Okay! This chap contains a bit of continually unrequited NejiSasu, KakaSasu, and NaruSasu, and even a couple slight het-hints! Oh snap! XD Of course ItaSasu is "revealed" to a certain annoying character as well… Oh how I just LOVE to torture them… *sighs happily*

"Hinata! How far now?" the pink-haired girl was leading her team as quickly as possible; the other's situation kept on getting worse.
"Um… Not too much…" she replied timidly, "But we need to keep this speed; Naruto-kun seems to be hurt…" I know you can do it Naruto; pull through! I can't lose you… She nearly trembled at the thought.
"Damn… We have to go faster!" Sakura pushed the others brutally onward. They had been going at this break-neck pace ever since the battle had started, and now it was finally paying off. Sasuke… Is it really you? I don't know what's happened, but I think now you need your friends more than ever…
XXXXXX
This is even more pathetic than I predicted… Did he really just fall for that? The lightning struck the blonde, throwing him backward brutally. Come on dobe; I was sure you'd gotten smarter than that by now…
"Hey Sasuke, when are we going to finish this?" Kisame was getting impatient; he didn't know when Itachi would get back to the lair, and how he would react if Sasuke wasn't there eager and waiting to be fucked… And I thought they'd be more of a challenge… How disappointing.
The Uchiha hesitated slightly as Neji lunged forward at Kakashi's command to get Naruto's body. I think I'll tease him a bit… He purposefully misaimed his attacks and watched the long chocolate hair disappear to the treetops. For some reason, the raven couldn't bring himself to truly care about the Hyuuga, but there was still no real reason to harm him… "… Getting bored, Kisame?" he finally answered, though he knew the blue Akatsuki was practically killing himself trying to avoid slaughtering the ninja. He could sense Naruto recovering from the blow; just in time dobe… Now you can learn the truth.
"Damnit, Sasuke… I'm going out of my fucking mind here! Besides, Itachi's probably waiting for us… You know how pissed he'll be if he has to wait to fuck you in the flesh."
The Uchiha couldn't help but smirk openly as the others stopped dead. I guess I can't really blame them; Kakashi's the only one who knew of his forbidden interest, and Neji only found out today I think… "True… The mangekyou fucks only quell the craving for a while, and he's been waiting so patiently while Orochimaru had his turn…" the raven chuckled slightly as Kakashi gritted his teeth; I still can't believe that he doesn't just accept this already… He had plenty of time to get used to the idea of me whoring myself out when I went to Orochimaru; I don't understand how he can even begin to remember my pathetically youthful innocence…
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU MEAN BY THAT, SASUKE?!!"
… Seems like Naruto's going to be just fine… "Oh I'm sorry Naruto, did I confuse you somehow?" he replied sarcastically. Still, he was showing so little emotion that no one was quite certain if he was being serious or not.
"TEME! Stop being such an ass and listen to me!!! Now why are you even joking about a thing like that? Your brother killed everyone important in your life, and you can joke about that shit?! I bet your parents are rolling in their graves…" the blonde was on his feet in front of the others, shouting passionately at Sasuke.
The raven smiled slightly at the Kyuubi vessels' assumptions; ah it's almost too sad how he still thinks I'm so honorable… "So naïve… I gave up my plots of revenge long ago. Besides, my parents have probably turned in their graves a hundred times with all the good fucks Itachi and I have had…"

Damnit Sasuke; did you have to break his heart like that? Kakashi and the others stared at Naruto. His head was bowed and his expression blank, as if he had finally been forced into reality.
… No… He can't have really… "Fine then, Sasuke, leave. I know your chakra well enough to tell that you've only just gained enough strength to do your fancy escape jutsu… So use it and go…" the blonde raised his head to look directly into the raven's eyes, the doubt gone. "But you know I'll find you! I will bring you back, Sasuke, because I love you. Always remember that… When one of your masters is screwing you senseless, in that moment when you know that you hate it; that brief second where you just can't lie to yourself, think of me and remember that I care; that I'll be chasing you, that I'll never give up. I love you, Sasuke, and someday you'll come back to me… Even if I have to break every bone in your body, I'll do it to stop you from hurting yourself like this; I'd do anything to ease your pain."
The Uchiha didn't even flinch at the gushy confession Naruto had just poured from his heart; they still stood about five feet apart, staring into each other's eyes. "I don't deserve such devotion, Naruto; you know nothing of all that I have done…" the raven murmured lowly so that only the Jinchuuriki could hear him properly. The others stared open-mouthed, still shocked at Naruto's sudden outburst of feeling.
"Sasuke…" he mumbled breathlessly, trying desperately to memorize every part of him as he executed the hand seals with the utmost perfection. I have to remember every detail; he's just too great to begin to forget, and who knows when I'll see him next…
With that, the men in Akatsuki cloaks disappeared, leaving a group of stunned ninja behind. Kakashi and Neji glanced to one another; they both knew that picking up all the pieces of broken heart would be impossible this time, especially when they were contributing some of their own to the pile.

"Ah… Home at last…" the blue Akatsuki turned to Sasuke in mild amazement, "You teleported us straight into the lair… How- I mean, there are so many seals and barriers around this place… Hey, you okay?" Kisame looked worriedly at the Uchiha who was leaning against the wall panting heavily.
"… Fine, thanks…" he took a deep breath and continued, "I've never tried going that far blind before… And the barriers were a bitch." Sasuke muttered half to himself. He could feel his strength fading fast due to the immense amount of chakra he had used to get them there. Shit… Not a good idea to pass out in a lair full of criminals that want to rape you… Aww too fucking bad…
A couple seconds later and the raven was falling to the floor, Kisame scrambling hurriedly to catch him. Whoa… I thought it was pretty amazing… No wonder he's half dead…
"Kisame. I see you have returned."
The blue Akatsuki jumped at the voice behind him, "Uh yeah, Pein-sama… We just barely got back… Anyway, I'm taking him to rest now." Kisame began to pick the boy up when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"No. You have a mission. You are to go with Deidara and Sasori to find the whereabouts of all Orochimaru's hideouts." The shark turned to stare at him incredulously. "Go now, or suffer the consequence… I will take care of him." He replied at Kisame's near longing glance at the younger Uchiha.
"But… When Sasuke wakes up he could just tell us where…" he immediately shut his mouth at the threatening glare. "I mean… Right; I'm going now." The shark gave a quick bow and left to join Deidara and Sasori outside. Fuck… Itachi had better get back soon… And I wonder if he knows why Pein really agreed to let Sasuke come here, the sick bastard.

Ooh… Intense place to end, huh? So, PeinSasu? Opinions? Well I like pretty much any SasUKE pairing, so anything is fair game in my stories.
So now I shall offer very special thanks to everyone who reviewed/favorited/alerted Crashing Memories… XD Thanks a ton…
As of quite soon I'll be trying to post a few random side-fic/oneshots every now and then. See, I would have done that in the first place, but then I get far too attached to my plot and I just can't stop… My addictive personality is such a curse ^.^'
Isn't it nice how my author's notes are getting shorter? Well, again, take the poll on my profile if you haven't already, and PLEASE REVIEW… Pretty please?
Keep in mind that the smaller chapters are often followed by longer ones, so no need to fear! And, yeah, my updates are getting pretty irregular, but that's just because I can't keep track of time worth a damn… So, sorry for the late-ish update; forgive me? ;D
Stay awesome XD
Love,
VI
