{ Pain, for what Reason is it called that? }
' Sasuke was about to kill Karin, but Sakura stopped him. ' Demon had a clone of himself following the group. He watched and realized Baylon had felt all the pain.
He left his spot on the tree and said, " Were taking her to Sasuke. He'll have to help once he realizes what he's done to her. "
Julianna nodded and Heru took Baylon on his back and they were off.
~ Once they arrive ~
Baylon was placed on her feet when they arrived at where Sasuke and Sakura were, talking, well it seemed like that, until Baylon stopped them.
Sakura stopped at the sight of the whitette, her eyes glared daggers as Sasuke looked at Baylon with a passion she wished she could be looked at by him. Baylon glanced and even Sakura had a cold chill run down her spine. Baylon's eyes had become a dark blue and violet color. Her face was showing the look of something not from here. Sasuke was glancing between the two.
Baylon collapsed on her knees. All it took was one look from Sasuke to calm Baylon mostly, but she realized it was like Kushina and Minato. She needed love to fill her, instead of the hatred that Souji held. He hadn't once said he loved her, and she was always saying it.
She finally opened her eyes again, this time they were all violet. He saw that she was laughing and her face was becoming more evil and scary. Sasuke ran to Baylon, but 'she' shoved him and went to land on him. She pulled him up and looked him in the eyes, " You think I'm going to let you live, after shattering a heart, that was never complete, " She said, the voice was overbearing and not her's. It was darker, or seemed. Her eyes flashed a navy blue and gold.
{ Her internal Battle } ( It will be in these ' text ' )
' Baylon looked through the eyes of the monster she became, she felt weak, and her eyes were the white they had been since she was 6. She had been blind, til Souji granted her vision. She watched as Sasuke was looking at her in fear, she felt her skin want to crawl at what she had said. She was never so cold, so in pain.
She felt her mind go reeling in the way he looks at her, the way his touch made her feel.
" Souji, is what I see, what I feel? " She asked, her voice the weak and sweet thing it always was.
He looked at her, from the chains he was in, well the chains that were connected to his body. He was watching her, carefully, " Well, yes and no, I can make you feel what I want, the pain you feel is my internal conflict to love you, and to love Chizuru. And his touch does make you weak, makes you feel alive again. Even if your dead on the inside, " He said, making his point to hit the chains against her back, she went forward.
Blood was always a fear, bigger than any other for her. Her eyes held the tears she didn't want shed.
Souji looked at her and said, " How about my chains thrown away at your back? See if you can carry the weight and burden? Hmm? How does that sound? " He looked at her bleeding back. He wanted to hear her pained and fear filled screams.
She looked up, and saw Sasuke. Her eyes widen as she read his lips, well tried to, His lips moved fast, and she couldn't keep up, " Souji, please let me hear his words. Please- AH! " She screamed, her body going forward as he hit her once again with his chains.
Blood was rushing, it was coming out of her, so fast and crimson. He wanted the taste, the look and the feel. " Sa-sa-sasu-ke... " she uttered, the name left her body as low as she could. She felt blood coming from her lips.
A sweet whisper entered her and she lurched forward, " Bay-Baylon? " She heard Sasuke's voice say. She looked up, and saw it. He had thrown her off, and stepped up to finish his fight with Sakura.
" Souji, what did he say, what did the man say!? " She all but screamed, he looked at her and smirked, an evil smirk.
" He said, ' I love you, but not like this ' Of course, how could anyone love you though. He's taking the red and pink haired girls with him, see? " He said, and pointed.
She watched and waited. Her eyes flickered and she felt her body go slack. '
{ End the battle of the Body }
Sasuke had looked at her eyes, seeing the look that her eyes were distant, he waited for her eyes to focus, " Bay-Baylon? ", and when they did he said, " I love you, and always will, " Souji had tricked Baylon into fearing the worst, her life ending before it actually began.
He watched as tears of sadness fall, he assumed she was joyous, but she wasn't. She was being tormented by her inner most evil.
Her eyes didn't stop tearing up, or even stop spilling the tears that she wanted to so badly choke back.
Sakura watched, and waited til, he leaned down and kissed her full on the lips, making himself feel better that she was here.
When she didn't respond, he waited for her to say something, but she didn't. Her eyes were glazing over in white, and making her have the eyes he knew. He gently pushed her to the side to lie down on the ground, gently.
He went and felt her heart was slowly beating and she wasn't responding. He was worried more then he should for.
He was worried about her, he was wanting to save her, but not sure on how. " Sakura, help... she needs help...please Sakura..." He pleaded.
Souji, on the inside, was enjoying the agony she felt, her heart was slowing, just to the thump his heart had been at, since the he was sealed, he loved that Chizuru did it for him, but he was angered she had left his love, acting as if he died. She fell in love with another man, and became more then what was expected of her.
Sakura looked at him, hurt by what she just witnessed, Sasuke pleading to bring this, heal this, what was she again, ah yes, monster, in Sakura's eyes, back from her state of utter death. Sakura would flat out refuse her, Baylon had refused to be any help with missions, crudely explained things to them, and had been to touchy-flirty with Kakashi for her liking. But that wasn't all, Baylon had stolen, taken, Sasuke's heart from her. Why help what was going to parish any ways.
" No, I won't. If she's hurt, she can fix herself, Tsundae even said so herself. " She said. matter-of-factly.
Sasuke looked at her, glared, and then stood, " I should kill you, but the woman I love is harmed and in pain, she did something that only she can do, she took in something she knew would kill her, and here you are gripping about me not liking you, you think I'm blind, I realize you have feelings for me, but this girl, this woman, she has had my heart since I met her, long before I met you. She was something you could never be. Now help before she dies, she's being killed from the inside out " He said, his voice was the calm and ever eerie thing it was, but it held worry, and some emotion she had never heard before with his voice.
Baylon moved and stood, " She is nothing like you think," Sakura said.
Baylon stepped up to Sasuke, " I heard what you said, and I can forgive you for not wanting me in this state, but please by all means, I'm a dead woman anyway. Why help what's going to die, especially a incurable disease. I'm riddled from my bones to my blood, you shouldn't love me, " She said, hoping that he would just let her die, and be at peace with it.
Sasuke turned, went to help her stand, and she leaned on him, but kept her face smiling, the smile that held care-free happiness it had in their younger years, " Just go, take them with you, " She said, her voice wasn't strained, but it held something that he could only say was fear, and he didn't want her sound like that, " Just do what your heart says, go be with her. I wouldn't want you to bother. " She looked at him, her eyes showing all she felt; anger, sadness, and longing.
Sakura looked at Baylon as if the world was ending, and she was the cause of it, " How can you say a thing like that, he was proclaiming his love for you, and here you are saying its fine that he should love another instead of yourself. Why is it you contradict what your told? He loves you, You love him? Is it not that simple to you? " She asked, in shock.
" No, Sakura. Love is not as simple as you assume. For me, its the worst thing to feel, its hard to explain, but I'll try. I'm supposed to be the cold and distant assassin that doesn't feel. Its not becoming of me, besides the of two you are better suited for him, over myself. Love is something not to be played with and you should see that. Even if I love him, its not that easy to be with him. I love him dearly, yes. But its not an easy road to love someone so hated and disliked amongst our village. " She said, she hobbled away from Sasuke and went to lean on a standing concrete post. Her body shook, and her mind was being attacked again.
Sasuke and Sakura looked at her, shock written all over their faces. Sasuke went to Baylon and asked, " Why, you felt the love I have for you, I know you did? Why?"
Sakura glanced at them, " Fine, I'll help her. " She walked over and to them, she stuck her hand out and a green glow came from it, she placed her hand on Baylon's chest, working her way to the head. Trying to figure where the pain came from, but she felt a mass of darkness and held her hand there for a moment. Baylon let her do what she wanted, falling against Sasuke.
Sasuke felt Baylon leaning on him, and held her up. All and all, he was happy, but sad she wanted to go and leave him alone, he wanted her here, and he wouldn't want her to die. He had already lost to many to his family's curse. He didn't want to lose the one thing he had left, seeing as she was the only thing he had left, close enough to him to be considered family.
" After this, to come with me Sakura, you must kill Karin, you could replace her as a medical ninja, " He says, she jumps, and steps back. Healing will take to long.
She goes over to Karin and hold the kunai, ready to kill Sasuke, and stop him from doing further damage.
Sasuke steps up behind her and Baylon says, blood flowing from her lips, " Stop Sasuke... " and Kakashi stops Sasuke's chidori form killing Sakura. Karin and Sakura look to Kakashi and then to Baylon.
" Sakura, get them away, and heal the red head til she can speak, she has intel about the enemy. And do your best healing little snow white, she has info we need as well. " Kakashi says, he nods to Baylon, who's standing, but barely making it.
Sakura does as told, and goes off and lays Karin down to heal her, and he cries over her, and Karin internally hates it. Baylon sits on the rock, watching as Sasuke goes a little bat-shit crazy about trying to kill Kakashi. She sets about healing herself and sees that its barely helping.
After she heals Karin, Sakura once again attempts to kill Sasuke with a kunai, but Sasuke turns the tables on her as she hesitates. Before Sasuke can kill Sakura with her own kunai, she is rescued once again — this time by Naruto.
Baylon watches and realizes that Sasuke is beginning to become more cynical.
" Naruto, he's not the same, even if he shows his emotions even a bit, he's colder. More cynical, " She says, her eyes lingering in his form.
After Sasuke attempts to stab Sakura, Naruto arrives just in time to save her, taking a small scratch on the cheek in the process.
Naruto informs Sasuke he has learned the truth about Itachi from Tobi, and wants to save him from his path of revenge.
Sasuke cynically rejects Naruto's offer by announcing that he killed Danzō, and then proclaims his plans on destroying Konoha.
Despite Kakashi's attempts, Naruto and Sasuke then clash with their Rasengan and Chidori.
After they clash, Naruto remembers a time when even he thought of revenge against Konoha, and of how he eventually overcame it — by making bonds with Sasuke and Iruka Umino.
Baylon watched and waited. She was going to have to do something about this. She was having trouble keeping conscious, her mind was hazing over and she felt the effects of Souji's internal beating.
As Team Kakashi's encounter with Sasuke concludes, Naruto declares that when he and Sasuke fight they will both end up dying.
A clone of Zetsu appears on the battlefield to help Sasuke, and alerts the real one who subsequently notifies Tobi of the situation.
Tobi arrives, Kakashi attempts to take him out once and for all with Kamui, however Tobi tells him that a technique like that would have no effect on him
~ With Sasuke ~
When Sasuke and Tobi return to their base, Sasuke tells Tobi that he wants to transplant Itachi's eyes in order to crush Naruto with his full potential.
~ With Baylon ~
Meanwhile, at the Samurai Bridge, Naruto passes out due to the effects of the scratch from Sakura's poisoned kunai, and Kakashi takes Karin into custody. Baylon helped with carrying her and took her with them.
" Pain, for what reason are you called that? " She asked as quietly as she could.
