Chapter 11: The Fight (Part 3)

Naruto ran past the streets, into the forest where the chakra was coming from. 'Damn. Why did he have to come back now?!' Naruto thought as he jumped past a few trees, stopping as he found him. "Sasuke!" he spat out, looking up at him in the trees.

Sasuke said nothing as he jumped down, that smirk plastered all over his face. "Heh. I was wondering when you would show back up after our last fight," Naruto said to him, walking some towards him while keeping a hand on his kunai pouch.

Sasuke was still silent, as all he did was get in a defensive position, ready to defend himself. 'Something's up with him. Why isn't he saying anything?!' Naruto thought to himself.

Kyuubi, who had been quiet the past few mouths, seeing as he wasn't needed at those times, decided to answer him. 'Well, what do you think Kit?!'

Naruto's eves widen. "A clone!" he yelled aloud as he threw a kunai knife at him. Sasuke didn't even try to dodge it as the kunai hit him right in the heart, the clone disappearing in a puff of smoke.

The chakra he had felt before disappeared with the clone. "If that wasn't Sasuke, then where…" Naruto thought aloud before it hit him. 'Sakura!'

:) :p ;)

Sakura's blood ran cold as she felt the heavy breathing on her neck. 'Is this really… Sasuke?'

"So… Naruto wasn't… lying…" Sasuke said, bringing Sakura out of her thoughts. Her eyes widen as she felt his hands roam across her stomach. "You are… pregnant…"

Sakura gulped, struggling to get her arms free from under his. She hadn't thought to bring any weapons. After all, she was only going to go get an ultrasound check and go home, not get caught by her ex-teammate! "Sa-Sasuke, let me go." Sakura's voice wavered. Sasuke's voice sounded different. Almost… raspy. 'Did Naruto do something to make Sasuke's voice sound like this?'

"Well… it looks like… we'll have to… change that… won't we?"

"Huh?" Sakura asked, not knowing what Sasuke was talking about. Sasuke kept an arm wrapped around her as the other went to his pouch, pulling out a kunai.

Sakura gasped as the sight of it, sunlight bouncing off it. She struggled more against the grasp of Sasuke as he held it up to her stomach. "Heh… don't worry baby… This is… a special kunai… Laced with a medic justu… It won't hurt you…" Sasuke whispered into her ear. Sakura cringed at the words, starting when he called her 'baby'.

"Only what's… inside."

Sakura's eyes widen. "No! You-You can't!" she yelled out, her arms flailing beside her body. 'I'm stuck. I can't get away. If I back up, I'm going more into Sasuke's reach. And I can't go forward. No! I'm not going to let this baby die! I'll protect it with my life!'

"It'll only take… a second… Sakura…" Sasuke continued to tell her. At that point, he quickly pushed the kunai inward.

'No!' Sakura pushed her hand up enough to cover the part of her stomach that Sasuke would have hit. It sank through her skin, but like Sasuke said, it didn't hurt. That much.

Blood dripped down to the ground as Sasuke growled. He pulled the kunai out, dripping with blood as it was now just a regular kunai knife. 'Damn it! I only brought one of these and they're only good once! I might just have to kill off that bastard's baby the hard way.' Sasuke looked down at Sakura, who was currently healing the wound.

"Heh heh… sorry… Sakura, but looks like… we'll have to do this… the hard way." Sasuke then switched their positions so her back was against the wall, arms held up above her head as Sasuke stood in front of her, kunai in hand. Sakura started struggling again, almost kicking him in the nuts. But Sasuke moved faster, covering the distance between them so she couldn't move her lower body.

"Sakura, don't make this… harder than it… has to be," Sasuke said darkly to her as part of the Curse Mark started spreading across his face.

"Let me go Sasuke or I'll scream," Sakura commanded, getting used to his new voice as she grew more confident.

"If you do…" Sasuke answered her threat by placing the kunai against her stomach. "I'll kill it… now."

Sakura felt the cool metal against her skin and bit her lip, once again stuck. 'Naruto, where the hell did you go?'

:) :p ;)

'Damn it! Why the hell did I live Sakura alone?!' Naruto cursed to himself as he raced back to the alleyway where he left her.

'Because you're an idiot,' the Kyuubi replied back to him.

'Shut up. I don't have time to deal with you right now. Sakura and the baby could be in trouble!'

'No doubt they probably are, thanks to you.'

Naruto decided to ignore that comment and focus on what he was going to do to that bastard when he gets his hands on him. Turning the corner, his anger only increased at what he saw. Toning his chakra down so you could barely feel it, he crept up behind Sasuke silently.

Sasuke, being preoccupied with his threats to Sakura, didn't even realize until he felt a hand squeezing his neck. Eyes wide, he turned his head around the most he could to see Naruto having his neck in a vice-like grip. This only added more to the factor of Sasuke's breathing difficulty.

He gasped. "Damn you… Naruto…"

Naruto's death stare on Sasuke turned into one of confusion. "What the hell's wrong with your voice Sasuke?"

Sasuke let out another gasp. "You," was his reply. He pressed his kunai more into Sakura's stomach, her taking in a quick intake of air.

"Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed. "What the hell did you do?" he questioned Sasuke, not able to see what was going on.

Sasuke chuckled, his raspy voice making it creepier than it was have already been. Naruto slightly flinched at it, the sound a little too high-pitched for his ears. "Oh… Its just that… if you kill me…" Sasuke gasped out, feeling Naruto's grip tightened. "I kill… the kid."

Naruto froze, his hand still gripping Sasuke's throat, but it loosened due to the threat. The risk was too great of taking the call if he was bluffing or not. And knowing Sasuke…

He wasn't.

Naruto growled, looking over Sasuke's shoulder to see Sakura. She looked up at him; her eyes telling him he would kill their kid. Naruto looked up to see her arms suspended up by his hand gripping them. He looked back at Sakura, nodding his head at her.

Still holding onto Sasuke's neck, Naruto's other hand swiftly reached up to Sasuke's wrist, grabbing it and twisting it the opposite way its supposed to go.

Sasuke groaned, letting go of Sakura's arms, her fleeing the moment that happened. Sasuke shock his wrist loose, quickly doing some hand seals before he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Naruto's hand clenched the smoke that used to be Sasuke. "Damn!" he cursed out loud before turning around to face Sakura. "Sakura, are you okay?!" Naruto asked worriedly, gripping her shoulders lightly.

Sakura nodded her head before looking down at her stomach. "He tried the kill… the baby."

Naruto then noticed part of the cut Sakura was healing on her hand. She hadn't finished it all the way, so Naruto could that something had happened. "Sakura, what-"

"He tried using this special kind of kunai at first, but I moved my hand so it wouldn't cut my stomach," Sakura answered, looking up at him.

Naruto smiled before sensing Sasuke's chakra close by. "You'll be okay… right?" Naruto asked this time, making sure he wouldn't leave her in danger this time.

"Yes. Now I'll be on the lookout for Sasuke since I know he's here now," Sakura said, nodding her head.

"Good. Go alert Tsunade-baa-chan that he's back," Naruto instructed before kissing her softly on the lips. "I'll hold him off," he said after pulling away.

"Right," Sakura said before running off.

Naruto turned and jumped, barely missing Sasuke's sidekick. "Sasuke! You're not gonna run away this time, are you?" Naruto asked as he landed.

"Heh… not a… chance. Still… I can't… believe… you survived… from that last attack…" Sasuke answered.

"You should know that by now that nothing can stop me for long!"

"Sure…" Sasuke rolled his eyes. "But you know… after I kill you… I'll catch up with Sakura… and kill that bastard kid… inside her," he said darkly, Sharingan appearing.

"If you even touch Sakura-chan or our kid again… I'll tear you to shreds!" Naruto threatened, eyes flashing red, before charging at Sasuke.

Sasuke caught both of Naruto's fists in his hand, each of them pushing against each other like last time.

"You know… Sakura had to have been… depressed... or drunk... to have sex… with you idiot…" Sasuke taunted in his raspy voice.

"With this new voice you have, you're more annoying than ever!" Naruto roared, his chakra over-powering Sasuke's as it threw him back into the wall, it cracking around Sasuke's figure.

Claws un-sheathing, Naruto jumped towards Sasuke's unmoving body, killing intent in his eyes.

:) :p ;)

"What?!" Tsunade yelled, hands slamming down on her desk as she stood.

"Yes. Naruto-kun holding him off right now in an alley probably," Sakura said.

"Alert the ANBU Black Ops immediately. Tell every ninja here to be on alert. I want that traitor captured here and now," she instructed to the ninja in the room. "Sakura," she said, grabbing her attention.

"Get Kakashi as backup and head back to Naruto, just in case he needs help."

Sakura nodded before running out of the room.

Tsunade sighed, sitting back down. 'Sasuke won't escape this time around…'

Well, Tsunade's partly right. Or is she? I know if she is or not, but do you? Comment on what you think its going to happen in the next chapter when you review! Sorry for the cliffhanger… again. I know y'all must be dying about the fight. Heh heh… again, sorry. I'll try and get the next chapter up soon, since I know what's going to happen already. Yay! But school's fixing to start soon, and there's TONS of things going to happen between now and August 8th. Yes, that's right. I go back to school THAT early. -sigh- Why?! -sniff- Anyway, y'all know what to do & hope y'all enjoyed!
