A/N: Does anyone else have the irrational fear of forgetting hoe to read? No? Just me? Okay. So this is an apology for that pathetic thing I called a chapter yesterday.
Recomendation:
Is xmen evolution pairing Kurt Wagner and Scott Summers
Carum Seshat venio ad te ut accipiat te sibi potestatem ades. Dinare me da mihi eum memoriae omnis hic locus donari per duodecimam= Dear Seshat, I come to thee to ask you to lend me your power. Allow me to grant the one before me their memories. Let all in this room be gifted by the twelfth hour.
(With the group)
"Oh no! What are we going to do!?" Hinata screamed. "Did you see that! Naruto fell through the floor!" Sakura yelled. "Someone turn on the lights!" Ino shouted. "Will you three shut up! We need a plan." Neji said silencing them all "Quick back up batteries." Neji ordered. Everyone did as told and refilled their flashlights.
They soon all had their flashlights on. "Okay first things first we have to find Naruto. He could be anywhere so our best option is to split up and find him. Now let's not act like we haven't lost him before. Everyone in your usual groups." Shikamaru said. Everyone got in their groups. Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro together. Neji, Lee, and Tenten together. Hinata, Kiba, and Shino together. Choji, Shikamaru, and Ino. Sakura by herself. Hiruzen would stay behind just incase Naruto came back and the fact if the Pharaoh was to find him then his old legs wouldn't make it far.
"Sakura are you sure your fine by yourself." Lee asked worriedly. "Yeah, what if the Pharaoh finds you?" Kankuro added. "I'll be fine. I move faster on my own." Sakura responded with a smile that wasn't so reassuring. Everyone gave unconvinced looks, but let it drop. "If anyone is in trouble use your walkie-talkie to alert someone." Hiruzen said sending aside glance to Sakura.
He had seen how the pharaoh looked at her the last time they were there. It was filled with pure hate and vengeance. Hiruzen was quite worried about her safety. If the Pharaoh found her she wouldn't last more than two seconds.
With that they were all of in their own directions. Talkie's at the ready as they all journeyed into the tomb.
(With Naruto)
Naruto screamed all the way down. Letting out a pain groan as he finally landed on the dirt. "Ouch! Man where am I?" Naruto to groaned out as he servaid his surroundings. He was in the same room that he had woken the pharaoh in. It was just as beautiful as he remembered it. Naruto was glad to see all the lanterns on allowing him to turn off his flashlight. Saving the battery for later. Naruto gazed around seeing the very exit they had use last time for the escape. The same triangular door conveniently open for his exit. Naruto grinned making a break for the door only to run into someone nocking them both down. He rubbed his head looking up to see across from him a certain pharaoh staring at him with an equally shocked look.
(With Sakura)
Sakura might have said she was okay with going off on her own, but in reality she was utterly terrified. But she had to do this. Since the moment Sakura had met Naruto she has felt... indebted to him. Like she owed him for something she did. She just couldn't figure out what. All she knew for sure was he was her friend and needed her help. Sakura so deep in her thoughts didn't realize where she was. She had made it all the way back to the coffin room. Maybe if she went in she could find the arrow! them saving Naruto would be much easier. Sakura made her way in stopping in her tracks when she saw the pharaoh and Naruto facing one another. She quickly hid behind the nearest statue. She quickly took out her Talkie and switched it to text made. Sending everyone a message of the current situation. Before putting it away and watching the scene before her.
(Little before with Naruto)
The pharaoh suddenly stood from his place on the ground startling Naruto. When he was up he smiled down at Naruto offering his hand to him to help him up. Naruto still in fear backed away as far as he could. Sasuke gave a puzzled look. He was still running from him? But why? There was no one here to make him.
Then it finally hit Sasuke. Naruto didn't remember him. In the past Orchimaru had said something like this would happen and prepared Sasuke for such an event. Sasuke suddenly felt guilty about scaring those people from before. They were probably Naruto's friends... and Sasuke scared the living hell out of them... ooops. Sasuke promptly picked him up and standing him on his feet. Naruto gave a startled cry.
"Don't worry I won't hurt you." Sasuke said soothingly. Knowing Naruto probably didn't understand him, but hoping his tone of voice was enough. It seemed to be as Naruto's shoulders began to relax. Once Sasuke was sure he was fine he began farming hand signs and chanting "Carum Seshat venio ad te ut accipiat te sibi potestatem ades. Dignare me da mihi eum memoriae omnis hic locus donari per duodecimam." Sasuke chanted.
A burst of light filled the room. The enchantment effecting all in the room including a certain pink headed girl hiding behind a statue. When the light cleared Sasuke smiled at Naruto. "At the strike of 12 tonight your memories will come back to you. Then you will know you've nothing to fear from me. We can be together again." Sasuke reached out to caress Naruto's cheek only to be stopped by a scream. "No!" Sakura yelled.
Naruto and the pharaoh turned to see all of Naruto's friends staring at them all tooking quite fearful for Naruto. Sakura was at front being the one to scream. At the sight of her Sasuke's rage return. Again she interrupts his precious moment with Naruto! This was getting old. Naruto's friends all charged at the pharaoh. Sasuke easily dogged. Nocking them out swiftly.
Avoiding seriously hurting them remembering they were potentially Naruto's friends. Besides Sasuke's main target right now was Sakura. He had to kill her how before she could ever hurt his love again. Kiba grabbed the arrow on the coffin cutting his hand slightly before covering the tip with it. He charged the pharaoh.
Sasuke easily disarmed him kicking the arrow away as it slid to Naruto's foot who was to stunned to do anything. Sasuke nocked Kiba out him being the last. Sasuke direct his rage filled eyes to Sakura who was currently on her knees. The sight of all her friends out leaving her motionless.
Sasuke went over to a statue taking it's spear before slowly making his way over to Sakura. Try to drag out her fear. Making sure she knew just how much he hated her. Naruto looked on in fear. he had to do something. The pharaoh was going to kill his friend... but he had been so gentle and kind with him. "Do you really want to take that risk." Shino's earlier words came back to Naruto as he watch the pharaoh get closer to Sakura. Naruto's face harden. He knew what he had to do.
He gripped the arrow in his hand coating it in his blood. Before he rushed the pharaoh. Sasuke felt a sharp pain through his chest. He slowly turned his head around to see Naruto. The only person he loved more than anything stabbing an arrow through his chest. Sasuke's knees buckled as he began to fall.
Naruto caught him at the last second dropping to his own knee's he cradled the pharaoh head in his arms. Something wet trailed down his face. Tear? He was crying. But why? This was the right thing to do wasn't it? He should be happy he saved his friend. Sasuke looked up at him with a look of understanding and a sad smile.
"If I remember correctly last time our positions were reversed." Sasuke coughed up blood causing more tears to run down Naruto's face. Sasuke smiled again. Though it looked rather grim with the trail of blood running down his chin. "Don't cry love. I know you can't understand nor remember me. But I want you to know it's not your fault." with those words Sasuke closed his eyes letting the darkness consume him.
Naruto then proceeded to break down. He cradled the pharaoh closer to him. Why did it hurt so much? He didn't even know him. He even had tried to kill one of his friends. So why did it hurt? Naruto felt a hand on his shoulder he looked up seeing Sakura sending him a sympathetic look. She pulled him into a hug. Letting him cry out all his feelings.
Sakura felt really bad for Naruto. He was a very sensitive boy. There's no telling what something like killing someone could do to him. So she let him cry. She let him pour out everything till he had no more tears left. They stood in silence for a while Sakura just holding Naruto.
"We should put him back in the coffin." Naruto whispered out. Sakura nodded and together they heft the pharaoh up placing him back in the coffin. Removing the arrow from his chest and crossing his arms over it. They stared down at him for a while. he looked as if he had never risen at all.
Naruto and Sakura turned to the sound of groans. Their friends were wake. Once they were all up they notice the now dead pharaoh. "You did it..." Kiba gasped out. Huge smiles stretched across everyone's face "You did it!" Kiba screamed hoots and howls went all around. It was over. Finally over.
(Later that evening)
When they left the tomb they all went out to celebrate. They went down to the beach till it was about ten. At that time events from the day started to catch up with them. Naruto who had been quite solemn the whole day was first to go to sleep.
Late at night when everyone was in deep sleep. Naruto spent his night tossing and turning as in his dreams memories of events flashed under his eyelids. Naruto woke woth a gasp. Looking to his right out of habit he looked at the time. 12:00. He remembered. Naruto bent over and began to cry mire then he ever has in both his lives.
(In the Tomb)
Deep in the tomb. Through the twist and turns of the dark halls in a coffin room. Pitch black eyes open as the black haired mummy raises with a gasp for air.
