"Suzuki. Suzuki? Suzuki!"
Suzuki Uchiha, age 14, lifted her head up in shock and looked at her raven haired teammate.
"What do you want Hiro?" She asked with a yawn.
"You fell asleep, AGAIN!" Hiro said angrily at his teammate's laziness.
"Oh sorry Hiro. I didn't get any sleep last night." Suzuki said.
"Ever since we become ANBU you haven't gotten any sleep, what gives?" Hiro asked.
"Well can you blame her Hiro? Two weeks after we became ANBU she was promoted to ANBU captain. Being captain isn't exactly the easiest job." Kenji said coolly
"What he said." Suzuki mumbled and laid her head back down on the table.
She, Kenji, and Hiro were at the Hyuga mansion studying for their next mission.
"Suzuki why don't you go back home now?" Kenji said, noticing his female teammate's exhaustion.
"I can't, we have to prepare ourselves for the mission." Suzuki said turning a page in her book.
"Well the mission isn't for a week from now. Maybe you should rest for now Suzuki." Hiro said.
"Fine. Besides I haven't seen Oto-san and Oka-chan in a while. We came back from that last mission and got assigned another." Suzuki said with a sigh. "I'll catch you guys later."
"Ja ne." Hiro and Kenji said.
The onyx eyed ANBU captain left the room and walked home to meet her parents.
"Hey Kenji?"
"Nani?"
"Why aren't you and Suzuki going out?" Hiro asked.
Kenji nearly choked on his spit when he heard Hiro's question. "Why are you asking me that you dobe!" Kenji choked out
"Well, remember when Suzuki got hurt?" Hiro asked.
Kenji looked back at his memory, he pictured Suzuki's face. Beaten and bruised, and blood trickling down the ends of her mouth. He remembered the twisted feeling he got in the pit of his stomach when he looked into her dull and lifeless black eyes. Her eyes had always been filled with youth and happiness, but the day she was so badly injured, was the first time her eyes were dead.
Kenji shook off the horrid memory and looked down.
"Unfortunately yes I do Hiro," Kenji mumbled. "What of it?"
"Well the day you confessed how much you loved her, and then about a year later you kissed her." Hiro said, then noticed Kenji's blush.
"How did you know that?" Kenji asked.
"Well Suzuki's mom told my mom, who told my dad, who told me." Hiro said with his signature grin.
"Meh……" Kenji mumbled.
"Anyway! You guys are still avoiding each other! It's annoying!" Hiro snapped.
"Well it's none of your business, H-I-R-O!!" Kenji snapped back.
"You act as if nothing happened! I see how you look at her everyday, why don't you just say it!" Hiro yelled.
"Hiro. Suzuki and I are best friends, we're practically blood! I'm not gonna ruin it between us by asking her out. So just leave me alone!" Kenji yelled back.
"Rrrrgh! Fine! Be and idiot! I'm going home!" Hiro yelled.
"You live here you dobe!" Kenji yelled smugly.
"Then I'm gonna go to my room smartass!" Hiro yelled and stormed off.
"Ahhh! Dammit!" Kenji yelled in frustration and punched the table.
"Now Kenji," Neji said to his son, walking in the room. "No need to yell and use that kinda language."
"Sorry Oto-san." Kenji mumbled.
"What's wrong? Did you and your cousin get in another argument?" Neji asked.
"Yea, but I'd rather not talk about it. I'm going to get some sleep." Kenji said and exited the room.
Neji sighed and looked at the picture of his son and the Uchiha's daughter.
"My son, so clueless about his crush." Neji mumbled. "He doesn't realize how stubborn he is. Hiro's right though."

Suzuki stuck her hands in her pockets and sighed as she entered the Uchiha compound. How long had it been since she last step foot in her home, she wondered. She walked slowly to her house, and walked in.
"Oto-san!" Suzuki cried like a little girl. She spotted her father at the ends of the stairs and jumped on him.
"Ah! Suzuki!" Sasuke screamed and fell backwards and landed on the ground.
Suzuki laughed at her father's actions and held tight around his neck.
"It's good to be home at last." Suzuki mumbled.
"I missed you my daughter." Sasuke said and wrapped his arms around his daughter's slender waist.
"Where's Oka-chan?" Suzuki asked.
"In the kitchen, she's making our favorite tonight." Sasuke said as his daughter ended he hug.
"Yes! Come on I want to see her!" Suzuki said and ran toward the kitchen.
Sasuke chuckled to himself, although Suzuki was a teenager she still acted like a little girl that just came home from school and missed her parents. But he loved looking at his daughter's youthfulness and spirit. She reminded him of Sakura sometimes.
Sasuke walked in the kitchen to find his fourteen year old daughter and his wife both at the stove. Suzuki was stirring some liquid in the pot and Sakura was making rice balls. Sasuke walked over to his wife and daughter and wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist and kissed her neck.
"Sasuke, Suzuki's here, not now." Sakura whispered to her husband.
"Hm." Suzuki mumbled. "You two didn't create me a little brother or sister while I was gone did you?"
Sakura blushed madly at her daughter's question. Suzuki noticing her mother's reaction laughed madly. Sasuke shot a glare at his daughter and gave her a look that said "you have five seconds to run"
Suzuki stuck out her tongue and ran out of the kitchen, soon Sasuke followed. After Sakura could hear Suzuki screaming with laughter as Sasuke caught her.
Sakura sighed inwardly "They are gonna drive me insane." She mumbled to herself.

That night Suzuki laid in her bed staring out the window, finding it hard to sleep.
"Oh sure, during the day I have no problem falling asleep, but at night I always do." She mumbled to herself and sat up in her bed.
She brought her knees to her chest and sighed, and then she suddenly felt someone's chakra presence outside the Uchiha compound. "Kenji….what does he want?" she thought to herself.
She jumped out of bed and put on her black flip-flops; she jumped out the window and made her way to the front gates of the Uchiha village.
"What is it Kenji?" Suzuki asked when she made it outside the gates.
Kenji was wearing black pants but no shirt, his eyes were dull, almost lifeless, and he had bags under his eyes as well. Suzuki blushed when she noticed that he wasn't wearing a shirt, revealing his bare and muscular torso.
Kenji noticed that she was in nothing but a pair of black short shorts and a purple tank top with the Uchiha symbol on the back. He had never seen her like this before, he knew that she hated wearing skirts or short shorts, but she wore a pair as pajamas. He had never actually seen her legs so clearly she had always hid her thighs with bandages or pants. He blushed to himself with embarrassment and at how attractive she looked.
"Umm, I couldn't sleep. My parents got assigned a mission a couple of hours ago." Kenji said.
"Oh…well isn't Hiro there?" Suzuki asked.
"Yea, but you know how he is when someone wakes him up." Kenji said.
"Ok. So you came all the way over here to do what?" Suzuki asked.
"I-I don't know." Kenji mumbled.
Suzuki sighed, "Come on Hyuga-kun, follow me." She said and pulled him by the hand.
They walked all the way over to the Hokage monument, the place where they had had their first kiss.
"Won't your parents get, mad if your not home sleeping?" Kenji asked.
"No. I used to always come here when I was little. Whenever I couldn't sleep I would come here and think about stuff or whenever I had a nightmare." Suzuki said sitting on the ground.
"Nightmare?" Kenji asked sitting next to her.
"Yea, everyone has nightmares sometimes Kenji." Suzuki said.
"What about?"
"Huh?"
"What was one nightmare you had when you were little?" he asked.
"Well I had this one where I was crying, because I just found out that my dad died on a mission. I was so little and my mom was so sad. I blamed myself the entire time. Shortly after my dad died my mom….she….she…." Suzuki explained, but the last part she tried to hold back her tears.
"She what?" Kenji asked, getting closer to his teammate.
Suzuki looked down at her feet sadly. "She killed herself….right in front of me."
Kenji noticed her sad expression and immediately felt guilt coil in the pit of his stomach, he immediately regretted bringing up the subject. "Suzuki" He mumbled looking down.
"But it was just a dream. I woke up crying and I ran out of the house, then I found myself here, at this spot. Ever since then I would come here whenever I had a nightmare and get rid of all the horrible images in my head." Suzuki said and wiped her tear that was threatening to slide down her cheek.
"I'm sorry. I should've never asked. Gomen." Kenji said
"It's okay Kenji. You don't have to be sorry." Suzuki said with a smile.
"How is it, that you always managed a smile, even when your suffering on the inside?" Kenji asked.
