HELLO! Okay, next chapter up! I'm going to do one a day, so I can hurry up and finish it! ^_^ Sorry for keeping you all waiting until I retook this story! Anyway, here's the second chapter.
"It can't be true! I don't believe it!" a girl says while sobbing almost uncontrollably.
"Yeah, why would you go do a thing like that?" another asks.
"I simply can't bear it!" yet another voice asks.
"Oh, Orochimaru, say it isn't so!" the first voice pleads.
"It's so." The three figures at his feet all burst into tears.
"Oh,, don't worry my little followers, I'm just getting married. Don't tell me a little thing like that's going to change your feelings for me?" Orochimaru asks his 'sound ninja's. Yes, this so happens.
"Oh no, no, never!" they cry in unison.
"And we'll still have our little rendezvous, right?" he asks, making Kabuto pout all semi-cutely (he can't be cute), even though Orochimaru's referring to beating his masochistic followers.
"Oh yes, of course!" they shout.
"Good, not if we're going to have a wedding, I guess I'd better propose to the bride!" Orochimaru says as he makes his way to Sasuke's house and knocks on the door as the sound ninjas run off crying.
"Orochimaru, what the hell are you doing here?" Sasuke asks as he opens the door, a death glare fixed upon his face.
"I've come to ask you to marry me my bel-" SLAM! Sasuke shuts the door right on his face, literally, giving the snake bastard a bloody nose! "Ah, I see this is a bad time. Fret not; I'll be back for you!"
"…creepy," Sasuke says to himself as he goes to find more locks to put on the doors and windows. He then begins thinking that this place just isn't for him, that maybe he should just pack up and leave. At least he'd be away from that child-molester Orochimaru. Deciding that's the right choice, he packs a few of his belongings: clothes, food, and a necklace given to him by his mother. He leaves a note for his brother, wherever that guy is, simply stating:
I left home.
-Sasuke
Short, sweet, and to the point. He grabs his small suitcase and sets out on his journey to who-knows-where.
Meanwhile, at the castle:
"That guy was such a creep!" Kiba exclaims to a lazy Shikamaru.
"Yeah, but if the master doesn't break the spell, we'll all stay like this forever," Shikamaru points out.
"Yeah, but he could never love a guy like that."
"True, but he's the only visitor we've had in these past 11 months. We only have 4 more moths before the curse is permanent."
"Oh, right. Damn, what kind of spell only gives its victims 15 months to break it?!" Kiba cries.
"Uh, a generous one, she could've made it permanent from the start, idiot."
"Oh…right."
Meanwhile, outside of the castle:
During Sasuke's great trek, he comes upon the giant castle and, seeing as is looks abandoned, decides to live there. He squeezes through the gate and makes his way to the front door to be stopped by an unseen person yelling at him.
"Leave this place or face utter doom!" an angry sounding voice shouts. Sasuke looks around to find the source until his eyes land on the doorknob…it has a face, well, glaring eyes anyway.
"Uh…"
"I WILL DEFEAT YOU!" it shouts before spitting sand out of its keyhole. "I am Gaara! No one can defeat me!" Sasuke ignores the doorknob and grabs…'Gaara', and opens the door. "Hey, let go of me!"
"Sure, whatever you say," Sasuke says and lets go, seeing as the door is already open anyway, and enters the castle.
"GET BACK HERE! I WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Sasuke just keeping walking, wondering what kind of castle has talking doorknobs. He makes his way through the main floor before making his way down into the basement, which happens to contain the dungeon. He is very surprised to find his brother there.
"SASUKE!" Itachi cries as he waves his little brother over.
"What did you do?" Sasuke asks flatly.
"Oh, Sasuke, I'm hurt that you think that'd I deserve this, even after you came all this way to find me!"
"One: I didn't come here to find you, I moved out, and two: this place is barely a mile away from the village."
"Oh, right, anyway, help me!" Before waiting for an answer, Itachi grabs Sasuke and somehow switches places with him, making him free and Sasuke inside the prison cell. "Thank!" he calls as he runs away and out of the castle.
"What the fuck? HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!"
"Hello?" a small voice calls into the dark.
"Who's there?" Sasuke asks. "Who are you?"
"I'm the master of this castle."
"Then you put my brother in here."
"You mean he escaped?!" the voice asks in a panic before shut himself inside the cell. Sasuke's eyes widen as he sees the person in the dim light from inside the cell. The master of this castle has sunny-blond hair, sun-kissed skin, and adorable fuzzy fox ears and a tail!
"Don't worry, I think he left," Sasuke says and Naruto turns to view this new visitor, showing his beautiful sky blue eyes.
"You're not like him are you?" Naruto asks, panic very evident in his voice, then begins freaking out and shaking the jail bars. "Oh no, I'm locked in! NO! I'M TRAPPED WITH A PEDOPHILE!"
"Calm down, I'm not a pedophile, not that I'm old enough to be anyway. I'm just the pedo's little brother."
"Oh…HELP! I'M TRAPPED WITH THE PEDO'S LITTLE BROTHER!"
"Will you shut up?" Sasuke sighs and stands up. "Isn't there anyone else with you here?" he asks.
"Yeah, but I don't know if they can hear us down here without me yelling."
"Don't you have a key?"
…
"Oh, right." Sasuke smacks his forehead in Naruto's stupidity as the blond boy fumbles to find his key. "By the way, my name's Naruto."
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke."
"Nice to meet you, Sasuke." Naruto looks at the black-haired emo-looking boy beside him and smiles, then holds out his hand.
"Nice to meet you, too," Sasuke says as he takes the blonde's hand and shakes it. Then is when Naruto decides that he likes Sasuke's midnight black eyes, making the blond smile even more. "Hey, hurry up with that key, dobe, it's cold down here."
"Oh, shut up, teme," Naruto says back while still grinning as he resumes his search for the key. "Ah! Here it is!" He opens the gate and the two leave, returning to the upstairs. "So, what are you doing in my castle anyway?"
"Psst, Shikamaru, look!" Kiba whispers. "The master's talking to someone!"
"Probably just that perv!"
"No, no, it's someone different! It looks like a relative of the pervert, though." Shikamaru looks down from their hiding spot at the top of the stairs to see that, yes, in fact Naruto is talking to someone.
"I was looking for a place to live, actually," Sasuke explains.
"Oh, well, you're welcome to stay here with us if you'd like! That is, if you don't mind living with a bunch of talking objects and a monster," Naruto says.
"There's a monster here?"
"Well, yeah…"
"Where?"
"Um, right here, I'm the monster," Naruto says, unsure if Sasuke is just teasing him. He looks at the raven with his confused eyes.
"Naruto, monsters are scary. You're just a boy with fox ears and a tail. You're not scary," Sasuke explains.
"Hey, I can be scary!"
"Sure, whatever," Sasuke says, making Naruto pout cutely, (see, Naruto is the cute one). "All right, all right, I believe you."
"The master's made friends with a human! Maybe he's the one who'll break this curse!" Kiba whispers excitedly as Naruto leads Sasuke to his new bedroom.
