Chapter 3: Trapped
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Superfluous and hollow. There was that damn feeling again, Sasuke thought, when he caught sight of Naruto Uzumaki's eyes. He was just talking to Mr. Iruka about him and their gazes met. Were those the same blue eyes that watched him the night he was setting up his work? He was too far away to tell. He was becoming increasingly annoyed as the man used his pink-haired friend as a shield and avoided his gaze like the plague. No one ignored Sasuke Uchiha.
Similar thoughts of being miffed and annoyed to the point of being angry dissipated the closer Sasuke that stepped towards Naruto. By the time he reachd the blond, the childish feelings were gone. The other man seemed to be taken with one of the most difficult scenes he had ever painted. Sasuke felt a bit disoriented. He felt as if he had fallen into the the stage of sleep where a dream finishes, but just before one awakens.
"The death of an angel." He whispered. Sasuke regretted saying anything when he found that it had startled the blond beside him.
"Almost seems real." Naruto replied.
"Yes, doesn't it?" Sasuke leaned forward to take a good look at Naruto's eyes. Yes. They were the same eyes he had seen that night. No, not just that night. Before that...definitely before that, as well.
Images fluttered inside Sasuke's mind. Scenes as if from a movie or a fairytale overtook his very thoughts. He moved closer to Naruto, feeling overwhelmed. Suddenly, the images tucked away, and it was as if he were suddenly awake. Taking a step back, Sasuke fought the urge to shake his head. Something strange was happening to his vision. He slowly lifted his gaze, looking at Naruto all the while. He felt feverish. His insides were warm and heat was drifting to an inconvenient part of his body at the time.
Within the span of that small moment, Sasuke decided that the only way to stop that feeling was to assure himself that Naruto stayed near him. Yes. There had to be some way to keep this blue-eyed man by his side. Everything in his being demanded him to. "Naruto Uzumaki?" He asked. "If it's not too much trouble, I would like for you to be my personal model."
He studied Naruto's expression. The blond was stunned, but he could have sworn that he saw a flicker of something else in his eyes. Something akin to acceptance, though the rest of his body language seemed to scream otherwise. "It doesn't have to be right away. I'll pay you ten times as much an hour and it could be at your own schedule. Please think about it. Your stature is...perfect."
After what seemed to be an inner battle, Naruto looked directly into Sasuke's eyes. "Does every other evening sound ok?"
Sasuke fought the feral grin that threatened to sneak onto his face. "Every other evening would be great," He agreed. "Could you start tomorrow?" At Naruto's nod, Sasuke's entire being became at ease.

"Damn!" The angel Sasuke cursed. He was holding a sapphire shard to the entrance of a small cavern-sized hole near the core of Yainehm. "I can't get this one completely sealed."
"I don't know why we have to seal them," Naruto sighed. He was holding a Topaz shard on his end of the cavern. "The holes will still be here, only they will be more like bubbles instead. We should just face the fact that Yainehm is turning into Swiss cheese."
"Don't you get it?" Barked Sasuke. "The more holes that appear, the weaker Yainehm becomes. Soon, there will be no Yainehm."
"But, it's lasted this long, hasn't it?" Naruto mused. "It should be able to handle a few more generations. At least until we find a way to transfer to another planet."
"I don't believe in miracles," Sasuke huffed, rolling his eyes and doubling his efforts to seal the hole.
"Well you should," Naruto countered in a serious tone while getting back to sealing his side. "It's a miracle we're even alive now."
"Less talking, more working," Sasuke chastised. "Do you always have to talk so much?"
Before the blond angel could reply, the ground slid beneath them as their area began to shake. Naruto was knocked into Sasuke. Sasuke held the blond's shoulders and tried to steady them.
"What is that!?" Naruto yelled above the noise.
Sasuke searched frantically with his eyes, that had taken on a red hue. "Another hole is forming! Bigger than the others! We have to move!"
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hands and the two angels flew out of the cavern-like hole. As they fled, they followed a hollow tunnel that was connected to the surface. They flew higher and higher. Chunks of earth and rock crumbled and fell around them. Somewhere in the middle of their ascent, Naruto was hit with one of them. Their linked hands were separated.
"Naruto!" Exclaimed Sasuke. Without thinking, he flew down, pulling Naruto into another hole, and pinning him to the cavern-like wall. The mantle of the planet continued to shake around them. A large piece of rock descended nearby, roughly scraping Sasuke's back. The boys went down on their knees, Naruto clinging to Sasuke's arms.
"Sasuke," Naruto's eyes widened as he saw the rubble that was behind them. "Sasuke, we're trapped!"
Sasuke hissed in pain. "You're so reckless," He whimpered without any real spite behind it. That was when Naruto noticed Sasuke's wounds.
"And just who asked you to come after me?" Naruto countered as he forced Sasuke to lay upside down on the ground. Naruto reached behind his own back to pluck out three feathers.
"Don't," Sasuke gasped. "The less feathers you have..."
Naruto ignored him and placed his feathers on Sasuke's back. Almost instantly, they began to heal the raven-haired angel. "Doesn't matter. I can still beat you to becoming the anchor, even if my wings are completely bald."
Sasuke's eyes softened. So, it was a life for a life, was it? He carefully sat up and looked at their surroundings carefully. "Looks like we're really trapped."
"If you're trying to make me panic more," Naruto whined. "It's working."

"Does every other evening sound ok?" Sakura mimicked Naruto's voice. "You should have seen the look on their faces, Ino. Sasuke's was like he had just won the lotto and Naruto's was like a little lost puppy."
"Will you quit it already?" Naruto sighed. "Like I said before, I don't know what came over me."
"Maybe it was the black-haired cutie's smile," Ino teased. "Is he really as cute as Sakura says?"
"Girl, he was downright hot," Sakura added with a wink. "Alas, he had only eyes for Na-ru-to."
"Stop it!" The blond hid his blushing face in his hands. "I'm so confused."
"Don't be," Ino pressed. "It's better that you accept it now."
"I'm not gay," Naruto complained. "Am I?" He slid down in his chair. "Maybe I am. It just doesn't make sense. I've always liked girls."
"Mmhmm," Sakura began. "And yet how many of them have you slept with?"
"I don't have to sleep with them to like them!" Naruto argued.
"Exactly," Ino nearly sang. "But, this guy turns you on, doesn't he?" Ino laughed as Naruto's face turned red. "Rings of the truth."
"Why? WHY am I still friends with you girls?" Naruto cried, but without really meaning it.
"Because," Sakura explained with a grin, "We're about the only girls who won't ever try to get into your pants."
"But, now that you've accepted you're at least bi-sexual," Ino declared, "Some of the guys might."
"God, why?" Naruto groaned. He dreaded the rest of the day. He promised to model for Sasuke that evening. He didn't know whether he wanted the day to go by slower or faster, not that his friends were helping him any. All of them were busy and led separate lives, but he met a few of them at a time whenever they had the same days off. That morning, he promised to hang with some of the girls.
Naruto liked spending time with his friends. But, he was usually the one doing the teasing, not the other way around. And yet, all of his comrades refused to waste the opportunity to tease him about just about anything, apparently. After he survived this, his mental note would be to never go overboard with teasing any of his friends ever again.
