So guess what? IM NOT DEAD! Hahah though you probably thought I was after not updating for so many months. Well I just lost motivation for a bit. Im back in a writing mood this year. I'll try. But I don't want to promise what I don't even know if I can do. Midterms are next week, I'm been getting some intense migrains, teachers don't know how to stop with the work, certain people are just GAH. Getting on my nerves as much as I do love them. *Sigh* Well, for those of you who still care about the story, I thank you. :) Hahah the reason I wrote this chapter in a half an hour flat was because I got a review for the first time in a few months. Was so random, it was nice. Made me guilty for not updating hahah :/ So thanks to you! Anywho, I hope you all are not disappointed with this chapter! :D
Chapter 8
Teammates
"Wake-y wake-y my little ninjas!" A very annoying voiced called. I opened my eyes and saw Kakashi standing there as if he had just had the best sleep of his life. My eyes then drifted to my phone. When I pressed the button to check the time other words appeared on the front screen. 6 New Texts! Damn…I choose to ignore them so I could check the time. 6:32am. Aww come on!
"Sasuke, get up." I looked up. Kiba?
"Hn."
"Come on we have to get going."
"I know. You don't have to tell me twice."
"Then get up." I glared at him. If only I could rip him limb from limb and feed him to piranhas. Only then shall I be happy. Just kidding…maybe…
Sitting up, I wiped away the sleep from my eyes and ran a hand through my hair. Picking up my phone again, I opened it up to the message screen. Three texts from Shikamaru, one from Kiba, one from Neji, and one from Naruto.
I went to Shikamaru's first.
One: Dude, I just want you to be happy alright? Don't chase after someone who's not going to care about you because then I'll have to kick their ass and that's bothersome.
Two: Are you planning on answering me? Like at all?
Three: Earth to oblivious! Come on! I got up early just to give you advice! That's hard for someone like me! You should know that by now! GAHH!
Haha…sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with this guy and this kind of stuff usually helps me remember. He's hilariously caring…geez. I sighed and moved onto the next message. Kiba.
Look, I don't know what's going on but I'm pretty sure you have a thing going for Naruto. Do me a favor and stay away unless you want to get hurt, got it? Good.
WHAT THE FUCK? How could he tell me something like that! That's it…damned bastard…there's no way I'm listening to his wishes. For all I care he could go rot in the depths of hell. Alright…next up…Neji…someone want to tell me exactly how he fits in to all of this? Actually, don't answer that. I know. HE DOESN'T.
Sorry about last night. I got a little carried away. I really do like you though, at least consider me, ok? Thanks =)
Did I read that right? Did Neji Hyuuga just tell me that AND put a smiley face at the end of his text message? Alright…something is so wrong with the universe right now. Call someone! This is so out of whack! I sighed. And last but not least…Naruto…here we go…
Sasu…I'm sorry. I can't believe I forgot that I told you I loved you. That wasn't a lie. I really do love you…more than anyone. It's just…I have been dating Kiba…for a while now. I'm so sorry I never told you. It's killing me that I've lied to both of you but honestly I think I might love you more than him. Don't say anything to him yet though. After all this shit is over with Orochimaru we will talk. All three of us…promise. :) Haha, sorry for the longness of this thingy^^
My facial muscles deceived me and I smiled even though I wanted to yell and scream and be angry. Every part of me wanted to go and attack Kiba and Naruto. So now what? He said he MIGHT love me more…that means he still loves Kiba right? And what if he doesn't love me more? What then? Am I just supposed to move on? How does he think I can move on?
Geez…alright Sasuke…just cool it. He said you will all talk. Heh…unfortunately for him, I might just get a little out of control and harm someone for basically threatening me. What? You can't blame me for that, it's his fault! And by his I mean Kiba's!
"SASUKE!" I flipped my phone shut and looked up again. Everyone was staring down at me. They all had their stuff together and were waiting. They just looked at me. I realized I was still in my sleeping bag and immediately got up to grab my things. After about another minute or so I was ready and Kakashi began to explain our plan.
"Ok, so it's basically a simple divide and conquer type deal. There are five of us so we'll be splitting up to rescue and possibly gain some information as well. I'll be the one who's heading towards the main area to get as much information about Orochimaru's plans as possible. Sasuke and Kiba will be paired up to rescue Sakura who is being kept in the east wing of the building. She is most likely being guarded by Kabuto so be careful. Neji and Naruto, you two will be heading to rescue Hinata in the west wing. Our sources say that she is being guarded by a woman with some chakra powered flute. We don't know exactly who she is but still be careful."
I looked around and the faces of my teammates. Worry. Confusion. Confidence. All in one.
"Ready?" Our sensei asked. We all nodded. We were ready for this. Kiba came up to my side, glaring.
"What?"
"Nothing. Let's just get this mission out of the way and save Sakura."
"Yeah." End of conversation. So he was pissed at me. I care because…?
He and I turned and faced Naruto. The source of our silent argument and the guy we were both in love with. The blond was laughing at something Neji had said; although the fact that Neji could have said something funny was just more proof that THE UNIVERSE IS OUT OF WACK DAMNIT!
While I was in the middle of my mental breakdown I noticed Kakashi was starting to say something. That would probably be important to listen to.
"…so like I said, finish your assignments and head straight here. Don't try any funny business." He shot a glare in Naruto's direction. The dobe put his hands up in defense. So CUTE!
"What? I won't do anything!"
"You better not." With that last statement he tossed our two groups a layout of the building and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The four of us exchanged looks. Naruto spoke.
"Alright you guys, we're going to rescue our friends and we've got no room for mistakes." The three of us stared at the dobe in utter disbelief. "What?"
"You do realize that you would normally be the last person in existence to say that, right?" Kiba smirked at him.
"HEY!"
"Dobe, it's true." I smirked at him too. There is was. I saw it. That small smile he secretly threw in my direction before beginning to rant. I think it made my heart stop. Damn.
"Pssh! You guys are so mean! Come on Neji, let's go!" And with that, he took Neji's hand and dragged him to their destination, leaving Kiba and I…alone. As soon as they were completely out of sight, he laughed then put on a seriously pissed face.
"Listen Uchiha-" I was not going to listen to his bullshit.
"No, you listen dog-breath. I don't give a fuck about you and if it wasn't for Naruto I would have already sent your sorry ass to the underworld for eternal torture. He is the one that's going to choose. Not you and not me. Him. Until then, I don't plan on talking to you about it. So we're going to focus on this mission and nothing else. Deal?" As much as it pained me, I stuck my hand out for a handshake. He just stared at it as if it were some kind of poisoned blade.
"Hmph. Let's go." He turned and walked towards our destination. I followed suit, wearing a pretty deep scowl on my face. Fucking bastard. I was trying to be nice for goodness sake. I guess that's what I get for being nice to someone I hate with every drop of my being.
We snuck in with ease. Within five minutes we were in a hallway that led to where they were keeping Sakura. I sense her chakra. Kiba could smell her scent. He said there was no other scent in the room. Something inside me doubted that…I focused and saw Kabuto's chakra lurking in a corner. Damnit.
"He knows we're here." Kiba turned to me in disbelief.
"I don't smell anyone besides Sakura." I glared at him.
"He's there. Hiding in the corner of the room waiting for us. It's his specialty." That dog-breath still wasn't convinced.
"You're just paranoid. Let's go." He began walked to the room and I pulled him back, utterly hating that I had to touch him.
"Look, he's there. I was the one that spent three fucking years stuck with that guy, not you." He didn't back down.
"What? Think you're all high and mighty Uchiha? Swallow your fucking pride and let someone else be right for once." He pushed me against the wall and proceeded to walk forward. The dumbass.
A voice in my head was saying to just let him go. Let him die. I'd get Naruto all to myself. Another voice screamed telling me to drag his sorry ass back here. Naruto would kill me if something happened that I could have prevented. I stared at his back as he continued to advance and let out a sigh. I guess I couldn't just leave him. He was my teammate after all.
"YOU DUMBASS." He turned back to me with a scowl.
"Really? Insults?"
"Because you're being stupid. The second you walk through that door YOU WILL DIE. Don't believe me? Send a clone in."
"A shadow clone? To do what? Prove MY point?" Sasuke…just breathe. Don't kill him. Not yet.
"No you idiot. To prove MY point." His eyes glared at me for a very long time before he walked back over to me.
"FINE. But this is to prove MY point." I bit my tongue and gave him the signature Uchiha glare.
He made the hand signs and a clone popped up beside him. Great. Two of them. Kill me. Now. Please?
I watched as the clone walked in the door. Not even five seconds passed before we heard a POP, signifying a dispersed clone.
"POINT PROVEN." I smirked triumphantly but before I could say much else my smirk turned into a scowl, Kabuto walked through the door, clapping slowly.
"Congratulations. You fooled me. What exactly was the brilliant plan running through those empty heads of yours?"
"Plan? Nothing big. Just something simple." Without another word I slammed the torch that was above my head and a chakra net came crashing down on Kabuto. He looked up at me in disbelief. Kiba looked at me in surprise.
"When did you…?"
"There's a hell of a lot of booby traps around this place. Every other torch activates one. Hitting this one was actually a lucky shot."
"Ah…nice."
"Yeah."
"So what do we do with that?" He gestured to Kabuto. The medical ninja lay on the ground basically helpless. What kind of stuff was that net made of? If it can hold down him, must be some creepy shit Orochimaru created. I shivered thinking about the snake.
""We could kill him…" Through his glasses he glared up at me, obviously convinced I wouldn't do it.
"True…let's get Sakura first though."
"Go in and get her, I'll watch the worm."
"Sounds good."
Kiba walked into the room. He walked back out with the annoying pinkette I hated oh so much. My expression stayed stoic though. My mission was done here. Now I need to find Naruto…
"SASUKE!" Sakura ran up to me with a huge smile. "Thanks for saving me! I knew you'd come for me!"
"It was my mission. Doesn't mean I wanted to." Kiba sent me a questioning look, wondering why I was being so cold to the chick. Does he not know how annoying she is? Damnit.
"But Sasuke-kun…"
"Let's go." I turned away from her, not caring much for her depressed look. She'd get over it. Probably going to lie to herself or something. "So Kiba, I think we should take him hostage instead. Kakashi can decide what to do with him."
"True." He bent down to pick him up before I hit his hand. "What the hell Uchiha?"
"Think dumbass. Orochimaru made this net, who knows what it'll do to you."
"Oh…so how do we get him to the rendezvous point?"
"Use a shadow clone."
"Alright." He tried it. YES! It worked.
Bastard in tow, the three of us began walking but all of a sudden, my phone started ringing. Kiba glared at me. What? Not my fault someone was calling me. Meesh. I answered it. What I heard on the other line ignited fear in my heart.
"Sasuke! Sasuke help! Tayuya…Orochimaru…Neji and I can't…oh shit…Sasu—" The call ended after a crackle and Naruto screaming.
Worry crept into my heart.
"Who the hell called you now?" Kiba asked. I turned to him.
"Naruto." I guess the way I said it was all I needed to say. A second later, we were running. Running to save the guy we were in love with; nothing more than the urge to kill some bastards and save our blond overflowing through our minds and bodies.
