When they finally reached Sasuke, it seemed they were too late. Naruto was able to stop Gaara from attacking Sasuke, but as Yosuga landed on a branch behind his, she noticed there were marks on his body. She wondered if they were from the curse mark.
"Sakura..." Naruto started. "Tell me, Sakura..."
"What do you want!?" Sakura snapped at him. Naruto pointed to Gaara.
"Who is that!?" He exclaimed. Yosuga rolled her eyes.
"His outward appearance is different, but... That's that Gaara guy." She spoke.
"Well, I should probably let you guys know..." Pakkun said. "I'm not the fighting type."
"We could tell that just by looking at you!" Sakura answered. Sasuke let out a yell of pain.
"We need to get him out of here. Kakashi sealed his mark, right? He can do it again." Yosuga told Sakura, but didn't make a move to touch him. He yelled again. Yosuga sighed. "What did you do, you idiot."
"Let's run, everyone!" Naruto shouted before Gaara darted towards Sasuke. Sakura darted in front of Sasuke to protect him.
"Sakura!" Yosuga called as Gaara threw Sakura to a tree, wrapping his sand around her. He then turned to her. His eyes, full of murderous intent, froze her on the spot.
"You." Gaara recalled Yosuga's preliminary match. "You're the same as me." Yosuga unconsciously backed away, her fists clenching. "A killer."
"I'm not-" She cut herself off, remembering how she killed that girl. Akira. She remembered how she said herself that she was doing it to feel alive. She wanted to do it, and it was so easy. But that was her grief talking, right? That was the first person she had ever killed, she wasn't some killer. Right?
"You kill to feel alive." Gaara said, making Yosuga slowly shake her head. She didn't. She wouldn't. She wasn't a killer. That wasn't her. When she killed Akira, she wasn't herself. Takeshi had just died, and she was upset. She wasn't thinking right. She wouldn't just kill someone without purpose.
"I don't- I-" The look in Gaara's eyes made it hard for her to form a sentence. What exactly was the problem? Before, she accepted it. She was okay with killing. She didn't feel anything when she took Akira's life. She went with it. She practically disowned Kakashi as a Sensei because she had finally accepted what she was bred for. She was bred to kill. So what was the problem now?
Looking at Gaara, she realized just what being a killer meant. She couldn't have friends. She couldn't have normal human emotions. She would be alone. She didn't want that. She didn't want to be a killer.
"I'm not-"
"Yosuga!" Naruto's voice snapped her out of her thoughts just a second too late. Spikes of sand shot through her body, and she couldn't do anything about it. Something between a gasp and a scream left her mouth.
"You're like me. You who has friends, and a purpose. So I have to be the one that takes that away." Gaara's growl hardly registered in her ears. She tried swallowing the blood that threatened to clog her throat. Skewered on the sand spikes, she struggled to keep consciousness. When they retracted from her body, she fell foreword before rolling off the side of the branch she was on. Her eyes peered up at the sky as she fell. Black spots danced in her vision. When Naruto caught her, her gazed turned to him.
"You're okay." His eyes met hers as he landed on a branch. "You're okay, just stay awake." Yosuga sputtered, blood rushing from her wounds. Her face contorted into a look of pain as she fisted her hand over a hole in her stomach. Her breath hitched, never being able to get enough air in her lungs. She groaned loudly, blood spilling from her lips as she convulsed in his arms. Naruto grit his teeth as her eyes began to close.
Before he could encourage her to stay awake, a barrage of sand shot at them. Naruto moved them away before they could be hit. Landing on a higher branch, he noticed that Yosuga had already fallen unconscious. He shook her a bit, and she groaned, telling him that she was still alive. Breathing a sigh, Naruto glared up at Gaara, who chuckled menacingly.
"What's wrong?" Gaara growled. "Weren't you going to run? What are these three to you?" Naruto gently laid Yosuga down.
"T-these three are... My friends!" He yelled. "Try laying so much as another finger on them! I'll clobber you!"
Gaara tightened his hold on Sakura, making her cry in pain.
"So... What's the matter!? Weren't you gonna clobber me!?" Gaara taunted. "Hurry and come at me!" Naruto clenched his fists, darting towards him.
"Dammit!"

Currently crying cause I missed comic-conLol super short chapter whoops
When I wrote "I'll clobber you!" I came really close to putting "it's clobbering time!" Cause I'm a huge superhero nerd, but Author Notes right in the middle of the chapter kinda annoy me so I decided against it.
