Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything else I may have mentioned below but if you were planning on suing me for it I'm going to be frank and say that you need to get a life.
"What a drag..." groaned Shikamaru. He had grown weary from traveling with Sakura and Naruto for the past five days. At least their mission was finally over. Much time hadn't passed since Naruto had returned from his "intensive training" and Sakura was already ripping Naruto to shreds. It was going to be a long walk home...
Shikamaru continued walking, knowing it would do no good trying to stop Sakura from slaughtering Naruto. Besides, it might not be so bad if she did. He stared out into the horizon in attempt to filter out their noise. It didn't work. Suddenly, Shikamaru felt the presence of another person close by. Not just a passerby, either, one with a murderous intent...a serious one. He gasped and stared at Naruto and Sakura. They didn't notice and continued arguing until, a second later, Sakura stiffened.
Naruto stopped and looked at Sakura sideways. "What is it? Finally going to back off and admit that I'm ri--" He stopped in mid-sentence and a troubled look crossed his face. It seemed Naruto had finally noticed it as well. He stared from Sakura to Naruto. They all exchanged quick nods before darting out into the shadows to find their pursuer.
"Who on earth would be following us? It can't possibly have anything to do with our last mission," Shikamaru said to himself quietly. All of a sudden a bright light blasted into his vision forcing him to close his eyes while a deafening noise rumbled agonizingly in his ears. He was thrown back by the force of the blow and landed on the ground hard. Shikamaru checked to see if his comrades were hurt and then looked up to identify his adversary.
Shikamaru gasped. It was not exactly what he expected. Out of all his foes, he did not expect this. Even a tiger would have been more anticipated...but not this...not him. Here, in the middle of the forest, right across from Shikamaru, stood Sasuke.
"Sasuke!" whispered Sakura under her breath. "SASUKE!" she screamed a second time, this time with an unusual mixture of happiness and insanity. "Sakura," said Shikamaru in a commanding tone. "He is our enemy, not our ally. He will not resist killing you! Do you understand???" Sakura nodded solemnly but she did not take her eyes off Sasuke. Sasuke grinned in an evil, almost mocking, manner. "He's right, you know. My boredom is the only reason you're all still alive."
"Sasuke, you bastard!!" yelled Naruto angrily. Shikamaru stared at Naruto and realized how intimidating Naruto could be when he was truly mad. "Naruto, calm down!" scolded Shikamaru. But Naruto didn't seem to be listening. Apparently neither did Sakura because she ran towards Sasuke and hugged him. Tears began to flow down her face and she was whimpering incessantly. Sasuke looked annoyed.
"You're still a pain..." Sasuke commented rudely. Then, Sasuke punched Sakura in the stomach, not even bothering to look at her as she fell to the ground unconscious. /God Sakura/, thought Shikamaru, /you really are useless/. He didn't mean it, for he knew that Sakura was a great medical nin with extraordinary strength and a caring heart, but when it came to Sasuke...well lets just say she wouldn't even breathe if he told her not to.
"Sasuke!" screamed Naruto with immeasurable anger and perhaps a hint of madness. "You're done for! I was going to bring you back to Konoha, I even promised Sakura, but now you've gone too far! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!"
Sasuke snickered. "Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." he taunted. Naruto glared and began to growl ferociously. His blue eyes faded into a blood red and his nails became long and pointed. His hair stuck up (even more than usual) and his straight teeth became sharp fangs. He was down on all fours and....well he pretty much went into his kyuubi mode, ok?
He launched at Sasuke preparing to strike. Sasuke dodged easily and had a bored look on his face. "You really haven't gotten much smarter, have you?" Suddenly Naruto released a stream of kunai in Sasuke's direction. They were moving with such speed that Shikamaru could barely see them. Sasuke pulled out another kunai and easily deflected every single one with it. Amazing! He's dodging all of Naruto's hits and he hasn't even used a single chakra attack yet!
"My turn," said Sasuke contemptuously. He raised his hand in attempt to throw a ridiculously large kunai at Naruto when his hand stopped in midair. Sasuke looked down at his shadow and then up at Shikamaru, his face expressionless. "Well, you didn't think I was just going to stand here watching, did you?" asked Shikamaru feeling a bit amused. Sasuke smiled and then stepped away. What??? That's impossible. Even if he can beat through my shadow technique with brute strength, he can't possibly do it that quickly. Especially since my technique's force has increased tenfold in the past two years!
"I had really hoped that this would be more exciting. I guess my hopes were too high. But I have to admit, Sakura met my expectations."
"Don't you dare insult Sakura," Naruto yelled, "especially after all she's done for you and how much she cares about you!! I won't let you talk about her like that!"
"Oh please. She's done nothing for me except annoy the heck out of me. As for how much she cares...what good does that really do any of us? She forces others to risk their lives for her since she can't seem to protect herself. She was a worthless bitch from the start and she seems to have stayed that way."
Naruto seemed like he would explode with hatred, but then his expression softened and tears began to roll down his cheeks. "There was once a time when you told me to save Sakura since you never wanted to see anyone important to you die in front of you again. Now you're willing to kill us so easily. You're not the same person I knew two years ago."
At first Sasuke seemed surprised (perhaps the first sign of emotion he's ever shown) but then responded carelessly, "I was stupid then...what more can I say?"
"No, your stupid now. Your mind is clouded with the idea that killing people will allow you to avenge your family with honor. What kind of honor is that? I never knew your parents yet I'm sure they'd never wanted you to become this. If you really loved your family you wouldn't do this. The truth is Sasuke, your not doing it for your family, your doing it for yourself. You want to kill your brother because the thought of him being murdered the way he murdered hundreds of others, and at your hands too, satisfies you. You're not doing it to avenge your family! The truth is, Sasuke, you're just a selfish, murdering asshole. The truth is...you've become your brother."
Sasuke stared at Naruto for a long time. "I've wasted enough time here." Then he departed. /That was unexpected/, reflected Shikamaru, /not even a rude remark/. Naruto sure can be convincing. Even Shikamaru was astounded by the depth of his words.
Naruto walked over to Sakura and lifted her up. "I guess we'd better go," he said glumly. "Oh, and Shikamaru," he added, "Don't tell Sakura what Sasuke said. She'd be devastated." Shikamaru thought Sakura deserved to know the wretched being Sasuke was, but nodded his head anyway. At least he wouldn't have to put up with Naruto and Sakura's bickering, he thought, but right after he thought it he felt disgusted with himself. Well, it was still going to be a long walk home...
