The Eighth Celestial Warrior

Chapter 11 – Knowledge-less and Lustfulness

"Can you see it?"

The question was gentle, wondering.

See what?

"Him."

No, she couldn't see him. But she knew whom the other was talking about. HIM with his black as night hair. HIM with his dark black eyes. HIM with the body that screamed power, even if it didn't show it.

Yes. HIM…

  

"Hyuuga-sama?"

Neji looked away from Shikamaru, seeing a familiar girl with Kakashi by her side.

"You…?"

"Yuki Miaka."

"Ah – yes – Yuki-san. What're you doing here? It's late." Kakashi had an amused smile on his face.

"Well, THAT'S the entertaining part. Only ten minutes ago she opened her window and screamed for me. I didn't even tell her I was there." Miaka blushed embarrassingly at Neji's stare.

"Well, I kind of… sensed it. I knew you could help me, so I shouted." She then looked to Neji. "And I knew you could help me too, so I came."

"Kakashi…"

"Hey, she was very persuasive."

"Ugh – fine. I'm in the middle of something important, but all right Yuki-san, what do you need?" Miaka's voice was quiet.

"Is Uchiha-sama missing?"

Neji was upon her in an instant, gripping her shoulders.

"You mean you know something about where he's gone? TALK." Miaka gulped, and Kakashi gently patted Neji's arm, reminding him to release her. The Byakugan user's desperation wasn't something to laugh at.

He must really care for Uchiha-sama…

"N-no! I don't! I was just wondering…" Neji was skeptical. Even though he was in near panic, he didn't earn the nickname Clearest-Thinker-in-Times-of-Scared-Shitless-Panic-and-Peril (courtesy of Kiba) in the group for nothing.

"How? How could you possibly WONDER something like this?"

"I had a dream…"

"A dream? You really think a DREAM could help us?"

"Calm down Neji. There have been seers before."

"But Lord Hokage…"

"Relax Neji. Let us hear what she has to say." Why Naruto was putting his faith into a girl that had just popped up two days before, he didn't know. Looking at the girl named Yuki Miaka though, filled him with some unnatural certainty that she could help them – help them find Sasuke.

Like she is somehow linked to him. Then another, out of place thought.

CRACK! DON'T LET NEJI HEAR THAT! HE'D KILL THE GIRL!

"Start at the beginning," he said, face straight. "Tell us where you think he might be." Miaka closed her eyes, lacing her hands together. Neji rolled his eyes.

"Oh, Naruto this is stupid –"

"Hush Neji," Kakashi commanded softly. Neji shot him a very Sasuke-like glare, but said nothing.

Miaka let the power of the priestess flow through her, mentally reaching out for Sasuke.

Knowing how destiny works, he is the one. I can only hope.

"How do you usually identify him without sight?" She asked crisply, the question extremely unlike her.

"A bright blue flame in the mind's eye," Neji answered stiffly. "But there's no way you'll be able to see it – only ninja can."

Only lovers can.

Kakashi grinned at the hidden words. Oh Hyuuga, don't tell me you're getting JEALOUS.

Jealous that someone else is looking for his lover – that someone that can't even call Sasuke by his name might have the capabilities needed to help us find Sasuke – something that his lover doesn't have. Shikamaru thought. He sighed. So troublesome…

Miaka stretched her senses, praying. Please Suzaku – please Tai Yi Jun – please let me find him.

Her reach traveled through outside the walls of Konoha, through the forest, miles away.

A searing hot flame reached her senses – not blue – not cold – but bright. Bright, fiery red burning with intensity greater than anything she had ever felt.

Oh God…

She opened her eyes and slumped, gasping. She would have fallen if Kakashi hadn't caught her, supporting her by the armpits.

"Oh dear – are you alright?" He asked mildly. Miaka forced herself to breathe deeply. Neji took a step forward.

"Well? What did you see? If anything?" Miaka managed to stand on her own. She shook her head, the powerful sensation of being burned alive fading into nothing, leaving her with nothing.

"I don't… remember…"

"WHAT?" She shuddered in fear at Neji's bellow, and Naruto quickly got between him and Miaka.

"Calm down Neji – something obviously happened."

"Yes, but it doesn't matter what it was if the stupid girl can't remember it!" Miaka visibly flinched, and Kakashi set a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Calm DOWN Neji – at least she tried." Neji glared at Kakashi and then at Miaka, his eyes pulsing angrily with the Byakugon.

"I TOLD you this was a waste of time," he hissed, before turning and leaping away. Naruto sighed sadly and turned to Miaka.

"Please don't take offense. He's incredibly worried. He and Sasuke's bond goes deep within them. If something were to happen to Sasuke, I'm sure Neji would die." Miaka nodded. Yes. If something happened to Tamahome, I'd die too.

"All of us are worried," Kakashi added. "Sasuke has changed a lot – he's affected us all ever since he came back, one way or another." There was silence at this. Miaka blinked, confused.

Came back from what…?

  

Heat. Burning, searing, flaming heat. It scorched his body – his insides – ruthlessly. Every pore was set ablaze with the inward war raging inside of him.

He felt his body fighting back – he willed it to succeed.

Slowly, ever so slowly, he felt the heat receding, leaving him sweating and gasping and burned, but alive.

God…

  

"It's been 24 fucking hours!" Neji's voice was tired and strained, yet still found the energy to be close to hysteria. "For the last time Hokage-sama – let me look for him!" Naruto sighed heavily.

"I'm doing all I can, Neji. But you need Kakashi for this mission – he has the greatest range." He looked up to Neji, who was pacing the office in worry.

"Then let me go ahead of him! Shikamaru and Kiba are ready to go!"

"They need to be cleared first."

"DAMMIT!" Neji slammed his fist into the coffee table, cracking it in two. Naruto blinked in surprise. The Hyuuga was sure changing. Before Sasuke came back Neji would never dream of showing such angry force. God. That blasted Uchiha is affecting all of us…

"Please Naruto." Neji sat heavily on the couch, head down and muscles tense. "Just please let me go to him."

Silence stretched as Naruto merely surveyed Neji for a moment, watching the shoulders tense and relax and watching them tremble. He knew what Neji was feeling. He knew how it felt to lose someone – how it hurt so dearly to think they were in trouble – or dead or in pain – and you weren't there to share it with them – you weren't there to offer support or save them – you couldn't do anything except sit and wait. It was tearing Neji apart. He took a deep breath.

"Kakashi should be available in an hour," he said quietly. "I'll send him on after you – go."

Neji raised his head and merely looked at him.

"Wha…?" Naruto inclined his head and looked at him. Neji's eyes widened in realization.

"Oh God – Hokage-sama!"

"But one thing Neji." Neji blinked. Naruto surveyed him. "Be careful. If anything happened to you, Sasuke would skin me alive." Neji nodded and bowed.

"Thank you Naruto. We'll depart immediately."

"I'm giving you two days Neji – that's all the time I can give."

"Yes Hokage-sama – thank you." With that, he was gone. Naruto sighed after a moment.

"Aye, Kami-sama," he breathed. "Don't make me regret this."

  

Sasuke awoke to a cool towel bathing his forehead. He slowly opened his eyes.

A blonde girl no older than sixteen was at his side, wiping his forehead. Worried eyes looked down at him.

"Oh – you're awake!" He pushed himself up groggily, his head throbbing. The girl clucked her tongue and shook her head. "I don't know what Nakago did to you, but as soon as he left this tent, you passed out with a fever! But you're incredibly strong – you broke the fever in the first two hours! You've been sleeping it off now." Sasuke shook his head gingerly to clear it. Slowly, he looked at the girl again. Her clothes were strange, but they looked oddly familiar…

"Who are you?" He asked, his voice coming out hoarse. She smiled at him.

"I am Yui. I am the priestess of Sieryu." Sasuke blinked at her. Is that why I didn't kill her on sight?

"Your eminence?" The blonde looked towards the tent flap. The other girl was there again.

"Ah! Soi! What is it?" Soi looked at Sasuke.

"Your eminence, Nakago wishes to hold private conference with the newcomer, if that's possible." Yui blinked.

"But he just woke up – he's still recovering."

"I'm fine!" Sasuke snapped before he could stop himself. Yui glanced at him, a little hurt in her eyes. Sasuke ignored it.

Damn chick…

"Well, alright then. If you say so – that's fine Soi." She looked back to Sasuke and gave him a smile, raising her hand to brush the bangs out of his face, touching his cheek softly. His skin tingled at her touch. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

With that she was gone. Soi left, only to be replaced by Nakago. He smiled down at Sasuke, where he rested on the floor. Sasuke glared at him, thoroughly wishing looks could kill. Nakago knelt down until he was eye-level with the other. He smirked as Sasuke glared.

"Still can't move?" He asked him sweetly. Sasuke's eyes narrowed, but he stayed silent. Nakago's eyes also narrowed in response. "Oh, you're mute too?" Sasuke's eyes narrowed further, and he looked away, disgusted.

"Go to hell, asshole," he snapped. Nakago's eyes turned sharp.

"Watch your tongue." He lunged forward and latched one of his hands onto the throat right underneath Sasuke's jaw, the force making him fall back.

What the fuck?

His back slammed onto the thin padding that was serving as his bed, making him close his eyes with a grunt.

In that mere moment of blindness, warm lips were on his and a tongue was forcing its way into his mouth. His eyes snapped open and he stiffened.

Nakago's nose brushed against his cheek, and his free hand pinned Sasuke's wrists over his head, the other hand roaming freely down the Uchiha's chest and sides.

WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING?

With a gasp, Sasuke jerked his head away, but Nakago caught his lips again and crushed against them punishingly, biting down on the flesh. Sasuke winced. Damn, those teeth were sharp!

Sasuke managed to pull away again.

"Get off me! What the fuck do you think you're doing, you pervert?" He yelled. Nakago smiled coldly, setting a restraining, warning hand on Sasuke's throat, feeling the frantic beating underneath his fingers. Such soft skin…

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Language, child, language. And forgive me – but I can't seem to resist," he said smoothly, his eyes holding no trace of regret at all. In fact – to Sasuke's anger – he realized the blonde bastard was ENJOYING this. Sure – like HELL you can't resist!

Nakago's tongue snaked out to caress Sasuke's throat. The Uchiha shuddered at the heat. "You're gorgeous – perhaps even more beautiful than Soi. How strange for a man…" Oh yeah, YOU'RE one to talk! Blonde bastard! He eyed Sasuke hungrily, and the Uchiha suppressed a shudder.

"I want to know you," the blonde said dangerously, his tone telling Sasuke that he meant deadly business. "ALL of you."

Oh God…

End of Chapter 11 - Knowledge-less and Lustfulness

Hehehe – a little cliffy for all of you.

Yes, the chapter title is quite abnormal, and no, Knowledge-less is not a word.

Hmmm… So Miaka finally got some spotlight on her. Hmmm, I'm excited.

And yes, Sasuke can't move. His body has no strength and his Chakra won't respond to him. So to put it bluntly – he's helpless. And he's kicking himself in the ass for it. Sniff… poor Sasuke.

ANYWAY! Please read and review! I hoped you enjoyed it! AND REALLY! I MEAN IT! REVIEW!

Until next time! Uke-chan and Shman-chan love you!

Ja ne!
