Hello again!!! I'm writing this chapter on an impulse, because I'm bored and feel like writing a fight scene no matter how rubbish it is =) Sorry I haven't updated earlier; two weeks ago I was in Disneyland Paris (boohyeah!) Then I had my dad's birthday, then the weekend just gone I met Carlisle from Twilight!!! (I'm still in shock at his hotness ;p) and next weeks my 16th Birthday, so I'm getting hyped up for that! So yeah, sorry it's been kinda slow lately … July's a busy month even if I haven't been in school since June 10th … hehe anyway … here's chapter 4 =)

P.S: Sorry to Satsujin Akuma for the slowness of this chapter again, I really apologize =)

Disclaimer: Fillers in the Anime wouldn't exist if I owned Naruto

Enjoy!!

Previously, on 'The Wrong One'...

Kakashi stopped abruptly, which caused our heads to turn and look at him. He sat very still and very silent, as I could feel his chakra disappearing as he concealed it. I soon realised what the problem was and quickly hid mine too, signalling for Kiba and Naruto to do the same.

Someone had followed us.

And judging by his chakra …

I knew all too well who it was.

Chapter 4: Realization

We stood silently, not even daring to breathe out loud, being on our guard the whole time. I heard Naruto swallow and briefly glanced over to him before going back to my original posture. He looks terrified; since he can't read chakra as well as I can I know he isn't sure who has followed us; just that someone has.

I bit my bottom lip as I waited for him to show himself, curiosity and impatience being two of my weakest points. I narrowed my eyes slightly as I tried to locate whereabouts his chakra was coming from, so that I could reduce the time we had to wait for him.

I took a deep breath in and concentrated as much as possible on finding the man I hated with a vengeance, only to find that his chakra seemed to be everywhere at once, as if he knew we wouldn't find him even though we knew he was there; taunting us.

After some very long minutes, his voice broke out through the trees, echoing around us.

"Can't find me huh? Always knew you weren't the brightest ninja around but really … even you, Kakashi? You all disappoint me."

You could practically hear him shaking his head at us, as he appeared between two relatively large trees right in front of me, walking slowly; antagonising us.

"Kabuto."

It was then he shook his head and pushed his glasses further up his nose, looking up at us, causing what was left of the light in the sky to reflect off of them, and I briefly wondered how he could see at all while that happened.

It was brief, however, because he threw Shuriken.

Right towards me.

And if Kiba hadn't been paying full attention and pushed me out of the way in time, I may have just been killed in the most pathetic way possible.

Curse me and my short attention span.

I stood back up before muttering a quick 'thank you' to Kiba before he, Akamaru, Naruto, Kakashi and I leapt away from Kabuto and hid behind trees, ready to make an attack.

And for some bizarre reason, my mind trailed back to the Bell test with Kakashi-Sensei.

My heart sunk a little as that test brought back memories of Team 7 … lunch … and him.

Which, once again, distracted me.

I've really got to stop doing that .

Kabuto seemed to be done with Naruto who was slumped over by a tree seemingly unconscious, and was now heading after me again, throwing more Shuriken and Kunai in my direction.

It seemed for every weapon I dodged, I was hit by two, and as I jumped to get away, trying to heal the cuts as I did so, he only followed me, his (what seemed to be) never-ending supply of Kunai finally coming to a halt, much like his Shuriken.

Once I'd healed what could've been major wounds, I clenched my fist as I jumped from branch to branch, gathering my chakra into said fist, ready to turn and knock him out with one blow.

As soon as I felt I had enough chakra, I swiftly turned on the next branch and flew towards Kabuto, fist out, ready to punch.

If it were a comical scene I would've looked like Superman.

Kabuto didn't seem to be expecting it, but, since this is Kabuto, you can never be too sure.

Sure enough, as soon as my fist came within range of Kabuto's face, he dodged, grabbed my wrist and flung me off the tree and onto the ground below, hitting another tree along the way and causing it to break in half and stumble to the ground.

I winced in pain, but didn't let it get the better of me as I sat up slightly, breathing hard.

Kabuto jumped down onto the ground without buckling at all, and walked towards me, smirking all the while.

"Foolish girl. Although, I can see why he wants you. You truly do have great potential …" he trailed off, staring at the broken tree and the damage I'd caused to this small part of the forest. I narrowed my eyes at him curiously. 'What is he talking about? Who is 'he'? It couldn't be … surely not …he has what he wanted and he's had it for three years now, there's no way he could really want me is there?'

As if he read my thoughts, Kabuto looked back down at me, and I was just able to see his malevolent eyes behind the shades of his glasses. He sneered as he knelt down beside my head and put a hand to my stomach, healing it from where he threw me to the ground. I blinked up at him, surprised, and decided to use this as an opportunity to get him again.

I lunged up, chakra in my fist once again, and threw a punch at him. His eyes widened as my fist came into contact with his stomach and he hurled across the clearing, his back slamming hard against a tree (and breaking it), before he fell to the floor.

He grunted as he pushed himself up and glared at me, and I couldn't help but wear a triumphant smile across my face.

He chuckled slightly before standing up fully. "You may have won this round, Sakura, but trust me when I say I will be back for you. Orochimaru isn't done with his plans yet, Pinky."

And with that, he smirked and disappeared into thin air, before I could even retort to him calling me Pinky.

I knelt to the ground as my eyes widened and I took in what Kabuto had said.

Orochimaru isn't done with his plans yet …

And that's when it hit her.

After all this time, Orochimaru didn't even want Sasuke …

He wanted her …

Okay, chapter 4 is done. I know it's short again, but I'm really bad at fight scenes (be it the first one I've written) and I didn't want to spend too long on it.

So it was Kabuto … I want reviews telling me how many of you guys were expecting that … If I didn't write the story I probably would've suspected Sasuke or something, but meh, please tell me who you thought it would've been =)

Also, is it just me or who else gets really freaked out when Kabuto's glasses are reflecting light and you can't see his eyes??

One more thing, I want to know how many people out there actually read my notes at the beginning/end. If you do read this, please put the word 'banana' in your review. Anonymous or not, and whether you somehow merge it in with your actual review or not, I'm just curious coz I think it takes me more time to communicate with my fellow readers/writers than the actually story hehe.

One more thing: please PLEASE review!!!! The first person to review will get a dedication and a cookie in the next chapter, and each reviewer after that will get a dedication for the next chapter, as it's you guys that motivate me and keep me writing. Even a simple 'good' or 'bad' will suffice! So PLEASE REVIEW!

Remember: First one gets a cookie!

It's easy if you're not sure how … theres a simple button below which you click and you write something. Surely if you can take time scrolling down to 'Add story to favourites' or 'Add author to story alert' then you can take the time to write a simple sentence on what you thought of it =)

Anyhoo, over and out!
