Here I give you the seventh chapter. A bit long. And some clarifications on the relationship between Sasuke and Yuki. No, they aren't in couple. Yes, Naruto is back in this chapter, but you'll see him more in the next chapter.
I don't own the serie Naruto nor it's characters and espacially not Sasuke who belongs to his fanclub. But the plot belongs to me and Yuki too.

¦¦¦¦¦
I am in an empty room.
There is nobody but me.
There is no fourniture either.
I am standing in the middle.
On the wall at my left is an open window. But outside I see nothing but white space.
On the wall at my right is a closed wooden door.
And there is no dust on the floor. I'd even say it's shiny.
Then the door creaks open.
Someone enters in the room.
A hooded person. Smaller than me.
"Now that it has begun, tell me..." starts the person. Judging by the voice, I guess it's a young girl. "Tell me what side you'll chose."
She walks in front of me, between the now open door, and the open window.
A strange atmosphere planes in the room as I look at her.
She is covered up by a black hooded robe.
"What?" I ask, not understanding the meaning of her question.
"Now that it has begun, tell me what side you'll chose." repeats calmly the girl.
"What are you talking about? And who are you anyway?"
"You know who I am, even though you may not remember it in here." She takes off her robe and throw it by the window.
My eyes widden as I look at the twelve-year-old girl before me.
It's Yuki.
But her eyes aren't as hallow as they are when I look at her for real.
I know this is a dream.
I know this girl isn't really Yuki who is playing with my dreams.
"Which side will you chose?" she repeats. "Please tell me."
"What are you talking about, Yuki?"
"You have two ways of escaping this room: the door and the window." she says. "Which will you chose to take?"
"And if I want to stay here?"
Her expression darkens. "In that case you have two choices again: killing me... or letting me kill you."
"What is the meaning of this?"
"You have two choices: you can leave or stay here. If you decide to leave, you can take the door or the window. If you decide to stay, you decide between killing your friend or getting killed by her." says a deeper version of Yuki's voice.
The younger Yuki walks to me, takes my hand and puts it on her cheek. "These are your present choices, Sasuke Uchiha." she says. Then she looks deep into my eyes.
"Why?" I ask, feeling lonely.
"Because that's the way it is, my friend. But whatever your choice is..." she stops and sighes. "... we will never see each other the same way again."
"Wake up, Sasuke!" says a voice. "Come on! Wake up already!"
¦¦¦¦¦
"Is there a way to keep our relationship the way it is?" I ask, as I come back to conciousness.
"Why yes there is, idiot. If you open your eyes now, I'll make sure I don't kill you because you're lazy." says Yuki's voice.
My eyes open, only to see darkness. "Why is it so dark?"
"The sun isn't up yet, genius." she says, giving me a poke on the shoulder. "I've located it."
I sit up in bed and look at her in disbelief. "Really? Where?"
"It's been howling for three nights. It comes from the forest. As soon as you're dressed up properly, we're off."
I blush, remembering that I slept in only my boxers and that it was so hot that I kicked the covers off the bed. "Then why are you here?"
"I had to wake you up. Or else we would have missed it." she explains. Then a smirk grows on her lips. "Besides, I already came while you were sleeping like this."
She starts laughing and I throw a pillow at her. She takes it directly in the face, still laughing and throw it back at me.
"Alright! I'm out! Stop throwing your pillows at me!" And she steps out of my bedroom.
¤¤¤¤¤
We've only been knowing each other for two weeks, and we're already close friends.
She is merely a year older than me.
And even though she can be a true devil, I'm glad to know her.
Especially in times like these.
It's been two weeks since I last saw Naruto. And Sakura has been in the coma for a week.
And Kakashi...
Well he is in a critical state. got attacked too, and barely survived.
Tsunade herself doesn't know if he'll survive.
The corpse of the Gennin that Yuki showed me has been identified using the objects that were with the body. It is Hinata Hyuga.
Everybody in Konoha mourned her. But especially her teammates and her familly.
That has slowed down a bit our investigation.
But if Yuki hadn't been with me, I would have commited a suicide.
Now I am fully dressed and ready to go. She woke me half an hour ago, but I had to shower. As I step out of my room, I see her leaning against the wall in front of my bedroom's door.
"You know..." she starts. "... you're pretty slow, for a boy." She smirks.
"Well maybe if you hadn't traumatised me when you woke me up, it would have been shorter."
"What? I had to dress you up myself before waking you?" she asks ironically. "While you're at it, I could have bathed you, got you dressed and fed you while you were asleep and saying my name over and over."
"I... said your name in my sleep?" I ask in disbelief.
"I may have exagerated a little, but yes. You said my name. A total of three times before asking me that stupid question."
"It wasn't directed to you... well not you you, but you in my dream."
"Am I supposed to be flattered by knowing you dreamt of me?"
"No... it was a younger you... You asked me... to make a choice."
"You'll tell me about it when we'll be finished today? I'd love to hear about it." She was sincere, I could hear it.
"Yeah, I'll tell you about it later. Let's go."
And we're off.
¤¤¤¤¤
We've been chasing after that... thing for now half an hour. It's fast, be we can keep up with it.
That's not what preoccupies me most.
In fact, what is more preoccupant than the fact that we're not sure of what it is, is its chakra signature.
I've seen before.
Too many times.
It's Naruto's chakra I sense. Yuki never met him, so she doesn't know.
Maybe I'll tell her later.
But for now we must focus on at least getting a glance at it. Even though I know what we'll see, and I'm sure Yuki has a guess.
It must be Naruto's werewolf form.
When we were out of the mansion, it howled again and we've been able to track it to the forest.
I think it knows we're after it. So it tries to escape.
But Yuki already faced such beasts and she says she knows it's pattern of action.
Tsunade said that she trusts Yuki's judgement on what the beast is. But we have to have a look at it, just to be sure. I think she's afraid of it.
We continue to run after the creature. It seems to have slowed down a little.
"It's scaning us." says Yuki with a frown. "It wants to know if we have silver on us."
"Why? Is it afraid of silver?" I ask.
She smiles briefly at me. "It's its weakness. It is capable of healing itself very fast from normal wounds. But when it is hurt by silver... the wound can't heal. It there is a small amount of silver that goes in the blood, it acts like poison and it kills the werewolf slowly and painfully."
Killing Naruto...
I won't let her do that.
I won't let her kill my love.
Not my Naruto.
Not even if I must die for it.
"Yuki. There is something I must tell you." I say, getting my cold and serious attitude, something I don't do anymore with her.
"Later, Sasuke. It's stopping. We'll be able to look at it." she says with a triumphant smile.
And it really did. We stay on a large branch near the clearing where the creature has stopped.
It is in the middle, its back to us.
Yuki prepares to charge with her sword, but I stop her by pinning her to the trunk of the tree.
"What are you doing, Sasuke?" she asks, surprised.
"I won't let you kill him!" I say, my eyes shut firmly.
The few clouds that were covering the sky are blown away and the light of the moon lights the clearing.
The creature is big and furry, a dog on two legs. Its fur is a dark yellow.
"Let me go, Sasuke! We have to kill it! It's a werewolf! If it opens the skin with its claws or fangs, the person will transform into a werewolf too! We can't let it escape!" she says, struggling to try to get free.
My eyes are still shut and some tears roll down my cheeks. "I won't let you kill him!" I cry.
She stops struggling. "You know who it is, don't you?" she asks softly.
"Yes."
"He is a close friend to you?"
"Very close."
"I understand. I won't kill him. I promise."
I open my teary eyes and look into hers. Those dark green eyes that seem to be able to look through the skin and body to the soul. "Really?"
"Yes. Just let me go. I'll hurt him a little, but not enough to kill him or even traumatise him."
I let her go.
She takes something out of her trench coat and attach it to her sword. Then she dashes into the clearing right on Naruto.
I stay on the branch, watching the short fight.
Yuki suddenly jumps in the air and gets on Naruto's back. Then she opens Naruto's skin a little and smashes the thing attached to her sword on the wound.
She jumps off Naruto and watches as he is crying in pain.
He gets on his knees, then loses conciousness and fall on the ground.

Poor Naru-chan, I know. But I won't kill him. I like him.
Sasuke: You said what?
Me: That I like him but that he is yours.
Sasuke: That's better.
Naruto: (crying) Why did you do that, Yuki?
Yuki: Hey, I'm not the one who decides. Nyx is.
Naruto: (glares at the writter) You're better having an explanation for hurting me so much.
Me: Don't forget that you killed poor little Hinata. And I didn't kil you, you should be happy.
Naruto: (sees the threat and stops complaining)
Yuki: Anyway, why couldn't I kill the guy?
Me: Because then Sasuke would have killed the both of us, starting probably by me.
Sasuke: (nods with an evil look)
Yuki: But Sasuke is my little bro! (hugs Sasuke)
Sasuke: We're not of the same family. And I don't like hugs.
Yuki: (smirks) Except from Naruto.
Sasuke: So what? I don't like girls.
Yuki: Meanie! (punches Sasuke in the jaw and leaves the room)
Naruto: (runs after Yuki) Wait, Yuki! If you go, I have no chance of surviving against the council of Konoha!
Me: Hey! How do you know that, twerp?
Naruto: Huh... (leaves the room after Yuki, forgetting papers on the table)
Sasuke: (smirks) He read your ideas.
Me: Naruto! Come back here! (leaves the room, chasing after Naruto)
Sasuke: Keh! And so I have to deliver her message... idiot writter... Nyx won't be able to up-date for a while because of some business she must take care of. It'll be at least a week and a half before she puts the next chapter.
Yuki: (comes back in the room, jumps on Sasuke and sits on him with a triumphant smile) Review, dear reviewers! Nyx takes every kind of review you can send her! If you send requests, she'll put them if she can.
Sasuke: Get off my back, literally.
Yuki: Not until Nyx comes back. (takes a magasine and starts reading) And besides... You're comfortable!
