A/N:What if Sasuke was sucked into another world when he was only twelve years old at the battle of the valley of the end and met none other than the mysterious child of ill omen, Lacie Baskerville, herself? Will he figure out what to do in this weird world? I have seen many Naruto/PH crossovers, though none of them are done very well. I got sick of that, so I decided I wanted to do my take on it. It would be easier for me to use Sasuke because he seems to be an under appreciated character in crossover fics. It's always Naruto meets so-so and Sasuke meets so-and-so. SasukeXLacie is the pairing.

One: Where the heck am I?

Sasuke Uchiha smirked as he regarded his friend and former teammate, Naruto Uzumaki. The twelve-year old was on his knees, panting hard. Sasuke had used the curse mark that Orochimaru had given him as a gift, and had transformed into his cursed form. He flinched. He knew that keeping this up was really hard to do for too much longer.

'It's eating away at my body. I need to keep this up for a while longer.'

He blinked as he saw Naruto struggling to his feet, his red eyes full of interest. "Sasuke, I won't let you go with Orochimaru!" He hissed.

"Naruto, why don't you just die already? Then I will be able to achieve Mangekyo Sharingan and kill my brother!"

Naruto got up and glared at him. "Sasuke, is revenge all you think about? There's more to life than that!"

"Like what, Naruto?" Sasuke sneered. "You've never had to deal with the pain of losing your family."

"You're like my family! Team 7 is my family!" Naruto said, tears rolling down his face.

Sasuke just rolled his eyes. "You always have been too weak, Naruto. That's your flaw."

"Sasuke, I thought we were friends," Naruto remarked before coughing.

"I don't know how on earth you got those weird powers, Naruto, but this ends...now!" Sasuke said as his Chidori shone brightly in his hands. Naruto nodded.

"I guess there's no way out of it, then," Naruto said. Both of them gave each other a sad smile. An image of their childhood selves appeared. They charged at each other, but before the attacks met, a voice entered Sasuke's ears, or rather his mind.

My, my, aren't you a foolish one? May I speak with you? You seem like such a fool, fighting against your best friend when all he wants to do is bring you happiness. What a fool you are. In the end, that will send you down the wrong path.

'Shut the hell up, whoever you are,' Sasuke muttered under his breath. 'I do not need help from a stranger.'

'Oh, I'm afraid you WILL need my help, boy. I'm going to make you pay for your arrogance.'

The two attacks collided, and all Sasuke felt was a wave of agony and pain beyond compare as he passed out.

Whenever he awoke, he found himself surrounded by nothing but black. Inky blackness, much like his eye color. Sasuke smirked. Well, this was always what he'd seen in his life. He raised his hand up in front of his face and blinked for a few moments. He realized that he couldn't even see it.

Suddenly, a light appeared and he found he was in a room of some sort. 'Am I in Orochimaru's hideout?' he thought as he stood up. He realized then that he was in some child's room. There were red-and-black tiles beneath his feet in some sort of artistic fashion that he'd never seen before. Yes, this definitely wasn't his house, full of solemn Uchiha symbols.

He gazed down at himself, only to realize in shock that he was in his normal state, albeit without the headband. 'Now, if I can find Orochimaru and get out of here,' he thought. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard hissing noises. Sasuke stood up in alarm to see a black cat with a red-eye clutching his leg with his sharp claws.

"Let go of me!" Sasuke demanded. "I don't know who you are, but I have to see Orochimaru!"

"No, you won't!" The cat said. It was actually talking, which made Sasuke jump. "I am Cheshire, nyaa. The mistress wishes to see you, nyaa, and you will not refuse an order from someone as important as she is, nyaa."

Sasuke sneered as he looked at the cat with disdain in his eyes. "Well, if this mistress is so important, why doesn't she come out and speak to me herself?"

Suddenly, he heard a bunch of giggling come from behind him. Sasuke whirled around to find a whole shelf full of dolls that had suddenly come to life. Now they were all laughing at him.

"Hee hee, the black-haired one is a fool! A fool, he is! Much like the fool we knew before, who picked on Alice!"

"Yes, he reminds us of that little whiny crybaby who whined every time Alice tormented his little brother!"

"Wah wah, wah, wah..."

Suddenly, a black rabbit floated down from the shelf and stared at Sasuke. "Say, what's your name, red-eyed one? Are you a Child of Ill Omen?"

"How can you guys talk?" Sasuke said, wondering what kind of genjutsu this was. Whatever jutsu it was, it was quite...well, frightening.

A blond-haired doll smacked him in the face then. "You're not a very nice boy, are you? You're a mean boy, and mean boys need to be punished for their sins. They're sinners. You must be an illegal contractor. Why doesn't the mistress just cut off your hands?"

All of them started to make a commotion until a white rabbit floated off the shelf with an ordinary smile on its face. It studied Sasuke. "You look just like the one I hate...the one with black hair...Glen, how I hate him. He tried to take my beloved away from me."

Sasuke smacked the doll away. "Who the hell are you?"

The doll started to chuckle. "Ooh, you're scared of me, aren't you?" Suddenly the doll's smile turned twisted and bloody tears came out of its eyes and landed on Sasuke and its eyes took on a crazed expression. "Are you scared of me? Are you? Are you? Are you? Are you? That's fun! I like seeing your scared face!"

Sasuke suddenly felt a little afraid. "If this is a genjutsu, wake me now!" He demanded as his Sharingan activated.

"Oh, you're a cursed one, aren't you? What lovely red eyes you have...I mean, Cheshire only has one," She said before turning back to look at the red-eyed cat, and then back to Sasuke. "Say..." Suddenly, a human hand appeared from the rabbit and touched his forehead and then hovered over his eye. "Why don't I take your eye?"

Sasuke stepped back. Upon seeing the fear in his eyes, the rabbit just laughed. "Don't worry about that eye-" But he had had enough.

He activated his Chidori and hit the rabbit's ear with it, knocking its ear off. Much to his horror, blood came spurting out of its ear as it fell to the ground, screaming and howling.

"Now, now, that's enough, my stupid puppet. Looks like that one is worthless. Everyone, please quiet down. As you can all see, you've scared him so much that he wound up hurting one of my precious dolls."

The dolls all glared at him. "Why don't we kill him? He hurt one of us!" One shouted.

"Yeah, kill the child of Ill omen!"

Sasuke blinked in confusion. He had no idea what the hell was going on here, but he needed to see Orochimaru. He wasn't still in Konoha. "Is this a genjutsu? Because if it is, let me out of it!"

His eyes widened as he saw a white-haired girl step out from the shadows. To say that she was pretty was an understatement. Rather, she was magnificent. He'd never seen so much white before in his life. She wore a white dress that was very beautiful and had a blue rose on the neck. She held a blue rabbit doll lovingly in her arms and smiled at him warmly as she danced around.

She appeared to be around his age, and yet her white hair was so long that it flowed past her waist. Her eyes were a deep lavender. An innocent little grin crossed her face as she tipped Sasuke's chin up to meet her own and studied him.

"My, my. So, what is your name? You certainly are handsome. My name is Alice, or you can call me Alyss!"

"Alice...what sort of name is that?" Sasuke asked.

"It's the name my twin sister and I were given when we were born. But she is a traitor. She betrayed me and became a chain. Now she is the Bloody Black Rabbit. How I hate her!"

"Is the B-rabbit coming here? We hate her, how we hate the B-rabbit!" The dolls shrieked. "We hate the B-rabbit!"

Then, Alyss's smile grew sad for a moment. "But she wasn't originally the real B-rabbit. There was someone else who was...but he is now living an ordinary life as a container for the B-rabbit's power..."

"B-rabbit this, chain, that, you're not making any sense, dammit! Tell me what's going on!" Sasuke protested.

"My, my, aren't you interesting? Tell me, what is your name, Child of Ill Omen?"

"It's Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke. Now, tell me where I am!"

"Why, you're down in the Abyss, of course! I don't know why on earth you were called down here, but you must have SOME wish you want me to grant!"

"Wish? The only wish I have is to leave my village and become stronger!"

"To become stronger, huh? I see...you have suffered great tragedy in the past and you want to kill your brother. Kuh kuh kuh, even though you don't even realize that your brother did it for your benefit! You'd be such a fool if you were to kill them, because he cares for you above all else, and yet you wish to kill him!"

Sasuke immediately glared at her and lifted her up by the neck, but the cat-man intervened and grabbed Sasuke by the throat and started to choke him.

"Nobody touches my mistress and gets away with it!" He hissed.

"Cheshire," Alyss said calmly, fixing a steely gaze at the cat, "Put him down, he is not to be harmed."

She turned to him. "You seem to have your wits about you. You're quite a sprightly human. It's not often that I see humans like you." She had a sad smile present on her lips. "Perhaps you could do me a favor. Your attitude needs some adjusting. Little child of Ill omen, I would like your eyes."

"No, you can't have my eyes," He protested.

"Ooh, then why don't I take your curse seal? The thing that has given you so much pain? Don't you wish to be rid of it?"

"Well, um, maybe," Sasuke said. He felt a great pain enter him all of a sudden and a few seconds later, he realized Alyss was holding the mark in her arms, studying it intently.

"My, my, how lovely this is! I think I will give it to a chain to eat. There's simply too much negative energy for even a being like me to wield it. I can send you..."

"Can you send me back to my world?" Sasuke demanded.

She snickered. "Maybe I can...kuh kuh kuh. Or, how about this? I changed my mind...I'm going to send you back so you can meet Jack! Maybe, just maybe, you can save him from Glen and his evil!" She said. "Please save Jack...save Glen, and save my mother!"

"What?" Sasuke cried, but before he could say anything more, a portal opened up beneath him. The girl was smirking and she laughed coldly. "Hey, you tricked me! I thought you were going to send me back to my world!"

"I was going to...but I changed my mind. See you later, little red-eyed boy!" She said as the last thing Sasuke knew was darkness.

Damn you, Naruto. Damn you, Itachi. I'm going to kill you.

He could feel himself being slammed up against a wall. His half-lidded eyes saw Itachi looming over him, his face filled with hatred. "You are still worthless, Sasuke. You haven't grown at all. Instead, you lack hatred. You know what that means, don't you? You do not have enough hatred..."

Hatred...hatred...hatred...hatred...

That was the only word drifting through his currently unconscious mind. Slowly, he opened his eyes, only to notice the bright sunlight in his eyes. "Huh? What the hell was that weird dream about? I should go find Orochimaru-" As he shielded his eyes from the sun, and he turned to the side and blinked. "What?" Sasuke said.

He found that he was lying in an alleyway. It was a bright, sunny day, and yet...he felt cold all of a sudden. He realized that it was...snowing. He looked around and saw people dressed in all kinds of old-fashioned outfits. Many of them stuck their noses up at him when they saw him.

"Where are you from, Onii-chan?" A young boy said, striding up to Sasuke.

The child only blinked at him for a moment before he ran back to his mother, screaming. "Mama, he's a cursed child! His eyes turned red!"

Now all of the people were turning to look at Sasuke. Sasuke realized that his Sharingan was activated. "What? It's just the Sharingan." He scoffed.

"Cursed child! Get out of our sight, cursed child!"

Sasuke had never been treated this way before. He had always been thought of as a prodigy. "I'm a prodigy!" He cried.

"Leave us, you wretched human being! You do not deserve to exist on this planet!" They cried as they threw stones at a terrified Sasuke, who ran away. He had never been looked at like this. He didn't like this feeling very much. He now understood how Naruto felt, being feared and looked at with hatred.

He tried to activate his curse seal, but he felt nothing at all. 'That damn girl took it from me!' He wasn't used to feeling so weak without it. Even though his chakra levels were normal...without the curse mark, he felt incomplete. 'Orochimaru, if this is one of your tricks, I'll murder you in your sleep. Itachi...if this is all some genjutsu you're playing on me while I'm in the hospital, I'll really make you regret it!'

He ran into an alley and tried hard not to freeze, using some of his fire jutsu to keep himself warm, and it worked for a little while. 'Of all the ways I'd die, I never thought I'd freeze to death. This is a stupid way to go.' He frowned and shuddered.

Suddenly, he heard light footsteps and then an unfamiliar voice entered his ears, lilting and soothing, like that of an angel. "Hey, you're not totally covered. Silly little boy, you'll catch a cold if you stay out in a place like this."

Sasuke blinked for a few moments. The voice reminded him a lot of Alyss, the girl he had met down in the Abyss. He gazed up into the eyes of a girl with red eyes just like his. She had long black hair that flowed down past her waist. If anything, she reminded him of his mother. For some reason, she was wearing a dress in the middle of winter. Sasuke had to raise an eyebrow at the odd fashion choice, but otherwise said nothing.

"Hn," He grunted.

"Aren't you cold," She said. "In both ways. My name is Lacie. Tell me what yours is." She watched him for a reaction and when he just grunted and turned away, she pouted and stretched his gums out. "Hey, what's with the cold shoulder? I don't like being ignored!"

"Ah...put my jaw back in place," Sasuke moaned.

"Not until you tell me what your name is, silly boy," She shot back.

"Please..." He said. "Please, annoying girl, put my jaw in place." He didn't expect to be smacked in the face.

'"Don't call me annoying! My name isn't annoying, it's Lacie!"

'I already know that,' he thought in annoyance before rubbing his jaw. 'At least she let me go.'

"Hn, just leave me alone." He grunted.

"How could I leave a Child of Misfortune alone?"

"What's a Child of Misfortune?" He asked.

"Oh, you don't know? Your parents must have never taught you what they were. Children like us...children with red eyes are said to bring about disasters..."

Sasuke thought back to the Uchiha massacre and Itachi. Oddly enough, he found himself agreeing with the girl. "I suppose you could say that."

"So, what's your name? Jack? Harris? Glen? Oswald, or Oz? Maybe your name is Mr. Frowny-pants?" She taunted.

"Shut it," He retorted.

"Hey, that's not the way to talk to someone like me!" She admonished.

"Why are you wearing a dress in the middle of winter? Are you nuts?" He said dryly.

"Maybe," She said before shrugging. "I think I'm going to keep you company and cheer you up, Mr. Grumpy person!" Before Sasuke could even move away, she was huddling next to him. She embraced him in a hug, much to the Uchiha's embarrassment.

"You feel warm. You must work out a lot," She whispered.

"Let go of me!" Sasuke cried before he pushed her away. "Why are you holding a stranger like me? What is wrong with you?"

"Oh, you finally asked me a question, fellow child of Ill Omen! Are you suddenly interested in me now? Tell me, what's your name?" She said, her head tilted to one side.

"Hn."

"Are you gonna say anything besides Hn?" Lacie protested.

"Hn."

"Stop grunting and answer me!" She said before huffing.

Something about this girl was awfully cute and unusual. "My name is...Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha."

"Sasuke? That almost sounds like gay. Are you gay?" She taunted.

"No, I'm NOT gay," Sasuke retorted.

"Well, then, Mr. Sasuke, I suppose you and I are friends now."

"Friends? I don't need friends. If you don't mind me, I'll be on my way-OWW!"

He didn't expect Lacie to grab ahold of his hair. "Hold it, buster, you're staying righttttt here, with me, whether you like it or not!"

"I don't want to-" But upon seeing her cast a menacing stare, he decided to back off.

"My rabbit friend will teach you some good manners," She said.

"Rabbit friend?"

"Yeah, here he is," She said before snapping her fingers, and then a giant rabbit appeared out of her shadow.

"Uhhh...I don't need to see your rabbit friend." Sasuke whimpered.

"Come out, B-rabbit," She said and the enormous black rabbit appeared, with crimson red eyes. It wore a crown on its head. It stared at him in interest. "Shall I kill him, Mistress?" He asked.

"Does it have a name?" Sasuke asked.

"Oz. Oz the B-rabbit." Lacie said.

"Oz? That's a dumb name." Sasuke said.

"Hey, it's his name," Lacie added. "No, he's no threat. He's just annoying."

The rabbit sweat-dropped before it vanished into her shadow.

"What is that, exactly?"

"Oz is my chain, and I'm his contractor. A chain is a species that is different from humans. They're basically used as weapons."

"Even though they have sentience?" Sasuke said skeptically.

"Basically. They just make a contract with us and agree to protect us as long as we fulfill their wish." Lacie explained. "Anyway, I probably shouldn't have summoned my chain..."

Suddenly, they were surrounded by men in red cloaks.

"LACIE, WE FOUND YOU! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? WHY DID YOU SUMMON YOUR RABBIT?"

"Oh, I just wanted to show my friend," She said.

"Has he harmed you in any way, Lacie-sama?" One asked.

A man with white hair removed his hood and smiled at Sasuke. "Hello, newcomer, what is your name? Mine is Fang. We will not hurt you, as long as you answer our questions. Where are you from?"

Sasuke didn't even blink. "I'm from another world."

Lacie's jaw dropped. "Interesting. Maybe the Core of the Abyss sent you here."
