Chapter ten

"I refuse."

"But Sasuke-kun!" Sakura whined and I sighed. Well, seems I changed something else in this timeline. Naruto and I had decided it was more fun to dive bomb off of the trees which caused our rivalry to spark, who could go higher and dive off of the highest branch or who could do more flips within the given amount of height... Needless to say, we actually finished the tree climbing exercise earlier than we should have and Kakashi had said we could help Sakura (yeah, she definitely needs lots of help, poor girl) guard...

'Dammit, what was his name again?'

"Sasuke, this is a mission and you've finished the training I've given you." Kakashi stated rather sternly as we sat around the dinner table, Inari (DEMON CHILD!) was rather quiet as Tsubaki was by the sink... Does that woman ever not wash something up in that sink? And Tazuna was sitting and listening.

"Yeah Teme, what's gotten into you?" Naruto questioned.

Okay so maybe I've skipped over a few days but seriously, do you want to hear about eating, sleeping, shitting, training, showering etcetera and such for like five chapters? NO! So deal with it, nothing happened but what I've already explained.

Okay so I was being a bit of an ass to my team but so what?! Naruto needs to train to exhaustion so he can be late on that fatal day and save Tsubaki and the demon child and then show up late to save my sorry ass, I don't want to die yet! Oh yeah, I've done a lot of thinking about what I'm doing here in this world and well... You'll just have to wait and see what I've decided to try and change and such.

"I just..."

Dammit, Sasuke doesn't hesitate and look away!

"I want to learn to walk on water." I stated. Hah! Kakashi looked surprised at my statement but now that I think about it, it would be a smart move... I'll figure out something else when I get to the point where Naruto trains with Ebisu and Jiraiya... Fuck it, too much to think about right now.

"Walk on water?" Sakura questioned and Oh my God Sakura, do you have to repeat everything I say but my actual stupid name?! Wow, I am rather irate today aren't I?

"Think about it Kakashi... They're fucking mist nin and we saw what they did to you when you fell into that water, you'd be put in the same position if one of us get caught and we know by now it would take a miracle for you to beat him right now plus that hunter nin." I said and I barely held back a smile of amusement at his hurt and angered look in his eye at that statement, wow, maybe I've pissed him off?

"That sounds really cool Sensei!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, curling his body up on his chair as if he could barely contain his glee.

"Sasuke-kun has a point..." Sakura said, a little unsure as we all stared at Kakashi.

"Sasuke, can I speak to you in private." Kakashi asked... Oh shit... I swallowed but Kakashi didn't wait for an answer as he was already standing up and both Sakura and Naruto looked at me in sympathy... Thanks Guys, where's the team spirit here?! I got up and followed, not as if I had a choice anyway, Kakashi was already walking around on his own without the crutches and if I timed this all right then in two days Zabuza and Haku will show up at the bridge.

"It's okay to be afraid and feel unprepared Sasuke." Kakashi spoke as we got to the dock outside and had turned to me.

"The fuck! I'm not scared Kakashi!" I said angrily, holding up a fist in a slight defensive pose and Kakashi chuckled with an eye smile and sat down, dangling his legs over the side of the dock and motioned for me to sit down... Again, I guess I didn't have a choice.

"You've completely changed Sasuke..."

"Yeah well anyone would when they watch their entire clan get killed by your own loving brother." I said sulkily as we stared out across the moonlit ocean.

"That's not what I meant." Kakashi said sternly as he looked down at me but I continued to stare out across the ocean. "Every file I've ever read about you and everyone I've ever spoken to said your whole personality had changed since you became a genin."

"I keep having dreams."

Shit, what the hell did I just say?! Why the hell did I say something stupid like that? Oh... I was thinking of the child again, like Inari, that says he can see dead people... What an inappropriate thought just like banana cream pies... Mmm...

"Sasuke?" Kakashi called and I looked up at him... Oh shit, was he speaking to me?! "You seemed to daze out there for a second."

"I was just thinking about something." I said and Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"I asked what kind of dreams?" Kakashi asked, dammit, why was he such a nice person sometimes?

"I see things..." No, not cliché at all... "I've been trying not to change too much but I can't..." Which is true...

"Like a sort of future vision?" Kakashi asked and I nodded, it wasn't unheard of right? I mean come on, the sharingan can do some weird things and Kakashi wouldn't know better anyway, not right now at least. "What have you seen?"

"In two days time..." Still not cliché but screw it, I've dug this hole too deep right now. "There will be a banana cream pie..."

"Sasuke." Kakashi warned threateningly and I couldn't help a smile, both amusement and stress I guess but it's always there! WTF is wrong with me and banana cream pie today?!

"Two days time, you, myself and Sakura will face Zabuza and the hunter nin."

"And Naruto? Where was he?" Kakashi asked, I can't believe he's buying this.

"Back at Tazuna's place. He overslept because we had been training the day before and only then did we finish climbing a tree. But coincidently he saves Tsunami and Inari." I explained.

"So you put sleeping powder in his food." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"Kakashi!" He just chuckled and it made me smile and look back over the ocean. "But things need to happen this way Kakashi... We'll be fine, they just need to happen this way."

"I'm going to trust you on this Sasuke." Kakashi said after a while as we both stared out over the ocean. "But if this doesn't go well, I'm not going to give you this opportunity again, I know how you Uchiha can be especially with your dojutsus."

"Who are you and what have you done with Hatake Kakashi?" I asked playfully with a smirk and Kakashi just eye smiled at me. "Thanks Kakashi, this means a lot." I added sappily, dammit... How can you be this much of an ass and be this cool at the same time? Now I understand why Gai calls him the things he does. He sat with me for a while longer while I just reaffirmed my new lie in my head before Kakashi began to get up and I turned slightly, I didn't want him to go just yet... Why does this sound like some cheesy fanfic?

"Kakashi..." I called and he stopped, turning around slightly to look back at me. "Don't tell anyone about this, and I mean anyone, not even Hokage-sama." I asked and Kakashi nodded and weighed the seriousness in my eyes, man the man can make you uncomfortable with just a stare from his one eye! "And I wanted to know..." A huge question I've wanted to know from the start.

"Aren't you inquisitive tonight?" Kakashi deadpanned, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Did the Hokage and the council order you to take a special interest in me and my skills? Is it because of Naruto?" I asked and Kakashi's whole posture stiffened but it confirmed everything for me, even the muscles in his jaw were flexing under his mask and I closed my eyes with a sigh and looked back at the ocean.

"What do you know of Naruto?"

"More than anyone else cares to know." I said almost angrily. "Just because you or even the Hokage think we're alike doesn't mean shit. Opposites attract better, you'd waste your time with me, only you could train Naruto in the best way possible."

"I can't do that." Kakashi said behind me and I nodded.

"I know... But you're a great ninja, you'll figure something out." I said, good, maybe that's planted some sort of seed in Kakashi's mind.

"You should get some rest, tomorrow I'm going to show you the basics of water walking." Kakashi said as he left and I smiled slightly. I'm sure things will be okay...

XXXXXXXXXX

I Lied! I LIED!

It hurts! It burns!

Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself here. Basically what happened, since I really don't have time to explain this shit... I went to bed, we began water walking training, Sakura did awesomely, I failed and so did Naruto, Kakashi put sleeping powder into Naruto's food, he overslept (probably still sleeping) and now we're at the bridge...

Workers down, dramatic scene with Tazuna asking one of the hurt workers what happened, mist, Zabuza and Haku, I shook like a Chihuahua, okay, I was pretty excited, adrenaline and such I just wish it would come back right now! I took out Zabuza's water clones (insert cannon fighting here).

So now I'm basically in Haku's ice mirror dome thingy and getting pelted by razor sharp needles sticking in places it has no place being! That just didn't make sense... Well at least things were going to plan, I just have to keep trying to escape until...

"Uzumaki Naruto has finally arrived!"

"Dobe, what's with that stupid stance?"

"Shut up teme! You're the one getting your ass kicked!" I smiled slightly at that one as I pushed myself up from the floor carefully, it's always surprisingly scary when you see blood dripping from you and onto the floor, it's even worse when it's warm and dripping down your skin, from your SOUL!

Overdramatic much?

"Now that I'm here, everything will be fine! The main character of a story usually shows up in these types of situations and instantly kicks the enemy's ass!" Naruto declared. Zabuza threw kunai at him which Haku blocked and asked Zabuza to let him take care of us... So thoughtful...

"Gee, aren't you so thoughtful." I deadpanned, taking some of the needles out of my skin... Bad idea! It burns! Dammit, I have tears in my eyes now...

"Hey, I came to save you!" Naruto said, crouching right next to me happily and I rolled my eyes.

"You know Naruto... Maybe it would have been better if you stayed outside..."

"I'm not some dog!"

"I didn't call you a dog dobe!"

"Teme!"

"Is there something going on here?" Haku asked, rather confused at the situation as Naruto and I broke out of our heated argument and looked at the hunter nin.

"No, dammit, stop fan girling! Damn you all." I growled before I shook my head to get back into the game. "Look Naruto, he's got incredible speed, I can't melt the ice right now and he's got some twisted idea with senbons and cutting people to ribbons without killing them... Yet."

"No wonder you look all roughed up." Naruto said and I looked away with annoyance.

Raining blood!

Dammit, getting rained down upon by needles is not fun, thank God I'm not some weird haemophobe or I'd probably have passed out by now. Is it healthy to lose this amount of blood ugh... wait, my head says it's not... Dizzy and headache and sore and damn, the life of a ninja sucks...

'... uke... Hey Sasuke are you okay!?" Naruto was shaking me by the shoulders now and picking me up and damn, how much super human strength does this midget have? "I'm going to get us out of here... Shadow clone jutsu!"

"Naruto do..." Oh never mind, it's not like he'll listen to me anyway, just try to watch Haku's movements and maybe we'll get out of here, I don't want to die just yet but I couldn't exactly move right now, at least not fast enough to try and escape as well as dodge the senbons slowly and inadvertently killing me through blood loss. Senbon rained down on us again as I weakly tried to protect myself and Naruto landed rather hard on the floor next to me as we both cried out...

Why did I just think of a sick 'your mama' joke right now?

"This jutsu uses the mirror's reflection to transport me. From my point of view you seem to be moving in slow motion." Haku explained as Naruto and I sat up... Maybe I really am going to die here?

"Dammit Sasuke, don't go passing out on me right now Teme!" Damn, I almost really did pass out, everything was fading in and out of focus... Until Naruto slapped me.

"Dammit, what was that for?!" I yelled at him, holding my stinging red cheek, damn my hands are cold.

"We can't die here! We've got dreams to achieve, even though I don't know yours. We can do this Sasuke, believe it." Naruto said, shaking my shoulders slightly and staring at me determinedly and I blinked... Wow... Is this compassion for comrades?

Nah!

"Becoming a true shinobi is difficult for me..." Oh God, here we go, Haku back story. "If possible, I don't want to have to kill you nor want you to have to kill me. But if you come at me..." 'Come at me bro!' Again, inappropriate thought. "I can destroy my kind heart with a blade and become a true shinobi. This bridge is a place where we fight to defend our dreams."

I wish I didn't have to follow through with my plan. Haku should have a better dream than just fighting as a tool for Zabuza... I just had to keep thinking that things will turn out better in the end, end his heartache and Zabuza's... This is a life of a shinobi and I have been given this opportunity to make something good out of a dark future this world will be facing... I can do this, I'm sure I'll pass out soon...

"Me, for my dream and for your dreams. Please don't hate me. I want to protect someone precious to me. To work for that person. To fight for that person. To make that person's dream come true. That is my dream. For that, I can become a shinobi, I can kill you."

"Let's go Naruto." I said with a smile and Naruto smiled too with a head nod. I'm feeling a little better now, a little more ramped up... Haku was right, I've got a dream, to save these people from the heartache they've already faced in this forsaken world... I have to survive!

"Hey Sasuke, all we're doing is running around." Naruto pointed out and I rolled my eyes as I took a kunai out of my pouch, I can't lose much more blood, Naruto will be fine if his attacks continue like this but I'm not completely superhuman like he is.

"Keep watching him and find a weakness, he's already slowed slightly..." I said but Haku raised his needles and got ready to attack again... Sakura's scream threw me off as the needles rained down on us, I blocked a small fraction as my mind was startled by the scream but even so... I could feel something... I saw more than I have so far and I think maybe I even blocked Naruto a few times as more senbon raised down...

I was focused now... Haku was my target now, Kakashi and Sakura will be fine, I know that for certain and Naruto was reading my movements as I read Haku's

"I see, you're also from a Kekkei genkai." Haku said and I blinked... No way, how the hell? I didn't even feel it... Oh wait... I do, my chakra is falling rapidly, not that I've used much of it but I've used enough dodging his attacks and my stamina had slowed down. "Then I can't fight you for much longer, my jutsu takes up a lot of chakra and there's a limit on how long I can keep using it and I can keep up this speed."

"Stop explaining your jutsus to me you idiot." I growled, I got grouchy when I'm tired okay?!

'Shit Naruto!' Haku was already going for him... Can I make it this time like before?!

"I'm sorry Naruto..."

"Sasuke... Why... Why dammit! I never asked for your help!

A/N: :O Cliff hanger! Sorry if it was lacking humor slightly, it just wouldn't come to me but there can't be too much for this chapter I guess, things will turn around though in the next chapter and I hope you enjoyed it, let me know what you thought:)
