Hi Sasuke-kun! Wow! Thank you all so much for your reviews!
Sasuke: Dammit Midnight, I am NOT your angst muse! So why do I have to be here?
Because I said so! And this fic requires both my angst muse and…my other muse here today, which means YOU Sasuke!
Sasuke: Where the hell is Hiei! HE'S your angst muse, so if I have to be here, then why isn't he here?
I dunno. He's probably off screwing either Yusuke or Kurama.
Sasuke: I did not need that mental image. -.-
Ignore him everyone, now I must thank you great reviewers! I was one review off my target but ah well, I'm in an angsty-writing mood right now so I decided to update this instead of Black Mist…-hides from Black Mist readers- Please don't kill me!
Replies to Reviewers:
Ryouseiteki: Thanks for your review! I think you've reviewed all of my stories…so –huggles you- thankies! And a punch in the gut? I didn't know it would have that effect, but yay anyway! And to make things clear, this will NOT be a SasuSaku. I don't mind reading the occasional one, but I will NEVER write that pairing! –nods her head- Yes, Sakura with Lee I can see. Sasuke torture kicks ass doesn't it? And there's gonna be plenty of that in this fic! OroSasu and ItaSasu, eh? I'll see what I can do .
Kawaii Kitsune-kun: Yay another Sasuke obsessed fan! And, since you read Black Mist, don't kill me for not updating! Thankies for your review!
Lady-Frisselle: Lol, have you got some tissues yet?
TheSunshineGirls: Anything works, eh? I'll keep that in mind lol. And yeah I was going for creepiness with the pain is my sanctuary thing .
Zeilya: Don't be wide eyed, your eyeballs will dry out! Lolz. And I know, our poor Sasu-chan gets no privacy what so ever –huggles him- Glad to see you liked Naruto's friendship with the floor too . NO SASUSAKU WOTSOEVA! And KakaSasu? I like that pairing, I might make it be that.
Spork Ai: You think my story has a fascinating plot? –is shocked and beams with pride- Thank you SOOO much! I'll keep those pairings in mind too .
Lost Ninja: Of course Sasu-chan's creepy! I always imagine him been like that, unless he's either OOC or in an AU. And you'll see what they found in the room this chapter! And yeah, Sakura is kinda like a weird stalker. And SasuNaru is a very popualr pairing, and also one of my faves, so yeah! But anything's possible!
Danni: DON'T DIE! Lolz, I need you around to make me feel all happy when you and others review! Here's the next chapter, and thanks for your comments, they made me go .
MistressSerenity: Wait no longer, for here is the next chapter! I'm glad you liked the start, I just hope you like the rest of the fic!

Kakashi hummed to himself as he turned to the next page of his favourite book. The grin on his face was evident, even beneath that mask of his, and he blushed wildly as he re-read the previous sentences again and again. Suddenly, he saw something black out of the corner of his eye, moving in the shadows of the trees. He quickly closed his book, and put it in his weapons bag, and looked down.
The black figure had disappeared, but it had left something behind that caused Kakashi to stand up, and follow the traces of blood leading into Konoha.
A forehead protector, with a single slash across the leaf symbol…
It seemed to them that time had simply stopped, and that they had entered what they could only describe as a nightmare. But as Naruto raised a hand to pinch himself, he realised that he wasn't dreaming. Sakura did nothing, but slide to the ground, with tears threatening to cascade down her cheeks. She was faintly reminded of how she felt similar to when Orochimaru had shown her the image of her own demise in the forest of death, but lost even that memory as she looked around the room.
The room, when it had been bathed in darkness for the few seconds it took for the candles to light, had seemed perfectly normal, aside from the fact that the window was boarded up. However, small slivers of light still managed to shine through the tiny gaps in the wood. When the candles spirit's were born though, the room was transformed.
All around the room, on every surface, on every wall, on every part of the floor, was the scent of dried blood, and the crimson was there to confirm it. Naruto, having the superior sense of smell out of the two, recognised it to be the same blood as the one that was in the photograph book…Sasuke's.
On every wall that they could see, there were sheets of A4 paper stapled to it, each with different words written on it. Some were repeats of the words they saw in Sasuke's bedroom. Again, they were written in blood. There was also pictures, drawn by hand, of death, destruction and pain. On the bottom of each picture drawn, was a signature that they did not recognise. Each image was drawn so beautifully, so delicately, that you could almost feel the anguish that the painter possessed.
On one of the walls, was a lone shelf, with a few books placed upon it. Beneath that shelf, were what seemed like hundreds of Kunais and Shurikens that had been thrown into the wall out of anger. On each shuriken, was a name.
UCHIHA KATSUHIRO
UCHIHA RYU
UCHIHA SAKUYA
The list went on. However, these weapons did not have their handles sticking out. Their sharpest points, all faced outwards, as if the handle was the one imbedded into the wall. Naruto made sure to stay well away from that wall, as he abandoned the girl weeping silently by his side, and walked towards the boarded up window.
The window was to the left of the room's centre, and the light coming in shone on a few items on the floor. Naruto bent down to see what they were and grimaced.
It was a black book, about A5 sized, with a small lock on the front. Blood stained tissues were all around the book, and several were just damp as if someone had cried into them. A rope with a knot tied into it, was also there, and upon closer inspection, Naruto found teeth marks around the knot. Something shining in the light caught his eye, and he turned to find a blood stained kunai. Alongside it, was something that truly made him gasp.
"A…a…," Naruto tried to form a coherent sentence, or even a thought, but it was impossible. He shook, as he raised a hand to pick up the object, that also shone in the dim light. He turned to the floor behind him, and saw Sakura crawling slowly across the wood towards him. Her eyes widened as she saw the object in his hand. Her mouth opened wide, and then closed shut again. She took the object from him, and smelt it to decipher exactly what substance it had inside it.
"Saa…kura-chan?" Naruto whispered. She did nothing but shake her head vehemently, as if to deny what she has discovered. She threw the needle across the room, some of the substance shooting out as she did so.
"Heroin…"
Neither of them spoke after she had said this. They even turned away from one another, so that they both wouldn't have to see the other's reaction to this news. Naruto began shaking his head in denial, and he stood up to walk towards the wall of knives. He looked to his left, and saw a black pillow in the corner, surrounded by scrolls. Not wanting to have to find out what was on those scrolls, he reached up and grabbed one of the black books off the shelf. As he began to turn, to perhaps talk to Sakura about what they had discovered, she screamed loudly, and he fell forward onto the knives.
He was lucky. They only just grazed him, and he managed to pull himself back before one managed to stab his heart. Right now though, he was more concerned with why Sakura had screamed. He spun around, and saw her sat there looking absolutely terrified.
"Sakura-chan?"
She raised a hand, and began pointing to the wall that the door was on. He turned to look at the wall, and almost screamed himself. A large pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, was staring back at him.
He restrained himself, as he realised that it was only a very detailed painting. Sakura's breathing evened out, as she calmed herself down and came to the same realisation. However, that did not stop her from shuddering, and turning around to face the opposite wall again.
Although Sakura had never met Itachi, that did not mean she didn't know what those eyes looked like. Naruto had explained it to her that Itachi had one more comma in his eyes then Sasuke did, and so, when she saw those eyes she came to the conclusion that Itachi was here to kill them. Inwardly, she berated herself for acting so stupid, and turned back to the task at hand.
Naruto was more scared of the eyes then he let on, as he sat beside Sakura with the black book in his hand. Unlike Sakura, he had actually seen those eyes, and what they could so. He had never experienced it himself, but after the Tsukiyomi, both Kakashi and Sasuke were both traumatised. But of course, Sasuke took it a lot worse, as his was more mentally traumatised then physically. Naruto knew that Itachi had used his Tsukiyomi to make Sasuke relive the day his family died, but all he did to Kakashi was stab him.
Sakura grabbed the A5 black book, as Naruto held the A4, and opened it quickly to a page. Naruto would have called her a hypocrite for looking through Sasuke's stuff when she had told him not to, but right now he had more important things to be worried about. That thing, been Sasuke's sanity.
"It's an organiser…" Sakura whispered to the quiet blonde beside her.
"An organiser?"
On the page she had turned to, were the words 'Train with team Seven' and 'Go grocery shopping'. It was dated last Tuesday. Naruto sighed in relief, at the entry being so normal. He was afraid it was going to say something else. Sakura smiled slightly, and turned a few pages. However, her smile dropped when it came to last Saturday.
Train with Team Seven
Train alone until 8:00
Go to work
Work? What work? The only work they had was ninja-related! Sakura was becoming even more worried, and the atmosphere of the room wasn't helping any. She flipped over another page, to two days ago.
Not at the club tonight. However, client is due to arrive at midnight.
Midnight? Client? Club? Naruto furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and worry. Sakura flipped the page over again, to yesterday.
Be careful. Club tonight until 2:00am. Three clients booked.
Names are: Kabuto, Orochimaru and Hyuuga Neji. Make sure they swear to secrecy as always before hand.
Remember, black tonight.
"NEJI! What the hell?" Naruto almost shouted.
"What is he referring to when he mentions clients?" Sakura asked.
Naruto ripped the book out of her hands, and turned the page to tonight.
NO CLIENTS TONIGHT. NO WORK AT THE CLUB. Those three always wear me out, need a day to rest. No training with team seven, be sure to make myself seem ill so as to avoid suspicion. And need to talk to Neji about his possessiveness issues.
There was nothing more after that, as if the author had yet to schedule their next activities. It took a few moments for it all to sink in. Sakura was silent, as if contemplating what she had just read, and Naruto was staring at the shackles on one of the walls with disgust.
He dropped the book, and raised the blood stained kunai to his lips. Sakura was about to ask him what he was doing, when he answered.
"This is not Sasuke's blood."
