Broken Petals {Sakura Haruno}

C-Mission p3

Two teams walking, Two teams talking, but who will be falling?

Naruto and Sakura were at the group, each having their blank face on as they walked forward.
Holding their weapons as they felt the strange sense of danger crawl up their spine as if a spider had come along.
The wind slowly picked up as Naruto threw a kunai to a bush, his bubbly persona on.

A snow white bunny lay there, its back pressed against the tree with a kunai lodged in the wood above its furry little head.
The bunnies doe-like eyes stared up at the blonde bow yet it could feel the dangerous aura that seeped out of the boy's skin.
The small white bunny tried to hop away yet Naruto's hands held its petite body firm in his grasp.

"Sakura-chan! Look a bunny~" Naruto hollered over to his pink haired friend who raised her eyebrow.

"Naruto? Put the bunny down you could be hurting it"
She smiled sweetly with the sharpest glare aimed at the bunny.

Kakashi and the rest stared at the interaction without heeding the hidden message, yet they kept walking.
Talking to each other as they chattered away without a care in the world.
Each person joking leaving behind the Strawberry sunshine duo.

Sakura was on her knees bent down as she patted the bunnies head.
"You are too hasty. Snow bunnies don't have white fur in the summer." Sakura tilted her head as she held the bunny close to her developing chest.

------

I can feel it, her chest is so.... soft! Why the hell did I get myself captured?! That blonde boy has a good aim although did the ninja's figure out what's happening?
The small bunny looked up towards the pink haired girl with crystal clear jade eyes.

She's beautiful....
Looking off towards some of the distanced trees he could see his special someone staring at the interaction.
How could he escape this woman's grasp? Even if he wanted to.... He couldn't help but relax in her warm arms as she walked.
She was silent when walking, glancing around the trees that surrounded them.

I'm sorry...

-------

As Sakura walked with the small bunny in her arms and Naruto to her left she hummed as she saw Naruto subtly take out his kunai's.
The duo caught up to the group as they merged within the chattering kids, making their way to Kakashi.
Looking down at the kids Kakashi eyed the Snow white rabbit with a sceptical look.

Slowly, even Kakashi prepared his weapons as he focused his senses.
The air became still as the sound of slices became closer.

"DUCK!!!!"

The group crashed onto the floor as they watched the huge cleaver lodge itself into the tree, a man faced them backwards. His cow printed leg warmers were clearly visible.
The bunny had darted away and dived into the bushes as Sakura sighed.
She was still standing as she tied her hair up, helping Naruto up she patted his shoulders as she folded her arms.
"Long time no see Zabuza-San." She chirped making Kakashi's eyes go wide.

"How do you know who he is? Long time no see?!" Kakashi hollered towards Sakura making her glance back at him with a dead gaze.

"How can I forget the man my father's best mate was?" She scoffed a bit as she tapped her fingers against her sweater.  The poison had long ago seeped out as she unwrapped the bandages to show the cut.

"A-ah Sakura-chan.... " Hinata looked down to the ground, her pale eyes were wide as she held herself to stop herself from shaking.
She was afraid and she couldn't stop herself, the man in front of her oozed out a bloodthirsty instinct although not directly aimed at her, she still shook.

Kurenai had a blank face as she folded her arms, kunai hidden within her sleeves as her bloody red eyes glared at the assassin in front of her.
"S-Class rogue nin from Kiri. Zabuza Momochi."
She quoted from the bounty book of the month.

Sakura nodded as her pink bangs softly swayed within the wind. "Zabuza-San.... I'll  assume you are here for the bridge builder?" Her voice echoed slightly with a chime as she tilted her head, her fingers curled into a hand sign.

Nodding his head the great rogue hopped off his human cleaver as he grabbed it with one hand, his muscles slightly rippling as he hoisted it up.
"And then there's Kakashi Hatake... the great copy nin of Konohagakure."
Zabuza's raspy voice echoed within the gathering mist that seemed to envelope the teams within its porcelain folds.

Everyone was suddenly on a edge as the echoing voice resounded around them, the teens took out their kunai yet somehow, Sakura and Naruto had vanished.
The colourful duo had slipped away unnoticed by their teams as Sakura placed her delicate hand on a tree.

"Well this is troublesome.... isn't it Naruto?"

"It is.... I wonder what do we do about this Sakura?"

"Ah.... Shall we just watch and see what happens?"

"...."

"Naruto...?"

Blinking the blonde boy; no, man look at her with soft adoring eyes that slowly made her melt.
The walls she had contained around her heart were slowly crumbling. But not just for anybody, it seemed she had developed a small flamed of hope and dare she say it was love she could feel.

Avoiding his gaze she scolded herself in her head, he was her friend and that was it. It was no use getting her feelings entangled with her life. She was a murderer and a ninja, she wasn't supposed to feel. She crossed her arms as she watched the mist roll in and the team started to fight the rogue nin.
Outnumbering the ninja was a smart move but only the jounin's were fighting with a fierce intent to kill Zabuza.

Sakura narrowed her eyes as she twirled her kunai and scowled, pink hair swept into a tight bun as she pulled her hood up glaring at Kakashi, hoping he would feel her smouldering glare.
They can't beat Zabuza...
Her dark whispers echoed cruelly in her mind as her eye twitched.

Naruto held her injured hand gently, his warmth jolted her back to reality. Away from the dark chains that ensnared her mind. Blinking up at him she just smiled softly as she leaned closer to him. Aiming a spiked kunai filled with paralysis poison.
She held it and closed one eye then with a flick of her wrist she sent it flying into.

Zabuza's

Shoulder.

Hearing his grunt of pain her senses sharpened as she closed her eyes, muttering a soft apology to her father she and Naruto jumped down to only see that a "Hunter" nin from Kiri already at the limp form of the rogue nin.
