Pairing: SasukexKakashi (Yaoi, Don't like, don't read)
Rated: M (For obvious reasons)
Take between Naruto Shippuuden chapter 282 and 309 in the manga. In the anime, …..I don't remember…
Chapter 2: You came, I take you
Yamato watched as Sakura's hands began to glow greenish blue as she she placed them on Naruto's chest. The young man's chest were covered by angry red-color bruises, an after effect of the Kyuubi's chakra. Sakura was putting all her effort into healing it, but…..
'It's taking too long….' Sakura thought, a look of pure concentration on her face. 'If he were healing like before, the Kyuubi's chakra would be working faster…'
'The fourth tail Jiraiya-sama spoke about…. I still can't believe what I saw…..' The former Anbu thought.
Yamato 's head turned when he heard the medic's small cry of pain. The pain seem to be coming from the wound Naruto-Kyuubi gave her earlier.
Still, she continue to heal.
"Yamato-taichou…." Came her whisper.
"The jutsu that you've used earlier to stop Naruto…. Would you..would you be willing to teach it to me?"
Yamato shook his head, narrowing his eyes as he did so. "I'm afraid I can't…" Noticing her expression, he quickly continue, "Because you see, being compatible with Shodai-sama's cells, I'm the only person in Konoha who can use it."
He smiled.
"Beside, Naruto would be fine. He'd probably be up and running soon and explode something…"
Oooooooooo
A few hours later-
He was right about the explosion-Yamato's instinct is always right, even though Kakashi-sempai always told him otherwise- but it was someone else who cause it.
Blue eyes squinted to protect themselves from the sun. A shadowy silhouette stood looking down at the mess caused by the explosion. The blue eyes blinked to clear themselves, to help themselves better see what hadn't been seen for over two and a half years. The silhouette didn't move, but continued to stare.
"Sasuke. . ." The blue-eyed boy whispered.
Dark eyes bore deep into the blue as they stood meters apart from each other. His companions stood with him amongst the rubble; one just as shocked, the other as silent as stone, emotionless.
"Naruto ka?"
Sweat had begun to form on Naruto's face. His eyes were dulled slightly from the fatigue of the battle that seemed so distant at that very moment.
"So you're here too?" Sasuke asked casually.
Nothing seemed to be wrong in his eyes. How could he not see the terrible wrongness that he helped along? The click of sandals stunted the growing silence.
"I assume Kakashi's with you, as well."
"Sorry, I'm not Kakashi-sensei." Yamato answered. "I'm here in his place. And the new Team Kakashi is taking you back to Konoha."
How could everyone be so casual with each other? The picture, the entire scene, was terrible. A quick survey was all Sasuke needed from them at the moment. Kakashi was absent, as was he. The two gaps were filled.
"Team Kakashi. . ." He wasn't sure if he should laugh.
His replacement reached up and grabbed a handle sticking out from his back. Sakura jumped and stared at him. A short blade was revealed and was held out proudly, ready to strike.
"Sai! I knew it, you're-" Sakura had spoken up at last. Anger was apparent in her face and voice.
"So he's my replacement?" Sasuke paused. "Another loser joins the ranks. He said something about wanting to protect my "bond" with Naruto."
Sakura looked briefly to Sasuke before turning back to Sai to interrogate.
"Sai, wasn't your mission to-"
"Yes, my secret mission was to assassinate Sasuke-kun." Sai interrupted. "But I don't care about my orders anymore. I want to act of my own free will. And I think Naruto-kun can help me remember. . . what it was like to feel. I think it was something very important. I don't know much about you, but there must be a reason why Naruto-kun and Sakura-san came all this way just for you! They're going all out to keep their bonds with you from being severed! I still don't understand it myself, but Sasuke-kun, you should!"
"Oh, I do." He said slowly, shutting his eyes. His eyes suddenly snapped open. "That's why I severed them!"
Naruto's and Sakura's eyes widened in surprise. Their attention was completely focused on Sasuke. He seemed so lost, deep down in the depths of his memory. Slowly, his hand clenched and unclenched next to his body. He began to tremble. His teeth ground together in anger. He was so lost, too deep in the forest of remembrance. Suddenly, he began to speak.
"I have a different "bond."" There was a pregnant pause as Sasuke looked the group over. "A bond of hatred with my brother. Other bonds merely confuse you. . . and distract you from your greatest desires and the emotions that matter."
"Then why. . .? Why didn't you. . .? Why didn't you kill me? Is this your idea of cutting off bonds, Sasuke?"
"Naruto. . ."
"The reason is simple. It's not that I couldn't cut off my bonds off with you. The idea of doing what he said in order to become more powerful made me sick."
"What are you talking about?"
"I don't owe you any explanations. All I'll say about back then. . . That day, I let you live on a whim."
Sasuke's face hardened. With a sudden movement, Sasuke was standing next to Naruto, arm across his chest and holding onto his shoulder, facing the opposite direction as Naruto.
"Come to think of it, wasn't your dream to become Hokage? You should have spent your time training instead of wasting it running around chasing me. Na, Naruto?"
"S-sasuke-kun!"
"And this time, I'm going to kill you on a whim."
Sasuke's hand wrapped around the hilt of a sword lazily laying on his belt. Slowly, the blade crept from its home and shined brilliantly in the sun. Naruto's face hardened at Sasuke's words.
"Someone who can't save even one friend isn't fit to become Hokage. Right, Sasuke?"
Sasuke's wrist twisted around. The blade followed his movements perfectly. The tip was aiming for that special spot on Naruto's back that would kill him in an instant.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screeched.
Sai moved quickly, catching Sasuke's wrist just in time to stop his attack. The stood staring at one another. Sasuke was unaffected by the 'sudden change in events.'
"That was the correct way to block my attack."
Naruto gripped Sasuke's arm before using it as leverage to swing over it out of harm's way, but remained attached to it to ground Sasuke for his teammates' attacks. Yamato got ready for his attack a few ways away.
"Yosh!"
Sasuke's eyes had changed. The normal gray of his eyes had been stained a terrifying blood red. Yamato's hand contorted as his attack was unleashed.
"Chidori Nagashi!"
Naruto and Sai were flung away from Sasuke's body. The bright blue glow of the Chidori lit up the area and destroyed Yamato's offense. Electrical currents danced beautifully around Sasuke. Sakura seized the opportunity and began to charge at Sasuke. He remained rooted to the spot. Sasuke's blade gleamed at his side. Yamato began to charge as well. With a sudden movement, Yamato was between Sakura and Sasuke with kunai in hand. Yamato held the kunai in the blade's path. There was no effect. The steel of the kunai went through the glowing blade and the blade went straight through to Yamato's shoulder. He was pinned, trapped between a rock and Sasuke's blade.
"Yamato-taichou!"
"That was the wrong way. . ."
Sasuke twisted the blade. A cringe came from Yamato. His hand unclenched and the kunai dropped from his hand.
". . . to block my attack. My Sword of Kusanagi has a unique blade. Guarding against it is impossible."
Then….
"Raikiri!"
Not one of them expected it. A net of lightning bristled passed Sasuke. The Uchiha barely able to dodge it, jumping out of the way, his sleeve slightly burn from the attack. He landed a few meters away, his Sharingan eyes narrowing at the new incomer.
"Kakashi…"
Team 7 gaped at the newly arrive jounin, who was helping Yamato. His eyes-including the infamous Sharingan, never leaving his ex-student, he ordered, "Sakura, heal Yamato."
"H-hai!"
With Sakura fussing over the injured captain, Naruto turned to his sensei. Noticing the tired bags under his eyes, he stood in front of him, whispering, "Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the hospital…"
"Well, I decided to escape and help you guys…."
"But Kakashi-sensei, you look like you haven't a rest for days!"
It was true- since that escape from the hospital, the Copy-nin had been travelling non-stop towards the Grass country, following the faint scents of his team. But he was too busy worrying about his team to even think about his condition. A soldier pill would restore his chakra temporarily, he had thought. If Kakashi haven't heard the explosion earlier, he probably would not have found them.
"Naruto… To me, my team is more important than my own life…. And Sasuke is part of the team… Even chakra depletion won't stop me from helping you to get him back…."
A look of realization passed over the blonde's feature and he smile. "Thanks Kakashi-sensei.."
Taking out a kunai, Kakashi stared at the suddenly still Uchiha. He shuddered a little when he noticed a strange heat passed through the Uchiha eyes, which was gazing into his own. Snapping out his daze that seem to suddenly overcome him, he tilted his head.
"Let's go, Naruto."
"Yosh!"
And they charged.
Kakashi had to admit, Sasuke had gotten stronger. Far stronger. It was abnormal for someone to get that level of strength and speed in just two and a half year. But his student had been training under Orochimaru, so he might have been using forbidden jutsu or been given drugs to sped up his abilities. And with someone like Kabuto working with him…
Sparks flies as kunai and sword clash. Luckily for Kakashi, he managed to block Sasuke's blade at the last second, eyes narrowed. Sasuke must be at least Anbu-level, so it was no surprise that his shadow clones are keeping Naruto and the others busy while still have enough chakra to fight the weak copy-nin.
A yelp escaped his lips when Sasuke forcefully threw him into a wall, pinning his arms to his sides. The young man's face were just a few inches from his, and the jounin could feel his hot breath hitting his ear. Shuddering at the heat, he lifted his eyes and met red-blooded eyes, its black commas rotating.
…
…
He felt sleepy all of a sudden….
Letting his head fall on Sasuke's broad shoulders, eyes closing due to the sudden drowsiness, his consciousness began leaving.
"I miss you…Kakashi…" A delicate whisper before his senses die down and everything went black.
Oooooooooo
"SENSEI!"
Naruto yelled in horror, when he caught a glimmer of white silvery hair on a certain person's shoulder. He stabbed at the Sasuke's clone, making it disappear with a puff of smoke, and screamed, "YAMATO-TAICHOU! HELP HIM!"
Yamato startled, then nodded. He crouched, making hand seals then slammed his hands onto the ground. Almost immediately, arches of wood erupted beneath from Sasuke's feet. But he jumped, the points of the woods dangerously close to the soles of his sandals. He landed back to his original position, his back turned.
"Sempai!"
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Sheathing his sword, Sasuke turned, eyes turning back to their normal colour. Kakashi's limp body was draped between his arms-like a bride would do to his newly-wed lover. His head rested against the young man's shoulder, his snowy spikes could be clearly seen next to Sasuke dark locks. Sai swear he saw the avenger smirk when the Copy-nin whimpered faintly-Although it was clearly impossible, because the Uchiha is as emotionless as he is.
Naruto barred his suddenly canine teeth, eyes slitted red. "WHAT THE HELL, BASTARD? GIVE HIM BACK!" He roared, not caring about the Kyuubi's influence over him.
"No. He's coming with me."
"Have you now?" A crackling elderly voice broke into the conversation. "I don't remember giving you permission to keep any pets, Sasuke-kun."
Orochimaru's body seemed to materialize from nowhere. His hand rested tightly on Sasuke's unoccupied shoulder.
"Beat it." Sasuke said firmly.
"Come now, you're still using foul language with Orochimaru-sama? And now you're picking up strays?" Kabuto materialized next to the Uchiha. His eyes seem to glared at the unconscious Sharingan Kakashi.
"So what if I am? He poses no threat in the least."
"What are you planning, Sas-?"
"I'm elevating my advantage." Sasuke explained, bored. "Besides, now Naruto will know what's is like to lose someone."
Silence grew in the area. Orochimaru removed his hand from Sasuke's shoulder. A small, short chuckle came from him.
"Let him do as he pleases. It doesn't compromise anything really." He paused. "Let's go."
There was a sudden roar of the sound of a fire igniting. Flames began to consume the trio as they faded away. As the flame die down, silence consumed Team 7.
"No…no..," Sakura sobbed, tears running down. First her teammate and now her sensei? (Even though it was her teammate that took his sensei..)
Sai looked blankly at the ground.
Yamato growled, a deep anger marred his features. He managed to calm down a little and spoke through clenched teeth. "Look, team. We have to go back…"
"What?" Naruto shouted, but Yamato was having none of this.
"Naruto." Yamato's voice hardened. "That's enough. I know you feel obligated to get Kakashi-sempai back, but we are powerless at the moment. If we go after them now, there's a high possibility that we will be killed. There will be no one else who will know what happened. As much as it pains all of us, we need to head back to Konoha and tell Tsunade-sama what has happened. We'll have others with us and increase our chances of bringing sempai back."
The logic couldn't be argued. Naruto's arms fell limply to his side, hand clenched tightly. But he hesitantly nodded in defeat. Yamato looked to Sai and Sakura, who only nodded in agreement. The Wood user looked at the bright blue sky.
'Don't worry Sempai. We'll get you back… I promise…'
Oooooooooo
Sasuke glared at the white haired medic, who was nosing into his business.
"What did you even want him for?" The question was asked for the umpteenth times in the last hour, and Sasuke was beginning to lose his patience.
"Haven't you ever had a pet? They're quite amusing." That had been his answer.
Sasuke tighten his grip on Kakashi, whose face was buried in his chest. A blanket covered them both, protecting their bodies from the cold. Sitting in the back of a caravan heading toward another one of Orochimaru's hideout, the cold have been unmerciful to the Sound-nin. But covered by the soft warm blanket and Sasuke's own body heat, Kakashi was contented to stay huddled in Sasuke's lap.
Having bound with chakra binds and a collar that will keep Kakashi in control incase that the Copy-nin decided to act like the feral beast he was, the jounin needed all the warmth he could get. And Sasuke was willingly to provide that to him. (Because he knew, if his ex-sensei were ever to be in Kabuto's care, the medic would kill him in an instant, order or not.)
A bump cause Kakashi's hair to sprawled out wildly that it originally was. Unable to suppress his urge, Sasuke brushed-almost tenderly, Kabuto noticed- his white snowy hair out of the peacefully masked-face.
Kabuto chuckled, muttering, "Well, well, well, looks like the ice prince have a heart after all."
He pointly ignored the Uchiha's red eyes glare.
OOOOOOOOOO
Author's Note:
Some of you may noticed, that I've copy some of the paragraph and idea from the wonderful story 'Pathway To The Heart' written by FromTheDepthsOfInsanity. In that story, Naruto was the one who being kidnapped by the big bad Uchiha.
(Cough)
So basically, you can thank her(or him) for giving me the idea for this story.
So, our lovable Yamato is having feelings for him sempai, ne?
…
Even I don't know that….
Anyway, review and I'll give you a naked picture of Kakashi!
Kakashi: … (blush and began cursing the authoress)
Sasuke: Oh, no! Don't you fucking dare! He's mine. (Grab Kakashi) Touch him and I'll send you to FUCKING HELL!
Me: O.O Geez, possessive much…
