Yami-norka: the community looks interesting! I'll definitely post this fanfic on it when its finished ;) I'll try writing longer chapters. I guess i'm just so used to writing them short so I could print them and bring them to school, lol

Suigetsu: I remember that :D

Sasuke: You don't remember any things I don't know, baka :( *whips*

Suigetsu: *moans in painful pleasure* XoX

DISCLAIMER: Naruto is not mine. Also, I'm really unsure if I have to keep putting this o.o

"Well well, look what we have here, Sasori no Danna!" the taller Akatsuki member laughed as the two of them spotted Sasuke. He had long blonde hair, which went into a ponnietail in the back, while the bangs fell onto one side of his face. His blue eyes glittered with amusement.

"Black hair, black eyes, flawless features. He's an Uchiha." the one called Sasori grunted in a low and deep voice. He was appeared to be a hunched over and stiff person, sliding across the ground slowly. The lower half of his face was covered with a black cloth, while his eyes were bloodshot with small, black pupils.

Sasuke was dirtied in sand and sweat, still wearing the ruffled robe along with the cloth wrapped around his head. He grinded his teeth in anger as he glared at the two missing nin, who were approaching him. The blonde one licked his lips and grinned slyly.

"He looks just like Itachi, un." Sasuke clutched his hand into a fist at the comment and back a battle stance, drawing his katana and watching the two intently. Sasori eyed the weapon, stopping. His partner stopped two, slightly confused.

"Do you intend on fighting us, kid?" he asked in a gruff tone. The blonde one looked at Sasori, his grin wider.

"Are you challenging him, Danna?" he asked excitedly. The large man shot a glare at him.

"Deidara, shut up." he commanded. The blonde only giggled and watched. Sasori looked at the Uchiha again, moving towards him. "Listen, kid. I don't like to be kept waiting. If you intend on getting in our way, then you'll regret it." Strange metallic sounds were heard undearneath the Akatsuki member's cloak. Sasuke didn't move.

"I don't want to fight you either, if you're willing to tell me about my brother." he growled. Sasori glided down into the large cauldera of sand Sasuke was standing in. Deidara stayed where he was, still grinning.

"I didn't know I was oblidged to tell you anything, brat." the large man stopped, facing Sasuke. He shook his head down, letting his bamboo-strawn hat blow into the wind and onto the desert floor. Deidara cackled behind him.

"My my, Danna! You're more anxious than usual, hmm!" Sasuke eyed where Suigetsu was hidden. He didn't think the Akatsuki were going to be so impatient with him. They had only said a few words and already he was on the verge of fighting.

"I'm going to give you one more chance, kid. Give up and leave, then i'll spare your life. Itachi has special plans for you anyway." a vein popped in Sasuke's head. The damned missing nin had passed the line. He clutched his katana tightly and charged.

"Gaahhh!" he focused completely on the lump of black and red in front of him, approaching at blinding speed. He raised the sword and thrusted it forward as he was within reach of the man's brown and ugly face.

The sword impaled an ivory-coloured scorpion tail, stuck between the joints of it. Both pieces of metal twitched and shook as both users attempted to push against eachother. Sasuke was suprised at how strong the man was, and almost lost his footing. His sandals slid across the ground as Sasori began to gain the upper hand. He was still wondering how the man had gotten the tail in front of him in time. The Uchiha's eyes darted to the source of the tail, which was behind the man and under his cloak. What was he?

"Chidori Nagashi!" Sasuke empowered his hands with the electric energy and surged it through the sword. It then channeled past the blade and into the tail, electricuting Sasori. However, even though he was being shocked to death, he didn't flinch at all. In fact, he acted as if nothing was happening.

"That's an interesting technique, kid." the man grunted. "However, you underestimate me." The tail swooped to the side, taking Sasuke's sword with it and in turn, Sasuke himself. The Uchiha held on to the handle for dear life, being flung up in the air as the tail kept going higher and higher, attempting to shake him off. Deidara cheered and clapped his hands.

"Wooho! Go Danna, hmm!" unbeknowst to the blonde, another teenage shinobi had snuck up behind him, with a kunai drawn. Suigetsu grinned as he tackled Deidara from behind, stabbing him in the back of the head.

"Ugh!" Deidara grunted in pain as he hit the ground face first, pinned by the mist nin. Suigetsu almost made a cheer of his own, but he noticed that no blood was seeping from the wound. It meant one thing; that it was a clone.

The sound of a fuse was enough to make Suigetsu hop off the limp blonde and roll down the hill for cover. The corpse exploded with a loud bang, sending up a small pillar of smoke. The nin covered his head and frowned, looking at the crater that had replaced the body.

"An exploding substitution?" he muttered, confused.

"Suigetsu!" the male looked up and remembered that his lover was dangling from Sasori's scorpion tail many meters above him. He got up and sprinted towards the Akatsuki member, pulled his hand into a fist. The cells in his arm convulsed and expanded, turning his skinny arm large and muscular.

"Do you think i'm that stupid?" Sasori muttered, lowering his head. The tail swung downward, right in front of Suigetsu. Sasuke lost his grip from the force of the impact and skidded across the sand into the ditch that the mist-nin had been swimming in earlier.

"Tch!" Suigetsu bit his lip as he took a punch at the tail, hoping to break it. However, it didn't even quiver from the blow, and instead, it rose in the air and slashed through Suigetsu's stomach. The boy dissolved into water and reformed next to it. He spit a mouthful of sand from his mouth and groaned. Since he had melted on hot sand, he lost a lot of his moisture in the ground. In other words, he was almost dehydrated.

"How foolish, un!" Deidara returned, only this time in a different method of entrance. Suigetsu eyed the sky with awe as the Akatsuki member flew on top of a gray, clay bird. It opened its jaw and many small, clay spiders fell from its mouth. "Danna! Get out of the way, un!"

Sasori leapt from his position onto the hill behind him. Suigetsu's eyes widened as the spiders descended downward, landing around him. The Uchiha was slowly getting out of the sand ditch, where the spiders landed as well.

"Sasuke! Look out!" Suigetsu sprinted towards him and tackled him, the both of them rolling away from the spiders just before they started to light up.

"Art is a blast!" Deidara shouted. Sasori jumped onto the clay bird, which had landed away from Sasuke and Suigetsu, and it took flight just as the bombs exploded loudly. The blonde smiled in satisfaction and turned to his superior.

"Wasn't that beautiful, un? That was true art." Sasori didn't answer, still gazing at the smoke pillar. THe ashes were fluttering up towards the clouds.

"...Deidara. Shut up."

"Ok then, un." the bird ascended up into the sky and flew over the crater. They couldn't the teenagers anywhere, so they assumed the two had been annihilated. The blonde inhaled a breath of heated air and grinned. Now, the next victim of his art awaited him: the Shukaku Jinchuuriki.

"..."

Suigetsu opened one eye, glancing around him. It was dark, and he could still feel sand beneath him. There was no Sasuke in his grasp.

"Sasuke?" he questioned out loud. No answer. "Sasuke where are you?"

"hiss..." shivers ran up the mist-nin's spine as a snake's hiss sounded all around him. He looked up and squinted to see white scales above him.

"Baka." Sasuke voice muttered behind him while the scales parted to reveal the sunlight. Suigetsu turned to see the Uchiha unharmed.

"Sasuke!" he shouted in joy, hugging the male tightly. The Uchiha's eyes widened, unsure of how to react. There was a long period of silence, Suigetsu hugging and Sasuke standing. The sun's rays beat around them, and the white snake disappeared in a puff of smoke. Sand fell down from where the snake had been, cluttering around them.

"Umm...Suigetsu?" Sasuke mumbled.

"Yes?"

"You can let go of me now."

"Oh." the teen blushed and took his arms off the other male, scatching his head nervously.

"So, how did we escape the blast?" Suigetsu asked quietly.

"I summoned a snake to knock us under the sand and cover us. It took the majority of the hit." Suigetsu looked at him in awe.

"How did you learn to summon snakes?"

"Orochimaru." the silver-haired teen shivered at the mention of the name.

"Creepy..." they stood there in the middle of the desert, covered in dry sand and still with no water. Suigetsu panted and leaned on the Uchiha. "We never got any water!"

"I know." Sasuke looked dissmayed. The encounter had been anything but productive. What pissed him off the most was that the Akatsuki members had escaped, leaving him with no infortmation.

"Sasuke..." Suigetsu whispered. "I think i'm hallucinating again." the Uchiha pinched the bridge of his nose in defeat.

"Well then, what do you see?"

"Two men with turbans on a camel with water jugs."

"Then your hallucinating." Suigetsu shut his eyes, which burned.

"That sucks. They look so real too." He kneeled down on the sand and rested his head in his arms. Sasuke sat down and looked around them. Nothing but desert, broken by a caravan of two men in the distance. Completely hopele- wait, what?

"Huh?" Sasuke rubbed his eyes, and looked again. There were two men with turbans, atop a camel whose saddle had several jugs that slushed with water. Was it real?

"Suigetsu..." he muttered, shaking the mist-nin awake.

"What is it?"

"Those men..." Sasuke pointed at the camel.

"So you're hallucinating too?"

"No...I think they're real." the two teens looked at eachother, then at the camel again. They're eyes widened and they slowly got up. As the sun beat above them, they approached the camel and two men.

"Kanada-sama, who are they?" one of the asked. He had a mustache and glasses, along with a headband contained the Suna symbol on it.

"I'm not sure. They might be mauraders or bandits!" the other man stated. He was bald and had a long white beard, as well as small and squinted eyes that looked closed. He had the Suna symbol engraved on his sleeve. "You there! Who are you?"

Sasuke drew his sword and, in an instant, appeared behind them. A flash of blood was all the elderly man saw before his companion fell to the ground in a bloodied heap. He looked into the Uchiha's sharingan eyes in utter terror.

"My name is Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke." he pointed the blade at the man's throat. "In your dying breath, know me as the man who will avenge the Uchiha Clan." Blood splattered on the desert sand as the elderly man fell next to his partner.

"Nice!" Suigetsu cheered and jumped into the camel, who grunted. "Now we got our own pet camel! Good job Sasuke!" his lavender eyes looked over at the teen, who was giving him an 'are you retarded?' look.

"We didn't kill them for the camel, baka. We killed them for the water."

"Well at least we got free transportation!" Suigetsu grinned happily. Sasuke took one of the jugs of water and handed it to his overexcited friend.

"Just drink some water so you don't die."

"Ok!" Sasuke mounted the camel and took the reins, getting it to start moving. He unravelled a green parasol from the saddle and propped it open above them to shield them from the heat. With a full supply of water, they might actually make it to Suna. He downed a jug of water in haste and made felt refreshed. He would need to be refreshed when they got there. After all, he heard Gaara of the Desert was the new Kazekage. If he was found, things wouldn't go well.

Next chapter, the two lovers will enter Sunagakure! Until tomorrow! X3

Suigetsu: Tomorrow is in an hour o.o

Me: Well...shut up DX

Suigetsu: *chuckles*
