The Plan Unfoiled: Into The Retreat ! Chapter 2



It was that time again. All the leaves turn marvelous colors and the wind starts to chill. Normally I'm happy, but not this year. The wind had picked up speed and I blew into my hands a little just to calm myself down. How could he do this ? I questioning myself every time I pass his house. I can't image how Sakura must feel to lose someone she cared about, enough to die for him. I could never forget that day. At the waterfall in the Valley of the End. I understand now why this had to happen. But what I didn't understand was why me? Why us?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Utsukushii had just told me Sasuke's whereabouts. I can't believe that all of the information I've wanted to know for so long came through my mind like a jolt of electricity. I was so exicited ! I mean, all those questions Sakura and I have asked ourselves were all answered. Now I can tell Sakura where I'm going and get Sasuke back. Utsukushii told me something I didn't want to hear: "You cannot tell anyone else about this." I can't belive this! "Now come on. We have to get you disguised. Now come this way." ~~~~ Minutes later, I had dark brown hair, and a snake-like tatto on my shoulder.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" I questioned. Utsukushii looked stunned.
"Of course it's going to work!! Listen the guards Orochimaru hired aren't the brightest people around. If you're careful, you could get to Sasuke's room in the retreat. Even though they are dunces, don't underestimate them." It was 3:00 in the morning, and I could hear voices, to be exact, they were Kakashi-sensei's and Sakura's. They seemed very worried, too. "Quick Naruto ! Get outta here!!" Before I ran into the fog, I yelled back, "Thanks Utsukushii !!"

As I ran through fields and trying my best not to trip, I couldn't stop thinking that I was going to bring back Sasuke for Sakura. I still felt a little bad, not being able to tell them that what we have all been wanting to hear for so long, but I guess this is the way it had to be. It felt like I was running for hours and I was starting to get tired and was running out of breath. After 15 minutes of running continuously, it started to rain. "Well, I might as well walk for a little while I'm not getting there anytime soon." Naruto clasped his hands and blew into them for a little heat. Who knew that it could be this cold? I kept traveling down the fog-densed area and nothing seemed to materialize before me. That was the bad part. It was 4:15. I could feel my body responding to the cold because I couldn't stop shaking. It got onto my nerves after awhile.
It seemed as if I'd never stop walking across the field. What startled me the most was the footsteps I heard coming towards me. The more I sped up, the faster and closer the footsteps seemed.Soon I was running again, voices calling behind me. Without noticing, I had tripped over a giant tree trunk. I covered my head, hoping that whoever was following me would leave me alone. I didn't expect the voice to sound so familiar when it said, "So far away from the Retreat aren't you, Tylus?" I blinked and looked at the small, round man hovering over me. " Don't act like you don't know what's going on. It's our round to watch Sasuke Uchiha's room tonight." My eyes widened at the news. It was as if everything was falling into place.
" Uhhh, thanks. I was just taking a little walk. YEAH that's it a little walk." I tried to sound as convincing as I possibly could. The man stared at me, suspision in his eyes.
"What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick or something Tylus?" I realized that if I didn't come up with a good excuse and fast, I would be in BIG trouble.
" Nah, I think it's just because of me giving orders all day. Nothing to worry about." The man nodded and I sighed. That was too close for comfort. I've gotta be more careful! We walked in silence all the way down a dirt coated trail. A castle-like building materialized in front of us. The air was filled with smoke along with hundreds of people circling the grounds. In due time, there was a gate blocking entrance in to the building. A slim, tall man approached us.
"Names?" he asked.
"Tylus and Ylansi. We are guiding Master Uchiha's room tonight." Ylansi stood firm. The man gazed at the clipboard, at us, then at the clipboard again. He signal at a tower about 150 ft above us and the gate opened slowly.
"Confirmed. Lord Orochimaru would like a word with you before you stand guard." The tall, slim man turned and walked with no further words.Ylansi sighed.
"Man. What does Orochimaru want this time? Everytime we go to stand guard, he always gives us 'the speech'. It gets on a person's nerves after 2 1/2 years. Anyway, this is the last time anyone will be guarding Sasuke's room. Seeming tomorrow marks 3 years." Ylansi and I walked down corridors that twisted and turned. The whole time I kept thinking about what he had said. 'This is the last time anyone will be guarding Sasuke's room. Seeming tomorrow marks 3 years.' 3 years. The day which Orochimaru has to transfer into Sasuke's body. It felt as if I had to cry, but the tears weren't flowing. All of a sudden, visions of Sakura came to me. Sakura-chan. I have to try to stop this... Tonight. For you.
" Dude! " Ylansi yelled. I soon snapped back into reality. I looked around dumbfounded.
"I thought we had to go see Orochimaru." Ylansi gave me a look that stated he thought I was retarted.
"We just came back from Orochimaru, you dumbass." He rolled his eyes and sat down in the chair behind him.
The night didn't seem to end. The plump guard had fallen asleep, me to wrapped up in my thoughts to even consider resting. What happens if I can't get to him tonight? I sighed deeply.
"Naruto, your hopless." I said to myself. Apparently someone had heard because I could hear small footsteps coming from behind me. It was Sasuke. He looked around and noticed the plump guard asleep at his post. I got butterflies in my stomache when he looked at me. The piercing onyx eyesstwyed focused on me for the longest time. It felt as if he was searching me. Why is Sasuke staring at me? Does he know that I'm Naruto and not the Tylus guy.Why won't he say anything? Then again, I'm not sure if he DID ask me something, that I could reply.
"That guard is very careless. Sleeping at his post. How irresponsible." Sasuke nodded in dismay. There were sooo many thoughts running across my mind at that point, I wanted to stand up and tell him we wanted him back, but then I would be beaten to a pulp (or worse). I shuddered.
"I need to ask you something, guard," Sasuke started. I signaled that I was ready for his question, though I wasn't completely sure if I was or not. "Have you ever hated someone to the extent in where you want to kill them? Have you missed the people in your lives that it .... *sigh* Nevermind." Sasuke turned as if to go back into his room.
"Yes." I said, hoping he would turn and notice it was me.
"Who then?" He asked back. I had no answer. For if I did answer, it would blow my cover. As Sasuke turned and left into the darkness, I felt a shower of relief. That is until I found myself launched in the air with my back against the wall. Sasuke's hand at my neck. "Naruto. Why have you come? If you think you are going to pursuade me to return to the village with you, I am not." I tried to sputter a response, but Sasuke was clenching his fist tighter and tighter around my neck to where I thought he was going to kill me. "Well?"
" S...S-S...Sakura.....chan. She .... misses you. I---- I promised I'd find you and bring you back to her." I heard Sasuke give yet another sigh before I felt hardly onto the cement floor.
"Come." He said, expecting me to follow him. Like a moron, I did. I gasped as I walked into his room. It was HUGE !
"So, you came to get me to take back to Sakura as if I was her pet, eh?" Sasuke didn't even look at me.
"Not as a pet Sasuke. She wants you. I know that deep down, she HUNGERS for you." I tried not to show the tremble in my voice. Sayin this wasn't easy. It meant I was OK with this. And I was most certainly not.
" I'm not in love with her. Therefore her hungers for me will make her starve. I have no intention on going back." Anger was boiling deep with me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Sakura? STARVE?? I tried to collect myself, but that is a battle that I had lost.
" How can you say things like that? Wasn't anything Sakura had did to make you feel good about yourself? Maybe even just once? if not, you are one cold-hearted BA --" I was broken off when Sasuke was inches away from my face.
"So you think I'm cold-hearted?" Sasuke looked at me intensley. I was drowning in his eyes.
"Got a problem with that?" At this statement, Sasuke chuckled. I was getting REALLY pissed. How could he just sit there while I was basically insulting him?Something happened that stunned me. I never imagined myself doing this. It wasn't me doing it. I knew it was the Kyuubi. Suddenly, I engaged in a war between the Kyuubi, still kissing Sasuke.

What the hell do you think you're doing you demon?
I'm putting on a show, Kit. Don't you want to stick around for the show?
What makes you think that I'm going to let you take over me?
You may not like this boy, bu tI intend for you to put on a little show for me. I'm beginning to like him. He's ravenous- - beastlike if you will.
You can keep on thinking like the pervert you are, but you are NOT going to win !!!!!
Kit, Kit, Kit. I already AM winning, don't you see? You didn't kiss him freely. I did that.

I knew what she was saying was true. She did take over, but merely for a minor second. There was no way in hell I was going to let her beat me.
Soon I snapped back into reality. Sasuke was no where to be seen.
Now look what you did !? You scared him off !
Did I? No, did she? My only chance at bringing him home for Sakura was gone. I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Who knew you were perverted Naruto." The words coming from Sasuke's mouth made me blush with embaressment.
" I-I'm not! It was the Kyuubi!" I hesitated, hoping he would believe me.
"Fine. Now go." Sasuke turned. He was avoiding me now. I could tell in his voice, the way it sounded.
"Sasuke. Please. Reconsider! You don't owe me a favor, and it's not because I really want you back. It's because of Sakura-chan!"
"Please! You say her name as if she was some sort of royalty. Here I am at peace. No one bothers me, they don't dare to. What makes you, no, why would I go back to the dull life I had before?" I caught on. Sasuke wanted to be Orochimaru's pet. I now understood that I couldn't change his mind. As I got ready to leave, I walked up to him. Close enough to feel his breath.
"I can't talk you out of it, OK? You win. Goodbye Sa-------" My voice fell. I tried once more. "Goodbye Sas-------." I couldn't push out his name. Flashes of times we had together played like a slideshow in my head. I could see Sasuke and I accidentaly kissing. The first time I realized I hated him. I could see Sasuke and I training, struggling to get at the top of the tree in the Forest of Chakra. The pain jolted me when I remembered Sasuke nearing death to save me. But the most painful and most powerful memory was that of our battle.Tears crept theie way into my eyes. The tears I had held back earlier were the first to flow.
I couldn't stop thinking of him. It was as if I wanted Sasuke to give in and come with me. Now, searching my heart, I realized something I was blind to see: I cared for him. DEEPLY. I crept toward him slowly. I was right in front of him when I embraced him into my arms, whether or not he wanted me to. I decided the whole reason I went through all this troulb to get him was because I wanted him. With ME. Not Sakura. I wanted him to say he longed to see me and willingly go back, but that was not the case.
I felt a squeeze around my waist. It was Sasuke, returning my embrace with one of his own.
"Sasuke? I realized something. It is I who want you to come home. It is ME, not Sakura. Please,PLEASE come home !!!" Tears were more powerful, falling like raindrops onto Sasuke's clothing.
"Naruto...." The hurt in his voice. It was unbearable. I had this feelign coursing through me. Then I noticed something quite embarrasing. Sasuke loosened his grip. "What's wrong, Naruto?"
" I-I'm REALLY sorry, I ----" I paused. I had to. Something was touching me. Caressing me. I shivered. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be. Sasuke was taking me in his hand. My man was in his control. Soon he let go and stepped back.
"Don't be embarrassed Naruto. I find your innocence quite adorable." At these words I trembled. Suddenly I had the urge to jump to him. But that would mean giving in to the Kyuubi and giving her what she wanted. I didn't care. Not now anyway.
