Chapter 2: The Early Morning Fight
Jasmine lay on her bed as she recalled the events of the day. She still couldn't believe that she was able to spar against her crush, Neji Hyuuga. She may have lost the match, but she liked how the outcome was.
*Flashback*
She swiftly pulled out a kunai and put it at his neck, pinning him to the ground. "Check."
He smirked as he grabbed her free arm and flipped her onto her back. He smirked again as she grunted loudly in pain. To make sure that he had her pinned, he straddled her and held her arms down. "I find it odd how you can do those types of jutsus as an academy student. You can do an element that I have never even heard of. Add the fact that you are half Uchiha. Oh, and I know that you have already activated your Sharringan. I mean it is obvious that you have because you copied that shuriken jutsu and that taijutsu combination." He leaned down closer to her ear. "You're trembling. Why? Is it because that you have never been in this type of position with a male before?" He looked at her and smirked. He moved his right hand and slowly trailed it up and down her side and part of her leg. He continued doing that as he felt her squirm slightly from the sensation. As he brought his hand back up, he brought it over her stomach and to her breasts. He lightly massaged her right breast and brought his hand to her neck. "Open your eyes," he ordered and Jasmine followed it.
Jasmine slowly opened her eyes and found that Neji's face was extremely close to hers. Her breaths became shorter and shallower as he just hovered over her parted, plump lips. She had secretly admired him for a long time now, but this was just overwhelming. She couldn't take it any longer. True she was freaked out cause she had never been in this type of position with any guy ever, but this was intoxicating her. She had developed a huge crush for him a while ago.She wasn't sure why she started to like him of all people. She had heard the rumors that people called him "The Human Ice Cube". She came to the conclusion that he, at that moment, was not a human ice cube. She wanted so badly to kiss him for some odd reason. Well, I do like him a lot. She met his gaze and froze. She felt as if she was being sucked into his white eyes. Jasmine felt her breath hitch as his face came closer to hers till his lips were millimeters away from hers. Oh Kami. Is he really going to kiss me right now? His team is on their way to our location. Her breath hitched again as he let go of her other arm and ran his over her body again.
He couldn't take these games he was playing with her. He just wanted to kiss her, let his hands roam her body, take-no he couldn't do that to her. Against her will would be rape. He couldn't do that. Not to the girl that he liked. He just decided to kiss her and show her how he felt. He had heard all of these rumors that she was at least a Chuunin level ninja student. When he saw her sparing with that Uchiha brat during taijutsu practice at the academy, he was hooked on her. There were times when he would be on missions and he couldn't stop thinking about her at all. His dreams were plagued by her. He couldn't take it anymore. He set his lips on hers softly but firmly in a deep kiss.
Jasmine was on Cloud 9. Neji, her crush, was actually kissing her. She allowed her eyes to flutter shut as she placed her hands on his neck, deepening the kiss further. Her hormones were raging as he trailed both of his hands down to her waist. She could tell if a male liked her by how passionate their first kiss was. From Jasmine's calculations, Neji liked her a whole hell of a lot. She was disappointed when he pulled away.
*End Flashback*
Jasmine was still in shock at what Neji had done, but she didn't regret what had happened at all. In fact, she was thankful that he had kissed her. She smiled brightly as she traced her lips yet again. Then the thought of the graduation test came into her head. Crap, I should rest if I am going to have enough energy for my spar wit Sasuke and then the graduation test. She turned and lay on her side and got comfortable. Let's hope I can sleep tonight. Not long after thinking that sleep found her for the first time in almost five years.
*Next Morning*
Jasmine was up bright and early for her spar with Sasuke. She quickly dressed and went to the Uchiha compound training grounds and waited. Even though she was an hour early, she still loved admiring the beauty of the entire compound. She remembered all the times she would come here with Itachi and watch her half brother practice and train for hours on end. She smiled at the thought of a happy Itachi. Her smile turned into a frown as she remembered the clan massacre. Itachi had spared her but not her half brother, Shisui Uchiha. She was so devastated and so mad at him. She never fully understood why he had done it. All she wanted now was to find out the truth from Itachi and then kill him with no mercy.
Jasmine stared at the ground as she remembered how she had found Shisui's body.
*Flashback*
She was running away from the compound crying. She was going to the place that she and Shisui would go on a hot day to think. She stopped as she saw Itachi standing in front of her half brother. Jasmine became wide eyed and started to tremble when Itachi pulled his sword out of its sheath. At that moment she felt an immense amount of chakra flowing to her eyes. Suddenly, Itachi's plans became clear. He was going to kill his cousin, his best friend, her half brother.
She had activated her Sharringan at that moment. She knew what Itachi would be doing. She knew instantaneously that would be losing the closest family that she had. She slowly stepped closer to the pair. Why was Itachi doing this? Then it hit her. He was going to activate his Mongekyo Sharringan. Shisui and Itachi may have been close, but Shisui and jasmine were even closer. She considered Shisui her full brother. He was always there for her. He was always comforting her. He was always playing with her. He was like a true brother to her.
Then, it happened. Itachi stabbed Shisui through the heart. When he did that, Jasmine screamed at the top of her lungs. She felt unwanted tears flowing out of her eyes. "SHISUI!" she screamed.
Itachi turned around, his sword still in his cousin's body. His eyes grew wide with fear as he saw Jasmine standing there trembling and crying. What had he just done? He had made sure that they were alone. Why was Jasmine standing there? That was when he noticed her newly activated Sharringan. He smirked as he felt a newfound power flowing to his eyes. His Mongekyo Sharringan was activated.
He faced his cousin once again. Shisui's eyes widened in fear. His cousin was killing him to activate the Mongekyo. "Itachi…why Itachi? Why would you do this?"
"I'm testing my power Cousin," Itachi replied.
Jasmine was now close enough to hear their conversation. She paled as she listened to Itachi's words. Why would he want to test his power by killing his own cousin? she asked herself. She met her half brother's eyes and saw unshed tears. She trembled even more as she saw how pale he had become from the amount of blood he lost. She stepped forward even more. She stopped when she met Itachi's intense gaze. She was a few feet away from them both now. She gasped audibly as Itachi roughly pulled out his sword and sheathed it. Jasmine jumped as he suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Jasmine," Itachi said softly. He slowly and gently caressed her cheek. "Please forgive me. I never meant for you to see that happen. But I had to do it Jasmine. I had to. I had to test my skills against him.
"There is one other thing I have always wanted to tell you. Ever since I saw you as a baby, I have always loved you as more than a cousin. And I still do. One day when I return to you, I will take you with me away from this place."
"NO! Don't touch me. You are a murderer! Leave me alone. I don't want anything to do with you! Go away and let me grieve in peace!" Jasmine shouted. She pushed past him and rushed to Shisui's side. "Shisui. Brother, please, hang in there. Please, don't leave me Brother. PLEASE BROTHER DON'T LEAVE ME!" she shouted as she placed demon healing chakra into him. His heartbeat was still slowing even as she tried to heal him. When she felt his heart stop for good, her tears came back.
*End Flashback*
Jasmine was brought back to reality as she felt someone shake her by the shoulders. She looked up to find a worried looking Sasuke. Was she really standing there for a whole hour? She saw that there was worry in his eyes. Wait, why would he be worried about me? Jasmine shook off the odd feeling as she flashed him her huge smile. "Hey, Sasuke. Are you ready for our spar today?" She looked at him with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
"Hn. You are so not going to win, Cousin."
Jasmine's expression completely changed. He had just called her Cousin. He hadn't done that in over four years, since the massacre. Why was he doing it now, all of a sudden? She shook off the odd feeling she got from the name and semi-glared at him. "You have no idea what I am capable of Sasi-kun." She smirked as his face became slightly disgusted at the old nickname. "Did you honestly think that I would forget a nickname like that? I mean, come on, I made it up. I was the one who called you that. I would be extremely dumb if I forgot the nickname that I chose for you."
Sasuke growled lightly before turning away and walking to the middle of the practice field. "Are we gonna spar or not?" he asked in a slightly rude tone. "Cause I still have to get ready for the dreaded graduation test today at the academy."
Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Impatient as ever I see, Sasi-kun." She chuckled as she saw him tense slightly. She went down into her taijutsu stance for the second time within twenty-four hours. "We'll start with taijutsu. If you're up for it."
Sasuke went down into his. "It doesn't matter what we start with, I will still win."
"You are way too arrogant, Sasi-kun. You need to lighten up a bit."
"Begin!" they both shouted at the exact same time. Within the next two seconds, they were charging at top speed towards each other.
Jasmine blocked Sasuke's punch and immediately went on the defensive as he continually threw multiple punches and kicks at her. She grunted as she blocked a kick that was aimed for her side. Damn. When did his kicks become so fucking painful? She caught his next punch that he threw at her with her hand. "My turn," was all she stated before throwing a punch of her own. She smirked with contentment as the roles reversed. Now Sasuke was on the defensive and Jasmine was on the offensive. She slowly began infusing a small amount of chakra into all of her punches and kicks. She saw the opportunity and took it. She threw a punch infused with chakra towards his gut.
Sasuke didn't see that punch coming. One second he was blocking all of her advances the next he was on the ground on his knees coughing. How was she able to find a weak spot in his defenses? If she is able to do that, then she is able to take on a Chuunin shinobi at least. There was only one explanation to that. Jasmine had already activated her Sharringan. That has to be true. It is the only logical reason since she is half Uchiha and all. "Have you activated your Sharringan yet?" he asked bluntly.
Jasmine froze. How had he figured it out? How did he figure out that I have already activated it? "Yes, Sasuke I have already activated my Sharringan. It happened on the night that Itachi killed Shisui." Jasmine looked down tears falling from her eyes as the memory replayed in her head yet again.
Sasuke looked up at her crying form. She witnessed Itachi killing Shisui. That's how she activated it. He stood with a slight difficulty and put his hand in her shoulder again. When she looked up at him, he had an expression on his face that no one had ever seen before. His face showed that he was actually showing sympathy for the first time in years. "Jasmine, why didn't you tell me?"
Jasmine was dumbfounded. Sasuke Uchiha was showing emotion. She stood there, crying, not knowing what to say. Why was he suddenly showing all this emotion towards her now? If he wanted to act like a family member to her, he was too late. He didn't care for her when she was younger. Now, as she stood there staring at him, he wanted to treat her like family. Jasmine tried to process what he had said and how he was acting. Why is he acting like this so suddenly?
