Death's Last Chance

Death is in definition the end of a bringing. It's a fleeting thought in our minds every once in awhile that never resurface until the end comes. Death is something many take for granite. Never does one notice life slip through the crack of our fingers. The more we try to hold onto it the more it pours out from the side. Death is like an oncoming storm that piles at you without any means of stopping it. And now that I face death, I can't say I blame people who fear it. The attachment to life becomes too great and desperation to live becomes overpowering.

Life….I never dreamed that it would end so soon. I never imagined that I would see this happen. The questions that wonder in your mind as you can feel life slip way. Was any of it worth it? Did I fight for nothing at all?

Was my life meaningless?

I know I won't get those answers. I know that I never will.

I can no longer see…

I can no longer feel….

I can no longer breathe….

Is this what death feels like…. Sasuke-kan?

"Do you think it wise?" Asked Naruto as he watched Kakashi. He was standing guard in front of Sasuke's sleeping body.

"No, but at this point I don't know that to do anymore." He sighed out as he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a book. Naruto looked over to him with an eyebrow raised.

"What is that?" he asked as the cover showed a man running after a woman.

"My thinking guide." He muttered.

"Thinking guide?" asked Naruto as he heard Gaara give a chuckle off at the side. Minato looked over to Kakashi with his eyebrow raised in question to his sanity. Naruto started to read over his shoulder to see what secrets the book might hold. At one point in his reading his eyes became the size of a bowling ball. "That's a porno book!" he yelled out as Gaara busted out laughing and Minato hit his forehead with his hand. Gaara's laughter then died down as they all looked at each other. Even though they laughed about such a small thing the gravity of the situation still settled in their stomachs like acid.

They didn't know what to do.

Sasuke at the moment was placed under a sleeping spell by his mother in order to control his wounds that were so many that it was a miracle he was alive. Itachi was also in some sort of trance dance between life and death. And last there was Sakura who was still inside Gaara's seal cage. But the fact of the matter was that person inside the cage wasn't Sakura any more. In fact she didn't even look human for that matter. Her soft pink hair and turned a few shades darker almost making them look red in color. Her eyes had gone for jade green and smoldering black. Her hands had change as well along with her skin tone. She was becoming more and more scale like as time passed back. Two red marking lined her eyes. She wasn't anything close to human anymore. Her eyes would look on at the ebony guards with malice and coldness.

All ebony guard stood guard in front of her cycler cell. They were all waiting for something to happen. Something that would help them understand what really was happening. It was now a matter of waiting as to who would wake up first.

"What do you think we should do?" Mikoto asked as she looked over to Minato. Minato sighed out loudly as they all looked over to him for answers. He was about to open his mouth to explain when out of nowhere Ino, Shikamaru and Iruka appeared in the room with a faint pop sound as all the ebony guards weapons were on them the instant they appeared.

"Stand down."Kakashi ordered as the weapons were lowered. Ino looked around frighten as Shikamaru looked around with calculating eyes. Iruka looked over to Kakashi as a smile broke out on his face.

"Kakashi?" he asked as Kakashi lifted an eyebrow.

"Iruka?" he asked as the man nodded in agreement and the two men clasped hands.

"It's been so long!" Iruka exclaimed as he looked around at the ebony guards. His eyes then stopped in front of Minato who was looking at them with a peaceful glance. "Your highness!" he stated as he looked at Minato then over to the Mikoto. " Goddess?" he asked in shock. Mikoto nodded her head once and Minato smiled at Iruka.

"I take it that we all know each other?" Gaara asked sarcastically as they looked over to him. "You were saying your highness?" he asked as Minato seem to remember that he was speaking.

"We need to wait until they wake up in order to find out what really happen. For now we are in no danger as long as Sakura is inside the cell."

"What do you mean a Cell?" yelled Ino for the first time as she looked around the room. All the demons looked at each other until Hinata stepped forward.

"Come Ino we need to talk." She told her as she took Ino out of the room. Shikamaru looked around before he spoke.

"I take it that the worse has happened and that Sakura's body was taken hostage by Madara?" he asked as Minato rose an eyebrow.

"How do you know?"

"A gut feeling." He muttered as he looked over to Gaara.

"Where is the other member of your party?" asked Neji as he seems to be the only one to notice that Tenten was missing.

"She jumped away when we transported here. I believe she is after the man that had her captured when she was smaller." Shikamaru explained.

"Where have you been all this time?" asked Kakashi as Shikamaru looked sheepish at him.

"Long story short just about everywhere." He muttered as his hand ran over the hand of the blade that one man had given him. He then remembered his promise. Taking out the blade he presented it to Kakashi. "A demon with five earrings told me to give this to you." He explained as Kakashi looked at the sword. At first he only looked surprised to see the sword then anger clouded his eyes for a second, before he took the sword out of Shikamaru's hands. As soon as kakashi's hand came in contact with the sword the blade turned bright red.

"Did that demon say anything else?" he asked as his grip on the handle tightens.

"Just that you would know the sword better." Shikamaru explained as everyone looked at Kakashi. "Sir do you know that demon he wore five earrings." Muttered Shikamaru as he couldn't believe what he was saying. Kakashi was silent for a moment.

"Only five?" he asked as Shikamaru nodded. "He's missing 5 of them then." He muttered

"Five?" Shikamaru almost shouted

"He has ten earrings." Kakashi said with a sigh as Minato seem to know that he was talking about.

"He's a being that split himself in two, dividing his power in half." Explained Kakashi. "It's all a game to him. He splits himself in half and lets the other half run free then hunts them down to reunite the two halves and do the same thing all over again."

"Gakuto has always been strange." Minato sighed out. "But at least he's returned what you lost Kakashi."

"How can a person split themselves in two?" asked Gaara as he crossed his arms as the other members of Ebony nodded.

"Well….We don't know." Kakashi answered.

"We believe it's an ability only he can perform. It's almost like he splits his soul in two. Gives a new meaning to the word soul mate." Minto Sighed out.

"That can't be physically possible." Gaara pointed out. " The ability to split oneself in half right down to the soul is not possible." He instead as he cross his arms.

"That's what we said until we saw it." Muttered Kakashi as the memory of that day came back to him. He shuddered at the memory.

"So what does this sword have to do with it?" asked Gaara as he looked at it. "It looks like a first class officer weapon." Again Kakashi shuddered at the thought of the sword.

"Gackuto has…a twisted sense of humor." Muttered Minato as he looked down. If they never seen Kakashi angry then this was going to be the closest they ever seen him close to strangling someone. His hands were in a white knuckle grip, his eyes had dilated to small points. Gaara being the every curious person invited himself into Kakashi's mind. The images of a man filled him mind as the man seem to be looking at Gaara from the memory Kakashi was having. The man had black hair and piercing blue eyes. He looked too perfect for even a demon. If anything Gaara was bewitched with the man and he didn't swing for the other team. He could see the man go up to kakashi who was holding the sword out in front of him. He smirked at Kakashi as he walked into the sword stabbing himself all the way to the hilt with the same smile on his face as Kakashi looked completely shell shocked.

The man didn't give Kakashi any indications of his actions before he performed it. Taking advantage of Kakashi surprise the mad man kissed kakashi without warning. Even if Kakashi wore a mask the man knew the Kakashi could feel his lips a he pulled back after he was satisfied that he had terrified Kakashi enough. Kakashi was in such at total shock that he released the sword then fell back on his ass. Gaara couldn't believe what he was watching as the man took the sword and pulled it back out. The blade glowed a bright red before it dimmed back to the normal color of steel.

"Thanks for the sword." He told him as his voice seems to bounce around in the memory. Goosebumps started appearing on Gaara's arms as he watch the memory fade away. The voices of the other demons came back to picture as he could hear them talking about something but he had been so lost in Kakashi's memory that he missed most of the conversation. Kakashi's was glaring at him as Gaara tried a weak smile but only broke it halfway though as the memory assaulted his thoughts. Instead Gaara blushed as red as his own hair.

"What's wrong Gaara? Are you feeling sick?" asked Neji as Gaara looked around to see the all the ebony guard was looking at him.

"No!" he yelled and only noticed his mistake after he made it.

"I think Gaara is hiding something." Snickered Neji as Gaara's face stated turning red again.

"Agh!" came itachi's yell of pain as they all looked over to his bed side where Kisame and Hiden where at. Itachi was glaring daggers at Hiden who in turn was smiling like a man caught stealing.

"I told you not to." Muttered Kisame

"I didn't think he would miss the pinky." He muttered as Itachi weak as he was looked like was ready to kill him.

"Itachi!" yelled his mother as she ran over to him. Itachi looked frighten for a moment before his mother enclosed him in a hug. He looked lost for a moment before coming to terms to what was happening.

"Mother?" he asked as she pulled back and looked at him. Tears were going down her cheeks only to fall down and turn into diamonds the demons all scattered from the bedside as soon as they saw it.

"I thought you were dead." She cried as she brushed away tears that transformed into diamonds.

"So did I." he confessed as he looked around in bewilderment. He could feel a weird energy in the room as he looked around but couldn't find the source. He could see all the ebony guards plus Minato and Naruto. He could see Sasuke in the room on one of the beds by the window. But the energy didn't seem to come out of anyone in the room. It felt like it was coming out of the air it's self. The ebony guards looked badly beaten and most everything in the room was destroyed. What had happen he asked himself as he looked at Gaara.

In a blink of an eye Gaara passed all the information to Itachi. Instantly Itachi looked to where the guards were standing around. There he could see the dome and the black eyes looking back at him. A horrible smile curled on her lips. Fear ran down his spine as he looked at the monster looking back at him. He tried to get up but Kisame stopped him.

"It's best that you don't move too much." Kakshi advised as he came into view. "We don't know what happen to you but you been running fevers ever since we found you."

"We believe you've been under that things influence for a good while." Minato explained as they all looked over to Sakura at once. She gave a creepy smile showing a new set of razor sharp teeth. A few of the ebony guards shuddered. Itachi looked at the women closer as two and two started to come together in his head.

"That girl…." He half whispered to himself.

"That is your brother's mate." Kisame inputted with a sad smile as Itachi took in the gravity of the situation. "Sasuke." He said the name softly as he tried to get up again and Kisame went back to stop him but Itachi grabbed his arm and used it to get up. Everyone watched as he hobbled over to where the ball kept the trapped woman. He walked as close as he could to it and looked at her in the eyes.

"Madara." he hissed slightly as Sakura smiled at him.

"Brat." She hissed back as she pressed herself to the walled of the round cell until she was face leaved with Itachi. "I told you I would get my way." She taunted as she touched the walls in front of Itachi's face. "I always get my way brat no matter how many time you try to stop me." She claimed as Itachi looked her dead in the eyes as if he was looking for something. When he couldn't find it he backed away from the cell almost like it had shocked him. Sakura smiled that crooked smile showing her fangs. "There is nothing to stopping me now" she told him with another grinned at Itachi as he stumbled back and Kisame caught him. The look of fear played on his face as he looked at the black eyes looking back at him. It was almost like he was reading his mind again as tried to back farther away.

"Itachi? What's wrong?" asked his mother she came to his side. Itachi looked at Sakura a bit longer before looking at him mother with hollow eyes.

"He…." He stated to say but the words seem to fail him as he looked over to Sasuke who was oblivious to everything that was happening around them. A lump seemed to form in his throat as he looked back to his mother.

"Killed who?" asked Gaara as he walked up to Itachi. Itachi looked over to Gaara for a second before the thoughts traveling down his mind hit the mind reader. His eyes went over to Sakura in the cell for a second as if he too was trying to look for something that he wasn't finding. His eyes became bigger for a faction of a second before he too walked to the cell and looked at Sakura closer.

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?" asked Naruto as he got frustrated with the lack of information.

"We have to keep this thing away from the prince." Informed Gaara as he looked over to the ebony guards. "That thing has killed off the human host." He informed them as the news sunk in. They looked over to the prince instantly. He was still passed out under the spell that was healing him.

"It doesn't matter if we move them apart he'll find her." Kakashi pointed out .

"Are you sure the host is dead Gaara?" asked Minato as he walked over to the cell. Sakura sneered at him like a cat would a dog.

"I can't hear sir." He told them as Minato looked at the cell.

"Kakashi." Minato ordered as the man came forward.

"Yes sir?"

"Go to the find a woman with white hair and red eyes."

"Sir?"

"Bring her to me."

"Yes sir." He answered as he placed his fist to his hart and bowed before he left the room.

"You think you can stop me Minato?" hissed Sakura as Minato looked over to her.

"You're a fool if you think that I will let you win."

"Ah but that is where you'll be wrong Minato I've all ready won." She sneered.

"The last card is yet to be played." He answered as he turned his back to the thing in the cell. "he must not escape." He informed. "All of you take turns guarding over him. Itachi and Mikoto I will need you two to look over Sasuke so that he won't do anything rash." Ordered Minato as he walked over to Sasuke's bedside.

"What about the girls what do we tell them?" asked Naruto as shikamaru nodded his head in agreement. Minato stayed silent for a moment as he looked over to Sasuke.

"Don't tell them anything." He muttered with sadness in his voice.

"We can't just not tell them! They are our mates." Hissed Naruto as he walked up to his father.

"I never told you to lie to them, I just told you not to tell them." Answered his father. " At this moment we don't know for certain that Sakura is dead. " he explained.

"And how do you suggest that we find out by letting that thing rip apart her friends?" yelled Naruto as anger could be seen in his blue eyes that where slowly becoming red.

"That is why he called for me." Came a calm voice as everyone looked over to the door where Kakashi and the women with the white hair stood.

"Can you sense the women's soul?" asked Minato as the women looked over to him then over to the cell and from there she looked over to Sasuke.

"Her soul is no longer in that body." Answered the women. " Her soul now lies with him." she explained as she pointed at Sasuke.

"Can she be save?" asked Minato

"I can't know for sure." She answered "My other half perhaps might know." She told them.

"Can you call to him?"

"Yes, I can but he won't be too happy about it."

"Gackuto can try to kill me later." Minato hissed as the women smiled and closed her eyes then opened them again only the color had changed to bright blue. Her appearance began to change as her white hair became black her smaller frame got bigger as she stood just over 5'7. She looked at everyone as she pulled her hair out of her eyes and into a ponytail. Her body over all had changed from flat to holy curves before their eyes.

"holy…." Muttered Kisame

"Wow…."

"Oh god.." hissed Kakashi as he brought his hand to his face.

"I can see why he's looking for you now." Muttered Shikamaru

"He's looking for me for other reason beside a game." She told them as she walked over to the cell where Sakura sneered at her. "I don't like getting involved with things like this Minato." She told them as Minato seem unaffected by her.

"I didn't have much of a choice."

"One always has a choice Minato, I don't know how long it will take me to find my other half he's the one the hunts me not the other way around. In the mean time I would suggest that you keep that boy away from this cell."

"How long till you come back?"

"Like I pointed out before I don't hunt him he hunts me." She said before disappearing in a blink of an eye.

"What the hell was that all about?" asked Naruto

"She'll find Gackuto and bring him here to see if he can split that thing from Sakura's body."

"What good will that do us?" asked Shikamaru

"It gives us time to kill Madara once and for all." He said as he looked over to Sakura. Sakura still smiled like a crazy person.

"Tick tock Minato…." She laughed as Minato pointed two fingers at her and the cell float up in the air.

"Time to put you in the dark where no one can find you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Elsewhere~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So it wasn't the smartest plan but it was better than nothing. Tenten hunched closer roof as she watch the people walk back and forth from the red district. She had a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach as she watched men wolf whistle at women. They would put their hands down the girl's skirts in search for their own filament while the girl put up with it because then knew no other life then the one they lead. Tenten looked around as she felt her stomach squirm. She used to be like one of them. She placed her hand on the knife to her side.

She would end this.

Taking a deep breath she jumped down to the street and pulled her hood over her head as she walked down the street with a purpose.

"Hey sweet thing how about a licking?" asked a man that got in her way. She put her hand on his shoulder and pressed a pressure point making him fall to the ground.

"How about you lick the ground." She hissed as she went on her way. She got to a large house at the end of the block. The house seems to be visited the most as she watched men walk in by the dozens. It had to be here or at least they knew where he was hiding. She walked with a propose into the house as she could hear men's laughter and women moaning of pain. The memories that hunted her came back in a horrible frenzy as she pushed through the doors.

"Come one come all!" came a loud boost from the main room in the home. "Come witness the deflowering of our two latest conquest!" came a man's voice as Tenten followed the voice to the main room where two young girl no older than 13 kneeled beside the man shouting. They were twins one of them had ears on top of her head that looked very cat like. They were crying as they huddled together and looked frighten at the men around them. "Who will be the lucky man? Who will pay for the honor of breaking in our two new whores?" the man went on as Tenten's blood seems to boil. The man grabbed onto the one twin with cat ears as she squeaked in pain as the man pressed her body to his front. "This one feels like she will enjoy the screaming." He sneered as the men around him laughed.

The twins cried harder as the girl with the cat ears tried to move out of the man grasp. He laughed in her ear as he tossed her to the men on the other side who grabbed at her like raving wolfs. The girl scream out in horror as Tenten didn't wait any longer. Taking her dagger she stabbed the first man she could reach that was grabbing on to the twin. The man yelled out in pain as he dropped his hold on the girl. Next Tenten Slashed at other man who yelped and moved away instantly. The other men were so distracted by their sheer lust that they didn't notice the other two men fall away. Yet the next blow that Tenten made took the point home. She stabbed the man right in the forehead and that got the rest of the room to pay attention as she pulled the knife out and plunged it into another man. Instantly like roaches under the light they scattered.

Some angry others frighten as Tenten stood there with blood dripping off the knife she used. The twin girl was curled on the floor with her clothing ripped off as the other twin crawled over to where other was.

"What the hell is wrong with you bitch do you want a fuck too?" yelled one of the angry men

"You want to fuck something? Try fucking yourselves." She hissed as another man went at her she dodged and stabbed him in the stomach. The man started to fall over when Tenten Kicked him in the face. "Come on, I dare you to." She hissed as four men went at her. She got the crazed look in her face as she went at them. In a twisted dance she slashed plunged and killed everyone that came at her splattering herself with blood. Her face dripped with it as men all over the house stopped what they were doing and started to run out of the house. Women barely clothed walked into the room where Tenten stood. Their eyes had the etch of horrors that they had seen. The twins still huddled together as they hugged each other for protection. Only one man was still in the brothel it was the man that was selling the two twins. Tenten walked over to him and grabbed him by the shirt.

"Where is he?" she hissed as the men looked at her with malice before he spat in her face. Tenten anger doubled as she grabbed her knife and pointed it at the one spot she knew he valued more. "I won't ask again tell me or you will be much more less of a man then you where before." She threaten as he didn't seem to believe that she would do such a thing. To make him see her point Tenten pushed the dagger into his waist and started to go lower. The look of fear came over the man as she pushed it in deeper.

"I don't know!" he yelled as she pierced skin.

"Lair…. And for that answer you're going to play the price."

"NO! He's down stairs! The dungeons!" he shouted as Tenten pulled out the knife and dropped him on the floor. He grabbed his crouch as he glared daggers at Tenten. He tried to pull out a knife out of his pocket when Tenten turn around and throw the knife in her hand at him. The knife stabbed it's self in his hand as he cried out.

"I let you live for now, don't make me kill you." She hissed as she walked away down to the stairs as the women watched her go. She took the steps two at a time as her hand clutched to her Knives. A hard determination was etched in her eyes as she walked down the long corridor when she could hear a whip being used and a person yelling out in pain. Taking hold of her knives she came to the door where the noise was coming from.

"Pleases!" cried out the person as the whip came down again. They yelled out as Tenten tried to block out the images. The door was open as she pushed the door slightly as she could see a body on the floor cringing away from a whip that lashed at their body.

"I never know a demon to be such a coward." Came his voice. The blood in Tenten veins seem to freeze over.

"I'm not a demon! I'm not a demon!" they chanted as the whip came down again on them.

"Silence!" he roared as he grabbed the person by the hair and placed them to their knees. Tenten now had a closer look at the person to find out it was a boy. He was bleeding and looked like he had been starved for far too long. His hair was an amber color on his cheeks where two swirls. He looked to be no older then Tenten was. He had been stripped of his shirt so that the whip would break skin. He was shackled to the ground bound by his hands and feet. "Please me and I will let you eat!" he said as the blood seem to drain out of the boy.

Tenten had heard enough as she burst through the door. And there he stood in all him menacing glory. The cruel smile he had minutes before faded to one of distaste. Releasing the boy's hair he looked over to Tenten. She looked at the Scar that ran down his cheek that went to his chest. That should have killed him when Sakura inflected it but he hadn't died, he survived. "Look who's come home." He hissed as he took as step closer to Tenten. She pulled out a knife fast then anyone could blink and pointed it at him.

"Come closer and I kill you where you stand."

"You came here to kill me anyway." He mused as he took another step. "So how is my favorite whore? Have you been spreading you legs to every man you meet?" he asked as Tenten'a anger hit a new record. "After all you were the best whore I've ever had the pleasure of breaking." He boosted as Tenten's fear stated to show up. "Especially when you yell out…." He started but Tenten couldn't hear any more of it. She went at him with the fencer of raging bull and knocked him on his ass, yet he didn't go down alone. Together on the ground they struggled with each other trying to best one another. At the end his strength won out over hers. He pinned her under him with her hand trapped over her head. "Isn't it just like old times?" He boasted as painful memories assaulted Tenten's mind.

"No!" she yelled as she struggled to move. She couldn't let history repeat its self. She was stronger than before much stronger but at the moment she felt his hand run up her leg she felt like that helpless little girl again. She tried again to buck him off but to no avail. She was going to be his toy again because she was reckless. She wanted to cry at her frustration but she couldn't let herself do it.

"Ten! What are you doing fight!" came a voice that she knew. She struggled again but again she was pinned

"I do love the fact that you give me a fight. In fact fight me with everything you've got." He laughed

"TEN!" she could hear someone yelled. "You're stronger then this! He doesn't own you!" came the voice again. She knew that voice anywhere. She looked at the man face and saw the angry red scar. "You're stronger than anyone I know Tenten fight!" She could feel him ripping her shirt as reality came back to her. Using her leg she wrapped them around his waist then slammed them to her left side throwing him off of her. She scrambled to her knees as she tried to get her knife only to have him grab her ankle and drag her back to him. Her fingers grasped the hilt as she turned to face him.

They wrestled for the knife as Tenten tried to stab him only for him to dodge. He twisted her hand enough to make her drop the knife as she tried to grab it before he did. The knife skidded next to her discarded sword he made a dive for the knife as Tenten grabbed the hilt of the sword just as he stabbed her. She stopped moving for a second before the pain took over. Her hand rested on the hilt of her sword as he pulled the knife and was about to plunge it again when Tenten pulled out the hidden knife from her sword and plunged it into his heart. He looked shocked as he looked down at his chest to see the hilt of the sword blade in his heart. He then dropped to the side with his eyes glazed over.

Tenten tried to pull herself up but the pain on her side made her cringe. She looked at the wound on her side and sighed out in irritation. It wasn't a flesh wound like she had hoped. Mastering all her strength Tenten got herself to her feet. Blood poured from her wound as she leaned her face on the wall. The pain was unbearable as she tried to move again but her body refused to move.

"Please stop moving." Came the voice of the boy at the end of the room. He was battered and bruised all over, yet he hobbled over to where Tenten was standing. Tenten growled at him as he flinched slightly away. He seems to think through his oppositions and squared his shoulders. "You're hurt and need medical attention!" he yelled at her as Tenten looked taken back for a moment.

"Did you bite your tongue kid your worse off than I am." She sighed out as she let her whole body lean on the wall behind her. The boy tied to make sure she didn't get hurt as her body slide back to the ground.

"I'm fine." He told her as he tried to get close to the wound but she growled at him. "I need to look at it." He hissed at her as they glared at each other for a second before pain ripped through Tenten. Taking the chance the boy lifted her shirt. "It looks like a clean cut." He muttered. "I can fix this if you stop moving!" he yelled at Tenten who stated to sweat. She glared at him again but he looked back at her not once flinching of her stare.

"What you name Kid?" she asked as he looked her striate in the eye.

"Choji, my name is Choji. And I'm no kid human." He answered as Tenten could see two ear rings one on each ear.

"You're a demon Choji?" she asked as he fiddled with something tied around his shoe.

"Hardly I'm a half demon." He muttered as he pulled a small ball the size of grape and to a bite off the edge. He chews on it for a minute before he spit it out on his hand. He used his pointer and index finger to mix the small blob into a sticky paste. Taking his pointer finger he grabbed a small portion of the mixture and applied it on side of her cut. Tenten hissed out in pain but held in the yell she wanted to shout. He kept applying until the whole cut was covered by the sticky substance. "It won't hold of long but is should be enough to get you to a doctor." He told her as he placed her arm around his neck.

"I can stand on my own." She insisted but he won't listen.

"Can't you just let me help you?" he asked as Tenten stayed quiet for a moment. "You saved me, let me do something for you."

"I didn't save you and you know it. Last time I saw you, you were chained to the floor." She pointed out.

"The keys fell out of his pocket when you two were struggling, thus you did save me." He pointed out.

"Are all demons so….honorable?" she muttered in as she stated to feel tired.

"Not all of us." He muttered as he looked back at the body of the human.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Else Where~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It felt like a ton of bricks had fallen on him. He really didn't feel like moving and quite frankly he didn't plan on moving. He felt like all his bones had turned into liquid. He felt hot and cold at the same time it was such an odd sensation of feelings.

"Susake?" came a soft voice he knew belong to a woman with odd pink hair. He tied to open his eyes but they felt incurably heavy. "Sasuke….can you hear me?" the voice said again. He wanted to answer he really did but his voice won't burst through. It felt like he had an orb stuck in his throat that didn't allow him to speak. "Sasuke….. You have to be strong." Her voice said but at the moment he felt like a weakest baby one the plant. He couldn't even open his eyes much less answer her. "You have to be strong. "She repeated as Sasuke once again tried to respond but the knot in his throat didn't let him.

"How long do you think until he wakes up?" drifted a voice beside him. The voice was male that much he knew.

"His body is nearly healed, it should be long now. I just fear his reaction to the whole situation." Another male voice said.

"You have to be strong Sasuke." Her voice drifted in again.

"I don't know how we will stop him if he goes postal."

"It will be one hell of a fight if he does."

"Sasuke…" said her voice

"It's been hours since the women left and we have yet to hear from her."

"She knows what she's doing. She'll come back."

"Sasuke…. You need to let go….you need to…." Her voice stated to fade.

"This is not going to be easy on him." A female voice this time his mother if he wasn't mistaken.

"Losing a mate is never easy." Said a male voice to his right side.

"You have to let me go….Sasuke…I…" came her voice again but this time it was interrupted by screaming. The screaming became louder as he felt hands grab on his body.

"Hold Him down!" someone yelled as a roar was heard. Sasuke felt like he was being pulled out to watch like he done before when ever his other form was taking over. "Sasuke control yourself!" They said but the roar made short work of their words.

"SASUKE SAVE ME!" came her voice but it sound strange. It didn't sound like her. "SASUKE!" she yelled as his eyes opened and vivid color assaulted his eye sight. Above him was Naruto, Itachi, his mother and Minato trying to hold him down. The rest of the ebony guards were standing on the far end of the room guarding a ball. In side that ball was Sakura banging at the walls of the cage. "Sasuke!" she yelled out to him. The ebony guards brought up their weapons as Sasuke felt the hands on his right arm disappear before he saw Naruto fly off to side.

"HOLD HIM!" Roared Minato but Sasuke managed to get free enough to transform. He could hear shouting as his large form took every space of the room as he lunged himself at the orb.

"Sasuke!" she yelled happily as his claw came around the orb. Once he knew he had it in his claws he burst through the room and out to open skies.

"Let go Sasuke…" came her voice again but her voice sounded like it was coming from inside of him. He didn't stop flying until he was safely in the clouds. "Sasuke you need to let go…" she cried as her image appeared in his mind. She was wearing a white dress and her hair was slightly longer. Around her neck was the necklace he gave her its red stone shining brightly around her pale skin. "Let go Sasuke…" she said but it sound like a whisper. He could see her in the dark canvas of his mind but he couldn't seem to reach her.

"Sasuke release me please!" came her cries from outside but again her voice sounded strange. Using his claw he stated to break the orb.

"Sasuke… Let go…" whispered the Sakura in his mind as she came closer to him. She was a breath away as he looked down at her. Her eyes where the same green they ever been. Her hair was the same color as well. She brought up her hand and tried to touch his skin but thought better about it and just passed her hand over his cheek without touching him. "I will never forget you Sasuke-kun. Thank you." She smiled at him as he looked at her confused. "I can't stay any longer…" she muttered as her image seems to fade and come back. " I need you to let go of my memory Sasuke." She told him as she brought her hand up to his face again.

"I won't." He answered stubbornly.

"I'm dead Sasuke.." she answered sadly as looked at him. He growled at her for even mention the sentence. She stated to fade again as she closed her eyes and became solid again enough to touch his face. "Do what's right Sasuke-kun." She told him as she kissed him briefly as her image became hazy then turned into a small white ball then zoomed out of his mind right to the Sakura inside the orb. Like a glass cracking when a rock was thrown at it the image of the Sakura in the orb change before his eyes. It was disorientated then he saw something he never had seen before. The person in the orb had Sakura's looks but it wasn't Sakura he was looking at it. It was some sort of monster that smiled at him as he looked at the thing. His claw stated to break the shell around the cell as the laughter he once knew drifted to his ears. Anger courses though him as he looked the thing inside the orb.

"Well, well brat you've seen through my ruse very nice." It laughed as Sasuke claws broke the cell and came around the small body. He crushed the small body in his hands as it laughed.

"What have you done to her?" he demanded as the thing just laughed out loud.

"I took her body stupid boy." He told Sasuke as he could see the changes in Sakura's body. "Are you going to kill me Sasuke?" he poked as Sasuke stated to crush it again when it cried out very much like Sakura. "Sasuke!" she yelled out but again she sound funny like the voice was being forced out. "Sasuke you're hurting me!" she cried out as his grip loosened slightly in shock of the cry.

"Sasuke!" yelled out his mother as he looked behind him to find a white and gold dragon coming after him. He tightens his grip on the thing again and flew off. He could hear the thing laughing as he zoomed through the clouds. Any human would have been dead at how fast he was traveling but this one just laughed out as he drove to the ground. Its laughter died down when he plummeted head first into a body of water. The water greeting sent shock wave all over his body as he looked over to the human who sneered at him. So it wasn't human anymore.

"I died Sasuke…" rang her voice in his head as he looked at her body. His grip got stronger as he drove in deeper to the lake. He knew that he had to come up for air at some time but his body didn't seem to want to allow it. It was a raw hatred that made him want to drown the thing in his hand but the fact that the thing shared Sakura's body made him go back up to the surface. Infuriated with the fact that he couldn't make the creature suffer as he felt he pulled them both to the shore. It laughed at him as he brought them to the shore.

"You can't even let go of a memory." It mocked as Sasuke tighten his grip. "Face it boy I have trumped your hand and now you can't even kill me." It scorned at him as Sasuke growled deeply in his throat. He felt something hot and bubbling go up striate to his throat. He bearded his teethe at the thing and something that felt like liquid fire swirled in his mouth. "Are you going to spit fire at me?" it asked in anger as Sasuke red eyes focused on him. He began to open his mouth as the things in his claw panicked. "Wait! WAIT! I can give her back to you!" It yelled as it covered it's body. Sasuke looked at him for a second before closing his mouth again. "That right, I can give you your mate back but you have to do as I say." Sasuke growled loudly as he began to open his mouth again. "Are you willing to kill her Sasuke?" it yelled at him. "Are you willing to throw away your mate's life in order to save everyone?" It demanded.

"Indeed" he hissed as he launched into the sky. He threw his whole weight into the flight as he burst through the clouds. He hovered slightly above them before he looked over to his pray again.

"What a heartless demon you've become." it chuckled at him but it more out of fear then it was boasting. To make sure that the thing knew that Sasuke was not playing he released the thing from his claws. Instantly it plummeted to the earth with alarming speed as Sasuke watched. If he would have blinked he would have missed it. As soon as it was a fair distance from him it transformed. The instant it changed back to Sakura's form. It was like her body was shot out of cannon aimed striate to the ground.

"SAKURA!" He roared as his body felt the horrible tug of the bond. He plunged head forward after her even though his mind screamed it was trap but his body wouldn't listen. The speed of her fall had a lot to do with the fact that something seems determined to kill her. His claw just went around her body when the Illusion broke. Like smoke her appearance changed instantly back to what it was.

"See you can't let go." It laughed at him as he pulled up over the clouds again. "Face it Sasuke you have lost the only thing that can keep you whole. You might as well died with her." It laughed at him as Sasuke squeezed again. "Are you going to do this again?" he mocked "you and I both know that you don't have the guts to go through with it, but I can give you a way to get your mate back. All you have to do is give in and you can have her back." It offered as Sasuke squished it again but loosened his grip. "Kill me and you'll never see her soul again." It threatens as it pulled out its hand to show a white orb the size of a small melon glowing brightly. A black ribbon went around the orb that went striate into the thing's hand. "All I need to do is think about it and her soul will be lost do you want that Sasuke?" it teased as Sasuke eyes focused on the white orb. He could feel the radiance coming out of the orb it was a soul whose he didn't know but he knew it was.

"What do you want?" he hissed at it.

"You already know."

~~~~~~~~~Else Where~~~~~~~~~

From the ground the Ebony guard looked up to the sky they had been tracking Sasuke but they had lost him. Kakashi was ahead of the pack trying to get back on Sasuke's trail but it was difficult. Gaara ran beside him as he tried to keep in contact with Itachi and his mother who flew through the skies searching. Also tracking with them was Hinata and Ino. Even the news of their friend weighed heavy on them they took off with the Ebony guards to help.

"Itachi says that Sasuke has taken fight again." Informed Gaara as if on commanded they all looked up to the sky to try to spot the rouge. They looked only for moments as Neji jumped into a tree and raced up its branches. Above the tree he could see the clear sky above and one other thing.

"I found him!" He yelled as Ebony jumped up the branches of nearby trees to see. Above the tree branched they saw the Ebony dragon far above in the sky. From his hand he dropped something as they watched it fall. Instantly he drove back for it and brought it about the clouds.

"Move!" ordered Kakashi as they speed over to location where he hovered. Ino grabbed on to Shikamaru tightly as they speed through the trees.

With Itachi he looked straight foreword I as he could see Sasuke in the distance. His claw where wrapped around Sakura's body as he seem to be talking to it. A great urgency seem to race through him as he tried to get there fast to warn his brother of the monsters intentions. His mother and he flew as fast as they could manage to him but the faster they seem to go the farther away Sasuke seemed. Like a sledgehammer to the chest He watched as his brother brought the monster up to his face where that thing placed it's hand between his eyes. Terror boiled inside him as he watched Sasuke close his eyes and in that instant he knew what his brother was going to do. It was almost instantly that on Sasuke Ebony scales began to get bold lines of blood red. His red eyes opened only to be brimmed by ebony as soon as he did so he dropped Sakura's body. It plummeted to the ground with outstanding speed. The body changed from the monsters form it had before the human girl he had seen before.

Out of the trees he saw something orange flash upward and grab hold of the falling girl as Sasuke reared his head back and fired a stream of liquid fire at the girl's body. Acting out of impulse He transported himself in the line of fire. The hot flames hit his scales making him cry out in a loud roar. His mother was second behind him and Slammed into Sasuke. He watched as both went at each other with the intent to kill each other. He looked around for the girl who was curled in a ball in one of Naruto's tails. Naruto brought her down as Itachi changed forms and landed next to them. His left arm was bleeding as he went for the girl. Naruto was checking her pulse as Itachi was checking for the demon soul.

"She's dead." He told Itachi as he looked at him. Itachi placed his hand on her forehead and closed his eyes for a few movements. He couldn't feel the demon in her anymore which meant only one thing. His eyes shot over to the ebony dragon fighting his mother.

"Her soul is still in the body protect it!" he roared as he change forms and shot into the air to join his mother and brother's fight. The sky thundered as Itachi reached them. Taking no time at all he slammed into Sasuke's side making him roar. He coiled his body around him trying to squeeze the life out of him but Sasuke would have none of it. He snapped his teeth at Itachi's neck as Itachi would wave to the side. Taking his claw he would slash as Itachi's white scales while Itachi would do the same. Their mother slammed into them making them both lose their grips making Itachi lose grip on Sasuke who took advantage and bite the back of Itachi's neck. It wasn't enough to draw blood but enough to cause pain. Sasuke now coiled around Itachi Squeezing his body with all the strength he had in his body. With his neck in Sasuke jaws Itachi could hardly move.

"He killed her Sasuke." He hissed at the dragon. "I saw her body she dead because he consumed her!" He accused as Sasuke growled in anger. "He didn't release her he killed her and ripped her soul to get his back." He hissed as Sasuke bite down harder. "He was never going to let her live! As long as she lives he wasn't whole! Now he is and you stupidly let him have the one thing he always wanted!" accused Itachi. Itachi knew that he couldn't move even if wanted to but if he angered Sasuke enough it might give him the an edge to escape. "You're an Idiot for thinking that you could trust that thing to keep its word and you're a bigger Idiot for thinking she would have wanted you to do this!" he yelled as something seem to come together in Sasuke mind. His grip on his brother's throat loosened which gave him the advantage to slip out of his grasp.

Falling back to where his mother waited for him Itachi looked at Sasuke wither back in forth in the air. In a bright light the dragon transformed into Sasuke only that his eyes and hair looked different. His eyes were still brimmed with black but his iris and pupil were still bright red. His ebony hair went for blue black to jet black and red streaks. He also had an odd tattoo that went from the base of his back to the bottom of his chin. His shirt had somehow gone missing he floated in front of them only in his pants in his hands was the soulless. He looked completely at ease with himself as he looked up to Itachi and his mother's massive form in front of him.

"Thank you for killing the last of his rebellion Itachi." He remarked as he moved his neck side to side as if trying to take out a kink out of it. He looked at his hands which were morphed between hands and claws. If anything Sasuke looked extremely deadly. He had the look of a wild animal but all the calm of a general waiting to go to war that he knew he was going to win. "As for you two I think you've outlived you usefulness." He mocked as he unleashed the ebony. In the blink of an eye Sasuke was upon them instantly Itachi changed forms and slam into Sasuke. His mother kept the same form as she wrapped her body around them. Itachi was already worse off for wear and getting into a fight with new and evil Sasuke was not on his to do list. His body was extremely weak and the flight after Sasuke had not helped one bit. With his body near dropping point Itachi got ready to face his brother.

"What have you become bother?" He whispered as he tried to reach his bother soul but it was dormant inside the thing that controlled him. Itachi reached for his weapon on his back as Madara looked at him.

"You plan to fight me? You must be joking." He spat at him.

"I plan to kill you." Itachi threaten as he pulled out two chakram (Def: sometimes called a war quoit, is a throwing weapon from India. Its shape is of a flat metal hoop with a sharp outer edge from in diameter also similar to Chinese wind and fire wheels.) The blade was made of obsidian volcanic rock while the inside of the ring was polished Silver. In the middle was a handle which Itachi used to grip the weapon. Bring both blades up to his chest in a fight stance Itachi watched as Madara got accustom to his brother's body. Madara twisted the ebony in his hand as if testing the weight of the sword in his hand. He then looked satisfied that the sword was well balanced and looked back to Itachi.

In the span of one breath they clashed with each other. Using one of his Chakrams Itachi blocked Madara's first sword thrusts as he swung his body around to use his other Chakram to slice at him only to have him dodge by moving back. Madara brought the ebony back to him then went for a lower attack as Itachi deflected it and swung at Madara's head again. Almost like watching a twisted dance they came at each other with ferocity but in the end the results Itachi was getting tired. Grabbing on to his weapons tightly he looked at Madara who didn't even look like he's broken a sweat. He had two choices and he didn't wish to use any of the two. Yet at this point he no longer had a choice. Using one of his Chakrams as an projectile he launched it at Madara. Madara moved out of the way of the deadly object when Itachi lunched the other one. Again Madara had just enough time to dodge that one.

He looked over to itachi with a look that told him he was not impressed then the Chakrams came hurling back to Itachi slicing Maradra's arms in the process. Two deep cuts on each arm stated to bleed as Madara looked back at Itachi who grabbed onto the flying projectiles. He smiled because he now knew what Itachi was trying to do. It wouldn't work because he already saw the ability of his Chakrams. He knew to watch his back as the disc would fly past him. Itachi then launched the disc again as it flew at Madara in blinding speed he used the ebony to knock it out of the sky. The Chakram bounced off the sword then back over to Itachi who caught it in midflight and launched it again as Madara was about to deflect it the disc it became two disc. Deflecting with the ebony both disc flow off to the side as Itachi launch the other disc and just like the first it made its self into two disc.

Madara was about to deflect the two disc coming him when the other two he defected came back slashing his upper left shoulder and the other one sliced his check. Then the other two he was trying to deflect cut at his admen then instantly they returned to Itachi's waiting hands.

Mikoto watched as Itachi's Illusion grabbed a hold of Madara. Madara was fighting off invisible Chakrams as Itachi would only launch two but In Madara's mind he was fighting off a whole army of them. She had watched as Itachi's eyes had changed shape and color from the bright red to crystal blue. It was something she only seen her son do once before but the combination of the two attacks was deadly. The only drawback was that both the Chakram and his Illusion ate up his physical energy and his chakra. Since the very beginning Itachi was at a disadvantage for the very fact that Itachi had not had time to heal properly while Sasuke's body was forced to heal in a rapid rate because of the spells cast on him. She was in no better shape either after he fight with Sasuke and the fact she put much of her chakra into the healing spells both she and Itachi where just bitting their time before Madara really caused harm. Just as she had thought of it Madara broke Itachi's Illusion. Itachi body dropped slightly as he showed signs that he was at the last of his energy. Sweat had broken all over his face as he tried to breathe in.

Mikoto quickly changed forms and grabbed onto Itachi and flashed them out of the way as Madara swung the sword in the place Itachi was standing in. He looked around and found Mikoto with Itachi in her arms a few feet from him. He was about to advance them when something white zoomed past him. He looked around quickly and found that a whole bunch of white object where flying around him they were so small that he hadn't noticed them before until the one that zoomed past him.

"You know they say Art is a blast." He heard behind as he turned to face the speaker when the sky around Madara exploded sending him hurtling to the ground.

"Going down?" Asked Kisame as he swung his sword and slammed it into Madara's stomach hurrying his descent to the ground.

"Have a nice landing." Chuckled Hidan as used his scythe to stabbed Madara's side as he then used both his feet and slammed them Madara's chest . Instanly he felt something tie around his wrist, feet and admen then pulled him to the ground. He slammed into the ground making it buckle and break around until the gound it's self exploded in a rain of Sand. The sand as if having a mind of its own swirled in the air then slammed into Madara full force. The sand stated to clear and Madara could see a person standing in front of him. Picking himself out of the rubble he looked over to the only person looking at him.

"I hope your had a pleasant landing." Naruto spoke as Madara got himself off the ground and dusted himself off.

"Like dropping into a pile of pillows." He said slightly bored as he flexed his muscles. "I hope you give me more of a challenge."

"It will be my honor."
