Hey guys! Woo second chapter, hope I did a good job on it, and I REALLY REALLY will try uberly hard to complete this FULLY, so I would love a well rounded review. xD

Scroll 2

The air was musty and the lack of natural lighting was pitiful, but I paid no heed to those factors. I just stared ahead, walking slightly behind the Uchiha prodigy, going to Orochimaru's lair to receive our mission. 'My first mission……with this freak' I thought with a smirk. Just as my thought ended, we got to his office.

"You may come in," his snake-like voice crept out from the door. We silently walked in as told.

"What do you want?" Uchiha asked rudely. Orochimaru just chuckled. He gave him everything he wanted, for Uchiha had so easily given up his body for him.

"Impatient as always, I see," Orochimaru gave an unpleasant smirk. Sasuke just narrowed his eyes dangerously at his sensei while letting him continue, "It's a simple mission, really."

"We don't have all day, Orochimaru-sama," I added in a sickly sweet voice.

"Very well, Katsumi-kun," He added with the same about of sickness, "You must get a scroll from Iwagakure."

"What kind of scroll?" the Uchiha inquired.

"It's just a simple jutsu that I'm missing from my scroll collecting. Rock Tomb, as I recall."

"When do we leave?"

"Anytime."

"We'll be leaving now."

"Very well then Sasuke-kun………."

The fresh air felt needed after being cooped up in that dingy snake hole for a long time. I walked into the grass and slowly took a big breathe of air.

"Are you just gonna breath, or are we going?" the Uchiha heir asked, irritated. I narrowed my eyes in a menacing way and simply ignored him. If you don't feel like their question is one of importance, simply ignore them; my rule of communication.

The Uchiha didn't wait for an answer and walk right ahead, making me feel inferior. Neither of us talked, since we were both rather unsocial. I twirled my kunai as I walked and Sasuke just stared straight ahead with his usual nonchalant expression.

After hours of walking and only a few words said, we reached Iwa. To be more precise, the gates to Iwa, but were stopped by guards.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A guard questioned.

"That's to be kept confidential," I replied skillfully. The guard growled.

"If you don't answer, we'll hurt you," The female guard retorted, blushing madly. Sasuke looked at me and nodded. No need for words, I already knew what he was thinking of. And after a short day with him!

"I don't like your attitude," He replied with a dead-pan expression. We took out our weapons and quickly (as well as quietly) slit the guard's throats and walked right in.

Once we got in, we immediately disguised ourselves using a transformation jutsu. Sasuke took on the looks of the male guard and I became the other guard.

"So, what do we do?" I questioned him with no actual tone, except boredom.

"We just go to the library and take the scroll,"

"And if anyone gets in our way?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Don't kill if it isn't necessary," He answered coldly. I was a bit shocked, but didn't show it. 'Sasuke………does he not enjoy hurting people?'

"Hypocrite," I smirked, "you killed the guards."

"That was necessary. Otherwise, they would warn the people."

"Hmph."

That being said, we headed out to the library and did exactly what was discussed. Much to the Uchiha's dismay, I murdered one person that was pissing me off.

We walked our way to a hotel, since we were both tired from the long walk. The hotel was classy, I can tell you that, and would require much money.

"Excuse me," I smiled a fake smile at the lady behind the counter, "me and my friend would like a room please." The lady smiled back at me.

"The only room left is the one with a single bed, only 400 yen per night," She winked, as if trying to indicate something, "I'm sure you and your 'friend' wouldn't mind, yes?" She said friend quite sarcastically. I looked slightly shocked and tried to act as if I was completely shocked and embarrassed she said that.

"U-u-umm, t-t-that's not what i-i-I meant by f-f-friend!" I "blushed" and "stuttered", "U-u-um—"

"We'll take it," Uchiha interrupted my perfect act impatiently. The lady behind the counter smiled and gave us the keys while saying something along the lines of 'have fun' and something else I couldn't recall. When we were out of her sight, I shot a murderous glare at Sasuke.

"What was that for? Don't you realize that we only have ONE bed?!" I whispered harshly.

"I'll sleep on the floor," he simply replied. I huffed and turned away.

The rest of the way to the room was nothing but silence, which I didn't mind. As a matter of fact, I liked this better than listening to Uchiha's smart-ass comments.

The Uchiha unlocked the door and simply turned on the lights and walked in, and I followed, once again, feeling inferior. He placed the scroll on the bedside table and laid on the bed, facing away from me.

"I thought you were sleeping on the floor," I raised an eyebrow.

"Changed my mind," He replied arrogantly, though not showing any emotion. I muttered 'bastard' under my breathe and laid down on the bed.

We were as far away as we could be without falling off the bed, which was not very comfortable.

"Why did you leave Konoha?" Uchiha suddenly asked.

"Same reason as you—power," I turned to face him, but was still very far away.

"Hn," he closed his eyes.

"Listen, if you're gonna be my partner, I need to know more about you," I whispered harshly. He opened one eye, as if checking if I were ok or not.

"Hn, forget it," I was turned around and faced the wall.

"What do you want to know?" Uchiha asked monotonously (after what? 5 minutes?)

"You're fighting technique, so I can work with it in battle," I answered matter-of-factly.

And so, he spent half an hour talking (reluctantly, might I add) about his chidori and his katana.

"My turn to ask you a question," he said nonchalantly as I looked at him curiously, "What's your true purpose to join Orochimaru?" I was taken back that he actually noticed something and I blinked a few times with a bit of shock on my face. He smirked, knowing that he hit something.

"It's not your place to know," I glared dangerously at him.

"It's for the Akatsuki, isn't it?" he asked, simply ignoring me and staring at the roof.

"And if I don't answer….?"

"Doesn't matter; I already know."

"How?" I demanded harsher than I thought I would.

"The Akatsuki gave you power"

"So?"

"You're like their princess."

"And?"

"Hn"

'Seems like he has nothing else to say' I smirked at the thought.

"Does Orochimaru know?" I asked, fearing that our plan would go wrong.

"No."

"Goodnight," I said, satisfied that Orochimaru was clueless.

My eyes fluttered open and found a pair of arms around my waist. I quickly stifled a sleep and looked to find the Uchiha, peacefully asleep, with his arms wrapped possessively around me. 'He looks so peaceful….' I also noted that he looked adorable, in a childish way. Suddenly, his eyes opened and shot me a menacing glare. He immediately let go of me, causing me to roll off the bed.

"What was that for?!" I growled. He simply ignored me, but there was a slight tint of pink on his cheeks.

"We're heading out," he commanded as if nothing had happened.

"Tch," I scoffed and ran out the door. As I walked out of the hotel, I flashed the lady a "smile", trying to maintain my happy-go-lucky character. As soon as she could no longer see use, I sighed and Uchiha looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Smiling takes too much effort," I explained as though he were asking a question (which he clearly was not)

The rest of the trip back to the snake hole was nothing but utter silence and occasional glares.

When we reached the entrance to the hideout hidden in the forest, we quickly slipped in and headed towards Orochimaru's room.

We walked in without any show of respect and took out the scroll.

"Very well," Orochimaru chuckled, "You may go now, Katsumi, but Sasuke, you stay."

"Hn," I replied with a tint of boredom and annoyance.

"What for?" The Uchiha asked rudely.

I returned to my—our—room and went into the bathroom. 'I wonder what he's going to tell Uchiha……' I quietly pondered about the possibilities as I took a warm, relaxing shower.

When I came out, with my clothing on, Uchiha was on the bed, studying a scroll of some sort.

"What did he want you for?" I asked in a non-curious tone. He just glared at me and kept staring at the scroll with a dead-pan expression.

I decided to not press this topic on any further and silently slipped into my bed, immediately falling asleep, only to be interrupted by a dream.

A small girl about the age of 6 sat quietly on the swings outside of the academy. Her hair was raven black and her eyes were purple.

Bored of just sitting, she walked over to the sushi shop to get some lunch. As soon as she walks in, the whole room stares at her.

"Isn't that her?"

"Yeah, the Kurayami."

"Heard she's dangerous."

"With those freaky eyes, too."

"Agreed. I bet her parents, as well as their whole clan died because of her powers."

"If I were her parents, I would have just dumped her."

"Same; you better warn your children not to talk to her; they might die if she gets mad."

How was that?

GOOD?

BAD?

Yeeeeeeeeeees?

Nooooooooooo?

I won't know unless you write a review! Now, unless you want to hear my rant, I think you can stop reading now.

RANT STARTS:

I hate it how some SasukexOC fanfictions are just like this:

A mary-sue girl is in Konoha and she doesn't like Sasuke, making him fall heads over heels for her (OOC much?) Then, she joins team 7, which CANT CANT CANT happen, since it's a three man team. Then, she and Sasuke end up falling madly in love and the whole female population hates her, but the guys are jealous of Sasuke. Then, Sasuke leaves for Oro-what's-his-face and she becomes heartbroken, but Sasuke promises to come back……….

Then in the sequel, Sasuke either comes back to Konoha, or the girl ends up finding him and yet again, they fall blindly in love.

I also don't understand why people make the love the OC and Sasuke has so deep and intense in the post Shippuden stories. COME ON! THEY'RE 12! Plus, most guys haven't been through puberty at 12, so you get the picture. Plus, I'm 14 and even people my age don't fall in love like that o.o' Maybe we're just loners………..OK, BACK TO MY RANT! Well, actually, that was the end of it -.-'

Oh, actually, it's not. I also don't really like it when they put the Naruto crew into high school and Sasuke is sooooo super flirty and VERY OOC. But I'd rather read that than a mary-sue retell of Naruto xD

END OF RANT

Well, hoped you enjoyed this chapter
