Nasuro

~Sakura's POV~

The sight of Sasuke attacking Naruto and the others was terrifying. His inhuman speed and black, unemotional, and almost seemed hollow, eyes only made it even more. "What about Sakura?!" Naruto yelled. My stomach dropped and I tensed up. I heard Sasuke chuckle darkly. "Who needs love when you have power?" I knew right then and there that this wasn't Sauske. This wasn't the Sasuke I knew. This was the other side of him. The side that lusted for power. I crawled slowly towards the duo, trying to be quiet as possible, and listened to them talk. As soon as I was close to Sasuke, I stood up. I cursed myself mentally about how slow I was. And just before Sasuke was about to punch Naruto, I hugged him. I wrapped my arms around his torso, hoping that my actions might just stop him. As if my prayers have been answered, he stopped. His fist was roughly one centimetre away from Naruto's terrified face.

The weird makings on Sasuke's body started to slowly fade away. And when it did, it became a little tattoo on his neck. I tried to comfort him, I really did. But he just wouldn't look my way. He was holding his neck painfully, as if he was burning. His other hand was on mine; squeezing it tightly. His hand was surprisingly warm, and I was afraid that my hand was going to pop out of my arm. He let go all of a sudden and gripped his neck with both hands. His breath was uneven and he was shaking. I placed a hand on his shoulder and felt something odd. I felt a surge of power. But I ignored it. He let out a tiny yell then lay on the floor, unconscious.

After a few minutes, the others regained consciousness. We were now currently in a semi-circle, listening to Neji. He said something earlier about knowing the mark—no, curse mark, on Sasuke's shoulder. "So what exactly is this?" Kiba asked as he pointed at the mark on Sasuke's neck. "I'm not 100% sure of what it exactly is, but—" the Hyuga started to explain but was cut off by Naruto yelling. We all whipped our heads in that direction and saw Naruto really close to Sasuke. Really, really close. "Naruto, I don't think you should be too close to—" I started to say but then he did something. Something very horrifying. Even more than what I just witnessed with Sasuke and his new powers.

He kissed Sasuke.

—Shikamaru's POV—

Everyone gathered around Neji, eagerly listening to what he had to say. Though, I wasn't too interested and stayed at the back. As we waited for the Hyuga to say his little observation, I noticed something. Spiky golden hair in the back, sneaking over to Sasuke.

What is that idiot trying to do...?!

I walked over to the blonde and observed him from behind. He was looking at the curse mark and muttering "It looks like it, -ttebayo!". "What are you doing now?" I asked the blonde. He flinched and turned around. "Wha!!!" He yelled. Everyone turned around. "Naruto, I don't think you should be too close to—" Sakura started to say. I took a step forward and stepped on something. I tripped and landed on Naruto. He fell forward in front of Sasuke. I sat up and looked beside me and saw Naruto's lips against Sasuke's. His eyes were wide open and Sasuke's was closed since well...he was unconscious. I heard a click and saw Kiba taking pictures (he might've also video tapped the whole thing too). Naruto broke apart form Sasuke. "Naruto!" Sakura and Neji yelled. "Wha! Sakura-chan! Neji! No please you all got it wrong I—" but his protests weren't heard by the two. The both punched him and he lay at floor holding his bruised cheek. "But Shikamaru..." He whined. Sakura and Neji gave him a glare. He shut up. Kiba was laughing and crying. "Oh shit, I haven't seen anything this good in a while!" He cried and wiped a tear of joy form his eyes. "Kiba!" Naruto yelled. I sighed and tried to not take part of the problem, even though I was the reason why it happened. 

After everyone finally calmed down (coughNejiandSakuracough) we all gathered around in a semi-circle again. Naruto's and my hands were tied with ropes. Ropes where they magically found out of nowhere. "As I was saying before I got interrupted" Neji said and gave Naruto and I a look. I sweat dropped while Naruto just grinned his usual fox-like smile. "You promise not to tell Hina-chan right?" He stared hopefully at Kiba. "Not a chance, dead last! I'm totally showing her!" He laughed. Naruto sulked and said a string of colourful words. "Ahem" Sakura faked cough. "Oh, right, continue please" Naruto said and sent another smile at the now fuming Neji. "That mark..."he said and stopped, creating more suspense. We all leaned in closer, eager to find out that it really was. "...Looks exactly like the one form Nasuro" he continued. I stared at him with confusion.

Nasuro?! Are you kidding me?!

But before I can speak my mind, Sakura did. It seemed like we were thinking the same thing. "Nasuro?! Seriously?! And here I though Sasuke's life is in grave danger!?" She yelled. "Oh but it is." Kiba said. "On episode 37 Sazuke got bit by that bastard, traitor, pedophile, Orichihiru." "Seriously?" I said and looked at them as if they were crazy. The three of them nodded. "Yeah, they attacked the hidden leaf village and that pedophile gave Sazuke that curse mark thing. Gotta' say he's strong for fighting it off. Oh and Kazashi-sensei wa—" but Kiba got cut off. "Yo don't spoil it for me!" Naruto yelled. "What? What episode are you even on?" Kiba asked. Naruto looked down sheepishly. "28..." He said. "Ha! That's pathetic!" Kiba said "Look can we be serious about this? Please, Sasuke might be in danger because of that mark. And you still watch it?" Sakura says. "Of course, -ttebayo!" Naruto exclaims. I sighed and looked over at Sasuke. He seemed to be in pain. "Look, do any of you know how Sasuke even GOT the mark? Maybe it will explain how to get rid of it" I said. Neji, Kiba and Naruto shook their heads. "We weren't there yet." Kiba replied. We all turn towards Sakura. "I...." she starts to say. "I don't remember it all, but I saw him, me and Sasori, I think, in a room. And actually, the one all behind this was Orochimaru-sensei." The pinkette continued. We urged her to keep going. "He...bit into his neck and well, I lost consciousness after that. But I'm sure Sasori would know. He was there. I know he was. We just have to find him" I nodded and finally broke free from the ropes. Five seconds later Naruto broke free. I flexed my hand and stared at Neji and Kiba. They nodded and I nodded back. We stood up and Sakura stood up too. She knew what was going to happen. Naruto and Kiba looked around. They came back with a few "stuff". Two baseball bat, two knifes, and a box of matches. Sakura takes one of the bats and starts practicing some swings by hitting something imaginary in front of her. We all edged away, scared of what she'd do to us with that bat in her hands. She smiles (honestly she looks like a yandere) and places it by her side, "I'm ready" she says. We all nodded. I had the box of matches. Naruto and Sakura with the bats, and finally, Kiba and Neji with the knives. We all nodded and I picked up Sasuke. Placing his arm around my shoulders, we ventured in through the doors of the mysterious and abandoned storage room.
