Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ A Long Forgotten Survivor ❯ Sakura's plan ( Chapter 5 )

…

 

The four shinobi were sitting around a fire, each one's bag by their side.

 

"Ok. That's it! You're gonna tell us who you are and what's going on here!" Naruto jumped up and pointed to Takara. Sakura nodded agreeing with Naruto.

 

"Fine. My name is Takara." She kept looking at the fire, her face neutral like always.

 

"You're…you're that girl who came and lived with us for a little while before running away." Sasuke looked at the floor and spoke if he thought he was dreaming.

 

Takara just nodded her answer, then mumbled, "Yes."

 

"Hold on a sec. You said your name is Takara. Takara what?" Naruto looked confused and kept looking towards Takara.

 

Sasuke looked at her as well, also waiting for her answer.

 

She clenched her fist at that question then stood up and looked to Sasuke. "I'll take the scroll, for now I'm going to go sleep. We're gonna have to start early tomorrow."

 

Sasuke just pulled out his scroll and handed it to Takara. She took it from him, put in her bag, took out her sleeping bag and then lay down. Sasuke keeping a close eye on her all the while.

 

Sakura kept shifting her glance between Takara and Sasuke. O no! they knew each other before. This could lead to something. I better stop them before anything really does happen.

 

Sasuke really helped me. Takara shook her head. No! I can't get attached to anyone. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

 

Yes! This is my chance. She's asleep. Sakura tip toed over to Takara's bag to take the scroll and hide it.

 

Who's that? O, it's just Sakura. Whatever. Takara got annoyed from her presence, but didn't wake up.

 

…

 

As everyone woke up and got ready to go, Naruto said, "Make sure the scroll is with us."

 

"Ya, it's right here." Takara was bending down to take it out when she realized that it wasn't there. She looked around her.

 

"Oh my god! Takara lost the scroll. Now, all because of her, we failed the mission." Sakura looked hopefully at Sasuke.

 

But before he could say anything Takara extended her hand to Sakura. "Gimme the scroll Sakura."

 

"What do you mean? I don't have it." Sakura was shocked and laughed nervously.

 

"No you don't. You hid it. So give it back, you're causing us to be late." Takara started becoming impatient.

 

Sakura reluctantly handed the scroll back to Takara, frightened at how she found out.

 

Sakura looked at Sasuke and saw that he was staring at Takara in wonder. NOOOO!! I JUST MADE IT WORSE!! Sakura sagged.
