"Talking"

"Thinking"

(Suri P.O.V.)

Fire Girl

"Girl? Girl... are you awake?" I heard a voice ask. I struggled to open my eyes, but my eyelids seemed to weigh a ton, so it was quite challenging. "Hn..." I mumbled glinting at the figure standing above me. It was a woman with long blonde hair, who looked calm.

"Ah," she said in a voice to match her clam expression. "I see you have decided to join us. What is your name?" "S-S-Suri," I stuttered, still in shock. "W-What happened?" "A team from Konoha Academy found you unconscious about a half a mile from the city gates," she continued.

"My name is Tsunade, the Fifth hokage of Konoha." "The hokage is a woman?" I thought. "And she's so young!" That's when I remembered why I was unconscious.

FLASHBACK

"What do you want, girl?" asked a man with an angry tone. "I'm travelling to Konoha," I replied, sounding confident. The raven-haired man, who was what you might call "Tall, dark and handsome", just smirked in reply. Beside him stood a taller "man" with blue-gray leathery skin and gills. I decided he looked like some kind of shark guy.

When I heard that Orochimaru was after me, I fled my home, outside my village. I wasn't sure where to go, but then I remembered a young boy that I had met once, that was from Konoha.

"Konoha?" The man cackled. "That shitty place?" The shark guy giggled girlishly. "Fag..." I muttered under my breath. "What did you say?" growled the shark yaro. I laughed. "He can't kill me," I thought. "No one can!" "I said you're a fag," I said, more confident than before. "Kid, you are so fucking dead," the shark guy said, grinning. "So. Fucking. Dead."

END FLASHBACK

"I-I remember now.." I said quietly. "They couldn't kill me.." Well, true, they couldn't kill me, but obviously they had the ability to cut me up so bad I'd pass out due to blood loss, which is what had happened, according to Tsunade-sama.

"Tsunade Baa-chan!" I heard someone say excitedly. He looked at me for a second, then said, "Is she gonna die?" Tsunade laughed. "No, Naruto, she's not going to die. She's actually in pretty good shape considering that even her throat was slit."

At that moment a handsome stone-faced boy came in the room. "Sorry I missed this morning's missio-" he stopped mid-sentence when he realized the person he was talking to wasn't in the room. "Kakashi-sensei left?" "Sorry, Sasuke, he just left," Tsunade answered.

"Sasuke..?" I mumbled. He looked at me for a moment. "S-Suri-chan?" he said in disbelief. "You know this chick?" asked Naruto. Sasuke nodded. "But... I thought he... you were..." he trailed off. "Hokage-sama, do you think I could go on a walk with Sasuke?" I asked. "Hai, Suri, but are you sure that you're in good enough shape? I mean, you were cut up pretty bad," she answered. "No... I'm fine.." I said as I got up. I grabbed Sasuke's hand and walked out the door. "Sasuke-kun... There's so much I want to tell you..."

(End Suri P.O.V.)

Sasuke and Suri's gazes connected and Sasuke found himself staring into Suri's striking green eyes. He ran his fingers through her silky, waist-length red hair. "Why'd you come here?" Sasuke asked finally. "Orochimaru.." Suri said, her voice choking up. Tears began falling from her shining eyes. "He... he's coming!" she sobbed into his chest as she wrapped her arms around his waist. He looked stunned for a moment, before draping his arms over her shoulders.

FLASHBACK

A young girl skipped through the forest, her long, red hair dancing behind her like wildfire. She was 6 years old, and had happened to run waaaaaaay too far out of her village. That's when she came across a boy, probably her age, sitting alone against the trunk of a tree.

"Hey!" the girl greeted the onyx-eyed boy. "Hi," he replied, his eyes plagued with a distant look. "My name's Suri," she said. "What's yours?" He looked at her for a moment. "I'm Sasuke." Suri smiled. "You wanna go on a walk?" "O.K." he replied, having nothing better to do. He liked this girl, but he didn't know why.

They walked for awhile and talked about themselves and their villages. Soon they spotted what seemed to be a forsaken cottage. "Cool!" Suri exclaimed, walking towards the door. "Let's go inside." Sasuke nodded and the two crept into the cottage. It was dusty, and full of cobwebs.

At the far end of the room was a dust-covered door, that caught Suri's eye. She was somehow drawn to it. She mindlessly walked to the door, turned the knob, and was confronted by a gloomy staircase leading down into darkness.

"Suri-chan?" asked Sasuke, who didn't recieve an answer. He walked over and turned her around, only to see that her eyes had completely misted over. "Suri-chan?" he asked again as he waved his hand in front of her eyes. Again, no answer as she turned back around and started down the stairs.

Sasuke followed and, as much as he tried to hide it, his fear of what he might find was quite apparent. He looked around for a light of some kind, but to his dismay, found nothing, and had to followe his dazed friend in the dark.

At that moment, Suri fell backwards, safely landing in Sasuke's outstretched arms. "Wh-what happened? How did i get down here?" Suri asked, puzzled.

"I-I followed you down here. You hda this weird look in your eyes..." Suri looked at him confused, and heard a man whisper "Suri.. Come to me, Suri..." The color flushed from her face. "S-Sasuke-kun? Did you hear that?" whispered Suri. "Hai," replied Sasuke, his voice wavering.

All of a sudden, the walls of the cottage cought fire, for no obvious reason. "Sasuke-kun!" Suri cried as she flung herself into his arms. "I've been looking for you, Suri..." the voice said. "Turn around, Suri..."

Suri, obviously not thinking, turned around slowly, and saw a scary-looking man with a demonic look in his eyes. "Hello, Suri. My name is Orochimaru. I've been looking for you," he said in a calm, frightening voice.

"Leave me alone!" Suri wept into Sasuke's arms. "Don't let him get me..." Sasuke saw a wave of chakra being pulled away slowly from Suri's weakening body. "Suri-chan, resist him!" Sasuke cried through clenched teeth, tears welling up in his eyes. "Suri!"

"Don't... let go.. Sasuke-kun.." Suri said, with her last breaths. "No! Don't leave me!" Sasuke cried, but it was no use. Suri's body lay limp in his arms as he fell to the ground. He rested her body on the floor and wept into his fists.

"Aww. Lost your little friend?" Orochimaru cackled. He drew Suri to his hands, as if on invisible strings, and he and the girl vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving Sasuke all alone in the blazing, smokey room.

He ran up the stairs and out the cottage door, avoiding debris. He sat on the cold earth and wept at the loss of his new, and dear, friend.
