But not performing a couple of more hand signs to put an illusion over my body so that the news could not come down and take me somewhere or cops trying to put me in jail.
"So sleepy." I muttered to myself
Chapter 9
(Chirp, chirp)
Groaning at the loud noise, I let my eyes open and take in my surroundings. I was still in the clearing that held the battle from yesterday.
Slowly as I could I started to sit up in a sitting stance but, immediately fell back down from the pain in my stomach. Using my chakra that came back to me from last night and started to heal my stomach and any other untreated things that Katsuya couldn't finish.
Once I was done, I stood up and stretched my joints so that the kinks would pop. Flaring my chakra up a little bit, I checked to see how much I had. "Seems that I only have half of it right now, but taking a soldier pill should replenish the rest of it." I said while reaching into the torn up pouch on my thigh to get the said pills.
Popping one in and feeling the other half of chakra I needed and proceeded over to where I last saw Kabuto. As I walked through the fallen trees and dodging some loose branches, I finally found what seems to be the remains of his body.
Walking closer, I put my fingers on his neck to see if he was still breathing. Luckily he wasn't. Pulling out a sealing scroll, I started to put the corpse into the scroll so I could send it to Tsunade-shisou for research.
Once done, I stood up and pocketed the scroll in my pouch and jump to a sturdy branch and took off through the forest toward my apartment. By the way the sun sat in the sky, I knew that Amu was soon to be out of school.
2 hours later
Jumping through my opened window and landing in my living room, I collapsed onto the couch. Seeing a red light blinking onto my house phone, I turned it on and went to voicemail.
"Eh, five new messages?" I said to myself, I was kind of shocked since I didn't really know a lot of people here in this dimension. Pressing play, I started to listen to the new voicemails.
"Sakura-san, we have a problem. Ran, Miki, and Suu have been kidnapped by Nakaido-sensei, I need your help." Yesterday at 4:00 pm
"Sakura-san! Are you home yet? I just watched the news and saw you fighting that kabuto guy. Please call me back immediately, I'm worried." Yesterday at 6:00 pm
"Hey Haruno! Nice fight with that guy today. I'm really hoping that your okay." Yesterday at 6:10 pm
"Hello neighbor, just wanted to let you know that you left your window open all night. Don't worry I watched to see if anyone was going to try and break in. Have a good day." Today at 6:30 am
"Sakura-san I'm really worried, you still haven't called me back. I'm going to school and after the Guardians and I are going to go and look for Ran, Miki, and Suu." Today at 8:00 am
End of messages
After hanging up the phone, I quickly ran and jumped into the shower. Once I was done I wrapped a orange fluffy towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom and toward my closet. Pulling out a red long sleeve off the shoulder shirt that reached mid thigh. Under the shirt I had black short shorts for good movement and thigh high black socks that could connect with the shorts. Then I put on black and red combat boots and laced them up. Walking out of my bedroom, I made my way over to the kitchen and made me some late lunch since it was two o clock.
Once done, I walked over to my weapons pouch and scrolls that were laying on the floor since I threw them off before I jumped into the shower. Taking my weapons out of the useless pouch, I then put them into another pouch and sealed my battle ax scroll into my wrist with some other scrolls.
When I finished I then walked over to the window and shut it. Then I walked over to my door and walked out and closed it. Once done with everything, I did the hand signs that let me disappear into a storm of cherry blossoms.
As the cherry blossoms flew around the city looking for Amu, people were amazed the beautiful sight.
Feeling Amu's signature with Nikaido, I quickly sent my petals toward the direction.
Once I arrived I landed in the alley way in front of the Easter building. I watched as the seen unfolded before my eyes.
"I'm amazed that you were able to find me, Himamori-san." Nakaido said.
Amu gave him a glare before saying, "Shut up and give me back my eggs!"
The man gave out a chuckle before opening what seemed like a case. When it was opened I saw three colorful eggs.
"Amu-chan!" was yelled through the eggs while it shaked from the movement inside. My eyes widen at the familiar voices "Ran, Miki, Suu!"
I narrowed my eyes and flash stepped over to the side of a vehicle that Amu and the Guardians traveled in.
Amu took a step forward and growled out his name but, Nikaido said, "Now Himamori-san if you take another step forward I just might accidently crush your precious charas."
Amu's eyes widen in fear and took a step back. The Guardians came and stood beside Amu to try and comfort her while Tadase and Kukai kept there eyes on the man.
Until the blond chick I saw at the concert step out of the car and walked toward Nikaido but, stopped beside Amu, making Yaya scoot away from Amu.
"This is enough, Nikaido-san. You don't need this weaklings chara's." she said with arrogance.
Amu sweat dropped at what she said, while I rolled my eyes and thought "Found Sasuke's wife."
Nikaido tsked the blond before another lady came out, she wore an ugly yellow business suit, glasses, and her hair was pulled into two low pigtails that were curled.
"What do you think your doing, Utau? We have no time for this foolishness." The lady said.
I'm guessing by the way the blond's back tensed a little bit that was her name.
"I'm will not be on the same side with the man who is using Hinamori's eggs for the Embryo." Utau said toward the lady.
My fist clenched once again. This was all for this Embryo. It was just an egg that could make one and I mean ONE dream come true. Why wish when you could make it happen. I shook my head at their childish antics; this was stupid!
The lady shook her head and said, "Now, now Utau. What would happen to Ikuto? If you side with the Guardians and not with him?" the lady asked toward Utau.
My eyes widen before going to normal. So it was true that Ikuto is with Easter, more reasons on to focus on the mission and not him.
Utau looked down to what seemed like she was thinking about the question before raising her head and nodding toward the lady.
"I'm on your side, Sato-san."
The lady name Sato nodded her head and said, "Good now come over here and join my side, where you belong and take out the Guardians and Hinamori."
I narrowed my eyes and watched as Utau walk forward and stand beside Sato-san and Character transform with her chara. Amu and the Guardians looked surprised once she was done. I was kind of confused, can't they all do that? Looks like I need to go and visit a man in the planetarium again.
Utua was now in a devil or bat looking outfit and her presence turned evil a little bit but, not evil evil like some snake man that I knew who like to play with little boys especially if there from the Uchiha clan. I mentally shuddered at that, man was that a turnoff!
Turning my attention back to the battle that was going to take place before me.
Swiftly and quietly I made the hand signs for the barrier jutsu but, was shocked when Ikuto jumped out of nowhere and landed between them.
He gave a sly smirk and said, "Neh, Utau character transferred with Ill. That's something I haven't seen in a while."
Utau immediately stopped what she was doing and stared at the boy in front of her.
Hearing a curse I turned my head to Sato-san and watched her lips mutter, "Utau hasn't seen Ikuto for a while. This is not good at all."
After she said that, Utau changed back into her normal self and launched herself toward the sly alley cat. Seeing that they were all distracted, I made my appereance.
Flash stepping so I was now leaning on the side of the stairs in the middle facing Ikuto and Utau while the Guardians and Amu were on my right while Nikaido and Sato-san were to my left.
Clapping a little bit to get their attention, I smirked and said, "Seeing that everyone is all happy and bubbly, why don't you return those beautiful eggs to their rightful owner, Neh Nikaido."
Everyone gasped and Ikuto's eyes flew wide at my sudden appearance. Turning my head toward the Guardians I gave them my ex-sensei's favorite greeting "Yo!"
"S-Sakura-san, your okay!" Amu said while shocked to see me with no bruises and cuts.
Nodding my head to confirm her worry and turned my head toward Nikaido and stood up and walked forward a little bit so I was now standing a couple of meters from Ikuto and Utau.
Giving a innocent smile, I lifted my right hand toward Nikaido and asked, "May I have the eggs back, Nikaido?"
The said man gave me a glare and said, "I don't think so, Harumo-san."
Giving him a glare I said, " It's Haruno! H-A-R-U-N-O! So help me if you say my name wrong one more time this" swiftly pulling out a kunai that glinted from the light "will make friends with your heart or throat, pick you choice."
The Guardians flinched at my voice but, continued to stare in astonishment at my bravery.
Nikaido gave out a chuckle and kneeled on one knee so he could open his brief case, "How's about I chose nethier, Harumo-san."
While he was digging through his case and I watched every movement while pulling out some ninja wire and wrapped it around the loop in my kunai while everyone watched him.
Narrowing my eyes I then said, "Sorry but that's not a good answer. When between life and death, you must always choose."
And rite when he pulled out whatever he was looking for my kunai was ready. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever" then tossed a small metallic ball into the air.
Once he did that, I threw my kunai around the handle of the brief case and yanked it out of his hand while the ball let out a fog to cover the air and hide everyone from each other.
Securing the brief case inside my hands, I was about to walk over to Amu but, I heard her shriek in pain. Turning my body around as fast as I could, I saw Amu being held in a lock by Nikaido. Quickly before he could see, I stuck my hand inside of the brief case and picked up the first two eggs that could fit in my hand and sticked them inside my kunai pouch.
Amu had a terrified look on her face while she was held captured in the arms of the smirking Nikaido.
"Give me the brief case and I'll hand over Himamori-san with out a scratch on her pink head."
I gave him a glare then shifted my eyes toward Amu who was scared, my eyes softened at her face it reminded me of when I was picked on as a little girl because of my big forehead. Glancing back at him, I nodded my head in agreement and sat the case on the ground while he shoved Amu toward me and swiftly took the case and ran off into the fog.
I put my arms around the sobbing Amu like an older sister would do to comfort her little sister. I then pulled out the two eggs that I had stuffed into my weapons pouch and put them in front of Amu. She gasped as she watched Ran and Miki pop out of their eggs and flew to her face and cuddled on each side of her cheek, crying with their owner over their missing chara and friend.
I turned my head away from the crying Amu and charas and stared off to where Nikaido went with Suu. I narrowed my eyes "You better watch out Nikaido, I'm coming for you."
The next day
I was currently walking down the sidewalk to who knows where. I'm wearing my school uniform but, I couldn't go to school knowing that Suu was out there with that man. It just peeved me off! How can someone kidnap someone else chara for the purpose of obtaining the Embryo.
Clenching my teeth, I slowly put a mask on my face to try and control my emotions. That surely wasn't working as plan. I gritted my teeth the only way that I could finally get calm about this was to find Nikaido and beat his fu-"oof!" I said when I bumped into something hard.
Backing up a bit and rubbing my forehead, I turned my attention to the object or person that caused me a little pain in my forehead.
And boy did that person had some pretty eyes. Shaking my head mentally I turned my focus back to Ikuto.
"Gomen." I said then stepped around him to continue my journey but, I was stopped when there was a tug on my wrist. Turning around I found the culprit staring into my eyes.
Raising an eyebrow I asked, "What?"
He then leaned down to my height still holding onto my wrist and stared into my eyes once again.
"Sakura, don't ever scare me like that again."
I stared with wide eyes at what he said. Did he? Did he just say? Does he care about me? Before I could even ask him about it someone interrupted me.
"Hey Ikuto! You picking on another pre-schooler."
My gaze dropped from ikuto's eyes to the voice behind him. Peaking my head around his shoulder I looked to see two cute boys wearing the same clothes as Ikuto "school clothes I guess."
"Sugoi! Aren't you just a cutie no wait I take that back a hottie!" the short black haired boy said. The boy's companion nodded his head in agreement while he took a glance at me. Rolling my eyes I turned back so that I was now looking at Ikuto.
I don't know about you but, did his eyes get more mesmorizing. I could get lost in those beautiful dark blue eyes forever!
And then I was hit with this random smell; since I'm trained as a medic, I should focus on working my senses especially smell. And the smell that lingered on Ikuto was definitely not his cause I mean come on, why would a dude smell like strawberries and cream? But the scent was familiar but, I just could- "Amu!" What the? Was she with Ikuto? Wasn't she supposed to be at school? And why was she so close to Ikuto to have her scent get on him? Oh boy was I mad.
But then my mind went blank. "Why do I care so much? Do I like him? Why am I having feelings for the boy? I shook my head and stared at his chest while he silently watched me with soft eyes. "I shouldn't be having ANY feelings with him! I need to focus on my mission and not get side track." With that in my mind, I looked up to Ikuto and noticed how close our faces were. A faint tint of pink was clouded onto my cheeks.
And then Ikuto was slowly closing in the gap between us. I watched as both of our eyes started to close at the same time. My mind going blank at the closeness of his face toward mine.
Just a couple of more centimeters and I would feel his lips onto mine.
I could feel his breath against my lips as I closed my eyes shut ready for him.

I could feel his breath against my lips as I closed my eyes shut ready for him.
And that's when Yoru thinks it all cool and stuff to jump in between our faces screaming out "I got's my favorite treat-nya!"
I jumped back and away from them both and turned my back to them and tried to hold my blush down and see if my heart would stop beating so fast. I didn't even dare turn back around and see what was on Ikuto's face.
Feeling a dark presence nearby with Amu with it made me jump out of the blush and I started to sprint down the sidewalk leaving Ikuto behind without a single glance to see what he was doing.
Running around the corned I quickly flash stepped toward Amu's presence and pumped chakra into my legs and jumped over a metal gate and landed in a crouch before zooming my way in to see Amu with thousands of walking squares coming toward her. The presence was all dark, stepping in front of Amu who gasped at my appearance and was shocked to see me.
"S-Sakura-san?"
I gave her a nod of acknowledgement and threw my hands into hand signs to perform a jutsu and grabbed Amu by the waist and jumped to the roof hanging upside down by using chakra. And then I muttered the name of my jutsu so it could began "Water style: CHERRY TSUNAMI!"
Water from nowhere with cherry blossom petals in it came and swept the squares away so we could be out of danger. Jumping back down on a floor, I slowly released Amu to see if she was okay to walk then motioned for her to follow as I sprinted up the stairs toward Suu and Nikaido.
Once we arrived at the room that held Suu, I did a quick kick to the door and Amu watched in amazement as the door broke into little pieces of dust. Stepping inside with a back up kunai in hand I saw Suu inside a big incubator with purple presence inside.
Seeing movement to the side, I quickly shielded Amu and stuck my kunai out toward Nikaido.
"Nice timing, Himamori-san and Harumo-san."
I gritted my teeth and whispered to Amu "Take care of Suu while I get Nikaido."
She nodded at my instructions and ran to the incubator screaming "Suu!"
"Amu-chan!"
Nikaido glared at Amu and took a step forward but, I shifted over so that I was standing face to face in front of him. His glare then was turned to me which I gladly return the stare with a smirk.
"I hope your ready for your punishment, Nikaido."
He gave me a chuckle and said, " Oh dear, Harumo-san. I won't be receiving any punishment, but you will."
I didn't notice when he stuck some type of collar inside of his collar then he lunged for me. Being lazy, I simply flicked the kunai so it took a piece of his shirt and lodge itself into the wall. Nikaido's eyes went to saucers and I tried to hide back the laugh that was about to erupt from my mouth but, it quickly disappeared once Amu broke the incubator and the purple stuff was set free and so was Su.
Turning my head, I watched as the purple stuff start to form into a big giant in front of Amu and I. Then I heard Su's voice said, "Leave it to me, Amu-chan and Sakura-chan!"
Then her and Amu formed into Amulet clover and purify the eggs. Sensing and seeing that the danger was gone, I went up to the wall and grabbed my kunai and started to walk out but, all of the sudden something was clasped around my neck.
Turning around I saw Nikaido give me a smirk and I looked down at what was on my neck. It was a black collar and for some reason it gave off thus bad feeling. Quickly I grabbed the collar and started to rip it off. Seeing as brute force didn't work I used chakra but then the stupid collar shocked me!
I narrowed my eyes and growled out, "What the h#%* is this!"
He gave out a sinister chuckle and said, "Thank your fellow ninja for giving us information about your special power or shall I say chakra."
My eyes widen, that Kabuto! If he wasn't dead I would so go back and kick his butt again and again.
"What does this thing do?" I asked him with a glare that made him flinch.
"Oh, don't worry about it, Harumo-chan. It just stops you from using your chakra. So now you do things like normal people do." I hissed at the new suffix at the end of my name but, disappeared once he said the last sentence.
"WHAT!"
And then BAM
I socked him in the face making him go unconscious. I was breathing heavily to try and calm myself down but, it seemed like that I wouldn't stop. So I brushed past Amu who had a worried look on her face and continued my way down the stairs to where I bumped into the guardians who had confused and worried looks on their face once they saw me.
Walking out of the building I started to make my way to my apartment. So I could take a long and hot shower.
After the longest and hottest shower
I stepped out of the humid bathroom and walked toward my dresser to pull out my pajamas. Since I wasn't in the mood for any crap or anything, I pulled out blue and white plad short shorts and a white tank top.
Putting those on and walking to the fridge to get me a bottle of water and sat on the couch. Turning the television on, I then took a big gulp of water before tossing it to my side and grabbed the annoying collar around my neck and with a flick of my wrist it came off with a snap.
Tossing the collar on the coffee table I then propped my feet onto the table and let my head hit the back of the couch while my still wet hair cascaded down the back as well.
I gave a smirk at my performance today, I easily tricked Nikaido that the collar was actually holding me back from using chakra. I even added some chakra at the tips of my finger so it seemed like I was actually shocked.
Tomorrow I would get up and study it before I went to school then send it over to Tsunade with kabuto's body.
And Naruto said that I was a bad liar, I snorted at that then closed my eyes for some rest.
The next day
I was walking gracefully down the hallway toward my classroom with students and teachers watching with admiration. Once I opened the door and saw Nikaido standing there at the podium looking like he was giving a speech before running up to me and giving me a hug.
"Aw, look who's here! My other favorite student, Sakura-chan."
I just raised my eyebrow and pushed him off and walked down the isle to my seat which had a worried looking Amu sitting in front of my desk watching me. Once I was beside her, I leaned down so that I could lean in her ear and whisper "Neh, Amu-chan. Haven't you seen anyone act before?"
And with that I sat down at my desk and left and astonished Amu behind and focused my attention on Nikaido.
"Alright class today we will get to do some English essays, YAY!" he said with a smile.
All the classmates groaned while I had a grin come upon my face at the have to that I didn't have to do any.
"Oh don't worry Sakura-chan, you get to participate as well!"
And that's when my grin fell and a glare was placed onto my face directed toward the sensei.
"Now open your books up and let's get started."
"Hai!"
But once I looked down the memories of what happened yesterday before the fight ran through my head "And then Ikuto was slowly closing in the gap between us. I watched as both of our eyes started to close at the same time. My mind going blank at the closeness of his face toward mine.
Just a couple of more centimeters and I would feel his lips onto mine.
I could feel his breath against my lips as I closed my eyes shut ready for him"
And that's how my day started off with a big blush on my face and some guardians with little annoying charas teasing at the new color of my face.
"Ikuto, what am I to you?"
.

Now I'm back!
Well that was it so until next time^^
R&R
