I am so sorry!!! I didn't mean for it to take so Like I said before I had a God awful project in my economy class and then I had to start finals and then my projects in web site design and interior design. So I never go around to updating it. Plus I know I said I'd have it up this week and I tried to make it early in the week but when I was about to post my mom band me from the internet and turned it off. I was like NNOOOO! So that is why I'm late gomen. I hope you forgive me.
Here is chapter 4
Pairings: Gaara/Naru, Sasu/Naru
Warnings: The always smiling, nothing can get him down Naruto will not be here. After his trauma, Naruto's personality will take a turn for the colder. At least around his teammates and some others. (He no longer trusts them...)
Disclaimer: Me no own any Naruto characters, but I will have originals in here and they are mine. Ok? Good.

Fantasy or Torture Chapter 4: New Training, New Defeats
The sun shown through Naruto's room with all it's glory. ' Damn sun...' Naruto woke up to the stinging sensation of the sun in his eyes. He looked over to the clock and it read 8:00 Kakashi-sensie should be at the bridge soon. So Naruto got up and checked himself out of the hospital with no trouble what so ever. ' First home, show, food, and then I'm off.'
He walked to his house hearing the whispers and seeing the glares of the people around him. 'Stupid bastards...' He made it to his home with little trouble and did what he set out to do and in an half an hour made it to the bridge where the rest of team sever what waiting.
"Morning..." three heads turn to the less energetic welcome for Naruto.
"Naruto you should be resting." Kakashi said as he looked over his shoulder to look at Naruto.
"I feel fine. So what are we going to do today?" Naruto sounded bored but no one dared comment.
"Training." A simple answer but there was always a catch. "but today will be different. You will train together in rounds. First round will be Sasuke versus Naruto. Second, Naruto versus Sakura. And third, Sakura versus Sasuke. We will train like that till I say stop. I want only hand to hand combat, is that understood?"
"Hai." All three said at the same time.
# # # # # # # # # Tsunade's office
Tsunade is holding Nin cards in her hand. "Aya, of Shadow Village..." The card showed a picture and information. "Aya, age 17, rank genin, missing for two years, reason unknown... specialty, illusions and chakra manipulation. Shizune, send someone to watch over Naruto."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
# # # # # # # # # Training grounds Warning: First time writing a fight scene
"Ok here are the rules...
You may not use any jutsus
Only hand to hand combat, that I have already mentioned
Kunais and shurikens are aloud
No killing your opponent.
Is there anything you don't understand?" Everyone nodded their heads "Good."
"Naruto do think you can handle the rules?" Sasuke looked Naruto in the eyes and sneered at him.
"Shut the hell up Sasuke, you bastard." Sakura marched over to him ready to slap him. As her hand came up to his face her hand was suddenly in another's grip. Naruto's to be more specific. The look in his eyes scared Sakura; he looked like he was about to hit her instead of the other way around. "That is not a wise thing to do anymore Sakura-chan..."
Naruto released his grip so Sakura could pull out of it. She didn't realize what she was doing just that she never wanted to see that look on Naruto's face ever again. She walked back to where Kakashi stood.
Sasuke looked indifferent through out the whole thing but his mind was swimming with questions and thoughts. Naruto went into a fighting stance and Sasuke did the same seconds later. Naruto charges towards Sasuke ready to punch, but Sasuke counters with his own fist. Just before they would hit Naruto squats down and swings his right leg and knocks Sasuke's feet from under him. Sasuke loosing his balance falls to the ground. 'Damn it I didn't see that coming... oh well at least he is making it interesting...' Naruto stands up his foot ready to strike Sasuke in the chest. Sakura is watching the fight and starts to bite her nails in anticipation.
Sasuke rolls over out of Naruto's path just barely missing his foot. Sasuke gets to his feet and takes out a Kunai and throws it at Naruto, hitting his shoulder. Naruto stumbles a little and Sasuke takes this opportunity to kick him in the chest. The force of the impact sends Naruto through a tree.
Inner Sakura: "Yeah Sasuke-kun rocks!!!"
The forest around the training area has become very quiet. Sasuke's senses are on high alert for Naruto. No could hear him as he ran up to Sasuke and tapped him on the shoulder and just like that he was gone again in the trees. Then out of no where three shurikens hitting Sasuke in the left thigh, left shoulder and the third went past his face cutting the skin. Naruto then falls from a tree at a high speed and fist tucked in
"Sasuke-kun he's above you!" Sakura screams hoping to saver her precious Sasuke. At the last moment when you think their heads would collide, Naruto punches Sasuke in the face, as a pillar of dust and dirt is thrown in the air.
Kakashi-sensie... How did Naruto beat Sasuke-kun?"
Inner Sakura: "OH KAMI!!! HOW DID THAT LOSER BEAT SASUKE-KUN!! HE HAD TO HAVE CHEATED... THAT'S RIGHT CHEATED!! HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS. HE'S NOT SMART ENOUGH TO BEAT SASUKE!!!!
"Apparently Naruto has been training harder." Was all Kakashi said.
Clapping was heard in the background. "Great job Naruto!" Everyone turned to the owner of the voice, a person who didn't look that much older then they were. "Ha you even made gloomy boy get knocked out. Hope you didn't give him brain damage..." Everyone and everything present was a victim to her laugher though deep inside Naruto himself was laughing hysterically as well. On the outside his just wore a smirk.
"If I may ask, who you might be?"
"Me? I'm Aya, it is a pleasure." She said with a slight bow.
"And what business do you have here?"
"I'm here to watch the match and when he's ready I would like to kidnap him for the rest of the day if that's ok with you?" She gave Kakashi a smile that would put one of Naruto's to shame. Who could resist it.
"I don't think that would be a good idea." Apparently Kakashi could.
'Dork' Naruto snickered at the remark. "Watch it chibi kitsune." she turned her head to face Naruto and had a smile on her face. Naruto returned the smile. Sasuke was moved and was propped up against a tree.
"Sakura and Naruto your next." Naruto not noticing the Kunai in this should until he moved it he pulled it out and hit healed almost immediately. Sakura reaches into her pouch and takes out two kunai.
"Hey, Sakura-chan, Sasuke wasn't that easy to fight so go easy on my ok?"
Inner Sakura: "What do you mean go easy on you?! I'm going to get my butt kicked!"
"Naruto... I honestly don't think you need me to-" Sakura put down her kunai while she was in her little ranting phase. Naruto took advantage of the situations and ran behinds her so that her back was facing him. He had a kunai to her throat and a dark smile graced his gentle face.
"You should be more alert Sakura-chan. You never know if an enemy will attack at the very moment you let your guard down." Sakura could feel the Kunai slowly cutting into her throat but not enough to make it bleed but enough for it to be noticed.
Sakura started to shake a little and questions like 'will he actually hurt me?' ran through her mind. 'Sasuke-kun was hurt...' An instant later the kunai was gone as well as Naruto. He was in front of her. Sasuke woke up as well.
"Looks like I won." Naruto walked to where Aya was and just stood there.
"That was done nicely Naruto. Congratulations." Kakashi looked over at Aya and just looked spaced out and then out of the blue... "Do you read Icha Icha Paradise?" Everyone except Aya fell over.
"What is Icha Icha Paradise?" She looked confused and she saw the book laying face down on the by the tree. She took it and skimmed the pages. Her face saw becoming extremely read. 'What kind of book is this!? Can people really do that in those positions?' She noticed that everyone stared at her and Kakashi was just smiling. She became even redder, gently but the book down on the ground. "I think that book will give me nightmares for a while."
Kakashi just laughed. Then become more serious as he studied her face. She became tense at her examination. "Is there something wrong with the way I look."
"No it isn't that... I swear I've seen you before."
Her eyes instantly widened. Then settled again. "It is a possibility. I lived in this village for 2 years. But I hardly left the house I was staying in."
That's when it all fell together in his head where he had seen her.
Flash back walking somewhere
Kakashi was making his way to the Hokage tower to turn in his report to the Third. As he pasted the house he would look inside to see what "normal" people do this time of day. Some were eating dinner and doing so type of chore he could care less about.
Lying down on the lawn he saw a small girl of 10. She sat up and what Kakashi saw in her eyes was something that he could never forget. The intense sadness she had. It was something that he had never seen before. She just stared at him as he went by. Then the owner of the house a Jonin like himself at the time came out and told her something. She seemed to be even sadder then before and got up and left. A few weeks later he had told the Hokage that she disappeared. He had some Chunin search for her but they all came back with nothing after a month or so she was declared dead.
End of flash back
'I wonder where she's been all this time. And why she seems so nervous that I remember her.' He saw some panic in her eyes, as she seemed to be looking for something. "Is everything alright." Team seven also noticed it and it made them uncomfortable, and like Sasuke, he hid it while Sakura and Naruto looked worried for her though Naruto more then Sakura.
"I must be going. Naruto are you going to stay here or do you want to come with me?" Naruto looked from me to Aya and back again. Then he asked to be with Aya for the rest of the evening. I agreed to it if the rest could come to see what she was made of. She reluctantly agreed to do so and we started to walk deeper into the forest. This would be a nice place to train Sakura and Sasuke as well as watch Aya and determine how strong she is.
After fifteen minutes of walking we stopped. "Ok this is as good a spot as any."
"For what?" Sakura looked around the dark forest. "Kakashi-sensie I don't like this place. Is it really safe to train in here?"
"No not really but that's the point isn't it." He looked at her and smiled what looked like a smile through the mask. "Don't worry I won't let anything bad happen to my comrades and I don't dought the others will do the same." That seemed to calm her down a bit.
"We are going hunting."
"How would hunting help us train."
"Because it involves blending in with your surroundings, speed, in some cases agility depending on the animal, and silence. Things that you people individually and as a group lack."
Inner Sakura: "What the hell does that suppose to mean!!!"
"I don't understand."
Aya sighed in frustration. "What I am saying is that when you are hiding from an enemy you need to be quiet. You people talk, and loudly I might add. Any shinobi who could hear anything could hear you when you little obsession is involved." Sakura frustrated at this point and didn't feel like holding Inner Sakura back as much as she has been.
"What is your problem! You don't need to act so high and mighty! You think you're so great! GGRRR... I hate people like you!"
"I'm sorry to hear that. But I just proved my point. Tell me, do you hear anything."
Sakura was still fuming and could have cared less at the moment. Naruto and Sasuke on the other hand were listening and came to the same conclusion, "No."
"See your little friend here scared all of the animals way. Listen I make more easy for you ok? Let's play hide and go seek tag." Everyone sweat dropped. "You three will go and hide and Kakashi-sama and I will go and seek you out when we do you better run. Depending on how long or how little it takes us to find and capture you will determine the punishment." She smirked after she said punishment that made everyone shudder. "You may set traps and such in order to get away but no jutsus are aloud. But there is another catch. You need to stay together and hide, but you can go where ever you want once you are caught."
"Alright. What is the punishment?" Naruto and his curiosity it is a wonderful thing.
"We will think of it when the time comes. Have fun. We'll count to... What do you think Kakashi-sama?"
"30"
"Ok."
"Have fun. Go" They took off.
"1"
"2"
"3"
They continue to count. "30. Ready of not here we come. Are doing this individually or as a group?"
"Group will be fine."
Kakashi point of view
I never thought that such a child's game could be so useful for training. Oh well they say you learn something new everyday.
"So how did you know I use to live here?" I was waiting for that question.
"I walk by your house one day and saw you. You looked like her in little ways and I just put two and two together. So was I accurate?"
"Yes. So tell me what did He do while I was gone?" She didn't seem that interested; she seemed more agitated to be talking about "Him".
Akito searched for you for a long while. Then the Hokage declared you dead because we couldn't find any trace of you. May I ask some questions?"
"Be my guest."
"Why did you leave and where did you go?"
"To answer your first question. There some bad people in the world, they gave me memories that I wish never did happen and wish I could forget. Your second question is where I went I went home. But the past seems to follow no matter where you go.
I wonder what she meant be that?
# # # # # # # # Somewhere in the forest
Team seven was looking for the perfect hiding spot and they were trying to figure out where would be the last place she would look.
"So any ideas?" Naruto was the one to break the silence.
"Hn"
"The great Sasuke has spoken his great words of wisdom."
Sakura being Sakura felt that her beloved was in danger of Naruto's "stupidity".
"What is your problem Naruto. You've been nothing but rude, and violent, and, your different know." She started out in a yell and her voice started to fall almost like she was becoming depressed. But she's overly dramatic anyway. 'Maybe if I seem sad Sasuke-kun will comfort me.'
Unfortunately for her Sasuke wasn't even listening to her. He seemed to be in his own little world.
# # # # # # Sasuke's POV
(So the Great Sasuke-san was defeated). I look around to see if anyone else could hear it but it seems like they don't. Sakura continues to argue one-sidedly to Naruto. (What does it feel like to be beat like that). 'Why won't this voice leave me alone?'
(I can hear you, you know. I won't leave you alone because we made a pact long ago, and I will stay true to that pact). 'What the hell! What pact? I don't remember making a pact with anyone or anything.' We continue walking looking for a place to hide but all we see are trees.
"We don't we just hide in the trees. There's no other place to go." Naruto looked irritated for some reason. I just smirk to myself.
"Ok Sasuke-kun." Her single mindedness is really scary. It's almost like Naruto and his roman. Or me with Naruto. How sad.
"I just said that. But no one ever pays attention to me anyway."
"Sorry." I was said the one thing I thought I would never say to his face. Naruto suddenly stops his little rant and stares at me. Then he just looks away. We walk in silence once again. As we walk alone we see a huge tree. It's trunk had a hole in it that was big enough for us to fit in, yet not be see and the branches were think in bark and in leaves. I was perfect. Plus water was near it so we can run to the river if we get caught and fight them there. I notice the others have come to the same conclusion as well. We exchange looks and start to set traps around the area so we will know if they are near.
(This will be fun won't it Sasuke-san. I haven't seen her in such along time. I need someone to fight with or at least distract her in battle for a while. Yes this will be fun indeed.) I could hear his snickering in the back of my mind and was trying to ignore it unsuccessfully. But like the thing normally does, it just fades away but before it disappeared completely it said, (By the way Sasuke-san, my name is Ukata.) Ukata... that was an interesting name. And I just left it at that.
To be continued...
Next Chapter: Team seven has organized their new hiding spot and Kakashi and Aya are getting nearer. Ukata wants to see his old friend and decides to say hello. But the way he does it might cause someone become unstable. Next time on Fantasies of Torture Chapter 4: Old friends, Old enemies. See you next time.
