Losing Focus
Artemis: *sigh* I didn’t get as many reviews as normal last time. And some people who’ve reviewed almost every chapter didn’t review. *pouts* I hope it’s just because of the Christmas season and not because my story is losing interest to people. 9_9
Anyways, the tengu that captured Naruto is not Sai (as I mentioned, I have yet to see Sai in the anime so I don’t know his personality). And Sasuke isn’t dead.
My thoughts on the last chapter…I liked it. ^^ I got more of the real plot line in there, and was able to explain the Sharingan as well as a little of the current status of relations between Heaven and the Devil Beast.
Oh…the tengu isn’t an OC. But I’m a little nervous about the personality of the character that plays the tengu. So I’m going to do my best…just don’t hate me for it. XD Warning, this character may come off completely OC just because we never saw much of him. The mask he wears is a little different to, only cause I wasn’t planning on using him in this story. So bare with me. ^^
OOOOO!!! And for fans other then me, if you haven’t noticed, The Top Floor got updated! And it’s a worthy chapter! XD *huggles it and Mirandler43*
NOTE: Again, I'm doing a holiday special! Yes, a christmas special hosted by the characters, again answering any question you come up with, no matter how silly it is!! So...make sure if you want a question answered that you ask in your review by the 24th, and I'll post it on the 25th!

Chapter 15: Losing Focus
He wasn’t sure how long he’d been out of it, but when Naruto opened his eyes he had that groggy feeling of having slept to long hit him. Groaning, he sat up in bed and rubbed the back of his neck with a wince.
“Neh? Sasuke? What time is it?”
When he didn’t get an answer, Naruto opened his eyes again and immediately realized he wasn’t in the resort room. The bed he was laying in was huge, easily twice the span length of his wings, and really soft. It felt like he was sitting on a cloud. He also wasn’t dressed in his normal pajamas. Instead of the fox hood and tails, he was dressed in silk and cotton robes of red and yellow shade. He looked like one of those china dolls!
Frowning, Naruto crawled out of the bed and stood carefully, trying to remember what the hell had happened. He’d woke up and realized Sasuke wasn’t in the room. Then he’d followed after Sasuke, but it had turned out to be just a stupid garden snake. And now he was in this strange room in these weird clothes. Obviously, there was a time gap there.
Naruto frowned and walked over to one of the windows, looking out in an attempt to figure out where he was.
“WOAH!!!” Naruto exclaimed the moment he got an eyeful of the outside. He was in some sort of hive shaped house suspended just above a floor of snow covered cooled lava! This place was cool!
“Do you like your new home, my white winged one,” A silken voice behind him inquired.
Naruto jumped in surprise and spun around quickly, tripping over his robes and falling with a yelp. A pair of arms caught him before he hit the ground and lifted him up, cradling him against his captive’s body.
“You should be more careful. Otherwise you’ll harm that beautiful body,” The other chided softly and helped him back to his feet.
Naruto frowned and took a hesitant step back, bumping into the wall. “Who are you? Where are we?”
His captor looked around before looking at him again, expression hidden behind his mask. “This is my home. I am the tengu who guards these mountains. You may call me Haku.”
Naruto blinked slowly, then suddenly he remembered just barely Sasuke turning into a black winged tengu. “You! Why did you take Sasuke’s form? Why’d you bring me here!?”
Haku chuckled and crossed his arms calmly, “I was bored and mistook you for a human child. I thought I could have a little fun. But when I realized you were such a beautiful tengu, I knew at once that I wished to make you my bride.”
“B-Bride!?” Naruto blushed deeply and sidled along the wall away from the other. “Woah! You’re making a mistake here. I’m not a tengu! I’m an angel! Besides, you don’t want to marry me. Trust me…I wouldn’t marry me! I can’t clean, I snore in my sleep, I fart at really inappropriate moments, my grades suck, and don’t get me started on my cooking!!”
Haku ignored him for the most part, walking towards him slowly with a coy grace.
“H-HEY! Aren’t you listening!?” Naruto squeaked in terror, trying to make a bolt for it but his attempts were intervened by Haku’s strong arms grabbing and pulling him into a hug.
“So cute!” Haku cooed, cradling Naruto in his arms, seemingly unaffected by the blonde’s squirming.
“Wah! Lemme go! I don’t wanna be a bride!” Naruto protested, tears in his eyes.
Haku continued to ignore him and cuddle his captured bride happily. A white bunny hopped into the room after a moment, looking at the couple with its blackened eyes.
“Excuse me, Haku-sama?” The bunny spoke up, attracting both Naruto and Haku’s attentions.
“Woah! It talked!” Naruto exclaimed.
“What is it, Mittens?” Haku asked, blinking curiously.
“Mittens?” Naruto raised an eyebrow.
Mittens ignored the blonde’s commentary, used to this by now. “It would seem, my lord, four strangers who have entered your woods seek to capture your bride.”
“SASUKE!” Naruto exclaimed, hope filling his heart. That had to be Sasuke and the others! They were coming to rescue him!
Haku noticed how Naruto’s face lit up at the exclaimed name and immediately flushed jealously, tightening his grip on his angel. “THEY’LL NEVER SUCCEED!!!”
Mittens frowned, “But Haku-sama…the humans have a great beast that travels with them.”
“Nani?” Naruto and Haku both voiced at the same time.
Mittens nodded solemnly, “Yes. It’s as big as a house! With many rows of sharp teeth and when it cries out, its voice shakes the very foundations of the earth! It is a mighty, terrifying creature!!”
Akamaru whined and rolled onto his side, covering his face with his paws. Kiba sighed as well, crossing his arms and frowning at the rest of the youth.
“I can’t believe you got us lost!” Neji let out in exasperation.
“We’re not lost!” Sasuke objected, trying to hide the embarrassed flush across his cheeks.
“Well…We’re certainly not getting anywhere!” Neji pointed out.
“Would you two stop it already? We’re not rescuing Naruto standing here arguing,” Kiba interrupted, glaring at them both.
“And what’s your excuse?” Sasuke asked, gesturing to Akamaru. “You’re mutt’s sniffer not working?”
“Hey! Don’t point the finger at me just because you went rushing off recklessly,” Kiba interjected with an indignant huff.
“Yes. We should have informed Gai-sensei and Kakashi-sensei of this disaster at once,” Lee agreed.
“Shut up, Lee,” Kiba snapped at the boy.
“Don’t shout at him,” Gaara snapped at Kiba, getting annoyed with all of them.
Lee pouted and nodded. Sasuke sighed and looked around, frowning unhappily. Naruto, where are you?
“I think we should go this way,” Neji decided and started off in one direction.
“We just came from that direction,” Sasuke argued, heading off in another.
Akamaru whined and stood, shrugging himself off before following after Sasuke.
“Hey! Akamaru!” Kiba called out in annoyance, following after Sasuke and his dog.
Neji hesitated and then turned, rushing after Sasuke, Kiba, and Akamaru. “Like hell I’m letting you win, bastard!”
Lee frowned and watched them leave, looking at Gaara before turning and heading another direction. “I will return and inform the sensei’s of this.”
“Wait up…” Gaara sighed, choosing to follow Lee rather then the bloodthirsty group.
Sasuke frowned, stepping over a fallen tree and into a clearing. He slowed to a stop and scowled, recognizing the clearing as the very same clearing they’d just left behind them.
“We’re going in circles…or is it just me?” Neji huffed, voicing the obvious.
Sasuke hated to admit it…but they did seem lost. It was weird though. The mountain was right there! If they walked towards it, they should reach it. So how were they going in circles?
Akamaru whined again and collapsed, exhausted with their constant run arounds. Kiba stopped as well, resting his hands on his knees and recovering his breath. “Ok. This is getting ridiculous.”
“I agree. You guys go your way, I’ll go mine,” Neji stated, heading off into the woods.
Sasuke didn’t stop him, waiting to see if his theory was right. Sure enough, five minutes later Neji reappeared in the clearing again wearing a very bewildered expression.
“What the fuck!?”
“Damnit,” Kiba groaned, plopping down on the ground and leaning against Akamaru. “What’s going on!?”
Neji turned on Sasuke, his irritation getting to him, “This is entirely your fault! We shouldn’t have gone running into the forest at night without properly preparing ourselves!”
“Oh shut up, snake bait!” Sasuke snapped at him, his anger rising with the hopelessness of their situation.
“Well, it’s true!” Neji snapped at him.
“Then why didn’t you stay behind? I didn’t ask you to come along!” Sasuke exclaimed.
“Because there’s no way I’m letting you play hero!” Neji replied. “Naruto is mine!”
“Naruto is not yours! He never will be, so get over it!!” Sasuke shouted angrily.
“Oh! And this is your decision to make?” Neji questioned sarcastically.
Sasuke gripped his fists, “YES! It is!”
“Well you know what? Fuck you!” Neji snapped, punching Sasuke in the face.
Sasuke recoiled from the hit and fell onto his back, taken by surprise by the attack. Pain turned to red hot anger, and he quickly got to his feet and threw a punch into Neji’s face in return. Neji swore as he stumbled back, gripping his nose and locking eyes with Sasuke.
Kiba sat up in surprise as the two suddenly went at it, frowning disapprovingly at them, “GUYS!!! Hello? I don’t see how this is helping our situation!?”
Sasuke ignored him, forming chakra to his feet to give him momentum and launching at Neji while aiming for his face. Neji dodged just in time, rolling across the ground and back onto his feet, reaching into his pocket and drawing out a small piece of paper with scribbling on it. He prepared himself and shot the paper at Sasuke’s feet. It started to smoke, exploding just as Sasuke managed to bolt for it. Sasuke rolled into a ball as the explosion knocked him to the ground harshly. What the hell? So the snake bait had ammo! Quickly recovering, Sasuke formed a couple of hand seals Kakashi had taught him and took in a deep breath, letting out a rush of flame in the direction of the other boy.
Neji yelped and jumped clear of it while Kiba shot to his feet in surprise and momentary fright. “Woah! OK! That’s it! Both of you stop this right now before one of you gets killed!!!”
Neji quickly recovered, ignoring Kiba’s warning and rushing after Sasuke with fists prepared.
“I SAID STOP IT, DAMNIT!!!” Kiba screamed at them, getting angry. “You’re both acting like dumb asses!!”
Sasuke blocked the punch with his arms, grabbing Neji and flipping him over and onto his back.
“That’s it!! I’m going to kick both of your sorry asses!!!” Kiba cried out in frustration, rushing after them both and throwing punches into both of the boy’s guts.
Akamaru watched the three boys fight and let out a huff and whine, covering his face with his paws once again.
After a while of fighting, Sasuke started to return to his senses thanks to the ache in his face and body from the exchanged blows. What the hell were they doing!? They should be finding Naruto, not fighting like a bunch of kids in the middle of no where!
Sasuke dodged an attack, doing his best to clear his mind and calm down enough to look around. Wait…Kakashi had mentioned once that the enemy might use a method of trapping a person or group in an illusion and wait till they either exhaust themselves or break out into disgruntled fighting. Also mentioned earlier was that tengu’s would lure travelers into getting lost with a similar method of illusion.
Of course!! The tengu had them trapped in an illusion! Sasuke quickly formed a sequence of hand seals and leapt into a tree, leaving a log disguised as himself on the ‘battlefield.’ He watched them fight for a moment, before rushing off into the woods and forming the seal to disperse the effects of an illusion. The tengu had had them for a moment there, but Naruto was far to important to him to allow a simple illusion to keep him off focus.

NOTE: Again, I'm doing a holiday special! Yes, a christmas special hosted by the characters, again answering any question you come up with, no matter how silly it is!! So...make sure if you want a question answered that you ask in your review by the 24th, and I'll post it on the 25th!
Haku - Yep. I finally decided to make the tengu Haku. I wasn't sure, and I probably can't get his personality down to well. But yeah... ^^
Mittens - Haku's white snow bunny!!! XD From the anime! You remember? He almost got decapitated by Naruto's kunai. XP
The terrifying beast - yeah...Mittens was speaking of Akamaru. *giggles in amusement*
***reviewer responses***
CommGonn - No. Sai won't appear in this story and Orochimaru...well...I'll say nothing of any of the villains in the Naruto anime. ^^ They may or may not appear.
XZanayu - Haku did it! Bad Haku. XD And so far, the boys ain't doing so brilliant in their rescue attempts. XD
ClosetEmo - Angst fics suck cause they make me depressed to. And don't worry if your review sounds like a love letter. XD I love love! It makes me happy and helps to motivate me to continue writing the story. ^_^
niguara-chic - yeaaa...I do that at random. ^^ I thought about it, but Hinata isn't really a fighter in this story line. And I can't see Gaara and Neji together...mostly because they'd never interacted in the anime. Glad you like the story. ^^
littleolmee - I argued about it, but decided to go ahead and make the tengu Haku. ^^ Does it work? Not sure...*shrugs* ^^
innerchild - Short reviews are better then no reviews in my opinion. Yeah...Naruto got himself kidnapped. Figures that it would be Naruto of course. ^^ As for the ninth beast? That's the big mystery. ^^ Even I'm not sure...or perhaps I am. *whistles mysteriously*
Anna - Naruto annoy Haku? That'll be interesting. So far Haku's been immune to most of it. XD As for the squad...they lack something we call mutual teamwork. XP
Artume - No...It's not Sai. He won't be in this story cause I've yet to see him. Lee rules to. ^^
Donedin - Congrats! I've still got a year of college myself. ^^' Sasuke isn't dead. Sorry if I made it sound that way. Gai and Kakashi were just wondering over how someone like Sasuke who's alive could possess Sharingan when its a trait that only appears in the deceased.
Everlasting Skies - Don't worry. Sasuke won't let harm befall his angel, and Naruto is no weakling. XD
tovah - thank you. ^^
summerwind - Thanks! And yep. I have plenty of good suggestions. Light hearted narusasu stories without focusing on Sasuke betraying everyone and stuff. It's getting old. >_< Sorry, that's all I'll say. ^^ I have another idea that I plan to do someday, so can't share that. ^^
