It was infuriating.
She would always smile. No matter how I acted.
When I masked my emotion and tried to kill her she still didn't fear me. I couldn't help but feel grateful when the dobe stopped me.
I really didn't want to kill her.
That's what pissed me off the most.
I didn't want to.
I've tried to kill her three times now and each and every time someone has interfered…
…I wonder if she'd even be able to defend herself.
I shook my head at the thought. I was thinking about the damned female to much.
I sat up abruptly when I heard something outside the door.
She was coming to check on me as she did every morning.
Why her, of all people, did SHE have to volunteer at the hospital and end up taking care of me?
I remember I had a small crsh on her when we were younger. I'd thought her stuttering was un-deniably cute. The crush had faded as most do with time though and I could't help but be happy it did.
…I didn't need a girl confusing matters, I way to many things to do.
I stared at the door, expecting it to open.
…it didn't.
At first I was confused but then I concentrated my hearing on the other side of the door, perhaps she was conversing with someone?
I froze, were those…
…sobs?
She was crying on the other side of the door. I tried to ignore it but it was one of things that when you concentrated on you couldn't help but hearing.
After a few minutes the door opened and she came in, bangs covering her eyes.
I stared at her blankly; there was no one with her today. Usually Sakura or some other medic nin or even Narutard would come to assist her.
…was that why she was crying? Maybe she did fear me after all.
"U-Uchiha-san, I b-brought br-breakfast." She always stuttered… I wonder why?
I gave her a blank stare and didn't even grunt to acknowledge her.
She flinched as if I'd sent her a piercing glare.
I knew I hadn't, so why was she taking my blank stare so hard today?
…was she actually scared of me?
For some reason I felt… disappointment at the thought.
She smiled shakily at me and turned around, busying herself with the food.
Her shoulders started shaking.
She was crying again?
"Uch-Uchiha-s-san?" she asked in a voice barely a whisper.
"Hn?" I almost hit myself for answering; I really hadn't meant to acknowledge her.
I could hear the tears in her voice this time "I-I… w-was won-wondering i-if…-" she stopped herself. "N-never m-mind. So-sorry to b-bother y-you…"
She was crying, her shoulders shook, her body hunched slightly forward, small sobs could be heard.
And I was pissed.
Just looking at her small form pissed me off to no end.
Why you ask?
She looks way too huggable! I wanted to get up and hold her close and tell her it'd be 'okay' despite the fact that I didn't even know what was wrong!!
After a few minutes of resisting hugging her I settled for the next for the next best option.
Getting off the hospital bed silently, I approached her. She tuned around quickly and faced me, tears still streaming down her face…
…something got me though…
Her eyes, they were wide, sad and surprised.
But they still weren't scared.
I inwardly shrugged and clamped my hand onto her neck.
Her eyes widened as I squeezed her wind pipe but she didn't resist.
…was she really that weak?
No… even the weakest of people can at least manage to claw at the hand strangling them. She also had Gentle Fist. She could hit me in the chest with one blow and I could be down for the count.
Why wasn't she even trying to resist than?!
My own eyes widened as I realized that was the only reason. She wasn't trying.
But why would she let herself die?
Suicidal? No, it didn't suit her character…
Her eyes started shut and I dropped her with a start.
She coughed violently on the floor.
I froze, I couldn't do it. The thought of her actually dying had caused me to drop her in an instant.
I glared at her, she looked back at me.
The staring competition continued for roughly five minutes.
"What's for breakfast." I asked, turning my head to the side slightly, when I looked back down at her she was smiling.
"Waffles."
