Deathly Choices.

Chapter 2.

The mission day. I'm waiting for the people who are on my team. I still don't know who they are. I really hope that Sai is one of them. I actually think so, because he's leaving today too, just like me. With two other people, just like me. And he doesn't know who they are, just like me... Coincidences happen, but not like that.

Wait, someone is coming. I can't see who it is just yet, but I'm dying to find out!! I see blond hair, and he is yelling at me. ''Oi, Chikako-san! How are you? Are you going on a mission too?''.

I smile.

I recognize his voice.

It's Naruto.

Cute little brat.

''Well, yeah, I am. I guess you are too?'' I ask, when he is standing in front of me. He is already sweating now. ''Yeah! Sai told me that you, he and I are a team! He heard it yesterday!''.

Naruto looks at me. He sees I'm blushing and starts to laugh. ''No way, this is not true! Are you…!''.

''Shut up!'' I snap at him quickly. Naruto looks at me very surprised. ''Sai-kun is coming..!'' I whisper.

I look at Sai and smile to him. He smiles back. That smile… I'm freezing.. And his eyes.. His beautiful dark eyes... Damn, I love him so much...

''Hey, Chikako-chan. I told you the day before yesterday that we would be in the team together!'' says Sai winking. I blush. I know I must look like a tomato.

Again.

Damn.

That blushing the whole time is so annoying.

''Well, shall we go?'' screams Naruto excited. ''Come on, I want to go!''.

''Yeah, yeah, don't be impatient. We are going already.'' I say slightly annoyed at the hyper teen.

And then, we are leaving from Konoha.

''Okay, we'll rest here.'' Sai says.

It's evening, and I'm hungry. I can't wait to cook for Sai... He will like it, I'm sure!

Oh yeah.

Forgot to tell you.

I love cooking.

''So, what are we going to eat?'' Naruto asks.

''Well.. I've always tried to cook ramen with my own recipe... I have it here..''. I take a folded piece of paper out of my bag and gather all the things I need for cooking. After an half hour I'm done.

''Well.. This is my own ramen.. Hope you'll like it..'' I say. I'm a little nervous. I really hope that it tastes good.

''Itadakimasu'' says Naruto.

I look at Sai. He is eating my ramen. I can't see if he likes it or not.

Damn.

That makes me nervous.

I look at Naruto. I can't see if he likes it or not.

Again.

Stupid again.

When Naruto and Sai are done, I immediately ask: ''How was it?''.

Sai looks at me very grateful and says: ''It was delicious. I didn't know you could cook so well.''

I smile.

HE THINKS IT IS DELICIOUS! O my God!!! I'm soooo excited!!!! I mustn't show...

''Naruto, how about you?'' asks Sai.

Naruto smiles and says: ''It was very good. I like it!''.''But..''

''But what?'' I ask quickly.

''But.. You haven't touched your own bowl.. Actually, you haven't eaten anything. Are you okay?'' Naruto continues worriedly.

''Yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking.. That it's more important that you guys eat. I'll survive.''

''But, Chikako-chan, you have to eat well too.'' says Sai. ''I'm going to worry about you.''

''Don't worry about me, Sai-kun. I'll be fine. Really.'' I say.

Everyone is asleep. Except for me. I'm way too preoccupied to sleep. I want Sai so badly. He is cute, sweet, strong, and so.. Damn.. But, what about me? What qualities do I have? Nothing. I'm not cute or anything, I don't have any good abilities.. Okay, cooking, but I'm not strong and powerful. How can I..

Suddenly I hear something. I stand up quickly and take a kunai out of my pocket.

''Who's there?'' Someone's coming up. It is really dark, so I can't see well.

''Stop hiding, you! Come here!'' I say again. Suddenly someone is standing in front of me. The person throws three kunai's. I block them.

''Not good enough. You have to come with something better if you want to beat me.'' I say with enough confidence to make the impression. I'm someone to fear.
