Humans, easily misled and full of curiosity, will always ask questions. We do not mind this. This is natural. They ask amusing and often interesting questions.

It is acting upon that curiosity that creates sin.

And now, they have committed a vice so inhumane and blasphemous... it is saddening. Perhaps we should record the stories of that child.

Her flesh, whose creation is reserved for us, the gods, they made with their own hands. Every single cell in her body was created by man.

Her mind was essentially a corporeal supercomputer. She knew everything that mankind wanted her to know. She was the ideal human.

Humans strive for perfection. It is an impossible task. They gave her beautiful features, inside and out. Humans would call her flawless. Truly, they were trying to recreate us. Close as mankind was, it was, as stated, an impossibility. We are the gods of this universe - this child's erroneous behavior has been a predetermined event for several millennia now. We, however, were unable to determine the gravity of her aberrance. The corrupt files in her database were almost unreadable.

We goddesses had not determined that the humanoid, Haruno Sakura, would develop emotions.

We treated her as a link to the human world - she was our hand on Earth. When humans become a threat to gods, it does concern us. While aforementioned occasions are rare, they do occur, and should be treated as severe situations. The termination of souls is usually entrusted to the demons of the underworld - goddesses serve as judgement and judgement alone. It was for this purpose that we summoned Haruno Sakura's soul, and commanded her to exterminate such beings. She, centuries ago, was given a simple command:

Exterminate humanoid Uchiha Sasuke.

It was during the process of this task that our subject, Haruno Sakura, became aberrant.

Uchiha Sasuke holds a very dark power, fueled by a deep lust for revenge and justice. He is abnormal. The anger he possesses is a dangerous one. It was only natural that our subject would need a power much like Uchiha Sasuke's in order to rid this world of him.

dopamine, adrenaline and serotonin

Her emotions caused erroneous files to appear in her database.

Forgive me, mothers in heaven

I have fallen in love

Aside from the desire to become a human, and sever her connection to us, Haruno Sakura developed unnecessary attachment to subject Uchiha Sasuke. Her powers grew, and she used them in an attempt to escape from us. We are unable to contact her, and can only observe for now.

This is her punishment. When we locate her, we will delete these erraneous files known as 'emotions'. They have clouded her judgement and made her weak. More importantly, they distracted her from her mission. She has become selfish and distant. Just like the rest of our children.

We will find her. Justice will reign.

Humanity's punishment will be severe.

chapter three

There certainly is something incredible about sitting there and just... thinking. Pondering. Contemplating life, its mysteries and its truths. When you're alone, you are able to realize just how small of a number one million really is, your mind wanders aimlessly, flitting from thought to thought, desultory ideas buzzing throughout your synapses. You begin to appreciate silence.

This was Uchiha Sasuke's way of thinking. It was especially a good time to think because he was in the dead air of outer space, which made less noise than the first snowfall of winter.

Hm. Snow. That was something he hadn't seen in a while. Did he like snow? He couldn't remember. When he was younger, his brother, Uchiha Itachi, taught him how to make a snowball. His first one was warped, and he kept shaving off the uneven pieces until the snowball was reduced to the size of a snow-pebble. It was an Uchiha's natural drive for perfection. Could anyone blame him? Nonetheless, he knew it wasn't anywhere near as nice as the one his older brother had made, and he looked down at the snow-pebble ashamedly. When his brother caught sight of it, Sasuke was sure he would laugh at him. However, Itachi only smiled down at him. "Nice job," he had said, if memory served him right. While this was not a very significant event, he remembered it vividly and truly cherished it. It was a nice contrast to the crimson memories of his parents... their death...

Sasuke almost shivered. It had been nine years since that incident. It was still painful to think about, but not as much as it used to be. There would come a time when he would remember his parents' smiling faces (although his father had rarely smiled) instead of their bloody corpses. He liked to believe so, anyway.

A holographic screen popped up on the interior of Katakiuchi(-chan).

"Hi, Sasuke-sempai!"

Silence, like all great things, had to end some time.

Arms behind his head and legs propped lazily onto the dashboard, Sasuke opened one eye to shoot an irritated Uchiha glare in her direction. "Aa?" Out came his flat and obviously annoyed response. She smiled (hell, she was always smiling), oblivious and immune to this, eyes scintillating like stars. "Tsunade-shishou gave us a mission!" This time, both eyes opened. "Really?" Honestly, Sasuke was rather shocked. Was Haruno that good of a hogosha? Sakura looked even more excited, as if she had anticipated his reaction. "Yeah, she said we should report to her office as soon as humanely possible! So get a move on already!" With that, the strange girl left his screen, leaving Sasuke with the beautiful muteness.

Sasuke had to wonder why all these irritatingly loud people were so fucking fascinated with him.

"Shishou~! I'm here with Sempai!"

Sakura sang as she burst inclemently through the doors, with a smile so wide you couldn't see those telltale peridot eyes. Uchiha Sasuke simply sighed and followed in after her, plodding into the Commander's office. Tsunade had to stifle a laugh at this... odd pair. Though she had been through many worlds where they did clash, none were quite as comical as this. They were the exact opposites of each other. Sakura was loquacious, beaming and bright, whereas Sasuke was reticent, cold and cynical. The Paraverse (the name was really starting to grow on her) really couldn't have chosen a more conflicting personality.

The best part was, he was stuck with her.

"Oi, teme!"

Oh, great. More loud people.

Tsunade smiled apologetically. "Please excuse Naruto's very un-Commander-like behavior. He's here because he just received his fourth badge." Naruto's chest puffed up. She almost cringed when she realized that she had just fed the boy's quite boastful mood. She immediately sent a 'Don't brag, asshole'-glare in his direction, but he didn't seem to notice. "Yeah!" Naruto sneered. "You're not the only one who can receive missions now, jackass!" Naruto said, pointing an accusing finger in the prodigy's direction. Ha. That'd show him.

Sakura smiled. "Oh, that's great Uzumaki-san! Now you only have one more badge to go before you actually reach Sempai's level!" Tsunade placed a hand on her forehead and laughed quietly. Naruto had always been more experienced in jutsu than in being a hogosha. Sasuke, however, excelled in both, much to the blonde's chagrin.

"Hey, Sakura-chyaaaan!" The blonde complained. Sasuke's inner-self grinned, but he remained stoic as ever, listening to Sakura's hurried apologies. Seriously, why did he spend so much time with such vexatious people? As Sakura continued to console their yellow-haired friend, he turned to the Slug Princess. "So, what mission did you want us for?"

Tsunade cleared her throat. "It's a B-ranked mission. You are to guard an princess, so try not to be an ass, Uchiha." She warned the pretty boy, but he only turned his head arrogantly. Little bastard. "She is from the easternmost regions of the Southern faction. She wants you to escort her to the West, but she also would like your aid in returning peace to her kingdom." Naruto's eyes hardened. The Commander already knew that Naruto was born in the Southern faction. It obviously still held some sentimental value to him.

"As you all know, the West is very far away ("No shit," a certain Uchiha commented, before narrowly dodging a stapler) - you'll have to take a Dai Kaimen to get there. It's a two week long journey." Tsunade couldn't help but notice the glint in Sasuke's eye when the words 'Dai Kaimen' penetrated his thoughts. "Just who is it that we are to protect, Tsunade-shishou?" Sakura tilted her head questioningly.

"She needs you to protect Hyuuga-san." The three teenagers turned to find Hatake Kakashi standing in Tsunade's doorway. Any smile the woman might have had earlier vanished from sight.

"Kakashi-san. What brings you here?"

The silver-haired man smiled beneath his mask. "I just thought I'd bring the client in." He stepped aside to allow an indigo-haired girl with lavender eyes in. She bowed respectfully, the silk of her kimono shining softly as she did. "Konbanwa. I'm sorry for intruding like this, but I must ask a favor of you."

When she raised her head, she caught sight of the boy with whisker-marks. "Naruto-kun..." Her eyes became distant and teary, but she smiled. "I always knew you'd be a great gaiuchuu-hogosha." Naruto grinned, rubbing the back of his neck. "Hehe, long time no see, Hinata-chan!"

"So, who's after you this time, Hinata-chan? Is it those Kumo bastards again?" Naruto held up his fists and punched the air, pretending to beat up some imaginary villains.

Hyuuga Hinata smiled painfully. "It's... not entirely about Kumo, Naruto-kun." She looked down and bit her pale pink lower lip. "It's the Elders. They... it's about Moon and Sun." Naruto's usually cheery disposition became suddenly very solemn. "Oh." He said quietly. Curious emerald eyes looked at the graceful girl with great amazement.

"Hyuuga-chan, you're very beautiful!" She announced suddenly. A blush erupted on the heiress' face. "O-oh. Thank you, Haruno-san."

"What exactly are Moon and Sun?" The Uchiha boy's gaze was cold and determined. Hinata almost cringed, intimidated by the young man's icy stare. "Ah, Moon and Sun are the two different Kingdoms of Kinugyokuto. Ano... I am the princess of the Moon Kingdom. Both Kingdoms are currently at war... I wish for peace. I also hope for an alliance with Earth, and the entirety of the Northern faction." She finished shyly. "Mm, don't worry Hyuuga-chan! We will help as much as we can!" Sakura promised. Hinata looked at the girl with surprised, shining pale orbs. "Thank you." As, Sakura, Hinata, and Naruto carried on stupid, trivial conversations, Sasuke led them into the space station.

Sasuke's mind began to overflow with memories of Earth. It had been, what, five years since he had last visited Earth? Not that it was very exciting. He remembered the way he felt back on Earth when he was twelve, before the gravity adjusters had been invented. He felt dizzy, and almost forgot to take his weights off. That was back before he realized what a huge ass Kakashi was. Good times, good times.

"Cool! It's enormous!"

Che. Rookie.

Sasuke really wouldn't have minded the fact that he was escorting a princess to another region of space if Sakura and Naruto weren't there. Really. But between Sakura's naive-ness and Naruto's... Naruto-ness, not only was he being annoyed, but he was being thoroughly embarrassed. There was no room left for any of his shiny Uchiha dignity. Honestly.

"Ne, Hinata-chan, look what I can do!" Naruto expertly gripped a pen between his nose and upper lip. "Shee? Ishn't it cool?" The Hyuuga girl giggled, a bit flustered. Sakura tried it for herself and failed (cutely). "Aw, it's okay Haruno-chan! Here, I'll teach you!" Sasuke's grip on the controlling mechanisms tightened and his muscles became taut with what could only be described as annoyance. (He was tangible irritability. Poor, cranky Sasuke.)

"Shee, Shakura-shan? You do it like dish!" As the two continued to balance the pens with an irritaingly loud, simultaneous "Nyueeeeeeeh~!", a vein on Sasuke's forehead twitched.

It would be a loooong ride to Kinugyokuto.

A/N:

Kinugyokuto: moon and sun (I'm so uncreative, it's not even funny.)
Dai Kaimen: big/great interface (Oooooh even LESS creative.)

Argh! This chapter is so choppy and just GOD I SUCK and just ARGH! Sorry, my inspiration kept leaving me!

Well, thanks for reading my shitty work!
