"You know, Sasuke… you're like a brother to me. And so, if you're my family, then, I want to be a part of your family, okay?" I smiled.
"Fine." He responded and blushed a bit.
"Are you blushing?" I looked at him. He shook his head and looked away. "Hm. That's cute… that you're trying to hide it, Sasuke. But, you don't have to."
"Hm?" He looked at me.
"I know why you're blushing!!" He turned a bit more red, and didn't look at me. "It's because you're happy right?" I grinned. He nearly fell off the branch.
She hasn't really noticed yet, has she… "Sure. Let's go now."
"Mhm." I nodded and got off my feet. We were almost reaching Konoha. However, it reached night before we made it. Just our luck, right?
"So, should we travel through the night?" I asked. He stopped.
"No. We should rest here. Then continue…" He responded.
"Sure." I was about to set up my tent when Sasuke jumped on me. "Wh-What are you doing?!"
"Shut up." He responded and pulled me behind a tree and covered my mouth with his hand. "The person's following us again…"
Again… it's coming back again! The… flash back!! No no no…. I pulled Sasuke's hands away from my mouth and ran into the clearing.
"Tenten! You idiot!!" He shouted. He ran after her.
"There…" a cold voice. A kunai came flying at me. And I turned to get slice below my eye, the exact same place where Mina threw a kunai. I stood there in shock as I felt the blood trickle down my face… I took my hand and placed it where I was hit and looked at the red stains on my fingers.
Blood… Blood… Blood… I heard Sasuke runt to me.
"You alright?" I continued to look at my hand. He looked down.
"You're… bleeding…?" I nodded. And fell backwards and sat down and looked up at the man who threw the weapon at me… Sasuke growled.
"Who are you…"
"I'm Takashi. What I want, is the scroll. Give it to me."
"We don't have it!!" Sasuke shouted at the man. "It's been handed to Gaara, the kazekage!"
"Lies." he responded. "Give it to me. I know you have it!"
"W-We don't!" I shouted. I stood. "I'm gonna kill you!"
"I'm prepared then." Takashi jumped down.
"You'll lose! It's 2 versus 1." He smirked at me.
"Who said I was alone?" Takashi put a hand up, and two other people jumped down. "Now, I think it's… 3 verse 2... We have the advantage.. So, might I say, you'll lose?" I growled at him.
"Shut up." And I ran.
"Tenten, wait! Don't be so reckless! You don't know what he's capable of doing!" Sasuke ran faster and pulled me back in time. An ice point busted out of the ground, where I was just standing. Sasuke dropped me onto the ground. "If I hadn't been there, you could've just become a hot dog on a stick!"
"S-Sorry…" I responded quietly.
"You're so careless, you idiot! You're just like Naruto, I swear to god. You can't just rush into things because you're angry! You have to think of a plan." I nodded.
"You will not have time…" Takashi muttered. "Go." The two people next to him charged for me and Sasuke. I quickly got to my feet. Sasuke pushed me back down.
"Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!" He did the hand signals, and fire came out of his mouth. (Grand Fireball Jutsu) The two people jumped back.
"Kyori, Satoshi…" Takashi called the people's names. "You two attack Sasuke. I will attack Tenten. We will get the scroll no matter what."
"We told you we don't have it. But, if it's a fight you want, then a fight you'll get." Sasuke ran at the two people while I pulled out my kunai. I had nothing special. I had no special jutsus, except for my Sōshōryū (twin rising dragons). All of a sudden, I felt the ground below me rumble… I jumped away and an ice point busted from the ground.
"Dammit." I cursed. I guess I have to use it… I put two scrolls onto the ground and did hand seals, "Sōshōryū!" All of a sudden, the two scrolls released smoke, shaping two dragons made of smoke. "Take this!" I shouted and rapidly threw weapons as a powerful barrage. I thought I pummeled him. But when the smoke appeared, all I saw was another tall ice point, and a smirking Takashi emerged from behind.
"That's all you got?"
"Not at all!" I shouted and jumped back into the air and pulled the wires on the weapons. I smirked.
"What?!" He shouted in shock. As I sent the weapons that were being controlled by my fingers at him. He was hit by all of them, all scratched up. "That's all ya got?!" He was bleeding. I smirked.
"No way."
"Uchiha Sasuke, hm?" Kyori sneered. "Aren't you the sole survivor of the clan?"
"Oh wait. There's Itachi… but then again… he shouldn't be counted as an Uchiha, right?" Satoshi smirked. "Which makes you all alone… Sasuke-san…"
"Shut up." Sasuke growled. "Just gimme your best shot." Kyori and Satoshi ran at Sasuke and when he kicked, they disappeared. What?
"Hah…"
"You can't see us can you?"
"Well, that's to be expected, isn't it… Kyori?"
"Yes, Satoshi. After all, he is all alone, right?"
"Yes… no one to look after him… no one to love him…"
"He's a loner…"
"The pour boy. We feel for him."
"We do, don't we, Satoshi?"
"Of course, Kyori…"
Suddenly, Sasuke felt cold. It's true… I am alone… I'm the sole survivor…
"You feel pain, don't you?"
"Pathetic…."
"Now… drain in your misery… Sasuke-san…"
"Remember the pain."
Sasuke's eyes shut and he quickly collapsed onto the ground.
I jumped out of the way quickly and rolled on the ground to dodge the ice.
"God, is that the only thing you can do?!" I growled. It was getting annoying. I was dodging and dodging… He sent another one out of the ground, and I dodged again. When I stood I looked around… Dammit! I'm… trapped… All of a sudden, I felt the ground shake. He's… trapped me, and he's planning to puncture me?! Curse it!!
"You're done!" I heard Takashi shout from outside of the ice prison. I quickly tried to climb out by pushing my kunai into the ice. All of a sudden, the ice came out of the ground. I tried to move as quickly as I could, but I was cut along my left arm. I grabbed it in pain and quickly jumped out and rolled onto the ground and when I stopped, I stood.
"C-Curse you…" I bit my lip as the blood dripped to the ground… dirt absorbing the red liquids. I let go of my arm and started panting… he appeared in front of me, and he also was covered in blood. What's… this… someone else's chakra is coming up… I quickly turned around to get stabbed with a kunai in my thigh. I dropped to the ground. And clutched my leg. Kyori and Satoshi appeared next to Takashi.
"Is the Uchiha dead?" Takashi asked Kyori and Satoshi.
"He will be." Kyori smirked.
"Yeah. He got stuck in our jutsu." Satoshi smirked.
"W-What?!" I tried to stand but collapsed back onto my bottom.
"He's going to be killed in his own nightmare…" Takashi grinned. "And you'll die by our hands…"
"…" Sasuke? He… can't be killed…
Sasuke's POV
Where… am I? I sat up… but, it was as if time had been frozen. I looked around me. I was where I was before. Kyori and Satoshi were no where to be found… I walked a little more and then I froze. There before me… was Tenten. She was on the ground, a pool of blood around her. I ran immediately and picked her up. "Tenten. Tenten! Are you alright?!" My mind was racing. Was this really happening? She sat up. "Tenten. Are you okay?" She stood and ignored me. "Tenten!" She ran at Takashi and threw a kunai and jumped over him and shot an arrow and pulled the wire back and tied him to a tree.
"You're done for!" Kyori ran at her and stabbed a kunai through her back. She spun around punched him in the face but collapsed onto the ground. I wanted to help, but my feet were glued to the ground. I tried desperately to run and help her, but I couldn't.
"She's dead." Satoshi exclaimed after feeling her pulse. "Maybe they never had the scroll?"
"Maybe not…" Kyori untied Takashi. "What do you think?"
"I agree. They don't have it… but, we had time to spare, didn't we…" Takashi smirked. "So, now the brat is dead… what about the Uchiha?"
"Oh he's dead." Kyori smirked.
"We made sure of it." Satoshi cracked his knuckles.
"I'M RIGHT HERE!" I Shouted. They turned towards me and smirked, but walked away.
"Yes. He's dead. I'm sure of it." Takashi smirked. I threw a kunai but it went through them…
WHAT?! I thought. What was happening…
"I think… someone just threw something at me. Too bad we can't see him…" Kyori smirked.
"What… do you mean…" I muttered. Takashi turned around and threw the same kunai at me and it scraped my arm. "Hello, Uchiha-san…"
"You can see me." I touched my arm. "What the hell did you do to me?!"
"You did this to yourself. You careless fool." Satoshi grinned. "When we disappeared you were trapped in out jutsu. And no, it's not a genjutsu…"
"I got trapped… dammit…" I cursed. "Why can only you 3 see me? What about Tenten?"
"Tenten?" Takashi mumbled. "Oh her. Hah. She's pathetic. She's dead, you see…"
"D-Dead?!" I stuttered.
"Well, yeah. Do you see her?" Kyori pointed.
"Why couldn't she see me?" I asked.
"Because you're not important to her…" Satoshi sneered.
"And you see me because?!" I felt my blood boiling…
"Cause we choose to see you. She doesn't want to see you. Doesn't need to see you…" Takashi laughed. "I can tell that you love her.. Look at that hurt expression on your face.. You're pathetic… just like her…"
"…" I growled… She… That… could be true… she… probably doesn't like me back… but… I activated my sharing an. "I'll kill you."
"That's highly impossible. You see… this all isn't real…" Takashi explained. "You see, you can't kill us." I shut my eyes and clenched my fists.
How do I get out of this mess?! I walked over and picked up Tenten in my arms. I placed her out of the way. Tenten… why can't you see me? I know this isn't real… but… I will make it real… I brought my thumb to my mouth.
"Wait, kill him before he draws his own blood!" Takashi shouted at Kyori and Satoshi.
So that's it…. I quickly bit into my thumb, and then I sat up. I was where I was before. There was a pile of blood around me. Tenten… I tried to stand, but fell backwards. I can't come yet… I need to rest… I'm sorry…
Tenten's POV
"You… didn't kill him did you?!" I shouted while I pulled out the kunai from my leg.
"Look at the time…" Kyori joked. "He's dead by now."
"…" Takashi smirked.
"Takashi-sama… I think you should tell Tenten-san what drove Mina-san to kill the family…" Satoshi smirked.
"Hm… maybe…" Takashi sneered. "It depends if she wants to know… do you, Tenten?"
"What? Mina… just killed the family because… she thought they were holding her back! Don't tell me… she did because she felt like it… and that killing was fun…" I started to pant.
"Nah…" Takashi shook his head.
"… Th-Then what was it? She was always so nice to me! Why did she go on a killing spree?!" I shouted at them. Tears started to well in my eyes. I needed to know…
"The truth is…"
