Chapter 14

SM123: Buahahaha (that word it Sunmoon123 copyrighted kiddies) I'm back! I am so sorry about the last chapter. That took forever to write T_T. Anyway, because of the rush last chapter; I forgot to add some author's notes that should have been in the last chapter:

Another reason why that last chapter was so slow was because I MADE A DRAWING OF RUKIA!!! It's like every time I mention Rukia, I always imagine the one from Bleach. So-o, I made a drawing of her and the link to her picture is now on my profile. Please remember that I am a writer. Not an artist (except when it comes to trees). Eh, the picture isn't in good quality 'cause my scanner broke down so I had to take the picture instead of scan it into the computer. T_T I couldn't capture every detail.

I am so sorry, Sasuke. I am now also an Itachi fan girl. He's so awesome.

Um, for Gaara's and Naomi's mini-kiss scene, I did know what I was doing. In a way, I have been in a kiss scene before. So you guys don't need to worry about me writing u suck-ish kiss scene for Sasuke and Sakura… 'cause I won't.

Alright, I got too lazy to write out the entire "what would have happened," but here it is:

Cloud had no idea if Sasuke and Gaara were telling the truth about Satoshi's betrayal. But eventually, the decided to let them go. They said that Sasuke and Gaara had one month to prove that they were innocent. If not, Cloud had every right to declare war. Suddenly, a messenger bird flew in and Cloud and Sasuke and Gaara learned that Leaf and Sand had been ambushed. Documents and info had about the Organization had just been either stolen or destroyed. The Raikage was still suspicious whether the villages were trying to get their ninja out of danger or not. So the Raikage sent lizard scouts to the villages to see if they were telling the truth or not. But while they were waiting for the animals' return, Cloud was suddenly ambushed! The organization tried to steal information but then Cloud was able to fight back and drive the Organization back. But although they accomplished doing so, many ninjas were killed. From the Cloud Village, they could hear the Organization cheering as if they had one. Then losers had won and the winners had lost. The Raikage, after seeing this, believes Sasuke and Gaara. But they would have to think about it, if he wants to be in the upcoming war or not.

A-and, I got some more accounts around other sites. Like they're all on my profile. I have a MySpace, just tell me that you're a fanfiction person and I'll accept you (but I have of rule of whether I will accept you or not. And I'm not telling you :P Safety reasons). Um, I also have a YouTube XD. A-and I have a Photobucket. All the links are on my profile. Have fun. (REMEMBER: I MIGHT NOT ACCEPT YOU! I HAVE A WAY OF ACCEPTING PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW!)

Sasuke: Hey!

SM123: The Uchiha brothers are so awesome.

Sasuke: I feel so unloved.

SM123: Whatever.

SM123: Anyway, it feels so good to write again. But I'm gonna have to warn you that the chapters are gonna get longer and they will take longer to write. Why? School. Duh. Aw, man. For the first PE subject I'm learning is FOOTBALL!!!! So if you have any advice on football. Please give me some. If I die, no one will continue writing the story.

Sasuke: Whoop-a-dee-doo-doo.

SM123: Is that word even in your vocabulary?!

Sasuke: Yes it is.

SM123: Okay, another thing peoples. It's about the reviews. I noticed that chapters with Sakura had more reviews… Weird but awesome. Which makes me happy to say: SAKURA'S COMING BACK THIS CHAPTER!! How many chapters has it been since Sakura was with Sasuke again? A lot. I'm not even bothering to count XD.

Sasuke: Ok. PLEASE REVIEW PEOPLES! Hey, how about this: REVIEW TO SAVE THE MONKEY NINJAS!

SM123: No.

Has anyone noticed how much slang Sasuke and Gaara use in this story? Its' like Sasuke and Gaara are best buddies. Not Sasuke and Naruto XD.

NOW ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!


"Wh-what?" Sasuke asked.

"It's so obvious, Sasuke. You love Sakura." Gaara stated without even looking at Sasuke.

Sasuke laughed and shook his head. "No. I don't love her."

"Really? I mean—"

Sasuke held up his hand and said, "Trust me, I don't."

"Psh. Yeah, right!" Gaara laughed.

"Yeah. At least I don't suddenly kiss her out of nowhere," Sasuke teased.

The two boys were laughing for a while. But when their laughter died down, Gaara said, "This looks wrong."

"How?"

"Uh, we're both guys and we're sitting in a tree together."

"You think messed up thoughts."

"Whatever." Gaara hopped off the tree and said, "I'm gonna go back to the village. You coming?"

"Nah. I wanna…" Sasuke didn't know what to say.

"It's cool, man."

Gaara ran into the darkness back towards the village.

Now what? Sasuke thought.

Sasuke stared into space again.

I wonder if Sakura can see the stars.

Sasuke gripped into the bark of the tree, his fingers began cutting into the bark.

This is all my fault.

Sasuke released the hold on his chakra again, letting it flow free.


Somewhere else:

"We've detected the Uchiha's chakra," a Cloud Ninja said.

"Is the Kazekage with him?" another one asked.

"No."

The commander nodded. "It's good enough."

"Shall we capture him?"

"Yes."


Back with Sasuke:

Sasuke was laying on a branch now, still letting his guard down and staring off into space.

Three tree branches rustled nearby, but Sasuke thought nothing of it.

Probably just some animal.

Suddenly, something whirled through the air and Sasuke was barely able to dodge in time. Fifteen shurikans.

"WHO'S THERE?!" Sasuke roared.

The Cloud Ninjas leaped out of the bushes and trees and towards Sasuke.

Sasuke jumped away from the ninjas that ambushed him but then there was suddenly a net that was above him.

Sasuke shaped his chakra into a sword and slashed through the net.

Three ninjas appeared behind Sasuke and tried to knock him out.

Sasuke ran forward and then whirled around to slash his sword through their bodies. Three ninjas fell down dead. Fifteen more ninjas to go.

Sasuke kept on fighting, but then after several minutes, Sasuke accidentally landed on a tree and broke it. But then a whole swarm of bats flew out from the tree, the tree happened to be the bats' nest.

The bats flew into Sasuke's face, blinding him. When he was able to swat them away, he was immediately knocked out in the face.


Moments Later

Sasuke woke up, and found himself having a broken nose.

"Hey, so you finally woke up, huh?" the Raikage's voice drifted.

Sasuke's view and sense came into focus. He was once more bound to a chair, his nose was bleeding, and the Raikage was standing above him, glaring.

"Wha do hoo want?" Sasuke snarled. (What do you want?)

"You're in no position to threaten me," the Raikage said icily.

"But dup." (Shut up)

The Raikage kicked Sasuke in the shin. "Hmph! If the Organization didn't ask for you in perfect condition, I wouldn't even bother healing your nose!" But then suddenly, he smiled evilly. "On the other hand, we can just say that we accidently dropped you on your way there and the ninja that were escorting you were not medical ninjas."

"Die are boo belping the Porgabization?" (Why are you helping the Organization?) Sasuke snarled.

"For power. If we help the Organization, they help us get all of the Jinchuurikus."

Naruto! Sasuke thought.

"I don't know why you don't want to go there, Uchiha. I mean, isn't your girlfriend there?"

Sasuke glared at the Raikage. "Boo are so fed wid me." (You are so dead with me.)

"Hah! What are you going to do? Insult me to death with a bad accent?"

"Vy? Doo vill dart a Binja Dar!" (Why? You will start a Ninja War!)

"The Cloud Ninja needs to become stronger and be more recognized. For ages, the Village that has been recognized was the Sand and Leaf Village! It was completely unfair. Our village name was scraped in mud when the Leaf blamed us of trying to steal the Byakugan—"

"Beduz boo did," (Because you did) Sasuke muttered.

"But now, when we take control of the Ninja world, we will be truly respected as we should be!"

"BAH! If do tade control, then we dill oderthrow do!" (BAH! If you do take control, then we will overthrow you!)

"Even if we have the help of the Organization?"

"PSH! Dey are buthing but a bunch of fugly beethes!" (PSH! They are nothing but a bunch of fugly bitches!)

"THAT DOES IT! AXEL! KNOCK HIM OUT!"

Sasuke began thrashing against his bonds but didn't break. A ninja began walking up behind him. Sasuke thrashed even harder.

"Don't bother," the Raikage said. "Those ropes are fused with my life force. As long as I'm alive, the ropes won't break unless I wish it to."

Sasuke glared at the Raikage, but that was the last thing he could do before the ninja behind him knocked him out.


Moments later (again)

Sasuke woke up again, tied up and lying on the floor of granite. It took him a while to figure he was in a cave-like cell.

Where am I?

Sasuke sniffled a bit (the cell was cold) and realized that his nose was still broken. "Do-ow," (Ow) Sasuke winced.

He stood up and began examining his cell. The cell was a pentagon shape. No windows, only a small air whole coming from the door. Sasuke walked up to his door to see if he could blast through the door. But before that, he peeked through the hole to see if anyone was outside. There was. Five people to be exact. They were all facing towards his cell as if they were expecting him to burst out any minute. Sasuke narrowed his eyes and saw that there was another group of five guards behind the current guards facing away from the cell to watch who was entering the area.

Shit. These guys won't be easy to beat.

Sasuke touched the door slightly with his bare skin, and the moment he made contact, almost all of his chakra being drained at once. And before Sasuke could pull himself away, a guard entered his room and shoved him back.

"You're lucky we were here kid. That door slows down time as your chakra is steadily released. You've been standing there for ten minutes already. Any longer and you would have died," the guard said and left.

Ten minutes? It was more like a second.

But then Sasuke looked the ground and saw that the tracks he left a while ago were old. Time did slow down.

"Yikes," Sasuke muttered. "I am so screwed."

Sasuke plopped back onto the ground. Sasuke looked around his cell. The cell was an octagonal shape with a pole in the middle of the room.

Huh. Must be the room's holding pole…

Suddenly, footsteps began pounding outside and were drawing closer and closer. The person that was walking seemed to be dragging something along. Something life sized. Both of them were groaning.

The door suddenly flew open and Rukia was standing outside.

"YOU!" Sasuke yelled.

Rukia simply glared at him and pulled forth what she was dragging: Sakura. She kicked Sakura into the room and Sakura rolled in the dirt.

"S-SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled.

Rukia stormed in the slammed the door shut.

"Satoshi died because of you," Rukia stated coldly. "And now—"

"What? He was a sore loser anyway," Sasuke snarled, rushing over to Sakura.

But Rukia got there first. The moment she placed her hands on Sakura's body, Sakura began jolting as if she was being tortured.

Sakura's lips were open as if she was groaning but she was in too much pain to say anything.

"L-let her go!" Sasuke snarled. He activated her Sharingan and was trying to make eye contact with Rukia.

Rukia didn't even look at Sasuke when she threw him a kunai at his feet. "Well? What are you waiting for?" she snapped.

Sasuke deactivated his Sharingan and stared blankly at Rukia.

"Start cutting yourself," Rukia commanded.

"W-what?" Sasuke stuttered, completely off-guard.

Rukia punched Sakura in the face.

Sasuke gripped the kunai in his hand and drew a long line down his arm. He winced in pain. He took the kunai and drew another line down his other arm. And this went on for a while. After several minutes, Sasuke's arms were covered in long slashes with blood oozing out of them.

Sasuke dropped the kunai on the floor and looked up at Rukia. She was still hanging onto Sakura's hair.

"Well? Keep going."


Several minutes later

Sasuke laid on the floor, the blood steadily flowing out of him with several healers by his side, closing the wounds.

"We won't heal you completely, but enough that you will live," they said.

Sakura, however, was lying on the ground next to him untreated and shivering in pain.

The healers stood up and left the cell as Sasuke crawled his way towards Sakura.

"S-Sakura, are you okay?" he asked.

Sakura looked into his eyes and tears began falling down her eyes.

Sasuke's blood was no longer flowing as he cradled Sakura's head into his lap. Neither of them spoke as Sasuke stroked Sakura's hair. After several seconds, Sasuke laid back too.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you," Sasuke muttered.

"It's okay," Sakura breathed. "I shouldn't have been such a burden."

Sakura suddenly began laughing.

"Huh?" Sasuke asked.

"This reminds me of the time when we were watching that meteor shower together when we were twelve."

Sasuke closed his eyes. "Yeah." He remembered that day perfectly.


"KYA! SASUKE-KUN! LOOK AT THE METEOR SHOWER OUTSIDE!" Sakura screamed outside of his room.

Sasuke jumped inside his room. How did Sakura get in his house?

The door flung open with Itachi and Sakura standing there.

"Hey, man," Itachi said. "I couldn't leave your girlfriend outside standing in the cold."

"She's not my girlfriend," Sasuke said, silently blushing on the inside.

"SASUKE-KUN, COME WATCH THE METEOR SHOWER WITH ME!" Sakura screamed. She turned to his television screen. "Ew, Halo. It's so icky when the aliens blow up."

"WHAT? IT'S AWESOME!" Sasuke snapped.

"Suuuuure," Sakura said.

"Seriously, it's like these people are part of this special military force - like my father- and they have to protect the Earth from these alien invaders – like the Uchiha clan. So then—"

"Sasuke stop showing off," Itachi yawned. "Now will the two of you go watch the meteor shower? Sasuke, it's bad to sit in front of the television screen all day long."

"Buuuut—"

Too late. Sakura already grabbed Sasuke by the hand and began dragging him outside. When Sakura opened the door, Sasuke stared up at the sky.

"Wow. It's beautiful," Sasuke muttered.

"I know," Sakura agreed.

"Just like the opening of Halo 3."

"Boys..." Sakura sighed.

The two ran out of the Uchiha property and up a hill.

"I cannot believe it!" Sakura yelled. "We're going to be graduating the Ninja Academy soon! And when we become ninjas, we'll be able to travel all over the world and see things like this!" Sakura motioned to the sky.

"Yeah," Sasuke said dreamily. "I'll be able to become like one of those Call of Duty soldiers. I can't wait."

Sakura glared at Sasuke. "Is video games all you can think of?"

"No. I think of food often."

"Honestly!"

"And I'm thinking 'thank you for bringing me out here,'" Sasuke smirked.

"Oh, you're welcome, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screamed and hugged him.

"Hn." Sasuke muttered.

The two of them fell back on the ground. Sakura was laying on Sasuke's chest.

"Uhm, Sakura?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah?"

"What if someone sees us?"

"They won't!" Sakura said cheerfully.

"Why not?"

"Because I just found this place. And when I checked all the public maps of Konoha, this place wasn't on them!"

"THIS PLACE IS A MILITARY BASE?!" Sasuke sat up immediately, staring at Sakura.

"Um, it could be, but I'm not sure. So we have to be quiet or we'll get in trouble."

"SAKURA YOU'RE AWESOME!" Sasuke screamed and laid back again. "I can't believe it! I might be laying on a secret military base RIGHT NOW! Oh man, Naruto will be so jealous."

"Boys…" Sakura sighed again.


Sakura laughed again. "You were obsessed with video games so much back then."

"Shut up," Sasuke smiled. "C'mon. I got less video game obsessed when we graduated."

"Right. Then why were you bragging to Naruto about you 300 video games you had when we were thirteen?"

"…"

"I thought so," Sakura laughed.

"Haha. Like when we were thirteen, I remember that time when Naruto was out sick a mission. And then we had to go instead and the mission was really a secret treat at the hot springs."

"Ugh! Pervert!" Sakura screamed at Sasuke. "Don't remind me of that time."

"Haha."


"Kyaaaa! THIS IS SO COOL!" Sakura screamed.

"Yeah, no Naruto here to screw things up," Sasuke smirked.

"Well have fun you two!" Kakashi said and left.

"Huh? He's not going to stay here?" Sakura asked.

"Nah. He probably has—"

"Some other mission. You're right, Sasuke."

"No. I was going to say that he was going to watch that new Make-Out Paradise movie."

"Okay, I think that that makes more sense."

As the two kept on walking, they noticed that they were the only ones there.

"Where is everyone?" Sasuke asked.

"I dunno. Do you think that Kakashi booked this spa day as a private one?"

"Probably," Sasuke muttered.

Sasuke and Sakura walked down the hall together in silence. In their minds however, Sakura was wondering whether she should tell Sasuke that she likes him.

Kya! How am I going to tell him? Sakura thought.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was thinking the same exact thing: Oh my God, should I tell Sakura I love her? (They liked each other back then, remember?)

The male and female side of the spa was up ahead. Sasuke turned right and Sakura turned left. The mistresses rushed forward to help Sasuke while Sasuke just entered the spa on his own.

In the pool, Sasuke's tub and Sakura's were right next to each other, separated by a wall.

"Well, this is boring," Sasuke cursed.

"What? This is nice and relaxing!" Sakura smiled. Cha! This is the perfect moment to dedicate my love to Sasuke-kun!

Sasuke began chatting about video games again. "Alright, so in Counter Strike it's like you go online and then just start shooting people. It's hella awesome. You have got to try it, Sakura."

"You're insane, Sasuke," Sakura muttered.

"Oh, come on. It's really fun!"

Okay, maybe I won't be telling him today, Sakura thought.

"Look, are video games all you can do?" Sakura snapped.

"No. I eat. I breathe. I sleep."

"Fool… You don't have a life do you?"

"I have a very decent life, thank you very much."

"Psh. Full of video games."

"HEY!" Sasuke yelled and punched the wall. Unfortunately, Sasuke punched the wall a bit too strong. The wall came down.

"S-SASUUUUUUUKE!" Sakura shrieked.


"You disgusting person," Sakura smiled.

"Psh, whatever."

And Sasuke and Sakura kept on talking and laughing together. The two of them began feeling safe in the cell, a spark of hope aroused in the two of them. But then the door burst open again, and the coldness reentered the room.

The guards marched in and pulled Sakura off of Sasuke and yanked Sasuke up.

Sasuke knocked the ninjas away from Sakura and said, "What do you want?"

The guards grabbed Sasuke and dragged him outside. Sasuke was about to yank them off until a boy ninja entered the room.

"Sasuke, you better follow us or else Sakura is dead with me."

Sasuke obeyed. He turned his head to see Sakura's eyes flooding with tears again. The door slammed shut.

"What do you want?" Sasuke snarled at the ninjas.

"We need you to run a few tests for us."

"Excuse me?"

"We need you to fight some test subjects for us. To see if this injection we put in them works," he answered.

"I'll help you when Naruto gets over ramen."

"Do you want Sakura to die or not? 'Cause that would be a real pity. She's hella sexy," he smirked and licked his lips.

Sasuke and the boy had a glare off.

"Funny, no matter what happens, the two boys in the story always have a stare off of who gets the girl," the boy smirked again. "My name is Daichi."

Sasuke kept on glaring at Daichi. He had black hair, a little longer than Sai's. His face was as cold as Itachi's when he was mad. But his eyes were pure evil. Just like Orochimaru. He was about Sasuke's age. Maybe a year older. His body was built like Sasuke's.

"Who are you exactly?" Sasuke snarled.

"I am the leader of the organization," Daichi whispered softly so only Sasuke could hear.

"What?"

Daichi turned towards the ninja guards around him. "Go. I can handle the Uchiha better than all of you."

The ninja guards left. As soon as they were gone, Daichi performed several hand jutsus and then changed his form. He was older, about 30 years old.

"What do you think?" he asked.

His voice was deeper. Just enough to fool any ninja to think that he was a real live leader. Daichi then changed back to his original form.

"Clever huh? This way, I can stay within my comrades and see who wants to betray me or not. I can stay in that form for a long time. It hardly requires any chakra so I don't even know my limits to my second form yet."

Sasuke glared at Daichi. "What do you want with this jutsu? It's slowly killing you," Sasuke snarled.

"It doesn't affect me as everyone else does. For some reason, it only drains chakra from my body. For others, it drains their life force."

"What? So you're just going to let everyone in this group die?"

Daichi glared at Sasuke. "It doesn't matter. If they all survive, wonderful. I will be able to continue my journey with more help than ever. If they all die, then too bad. I can just find new people."

"So you don't care."

"No. These people have served me better than I could have asked for. But this task requires sacrifices. And I am willing to make the sacrifices."

"Bitch," Sasuke snorted.

"Whatever."

Daichi cuffed Sasuke's hands and attached a chain to the front, like a leash. He began leading Sasuke down the hall way.

"What's wrong with Sakura?" Sasuke growled.

"Oh. Rukia poisoned her," Daichi grinned. "Don't worry. As long as the two of you cooperate, Rukia won't kill her."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"But don't worry," Daichi continued. "I won't let Rukia hurt her that much. I don't want to destroy that beautiful body of hers."

Eventually, the two reached an underground coliseum.

"So what do you want?" Sasuke snarled.

Daichi grinned wickedly. "Oh, I just need you to fight a few people. Considering the fact that you've defeated several of our members mean you should handle these people fine."

"What do you mean?"

"We took some of our weakest members and then injected this DNA accelerator. Now, they are faster, stronger, smarter, you name it. But there's a side effect: they will have these seizures at random moments. I had our scientist slightly alter several parts in the formula. Now, the ninjas are only affected in battle. So we need someone to make the ninjas fight against to choose which formula will cause the least amount of seizures."

"You're sick."

"No. I'm just incredibly genius and am willing to take new risks."

Sasuke spat in Daichi's face.

"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you 'cause I need you to fight. But I'm willing to order Rukia to torture Sakura," Daichi snarled.

Sasuke tried to punch Daichi in the face but then Daichi kicked him in the stomach.

"Well, I won't mind bruising you up a bit," Daichi smiled.

He took Sasuke's chains and then led him into the coliseum.


Back at Konoha (if you wanna see Sasuke and Itachi be momma's boys, don't skip this part XD)

"WHAT?! WHERE IS SASUKE?!" Gaara roared.

"Our reports say that he was kidnapped," a ninja said.

"Do you know where they took him?"

"No, sir. But there was sign of a battle."

"NO-OOOOO! MY BABY IS GONE!" Mikoto wailed. "BOTH OF THEM ARE CAPTURED! WHAT ARE THOSE VILLIANS DOING TO THEM?! THEY'RE NOT READY FOR THIS STUFF! I TOLD THEM TO BE DENTISTS! BUT NO-OOOO! THEY HAD TO BE NINJAS!!!!!"

"Mrs. Uchiha, please calm down," Lady Tsunade sighed. "Both of your sons were—"

"WERE?!"

"ARE! Both of your sons are outstanding ninjas. They will be fine," Tsunade assured.

"I still can't believe that Cloud joined them," Naruto muttered.

Mikoto, Fugaku, Ino, Shikamaru, Tenten, Hinata, Neji, Kiba, Gaara, and Naruto were all having a meeting in Tsuande's office with the Hokage.

Suddenly, Mikoto jumped out of her seat, grabbed Fugaku by the collar and began screaming, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU HA-AD TO BUY ITACHI AND SASUKE THAT 'DIEGO SAVE THE ANIMAL MISSION' COMPUTER GAME FOR THEIR THIRD BIRTHDAYS!"

"Mi-Mi-Mi-ko-ko-t-to, l-l-le-e-t, g-g-go-o-o!" Fugaku said shakily.

Mikoto released him and then began wailing.

"Um, maybe someone should take her outside," Neji said.

"NEVER!" Mikoto screamed into Neji's face suddenly. "I AM GOING TO SAVE MY BABIES! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!"

"Y-yes m-ma'am," Neji said nervously.

"Mikoto, please sit down," Tsunade said.

Mikoto sat down with a "hmph!"

"We need to find out where Sasuke, Itachi, and Sakura are," Naruto said.

Suddenly, a ninja burst through the door with twenty-five ninja hounds with him. "LADY TSUNADE!" they yelled.

"Yes?"

"WE NEED YOUR HELP. WHILE LOOKING THROUGH THE CORPSE THAT GAARA AND SASUKE HAVE KILLED, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT HE WAS DRUGGED WITH THIS FORMULA—"

"Will you stop yelling?"

"Sorry. The drug has changed his brain circuits. If you can fix the brain before the corpse will delete its memories, then we might be able to find where the organization base is."

"WONDERFUL!" Mikoto and Tsunade said at the same time while standing up.

"And while looking through several of the areas that we could identify, we've learned that the organization head quarter is actually very close to the Hidden Leaf Village."


Back with Sasuke

Rather than Daichi leading Sasuke back to his cell, a bunch of guards now dragged Sasuke's limping body back.

The fight was long. Too long. Sasuke had to fight ninja after ninja until he was on the verges of collapsing. Each ninja was talented and skilled in their own special way. And luckily for Sasuke, those ninjas he faced were the weak pathetic ones that the organization didn't need. If they were any stronger, then Sasuke would have been killed.

I have to stop them! If they drug all of their ninjas with that formula, there's no telling what they can do!

Sasuke's body was bruised all over. His limbs were covered in long, fatal slashes. Blood was steadily flowing from his body.

When they reached towards Sasuke's cell, Sasuke was able to hear screaming. Sakura screaming's.

His eye widened in fear as the guards knocked the door open, and Sasuke saw that Rukia was in there, grabbing Sakura by the hair and swinging her head around.

"S-Sakura!" Sasuke cried out.

Rukia dropped Sakura onto the ground and then sneered at Sasuke. "What are you gonna do about it, punk? You kill my boyfriend. I torture your girlfriend. It's a fair trade, right?"

"Get out," Sasuke snarled at Rukia and charged at her.

Rukia just kicked Sasuke in and then said, "C'mon. Let's leave the two love birds alone."

Sasuke crawled over to where Sakura was laying. "Sakura, are you okay?"

Sakura was simply laying there gasping in pain.

As he cradled Sakura's head in his lap, Sasuke felt the hot tears beginning to stir in his eyes. He looked down and saw that Sakura had fallen asleep. Sasuke pulled Sakura's entire body into him for comfort and quietly began sobbing. His wounds were still hurting and his bleeding was only beginning to cease. Sakura was weakened and sleeping so he couldn't count on her to heal him, and the two of them can be murdered as they were asleep.

Some body guard I am.

Sasuke just sat there, holding Sakura and wishing that he and Sakura never had that fight. That he and Sakura were still friends. That he had never tried to leave the village to go to Orochimaru in the first place.


Back at Konoha

"There, we've decoded the ninja's brain, Shizune."

"Excellent. Now all we need to do is to enter the ninja's mind. Ibiki!" Shizune waved.

A ninjas came over and placed his hands onto the corpse's head. But as soon as Ibiki began to concentrate, he opened his eyes in fear, fell to the ground, and began heavily panting.

"IBIKI! What's wrong?" Shizune asked.

Ibiki simply stared into space with his mouth wide open.

~Moments later~

A scream erupted from the Konoha research facility. "SHIZUNE! IBIKI!" Tsunade's voice rang.


IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ TO SEE ABOUT KISS SCENE, AND SEVERAL LOOPS THAT I DID NOT COVER YET IN THIS STORY!!!

SM123: Muahahaha. Cliff hanger. Yes I love all of you too XD.

If you had no idea what that last part was about, you'll have to wait until the next chapter comes out. XD 'Cause it's like if I was to simply put that Tsunade and the others found out where the organization was, the story would end waaaaaaaaaaay to early. Like three chapters earlier. No, no, no. =] I love you all too much to end the story too early.

Lol, this chapter was kinda hard for me to write. 'Cause I had to see if I wanted to put the kiss scene into this chapter or not. And I chose not to. Will it be in the next chapter? Well, I know the answer, and you have to read it to find out XD.

Sasuke: Evil.

SM123: *Bows*

Haha, if I was to put the kiss scene in this chapter, then this chapter would've been longer than the previous chapter. And I don't think you guys would've like to wait that long to read one chapter.

WOOOOOOT! I AM CURRENTLY AT 99 REVIEWS!!! 1 MORE TILL 100!!! KEEP THE REVIEWS UP PEOPLES!

I would like to thank each and every one of you that reviewed. Half way through this chapter, I kinda lost my enthusiasm to write so I took a month long break (which is why this chapter took a while). But then one of you reviewed in three chapters (forgot who though -_-) and then I was all pumped up again and then I began writing again. So I would like to thank that person =]

Another thing: my friend was talking to me about my story. And she caught something that I'm still laughing about. She asked me this: "If they could control time, why can't the organization simply go back in time and kill them all when they were still babies?" HILLARIOUS! I loved it. But there's actually a reason: The jutsu takes your life span (but in Daichi's case, chakra). So if you were to use that jutsu to the extreme, then it would sap all of your life span and kill you (and as for Daichi, it would take all of hi chakra and still kill him). So they can't do that =]. And the fact that this jutsu is still being developed: so far, it can only freeze time. It can't go back in time. Yet. Keep reading to see if Daichi does manage to develop the jutsu.

Okay, yeah… the important part is over now…

Anyway, I'm trying out for the basketball team in my school. So wish me luck! =]

Sasuke: No.

But uhm, yeah. Like I said in the beginning, I'm becoming more and more busy every day. But I'll keep writing. I promise.

SEE YOU GUYS NEXT CHAPTER! =]
