Angel
Chapter 11: Battle of the angels
"Sakura, wake up." Sasuke said as he caressed her face. (A/N: For those who were wondering why they were together, look at the scene in chapter 10)
She lazily open her eyes and rubbed it. She looked at her lover and the place where they were.
"Is it time to go to work?" She asked her voice a little bit groggy.
"No but your friends called early. I think they were going to tell you something important." Sasuke said as he continue to stroke her cheek softly.
"I see… Can I call them?" She asked. He just nod and give her the mobile.
Meanwhile…
The phone rings and Tenten immediately answered the phone.
"Hello? Sakura? What the hell?! Where are you?!" Tenten asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, why did you called earlier anyway?" She asked back.
"Oh that! We better follow this dark aura around the city. They were attacking." Tenten said.
"Meet me at the corp. building." Sakura said as both of them hung up.
"What does she say?" Hinata asked.
"We'll be going now. We have to meet her at the corp. How about the back up? When
All of them will get here?" Tenten asked.
"I don't know. I'm not sure.' Hinata answered.
"They better be early.' Tenten said as they change into their angel form. Their wings emerged from their backs. White feathers were sprawled gracefully and some of the feathers were falling.
"Let's go." Hinata said as they both take off and fly.
"Sasuke-kun… I'll be going now." Sakura said.
"Is there a problem?' He asked.
"No, don't worry. I'm just going to work early." Sakura said.
"I'm coming with you." He said as he stand up but was pushed by Sakura.
"You should sleep. Take a rest, have a break." Sakura said.
"But I already take a rest." He protested as he lay on the bed again. She ignores his protest and hummed a soft tune.
'What is this feeling? Why is it like this is the last time… the last time I'm going to hold her this close?' He asked himself as he tightens his hold to her.
"I love you." She said as she ran her hands to his chest. He just nodded as she continue humming. Suddenly, he felt his eyelids closed again. He was lost again into the darkness of sleep.
"Goodbye Sasuke…" She said as she change to her angel form and fly towards the corp.
Tenten and Hinata looked at the devils in front of them; they didn't expect that the devils were the four soul capturer.
"Look what we have here… Tenten and Hinata. It's nice meeting you two again.' Tayuya said.
"Did I miss anything?' Sakura asked as she landed beside Hinata.
"No, were just about to begin." Sakon said as they all draw their sword.
"Well, what the hell are you waiting for? Let's begin." Tenten said eagerly as all of them started to attack each other. Tenten blocked the sword that supposed to cut her head off.
"Whew… that was close." Tenten said as she pushed the sword near Tayuya's face.
Hinata slashed and cut Sakon's arm.
"As I expected from my opponent… You're good, but not good enough to kill me." He said as he too slashed and cut her skin.
"We'll never let you win.' Hinata said as they continue to fight.
Sakura on the other hand deal with the other two member's of the four devils.
She blocked the sword Jirobo aimed at her neck while she also block the sword of kimimaro.
"You're fast." Jirobo commented.
"I won't let you win.' Sakura said as she forcefully pushed them. Suddenly…A chuckle could be heard from her left. She looked at the man and her eyes narrowed.
"Orochimaru" She spat out as she looked at him.
"Looks like the angels were outnumbered huh." Orochimaru said.
"So what if were outnumbered?' Sakura asked as she evaded the attacks.
"Reinforcements were coming so we don't need to worry about that." Tenten yelled. Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.
"Reinforcements? This should be an interesting fight." Orochimaru said as he charge towards Sakura. She leapt backwards.
"Sakura, behind you!" Hinata yelled as she blocked the sword of her opponent.
Suddenly, a metal clashing could be heard behind her as she blocked Orochimaru's attack.
"You're not going to kill her that fast." Sakura's eyes widen in recognition.
"Ino!" The three girls yelled at the newly arrived angel.
"Sorry for the tardiness. Shika-kun was so lazy to stand up that I have to drag him by his ear." Ino said as she smiled.
"You're just in time." Tenten said as she flew up attacking Tayuya.
"Life was too troublesome. Why do I have to fight these thugs?' Shikamaru said lazily as he yawned while he kept on dodging the enemy's attacks.
Sakura just simply stand in front of Orochimaru. Her eyes were gleaming in anger.
"I won't let you harm him again." She said as she ran towards Orochimaru.
"Were not going to use those sword. I bet I could kill you by just simply my powers." Orochimaru said as he emits a dark aura surrounding his whole body. Sakura halt into a stop and looked at him.
'Damn! What should I do? I don't have those powers right now.' Sakura thought as Orochimaru laughed and transformed into a human snake.
"Sakura, use this!" Anko yelled as she tosses a little bottle to her.
"What's this?" Sakura yelled in question.
"Just drink it! I'll warp these enemies back to where they belong." Anko yelled again and open a few scrolls.
Sakura drink the contents of the bottle. After downing the drink, her aura began to pulsate. She could feel herself relax at the power that was given to her just now. Green aura surrounds her body.
"It's time to say goodbye Sa-ku-ra." Orochimaru said in a taunting voice.
"Don't be so full of yourself." Sakura said as she charge towards him. Sakura punched him with full force. Orochimaru dodge the blow but still not enough to save him from receiving cuts and gashes.
He summoned snakes and ordered them to tie her. She just leapt backwards and looked at him.
"Running away again? Kukuku… You'll end up again in the same fate." Orochmaru said. Sakura gritted her teeth in annoyance.
"I'm not running away and I told you don't be so full of yourself." Sakura yelled as she summoned a white light in her palm and run towards him. Orochimaru laughed.
"You can't kill me that way." He said as she comes nearer but suddenly disappeared in a blur. Orochimaru quickly spun around and find her. Suddenly when he turn around again he come face to face with her.
"It's your time to say goodbye and rot in hell." Sakura said. Orochimaru, still in shock looked at the hands of the woman. It was his blood.
"What… How did you…"
"Simple… You talk too much." Sakura said as she released him and walked up to Tenten and Hinata.
"You alright guys?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah were fine, how about you? Are you okay?" Tenten asked.
"Yes I'm fine." Sakura said.
"Ino and I need to go now." Shikamaru said as he held Ino.
"Thanks for everything." Sakura said. Ino and Shikamaru nodded.
"Sakura?" Their heads turned to the door. There stood Sasuke, panting hard.
"Sasuke-kun." Sakura said as a small smile graced her face. Sasuke run into her and embraced her. Sakura was startled but hugged him back nonetheless.
"You made me worry.' He said. The other angels except Shikamaru looked like they were going to cry at the scene with their hands clasped together and held to their chest with that happy look in their faces. Suddenly their face turned into horror when they saw Orochimaru behind Sasuke.
"Were not done yet." Orochimaru said as he shoot the gun. Scream filled the rooftop.
"Sakura!" all of them yelled as Anko cut off Orochimaru's head.
She shielded Sasuke by putting herself in front of him.
"You baka, why did you do that?!" Sasuke yelled as he held her close.
"I'm protecting you right?" She said as she coughed up blood.
"I remembered everything now… all about… us" she continued.
"That's good, we could start again. This time…were going to start again with no one against us." He said as he embraced her. She just smiled and tears start to fall down.
"I'll be back to where I am rightfully belong now." She said with difficulty. He shook his head.
"No, you're staying here. You're staying with me forever." He said as he kissed her lips. Suddenly, her heart where Orochimaru shoot glowed.
"My time… is almost up." She said sadly.
"You're not going to die." He said still not accepting her fate.
Her whole body starts to glow in light while the sun starts to shine.
"No, don't leave me again." He said to her.
"I won't leave you… It's just that… It's my time already." She said as her arms starts to turn into cherry blossoms, wind carrying it away.
"Please don't leave!" He yelled as he held her more closer if possible. She cried because she knows that once again, both of them will get hurt. They will lose each other again.
"Just remember this… I love you but… goodbye for now." She said as all of her body turned into cherry blossom petals and gone.
"No!" He yelled as he almost jumped at the building if Tenten didn't pull him backwards.
They pitied the Uchiha. He lost her again. This time she'll never ever come back.
"Are you sure your okay brother?" Itachi asked.
"I'm fine, I'll finish this papers then I'll give it to my… I mean I'll give it to you." Sasuke said. It's been a year since that happened.
"Okay, I guess I'll see you around." Itachi said.
"By the way… I need a new secretary." Sasuke said.
"I'll find one… again." Itachi said as he get out of his brother's office.
"Hey teme, did you miss her?" Naruto asked.
"Of course, didn't you miss Hinata too like how I missed Sakura?" sasuke asked as he drinks his coffee.
"I miss her of course. I'm just asking that's all." Naruto said.
"I think we should go back now." Sasuke said. Naruto just nodded and followed him outside.
While walking, Sasuke bumped into a woman.
"Sorry." She said as she quickly run away. Sasuke's ears perked up.
"She sounded like Sakura!" He thought as he turned on his heels and followed the woman.
"Pink hair, that running form, it's her! I can't be mistaken." He thought excitedly as he continue to run after her. When she turned into a corner, he picked up his pace and followed her but when he reached the corner, she's gone.
"Damn!" He yelled. A calling card caught his eye. It reads 'Haruno Company' He smirked.
'Maybe it's not the end after all.' He said as he go back to the Uchiha Corp.
"Where the hell have you been teme?! You have a meeting." Naruto asked. Sasuke just smiled.
"I just walked a bit." Sasuke said as a small smile graced his lips. Maybe they could still be together if she really was there.
