Seducing Sasuke

Chapter 1.

Sasuke never thought that this would ever be a consequence for his actions. That this would be the punishment he received for going after Orochimaru in order to quench his seemingly insatiable thirst for power. That this would be the reason why he would never be able to return to Konoha, lest they discover what the Snake-sennin had done to him. And more importantly, why he couldn't even look at himself anymore without raising his fist to the reflecting surfaces.

He stared straight ahead, at the reflection staring back at him. But this was not the face he had hoped to see, no. It was much rounder. The edges, where they used to be sharp, more defined, were smoothed and curvy. Sasuke rubbed his fingers across his lips. They were much fuller than his original pair, curving upward into a natural pout. They were a bright rosy pink against his pale complexion. He ran his hand across his cheeks and up to his eye. These weren't the same. They were dark, a midnight black that set off his skin quite nicely. And they were slanted slightly, like cats eyes. But the lids were larger than they had been. The eyelashes thicker than they should be. And the shape larger than Sasuke ever remembered. They were his mother's eyes...

And that was what Sasuke hated the most about his new face.

The only thing that had stayed the same on him was most definitely his nose. It was as small and perfectly shaped has it had always been, sticking out cutely in the middle of his face. Sasuke touched that as well, relishing in the feel of the coolness of his flesh. It had been days since Orochimaru had allowed him to travel about the underground hideout. He had been cooped up in his room, since the snake had claimed that sunlight would destroy the results of his experiment. Sasuke hadn't been too sure what the man had been referring to, as if he cared anyway. He didn't much pay attention to the things Orochimaru did. As long as he got the strength and training he needed to defeat his brother. That was all that mattered. Unfortunately, that had been Sasuke's biggest mistake. Now that he looked back on it, the only thing that could have altered such a change in him was probably those daily shots that Orochimaru had ordered Kabuto to give him. Sasuke hadn't a clue as to what it was, but he had been foolish enough to believe the grey haired ninja when he said it was a special formula for increasing the speed of rebuilding muscle tissue.

The raven stood and turned away from the old cracked mirror. It had been shattered into several bits. He couldn't even look into it properly without seeing several distorted images of himself. No, not himself. Of what he had become. He slunk over to the side of his room, where the bare mattress (save for one thin blanket and a small pillow) was pushed into the corner. It was dark inside the small enclosed space. But he could clearly make his way around, seeing as he had used a fire technique to light a wall hanging torch (which cast the area into an odd orange glow and made the darkened spaces that the light couldn't quite reach even eerier). But it would have to do, because Sasuke was only allowed one torch. He flew out the fire as he settled into his bed - the room becoming pitch black. He laid atop his uncomfortable mattress, the large springs pressing against his back, and stared into the dark. Before he rolled over and closed his eyes.

He hoped to get at least a little sleep before Kabuto awoke him for his daily training.

Because if he didn't, he was going to be really pissed.

oOo

The door creaked against the pale man's wishes as he tried his best to be as silent as he could. He peeked into the darkened room, his eyes adjusting to the sudden change in lighting. When they finally had, he was able to see it. A darker silhouette against the dark that was in the shape of a rectangle. A bed. A jumbled object was laying atop the rectangle shaped blackness, so Sai could only figure that that was a person lying on top of that bed. And when he narrowed his eyes further he could clearly see the crest of the Uchiha clan sewn into the back of the figure's shirt. So this could be none other than the person he had been looking for. Sasuke Uchiha.

"Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll," he whispered as quietly as possible. It summoned a few thin ink snakes, in the likeliness of that of a garden snakes, that slithered to the bed and slowly up the dark figure's back.

"Who's there?" suddenly spoke a voice. Sai started when he noticed the octave was a tad higher than he would have guessed his target's to be. Could this really be...?

"So, you do know I'm here," he spoke, unsure of what to do now. It was unheard of for a member of Root to exhibit anything but stealth. This situation was atypical. And he had yet to forget his last meeting with the Uchiha, which had only been a few hours earlier. It had been a tad bit unnerving. "Well, regardless, I still have the advantage."

"What do you want?" came the voice out of the dark.

"Well, if you mean Lord Danzo, his objective is to bury you," Sai replied evenly. "But me, I have come here to take you back to the Leaf."

He smiled as he recalled what Naruto had said to him earlier that day.

"When I first started out, I did so with the sole intention of ending your life. You share something with him. A bond of friendship that Naruto is desperately holding onto. And I'm here to protect it."

A silence passed between the two.

"A bond...?" Sasuke asked slowly, as if in disbelief. "Is that really your excuse... for waking me up?"

Sai's senses became alert when the Sharingan flashed before his eyes. He activated his jutsu, sending several snakes sprawling across the Uchiha's back. Sasuke struggled against them. And then there was an explosion.

oOo

Naruto jolted forward and nearly toppled over his own two feet when the ground rumbled beneath him. Yamato and Sakura paused at his side.

"W-what was that?" the blond asked.

"That's Sai's chakra," Yamato answered.

"And it's up ahead," Sakura clarified.

The trio ran through the underground maze into the direction in which they felt Sai's presence. They quickly approached, his chakra signature growing stronger, until they spotted a tunnel that had the slight from the outside streaming into the darkened around. It was the remains of whatever room had been blown to bits by their comrade. And the pale teen could been seen just meters from the entrance, his gaze fixed on something far up.

'There he is,' Sakura mused through gritted teeth. She charged ahead, not stopping at the sound of Yamato shouting after her. Sai was going to get it.

She yanked his collar, effectively snapping his neck, and directed his attention toward her. "Alright - enough! Tell us what you're really up to! How many times are you gonna betray us-"

"Sakura."

"-before you-"

The pinkette immediately froze, her brain finally registering that unfamiliar voice. She looked up into the direction Sai had been looking, passed the glare of the sun which had darkened the figure standing above into a mere silhouette. And her green eyes slowly grew wide when she recognized the man standing before her.

"Is that...you? Sasuke?"

oOo

Naruto's heart quickened and his eyes grew wide as well. He felt an unfamiliar pain twisting in the pit of his stomach. Had Sakura said...? He fixed his momentary lapse, his determination set, and forged ahead. He ran through the tunnel, ignoring the pain, the apprehension, the fear, as he ran to meet up with his teammate. He had to see for himself. He had to make sure that - Naruto caught himself before he stumbled for a second time, wondering why everything always seemed to take the longest when you truly wanted it. He picked up speed once more, the distance to the opening growing near. He was so close - it was only just ahead - he was only -

The blond broke through the exit and time seemed to stand still. He turned his gaze toward the sun, just as Sakura had done before him, his heart feeling like it had frozen in his chest.

"Sasuke," came his breathy whisper. Was that really...?

And the raven just stared back at him, his expression a mixture of indifference and slight curiosity.

"Well, Naruto...you came, too."
