Sasuke walked down the hallway, pistol hung loosely in his hand and his mission leather outfit on. His eyes were burning and had a tint of red to both his normally onyx black and the whites of his eyes. He reached up and rubbed at them again. They were really starting to irritate the shit out of him.

A door to a room on the left side of the hallway opened and Sasuke stopped in his tracks lifting his gun and cocking it easily. A scream that was muffled already echoed out of the room and Sasuke sighed in relief. Gaara stepped out and closed the door on the screaming, almost drowning it out completely.

Gaara walked up to Sasuke and looked at his eyes. After seeing that they were mostly normal, he growled. "Why hasn't the Sharingan come out yet?" He asked. He wasn't allowed to read the formula but Sasuke explained most of everything to him when they were on their way to complete their mission.

Sasuke reached up and rubbed at his eyes again with both hands. "Apparently, the formula was the longest to actually work, coming after Shukaku and Kyuubi."

Gaara sighed. "How are your eyes holding up anyways?" He asked. "They look really irritated."

"They are." Sasuke said. "The effects don't only consist of them burning but they're itchy as hell. My vision is fuckin' blurry and I can barely see any colors now."

Gaara chuckled lightly. "That's not very good."

Sasuke glared at him. "Bastard. I almost shot you when you walked out of the room because I couldn't tell if your hair was red or not."

Gaara smirked. "That's nice to know. Just don't kill anyone. Injure them, but don't kill them."

"Whatever." Sasuke said, angrily scratching at his eyes. They proceeded down the hall, Sasuke on the best guard he could be on and Gaara slowly looking at the doors of the rooms, sensing every movement in each of the rooms and the presence of the others inside them. Most were unmoving and unconscious but some were moaning and groaning, thrashing back and forth slowly.

Gaara smirked at their agony.

Sasuke was warned by Gaara himself that he couldn't fully trust him when Shukaku was showing, which he was in both his eyes and attitude. Gaara had more trouble than anyone else inside Shukaku to keep his demon down inside of him since he had the first demon ever made and the strongest at that.

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from down the hall. Sasuke smiled slightly. That was Naruto.

Then the blonde stepped out of a room to the right and looked down the hall closing the door. "Hey you guys." Naruto said, grinning at the two.

Sasuke waved with one hand as the other went to his eyes to scratch at them again.

Naruto puckered his lips to the side. "They still hurt?"

Sasuke nodded. "Like a bitch."

Naruto chuckled. "That's a nice way of putting it."

"You would understand it. This is probably one of the most sensitive spots on my body and it hurts like holy hell."

Naruto laughed. "That's true but not like Kyuubi or Shukaku didn't kill us either. Imagine how your brother is feeling now. Didn't he get his first?"

Sasuke nodded bitterly. "Of course." He bit out.

Naruto shook his head. "He's probably in more pain than anyone."

"How long does it take for it to kick in?" Gaara asked.

"A good two to three hours." Sasuke answered. "It's been an hour and five minutes for me and an hour and forty-four minutes for Itachi."

"The process only took forty minutes all together, ehe?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke nodded. "It was nothing special though. It actually looks like Sharingan is for mostly up close battle."

Gaara nodded. "So are Shukaku and Kyuubi. Of course, now a days you can't just fight hand-to-hand with anyone because most people that we fight have guns. Shukaku and Kyuubi both know how to use a gun better than any human. We could probably kill a man from over two football fields away with the right sniper gun."

"Probably." Sasuke agreed. He wasn't going to argue with Gaara about the probability of that actually being true because having a demon inside you was pretty much insanity in the first place. Anything could happen now that they actually have special 'powers'.

Sasuke walked down the hall, Gaara and Naruto on both sides of him and they looked at each room. Most of the people were dead but none of them were able to find the one beneath it all; a man named Furido. He is a sick bastard that needed to be killed the moment he was born. Having learn that Furido had killed both his parents at age seven, Sasuke could feel his blood run cold when he thought about killing his own parents, the two he never knew any better than their names.

Sasuke grinded his teeth together. He was going to kill Orochimaru if it's the last thing he were to do. He didn't care what situation it would be in. The middle of town, the ocean, an island, towering over him from the top of a building or even if it was his dying breath.

Sasuke sighed. He could see the main room of the house. That meant that he would have to face the three people that worked for Furido himself; Fuuka, Fuen and Fudo. Maybe he would get to kill Furido... That would mean a lot to the Kyuubi gang. If he were to die, he meant.

Gaara walked up and laid his hand on the door, pulling his colt 45 revolver from his back pocket. Naruto smirked and pulled the strap around his back forward revealing a large gun Sasuke believed to be a bright orange 5.56 assault rifle. He rolled his eyes at the thing. The blonde and his orange was a bother, but he was slowly getting used to it.

"Ready?" Gaara whispered.

"I don't think I'll be much of help but yeah, I am." Sasuke said.

Naruto nodded to Gaara and aimed his gun towards the door, ready for it to be opened.

Gaara threw the door opened and guns fired. Of course, it was all Naruto. Naruto stopped for a brief second, admiring his work. Lying on the ground were a couple of men, but none of them were woman. Gaara walked in cautiously but dropped his guard when no one was there. He bent near one of the bodies and looked in his pocket. Pulling out the wallet, it was confirmed that that was Fudo. And he was dead.

"Looks like there are only two more that are close to Furido now." Gaara said standing and walking to the other side of the room to look at the things on the shelf. "I was sure that you wouldn't kill him completely. That's why I didn't say anything. We could've got some information."

Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously, laughing lightly. "Sorry. I got carried away." He said.

Gaara nodded. "You did." Gaara agreed.

Naruto huffed out a sigh and walked into the room, looking for something that could lead to Furido. Sasuke did the same but his eyes weren't helping anything. He couldn't tell which color was which and what was there and what wasn't.

"It's been two hours." Gaara said. "I think your Sharingan should be starting to work now."

Suddenly, two guns went off and both Gaara and Naruto jumped to the sides, leaving bullet holes in the walls were their bodies used to be. Gaara looked from where the bullet came from to the corner of the room. A 5.56 machine gun hung from the roof out of reach of any hands without something to stand on. Gaara aimed and shot at the gun, only to have his bullet repel and stick into the wall across the room.

"They're fuckin' bullet proof!" He cursed. He ran to the door and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge. "Shit!"

Another round of bullets were shot and Naruto jumped back and to the side, avoiding every hit with some difficulty. Naruto grinded his teeth together and cursed aloud. Sasuke couldn't see anything. His vision was so blurry he could barely see Naruto moving back and forth across the floor trying to avoid the shots he knew were deadly.

Sasuke's eyes widened. A shot flew his way and he knew it. Jumping to the left, his vision suddenly cleared, color filling everything around him. Things seemed to slow down. He looked at the gun and it shot. He could actually see the bullet as it flew towards him, its trail marked with what used to be there.

"What is this?" Sasuke asked himself in thought as he dodged the bullet sent after him. Another was quick to come and he easily avoided it. "Is this the Sharingan?"

Just as the three effectively dodged every bullet sent their way, the gun stopped, it running out of bullets. Gaara was up standing off to the side of the gun and Naruto was taking cover behind a table he threw in his way. Having no way to get out of the rain of bullets, Sasuke was out in the open, crouched to the ground.

"Naruto." Sasuke called. Naruto turned to him and walked to him, his eyes widening when he was in sight. "What color are my eyes?"

"They're red." Naruto said. "Is this what Sharingan looks like?"

"I don't know, Naruto." Sasuke said, standing up. "It didn't have a picture to come with it. Are you sure my eyes aren't just really irritated?"

"No, Sasuke." Gaara said, walking over as well. "They're blood red. Not just irritated like they have been. The iris of your eyes are blood red and your pupil is red as well. Around your eyes are three sharp blades."

Naruto took Sasuke by the hand and lead him to the mirror, that had a good six to ten bullet holes in it but he could still see himself in the corner where the cracks of the mirror did not reach, and noticed the different eyes he had.

Sasuke's eyes widened. "This is wrong." He said.

"What?"

"This is wrong." Sasuke repeated a little louder. "Suigetsu showed me some pictures of the Sharingan and this is only the third level. There are three more levels of Sharingan ahead of this. That means that Itachi didn't get the first level."

His eyes were red where onyx black used to be and the black looked as if they were sharp blades; long and slender. That was only level three.

Suddenly, Sasuke's phone rang. He went into his pocket and pulled out his ringing phone. Itachi was calling and he knew why. "Hey, Itachi. We have a problem."

"OF COURSE WE HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM!" Itachi yelled loudly, causing Sasuke to cringe on the other end of the phone. "I HAVE THE THIRD LEVEL OF SHARINGAN! NOT THE FIRST! WHERE IS THE FIRST AND SECOND LEVEL?!"

Sasuke sighed, calming himself. "I don't know Itachi." He said. "I have the forth level right now and I'm just as confused as you are."

"DEIDARA!" Itachi yelled on the other end. "WHO DID YOU HAVE WORKING ON THE FORMULA?!" He demanded.

Deidara's body was frozen. "I was, um... Tobi, Kakuzu and Pein were working on it along with the minions but I don't think Pein would steal it because he's not interested in the Sharingan at all. Kakuzu has been loyal to the clan for as long as I've been in here and I personally don't know about Tobi."

Itachi eyes widened visibly. "Where is Tobi?" Itachi asked hurriedly.

Deidara thought for a minute. "I don't know, sir."

Sasuke felt forgotten on the other end of the line. He knew that this was major and it was a large problem for the Akatsuki clan. He just didn't like being ignored and left out. He needed to get back to base and discuss the problem with his older brother himself.

"I'll be there in an hour, Itachi." Sasuke told him.

Itachi nodded on the other end. "See you then." He snapped out, still angry.

Before Sasuke hung up, he could hear the continuing of his older brother's rage against everyone. Sasuke hung up and slipped the phone into his pocket with a sigh. "We need to hurry get back to Akatsuki base." Sasuke said. "We're in the middle of a crisis."

Gaara nodded. "We'll be done in no longer than ten minutes. Promise." Gaara said. "I'll have you home to base in no more than an hour."

"Good." Sasuke said. He slipped the pistol in his hand into his pocket after putting the safety on. "Let's go."

With that, Gaara walked to the door. He closed his eyes and breathed in and out thoroughly, his chest rising and falling quickly. Sasuke thought he was going to explode. Only a couple seconds later, Gaara's eyes shot open and the door went flying off the hinges.

Sasuke's eyes were wide. He had yet, from what Naruto told him, to see anything that both Shukaku and Kyuubi could do. So that meant that there was a lot more to find out about his own talent, Sharingan.

Sasuke ran down the hallway of the house, Gaara and Naruto both on his sides, Gaara leading the way through the mission.

Sasuke sighed in defeat. "This is a disaster." He thought to himself. "I can't believe this. There is no way that someone could've figured the formula out before we got our hands on it. It had to be someone from he clan. It had to be… Orochimaru found it on week before we stole it from him and it has taken us over two months to find out the way it works." Sasuke shook his head. "It has to be one of the members. Maybe a goon that Itachi hired… It couldn't be Deidara. He's to loyal to Akatsuki for that… Kazuku is the same case and I don't think we've ever had a problem with him. He's to smart to just stick around. Tobi, I have no clue about. He could've but that's not a great possibility."

Sasuke's phone rang, cutting off his rant in his head. He pulled it out and answered. "Hey, Itachi."

"It was Tobi." Itachi said over the other end. Sasuke's eyes widened. "We caught him on tape. We don't have any more minions." Itachi informed him this while Sasuke, Gaara and Naruto were still running through the house. They turned a corner and a woman with long black hair and black eyes pulled a gun on them.

They jumped back around the corner just in time to watch the wall where they used to stand have a hole blown in the middle of it.

"Come back out here, my little demons." The woman said, her voice soft and playful. "Have some fun with me." Sasuke heard the gun be cocked harshly.

"Hey Itachi." Sasuke said. "Is it alright if I call you back. I'm being shot at."

Itachi nodded. "Be careful."

"Will do." Sasuke said. "Good luck with finding Tobi. Take his blood before you kill him."

Itachi nodded. "Bye."

"Bye." Sasuke hung up, pushed the phone down into his pocket and took out his pistol, loading more bullets. "Who do you think this one is?"

"This is Fuen." Gaara said. "Fuuka is always with Furido and Fudo is dead." He said the last part mainly for Naruto, scolding him for his mistake.

Sasuke nodded. "Let me test my Sharingan."

Gaara thought for a second before nodding. "Don't kill her like Naruto did to Fudo. We'll never get information on Furido if we don't have a link."

Naruto chuckled nervously, his arm bent to scratch at the back of his head.

Sasuke nodded and smirked at Gaara. "I say I'll shoot her in the leg."

Gaara smirked as well. "I like this game." He said. "I'll say the hip, exactly."

They both looked at Naruto who was looking at the two as if they had lost it. He shook his head and grinned. "I'll go for at least the thigh. If not, the arm, too."

Sasuke nodded. "I'll be careful." Gaara moved and let Sasuke have the way around the corner. Sasuke peeked his head barely around the corner catching a quick glance of the Fuen before the gun went off again, smashing a bullet right into the wall behind his head.

Sasuke chuckled. He then jumped out from behind the wall and rolled across the floor, pulling his gun while he was rolling and shot before getting into a crouching position.

Fuen bent down to the floor, her leg limp at her side. "You bitch." She hissed. She pulled her gun up to shoot and did but missed horribly, the Uchiha already in front of her off to the side. He jabbed the woman in the side and pulled the gun strap off her head before she processed that her gun was across the room on the floor where Gaara and Naruto were. Sasuke smirked when the woman fell down to the floor with a thump, keeping a kneeling position though.

Gaara and Naruto came out from behind the wall and followed as Sasuke crouched by Fuen's side. He pushed her back harshly, causing her to fall on her backside. She knew what was next, so there was no point in putting up a fight. Her teeth were clinched in pain and her hand was over the open wound on her thigh. Naruto was the closet to winning the bet other than he didn't shoot her in the arm.

Sasuke reached down by his pocket and popped the little button open, the movement causing the objects inside of the black cloth case to clink together lightly and barely auditable.

His eyes were still alert with Sharingan but they were slowly loosing their color of blood red due to the over whelming strain on his eyes the Sharingan was doing to him.

"Your in love with those things now, aren't you?" Gaara asked, recalling when Sasuke saw them.

--Flash back—

Sasuke and Gaara were walking through the central of town, regular clothes on but the mission clothes on underneath.

Sasuke and Gaara walked into a weapons store, one that was on Shukaku's list of resources, and walked to the front.

The man looked up and his eyes widened. The owner of the store was an older man with a bandage covering his right half of his face, a X scar on his chin and a white and black rob on. "I-I wasn't expecting you until this Thursday." He said, stuttering. Sasuke could already guess that this man has already has had to face Gaara's wrath before.

"I apologize for the early visit but I don't need my stuff until this Thursday." Gaara said. "I came here to pick up a set of throwing knives for my friend here."

The man looked at Sasuke and raised an eyebrow. "Is he with you?"

Gaara nodded and bumped Sasuke's side. Sasuke sighed and pulled up his sweat shirt, showing the man his gun.

The man's eyes widened. "A signature pistol. Hand made, I'm guessing?"

Sasuke nodded. "Perfect for my hand."

"I'm Danzou. The owner of this shop." He said. "I'm sure your from Shukaku or Kyuubi?"

"Akatsuki."

Danzou's eyes widened. "Akatsuki?" Danzou said in surprise. "Haven't seen that group around here in a very long time."

"I'm Fugaku's son."

"Itachi?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

"Your Sasuke, aren't you?" Danzou said. "Fugaku talked about you all the time to me. We used to be best of friends until that tragic time."

Sasuke stared at him. That must mean that this is the other only-

"I'm Danzou Uchiha." He said. "Your fathers best friend and cousin. I used to be part of the Uchiha clan a very long time ago."

Sasuke nodded. "It's nice to met you. I was wondering when I would be able to find another family member other than my brother and I." Sasuke wasn't very excited to know that Danzou was still around but the only reason he wasn't excited to hear that is because he came to get throwing knives. A very nice pair that he hoped would last him longer than the ones before, which only last a month with his harsh throwing.

"I'll show you both to the back." Danzou said. He began to walk and Gaara lead Sasuke around the counter and to the back where Danzou had disappeared to.

Sasuke walked down the stairs heading further down the stairs after Danzou.

When they made it all the way down, Sasuke was in awe to see what was down those stairs.

Rows and rows of knives, guns, swords and supplies laid out in front of him. This was probably one of the most largest resources he ever laid his eyes on. Sai was good, but he didn't have half of the things Danzou had. Sai's were hand made and so were Danzou's but not by his own like Sai's were. It was different and it would feel different to him buying from another resource other than Sai.

Sasuke walked over to the first row he saw and noticed the each row was labeled. Reading the labels from guns, to knives, he entered the row and began to search, Danzou watching from the end of the row.

Gaara walked down the sword row, looking for something that Sasuke had no interest in at the moment.

Sasuke noticed that everything was behind glass. He guessed that Danzou has had problems with people trying to steal his things before and just decided to put the place under lock down, only for his own access.

Sasuke then felt something from the corner of his eye shine in the lighting. He turned and saw what he was looking for.

Up four rows, right in the middle of the shelf, was a black pair of twelve throwing knives. The tips were sharp, the loop at the end were nice and rounded, the exact way they were supposed to be and the bright red wire around the middle just told him he would be able to throw and retrieve them easily whenever they were to be used.

"I see this set has caught your eye." Danzou complemented. "This is actually for the group named Sharingan." Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Danzou caught the movement. "Black widow throwing knives. Very rare for you to find. You need the right type of training to use these."

"I've been throwing knives since I was able to hold one." Sasuke said, not taking his eyes away from the black sharp metal held behind the glass.

Danzou nodded. "I'll get them down for you." Danzou said. "Of course, they're going to have to be just a little bit over the price Sharingan is paying for them."

Sasuke nodded in understanding. "I'll be sure to pay whatever price you want for them."

"Sharingan's bid was one thousand dollars." Danzou said. "They beat out seven other bidders and the dead line is tomorrow at seven."

"I'll need them now." Sasuke said. "I'll pay you five thousand for them right now for a buyout."

Danzou's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

"Akatsuki is probably the riches clan out there, Danzou-san." Gaara said from the other side of the row, in the sword section.

Danzou nodded. "No surprise." He said. "Fugaku left a lot of money for his sons and they probably made more than they were even left with."

Sasuke nodded. "I need them today. Just tell Sharingan that Akatsuki beat them out by four thousand dollars and you couldn't hold back not giving them to us right then and there because it was a buyout price. They'll understand. I assure you."

Danzou sighed. "I'll get them down for you."

"Sasuke." Gaara said. "Go back up stairs and wait for Naruto." Sasuke knit his eyebrows together. "He's going to met us outside of this store."

Sasuke then understood and reached up to rub at his eyes. "Sure thing."

"Your eyes okay, Sasuke?" Danzou asked, some concern lacing his voice.

Sasuke nodded. "They're fine." He said.

Danzou then got a slow creeping smile on his face. "Good luck controlling that power, Sasuke-san." Danzou said. "I hope you'll be like your father; a great man."

Sasuke gave a small barely noticeable smile to Danzou and nodded his thank you. "I'll be outside." He called over to Gaara.

Gaara nodded. "I'll be out in no less than ten minutes."

Sasuke then walked up the stairs without a question to what Gaara was doing.

Gaara walked up to Danzou and said, "I need you to get a sword that's put on hold by Uzumaki from the back when your done getting those down."

"You don't use swords."

"Sasuke does."

"You're getting him a present?"

"Naruto is." Gaara said. "It's his birth day coming up and Sasuke has been raving about how he wants a katana to Itachi. Itachi just told Naruto and he wants to get one early for him to where no one else has a chance to buy him the perfect gift."

Danzou nodded, coming down from the ladder, knives in a black material bag. He handed them to Gaara. "He's going to pay up front." Gaara told him.

Danzou nodded and pushed the ladder across the row, it coming to a stop at the end of the row. "I'm sure he'll want to pay for them. Otherwise, Sharingan wins the bid."

Gaara scoffed. "He wouldn't forget something like paying." Gaara said. "Can you get the katana? I need to get going." He pulled out of his back pocket a large wad of money. "Twenty two hundred." He told Danzou, after he handed him the cash.

Danzou nodded. "The katana is in the back of the desk." Danzou said, pointing to the end of the row where a desk was in place. "Go ahead and grab it. I know that you wouldn't rip me off. Neither with Naruto-san."

Gaara nodded and walked over to the large desk, bending down to pick up a cloth wrapper long sword. He unlatched the cloth over the katana and pulled it all the way off. Underneath was the real case. On the end of the handle where a couple kanji symbols making up the sentence "the heart is strong". (1: all the kanji's). He grabbed the end and pulled the katana right out of the case.

Looking at the shinning metal, never before holding a katana in his hand, he admired the handy work. At the end of the sword, was a part in the sword the slightly bent out in a hooking motion, but it wasn't really a hook at all, just a curve at the end of it.

He gave a small smirk, wondering how sharp the object is. He brought it forward and laid it on the palm of his hand. Feeling the metal sink into his sink with barely any pressure at all, he pulled away and looked at the damage. His hand had a very thin gash. The sword was definitely sharp to be able to penetrate his skin the easily.

"Be careful." Danzou warned. "That Katana is way more special than any other than I ever seen before. It had some sort of… Power inside of it."

"It's Chakra." Gaara stated. "What Kyuubi and Shukaku have, along with Byakugan and Sharingan. We need it to be able to use our formula's power. That is why only certain people can use the formulas in the first place. Someone ejected Chakra into the blade and it'll increase immensely when Sasuke is using it."

Danzou shook his head. "It's all to hard to grasp." He said. "I don't want to try to even bother with this whole Chakra, formula, clan thing. It's all your kids' ideas."

Gaara shook his head and chuckled slightly. "Understandable." He said.

There was a brief silence before Danzou sighed. "I need to get back up stairs." He said. "I'm getting to old to walk up those stairs though." He complained this weakly as if wanting Gaara to catch something.

"Liar." Gaara said simply, having the corner of his lips turn upwards lightly..

Danzou gave a small smile. "You know it." He said. "Just tell Sasuke to put the money inside of the jar by the register. You know which one I'm talking about, right?"

Gaara nodded and took one more look at the sword before slipping the object back into the two cases. Danzou grabbed a red and golden sword bag from behind the desk and handed it to the red head, telling him that Sasuke would know exactly what it was if he caught one glance at the shape of the case. The gold was only on the outlining of the bag and the front where a kanji symbol for strength was knit into the material.

Gaara nodded in understanding before saying goodbye with a nod of his head and walking back upstairs. He made it back up stairs and told Sasuke to put the money inside of the jar by the cash register. He went to do so.

Naruto was by the door looking at a couple knives on sale and picked one up. He liked the feeling of it even though that it wasn't one in storage especially for clans like Kyuubi, Shukaku, Sharingan, Byakugan or Akatsuki. He pulled one hundred and sixteen dollars out of his pocket and placed it on the counter. He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down that he bought a Kershaw black knife. He slipped both the money and note in the jar for Danzou to find.

Gaara walked up to Naruto and tapped his shoulder. Naruto turned and his eyes fell on the sword case around his shoulder and neck. He grinned at the red head. "Thanks." He said.

Gaara nodded his no problem before turning to Sasuke as the boy put all the money right into the jar and tried to place the lid back on. He was unsuccessful. Cursing, he tried again. Failing for the second time, his hand gripped around the lid and before he could throw it across the store, Naruto laid his hand on Sasuke's and smiled at him when he was looked at in question. He set the lid on the jar and shook his head about how Sasuke got so annoyed over not being able to complete a simple task… Of course, Kyuubi would get that way to every now and then just by something so small.

"You ready?"

Sasuke and Naruto nodded.

Sasuke tried to walk forward but ended up running into Naruto on the way. "Oh… Um…" Sasuke was never good at asking for anything. He always demanded it or he wouldn't even have to ask because he would do it himself. Uchiha's are very independent. "Naruto… Can you… Well, help me walk right? I don't want to run into people."

Naruto smiled. "Sure." He said. He grabbed Sasuke's hand and lead the boy forward. He looked at his eyes and noticed how red they were. "They just started to take effect?"

Sasuke nodded. "They hurt horribly."

Gaara reached into his bag and pulled out the knives. He handed them to Naruto who took one out and looked at them. He then smiled, put the one back and hooked the small hook in Sasuke's pocket.

"I'm going to get them craved in." Sasuke said. "Before we leave the mall, that is. I don't want to have to come back here later."

Gaara nodded. "Sure." He said. "There is a store right down here that can do that for you."

"Thanks."

--End Flash Back—

Sasuke pulled out one knife and looked at the symbol on the side. A red and white symbol morally resembling the Uchiha clan. Just because Sasuke doesn't want to lead that dame thing doesn't mean that they aren't in favor with the clan.

Sasuke then twirled the knife in his hand over and over again, watching it spin. This was the first time in a couple years that he has touched a pair of throwing knives.

"These are really nice, don't you think?" Sasuke asked Fuen casually.

Fuen glared at the raven. "What the hell do you want from us?" She asked.

"I just want to know where Furido is." Sasuke said, stopping his twirling and having the point of the knife facing down at Fuen's uninjured leg.

"You know, I'll never te-" A sharp pain went through her leg causing her to cry out. Sasuke had a cold stare of now onyx black eyes, his throwing knife dug deep into Fuen's lower thigh a little above her knee.

"If you don't tell me, I'll slowly let you bleed to death."

Fuen glared at the boy even harder, trying to hold back her cry's of helplessness. "I will never."

Sasuke smirked and slowly stirred the knife in her leg around in an agonizingly slow circle. She groaned in pain and agony.

"Sasuke's going to make her break." Gaara thought. "That's impressive."

Sasuke's head snapped back doing a semi-matrix move as a knife slashed out of Fuen's pocket. His eyes turned a deep red and he slashed forward with a newly drawn knife, letting it fling out of his hand.

The knife took on it's name and flew forward at the now standing and running Fuen. The knife hit her in the back of her leg, exactly the same height as Sasuke was to her in the position he was in and she fell forward, landing with a loud thud.

Sasuke ran forward and pulled his knife out of her leg, gaining a groan. "Stupid whore." He muttered.

She hissed at him and he tipped her side with his shoe, seeing if she would move.

"Tell me where Furido is." Sasuke snapped, causing Fuen's blood to run cold. "Tell me and I might just let you stay alive to go to jail."

Fuen scoffed and turned her head away from Sasuke.

"Try your new power Sasuke." Gaara said, amused by the show going on in front of him. Sure it was hard to keep Shukaku at bay for him but he had more power over his demon than people give him credit for. "Genjetsu. Can't you use it even though your only at stage three?"

Sasuke smirked. "True."

"Sharingan?" Fuen asked, turning her attention back to the raven before her. She grinded her teeth together. "You little bastard!" She ground out. "You and your brother were the ones that stole the dame formula from Orochimaru-sama!"

Sasuke hissed before dropping his knife down on her back, causing the thing to sink into her skin, drawing scream.

Sasuke bent down to her side and drew close to her ear. "You never mention his name to me unless you want to die slowly and painfully."

Fuen glared. "Now I have even more of a reason not to tell you about Furido's location.

Her world went black. She was nothing but an outline of white, lying in the town of Tokyo. Her eyes were shooting back and forth. They were scared and helpless. Something you would find in a frightened little girl. She tried to move but her arms restricted her to do so.

Suddenly, Sasuke appeared before her and his eyes were cold. He drew a long sword from the case that was strapped around his neck and shoulder.

"This is odd… I would never want to be stuck in a place like this… I can feel the strain on my eyes when I do this. I have to hurry." Sasuke thought to himself.

Fuen turned her head to face the boy right as the sword came down and striked her arm, drawing a long and blood curling scream. She did not die. She did not bleed. She wasn't allowed to without Sasuke's permission. He did not grant her to die by blood lose. He wanted her to live through it all and then lie in front of him in the real world helplessly and wondering what the fuck just happened.

This went over and over again until every part of her body was dissembled away from each other. Sasuke was as nice (A//N. Or psychotic, you choose) to separate each part of her body in area's. All limbs with their pair and her head just above the two half's of her body. She was screaming in pain that was mental just before Sasuke gave out and dropped to the ground in real life, causing Gaara and Naruto to bend down by his side in concern, Naruto more than Gaara.

"What happened?"

"I'm sorry." Sasuke said, to both Gaara and Naruto, smirking slightly. "I think I killed her."

The body of Fuen was unmoving and her body had blood rising to the surface, right underneath her skin as if nothing else was there to stop it.

Gaara rose only to move to Fuen's side to check her heart rate. "She's not dead, just knocked out cold and in a coma."

"Great." Sasuke said. "I'm sorry."

"Its fine. We still haven't searched the whole house yet." Gaara said. "Although, this has taken twenty more minutes of your time. You should probably leave and get back to base to where you can help your brother. We'll be fine."

Sasuke shook his head. "I don't abandon missions." Sasuke said sternly and simply.

Gaara thought for a minute before nodding. "Fine." He said while he rose. "Let's just find Furido so that we can have a talk with him or kill him."

Sasuke remembered just then that they weren't suppose to kill Furido unless he didn't move out of Kyuubi territory silently. He rose and walked to Fuen's body, flipping her over and pulled his throwing knife out of her unmoving body.

He spit on the blade before cleaning the blood off the blade with Fuen's clothes. It was her blood anyways.

He slipped both throwing knives back into his case and continued on with the two others, trying to find Furido without a lead.

I hope I didn't take to long! I'm sorry for the late updates but I typed this whole thing in under two hours and I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. See what happens next time!

By the way, this is the first story that has reached chapter ten!! This is a moment for me. I'm so excited and I hope I get some reviews on this since it is… CHAPTER TEN!!!

Also... I'm changing this from Romance and friendship to Romance and tragedy. I know, large jump but you'll understand later on... I want to make people cry... Don't blame me.

1. 心が強い. This is the kanji form of "he heart is strong" that is vertical down the case of Sasuke's soon to be katana.

1a. 力. This is the symbol that's knit into the bag. It means strong (also pronounced chikara) and means strength, energy, force, might; nerve, courage; emphasis, stress; efficacy, etc.

Love,
