Connected Dream: Revelations
Sasuke Uchiha wasn't very happy just sitting around, waiting for something to happen. His clan was a clan of action. Uchiha didn't just sit around on their butts waiting. They fought to get what they wanted. The raven haired boy sighed, running a hand through his hair. There wasn't anything to fight here that would get him to his goal though.
"I'm bored!" Draco whined from beside the Konoha nin. "This is ridiculous! Sakura left to get these people forever ago. It could be days for all we know. Time has no place here."
"I could use some sake," Doumeki spoke up from where he was laying on his stomach behind them. "And some manju."
"You're hungry?" Sasuke asked quizzically. He hadn't once felt hungry since they'd arrived here.
"No," Doumeki said bluntly, "just bored."
"You'll get fat if you eat when you're bored," Draco remarked, twirling his wand around in his hand. He twirled the wand once more, letting it come to rest in his hand. He could sense it, someone close by was wielding an enormous magic power. The blonde leaned over and nudged Sasuke with his elbow. "Don't look up, just act like I'm not talking to you. Someone's coming."
Sasuke glanced over his shoulder to give Shizuka some sort of signal, but the taller boy was already staring at him with his golden eyes. He was perfectly aware of what was going on. The Uchiha slid his hand down his leg to his weapon's pouch. It was times like these that he wished he'd developed his Sharingan already, like his brother.
Draco turned the wand in his hand once more, before flicking it off to the right. A burst of red light erupted from the end of it, and the Slytherin caught a glimpse of a figure leaping out of range of the spell. "Come on and show yourself, coward," He mocked, standing up.
The figure stepped out of the shadows towards them as the rest of the group rose to their feet. Doumeki's eyes narrowed further than usual. "You . . . It can't be . . ."
"That's the same guy who attacked us that time," Sasuke hissed, pulling out a handful of Shuriken from his pouch. He raised one, and tossed it at the person experimentally.
A sword rose up from beneath the fringes of the cloak, knocking the throwing star away before it hit him. "Weak," the person muttered. "I told you before, if you try and remake the dream . . . You'll die."
"Oh really," Draco purred, twirling the wand around in his hand again. "I think not." He pointed the wood at the cloaked figure with a smirk, "this is for Harry." He slashed his wand through the air with a cry, "Sectumsepra!"
The figure whirled out of the way of the spell, a long gash slicing it's way down his shoulder as the end of it connected with him faster than he could move. Sasuke smirked broadly, "ooooohh . . . I like that one." He raised his hands and crossed his first two finger on his right hand, over the first tow on his left. "Let me show you one of mine. This is for what you did to Naruto, you bastard. Kage Bushin!"
A horde of Sasukes erupted around them in puffs of Ninjutsu smoke. Each Sasuke drew out a hand full of Kunai. "Everywhere Kunai!"
The figure spun on his toes and twirled the sword around, knocking most of the Kunai out of the air before they made contact with him. Three buried themselves in his back, and one in his knee. "Even Neji had trouble with that one," Sasuke smirked.
Doumeki raced forwards, and his fist connected with the person's face at high speed. The dark haired teen wrenched the person's hood backwards with an angry growl. "YOU!"
Amber eyes smirked from beneath dark brown hair, "yes, me," Syaoran said. "I would do anything to save Sakura, even give up our bond. It wasn't the first time I made that choice. As long as she was happy. But then you started to interfere. You started looking for my other half, when he was the one who agreed to this wish."
Doumeki's hand clenched around Syaoran's throat, "lair!"
"He's inside me now," Syaoran smirked, "kill me, and he dies as well."
"Doumeki-san, let him go."
Syaoran's eyes jerked over Shizuka's shoulder in shock. "S-Sakura . . ." He fell to his knees as the girl approached him and Doumeki backed off. Behind her, stood the other two he remembered from their journey. "Sakura . . . You're the one that . . . That gathered them all here? You did this?"
"I did," Sakura said, crouching down beside Syaoran, "You were a fool, Syaoran. How could I have ever been happy, if I had never met you?"
"You were dieing," Syaoran whispered, "I had no choice-"
"Living on after someone precious to you dies is a sign of strength. Just as it is sacrificing yourself for that person," Kurogane growled from behind her. "You let your own pain overwhelm your heart. Believe me, I've felt that too. But the choice you and Yuui made was not the right one."
Syaoran's eyes strayed to Yuui, "but you . . . You made the wish with me . . ."
"I regretted it the moment I realized I'd retained all my memories," Yuui said.
"Tell us how to reverse it," Sasuke spoke up. "We're all here now, right? How do we set this damn thing right?"
Syaoran stared down at the dark ground he kneeled on, "we can't."
Draco reached out and grabbed the front of the brown haired teen's cloak, "what the hell do you mean by that! Are you saying that we're fucking stuck here you prick!" He shook the boy, "are you saying that I'll never see him again!?!?!"
"Stop," Sakura said, "let him talk, Draco-san."
The blonde let go of Syaoran's clothes and slumped down to his knees. Syaoran didn't look up, "Yuuko's gone. Without her, there's nothing we can do."
Doumeki gripped the cloth above his heart, "no . . ."
"Yuuko wouldn't have left us with nothing," Sakura said. She turned to Kurogane, motioning with her hand, "Kurogane-san, I need your earring please."
"My earring?" The ninja said, unclasping the small red orb from his ear, "what for?"
Sakura didn't reply, and turned to Doumeki as she took the item from the ninja. "Doumeki, you have one like this too, don't you."
The dark haired teen nodded, and drew an identical blue orb from his pocket, handing it to Sakura. "These were sealed away from time here in this place before they were given to you," Sakura said. "the red one is simply the key to the blue one, which has some of my memories, as well as one other's inside it." She transferred both rings into her right hand, and handed them to Doumeki. "Place these over your heart. You're the only one that can unlock it."
Doumeki nodded, and held the two earrings up to the top left side of his chest. He closed his eyes, and kept them closed even as the orbs grew hot and burned in his hand. As well as one other's . . . His eyes flew open as a cool hand touched the one he was holding the earring's with. "Hey, open you eyes you idiot."
The dark haired teen's golden eyes met blue ones, and his heart, that had been throbbing in pain since this whole thing had started, grew calm. "Kimihiro . . ." he whispered.
RANDOM AUTHOR RAMBLE
You can tell it's been too long since you've written something when the spell check marks all the names wrong even thought you added them months ago . . .
Sorry it took so long, I had major brain damage on this one, sorries. "Love Rebound" was making my head go, "yay Naruto! Yay Smut!' and I didn't have any ideas for this one. But I decided I have to finish it before I go on my month of vacation where I won't have access to post. So, yay. Only one more chapter I think. Maybe two if I get struck by the lightning of inspiration.
