Naruto looked up from the ground, he was exhausted because of using the kyubi. "She's dead"Sasuke's eyes widened. Something passed in his eyes but it dissappeared as soon as it came."Tha...that's impossible" Sasuke said, his normal facade cracking."I couldn't save her, he took her, killed her and I couldn't even do a damn thing" Naruto was crying now.Sasuke was shaking, 'no no this is another nightmare, just another nightmare' "who?" He asked in a cold voice."Akasuna no Sasori , an akatsuki member"

"Sasuke-kun" karin called in her high pitched voice as she came running to him and was ready to cling to his arms.
She expected a Glare or an insult as it was like a daily routine but what happened left her scared and speechless.
She was pinned to the tree with a hand around her neck. A warm breath tickled her ear.
"Don't ever call me that again" Sasuke said in a low and dangerous voice.
When karin didn't acknowledged his command and just stood there like an idiot he tightened his hold on her neck.
"Am I understood?"
She squeaked an "y-yes"
He released her and looked behind him at the trees. "Set the camp"
And then he dissappeared.
Karin took a long breath. " What was that?" She whispered.
Suigetsu who with jugo was watching the scene unfold from a distance came into view.
Suigetsu whistled " well haven't seen him that angry before. And he wasn't even talking about his brother."
Jugo gave him a disapproving look and sighed. He looked at karin.
" He was angry at you for calling him sasuke-kun. But you have called him that before many times but before he didn't seem too angry only a little annoyed"
They set the camp up in silence. Each one of them in their own thoughts.

Sasuke fumed. He rested his forehead against the trunk of the tree. He let his emotions control him.
But he just couldn't help himself when he heard his name with that annoying honorific. Just for a fleeting moment his heart(if he have one anymore) believed that everything naruto had said has been a lie and sakura was here, alive.
But of course he had to be wrong.
He's always wrong.
He believed his older brother truly loved him. Wrong
He thought leaving team 7 will make him powerfull. wrong
He believed till the end that he wasn't jealous of naruto.wrong
He thought that sakura was in safe hands, that they will do everything they can to protect her.wrong SHE'S DEAD DAMMIT! !
Wrong! WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!
The tree broke in half with the sheer power he used in his fist to punch it.

Two figures were sitting sipping tea in a cafe. The people around them eyed them but didn't have the courage to say anything, they were aware that the two were dangerous.
"What's the matter danna , un?"
"She's back"
The blonde wriggled his eyebrows and said teasingly "So, shouldn't you be happy un?"
He recieved an irritated glare. The blonde cackled.
A third figure entered and sat with them.
" The target was reported to be hiding within a travelling caravan. Three days from now, They will stop at 'nami no kuni' for a day."
"We will leave tomorrow then" and the three of them disappeared.
The people left in the cafe released a sigh of relief, they won't be in any danger, for now.
Everyone around knew even the lowly civilians that those people with red and black cloaks spelled trouble.
