Chapter 5

Friends Forever

Version 1.0

Everything about me

may seem cold

But I don't care

I'm just an avenger

Sasuke Uchiha was angry. No...angry was not the word. Definatly not the word. The word would probably be much less delightful than angry. If Sasuke had had to choose any word to describe his attitude at this moment he would probably have chosen two words. You may be wondering what these words were?

Pissed Off.

Nothing could describe his current mood better than that. As he carried his pink-haired best friend to his bedroom, his eyes began to turn red and he could almost feel himself shaking with hatred. Even for Itachi, his most despised enemy, the 16-year-old had never felt this extreme level of hatred.

And it was all for Kabuto. The freak was absolutely disgusting! Sasuke couldn't believe he hadn't known of the horrible things that that bastard had been doing to his own family.

--

Sasuke walked down the hallway looking for his favorite imaginary girl. He wasn't mad at her. After all, this had to be very confusing to the girl. Everything must seem completely different. He must seem completely different.

And then, as Sasuke turned the corner to another hall, he heard the scream. He knew who it was and, as a result of this knoledge, he was there in a second. He had never heard Sakura scream before...it had to be something completely horrible.

And it was.

Blood was everywhere...just like that night. That night... It was so long ago, yet it seemed like only moments ago to the onyx-eyed teenager. The night of the Uchiha massacre.

Sakura had been there. They were always together back then, and as soon as Sasuke had noticed something wrong Sakura had run off in a different direction to find out what was going on. It was only moments later that Sakura had come back, her face whiter than snow, to hold him in her lap as he cried over the death of his beloved parents.

But, enough about that. This...this was unforgivable. Not only had Kabuto desecrated his parents graves, he had also tortured his best friend. And that was something that Sasuke couldn't stand, or...even believe.

His best friend had always been so strong. And Sasuke could almost feel the tears filling his eyes as his best friend fell, unconcious into his arms.

--

Sasuke had left Sakura safely tucked into his bed. It wasn't the most comfortable of beds, Sasuke didn't care much for comfort, but it was, at least, safe. Sasuke had put up the strongest barrier he possibly could around the entire room.

His footsteps echoed throughout the lair as he stomped through the corridors. Servants, shinobi, and snakes all fled from his path as he searched for the one he most wanted to kill. Kabuto. At the moment, Itachi meant nothing to him.

Well...never thought you'd hear that, did you?

After a long, agonizing search (that really only lasted a couple of minutes) Sasuke found Kabuto in his lab, smiling evilly. "Kabuto..."

The boy spoke deeper than usual. It came out almost like a threatening growl but Sasuke didn't care what he sounded like at the moment. He just wanted to kill the four-eyed freak in front of him.

Kabuto turned around and smiled at the Uchiha boy. He, unlike everyone else in the general vicinity, had no idea what was going on. No idea that he was about to die in a very painful way. "How dare you..."

Well, there was that voice again. Kabuto laughed and walked towards Orochimaru's former apprentice. "Yes, Sasuke-kun?" He asked.

Sasuke grabbed Kabuto by the neck and yelled 'Chidori!' as lightening engulfed his right hand; the hand holding Kabuto up. Kabuto was surprised at this. He hadn't paid much attention when the girl disappeared. Afterall, she wasn't completely necessary to his plan anyway. Blood gurgled in his throat as he spoke, "Is something bothering you, Sasuke-kun?"

At least he was in a good mood for his death.

"Bastard!" Sasuke screamed as he pulled out Kusanagi and shoved it down the medic's throat only discover that he had used a kage bunshin. The real Kabuto came up behind him, hoping to sneak attack, but Sasuke simply grabbed his wrist and bent it at an angle so that it would break, just as Itachi had done to him years before.

Sasuke threw Kabuto to the ground and stepped on his throat. By this point Kabuto could'nt speak, and any sound he did try to make sounded like a drowning cat. "Kabuto..." Sasuke growled, preparing his Chidori Nagashi. "No one touches my cherry blossom."

And Kabuto was killed.

--

Sakura opened her eyes to find herself in Sasuke's room. The door opened seconds later to reveal Sasuke, a few drops of blood spattered on his clothes, but it was obvious that it wasn't his own. "Sasuke-kun?" she asked, knowing he would know what she wanted answered.

The boy simply smirked and went to change his bloody shirt. "Go back to sleep, Sakura." was the only answer he gave.

Hmm...did our beloved Sasuke seem out of character? I hope not... But I'm not very good at that.

Sorry it's been almost a month since I last updated but this chapter is a bit longer so hopefully that makes up for it. I hope you enjoyed Kabuto's death. And Pelly, you'll be glad to see it didn't end up...that way we talked about. I don't own Naruto, my dears! For if I did...well...you wouldn't read it because my drawings are slightly...bad.

And I'm being nice to my drawing skills today.
