Chapter 52: Lost and Found
Sasuke looked as if he was going to jump off the balcony and run for it. Naruto looked like he was ready to chase Sasuke down and kill him if he tried. Myra was just trying to finish eating her ramen. There were a few tense moments when the only thing that could be heard was Myra eating her ramen.
"Hn." Sasuke turned his back on both of them, positioning himself to jump off the balcony. "I knew I couldn't trust you."
"Sure you can trust me!" Myra still had a large toothy grin on her face. Both the boys turned to glare at Myra. "Have I lied to either of you? Have I once said anything dishonest? Or done anything that would in any way cause you to think of me as deceptive?"
There was unanimous and resounding "YES!" from Sasuke and Naruto.
"Wow… That was unexpected." Myra pursed her lips. "Well fine then…" Myra picked up her bowl of ramen. "I'll just let you two beat the fuck out of each other and be done with it." Myra started to walk into the other room. "See if I care about either of you ingrates." She yelled from bedroom.
Sasuke smirked at Naruto. "So…"
"So…" Naruto gazed at the floor.
"You're supposed to kiss and make up for Pete's sake!" Myra yelled jokingly from the other room. Sasuke and Naruto scowled at that thought. Sasuke couldn't help remember that accidental moment at the academy before the genin teams were picked. Just as Sasuke could stop the image in his mind, Myra was standing at the door of the kitchen with a crazy grin on her face.
Sasuke put his fingers to the bridge of his nose. "I don't want to talk about it."
Naruto looked at Sasuke confused. "You don't want to talk about what?"
Myra was trying to stifle her laughter. "I bet that went over like a lead balloon."
"You have no idea." Sasuke groused.
"It explains a lot about the relationship you two have." Myra snickered.
Naruto's ears turned red as he realized what they were talking about. He growled momentarily and pointed into the other room. "YOU." He glared at Myra. "GO. EAT RAMEN."
Myra narrowed her eyes at Naruto and thought about protesting being kicked out of the kitchen. She wanted to stay and make snide comments. Sasuke shot her a nasty glare. Myra rolled her eyes and took a deep breath. "Hn. Yes your Majesty… I bow to your will, your Majesty." And she bowed out of the kitchen.
"About DAMN time!" The Fox cheered.
"Air you breathe… HA!" The blonde grumbled.
Sasuke shook his head and started to take position like he was going to jump off the balcony.
"Sasuke, wait…" Naruto started. "I got every reason to beat you to a bloody pulp and make you stay. I really don't want to face the wrath of Sakura after I do." Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Knowing Sakura, she would just heal you up just to beat the shit out of you herself."
Sasuke tried not to smirk. "Hn." He didn't move from the balcony.
"I don't know if you and Itachi had it out yet and I really don't care. Ok, so I do, cause I would like to kill him just for causing this whole mess to begin with. But we need you back Sasuke. Sakura needs you. I just want my friend back." Naruto looked at Sasuke with determination, hoping he could finally reach him.
"You're such a looser…" Sasuke got off the railing of the balcony and shook his head. "You can't do anything right with out me around anyway…"
Naruto gave Sasuke his trademark foxy grin and slapped him on the back. "Welcome back."
Sasuke gave Naruto an annoyed glare. "You ever hit Myra like that again, and I will kill you where you stand."
"And if you break Sakura's heart again, I will kill you where you stand." Naruto smirked.
"Dobe…"
"Teme…"
There were a few more moments of silence while both the boys expected Myra to make a sarcastic comment, but there was nothing coming from the bedroom. Naruto leaned back so he could see into the bedroom. "Myra?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Myra?" There was no answer. Sasuke extended his senses to see if he could sense her. He hadn't figured out that he could sense her, the way Myra could sense him. Sasuke suspected there was a trick to it that he would eventually get her to teach him.
Sasuke and Naruto walked into the bedroom to find the empty bowl on the nightstand and Myra missing.
"Well isn't this just great." Naruto groused.
"She runs away a lot. What do you do to make her run from you?" Sasuke crossed his arms and glowered at Naruto.
"Hey, she doesn't run away. Granted she has a habit of disappearing, but she always comes back." Naruto shrugged and tried to open up his senses to her, thinking that maybe he could find her. That's when he heard the water running next door. The blonde walked into his bathroom and turned on the hot water.
A second later, they heard Myra's shrill scream from the other side of the wall. "YOU BASTARD!"
Naruto looked at Sasuke with a triumphant grin and turned off the hot water. "She's taking a shower."
"Hn." Sasuke glared at Naruto.
"So now what?" Naruto crossed his arms.
"I have to go get the rest of my group. They aren't going to be happy." Sasuke turned to head out the balcony.
"Why don't you wait until we get Myra back to the hospital, tell Sakura and then we go get the goons?"
"Hn. I'm not going to run off again, dobe. I would rather break it to them alone." Sasuke hung his head.
"And what happens if they don't like that idea?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.
A smirk danced on Sasuke's face. "I guess I will have to make sure they get the idea."
"At least wait for Sakura. She will be very happy to see you." Naruto had that cheesy grin on his face.
"I don't know if I'm ready for that." Sasuke said honestly.
Myra entered through the kitchen braiding her hair and wearing her black low rider jeans, evil boots and a very tight mid drift t-shirt. She was also wearing her kunai holster and leaf insignia belt buckle. "Come on Pretty Boy, get dressed. I want to get to the hospital and get going before its too late."
Naruto jumped when she spoke. "Ok this is too weird." Myra and Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Well you're there," Naruto pointed to Sasuke, "and you're there." He pointed to Myra. "But I can't tell the difference."
"Maybe you should have Lady Tsunade check your eyes because there's a HUGE difference." Myra nodded.
Sasuke actually snickered, "Damn right!" He was thinking about a certain part of his male anatomy.
Myra turned a very devious smile at Sasuke and allowed pictures of Tsunade running naked go through her head.
Sasuke immediately lost his smirk. "Don't EVER do that again."
Myra shrugged. "I won't if you won't."
Naruto was staring at them confused. "Can we get back to why I can't sense a difference between you two?"
"Really? I thought of all the people in the world, you would be able to sense the difference." Myra smiled.
"Myra, what's he talking about?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"This is why I don't rely on sensing chakra." Myra smirked. "The easy explanation is that Sasuke and I are twins."
"That's impossible." Naruto scoffed.
"You're right it is. Genetically we are nothing alike, but chakra wise we are identical." Myra finished braiding her hair.
"What?"
"Huh?"
Myra rolled her eyes and let out a deep sigh. "Listen closely because I'm only going to explain this once." Myra swung the thick plat of hair behind her. "Sasuke and I have the same chakra signature. If you take the wave pattern from my med chart and overlay on to Sasuke's, it's the same. Only a few people in this world would be able to perceive the difference. It's why I feel so familiar to Naruto and Sakura. It explains the dream sharing and the telepathy."
Sasuke kept his face mute of emotion. "But you can dream share with anyone right?"
Naruto grimaced at Myra. "You can dream share with ANYONE?"
Myra smiled weakly and let out a little laugh. "Most of the time… It takes close proximity. With Sasuke… It's at least a five mile radius."
Naruto glared at Myra who smiled for a few more moments, then she started to pout. "DAMN IT GIRL… Don't do that." Naruto growled. "It isn't going to get you out of trouble this time."
"You make it sound like I go poking my nose into other people's heads anytime it suits me." She whined.
"HN." Sasuke scoffed.
Myra shot a nasty look at Sasuke. "You were a completely different case." She crossed her arms defensively. "Look we aren't going to get anything done standing around here. For the time being…" Myra was cut off by a knock at the door.
"Naruto?" Sakura's voice came from the other side of the door. "Are you still awake?"
Myra looked over to Sasuke. "It's now or never Bro. Out yourself to her and deal with that temper, or run for your life."
Sasuke never looked so petrified in his life. He had faced Orochimaru, a transformed Naruto, Itachi, hordes of ninja, but nothing prepared him for opening that door and facing Sakura after so long.
The knocking turned to pounding when Sakura sensed Myra on the other side of the door. "NARUTO! Please tell me you and Myra aren't… You PERVERT!"
Myra looked over to Naruto who had turned a nice shade of red. Myra giggled softly. "I'm not going to say I didn't think about it and I'm still thinking about it."
Sasuke's eye started to twitch. "And you can QUIT thinking about it." He grumbled and started to walk towards the door. Myra and Naruto stayed in the kitchen out of harms way.
Sakura pounded on the door. "NARUTO! OPEN THIS DOOR!"
Sasuke took a deep breath and opened the door. Green met onyx for the first time face to face in years.
Sakura glared at Sasuke. "Ha ha ha. Very funny Naruto. I think you got his hair wrong, it was a little more duckish if I remember correctly. Where's Myra? I know she's here." Sakura pushed past Sasuke. There was a moment when she looked back at Sasuke and stared deep into his onyx eyes.
In the kitchen, Myra silently counted backwards from five. When she got to one, she pushed Naruto to the ground. Sasuke came flying through the kitchen door and hit the balcony railing with a thud, bending the metal bars.
"MYRA!" Sakura bellowed.
"Before I come out of hiding I would like to point out that you were the one that asked me to remove the memory." Myra stayed on the floor.
Sakura furiously stomped into the kitchen. "BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY!"
Myra hid behind Naruto. The blonde looked nervously at Sakura. "Sakura-chan, please calm down. She just got out of the hospital… You wouldn't want to put her back there, now would you?"
Sasuke started to get up out of the tangled mass of metal. "Why the hell did you hit me?"
Sakura turned to Sasuke like a woman possessed. "THAT was for being a horse's ass and leaving." She stomped over to him and pulled him up by his collar. The pink one glared at the Uchiha menacingly for a moment and then planted a bruising kiss on his lips. Sakura warped her arms around his neck and Sasuke pulled her closer to him at her waist. Naruto and Myra just watched the two. Myra put her head on Naruto's shoulder.
"All is as it should be." Myra grinned.
Naruto put his arm around Myra. "I feel like I'm on top of the world. I got my best friend and girlfriend back all in the same day. Nothing could be better."
Myra raised a devious eyebrow. "I could think of something."
"I told you to quit that." Sasuke was still in a lip lock with Sakura.
"Shut up Fucktard, you're thinking it too." Myra grinned and pressed her lips to Naruto's.
