Naruto nodded. "Ok" he said with more of a cheerly grin on his face. He ran a few paces upwards to stand near the front of the group. He promised himself he wouldn't be the one to be all sad and thinking of Sasuke all that much, and that was what he was going to do. Though the quicker that this mission was done, the sooner he could recieve another mission, hopfully a way to get Sasuke back to the Leaf Village.

Sakura smiled and let it pass. She looked ahead and started walking faster. She couldn't wait to get out of sound. The air seemed so thick and dark. She couldn't wait to breathe the fresh air of cloud. She then turned to Kousen. "How much further do you have to go until we get out of sound?" She asked. Her feet itching to run but she fought down the urge.

"Not to much longer" Kousen said. "It should actual only be about another few minutes" he paused for a minute. "Right up there" Kousen said pointing towards a hill at least a mile from where they were. "RIght there and we're out of sound" he noted. At the moment Kousen turned his head down to Raikuro, Raikuro already looking at him. Both didn't feel right, as if something were going to happen soon.
Naruto walked forwards towards the hill. Maybe when he got out of Sound it would make him think less of Sasuke. Ethier way his head was already getting clear of him, jsut for the time being anyway.

Sakura smiled but felt like something was off. She was acustomed to the dark and gloomy forest of sound now. She did not jump at every shadow that moved along the trees. Something was not right. Amongst the thick air their was a sense of doom. She saw how Kousen looked at Raikuro. 'They can feel it too.' She thought as she turned back to face the forest up ahead. Her pace slowed and she walked with more care. She listen to the forest around them and focused on every noise. As she climbed the hill her stomach tightened and the air seemed to thicken. 'Something's here. I can feel it.' She instantly looked behind her to see if Katsuro was keeping up. He moved slow and was constantly looking around him. 'Even he feels something is not right.'
As soon as the forest parted to reveal a small grassy clearing she felt a huge weight placed on her. She stopped suddenly causing Katsuro to bump into her. She payed no attention to him as she listened carefully to the forest around her. She closed her eyes and focus her energy to finding what was causing her to feel this way.
Suddenly a flicker of chakra made her gasp and open her eyes in horror. It was strong and near. The air was tense and made it hard for her to breathe. 'We have to get out of here.' She thought. He was already upon them.

Kousen had been struck with the feeling almost the same exact time as Sakura. He kept his cool as best as he could. But it felt as though something heavy was pushing him down, a strong sense of chalkra that was nearby, that was ready to kill if intended. He didn't know if he could keep himself like this for the whole type, but he was the leader of this mission, helping out the other two and he had to keep his cool as best as he could. 'Raikuro" he muttered under his breath. Raikuro was feeling the same thing, but he knew what Kousen wanted from him, though the large tiger didn't seem to move at all, just yet anyway.
Naruto stared around him, of coarse he felt the sense flow of chalkra around him, but that didn't seem to slow him down at all. If another enemy, or anyone else. His muscles tighened at that thought, he would protect the unforgiven Katsuro if he had too.

Suddenly kunias darted towards them. Sakura's eyes widen and dodged them and ran towards Katsuro which the Kunias were headed. She took hold of him and jumped into a near by tree. She looked over to where the kunias came from. The clearing became quiet and the air became thick like fog. She jumped down carrying Katsuro with her. Suddenly a black shadow appeared in the trees above her. "Naruto!" She called looking up at the figure that attacked them.

"Sakura!" Naruto shouted out as the kunias went right at her. He was thankful that none of htem had hit her, but he himself was forced to jump backwards from some of the kunia that headed his way. Naruto stared up at the shadow figure for a moment or two. "Who are you?" he demanded He stared up at the figure, eyes narrowed.

The figure smirked. "Don't tell me Naruto you already forgotten me." He said his voice as sharp as ice. Sakura's eyes widened. "Sasuke..." She whispered. "Aa I see Sakura hasn't forgotten." He said coldly. Sakura flinched. Katusro growled. "Leave my Sakura alone!" He said angrily despite Sakura's pleas. "Yours? Why would you make a claim on a girl that you won't be able to marry in time?" He said his gaze hard. "Now hand over the thief Sakura."

Naruto eyes had widened as he saw Sasuke's face come into veiw. This whole mission turned the secound Sasuke had turned and come to this spot. "Sasuke. . . " he muttered under his breathe. His eyes shook, as widened, fists tighened. He turned his head back to Katsuro. "Theif?" he asked himself under his breath. What was Sasuke talking about. "Sakura!" Naruto shouted her name quickly to protect Katsuro, knowing that Sasuke would attack within secounds.
Kousen stared at Sasuke. They didn't have time to stand around here, with an enemy like this around, his power was great, and if they didn't hurry he would surely kill the prince. Kousen made a quick single hand sign. Within secounds Kousen turned himself in the air as he jumped, turning at an amazing rate. "Double Piercing Fang" he said as he spun straight towards Sasuke. Another enemy, Raikuro, had done the same thing as well from the trees, going with Kousen attacking Sasuke, same move at the same time.
(If you remember this attack, Kiba using it with Akamaru against Naruto and other enemies. ))

(Yeah get where you are going with this.) Sasuke disappeared as soon as Kousen was about to hit him. He reappeared in a tree to far away. As soon as he landed a small gash appeared on his shoulder. He muttered an oath and made several hands signs. It was about time he finished this for he had many other important things to do.
Sakura looked around her searching for any trace of Sasuke. "Thief? What does he mean by that?" She thought as she searched. She felt the air thicken. The sky above darkened covering the sun from view.
(I hope I'm not making him to invincible. He barely got away. Sakura's near death scene is coming up. Who do you think she should push out of the way of Sasuke's attack? I was thinking Katsuro.)

( Its fine, and choose what ever you'd like to do)
Kousen stopped as quickly as he could when Sasuke disapeared, landing on a large tree branch a few away from where he would have made impact. Raikuro landed down on the branch under Kousen.
Naruto turned his head around directly as Sasuke disapeared. A secound or two later finding him over to the distance. But as he did, it grew darker, harder to see him.

The sound of chirping echoed in the air. It filling the clearing and ringing in her ears. Blue lightning formed around Sasuke's hand. Sakura's heart stopped when she saw him charge Katsuro. The intent to kill was written on his face. Katsuro stood helplessly as Sasuke grew closer.
Sakura lunged forward and pushed Katsuro out of harms way, taking the blow that was meant for him. She felt pain shoot through her body. The force of the blow drove her backwards, across the small field. She soon collided with a tree with enough force to knock her breathless. She then hit the forest floor. Sakura tried to stand fighting the flashes of pain that went through out her body. She hissed in pain as she fell into the dirt. She felt something warm and wet trail down her skin. She turned to see a large gash on her side, blood stained her shirt as blood poured out of her body at a slow pace. 'No I will not...' She thought as she tried to stand despite the pain. "..die." She whispered as she fell to the ground. She heard the wind pick up as as he moved with unbelievable speed. Sakura felt his gaze, his cold onyx eyes piercing her back. She felt his foot on her side kicking her, sending her ruffly on her back. Her eyes shut tightly as pain flashed through her. A small scowl of pain etched on her face. She opened her eyes to see the face of her old teammate, who left her and Naruto years ago, Uchiha Sasuke. His gaze was hard and never wavering for a second. His eyes revealing nothing of his attentions. "I...c-cant't..d-die...I...I...promised...Naruto..." She whispered weakly between gasps of pain. The pain overwhelmed her but she refused to give in. "...that...I...w-wouldn't...leave...him." Sasuke looked down on her, his eyes blank and emotionless. She heard the metal of his katana slide against the scabbard. Then he brought his katana down into her heart. Sakura gave a startled gasp as she felt the cool blade enter her body, sliding through her heart. He leaned forward, his blade going deeper into her body. With his spare hand he cupped her cheek and brought her head forward. He brought his lips to her ear. Pain filled her as he twisted his katana. Sakura coughed and blood and watched it splattered against his white shirt, staining it with her own blood. He then whispered softly in her ear. When he spoke it sent shivers down her spine. His voice was soft and cold, almost like the wind, his breath tickling her skin. "Don't make promises you can't keep Sa-ku-ra." His voice was deadly soft and the sound of his voice made her tremble. He then brushed his lips with hers staining his lips with her blood. It was mocking and cruel. He smirked into her lips and pulled away and brought his lips back to her ear. He pressed his lips against her lobe and whispered cruelly in her ear. "Your foolish and weak." His grip tightened on his katana. "Your pathetic." He said pulling away. Then with great force he yanked the katana from her body letting her fall to the ground. She coughed up blood. It trickled down her chin. His hand brushing her cheek as she fell. Sakura felt unbearable pain enter her as the blade left her body. It felt like her chest was on fire. Her body hit hit the ground with a loud thud. She swore she heard he chuckle softly and say something under his breath. She watched Sasuke step over her, like she was nothing, not even there. She watched his form leave her sight. With heavy lidded eyes she gazed up at the branches of the tree above her, watching quietly as the leaves fell. She felt her heartbeat begin to slow as her life drifted away. More leaves fell from their perch, slowly descending towards where she lay in wait. The light blinded her as she stared up into the clear blue sky. Her vision slowly began to fade, and the leaves become a wall of green. Golden light filled her very being as her pain drifted away into nothing. 'I failed you Naruto...I'm sorry.' She thought as her breath became shallow and ragged. 'Why would you betray our trust...Naruto's trust...Sasuke..." She thought as a single tear fell down her face. Sakura's heart broke into pieces. Her life slowly left her and her eyes began to close. "I failed you Naruto...I'm sorry." She whispered as her eyes closed. Her life was fading fast and it would be a matter of time before she was gone forever. Never to wake again.

Naruto's eyes widened in pure terror. "Sa..ku..r..a" he croaked out. He wanted to go after Sasuke. TO kill him this time, but he was gone and Sakuira was dying in front of his eyes. Naruto ran over to her. It seemed as if it had all happened so fast, and it had, within secounds. THis battle was over, Sasuke was gone, for the time anyway. "Sakura!" Naruto shouted out as he knelt down beside her. "Sakura!" he said his voice breaking as he bent down and picked up gently. "Kousen" he said, tears running down his face.
Kousen jumped down fromt he tree tops, Raikuro coming right next to him. "Please say that there is a hospital nearby" Naruto pleaded to him. It took a moment for Kousen to respond. "Not for at least a little ways down the hills over there" He answered Naruto. "But Naruto" Kousen said, but Naruto was already gone down towards the hills to the nearest village, and or town. He needed to save Sakuira.
Losing a ninja was just another part of the world. But he knew Naruto would not leave Sakura what so ever. Their mission but be post poned for a little bit, at least a day. Once Sakura was put into the hospital they would need to hurry to get Katsuro back to him home, then see how Sakura was doing.

Sakura felt someone's arms around her. And heard voices all around her. She was fading and she knew it. Her heart was slowing down like the rest of her body. "I don't want to die." She screamed but nothing came out of her throat. She was surrounded by darkness. "Please hurry Naruto."

Naruto stared down at Sakura for a moment. He let the final tears fall out of his face as he ran. "Don't worry Sakura" he muttered under his breath. "Just hang on, please" he added to the end. He picked his head back up, nothing would stop him at this point, and nothing did. The next town was in sight. "Almost there" he muttered his breath, though it seemed as if it would take forever to get over to the hospital that he could see within the distance.
Kousen had followed behind him the whole time. Running, nothing said as if he was not even there at all. "This way Naruto" he finally said as he turned another direction, once in the town. "This way is shorter." A few of the people there stared at them but said nothing.
