Raptured ◈ Sasuke Uchiha

XVII

"Someone told me to stay away from things that aren't yours, but was he yours if he wanted me so bad?"
-Melanie Martinez, Pacify Her

They both stood in front of a large silhoutte of a cat, his body covered from the curtains. "So.. you managed to make it here huh? Who are you, meow~ ?" Sasuke came forward. The female Uchiha had already seen the cat's jutsu. "You're the one they call Nekomata? It'll be easier if you volunteer your paw print, otherwise, it's going to get painful." The large body had moved to its side. "Meow~! I'm impressed that you have stand before me and had to make a threat like that! Meow~" Akane's sense went in alert, noticing that the large figure was attemtpting to hurt her master. "However.." The large cat grinned mischievously, performing a few hand signs.

"It seems that you're tomcat, is eliminated. Meow~" Nekomata turned to Akane who was looking at the male Uchiha trapped under a genjutsu. A smirk made it's way to her lips, feeling herseld free from the potion's entrapment. "Don't underestimate the Uchiha." Sasuke was quick when he had released himself from it. "With our sharingan, we can be able to see through genjutsu. It will have  no effect from us." Sasuke said, before turning to look at her. "You have to tell me the details later, Sasuke."

My eyes narrowed at his. "Oh.. you look cute in that and so out of your nature." His eyes twitched. "But yours are so far away. You don't even know what you did earlier." He turned his head to his front. I came wondering why he suddenly stopped what he said. His body was trembling and his face was sweating. His ears turned a beet red. "What just happened when I was out?" I asked myself, guarding myself when I glanced at the front to see Nekomata.

"Well you're pretty good. I'll have just to use brute strength. Meow~!" His large claws came at us. We quickly got out from his way. Nekomata chased after Sasuke, destroying the pillars of his home. My eyes glanced at the top to see explosive kunai tags at the ceiling. He's good at this game. I watched as the two males had fought it out. My back hissed in pain, noticing that my cat tail had retracted as well as my nails.

Sasuke was swiped away from his claws and Nekomata had kicked him to the ground. I grinned, amused. Well, it's time for someone to need some good beating. Naruto's clones stopped his paws that almost got the male Uchiha. "Hurry Sasuke! Snap out of it!" The blonde yelled. I had noticed the pink haired kunoichi had arrived, getting to Sasuke. My eyes boredly stared now. But I guess, I have to help my team for this mission. I went towards them. "Akane-chan! You're back!" Naruto exclaimed. "Sasuke-kun, are you alright?" Naruto's clones poofed away while I watched the scene unfold. "Sakura.." The male Uchiha muttered in pain. What is this... My head feels like a burning pot. They both looked at each other for a moment. Why does it hurt? "So this is Nekomata huh? It's time for you to meet the star of the show, Naruto Uzumaki." He pointed at himself.

"Stay out of this." His blue eyes widened. "Whaa-" Sakura had carried the male in her shoulder. "This guy is mine. And besides... it's almost over anyway." He let go, throwing one last kunai. Nekomata chuckled. "I could easily be able to dodge that.
Huh?" His eyes followed the kunai noticing that he was already trapped. "Paper bombs?!" He gasped in surprise. "You didn't think I was running around and escape, did you?" The ceiling broke, large debris fell over him. The cat was quite knocked out as Sasuke took out the paw print. "Mission Accomplished."

I looked out the newly polished picture we've brought as a remembrance for that mission. Sadly, I wasn't there in time for the action but only when the mission had reached it's peak. A flash of pink and blue embedded my dreams. Why does it.. hurt?  I sighed, placing the picture on my drawer.

"What's bothering her?" Naruto whispered to Sakura, turning to glance at Akane who was sighing for a hundredth time. "I don't know. Maybe it was your fault when you had spilled the potion at her." His guilt started to rose inside him, looking at the female Uchiha whose mind seemed so far away from here. "Akane-chan!" My thoughts were interrupted when Naruto came nearer. "Well what is it?" His fingers knotted shyly. "I just wanted to say sorry during our last mission. I didn't mean to do it. I promise!" I sighed once more, causing him to look at me with watery eyes. "It's not bothering me, Naruto. It's fine." How I wish I was still under the potion's spell at that time.. His face morphed into a smile. "Oh ok. I don't know what's bothering you, Akane-chan! But you could tell us if you want." I smiled a bit. "Thanks."

Everyone had dispersed on their ways, Kakashi had dismissed us once we're done reporting. I sighed, walking out of nowhere with my foot kicking up the stone.

"Sasuke-kun!" Her pink hair waved with the wind, tears streaked down her face clutching the unconcious raven in her arms. "Sasuke-kun! Don't you dare die on me!"

"Sasuke-kun, are you alright?" She went quickly by his side, watching the male trembled in agony.

Kakashi stood in alert, shouting at us. "Duck!" The large sword came out of nowhere. Sasuke had pinned Naruto down with him. I glanced to see that he was looking out for the cherry haired girl.

"Huh.." A small flash of pink came in between my memory. "I always admire, Sasuke-kun for how he is. I had always been since we we're still back at the academy." In this dimention, would you be together in the end? I sat down at one of the benches at the park, staring down at my sword. I should be training rather than sitting here doing nothing but dwell in the past. Naruto's voice was heard all over the wall. He and his shenanigans. I thought climbing off to the other side to see the Hokage's grandson being pulled by a black suited ninja. "Let Konohamaru go!" Naruto yelled angrily. I took a glance at his headband. From Sunagakure huh? A stone came over and targetted the ninjas hand, causing him to let go of the poor kid.

A blush appeared on the female ninja beside him. I looked at the tree to see Sasuke clucthing another stone in his hand. "Sasuke-kun!" I felt myself yelp at the sound of Sakura's voice.
