Chapter 4:Lost...
Xavier mansion (Xjet hanger)
Professor Xavier had told Sasuke that the others had gone on a mission to retireve another mutant...Sasuke just looked on...it had been approximately six hours since they had left and now they were coming back..Professor Xavier had asked him to come with him to welcome them back..Sasuke just sighed and followed...As the jet landed back in the hangar...Sasuke looked on in boredom...the loading bay door then opened to reveal Scott and three others...what really surprised Sasuke was that Ororo had gone with them...and she was nowhere to be seen..it didn't really matter to him but deep down he cared a little for the woman who was like a surrogate mother to him...he didn't show it but he had developed a bond with the lady...it angered him and he was frustrated that someone actually formed a bond with him...again...he silently cursed himself for his weakness...Xavier read all of Sasuke's thoughts...but this time he wanted to let Sasuke work out his feelings on his own...Sasuke just stared on as the others came down from the ramp...
"Professor...we failed...Mystique got to her before we did..." came a saddened Scott's voice...Xavier looked on...
"She actually thought that we were gonna kill her!professor...i don't know where she got that idea from" came a panicked Kitty's voice...Xavier shifted his gaze to look at her...
"It's alright Kitty..let it go...Mystique must have used her powers to scare her..i'm afraid her plan worked.." said Xavier "But rest assured...this battle may have been lost..but this war is far from over.."
The others smiled..."Oh MAN! we almost forgot...Professor..that girl Kate..she used her powers on storm and nightcrawler...i think she absorbed them...she was overwhelmed" said Scott...
"Storm and Kurt are in the jet...they're out cold..." said Jean ...
"Do not worry...i believe their powers will come back to them when they regain conciousness..."said Xavier..the others sighed in relief..."I believe we should shift them back to their rooms...so that that they can rest up"...Kitty then turned her gaze to a moving Sasuke...
"Hey Sasuke! how was your day? anything like new happened?" questioned Kitty...Sasuke ignored her as he went into the X-jet...Kitty just looked on shaking her head...
"AHHH! I'll never understand that boy!" screamed Kitty..Scott just chuckled at her..Jean just looked on with amusement in her eyes...Xavier however wondered where Sasuke went...his question was then answered as he carried an unconciouss Storm out of the X-jet..the others eyes widended as they followed Sasuke's movements...Xavier just smirked...Jean then accompanied Sasuke as he carried Storm back to her room...
"Scott,you and Kitty get Kurt back to his room...i need to go contact Logan..." said Xavier as he rolled out of the room...
"So i guess he does care..right Scott?" questioned a smiling Kitty...Scott berudgingly responded "Ya i guess he does..."
X-mansion
Sasuke then set Ororo down in her bedroom and closed the door behind him..as he went out Jean followed him..Sasuke kept ignoring her...
"So the loner does have a heart?" questioned a smirking Jean...
"Hn" came the reply...Jean then continued walking with Sasuke...he grew annoyed...Jean knew he was getting annoyed..
"Sasuke...you don't have to be alone all the time and act like you don't care...i mean we're here and we would love to get to know you...comon don't be like that.." said Jean as her gaze softened...Sasuke stopped..he didn't look at her...a whisper caught her ear...
"Just...leave..me alone..." whispered Sasuke...Jean then caught his hand...he stiffened and he grew annoyed...
"Not until you come out of that stupid shell you've made for yourself...we're your friends Sasuke!..look i know you lived a hard life...being lied too like that...i can't understand how it must have been for you...but we're here now..your here now...comon.." pleaded Jean...
Sasuke's frustration grew...he gritted his teeth in annoyance...each and every one of these people reminded him of the blond idiot known as his best friend...and now this woman wouldn't stop pestering him...he pulled his hand from Jean violently and continued to walk...Jean looked hurt...she sighed...
"Jean...get ready..you and Logan are going to go meet a new mutant that has surfaced...wear your civilian clothes..Logan will be waiting for you near the garage..." communicated the Professor...
"Right...professor..." replied Jean...
She then made her way back to her room to change out of her attire and to move to the garage...Sasuke moved out of the mansion and went to his usual training place...Logan had seen Sasuke use his chidori...he then wondered how he could improve Sasuke's traning...when questioned about it...Sasuke said that the lightning propelled the blade to cut even the hardest of metals..Logan smirked...he then set up Sasuke with broken pieces of metal..in the shooter..he had asked Sasuke to cut the metal into four slices just as he had done the stumps of wood..all the while maintaning his "bird current" and in midair..Sasuke decided to try it...he wanted to see if he could concentrate hard enough to maintain the chidori while slicing the metal into four clean pieces...it was relatively easy for one of his skill..at first it proved a little difficult but then Sasuke rememeberd his fight with the eight tails jinchuuriki...he had remmebered how the jinchuuriki had balanced all his swords and had fought him..it propeleld Sasuke to master his swordmanship...
At that moemnt Kitty came out of the mansion to get some fresh air...she saw Sasuke traininig in a distance..she decided to scare him...she then tiptoed towards him...a flash of lightning and the sound of birds chirping caught her off guard..as she saw Sasuke in midair...rotating in a semi circle while slicing the metals...
"Wow" she whispered...Sasuke then landed gracefully on the grass..putting his blade back in it's cover...Kitty was in a daze as she saw four metal pieces slices fall down in a neat row..
"Hey Sasuke that was like awesome...where'd you learn how to do that?" she questioned him...Sasuke grew annoyed first the one with red hair and now this petite girl...he ignored her...
"Oh comon! Sasuke you can atleast answer my question" shouted a frustrated Kitty...Sasuke continued to ignore her as he set the machine up once more...Kitty just blew her hair in frustration...Scott came up to where they were...
"Hey Kitty what you doing over here with ?" questioned a sarcastic Scott..Sasuke ignored him as the machine readied itself...
"Nothing Scott. just asking Sasuke! over there..about where he learnt his mad sword skills from?" as Kitty said that...Sasuke jumped and sent the chidori down his blade...he then sliced the two pieces of metal into eight clean cuts...it landed in a neat row behind him as he landed...they then saw a motorcycle going out of the garage...
"Huh...i wonder where Logan's going with Jean?" questioned Scott.." told me that they found a new mutant in the area..so the professor asked them to go and see if we could get him to join us..."replied Kitty...Sasuke's frustration grew...these people wouldn't leave him alone...as he readied the machine with three pieces of metal this time... Scottt and Kitty made their way back to the mansion to look into Ororo's and Kurt's condition...Sasuke was relieved that they left...it would be a sleepless night for the avenger as he wanted to finish this training and move on to what other things Logan had instore for him...
3 hours later Xavier Institute field..
Sasuke stopped his trainnig as fourty eight pieces of metal fell from the sky...he was now glad that he could use his chidori blade to cut down twelve pieces of hard metal without breaking a sweat...he was then brought out of his musings when Jean and Logan returned...Sasuke gazed at their form and then he returned to the machine...Logan parked the bike in the garage...he then told Jean that he would go and tell the professor what happened and that she should go get ready for school tommorow...Jean complied...Logan then made his way to Sasuke...
"Oi runt...how's the training going?"asked Logan..Sasuke lifted his head to meet Logan's and turned his eyes to the cut pieces of metals...Logan followed Sasuke's gaze..his eyes widened with shock..there were four hundread pieces of metal cleanly lined on the grass...Logan almost fell over when he saw this...
"Woah runt you've been busy...sheesh..hhaha now i can use these pieces to build another part of the garage..." said Logan
Sasuke knew he had been suckered into doing Logan's dirty work..he let it pass...it was a good exercise for him...
"So runt the next thing your going to do first thing tommorow is the danger room...Chuck said that it's been updated to a higher level...let's see how you do against that...oh and go get yourself showered...you stink of sweat" smiled Logan as he made his way back to the mansion to talk to the professor..
Sasuke looked on at Logan's retreating form...after a few moments gazing at the metal pieces..he decided to take Logan's advice to get a shower...unknown to him..Ororo and Kurt had awoken two hours before...Kitty had told Ororo that Sasuke had carried her back to her room...Ororo's eyes widened with surprise..she was glad..Sasuke was opening up little by little...
The others were seated at the table as Sasuke entered the mansion..Ororo saw Sasuke...
"Sasuke come and have something to eat" called Ororo...Sasuke saw her...a tinge of happiness made it's way into his heart when he saw that she was alright...he quickly displaced it and moved on...
"Runt! get your butt over here and eat something!" came Logan's voice...Sasuke gritted his teeth in annoyance as he made his way to the bathroom...Ororo followed him...
"Sasuke...if your gonna take a bath...you need a towel and a fresh set of clothes as well..wait here while i get them for you..you are not going to keep wearing those clothes everyday." said Ororo...Sasuke grew annoyed but complied as he waited near the bathroom...
Ororo then returned to him with a towel and a fresh set of clothes...but what really caught his eye was the shirt...it had an Uchiha emblem on it's back side..it was a simple black shirt with a collar...and a blue jeans pant with sports shoes to boot..Sasuke raised an eyebrow when he saw the shirt...Ororo caught it...
"I figured out that you wouldn't wear anything else without this symbol on it...so i decided to sew one for you..."said a smiling Ororo...Sasuke looked on gratefulness in his eyes...Ororo smiled...he then made his way into the bathroom closing it's door...and headed to shower to wash off his tiredness and his sweat..he looked on as the water fell on his face...wondering why these people actually cared about him..if he was still n the ninja world...he would be a missing-nin and hunter nin's would be sent after him...but here he was lost...he barely fought anyone..he couldn't complete his revenge...the only thing that brought peace to his mind was that he had killed Danzo,one of the elders who led Itachi to his death...he savoured it...
He then finished his shower and put on the clothes Ororo gave for him...and made his way out of the bathroom...as he made his way out of the bathroom...Kitty and Kurt were walking down the hallway...when Kitty saw Sasuke..she started blushing furiously...Kurt just looked confused..
"Sasuke!miss Munroe told me to tell you to come down and to have something to eat..." said Kurt... "Like right now! Sasuke!" added Kitty...Sasuke just walked past them...again...Kurt just sighed...Kitty grew frustrated at his antics...
Sasuke made his way down the stairs of the mansion..he saw Jean and Scott conversing..he decided to ignore them and moved to go out of the mansion again...Scott then caught his shoulder..Sasuke really grew annoyed...
"Sasuke...Ororo is waiting for you in the kitchen...she's made something for you to eat...now go and eat it..." pushed Scott...Sasuke pulled his shoulder away from Scott and moved out of the mansion...Jean sighed...
"Give him some time Scott...he's not ready yet..." said Jean...
"When will he ever be...maaan i'm glad he's not in school with us...i mean can you imagine...i think he would kill Duncan the first chance he gets..." chuckled Scott..Jean just elbowed him..
"Hey...it's true you know and I for one will support Sasuke al the way if he ever does that" smiled Scott...Jean just shook her head at Scott's childish behaviour...
Logan told Professor Xavier what Sasuke had done when he fought Sabretooth.."You should have seen him Chuck...4 shots and it's over..Sabretooth didn't even land a finger on him..."
Professor Xavier smirked "Logan is that jealousy I detect?"
"Hmph" grunted Logan as he crossed his arms over his chest...the professor then became serious..
"If what you tell me is true then I think Eric knows about Sasuke...i see..this proves quite disturbing indeed..." said Xavier as he continued his musings...Logan looked on...
Sasuke fell asleep near a tree in the field...dreaming about his beloved brother...it never left his mind...Jean and Ororo were out for a late night stroll as they conversed about the new mutant Jean and Logan had come across...they then came across Sasuke's sleeping form...he looked peaceful without a care in the world...Ororo then turned to Jean...
"Stay with Sasuke,Jean..i'll go into the mansion and get him a blanket.."said Ororo...
"But why? I could just use my power and carry him back right?" questioned a confused Jean...
"Yes but he enjoys it outside...and he wouldn't be too happy being inside the mansion again.."said Ororo as she flew back to the mansion...Jean looked on at Sasuke's sleeping form...she sighed to herself...Sasuke was very stubborn...Ororo then returned back to them with a blanket..she covered Sasuke with it...
"I think it's best we go Jean..you have school tommorow..." said Ororo..
"He may catch a cold" said a concerned Jean..."He won't" smiled Ororo...they then moved back to the mansion...Sasuke was left to soundlessly sleep... into his blissful dream...
2 days later (danger room)
Sasuke was present in the danger room..Logan had told him about a new training regime in the danger room..Logan then came to the danger room..
"Alright Runt! this is the highest difficulty setting...let's see if you can handle it...Chuck's gonna be watching you..if you can't take it he'll deactivate it..alright?" said Logan...Professor Xavier looked on...
"Alright begin!" said Logan...
Two blades made their way to Sasuke as he dodged them with ease...another blade came to cut him in two...he dodged it in midair...the laser's then came online as they blasted Sasuke's form...Sasuke left an afterimage as he dodged another round of the lasers...
"Get on the offensive runt! you don't have all day" shouted Logan from the command booth...Xavier looked on and was impressed with Sasuke's speed and agility...
Sasuke's trainning continued...
X-mansion
Everyone got ready as they made their way to Bayville high...Scott then reved up his convertible with everyone in the car...they then made their way to school...
"I'm telling you Jean...stay away from Fred..that guy is just plain trouble..." said Scott...Jean just shifted her gaze to him
"He's just lost Scott...he's not made any friends yet..maybe that's why he acts the way he does..."she replied...
"He's trouble Jean...the only good thing i saw him do is throw Duncan in the trashcan..." chuckled Scott..Jean just rolled her eyes...
"I don't know Scott..maybe Jean's right...maybe he just wants friends..." said looked at her and agreed with her...
Scott gritted his teeth.."I'm telling 's nothing but trouble..." continued Scott...
"Scott maybe your just frustrated that he reminds you of Sasuke so much" smiled Jean...Scott then looked at her like she was crazy..
"I DO NOT!" shouted Scott...Kurt and Kitty just smriked behind him...Jean then continued..
"Oh comon Scott...don't tell me he doesn't remind you of Sasuke...i mean comon the both of them are alone and they don't actually fit in with people...think of it is trying to prevent another Sasuke from taking form" smiled Jean...
Scott sighed..."Ya but hahah Sasuke's way cooler than that dude!" came Kurt's voice...everyone chuckled at what Kurt said and they had agreed...
6 hours later Bayville high school
School was now over...Scott told the others that he had to practice with Kate for his english drama play...Kurt and Kitty then went back to the mansion...Logan was waiting for them to train them...they sulked..when Logan told them that they would be trainig for two whole hours...
Sasuke was currently laying near a tree...watching the birds...Ororo had gone out to give an order for two more clothes with Sasuke's emblem on it...she then promised herserld to ask what the emblem meant...
Jean however was in a dire situation..at that moment Fred Dukes was harrasing her to come with him as he wanted to show her something...Jena had refused stating that she had better things to do...just then a construction wooden base fell on them...Jean shouted in panic..Fred covered her with his body...but in doing so..she lost conciousness..Fred then took her to an old iron work factory in the south end of Bayville...when Jean came too...she was tied up...she then saw Fred...a conversation ensued...Jean said that she wanted to be a friend to Fred..but Fred mistook it for love...when she learnt she could not persuade Fred...she sent a distress signal to professor Xavier and surprisingly...Sasuke...
Professor Xavier was currenlty watching Kitty and Kurt do a trainnig exercise...he smiled when Kitty phased through Kurt and caught the ball...Kurt then fell down on the ground face first...Logan faceplamed...
"What kind of move is that?" said Logan...Xavier chuckled.."Evasion...adaptation...that's what they're here to learn Logan..." chuckled the professor...he then grittedd his teeth as Jean's message came through...
"Calm down Jean...yes i understand!" said the Professor..
"Logan she's been kidnapped..." said Professor Xavier in a serious tone...Logan then turned his gaze to Kitty and Kurt..
"You! smurf!" said Logan pointing at Kurt.."get shades and suit up..i'm gonna ride...red's been kidnapped..."
Kitty then ran to the garage behind Logan..and reved up the van...Kurt then transported to where Scott was with Rogue...they were currently practicing their lines...Kurt then appeared...
"Oops sorry..bad time?" smiled a sheepish Kurt..."I swear this guy's like an annoying brother..."snarled Rogue...Kurt just showed his tongue to Rogue..
"Kurt why are you here?" asked Scott..Kurt then recoverd from his childish antics.."It's Jean! she's been kidnapped by Blob.."
Scott gritted his teeth and banged the table..he then looked to Rogue..."You! did you know anything about this?" questioned a panic Scott...
Rogue then turned her head to look at Scott. "No! and even if i did i wouldn't tell you" said a frustrated Rogue..
"Then i hope you can love with yourself!" shouted Scott.." teleport us at maximum speed" said Scott as he grabbed Kurt's shoulder..
"Aye aye! sir!" came Kurt's reply...
Sasuke gritted his teeth in annoyance when the message came through...
"Sasuke! help please..."
He was annoyed..."Why should i care?" thought the avenger...Xavier then came up to Sasuke...
"Sasuke..Jean's been kidn-.." before Xavier finshed his statement...Sasuke did it for him "I know...i don't care..."
Xavier sighed..."Sasuke do this as a favor for me...the others may not be able to take blob down and rescue her.." Sasuke gritted his teeth...he then nodded his head...as he saw Logan's bike moving...he ran after it..following it from tree top to tree top...Xavier smiled...his mood shifted when the others came up to him..
"Professor?" came the quetsion from Scott's mind...A display then lighted up infront of Xavier..."Jean is being held somehwere in this area...Logan already went after her"
"Right" said Scott as he and Kurt ran to his convertible...
"Professor where's Sasuke?" questioned Kitty...Xavier smiled.."He already left..it seems Jean sent him a message as well..now go Kitty quickly.."
Old Iron works Bayville south end
Wolvereine came to a stop near the old iron works...he sniffed the air and smiled..he then looked at his watch..."Chuck i found her...she's near the old iron works.."
"Logan wait for backup" came the reply..Wolverine ignored him and went on...little did he know that Sasuke watched him as he entered the factory...when Sasuke follwed Logan it had surprised him of how technologically advanced this world was..he saw machines on wheels transporting people...he was intrigued..he quickly shoved it off as he followed Logan...upon arrival Sasuke decided to just watch...he sat on the branch fo a tree...
A fight then ensued..Wolverine was thrown out of the building by a large boy...Sasuke viewed him skeptically..he reminded Sasuke of the boy from the sound village who had come to get him to escort him to Orochimaru...he quickly shaked the memory as he saw Wolverine fight the fat boy...he was getting pummeled..he then decided to intervene..but he saw the others arrive and fight him..he then relaxed as he watched the fight...
One by one they were all taken down...Blob then lifted Scott and threw him at Logan...they both crashed into Logan's bike...they were out cold...Sasuke then caught another prescence...he decided to ignore a pale white skinned girl...with an overcoat shirting and shoes...he hopped down from the tree and moved into the iron works...Rogue looked on and followed him...
"Who's he?" she thought...Blob was alerted to Sasuke's prescence...
"YOU! WHAT DO YOU WANT?" shouted Blob...Sasuke's eyes searched for Jean...he found her behind Blob tied up...Blob followed his gaze..he smirked...
"You want her? fine you can have her only after i CRUSH HER!" shouted Blob...
"Sasuke! get back he's too powerful!" shouted a panicked Jean...
Sasuke thought of using genjutsu and getting it over as quickly as posssible but he decided since it was a long time since he fought...he decided to take this overweight buffoon for a spin...
Blob lifted a table to smash Jean...before he could do that..the table was sliced into pieces by Sasuke...Blob looked shocked as Sasuke landed in front of him...he then looked at Blob and ignored him..he moved to untie Jean...before he could do just that..Blob ran to crush him..Sasuke caight his gigantic arm with ease...he then flipped Blob to the other side of the building...Rogue looked on with awe...so did Jean...Sasuke looked bored...Blob's rage built...as he aimed another punch for Sasuke's head...Sasuke caught his hand once more..with his eyes closed...
"Your an annoyance" he said...as he opened his eyes...electricity crackled around his body..."Chidori stream!" whispered Sasuke...Blob was electrocuted...the force sent him spining outside of the building all the while being shocked...he survived but he was out cold...Rogue's eyes widended...Sasuke then met her eyes..Rogue looked into Sasuke's coal black eyes..she shivered under his gaze...his lifeless eyes brought up fear in her that she had never experienced...he then ignored her and went to Jean..Jean was in shock..Sasuke had easily taken down Blob...he sliced the ropes off her arms and legs...she looked up at him..
"Thanks Sasuke..."she said as she stood up...Sasuke didn't look back when she thanked him..teh others came rushing in when they saw Blob beaten and out cold on the ground...as Sasuke was about to move out of the building..Jean caught his shoulder...Sasuke sighed in annoyance...Jean then kissed his cheek...Sasuke's eyes widened..the others saw the peck Jean gave to Sasuke..Scott was jealous...
"Thanks..." she said...Sasuke grew frustrated..he quickly pulled himself away from her...he was annoyed..
"Tch..." he muttered as he made his way past the other X-men and continued back to the masnion..the others watched his retreating form...Kitty just chuckled at Sasuke's behaviour...Logan smiled...Kurt was teasing Jean about that peack..and Scott just looked on..Rogue had made her way out of the building after her encounter with Sasuke...
Xavier Institute field...
Sasuke was gazing into the sky when he heard the rolling of wheels..Professor Xavier approached Sasuke...
"Thank you for saving Jean..Sasuke.." said a smilng Professor Xavier...his statement was met with silence..
"I'm sure your brother would be proud of you for what you did" said Xavier...Sasuke gritted his teeth in frustration..anything related to Itachi frustrated him to no end...it raised alot of questions of how Itachi could die like that...how he had been lied too...
"How could you die like that Itachi...you died without fear..with a smile on your face...what does that make of me?" questioned a sorrowful Sasuke...
Both the Professor and Sasuke looked on at the stars...Xavier then left thanking him once again...Sasuke just watched his retreating form..
"Someday i'll understand why you did what you did Itachi...someday...but until my revenge is complete...that day won't come soon enough" though the crazed avenger...
Author's note: And that is the fourth chapter of Revenge to Redemption..loved it? hated it? leave a review..and no i won't be pairing Sasuke up with anyone..he's too unstable at the moment...contrary to popular belief...for me he's easier to write than Naruto...anyway let's see how this story goes and if Sasuke can find his way back home...and if he can ever lose his list for vengence...
