While Sasuke would be hopefully busy with Blake's surprise attack, Naruto took the chance to move in close and send a hit towards his throat. The fox faunus wasn't pulling any punches.

((Yeah, it really does. Wolfie is 23 and has never been to a concert...bleh. Anyway, something huge has to happen here, for Sasuke to beat Naruto, since it's two against one...))

(Wow, that does suck. And you're only four years younger than Phoenix. Hm...what about the Mangekyou and either Amaterasu or an arrow from his Susanoo?)

Sasuke blocked the surprise attack from Blake before sensing Naruto's jab to the throat and jumped away, but it was only barely that he was able to dodge both attacks.

((That would totally work. It has to knock out Blake as well, in order to kidnap her. Wolfie can't see Blake just being kidnapped while still conscious.))

Naruto swore under his breath, grinding his teeth together. He had gotten stronger over the years, but Sasuke had, as well. Charging up his blade, Naruto ran in again, this time with a water-based slash.

(Me neither. She did take out a horde of robots after all)

Sasuke channeled his Aura into his eyes, causing them to turn from their normal onyx to a demonic red. As such, he could see the water slash coming from Naruto, as well as the Dust-laden bullet that was going to come from Blake's weapon.

((Exactly.))

Naruto followed up the water slash with a a lightening-covered jab, hoping to catch his opponent off guard.

"Too slow," Sasuke muttered before ducking under the jab of lightning and unleashing a jab of his own, this time his fist covered in dark flame before following it up with a quick punch for a one-two combo. He had learned the secrets to the Blaze Style a few years ago, and with it, unlocked one of the three ultimate techniques that only an Uchiha could obtain: Amaterasu. He just had to time it right so that he could get both in one shot since it drained his Aura.

Naruto wasn't quick enough to dodge: he was too close already. No time, no room to even register that he had missed. He was hit before he knew what was happening. He went flying backwards, grunting in pain. What the hell was that?! He wondered, looking around to see if Blake was okay.

Blake was able to bring up a clone quick enough to take the brunt of the damage from whatever the attack was; however, it wasn't quick enough to protect the cat faunus from total harm. Unable to block the explosion or summon another clone to move her away from the blast radius, Blake was blown backwards before smacking her head into a tree. 'What was that...' was her last coherent thought before blacking out.

Naruto caught sight of Blake, unconscious several feet away from him. He went to get up and go to her, but found that his leg wouldn't support him. Did I land on it...? He shook his head. He'd have to crawl, then. And crawl he did, as fast as he could, towards Blake. "Blake-chan! Wake up!"

Sasuke saw Naruto crawling towards the female that helped him before racing towards the blonde, a sadistic grin coming on his face as he kicked the fox away from the cat. I thought that killing Hinata would have broken your spirit dobe, but I guess I was wrong. Perhaps that will change if I program this one to kill you in my place..." he said before moving over to Blake and picking her unconscious body up. Before Naruto could do anything to save her, Sasuke vanished, the dual-bladed weapon of Blake's clattered to the ground.

Naruto suppressed a grunt of pain as he was kicked away. He wanted to get up and attack Sasuke, especially when he picked up Blake, but he couldn't move. Next thing he knew, both Sasuke and Blake were gone. He was unaware of the tears that streaked down his face as he slowly stood up, limped over to pick up Blake's weapon, and headed back towards town. He had to get help, and fast.

Ark held most of the bags in his possession that held stuff that Hikari had bought. "You seriously need all these supplies?" he asked out of curiosity before they both saw Naruto limping down the road and holding onto something. "Naruto?" Ark asked, hoping that the fox could hear him...

Hikari was about to answer that maintenance was a very important part of owning a weapon, when she spotted Naruto limping towards them. "Naruto-san? Where's Blake-chan?"

Naruto was almost deleriously happy when he found Ark and Hikari. "G-guys...something bad...Sasuke attacked us...Blake-chan...he took her..." He said, when they were within hearing distance. "We have to go get her back. We need help..."

Areku cursed, knowing that this was far from good. Especially with Naruto about to ask Blake to be his girlfriend, or so he assumed. They had little options, but knew they needed to talk to Itachi and to the team that Blake was on. But first, Naruto needed medical attention. "We'll get her back Naruto. But first, you need to get medical assistance," he said, knowing they had to make their way back to Beacon.

Naruto shook his head. "No, we have to go after her now! He'll kill her. I can't let him..." He said, frustrated.

Hikari grabbed his arm. "Naruto-san, listen to me. He could have killed her before, right?" She waited for the fox to nod before continuing. "That means he won't try anything yet. He wants to hurt you, and to do that he needs Blake-chan alive. In order to save her, we need everyone at their best, so we are going back to Beacon. While someone takes care of your wounds, Ark-san and I will round up Itachi-sensei and the rest of team RWBY and explain what happened. With all of us, there's no way we can lose."

Bllake felt the cold wall behind her as she was chained to something, most likely a pipe if she could barely feel the floor below her. Not that she would want to at the moment since it was dripping wet and she had no shoes on. 'What happened...and where am I? she thought as she kept her eyes closed for the moment, using her senses to try and see if anyone else was inside the room. She didn't want to tip off the person that captured her...whoever that was. Right now, her memory was spotty at best and she could only truly remember a few things: like quitting the White Fang. 'Could it be an old member that recognized me?'

(Basically, trying to give it as Blake having some amnesia due to her hard hit before going unconscious and then being moved. Sasuke will most likely play on this and try to get her to go against Naruto and the others...if left for too long)

"She's right, you know. While you get yourself checked out, we'll talk and round up the others. We're not going to let Sasuke get away with taking your girlfriend Naruto," Ark said before nodding his head. "Though...can we borrow Blake's weapon? We can show it to the others so they know we aren't pulling a prank or anything," he asked.

((Sounds good to Wolfie.))

With a grimace, Naruto nodded and handed over Blake's weapon reluctantly. "All right...let's hurry up, then." He said, already starting back towards Beacon.

(thanks. And I don't know if I said this to you or not. But...episode 4 on Thursday...my god was that a good ep)

Ark took the weapon into his hands, making sure to be careful with it before he started heading back towards Beacon with Naruto and Hikari. He didn't want to think what Naruto was going through, knowing that if it was Hikari that was kidnapped, then he would be going mental himself.

((Oh, Wolfie didn't know that. She'll have to check it out!))

As soon as they reached the school, Hikari turned to Ark. "I'll find Itachi-sensei and get Naruto-san to the infirmary. Will you go and get team RWBY, and bring them there as fast as you can?" She asked.

"There is no need to find me, as I am right here." Itachi's voice sounded from their left, as the elder Uchiha stepped out of the shadows. "What happened, and why are you looking for so many people?" He asked.

"Something terrible happened. We'll talk about it when everyone is together." Naruto said impatiently.

(The attack names that Ruby shouts out are actually "Ship" names for the girls, which was a nice nod to the fans)

Ark nodded before heading to find Team RWBY, glad that the room they had wasn't so far away from the team that he was looking for.

"Ark?" Ruby asked after bumping into the white-haired male, wondering just where he was going before bumping into her...before seeing Blake's weapon. "Ark...why do you have Blake's weapon? she asked.

"I'll explain everything I promise Ruby. Can you get the others? This includes your team as much as it does mine," he said, hoping that Amaya was in their room.

(("Ship" as in "shipping" like relationships?))

Hikari led Naruto to the infirmary, with Itachi following closely. As soon as they got there, the nurse took the blonde and checked him out, leaving Hikari and Itachi to wait for him.

(Yeah)

Ruby nodded before asking Ark to follow her. Going back to the room she shared with the others, she was glad to see Weiss and her sister at the moment. "Alright...talk you. Why do you have Blake's weapon?" Ruby asked. Ark sighed and mumbled about pushy girls for a second before explaining that Sasuke had kidnapped Blake.

Once Naruto came back, and was cleared by the nurse, he met up with Hikari and Itachi, and they all headed tot he room team RWBY shared. "I got lucky. The nurse said my leg should have broken, but somehow it's fine." The fox faunus said as they walked.

"You probably heal faster than most, being a faunus." Hikari suggested, receiving a nod from both males. They got to the room quickly and knocked before entering. Itachi left to find Amaya.

Weiss looked up as Naruto and Hikari entered the room. "Hey, what's going on? Ark-san says Blake-chan was kidnapped. Explain, now." The heiress demanded.

"Relax, I'll explain everything as soon as Itachi-sensei gets back with Amaya-chan."

"You better Naruto," Weiss said as she crossed her arms across her chest, glaring at the fox.

"Weiss, calm down. Naruto promised he would tell us, and I'm pretty sure he will," Ruby said as she defended the fox faunus.

Amaya panted lightly but had a grin on her face. Sure she had a couple of bruises thanks to the fighting she was just in with Team CRNL. Despite her views on Faunus as a whole, she knew Velvet and wasn't going to let anyone bully her friend.

Itachi found Amaya and waved her down. "Miss Amaya-chan, I'm afraid we have a bit of a situation. I am supposed to bring you to meet your team right away." He said.
