Chapter 5: Attacked And Saved

 

 

Sakura walked away from the cemetery after one last glance. She was sure that her friends were looking for her; I mean why wouldn't they be? They were probably going to yell at her for leaving but she didn't care she had to go see Sasuke's grave. She walked towards her house, figuring they'd look there sooner or later if they didn't already. She was thinking about that man she had met earlier and wondering why she felt like she could trust him and why she felt comfortable with him. He was a stranger to her yet she told him things she had yet to talk to her `friends' about.

 

 

It had to be close to about six o'clock right now because the sun was setting and it was turning dark. Sakura was not one who liked the dark. She actually hated it so she wanted to get home as soon as possible. Besides she was tired from what she did today. I mean she hadn't moved for over a month. Today was like the first day it ages she moved, her body was not used to moving so much so it became tired fast. Her house was about an hour and a half from her home. She had about a good thirty minutes before it became pitch black out.

 

 

She had to get home before than or else she might run into some trouble. And they only short cut was threw a forest. If she went threw it she would be home in matter of twenty minutes, if she didn't she'd be home in an hour and a half. If she did go threw the forest there is a chance she might run into things she might not want to and if she didn't take the shortcut there was even more of a chance she would run into something or someone she wouldn't want to. Her only real choice was to walk threw the forest so she did; unaware of a pair of red eyes following her every movement.

 

 

She scared going into forest alone but to go into a forest alone and at night, she was scare like hell of. She hated forest like this one. It was quite, so you could hear every sound threw out a large radius. It made her nervous and jumpy. Every noise she heard she looked at where it came from, afraid something might jump out and attack her. She was strong no doubt about that but that didn't make her any less nervous. She walked with a fast pace wanting to get out of there as fast as she could until she heard something move behind her. She stopped dead in her tracks and turned her around ever so slowly. She saw nothing.

 

 

She shook her head thinking she was going crazy and turned back around and continued walking until she heard the noise again and this time she also heard a voice. Hello. She swore she heard, so she turned around again to find nothing again. This was becoming more annoying than walking threw the forest itself not to mention it was scaring her like hell. She closed her eyes, breathing slowly. In and out, in and out, in and out. She continued to do it until she was calm. When she was she opened her eyes. When she was about to turn around, she felt a hot breathe on the back of her neck and heard someone breathing behind her. Her eyes widened and she gulped nervously. She prayed she was just imagining things but she had a feeling she wasn't. She look to the side of her, trying to see a glimpse of the thing behind her with her eyes and without moving her head but she was unsuccessful.

 

 

She than slowly and nervously turned her head to the side to look at whatever was behind her. All she saw were white fangs with blood dripping from them, onto her shoulder, dripping downwards onto either her back or chest or running down her arm. She resisted the urge to scream out in fear as her breathing quickened and panic arose in her. The blood had been enough to make her want to scream, the fangs just made it worse. She knew it wasn't her own for she felt no pain but the fact that it might be someone's she knew made her want to scream. She wasn't squeamish for she had seen a lot worse than this.

 

 

The fangs however were a different story; they made her scared and nervous for she never did see fangs that were that big. They were more than an inch long each and the fact that they looked sharper than daggers only made matters worse. She did not know what to do but she did know that she shouldn't scream or run away and she so was not going to, for a fear it might chase her. She felt a sharp pain in her other shoulder so she looked over to it, slowly and carefully. She saw huge scaly hand with two-inch claws on each finger, digging into her shoulder, making pain erupt from it. She grasped the pain as best she could without screaming but it was becoming hard for the claws only went deeper and deeper into her shoulder.

 

 

More pain than before forced it's way out and she felt she had no other options left. She elbowed it behind her and felt the clawed hand being removed from her shoulder. As soon as all of it was removed she shot forward, running up a tree that was in front of her. She stopped when she reached the highest part and sat on a branch, looking down at the…thing that had been behind her.

 

 

It had to be a good seven feet tall; it had about five eyes on its face, no nose or ears, only a mouth below all the eyes. The mouth was about two times the size of a shark's jaw. It was all scaly and had two white horns with red splashes here and there on them coming from the top of its head and a pair of black scaly wings coming out from his back. All in all it was the ugliest thing she had ever seen in her entire life.

 

 

She shivered in disgust just looking at it. She averted her gaze and looked at her now bleeding shoulder that had five holes in it, all five going straight down to the bone. Her skin was ripped and her muscles severed. All nerves were broke as well. Her arm was somewhat useless now since she could not move it without pain running threw her arm, making her lose her concentration and senses. She tore a piece of her clothes and placed it tightly around her wounded shoulder. She than looked back down at the monster only to find that it had…disappeared. “Shit.” She cursed, looking around for it. She just broke of one the most important rules of fighting. Never take your eyes off a fellow opponent. She couldn't find it and it was getting her nervous. How could she not be able to see a seven-foot monster? Only when she felt breathing on her neck did she realize where it was. How the hell could she not hear it from behind her when it probably made so much noise when it walked? She gulped once again as sweat formed on her forehead.

 

 

She felt a monstrous pain threw out her lower back as she was sent flying into a tree, making a large indent in the shape of her body. She began to fall downward towards the ground, over fifty feet below. `I'm dead for sure.' She thought as she closed her eyes waiting for the impact. When none came more than a moment later she found herself in the arms of that man she talked with before. He had a scowl on his face and his eyes were red with black swirls. He looked really pissed. He looked just like… `Sasuke.' Sakura thought as she reached out and touched the man's cheek. His eyes were immediately on her as his face softened. “Sharigan.” She murmured to him. His eyes widened and his eyes immediately turned back to their normal color.

 

 

Sakura fainted in his arms right after. `That was close.' He thought to himself as he sighed in relief. He ran towards the Sakura's house avoiding everyone he saw. He made it into her house and placed her on her bed, pulling the covers up over her legs. He went into her bathroom and returned a moment later with a first aid kit in his hands. He placed it on the bed before going over to her dresser and pulling out a light blue pajama top with Sakura petals on it. He made his way back to the bed and placed the shirt next to her.

 

 

He sat her up and took off her shirt, throwing it on the ground. He then proceeded to bandage her wounds. The one on her shoulder he did first. Than he looked over at her stomach, a small hole where a hand could fit was visible threw the blood that covered it. It was black, blue and purple all around it. He turned her over and saw it was the same on her back. He quickly cleaned up all the blood and began to wrap it up.

 

 

When he was done, he took the clean pajama shirt he got from her dresser and placed it on her. He than laid her back down on the bed and pulled the covers up to her neck and tucked her in. He took a chair from the desk in the corner of the room, placed it next to the bed and sat down in it, watching over Sakura. `You better not die, Sakura. I still have to complete my missions, you know. Without you I won't be able to.' The man thought to himself. He fell into a dreamless sleep soon after.

 

 

 

(A/N: End of chapter seven. I know the identity of the man is probably killing all of you but hold on his identity will show up with a huge twist that will bring the sequel to it. The man is in the 7thchapter and the twist is in the last chapter which I think will be the 8th. Bare with me for now. Thank you to all who reviewed, I would appreciate it if you all continued to do so. Thank you once again. Until next time.)

 

 

 

Here's a preview of the next chapter:

 

 

 

`Damn this guy. How did he get me to blush when I usually only blush if Sasuke says something?' Sakura asked herself. `Because he's just like Sasuke, except the fact that he's more open and seems interested in us.' Her inner self told her.`True but still, I only blushed when Sasuke said something like that to me. When anybody else said it I just thanked them in response, I never blushed like this. So why am I now?'`You like him, obviously.' `I do not. I only like…love Sasuke.'`Well you shouldn't love him anymore he's dead. Now maybe you and him could make a clan of your own.' Her inner self told her. Sakura blushed even more at the comment. `Shut up.' `Why? It's just a suggestion.' `Just shut up and leave me alone right now, ok?' `Whatever.' Her inner self said.
