Last time

"Think about it, that girl always gets in the way of your love anyways…and that sensei of yours. Doesn't he always come late? Like he hates even helping you. Naruto, don't you want to be with him forever…I can make that possible Sasuke…kill them…and bring him to me…and kill them!"

"Sasuke? You alright?" Naruto's gentle voice rung through the raven's ears as he snapped out of his daze.

"H-hai." He nodded as the approached another branching wing in the road. 'Together…forever huh?'

Sasuke's darkened eye's looked over at the creamy face of the blonde. How he just wanted to confess his love to the boy on the spot. However, the thought of rejection pushed him back. His soul fearing such a response, his thoughts distracted to him to where Sakura's question on which way to go now, was unheard. Instead, Sasuke heard the familiar haunting voice of Sae in the back of his mind. Closing his eyes for a moment as Naruto and Sakura constantly argued on which way was better and all the reasons for their opinion's when the raven haired ninja walked in front of them both, his back's to them as he looked at the ground like a puppet whose string to the head had been cut. "I'm sorry….I have to go now." He whispered to the pair whom had ceased their grumbling, only to have a pair of shocked gasps as he took off towards the right, in-between two houses.

"No, not this again!" Naruto growled as they gave chase to the boy, turning onto another dirt road and down some stone steps.

Reaching the last of the old cracking stones, Naruto paused as he waited for Sakura, which he would miserably regret in a moment. Turning the corner, they found themselves in a large open area with a huge traditional wooden gate in the back, and whom was already pushing it open? None other then the Uchiha which Naruto believed to be possessed at this point. "Sasuke!" The blonde cried out, running after the raven with haste.

To late. As the ninja had approached the now closing door, he had spun around at Sakura's sudden scream of terror; letting the gate door's creak shut. Surrounding Sakura were the very same villagers whom had attacked Kakashi, so what did that mean? Did the sensei, no! That wasn't important right now. Rushing towards the crowd, Naruto whistled loudly, causing the ghosts to moan and turn their lifeless head's towards him. A mild sweat now running down his back, the boy got in a fighting position before smirking. "I'll defiantly get Sasuke back!" He said to more of himself then anyone as he ran for the group that consisted of seven ghosts, all with a torch or pole in hand.

Pass the gate, Sasuke walked slowly over a bridge that was held over the water. Many holes and broken boards could be spotted in the darkness without a light. The rotting wood groaned under the boy's weight as he walked towards the gate at the other side, a huge house on the inside of huge stone walls. Waiting for him with open arms, was Sae; her voice drawing him closer as he listened to her and ghosts that tugged at his mind.

"I kept waiting and waiting…I knew you would come back…it is the destiny of the sacrifice." Sae whispered as he reached the mid-way point.

The boy didn't reply to her comment's as other voices swam in his head. "Masumi, where did you go? Without you…I'm…" Miyako's familiar raspy voice etched at his soul.

"It's coming! The darkness is coming!…Dark…Dark…Dark!" This one sounded similar to the woman in the box that Sasuke had wandered upon.

Still, the faint steps of the Uchiha didn't cease. He kept dragging towards his destination, his mind taken over by the very evil spirit he had promised the longing spirit of Yae to save.

Naruto's body ached as the last apparition of a villager fell to the ground in a heap; reaching towards the boy asking for help. Wiping the crimson liquid from his mouth where a villager had nicked him with a pole, the blonde wasted no time to run over to the gate where Sakura had currently stood. Figuring it wouldn't open, since the girl had not edged for them to press on, Naruto took a closer look at the wooden wall before them. "We need the key's." Sakura whispered, her pale finger tips brushing along the carving of a metal slot, obvious that something was needed for it.

Naruto pressed his face up against the door, sighing at the hopeless situation. Looking closer at the top of the lock, the blonde noticed a design on it. "A butterfly?"

"Then that's the key's symbol. We have to look for a key with that picture on it."

Naruto rubbed his temple, not wanting to think about anything complicated at the moment. 'Sasuke, give me a clue…please.' He prayed before opening his eyes, a flash of white light meeting his eyes as his mind was pulled in by, what seemed like a miracle later on. Naruto stood in front of a bared window, talking to someone whom he couldn't make out. Watching the scene, a crimson butterfly suddenly landed on the boy's nose, its wings spreading out and it's tiny eyes gazing into Naruto's.

"Naruto?"

Opening his eyes, Sakura stood a few feet from him, pointing towards the path up to the stair's again. A lone crimson butterfly fluttered in the air; like a dog saying 'hey, follow me.'

"Works for me!" Naruto whispered trudging after the small insect with Sakura following close behind.

The butterfly had led them all the way back to the first house they had visited, one which Naruto just realized had a name of it's own. Hanging limply in the wind was a sign that clung to the house with a small string; the word's Osaka faded from the carving.

Continuing down the dirt road a bit more, the blonde fell over onto his knee's; feeling as though something heavy had been placed around his frail neck. His head suddenly exploded when a familiar voice rang through his mind. 'Sasuke!' Naruto realized, not even listening to Sakura; who now crouched beside him in attempt to help him up. "Crimson butterfly…It's calling me…Calling me deep into the village….No! It's not us!"

His mind finally stopped swimming as he heard Sakura practically scream into his ears. "Sasuke! Naruto, your crystal from Hokage-sama is glowing and I swear I heard-"

"Yes I know. For some reason, we're still connected." Naruto said, a faint smile appearing on his face, puzzling the pink haired ninja.

'We'll always be connected….as long as Sasuke is still alive.' Naruto told himself, praying with all his might that he was right. 'I'll get you back Sasuke….and then, I am going to tell you how I feel before something happens to you again…Sasuke…wait for me. I'll be there soon….believe it!'
