CLANK. CLACK. BANG.

Sword against sword, Sasuke and Satsuki clashed again and again. The two combatants jumped away from each other, creating distance between the two of them. Sasuke's abilities surprised Satsuki, never really expecting much out of him because of his fight with Takaharu. Satsuki couldn't help, but laugh at her own foolishness. Never judge a book by it's cover, and never underestimate an opponent.

"Is that Sasuke kid really holding his own against Lady Satsuki?" Ira Gamagoori exclaimed, shocked that there was someone out there who could keep up with Satsuki.
"Calm down, Gamagoori. There's no way that Satsuki would lose to anyone!" Nonnon Jakuzure assured him.
Houka Inumuta was busy writing down information about Sasuke(how he fights, his abilities, etc).
Uzu was quiet, examining Sasuke's style.

"I can't believe it, Sasuke." Satsuki commented. "Your abilities in combat are far greater than what I had expected."

The Mangekyou Sharingan, The Uchiha's bloodline technique, shone brightly, it's gaze boring through his opponent. Sasuke's bright, red eyes contained the determination he needed to win this fight. But something wasn't right...
It seemed like the Student Council President was becoming a little too cocky.
"You hiding something from me." Sasuke announced, calmly. By Satsuki's reaction, he could tell he guessed right.

"Am I? What makes you suspect me of hiding something from you, Sasuke?" Satsuki questioned.

"When we we're fighting, I noticed that your body was being limited, restricted, as if you were intentionally keeping your true power from me." Sasuke answered. "And just a moment ago, you got a little too cocky."

Satsuki was impressed by Sasuke's level of attention. He was able to see that she was restricting herself, and he was able to keep up with her somehow. So, he can see when I'm holding back. No use in hiding my true power.

"Since you are keeping your calm composure, I take it you were holding back as well?" Satsuki asked, knowing already that Sasuke had, indeed, been holding back as well.

"Of course. You really didn't think I would go all out from the start?" Honestly, no. This is my limit... I'll have to rely on my sharingan!

"Sasuke, how foolish it was of you to challenge me, Satsuki Kiryuin!" Satsuki roared, escaping Sasuke's sharingan and vanishing from sight.

Damn it! I lost her! How was she able to move so fast?! Sasuke searched the surrounding area for his opponent, unable to find anything except for a few pieces of debris. Little did Sasuke know, Satsuki had caught on to his trick.

Sasuke... Your eyes are very special. It seems that I will have to avoid your watchful eyes.

Sasuke was unable to find Satsuki anywhere. He had no idea where she was, nor any idea on how to find her. Did she run away? How would I know where she went?

"Next time, Sasuke, try not to reveal how your ability works." Sasuke heard from behind himself

Sasuke whipped around to see the voice's source, but barely was able to see the hilt of Bakuzan as it connected with his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. Sasuke fell to his hands and knees, gasping to recover the air lost from his lungs.

"H.. How is she able to avoid... my sharingan?"

He struggled to stand, his body having already received damage from earlier. He managed to get to his feet, focusing on defense rather than being able to attack. He couldn't see Satsuki anymore, so what was the point of fighting back at the moment?

"Just give up, Sasuke...We both know that this won't end well for you..." Sasuke heard from his right. It was too late to turn around, as Bakuzan's hilt was slammed into his rib-cage. Sasuke cried out in agonizing pain, as Satsuki repeatedly attacked him from all sides.

Satsuki stopped her assualt on the boy, allowing him to fall to the ground. Now heavily wounded(and panting), Sasuke lied where he fell, unable to continue.

"You really are pathetic... What happened to your 'hidden abilities', Sasuke?" Satsuki asked mockingly.

She placed her boot on top of Sasuke's chest.
"Well, I can't say that it was fun." she said. "But I would like to thank you for helping me test out Junketsu."

Satsuki sauntered of, away from Sasuke. His sharingan faded, slowly dying into his original black eye color.
He could feel himself slipping into a darkness. He could feel his own life-force fading.

"I guess...I really am pathetic?" Sasuke said, swallowed by the darkness.

It's over.


I can't believe it's over, everything's going to end like this.
He was going to die here, on his second day of attending the academy. Everything he's lived for, destroyed by Satsuki Kiryuin- no, a Kamui.

"Sasuke!"


Sasuke snapped out of his trance, realizing that he wasn't dead. He saw Mako above himself, crying, tears overflowing. She hadn't realized that Sasuke woken up, and assumed that her friend had passed on.

"Ma...ko?" Sasuke made out, his body aching from the injuries he had suffered. He had a headache as well, making it even harder to think.
Mako gasped, realizing that Sasuke had woken up, meaning that he was alive! Even more tears poured down her cheeks, as she practically jumped onto him.

Mako held him in a tight embrace. Sasuke said and did nothing, remembering the events that lead to this. He shot up, now sitting.
"Mako, where's Ryuko?" Sasuke asked her, making the extremely accurate assumption of Mako always being with Ryuko.

"Ryuko?!" Mako blinked. "Oh! Well, when Ryuko had seen you in your current state, she transformed and challenged lady Satsuki to a fight!" Mako pointed to their battlefield.

It was true, Ryuko was currently fighting Satsuki, without very many problems. By the looks of it, the two were using their full power, and Ryuko was able to keep up with Satsuki. Their speed was so unreal. Sasuke's sharingan had a hard time following the battle.

Ryuko... How is she able to do what I couldn't? How are they so strong, yet so fast?

It was at this moment, Sasuke snapped. He didn't care anymore. Ryuko was always able to best him, to surpass him all the time. It happened when he fought Takaharu, and it's happening again now. He realized now that Ryuko was better than him. Ryuko will always be able to best him, and it's all because of-

"Oh, Sasuke. You've fought many foes, stronger than these two. You've fought in, and won a war. Are you telling me that you're losing to an outfit? I guess I'll have to help you this one time."


RYUKO

Why does she able to do what I can't?

Why is she always able to surpass me?

Why am I so weak?

Questions similar to these ran through Sasuke's mind, all concerning Ryuko's ability to finish what HE started. This unnatural strength given by clothes. Everyone here, they are NOTHING without their "Goku Uniforms."

Everyone here, is just a normal, weaker, lesser being!


Th n.

Sasuke's screams interrupted the fight between Ryuko and Satsuki. Ryuko, genuinely concerned, and Satsuki, waiting for the pained cries to stop so that she could focus.

Mako, startled, rushed to Sasuke's side. "Are you-"

Sasuke held out his palm, not allowing her any closure.

"Mako... St..Stay back!" Sasuke shouted through his cries of agony. He knew what this was, and he has felt this pain many times before. He knew that once this was over, he wouldn't have a lot of control over himself. He didn't want Mako to get hurt...by him or anyone else. "Please, Mako...get away from me!"

Mako backed away from him, worried about his current state.
The burning sensation grew stronger, but it no longer bothered Sasuke. He had lost all sense of feeling, and he could feel his mind fading away, replaced with power.

"Yes, my dear Sasuke...It seems that you have given in to the power of the Mark once again."

Sasuke removed his hand covering the Mark. Mako was able to see a burning red mark on his neck where Sasuke was covering it. It began to spread, making Mako jump. It was very odd and extremely weird for a "tattoo" to spread like that.

The markings soon stopped crawling around half of his body, fading to black.

"What was that all about?" Ryuko thought out-loud.
"Yes...I wonder what that was for." Satsuki replied to Ryuko's out-loud thought.
"Hey! I was talking to myself! Don't-"
"Quiet! He's coming our way."

Sasuke began walking towards the two, staring them both down. His Mangekyou Sharingan reawakened. He looked broken, withered. The look on his face was a bit crazed. He looked as if his entire mind had shattered.

"Sasuke, what happened to you?" Ryuko asked, referring to the markings etched along his skin.

"What happened...to me?" Sasuke repeated, his mind beginning to be taken over by the power rushing through-out his body. A small smirk began to appear. "I have been reborn, consumed by darkness!"

"What are you talking about, Sasuke?" Ryuko shouted, worrying over Sasuke's bodily state.

"I think I may have hit him too hard." Satsuki commented.

"I am no longer the Sasuke you thought you knew." Sasuke answered. "As I've said, I have been reborn. My quest for power... begins now!"

Ox. Rabbit. Monkey.

Sasuke brought his right arm down, holding his wrist with his left hand. Lightning charged, consuming his hand in it.

"What? How is he able to control lightning?!" Satsuki gasped, amazed at Sasuke's technique.

"Whoa, Sasuke! You never told me you could do that!" Ryuko looked on, truly amazed.

"Finally, something that you CAN'T do!" Sasuke laughed. As the lightning charged in his palm, he noticed Satsuki's reaction. Fear.

"Oh, it seems that you have an idea of what this is, my dear Satsuki. Don't worry, I don't plan to kill you... yet." He smirked, drawing his sword. "This technique, I call it Chidori. But, when I mix it with the Sword of Kusanagi..." Sasuke's katana was revealed, covered in lightning. Satsuki slowly backed away, for the first time in her life, she was truly experiencing fear.

Fear, something Satsuki was not familiar with, nor was she very fond of.

"...I call it, Chidori Blade!" Sasuke finished.


Sasuke has been driven past the edge. It looks like he was so unstable, even Orochimaru could make his way in to Sasuke's mind. The curse mark has reawakened, and Sasuke has no control over his actions.

Wow, I can't believe I did this this early.

I wasn't planning on giving Sasuke his curse mark this early(this is CHAPTER 3), but since Sasuke is in a world where Kamui and Goku Uniforms increase everyone's strength higher than a top ninja's, I was thinking that Sasuke could snap and lose his mind when Sasuke loses to Satsuki, but also loses to Ryuko constantly. I took kind of a Goku and Vegeta approach with this chapter(Ryuko being Goku and Sasuke being Vegeta). It looks like this will be a 3 Chapter long arc(this is seriously just episode 3 extended by more than one chapter.)

I could always use a beta reader to help me correct errors and help make the chapters better(HELP ME, ONE MAN CAN ONLY DO SOOO MUCH)


OH YEAH, btw school started, so it will take me a while to get chapters out.
