Danger Dressed In Red Clouds. (Naruto fanfiction)

Its a Bitch

I hardly remember anything. Sasuke is always making a small cut on me with a scalpel that he put the poison on. It's a paralytic agent that stops the flow of chakra. It's a bitch. The only thing I know now is I'm being carried and we've stopped. I can hear a splash of water every now and then. I just decided to keep my eyes closed since I needed to focus on building chakra. Although Sasuke cutting me every few hours isn't making my job easy. By now I can't even move my fingers.

He picked me up again and I could sense the scowl on his face. I smirked knowing he wasn't enjoying himself. But I also felt guilty. For all these years I thought he was a lying asshole. Well, he's still an ass but he's not a liar. Oh well I guess I'm the bitch in this situation. I don't forgive him but I will one day.

We finally came to a stop as night fell on us. Sasuke set me down against a tree while he built the fire and the other man went for water. I watched them as they cooked the food and talked a little. Sasuke as always looking bored and uninterested. Suigetsu the guy with white hair was more talkative and aggressive. After a while I realized something. I could move my hands. Then I felt my legs. I sighed knowing I wouldn't get away. I'm safer with Sasuke than I am alone. I groaned and shook my head popping my neck as sighed. "Ah, that feels so much better." I said stretching my arms and back standing up. Sasuke grabbed the scalpel and was behind me in the blink of an eye. I wasn't fast, but I easily predicted where he'd be. Lifting my elbow at his hand before he could cut me I grabbed the blade with my free hand and he was gone again by the fire.

"Now Sasuke. You insult me." I smirked while he glared at me. I threw the blade in the fire destroying the poison. "If I run you'll kill me. I'm too weak for now so I have no other choice but to stay do I?" he sat down without saying anything else. I sat by the fire and yawned popping everything in my body.

"I've never seen anyone mock Sasuke." Suigetsu pipped in with a toothy grin.

"I know how the Uchihas work. I mean," I looked up at Sasuke meeting his gaze, "I do know his brother after all." Hatred filled his eyes and I smiled.

Suigetsu glanced between us and leaned back noticing the tension. "Geez, if looks could kill." He mumbled rubbing the back of his neck.

I looked away at the fire and laid down. I need sleep. I'll be able to get away soon. I just need to rest. And when I can move I'll be gone and safe with Itachi. I smiled and teared up at the thought of being with him again.

When morning came I was sitting beside the sleeping men while watching the few red embers of last nights fire. Sasuke shot up and looked at me before relaxing. I smirked and waved. "Morning." The sun had only just risen.

He looked away and stood up. Suigetsu was mumbling in his sleep with drool coming down his cheek. "Wake him up so we can move." Sasuke said flatly.

"Don't give me orders Uchiha." I snapped and stood up. I nudged Suigetsu with my foot and he barley stirred. I kicked his leg hard and he jerked awake yelling.

I sighed and stretched. "Sasuke you know I'm not going to help you. It would be much easier if you killed me." I said relaxing my hands behind my head.

"You will at one point." That was all he said.

We started walking silently and after a while Suigetsu groans and sighed. "This is so annoying! Why does it have to be her?!" He complained.

Her? Who is this "her"? I didn't bother to ask. We kept walking in silence although I could feel the red eyes of Sasuke studying me. It was getting annoying. I took a deep breath and counted to calm my nerves. Shit doesn't work. I sighed as we came to a river.

"Go ahead and refill here. We have to keep moving." Sasuke barked the orders at Suigetsu and I.

"Yeah, yeah I got it." Suigetsu mumbled obviously annoyed.

We both knelt down to refill the canteens and I stared at the water. I pointed my finger at it and swirled it slowly. I smiled when I saw the water spinning with me. Although it was a small reaction the fact I could get it done when my chakra is restrained is good enough. I pulled my hand back and stood up with the canteens and walked back over to Sasuke. Once Suigetsu was done we started walking and walking and walking...

I'm gonna have to kill Sasuke myself soon if I don't get a break.

Then my eyes widened as I saw something familiar. "You're kidding me..." I rubbed my eyes when I looked up at a sign. "The great Naruto bridge... You're shitting me."
