Hey guys, here is chapter four of mission gone wrong!
To Reignashii; first of all thank you for reviewing^.^ Now about your question, I don't want to reveal too much so I'm just going to say that Sakura can be very stubborn from time to time…..
I always forget about the disclaimer, oops^.^'. I DO NOT OWN NARUTO
Well,
ENJOY
It felt as though days had passed since they took off but it has only been four hours. "Can we take a break" Suigetsu whined once again "Shut up lazy-ass" Karin glared at him.
SAKURA'S POV
I stared ahead of me into the dense forest, everything seemed so peaceful. The birds were chirping as though they had no care in the world, the sun was shining it's light blinding, a symbol of life. I felt a biter smile tugging at the corners of my lips as my eyes fell on my ex-teammate's back. I wonder, should I be feeling afraid, should I be feeling anger? Everything is just so fucked up. He killed his brother; his goal is complete so why isn't he going back? why are his eyes even colder, overflowing with hate?
He must have felt my eyes on him because he turned around, his midnight orbs as addicting as I remembered. I kept my face straight, impassive. He turned around again and I sighed inwardly. My eyes turned to the other members of team Taka, Karin and Suigetsu were in either side of me while Jugo was behind me.
I could no longer take this uncomfortable silence so I decided to break it. "Hey Suigetsu, is that Zabuza's sword?" He seemed surprised, I couldn't tell if that was because of the question or if I had just startled him."Yeah, Sasuke over there helped me find it" He smirked "Cool isn't it?" He said while grabbing the sword and swinging it lightly. I noded with a ghost of a smile on my face, Zabuza huh?
I could never forget that mission, it was our first B-rank, although it should have been an A-rank. I shivered as I remembered Sasuke after his and Naruto's battle with Haku, the senbon sticking out of his seemingly lifeless body. I wanted to die right then and there by his side.
A hand waving in front of my face broke my train of thoughts."Hey!" I caught Suigetsu's hand . "Sorry I zoned out" and with that I increased my pace a little.
NORMAL POV
"Let's take a break!" Suigetsu's voice boomed in the silence. It was almost dark, the five shinobi had been traveling for seven hours taking only three short brakes. " We will stop here for the night" at the sound of Sasuke's voice all five shinobi dropped to the forest floor. "Karin, is there anybody near?" She seemed startled for a moment before bringing her hands in front of her forming the tiger seal. "I don't sense anybody".
They all started pitching their respective tents, except for Sakura who just got her sleeping bag out. "Sakura-san it would be wiser to pitch a tent it might rain tonight" "I know but I don't have one with me" she smiled at Jugo's concerned tone. "How so?" "Umm, another member of my team was carrying it" Kakashi to be exact.
"I will take the first watch" Suigetsu announced after they ate (in utter silence may I add). He stood up and proceeded to lean against a tree a fair distance from where they would be sleeping. Jugo sighed "I will take the second then and Sasuke can take the final one".
Sakura stood up and started walking towards her sleeping bag before a strong hand grabbed her and spun her around. Her eyes met onyx ones as Sasuke formed hand seals too fast for her to distinguish them. Suddenly his hand rested on her stomach and she immediately felt most of her chakra being pulled out of her reach. 'Did he just put a seal on me?' She thought not really appreciating his actions she frowned and shot him a death glare. Totally unaffected he disappeared inside of his pitch-black tent. A vein popped in the young medics forehead, oh how she wanted to punch him and drag him back in Konoha-then kiss him, but that's an entirely different story-unfortunately she couldn't. So she chose to just sleep it off, she was exhausted and drained of chakra after all.
….::::::::::(!)::::::::::….
Sakura woke up hours later to the faint light and the smell of soaked soil. 'It did rain after all'. Only after getting rid of the remnants of sleep did she realize that she wasn't wet as she expected to be. Opening her eyes she realized she was inside someone's tent. Looking next to her she almost choked. There was no one there but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the uchiwa decorating the empty sleeping bag. She swallowed hard 'did he move me?' She kicked herself mentally for not waking up when moved. Normally the smallest of things could wake her up but yesterday she didn't even stir.
Sighing she got up 'Well there is not much I can do about it now'. She noticed her chakra was almost back to its usual levels 'Seems the effects of that seal are only temporary'. Exiting the tent she caught a glimpse of Karin sitting on a small rock trying to glare a hole to the tree in front of her. "Good morning" she looked back at her glare still on her face "Morning" she said through gritted teeth. Sakura sweatdropped and thought it would be best to leave her alone.
….::::::::::(!)::::::::::…
Karin was in a foul mood. She woke up totally content until she noticed that Sakura's chakra signature was no longer located where it should have been. She bolted up and frantically searched for her, she almost screamed as she realized where that pink haired girl was. The only thing keeping her from letting out a screech was the fact that Sasuke was not with her, then again that meant nothing.
She brought her attention back to the girl. "Hey pinky". Said girl stopped dead in her tracks and turned to glare. "I don't care what you do just stay away from Sasuke-kun otherwise not even you will be able to recognize yourself after I'm done with you" her voice dripped with venom and her eyes glowed with killing intent. Sakura was not the least bit afraid, why should she, she could kill the redhead without even trying. "Oh I'm so afraid" she laughed "I would like to see you try though" she said in mock sweetness with a grin plastered in her face.
Karin was on her feet in seconds aiming a punch at Sakura. The pink haired girl caught the punch in an iron grip without even looking. Emerald eyes clashed with red ones and the atmosphere seemed to have gotten thicker. Karin tried to move her hand but Sakura's iron grip prevented her from doing so, she didn't use any chakra but even without it her strength was impressive to say at least.
"I wouldn't try anything else if I were you" Sakura said in a low tone. She then let her hand go. Karin was ready to try again but stopped herself as she felt the boys approaching. It wasn't long before three familiar figures emerged from the shadows casted by the tall trees.
Suigetsu being Suigetsu decided to speak even though he could feel the tension in the air "So, Karin you seem more bitch-y today" -PUNCH-PUNCH-Karin continued punching him while decorating his name with various adjectives. The rest of the team ignored them as usual.
….::::::::::(!)::::::::::….
Kakashi and Sai were running as fast as their feet would let them, and finally the gates of Konoha became visible. They sped up even more if that was possible. They passed the gates and headed straight for the hokage tower ignoring the curious gazes people shot them. It didn't matter, even the hell the hokage was going to put them through for bursting inside her office like they did didn't matter.
The hokage looked up from all the paperwork her assistant made her do, ready to shoot whoever made all that rockus through a wall-or two-. However, she had to restrain herself as she saw Sakura's team, they were a bloody mess, panting and obviously exhausted. She also noted the absence of her student.
She couldn't stop the words that left her mouth. "What the hell happened to you? Where is Sakura?"Kakashi straightened his back and cleared his throat.
That's it,
