Chapter 187: Sasuke's Decision

Sasuke looked at them. If it had come at any other time, his answer would have been "No, get lost."… however he wasn't away of it… but…

The loss to his brother had weakened Kakashi's seal. Orochimaru's Seal was getting at her personality… if only just a little.

"I think I minds as well." Said Sasuke, "After all no one's trying to help me."

"Sasuke!" came a voice.

That was when Gaara appeared in his usual weird teleportation thing.

"Aw… Fuck…" muttered Tayuya.

Gaara glared at Tayuya, then turned to Sasuke.

"Are you really going to leave just because you're in a bad place?" asked Gaara.

"Shut up." Muttered Sasuke.

"Let us talk alone." Said Gaara glaring at them.

"Fine, whatever." Said Tayuya, "Come on."

Kidomaru gritted his teeth, he knew who Gaara was, both them jumped off the ship.

"You're going to talk me out of it?" asked Sasuke.

"Kakashi's seal weakened when you're brother defeated you." Said Gaara.

"So what's the point?" asked Sasuke.

"The seal causes you to slowly loose you're sanity." Said Gaara.

"How do you know this?" asked Sasuke.

"Kakashi warned me about it." Explained Gaara, "He also warned Robin…"

"Why didn't he warn me?" asked Sasuke.

"Would you have believed him?" asked Gaara.

Sasuke just glared at him, "I won't let you get in my way." Said Sasuke.

Sasuke got into a fighting stance.

"I won't let you leave." Said Gaara.

That was when Gaara's sand came out of his gourd.

"As long as I don't knock you out then it will be fine." Said Sasuke, that was when he took out hid sword.

"What do you mean?" asked Gaara.

"I've been toying around with the abilities of the Chidori." Said Sasuke.

That was when Sasuke's sword began to spark with electricity.

"What?" asked Gaara.

"I'm not sure what's going to happen but hopefully you won't be knocked out." Said Sasuke.

He ran towards, Gaara. Gaara used his sand to block. However the sword pierced the sand and hit Gaara's shoulder. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"I can't move." Thought Gaara.

"So it looks like it does do what I thought it would… paralyze." Gloated Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked and decided to leave the ship.

"Sasuke! Wait!" yelled a voice.

Sasuke turned around and saw both Ino and Sakura.

"Oh it's you two…" said Sasuke.

"We heard everything!" said Ino.

"Please don't leave." Sid Sakura.

"You can't stop me… no matter you say." Said Sasuke.

"Even bringing up the good times we've all had together?" asked Ino.

"Good times?" asked Sasuke, "Really? So getting eaten by a whale, almost becoming a wax statue and being launched into the air while trying to go an island made of clouds are considered good times. And those are only the things that I can't of on the top my head."

"But what about…" said Ino.

"Luffy is an idiot! He may be our captain but he should have been dead years ago!" yelled Sasuke, "There's nothing that you can do to stop me! I made my choice."

"Looks like we're going to have to team up again." Said Ino.

"Oh goody." Muttered Sasuke rolling his eyes.

Ino got into passion and sent out her Soul towards Sasuke who dodged causing Ino to pass out.

"That was foolish." Said Sasuke.

Sakura grabbed Sasuke by the arm.

"Let go of me!" yelled Sasuke.

"Just stop this Sasuke! I love you! Don't' you understand that! I won't let you leave! There is no way!" cried Sakura.

Sasuke sighed, "Sakura." He said, "Thank you."

That was when Sasuke punched her in the chest, knocking her out.

Gaara watched as Sasuke left the ship, while he wasn't able to move, his sand went down to the men's cabin and went to wake up Zoro, knowing he would be the only one to stop him.

With Sasuke he met up with Kidomaru and Tayuya who were now joined by Sakon and Jirobo.

"We will take you the ship." Said Tayuya.

"Don't try anything funny." Muttered Sasuke.

Below deck, Zoro was sleeping when he was woken up by the sand. He jolted awake as the sand pointed to the deck.

The sand also began to wake up the others in the room. Zoro got up and went up to the deck. He follow the trail of Sand and saw the Gaara who was recovering from Sasuke's attack, Sakura who was still unconscious and Ino finally regaining conciseness.

"Sasuke?" she asked.

She looked around, "He's gone." She said.

"Who's gone?" asked Zoro.

"Sasuke." Answered Ino.

With Sasuke and the members of the Sound 5 they arrived on the ship they were using. It was a very large ship with many smaller boats that could be easily deployed.

"So that's Sasuke." Said Kimimoro.

"So what of it?" asked Sasuke.

"If he's the one Lord Orochimaru wants then fine." Said Kimimoro.

"That's supposed to mean?" asked Sasuke narrowing his eyes.

"That guy Zoro… Kimimoro wants to fu…" said Tayuya.

"Don't curse…" muttered Jirobo.

"And I don't feel that way about him." Corrected Kimimoro.

"Whatever…" muttered Tayuya.

"There's something we need to talk about before we go." Said Kimimoro.

Back on the Going Merry… The rest of the crew woke up and arrived on Deck, Gaara managed to regain his ability to talk.

"Sasuke joined up with Sound." Said Gaara.

"What!" yelled Luffy.

"But he already said not the first time." Said Naruto.

"Kakashi warned me that the Cursed Seal has a side effect of warping its host's mind so that they are malleable so Orochimaru can use them." Said Robin.

"And you didn't tell us why?" asked Zoro.

"Because I didn't think all this would happen." Said Robin.

"None of us did." Said Gaara.

"If Kakashi was still here then it possible none of them would be happening." Said Robin.

"Either way we have to stop him." Said Luffy, "Nami which way to the dock?"

Nami sighed, this wasn't going to end well.

And so Luffy, Naruto, Zoro, Kiba (and Akamaru), Chopper and Robin all headed to the dock, unsure what they would find.

And when they got there, there wasn't a ship.

Zoro gritted his teeth, "We're too late." He muttered.

"Wait!" said Robin, "I can see the ship in the distance."

She pointed at it, while it was in the distance…

"That thing is huge!" yelled Naruto.

"That is definitely their ship." Said Kyubi.

"We'll have no problem following it." Said Luffy.

"Kit… I have a bad feeling about this… just letting you know." Said Kyubi.

"All right." Said Luffy, "Let's head back to the ship so we can follow it. We're getting Sasuke back, whether he likes I or not."

The others in the group nodded… not knowing what sort of fights they were going to have…

Next Time: They follow the ship that belongs to Sound, will they be able to stop Sasuke from making am mistake. Meanwhile The Sound Five tells Sasuke that there's a second level to the Cursed seal, but he must die to unlock it... what will happen? Find out next time!
