The Next Morning
"Rise and shine, sleepyhead" Sasuke's voice called from somewhere outside of your warm cacoon of blankets.
"What the hell are you talking about?" you groaned
"Get up" said Sasuke, pulling the covers off you. You sat up, blinking in the light from the table lamp.
"What time is it? the sun isn't even up yet." you said.
"It's about 6 am" Sasuke said. (side 1-AHHHH! 6AM! NOO! side 2-sigh)
"What?"
"It's about-"
"I heard you. why so early?" you asked, lying back and tugging the blankets out of his hands and covering your face with them.
"My team meets at 7:30, but I'm going to train from now till 7. want to come with me?"
"Of course. why on Earth would I not want to train with you at 6 in the morning" you replied sarcastically from under the blankets.
"If you are gonna stay here in Kohona, you'll have to O.K it with the Hokage, and the best time to see her is in the morning, when she's not as busy."
you pulled the covers off your face and glared at Sasuke.
"My logic is undeniable" Sasuke said, smirking. (side 1-haha. logic is fun! side 2-do you even know what logic is? side 1-...) You groaned, kicking the blankets off and getting up.
Once you had gotten dressed in your usual outfit and put your hair up in chopsticks, you walked outside to where Sasuke was waiting for you impatiently. Once he saw you, he turned without a word and walked down the street. You followed him, walking as slowly as possiable so he had to wait for you on the street corners. It was like a game you played, one person would try to drive the other as crazy as possiable without making them snap and lose their temper. Once that happened, you would kind of just run away. Sasuke was far from his breaking point, but you decided to cut it out when he threatened to stop waiting for you. You hadn't been to Kohona since you were about 4, and you didn't have a very good sense of direction to begin with.
When you got to the training ground, you were suprised to see that there was someone already there, despite the fact that the sun was barely up. A boy a little older than you was already well into his training exercises. He was tall, dressed in a green training suit, and had really thick eyebrows. Without looking around he said "Sasuke. you're usually here at 6:30. why so late?"
Then he glanced over his shoulder and saw you.
"o-oh, sorry Sasuke, I don't wanna pry into your personal life." he grinned. (side 2-XD side 1-? side 2-you wouldn't understand.)
"Wait what?" you said, starting to laugh. "You think me, and him?" you laughed uncontrollably, (side 2-see? she gets it. side 1-?) until you had to sit down on the ground to catch your breath. You shook your head, gasping for breath. The guy looked really confused. Sasuke shook his head and said,
"Lee, be glad that she's laughing and not beating you up." Lee just looked even more confused.
Down on the ground, you finally caught your breath. you looked up at the two guys.
"So...wheres the Hokage's office?" you asked. Sasuke shook his head, smiling slightly.
"You have to fight me first, I want to make sure that I can still kick your butt."
"Excuse me?" you stood up. "the only time you ever beat me was when my arm was broken after I fell out of that tree you dared me to climb!" (side 1-hahaha...tree. side 2-how did i get stuck with this idiot?)
"Please. We both know that you never really broke your arm, you just wanted attention."
"Fine. Then lets settle this. Anything goes" you said, putting your hands on your hips. Sasuke got into a fighting stance and attacked first. You dodged his punchs easily, then caught his hands and twisted him around, pinning his arms behind his back.
"Please" you said, rolling your eyes.
"I was just testing you" Sasuke replied, breaking your grip and turning to face you. You sprang backwards, putting some distance between the two of you.
"No Uchiha, I ment that you still haven't learned that attacks on the body are nothing compared to attacks on the mind" you smiled and formed a rapid chain of hand signs, activating your bloodline jutsu. It was an illusionary jutsu, the strongest of any clan and the best for use in battle. It had several levels, the first of which you were using right now. It was called kagami no kiokuryoku which means mirror of memories and what did was basically make the victim relive their worst memories. (side 1-koolz. side 2-i have to agree with her on this one)you froze, realizing what you had done as Sasuke sank to his knees, his hands over his ears, his eyes wide.
"Kiryoku" he said, his voice shaking, tears seeping out of the corners of his eyes. "make it stop. please make it stop"
"Sasuke..." you ran forward and knelt by his side. You had forgotten how much effect this level of the jutsu had on Sasuke. He had memories so bad that it could drive him insane if he was forced to relive them too many times.
"Please make it stop!" Sasuke begged, the pain in his voice unbearable.(both sides-aww...poor Sasuke)
"Sasuke look at me" you pulled his head up, meeting his eyes. "it's not real Sasuke." His eyes cleared and he stood up quickly, trying to regain his dignity.
"Sorry" you said, not looking at him. "I...I forgot."
"Lucky you" he retorted. "the Hokage's office is down two blocks." he pointed, still not looking at you. You rose slowly and walked in the direction he had pointed.
Sasuke's P.O.V
"Fine. Then lets settle this." she said, getting into a defensive position. "Anything goes". (side1-hey we saw this already! side 2-yeah, but this is SASUKE'S P.O.V) I attacked, testing her defenses. She blocked me easily, grabbing my arms and twisting them behind my back painfully.
"Please" she said, rolling her eyes.
"I was just testing you." I replied, easily hiding my pain. I broke away and turned to face her. She sprang backwards, moving a safe distance away from me.
"No Uchiha, I ment that you still haven't learned that attacks on the body are nothing compared to attacks on the mind" she said, smiling evily. I realized what she was doing a split second before she finished the last hand sign, but it was too late. I was trapped in my own mind, reliving my worst memories. I was 7 years old, standing in a darkened street littered with dead bodies.
"Kiryoku" I called shakily, wondering if she could hear me in the real world. "make it stop. please make it stop" I pleaded as the scene changed. my parents were getting slaughtered before my very eyes, killed by my older brother.(side 1-ugh! Itachi is sooo evil! side 2-yea, but he is hot)
"Please make it stop!" I screamed, unable to look away or close my eyes. Suddenly I heard a voice calling me from far away, and felt hands on my face.
"Sasuke look at me" Kiryoku's voice ordered. "It's not real Sasuke."
My parent's dead bodies faded away, and Kiryoku's bright green eyes came into focus, roughly 3 inchs from my face. I realized I was kneeling on the ground and got up, pulling away from her.
"Sorry" she said. "I...I forgot."
"Lucky you" I retorted, still looking away from her, embaressed that I was so weak.
"The Hokage's office is down two blocks." I pointed in the general direction, still not looking as she rose and began walking. Once she was out of sight I began my training excercises without a word to Lee. But try as I might, I couldn't get the image of Kiryoku's beautiful bright green eyes out of my head.
Your P.O.V
The street was empty, you were alone with your thoughts. You hoped Sasuke wouldn't kick you out after what just happened. You looked up, seeing a large building with the sign Hokage's Office hanging over the door. wow, that was fast, you thought. Then you felt how hard your heart was beating and realized that you had started running once you were out of sight.
you walked down the short path to the door and went inside. A blonde woman was sitting behind a desk, looking bored and tired. She looked up as you walked in.
"Can I help you?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm from the Sainencho-sha clan in Country of the Wind and I'll be staying in Kohona for a while. I was told I had to okay it with the Hokage if I was to continue my training here."
"You were told correct. how long will you be staying?"
"Y year. Maybe more" you said.
"And you would be a...Chunnin?" she asked, getting out a slip of paper and scribbling something on it. You nodded.
"Suppose you need a place to stay as well" she said, not looking up.
"No actually. I'm staying with...a friend."
"Mmhm, and who would this friend be?"
"Uh...Uchiha Sasuke." she looked up at that. "He and I go way back." unfortunatly you added in your mind. She smiled, but didn't question you.
"One last thing, whats your name?"
"Kiryoku. Sainencho-sha Kiryoku"
"Sainencho-sha Kiryoku? I think I met your uncle once." (side 1-lol, in the casino. side 1-i bet Shojiki won)
"Uncle Shojiki?"
"Hai, Sainencho-sha Shojiki. how is he?"
"He's dead."
"Oh..."
"Yeah." you sighed. "in fact, my whole family is dead. that's why I'm here."
"I'm sorry for bringing it up"
"That's o.k." The two of you sat in silence for a few more moments as she finished writing. She handed you the paper.
"Here. Your sensei's name is Hatake Kakashi. You'll be on the same team as Sasuke, so he can help you out."
Great... you thought as you thanked her and took the paper, getting up and walking towards the door.
"Feel free to come to me if you have any problems or need anything" she called.
"Thanks, I will" you answered, as you closed the door behind you.
Just great you thought agian. Training with Uchiha and living with him? Why God, why?
