To Lightningblade49: Thank you! hope you continue to read! :D
To alienvx0: Will do that! thank you for the tip! I'm actually aiming for his personality to evolve into how he was before the timeskip and a little before the massacre. He was really joyful when he was 8 years old. Thank you for the review!
To adrian12: thank you so much! hope you enjoy the story! :D
To crimson11116: Actually I had already done a sequel to revenge to redemption; Sasuke had appeared in the FF13 world. But I decided to delete it and make it a fresh later! as soon as I'm done with Devils and Valkyries XIII-2, I will head back to revenge to redemption so keep an eye out for it!
To Tsunashi777: Will do! thank you so much for the review! :D
To marze09: I hope you do! I hope you enjoy the story! :D
To KINGREADER: Sasuke's personality won't allow me to do that; he's whack in the head right now. Until I actually have him build a relationship with Erza; there;s no chance that will happen anytime soon or I'm going to stretch the introductory arc before I head into cannon. A lot of things need to be established after all.
To nopparitari: i suppose not...it's supposed to be a little darker than Itachi's. There's a lot of emotional trauma involved so if you don't enjoy the story; you are welcome not to read it anymore. There are plenty of other stories with within this crossover that are brilliantly written! :D so thank you for the review!
To 4- Sweet - Liana: ahahah :P I learnt that from 'the one who will inherit my will' lol...I really screwed up bad; that's why I wrote another story called Devils and Valkyries to understand how to meld a plot together. You won't be disappointed with this one ^_^
To Apocalypse Legionaire 117: Hahah, thank you! hope you continue to read! :D
To Canna: Hahaha, you'll just have to wait till we reach the Edolas arc. Thanks for the review! hope you continue to read! :D
To chins4tw: glad you liked it! the chapter is short cause it was jsut a small prologue that I wanted to get out..to check how ppl would react to it!
To reven228: Hahah, long time man! :D...good to see you on this story too! :D Sasuke's personality is really unstable at the moment; it's going to deteriorate a lot more before it gets better; That's where Erza comes in! :D
To mooseman3: ahah, sorry for the short chapter! I just wanted to see how everyone would react to the new story!
To HolyKnight5: Haha! how could I forget you! your tips and suggestions always helped me stay on point and allowed me to think about new plot ideas! I hope your suggestions don't die down this time! :D I'm looking forward to reading them! ^_^ ...At this point, I don't think even Sasuke would want to give his own eyes to Erza. He's really unsatble at the moment. And that's why I plan on building a relationship before addressing any of the sharingan concerns!
To LoSTWRITER2: Thank you! hope you continue to read! ^_^
To Knight'StalLion: I actually didn't ditch my last story; I was planning on continuing it. But I realized I would just be adding Itachi into cannon chapters; it'd be a bore...and his character has already been developed to a fine point. So I decided to go back to my original plot...it was always Sasuke and Erza; I just changed it to Itachi since I had made Sasuke's character a copy of his older brother's. i will update it when I have the time...many people know my updating speed. i take off every once in a while every month but I neevr abandon the stories that I have a thirst to complete. .
To Wyxlan Lonestar: Thank you! I didn't go in depth to how he ended up in Earthland, I will later when he realises he isn't in his own world anymore but the basic gist of it is that Sasuke got caught in Danzo's reverse tetragram seal. Their relationship will be a sibling one; hahah, thank you! but it might be a lil more darker than my previous story other than that; I'm sure you'll enjoy it! ^_^
To Jason Mosbey: Really?! wow thank you! :D :D I'm glad you enjoyed my stories, when I look back revenge to redemption was so long ago! I'm really grateful for your review! appreciate it! I hope you continue to read the story!
Chapter 1: False Liar
He groaned. His whole body ached...from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, He couldn't move and when he tried desperately...it hurt even more. The pain was overwhelming yet he found some sick satisfaction in it. But that satisfaction sunk when his gaze rested on the girl lying next to him. Equally weary but...greatly bloodied. And through it all; she managed to smile at him. His mind rattled in confused...what kind of person would smile when someone would torture them. Her lips drew into a thin line and Sasuke knew the girl would bleed more than she already had.
Pity..
How long had it been since he had experienced it, but now he was showing it. Her lone eye closed and her short breath's decreased slowly but steadily. He moved both his arms to his sides and tried with his might to push himself up, only to fall back down onto the puddle of his and the scarlet haired girl's blood.
"Erza!"
His eyebrows scrunched up in confusion, who was that?...who was Erza; a peculiar name; one which he had never heard off. a voice repeated the name two more times; and slowly footsteps drew his attention to the metal rugged gate that layed across from him and the girl. His right eye lifted up to gaze at the gate; slowly it opened and the same voice called out..Erza, Erza...without end and then it stopped and the sound of metal clashing against the ground hit his ears. He could see a little better now; the gate slowly opened and bare feet came into visual range. A bloodied sword lay next to the entrance of the gate. And then it ran around him and to the girl to his left.
"Erza...w-what did they do to you?" he whimpered "Get up, I'm going to fight them...for everyone's freedom!"
Fool...Sasuke didn't have the strength and if he did he would have scoffed. One thing became clear to him now; the girl's name was Erza. And the voice that had called out to her was a boy; his voice was meager yet determined. The word 'Freedom' echoed in his mind and he wondered where exactly he was. His eyes were blurry from the over use of his sharingan and it was a miracle he could even see. The light from his eyes was fading.
"W-what?..." she questioned.
He grew shocked, after all that...she was still able to speak though in panted breaths. He felt hands on his shoulders; it shook him as the boy's voice from before rattled him from his unwavering sleep "Hey...nii-san; wake up!..come on; you got to get up...I can't carry Erza out of here all by myself! I need your help"
Help...a foreign term to him; he chose to ignore it and his eyes shut. "Get up! come on! those guards are gonna come back soon and we nee-" he stopped and Sasuke knew why. Footsteps and then a cry, a scream of pain and a shout of anger.
"You little brat! you killed two of my men!"
"Get off me!" the boy shouted and quickly he was silenced by a punch to his face.
Sasuke ignored it all and then the boy was dragged out from the small rocky prison; his screams however never died down and Sasuke just wanted to fall into the darkness. "Erza! Erza!...nii-san! you got to help Erza! Please!"
And then...silence.
The fallen avenger presumed he was either dead or just knocked out. The former most likely; all he could do now was ponder and wait; he needed his strength back and that is what he intended to do...rest. His answers would come to him when the screams died down. The blood around him and his cellmate took him back to the massacre.
The bloody massacre of the cursed Uchiha clan. His older brother; nothing more than a sacrificial pawn in a long standing power struggle. They were no more and so was his brother. Used as a dog to carry out the leaf's orders. But his lips unconsciously twirled into a smirk. A part of his vengeance was fulfilled. The elder Danzo was dead...and in this realm between the living and the dead. He had to wonder...what came next?
"J-Jellal..." she whispered.
His ears perked up and his left eye opened slowly to see the small scarlet haired girl laying to his side slowly get up; struggling. He looked away...she did not have enough strength; step by step she walked forward and then with a whimper; she fell once more. Sasuke's eyelids slowly opened as a small weight appeared on his back; he could feel the cold liquid seeping through his shirt...he couldn't tell if it was tears...or blood. She didn't move and Sasuke knew she had fallen on his back. Irritation brewed in him..but he could care less. He drifted into sleep; Sleep that promised no pain. His eyes twitched; he could hear small sobs of cries on his back.
So they were tears... bloody tears of sadness.
Hours passed and he slowly felt his strength coming back to him; as his eyes opened...the weight on his back was not present anymore. And he began to wonder what had happened to the little girl. He had enough chakra now to move...and the bleeding had stopped from his eyes and his injuries. He pushed himself off the ground and dragged himself to the darker part of the asylum and placed his back against the rocky walls that surrounded him. With a small groan; he tilted his neck upwards to examine where he actually was. A prison...one of Orochimaru's? he had to wonder. Only that damn snake would have built something like this. If it was...who was it who brought him here. The rugged cell gate opened once more and a hoarse voice shouted.
"Get in there, you maggot!"
And then a small black silhouette of a child hit the ground; her cry of pain resonated within the prison and Sasuke knew who it was. The same scarlet haired girl that had pleaded him to help was grovelling on the ground before him, her body scrunched up in fear...he would guess; his eyes slowly looked up to the guard who grinned back at him.
"Oh...so our new slave is awake; is he?" the guard chuckled.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed...Slave?...he was no one's slave. He kept silent as the guard drowned himself in teases of superiority mocking the avenger.
"You should be grateful that you have both your eyes; take a look at that insect..." he motioned to the girl shivering in pain on the cold ground before him.
And Sasuke's eyes momentarily widened in surprise...and pity; A small white patch was settled on her right eye; thin white lines above and below her left eye holding the patch onto the back of her head...keeping it in place. To hide her shattered right eye.
Sasuke's eyelids half closed on itself and he looked to the guard once more; slowly his black eyes turned into red ones and then all in an instant; he caught them in pain...Not enough chakra; and his hands slowly came to his sides; he needed more time; the guard just kept up his arrogant smirk "Rest all you need too...six hours form now; you'll be working like a dog" and then he walked away from the gate leaving Sasuke to ponder on his words.
The girl, Erza slowly panted and walked towards him; his right eyebrow raised up in concern and then he watched as she seated herself next to him in the coldness of their prison. He didn't glance back at her but the same couldn't be said about her; she snuck glances at him.
Her eyes moved about examining his features; dried blood running from his right eye. His clothes were torn; as if spears were struck into him. His whole body was ragged with injuries..remnants of dust and ash adorned his skin. an eerie sense of dread covered her; as if the darkness itself was aiming to drown her. But she felt a faint sense of light from him...as if the warm light inside him was waiting to pour out of him...to shine.
"What are you looking at?..."
His voice echoed through the room; cold...rude and she looked away from him, murmuring "N-nothing..."
And just like that, their chance of conversation was cut; silence ensued between them and Erza wondered...her mind made up; her soft voice protruded forward to the older boy "D-did they hurt you too?"
Silence was her answer; and she slowly looked away from him; her gaze softened in sadness; her eyes however widened, his cold voice resonated to her "No..." her gaze fell back to him; he was just as he was before; unmoving and unrelenting looking to the gate.
"T-then how did y-you?!" she began..
"I fought someone..." he answered and Erza's mind lit up in surprise; the sides of her lips twirled upwards into a smile and her hands patted the ground "Are you a mage?!"
He blinked at her, unable to comprehend the word..Mage? what was she talking about? he shrugged it off with a simple "No..I'm not"
"Oh..." a disappointed sigh; he had to laugh...how long had it been since someone was actually disappointed in him. He clenched and opened his fist...he had enough chakra now; but not enough for a full scale assault. Her voice protruded to him once more.
"Nii-san...what's your name? I've never seen you here before..."
"'..." He didn't answer her; rather just remained in silence and looked to the gate; Erza however let otu a disappointed sigh at his silence.
Another hour of rest might restore all of his chakra and that was all he needed. The silence in the prison was suffocating; even to him. He watched as she got up and move towards the gate..she tried pushing the gate forward but to no avail. Sasuke's vision grew blurry once more...a transition from clear to blurry. He shook his head to shake it away...thankfully it went away. He looked to Erza who tried to push her way out of the gate. He let out a sigh; not one that she could hear and then stood up...slowly; he placed his right hand on the back of the wall; using it as a support...he panted; his eyes narrowed onto the gate before him.
He walked forward little by little; his footsteps resounded within the room and Erza looked back to him "Nii-san?"
He paid her no mind and then his coal black eyes narrowed onto the gate. "Stay behind me..."
She blinked "W-what are you doing?" he didn't answer rather waited for her to come behind him; and she did after a moment of tense silence; her eyes followed his right arm; he slowly lifted it and then a small blue spark of electricity resonated within it. Her eyes grew large in awe as the blue spark of electricity twisted into a fine line; and then as a sword pierced the gate. A grunt from Sasuke and then the blue line of electricity divided itself into a finite amount of branches. Sasuke's gaze reached back to Erza who stood in awe.
"Close your eyes..."
She obeyed without question; Sasuke's cold gaze then fell onto the gate; with a flick of his wrist; another surge of electricity passed through the thin line of electricity; the door exploded; a thick aura of smoke covered the area. An array of footsteps appeared before the destroyed cell gate. Cries of panic from the guards resonated within the tower.
"What happened here?!"
"An explosion!?"
"Who did this!?"
Their answer came all too swiftly, red eyes tore through the smoke and the guards quivered in fear "What?...what is that?! is that a demon?!"
The smoke slowly cleared and their eyes widened in surprise to see Sasuke standing before them; Erza was behind him hiding;
"The prisoners?! they've escaped!"
"Put them down!"
"Sound the alarm!"
A sick grin adorned Sasuke's face, his neck tilted to his right "Come on..." and then he burst forward with speed. Groans of pain; screams of hurt tore through the air; as the dust settled, Sasuke stood infront of a guard choking him by his neck "Start talking..."
"You! you'll never get awa-urrk!"
His grip over the guards neck tightened and Erza shivered; there was something wrong..she could feel it. "P-please sp-aare me..."
"Answer my questions" he stated once more; the guard nodded numbly and Sasuke proceeded to question him.
"What is this place? why are children chained here like slaves?"
The guard cowered in fear, he stuttered "T-this place is the tower of heaven...people who are f-forced to stay here are not considered as c-children or adults...they a-are nothing b-but servants of lord Z-zeref!"
Sasuke's eyes widened as the man began cackling with craze, "Yo-you won't escape...Zeref-sama won't let you! he is the embodiment of darkness! " at this the guard's eyes widened and he stopped his laughter; Sasuke's mouth twirled into a sadistic grin...and his eyes turned deathly red; and then into a six pointed star.
"Darkness?...his darkness is nothing compared to my despair" and then slowly his grip on the man tightened. Erza cowered, shivered in fear...and whispered "Nii-san...stop it.."
Sasuke didn't; slowly the chidori lit up in his right arm once more; he drew it closer and closer to the guards head; "Stop it..." she whispered again, he drew back his right arm and moved to plunge it straight into the guards head; Danzo's ghost stood before him and Sasuke enjoyed torturing him every bit.
"STOP IT!"
He shook his head and his right hand stopped; twitching...his eyes widened and he let the guard fall to the ground. The chidori faded in his arms and he looked back slowly to see Erza panting; she stumbled downwards exhausted from her outburst. This kid...he wondered and then he looked back to the fallen guard who who glanced at him in fear.
"Where is my blade?" he questioned.
"T-to the room..in the lower left side at the end of this cave..." he murmured; slowly he gazed into Sasuke's eyes "Sleep..." he commanded with his red sharingan eyes and the guard did as commanded; his head tilted to his right and his eyes closed.
He glanced back to Erza one last time and proceeded to walk away from her; into the lower left side of the cave. She called out to him once more "Wait! where are you going?!"
He didn't stop but continued to move forward; with the strength she had recovered; she ran after him; step by single step, limping. A few seconds later, Sasuke had outwalked the girl and had entered the provisions room. His gaze lingered around the room and fell onto his chokuto; it layed on the akatsuki cloak; along with the container of liquid that consisted of his brother's eyes. He walked forward and collected it; he placed the sheath of his chokuto into the rope lined cloth that was tied around his waist. He grabbed the container and then with a small poof; it disappeared and formed itself onto an armband to his left arm, the same as with the cloak.
Small panted breaths caught his attention and he turned back; Erza looked up to see him now equipped with a sword; Sasuke blinked; her face scrunched up in anger and she shouted at him
"You liar! your a mage!"
He raised an amused eyebrow at her and as he walked forward; he stopped in front of her; brought up his right hand and with two fingers poked her forehead; sending her staggering back two steps.
"I'm not..."
