A figure crouched in the window, the moonlight casting a shadow across the room. Silently,ithopped to the floor andshifted to the person in the small bed. The figure brushed a lock of raven hair out of Uchiha Sasuke's sleeping face. Moonlight shown on the face of the intruder, and it seemed that it was female. She frowned as she guided her fingers down the side of his cheek.
"Oh, Sasuke, I wish you knew of my existence. It pains me to hide from you." The voice, hardly audible over the rustling of leaves outside, caused Sasuke to stir. Slowly, the girl pulled her hand away from where it had been lingering on his cheek. Giving one last look at the sleeping shinobi, she turned slowly to exit through the window.
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes. A few seconds later, after his vision had adjusted to the darkness, he saw something that he had never expected to see on another person. In front of him was the red and white fan that symbolized the Uchiha clan. Quickly, he grabbed the wrist of the person whom wore the symbol.
The girl felt a pressure on her wrist. The hand which had grabbed her tightened its hold when she didn't turn around. Reluctantly, she sighed and turned to face Sasuke.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?" He questioned, demandingly. He stood up to face the invader, and noticed she was the same height as he was. From what he could see in the dim room, she had blonde hair pulled back in some unknown style and black, piercing eyes that were somehow similar to his own.
The girl's eyes shifted down to his hand, which was still tightly clasped around her wrist, and then to his eyes. They looked annoyed, yet…curious. She sighed slightly, debating in her mind on what she should do.
Should I tell him why I'm here? Or should I lie to him? No, definitely no lying. He would never trust me if I ever decide to tell him in the future. I could always knock him out. Oh wait, I can't for two reasons: he's a skilled shinobi and would probably catch on to what I was doing, and…he's still holding my wrist. I guess I'll just tell him.
"My name is Sokota," Her voice was soft, yet firm. "And I'm here because I come to check on you every night."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow curiously. He remembered Orochimaru saying her name before. It was mentioned on occasion, as if it was nothing important. A simple "I must go see Sokota." or "Sokota killed another one." He had asked questions of this mysterious girl, but never got any informative answers. Orochimaru would simply answer, "She is a skilled kunoichi of the Sound." Sasuke accepted this answer, but he had still felt like he had heard of her somewhere else.
"Why do you check on me?" He questioned further, tightening his grip to the point where Sokota started to lose feeling in her fingers.
Sokota took a deep breath. She had hoped he wouldn't ask that question, but it was too late now. This was it. He'd finally know that which had been hidden from him for seven years.
"I check on you because I worry about my family member." She responded.
Squee! I finally uploaded my first fanfiction. I'm halfway done with the second chapter. :)
I hope you'll review and tell me if you think it's even worth updating.
