SASUKE'S POV

Yami wasn't back from her mission yet, so it gave me enough time to make sure everything was ready. Sadly, I wasn't sure if she would even be back in time for this party, but I had a good feeling she would be.

During her mission she would send me a message through messenger hawk on whether she was close to the enemy or not. I haven't heard from her in a few days so I guessed she was busy confronting the enemy. Hopefully she'd be okay, but I figured she would be considering her ninja status.

Everything for her party was set. I had everyone at Yami's house first and then we would take her to the club; that way she wouldn't be confused and could change her clothes if she had to.

"What's taking Kura so long? She should be back by now!" Naruto's impatience annoyed me but I couldn't help but agree with him. It was nearly six and I assumed she'd be at least coming close to the village earlier. Hinata and Neji used their Byakugan to try to find her, and both of them did.

"She's a few meters away from here walking. I'm guessing she wants to take her time," Neji said. Hinata nodded, "No one else is with her so I'm guessing her team is taking care of everything she wanted them to so she could get back."

I nodded at them, starting to become nervous. I worked really hard to set everything up, I hope she likes it.

Tenten shouted "here she comes" and we all hid and turned off the lights. I heard Yami unlock the door and when it opened we jumped out and yelled "surprise!" We didn't expect what we saw, though.

What the hell?

KURAYAMI'S POV

I sighed as I threw another kunai at the ninja coming up behind me. My comrades and I have been fighting a mix of sound ninja and bandits who thought it was fun to try and cause havoc on neighboring villages. They noticed we didn't take to kindly to that but attacked us anyway. I saw Ronnie, one of my teammates, get really annoyed at all this and threw one of the sound ninja into a tree. He could never control his temper. "This is getting ridiculous!"

"I know," replied Sonya. She was using her own skills in the sound ninja art to disrupt their attacks. "Are there anymore of them?"

Mika nodded slightly while stabbing a bandit with her sword, "Only a few. I don't sense any more of them nearby." I spun my fans around and got into a stance, "Then let's end this. Everyone, get as far away from here as possible and hold on to something. I'll contact you when it's safe." They nodded and jumped away quickly. When I felt the faint sense of their chakra, I allowed the enemy to come closer to me.

They laughed as they honestly thought I would be defeated, but I was actually trying to build up my chakra at the moment for this final attack.

They really pissed me off.

"Oh look, just the little girly left. You're 'friends' abandoned you," said one of them snickering. Everyone else laughed with him while I kept my calm. When they all ran to attack me, I quickly started making hand signs while activating my Karengan. I then started spinning around slightly in the rotation style, which turned out to get faster and faster to pick up wind speed. Since they were too close to me, they started to be pushed slightly by the pressure.

Faster. Faster. Faster!

Getting faster each second, I soon formed a tornado they were all caught in. As they were screaming and trying to break free of my justu, I infused chakra into my fans in order to do my final attack "wind blades". Still spinning, I swung my arms in the directions I sensed the enemies chakras above me. I heard their screams and cries as the chakra blades formed from my fans released and hit the enemy dead on. I didn't stop until I could no longer feel their chakra, and soon released the jutsu. Since I stopped, all of their dead bodies fell around me and some of their blood had gotten on me. I deactivated my Karengan and noticed I was already bleeding from a few cuts I had received and had a nose bleed from the wind pressure I created, but other than that I was just glad the mission was over.

I'm too young for this crap.

I put a hand on my earpiece, "Alright guys, you can come out."

"I'm glad you told us to take cover Kurayami," Sonya said trying to step over the dead bodies. "I could feel the pressure from where we were, and we were pretty far."

Ronnie nodded, "Yeah, we really owe ya one."

"You wanna repay me?" I asked knowing exactly what I wanted from them. They nodded and I continued, "Can you get rid of the bodies. It's my birthday."

I saw all of their eyes widen and Mika smacked her forehead with her hand. "I can't believe we forgot! We must've lost track of time."

"Happy birthday Kurayami," Sonya said pulling out her tools for the next part of the job. "Think of this as our birthday present." Ronnie took out his leather gloves and waved me off, "You go back to the village. Leave this to us."

I nodded in thanks and transported to the village. I sighed and turned on my earpiece to contact Tsunade, "I'm done now. My teammates are finishing up. It's my birthday and I'm tired. For the love of god don't argue with me."

I heard her chuckle on the other line so I'm guessing she wasn't mad, "It's fine and good job."

I disconnected and headed home. When I arrived, I didn't notice the chakra signatures until I opened the door and heard people yell "surprise!"

Well isn't this awkward.

All of my friends were in my living room and stared at me wide-eyed since I was covered in blood. I took off my mask and eyed a certain boyfriend of mine who was closest to the door. "You prepared a party. How sweet."

He gulped a bit and eyed me carefully, "Are you okay?" I shrugged but saw the concern written all over his face. "I will be once I shower. These wounds are nothing, and most of the blood was from the filth that kept coming at me. There were way too many of them."

He nodded warily and stepped aside so I could go upstairs. Everyone was staring at me, which made me feel uncomfortable until Naruto yelled "Let's hear it for Kura! She protected our village once again and got the job done!" I couldn't help but smile a bit as everyone cheered for me because of that.

SASUKE'S POV

We waited downstairs for Yami as she got herself ready. Good news: she wasn't mad at me for setting all this up. Bad news: she looked a mess as she came in.

"Hey Sasuke, are you alright?" Shikamaru (surprisingly) came up to ask me. The obvious shock was written all over my face and I'm guessing he noticed because he sighed. "I know we're not exactly best friends man but we're at least cool. So what's wrong?"

"Yami looked a mess. I hope she's okay."

"I'm sure she is. From the looks of it she just had some cuts and scratches. Most of that blood definitely wasn't hers. Plus, do you really think someone as strong as her with the rest of her team couldn't handle a B rank mission?" he made a lot of sense, which made me feel a lot better. I then saw him turn his head and smirk as he said to me, "Oh yeah, she's just fine."

I turned around to see what he was talking about and my eyes widened at the sight. Yami came walking down the stairs in a light blue spaghetti strap top that stopped at her belly button (which was decorated in jewels by the way) and had silver designs on the front. She had a leather skirt that stopped mid thigh, fishnet stockings, and leather boots that went to her ankle. Her anbu tattoo was exposed on her right arm and was sparkling with glitter. Her hair was pulled back on one side held with a clip and the other side had a ribbon tied down a strand of her hair.

She looked so sexy right now.

"Please don't stare boys, I'm already taken," she said smirking as she noticed the entire male specimen in the room drooling at how she looked. Most of them had girlfriends (who were right there with them) that hit them upside their heads as I was free to stare at my girlfriend.

"Why are you dressed like that?" I asked trying to keep my cool.

"Oh please, I know club attire when I see it." I sweat dropped at this and did notice how everyone was dressed like they were going clubbing. The girls wore some kind of leather and the guys tried to look cool with their skinny jeans and sleeveless shirts. "Come on, let's go."

KURAYAMI'S POV

I had to admit, the place Sasuke set up for me was great. Apparently Kakashi found the perfect club we could rent out for the night that had an awesome DJ. I was currently dancing with my girl friends to Hit the Floor by Pitbull. The only guy I danced with was Sasuke because I'm pretty sure the other guys (except Naruto) would cheat on their girlfriends if they danced with me. I didn't say that to be conceited, but when I danced I'd get down and dirty. Maybe I had a little too much sex appeal.

When the song was over the DJ spoke up, "We had a request that the Killer Kunoichis perform for us tonight, so let's cheer them onto the stage!" I sighed as I knew everyone cheered for us to perform and walked up to the stage. The girls got their instruments ready and I felt myself change into my night form as I took the mic, "So it's my birthday and I'll sing if I want to," I said in a sing-song voice. Everyone laughed and cheered as I smiled to them. "Thank you so much for this birthday guys! Here's a little something for you."

We performed Miss Nothing by The Pretty Reckless and they wanted another song by the time we were done. When they wanted another song, however, I didn't think they'd want it to be with Sasuke.

"I don't think I've ever heard you sing before." He sighed at me since he was pushed on the stage by our friends, "I don't."

"I'm sure you aren't bad. You can even pick the song."

He thought for a moment and smiled as he told the girls what to play. They nodded and gave thumbs up to me when he whispered in my ear, "This one's for you." And I started blushing as we sang No Air by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. Everyone "awed" at the end and gave me my presents as the music continued to play. This is how it went:

Neji-charm bracelet
Tenten-kunai charm for the bracelet
Kiba-stuffed puppy
Tsunade-sent an astronomy book
Kakashi-sent a black t-shirt that says "you mess with me, I'll kick your ass!"
Hinata-heart charm for my charm bracelet that says "best friends"
Temari-fan charm
Shikamaru-cloud charm
Choji-bag of barbecue
Sasuke-a purple hair ribbon that had the Uchiha symbol on the ends

After awhile, I noticed it was midnight and as everyone went hope Sasuke decided to walk me hope and spend the night at my house.

*dream*

Shit. I really hate my life.

I was in the middle of a battlefield where I first fought that idiot Roya. I remember it was my first anbu mission and I had completed it quickly. Sadly, the effects of the mission still haunt me.

"Hello Kurayami. Long time no see," said a voice coming from behind me. I recognized it easily and glanced behind me. "I'm pretty sure it's a good thing we haven't seen each other Roya."

He chuckled and I could practically hear the smirk in his voice, "You know I couldn't help myself getting you here. You didn't think I forgot I had this power did you?"

I sighed in frustration. Honestly I myself forgot he had this power. During our last encounter, he did knock me out for some time and infused a jutsu on me where he could enter my dreams anytime he wanted. I also couldn't use any of my jutsu or powers while in this dream because he controlled it.

He formed hands signs and I braced myself as a lightning storm formed in the sky. I could feel his chakra build and my hair stood on end from the dry atmosphere. "Now let's play my dear."

I never want to be stuck by lightning again.

SASUKE'S POV

I felt a lot of movement next to me and woke up to see what it was. Yami was next to me breathing heavily, sweating, and tossing and turning. It looked like she was having a nightmare, so I attempted to wake her up by shaking her.

"Yami, you have to wake up."

She tried fighting me in her sleep and I had to hold her hands down. Shit, this wasn't good. "Yami, please you have to wake up!" Her eyes snapped open and she screamed right in my face.

Next thing I know, I'm flying into a wall.

KURAYAMI'S POV

I'm finally awake.

I think the dream only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough for Roya to enjoy torturing the hell outta me. I could still feel the static in my hair from the many lightning jutsus he used on me.

I turned as I heard groaning on the other side of the room and rushed to Sasuke's side, "What happened?"

"You tell me," he said letting me help him up. "It looked like you were having a nightmare so I tried to wake you up. When you finally did you screamed and the next thing I know I'm thrown into the wall."

My eyes widened at what he said and I felt so bad, "I'm sorry. My screams send sounds waves so the pressure threw you." He nodded and hugged me, which made me feel a lot better. "You looked really scared Yami. What was the nightmare about?"

I shook my head and buried my face in his chest, "Let's not talk about it." I felt him nod and he led me back to bed. Hopefully I'd actually sleep this time.

SASUKE'S POV

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair as I stared at Yami's sleeping form. She still looked a little panicked, so I kissed her cheek to assure her it was okay. I soon saw her features relax so I'm guessing she was fine now.

Looking around her room, I saw a file on the top of her desk. Curiosity filled my thoughts as I walked over to look at it. I opened it, and my eyes narrowed as I saw her mission assignment was about me.

So she only came back to protect me huh? Was this all about a stupid mission? I thought angrily. I turned to look at her sleeping form and my eye softened. No, she's not like that. This may have been a mission but her feelings for me are real. However…

I put the file down and wrote her a note. Putting it on her desk, I kissed her forehead one last time before I silently jumped out her window.

KURAYAMI'S POV

Life's a real freaking bitch.

I slammed my hand on Tsunade's desk as I waved Sasuke's note in her face. "Why didn't you fucking tell me he was prone to go to Orochimaru?"

She narrowed her eyes at me, "I thought it went away, and this is your fault for leaving that file out in the open." I dragged a hand down my face and shook my head. He didn't leave specifically because of the case file; he left because he didn't want me in danger. Orochimaru was technically the icing on the cake.

"Do I have permission to drag his sorry ass back?"

"You need to keep in touch with me while you do so Kurayami. You can take two others with you. I suggest Naruto so the Akatsuki can lose track of him and Hinata to keep him in line." I nodded and quickly grabbed everything I needed. I may care about Sasuke, but he was gonna be sorry the next time I see him.
