How it Happened XXXSakura looked up from her book at the sound of footsteps, wondering who could be in the park at this time of night. Hopefully it wasn't an enemy…To her relief, only Sasuke was there. He was walking across the park—towards the only path to Konoha's gates? But why? Where was he going?She set her book down on the bench and ran to catch up with him. "Wait!"Sasuke glanced behind him, and froze when he saw her coming."Sakura. You should go to bed.""Not until you tell me where you're going," she insisted. "This is the only way out of the village…"He didn't look at her. "So it is.""You're not turning traitor… are you
How it Happened XXIX Naruto didn't want to give up. This had to be a dream—it couldn't possibly end like this. Having a vampire suck his blood and claw him to death with her sharp fingernails would be a terrible way to die… Suddenly a loud burst of smoke was heard, and Naruto turned to look behind him—well, as best he could while being held in a firm vice grip—and a gasp escaped his lips. "Pervy Sage? You're… you're alive?" "Still alive and kicking." Jiraiya grinned at him before looking to Itachi and Kisame. "As you can see, you've failed… You two had a lot of nerve, thinking you could outsmart me. I don't know how you manage
How it Happened XXVIIKurenai sat by the bedside, her nerves wracked and her mind racing. Kakashi still hadn't woken up, but thankfully he was merely asleep.She still felt weakened from having her chakra drained, and her shoulders slackened. Having Itachi and Kisame show up had been unnerving enough, and more so that they were looking for Naruto—she had immediately realized Itachi was referring to him when he said "the legacy of the Fourth"—but that mysterious young woman haunted her far more than they had.The brunette may not have done much, and she may not have even been a ninja, but she had made a deep impression on Kurenai and filled her mind wit
How it Happened XXVITwo figures stood on the Konoha wall, dressed in black cloaks with red clouds, looking over at the wreckage in the village."It's been a long time since you've seen your former home," the taller one remarked. "Sure must bring back memories, doesn't it?"His partner didn't say anything, instead merely glancing briefly behind him before returning to his thoughts."Heard this was the snake's doing," the blue man continued, shifting his sword slightly. "Do you miss it?"A silence followed for a few minutes, but eventually his companion responded. "No."Turning around, he looked over the other side of the wall. "Are you coming or not?""Give
AkatsukiAkatsukiSometimes, I ask why I'm alive. I think, 'Why am I doomed to this fate'? Once I think that I'll never know, the answer hits me like a sharp knife stabbing into my back. It hurts, the truth. That's why we have eachother. A group, shunned by others. We are all outcasts, and proud of it. We don't care what you think. We care only for ourselves. As a group. We are Akatsuki.
Prison Visit"You got visitors today, Akatsuki filth." The prison guard said cool, calm contempt, eyeing the prisoner behind the bars. "Move it."The blonde man stood up silently, walking over to the bars, his long blonde hair concealing the left half of his face its fringe. A lot would think in this place that he was hiding something behind it all, but he wasn't. It was just the way his hair was."Turn around." The guard ordered, taking handcuffs from his utility belt.Deidara did without protest, though his mild scowl would've been an indication for what he was feeling at the moment. The guard cuffed his wrists, keeping his arms behind him since even
How it Happened XXVAyame looked up from the freshly made noodles she was straining and smiled brightly at the pair seated at the counter. "Pleased to see you, Shino and Hinata. May I interest you in the lunch special today? It's spicy shrimp with lime.""Thank you, but we're not ready to order just yet," said Hinata, looking down at her fingers as she poked them. "We were wondering if you had seen Naruto-kun today?"Ayame shook her head. "He hasn't been here at all today—I'm worried something might have happened to him. He usually shows up right at opening time."Zani, Akari and Takeshi glanced over from where they were sitting, looking a little more cu
