Chapter 10
The seven chibi Kyuubi's appear, "Well, it looks like we made it too easy. Please make our Master feel better." With that the seven kits disappear in a puff of smoke and in their place appears a doorway. Sasuke rushes through the entryway into a darkly lit room.
"What are you doing here?" a loud booming voice echoes all around Sasuke notifying him he was in the yet another large hall.
"I'm here to help my dobe. I am seeking the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Where can I find him?" Sasuke asks in a loud voice to the darkness.
"What do you want with the Kyuubi no Kitsune and the Kit?"
"I wish to help them both. I care dearly for the dobe and need for him to get better. In order for that to happen, I need to find the Kyuubi no Kitsune to be able to take his sickness upon myself so the dobe may get better." Sasuke states in a loud voice knowing he was speaking to the Kyuubi himself.
"Very well." There was suddenly light and in the middle of the hall was a small kit.
'Not again! Not another test!'
"Fear not, young one. It is not another test. This is the form I am forced to bare since I am ill." The chibi Kyuubi coughs harshly making Sasuke cringe at the sound.
"Please Kyuubi no Kits-"
"Just call me Kyuubi" Kyuubi interrupts.
"Please Kyuubi-sama, please give me your sickness so that Naruto make get better and not suffer anymore. Please, I beg of you," Sasuke throws his pride out the window and bows lowly to the floor to show that he does indeed beg.
"Get up, brat. There is no need to beg so. I will consider giving you my sickness, but how do you know if you will survive? If it's causing me this much pain, how will you, a simple human, be able to survive it?"
"I need not worry if I can handle it. If fate should take me, then so be it. But I will not let this sickness kill my love. This is un-acceptable." Sasuke explains, "Naruto must fulfill his dreams of being acknowledge by everyone and become the Hokage."
"You really are stupid for being such a genius. Do you know what would happen if you died? The kit would kill himself. He would not be able to live without you either. So tell me, why I should give you my sickness if MY fate will be the same?"
Sasuke thinks for a second, "Because the medication being given to Naruto isn't sufficient enough to help you. At least, if your sickness is in my body, medication should be able to cure it. Plus, I have that old hag around should anything happen. "
Kyuubi stays silent for a few minutes. "Ok, I will give you my sickness, as well as some of my power to make you a more resilient to the illness. However, I must warn you: it will likely be painful. Before I give you the sickness, there is something else you must do; well two things. The first is to find the kit. And second, you must prove your so called love for the kit."
"Where can I find him?"
"I am not sure. Since getting sick, I am unable to control or access my chakra. In turn, I can't sense the kit anywhere in here," Kyuubi explains.
Sasuke closes his eyes and gets a sense of where he is. With a brief "excuse me" to the Kyuubi, Sasuke begins to walk in the direction of this particular feeling. Soon enough, Sasuke sees Naruto sitting in the far corner of the room with his knees tucked under his chin. As he arrives closer to the younger male, Sasuke notices that Naruto's bright blue eyes are dull, void and blank staring into space. Sasuke, panicking, tries to wake him up from his daze by shaking him. Realizing that nothing is working, he remembers what the Kyubbi says about proving his love for Naruto. Sasuke kisses him passionately. As he moves away from the soft luscious lips, he sees Naruto's eyes beginning to regain some of its shine that he loves so much.
"Hurry! You must take the sickness now before he fully awakens, for if not you will be stuck here, forever in his subconscious."
"I love you Naruto. Wait for me. I'll be back for you soon enough." Sasuke gives Naruto a quick peck on the lips and runs to the Kyuubi. Kyuubi stands up and reaches about Sasuke knees. Sasuke turns to look at Naruto he notices his eyes gaining more and more of its natural warmth. Running faster he picks up the Kyuubi and allows it to lick him all over his left cheek and neck. Then everything turns white, then black. "I love you, Naruto."
