She sat in her desk filling out a stack of paperwork on her desk. Suddenly her door opened and a raven haired kid who was maybe 13-14 (at the most) years old., and a grey haired man came inside. She smirked.
"We're back from our mission." He said dim. "Good, you have another mission." "What, we just got back!" He replied. "What is it?" Said the kid next to him.
"You're going to be escorting someone around the village." "Who?"
"Go on top of the roof, be cautious though, they're having a battle up there." "A battle!" "Calm down Kakashi, it's a playful kinda battle."
"Wait." The kid started. "Why would we both escort one person, is this person a criminal?" "No, I should have been specific, you will be the one to escort her. Is that alright Sasuke?" Sasuke shrugged.
Kakashi walked over and handed a folder to her. "Here's the info on our last mission, Lady Tsunade."
"Thank you Kakashi."

Sasuke walked thru the building, up to the roof. The sun was out and the wind was blowing his hair.
He finally got there and noticed two girls fighting, he didn't know how long it was going to take, so decided to sit down and just watch.
One seemed about his age, she had spiky black hair and light red strikes. Wearing a dark purple turtleneck no sleeve shirt, and black shorts that showed most of her leg, she also had sleeveless gloves. For some reason her outfit reminded Sasuke of his.
The other who seemed to be in her late twenties. She wore a normal green chuunin vest and a blue tank top that showed her navel. She had a bang over one eye and black spiky hair too.
The older girl started throwing needles at the younger girl. The needles she used were the same kind of weapons that a ninja named Haku that he once fought, what seemed a long time ago.
The young girl dodged the needles easily. Quickly the old girl swung for her face. The young girl shifted her body, but she still got her elbow hit, making her body to fall on the ground.
She was falling down, yet she held her arm out, and did a handstand with one hand. The old girl tried to hit her while she was doing her handstand. But she flipped back.
The were far apart from each other and were out of breath. "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!" She yelled while heaving her chest. A large ball of fire shot out of her mouth.
Once the fire stopped, smoke was everywhere. It was hard to see where each of them were. The smoke cleared and Sasuke saw both of them standing in the same place. He didn't really understand what the point was. But then he did.
Both of them ran to each other at the same time. The older girl was on top of the younger girl holding a needle to her face. The younger girl smirked, and so did Sasuke.
Behind the girl on top of her was the younger girl holding a kunai to her neck, Sasuke couldn't tell which one was the shadow clone. But it didn't matter anyway.
The girl got off of her. It turns out the girl she was on, was a shadow clone, because right when she got off the younger girl, she poofed into smokes.
They both walked over to Sasuke. He stood up and waited for them to explain themselves. But, all they did was stare at him.
He sighed. "I'm Sasuke U-" "Oh sorry." The younger one said rubbing the back of her head. "Sasuke, we know, this is Kimie." She said pointing to the older girl. "And me, I'm..Sayuri."
"Why did you come to this village?" He ask directed to her. "Oh, I was here a looong time ago, but I don't know where anything is that's why I needed an escort, and oh yeah, I'm here because I have to to help out."
"So you're the one then I have to escort?" "Yeah, my sister's going to be leaving soon." "So where do you want to go?" "Can we walk around town? I forgot where my house was..."
"Great..." He turned around and nudged his head to tell them to follow, then he started walking. Understanding, Kimie and Sayuri walked with him.
They got into town, the same shops were there, but soon Sayuri realized that a lot did change. "Hey Sasuke." Sasuke stopped and turned around, still having the same dull face. "Imma let you 'escort' Sayuri around, I gotta do something." She vanished into smokes before he could say answer.
"What does she have to do?" "I don't know, maybe see some people." "Do you know where your house might be?" "Uh, I mean, it's been a while, sorry." "Where are you gonna stay?" "I don't know, I have to talk with Tsunade about that."
There was a short moment of silence. "What do you wanna do?" She said. "I don't know." "What would you mostly do?" Sasuke started to think. Mostly he was on missions, other days his comrades would come and bother him. Though mostly, he would be practicing.
"Um, you wanna go practice?" Sasuke gasped. It was like she was reading his mind. "Why did you think I would wanna practice?" "Oh do you not like it?" "Actually I do, it's just that, you just met me. You found out something I liked already. It's not really common."
"Oh, I mean it was just a hunch." Sasuke grunted as if he didn't believe that, but he had no choice but to.
xxxxx
They got to a training ground.
Sayuri threw a kunai at Sasuke, half-ready Sasuke quickly got out his kunai and hit it. He smirked. "You're pretty quick." She ran towards him, wasting no time.
"Please, if you think that's quick, why not I show you what fast really is!?"
She ran towards him. She swung for his face. He dodged by moving his head, countering it by punching her back. But if he thought that, that would defeat her, then he'd have to find out what she was really capable the hard way.
They both jumped back by doing a handstand. While they did the handstand they threw a kunai at each other. Easily they missed. But, that was on purpose. Both of the kunai's came back like a boomerang. Sasuke and Sayuri had a chakra string attached to it.
They both smirked. "You have got to be kidding me!" She said laughing.
They both dodged, and ran up to each other, once again hand to hand combat. Sayuri jumped far back and summoned seven shadow clones.
"Where have I seen this jutsu before?" Muttered Sasuke. Two shadow clones went for Sasuke, he easily dodged and hit their blind spots as if he had done it a thousand times before.
Right when the two shadow clones disappeared three shadow clone came. He decided the easiest way to get rid of them, was the fastest.
He jumped up and said "Fire style: FireBall Jutsu!" A large ball of flames shot out his mouth and hit the other shadow clones like a bowling ball hitting bowling pins.
He was still in the air when suddenly he was kicked from behind. He turned around and noticed that it was a shadow clone that was hiding behind the tree behind him.
"Wait, when did your clone get passed me?" Sasuke was bemused, maybe she was actually faster then he thought.
Right when he was hit, a fog started to appear all around him. It was the same jutsu Zabuza had used. Who was this girl?
Soon he retaliated by flipping his body so his feet could land on another tree. Without stopping, a shadow clone came in front of him throwing a punch. Instead of dodging or getting hit, he moved with the flow of the punch.
He grabbed her fist making them both go up into the sky. He was like the end part of a missile.
Sasuke threw some hand signs. "Fire Style: Fire Phoenix Jutsu." A balls of fire attacked straight for Sayuri. Except right when Sasuke completed his jutsu she also did some hand signs of her own but it took very longer to make than usual jutsus.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" A dragon made out of water attack for Sasuke.
The water had put out the fire, yet the water had turned into smoke. They both fell to the ground landing on their feet. "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu" Yelled Sayuri doing the same jutsu he had just done. He quickly hid behind a tree, the fire had manage to burn a small part of his shirt.
Sasuke once again did handsigns. He came out of hiding and said: "Chidori!" Lightning almost in an irregular ball form, formed in his palm. She knew that, that jutsu, wasn't his own. It belonged to Kakashi Hatake.
"C'mon, don't you have any original jutsus?" She said patronizing him. "What about you?" He said running towards her, holding the lighting to the ground.
"I'm working on one, how about once I finally mastered it, I'll teach you it the next time I see you." "Can't wait to learn it." Sasuke continuing to run. Sayuri for some reason, was standing still. What's she up to? Sasuke thought.
His hand was two inches away from her chest. Finally he realized it, before he could stop his hand was thru her chest.
Her head tilted up while she gasped. Finally she closed her mouth and moved her head down, looking right into Sasuke's eyes. Then, she chuckled, then winked at him.
Boom! She turned into smokes. Without knowing, Sasuke's faced turned red. He spun around, only to be seeing Sayuri standing there smiling.
"Maybe, I underestimated you." "Yeah, maybe." Sasuke ran to her. "But, I did said maybe." He said.
They started kicking each other and dodging. Sasuke finally managed to hit her arm, but she was able to hit him back. The same thing continued to happen but in different places.
He's actually fast enough to get a hit, I underestimated his speed. His speed is almost as fast as mine. Hmm.
Sayuri kept thinking about his weakness that she could use against him. But, she couldn't find a lot that she could currently use to her advantage. Now, it was time to get serious.
Sasuke finally noticed that Sayuri's face started to get stern, and once she did, she started getting faster too. Soon, he had no choice, he had to activate his sharingan just to keep up with her.
She gazed at his fiery red eyes. Something he would normally never use, but he had no choice but to use the Tsukuyomi on her.
She finally noticed where she was. Everywhere around her was red, and herself was black. In front of her was Sasuke.
Under her feet the floor started to get gooey. She kinda started to sink. But, she didn't, well-fully. She stopped mid-way. Above her came three giant Sasuke's. Her expression was almost unbearable to look at. The pain in her eyes, it made you wanna look away.
But, that was only a game because soon she started to smile.
"I don't know why you're smiling, trust me, what you'll go thru, won't be a happy time. One Sasuke giant started to shrink into her size. He took out a kunai and started stabbing her. Blood spat out her mouth. Yet, she continued to smile even chuckle, which made Sasuke even more angry.
"This is a genjutsu, if strong enough, the one who was used against can flip it around." "What? It can? Prove it!" Her eyes soon changed, into the sharingan. "I already did."
Next thing he knew, he was in her position, and most importantly, she was in his.
The setting had changed. The sky was no longer red or black, it turned dark purple. Then the glowing white moon started to rise.
Green grass appeared beneath their feet, and started growing a little more high to their ankles. He looked around, he noticed the setting, but he notice where he actually was.
He was under the ocean, he was confused how he was underwater, but then again, it was a genjutsu. He held his breath. But, it wasn't enough, he started to choke.
He soon gasped his last breath, he couldn't bare it anymore. He started to go unconscious.
He heaved himself up to sit up. Once he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Sayuri's smiling face sitting criss-crossed. Then he looked at the normal sky, and the sun shining, with no more fog. He grabbed his heart and breathed.
She stood up and reached her hand out. It didn't take long, but he finally smiled. He grabbed her hand and she help pulled him up.
He leaned over and bowed. "Thank you." "For what?" He straightened his back. "I...learned a lot." He said kind of embarrassed.
"Don't worry, hey do you know a good place to get some food?" "What kind of food do you like?" "Uh, maybe a place that has, raman, or maybe rice balls, or a place that has food with tomatoes." Sasuke gasped in his head. Then he quickly made sure his face calm. "What? Do you not like that kind of food?" "It's alright." He started having his voice into an attitude.
The foods she just listed, was actually his favorite foods, but the raman was more on the 'if I had no other food to eat, then yeah i'd eat it, kind of food'.
He started walking, and she followed.
xxxxx
They got into a small restaurant in town and the already sun started to set. Sasuke and Sayuri were eating a couple of rice balls with a side bowl filled with raman.
She looked at the small burnt part of his shirt. She started to chuckle. He looked at her and grunted. "What?" He said in a hateful tone.
She started laughing a bit harder. Sasuke's lip curved, only slightly. She put her hand over her mouth and continued laughing.
"You're crazy." He said going back to eat his food.
She put her hand away from her mouth, but continued laughing. She finally pointed to the burnt part of his shirt. He sucked his teeth when he finally noticed.
She finally stopped laughing, but she was still smiling though. Quickly she finally remembered something important.
"Ah man!" Sasuke jumped and looked around to see her reason for panic, but the place was the same and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"What?" He said getting calm again. '"I forgot Kimie has my stuff!" "Then why not go get it from her?" "Yeah because I know exactly where she is right now!" She said 'duh' voice.
Sasuke picked up his last rice ball and quickly finished it.
"Alright."
"Alright what?"
"Let's go."
"Go where?"
"Look for her."
"Where should we look?"
"I don't know, you know her more, where would she be?"
"I don't know, she knows this place more than I do, but if she was with somebody, she'd be with Kakashi."
"Why?"
"Don't you know that they-..Nevermind, look they're just close. Do you know where he would be?"
"Judging by what time it is, probably at his house."
"Yeah." She said rubbing the back of her head. Then she stopped and gobbled all her food down. "Alright let's go!" "Don't forget about paying." Said the waiter.
Sayuri slightly scratched the side of her face and looked innocently at Sasuke. Sasuke grunted and dug into his pocket, pulling out a couple of bills and coins, then payed.
Right after he payed, she pulled his hand and dragged him out the store. "Come back soon!" Said the waiter.
"Alright! So where's Kakashi-sensei's house?" "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know?!" "He's a hard guy to track down." "Then how can we find him?" "Maybe..maybe there might be someone who might know." "Who?"
Sasuke paused.
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki."
Sayuri didn't say anything, but, she started walking in a different direction. "Hey! Where are you going?" "Naruto's house! Where else?" She yelled back.
He finally caught up with her. Wait, how does she remember where he lives? Of all places, why does she even know where he lives?
They approached his building and waited then knocked on front his door. Sayuri placed her ear on the door. She heard mumbles, and what sounded like sheets moving.
The door opened suddenly and Sayuri fell on top of a blonde hair boy. She got her self up and rested her hand next to his head, still on top of his body. "Sorry.." She said. He finally opened his eyelids, revealing his big blue eyes. His face flustered and finally said: "No problem, it's my fault."
"You two are such clutz." The blonde hair boy looked over her shoulder and saw Sasuke standing there, looking angry as usual.
"Oh sorry." She finally got off of him. "Sasuke?!" He looked at Sasuke and Sayuri standing next to each other. "W-wait, is this your-" Before he could finish Sasuke intervened. "I'm just escorting her around town, her sister is also in the village, she has her stuff and we're trying to look for her, and we think she's with Kakashi." "Hi my name is Sayuri." She said introducing herself.
He continued to stare at Kimie. He cocked his head like his was thinking of something.
"Hmm."
He said getting a little closer. "You look familiar. Have I met you?" "She lived her before, but she moved along time ago." Naruto cocked his head back and smiled. He took a step back.
"So, why are you here again?" He said. "Where does Kakashi live?" He stepped outside his place and looked at the open sky and the town beneath it.
He started walking towards the rail that showed a closer view of the village. He finally pointed to the corner part of town. Sayuri and Sasuke looked over there, it seemed to make sense, it wasn't really in the forest, but not too much in town.
"Okay." Sayuri grabbed Sasuke's hand and started walking. She continued walking but turned around. She stared at him and waved. "Thanks Naruto!" She smiled ear to ear. He waved back and returned the smile. She turned back around and continued walking, she glanced at Sasuke and noticed he looked angrier than usual.
xxxxx
The sun was down and they finally reached the place that Naruto explained Kakashi would be. They knocked on all the doors inside the building, but the one's that answered, weren't him. It didn't take long for Sayuri to give up.
"Maybe we should just go to Tsunade. Because, I need a place to stay." Sasuke nodded and sighed. She was alarmed by his reaction.
"You know what, i'll meet you there." She said.
"No, I have to be with you at all times." "Calm down, Sasuke." She said swaying her hand up and down. He groaned. "I'll race you!" After she said that she disappeared in smokes, but she was in the trees running. "Gahh." Sasuke ran after her.
Sasuke got to the hokage's office and opened the door slightly. "Come in already!" She gawed.
He calmly walked inside the room, inside was Sayuri looking out the window. The hokage looked angry. She exhaled and calmly started.
"Sasuke." She said calmly. "Yes." He replied in the same tone. "What was your mission?" "To escort Sayuri around town." "Yes, now tell me, how is she here?" "Uh, no disrespect but, maybe running." She exhaled again and lifted her eyebrow. "Yes, but no. I told you to escort her. You weren't here when she got here. It's your job to be here with her. Now, where were you?"
"We were racing.""R-racing?" Sayuri finally turned around and joined the conversation. "Oh sorry Tsunade, I should have told you that part.." Tsunade grunted. "Still, Sasuke you shouldn't have done that, it's your job to escort her." "I tried to tell her that, but she left before I could stop her." "Ahh, that's just like you Sayuri." She said lower her brow and easing her self.
"Alright then. What is it you two want exactly?" "Oh, well I need a place to stay.." "Then go to your house." "She forgot where her house is." Tsunade got up from her chair and walked towards the door, she paused and looked over her shoulder.
"Stay here!" She continued walking and left thru the door.
"Sorry." Sayuri said. "Pshh. For what?" "You know, all this trouble." "It's my job." "But still." "Don't worry about it." The room stained with silence.
The door gently, and quietly opened. "Finally Tsu-" The person who walked thru the door wasn't the person who they thought it would be.
"Oh my gosh." Sasuke muttered. "Why are you lovebirds in here?" She screamed and ran up to hug him. "Hmm?" "Ugh! Where were you Kakashi-san? You know how long we've been looking for you?" "Why were you looking for me?" "I thought Kimie would be with you.."
He gasped. "Yeah she was. I dropped her at a hotel." "Where?" "On the other side of the village." "Aw man Kakashi! It'll take me all night." "Why don't you just run there?" "Nah, I already was in two fights today, and I kinda ran here so.."
"Why isn't Kimie at her house? Did she forget where that was too?" Sasuke said looking at Sayuri at that last comment.
"No, it turns out they sold it, thought that the people living there left or something." "Aw man." Tsunade came back inside her office, slightly shoving Kakashi out her way.
"Yes Kakashi?" "Lady Tsunade." He said gracefully. "Why are you here?" "Actually I was just looking to Sayuri, luckily I looked in the right place and found her." "Why were you looking for me?" She said.
"Kimie told me to tell you that she was staying in a hotel." He chuckled at that last part, then continued. "She doesn't expect you to come all the way across town, so find a place to 'crash' for the night." "Aw man, I doubt anyone here remembers me. Maybe the adults, but that's kinda weird."
"Why doesn't Sasuke let you stay at his house?" "What? Where am I supposed to sleep?" "You can sleep in your house, sleep on the floor or something, make some room, c'mon she's a girl."
"Oh no it's fine! But..I can't walk to the hotel, if I do then Sasuke has to walk with me, and I don't want to do that on him. But, I could always stay in the..."
"No." Kakashi said firmly. "Yeah, I thought so." Sayuri looked down.
"Alright." Sasuke spoke.
"Alright what?" Said Tsunade. "Sasuke." Sayuri muttered. "It's fine." "No, you already did enough." Sasuke didn't say a word, he walked over to Sayuri. She looked up as his eyes met hers. First his eyes seemed angry, and hateful, but right then it didn't. It was gentle, and kind.
"You really don't mind?" He shook his head. He took a step back and turned around, and started walking towards the door.
Unknowingly, she followed. "Maybe I can help you with your new jutsu."
xxxxx
They reached his apartment. The room was small, maybe a little smaller than Naruto's house. They walked thru a small hallway, one door on the left was the bathroom, and the door straight ahead was the living room/kitchen. The door on the right, was the bedroom.
Sasuke went inside a closet and took out a mat with one pillow, big enough for two, and a blanket and placed it on the floor. Then he took another blanket and placed it on the bed.
"Here, you can sleep on the bed." "Oh no, that's okay, I'll get the floor." "Please, what would it look like if the hokage heard that I let you sleep on the floor?!" "Then I won't tell her." Sasuke gasped. "You'd do that much? Why?" "I don't wanna cause you anymore trouble Sasuke."
"You're my guest, and I can't let my guest sleep on the floor." He said in an angry mood again. She sighed.
"Fine." She sat on the bed. Sasuke continued to go thru his closet. He finally pulled out a black shirt and small white pants, and tossed it to Sayuri.
"What's this?" "You probably should change into something." "Can this even fit me?" "It's my old clothes, so it should.." "Thanks." She got up and left the room. Sasuke took out another pair of clothes and placed it on the bed. He slowly took off his shirt and sat on the bed and placed his shirt next to him. He heavily sighed.
Without warning the door swung open and Sayuri came back into the bedroom. She paused on her first step into the room. Her face flushed. "Oh sorry Sasuke." She quickly turned around, but looked over her shoulder to still see Sasuke.
"For what?" "Oh sorry, were you changing?" "Oh, kinda." "Sorry, I was wondering if I could take a shower.." "Yeah go ahead." She turned her full body around. He was still sitting there, with no shirt on.
She stared at his chest, showing his abs and muscles. "Oh and I was wondering if I could use your mouthwash too.." "Oh, for what?" "I mean i'm not gonna stay here long, but I mean I don't want my breath to stink, so it could be like my replacement or something."
"Oh okay." He grunted and looked out the window. "Thanks."
Surprisingly, he smiled.
She gave a light smile and went back into the bathroom.
It was 9:42PM already, Sayuri and Sasuke had used the bathroom and were in the bedroom. Sayuri was wearing Sasuke's kinda old clothes. Shockingly, it was a little tighter than she thought it would be.
The black shirt made her body's shape show more, and the shorts were the same size as her normal shorts, which showed most of her leg. Sasuke was surprised to see Sayuri when she first walked into the bedroom, he was..interested for some reason with her.
Sayuri was on the bed working on her new jutsu thru the window. "What kind of jutsu is it?" "It's a fire style jutsu, it's supposed to be more 'hot' I guess than the normal fire ball jutsu."
"Is that it? It's only hotter than normal? Like 1000x more hotter?" She chuckled. He made a straight face.
"I guess. But, the jutsu does more than the eye sees." "What do you mean?" "Okay, so it's supposed to change the air currents and stuff to make like clouds come up. It's a lot of science, so that's the simplest way I can put it. So anyway, after the clouds come up, it's not normal clouds, it's more like thunder clouds. So the thunder clouds make what?"
"Thunder." "Right. But, what do grey clouds also make?" "...you mean-" "Yup." "I'll concentrate on building it up and using it to my advantage. I'll take the lightning, and i'll make a jutsu from it, so then I don't have to waste any chakra."
"That must of took a long time to think of." "Yeah, I got the idea from when I was making a fire when I was traveling. I watched as the smokes came from the fire and then, well you can figure out the rest."
"Hmm." "What?" "I can't wait to learn this new jutsu." He said smiling at her. She snapped her finger and remembered the deal they made.
Sasuke suddenly got serious again, but even in the short time they were with each other, she was already used to it, she just continued to practice.
Sasuke watched her practice her new jutsu. How her body moved when she heaved her chest to make a small fire come out her mouth. Watching the fire also getting dark streaks thru it.
She was different from most of the girls in the village. Most girls would be all over him, disrupting him from practicing, and becoming stronger. But she wasn't really on him that much, it's not like she didn't touch him, but she'd keep her distance. And she was trying to make her own jutsu, no one he knew was trying to go that high.
Something about her, made him want more. The way she practiced, the way she always smiled, she was smart, skilled, pretty and almost as good as he was, she even liked the same things he does.
Except mostly he doesn't like people who are stronger than him, but she is actually helping him get stronger, when she fought with him, she was also teaching him, when she makes her new jutsu come a reality, he'll someday know it too. That jutsu could even come useful in the future.
He decided to sit next to her on the bed, even though her back was turned to him because she was out the window, he didn't mind. He decided to get a little bit closer and crossed one leg and placed his elbow on his thigh and watch.
She scooted a little back from being exhausted. She felt Sasuke's leg on her back. She turned around, she was still breathing hard from all the work.
"How's it coming along?" "Ugh, it's alright. It's making a little progress, but that's still good with me."
"Why is that?" "Because, I can learn why it's not functioning the way I want it to, and I can learn from why it's suddenly working a little way I want it to, then I can start growing on that and fixing those problems."
"How long do you think it'll take until you finally complete it?" "Sasuke don't worry, the next time I see you, it'll be complete. You're getting too eager on this jutsu." She saw right thru him on his intentions for the jutsu.
"When's the next time I will see you?" "Umm, maybe a year from now, maybe two." "How do you know?" She looked away into the window and stared at the sky. He turned his head to look to. She started back at him and watched him watch the sky, looking into no where.
"Trust me, Sasuke." She said looking into his eyes and dragging his name out. He turned his full attention on her.
His head got a little closer. She turned her head back to the sky.
"What are you planning on doing tomorrow?" "I have to get the information from Tsunade." "Alright, what kind of work are you expecting?" "To be honest I don't know." She turned her head back to him again, only to see his face closer to hers. She looked over his shoulder and saw the clock.
"Oh we should go to sleep! It's getting late." Sasuke turned around and looked at the clock. It was 10:32. When he turned his head back to Sayuri she was already under the covers.
He snickered. He got up from the bed and came under the covers over the futon.
xxxxx
It was still dark outside, but it early kind of dark. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock that said: 5:27. She finally looked around and noticed that she was holding on to Sasuke's body.
Her eyes opened widely from surprise. "S-Sasuke! How did I-?" "It was the middle of night and you almost fell out of bed." "Almost?" "Well you fell, but I caught you just in time before you to hit the ground. You're welcome by the way." "Oh really? Sorry" "I didn't want to wake you so I laid you there, and then you rolled over and started cuddling with me."
"So you just let me cuddle with you!" "I didn't wanna wake you up." She smacked her forehead. She lifted her body up and placed her hand on the floor next to Sasuke's shoulder, slugging over on the right.
She rubbed her temple with her open hand. "So when do you wanna get ready?" Suddenly getting a boost of energy. Sasuke heaved himself up, while laying his arm on the floor and his face closer to hers.
"What do you want for breakfast?" "B-Breakfast? Umm, bacon, and sausage. Oh, nothing sweet." Sasuke wasn't surprised to hear the last part, he was exactly the same way, he hated sweet foods.
"Alright." "So after 'breakfast' then can we go to Tsunade's office?" "Whatever you want. I'm escorting you today, it's my job to do whatever you want." "Hmm, so you're my personal slave." She giggled from the thought of it.
"Pshh." He said, which made her giggle even more. She rolled over to the left and jumped up.
"Where are we having breakfast?" "Here." She looked over at him.
"No way." "What? You don't think I can cook?" She made a face. "I mean-" "Alright then. You said Sausage, bacon and nothing sweet right?" "Yeah." "Just for that imma make sure you have a strudel, cake, jelly filled donuts." "Ew, well the cake sounds good, but eww."
They both laughed, but her laugh was more hearable.
xxxxx
Sasuke had took a shower before Sayuri so he could get breakfast started, after Sayuri finished taking her shower and changed back into her old clothes, she smelled something very, homemade.
She walked out of the bathroom, and into the kitchen/living room. Sasuke was pulling two plates on the table that was filled with sausages, bacon, even an omelet. Next to the plate was two cups with two different juice containers.
She walked over a pulled a chair from under the table. Sasuke came behind her and set a fork and a knife. Making his chest touch her back. She felt the warmth of him and let it come over her.
He pulled back and sat down next to her. He watched her as she picked up her fork and knife to cut up her omelet. She slowly picked up a piece and popped it into her mouth.
She took a couple bites and swallowed before speaking. "What do you think?" "It's g-good." He finally did the same and ate his omelet. She noticed he was actually waiting for her to eat first before he started.
They sat there and ate. The conversation shifted towards Sayuri's past.. She'd talk about how her village was like, and the times when she lived in the hidden leaf.
xxxxx
They finished breakfast and got ready for the day. It was already 7: 51 when she looked out the clock before they left the apartment.
The sun was still out, the birds were chirping and not a lot of people were outside because of what time it was.
They reached the hokages office, only to see someone they were definitely weren't expecting. "How did I not see this coming?" Said Sayuri. She ran up and hugged Sayuri. "Yuri!" "Kimie get off me." She said shoving her sister away from her. She looked over her shoulder and saw Kakashi there.
"Yo!" He said waving. "So what are you guys doing here?" She said. "Uh, just visiting." "Visiting?" Sasuke said in disbelief. Kimie turned around and exchanged looks at Kakashi. Sayuri and Sasuke looked at each other, talking to each other thru their face.
"Hmm." They both said. "Where's Tsunade?" Said Sayuri remembering why they came.
"I don't know, I thought Shizune would be here, but she's probably with Tsunade." "Why are you two here?" Said Kakashi. "She basically came here to get a C/D ranked mission." "Oh right, you have to help out in the village." "Yup." "Alright then, why don't you run some errands for me then?"
"What she-" "Sure." She said joyfully. "What?" Sasuke was surprised. "Sure, I mean it won't take long." Kakashi did some hand signs and summoned a scroll. He walked over to Tsunade's desk and took out a pencil.
"Why didn't you just bother getting a piece of paper from her desk?" Kakashi paused and looked up. "Well I guess you're right." He stopped writing and took a piece of paper from her desk, then started writing on that.
He stood up and walked to Sasuke, and handed him the piece of paper. "What's this?" "The things I need." "Why are you giving this to me?" "You're escorting her right?" "Yeah s-so?" "You know where to find these things. So find out where to go and take Sayuri there."
He gnarled, then made a straight face.
He walked over to Sayuri, then looked over his shoulder. "Oh Kakashi-sensei. Can you make sure you tell the hokage about where Sayuri's going." "Sure."
"Bye Yuri!" Said Kimie waving goodbye. "Yeah, yeah."
Sasuke placed his hand on her back and guided her towards the door. Sayuri nodded, and walked thru the door.
The list said:
-tomatoes,
-chicken,
-rambutan,
-yubari melon,
-dragon fruit.
"Those are rare to get, most of them are all around the world!" Sayuri exclaimed. Sasuke flipped the paper and read the back. "There's a store that sell those fruits it's, on the other side of the village.. There are many traps, obviously, because it's rare fruits. There's an old lady who runs the shop, don't let your guard down, her name is Nozomi."
Sayuri gasped. Sasuke looked over to her. "Is something wrong?" "I know where she is!" "Have you met this lady?" "Yeah, when me and my sister were traveling, she gave us fruits that was sooo amazing!"
"Do you remember where it is?" "Yeah, actually I don't know exactly, but I know the trail." "Okay then you lead." "AH WAIT!" Sasuke jumped. "I need to ask my sister to bring my stuff!"
They stopped walking and turned back around, going inside of the office again. They finally get inside and they see none other than the hokage herself, with Kakashi and Kimie talking about very important things.
"Gotta be kidding me." Sasuke murmured.
"Psst! Kimie." Kimie turned around, once she saw who was calling her, she smacked her forehead. "What?!"
"I need my stuff!" "Then go to the hotel and get it!" "What no! That's too far!" "No it's not! It's on the same trail to Nozomi shop!" "Really?" "The hotel is named: Palmer's Hotel."
"Thanks!"
"Can I help you!" Tsunade yelled. "Oh sorry, I had to ask Kimie something." "Alright then, go get the things on the list already." Tsunade said calmly. Once she had finished her last word, she smirked.
Sasuke and Sayuri nodded and left once more. They finally decided to get the stuff before they go see Nozomi. They were on the trail to go to her, and on the same trail to go to the hotel.
