I know ladys has been waiting for some sort of teaser, and hoping it would be the lemon. Sorry hun! But here's a teaser to get you warmed up.

And I haven't forgotten about Mika and Naruto either. They're in the middle of getting it on, but my muses are being assanine and only want to make them (and me) suffer. More soon. I promise!

A VEIL OF TEARS
A Naruto Shippuden Fanfic

Written by Miyu, Vampire Princess


"Too slow, Ku-chan," Sasuke teased, forcing her to retaliate again.

Kunai had finally lost all patience with this battle. Letting go of herself, she shifted into her demon form in a matter of seconds. Her legs grew longer, her arms stretching as well. Her entire being contorted into the form of a dark wolf. A howl was let loose into the night as her body began to glow ominously with power.

Sasuke didn't appear worried, though. He'd battled her in this form many times. It was like a guilty pleasure. She was faster, much more agile. A good match to test his skills.

The sparring continued. Each parry and thrust matched. Each kick and punch deterred. Every movement was graceful, both moving nimbly among the trees and rocks. An outsider would think the two were performing a well choreographed dance instead of watching an impromptu battle.

But all that changed in moments.

His body whipped around, almost like a tornado. The force drove Kunai into a nearby tree. Her body slammed into the trunk with a sickening thud and the tree lurched from the impact. Sasuke smiled, Leaves falling around him like rain as he approached his opponent. His gaze followed her as she slumped to the ground.

“Good fight,” he said, his voice nearly breathless. The one side of his lips curled into a half smile as he leaned over, his arm reaching out in aid. “Need a hand?”

Kunai’s eyes glowed a brighter amber as she looked up at him, flashing with anger. It was almost insulting, him offering her help. She brushed his hand away, bracing herself against the trunk of the tree. It was difficult to see her wounds in this form, but she wasn’t as badly beaten as he thought. As she managed to push herself into a standing position, his smile grew. And with it, her anger.

“What’s wrong, Ku-chan? Have I finally bruised that ego of yours?”

That was the final straw.

Sasuke’s eyes widened as she moved, with a speed he didn’t know she possessed. He could barely make out the outline of her form as she rushed him, had no time to think of a counter attack or a defensive move. He cursed aloud as he felt first one punch than another. He managed to deflect the next hit but it left his back wide open.

And Kunai took the advantage.

Drawing her arm backward, she extended her claws wide before sweeping them through the air. It was like watching in slow motion as she brought her hand down, her nails digging into the cloth of Sasuke’s shirt. The sound of fabric ripping should have stopped her, but she pressed on, her nails scrapping over The fabric tore from the sharp stroke, the skin of his back turning a light pink where she scratched him.

“Damn it!”

Sasuke cried out, feeling the sting of her claws on his skin. It was at this point when he was reminded of how dangerous her claws could be. How poisonous the simplest of scratches could be. He hissed through clenched teeth as he fell to his knees and waited for another blow he was certain would come.

But it never did.

Breathing heavily, Kunai stared in horror at what she’d done. Her eyes never left his back, the color changing from amber to their usual silver. Her body shifted back to its human form with no thought at all, the power containing itself as she focused on her fallen opponent.

“Sasuke?”

The dark haired male continued to curse under his breath, his body not listening to any of his commands. Doubled over on the ground, he felt as if a parasite had entered his system and was methodically shutting down all his major functions. First his circulation, then his ability to move. It wouldn’t be long before his entire body would be compromised.

“Shit.... Kunai....”

“You had to go and piss me off didn’t you,” she stated, kneeling beside him. It was a horrible excuse, she told herself, her fingertips lightly brushing over the wounds she had given him in the heat of battle. They didn’t look all that bad, minor scratches to the untrained eye. But Kunai’s claws, when in demon form, were laced with a heady poison. One designed to attack the nervous system, like a predator trying to seduce its prey. Just a little scratch could put a person’s life in jeopardy.

“Hold on, Sasuke.” Kunai placed one of his arms around her shoulders, heaving his prone body upward as they stood. “Camp’s not that far away. I can treat you there.”

“I....” He tried to mo e on his own, only to loosen Kunai’s hold on him. He fell to the ground again in an unceremonious fashion.

“Just...hold on!”

“Can’t....” It was so hard to breathe, let along speak.

And without warning, the ninja passed out.

"Sasuke! Damn it!"

His body felt heavy in her grasp. With the sweat on his brow and his labored breathing, she knew the poison was already at work. Thankfully she could treat him in enough time to save his life. His chakra was strong, he'd pull through quickly.

But she was hardly concerned with his body at the moment.

It was his mind she worried about.

Please let me know what you think so far. I know I suck at action sequences, but any suggestions are welcome. ^_^
