I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! Hey guys, umm … I'm not sure if "I'm sorry" is gonna cut it, but I'M SORRY! I know I haven't written for six months, but that is changing NOW! I was re-reading chapter 7 and realised that I really wanted to write it again, forget coursework and A Levels, focus on writing for once. So I am =D But seriously, I did not plan for it to be so long, so I am very sorry for that.
This chapter is dedicated to:
Fyreyce (Formerly Recurring Soul, formerly Satsujin Akuma hehe) Cookie for you once again (I'm feeding you too much =p)

Siah Yasana

For reviewing chapter 7 =) You guys are awesome, and thanks to you five kunai were thrown at Kabuto so you guys rock =D
Once again, very sorry and I'll try to be much quicker next time so don't hate me! =(
NOTE: And woah, reading back even further (chapter 5 to be precise) I realised that apparently Hinata and Naruto were meant to be together now… and I've probably said that in the past too … which really doesn't go with last chapter, or when he met Takara … because he wouldn't cheat on Hinata (I wouldn't let him) So … just say they AREN'T together yet … (YET) but Naruto still tried match-making or whatever the excuse in chapter 5 was … yeah …
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I didn't get Naruto for Christmas by Kishimoto last year … he gave me socks instead … (that's a joke btw)
ENJOY!!!
Previously on 'The Wrong One' …
I could hear Kiba and Naruto's argument, be it slightly fuzzy, and I heard Kakashi's scream of my name, before the other two stopped and realised what was going on.
I fell to the floor as he stabbed my side with a kunai and cried in pain. He said hello to my three teammates before he bent down and slung me over his shoulder.
"I think it's about time you came with me." He whispered as I was losing consciousness. He flung a kunai at what I think was Naruto, as he repeated shouted 'bastard' and 'Sakura'. I heard footsteps that were undoubtedly his and I felt Kabuto kick him in the stomach, and, by the sounds of it, knocking him into a tree.
Akamaru barked a few times and I assumed it was Kiba's turn to try and get me from Kabuto, but he was beaten also.
I heard Kabuto laugh and a big explosion, before he disappeared with me on his shoulder and the next thing I just about saw was a dark, dank corridor, before finally closed my eyes and slipped into unconsciousness …
Chapter 8: Awkward Reunion
"The BASTARD!"
Kakashi sighed once more at Naruto's repetitive shouts as he punched down on the rock he was sitting on once more, causing it to almost break into quarters.
"Sit still, Naruto. Consider yourself lucky I was carrying Sakura's medical equipment. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to bandage you up and you wouldn't be able to continue on this mission. It was a pretty hard blow you suffered, Kabuto's definitely been learning."
"But Kakashi, he took Sakura. He TOOK Sakura. I've never seen her in so much pain. I didn't know she was on her period during this mission…"
Naruto trailed off, leaving Kakashi to ponder whether Sakura ever told him such things, before shaking it off and continuing to wrap Naruto up.
"It wasn't anything like that."
Kakashi and Naruto stopped what they were doing and glanced over at Kiba, who was sitting on the same rock Sakura was situated little over 30 minutes before. His head was down, fiddling with his fingers. Kakashi got up and walked over to him as Naruto followed suite, forgetting momentarily about the bandages.
Kakashi placed a hand on Kiba's shoulder as Akamaru whined quietly, feeling his owner's pain. Kiba didn't look up once, but knew his teammates were questioning him. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair before resting his hands on the back of his neck.
"I told her I wouldn't tell you this … those pains in her stomach … Kabuto gave them to her … that time he came and we fought in the forest, he "healed" her when she wounded her stomach, but it turned out he just did something like that to her … I questioned her about it when I noticed her in pain that night, and I promised I wouldn't tell you guys because we knew how paranoid you'd get … and I told her she was being paranoid … God I'm such an idiot …"
He hung his head even lower, and there was a long silence between the three males as the loudmouth and the porn-lover registered their thoughts and enabled the confession Kiba told to sink in.
"So … you knew she was in pain, knowing that she was in pretty high danger … and yet you never told us?"
Naruto was being strangely calm, which unnerved the dog lover even more. He nodded once, still not meeting his teammates' eyes, waiting for the storm to approach.
"ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU CAN'T KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND NOT TELL US! DAMN RIGHT WE'D BE PARANOID, HER FUCKING LIFE WAS ON THE LINE! ALSO –"
"Naruto, I think you should quit while you're ahead. You haven't been doing anyone any favours today so I think you should cool off. Kiba knows he was in the wrong to hide it but there's not a lot we can do about that now. What matters is he told us. Now, Kiba, is there anything else we need to know?"
It was then that Kiba finally looked up at Kakashi. He looked slightly older, but that could've been due to the stress he'd been through today. He shook his head slowly, focusing back on the grass beneath his feet. Kakashi sighed and grabbed Naruto by the collar, pulling him backwards as he could tell something dangerous would happen to Kiba if he didn't.
"We'll set up camp here. It's too dark to move out now. We'll continue heading towards Orochimaru's hideout tomorrow."
Naruto glared at Kiba before waving his arm dramatically and throwing his previously neat bag onto the floor, where the contents now spewed out on the floor. He shook his sleeping bag out roughly, not even bothering to set up his tent.
Kiba slid off the rock silently, afraid to make any noise that would cause the volcano to erupt inside Naruto. He knew he was going to get a lot of shit for it, but all that mattered to him was that Sakura was found and brought back to them safely.
Brought back to him.
Meanwhile………………..
I woke up groggily, squinting as I faced what seemed to be the only source of light I could find. My head was whirling too fast for me to comprehend and my vision blurred occasionally. I was surprised, having feeling strangely no pain after the blows I received. I turned my head to try and figure out where I was, and realised it couldn't move much due to the fact that I was apparently chained to a wall.
I could have kicked myself for not realising that before if … I wasn't chained to a wall …
Humour aside, I glanced upwards to the chains that held my wrists. They seemed pretty strong, but I'm sure it wouldn't take much effort for me to break them when I regained my strength. My ankles seemed to be bound in tighter chains, but I figured I could break them too. My head flopped down again, as the strength I mustered up to look around seemed to vanish without a trace. My eyes rolled upwards to look through the tiny window on the door, which allowed the only light into the room.
I closed my eyes, feeling suddenly sleepy and faint again, as I began to hear muffled voices outside the door. I couldn't quite make out which voice belonged to who, and I didn't really care. As the many secure locks on the rusty door clicked, however, I was slightly more awake than before.
Suddenly the door sprang open quicker than it probably should have, allowing light to flow into the room, happy to not be restrained anymore.
I lifted my head up slightly and squinted at the silhouette emerging from the light. I couldn't tell who it was due to my eyes not functioning properly, but I knew it was a male.
Which, I suppose, didn't really narrow it down much.
Feeling faint once again, I lower my head, before a sharp, cold object rests under my chin and lifts it back up.
I strain to keep my eyes open as I see the silhouette clearer now. Spiky hair, slightly chunky yet insanely muscular, deep, dark, onyx eyes boring emotionlessly into mine, and a stoic expression to boot.
It can't be …
Holy shit …
"Sasuke?"
The end of chapter 8! I know it's short and very very crappy, but as you can see throughout I had good parts and absolutely terrible parts hehe. I promise I will try to update this sooner, especially now Sasuke is FINALLY in it and the SasuSaku can begin! *boogies* Yeah ……… so anyway … thank you for reading, if you still are ^.^ and if you are a reader that I'm currently reading a story of that has had about 5 chapters updated that I haven't reviewed yet … I will, I promise, but I had time off of coursework today and really wanted to get this up for you guys … as a treat of waiting 6 months for me hehe …
Over and Out,
-x-Emma-x-
P.S: I really do love you guys! It's you that give me motivation when I need it! So I LOVE YOU ALL! =D
