(Naruto) Hokage's Choice IV
I started to feel something, a sort of static electricity in the air, but I ignored it for the moment. I was a little busy trying hard not to blush, cause something to make me seem even poorer/lower than I already was, and figure out why we all were in this room.
All of the guys turned to Ino, who sighed for a moment before speaking.
“Well, I suppose I should tell you what you need to do.”
You suppose?
She quickly held up her long, purple skirt (which looked silky…and comfortable…and why-can’t-I-get-one-of-those?) as she slowly sat down on the chair behind her.
I quickly scanned the room, noticing that it had two windows with colored glass covering them and light blue curtains. There was a giant desk in the center of the room, with three chairs in front of it and a chair behind it. Behind the desk were two book shelves, covered with dusty, thick books.
“Well, our darling Haruno Sakura,” she pointed at me, spitting the words out, “is to become Hokage.”
Her tone made it clear to me how much she thought that was a bad idea.
“She’ll be declared Hokage in two days.”
In two days?
“If she survives that long, that is.”

I grinned nervously as she said that. She was joking.
(I hope.)
Kiba smirked as he looked at me again, and Naruto frowned a little.
(Justajoke.Justajoke.Justafreaking-not-funnyjoke)
Lee sighed at this comment, and the air became slightly tense.
Ino spoke again.
“I think we should kill her now.”
I gasped. Already?
“Well…that would make it easier for us…” Kiba drawled.
“NO!” Lee stood in front of me, yelling out, “She is the next Hokage!”
(That was close. I was starting to worry)
(Actually, I was worried. I nearly had a seizure.)
Ino sighed a little at this. “Fine, Lee.” She looked at my savoir for a moment, before putting on an apologetic look. “Sorry.” Then she looked helplessly at him.
“Can you do me a favor?”
“What?” Lee suspiciously replied. (Good job, Lee!)
“Well…can you go get the counselors? We must inform them about the new Hokage, you know.”
(It’s a trap. She is having that smile on her face…)
Lee seemed to glow. “I knew you would agree! Fine, I shall go get them! If I can’t get them all here in a moment, I shall do handstands for two hours!” He smiled at me, blinding me for a moment, before he quickly left the room.
Leaving me alone.
With people who want to kill me.
(Yes, naivety is something every hero should have)
Ino spoke again.
“Naruto, are you fine with us killing her?”
(Thank you, Lee. I might die now.)
Naruto looked troubled for the moment, not sure if he should agree or not.
(Come on. Help the poor girl!)
“Do you want her to be Hokage?”
Naruto started to reply, “No…but…”
“What about your dream?”
His eyes widened at that. “Sorry,” he looked at me with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen. “Haruno Sakura-chan, please forgive me.”
Then the air grew tense again as Kiba, Naruto, and Ino looked at me with cold eyes. All of the friendliness I saw a moment ago disappeared
Kiba seemed to be reaching in his pockets for a weapon, when a voice spoke out,
“Don’t.”
It was from Sasuke.
“You shouldn’t kill her,” he continued in his deep voice.
(You are now Sasuke-kun)
Ino looked surprised at what he said, whining, “But…”
(Hah! Take that, princess!)
He added, “She has been seen by too many people. They will wonder where she is.”
Thanks. I think.
Ino sighed in defeat. “Fine, Sasuke-kun,” she turned to the other two boys, “We’ll just have to leave her alone for now…”
I grinned a little at this, before I noticed something odd. There were dark clouds in the air around us, and I noticed that there was some more of that static electricity I felt earlier.
Then, I saw some lightening sparks.
And it seemed to be moving through the walls….
My eyes widened a little at this sight, and I gave a soft gasp. “Hey…”
“Maybe this is a jutsu…” I thought. I paused at that. “What is a jutsu?”
The character’s mind started to fill me in. A jutsu was when chakra, energy in our body basically, was manipulated in a certain way (using hand seals) to create a desired effect.
Basically, magic. (Other information about this flooded my brain, but I didn’t want to have to try to understand it. Magic is good enough for me.)
“Hey,” I repeated, louder. “Someone is using a jutsu against you.”
Ino and Kiba turned to me. “A jutsu?” They looked around, but didn’t seem scared. Sasuke-kun raised an eyebrow, but closed his eyes after.
“Shouldn’t you,” I started to hear thunder, and made my voice a little louder, “move out of the way?”
They looked at me in surprise, and then Ino asked, “Why?”
I started to yell a little, for the thunder was deafening by now.
“YOU ARE ALL GOING TO FREAKING DIE IF YOU DO NOT MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT JUTSU!”
Naruto looked at me nervously for a moment, before moving to the side. Ino and Kiba (may-they-get-hit-and-rot-in-hell) stayed where they were. However, just when the storm was about to hit them, it vanished.
Leaving me to look like a complete idiot as Kiba started to laugh and Ino chuckled.
“Naruto, I can’t believe you believed her,” Ino gasped out, snorting a little as she kept laughing.
The boy looked a little embarrassed as he quickly moved back to them.
Great. I think I lost one of my few allies.
“Well,” Ino said, “I guess we should ignore any possible mental patients,” she looked me. (This. Means. War. Pig.), “And go find out to the garden.”
Kiba smirked at that. “Why go to the garden? We already have it in here.”
(Because we just can’t let that go)
Ino giggled, before correcting herself, “Why don’t we instead just go outside to the fresh air, at least?”
She then left the room, followed by Kiba, who leered at me for a moment before leaving. Naruto, ignoring me, was half-way through the door when he called back, “Sasuke-teme, hurry up!”
A dark shadow blurred past my face, and I realized I was alone in the room.
Well, not completely alone.
I still had my unique scent to keep me company.

A/N: I couldn’t resist putting the TBC part in. Anyways, is this a good chapter? I hope so. And it’s a double update! I’ll try to update this every other week (that should hopefully be possible. But, I have history and French. That makes me worry).
I’ve noticed I have a lot of lurkers. This chapter is dedicated to those lurkers.
