<~Dream~>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<~ They both stood in the middle of what looked like a burnt forest. The smell of rotting flesh and drying blood filled his nosterals, causing his stomic to urch in discontent. He scanned the surrounded field of bodies, noting things he hadn't before. Not all of the corpses looked completly human. Some of them had long ears, were unusually short, or seemed to be a human-animal crossbreed. He stopped on the form of a young female with long black-purple hair, dark skin and.... fox ears and tails?
'What happened here?' he thought. As he continued to examine the bodies, he asked himself, 'What are they? What killed them? what set fire to the forest?'
Hearing a low growl-like chuckle, he looked back at the silouette before him. He could sence the presence of others. Many others. Many powerful beings were approaching him, and he wasn't sure if he had any living allies that would have his back.
'Why can't I activate my sharingan?' was the next thought as he attempted to activate to Uchiha's blood-trait jutsu. He glanced down to his complaining stomic, spotting a glowing symbol just above his naval. No one needed to explain to him what it was doing to him.
He looked back at the slowly advancing group. shivers ran up and down his spine as he realized what kind of a situation he was currently in. Out numbered, no justu and no weapons as far as he knew. and judging by the immense chakara coming from them, he could easily guess they were no normal group of people.
Taking a few steps back, he scanned the bodies again. He could recognize several of the bodies, dispite some of them being, literally, torn apart. Sakura... Kakashii..... Iruka.... Ino..... As he mentally named the now incomplete bodies, his stomic churnned again.
'Where is Naruto?'
Even without his sharingan, it had always been relitivly easy for him to find the blond shinobi. He wasn't one to let anyone ignore him for long. Even in death, Sasuke suspected, Naruto would have done something to let any survivors know he'd outlasted most of his opponents.
But he was nowhere to be seen.
"Sasuke."
The raven haired teen sharply inhailed befor turning towards the voice. It was low... almost growling... but all too familiar.
'It can't be...'
As the group neared him, what little light that was allowed through the darkly clouded sky revealed all befor him. And the one closest to him, the one covered in blood and licking it off his fingers was....
"Naruto."
The blond chuckled. "How observant."
Everyone else soon came into view. Itachi, Kisame and several other Akatsuki members, along with Orochimaru and other people he was certain were all dead.
The pale skinned snake licked his lips, letting his long tounge hang out as he said, "We've been looking for you, Uchiha Sasuke."
"It's time," Itachi said, "for you to choose."
"No," he whispered, not quite sure what he was refusing.
"You don't seem to fully understand your, heh heh heh, 'choices', young Leaf ninja."
Onyx eyes darted in every direction, Looking for the source of the unknown voice.
"You see," the voice continued, "either way, it only spells your death. You join me, we kill you and bring you back as one of my loyal subjects. You'll be more powerful than an army, so powerful the immortals themselves will fear your power. Of course," it chuckled, "you could refuse and die for nothing. I'll just have to rip your soul apart and keep the body for myself."
Sasuke growled, glairing at his surroundings as he took an offensive fighting stance.
"Do you really think you can stop me!?" the voice barked. "You really are foolish. Look around you, child. All of your friends, allies, and companions are either dead or fighting for me. Even your blond friend there surrendered his body, seeing how fiutal it was to resist any further."
'Nani?'
His eyes slowly traviled back to the whiskered male. His body seemed awkward, slumpped over and limping as he walked closer to the Uchiha. His orange and black jacket was stained and smelled of fresh blood. His pants were completely dark red, as if he had been soaking in a pool of it.
'He wouldn't have,' Sasuke assured himself. 'He's not one to do anything like that. He'd die befor he'd even consider becoming someone's puppet. He--'
His thoughts came to a stop as his shorter friend looked him in his eyes. His once tanned skin was almost white, his lips turning blue, his once sunshine hair taking on a dullish color. And his eyes, once like bright and clear saphires, were now grayed. Hallow.
Dead.
"Naruto?"
"Join me," the voice continued as Naruto ran his fingers through Sasuke's midnight locks. "Join me, and be reunited with your friend. He misses you. He longs for your companionship again, young Uchiha."
'I... I can't. I shouldn't. I WON'T.'
"Sasuke."
He winced, hearing his best friend say his name with so much pain. It was almost too much for him.
"Please," he begged, leaning closer to the Uchiha heir. "Come to me."
He could feel his body shake as their lips conneted for the second time since the academy. His eyes closed tightly as the fox-boy's blood coated toung forced its way into his mouth. He could feel the vains around his heart tug.....
It wasn't untill Naruto's hand reached his chest that he realized that it could be his death.~>
Sasuke woke up in a cold sweat, sitting upright with his hand on his chest. A sudden dizzyness hit him as he quickly scanned his room.
'Was it... it was a dream.'
The Uchiha, realizing he was hyperventalating, took slow deep breaths. He closed his eyes, listening as his pounding heart began to slow to its usual steady beat. He took one last breath, slowly letting it pass through his lips.
Then he noticed his lips were wet.
They were covered in blood. His mouth had the familiar taste of liquid iron in it. Rubbing his fingers, he looked at his hand, which was covered in a red light, illuminated by the moonlight form his window.
Befor registering what he had done, he was in the bathroom spitting out water and washing the offending hand. He wiped his lips with soapy digits, the continued to rinse the still bloodied body parts. He had decided to splash water on his face befor deciding that it was gone.
"Sasuke?"
Said teen stiffened, then cursed himself, thinking about how obvious it must've been. He painfully sighed. This was the last person he wanted to see.
"Oi, Sasuke, are you okay?"
"Yeah," he managed to cough out. Yeah, Sasuke, he'll buy that. You, leaning over a sink with blood stains on the sides, not even bothering to look him in the face. Oh yeah, so convincing.
"Bullshit," the blonde growled. "There's obviously something wrong with you."
"If it's so obvious," the older snapped, "why'd you bother asking, dobe?"
"I wanted to make sure you were still breathing!" the blond yelled back. "After you screamed, we weren't sure whether you were dead or not!"
"I'm fine," Sasuke hissed. "It was... just a dream."
"A dream, huh?"
There was a knock, followed by a woman's voice asking them something. Naruto gave a "Yeah, he's okay," sounding more like he was trying not to worry everyone on the other side of the door.
'It's probably Youko.'
Sighing again, Sasuke lifted his red tinted hand. No punctures, cuts, or scrapes that would've allowed blood flow. No injuries at all.
"S-... Sasuke..."
"What?" Sasuke growled.
"Your arm.... you're bleeding..."
Unbelieving, Sasuke lifted his left arm, seeing that it was pouring blood onto the tiled floor below. Feeling sharp cuts, he looked back to his once blood covered right hand.
On his fingers and thumb were carved five words: Hate, Death, Greed, Lies, Power.
Soon, a single kanji appeared on his palm.....
Aku. Evil.
Looking further down his arm, a message was written in his pale skin. His vision blurred, then whent black.
-------------------------
"SASUKE!!"
The now paniced teen ran beside his fallen comrade. Seeing the fresh cuts, he ripped up his black shirt, using the rags to prevent further bleeding.
"Sakura! Youko! Get in here, Sasuke's hurt!"
Naruto ripped another piece of cloth, for which he'd bandage the other arm....
He stopped as he read what was written.
---------------------------
"What could've done that to him?" Naruto asked his two 'siblings'.
"Well," Shiro sighed, "if I understand how ninjustu works correctly, it could've been caused by one of Sir Sasuke's enimies."
"Or someone who's our enemy," Youko added.
"Your enemies?"
"It wouldn't be possible. We're on a different planet, hundereds of trillions of lightyears away from Catalyst. And with the protal we got through closed, there'd be no other way for the spellcaster's energy to reach a target as specific as Sir Sasuke without hitting another being in the prosses."
A moment of silence fell on the trio.
"Is it still possible that the portal's open?"
Shiro blinked towards Naruto. "Yes, but only if there was something I didn't do, which would leave a tear in between the two spaces."
"We made sure everything was perfect," Youko growled. "The moons, the incantation.... We even got fuckin' dragons guarding the damn thing incase someone tried some stupid shit!"
"What if someone got it," Naruto asked.
Again, the three fell silent.
"We should rest," Shiro semi-yawned. "It would be of no help to be too tired to do anything about it."
The two foxes nodded, the three heading into the rooms Sasuke had assigned them earlier.
------------------------------
Naruto climbed into the large bed, pulling the blanket up to his chin, azul eyes stairing up at the ceiling as if hoping to see through it.
"Sasuke...."
Sakura had said she'd be watching over Sasuke for the remainder of the night, healing the cuts that had appeared on his arms. The raven haired teen had acted like there was nothing wrong, but..... What could it be?
The blond closed his eyes. The message on his friend's arm had been.... disturbing, to say the least. Knowing Sasuke, he had more enimies than Naruto could remember. That message could've been from a number of people. Orochimaru and Itachi had been the first two names to come to mind, but quickly dismissed the latter. Itachi wasn't one to want to make his presence known untill it was too late to do much about it. Orochimaru might, hinting to them that he'd try to get sasuke back from them......
"You're not going back....."
Then there was that bit about how one of Youko's and Shiro's enimies could've done it. That really didn't help any......
What had Sasuke dreamt about? Maybe that would tell them who might've carved that message into him.
'I'm coming,' it said. 'I'll be expecting a proper welcoming.'
"He's not going back..."
The room slowly grew dark around him as sleep quickly came over him.
"He won't....."
'I won't let Sasuke go again....'
