Sakura's POV

I was sitting on the floor, as my back leaned against the door. I'm locked and I feel so useless right now. Its like a deja vu. I don't know what to do anymore. As far as I know, those two might be killing each other, yet here I am doing nothing. Ugh. I hate this feeling. It's more worse cruel than gender discrimination.

"...I wonder if somebody will ever help me out if here."

I mumbled and closed my eyes.

THUD.

"What the?"

"SAKURA-CHAN!!"

That voice. That hyperly irritating and ear-bleeding voice.."Naruto." I smiled and got up. He was trying to release the jutsu on the door, but the heck? How did that explained the thud sound? Oh, don't tell me he can't do it either?! Tsk. What a waste of effort. "Sakura-chan! I'm getting you out of here, so stand back!" He yelled, determination lacing his voice.

I shook my head in amusement. Well, he's Naruto. I know he can do it.. And so I hurriedly stepped back a little and within just a few seconds.

BANG!

The door came flying open, revealing a grinning Naruto Uzumaki with a thumbs up. He reminds of that Gai-sensei sometimes. "The Good Guy Pose?" I asked and he scratched the back of his head. "How'd you know?" I rolled my eyes and answered, "Its for me to know, and you to never find out." I walked next to him and hugged him tight.

"Thanks Naruto."

"Eek! Sakura-chan, I'm blushing! Haha. Anyway, c'mon! Those two are making a bloody scene now, believe it!"

I looked at him confused and asked, "Then why did you came late, huh? Ugh. This is so troublesome. Even for Temari's boyfriend." And again, he grinned and nervously laughed. "Hehe, well... I was too caught up with the drama and did slow motion? Yeah..."

Idiot.

Tsk. But he's the best idiot there is..

Naruto then dragged me out of the house where I saw kunais and shurikens lying on the grassy ground and not to mention a few blood stains here and there. "What happened?" I asked him in horror as he lead me to somewhere. "Oh, um.. Let's jusr say that Sasuke was ready for that puppet. Really ready." The way he said that, he was damn serious. Especially when it came from a guy like Naruto.

Sling!

Sling!

I soon heard metal clashing with metal as we neared our destination. I observed the surroundings and saw that we are headed towards a small hill. A pang of nostalgia struck me as blurred images played in my head. Why did I--

"Sakura-chan, look.. Just try to talk to them, okay? I'm sure to me, teme and redhed will never listen to stop, but to you, it'll be a different story." He gave me a reassuring smile and I simply nodded as an answer.

"Sure thing..."

I said before I walked closer towards the top of the hill and saw two men fighting each other with swords and other blades. I noticed that broken puppets were shattered everywhere and small craters can be found near them.

I looked up ahead and heard their battle cries and yelling of profanities at each other. I took in a deep breathe and ran closer to them.

"SASORI!! SASUKE!!"

They stopped in mid-action and turned their heads to look at me. Shock, visible on their now bruised faces. Sasuke immediately decreased the chakra that was building up in his arm. A Chidori.. I bitterly thought and glared at the two. Sasori was about to pull out his master scroll from his sleeves too.

Both looked like a mess.

Sasuke had his top shirt torn to shreds, revealing his tone chest and torso. He was practically topless! Making his cuts and wounds more visible. He was a deep cut on his arm, extending from his shoulder blade to his elbow. It was bleeding badly. On his face, was a black-eye some senbon needle cuts here and there.

While at Sasori, he looked a little more clean than the other was. His red hair that was usually messy became messier and the left sleeve of his kimono was torn. More to that, he had blood on his finger tips and a cut near his lips. Probably, Sasuke caused him less damage because he had his armored puppets to protect him. And in addition, his half-lidded eyes grew wider in a menacing way.

I heaved a long sigh and tried to compose myself... Am I the reason why they are fighting? This is nonsense.

"Sakura-chan.."

"Sakura.."

Both spoke at the same time, giving one another glares. And only then did I found the voice, "Stop it! You two idiots!! Stop this bullsh*t and just tell me what happening, please..." My voice dropped at the last part. Tears are now welling up in my eyes again. I can't stand this. I hate seeing them like this.

"Sakura, I thought I told you to stay in your room?"

I shot daggers at the Uchiha. "Yeah, you remembered telling me to stay in my room, but forgot to tell me that you two will go all street fighter at each other?! This is impossible Sasuke!" I saw him grit his teeth, before he finally relaxed.

"Look, just let me explai---"

"You're going to lie to her again, Sasuke? How low of you."

"Damn, shut your mouth, Akasuna! I'm not talking to you!"

"Like I'd be talking to a low-life 'ninja' right now." Sasori smirked, emphasizing the ninja word as if he doubts his title. Sasuke, on the other hand, again, activated his Sharingan. And based from the looks of it, he have been using it for quite some time now. Because it was literally bleeding.

"SAYS THE ONE WHO DIDN'T LIED TO HER!"

What?

Lied? Sasori.....wait, then this means? Kami, what on earth are they talking about? Sigh. If only I had my memories back, I'd have a clue on how to take this situation.
