Even one review can help my mood! Thank you so much Ryuuie Mizishi for your reviews, they've really kept me going. For all those reading this story and not reviewing, please al least review once or twice, I won't ask you to review again if you review, k?

Anyway, this chapter is mostly about Kazuma and Sasuke talking to eachother. I'm not really sure if I'll add anyone in this chapter. You'll just have to read to find out

Chapter 3!

"Uuhhhh…" He groaned as he opened his eyes to the bright lights of the hospital. He tried to lift his arm to cover his eyes, but it wouldn't bend. He lifted his whole arm and looked at the light cast that cover his arm. He lowered his arm and closed his eyes again, trying to remember what happened last. He remembered running away from Sand ninjas and being beaten up badly before he was able to escape into Konoha territory. He rested against a tree and was almost immediately found by a white haired ninja with a forehead protector over one of his lazy eyes and a black mask over his nose and mouth.

"You're finally awake?" A harsh voice from next to him pulled him from his thoughts. He looked at the raven-haired boy next to him. He didn't look too friendly, much less happy, "I've been waiting since this afternoon, and you've been asleep for around six hours now… Kazuma."

Kazuma sat up quickly, "How do you know my… argh!" He fell back onto the bed and clutched his side with his intact hand. Now, not only was he dizzy, he was in a lot of pain. He bit his lip and waited for the pain to subside, then he spoke again, "How do you know my name?" He said, sort of out of breath from the pain. Sasuke stood up from the chair and looked at Kazuma's forehead protector, then shrugged.

"You only woke up for a moment today and told us your name. But we need more information now or else your village will be destroyed soon." Sasuke explained, handing the boy his forehead protector, "And my first question is, 'how long did it take you to make that fake?'" He pointed at the forehead protector of light, "Everyone knows that the 'Hikari Village' is a fairy-tale." Sasuke glared at the boy, "And I want answers quickly, everyone is worried about all of this, and the village of Sand is going crazy over all this. A few of their men were killed when they tried to enter your village."

Kazuma grimaced, "For one, this isn't fake, it's my fathers. He just gave it to me." He looked around the room and then at Sasuke's forehead protector. His eyes widened, "Wait… where am I?" He asked, this time sitting up slowly. He looked at Sasuke with a confused expression, "Your forehead protector is like the one of the village of fire."

It was Sasuke's turn to be confused, "The village of fire?" He took his forehead protector off and looked at the symbol, "Konoha means Hidden leaf, but this village is the hidden village of fire."

Kazuma couldn't help but smile, "Really? That means… no…" He smiled disappeared, "A long time ago, the second time the Hikari village appeared after the setting of the curse, a war broke out between the villages, and it started between the village of light and the village of the desert."

"Village of the desert? You mean the village of Sand?" Sasuke asked.

Kazuma shrugged, "I don't know, for the past thousand years, my village has been in another world or something. Every thousand years out here, is one hundred years in the village. We were cursed with the phoenix guardian almost three thousand years ago. Part of this curse was that every time the Hikari village appeared, a war would start, and it would be so huge, it would destroy all the villages except the Hikari village. The Hikari village would just disappear for a thousand years again." He sighed and looked at his hands, "My family had been chosen a long time ago to try and be the peacemakers to keep the war from happening, and no matter how hopeless it seemed, we had to find someone who would help us stop the war, but every time, the village that got involved would just spread the war around."

Sasuke listened intently, he hadn't killed his brother yet, so he couldn't let this war destroy every thing, "How long does your village usually stay in this 'world'?"

"It varies from a week to a few months, and only in that time, my village is in sync with the timeline here." Kazuma explained as he ran his thumb on the symbol of his forehead protector, "I want to stop this war… I don't want people to die anymore." Kazuma looked at Sasuke with a determined look, "Please, help me stop this." He held his good hand out to Sasuke. It took a moment for Sasuke to decide, but he took Kazuma's hand to seal the deal, "Now, do me a favor?" Sasuke looked slightly confused, "Could you help me put on my forehead protector?"

"Sure." Sasuke smirked lightly and took the Hikari forehead protector and began to tie it around Kazuma's head. When it was done, Sasuke stepped back, "Now, I still don't believe you, alright?" Kazuma grinned childishly like Naruto did before he matured a bit.

"Thanks… um… what's your name?" Kazuma asked, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Sasuke… Uchiha Sasuke."

Yay! I finally finished chapter 3! I guess it was all Sasuke and Kazuma, but that's fine, we won't be seeing a lot of Sasuke next chapter, he'll off doing… things. Please read and review, flames are fine, but constructive criticism is encouraged (as are compliments). See you next chapter!
