Uchiha's Lullaby
Chapter 1:
Finding Peace
Sasuke walked through the dense forest while being hounded by Suigestu, about how tired he was and when they would be taking time for a water break, and as to why Karin was still there, she not being amused from his sulking and annoying 'her' Sasuke-kun started fuming. "Where are we going, Sasu-kee? Why don't we take a break you know I get dehidrated I need some water." The pale blue head whined out, as he slumped forward resting his chin on Sasuke's shoulder hopeing to convince him to stop for a while.
Karin shreaked out at the top of her lungs, "Suigetsu! What The He..."
She was cut off by a very demanding voice. "Shut up!" Silence filled the air, " Suigestu thier should be a waterfall up around here somewhere they built a hotspring near it."
Karin crossed her forearms and sneared at her water-man rival. Suigestu grinned wildly at Sasuke, "Really, you mean it?"
"Yes, sure it'll be dark soon anyway." The black head sighed as he walked forward, Suigetsu's grin faded as he looked at the red head.
"Hn...looks like I win this round Karin." He sneared while walking past stopping short to turn slightly looking at her and sticking his tounge out, taunting her.
"Ohhh! Suigetsu!" Her shrill voice filled the air once again, this time it was a calm vioce that stopped them.
"Come on guys, can't you just get along till we get to the hot spring?" Juugo questioned as he strided past. Both stopped and almost seamed ashamed till Suigetsu mumbled out,
"Well Karin strated it ya' know."
"Who started it!" The red heads temper hit sky high. Juugo shook his head and thought to hisself 'Why would he do that just after she was quiet, too.'
They were at each others throats again, red and blue darted this way and that Karin kicked and Suigetsu punched, both hit at the same time sending the other flighing into a tree causing a large crash.
Sasuke appeared between the two of them before they started up again. "That is it."
He glared at them, "Karin, Suigetsu you two are going to help each other with the wounds you caused."
Both gulped, "Now look what you did." The boy whispered.
"But, Sasuke-kun..." She was again cut short when Sasuke raised his hand.
"No Karin, I don't want to hear it." The Uchiha said before turning on his heal and waking off. Juugo followed and motioned for the two of them to come on, separating them one infront of him and the other behind, so as to stop them from causing anymore unwanted commotion.
Nearing the Hot-Spring everyone felt relieved, especially Sasuke. After having made sure the two trouble makers were in a room with Juugo, so to make sure they wouldn't get into mischief(again) and get them tossed out of the spring, also to make them help each other with thier new wounds. He made his way to the hot, relaxing water seeing he was the only one there he relaxed, sighing, in pleasure, as he submerged his body in the steaming water.
His spiky hair now wet and sticking to his face he leaned back against a rock, taking in the sounds of the crikets and the wind, the silence was the most beautiful sound he ever heard.
Sasuke abruptly sat up 'Wha...what is that?' he strained to hear above the summer bugs and rising wind when everything went silent...
Nanigenai mainichi no
Ichibyou ichibyou ga
Houseki yori mo kachi
Ga aru Takaramono
'Is someone...singing?' He leaned forward listening, it was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard, somehow this...this voice calmed him. He hadn't felt like this since he was still living in Konaha with Itachi, or being with Team 7. He felt - Peace.
Itsumademo kono toki ga
Yasashii hizashi ni tsutsumarete
Mamorarete imasu you ni
Drawn in the black head leaned against the boulders boardering the fence, that was divinding the male/female sides of the bath.
Sonna atarimae no hibi ga
Yami ni tozasareta to shite mo
Watashi wa anata o shinjite iru
Tatoe sore ga yurusarenakute mo
It seamed as though the whole world had stopped for this singer, for this song. Nothing moved or made a sound everything was drounded out, but the singing was so quiet as though ashamed of its own voice.
KIRA KIRA
Kagayaite ite
Zutto koko de hohoende
SPLASH!
Water smashed his face, waves pulled him under from the dive, quickly he reserfaced and gasped for air, coughing up water. Suigetsu and Juugo, the causers of this panic, quickly came over with concerned looks.
"Oi, you all right?" Suigetsu urged him to answer.
"What the HELL!" Red-eyes flashed " Are You Trying To Fucking Kill Me!" The black head raged shoving the water-haired boy under the water hoping to drownd him, suddenly stopping, he looked around franticly. Leaning forward he placed his hands on the wooden fence separating him from serenity.
"Sasuke?" Ember-yellow eyes studied him. "what's wrong?"
The black head hit his head on the wall, letting a low growl escape from his throat, red eyes dulled to black, sad orbs. Alowing a distraught sigh leave his lips Sasuke shook his head.
"Nothing, absolutly nothing." Leaving he turned his head slightly to his team members. "I'm going to rest."
Juugo nodded, watching him leave.
"Sasuke." Suigetsu whispered, he had never seen him this down, turning to his autumn haired friend, he mumbled, " Hey, Juugo, have you ever seen him this down just 'cause we were foolin' around?"
"No, never really."
"Isn't it wierd, though?"
"Isn't what wierd?" A familiar voice questioned.
Both men turned to see Karin standing in the doorway to the male side of the bath area.
"Karin!" They yelled at thier red headed friend.
"What?" She screached.
"What Are You Doing Here! On Our SIDE!" Suigetsu screached hiding behind a rock.
"Oh..." Karin teardroped, as did the boys.
