18th chapter! We go back to Sasuke's point of view. The final fight is approaching and will be here really soon. I a couple of chapters, probably. Man... This fic is the longest one I've ever done! Usually it's like twelve chapters, fifteen max. But I'm planning to have over twenty chapters! This is so cool!
No disclaimer.

I open another door only to find myself back at the Hall room.
"Dammit! This place is a true maze! I can't even find Yuki!" I scream in frustration before punching a wall.
It is night and I have been walking and running for hours. In all, I think I ended up in the Hall a dozen of times. This place is seriously getting on my nerves. I sit down against the wall. I am tired, but I can't allow myself to sleep. It would lower my guards and I would be vulnerable to any attack. My eyelids are heavy. The need to sleep is almost overwhelming. A light appears in front of me and I focus on it. It takes the form of Yuki's mother.
"You're tired, young Uchiha. You must rest." she says softly.
"I can't. There are spies everywhere." I reply dully.
"The full moon is tomorrow. You have to deliver your friends and my daughter before the setting of the sun."
My eyes widened. "Yuki is held captive?" I gasp in surprise.
The ghost nods.
So that's why I couldn't find her. Obviously, they expected us. Or they knew we were coming. How? Maybe the same way Yuki can sense werewolves. Meaning Yuki's mentor is truly behind all this.
"It seems you are lost." says Yuki's mother.
"More than I would admit." I reply.
"Sometimes, the clues aren't what we thought they were." she says.
I look at her expectantly and she smiles at me.
"There may be an ally that end up being a person you didn't expect at all."
I start hearing footsteps. "Thank you, ma'am." I say quickly, getting up.
I rush in direction of the footsteps. After a while, the footsteps stop. I turn a corner, going in the same direction as the same direction I last heard the noise. It is a short corridor that ends with a door on the left. The door is closed. I didn't came here when I ran in all directions. I walk slowly to the door and I open it cautiously.
"What is it?" asks a surprised voice from the inside of the room.
I launch to attack but the man immobilizes both my arms.
"How did you come here?" he asks.
"Sasuke!" comes a voice.
I turn my head to see three happy teens in a cage that looks like a giant bird cage. I focus back immediately on the shark man before me and kick him in the guts, then under the chin. He flies away a couple of feet to land in a thud, KO'd. I run to the cage of my team mates and open the door. Naruto jumps on me and I fall on my back, him on top of me. We kiss passionately during a moment.
"Get yourselves a room, you two! Don't do that in front of us!" says angrily Sakura.
Yuki simply smiles.
Naruto gets up and I do the same. I smile at all of them. "Shall we go put that evil guy in his rightful place?" I ask with an angelic smile.
Yuki takes the shark guy and throws him in the cage before closing the door. "You look really tired, Sasuke. Have you slept since we parted?" she says worriedly.
"She's right. You're all white. Well… whiter than usual." says Naruto.
"I'll be okay, don't worry." I replied.
"I think you should do as your friends say, un. It wouldn't do to go into a battle tired as you are." comes a voice from behind me.
Naruto's eyes widen. "The guard dog!" he gasped.
"Deidara!" screams Sakura in pure bliss.
Yuki and I quirk an eyebrow each. Then I turn around to have a good look at this Deidara guy. Blond, tall, a bit feminine, greenish blue coloured eyes. He doesn't look half bad. But I still prefer my Naruto. Wait a second…
"That guy is an Akatsuki member!" I shout, angry.
"Calm down, twerp. I'm on your side, un. Who do you think lead you here? Santa Claus?" he asks, annoyed.
We all four look at him as if he was crazy. "Who's Santa Claus?" we ask at once.
He sweat drop. "Well… he's a legend character… a myth I heard when I was little… nothing important… un…" he muttered. "Anyway! We'll go somewhere to rest a little before going to find Nerezza-sama."
"Who's Nerezza?" I stupidly ask.
"It's the name of my mentor." replies Yuki.
"The sun is almost up, un. We should get going." says Deidara.
"Yes. It would be best for us to attack him just before sunset, so if we have troubles I will be able to help by transforming." agrees Yuki.
"I thought the formula restrained you from transforming." says Naruto, wide eyed.
"I got rid of it. My body was starting to get immune, anyway." she says, avoiding to look at any of us in the eyes.
This does not smell good at all. Something is wrong, I just feel it. The sun gets up and suddenly all my forces abandon me and I just pass out.

End of the chapter. Deidara may seem a little... weird... and out of character... but the truth is, I didn't watch any episode of Naruto that contained any Akatsuki member! I only read fanfictions and character descriptions on Absolute Anime.
Itachi: Well I think you pull it off very good.
Naruto: You forgot to say that you searched pictures on google.
Me: That's not an important info, Naru-chan.
Sasuke: At least Sakura will let me alone from now on, since she has a big crush on Deidara.
Me: Yeah. Aren't you thankful?
Sasuke: Maybe. (hugs Naruto) But I want another lemon with my kitsune.
Me: (smiles) No problem. I'll put another lemon after the final fight. I planned to put one or two chapters after, anyway.
Naruto: And I want ramen!
Me: There will be ramen.
Itachi: I want to see a wedding!
Me: (sweat drop) Let's make it a question for the readers/reviewers. If you want me to put a wedding, just say so in a review. Same goes if you don't want a wedding to take place, you just say so in a review.
Sasuke: And you don't even ask our opinions?
Me: I do what I want with you in this fic, Sasu-chan. I don't really need your opinion.
Sasuke: Bitch.
Me: (smiles) I like you, too. Review, people! You'll get a cookie for reviewing! And maybe even a wedding! And lots of ramen!
Naruto: Yay! Hurray for ramen!
Me: You said it!
