ENJOY
And with that he dropped the person he was carrying, I couldn't prevent a gasp when I realized who it was. The person was a woman but what made me gasp was her hair, pink strands flowed as she fell towards the forest floor, there was only one person who has pink hair. Kakashi-san moved in inhuman speed and caught the pinkette before she hit the ground.
"Sakura!" I heard him almost scream, the worry was evident in his tone. My breath caught in my throat, I could not see the chakra flow in her body and that could only mean one thing, she-
"You bastard what did you do to her?" by now kyubi's chakra was visible.
"Isn't it obvious, she is dead"
D-dead?
Tears fell from my eyes.
"She can't be, Sasuke would not let her die."
"Sasuke did not kill her but he didn't even say anything against it. Stop deceiving yourself, Sasuke has no ties to Konoha whatsoever, why would he save one of those he wishes to kill? Hmm, it's your time next."
Two kunai were sent his way, Kakashi-san stood there with his arm extended.
"Disappear from my sight!" This time he did scream and that only made me flinch, never again had I seen Kakashi-san so furious; his eyes were both blazing with hate and his fist was clenched and shaking. I couldn't blame him, one of his students lay in front of him lifeless. I felt angry tears mixing with those of sadness as these two emotions enveloped my heart.
NORMAL POV
Naruto made a clone and with his help he created Rasengan in the palm of his hand. The clone disappeared with a POOF and the real one was already centimeters from the masked man. The attack never met its target as it went straight through the man's form, Naruto growled but the voice coming out of his mouth was that of a furious daemon, his chakra flared and a third tail appeared.
Seemingly out of nowhere a black and white dragon roared and flew towards Madara, its eyes reflected the burning anger of his creator, but he was not successful in harming the man either. Hinata clenched her fists, she wanted to fight as well, seeing the two boys attack again and again although they knew it was useless was making her heart bleed. She raised her hands and got into fighting stance, immediately chakra covered her palms. She rushed forward to help but she was stopped by a loud voice.
"Enough, everyone fall back we are not risking anyone else's life!" Kakashi spat out the words, he too wanted to tear the man into pieces, he dared to lay a hand in his student, he killed her! But he was the team leader, he had to think of his comrades' safety first.
"Sai, create a bird and take Sakura to Konoha as fast as you can, go straight to the Hokage. Naruto, Hinata you too, return to Konoha"
"Sen-"
"I said go back Naruto!"
"That bastard, he.." he couldn't finish, the words just wouldn't come out.
"I know"
"N-naruto-kun, w-we have to trust Kakashi-san…"
"You have no idea how it feels, how would you know what's best!" He screamed at her and he felt guilty as her eyes lowered to the floor. He sighed
"Let's go" his voice came out raspy almost drown in his own emotions.
….!...
Kakashi opened his eyes, everyone left, they were going to be okay on their own. Now that his team is safe his duty as a leader was complete, now it was time for his duty as a teacher and most importantly as a friend.
"Wise decision Hatake Kakashi, but you should have followed your own advice and head back, you don't want to end up as her, do you?"
""SHUT UP!"
Kakashi took out a kunai and made a small cut on his thumb, a series of handseals later he whispered "Kuchiyose no jutsu" a pack of dog appeared and without questioning they jumped towards every direction. Kakashi shoot forward with one of his hands outstretched.
As expected his attack didn't meet its target.
"Do you really think you can hit me?" the other male didn't speak and charged once again. He raised his fist for a punch but seeing that it didn't work he attempted to slit his throat. The masked man saw an opening and he materialized but in that exact instant two dogs that were holding kunais with their mouths jumped on him creating two deep wounds; one on his left shoulder and the other on his waist. He cursed his impatience, he had obviously underestimated Kakashi, he had the sharingan after all.
Madara jumped a couple of meters back, this was taking way too long for his liking, he had a war to prepare for.
"I enjoyed our little fight but I am a busy man, Farewell" and with that his body got sucked away, but before he disappeared Kakashi threw a kunai with a paper bomb attached to it right through the portal
'For Sakura!'
….!...
Team taka, along with their newest member, was standing at the entrance of the village hidden in the waves, completely oblivious to the fight commencing in some faraway place.
The village exactly what they imagined, small and quite, these were the best words to describe it. Most of the houses were built the traditional Japanese way; wooden skeleton, roofs made of wood or clay and of course sliding doors and paper. There were a few more modern buildings that seemed to be popping in the picture but they didn't make that big of a difference. All in all that village looked nothing like a hidden village.
Sightseeing though was not what they came to do, so they paid the place no attention as they followed the road to their destination; a small inn at the side off the main road leading to the center of the village. The inn was named "Seaside" it was a wooden, two-storied traditional inn. They walked inside, Sasuke and Sakura leading the way, Karin Suigetsu and Jugo on their heels.
A woman at the age of around forty years old came up to them and bowed.
"I'm Okino Mayu, the owner of this inn, how can I help you?"
"I'm Nagareya Sasuke and this is my wife Sakura, the man over there is my cousin, Nagareya Jugo and the couple over there are Hibaku Suigetsu and Karin, we would like to rent some rooms for two weeks."
"Oh, so you are here for vacation"
"Sort of, my sister over there and her husband are on their honeymoon, we just tagged along because they can't survive a day without us" Suigetsu grinned at the woman who giggled.
" I see so how about a room for you an Karin-san another for Jugo-san and a special one for the newlyweds?"
"Yes that is exactly what we had in mind, Okino-san"
"No need to be that formal Sakura-san, call me by my name please" She went back to the room she came from and came back a few moments later holding some keys. She handed them all from one
"Mizuki-chan, Aya-chan, come here" Two girls emerged from the front door, Aya and Mizuki were twins, they both had brown curly hair and grey eyes and they both wore a brow kimono, their only difference was Mizuki wore a blue obi and Aya a white one.
"Mizuki-chan you lead mister and miss Hibaku to room 1C, Aya-chan you lead Jugo-san to room 1D, mister and miss Nagareya please follow me" The woman lead them up the stairs to a room at the far end of the corridor.
"This is the room we have for such occasions, it's kind of isolated, that way the couples can have some privacy and the other costumers won't be bothered by the noises"
"Umm, what noises Mayu-san?"
"Oh come on Sakura-chan, no need for that, I was newlywed too at some point" she winked and poor Sakura blushed as she got the meaning hidden in those words. Sasuke on the other hand seemed unaffected 'I'll show you unaffected once these doors close' 'S-shut up!'The inn owner leaved and the two got inside and begun to unpack what little they had with them; clothes, toothbrushes, etcetera, etcetera. The room had an oshiire (= large closet used for storage) and a large futon was already laying on the floor, it was spacious but it wasn't that impressive.
Sakura took a quick shower and got ready for dinner, Mayu had informed them that it was to be served at nine thirty and she didn't have much time to relax. She followed Sasuke downstairs and sat in the large table beside him, they were going to try and get some information for tonight and in the next days they were going to try and get the woman to trust them.
After everyone was seated Mizuki and Aya served dinner which consisted of Kare raisu(Curry rise) with tonkatsu topping.
"So Mayu-san you ran this inn on your own?"
"Yes Karin-san, Mizu-chan and Aya-chan are the neighbors' daughters and they help most of the time"
"You said you are married though"
"I was married, my husband died ten years ago"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to upset you-"
"Don't worry about it Sakura-chan, Taro died to protect something very precious to us all and I'm very proud for him, he was a hero" Sakura smiled at the woman she sounded sad but the pride was evident in her tone.
"Enough about all these sad stuff, why don't we talk about something more interesting, like how did you two met, I love to hear that kind of stories" That question caught them all unprepared nevertheless no one let it show. Sasuke smirked and looked at Sakura with an amused expression.
"I think I will let my wife tell the story, she is better with words than I am and I know she loves it" 'That bastard! That was one dirty move!' 'What do we do now?' 'Easy, we make him regret it'
SAKURA POV
My inner sent me an evil smirk and I couldn't help but send an identical one right back.I smiled as sweetly as I could.
"We met two years ago, I was working at a hospital in a small village in Sunagakure. For me it was another hectic day as I had many patients to treat, we were facing a highly contagious stomach flu and every nurse, including myself, had to work a double shift, maybe even more. It was at that day I first saw Sasuke, he was laying on a futon on the floor-since we didn't have all that many beds- and was looking like a mess. I didn't exactly made the best first impression either, I was the nurse appointed to him for that night and all he did was rush in and out of the toilet and when he didn't we only ended up screaming at each other.
Anyway, he recovered after a week and I was so relieved to get rid of him. Next week though he was brought back with a twisted ankle, at first I cursed my luck that I was stuck with him again but in the end it wasn't that bad, we actually got along pretty well. He was relished the same day but he came back a few days later complaining about pain in his ankle, he demanded that I be the one to take care of him. Many times and many stupid excuses later I realized the reason behind his often 'accidents'.
One day in the middle of a heated conversation, he grabbed me and kissed me to prove his point that he could indeed flirt with a woman, after that he demanded that I go out with him. At first I said no because I thought he was a bastard, but seeing the way his face fell and how he pouted made me rethink. After that we went out on our first date!"
I finished off with a glittering smile. I could feel him glaring daggers at me and honestly, I was relieved that glares couldn't kill or I would be nothing more than dust right now. My inner self was laughing her head off painting a mental picture of Sasuke being K.O.-ed by a virus smaller than 250nm.
Mayu and the girls giggled, Jugo was smiling and Suigetsu was not even trying to conceal his laughter.
"Sasuke-san, I have to say that was a very interesting way to ask her out, but I can see why you went through all that trouble, you have a lovely wife"
"HN!"
"Sorry, what?" "Don't worry Mayu-san, it took me one whole year to learn how to speak Sasuk-ese"
*GLARE*
"Mou, Sasuke-kuuuuun you are noooo fun!"
*GLARE/SIGH*
"Anyway-" giggle "- it's getting late and you must be tired, I suggest we call it a day. Now you go get some rest and as for you two, try not to stay up all night" She pointed to Sasuke and me
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
"Hn"
We headed back upstairs and it just hit me, the room has only one futon, how on earth are we going to sleep? 'Now don't be shy Saku-chan' 'I'm not even bothering to answer to you'
Sasuke took some clothes and headed for the bathroom, following suite I took out a deep red night gown and put it on. Sasuke came out a few moments later, he paused and stared at me, his eyes trailed my form, I blushed 'looks like Ino did good making you buy all those underwear and night gowns *wink wink*' 'S-SHUT U-UP'
To my relief he moved past me and laid down on the futon 'which reminds me…'
"Umm… Sasuke, where am I going to sleep?" He raised an eyebrow
"Where do you think." That wasn't a question
"On the floor?" This time he smirked
"Last time I checked people slept on something called a bed"
"Yeah, no shit, but-"
"Just lay down and stop mumbling"
I gulped and went to brush my teeth, when I returned he appeared to be sleeping. I sighed, it's not like we haven't slept like this before, we were on the same team back when we were young.
'Still, this feels weird…' 'Just stop thinking about it, you are just going to sleep beside each other'
'Yeah' I laid down and I felt sleep tugging at my eyelashes, urging my eyes to close, I didn't try to fight back and soon my mind went blank.
That's it!
Man am I tired, its two in the morning and I'm currently one step away from falling asleep on the keyboard xD
