Characters: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura
Content: Naruto rushes to find Sakura, after noticing people disappearing into thin air
Location: 225 West 57th Street
Time of day: Mid-day
Warnings: None?
Naruto tore through the streets of Manhattan to get to where Sakura was residing. He hadn't been there very long, but long enough to know his way to her place, at least. People were disappearing...he'd seen it. A few people had been walking down the street, when they just faded into nothingness before his very eyes. And hearing people sobbing and screaming all throughout the city, they must have been going on everywhere. And so Naruto's immediate first thought was, "FIND SAKURA."
It was with that urgency that he burst into the place she was staying at, heading inside, looking around. "Sakura-chan!" he yelled, loudly, in the lobby of the building, hoping that she heard him, and wasn't already gone. He didn't know what he would do if she was.

"Naruto?!"

After their last encounter...Naruto wasn't so sure that it wasn't best for Sasuke to just disappear as well. He just wanted to be able to protect Sakura, even if it was from Sasuke.

It was horrible to feel so helpless. She usually had some plan.

"What do you want to do?"

"Let's try our luck?" She put a hand on his shoulder and pulled back a bit, "We can walk on water a little of the way but not all of it...I don't have as much chakra anymore."

Her hand on his shoulder comforted him, though. He had a strange feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong.

"I guess we should go. This way is faster." She took his hand and started walking toward the sea. She was very tempted to keep hold of his hand. He might disappear any second. And there was no use running there if she needed chakra to walk across.

"I have a bad feeling about this," he said, as they started to move, his head almost feeling a little light. He figured it was just the situation making him like that, so he ignored it.

"Do you think we'll get home Naruto?"

He saw the path down to the water, and he started to walk a little faster, pulling her along with him. "Look, Sakura-chan, we're almost to the water! We can just get there and then we can get aw-"
All of a sudden, he was cut off in mid-sentence, as he completely vanished, his hand disappearing from within Sakura's, no longer pulling her along as he was just gone.

"And then we just have to..." She stood there, silently. He was gone. He had just vanished and no jutsu to save him. She'd always had nightmares Naruto would die and she would try and try to help him only to have her jutsu not be enough. But this was worse. Much worse.
"N-Naruto?" She put a hand through the space he had been in. Her hand still felt warm. She let it drop and breathed deeply, ignoring the hitch in her breath as she started to cry.
"We'll get home...Right?" She couldn't breath, run, and cry at the same time but she was going to try. She ran for the water, splashing in the shallows. Her foot landed solidly on the water's surface and she ran as fast as she could, but a hundred feet offshore, she just vanished and the water slid back into place, calm as it had been before, like she had never existed.
