Here it is...Chapter 2.

Furthermore, I am shortening the XxXIAmAnAvengerXxX thingies to just XxXP or whatever.

And there's now XxXL which is a location/situation change.

On with the chapter

P.S. To fully enjoy this chapter, listen to Combichrist-Like To Thank My Buddies once Sasuke pulls out his sword. No sooner, no later than that.

"Sai, just let me in. I don't have time for the usual bullshit." I said, pulling out a .45 and pointing it through the slit.

"Whoa! Okay, okay, just get that thing out of the door." he said,smiling at me.

I pulled the gun out of the slit, and he opened the door. I walked through it into the hallway of a large mansion. White cascaded the walls, and the smell of freshly-cleaned upholstery clogged my nose and invaded my brain. The hallway was dark, for I wasn't completely in the mansion yet. This was an offshoot of the main building, mainly used for storage. I could see by the amount of cloth covered items that they still hadn't found time to renovate it.

Sai motioned to me, and I followed him down the hallway.

"I still think it's a wonder that we are able to keep this place hidden in the heart of the city,don't you, Sasuke." he said, trying obviously to start a conversation.

"Hn." was my response, and the edges of his smile turned down at that, like the corners of a parachute carrying a man two thousand feet down to the subtle earth. But his smile returned to its false stature in an instant.

"Yes, it is a marvel." By that time we had already come into the foyer, which wasn't so much of a foyer as a cavern. Two large staircases wound themselves around the room, like a snake around its prey. A walkway on the upper level connected the two staircases. They resided on either side of the room. A door stood dead center between them. On the floor, tucked tightly between the two staircases, were three couches seated in a circle. In the middle of these couches was a table on which three machine guns were situated in a triangle. Flowers were stuck in the ends of the barrels, apparently the structure served as the centerpiece of the table.

"It fuckin' suits the place." I said under my breath. Sai turned around, apparently having heard me.

"Hmm? Did you say anything?" He asked, cocking his head and smiling...He makes me sick.

"No."

"All right then. You'll be taking the left staircase today, Sasuke." I opened my mouth to speak, but he put up his hand. "Before you remark, allow me to explain. Yes, you usually take the right staircase." His eyes darkened. "But unfortunately, due to recent circumstances the master had to move to the left wing of the mansion. Do not ask about it, for it is a touchy subject with the master. I can and will only tell you that there was an explosion. Now, if I have answered all questions that you may have had," his smile widened "please proceed up the left staircase!" He finished, bowing before he left the room and disappeared behind a door.

I looked after him for about two seconds, then walked to the left wing. Once up the staircase I was immediately confronted by two splitting passages. Well, he did say go to the left wing. I walked down the left passage for a ways until I came to a large brown door.

"Here it is." I said to myself, then I knocked and opened the door. I was met with the sight of two muzzles pointed at my eyes. Soon after that was the sound of two safety's being turned off.

"Come, come boys. You know Sasuke." The two muzzles retracted out of my sight, and the door was opened wider. "Come in Sasuke, and have a seat; I've been waiting for you."

I walked in and took a seat in a high-backed Victorian style chair."Good to see you again, Konan."

She smiled. "Please, call me 'master'."

Deidara walked quickly down the hallway, his footsteps reverberating coldly off of the steel walls. He arrived at a door and opened it, closing it behind him and kneeling before a person sitting in a chair in a corner of the room he had just entered. He was reading a newspaper and was wearing dark sunglasses, making it impossible to see his eyes. Next to him was a table, piled on top of which were every week's Sunday paper for the past year.

The man folded down the newspaper he was reading and looked him.

"Oh, it's you, Deidara." The man set down the newspaper on the giant pile and fixed his trenchcoat so that it shrouded his body. "Your report, if you would."

Deidara knew he wasn't really giving him a choice."Yes, sir. The east division is ready. Their project should do the exact amount of damage you calculated it would. As for the west division, their project is not going along so smoothly. Due to gang activity in their area, the project has been damaged. They say they will need time to rebuild it--"

"Time, I've given them enough time." The man slammed his fist down on the armrest of the chair. "But...yes, I can spare them some more time. Continue with your report."

"Yes, sir. The north and South divisions are both ready and in position."

"And the bridge?"

"Fully wired. Waiting for your signal."

"You've done good Deidara, just one more thing, how is Sasuke?"

"He is alive. One of our women placed a tracking device on him when he was in the club ClimaXXX. Since then he crossed the bridge and is now sitting in the drawing room of that mansion."

"That mansion? Hmm, I was just planning for my men to give her another visit. Deidara, dispatch the group I prepared earlier and tell them to go straight to that mansion."

Deidara stood up. "And their orders, sir?"

The man looked at him. "Kill anything that moves."

XxXL,S

"So Sasuke, I hear that you killed Asuma." Konan said, taking out a cigarette and beckoning to one of the four bodyguards situated around the room, who promptly lit it up for her. "Oh, I'm sorry, would you like one too, Sasuke?" She handed me the pack.

"Thanks." I said as I took one. I went to grab my lighter but the guard who lighted Konan's grabbed my hand and lit it up for me. "Thank you." I said in an agitated tone. I turned to Konan. "How did you know that I killed him? That only happened last night."

"Sasuke, I have people everywhere, and in this city, news travels fast. The point is, you rid me of one of my enemies, for that I thank you."

I shrugged. "It was nothing. Where is Pein?"

She shifted her legs. "Ooh, rather to the point today, are we?"

"I need to speak with him." By the our smoke was gathered near the ceiling, clogging the lights and rendering the fan, which was on high, useless. The stale air was just pushed around and around the room with no escape.

"Well, I'm sorry, but he isn't here at the moment. You'll have to speak your troubles to me."

I glared at her. "I don't have any troubles."

She laughed, a hollow sound that clogged the light along with the smoke. "Your drive, Sasuke, is fueled by trouble. Without your struggle, you wouldn't be half the man you are now." she laughed again. "and you say you don't have trouble?"

"Shut up." I said, gritting my teeth.

"Ooh, temper, temper. Now tell me, what do you need?"

I sighed. "I need information."

"Information? On the whereabouts of--"

"Yes." I said, interrupting her, "On the location of that person."

"Well, sorry to disappoint, but as of this moment, I have no useful information for you."

A man crashed into the door and whispered something into her ear. Her eyes widened only the tiniest bit, but that was enough for me.

"I'm sorry Sasuke, I spoke too soon. I do have useful information for you. Right now there are men breaking into this mansion." I pulled out my sword from its sheath on my back.

"Then I'll be going." I said. Her arm reached out and stopped me before I could reach the door though.

"I wasn't finished. When you get out to your car, follow the alleyway to it end, then take your first left, your third right and your next two lefts. There is someone waiting for you."

I frowned. "All right. I'll go." I opened the door this time when she stopped me again.

"And Sasuke?"

"Yes?"

"Take Sai with you. He needs to get out more."

"Fine." I ran out of the door before she could say anything else.

Once I shut the door, I found myself alone in the hallway. Everything was quiet. Nothing moved. I lifted the sword up a notch, getting into a defensive stance. I moved my left foot, and started to move. Three real steps into the hallway, and I realized something I hadn't noticed before: The entire right wall of the hallway was pure glass with a curtain pulled along it's length.

"Shit." I mumbled, just as the first person crashed through the glass. The person looked around, and then spotted me. "Here we go." I said, bringing the sword up and swinging it back down severing his head. The veins in the man's neck erupted, gushing blood out onto the wall opposite the glass. "Sorry Konan," I said as four more popped through the glass, "but I'm gonna have to redecorate a bit."

I charged forward, holding the sword straight out in front of me. The sword pierced the man's armor , penetrating his stomach and running straight though his back. I brought my arm up, and watched as the sword sliced through the man's ribcage. Halfway up though, it got stuck.

"Fuck." I said. The other attackers were running towards me.

The man impaled on my sword coughed up blood on my coat. "You're dead." I just smiled and reached to the bottom of the hilt of the sword and a small button. Tiny razor-blade sharp spikes shot out along the length of the edge of the sword, and I used them to saw through the man's bones until the blade shot out of the top of his head. His body curved as the two top-halves fell away from each other.

The other men jumped over my head. I grabbed one's ankle with my left hand and slammed him down on the ground. I heard his head crack on the merciless tile. After that, I drilled my sword through his right eye. Blood spurted up along the blade of my sword. That was okay, it could be cleaned.

That was when the bullet pierced my left arm. Blood flew by my face as I turned to see the man who had fired the bullet. He had a grin on his face.

I reached down to my left hip with my right hand and pulled out the desert eagle there. Huh, the silencer was still on it. Good thing I reloaded it though. I shot a bullet into his forehead and turned around. I was done here.

As I walked by, I yanked my sword out of the man's eye and wiped it on his armor. Once it was clean, I put it back in its sheath and walked to the end of the hallway. I was at the point where it split into two hallways when I noticed Sai down the right hallway. He was just finishing an enemy by slicing off the upper part of his head with a miniature sword. He walked to me when he saw me.

I motioned for the foyer and he nodded. We both ran out to the walkway and surveyed the damage. Konan's henchmen were fighting hoards of men piling through the front door of the mansion. They had also broken the windows to allow more of them in. As I watching what happened down below, I noticed Sai out of the corner of my eye cutting a man's neck. There were more men on the staircase behind the falling man.

"Sai, we need to go."

He just looked back at me and smiled. "All right then, lead the way, Mr. Uchiha."

I walked up to the railing at the edge of the walkway and rested my right hand on it. I then swung myself over the edge and fell down the twenty feet to the floor below. I ducked behind a couch as soon as I landed, dodging multiple bullets flying through the arm. I heard a soft buzzing noise as the bullets hit the couch, it sounded like a hornet's stinger piercing smooth human flesh.

I lifted my hand up and emptied the rest of the clip blindly. Once done with that, I shoved the gun back into its holster. I needed a different weapon against them. Something close. Something with a lot of bullets...the centerpiece.

I jumped over the couch and ran to the table, tugging one of the three machine guns off of it. I turned off the safety on it and started firing. Luckily, bullets started shooting out of the barrel. Trust Konan to have real guns as a centerpiece.

The bullets went flying through the air, piercing and cutting through the invading men. I ran to the right, trying to get to the hallway as soon as possible. Two steps away from the entrance a man jumped out in front of me, his gun tight in his hands. I batted it aside with the machine gun and but the barrel up to the man's face.

"Fuck off." I said before I pulled the trigger, watching bullets invade his skull like bulls in a city street. Blood poured out of him as I stepped around him and ran down the hallway. When I got to the end, Sai was holding the door open.

"Ready to go?" He said, smiling.

I walked past him and unlocked my car, jumping into the driver's seat. "Just get in the car." I said.

He closed the mansion door behind him and opened the car door, sliding into the seat like a snake. "Do you remember your directions?"

I sent him a glare. "First left, third right, next two lefts. That sound right to you?" I said, his false demeanor was getting annoying.

"Yes."

I revved up the engine and hit the gas, ready to be as far away from that mansion as I could."

The door in the middle of the walkway opened, and a figure stepped out. He had on a dark black hat that shaded his face, and the rest of his outfit was black. The men that Sasuke didn't kill stopped and saluted him. He just waved his hand, and the continued on into the rest of the mansion.

He looked up to the walkway to see Konan descending, taking the stairs one at a time.

"Hello Konan." The man said, grinning beneath his hat.

Konan stopped and looked at him. "Did you hear everything?" She asked, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it herself.

"Bad habit." the man said, his grin widening.

"Did you hear it or not?"

"Yeah, I heard it."

Konan sucked on the cigarette some more before she talked again. "Why are you even here?"

"Aw, I wouldn't want to miss seeing my little Sasu-chan, would I?"

She raised an eyebrow. "Sasu-chan? I'll have to call him that the next time I see him."

"Konan, please, the next time you see him he will be dead because I will have killed him."

She exhaled smoke out of her nostrils. "I wouldn't doubt that...Naruto."

AAAIXxXIAAA

Chapter 2 end.

I'm thinking I wanna change the pov around a bit. I was thinking about third person for next chapter...hmm...yep, I'll do that.

Anyway, sorries for the wait. I can only write when I'm in the mood. Like, if I'm not in the mood, it turns out suckish. For the end of this chapter, I was in the mood and I had great stimulation (see song in beginning)

So what's up with Naruto? Where are Sasuke and Sai headed? Who will they meet? And why the hell do my feet smell so good? All this and more, coming in future chapters!
