This is not the last chapter *sobs in frustration* I've been doing this all summer and i kept forgetting about it so sorry. chapter 7? crap... 7 chapters? dang. Anyway i hope you enjoy the fruit of my blood sweat and tears.

OMG i have missed you guys!!!!!!! D: but i am glad to be back :D

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto like i've said 6 times before..... gosh 7 chapters? i made a story line that has lasted this long?

"I can't believe it," Sasuke's hand reached out in the darkness and caressed my cheek and I closed my eyes. "They threw you in here too."

"Not very hospitable," I said, a little disappointed when Sasuke removed his hand.

"Why did they put you in here? You're not a criminal," Sasuke said taking a step closer.

"And you are one?" I asked shocked that he would call himself a criminal like the common thief.

"Well obviously," Sasuke chuckled.

"You were justified," I said reaching out in the darkness and finding Sasuke's hand and holding it in both of mine.

"Just because it's justified doesn't make it any different from any other murder," Sasuke said, anger crept into his voice and he pulled his hand from my grasp.

"Sasuke-kun, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Everything, I didn't come back to this village to be imprisoned," I saw Sasuke's eyes drift to mine in the dark. "I came back to be with you."

"Sasuke," I threw my arms around him and hugged him closely and I felt his arms wrap around me. "I don't think being imprisoned with me is much better."

"I don't care," I felt Sasuke rest his cheek on the top of my head. "I could stand here all day with you."

I think all the blood in my body rushed to my cheeks at that moment.

"Aren't we going to find a way out?" I asked pulling away to look Sasuke in the eye.

"I was thinking of making an exit," Because of the poor lighting all I could see of Sasuke was his outline and his eyes glowing in the darkness, two shining orbs. Those orbs held a hint of a smile, but a dark one.

"I don't know, that metal looked pretty thick," I said glancing at the locked door.

"We won't know if we don't try," I know for certain that Sasuke smiled. When you're with a person that doesn't smile as often as Naruto… used too, you know when they smile. Naruto… What did they do to him?

"Sasuke what do you think they did to Naruto?" I asked him.

"You noticed it too? Hn," His eyes wink smaller as if he was furrowing his brow. "I asked him when I first saw how incredibly none annoying he was, he said something about a syringe."

"What is Danzo doing to the village," I asked, a picture of the 6th Hokage standing on a balcony of an enlarged Hokage building with gold trim, and ninjas walking on eggshells around him. I shivered, a dictatorship- not what Konoha needed. What the Leaf Village needed right now was Sasuke- he could make it all right. Sauske can either make everything right or everything wrong. Proven by my many mood swings when he leaves and returns.

"Isn't it obvious? He has wanted the village for as long as I can remember," Sasuke broke our hug and walked towards the door, I turned to face him but all I saw was his back. "But I won't let him have it."

What happened next startled me so much that I nearly jumped half way across the room. Blue sparks appeared and Sasuke punched the wall making the floor shake and the pitiful light bulb swing madly. The wall refused to give.

"There's probably a seal-," I was cut off by Sasuke pounding the wall again.

"Sasuke-," Again my sentence was cut short by another punch to the wall that made part of the ceiling crumble and fall to the floor.

"Sasuke!" He landed two punches on the wall and a thin layer of dust started to coat everything in the room.

"It's useless!" Finally Sasuke stopped and his right hand that held the blue lightening flickered out.

"I'm not going to give up," He turned over his shoulder so I could see his red eyes looking back at me. "That's not my ninja way."

Sasuke refused to stop punching the wall. Eventually he stopped Chidori all together and just ended up having an endless match of boxing with the wall. The only times I could convince him to stop was so I could heal his bloody hands. It broke my heart to see his knuckles mangled like that but I let him keep going.

After about an hour of this I was healing Sasuke's hands when a throaty angry voice called from the darkness.

"Will you quit that racket!?" The voice sounded as if it hadn't been used in a hundred years. At the sound of it I nearly jumped out of my skin, I looked to Sasuke thinking he might know who the voice belonged to. He glared into the darkness, his sharigan powered up, which gave the answer: he didn't.

"Who are you?" I asked the darkness. A figure walked up to the bare light bulb. It was covered in rough looking material and it was hunched over. After it shuffled into the light it slowly lifted its head. The cloak cast a shadow across he's cut and bleeding face but I would know that face anywhere.

"Lee?"

It turns out that Lee and some of the other rookie nine had been beat and imprisoned. Some were released but were only used to benefit Danzo. Ino was healing Danzo's Root ANBU ninja and Kiba and other of the Inuzuka clan used to sniff out traitors.

"It's been hard, everyone is being forced to bow to Danzo's will," Lee had to stop because his body was shaking with hard coughs. He was sweating and I noticed some of his cuts were infected. When he was done coughing he continued. "They're all being used to please Danzo or defend him and help his awful village. He wants to make the Leaf village powerful and feared. I was left here because I cannot perform anything except taijutsu and in the eyes of Danzo useless."

"Lee, let me fix your wounds, they look awful," I asked, Lee nodded and pulled his cloak off. I had him lay on the cold stone floor as I healed more and more injuries as I found them. He was in awful shape, both eyes were ringed with purple and dried blood clung to his lips and nose.

"Lee, you're a pretty good ninja," Sasuke said, his face clearly said that he was thinking- hard. "You even beat me when we first met, how could you turn out like this?"

"I was outnumbered, twenty to one," Lee said in his strained voice. "I tried opening my chakra gates but all it did was render me tired. I was a sitting duck."

"I think I'm done," I said sadly as I had tried my best on every wound. Lee sat back up pulling his cloak back around him.

"I can't believe you didn't notice be before Sasuke," Lee flashed a smile for the first time since we started talking. "I thought you were one of the greatest ninja that ever lived.

"I was… preoccupied," Sasuke said looking at the wall he had been hitting, there was dried blood encrusting small dents.

"If by preoccupied you mean calling out Sakura-chan's name in your sleep then yeah you were," Lee said giving me a wink. Sasuke's cheeks went slightly pink.

"I thought I could say the woman I'm in love with's name whenever I wanted," Sasuke said smiling and winking at me also. My cheeks flushed pink; to save myself from further embarrassment I changed the subject.

"How are we going to get out?" I asked looking at the door and thinking of all the locks.

We were all silent for a minute, all three of us thinking on how to get out and defeat Danzo. During this thought process I saw Sasuke and Lee exchange a number of looks as though they were having a mute conversation.

"I'll do it," Lee said standing up his cloak slipping off exposing his various scars and cuts.

"Lee no!" Sasuke stood up and stared him right in the eye.

"What!" I asked standing up with them completely lost.

"For you to summon that much power would mean-," Sasuke was pointing at Lee but the taijutsu master pushed his accusing finger away and finished his sentence.

"Certain death," Lee said, he looked at the door and then back at me. "I'd like to know that my final act helped save Sakura-chan."

Lee flashed a smile and the dim light reflected off his white teeth, Sasuke looked annoyed but allowed Lee to express his emotion- he was about to die… Lee was about to die for me!

Images swam in my head of the Forest of Death with Lee putting his life on the line to save me from the sound ninja.

"Lee you don't have-," I started but was interrupted.

"And Konoha," Lee said standing straight and looking at the door. The enormous piece of metal made all of us seem so small. Lee balled his hands into fists.

"Do what you have to," I said feeling hot tears gather at my eyes. Sasuke nodded to Lee and one of Konoha's finest walked up to the door. He took a breath and so did I. He closed his eyes and concentrated his chakra. Sasuke put a hand on my shoulder and pulled me back to give Lee some room.

This was one of the last moments I would share with Konoha's Green Beast… I only wish it had lasted longer.

Yeah you hate me for ending it there, i hate me too but i was tired and i decided to give the numbs that were my fingers a break. I hope you liked it if you didn't feel free to tell me :)
