"You know, I've always hated this place as much as I hated you..." Sasuke said, lying on the ground, his left arm missing. The teenager next to him, known as Naruto Uzumaki, chuckled at that statement.
"Really? I've always thought that this place was full of beauty. The waterfall, the statues...." Naruto said, staring into the starry sky.
"Y'know.... It hurts knowing that I lost again. I wasn't able to fulfill my promise to Sakura, and bring you back to Konoha..." He said, a smile on his face. Sasuke frowned at the thought of defeat, but realized something. Naruto went all the way to bring him back. He even lost his arm, and they were both at the point of no return. Standing right in front of the gates of death.
"I think that you won this time, Naruto. I lost to you... You're still a genin, aren't you?" Sasuke asked. Naruto closed his eyes, as did Sasuke. Naruto had a slight grin on his face.
"I beat you... At least you can't brag to me anymore." He said, turning his head to look at Sasuke. The Uchiha breathed heavily before he said one last thing.
"I've spent all these years thinking about revenge... But it all turns out that it was pointless." He said, blinking once, only to close his eyes again.
"Goodbye Naruto...." He whispered, before a shining light took him into its presence. His hand turned colder than the chill of the night, and his body was numb.
'Is this what death is like?' He asked himself. But his hands started to regain heat, as if he had his other arm again. His body regained feel. Suddenly, he felt as if he was falling. He opened his eyes to reveal that he was standing on a staircase. It was white, and he seemed to be in the sky. He checked himself- All he had was his blade. No Kunai, shuriken, ninja wire, or summoning scrolls. He turned around, seeing a figure walk down the staircase towards him. It wore a red cloak, and had long, black hair. Sasuke grabbed the hilt of his sword, ready to attack whoever was coming. As the figure came down, he suddenly became more familiar.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" A familiar voice boomed as the figure stopped. Sasuke immediately knew who this was.
"I-Itachi?" He mumbled, as he took his hand off of his katana. The figure stepped forward once more, and smiled. It was Uchiha Itachi.
"So... Am I dead then?" Sasuke asked, opening and closing his hand. Itachi closed his eyes, shaking his head. He then frowned, as he finally reached Sasuke. Sasuke looked into Itachi's eyes, and Itachi stared back, putting his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
"I believe that you don't know the next step. You still have thoughts of revenge in your Heart, Sasuke." Sasuke's pupils shrunk. He... did? But didn't he just reveal that revenge was pointless to Naruto? Sasuke clutched his heart, and activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Suddenly, darkness surrounded him.
"YOU STILL DO WISH FOR REVENGE ON THE HIDDEN LEAF, HUH SASUKE?!?!" A voice said, causing Sasuke to tighten the grip on his heart. His Eternal Mangekyou began spinning, as he could not see through the darkness. He wanted revenge. He needed revenge. He WOULD GET REVENGE.
"Sasuke." Itachi said, causing the brother Uchiha to look back up, the skies clearing of darkness. Itachi sighed, before he said one more thing.
"You have too much darkness in your heart. Before you can come back, you must be cleansed. Then, you'll be able to come back. As of now, you have been rejected from paradise." He said throwing Sasuke off of the staircase. Sasuke looked up in disbelief. His own brother rejected him from paradise? Now, he was falling from the clear sky. He started to feel tired, and closed his eyes, as he fell into a deep slumber.
Sunset sat up, yawning as an alarm clock woke her up. She looked down, seeing that she was in her sleeping bag. When she looked around, six other girls were sitting up, yawning, and finally waking up. Then it hit her.
'Oh yeah... Slumber party at AJ's.' She thought, as she got up and stretched. She started to roll up her sleeping bag, as Rainbow Dash began conversation in the bedroom.
"Did you guys get a good nights sleep?" She asked. Everyone nodded and yawned, as Pinkie did a cartwheel through the room. Her stuff was packed, and she was already bouncing off the walls.
"I didn't get a good nights sleep! I'm beat!" She shouted, doing push-ups. Everyone then looked to Sunset, their eyes eager for something.
"So.... Sunset. How did you enjoy your first sleepover?" Applejack asked, twirling the hair in front of her. Sunset smiled.
"It was amazing, guys. Thank you so much for showing me another path." She said. Everyone smiled, and continued packing. Applejack began once more.
"We're glad to have you here, Sunset." She said, as she went into changing her clothes. Sunset chuckled, as she finished the sleeping bag. Suddenly, as Sunset closed her eyes, something grabbed her. It started to pull her. She opened her eyes, as she saw that she was holding onto the hands of her friends, and they were pulling her. She looked back, seeing her demonic form from 2 months ago.
"YOU WANT POWER, DON'T YOU?!? THEN WHY ARE YOU WASTING TIME WITH THEM?!?" It asked her. She held on for dear life, but it seemed that the girls couldn't hold onto her, and let go.
"Sunset?" Sunset's head perked up, as she saw Fluttershy behind her. They were the only ones left in the room.
"You.... Um... Might want to get ready, because we're already at breakfast." She said. Sunset nodded, and took the top of her pajamas off, revealing the sports bra underneath.
"I'll be out in a minute." She said, Fluttershy nodding. She then left the room, leaving Sunset by herself. As Sunset put her clothes on, she looked outside, seeing the rising sun.
'I hope that today will be my chance to show everyone I've changed...' She thought to herself, putting her skirt on.
"Sunset!" Applejack called from downstairs. Her head perked up, and she immediately turned around.
"Coming!" She shouted back, grabbing her jacket and running down the stairs. She put her Jacket on, and found the six girls sitting at the table.
"I'm gonna go gather some apples before the day starts. Take as much food as you want!" She said, Sunset looking a a layout of trays. Eggs, sausages, biscuits, bacon... A large farm breakfast. Applejack stepped outside, as the other five girls grabbed plates, and dug into their food.
Sasuke opened his eyes, and immediately looked around. Everything was still white and blurry.
"Excuse me sir!"
His vision began to clear up, and he looked at his surroundings. Behind his head, he felt the roughness of tree bark.
"Excuse me!" A voice shouted from below. He looked underneath himself, seeing a girl with a hat and blonde hair.
"What do you think you're doin' on mah farm?" She asked. He looked around one more time, realizing where he was.
"The trees ain't for restin'! Get down from there!" She yelled. He looked down at how high he was. He was stuck on a tree.
Author's Note
Well, here it is. The Oh-So hated 'Eye of an Uchiha' has been replaced with this. Maybe we can get a ton of likes. Who knows? Either way, I'll see all of you dudes... In the next chapter!!!
"What're you doin' on mah farm?! The trees are for buckin', not for restin'!" Sunset could hear Applejack yell from a long distance away. She looked to the other girls, who looked back to her in confusion.
"Do you think we should check on her?" Sunset asked, the four other girls looking to one another.
"I think she has everything handled...." Fluttershy said quietly picking at her eggs. Rainbow looked to her, then to Sunset.
"What if it's another horrifying she-demon?! We can't rest!" She said, standing up. Sunset looked down, and the three other girls stared at Rainbow.
"Uhhh... Sorry Sunset. I didn't mean any offense." She said, Sunset nodding in response. Rarity stood up, and began walking to the door, as they listened to Applejack yelling in the distance.
"Ah'm gonna call the police if you don't get down from there THIS INSTANT!!" She yelled. Rarity looked back to the girls, sheepishly smiling at her friends.
"We better go check on her before she does anything irrational. You know how ill-tempered she can be!" Rarity said, openingthe door and stepping outside of the house. Sunset shrugged her shoulders, and stood up.
"I'm not sure if I waant to go. There could be someone bad out there, and they can probably hurt us..." Fluttershy said, as Pinkie pulled her arm.
"That isn't an excuse! We also have awesome friendship powers that we can use to blow the bad people to pieces!" Pinkie shouted. Fluttershy shivered at the thought of someone blowing into pieces. Sunset sighed, to the three girls. One wanted to blow people up, one didn't want to go help, and one was staring at a wall. She closed her eyes, and suddenly felt completely cold. When she opened them back up, she saw that she was in the vacuum of space. She couldn't breathe as she continued to stare into the eyes of darkness.
'So cold...' She thought, closing her eyes once more. She suddenly felt arms wrap around her, and something wet touch her neck. When she opened her eyes, she saw the She-Demon version of her. It held her like a baby, and stared deep into her eyes.
'Join me in a quest for power, Sunset. Abandon those silly friendship ideas, and rule them like dogs!' She said without moving her mouth. She suddenly drew her head forward, and Sunset felt the same wetness from earlier. As the She-Demon licked Sunset's neck, the fiery haired girl felt as if she were going to pass out. As her vision started to blur, she felt the lips of her former self on her own lips.
"Sunset?" The voice of Fluttershy asked, as Sunset snapped back into reality. She looked up, seeing Pinkie and RD stare at her, Fluttershy also looking at her with her puppy-dog eyes.
"Oh... Sorry." She said, scratching the back of her head. She immediately stood up, and walked to the door.
"Let's get going, and let's go help AJ." She said, a smile on her face.
Sasuke stood on the branch of the Apple tree, staring down at the two individuals below.
"For the last time, where am I?" He asked in a cold voice. The blonde girl facepalmed, and looked to him with blazing anger.
"For your information, you're on mah farm!" She shouted, the purple haired girl putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Take it easy, Applejack. I'm sure he doesn't mean any offense. Maybe he's just lost, right?" She asked. The blonde suddenly lost her temper, and pointed to Sasuke from below.
"Listen here, you gosh darn vermin! I'm gonna call the police on you, and you're gonna get it!" She said, her face extremely red. Sasuke was then fed up.
'Mangekyō Sharingan!' He thought, activating his eyes. The black pupils took the form of red flowers, and he jumped down from the tree.
"Thank you! For goodness sake, that was like trying to get a cat down from a tree!" She said, looking at him. Their eyes suddenly met, and she couldn't pull away from the flowers.
"Are those natural?" She asked. He put two fingers up to his face, and the flowers started to glow.
'Killing intent.' He thought. Suddenly, the blonde girl's eyes started to fade, as she fell to her knees.
'W-why can't I move?' He could hear her think. The purple haired girl screamed, and he noticed four other girls coming.
"What the heck?!" One of them shouted. He couldn't lose focus now. He continued to stare her in the eyes, until he felt a sharp pain on his chest. As he looked down, and away from the blonde girls eyes, she saw a girl with fiery hair. She had punched him in the chest, and he had not noticed. He looked around, seeing 3 other girls. The expressions on their faces were full of awe, anger, and the intent to save their friend. It was clear about exactly what they wanted. He closed his eyes.
'Release!' He thought, and in a second, the blonde fell to the floor, coughing up bodily fluids. Everyone stared at her, the one with light pink hair rushing to pat her back.
"I'm going to need a bucket!" She shouted, looking to the Rainbow-haired one. The girl nodded, and immediately started running towards the farmhouse. Sasuke, now on the ground, stared up to the sky, as he saw the fiery haired girl step over him.
"Oh my gosh... Are you okay?!" She asked, kneeling down over his face. He felt her touch his face, and she looked to the liquid substance on her hands.
"Is this blood?! Sir, we need to get you inside!" She said, trying to sit him up. He turned his head towards her, and looked her in the eyes as he sat up. His Mangekyō still active, he tried to get her attention. She soon looked up, and stared at his eyes. Her emerald eyes were shining in the Mangekyō's presence. Suddenly, the both of them were surrounded in black.
"Wh-what the heck?" She said. Sasuke looked around himself, trying to see what chakra this was.
"Who are you, and why are you on AJ's farm?" She asked suddenly. He looked up, seeing those emerald eyes again.
"I don't have to answer to you. I have my reasons." He said stubbornly. She looked around, and eventually saw a figure getting closer. She immediately knew who this was.
"You again?!" She yelled. The figure got even closer. It was a red-skinned lady who wore a crown with a purple jewel.
"I'm not here for you this time, sweetie. Even though you are fit for my purpose." She said, walking to the girl, and grabbing her chin. She got close to her ear.
"Perfectly fit." She said quietly, kissing the orange-skinned girl, solid on the lips. Sasuke continued to stare at this, as the crown wearing lass looked to him, a mischievous grin on her face. She pushed the other girl down, and continued forward towards Sasuke, who by now, had his palm on the handle of his katana. She slightly chuckled, and continued forward. When she finally reached him, he had his hand tightly gripping the sword.
"Don't worry, dear. I'm here to help you, not hurt you." She said. His eyes widened, as he loosened the grip of his katana. She put her hand on the top of his head, and pulled something out. It looked like a... Dark version of himself. It had a purple aura around it, and it's eyes were solid white.
"Thanks for freeing me. Now, let's get outta here before that shameful excuse of an Uchiha tries to stop us." He said. Sasuke immediately disappeared, and appeared next to the Dark Sasuke.
"What did you say about the Uchiha?" He said coldly, thrusting the tip of his blade to the neck of Dark Sasuke.
"I didn't say anything about the Uchiha, Sasuke. But you're a sorry excuse for one." He said, smiling. The suddenly disappeared, and Sasuke felt cold metal touch the back of his neck.
"You had the desire for revenge, and you let it go. Shameful indeed." He said. Sasuke was stuck right then. Immediately after that, he realized something. The orange skinned girl hadn't gotten up. He looked down at her, and she looked... Lifeless. Suddenly, he closed his eyes.
"Goodbye..." He thought to himself. He then felt shaking.
"Wake up!" Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry. It cleared up, revealing... The orange skinned girl. But he wasn't outside anymore. He was... In a bed?
"Are you alright.... Sasuke?" She asked. He looked her in the eyes. Then, she sighed.
"Listen, I know this may be difficult to comprehend, but.... Are you from Equestria?" She asked. He looked to his surroundings, seeing a window that revealed the outside. It looked... Industrial. He also looked down, revealing that he was in his shinobi boxers.
"Who are you?" He asked, staring out the window. She had a sorrowful look on her face.
"Before I can tell you anything, I'm gonna have to trust you. Can I?" She asked. He simply shrugged, putting a hand on his cheek. It was dry.
"It depends. Do you want me to not tell anyone?" He asked with a flat tone in his voice. She nodded, and got closer to him, causing him to lean back.
"My friends have already gone to school, and I've called in sick. So, we have all afternoon to talk. As long as you don't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you, then we can... What's the word?" She asked herself. Sasuke rolled his eyes, and leaned back.
"Okay then. You can trust me. Just hurry up, because I don't wanna waste my time here. Where am I, anyway?" He asked. She looked into his eyes, and she half smiled.
"Well, this is my apartment where you'll be staying for now." She said. He looked at her, confusion in his eyes. He was staying at her house?
"When did I agree to this?" He asked. She sighed.
"Listen. If you want the full truth, you've been sleeping for 3 days straight. I've basically been taking care of you, but your injuries don't seem to be healing well." She said, making him realize the pain in his body. He immediately knew what his only choice was. It was either stay with her, or go solo while injured.
"So...?" She asked, on all fours. She was on top of him on the bed, looking directly in his eyes.
"Fine. I'll tell you everything you need to know, and I'll stay." She smiled, and got off of him.
"Well, it will be nice to have some company. Would you like anything to eat?" She asked. He nodded, and she giggled.
"I think that me and you will get along just fine." She said, getting up. He then realized that he didn't know who she was.
"One more thing." He said, making her stop in her tracks. She looked back to him.
"You know who I am. How, I do not know. But it would only be fair if you told me your name." He said, a blank expression on his face. She smiled, because this was the first time after the incident that someone was willing to stick with her (besides her friends, of course).
"They call me Sunset Shimmer"
Dark Sasuke looked to Solar Eclipse.
"What's our plan?" He asked. Solar started to chuckle.
"You know, you're just as naïve as that... Boy." She said, putting her arm around his shoulder and staring into the empty eyes.
"We're going to wait for them to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets. It may take a while for them to get used to each other, but once that happens, they will be ours to manipulate." She said. He nodded, and looked up.
"Once they're ours, we will finally be free of our imprisonment. We will rule the world." He said, smiling and closing his eyes. He started to chuckle, which soon became a cackle. As he was cackling, he opened his eyes, revealing the Rinnegan.
