Rose: *yawns*

Sakon: Tired?

Rose: No, I'm yawning for the pure amusement of it

Sakon: You're starting to sound as sarcastic as Rein

Rose: I created her, she's like me. Not the other way around

Sakon: Ri- What the hell?! I was talking!

Rose: *fast asleep*

Sakon: *sigh* Rose doesn't own Naruto, only Ocs and some of the plot


After three rounds of poker, I won all three, it was the middle of the night when I felt Sasuke's Chakra approaching. I stood up as the other knelt down.

"Welcome Sasuke, the moment you left this Village is the same moment you became our new leader," Sakon said.

"I'm not part of the Sound Four so I'm not gonna bow to you," I stated.

"I don't care let's go," Sasuke said, and we all left.

We stopped for a minute, and Sakon explained that to get to the second state of the Curse Mark Sasuke would have to die. Man I hate explanations, although Sasuke agreed to take the pill to awaken the Curse Mark level 2, after all he'll only be half dead for a while.

The Sound Four will cast a barrier Ninjutsu to lessen the affect of the transformation, just like they did for me. Unconsciously I touched the Curse Mark on the back of my left shouder.

The pill took effect immediately and Sakon summoned a barrel and Jirobo put Sasuke inside it. They got into positions and used the sealing Jutsu. Jirobo carried the barrel and we began walking back to the Sound Village.

My sensory skills alerted me to the Ninja that found us.

"Great we've got company," Sakon said.

"Yeah, there's two of them," I said.

"Get ready," Kidomaru shouted.

They came from behind and we all jumped out of the way but they landed in front of us. Everyone but me activated their Curse Marks. Needless to say a fight broke out I sat back with the barrel and watched. The Sound Four won and Jirobo picked up the barrel and we left once again.

I only fight if it is really necessary, which it rarely is.

We stopped for a quick rest, after we laid a bunch of booby-traps. Kidomaru looked like he felt something from one of his webs he looked at me and I nodded. I closed my eyes, 1… 2… 3… 4… four, no, five Chakra Signatures. I held up five fingers, everyone nodded, and prepared themselves without actually moving.

Quickly Sakon threw a kunai, with three paper bombs attached, at two of the Chakra Signatures. The bombs exploded and the two kids that were hiding there landed in front of us, they were both boys both somewhere around my age. One of them was from the Hyuga Clan, I could tell by his white eyes, he had the Byakugan.

The other one I didn't know, although judging by his vest he must have been at least a Chunin level ninja. Kidomaru used his spider threads to drag the other three ninja, all boys I might add, and I recognized one of them, the blond named Naruto, I had seen him in Kabuto's cards once, and he was also the one fighting Sasuke earlier.

One of the others was a chubby kid, and the third one was a boy with a dog, I knew he was from the Inuzuka Clan because of the red marks on his face plus the dog was a give away.

Dog boy threw a smoke bomb and it exploded in a purple puff of smoke. The kid in the vest used a shadow possession Jutsu and caught everyone but me. When dog boy threw his smoke bomb I took the opportunity to sneak off behind some trees, and now I was behind the group of kids.

"You missed me," I said bluntly, the all turned shocked.

"Good now break this stupid Jutsu," Sakon demanded.

"If it's so stupid then how did you get caught?" I questioned.

"That doesn't matter just break the Jutsu," Kidomaru said, and I sighed.

Then I noticed something; Sakon was missing a head, so that meant Ukon was out. I ducked as three shuriken flew and broke the Chunin's concentration.

"Ukon! You could have hit me!" I shouted at the trees.

"Earth Style: Barrier Earth Dome Prison," Jirobo slammed his hands onto the ground and the rocks below the enemy surround them. We left Jirobo behind and continued on our way after telling him to catch up when he's done.

Something felt strange, although I couldn't put my finger on it. Oh well, we'll just continue on our way for now. I felt a strong surge, but once again I couldn't tell what it was from.

Jirobo came up from below a tree branch and he basically apologized for being late. We all knew something was wrong when Tayuya insulted him and he didn't fight back, plus his Chakra Signature was way different than Jirobo's. The second we stopped I delivered a roundhouse kick to Jirobo's gut. Kidomaru gave Sasuke to me and I gave him to Tayuya, I was so not gonna carry him.

"You three go on ahead let me deal with this guy. I'll catch up," Kidomaru said, the three of us turned and left once again.

We continued leaping from tree to tree as Sakon and Tayuya talked about what was keeping Kidomaru so long.

The sun was now beginning to set and there was still no sign of Jirobo or Kidomaru. But still we kept going through the night and now the sun was rising, man this is so tiring.

We stopped for a moment and turned around, it was that blond kid Naruto and his two friends the Inuzuka Clan kid, and the shadow possession kid. Sakon attacked saying he could handle these guys. When the dog boy missed Sakon on purpose and went for Tayuya, I grabbed Sasuke and jumped back. Before Tayuya could join me she was caught in the shadow possession technique. Sakon hit Tayuya on accident and now the three brats were coming for me, oh joy.

I was about to move when I noticed I was caught in the shadow possession Jutsu, damn. They took the Barrel and began going back to their Village. Sakon activated his Curse Mark and went after them, meanwhile I felt another Chakra Signature not to far away, I knew the Chakra, and let's just say we need to get that barrel back before he gets here.

There were some explosions, I guess those kids must have set some traps. Sakon and the dog boy disappeared in the last explosion, and Tayuya and I took that chance to grab Sasuke. Tayuya and I stopped just a little ways away from the two kids, and looked up at some branches.

Kimimaro was standing there, I took advantage of the distraction and I grabbed the barrel, the 'me' beside Tayuya vanished, that Naruto kid isn't the only one who can use Shadow Clones. I jumped up next to Kimimaro. Naruto jumped at us, but Tayuya got there first and she punched him in the face. Kimimaro and I left leaving Tayuya behind, although somehow I got stuck with the job of carrying Sasuke.

"That blond kid is following us," I told Kimimaro, although I don't think he cared.

That blond kid, I knew he was following us but his Chakra was rapidly increasing. We stopped briefly in an open field, and that Naruto kid caught up with us. I turned around and I noticed his eyes had completely changed, they were a blazing red, and those eyes, and well, they actually scared me.

"Rein, I'm trusting you to take this vessel to Lord Orochimaru," Kimimaro said bluntly.

"Y-yeah," I stuttered a bit, then I picked up Sasuke's barrel and left.

The barrel shook and it was getting hot so I stopped. It was emitting a dark smoke, my guess he would pop out soon. The seals on the barrel ripped, I jumped behind the tree just as the barrel exploded. Pieces of the barrel scattered and when I walked out from behind the tree I saw Sasuke standing there. His hair was longer and it was a dusk blue color, not to mention his skin tone was darker. His hair went back to normal and so did his skin after the Curse Mark receded. He looked at his hands for a while then he started laughing, and it wasn't a happy laugh, it was creepy.

"Don't start going all power crazed on me," I said to him, and he finally noticed I was there.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me," I said and Sasuke turned to me, "Does your blonde friend ever give up?" I asked.

He shook his head, "Why do you ask?"

"He's following us, and it's really starting to piss me off."

I began jumping from branch to branch, and Sasuke followed.

That Naruto kid was close behind, but not to close. He kept shouting Sasuke's name and it was getting annoying real fast. Also Naruto was gaining on us, and Sasuke was doing that creepy laugh again. Great is he going to turn into another crazed psycho? Oh well I get it, he wants power for revenge... just like me.

We jumped out of the trees and ran out of the forest. Jumping up some rocks, Naruto was still in pursuit of us. We lost him for a minute but I don't think it'll last long. If I failed this mission Orochimaru would kill me, although I bet the others are dead, then I sensed that Naruto was back in pursuit, so we just hurried along.

Sasuke stopped and so did I. I looked around we were in the Final Valley on the head of Madara Uchiha's statue. Naruto landed on the head of Hashirama (the first Hokage)'s statue. Sasuke still had part of his face covered by the Curse Mark, the white of his left eye was black, and his eye color was yellow.

"Do you want me to take care of him?" I asked, and he glanced at me.

"No, stay out of it," he answered me, "I'll handle it."

"All right just try and finish it quickly, I'll be waiting," I jumped down and landed gently on the water then I walked to some trees and sat in the branches. From here I had a good view of the fight that would take place, if anything went wrong I would have to intervene and help Sasuke.

This fight seemed like it was gonna take a while. Their Chakra was so different from each other Naruto's was bright and warm with darkness deep underneath, Sasuke's was strong, kinda warm and a bit dull. It seemed to start off as just talking but something one of them said started the fight. Sasuke was beating Naruto at every exchange of blows. Sasuke beat him all the way down to the base of the waterfall. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I could watch them fight.

[A/N I'm way to lazy to explain this battle and everything so if you want to see the battle read the manga or watch the anime. We now skip to the end of their fight.]

Sasuke won but I sensed more Leaf Ninja coming our way. I jumped out of the tree as Sasuke walked, very wobbly, to me.

I turned and knelt down, "Get on my back. We don't have much time, Leaf reinforcements are coming."

Sasuke looked unsure for a minute then he nodded and climbed onto my back. As soon as he was on I got the hell out of there.

"How old are you?" Sasuke suddenly asked me.

"Eh?" was my very smart response.

"How-old-are-you?" he said slowly. I didn't appreciate being treated like an idiot.

"I'm almost 14," I answered. "No more personal questions," I said as he was about to ask another question.

I made it to the entrance, Kabuto greeted me, and apparently Sasuke fell asleep somewhere along the way. Great, I think he is drooling on my shoulder.

"Well you can patch up his injuries, nothing looks serious, any problems come find me. You can give him the room across the hall from yours," Kabuto said.

"Fine," I said, I began to walk away.

"Also," Kabuto's voice stopped me, "Orochimaru wants you to train Sasuke once he's fully healed."

I nodded walking down the steps and toward the hallway my room was in. I found my room and turned into the one across the hall from me and I set Sasuke on the bed. Man this sucks. I went into his bathroom and ran a washcloth under the water.

I walked back over to Sasuke and wiped the sweat off of his face. I proceeded to go back into the bathroom and rinsed the towel again. I approached Sasuke and folded the towel placing it on his forehead.

He wasn't bleeding so there were no bandages I needed to put on him. I sighed, my job complete for now.

I marched across the hall and into my room.

I wondered into my bathroom to take a shower, and stopped to look at myself in the mirror. My odd hair stuck to my face padded with mud. And by odd hair, what I mean is my bangs, and the hair that frames my face is silver and the rest of my hair is black. Everyone in my Clan was like this, either black hair with silver, or silver hair with black. And we all had light eyes, my eyes were an electric blue.

I grabbed a towel and folded it placing it on the counter next to the shower.

I stepped into the shower, after taking my clothes off, and turned the water on. Letting the hot water beat down on my bare skin.

I got out of the shower wrapping the towel around me.

I quickly changed and went to sleep.

If Sasuke is awake tomorrow, I'll have to start his training. Damn you Kabuto and Orochimaru. I'm not a personal fucking trainer.


Well for now R&R

It encourages me to upload chapters sooner ^_^

Bye for now.
