Sakura was hunched over healing Naruto from his four tails transformation. Kira was in the process of healing her upper torso area. She could still feel her skin bubbling from when he touched her. "Captain Yamato...that jutsu you used to pacify Naruto. Could you please teach it to me?" Sakura was feeling absolutely worthless.

Not only did Naruto get hurt but so did Kira because of her carelessness. She thought that if she had just somehow convinced Naruto he would have calmed down. But she was being an idiot. "I'm sorry but that would be impossible, I am the only one in Konoha who can use that jutsu, and only because I carry the Lord first's DNA within me." Even saying that Kira could tell that it pained him to think about. Turns out he knew all along and Orochimaru bringing it up just gave the man more pain.

"Yet all I am is an experiment...a pale copy of the original first power. Yes I have power but nowhere near enough to forcibly suppress the nine tails chakra…" Kira cringed hearing him speak that way. She wasn't used to him speaking in such a way. Sure they had only been on two missions prior to this one but she had gotten to know him somewhat or maybe she hadn't.

Getting up from the ground Kira made her way over to her group quickly taking notice that Kabuto was missing. Did Yamato think it best to let him go? Kira figured they could use a little persuasion to get information out of him. Everyone has a breaking point. If she learned anything from Ibiki sensei then she knew that anyone can and would talk.

She thought about asking her captain but figured he did it for a reason. That must be it. "That necklace around Naruto's neck used to belong to the first Hokage." Kira frowned, she remembered why Naruto got that necklace in the first place. Their trip with Jiraiya to bring Lady Tsunade back to Konoha. Their battle with Orochimaru, Kabuto telling Naruto that she loved him. It was a n eventful trip. Then of course not even two days after we got home Sasuke runs off to Orochimaru…

Kira zoned back into reality seeing Sakura crying. "It's always like this...The only thing I can ever do for Naruto are these little things."

"You're just talking stupid now." Kira growled not liking her little pity party. It was almost as bad as how she used to be when they were younger. Yamato nodded at the gray haired girls words "She's right. It doesn't matter whether the things you do are small or large, what matters is how much you care about Naruto."

"Listen Sakura you're stronger and smarter than me and Naruto. If it wasn't for you we'd have been done for lots of times." Kira confessed trying to make the girl feel better, though if truth be told Kira was still miffed about her charging after Naruto in such a bad shape. It was clear that talking to Naruto wasn't going to fix anything but she just up and tried to get herself killed!

Didn't Kakashi teach her anything?! Observe the situation and then attack! Ugh how blind could she be! Kira hoped this mission would help them with something and get an idea on to bring Sasuke back then she could go back to her other missions.

"Sakura? Oh...ow!" Naruto moaned sitting up clutching his chest. His blue eyes looked around quickly noticing Sakura and Yamato kneeling beside him and Kira standing against one of the trees. As soon as Sakura saw Naruto start moving tears burst free. He was okay!

"Naruto!"

"Huh? What happened? Why am I...Whoa! Why're you crying Sakura? Kira what happened?" Naruto shot to his feet growling and glaring all around him in search for someone. "I swear if that sharp tongued sai said something hurtful to you like ugly, or monster strength I will personally kick his ass!" Sakura growled reaching forward and punching Naruto in the head. Though Naruto was the only one who called Sakura Monster Strength, Naruto did bring up a point.

Where was Sai? "You're the snake moron! Adding Monster Strength to the list!"

"Where is Sai anyway?" Kira voiced her confusion watching both Sakura and Naruto look around confused. He should be here. "And what happened to the bridge?" Naruto muttered shocked. The bridge was in shambles. He was a little fuzzy after he woke, he wished he could recall what made him pass out in the first place but he just couldn't place his finger on it. And then there was Kira.

She looked like she was in a lot of pain but was trying to hide it. Sakura had reached toward her a few times only to get a glare in response. What was that about? "Sai? He's on the move with Orochimaru now."

"What?!" All three teens yelled surprised. Why would Sai go off with Orochimaru?! "What do you mean?"

"The three of you come with me." Captain Yamato took the three teens to the last place Sai had been. They were in the middle of a giant crater. A quick glance at their surroundings and you could only guess how this happened. Sakura was staring at Naruto in shock. Could he really be capable of doing this? Naruto just didn't seem to have a clue how this had happened.

"The soil's real soft here...The bridge is wrecked, and all this…? What the heck happened?" Naruto finally asked looking at his friends and captain trying to find an answer.

"You don't remember anything?"

"Wait does this have something to do with why I was unconscious?"

Sakura glanced at her friend unsure what to do or say. Maybe he doesn't need to know. They could probably pretend that this was all Orochimaru's doing, it practically was. "You got attacked and knocked out by Orochimaru." Kira stared at Sakura confused, so she wasn't going to tell him? Let him be in the dark again?

"No way? Seriously?!" Naruto moaned annoyed. He couldn't believe that after all his training and hard work he put in those past three years that he just passed out!

Kira glared at the ground fidgeting with her right hand gliding her nails over the metal picking at one of the screws. 'Why'd you lie to him?'

'He doesn't need to know. It's not his fault. It's Orochimaru's remember.' Kira rolled her eyes the metal under her nail scraping sound echoed through her ears 'He can't be in the dark about this Sakura. He has a right to know.'

'Maybe he doesn't need to! You saw how he was. When he finds out that he did this and he hurt you, he'll be a mess! At least I'm trying to save him some heartache.' Save Naruto heartache? She didn't want to hurt her best friend but she knew that he didn't like being kept in the dark about things, especially about himself. He had the right to know.

Sakura had bent down picking up Sai's picture book, thats when Captain Yamato explained what had happened. "After exchanging words with Orochimaru here, Sai left with him and Kabuto."

"What do you mean by left with?"

"So you also know what they said to each other." Sakura nodded wanting to know what he knew. "Unfortunately my double was too far away to overhear their conversation."

Naruto held his chin in thought "Wonder what they talked about…"

"Maybe he was threatened or intimidated to come with them?" Sakura tried using the benefit of the doubt to explain why Sai left. It didn't make sense why would Sai want to work with Orochimaru. He had constantly talked down about Sasuke for betraying Konoha and joining Orochimaru and here Sai just up and left with him. It didn't make any sense.

"He's not trust worthy." Kaida growled through her chest as she looked over the area. The strong smell of ink was all she could smell at the moment. When Sakura said the name Danzo Kira looked up again away from her thoughts. She could still feel Kaida growling in her chest the more she heard. "Danzo is a member of the Hawk faction that once opposed the third Hokage." Kira spoke up informing Sakura and Naruto on who Danzo was.

At Sakura's shocked words Kira just rolled her eyes. "When you reach Jonin you have to do a lot of studying. I know you'd know that since you work with Lady Tsunade more than I do Sakura." Sakura flushed red and looked away. "Of course I know that. I just didn't know you knew about him."

"Who is he?" Naruto asked either Captain Yamato or Kira about Danzo. Sakura was the one to answer Naruto's question though. "He's an old geezer who is Sai's superior and doesn't think highly of the thirds legacy."

Captain Yamato hmmed to himself before speaking "It could be possible that Danzo's plotting something using Sai." At Naruto's confused stare Yamato continued. "It's possible that Sai received orders from Danzo to carry out some top secret mission separate from ours."

It was some more arguing before they finally agreed it was time to go. Naruto didn't have enough energy to go forward and ended up falling on his face. While Sakura and Kira wanted to wait a little bit longer for Naruto to feel better. Captain Yamato was adamant on leaving without Naruto. Sakura was the first to yell at the answer. "Master Kakashi would never…!" She started but Naruto stopped her. "S'okay Sakura I'm fine I swear. I can keep up." Naruto promised.

Shaking her head Kira crouched down focusing on Naruto's wounds before placing her left hand on his cheek. Naruto stared wide eyed at Kira shocked. He hadn't been under her healing touch in such a long time that he almost forgot the cool water effect washing over him. Right away he could feel his body start to grow stronger. It wasn't like before, her eyes remained the same they didn't have that glowing bright blue light emitting from her eyes.

The effects still felt the same but it looked like she was in more control than. When she pulled away Kira felt her eyes zone in and out of focus for a moment before going back to normal. It didn't help that she was still healing herself from the Nine tails attack but also having to heal Naruto as well. She thought Sakura had healed him! Cant this girl do anything right today?!

"Thanks Kira,"

"Look I've teamed with Kakashi before, in the black ops. I know what he's like. I may be his substitute but I'm not him. I'm not the type to laugh and say 'I would never let you guys get hurt' You three are no longer apprentice ninja that need to be protected. You're full fledged shinobi that must one day surpass Kakashi and bear Konoha on your shoulders. There is a difference between compassion and coddling." Sakura looked down upset with herself she didn't want to lose Orochimaru but she also didn't want to have to leave Naruto alone. She completely ignored Kira touching his cheek. "If we don't chase after them now, we'll never catch Orochimaru. If we falter now, it's all over. There are no second chances when it comes to Orochimaru."

Standing up Kira faced her captain. "While I don't agree with you leaving Naruto behind I understand what you mean Yamato. I wouldn't care if you and Sakura had left without us but I can't leave Naruto behind when he's like this." Captain Yamato sighed shaking his head. "It might be stupid to you but we've always had this pact. We don't leave the other behind." Naruto sat up out of Sakura's lap feeling much better a smirk on his lips.

He was glad that she still had his back no matter what. Now it was definitely time to get moving. They were losing daylight and they needed to catch up to Orochimaru. "I feel great now. Thanks to Kira, lets go!"

They ran into the woods following after Yamato as quickly as they could. They were on the trail Orochimaru had been, everything was going smoothly. As smoothly as it could go until Kira tripped. A small yelp escaped her lips as she started falling she quickly caught herself staring wide eyed at the tree trunk she clutched onto. "Kira?!"

"Are you okay?" Sakura gasped looking back pausing in her step. Yamato stood on one of the branches staring back at the girl. "I'm okay slipped." she muttered clenching her eyes tightly, she didn't want the others to know, but her vision had gone out of focus again. She missed the branch because she couldn't see. She hated that feeling but she wasn't about to let the others see her like this. Getting a good grip on reality Kira nodded to the others telling them she was ready to go.

Yamato smiled at the group "I think we should take a break,"

Kira stared at her captain confused. She had said she was fine just a few minutes ago. "But you said that if we falter here, it's all over!"

"I know what I said Sakura, but I also said Haste makes Waste. Charging in right now might get the job done, but being rash and reckless most certainly will not." Naruto nodded grinning over at Kira and Sakura "Yeah and it could do us some good to catch our breaths."

"Now that Sai's gone, you'll be my wingman in battle Naruto. And since we have a moment, lets work out our attack patterns, come with me."

While Naruto and Captain Yamato went off a little bit away from the two Kira and Sakura sat on the ground. Kira was glad that she could catch her breath. She felt so weak and pathetic at the moment for slowing them down. They needed to get moving.

"We are not weak." Kaida growled at her. "Remember, you were trained by Kakashi." Kaida's words made a small smile on her lips. She was right, they weren't weak. The stress and miscalculation in her step. She was fine.

"Hey Kira check this out." Looking over she saw Sakura looking through Sai's picture book." The front and back were of two little boys. One a white haired and the other Black. On the side of the black haired boy it shows him battling constant enemies and then taking their weapons and armor for the next enemy until it just stops with the black haired boy standing alone with his arm outstretched. Then it's the same process with the white haired boy though the only problem was he didn't stand alone in the end like the black haired boy had. Captain Yamato and Naruto soon joined and looked through the book making speculations. It was Sakura who realized that the white haired boy was Sais brother.

So the two boys were Sai and his older brother. Soon enough the four were off again shooting through the woods to Sai's location. When they did reach the other Yamato they were just in the middle of a rocky barren sort of place. It didn't look like a hide out to the naked eye but from just a handful of missions Kira had been on she knew looks could be deceiving.

"This is it?" Yamato spoke to his clone. "The entrance is under the rock formation directly in front of us." the clone answered back staring intently at the rocks.

"So in there is Sasuke?"

"Yep."

"Lets bring him home." Kira called softly reaching over to squeeze Naruto's hand. Their eyes met and she saw his worry. It had been three years since they last saw him. So much about them has changed. Naruto was more in control of his beast, Sakura was Lady Tsunade's pupil, heck! Kira lost an arm! But she was still one of the smartest and strongest people he knew. They weren't little kids anymore.

"Alright, lets go." Naruto walked forward to be stopped by Yamato. "Wait." Yamato had absorbed his clone and held out three wooden seeds. "Swallow this first Naruto you too Sakura." They stared wide eyed at Kira as she reached forward to take one of the seeds. "So if we get separated I can locate you right away."

Kira scrunched her nose up thinking about taking this seed. She hated it in the past, but knew it was necessary in case of anything. She was just so bad at taking pills. Tucking the seed down into the pocket of her jacket she at least had it on her.

"Our order of infiltration will be me first, then sakura, then Kira, and Naruto bringing up the rear." Nodding her head she was ready. Shifting her sleeve up Kira ran her fingers over the metal once more feeling for any imperfection. Finding none she was pleased with herself she rolled the sleeve back down. "And the infiltration method?"

"By the book, I'll use earth style jutsu and we'll approach from underground." Nodding her head she smirked to her friends. The ground opened up beneath them and all three hopped in one by one. As soon as Naruto was in the ground the hole closed up trapping them underground. They walked slowly through the ground till they reached a large sided rock. It was dark and hard to see but trusting their ears Kira listened to the Captain.

"Looks like the hideout is completely surrounded by rock." Naruto started to panic crawling forward brushing past Kira "Let me blast a hole through with my rasengan."

"No it might alert the enemy."

Yamato moved his hand along the rock feeling for the most hard surface before he created an opening. They squeezed out and quickly made their way to where Sai was. Some twists and turns later they were at a locked door, Kira heard a soft rapid heart beat on the other side of the door. He was definitely in there.

Yamato placed his hand over the door handle noticing it was locked and quickly using his finger to manipulate the lock and open the door "There you are," Kira, Sakura, and Naruto walking right inside staring Sai down waiting for an explanation.

"Trust a black ops member directly linked to the Hokage not to be fooled by a fake corpse." Sai smiled shaking his head. "Now, why don't you tell us whats going on?"

Naruto was too quick to be stopped, he stormed up to Sai grabbing onto the front of his shirt and pulled him closer so that they were face to face. "Yeah jerk! Why'd you betray us!" Kira rushed forward pulling Naruto back wrapping her left hand over Naruto's mouth. "Naru quiet down please, I know your mad but try to be quiet." she whispered softly clutching onto her best friend.

"But he…" he mumbled under her hand.

"She's right, I wouldn't make so much noise if I were you. It'll lead to trouble." Sai smiled again making Naruto grumble "You lousy…"

"Naruto!" Sakura hissed. Naruto let go of Sai scoffing and muttering a whatever. "Here, this is yours isn't it?" Sakura handed Sai back his picture book. He took it and gave a soft thanks. "Danzo gave you orders, didn't he? He's trying to ally with Orochimaru for some purpose and you were selected to be their go between. So whats he planning?" Sakura asked never looking away from Sai. Sakura's intense stare caused Sai to actually tell them about the plan.

"He's proposing Operation: Destroy Konoha." Sai admitted.

"Take two isn't he?"

"No you're…"

Naruto snarled glaring at Sai again "Stop smiling! I know your faking it! Everything you said is nothing but a big fat lie!"

Sai looked over the group quickly noting Kira's tick had started up again. "Well now you've finally figured me out, seems my mission is officially a failure. But since I can't take on all of you together and since you've guessed so much already. There's no point in hiding the truth any longer. You are correct the plan was to get rid of Konoha as we know of it."

They cringed knowing that was the answer they feared. "My assignment was to find an opportunity to approach Orochimaru and entice him to help destroy Konoha." Captain Yamato extended his arm pointing his Kunia at Sai in a demanding manor. "Keep talking, I want all the details."

Naruto snarled clenching his fists angrily. "What more is there to know?! He's a traitor and a…" Naruto started "Do not rush to judge me, Naruto until you have all the facts." Sakura and Naruto stared at the boy confused "I was also ordered to secretly report back Orochimaru's activities to Lord Danzo." Kira and Yamato glance at one another "In short to act as his spy."

"Enter a conspiracy with Orochimaru while playing him at the same time? Thats an extremely dangerous game." Sakura warned crossing her arms over her chest.

Kira held her chin staring at the boy. "I'm guessing that if Orochimaru had destroyed Konoha you'd want to have some information on him in order to have the upper hand?" Sai nodded. "That is correct." Shaking her head Kira looked up at the male. "While that would help you out thats still extremely dangerous. Orochimaru would kill you as soon as he was suspicious of foul play. I'm surprised he hasn't killed you yet."

Sakura frowned speaking up now. "So Danzo wants Konoha for himself. And you were sent in alone, to sent this all into motion." Sai nodded again "I was specifically chosen for this mission because of my abilities. The intelligence I write in ink can transform itself into little creatures that can defend themselves on their way back to Konoha."

"Thats not a good thing Sai!" Kira snapped glaring at the male. "If Konoha dies a lot of people will die! Innocent people! Do you have any idea of the consequences of what you're doing?!" Sakura screamed. "Sai how can you…?"

"Oh, Sai is just a name I was given for the purpose of this mission. I'm actually nobody." Nobody? What does he mean by that? "I am merely an extension of Lord Danzo's will. I myself do not exist. Therefore it is useless to say anything to me."

Shaking her head Kira couldn't stand hearing this any longer. It was like talking to a brick wall. A useless cause indeed. "Then why do you carry around that picture book?" Sakura seemed to have caught Sai off guard. "The two boys on the covers are you and your brother, right? You hang onto it because it's the only thing that proves you do exist." At his confused stare she continued. "You're not as emotionless as you've had everyone believe."

Kira glanced over at Naruto noticing his scowl. She didn't need to be a mind reader to know what he was thinking. He was thinking that it was utter bullshit that Sai believed he was nothing. That he was human just as much as he was. Sakura and Yamato explained the meaning they found in Sai's picture book startling him. They didn't have much time though so after tying the boy up the group were outside once more under the bright sun.

Sai had spoken about how he had seen Sasuke and how he didn't want to be saved. "He only gave a reaction when it came to Kira-san." Looking up confused Kira stared at the boy "He was not pleased at all when I spoke your name. Why is it?"

Sakura stared at Kira confused, she didn't know what he was talking about but the look on her friends face showed that she knew something. Scratching the back of her neck she gave into her fears and let them roll free for the sake of the mission. Glancing away from Sakura she started to pull off her glove to her left hand "Before he left, when we were younger Sasuke had this strange idea in his head that we'd get married and have children together...the day after he left I noticed this on my hand." She showed off the mark watching as Sakura's eyes widen in shock.

It had been three years and she had no idea that she had that! How could she have been so blind? She always kept her hands covered, she just thought she didn't want people staring at the metal arm! Wait what?! She wasn't serious about Sasuke wanting to marry her was she? Sasuke didn't want to marry her! Sasuke was closer to Sakura than he was Kira. They never spent any time together like they had.

"The day he left after he jumped out of the coffin Sasuke had this strange look in his eyes and tried to bring me with him…" Frowning Kira jumped back glaring in front of her. Everyone jumped away.

Kabuto appeared protecting Sai. Kira grumbled glaring at the male he just kept appearing everywhere! "Sai, judging by your situation I suppose this means you were captured. Since it doesn't seem you've betrayed us, I'll trust you for now."

"This guy just doesn't give up." Sakura muttered staring at Kabuto's relaxed stance "I swear someone just knock him out or something. He keeps interfering in things he shouldn't," Kira snapped glaring at the male. He smirked in her direction "Aw Kira I didn't know thats how you felt about me. I'm touched."

"Piss off."

Naruto was quick to send his clones in with a rasengan but Kabuto was able to kick them away with ease. It surprised everyone when Sai was the one to hold Kabuto back. "What are you doing?!" He grumbled glaring behind him.

"You say people change, and here I am."

"What?!"

"But there are also things that don't change. Bonds. I want to see what they're really made of." Kira couldn't believe how confused she was. One minute Sai was betraying us and the next he was holding Kabuto down spouting crap about bonds and wanting to know more? What was with this guy?

Captain Yamato was quick to tying Kabuto up in his wood binding jutsu but all Sakura, Kira, and Naruto could do was stare at Sai. "Sai, why did you…"

"Why is it that you place so much value in the bonds between you and Sasuke-Kun. What exactly are those bonds you speak of, I decided I need to know the answer to these questions myself. According to the three of you, I've been unable to get rid of the bonds that formed between me and my those bonds are so important to me then I might be able to figure out if I see the 'bonds' between you and Sasuke-kun. Thats all."

Naruto smiled at the male, maybe he wasn't so bad after all. "The five of you don't know the real Sasuke-kun." Kabuto mocked before starting to laugh to himself. "Whats so funny!?" Sakura demanded sweat from her nerves already forming on her face. "Tell us where Sasuke is."

Thought Kabuto was pissed he gave them the information they seeked. "He should be done with training about now back in his inner chamber there are a large number of rooms strewn all throughout the lair if you end up looking in each as you go, you might find him. Still, if you aren't careful, you might chance upon a snake as well. Orochimaru keeps his quarters in the same area, after all."

"I thank you for being so honest." Captain Yamato nods his head to the male sitting against the rock formation. "Oh no, you really shouldn't be thanking me."

"You expect us, the hunters to become the prey then?"

"Precisely."


Sasuke felt his chest heave as he made his way back to his room. Kira walking beside him skipping happily as she always did. "I love it when you're able to show up that old man. You're amazing Sasuke!" He smirked at her words, she always knew how to make him feel better. "I can't believe they brought in that new guy, he's so weird. And what was with that fake smile too."

Sasuke nodded waiting till they were alone in his room to speak. As soon as the door shut he relaxed his shoulders standing in the darkness that was his room. He didn't need light to navigate to his bed. "Who did he think he was talking about you." Sasuke growled glaring at the floor. His fists clenched so tight they were white.

Sasuke glared at the three figures that just entered the darkened base "Greetings my name is Sai. You must be Uchiha Sasuk…"

"Get lost."

The male known as Sai sighed looked down annoyed. "Even when I force myself to smile it seems I'm the type of person who ends up being hated. And Naruto-kun didn't seem to care much for me the whole time too. But you know, in comparison to Naruto-kun, I think I'm going to be able to get along better with you." It was by the pure power of the Sharingan that Sasuke was able to send Sai in a panic mode without having to even move.

"It'd be a good idea not to tease Sasuke-kun too much. You see, he's harder to deal with than even I am." Orochimaru explained. Sasuke sighed getting up from his sitting position "And I don't care to deal with trash like him. Orochimaru it's time for training, Now."

"Naruto told me quite a bit about you. It seems he's been looking for you all this time for the last three years."

"Oh yeah I guess I do remember someone like that. We're going Orochimaru." Sai kept talking though, even though Sasuke made it perfectly clear he wasn't interested. "Naruto considers you...he considers you to almost his own true brother. Thats what I heard from Sakura-san and Kira-chan."

Hearing her name move past his lips he growled. How dare he mock him. He knew she was gone. Did he think it was funny to bring her into the mix after he was the one to kill her? Spouting off nonsense about Naruto and Sakura was one thing but bringing his beloved into this?!

"Don't speak of her like you knew her. You talk about her again I will end you, and as far as brothers are concerned I only have one. A certain guy I want to kill." He couldn't stand bastards like him. Thinking he could bring her into the mix when all he wants was for her to rest in peace. He'd be joining her soon enough anyway.

Letting out another sigh Sasuke laid on his bed facing away from the door. "Why is it I know that you're not real but I can't stop seeing you?" he whispered, studying her ruby red eyes. He watched her face turn into a frown. She gave him the same saddened look she always did when he was upset.

"You miss me, you see me this way because you believe this is how I would look. The life we could have had together was taken from us so fast that your mind had me come with you. You know this." Closing his eyes he let out another saddened sigh.

"I miss you…"

"I miss you too. Oh Sasuke please don't be sad you know I'm always going to be with you. No matter what." She reaches out touching his cheek. Sasuke could almost feel her soft fingers glide over his skin. Three years of training and trying to forget that day and he still feels as if it was only yesterday. The pain of seeing her body crushed under those rocks. He was so blinded by his rage that he couldn't protect her. Trailing his eyes down to her hand he could still see the fresh wound carved over her hand. His parting gift to her. To anyone that she was worthy of being an Uchiha.

All their plans. They're future together. All gone in a blink of an eye and he couldn't get over it. Thinking of her, what her life would be like made his heart ache. It was all Naruto's fault. If he didn't come after him. If he didn't try to stop him from leaving then she'd still be alive. She accepted him leaving. He knew she was worried about him but he promised her he'd come back for her.

The imaginary Kira was gone leaving him alone in his room, reminding him. He truly was alone after all. Nothing mattered anymore. As soon as Itachi was gone he'd be able to feel something again. Reaching up he grasped onto his pillow pulling it closer to his chest holding it tightly. He needed some sleep...maybe then they could be together again.

He heard the door creek open. Staring at the sheet he listened to what was going on. He could hear the soft slither gliding across the floor. What did this idiot want? It couldn't be Orochimaru he knew not to bother him after training unless it was important...So the question was.

"Who's there?"

Okay I've been trying to end this chapter for the past three days! I have so many ideas on whats going to happen when Sasuke sees Kira again. I already know whats going to happen in the end but of course it'll be a little different from how I ended everything in the first story. So again I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I'm sorry if it seems a little rushed at some points I was getting really annoyed writing them. Thanks for reading!
