Heeey yea it's been a while! Yes this means my laptop is fully recovered, though the original chapter(s) I had written out for this fic and the other weren't on my laptop (among other things I had on it). It was very irritating. I ended up having to re-read my fics to try and grasp what I had in the new chapters but couldn't rememeber ToT But I hope you enjoy this either way.

It seemed they've been walking through these paintings for years, but without a threat they did not mind. Time was not a thing in this world. They had all the time they wanted and they used it well to improve their new found relationship. Even though it was dark and creepy, it was as if Guertena knew they would get stuck here and made this world for them. They had to admit it was strange thinking this way as they tried to find the exit to their own world but on the edge of thoughts they both knew they were thinking the same. 'Why not make this our home.' . But they brushed these thoughts away, they still had friends and families on the outside.
"Nee, Sasuke.. When do you think we'll find it?" Naruto asked, he seemed a bit tired. His bright blues not as sparking as they used to be.
"I don't know." Sasuke looked around, are they looking to hard? Would they have to go to the very beginning? They decided to stop to form yet another new plan.
Whinning Naruto laid on his back whilst Sasuke sat up, "I don't want to think this way... But maybe we're not allowed to leave." The blonde shot up. "Don't say that!"
"Maybe this is our punishment for killing Mary."
"Woah woah woah no don't even think like that she wasn't even real!"
"But Naruto she CONTROLLED everything!"
The blonde quieted down. Well that was true. Mary manipulated this world, this was her prison, she only wanted out. To be real. To be human. And they set her on fire. Maybe now that Mary was gone, neither of them can get out. Naruto jumped to his feet. "Bullshit, if there's an opening there's an exit. Despite IF Mary made it or not. She didn't create any of this, Guertena did, she was BORN into this world. So get off your ass and lets find our exit." He held out his hand, that familiar sparkle in his eyes and a victorious grin stretching those tan cheeks. For a minute or so Sasuke just stared then a small smile broke his features. Naruto was once again right. Grabbing his hand, Naruto pulled Sasuke to his feet and they started on their journey with a new found bounce in each step.
It seemed to have taken another year for them to get to where they are now. There they stood, hand in hand in front of a painting that look just like the museum.
"This must be our exit." Sasuke murmured, slowly glancing at Naruto who turned his head and stared back. Hands tightening, knuckles turning white, they walked up and reached out toward the material. Their fingers went through and the paint rippled like water. They both grinned at one another. Letting go of each others hands, Sasuke boosted Naruto up behind the frame, while Naruto started pulling him up.
"...-ke... Sa...-uke... SAS...-e...SASUKEEEEE!"
Was someone callling him? He couldn't tell, everything was changing, colors were mixing. The last thing he saw through the frame was a mosh of yellows, greens, and the bluest eyes he's ever seen. Once he blinked to clear his sight he was back in the museum with Naruto at his side. That was strange, he swore someone was calling his name. They both stood up and looked around. Everything was the same. Naruto grabbed his hand, "We need to caught up with everyone else."
"Yea."
They got a few stares from their classmates, Naruto got a few glares but after Kiba dragged him away it seemed they were accepted as a couple either way. Sasuke felt relived and roamed around to face the very paintings that had attacked himself and Naruto until he walked up to some museum workers hanging up a new picture. The workers noticed his prescense but ignored him in favor of getting away from the loud teenagers. They pulled the cover off before leaving and stood frozen. It was a picture of Mary. The painting was disturbingly detailed. She was crying, tears running down her face as one hand held an orange rose, as the other reached toward the center of the painting. As if waiting for someone to reach in and pull her out. He almost wanted to try and reach in and wipe away those tears. Her mouth was opened screaming something. A hand placed it'self on his shoulder and he turned to see the museum director.
"Interesting piece isn't it?"
"Uhm.. Yea."
"It just showed up in the very back of the storage, never seen it before but it was dusty and had Guertena's trademark on it."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Very much so young man."
The man stared a bit longer then walked away. Sasuke continued to stare. Was it Mary he saw and heard? Turning around he saw Naruto standing there as well, looking at Mary. "Naruto?" He looked toward the raven with a small smile. "She looks so sad." Sasuke walked up to Naruto, kissed his cheek and hugged him. "Yea she does." He muttered. He let go and grabbed Naruto's hand, "Come on, the class is leaving."
While walking away Naruto kept his eyes on the painting, his smile slowly growing to a full fledged grin. His eyes dulled and narrowed, "Hope you enjoy my prison blondie." he whispered.
