First FanFic, Please R&R... hope I did a good job!
A/N:I do not own Naruto or the charactars... if I did, the episodes would have a lot more humor!
Two teenage Joniin walked through a dark, musty warehouse. They held hands tightly, as if the other would vanish if they let go.
"Sasuke, let's find Kakashi-sensei and get out of here. I mean, we're armed with one kunai, and they've got, what, about... all our weapons, not to mention our clothes, food, water, and the tent?"
"Look, I know you're scared. I am too. But you saw that completely ridiculous sign on the door, and if someone's as dumb as to make something like that, they can't be all too bright. Besides, we've got our jutsus and our brains with us."
"Mnn... Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"You're right." and with that, she threw her arms around him and hugged him. Tight.
"Aww, so sweet. Unfortunatly, we've got some business to take care of, don't we?" an new voice came from just beyond Sasuke's and Sakura's visibility range. The person stepped forwards, and, naturally, it was Aruka.
Sakura gasped, and Sasuke muttered under his breath, "Jackass."
"Ooh, looks like wittle boy Sasuke wants to insult me! Oh, dat's not very nice, is it, boys?"
Laughter came from the surrounding corners, and in a matter of seconds, a bunch of stupid, yet powerful, ninja surrounded the two teens."GET THEM!" screamed Aruka, and the ninja attacked.
Sasuke instantly leaped above the men that surrounded him. When he started to come down again, he threw the kunai that was in his hand and it hit one ninja's heart. Another man tried to hit Sasuke with a shuriken, but he caught it and winged it across the room, almost hitting Aruka. Then Sasuke used his Fire Style! Blazing Fireball Jutsu! to burn the remaining ninja dead. He ran over to the one who his kunai had struck, and pulled it out of the man's body. Sasuke then looked around for Sakura, but he didn't see her.
"Sakura! Sakura, where are you?" Sakura!" Sasuke started looking around the burnt-up-dead bodies to see if he'd hit Sakura by accident. Suddenly, he heard laughter. Sasuke looked up to see that Aruka had Sakura held tightly in his arm. She had a gag in her mouth, and her hands and feet were tied together so that she couldn't move. They stood on the celing of the warehouse.
"Come on, now, wittle Sasuke, do you really not recognize me?" asked Aruka. "You remember that battle between Itachi and yourself, right?"
Sasuke gasped as, in his mind, he went back to when he had just killed Itachi with a Chidori with so much power an immortal wouldn't live from it.(A/N:Isn't that impossible?) Itachi's servants had surrounded them, the dead body of Itachi lying there, along with Sasuke's nearly dead one. And one of Itachi's servants, one who had attempted to kill Sasuke, was-
"Aruka... you..." Sasuke had never felt so much anger in his body at once. "YOU SERVED MY BITCH OF A BROTHER!" he roared. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wittle Sasuke must have forgotten who is at whose mercy." He took out a kunai and held it against Sakura's throat. "I think, Sasuke, wittle Sasuke, if you take one step closer, your girlfriend here dies."
But Sasuke couldn't hold back his rage anymore. "BASTARD!" He jumed up into the air, and, with inhuman strength, sliced off both of Aruka's hands kith his kunai. He then picked up Sakura, pulled her out of Aruka's reach, and set her down on the ground. Sasuke leaped off the ground and, while in the air, made several handsigns.
"CHIDORI!" he screamed, and plunged it into the boy's stomach. Then he fell back onto the ground, and started cutting off Sakura's binds. When he finished, he went over to the writhing, barely alive body of Aruka and said,
"You once served an evil man. I killed him. Now, I have also killed you. You got what you deserved." Sasuke went back over to Sakura and embraced her.
"Sasuke... thank you." she whispered. "Thank you."
"Mmn. Now all we need to do is find Kakashi and get out of here." he told her. But, juudging the intelligence of these losers... Sasuke went over to a door marked "Dungeon for Konaha Prisoners" and opened it. Chained to the wall was none other than Kakashi.
"Sasuke, Sakura! Did you kill Aruka? They took me during the night, and since I'm such a heavy sleeper, well..."
"Kakashi, we're fine. Don't worry. Now, c'mon... Let's find our stuff and get out of here." Sasuke said wearily.
"Oh, we won't need to find your things. They put it in here, along with little old me." He gestured a chained hand to the baggage that was sitting right next to him.
"Oh, okay." Sakura and Sasuke gathered up their own stuff, and put Kakashi's aside.
"The key's right there, outside the door. Get it and unlock me, Sakura, please." Sakura went over to the door and pulled the key off it's ring. She unlocked their ex-sensei and helped him up. Kakashi put an arm around the two teenagers and said, "Let's go home."
They were far into the forest when Kakasi told them to stop. "Night is falling. We should set up camp." Sasuke pitched the tents, Kakashi started the fire, and Sakura got out the food. Pretty soon they all sat around the fire, eating ravioli and peppers.
"So tell me, you two... What was your mission like?" Kakasi asked them. Sakura then proceeded to tell Kakashi the events of the mission, with Sasuke correcting her or pointing out parts she missed while she did. Kakashi listened intently, and when they were finished he nodded his head and said, "You are both ninja worthy of respect. You defeated one of the most powerful ninja in the Clouds Village. Be proud."
Late that night, when Kakashi was snoozing peacefully inside his tent, Sasuke and Sakura went for a walk in the forest. They came across a clearing and sat down on a log that had fallen near the edge of the clearing.
"Sasuke, I want to say something. You've saved my life more than twice over the past couple days, and I really want to thank you for it. So..." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him gently on the lips. They stayed like that for a minute or two, then pulled apart. Sasuke blushed, he couldn't help it.
"Yeah, well, I've got you a sort of present, too. A Christmas gift, actually."
"Oh, my gosh... I completely forgot... tomorrow's Christmas!"
"Yeah, and well... here." He hugged her close and kissed her back, a special, meaningful kiss that was meant only for her. While they kissed, snow began to fall, but they took no notice. In a nearby tree, Kakashi looked down at them and thought,
Why the hell did it take them so long? Ah, well, I'm glad I've got a front-row seat! He grinned evilly under his mask. His two ex-pupils were still kissing, but it looked like they were wrapping it up, so he thought it best to get back to the campsite. He jumped silently through the trees, leaving Sasuke and Sakura to finish on their own.
Well, that's the end of that chapter. I read all your replies and tried to put in what you asked for (aka more fluff). Also, don't think this is the end! I've still got one, maybe two, more chappies to go! (A/N: a chappie is not a british guy, in response to recent fan mail).
