This is my first fanfiction. It's a Naruto fanfiction- specifically, a Sasunaru.

This piece is rated M.

The actual Sasunaru will begin in Chapter 4, but Chapters 1, 2 and 3 are important to the story.

Please rate and review- I'll take your comments into consideration when writing my stories.

Everything was happening so fast. Sasuke had been caught in the Magic Mirror Jutsu. Gritting his teeth, he squeezed his kunai- his knuckles turning white as he did so. His breathing had become ragged as the battle had gone on. 'Where is he now' wondered Sasuke as he implored his Sharingan eye to reveal the truth of this Jutsu.

A whoosh of air behind him…

Sasuke rolled to the side just in time, receiving a large cut in his leg. 'I'll just have to fight from in here, then hope that Naruto or Sakura can help me from the…

"HEY SASUKE! I'M HERE TO RESCUE YOU!"

Sasuke wheeled around in shock, to see Naruto squatted in front of him. He was, apparently, completely oblivious to the massive blunder that he's just done.

"You IDIOT!" Sasuke nearly yelled, but caught himself just in time. Getting angry would just cloud his vision, and Sasuke needed to see what was going on.

Haku toyed with the needles in his hands, considering the situation. He looked between the raven- haired boy (who was seriously becoming a problem at this point, what with Haku's chakra depleting rapidly) and the boy with blue eyes. Naruto, was it? Haku was sad now. When he's talked to Naruto earlier, in the forest, he'd been sure that they were much alike. He still felt that bond now… could he really kill this boy?

Then Haku looked back to his past…

He was lonely…

He wanted a friend…

And his heart turned to ice- how fitting.

Jumping out from the mirror, Haku gripped his needles and dashed for Sasuke, then changed his trajectory as late as possible, hoping to confuse the boy, but the boy saw through the illusion and dashed aside. He had the Sharingan, after all.

Haku frowned behind his mask, racing to decide on his next move with his chakra running thin. He decided on Naruto and flung the needles, aiming for the boy's vital organs and his jugular vein. He was sure the needles wouldn't miss.

Naruto stood his ground, attempting to comprehend the situation. This was all to much for him. He watched as Sasuke dodged an attack that Naruto hadn't even seen, then he heard the whistle of needles flying towards him. In that moment, when he saw the needles there, he was sure he would die there.

Sasuke dodged the attack, already readying himself for the next onslaught. At least he knew where his opponent was now… not that he knew what attack would be initiated. Sasuke stepped forth, attempting to get to his opponent before further harm could be done, but Haku was faster and released the needles. They flew past Sasuke, and Sasuke knew where they were then going.

Something awakened inside Sasuke- a fire in his chest. It spread, rapidly, filling his body with undeniable emotion. His legs seemed to move on their own…

Sasuke's body was somewhere else now and he was bleeding. Naruto was behind him.

"I used to hate you, you know. You better not die." Sasuke didn't know what to say. He just crumpled, and his vision and conscience left him.

Naruto saw all of this. He was simply shocked. Sasuke was dead in front of him.

A cool feeling began to glow in his stomach. It got colder and colder, until it was nearly unbearable. He had an arctic tundra inside of him- a glacier that was crumbling. But it was spreading, and though Naruto was unaware of it, the Nine- tailed Demon Fox had awakened, and its chakra was bleeding into his own. He was lost in it. His eyes became those of the fox. And his anger took over.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
