It had been a while since Sasuke felt uneasy. It's been a week since that night, and ever since, he couldn't get Sakura's eyes off his mind. What the hell was going on? Should he have left her alone that night? All the thoughts running through Sasuke's head got him up out of bed with a headache. Looking at the night sky, it was a little passed ten, yet here he was not able to go to sleep or even relax. So he decided to train the night away.
Walking towards the training grounds, the village lights dulled out the night sky. The soft cool breeze whispered passed his ears, almost like butterfly wings flapping around. The vibrations of the loud music coming out of underground clubs tickled the souls of his feet. He was surprised to see people were still out and about on… dates? Couples holding each other hand in hand, talking, and laughing walked passed him without a care in the world. He wouldn't openly admit it but he was slightly jealous of that. For one, he wouldn't be able to walk around without a care in the world with all the things he's seen in his life. Second, the way they openly expressed their feelings for one another. He knew he could do that one day, but now was just not the time. Then Sakura came to mind. Her tears leaving clear streaks down her rosy cheeks.
'What the?' Before Sasuke could take that thought any further she walked a little faster. Passing by a dark alley he bumped into another couple who were in the middle of making out.
"Hey! Watch it- oh It's the U-uchiha, come on babe, let's leave… quick!" Before Sasuke could register what happened, the couple took off the opposite direction. He'd learn to ignore the negative attitudes he'd receive from the villagers. As long as he had his new family: Kakashi, Naruto, and… Sakura.
'Do you ever see yourself loving me back?' It was too hard to ignore her genuine expression… her emerald eyes rimmed with threatening tears…
"Hn." 'weird.' He kept walking, keeping his eyes on the floor. He seriously needed to get to the training ground to get his mind off her. He felt like he was losing his mind, it was driving him insane. 'Maybe I should just go visit her to see if she's ok, or… no what if she's working, or on a mission. What if she's on a 'date'?' The thought of her being with someone else was just not sitting right with him. 'No. Maybe I should just train…'
"Teme?" Naruto's voice came out of nowhere, looking up he didn't see Naruto was walking towards him. "What's going on with you teme, I have been calling you from Ichirakus! Datebayo." Naruto's blue eyes shined with the street lights.
"Hn. I… didn't hear you dobe." He tried to walk a little further but Naruto stood in the way.
"Sasuke." At the sound of the seriousness in Naruto's voice, Sasuke stopped his tracks and stared at the blonde boy.
"What is it?" Sasuke was now interested, never had he seen Naruto so serious or even call him by his name.
"Have you noticed anything… weird lately?... with the girls?" Naruto stared dead in Sasuke's eyes. That caught him off guard. He didn't know what to answer.
Naruto waited, "What I mean is, why don't any of them see me as a man yet? Like I have a whole lot of loving to give yet none of them-" Sasuke sweat dropped.
"Are you kidding me Dobe!" Sasuke couldn't help but to punch the moron in the abdomen.
"Ow! Datebayo teme! I'll get you for that!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke by the shirt ready to strike.
"N-naruto-kun? Leave h-him alone… please."
"Hinata if you think about it, Sasuke-san started it." Two new voices appeared from behind them.
The boys dropped what they were doing to come face to face with Hinata and Ino.
"HEY Hinata and INO! What are you two doing out this late at night?" Naruto beamed.
Hinata looked down and Ino's blue eyes saddened, "We… were just going to meet up with Sakura and Ten-ten and hang out… you know… have some fun!"
Naruto may be a really dense and oblivious guy but the change in atmosphere did not go unnoticed. "Hey! What's the matter? If it's going to be fun, why… wait, HEY! What!? I want to hang out too! Besides I need some… girl advice. If you know what I mean" the blonde started to make sexy growling noises and winking his eyes towards Hinata and Ino. Sasuke inwardly face-palmed himself.
"Hn. Ignore him." Sasuke muttered towards the females.
"Way ahead of you Sasuke-san" Ino walked away leaving Hinata a few steps behind.
"Ah! Sasuke! You ruined my chance at figuring out-"
"Um… N-Naruto-kun, Sasuke-san. Tomorrow there will be a shinobi meeting, Lady Tsunade said it was urgent." Hinata's pale eyes fell on the floor before turning her back and catching up with Ino. "Ga ne."
"huh? What do you think that old hag wants Teme?" There came no response. Naruto did a 360, but Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.
From afar Sasuke was walking towards the training grounds and was able to hear Naruto murmur… or yell in his case, "Damn that bastard Teme! The next time I see him I'll kick his ass for sure! Dattebayo!"
Deep in the Land of Water there was a village, extravagantly hidden behind waterfalls and vast rivers. To commute around, one must have a boat large enough for three men. It was really beautiful, almost too beautiful to live in. In the center of the village there stood a tall tower, but deep underneath there were torture chambers, unknown to the world above. Screams of agony were heard around the floor but, not a single soul stirred. The captives only knew to keep their mouths shut or they'll get their chakuras drained and be beaten to death. It was poorly lit, only small light bulbs kept certain spots lit up. The prisoners felt they've been blindfolded twice without being blindfolded at all. The mean being held captive were shinobi and guards of the tower. They were rendered unconscious only to wake up in their prison.
"Hello my little pets." They heard the most sinister voice call out from the dark. A tall handsome man with red eyes and short brown spike hair appeared. He wore normal water civilian clothing with a dark over coat that reached down to half his calf.
"What ar-are you going to do with us?" shouted one brave man.
"What have you done to our young prince and elders?" Questions after questions started to come, one after the other.
"Shut Up you fools! I'm not liking this country's shinobi men at all! Too… easy really." He smirked, his read eyes glowed a blue hue as his pupils doubled in size, hands glowing blue.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson to never underestimate me…" the man touched one of the men's necks. Before anyone knew it the man started screaming in pain, steam was coming out of his pores, he broke out of the chains, his body shivered and started shaking uncontrollably.
"He's having a seizure!"
"No! Kinu!"
The poor mans eyes rolled to the back of his head when suddenly he stopped shaking. The tall man sinisterly laughed his eyes now back to red.
"Wake up my little pet… wakey wakey." He cooed at the lifeless body.
The men and women in the cell were staring in shock as the Kinu got up like nothing just happened.
"Kinu-kun? Are- are you ok! Say something!" a woman frantically yelled. Kinu only smiled at her.
"Yeah I'm fine… Sashi-chan." He smiled as he walked closer to her.
"Y-your eyes… they're… no, you're not Kinu!" the woman tried to scoot further away from the incoming man. The demon got nearer smiling a crooked, smile.
"Sashi-iii" He licked his lips, eyes glowing red hands glowing blue, "come join us…" he tapped her neck. The yells were heard throughout the cells as the man laughed like a mad man.
"Yes my little pets-sss! Become one with me!" Nightmare screams were heard throughout the night, yet just outside the villagers went to sleep without knowing what was going on underneath the village.
