Owww," I moaned unhappily as I stumbled through the dense forest towards the hidden leaf village. My feet, plus a shoulder wound I had got when two ninjas attacked me, were killing me. I had to stay alert. Those assassins were probably still looking to finish the job they had started. I heard voices, so I dropped into a low crouch. One adult and 3 kids were talking while they trained. One with black hair suddenly disappeared. You felt something behind you and saw the kid with black hair. Shoot you think as he lunges at you. You fight him, but your tired and injured, so he wins easily. He drags you back towards the others, saying, "I found her spying on us, she was behind those bushes."

"Hmmmm," The adult says, "she's hurt. Take her to the hospital but guard her, we need to find out why she followed us." The black haired boy picked me up again, but everything got fuzzy, and then went totally black.

When I woke up, I looked around slowly. I was in a hospital. I remembered the fight and shot up, then collapsed to the bed. OWWWW!
I put a hand to my shoulder gently. Owww, that was worse than I thought. I struggled to get up, and get to the window. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The black haired boy from before said. I sank back down on the bed, because there was no way I would be able to get past him in my condition. "Who are you?" I asked grumpily. "Sasuke. You?" He answered. "Kasumi." I said. Sasuke suddenly yelled "Kakashi! She's awake!" The adult, who I assumed to be Kakashi, entered the room. "I have a few questions for you. Sasuke leave." Sasuke looked unhappy, but obeyed. "Why were you following us?" He asked. "I wasn't, I was trying to find my way to the hidden leaf village." I said. "Well, you're here. Sorry about the misunderstanding. Who are you and where are you from?" Kakashi said. "I'm Kasumi, from the country of the waves." I answered hesitantly; I didn't want him to find out why I had to leave my village. Kakashi noticed my hesitation, but decided to keep silent for now. "Come on, you must need a place to stay. You can stay at Sasuke's place since his place is the biggest and you can't stay with me." He said, helping me up and leading to the door. "I'll take you there now." He said.

Hmm, I thought as Kakashi led me to Sasuke's house, this was an interesting place. Suddenly, I saw a flash of orange shoot past me. "RAMEN!!!" The blonde boy from earlier yelled joyfully, rushing to the Ramen stand. "What's up with him?" I asked Kakashi, giving the blonde a wary look, "Does he always do that?" Kakashi answered, "Yep. That's Naruto. I'm used to it by now." "What's going on?" Sasuke asked, suddenly appearing beside us. Kakashi said, "It was all a misunderstanding. She needs a place to stay, so she's staying with you." "NO WAY!!" Sasuke protested immediately. I gave him a offended look, "What, you don't like me?" I teased gleefully. Annoying Sasuke was so much fun. "No, I don't." Sasuke answered angrily. "Well, too bad. You don't really have a choice, sorry." Kakashi put in helpfully." Well, I gotta go. Take her to your place now. She has to be really tired by now." Kakashi said. "But-" Sasuke tried protesting, but was cut off by a look from Kakashi. "Oh, fine. Come on." He growled, glaring at me. "Sure." I answered, and started following him. "You think you could slow down a little?" I asked annoyed about five minutes later, after have to practically run to keep up with him. "What, tired?" He taunted. I gave him such a furious glare tat he slowed. "Well, we're here." He announced.

UR POV- Hmmm, this is a nice place, I thought cheerfully, as I explored the house. Sasuke was strangely neat, for a guy. He had opened the door to the house, and then just disappeared into his room. I wonder what his problem is. O well, I thought, going to search for some snacks.

1 Hour Later

"Sasuke!!!!!!!" A female shriek rang through the house. I winced, and wandered toward the source of the noise. I saw the girl with pink hair at the door. "What are you doing here?" She yelled angrily, glaring at me. Then, Sasuke entered the room. "Sakura-" He began, but was cut off by Sakura shrieking, "Who's she!!! What's she doing here!!!" "Calm down, Sakura. Kakashi's making me let her stay here. There's nowhere else for her to stay." "Oh." Sakura said, looking unhappy. "Why did you come?" Sasuke asked, annoyance evident in his tone. "Kakashi wants us to meet for training tomorrow at 6." Sakura answered, adding hopefully "Hey do you want to train some now? Just you and me?" Sasuke gave her a bored look, saying "No." Sakura looked heartbroken, and left. "Looks like somebody's got a girlfriend!!" I sang tauntingly. Sasuke gave me a drop-dead look, so fierce that I immediately shut up. Not for long though, I just couldn't resist adding "Oooo, hit a nerve, did I?" Sasuke didn't reply, just glared. I fled to my room and went to bed.

That morning

I was eating my breakfast cheerfully, and Sasuke came out of his room, going to the door. "Where ya going?" I chirped. "Training." He growled. "O, o, let me come!!!' I yelled. Sasuke gave me an annoyed look, saying, "No way. You couldn't keep up anyway." I leapt up angrily, saying, "I bet I could beat you." Sasuke looking smug, said, "Okay. What do you bet?" Hmmm, I thought for a second, and then said, "If I can, you have to kiss Sakura." He looked surprised, then said, "Okay. If I win, you have to be silent for a week." "Deal." I said. Sasuke left, expecting me to follow. I followed, thinking, o no, what have I gotten myself into now?
