You before me ( Sasunaru)

Chapter 6

Naruto

Where are you?

Why can't I get you out of my head?

Is love supposed to feel?

Sasuke now in the middle of a dark cavern of white dirtied stone. Empty, cold and dark. Only source of light was quite faint but managable. The air was heavy and musty with a metallic smell filling his nostrils unpleasantly, little droplets of water dripping from the spikes of the roof of the cave as dark patches of perspiration tainted the walls and the floor. As much as the cave disgusted him he had work to. He needed answers.

"Tsk, why did I even come here? Never mind. I found her now I need to work on the seal," he muttered to himself as he recoverd the unconscious body of no other than his old chunin exam instructor Anko Mitarashi. Back then she was quite a feisty woman who flew through the window of their class to announce the next round for the Chunin exams. Now she seemed almost lifeless. Her skin seemed paler than usual as she took in shallow breaths, her vibrant purple hair uncombed and dull like a puppet. He  could vaguely make out the three comma seal near the junction between the shoulder and the neck.

Behind him where his followers who brought along the body of Kabuto himself.

"Man this cave gives me the creeps! Damn it why did we even come here Jugo!" whined the silverette as he clutched his sword tentatively while readjusting his brown cloak nervously. He wanted nothing more than to dissolve as a puddle of water and hide but refused to show weakness among the stoic men.

"I came here because I intend to keel my oath. I will follow Sasuke and protect him whenever necessary. You can leave if you wish, Suigetsu," replied the orange haired male as he looked down at the said man with a determined look as his warm brown eyes hardened with determination despite having such an innocence to it making the water nin not want to leave the latter just like that. He sighed heavily,

"Urgh fine. But I cant say I agree to this."

This made Jugo smile softly while the other adamantly looked away blushing slightly.

"L-let's just g-get this over with!" he exclaimed hurriedly cursing himself for stuttering like a clíche school girl making Jugo chuckle as they stood watching Sasuke.

Jugo in the otherhand was curious as to what Sasuke's intentions truely were. He knew that the raven obviously harboured feelings for the blond jinchuriki of the leaf, he could always tell from his little actions and the way his eyes shone at the mere mention of him, but what he failed to understand is why was he bringing back the very person he already killed? What was holding the man from redeeming and going back? He wasnt cursed to be a monster and he had all the control and freedom. Why throw it all aside? He wanted to know what made the Uchiha tick. He watched as those ebony orbs glowed with the hunger for knowledge - the burning need to solve his unanswered questions.

Sasuke studied the seal as he recalled the formula for the seal.  Hopefully he will be able to revive Orochimaru; he knew the Sanin was never truly dead from the way he had modified his body made to keep his essence even if his physical form was damaged with the help of his seals which where connected to him either way. The fact that Sasuke has the seal made matters easier.

"Jugo I need you to take a piece of Kabuto's flesh," he ordered. The orange giant obeyed silently without question inflicting chakra to his hand as it transformed partially in his seal form and placed his hand on the reptilian like man's abdomen and delicately tore off the flesh. Suigestu watched apprehensively as the white muscle was torn from the villain's torso almost too easily as if it were butter. Carefully Jugo placed the piece of flesh upon the seal.
