Yamia:Ok, new fanfic time. But this time around, I'm taking a new approach(for me anyway), so I have no idea how good this will be. That means I can only survive and write this based on your reviews! So don't forget to review, ok? :3

Warnings:AU, yaoi, language, pretty damn long first chapter(i think so), the fact that I don't like Sakura all that much…un…

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I kinda wish I did though, cause then I'd name the show "Itachi". Then I'd make another show called "Orochimaru". XD

Oh, and this fanfic is dedicated to all those Sasuke fans who continue to stick by him even though he continually makes retarded decisions. Let's continue to stick by and support him and hope for the best.

Silent Approaching Threat

Chapter 1:The Beginning of the End

"One more thing Sasuke…"

"What is it Naruto? We have to concentrate on this mission or we'll end up dead."

"I know that! I just…be careful…alright?"

Sasuke smirked, of course the dobe would tell him to be careful when it was Naruto who should be more careful. The blonde didn't seem to know what the word "safe" meant when one of his friends was in trouble.

"Hn. Same goes for you dobe." Sasuke murmured. He felt their target getting closer, so he lowered his voice and hid himself as best he could. He closed his ear over the little transmitter on his ear, thinking Naruto's voice would flow through it and alert their enemy.

"Hmph. As if I needed-"

Sasuke cut the transmission with Naruto, not caring to hear the other boy's rant when the enemy was getting closer. He pulled two kunai out of his leg holster, murmured a quick prayer to Amaterasu, and got ready to confront the enemy. He was not going to allow anything to botch up this assassination. He jumped out of the tree he was hiding in and landed right in front of his enemy, blood red eyes locking with muddy yellow ones.

"Konoha shinobi eh? Kinda young to be out on sniping missions. Eh, moyashi?" The burly man in front of Sasuke spoke.

Sasuke ignored the quip about his height and got into a fighting position.

"Prisoner 297, Tetsunosuke Himura also known as The Divine Killer, your life ends here."

--O--

Naruto glared at the transmitter in his hand. The little bugger cut him off! He was tempted to throw the thing to the ground and end its miserable life with a kunai, but the Sandaime would kill him and take half of his pay to replace it. Dammit!

The blonde removed himself from the bush he was currently hiding out in and stretched. He had felt Sasuke's chakra spike and knew the Uchiha had found their target. He started running towards were he thought the fight was taking place. He just hoped he'd fine Sasuke in one piece. The Divine Killer was not someone you wanted to come across alone.

Naruto kept running, the sound of metal clashing against metal was getting louder and so was Naruto's worry. Now, he was all for doing things on his own, but he didn't want to do this mission alone, that's why he requested Sasuke come with him. But the idiot wanted to split up once they had come into the forest surrounding Konoha, saying "It would be more efficient this way.". Efficient his right ass cheek! This only heightened his worry even more, that was the only reason he kept bugging Sasuke over their transmitters.

"Katon! Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"

Blue eyes widened. Sasuke only used ninjutsu against other shinobi, not regular people. That was not a good sign. They needed back up, so he summoned his Shadow Clones and they raced faster to where their teammate was. Naruto really hoped Sasuke was okay.

--O--

Sasuke laughed mentally, while outwardly, he looked a mess. He was panting heavily, and he was sure his back was bleeding from when those meat cleavers grazed his back. The front of his shirt was ripped open from those weapons too, exposing ripped open wounds from a previous mission. Itachi wasn't going to be happy with him when he got back.

"You…you bastard!"

Sasuke smirked, The Divine Killer just two feet away from him, writhing in agony and third degree burns. Bastard wasn't expecting that much of a powerful jutsu now was he? The three tomoe in Sasuke's Sharingan were spinning madly after exerting such a powerful attack. Sasuke started rubbing his right eye, his vision on that side went fuzzy for a minute. He removed his hand and shook his head, his vision back to normal.

"Sasuke!"

The Uchiha turned slightly, careful of his freely bleeding wounds. It was about damn time Naruto got here.

"Dobe…where the fuck have you been?" Sasuke murmured, his back to Naruto but his smirk was still in place.

" Teme, I-! What the hell happened to you?!" Naruto yelled. He saw The Divine Killer still on the ground and ordered his clones to finish the man off. The blonde ran to Sasuke, how the hell had he got so beaten up?

"Shit happened Naruto. The bastard had two friggin' meat cleavers on him. Opened up the wounds on my chest and gave me newer ones on my back."

"Sasuke are you crazy?! I told you to give me a signal if you found that bastard! You know the Hokage told you not to fight this guy alone in your condition!" Naruto yelled, he tried to ignore the sound of bones crushing under the weight of Gamabunta. He was glad his clones decided to move somewhere else to finish off The Divine Killer.

Sasuke reached into his back pouch and pulled out some medical gauze. He sat on the floor and pulled Naruto down with him. He saw the look of disgust on his face when his frog summon crushed The Divine Killer. He took off his shirt and handed Naruto a canteen of water he had nabbed from the killer. Realization dawned on the tanned face and Naruto got to work cleaning the wounds on Sasuke's back.

"You were to far away for me to wait. And besides, these wounds won't stop me from protecting those I care about." Sasuke muttered while cleaning the wounds on his chest with another canteen. The Divine Killer was surprisingly well equipped.

Naruto blushed and didn't say anything else. Those he cared about, yeah right. Sasuke only cared about his older brother and Sakura…at least the blonde thought Sasuke cared about Sakura.

A half an hour later, Sasuke was patched up, but his eyesight was bothering him again. He tried turning off his Sharingan, but it wasn't working. He felt the tomoe in his eyes turn every ten minutes. The Uchiha didn't bother telling Naruto. The other boy wasn't an Uchiha, so he wouldn't understand. He'd just wait until he got home, and ask Itachi. But Sasuke wasn't above asking for help.

"Naruto, give me your hand."

"Hmm? Why?"

"I…I can't really see right now…" Sasuke admitted. He held out his right hand and waited for Naruto's.

Naruto tilted his head to the side a little. Sasuke…couldn't see? He saw Sasuke's outstretched hand, huffed a little, and put his own hand in Sasuke's. And now that he thought about it, Sasuke had really soft hands, like a girl's almost.

"Sasuke, what do you mean you can't see? Did you go blind or something?" Naruto asked, concern for his teammate radiating off his words. He gripped Sasuke's hand tighter and started walking, pulling Sasuke along with him. The Uchiha kept his head down, trying to watch out for anything on the ground that might trip him.

"…part of the world is covered in darkness, like its trying to swallow the light. I'm not blind, I just can't really see so good."

"D-don't worry Sasuke! We'll get back to Konoha and have Orochimaru-san look into it for you!" Naruto exclaimed, pulling Sasuke along a little faster. What Sasuke told him totally freaked him out. He didn't want his best friend going blind.

"Okay! Just…slow down dammit."

"Oh, sorry…"

Yamia:Holy crap, Orochimaru is a doctor in Konoha! Well, I did tell you guys that this would be AU. I wanna surprise you guys even more in the next chapter, but I don't think my heart could take that. XD But anyway, please review, tell me what you thought of this first chapter, and I'll have the next one up soon! Ja for now!
