The girl with Pink Hair

Chapter Twenty Six

I stared at the black swirling vortex. It stared down at me with all its unknowingness. The lump in my throat refused to move as I watched Sasuke follow Carver and Raiden into the beast's mouth. Sakura then turned and looked at me waiting. I slowly moved to it investinging its black swirling teeth. I looked back at Sakura taking in a deep breath and stepped through it.

I felt like I was falling. I couldn't control anything and I felt helpless. My body had hot tingles crawling all over. The tingles clawed their way under my skin as my stomach turned, my heart was in my throat. I had my eyes open; I think. I couldn't tell it was all dark, I reached out for something, anything but I felt nothing. My heart felt like it was outside my rib cage pounding in fear!

I felt like a child again, sitting on that old swing with people trying to get far away from me as they looked at me with disgust and fear in their eyes. As quickly as all these emotions hit me, they all left in a swift motion. I opened my eyes feeling warm air breathe on my face.

It was bright, we were standing on a dirt path. Thick trees were all around us, they were lush and full of deep green leaves, they almost put our trees which is what we were known for to shame. I watched as everyone slide off their jackets, scarfs and gloves. I didn't understand why until I felt the heat slip under my clothing and wrap around my body. I followed their actions quickly; it was so fucking hot! Sakura came through the portal, it evaporated behind her.

"Where are we?" I asked looking around, it quite beautiful wherever we were. Before anyone could answer my question there was a rushel in the bushes behind us. I jumped with Kakashi and Sasuke. We had no weapons to defend ourselves, why the hell did we come here so unprepared?! I looked behind me and had to do a double take. Sakura, Raiden and Carver were already walking away from us!

"Hey-Hey?" I called, "What are you guys doing?" I was confused.

"We are safe." Sakura called not looking back on us. What? I looked back and almost fell onto my face, a light bunny hopped out into the dirt path ignoring us.

"Be careful!" Raiden called over his shoulder, "It can smell fear!" He was enjoying my misery!

"Where are we?" I repeated only to be ignored again, I growled annoyed. I looked at Sakura. Something seemed off about her; her eyes were sharp and hard like stone. Her face was twisted with an emotion I couldn't place my finger on. Raiden and Carver had the same look, what was this place? Out of nowhere Sasuke grabbed his head and leaned forward, he cried out in pain.

"Sasuke!?" Igasped touching his shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"My-My head." He bit out.

"Your fine." Sakura called sounding bored.

"What did you do to me?" Sasuke called out looking a little sweaty. She stopped walking and turned,

"I gave you the coordinates to this place." She answered.

"What? Why would I want that?" Sasuke asked sounding a little snarky.

"It's the only reason she brought you with us." Carver said.

"Because your brother is buried here." Raiden said so casual and they began to walk up the dirt path.

"My...brother...?" Sasuke breathed, he looked a little sick but he quickly moved to follow the four ahead of us. I watched him feeling a little worried, he looked shaken and Sasuke never looked stirred.

After like four miles up a freaking hill we finally came to a clearing. Bright apple trees were all around us. There was a clearing on the right side, of me, overlooking the scenery I think we were on a cliff. I could hear the slight sounds of a waterfall trickling not far from us. I could hear birds singing their song freely. It was a beautiful place until I seen the crosses. They held names and a head band on every single one of them.
