Deceitful (A Naruto Fanfic)

Ch. 24: Sakura

"And that's what happened during the Chunin exams." I concluded.

Kakashi was silent for a while.

I jumped out of bed.

"Well see ya later Sensai!" I screamed as I ran to the door.

I was pushed back by an invisible force.

"Damn barrier." I muttered.

I ran torwards the window which was already blocked by Kakashi.

"Come on!" I whined.

"I'm almost perfectly fine!" I protested as Kakashi forefully tucked me back into bed.

"Sakura you are far from fine. You were just assaulted and need to be kept under watch for your safety." Kakashi said in a stern voice.

I sighed heavily and relaxed into my pillow.

I heard a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" A familiar voice called.

I jumped up, messing up the bed Kakashi just tucked me into.

"Stupid ninja always being so.." He trailed off as he saw the death glare I was giving him.

I turned to touch the door when Kakashi shook his head.

"You will be put into a genjutsu if you touch that door." He warned.

"Fine! Come in Neji!" I yelled.

Neji strode in.

When he closed the door behind him, his serious facade faded into a huge smile.

"Hey Sakura how are you feeling?" He asked as I tackled him into a bear hug.

I gritted my teeth because my anesthesia had worn off but I ignored the pain because this was worth it.

"Bored, Annoyed, Useless." I replied as I sat on the window sill.

Kakashi moved from my bedside to a chair in the corner.

He pulled out his book and I gave him a look filled with disgust.

Samantha read me a chapter from that book every time I misbehaved.

After the first time she read it aloud, I promised her I'd never be bad again. 

Seriously, those books are worthy of being crowned as nightmares on paper.

Neji and I both sat on the bed.

"Can we train a bit? Not like hard core training but just a little? I feel so insignificant right now." I pleaded.

"I do not think it would be the best thing to d-" I cut him off.

"Please? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?" I cried.

"Fine." He sighed.

Neji started off with gentle fist on my finger which made my chakra flow stop on my middle finger.

"Hey Sensei!" I called.

Kakashi looked up.

"I want to show you guys something new I learned." I declared while pricking my finger with a safety pin on my dress.

It looked like no-one changed me.

Thank God!

I didn't need the nurses to freak out discovering how many weapons I carried hidden with me or how many scars I had.

I let a drop of blood land on the bed sheet.

I curled my fingers into and awkward position so it hurt and they felt like cramping up.

More blood came out onto the bed sheet.

I finally raised my blood into the air and they read what I'd put.

"Sakura Haruno of the Haruno Clan." They both whispered.

I released the blood and massaged my knuckles.

I felt weary from just doing that! 

What? Using my blood takes up a lot of chakra!

"I didn't know you had a clan." Neji noted.

"How'd you know?" Kakashi asked in shock.

I felt sleepy when I realized Kakashi had already crossed the room and put a glowing gloved hand on my forehead.

He then did some hand-signs and I saw my vision getting blurry.

"DAMMIT KAKASHI!" I yelled as I slipped into unconciousness.

The last thing I heard was Neji's laugh.

IN THE DISTANCE

"She's really troublesome isn't she?" An unfamiliar voice whispered.

"But she's powerful, that's why our Lord wants her." Another  replied.

"Too bad your 'Lord' has to take this situation up with her clan." Someone else sneered.

"Her clan's been killed hasn't it?" One questioned.

"No. There's one left besides her. And she isn't particularily fond of the powerful one so it'll easy getting what we need."  An emotionless voice answered.

"Hai." Everyone agreed.
