Chase Sasuke
"Where's Sasuke-kun?" Yukino asked. Naruto shrugged, "He ran away." "Sou desu ka?... Thanks anyway." "Wait Yukino-chan!" Naruto grabbed her hand. "Eh? You just called me Yukino-chan." Naruto smiled, "You see... um...," he quickly kissed her cheek.
Yukino arrived at our house. She was just about to enter when the door swung open. "S-Sasuke-kun?" "What're you doing here?" I asked. "I went to the hospital looking for you but Naruto-kun said you were gone so I thought—" I kissed her before she could finish the sentence. I pulled away and saw a box that she held, "What's that?" "It's supposed to be your dinner."
"Here." Yukino put the dinner on the table. I picked up the chopsticks, "Do you want to eat?" She shook her head, "No thanks."
"Where are you going? You were carrying a bag when I saw you." I avoided her eyes, "I'm leaving Konoha to seek power from Orochimaru." Her eyes widened, "Why? He's the one who killed Hokage-sama." I gritted my teeth, "Don't tell me what to do." "But—" I pinned her to the wall, "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I HAVE MY OWN WAY IN SEEKING REVENGE TO THAT ITACHI!" She closed her eyes as a tear fell from her eye, "I understand." I let her go and she fell on the ground. She was crying. My expression softened and kneeled in front of her. I wiped away her tears, "Come on. I'll take you home."
The Uchiha house is not far from Yukino's. It's just two streets away but neither of us spoke until we arrived in front of her house. "So this is goodbye," Yukino said. I smiled, "What're you talking about? I'll come back for you when this is over." "Sasuke-kun." I hugged and kissed her once again.
We both parted when we were out of breath. I smiled at her, "Bye." and with that, I walked away. "Sasuke-kun," Yukino called, "Be careful." "I will."
Reiji: PPPPAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUSSSSSEEEEE!
Sasuke: Damn Reiji! You don't have to shout that loud.
Reiji: (smiles) Heheh... It's Neji's turn to narrate, mmmmiiinnnaaaaa---!
Sasuke and Neji: (knocks Reiji's head) Uruse!
It was early morning when Haku heard a knock on their door. "Yukino!" Naruto called from the outside. Haku opened the door, "Naruto-kun?" "Is Yukino up?" Kiba asked. "What's happening, Onii-san?" Yukino asked. "There you are." "We have something to talk about," Shikamaru said, "Will you come with us in getting back Sasuke?" Haku looked at Yukino, So that's why she's been crying last night. "Sasuke-kun will get angry," Yukino said, looking down on the ground. "So you knew this?" Naruto asked. Yukino nodded, "He doesn't want to be ordered around." "That's why we want you to come with us," Naruto insisted, "He'll listen to you." "He's confused," Haku said, "He needs guidance, Yukino." "Onii-san..." Haku nodded at Yukino. She smiled, "I'll come with you."
"So you know any other talented Genins?" Naruto asked. The five shinobis (Kiba, Shikamaru, Naruto, Chouji and Yukino) runs through the street to the entrance gate to Konoha. "Speaking of Genins," Kiba said, "There are two of 'em over there."
"Alright!" Naruto shouted excitedly, "Everyone follow me!" "Hey," Shikamary interrupts, "You know Naruto, I'll be the one in charge however troublesome it may be." Naruto made a face, "Are you sure it will be okay if I leave everything to you? You seem not reliable." "But Shikamaru is a Chuunin now. We have to follow orders," Chouji said, "It's a sign that the village leaders have accepted him as one of them." "In that case, please act like a leader and make a plan," I said, "From what we heard, there is a high probability that they are expecting us." "For the time being, we're on the offense," Shikamaru replied, "That means that it would be easy for the enemy to make the first move. That's why in order to avoid the enemy's random attacks, I will be deciding the formation. If you ignore me and act on your own, everyone will die." Yukino gasped, This mission sounds pretty dangerous. "The formation will be a line," Shikamaru continued, "The forerunner has the most important and crucial task. Kiba, that's you. You traveled with Akamaru before so you know the geography of Konoha. Your nose works pretty well. Not only can you follow Sasuke from his scent but you can also be able to detect the enemy's booby traps easily. Suppose there's an attack from the front. Since you are with Akamaru, you'll be alright even if you are isolated. The second will be me, the leader. Since I'll be able to see the situation, I can give out orders to Kiba. To the rear members, I can give orders by hand signals. Then the next is Naruto. Because of your explosive self, you are perfect for giving aid in all directions. So you are best in center, the center of help. Also, you know Kage Bunshin. The fourth is Chouji. You don't have speed but you have the most physical power because of your size. Although it may be awkward, Kiba, Naruto and I are going to use you as a base, as in home base. Next is Yukino. In case that there's an attack from behind, you can easily create a counterattack because of your flexibility. Finally Neji. I will ask you to do the most difficult and complicated task. By using your Byakugan, you'll be able to scan and check the area," Shikamaru kneeled and took out a scroll, "Okay. Let me show you," he drew on it, "Make sure you are in this order. Kiba as forward, myself as backup forward, Naruto as right, Chouji as left, Yukino as back and Neji, I ask you to use Byakugan to scan the back area."
"And finally, this is the important thing that I have to say," Shikamaru said, "I don't have deep attachment to Sasuke nor is he someone that I like. But he is one of Konohagakure's shinobi, a comrade. That is why we risk our lives to save him. This is the Konoha view. Eventhough I don't like doing troublesome things, I am responsible for your lives." Kiba smiled, "Heh! Now you're starting to sound more like a Chuunin."
"Alright. Let's go." "Wait!" We turned around and saw... Haruno Sakura. "I heard the story from Hokage-sama," Shikamaru said, "Sorry but I can't bring you on this mission even if you weren't able to convince Sasuke, were you?" I worriedly looked at Yukino as she avoided Sakura's eyes. "All that is left for us is to force him to understand," Shikamaru continued, "Sakura, your chance is over." Naruto gasped, "That means you and Sasuke..." I glared at Naruto, Just shut up and don't mention Sasuke. Yukino might back out in this mission. Sakura began to cry, "Naruto, I beg you. Please bring back Sasuke. I couldn't do it. I couldn't stop him. Now the only one left that could stop Sasuke is you Naruto... Only you." Naruto forced himself to smile, "You like Sasuke very much. Right now you are in pain, a pain I know very well." "Naruto... Arigatou." He made a thumbs up sign, "I will definitely bring back Sasuke. That's the promise of a lifetime." "Oi Naruto. Are you sure that it's okay to say something like that?" Kiba asked. "Hn! I don't take back my word," Naruto replied, "That's my way of a ninja." "We've lost a bit of time. Let's hurry."
fast forward to...
Kiba, Shikamaru, Naruto and Yukino continued on following Sasuke. Unexpectedly, Yukino slips on a branch. "Yukino-chan!" Naruto caught her in his arms, "Are you alright?" "I-I'm fine. I'm sorry to cause you trouble," Yukino replied as she blushed. "Hey, Yukino," Kiba called, "It's very rare for you to trip. What happened?" "It's nothing. I just made a wrong step," she replied, ... and recalled the words that Neji-kun told me...
"There's no way that you should give up. Sasuke is in darkness and you are his light. Aside from Naruto, you are one of the people who can stop him. You are his hope and life..." I told her before I was left to fight the six-armed ninja (Kidoumaru).
fast forward to...
"Here we come!" The three remaining Genins (Shikamaru, Yukino and Naruto) tries to attack Tayuya. Shikamaru pulled out a kunai and attacks Tayuya while she blocks it with her flute, "Now Naruto, Yukino!" Naruto and Yukino are above them and they intentionally landed on another tree. Naruto smiled, "Heh heh! That was a trick but it was a success. See ya later!" he stuck his tongue at Tayuya and follows the mysterious guy who took Sasuke (Kaguya Kimimaru). "Be careful, Shikamaru," Yukino said before she followed Naruto. She sensed Naruto's chakra rise incredibly, "Naruto-kun, let me handle the next battle." "Uruse!" he angrily said, "I want to beat that guy up!" "Naruto-kun, while I fight with him, you should get Sasuke," Yukino said."Yukino?" Naruto lowered his chakra as he realized that it would be a good idea to take advantage of their number. They eventually caught up with Kimimaru. Yukino pulled out her senbon and attacked him.
"Too slow," Kimimaru boastfully said as he charges at Yukino which turns into a log. "A Bunshin?" The real Yukino appeared behind and gives him a hard kick which sent him flying into the air. She throws senbon at him once again but he disappeared. Kimimaru was behind her, "As I said, you're too slow but fast enough for a kid like you," he said before he stabs her. His weapon passed through Yukino's back to her stomach. "Yukino-chan!" Naruto shouted as he saw Kimimaru's weapon passed through Yukino. Kimimaru roughly pulled his weapon back.
"Yukino-chan! Yukino-chan, hold on!" She tried to open her eyes, "N-Naruto-kun, save Sasuke-kun. I'll... be... alright..." Yukino fainted, poweless. Naruto looked at the unconscious Yukino. Worn-out, her blood continuously flowing from her open wound. Naruto looked at Kimimaru, What a guy! I can't even get back Sasuke while Yukino-chan is fighting with him.
fast forward to...
Gaara stood, "Let's head back to Konoha and bring the two of you to the hospital." He carried Yukino bridal style, (he can't carry her on his back because of his gourd) "Can you manage to stand?" Lee nodded, "Yes but you haven't recovered your full strength from the fight." "As long as I can move, it's enough. This girl's pulse beat is slower than normal."
"She's lucky that she got treated in time," the doctor said, "Her vital points are slightly damaged and she lost a lot of blood so she has to stay in the hospital." Gaara heard the conversation so he decided to visit Yukino in her room.
Gaara looked around the room. No one. He saw Yukino sleeping on her bed. He slightly smiled, She's going to be alright. I don't have to worry anymore. He sat and stoked her cheek. He leaned. Their faces inches apart. He continues to lean until... The door opened. "There you are Gaara," Temari said, "We've been looking all over for you and... oh." They saw Gaara leaning on Yukino, about to kiss her. He blushed and backed away, "Couldn't you knock before entering!" His two sibling laughed, "Gaara... I didn't know you like someone," Temari said. Kankuro smiled, "She's darn cute, no wonder he likes her. Right Gaara?" They left the room before Gaara snaps. He sighed and looked at Yukino, Yeah, she's cute...
