Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Every human has limits. No matter how formidable or indestructible they seem. Sooner or later, when they reach the edge, all it takes is the slightest push and they tumble down into the deepest trench of despair. Sometimes, there is no turning back. When you've fallen so deep that you can't see the light anymore. When have you forgotten there was even light and warmth to begin with and all you are accustomed to is the lonely bed of agony you lie upon.

Sasuke…
Are you ever coming back? Will I ever have the strength to bring you home?
Why…Why am I so weak?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry Sakura chan. Your wish of a life time... I've failed it so many times I've lost count. This time was no exception.

Every time I see you Sasuke, time stops. My breath catches and my chest aches. You…Why are you the only one I cant save!? My closest friend, my most treasured bond. I'll do anything to save you…I'll spend the rest of my life trying to rescue you if I have to! There's not a day I live without feeling the pain of you not being in Konoha.
Can you see what you are doing to me? I'm breaking apart. My sanity is deteriorating and my obsession is growing. Why? Why do I hurt so much?

One more time…just let me see you… are you okay? What have you gone through when you left?

This…Obsession of mine…Is driving me insane. I can't bring you back…I couldn't save you…I'm sorry.

"Naruto…" The pale teen softly spoke in the shadows. When Naruto didn't respond Sai swiftly made his way in front of him and put strong, reassuring arms on smaller blonds' shoulder.

"I found out one of the guys near Konoha working under Orochimaru. He should know where Sasuke is."

Naruto immediately snapped to attention, eager to hear more.

"Where is this guy?" Naruto asked with renewed fervor.

"This guy is a very accomplished ninja so be careful. You need to really get to him without raising suspicion in order to get to Sasuke." The calm teen said evenly.

"All right, all right, where the hell is this guy?!" Naruto asked impatiently.

"Down at the Black Mamba strip bar. You should be able to get a thing or two about Sasuke without causing trouble if you're careful."

"I'll just use a henge! He won't be able to resist my sexy no jutsu." The mischievous blond snickered.

"Don't use a henge. He will be able to tell. That's why I brought this…"

Sai held up, in all it's shining glory, the most provocative peach colored two piece outfit with a loose midnight black skirt so short it could be mistaken as an overly large belt and a frilly lace top with a black ribbon corset in the middle..

"Where the hell do you get all these weird clothing?!" The blushing blond sputtered.

"And what the hell?! I can't wear this as a dude! Think of my pride! Isn't there another way?" His face beet red in the thought of slipping that on with no disguise.

"Well…You can always ask Sakura san for help…" Sai contemplated.

"Oh frickin' hell no. Gimme that." Naruto roared in a determined voice.

"With pleasure." The black haired teen grinned.

"Shut up Sai". Naruto fumed as he whacked Sai in the back of his head.

"Good luck, dickless." Sai smiled disturbingly.

A/N

There might be a continuation to explain the situation. If I do chose to continue, expect lots of alcohol, angst, cross dressing? and drastic measures to bring Sasuke back. Reviews are the food for my fingers ^_^. Keep me typing? 3
