Chapter 3: Forest of Death: Part III
It took me a few seconds to process the tragedy that just happened.
"Sasuke!" I yelled as the Snake Pervert drew back his once again detached head.
Sasuke pelted Orochimaru with a series of fancy taijutsu kicks and punches creating some distance before sucking a lung full of air and blasting his infamous Fire Dragon Jutsu.
"Now!" Sasuke commanded as he tumbled back to where Naruto and I were stationed.
On cue, I rushed through my hand seals and activated the technique, "Ice Dome of Magnificent Nothingness!" Immediately, a dome of ice caved around us and deflected the kunai bombs Orochimaru sent to follow us.
When the smoke cleared, the conscious among Team 7 made out a figure walking steadily towards us. He sent a few more bombs and poison gas, but my dome didn't budge.
Sasuke was panting heavily beside me with a kunai in hand while Naruto was still comatose behind the both of us. I was on one knee, focusing the last of my chakra flow into maintaining the ice barrier separating us and the enemy.
"Amusing indeed," Snake's vile voice sent shivers down both our spines. Thank Sakura in the heavens for he suddenly stopped and did not approach any closer.
"What do you want?" Sasuke barked, rage and fear obvious in his eyes.
"I know you'll come finding me. You desire my power," Orochimaru said with unparalleled confidence and turned to walk away. There wasn't even enough time to let out a sigh of relief when he swiftly turned around once more.
He had the fucking nerve to look me in the eye. "Until next time…" he whispered as a parting gift before completely disappearing.
The instant he left, my ice dome subsided and I fell forward on all fours, choking aggressively on my vomit.
Pressured by both my sorry and Naruto's pitiful states, Sasuke transported us to some area with more shelter and algae. We were back on the supported ground, which gave us slight relief from expending our chakra to stay glued to the tree branches.
I turned to Sasuke who was putting a cool cloth on Naruto's burning fevered forehead.
"Uchiha…come over here," I gestured said person over. He was wearing a 'what now I'm already scared shitless' expression, but the hell did I care.
Only when he was next to me, did I finally release the hand covering my neck. "Did he leave a hickey?"
A throbbing sensation pounded relentlessly around the swollen area he had bitten. I winced in pain, but kept one eye open to extract the information I needed.
Blue Boy's disgusted reaction confirmed that there was no doubt that I was branded.
"Shit. Shit. Shit!" I cursed under my breath and punched the floor with my hand.
Throwing a tantrum wouldn't solve anything. Think Haku.
In a few seconds, a smirk snuck its way onto my face. I turned to Sasuke, and he knew it was coming.
"hell. no." Sasuke began rushing through hand seals.
"hell. yes." But I beat him to it. My ice formed a prison and immobilized his feet.
"Shit. God no!" Sasuke melted the ice with his fire and was planning his next escape plan.
"Fuck Uchiha. I saved you from this fucking bite and you're just gonna leave me to die?" I spat out through my gnashed teeth.
"You fucking threw a needle through my leg!" I still can't move it thanks to you!"
"I fucking saved you. This would've been you if not for me." I flinched from the pain eating at my skin.
Fan Boy was insanely arrogant. He was a big fat dick. But have to admit, he is pretty cool.
I tilted my head slightly to the left and started my rant.
"What the fuck was Slit Eyes saying about power? Who the fuck needs his power? Look how unhealthy he looks. I swear 'm gonna blow his perverted ass up with my thousand, no, billion flying water needles of de-
"Shut the fuck up, Haku!" Uchiha jerked my head more to the left. Giving his 'I'm too good for this' labored face for the fiftieth time, he lowered his head and placed his lips to my neck. His teeth from his tiny mouth tickled my neck and I couldn't help but squirm around.
"Stay the fuck still, dickhead!" Uchiha tightened his hold on me before spitting out the black blood he was able to extract.
"Then hurry the fuck up Loser!" I hollered back in reciprocated impatience. "You think I like this?"
God the only thing keeping me going was imagining Naruto's Sexy Justu.
I looked over at Naruto who was slowly regaining some color in his face. At this rate, it would be just a little more time before we could move again. But until then, we would still be vulnerable.
I looked at Sasuke who collapsed from embarrassment. I patted my neck, there was still discomfort, but I could tell the worse has already passed.
"Yo… Sasuke." I nudged him in the side, but he was too defeated to give a damn. This obviously crushed his fucking massive ego. I kind of felt bad, but what had to be done, had to be done.
"I'll take responsibility," I breathed into his ear.
This got a reaction.
"The fuck you just sa-
But Sasuke stopped mid-sentence. We both sat up and had our guard up once more.
In the not so far distant, there was slight, yet not completely unnoticeable movement in the green bush from the side of our camp.
We were being watched. And now under attack again.
