"Le Kisu 'o Doom"

Chapter Two

By: Keitorin

A/N: I finally figured out what to do with this. When I wrote it at 4a.m last week, I had fully intended it to be a one-time thing. But I got such positive feedback and people wanting more, that I decided I would try. The only problem was, I had no idea where to start. So, I consulted someone from the SasuNaru writers group on Yahoo, and even though I didn't really get any solid ideas, I was given the idea to have something else that involved Naruto and Sasuke. At first my mind was totally blank, and then I remembered the 16nth episode and thought it was a very sensitive episode…so here it is. This chapter is in Sasuke's point of view.

"Well, with me on the inside, and Naruto attacking from the outside…" Sasuke contemplated.

"Hey! I came to save you!" That annoying voice…could be…

"You total moron!" He began yelling at Naruto angrily.

I can't believe him! Save me?? Who's going to save him then?? Well it's not going to be me!

Sasuke looked up as movement from the mirrors caught his eyes.

That's the real one…but his eyes widened in shock as he heard Haku's voice calmly say that he was not there any more.

Sasuke turned his head slightly to peer in Haku's direction. He jumped up and decided on a quick solution. He'd bust the mirrors. Hands formed into the seal, he prepared attack, even as Naruto sat up and asked what was going on.

If the mirrors where made of ice…then he'd fight water with fire. He silently willed Naruto to stay back, and attacked.

"Grand Fireball no Jutsu!" And he brung his fingers up toward his mouth and blew. Fire sppute4d out of his mouth like an angry dragon. The fire surrounded the whole of the ice walls, but as the harsh air calmed down, nothing had changed. The fire hadn't been enough.

He only had time to utter a low curse before he and Naruto were assaulted by pointy needles that poked through their skin like tiny pinpricks. Sasuke immediately sat up and looked around wildly. It was attacking from everywhere! Was it a Bunshin then?

He could feel Naruto getting frustrated beside him and hoped he wouldn't do anything stupid. There was already too much going on to watch over his companion.

"Trying to follow me with your eyes is pointless." Sasuke heard Haku say and immediately after Naruto yelled 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu'.

"Don't." Sasuke warned, but Naruto didn't listen. He was only going to get himself hurt, and then Sasuke would have to save the baka.

It was pointless, Sasuke decided as he watched Naruto try to break through the mirrors, only for his Jutsus to slowly disappear with each hit the indiscernible Haku due him.

As the last Jutsu disappeared and Naruto was dealt a blow and fell to the ground, Sasuke idly wondered if she could have caught him, but figured it was okay because it was so close to the ground.

Sasuke listened as Haku explained that his Jutsu used the mirror's reflection to transport him, and from his point of view, it looked as if he were moving in slow motion.

Sasuke looked over at Naruto, startled, when he let out a curse. Hmm…'So what?'

"I have a dream I must fulfill." Dream? Sasuke thought. A dream…it was just a word. Why was Naruto so attached to a word?! What could be so important…

Of course…he himself, wouldn't want to die, he had to kill that man…

Haku didn't want to kill them, or them to kill him? Sasuke figured that wasn't possible in this situation.

Connect our dreams…tell me, what is a dream, really? I know I have to avenge my lost clan. But that isn't my dream, is it? I want to know. Someone tell me…what is…my dream?

And here this person says their dream is to protect someone else…to fulfill their dreams. But that was selfish, wasn't it? To never do what you want, to give it all…for someone else's dreams? That must be painful. Of course he wasn't one to talk…as he was giving up his life for revenge, wasn't he?

"For that, I can become a shinobi. I can kill you." Sasuke smiled in anticipation, as did Naruto nearby.

As Kakashi fought to protect Sakura and Tazuna from Tabuza, Sasuke and Naruto where being attacked with the needles again by Haku.

Sasuke looked over as Naruto fell forward, needles stuck out of the fabric of his clothes at the back. He himself had various cuts and needles.

A moment of catching his breath, and he heard it. He looked up quickly as he heard Sakura scream, quite loudly. What was Kakashi doing??

Haku seemed to be watching them patiently. Sasuke looked over to Naruto and saw that he wasn't looking so well, and decided that he had better do something soon. It was kind of scary seeing someone you trained with everyday, even your rival, hurt like this.

My eyes seem to be getting use to the speed…He looked around with slightly widened eyes, taking in as much as he could.

He heard Naruto begin to stir and began to talk, not only for distraction from Naruto, but also in hopes of learning more.

Haku's body reflexes, ability to react…should already be at its limit.

"But this time I'll stop you." He said as he concentrated as much as he could.

Concentrate..Sasuke breathed more freely and the changed seemed to come at once.

He was prepared when Haku assaulted them with more needles and Sasuke quickly jumped in and pushed Naruto to the side.

He landed roughly on the ground passing a still unconscious Naruto and came to a very low crouch, hand over wounds as he bent low. Sasuke raised his head almost angrily. He had felt the change in his eyes as his head was bent. It felt powerful. Haku was definitely surprised.

It was just a little…but he could see. And what a weird experience it was….

Sasuke kept a close watch on Haku's movements, not sure what he would do next. He tensed expectantly when Haku flew out…

But Sasuke was unprepared when Haku aimed at, not him, but Naruto.

At Naruto?? Damn it, please let me make it in time! His eyes looked panicked as he began to run as fast as he could toward them. Everything went by in a blur. He jumped in front of the needs and they embedded into his skin, and he lurched slightly at the impact. He ignored the pain for a mere second as he grabbed onto Haku's arm and slung him as hard as he could in any direction available. He stood, hunched over from the pain, feeling everything at once. Then Naruto began to wake.

Unexpected Review responses…

AsnGothic – Lol, I'm afraid this chapter didn't contain much fluff either did it? But a lot of angst, gozaru.

I went back through the manga to do this chapter, and that's when I saw that it was some unknown ninja after all

I love your group, and I think it's needs more people! *Advertises somewhere*

Ayako - *plays tug of war with Shikamaru being the prize*

Morien Alexander – Lol! I found the review on the group I joined at Yahoo, it was hilarious xD …thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad you liked it. I hope this chapter was okay.

Firedraygon97 – Thanks~! I'm really glad you liked it, and I tried another chapter. Hope it was okay.

Japime Girl – When I read this review, I was so surprised. I had thought about continuing, but had no clue where to start. Potential…well, I hope this was okay! And I've got talent?!?! Me….talent…barking mad I tell you…

I decided to have this one in Sasuke's point of view, the next one in Naruto's, and then Sasuke's…and then make another chapter after the one after this, and make that where they get together? Hyper can be good! But being hyper and having a headache can be very painful for the system…

And I'll think of a way for Sasuke to find more about Naruto. Sugar…pure blood pressure o.O;

Thanks for all the reviews! Now I know I would feel really bad if I hadn't continued this…well, I'm working on the next chapter, have 500 words so far. ^-^
