勇気

      Kakashi não queria que a garota levasse tão a sério assim do jeito que tinha surgido em sua casa, tanto que ergueu as mãos pra frente do corpo pra que ela se acalmasse depois do susto que havia lhe dado. “Desculpa, desculpa, eu não queria te assustar dessa forma, pode respirar fundo.” riu totalmente sem graça, mas por sorte ela tinha se aliviado.

      “É quase isso mesmo, mas acho que ainda tenho força o suficiente pra me trazer inteiro, eu queria mesmo uma companhia pra missão de hoje.” de fato talvez precisaria da ajuda dela, não sabia o que poderia encontrar no local em que iriam. “a missão se trata mais de vigiar uma fazenda afastada da vila, alguns ladrões de aldeias vizinhas andam atacando e estão dando uma forte dor de cabeça e… acho que você tem vinte minutos pra se arrumar.” respondeu. “mas será apenas eu e você, pra não levantar tantas suspeitas.”

          ela estava tentada a contestar aquela afirmação e dizer que não era uma questão de desconfiança na força de seu antigo sensei, mas saber que ele podia ser um tanto quanto descuidado quando se tratava de si mesmo. já tinha perdido as contas de quantas vezes ele negligenciou e recusou cuidados médicos com desculpas esfarrapadas. mas além de estar cedo demais para um sermão, ela não queria que ele mudasse de ideia. 

          "i told you i'm fine already! will you please stop overreacting!!" as if being feverish & a little light-headed would be enough to bring her down. never. "now please let me get back to work, ok? or i swear i'm telling tsunade-sama you're not letting me work."

      Não demorou muito pra garota abrir a porta da sacada e claro, estar com sua roupa de dormir. Kakashi evitou o máximo que podia, ficando apenas nos olhos dela ao invés de querer mudar o rumo da sua visão. Talvez fosse nessas horas que ele quisesse abaixar um pouco da sua bandana mesmo sem ter ocorrido absolutamente nada. 

      Tinha ficado até mesmo surpreso quando escutou várias perguntas que sua antiga aluna tinha lhe feito, o que o fez apenas dar uma breve risada e mover uma das mãos como sinal de que estava tudo bem. “Não se preocupe, eu estou absolutamente bem.”

      “Eu quero apenas saber se você quer sair um pouco de Konoha, você sabe… uma missão que eu preciso de uma companheira experiente.”

          “você quase me matou do coração, kakashi-sensei...” um suspiro de alívio deixou seus lábios. sua mão repousou em seu peito & ela pôde sentir o coração batendo violentamente lá dentro. por um breve segundo, ela tinha imaginado todos os piores cenários possíveis! mortes, ferimentos graves, uma nova guerra... tudo era possível nesse mundo caótico em que viviam. no entanto, nunca esteve tão feliz por estar errada.

          “just go!” the pinkette managed to say between shaky breaths, her palms firmly pressed against her stomach right where a rogue’s katana had pierced just moments ago. despite her dangerously low chakra reserves, she was already working on healing the injury. though exactly because she had used most of it already, it was taking much longer than she would’ve liked. 

         their other teammate had lured their enemy away from her & hopefully finished them off already. now they were most likely checking the surroundings but, even if she trusted them to death, she couldn’t let shikamaru stay behind & act like her bodyguard. “please just---” her gaze rose to meet his & the intensity of his answer instantly shut her up. ‘i won’t leave you behind!’.

          “what? no, naruto. you can’t just—-” but before she could continue on & list all the reasons why he actually should not come to get her, the call was ended. “ugh, that idiot!” sakura sighed in frustration. it was so — so him to overreact about the silliest things! how did he even find out she was sick, in the first place? who was the traitor that told him? 

          there was absolutely no reason to act like he did. she was just a little feverish & light-headed but the medic was more than capable to continue working in that state. it wouldn’t be the first ( nor the last ) time. a sigh again. even if it was annoying, she couldn’t help but feel slightly warm inside. it was… kind of nice that he cared. but perhaps that was the fever talking.

there she goes, acting a fool. somehow this doesn’t annoy shikamaru as much as it should have. he’d expected this, and now…. he had a reason to use the classic shadow possession on her. his chakra control and amount had increased to about three times its original amount during their genin years…

hands come up to perform the familiar hand seals… a moment later his own shadow of moving ———— twisting and writhing ———— stretching to attach to sakura’s as she tried shutting him out.

and ———- bang. shadow possession complete.

❝ heh. ❞

FAUX SMILE SPREADS SMOOTHLY ACROSS ETERNAL FEATURES —— ALBEIT ICY.  empty threats don’t frighten him either, and this little girl certainly did not as it was. the only reason she’d beat him was thanks to chiyo… had his grandmother not been there, this girl would be a part of his collection by now. muddy-brown optics seem to gleam with some long-forgotten emotion.

a single hand lifts to attach chakra threads to her extremities. the puppet master tilts his head, deliberately slow, as he maneuvers the woman around and around the room —— a few movements of his fingers and he’s ready to have her slice her throat open with a kunai.

had she FORGOTTEN WHO HE WAS?!

❝   as i said before: i have seen wild animals more frightening than you, little girl. you seem to have forgotten who i am —– what i have accomplished, and what i am capable of —— just because you had the aid of an old hag. i have complete control over your body right now, you are at my mercy. i could make you start a fire and walk into it, i could make you jump from the highest roof, i could make you cut your throat with that kunai knife. ❞

the redhead gives a pause, contemplating the palpable DISGUST burning within those bright emeralds. after a moment he continues,  ❝   your empty threats do not frighten me, nor do you, or any of your higher officers. i see no reason to fear them. they’re all expendable. now, are you going to learn how to hold your tongue so i may teach you new and advanced medical ninjutsu, or would you prefer i force your hand with that kunai? pick. now. ❞

          the first thing that runs through her mind ( after a nasty sounding curse word ) is that they should've completely sealed away his chakra when they had the chance. what an idiotic mistake it had been to allow such a vile criminal even the slightest amount of freedom. & now she was the one paying the price for said mistake. well ---- for that & for having no real control of her temper when it came to the former akatsuki. he just knew how to get under her skin like no one else & how to rile her up to the exact point of breaking her good girl facade. sasori was beyond infuriating. she hated him. she hated his stupid smug smirk, she hated his cockiness &, most of all, she hated how powerless she was against him.

          even though it hurt her pride, he was right. if it weren't for chiyo, things would've turned out differently. would she have beaten him? the answer was painful & obvious. no, she wouldn't. she was far too weak then &, now, sakura was at his mercy again & there was nothing she could do about it. there was no one to help her. calling the anbu would be admitting defeat & that she would not do. she wouldn’t give in to that puppet bastard. 

          it had been her mistake to let her anger take the best of her but if sasori thought she'd beg, he was more than mistaken. sakura would rather be killed. emeralds filled with fury hold his gaze. "let me go." her voice is low & her tone icy when she finally speaks again, masking the very real & acute fear he induced inside her.
