A/N: Its been too long, it really has and I apologize. Between school, finals, death, writer's block, marriage (not on my part), and family there has been little time for me to so much sleep. As a result, this is rather rushed...I recentally checked my review count and realized I had 216 reviews and choked on my latte! (And I'm not even joking when I say that) Let me first start off by saying I am horrible to my reviewers for by not updating, and when I finally do it's short and has no preview (which is because I am still working on the next chapter). I love you all! I wish I could personally reply to all of you.

But with Monster beginning to draw to a close it's time to pimp my next work. I've started to work on a new fanfiction for the Zelda fandom called Through the Lost Woods (And What Link Found There). After reading many zelda slash fics I have yet to found any that are interesting politic-wise (aside from Maktub). In addition, there is serious lack of good zelda man-sex becausedon't get me started on adultfanfiction's archive. Talk about weird; all I can find is horses raping link, ganondorf raping link, gorons raping link, redead's raping link, random guards raping link, and at this rate I wouldn't be surprised to find cuccos raping link. Its frightening the times we live in. With this premise, I found the desire to create something with a different style of plot and lots and lots of man sex immense.

Through the Lost Woods is about Link returning to Termania and finding many things have changed since he last visited. For one, Kafei is now the mayor and the Sheikahs' are trying to monopolize Clock Town! For what purpose do the Sheikahs want Clock Town? But the power struggle between Kafei and the Sheikah is the last thing on Link's mind as an even greater struggle is about to occur! All of our fan favorites will make their appearances: Link (of course), Kafei, Sheik, Dark Link, and Fierce Deity! As the plot allows, everyone will be getting some ass. If you would like to help with the creation of TtLW by beta-ing, listening to my plot rantings, helping me with canon, or whatever email me: theblack underscore orange at artlover. com. All help is appreciated.

And also, I've been working on a new webmanga called "Six". It's about a sexy mad scientist named Dr. Schultz! He has a harem of artificial boys and constantly experiments with cloning. The only other thing I will say is that he is obsessed with a impoverish choirboy and that there is something weird about his "artificial boys".

Another White Dash

A u t h o r e d B y : L i n W e s t

"I'm hungry."

Ever since we left all I've heard is whining and complaints making me wonder how in hell the nurseskept sane at the hospital. "You know we can't stop yet, we're going to have to drive all night to get to get even halfway there." Oh, that's right, they drugged him.

"You know since we're run always who are crossing borders left and right this is now on a federal level."

How cute, I bet you feel smart being able to show off what you learned in Government. "Don't you think I know that! Look, if you're hungry eat some canned peaches or something."

"But I hate canned peaches."

"Then starve."

Reclining in down across the backseat Naruto grumbles, "And to think, a couple hours ago you did all but ask to marry me."

I turn on the radio, refusing to acknowledge him. I don't particularly care to voice that I was tempted to dump him off on the highway side.

"Does Sasuke have any clue what he's doing!" Itachi hisses into his cell phone, "They're going to find Naruto and use him. They've been eyeing him ever since his DID started to develop." He pauses as the person on the other line talks. "You had better find him soon! Do you know how much of a threat he could be if pitted against us? He's a bomb and his ticker's about to expire."

After hanging up Itachi grumbles, "The police are given too much credit. If they'd only give us the case we'd have this solved before nightfall." He pauses again then continues, "Why can't we pick up this case anyway? I imagine they're past Illinois borders by now. Keep me updated on the progress of the case." Itachi starts to pace back and forth. "What the hell is Sasuke doing? Breaking and entering, helping an unstable patient escape a mental ward, and running away! In his junior year to top it off!" His eyes drift and he slumps into the loveseat, his hand covers his eyes. "And he left without even leaving a note or saying a word to me."

He sits in that position for several minutes, debating different approaches to undertake before he finally settles on one. He locks up the house and starts up his car.

Indian tribal dances, farming equipment, funland waterpark, and folk art museum pamphlets have been my only amusement while waiting for Naruto to come out of the men's. We're on the run for God's sake; we don't have time to take ten minutes in the goddamn rest stop! (And wouldn't it be awkward to be arrested in a public bathroom?)

After another five minutes Naruto finally emerges from the crypt and I am already dragging him back to the car. "Sasuke! Hold on, let's stretch our legs a little more! We've been in that goddamn car for I don't know how long!"

"No."

"Sasuke! Come on, please?"

"No and no. Get in the car."

Naruto makes a scary face at me, hoping to awake my humorous side. "Don't say it in that ton, Sasuke! It makes you sound like a rapist!"

Then again, he might not be joking. "Naruto, they might only be a half a mile away from us right, we have to keep going."

"Oh please, how would they find us all the way out here?" Naruto by now has broken free of my grasp, "We're in the middle of nowhere!"

I get in the car and start the engine, "Are you coming or are you staying?"

Naruto groans, "You're a real bitch, Sasuke! Why did I ever decide to go with you to flipping Mexico?"

With tease and playfulness, "Because you want me to fuck you."

"Sasuke! That was the farthest thing from my mind!" Naruto flushes.

"That's not quite what I remember."

Naruto gives me a death glare but does get into the car.

We're on the highway again and I'm nervous as hell. I want to take small back roads but I know if I do I'll get lost for sure and it'll take as much as three times longer. I have no plan if we are caught; there is no lie that can cover this up. If we are caught, both of our lives are over and with each white dash that flies under the car I can feel my heart pumping faster. Naruto will be stuck in the mental ward forever, I'll probably have to transfer schools, and oh god the lawsuits. I'd rather kill myself before I go to court.

I wonder how Itachi has taken all of this? Is he mad, disappointed, not surprised, or simply indifferent? To tell you the truth I have no clue how my own brother is going to react to my unannounced excursion. Will he even bother to try to track me down? He's probably glad to be rid of disappointment of a younger brother. I am probably officially disowned by now. That doesn't matter. I don't need Itachi. I don't need jack shit of anything they have to offer me there in suburbia. We get to start completely new in a new country, with a new life.

Like hell I'll ever let Itachi bring me back.

"Oh God, I've got to get him back."

Red eyes stare horrified at the hand held radio that had previous informed Itachi that the police, "due to the nature of the escapee, are allowed to shoot either of the runaways in order to bring them into captivity." Permission to open fire. By asking around some sources that Itachi had connections with he was able to conclude that the last place Sasuke's license plates were spotted was in the next state over. Itachi has concluded that they were running to the south-west states or possibly even Mexico. And since Itachi had managed to only make it as far as Southern Illinois he began to doubt he'd be able to get remotely close to Sasuke by this point.

"Sasuke, how could you do this?" As he u-turns, visions of his brother's body being pelted by bullets and shaking violently fill his head. The only comfort is the radio singing Police.

Naruto is driving me nuts. He's doing everything possible to annoy me in order to siege my attention. His current master plan involves singing. "Roxaaaaanne!" His voice is sour and lacks any rhythm what so ever. "You don't have to put on the red light!"

"I'm going to turn it off."

"You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right!"

He didn't listen to me and I warned him.

"Sasuke! Turn it back on, that was the best part!"

"No singing."

"Can I hum?"

"No."

"Lip synch?"

"No."

"Tap my foot?"

"No stomping." I turn it back on but by then the song had already ended.

"Now it's over! Way to ruin my night, Sasuke." Naruto sinks down in the backseat again and pulling his knees to his chest. "Sasuke, what's wrong? Are you mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"Well, you've been extra bitchy to me recently and I, well..."

"Naruto, do you have any idea how nerve-wracking this is? We are criminals. I'm trying to get us out of the country as fast as possible, but if we get caught do you know how positively shitty this is going to be?"

Naruto nods solemnly, "I came with you knowing the risk."

"And you'd to put yourself at risk of being confined for life?"

"Sasuke, I don't think they would've ever released me, I would've been sedated and imprisoned for my entire life. You gave me a chance to live again. And you know," Naruto leans forward and grabs my arm, "If it weren't for you I don't know where'd I'd be right now. You have no clue what you've done for me."

With my free hand I hold Naruto's in mine, squeezing tightly. "It's like-wise. I wouldn't want this to be any other way."

I feel Naruto's head lay on my shoulder and we stay this way for a time that felt endless. The road, Naruto, and me. With each breath I felt as if years of tension were breathed out, the hum of the motor, and rush of air against the car. Never have I ever felt so whole.

We decided to take a break and park in another rest stop area to sleep at around one thirty. I was awoken to the radio-alarm clock. (I was smart and brought my battery operated alarm clock) I hear my licenses-plates being broadcasted across public radio followed by, "If anyone has seen the vehicle or has information please contact-"

"Shit." I start up the car and start speeding off, and Naruto remains asleep. I take out my map and start tracing over our routes. Another two days straight of driving, will we be able to make it without someone reporting us? I shouldn't take any back streets or go along towns; there are cops and more people there. I can't take any back routes until I'm in the country, which is awhile from here. My best bet is to stick to the highway where there's less people and I can cover more ground.

My eyes shift to the sleeping frame of Naruto in the backseat. We're not going to be caught, there's no way in hell I'll let them catch us.

It's now about three in the afternoon. Naruto reaches over to the front seat. "Sasuke, you look like crap. You need to sleep, let me drive."

"No."

"I know how to drive."

"No, lay back down."

A mix of anger and worry echo in Naruto's demands, "Sasuke! You're going to collapse! Please, just let me so you can rest your eyes for awhile."

However, my personal comfort and health isn't top priority. If we're stopped now then its all over, I can't afford not to keep driving. "We can't, we have to keep going. And you don't know the route."

"You fucking prick! Don't you think I can handle driving for a few hours? Then just tell me it!" His hot hand on my shoulder only encourages and induces my sleep-deprived state.

"Alright." I pull over to the side of the road and we switch places. I quickly illustrate to Naruto where to go with the map before collapsing.

Before I fall into unconsciousness, I vaguely hear Naruto mumbling, "Idiot, you should've just let me drive earlier."
