I woke up, thinking that I was at home in my room, when I opened my eyes. I saw stone walls, which reminded me that I was no longer at home, but that I left Konoha with Sasuke to go to Orochimaru. Remembering that, my head turned to the right by itself, expecting to see Sasuke sleeping or something. But he wasn't there. The bed's blanket was neatly folded, and it looked like it was new. 'Where the hell did Sasuke go?' I thought. 'Oh yeah, he probably went to train with Orochimaru...'

Stretching my arms and legs, I got up and dressed into my ninja outfit. Slowly opening the door, I looked to the left and right when I heard this weird electric noise that sounded like a thousand birds chirping or something. Following in that direction, I started to walk down the endless, dark halls when I came to a metal door. 'The noise's coming from here, so...' I carefully opened the door a little, not sure what was behind it.

Peering inside, I saw Sasuke with chidori and 3 stick-figures. They were basically strong wooden pieces stabbed hard into the ground, and had another shorter stick tied horizontally, making a cross-shape. A bag filled with cotton or something was tied to the top, made to look like humans. Using chidori, Sasuke destroyed the figures with amazing speed. Sasuke spoke. "This is too easy."

Orochimaru came from a shadow along the dark sides of the room, I didn't even notice him. "Sasuke-kun, this is training... You can't take things like these so quickly..." He smirked as usual, sending chills down my spine. Licking his lips, he said once again, "Sasuke-kun... be patient..."

I was totally disgusted by this snake-bastard. I knew that he wanted Sasuke's eyes (and his body or something), and that was all he wanted. He wasn't taking training seriously, because all he wants is those eyes. The Sharingan. I hoped Sasuke would just kill him, but Sasuke wasn't strong enough to do that. Well, right now he wasn't. I hope he'll just kill him sooner or later... I hated him -- Orochimaru.

"Mikazuki-chan, what are you doing here!?" Orochimaru sharply asked. 'Shit he noticed me!' I thought. It would be retarded to run or hide, so I just opened the heavy door and showed myself.

"I just noticed Sasuke was gone and went out to look for him. That's all." I calmy replied. 'Better keep my cool.'

"Hn! Well, Sasuke will be training more frequently and often, early in the mornings. Now you know, so leave!" Orochimaru said, with great displeasure on his face.

Trying to act like I was sorry and stuff, I was about to say 'gomen' when Sasuke interrupted. "Orochimaru, I'm going to stop training right now. I'll do it sometime later." Then he started to walk out the large room, towards me. "Let's go, Mikazuki."

"Okay," I replied. I was happy, I didn't want to be around Orochimaru, or even see his fucking face. Orochimaru was pissed, yeah I could see that, but so what? Like he could do anything...

Leaving the room, so we were walking down a hall way far away from the room Sasuke was training in, I asked him something. "Hey, Sasuke, you already told me why you asked me if I wanted to come along with you... but it seems like I don't have much use here. Err... do you think you could think of something I could do? Like maybe help around or something?"

Sasuke's eyes kind of moved (like his brow moved or a minor facial expression) to show that it was true, and he agreed. "Hn... I'll think or something, okay?"

"Okay then. Tell me when you do," I happily replied. I didn't want to be a nuisance or some useless person just hanging around without doing my part of the deal. Get what I'm saying? Look... for example, I'm not hating on Sakura or anything, but to be honest, most of the missions we've done, she didn't do anything. It was always Sasuke, Naruto and I fighting and stuff. I mean, I might not've been as good as Sasuke, but I friggin' tried.

Walking side-by-side with Sasuke, we were coming to the exit of the hide-out. You know, that place with the long set of stairs, where we first entered. We were walking up and leaving the place for some reason, I didn't know why, I was just following Sasuke. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. 'Well, I can follow him. He knows what he'd doing/where he's going,' I thought.

We were walking for around 5 minutes when I saw a beautiful plum blossom tree on a wide and large hill. It was big and I could tell it'd be relaxing cool to sit under. Coincidently, that's exactly where Sasuke led us, to sit at the foot of the plum blossom tree. We were sitting with our backs against the tree. I was sitting there for around 5 minutes when I was starting to get bored. I mean, the weather was great -- it wasn't too hot or cold, there was a light breeze, no bugs whatsoever (not on the tree trunk or flying around us), and the grass was cool. But it was just boring after a while...

"Sasuke-kun... why did you take me here...?" I shyly asked. Yeah, I was nervous around Sasuke, as usual. But I was even more nervous, like I was going to have a nervous breakdown. We were alone, on a wonderful day... It was like a sweet scene between 2 lovers from a romance movie. Not the corny, real cheesie ones where they confess and shit! Eh heh heh... except we aren't lovers.

Totally ignoring me and not answering my question, Sasuke said, "Would you help me get revenge?" I was shocked, not in the bad way. I got kind of a happy feeling, it's hard to explain. Like I was kind of waiting for him to ask me this all along. But I really wasn't. "G-get revenge?"

Sasuke quickly said, "I'm just curious -- that's all." He turned his head a bit to the other side, so I couldn't see. 'Is he blushing...?'

I took in a deep breath. I had a feeling I was going to trip all over my words, so I exhaled. "Yes I would. I'd help you get your revenge..."

I glanced quickly to see Sasuke smile a bit, and mentally screamed in my head. 'Oh my gosh does he want me to help him with revenge?! Does he? He seems happy!!'

A minute or so after the small conversation we had, I started to get a little drowsy, surprisingly. I leaned my head back and tilted it a bit so it was against the bark, like my back. Trying to take a nap and not really go to sleep (that would be embarrassing!), I closed my eyes for about 5 minutes. But I was interrupted when I felt some hot breathing on my neck. 'Wh-what the hell...?' I lazily opened my eyes, things still blurry from being woken from a nice nap.

I saw... some black stringy stuff. 'Hair?' I thought. Then I saw red eyes with strange black patterns in them. Automatically, I recognized this person. "S-Sasuke?!" I shouted, freaking-out. He was pretty close when my eyes adjusted to the light, like he was practically breathing on me. His face was down a bit to my chest, but somewhat near my neck, looking me in the eye. "What are you doing!?" I started to scoot backwards, but my back hitting the tree trunk. "You're too close...!"

While I was trying to get away by scooting backwards, Sasuke took this as a... umm... tease or something and crawled forward. I then stood up abruptly, he was too close. Way too close. I didn't want him doing this... No. Half of me wants this, and then the other half of me doesn't.

...

What the fuck is wrong with me. Here I am, getting all confused and my hearts about to explode because it's beating so fast... and Sasuke's all close and breathing on my neck and his face is really near my chest. I then noticed that Sasuke's face was leveled with my stomach.

It seems like while I was so side-tracked with my thinking, Sasuke saw an opening and grabbed my hands with his hand. Then he held them above my head strongly, which practically made me unable to move at all. Not even my legs/feet (like he was holding my hands a bit higher, so I was kind of standing on my tippy toe). "S-Sasuke...?" I quietly whispered. It was kind of weird, like was this some kind of sick game?

"Mikazuki..." was all he said. He was breathing a bit heavy.

"Sasuke...?" I said once again. 'What's wrong with him...? Is he okay?' I thought.

Then, right when I was about to say something again, his lips crashed on mine. So... now we were kissing. 'My first kiss!' Yeah, that's right, you heard me. This is my first kiss, and it's with Sasuke Uchiha. Did that surprise you? Because it sure surprised me, I never figured I'd be kissing Sasuke. We were friends, but it's like it developed into something way more than that... Which I didn't mind. It was okay having my first kiss with Sasuke, for some reason. If it was with some other guy, then it'd be a different story. But this was Sasuke.

Right when I was starting to kind of sink into the kiss, he backed off and removed his lips. Aha... I was a bit too into it and then I almost fell forward. But I quickly caught myself before I fell, you see, I'm kind of clumsy... Guess that's my flaw, in a way.

Sasuke started to walk back to the hide-out, so I started to follow him back. He seemed calm and collected as usual, no different from how his demeanor is anyway. I figured his facial expression would be different from what had just happened. I had honestly no clue as to why he just kissed me and then all of a sudden backed-off. 'Was he playing with me?' I tried to shake off that retarded thought. 'No, he wouldn't do that. Sasuke isn't that kind of guy.'

Back at the hide-out, there was seriously nothing to do. Just like Sasuke had said, he'd go train later with Orochimaru, so I was left alone in our room... sitting on my bed... staring at the dull walls... having no life. Then a thought popped in my head. I was a ninja, here in Orochimaru's hide-out with Sasuke, where Sasuke would receive training from him. 'I'm still a ninja even if I hate Orochimaru and am in his hide-out. So... I should hone my skills and improve, so I won't forget or something,' I thought.

Thinking it was a wonderful idea, I'd go train. 'But where?' The place that Sasuke had just brought me to (the plum blossom tree) was a great place. The tree provided shade, there was even land, the grass wasn't too high so it wouldn't tickle my legs/feet, and it was pretty close to the hide-out. '... I should tell Sasuke or someone just so he'd know where I am in case he's ever wondering.' But he was training and I already interrupted once and I didn't want to let Sasuke think me of annoying, so I just went to the plum blossom tree to train. (I brought my weapons along.)

When I got there, I didn't really see much I could use to train with. I didn't want to throw punches and practice my kicks on the tree of the trunk, that'd hurt a bit. That's when I noticed the beautiful plum blossom flowers falling down from the tree, not just the petals and a few leaves, but the actual flowers -- whole. Figuring I could use my kodachis and practice my swordsmanship by slicing and cutting them up, I started to do so.

After about 20 minutes of hard training, I was worked up and felt that was good enough. 'It's probably around 3 PM...' I guessed. That's when I heard some loud, crazy-sounding laughing and burps and hiccups. 'What the fuck...? What's that coming from?' I turned my head to where the sound was coming from, it seemed like it was coming down the side of the wide hill. The sound became more clearer, so I could hear some clinking of glass noises, and slurred voices.

"Eh heh heh *burp* heh..." (Man 1)

"Sh-sh-sho, uhm.. like I was sayin'..." A really large burp came out. "Wha... whatcha wanna do now?" (Man 2)

"I-I-I... I dunno... Wha you wanna do, eh?" (Man 1)

"Drink some mo shake'." (Man 2)

"Aye, aye, aye... I'm pretty tired... I kinda wanna go 'n just go to sleep... or maybe just go 'n vom-vom-vomit..." He made a gross sound like he was about to regurgitate, but there was no splattering sound, so he probably kept it in. (Man 3)

"Sh-shame here. Who wanna do dat?" There was a deep growling sound and burp. (Man 1)

By now, I could fully see who they were and what they were doing, however, they probably couldn't see me. Wearing pretty poor-in-condition clothe and cheap sandals, they weren't ninja. Also, obviously, they were drinking and 2 out of the 3 had bottles of sake in their hand. They were extremely drunk because they all then suddenly bursted-out laughing crazily. 'Holy crap! They really are drunk!!' I thought. Knowing that sometimes drunk men did really, really stupid stuff, I decided to keep my guard on (which means to be aware of them and watch their movements or whatever).

As expected, they were walking up the plum blossom tree's hill. When they saw me, they said something like, "Get off! This is our fuggin' hill..." and "Bitch!!" I ignored them, they were totally worthless. I would ignore them as long as they kept their filthy hands off of me, but one of the men touched me. He touched my shoulder, and I was pissed off the hook.

Instantaneously, I stabbed his hand with one of the kodachi, then used the other one in my free hand to sharpily slap him across the face. There was a very visible mark of where I had bitch-slapped him with my weapon. "Don't touch me, you filthy bastard!" I yelled. This kind of shocked the other 2 men and one said, "Oi, do you think you tough or somethin'?" The other one gulped the last of the sake in the deep-green colored bottle and said, "Wanna fight, lil' girl?" They had very ugly, drunk expressions on their faces that were painful just to look at.

'Ew-ew-ew!!!' I mentally shrieked in my head. I did not want to touch them. 'If I use my kodachi, I won't have to touch them! Easy.' Proud in my strength, I said, "Bring it on!"

Charging at me, the first man held the empty sake bottle with both hands, like a baseball bat. It would be easy to counter-attack him. The second man, however, took out 3 kunai and one shuriken. Totally not what I had expected. 'What the fuck? This guy knows ninja-techniques!?' I thought. If he knew basic ninja techniques, it wouldn't be hard to defeat them. But then again there was the small chance that he knew more than the basic ninja and just took out kunai and shuriken because he was underestimating me.

...

'UNDERESTIMATING ME!?' I instantly blew-up. 'THAT BITCH I'M GONNA TOTALLY KICK HIS ASS, THAT OLD FUCKFACE!!' So I used quick-movement, took out 5 shuriken and threw them at the drunk men. The guy with the bottle got hit, and fell to the ground. Like, didn't even try to doge the kunai I threw at him. He got hit with about 4 of them, probably because he couldn't even see them. The second guy, however, threw 2 kunai at the 2 shuriken aiming for him. 'Hmm, so he does now some techniques, drunk fuck. I can't believe he can aim that well even in his drunk state, either.'

So now it was just the drunk ninja and I, and it was silent. Still having one kunai and shuriken, he would be easy to take down! So I ran up to him and was just about to stab him with my kodachi when he suddenly, like, dropped his kunai and shuriken and fucking TELEPORTED away. 'What!?' I was shocked, seriously. Who knew such an old, fat (forgot to mention that), drunk guy could aim well and at the same time could teleport? He was behind me and and hit my arm. It didn't hurt much, but it was like he hit a nerve (or something like that), which made it a bit painful to move. Kind of like when you wake up in the morning from bad sleep and your backs and legs are all sore.

Raising my leg to counter that attack while his hand was still down, I was aiming for his face. That geezer would get what he deserved for hurting my arm. Then again, he somehow moved fast enough to top my kick. I was extremely good at Taijutsu, I might even be able to fight at par with Rock Lee. You know, that kid with the bowl-cut, tight green jumpsuit, sucks at ninjutsu and talks about youth all the time? He raised his leg to kick me behind the knee, so now I fell to the floor.

My leg was experiencing some serious freaking excruciating pain. It was like constipation in the leg! Well... more than that. It hurted like hell, to let you know! The man walked slowly up to me, and unexpectedly, he pulled out a knife! 'Shit! I'm in trouble...!' I thought. I needed a plan, and fast. Right then before I could devise one, he pulled the knife up and was about to stab me in the back (where the stomach would be located if I was on my back). I squeezed my eyes shut, hopefully it would be fast...

This is what went through my mind and was the only thing I could think of: 'Sasuke... Save me...'

Mikazuki is not weak, okay? She just kind of underestimated HIM. That's all. Reviews, please! Be nice with critisizm, yeah?
