Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Far End ❯ Volume Two, Chapter Four: Wine Cat ( Chapter 4 )

Wine Cat

-Sakura-

Meeting him was the biggest mistake. I should've walked away. But I didn't. I could've avoided this whole mess. Now, I will have to clean it up.

We were on a mission then. This was before Sasuke left us. I was fifteen at the time. Team Seven went into the woods. Things have been off in the village lately. We had to investigate. Where do I begin with this?

Looking back makes my head hurt. Give me a minute. Okay. I'm fine now. Where was I?

Oh yeah. Him.

I met him in the woods. How escapes me at the moment. He was leaning up against a fallen tree. Honestly, I thought he was dead. I remember picking up a stick and poking him.

“Hey. You dead? Hey. Hey!” I said. I kept poking him. Suddenly, he let out a low groan. I backed up. What the hell?

He lifted his head. His eyes looked so bloodshot. He had to be about my age. The baggy eyes and disheveled appearance had me worried.

“Are you all right?” I asked. He groaned in response. I didn't move at first.

“Do you need help?” I asked. He looked up at me. I froze. What should I do?

That's when he grinned at me. Wait… Was he drunk?

“I'm Katsuya,” he said.

“Sakura,” I said. Why was I still talking to him? I should've just turned and walked away. It should've ended there. That way…

Katsuya tried to get up but wobbled over. “Whoa!”

“Careful!” I shouted. He looked at me and laughed. I stared at him with my right eye twitching.

“What?” I asked. He didn't answer.

“Sakura-chan!” Naruto shouted. I turned my head. There was my escape. I didn't look back as I ran off.

I wish that was the end. But sadly, it wasn't.
