Chapter 19 Camouflage

Sasuke turned a corner. No good, just another dead end. The more he ran around the more lost he seemed to get. Obviously whoever had planned out this ambush meant to get them separated. Sasuke reached three tunnels, decided on the left one and continued running. He didn't know how long he had been running around but fatigue was washing over him. He stopped to lean against the wall, trying to catch his breath. Sasuke needed to think this through, why would they want them to be separated? Was this genjutsu? If so why couldn't he see through it? The more questions he thought of the more complicated Sasuke's situation seemed to get. He breathed in deeply then exhaled. First, he needed to calm down.

Something brushed against his neck and he jumped back. A pair of fingerless gloved hands were reaching out.

"You're a quick one." A voice said.

Sasuke backed up as a person began to appear form the wall. It was a women who appeared around her twenties. Black, styled hair shaped her face, spilling over her shoulders. She overlooked him with pale violet eyes. Her outfit was a dark purple and rather obscene, part of the fabric in the shirt had been cut away to reveal the woman's cleavage. The skirt she wore was rather short and stockings crawled up her legs.

"My name is Sara." She said. "I'll be your opponent, boy."

Sasuke stared down at the hole in Sara's shirt.

Those are so fake. He thought. (lol)

"You're pretty cute." A voice whispered in his ear.

He jumped back and Sara laughed. When had she gotten behind him? Sasuke hadn't even seen her move. Yet here she stood before him completely relaxed with a smile across her face. Sara tossed her hair.

"I'd be such a shame to kill you." She said in a whiny voice. "If you become my slave I'll let you live."

Sasuke straightened. "Hmph, you wish."

Sara shrugged. "Oh, well I tried."

She rushed forward and Sasuke stepped to the side, causing Sara to hit the wall instead of him. Sasuke prepared himself for another attack but she had disappeared. Sasuke looked around, she was no where. There was the sound of something slicing through air and Sasuke felt something drip down his face. He touched it and saw blood on his finger tips. She had cut him but he still had no idea where she was. There was a ripping sound and Sasuke saw his sleeve cut open, his upper arm bleeding. The attacks were coming from all directions, and Sasuke couldn't keep up with the speed. He activated his Sharingan, looking around. Something moved and Sasuke jumped to the side. Sara appeared and looked at him over her shoulder.

"Oh? Very good." She said. "But can you keep up this time?"

Then she was gone again. Sasuke took a deep breath and focused. Movement. Sasuke dodged but not enough, she had still managed to cut his chest a bit. She appeared once again.

"Not as fast that time?" She asked.

Sasuke touched his new wound but a smirk spread across his face. Sara realized to late and the letter bomb attached to her back exploded. Sasuke waited for the smoke to clear but when it did she had disappeared again.

"Fuuton! Hirashi Kaze no jutsu!(Wind element! Wind Storm!)" Sara's voce echoed.

A gust of wind rushed towards Sasuke, cutting scars into the near by rocks. Sasuke sucked in, gathering his chakra in his chest.

"Katon! Goukakyu no Jutsu!"

Flames burst forward from Sasuke's lips. Wind fuels fire, when the two collided it increased the fire power and domain. Sasuke jumped up to a ledge watching as the fire spread across the ground below. A figure blurred into view and Sasuke caught it in the corner of his eye. Sara threw a fist at Sasuke. He blocked it and she kicked him in the stomach. Sasuke coughed up blood and skid back. Sara chuckled.

"I'm having fun with you!" She said. "Come at me."

Sasuke drew his sword and ran at her. Sara was caught of guard and blocked, causing her arms to sliced. She let out a frustrated cry as she skidded back. She stared down at her cut arms.

"You little punk!" She screamed.

Sasuke charged again without hesitation but Sara was prepared and blocked with a kunai. She tried to overpower him but Sasuke was stronger and pushed her back. She lost her balance and Sasuke took the opportunity. But when he slashed, she dropped and kicked his sword out of his hand. Sasuke switched to melee automatically but she matched him and blocked his attacks. Sasuke managed to kick her feet out from under her and ran for his sword while she was down. He grabbed the hilt and spun around but something dug into his side. He looked down to see a kunai digging into the side of his stomach. He let out a gasp and staggered back. Sara smiled at him, blood had splattered across her face. Sasuke fell back on the ground. He tried to stand once again but Sara crouched down over him, holding a kunai to his throat.

"Well, it was fun." She said. "I'll send you to the afterlife with a little gift."

She leaned in but stopped. She pulled away and let out an exasperated sigh.

"He has the worse timing." She complained as she stood. "Maybe we'll meet again if you don't bleed to death."

She turned away and disappeared. Sasuke sat up slowly, thankful for his narrow escape. He pulled the kunai from his side with a painful gasp and tossed it away. He stood slowly, holding his side. Sasuke looked around. Now he really needed to find the others.

Author notes: No this chapter wasn't long. Most of them will be pretty short for a bit. But yeah so I paired Sasuke up with a slut and yes, my Fuuton jutsu wasn't very creative.
