The Perfect Plan

ItaSasu

Author's note: Yes, it's true Sasuke is becoming more uke-ish. xD But it's necessary to uke him up cause otherwise he might not be dominated by "Sora" enough, ne? O:

Kay, I wrote the next two chapters late at night in a notebook at my Grandad's cause I was uber BORED Ya rly. They're super action-packed. And lots of brotherly bonding happens. Bwahahahahaha. 8D

Chapter 7 – Falling

I woke lying on a hard floor, my back stiff and aching. Slowly, I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings.

I was in a very small, damp, dark cell of some kind and the only daylight was from a small vent near the ceiling. The air was freezing and I was shivering profusely. I felt shattered and could barely move. My nose was running and my face was sweating, informing me that the fever had completely taken me over.

I tried to sit up and let out an accidental "ah!" as pain throbbed suddenly through my body. I was bruised and beaten… The Akatsuki must've kicked me around while I was out cold. I slowly sat up and leant against the stone wall.

"They tried to wake you."

The voice echoed around the small room and as it reached my ears, I thought it was probably the softest thing in there. I looked up and saw Sora sitting with his back against the corner and his arms resting across his knees. I couldn't see him perfectly, but I was able to make out the light in his eyes and the shine on his moist lips… The cloak was gone and I noticed his bare arms: they were strong but slender, much like my own and he wore a ring on his finger.

My shoulders gave a shudder and I remembered my shirt had been left behind, but then something slipped from me. My eyes widened as I realised what it was – Sora's coat!

I threw it off immediately as if it was infected with some fatal disease and shuffled back, feeling very uncomfortable. What was this guy thinking? Why had he helped me so much?

Then I remembered my team mates. I looked around for them but they weren't there. "Where are my team mates?" I asked Sora, sharply. He looked up at me through his black hair before answering.

"I don't believe they are in this building."

I narrowed my eyes at him. He'd better be right because if they were hurt it was his fault and there'd be hell to pay. It was his fault we were trapped there too. I frowned and looked away, now fuming, "You got us stuck here," I spat, "So you can get us out."

The room was silent. Ignoring me, huh? I slammed my fist on the floor. Imprisoned in fuck knows where with a fever and a complete bastard who barely speaks. What the hell was going on? Why had the enemy beaten me about but left me alive? And if they really wanted to kill Sora, why hadn't they done so already? Something was wrong with this…

I shivered again. Sakura probably hadn't had time to apply enough balm to have any effect on my sickness.

"You should wear that coat if you don't want to pass out again."

I shot a glare at him. "Why should you care!" He just looked back with unreadable and uninterested eyes. I cursed obscenely.

We must have been sat there in silence for about an hour before anything happened. A key clattered in the lock, the door opened, and for a moment, the small prison was flooded with light. In came a tall, dark figure with a massive sword over his shoulder. I recognised him to be the sharkman.

He closed the door and swung his sword. "Another cell has freed up and you're moving, boy. The previous occupant… passed away." He snickered and advanced on me.

"I'm not going anywhere with you," I retorted.

"Then I shall have to just kill you, shan't I?" he replied.

I jumped up and backed up against the wall, feeling for my kunai but it wasn't there. I must have been stripped of weapons. So I came to the conclusion that I would have to dodge. He swung at me and I dashed out the way, narrowly missing the huge blade as it smashed into the wall. Huge cracked radiated from the point of contact like the legs of a giant spider. I would die if I got hit directly by that - especially considering the state I was in.

He turned and smiled before suddenly jumping forwards and launching a second attack. I escaped at the last minute but only just. The sword, despite being covered in bandages, managed to scrape my shoulder and I felt the weirdest sensation: it was as if my strength was being sucked right out of me. I felt normal again as it left my skin. I knew this feeling.

My mind went back to the preliminaries at the chuunin exam years ago; my opponent had tried to absorb my chakra – this was the same. So that was the power of his sword…?

I was horrified as grunting sounds came from the now wriggling blade. It was as if it was alive! It's wielder laughed at my expression. "My Samehada likes the taste of your chakra. Won't you share some more?" He swung again and I dodged under it.

I was too late.

I cried out as it shaved a layer of skin from my back. My breath was forced out of my lungs and I gasped as chakra was dragged out of me. The second it broke contact with me though, I was able to run past him and stand where I'd started off. Blood trickled down my back and legs.

The sharkman laughed, "You won't be able to dodge the next one, kid." He was right. I had barely enough energy left to just stand. That weapon of his was very troublesome. I'd never be able to take him alone.

I remembered Sora then. If he was so keen on helping me all the damn time, why not now? I had no time to think because the sword came down on me for the last time. I began to move but it was in vain and I heard the thump as something made contact with me.

But it wasn't the hard, heavy blade I had been expecting. Instead, it was warm and soft. I fell onto my back and the body landed on top of me.

Then, I felt something really strange. It was something I hadn't properly experienced before, but for a brief second warmth and bliss rushed through my body… from the point of my mouth.

Wait…

…huh? What was this?

…

Oh… no…

I turned my head to the side, breaking contact but he didn't move. He'd been completely knocked out. And he'd caught my mouth in what was my second ever (accidental) kiss…! Even more, it was with another guy! Even more, it was with Kamen Sora! Even more, I was shirtless! Aaagh!

The sharkman was laughing. "Hahaha… and I thought the younger one would be quicker to beat. Well, I'll just move this one then." He bent down and pulled at one of Sora's feet.

I don't know why, but I found myself gripping onto him, using my last ounce of strength to keep the blue man from taking him. I felt somehow relieved to know he was alive as his light breath rushed over my neck. But it was just relief. It's not like I enjoyed it. He'd stolen my second kiss (even if he was unconscious at the time) and I definitely hated him for it. With a strong tug, he was pulled from me and he slid off me. His body was lifted up and carried out the room and the heavy door slammed shut, shaking on its hinges. It locked and I listened to the sound of footsteps fading.

Once they'd gone, I was struck with cold again and my mind went to the stinging on my back. The cut wasn't too deep but I really was going to pass out again if I didn't warm up soon.

I remembered Sora's coat, seeing it about a metre away. Damnit… reluctantly, I reached out and dragged it over me. Then I clutched it tightly around me. It smelt like peaches and I blushed furiously. I was only wrapping myself in it because I was so cold. I wasn't trying to breathe in his smell! …I could still taste him on my lips. Why was I so bothered about it? It wasn't really a kiss – more like the crashing together of mouths as he fell on me. It hadn't meant anything… What's wrong with me?

How could I be so bothered by him? I knew nothing about him. I'd only been with him for 24 hours and the only thing I'd learnt was his name and yet there was still something not quite right about that… why was I thinking about him so much? Oh, I was probably freaked out because of his name. "Masked Emptiness"…? What kind of name was that? Why would your parents call you such a name? There had to be something behind it…

My stomach groaned, letting me know that I was starving – I must have been in there for at least a day. I rolled onto my side and curled up in order to conserve as much heat as possible.

Where was Sora? I was only wondering this because I was curious. I didn't care if he got hurt. Shit, why am I thinking about him again!

I forced him out of my mind and shut my eyes, hoping desperately that sleep would claim me soon.

Author's note: o.o….!

So there it is! They've kissed! Zomigosh! xD First of many, we hope? Hmmm… xD

Well, there's a slight twist in the next chapter, but I think we were all expecting it anyway. But you're gonna have to wait a couple of hours for it cause I really need to take a shower. LOL.
