Hitomi stood at the edge of the gates with Tsuki and Lu, looking at Sakura and Naruto.
"So..." Tsuki started. "Sakura finally..."
"Kicked the bucket?" Lu tried to finish.
"No!"
Lu looked at Tsuki.
"Well, not yet. Sakura will die at the end of December, on New Year's Eve. It's only November fifth!"
Hitomi shook her head. "What a way to start off the New Year."
Tsuki shook her head. "No. So far it's only a cough and a light fever. She's got a long way to go."
"By the way Tsu, what's with you lately? You seem to be in denial about this entire thing." Lu asked, tilting her head to the side.
"It's not me, it's Sasuke. I didn't tell him about Sakura and Naruto yet..."
"WHAT?" Lu and Hitomi yelled in unison.
"I decided to give him a few days... Come on! He feels guilty! He doesn't need this on his conscious, too." Tsuki said.
"We better get everything settled, then. The eclipse is in a couple days, remember?" Hitomi mumbled.
"Don't remind me." Tsuki whispered.
Lu sighed. "You got a plan?"
"Maybe."
Sakura looked at Naruto.
They were in Naruto's attic, where It was, yet again, pouring rain outside.
"So... what are we going to do?" She whispered.
"Isn't it obvious? We ask Tsuki and those guys for help, and go save Hinata."
Sakura blinked.
"But... how?"
"Like this. Hey! Tsuki! Hitomi! Lu, or whoever, get over here now before I-"
"You know, you don't have to shout. I can hear you even if you whisper." A voice said.
Tsuki appeared in as a silhouette, in the same outfit she wore when Sakura last saw her.
Naruto blinked.
"Ya know, to any normal human being, this would be totally creepy and unnatural. But for some reason, I'm used to it." The blond stated stoically, shrugging his shoulders.
Tsuki rolled her eyes.
"What do you want?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"We need your help in getting Hinata back." Sakura said.
Tsuki looked down. "Sorry guys. It's out of my jurisdiction."
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
Tsuki's eyes widened in understanding.
"Oh, right, sorry. You're failing English aren't you Naruto? Well, jurisdiction means I can't do it. It's out of my hands."
Sakura giggled and Naruto glared at the sei.
"No. I mean why can't you do it?" Naruto yelled.
"It's... complicated. For starters, I can't do a single thing. I can help you get to her, but you two are gonna have to do the rest by yourself." Tsuki said, smiling sheepishly.
Naruto could've strangled Tsuki then and there. "Why though." The blond asked, his head shaking slightly.
Tsuki looked Naruto up and down.
"Naruto, did your mother drop you on your head as a baby or were you just born stupid?" Tsuki asked, sarcasm lacing her words.
"That's it!" Naruto shouted, lunging at the tenshi.
Tsuki didn't even flinch when he flew past or through her.
"How did...?" Naruto asked, picking himself up off the ground.
"You don't want to know. All it'll do is give you a headache." Tsuki said, putting her hands up.
Naruto stood up, eyeing the sei-tenshi suspiciously.
"So... are you going to answer my question or not?" Naruto asked, fully annoyed.
Tsuki sighed. ''Fine. Like I said, all I can do is get you to her place. If you want realhelp, ask a friend of mine. She's a bijuu. She doesn't really hold a side, unlike demons, she doesn't work for the Akumas, and unlike the guardians, she doesn't work for us. She's neutral."
Sakura tilted her head to the side. "Guardians?"
"They're sort of like your conscience. The only difference... They actually protect you. Unlike that annoying little voice in the back of your head telling you right from wrong." Tsuki explained, scowling. "So, anyway, you should go see her. I can take you guys to her now, if you want." The sei said.
Sakura gave a small smile. "Thank you Tsuki-oniichan. Oniichan?"
Tsuki looked at the Haruno, clearly seeing the sorrow and heartbreak in her emerald eyes. "Hai, Sakura-chan?"
"Um... I was wondering... have you seen Sasuke... you know, around?" Sakura asked, looking down.
Tsuki smiled. She really did love Sasuke. "Yes, Sakura. I have. He wanted me to tell you he said he loves you." It wasn't a complete lie. Sasuke did love her, he told her himself.
Sakura blushed. "That's... great."
"Okay, now that that's over, let's get this show on the road!'' Naruto yelled.
"You haven't changed a bit, have you Naruto?" Tsuki whispered, remembering all the times she had to babysit him when they were younger.
"Okay, let's go!" Tsuki shouted, opening up a rainbow colored portal.
"No way, uh-uh, I am NOT going in that thing!" Naruto shouted, taking a few steps back.
"Fine, if you don't want to, I geuss I'll just have to..." Tsuki trailed off as she pushed Naruto down the rainbow-colored hole.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Sakura's eyes widened when she saw the look Tsuki gave her.
Sakura put her hands up. "OK, don't say a word, I'll go." She said, following Naruto.
Tsuki smirked.
The portal took them to a grassy field covered in flowers. As many flowers as there was, only four types were growing. Daisies, Lilies, lavenders, and white roses.
Sakura closed her eyes as she stepped on to the green grass. "It's so peaceful..."
Naruto scowled as he looked around. "Where's this girl you're talking about? What's her name?" Naruto asked impatiently.
Tsuki rolled her midnight eyes. "She should be around here somewhere. Her name's Ookami Haiiro (Ookami's name means "Grey Wolf" in Japanese... At least, I think. I got this info off of two random sites.). Ookami-sama!" Tsuki shouted.
A grey wolf with a white star on it's muzzle appeared, yawning.
"What do you want, pup? I'm a little busy right now." Ookami said in a soft tone, still a little sleepy.
Tsuki raised an eyebrow. "You mean sleeping?"
Naruto looked at the two, and wondered if he was going insane. Talking animals?
"Tsuki?" Naruto asked.
"What? Oh, right! Ookami, I need your help. Do you think you could change back to your normal form?" Tsuki asked the wolf.
"Fine, fine." The wolf said, blinking. A reddish-pink light appeared around Ookami, and she transformed into a girl around eighteen. Ookami's human form had beautiful electric blue eyes and silver hair with light blue highlights that was held up in two low, braided pigtails by a red ribbon on the left, and on the right, a blue ribbon. She wore a black dress with a white trim and black and white boots.
"So, what do you need?" Ookami asked.
"You're help. Do you think you can get a... Fallen back to her Human form?"
Hinata's POV
Those stupid humans. They have absolutley no idea what's coming, do they? The eclipse... all of them will die. I just need to get rid of the pests first... Just a few more days...
"Just five more days..."
A/N: Well, here it is. I just wanted to clear something up. This is a NaruHina. I would never write a NaruSaku.
And for all you Blue Moon fans, Thank you for being so patient! I'll get another chapter up quickly.
