"So where exactly are you taking me? And believe it or not, I can walk…" the young Uchiha said after an hour of branch hopping through the forest on the blue Akatsuki's back.
Kisame chuckled, "I am fully aware of what you can do, Sasuke-kun; I just prefer to carry you."
The raven grinned slightly in reply, "I didn't mean that I wasn't enjoying it…" the shark's breath hitched slightly in response. "But, really, where are we going?"
"Oh I am still taking you to the lair; I just knew that Deidara couldn't be trusted to not take advantage when such a perfect opportunity arose with Itachi not around... Ha and looks like I got there just in time." The blue Akatsuki stopped suddenly, "Oh and since we are getting closer…" he removed the silk blindfold, and easily tied it through the silken locks of ebony. "We still have to be wary even if Itachi never wants to let you go. Orochimaru is incredibly desperate for his hot piece of ass to fuck, I'm sure…"
Sasuke grimaced, "I wonder how severe his withdrawal symptoms are..." He turned his head, almost feeling bad for his sensei; he's taught me every useful jutsu I know, and even I never wanted such a sudden departure… The raven stopped that train of thought just before it pulled out of the station. What the fuck? Do I actually care about him?
The shark sighed evenly. He seems so innocent, and yet I know for a fact that he is the furthest thing from it… Still, I'm not sure he deserves what Itachi has in store for him... From all the "toys" he's bought lately it could be pretty damn brutal. He took to the trees, increasing his pace in order to get back as soon as possible. Oh well…I wonder if what Deidara said is true… But even if it is, he must have had a fantastic reason; not that he would ever want to talk about it... At least Sasuke seems to be okay with this whole arrangement; I am sure he easily could have broken away before the chakra restraints drained him or at least found some way to leave a trail for the snake , but since he chose not to…
His thoughts were interrupted as he felt a firm tap on his shoulder. "What--" he began, but was immediately silenced by a harsh whisper in his ear.
"If you don't already know, there are at least four ninja closing in on us from the southeast; their pace has been steadily increasing for a while now. Are you planning on doing anything, or are they going to catch up to us?" Sasuke asked a bit hurriedly, pausing for a response. When he received none, he continued, "So you didn't notice. True, they have been quite stealthy, but that is no excuse; I have been aware of them for a while now."
"Then why didn't you say anything before?" Kisame answered in a low growl, "Clearly we can't exactly fight them; I guess our only chance is to run…"
The raven rolled his eyes, "That is completely out of the question… Do you have no pride?"
The shark snorted as he increased his pace, "I'd rather not get my ass kicked by Itachi for putting you in danger… Besides, do you really want to see those Konoha losers again?"
"Hn. I don't really give a fuck about any of them, and it would be pretty fun to kick their asses…" Sasuke removed the blindfold and chakra restraints. "As soon as I get some strength back, I can transport us nearer to the lair."
"Hey what the-- how the hell did you get those off?!"
"I loosened them a while ago so I could keep some strength. Anyway, there's a clearing up ahead; I suggest we meet them there."
"What if they don't follow us? I mean, logically it could be a trap…" but the blue Akatsuki was getting more excited by the second; it had been so long since he had fought anyone he was allowed to kill, and the bitches after Sasuke would be perfect to satisfy his craving for bloodshed.
"Oh they'll follow, especially when they find us standing in plain sight. Besides, they must have a Hyuuga with them; that's how they've been tracking our movements so perfectly. They should have no trouble in realizing that there is no trap, and therefore they should assume a fair fight."
They arrived at the clearing and Sasuke removed himself from the shark's back to stand beside him. "Does that mean that we won't give them a fair fight? I think we could take them down easy as hell…"
"I know we can. I meant that our strength is so much greater than all of their techniques combined, so ultimately it is bound to be pretty pathetic." The Uchiha smirked slightly as he thought of their reactions to his new state. Let's just see if they still think I'm worth "saving" after this…
Kisame frowned slightly at the look on Sasuke's face; did he really not know how hard they had been trying to find him? I wonder if something more happened; I remember the Jinchuuriki being especially upset by his departure… But does it go deeper than friendship? If so, why would Sasuke be so eager to throw his current perverted circumstances in their faces?
"Kisame, you think too much." The raven said suddenly as if in response to his thoughts, "Really, what's bothering you anyway?"
How the hell does he expect me to answer that? I can't just tell him that I've been questioning his sanity and anxiously wondering if his current demeanor has something to do with his past… "Nothing really… Just going over my battle plan…"
"Right… I guess we'll discuss this later then; I get the feeling you have some questions to ask me." He chuckled slightly in response to the glare he received for his blunt assumptions which happened to be correct. "Anyway, they're closing in; I don't think they'll immediately launch an attack, but be prepared for anything." The Uchiha sobered quickly, his mask of indifference taking over once again.

Finally; we're so close again. God I hope we don't repeat last time… The blonde thought with a slight shudder; he remembered the previous events as if they were yesterday rather than at least 2 years ago. The pain and feelings of abandonment were still strong as ever…

A/N
Okay, so, yeah, this is a PATHETICALLY SHORT chapter, but the next one is pretty long… See, I wanted to keep the whole impending flashback together.
Besides, this is a bonus chapter due to my birthday! Yay! (Since the day of posting was January 13th)… Yeah… Well… I was feeling generous XD
I hope you enjoyed it… I'm on my way to the premiere of the most FUCKING AWESOME THING EVER!!!! Hell yes!!! Okay, really, get this; I'd been anxiously counting down the days to a day when Repo! The Genetic Opera would FINALLY premiere in my area (Utah; omg I NEVER thought it would happen XD XD XD), and then they decide to do a 3rd road tour with their first destination being on my birthday and in my state!!!!!!! OH MY FUCKING BEAUTIFUL GOD!!! Could things be any more perfect?
Ehem… Sorry about the ranting… Anyway, go check out Repo! The Genetic Opera because it is my new ultimate obsession! (not that I'm neglecting Sasuke, mind you…) And, really, it is AMAZING! The director just happens to be the genius Darren Lynn Bousman (aka the director of the Saw movies), which is perfect because on their awesome tour both him and Terrance Zdunich (Graverobber and co-creator of Repo) are going to be there!!! HOLY SHIT! I don't think the reality has hit yet…
Well, yeah, it's the most perfect movie I've encountered in years, so buy it (dvd is available on January 20th) or see it, or whatever! Just get involved, damnit!! If you want more info, then just PM me with questions and I'll tell you all you want to know and more (as I'm sure I've already done ^.^')
Thanks so so so much for your continued support!
Love,
Toxy
