Chapter 14: Twilight's Sparkle (Sasuke's Vengence)

As he bolted out of Sakura's apartment, he stumbled into the snow that had started to pile even more. Though the whiteness blinded him, he felt as if he could thrive in it. To him, all he cared about was finding Naruto and keeping him close. Foolish me! He thought, I had practically broke him with what I had done! Yet all that mattered right now was the fact that he needed to get into the forest. Deep within his heart he felt as if it was there he would find his beloved.

Snow shifting a bit in his black hair, Sasuke began to run towards the forest, his legs sore from all the training he had done, along with the tiredness that had still leaked itself down into his bones. He chuckled though, This isn't as bad as Haku.... That memory made him smile in the driving snow. It was true though, not that many missions had dealt with a foe like Haku. He had been one of the few that had gotten to him, showed him that he had weakness, and had showed him that he had some feelings for Naruto.

Little did I know then, that I would be caring this damn much for that ninja. With that same smug look on his face, he pushed forward in the driving snow, letting his Fire Style jutsu keep him warm. That drive had made it possible to keep him warm. It felt as though his veins were on fire, but he didn't care. "Naruto... I'm coming for you!" He said to the wind. Memories flashed by his mind, lost memories it seemed. Though they were chopped up and messy.

"The beauty of it. It's remarkable." That line continued to replay itself, as he wound himself through the snow covered streets. "Yes it is remarkable. His beauty is!" With every word that he had said about his love, it seemed as though he could feel more strength, as if it was curing him slowly and surely. However, it took him a few minutes to finally get back to the running he was used to. "Dammit Naruto. You better have not gotten yourself into something destructive!"

Finally rushing into the forest, his crimson eyes shot around for anything to help him get into the right path for his love. The kunai pack was suppose to be by his side, he always kept it there. Yet as he slipped a hand down towards it, he realized that it was gone. "NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed, a slightly different anger coursed through his veins. A slightly amused anger. Naruto had made sure that Sasuke was comfortable when he changed him up. He also was amused by the fact that he was still in Naruto's clothing, the orange pants a bit awkward in appearance for him.

"Oh.. look another leaf ninja..." A voice echoed in the trees, making Sasuke fling his head around in the direction it was coming from. He growled somewhat at the woman he saw, knowing only one other leaf nin not asleep at this moment was his mate. The woman only chuckled at him. "What's wrong baby? You don't want to see me?"

"TELL ME WHERE HE IS!?" Sasuke yelled at her, wanting to find Naruto as quickly as he could. Yet she only could laugh at him, before she shoke her head.

Standing on a branch above Sasuke, she could only smirk at him. "The boss only wanted that blonde one alive, so guess what that means?" She smiled ear to ear, gleaming with darkness. "It means that Keladry can kill ya!" Her hands were already in a seal before Sasuke could blink. "Snow Style, Ice Bolt Jutsu!" From her body, three ice shards came flying at Sasuke with tremendous speed.

I can't avoid them! Not in this.. state. His Sharingan had showed itself within his eyes as he calculated where they were coming. His hands moved with agility that she had not seen in a while. "Flame Style, Fireball Jutsu!" He pinched the air in front of his mouth and blew outwards, letting the flames lick at the ice, causing them to just rain water on the ground in front of him. His eyes felt a bit weird as he tried to see where she was in front of him.

Keladry had moved from where she was, trying to get to another spot for a second jutsu against this boy in front of her. She chuckled as she had thought of the perfect one, hands flying into seals almost immediately. "Snow Style, Blizzard Jutsu!" The air around Sasuke began to chill as the winds picked up. His eyes continued to scan around, before they were assaulted with flakes of snow that had started to swirl around him.

From within the whiteness and blackness, Sasuke could hear Keladry chuckle. "It's been a while since I had to use that one on someone, though... its not as strong as what you've seen." His eyes bolted open, only shielded by the arms that he had held up in front of him. As what I've seen? Does she mean...? Though he didn't have much time to complete that thought as he heard her mutter something else, "Snow Style, Icy Blast Jutsu!"

Within his ears, he could hear the rushing wind and the swirling snow, but something else started to creep up. It was like the sound of a kunai flying by his head, though it continued to get louder and louder. "SHIT!" He screamed as he started to move against the winds, trying to move away from his position. Sasuke knew that something was coming for him, most likely a huge ice shard. Yet, he had never heard of some of these jutsu, as if they were created and mastered by this woman alone.

The sound of shattered glass echoed inside of his head as he started to feel as though he was hit by hundreds of needles everywhere on his body. His eyes partially closed, Sasuke looked at the outside of his hands for a moment. Needle-like ice shards had dug themselves into his skin, and it seemed as though they were trying to chill him to the bone. He could hear her chuckle from within the swirling winds, trying to deduce where she had gone. Sasuke knew that she had moved multiple times since he was within the icy prison of a blizzard, and that started to irk him.

Closing his eyes totally, Sasuke began to calm himself down. I can't attack her if I get emotionally attached like that. Even as he tried to calm and center himself, one thing kept slipping into his mind. It was of his first dream he had when he came back to Konoha Village. That's right...I'm not fighting for myself right now. I'm fighting for... With a rapid succesion of hand movements, Sasuke started to find himself doing a jutsu that Naruto had showed him only once before. "Forbidden Style, Shadowscar Explosion Jutsu!" From within his hands, he could feel the forbidden jutsu start to tear at his very being for a moment, before it found a central link. From around his body, the snow started to slow down for a single moment, letting him see everything in great clarity.

Yet, even as it slowed down, it sped up once more, but the rate at it had sped up was greater, as it started to grow closer and closer to Sasuke, like his own very being was sucking the life out of the air around him. Keladry could only blink at the words she heard. "He...shouldn't know something like that...." She muttered to herself, before she realized she should shield herself before she got killed by the explosion outward.

Within his body, he could feel the chakra building up steadily, waiting to be expelled outward, to find its victim this time. The wind continued to swirl closer and closer to his body, until he could feel a vortex surrounding him. Sasuke smiled a devil's smile, as he released all of the chakra inside of his body, letting the blast shoot outward. He could see the blackness that had been within his body start to annihilate the wind and snow about him, until it had gotten to a few trees, letting them get eaten with its grasp. With the chakra explosion outward, he could feel every single thing on his body tingle, along with his hair flying about haphazardly.

A dark glare clouded his eyes, as he watched the five foot crater appear before him, before he even looked up to the trees to find Keladry summoning another jutsu. "Twilight Style, Water Balance Jutsu!" Water and ice started to swirl around in her hands, as she pointed at Sasuke, almost flinching as she saw the gaze of a murderer.

He chuckled once before speaking up a final time. "I ask you one last time, where is Naruto!?" He cracked his knuckles without even touching them, as he jumped over the crater, his chakra already built back up in his feet, cracking the ground beneath him.

"Y-Yuki... has him..." She flinched, letting herself shoot the blast without thinking. It spiraled down towards Sasuke, who only could chuckle at it. His Sharingan had watched her perform the jutsu, which only made him happier, he wanted to try it out sometime. Yet now, he felt as if he should just use an old technique. "Lightning Fist!" The air about his right hand had begun to spark and cackle, before lightning started to swirl around it. Looking up at her, he smiled, though the look of death still present in his eyes.

"Thank you..." He dodged right, letting the blast hit the crater behind him, as he ran over to the woman, his path led up a tree which he climbed with ease. Appearing only as a flash, he was right next to her within a few moments. "Now die!!!" His right hand was thrusted towards her, swirling and cackling with lightning energy.

However, as he did that, a single shurikan flung right by him, stopping him for a moment. "I would stop that now, Sasuke." A silver haired man walked into the visibilty of the Uchiha boy, as Keladry took this time to disappear. Swining his head back to where she had been, Sasuke growled.

"Damn it! I was about to kill her!" His eyes flashed with darkness and anger, as he punched the tree trunk where Keladry had been. With all of the force he mustered, it just vanished without a trace, letting only the sparking air where the tree trunk had once been, be the only evidence that something had happened.

The man chuckled at Sasuke. "Seems you can't control yourself, huh? Wonder if it's the raging hormones." He sighed before leaning against a tree.

Sasuke growled back at him, as he jumped down to stare at the man, face to face, with his purely crimson clothing. "I will kill you!" Even as he said those words, each syllable seemed as though it took all the strength out of him.

Shaking his head at Sasuke, the man frowned. "Seems you tired yourself out..." He watched as Sasuke wavered for a second, before collapsing to the ground. "Guess I'll have to clean this up." He sighed once more, before picking up the boy. "You never learned anything, not even from me." He smiled as he warped away, his last words staying in the air for a moment.

"Might as well...let you know of your fate."
