"Let's go," Sasuke snarled as he grabbed a kunai from his holster.
"Wait," Neji narrowed his eyes, "he's not alone."
"How many?" Kakashi asked jumping up to Neji.
"….Eight," Neji replied reaching for Sasuke's kunai, "Don't do anything rash, we can't afford to get reckless."
Sasuke huffed as he returned his kunai to his holster, glaring daggers.
"We can take them! Let's go!" Neji rolled his eyes as Naruto ran past them.
"Troublesome idiot," Shikamaru muttered, "Naruto! Hold on, we can't just barge into this battle. We don't know what kind of shinobi these guys are."
"So?! I'm going to kill that bastard!" Naruto shouted as Sasuke turned around with his sharingan blazing.
"Sasuke?" Naruto whispered, slightly scared by his burning red eyes.
"Leave him to me," Sasuke bit out.
"Sakura?" Ino asked as she sat down next to Sakura on the couch.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, uh, I'm just….worried," Sakura whispered.
"About Sasuke?" TenTen smiled as she sat on the other side of Sakura.
"….yeah, I just…I don't know," Sakura shook her head as she stood up.
Walking over to the fireplace mantle, she looked at the numerous picture frames. She recognized Sasuke in some of them along with his mother and father. She smiled sadly as she looked at Itachi's face, realizing that he was the one that caused Sasuke so much pain.
'He looked so happy back then,' Sakura thought as she touched the dust on one of the pictures.
"Sakura?" Ino asked.
"I miss him," Sakura whispered turning around and smiling.
"Yeah, I know but," TenTen laughed, "he'll be back soon."
Ino nodded in agreement as Sakura laughed at them.
"Do you miss Neji and Shikamaru?" Sakura asked sitting between her two friends.
"Yeah, the house is kind of boring without Neji," TenTen sighed.
"Oh yeah," Ino said sarcastically, "Because Neji is so entertaining and all."
Dodging a glare from TenTen, Ino snickered, "Shikamaru can be a pain but, yeah, I miss him."
"Don't worry Sakura; Sasuke's going to be alright, besides," TenTen giggled, "he's too afraid of Naruto to die."
"What?" Sakura raised an eyebrow as Ino and TenTen started laughing hysterically.
"Well," Ino wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, "Naruto said that if Sasuke ever hurt you again, he would kill him and then haunt his spirit!"
"Uh, right," Sakura stuttered.
"Yeah, an eternity of Naruto?" TenTen shuddered dramatically, "Now that is worse than being tortured!"
Sakura's eyes widened as she looked down at her hands.
"Yeah," Sakura whispered.
"Oh no, Sakura, I didn't mean that," TenTen cried putting her hands over her mouth.
"Sakura, it just slipped. We didn't mean-" Ino was cut off when Sakura smiled at them.
"I know, I know," Sakura repeated laughing lightly, "Everything's going to be alright, everything is going to be fine." Sakura repeated looking into their eyes.
"Yeah," both Kunoichi smiled.
'You're the strongest person I know Sakura,' Ino thought, 'I hope you're right.'
"So this is it right?" Sai asked as he hid behind a large tree waiting for Neji's confirmation.
"Yeah, that guy matches Sakura's description and the ANBU report," Neji replied crouching behind a row of bushes.
Sasuke leapt down next to Neji as his sharingan spun. He could clearly see eight bodies of chakra and knew one of them was Kitaro's.
'This is it, Sakura,' Sasuke thought, 'you won't be in anymore pain.' Hands already clenched, he started moving when Neji stopped him.
"Calm down Sasuke," Neji whispered looking back into the house as the men started moving.
"Oi Neji!" Naruto shouted only to be smacked up side the head by Shikamaru.
"Owww!" Naruto whispered clutching his head.
"Dickless, we don't want to get caught!" Sai whispered harshly.
"Tch, Neji what are they saying? Can you hear them? What are they saying?" Naruto repeated glaring at the house.
"Dobe, he's got the byakugan not ultrasonic hearing!" Sasuke growled rolling his eyes.
Sasuke was thrown from his thoughts as a kunai whizzed past his head.
'Shit,' Sasuke thought as he noticed the explosive tag attached to the kunai.
"Damn it!" He heard Naruto shout as four more explosions went off behind them.
Sasuke jumped away from the brush as he caught sight of Neji doing the same. Byakugan activated, Neji pointed out another explosive tag to the right of Sasuke.
Jumping back, Sasuke saw Naruto and Kakashi on the tree limp next to them and Sai and Shikamaru behind on another branch.
"Well, well, well," A figure chuckled in the smoke of the explosions, "It seems I have some un- welcomed guests."
Sasuke clenched his fists as he caught a glimpse of two yellow eyes staring back at him.
"Kitaro," Sasuke glared.
"Oh, so you know my name," Kitaro snickered as he walked closer to the Uchiha.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes while drawing a kunai, "Bastard," he muttered.
"Oh," Kitaro laughed as seven more figures gathered around him, "such strong words, I assume you're here to….talk?" he mused.
"You die here," Sasuke growled, throwing some kunai.
Dodging the kunai, Kitaro smiled, "I don't think so, besides, you have something that belongs to me."
'Sakura,' Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"Oi, bastard!" A loud voice rang from behind Sasuke, "Sakura chan doesn't belong to you!" Naruto yelled.
"Tch," Kitaro sneered as the men beside him started laughing, "I'll leave them to you," he motioned to Sasuke's companions, "I'll take care of this one."
Smirking, Sasuke watched Kitaro through his Sharingan.
'This bastard's dead,' Sasuke thought as Kitaro merely laughed.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked as he stared at the man's yellow eyes.
'Something's not right here, something's wrong,' Sasuke's mind yelled as Kitaro continued to laugh, 'He's not even worried. It's not just his confidence but, something else, there's something wrong with this,' Sasuke repeated over in his head as Sai and Naruto charged at Kitaro's companions.
"Well, let's get this over with," Kitaro chuckled drawing to kunai in his hands, "Someone's waiting for me," he leered meaning Sakura.
"Hn, she's not going anywhere with you," Sasuke growled deflecting the two kunai Kitaro had thrown.
"No?" Kitaro laughed, "We'll see."
Growling, Sasuke launched forward drawing the blade strapped to his back and lunged towards Kitaro. Anticipating his attack, Kitaro drew his own katana and met Sasuke's.
Smirking, Sasuke jumped back and ran an electric current through the blade.
"Tch," Kitaro growled as Sasuke lunged at him again, effectively slashing his blade across his abdomen.
Kitaro grunted as he tried to throw more kunai in Sasuke's direction but was stopped when Sasuke punched the side of his face.
Flying into the ground, Kitaro muttered some small curses as Sasuke steadied himself.
'What's this feeling? I can't get rid of it, why do I feel like something isn't right? Why?' Sasuke thought as ran towards Kitaro's battered body on the ground.
Upon seeing him coming, Kitaro rolled away from Sasuke's sword and rapidly made hand signs. Smirking, Sasuke followed the sign as the earth started to shake.
Two dragons appeared out of the ground, crashing into each other and exploding as the two ninja jumped out of the way.
"Damn," Kitaro muttered, "Sharingan."
Sasuke smiled, as he caught sight of Kitaro's chakra in the dust and made some hand signs.
Taking in a breath he shouted, "Fire style, grand fireball jutsu!"
Flames surged forth as the dust disintegrated in the air. Kitaro jumped back bring up his arms to guard his face from the flames.
"Damn it!" Kitaro screeched as Sasuke sprung through the flames.
Kitaro tried to dodge Sasuke's sword but, with the Sharingan, Sasuke had the advantage.
"You're good," Kitaro laughed clutching his left arm as blood trailed down it, "but you're holding back."
Kitaro limped on his legs as kunai stuck out from his left and bleeding flesh rolled off of his right from the fire. Sasuke's katana slashed through his left side and put holes into his back as Kitaro struggled to breathe.
"Heh," Sasuke laughed as he heard Naruto use his shadow clone jutsu and Neji his eight trigrams one hundred and twenty eight palms, "You'll pay for what you did to her."
"So, you plan to kill me slowly then?" Kitaro smiled: his fire red hair dishevelled and various cuts adorning his face "Drag out my death until you feel you've avenged her right? Is that it?"
'Something's wrong, he barely tried to fight me back, why?' Sasuke wondered inching closer to Kitaro.
"…." Sasuke glared at the man while summoning his chakra into his blade.
'You'll never hurt her again,' Sasuke thought while gathering all of his chakra.
Falling to his knees, Kitaro coughed up blood.
'Something's still not right, he let me win, this was too easy,' Sasuke thought as he heard Shikamaru snap the last of Kitaro's men's neck with his shadow bind technique.
The fighting quickly died down as Kakashi's lightening blade cut through one man and Sai's paper tiger rip through another.
"Do you think she'll love you now?" Kitaro laughed as blood spurted from his mouth.
"…?"
"You're a monster," Kitaro laughed.
"No," Sasuke growled raising his blade towards Kitaro, "you're the monster, she-"
"It looks like we have something in common then."
"What!?" Sasuke yelled, more chakra running through his blade as he grabbed Kitaro around the neck.
"Do you really think she'll love you now?" Kitaro struggled in Sasuke's grip, "You abandoned her, left her alone," he repeated, smiling with his bloodied teeth.
'He's crazy, he doesn't even make any sense,' Sasuke thought, squinting his eyes in confusion.
"What are you talking about? You're insane," Sasuke stared in disbelief, "you'll die here. You'll never be able to hurt her again!"
"She's all alone now, and you left her, she's all alone, just" he sung smirking at Sasuke, "waiting for me to come for her."
"Oi, Sasuke what is he talking about?" Kakashi asked walking up behind Sasuke.
"I don't kn-"
"She'll never escape me now, I've got her right where I want her," Kitaro continued to sing as Sai, Shikamaru, Neji and Naruto walked up next to Kakashi staring at the scene before them.
"What the hell?" Sai shook his head as he gave a sideways glance towards Shikamaru and Neji.
"She's mine," Kitaro laughed, "She's all mine, she always was and," he coughed, "always will be."
"Sasuke," Neji whispered.
'What's this feeling? I can't shake it, what's wrong with this guy?' Sasuke hesitated.
"You can't kill me because," Kitaro trailed off.
"Enough of this," Sasuke sneered as he rammed his katana through Kitaro's heart, watching the electricity flow through his body.
Kitaro shook as his eyes widened and rolled back into his head. He screamed as the electricity slowly fried his internal organs, killing him from the inside out.
Sasuke and the others watched in sick fascination as Sasuke dropped Kitaro's body and let it writhe on the ground.
When Kitaro stopped shaking Sasuke bent down and grabbed his neck, "I only wish she was here to watch this," he whispered.
"Heh," Kitaro's broken voice rang, "You can't kill me, she's all alone waiting for me, and when I find her…." Kitaro coughed as his bloodshot eyes bled, "I'll make her mine. She'll scream my name and beg me, oh yes, I'll drink up her blood as I rip off her fingers…"
"He's crazy, he's insane," Naruto shivered.
"Sasuke, finish him," Sai said, cringing as Kitaro continued.
"…I'll break her body and bend it to mine, she'll be mine, and I'll watch as her eyes glaze over and tear out her heart…."
"You sick bastard!" Sasuke screamed as he pulled a kunai and slashed it across Kitaro's throat.
Gagging for breath, Kitaro whispered, "You can't kill me Sasuke," he haggardly laughed, "…….because you're already dead."
With Kitaro's last words Sasuke looked down at his body. His eyes widened when he heard a faint click.
Trying to jump back, Kitaro's body exploded, a signal, as other explosions echoed around the shinobi.
A bright light consumed the small area as the trees became only shadows and the birds disintegrated in the searing beams. The ground shook with each blast and Naruto cries and Kakashi's warnings fainted in the glow.
Then, all was quiet.
Dun dun DUN!
So what did you think?
Kitaro's CRAZY but then again, he is a maniac!
