Sorry for the extremely long wait. I got writer's block bad, but somehow knew what I wanted to do in the next chapter. Inspiration just wrecked me all of a sudden so I'm back.
Chapter Two: After Dark
"You raped me!?" Temari yelled at the unconscious boy. Her hair was no longer parted in four, neat pigtails but was now untamed, maybe even ruffled. Its blonde stands flew in all directions except its usual ones, leaving her hair going up and to its sides wildly.
A groan came from under Temari. Slowly, the boy awoke. His eyes remained closed however, but an irritated look came over his face. "…Shut up…"
An anger mark appeared behind her head. "NANI?!? Shut up?! Didn't you hear me!?" She scoffed and looked away. "…Useless excuse for a man…"
This girl is heavy… Sasuke thought, still lying on the ground. He was never one to be lazy, but for some reason… His body just felt… tired. As if it wanted five more minutes to rest, and then five more minutes after those five minutes… And after that five MORE minutes… And this heavy, and now a little annoying, girl on top of him wasn't making things any easier. Uhhh… Why am I so tired? What the hell did I do last night…? That made things click. Thought began running through his head. Last night. The short 'fight' with her. Her paralysis jutsu finisher. His odd weakness. The heavy girl on his waist. 'You raped me!?' The last part replayed in his head, almost in slow motion. His eyes shot open in the realization. For the first time in a long time, desperation and worry filled his dark, onyx eyes. "Get off me!! Get off me!!" His hands grabbed her waist.
"Wha!?!" Temari yelled. "You want a second round now?! Think again!!" She raised her arms to punch him but then realised what she left exposed, and her arms came down quickly to block them and a blush slowly rose to her face.
"Get. Off. Me. NOW!!!" Sasuke yelled, finally throwing Temari off him. He stared at his hand for a few seconds and flexed. At least her jutsu wore off…
"So first you rape me and now you're being rude?" Temari yelled back. "To think that I thought you were kinda cute…"
Sasuke glared at her. Great… Looks like one of the fangirls finally succeeded… "Two things. One, I did not rape you. That was your doing. Two, don't you have a hangover to be experiencing instead of annoying me?"
"What the hell are you --!?" It finally caught her. She was fighting it back since waking up, but it was now too much. Her body weakened and her stomach ached as it she ate rocks for dinner the night before. It churned and rolled, sending her to her knees and crawling towards the nearest bush. Loud, inaudible sounds followed afterwards from the bushes which showed that she was enjoying her lunch from the day before again. Only thing was, it didn't taste as well as the first time she ate it.
Sasuke glared at the girl who now bent over into the bushes. Idiot… His eyes then slowly began to move down from her back, going lower, and lower… and lower to her round, nicely shaped – He immediately turned his head, barely managing to keep his emotionless face on. I'm beginning to hang around Kakashi too much…
"Uhhh…" Temari muttered as she removed her head from the bushes. "What the hell happened last night…? Don't tell me you drugged me too?" An anger mark appeared behind Sasuke's head. "I know you're a worthless, shell of a man, but there are other ways to get what you want."
Sasuke growled at her. "Shut… up. I didn't do anything. Think back to what you did the night before."
Temari glared back at him and thought back. Pain jolted through her mind at first, but she managed to push passed it and think further. Everything was a blur to her, and it pained her just to think of it. The only problem was, Temari wasn't the kind to give in to a little pain, and she just ignored it and pushed harder and further. Slowly, the blur began to clear, and vague pictures came to her. A restaurant… Out with… her siblings… Bathroom… Wow there was nasty as hell… That could not have been sanitary… After… Kankuro and Gaara… Her head pained more. It crushed her, causing her to hold her head in pain and it even sent her back to the bushes. Slowly, the final part became visible. It wasn't too visible though. It showed Kankuro, intensely watching as Temari took a sip from her drink. Which wasn't there before. Her head sprung from the bushes, alerting Sasuke, whose head turned to face her.
"Kankuro…!" Temari growled.
The tall trees over the Hidden Leaf village blocked out most of the sun's early morning rays, leaving the path through the trees moderately dark. Two figures woke up the late rising creatures as they leapt from branch to branch. The first figure wore a black hood over his face, which matched the rest of his one piece outfit. Purple lines ran across his face, going around his eyes, down his cheeks and around his lips. On his back, a large, bandaged contraption with what appeared to be dark brown hair sticking out from the top. The other figure's red hair flowed in the wind as he just, although it was short. His face remained emotionless, despite the fact that he had kanji for 'Love' on his forehead. His green eyes were surrounded by dark circles and aside from that nothing else stood out from him. Not even his non existent eyebrows.
The two jumped in silence for some time, and tension began to build between them. The first one's head spun around madly as he jumped, looking for any sign of yellow, or blonde, or maybe even light purple.
Finally, the second one growled at the first, bloodlust evident in the growl. A chill was sent up his spine as the sound rushed into his ears.
"Kankuro… Why are you dragging me along?" He growled. "It was your idea in the first place."
"Err…" Kankuro paused. "Because she's your sister and you love her."
Gaara stopped immediately and glared at Kankuro. "The real reason."
Kankuro paused. Gaara glared harder. "OK, Ok. And if she attacks me I'll have you as backup." Kankuro let out. "I know she's not stupid and she'll figure out it was me soon enough."
Gaara growled, but at the last moment sighed. "Whatever…" He leapt up to Kankuro. "And next time, get up earlier if you want to get her before she gets up." With that being said, he leapt passed Kankuro, and further into the trees.
Kankuro glared back at him. "Come on Gaara! I was tired!!" He took off after Gaara, head still moving in search.
"Then you shouldn't have stayed up watching TV after we got back to the hotel…" Gaara deadpanned as he turned round to look at him.
Kankuro scowled. "You know, as well as I do, that we don't get TV of that quality back home. How could I not watch it?"
Gaara sighed and shook his head. "Alright. Fine. Whatever…"
Something then caught Kankuro's eye. At first, it seemed like a long, thick, black stick, but after closer examination it turned out to be two pieces of black metal with something in between them. Kankuro's eye widened as he noticed the iron fan sticking out of some bushes. "Gaara! I got something!" He called out as he dropped from his branch.
His face turned pale, as the fan was the only remnant of Temari that remained there. "Oh man…" He mumbled. "She's gonna kill me for sure!"
"Aren't you worried that a wild animal attacked her or something?" Gaara asked as he approached.
"If she was, I'll be sorry for the animal, not her." He said pulling the fan out of the bushes. As the fan came out, something else did too. A weapons holster. The black weapons case was attached to the bottom of the fan by some bandages. Kankuro's eyebrow rose as he inspected it. "Wait a second… Temari doesn't carry a holster… Right?"
"Yeah." Gaara answered. His voice seemed a little further than before.
"Then… Whose is this?" Kankuro turned around to Gaara, with the holster in his hand. "!! Hey!! Gaara!! I thought you were going to protect me!? What are you doing all over there!?" Gaara stood a few trees away from him, with half of his body being blocked by one.
"You said you wanted me for protection. I never said I would protect you."
"Wha…!?" Kankuro sweatdropped as he hung his head. "I am so doomed…"
"When I find the little puppet using, ugly one piece wearing, face make-up brother of mine…" Temari growled. "I'll snap his neck, bring him back to Suna, get someone there to revive him and do it all over again!!" Temari yelled through the bushes.
Temari and Sasuke crawled under bushes, searching for a way back to the Village. And their clothes too. The two stayed together just in case the other found some their clothes. If it wasn't for that, they would have spilt up the moment Temari stopped having her third serving of lunch. Little sun shone that low, so visibility wasn't at its highest, but it was enough to make out leaf from bark.
Sasuke glared at Temari after that last statement. "Idiot."
"What did you say!?"
"It's probably your fault you got drunk anyway." He deadpanned. "And since you're that weak to alcohol, why did you even go something that sells in the first place?"
Temari glared back. "You think I wanted to go in there? That idiot Kankuro chose the place! I bet he planned it from the beginning." She turned her head and looked away. "That and I didn't know I was weak to alcohol…"
Sasuke stopped paying attention after the second sentence. Why bother listen? She's just another one of them anyway…
"You're not even listening are you?" Temari deadpanned, snapping him out of his thoughts. He didn't let it show though.
"Hn."
A scoff then came from Temari. "Men…"
White suddenly flashed over her face as she emerged from under the bush. It wrapped itself around her eyes, stopping her.
"What the…?" She took it off her face. It was like a long tube of fabric, with blue at the end. The ends were also adjustable, and the material itself was kind of soft.
Sasuke quickly snatched the arm warmer from her hands. "…Thanks."
Temari grabbed it from him. "Who said I was giving it to you? I need this a lot more than you do. Besides, isn't it a man's job to provide for women first, then themselves?"
Sasuke growled at her before grabbing the arm warmer again.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. You're barely a man."
Sasuke glared daggers at the kunoichi. "Idiot."
"Says the one who got caught by the 'idiot'." Temari smirked.
Sasuke scowled. Note to self, next time I see a girl in need of help on the road, find another path home.
Suddenly, the bushes moved. Sasuke's arm flew around Temari's waist and pulled her to him. "What are you --!?" Sasuke's other hand quickly covered it.
"Sasuke!!" A girl called. Her shoulder length, pink hair swayed as she stepped forward. Worry filled her emerald eyes as her head turned round, looking for someone. "Sasuke!! Where are you!?"
"You idiot…! She's calling you!!" Temari whispered with Sasuke's hand still over her mouth.
"You think I don't hear that?" Sasuke answered. "The last person who I want to see me now is Sakura."
"And you call me an idiot…"
"Sasuke!!" Sakura yelled. "Ohh… Where is he…?" She said looking around one more time. "Sasuke!!"
"You know," Temari started. "She sounds genuinely worried."
"…Hn."
An anger mark appeared on the back of Temari's head. "That's your response!? 'Hn'?! She cares about you!!" Her voice was louder than before.
"Be quiet. She'll find us if you make that much noise." Sasuke continued to whisper.
"What do you mean 'be quiet'!? You expect me to just let you worry her like that!?" Temari said even louder. "You… You…! Man!!"
"Listen!" Sasuke said firmly. Oddly, Temari actually listened. "If we were caught like this, it would only make things worse. Already our countries' diplomatic ties are strained, if the Uchiha prodigy and the Suna princess were found together, without clothes, bodies touching like this, it would mean one of two things. Either the biggest scandal ever, or War with each country declaring that the other forced themselves onto them."
Temari froze. She hadn't thought it out that far yet. She just assumed the Uchiha didn't want to get off his throne and look like a common, maybe even lower than common, day person or that if this Sakura found him, he'd just be quite ashamed. His idea made perfect sense. For Konoha, it would just seem like Suna trying to get their hands on the Sharingan, and to Suna it would be an insult for the Late Kazekage's daughter to be found in some bushes with a Konoha ninja. Not even a proper bedroom or something! This would mean some kind of conflict between the two nations. Maybe not war, but something big. She scowled. "Ok, you got me there…" She said, lowering her voice." Something else got her as well. As warm feeling wrapped itself around her, especially her back and waist. She looked back to see Sasuke, almost on top of her, skin to skin and all. She could feel his firm chest and abs pressing against her back as his warm arm wrapped its way perfectly around her waist. He kept his usual emotionless face on, as if he didn't even seem to notice. She immediately struggled and released herself from the Uchiha's grasp.
"What are…?"
"N-Nothing! Just… quit touching me y-you rapist!" Temari stuttered as she turned her face away from Sasuke, hiding her blush. How is he… so warm? For someone who acts so cold…
"Ohh… It's not like Sasuke to disappear like this…" Sakura mumbled. "Not even Kakashi-sensei knows where he is…" She took one more look, and then turned, making her way out of the area.
"Finally…" Temari mumbled as she pulled herself from under the bushes. She emerged in a large field, surrounded by trees and shrubbery. The grass was cut short, and in the centre it was beaten, and worn out to the point where it stopped growing and only dirt remained. The trees surrounding it were tall, and loomed over the field while still allowing the warm sun's rays to beat down on who ever was there. A slow, cool breeze blew through the area as well, shaking everything in the now deserted field. Sasuke slowly pulled himself from the field as well, and took a moment to analyze the scenery.
Temari shivered as the wind blew on her. "Whoa! I do not need to feel the breeze between my knees right now."
"Hn…" Sasuke said slowly, as if still lost in thought. His hand came up over his eyes, blocking out some of the strong rays or light.
"Hey," Temari said, placing her hands on her hips. She quickly realized the position they put her in and moved one to between her thighs, blocking the important stuff. There was no point in blocking the top. He could probably imagine those anyway. "Is that all you can say?"
"…" Sasuke remained silent.
"Hello…?" She brought her free hand up and snapped in front of Sasuke. "You should really listen to me."
"I am." He responded. "You're just not saying anything important."
Temari's fist clenched. "You're soo lucky I don't have my fan right now… Or else it would be go-time right here and now!"
"As if you could beat me." Sasuke said walked right passed her.
Temari fumed. "Why you little…"
Sasuke's hand immediately came up, stopping her mid sentence.
"Come on Hinata!? You sure you can train yet?" A rough, masculine voice said.
"Y-Yes… I'm sure. Even if it's just a l-little…" A quiet, softer and more feminine voice replied.
In the distance, two figures could be seen walking towards the field. A boy and a girl. Their figures were still too far to be seen but at least their genders were distinguishable. Sasuke however, quickly recognised the voice.
"Kiba and Hinata." He said to Temari. "And no doubt that Shino's there with them also. We probably should get out of here as fast as possible. Kiba's a good tracker, plus he has the dog too."
"Nani!? Already!?" Temari asked. "You sure we can't trust them? Maybe they could get some clothes for us? Or maybe some food too…" She stared down at her stomach as she finished.
"No. Kiba's got a loose jaw and he'll probably end up telling any and everyone in one way or another." Sasuke hand grabbed Temari's and he dashed to the bushes, dragging her along.
This caught Kiba's attention. "Hey Akamaru! You see that!" He said pointing at the two distant figures dashing into the bushes. Their figures were blurry from the distance, but it was apparent that it was a boy and a girl.
"I-I do…" Hinata responded.
Walking a little behind them was a boy with brown spiky hair and shades. His coat's collar came high over his face and blocked more than half. He listened to what Kiba had to say. "…" Shino nodded.
A smirk came on Kiba's face. "Come on! Let's go!!" Akamaru barked from his place on Kiba's short, brown hair, giving his own approval.
"Y-Yes!" Hinata replied shakily.
The three began running towards the field, especially the two figures.
"Looks like we've been spotted!" Temari yelled as she noticed the trio picking up speed.
"Well then, hurry up." Sasuke deadpanned, moving faster.
"Hurry up eh? Well, how about I slow them down!" A smirk formed on her face as she snatched her hand from Sasuke and began doing hand signs. They rolled off her hands quickly, but not too quickly, as Sasuke quickly held her hands together and glared at her before she had enough time to finish.
"I thought you were supposed to be smart." He muttered. "Calm down, you can't use a jutsu on them."
"Oh yeah, just watch me." Temari inhaled greatly, gathering air and chakra whilst finishing off the hand signs.
Sasuke scowled. "No. Not like that. If you attack them, they'll presume that we're hostile and begin attacking. If we try to run once that starts, it's over. They will find us. They're the best tracking team of our year." Sasuke explained, pulling Temari once more.
Exhaling slowly, Temari turned round and followed Sasuke. Damn… That's twice he's showing me up! Him!! Of all people!! I'd prefer that Nara boy to do that to me instead!
The bushes approached fast, and they dove into them. Leaves shook and the sounds echoed throughout the field. Sasuke and Temari froze upon entering the bushes, hoping that the sounds would stop and they'd just turn away. Kiba and the rest of his squad ran into the now empty rounds, barely breaking a sweat. Their heads turned as they looked for the figures.
"Wh-Where did they go?" Hinata stuttered as she looked.
Kiba's ears perked up, and Akamaru's did also. His head turned slowly as he surveyed the grounds and surrounding area until they stopped where Sasuke and Temari invisibly lay.
"You hear that boy?" He called to the dog. A quick bark assured him. He pointed almost directly at Sasuke and Temari, though the bushes blocked him. "There they are!!"
Temari's eyes widened. "You've got to be kidding me!!" She said softly, but anything but calmly.
"Don't just lay there, move!" Sasuke countered as he himself began to crawl away from the team.
The bushes moved more as they crawled away, and Kiba's team came closer and closer.
"They're going to catch us!" Temari said. "You still sure we shouldn't cast a jutsu or two to get away?"
Sasuke looked around quickly. He needed something, anything. A branch lay near his side. "Yes, I'm still sure." He grabbed the branch and tossed it through the bushes to his side.
In turn, those bushes rattled and shook. Kiba's head turned as the noise met his ears. "He's trying to give us the slip!" He yelled. His hand moved to the right, which was where the stick flew. "That way! Hurry!"
Temari scowled. "That was… smart."
"Come on." Sasuke ignored the comment and continued on. Temari followed, crawling her way through as well.
The noises caused Kiba to stop. He and Akamaru's heads turned, alternating between the two causes of noises. "So that's their plan, huh?" He smirked.
Temari smirked too. "I thought so. You planned on confusing them, making them think we were going one way, and then going the other way. That would cause them to think that one was a diversion, but it would be unknown which one was it." She was crawling right next to Sasuke at that time. I hate to admit it, but the boy's got talent. I'll give him that.
"Too bad, cause it's not gonna work!" Kiba yelled. "Let's go Hinata!"
"Right." Hinata nodded. Her look became stern as she put her hands together in a hand sign. "Byakugan!!" The veins around her eyes enlarged, to the pint where they bulged out. Small lines also appeared in the centre of her white pupils, showing the intensity of her gaze.
Temari's eyes widened. "NANI!?! They have a Byakugan too!?!"
"Yeah." Sasuke deadpanned. "I told you, they're the best trackers of our year." He picked up his pace. "Now come on. If we don't speed up they'll catch us in no time."
Hinata looked around through her new Byakugan sight. Everything became visible, even behind her, thanks to the Kekkei Genkai. The three hundred and sixty degrees of the Byakugan caught everything a certain perimeter. They caught birds on branches chirping, small woodland animals staring in awe, and two figures crawling through some bushes. Completely naked.
Hinata's eyes widened at the last part, and she barely managed to keep her Byakugan on as she gasped. She quickly cringed them closed, and turned her head away even though that if her eyes were open it wouldn't make a difference. "Th-They're naked!!" She yelled as her face began to warm up.
Kiba's face lit up with a laugh. "No way!! Serious!?"
"Y-Yes!" She answered. "Th-That way!!" Her hands shakily pointed in the direction of Sasuke and Temari.
Kiba roared with laughter for a few moments, and then stopped to catch his breath. "There's no way I'm letting them escape us now!! Right Akamaru!?" The dog yapped excitedly at the idea. "This is just too good to pass up!! Come on!!" He leaped onto the nearest tree branch and turned to face his team mates. "What are you waiting for, a formal invitation? Let's go!!"
"R-Right!" Hinata said shakily before jumping onto the branch next to Kiba. Shino quickly followed.
Kiba pointed forward. "Hinata, lead the way!!"
"D-Do I have to?" She asked softly, pushing her index fingers together nervously.
"Yep." Kiba replied. "You're the only one who can track them now. Akamaru and I can't catch their scent and Shino's bugs can't reach them yet." He smiled for her. "So come on Hinata, you're the only one who can do it!"
Hinata breathed out slowly, slowly bringing her hands together the form the hand sign. "Byakugan!"
"Yeah!!" Kiba cheered. "Let's go Hinata!!"
Hinata faced forward and focus on the two figures, crawling in the bushes feet away from her. Her face began to flush as she focused on the two, completely nude people, as it penetrated through the leaves and around the barks.
Why couldn't they at least cover themselves with some leaves…? She thought as she leapt forward.
Kiba grinned madly as he followed Hinata. He turned to Shino. "Man, I can't wait to find out who it is! What if it's someone important, like maybe Asuma and Sensei?"
Hinata's face flushed more at the comment. What if it was the two jonin? She'd be following two grown people, one of which was her own sensei, into the bushes which they were completely naked in. Completely!
Temari nodded as she crawled next to Sasuke. "Ok, I get it." He explained the trio to them, their strengths and some of their weaknesses. "In that case, the Hinata girl would most likely be tracking us with her Byakugan while the other two follow…" She dropped into her thoughts. Alright, from what he told me, Hinata is a little mentally weak. She blushes madly every time she sees, of all people, Naruto, passed out when they were explaining the human body to them in the Academy and apparently hasn't gotten over the incident. Her mind sparked an idea. She scowled at it, because it wasn't really one which was in her favour. "I have an idea…"
"What?"
Hinata's eyes widened as she said what was taking place. The two figures had stopped, and her team was beginning to gain ground on them. The only thing was, with what they were doing, they didn't seem to care if they found them or not. The female figure crawled over, and made her way on top of the male figure. His hands slowly slid their way down from her shoulders, to her sides and finally stopping on her waist. His grip tightened and her hands came onto his shoulders. Their heads slowly drifted closer, heading on a direct collision course. Hinata's face turned completely red, and she immediately turned off her Byakugan. Her feet stopped moving and she remained stationery on her branch as her team mates caught up.
Kiba landed quickly, and walked slowly over to Hinata. His hand found its way onto her shoulder, and he talked in a softer tone. "Hinata? Are you alright…?"
She stayed motionless at first, only making the boy worry more. As he was about to turn her around himself, she spun on heels, revealing the trail of blood running from her nose and her red face. "I… I can't do it!!!" She bolted from her spot and dashed from tree to tree headed in the direct opposite direction. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"
Kiba almost fell from the tree at the outburst, and Akamaru yelped at his master as he almost lost his seat too. "Hinata? Hinata!!" He too took off, chasing after the girl. "Hey Hinata wait up!!"
Shino stared in Sasuke and Temari's direction for a few moments, and then took off after the rest of his team mates.
Hinat's screams echoed through the forest, and Kiba's own rang in shortly after. Temari stopped moving centimetres away from Sasuke's face. Her breath mixed with his in the small space between. She sat on his stomach, with her hands on his shoulders and his hands on her waist. The two stayed there, in silence for a few seconds, until the sound of screams and footsteps on branches disappeared.
"Looks like your plan worked." Sasuke said.
Temari smirked. "Of course it would. I thought of it, not you."
"Whatever." Sasuke stared at Temari expectantly for a while, until thrusting upwards. Temari jolted from her spot, and glared at the Uchiha. "Get off."
She fumed. "Well… Get your rapist hands off me!!"
Sasuke's hands dropped from her waist and onto the soft, grassy floor below. "Now, get off. You're not light you know."
"And you're not handsome." Temari glared daggers into his head as she got off him. "Ugly excuse for a man."
Sasuke stood up from the bushes. He took a look around, at the tall trees and semi-thick bushes. "We should be safe for now. Maybe we can finally make some read progress." He headed off to his left. "Come on."
Temari got up too, and dusted herself off. "Fine." The bushes reach up to her waist, blocking out anything below. The trees around them grew thicker than before, making it more difficult to get where you wanted to go.
The two walked in silence for what seemed like an eternity of walking. They passed tree after tree, through bush after bush, but somehow they didn't seem to hit any form of clearing or anything. Tension began to build as Temari's patience began to wear out. Her fists clenched and released periodically, helping her cope with the wait.
This idiot!! His own village and he doesn't even know his own way around it! She yelled mentally. I bet he's completely lost, but his manly pride won't let him admit it! She glared daggers into the young ninja's head she the thoughts ran through her head. A few moments later, she had had enough. "You're idiot, do you know that!?"
Sasuke looked back, as if he barely even cared about what she said. "…What?"
"You heard me!" Temari yelled. "What kind of ninja doesn't even know his way around own village! Pathetic!"
Sasuke glared at her. "You think we're lost?"
"Think!? Sasuke, I KNOW we're lost!! An idiot like you couldn't find his way out of a paper bag!" Temari yelled at him. Her already hot blood began to get hotter.
"A paper bag huh?" Sasuke said turning around. "If so, what can you get out of then?"
Temari's blood began to boil. "Says a pathetic ninja like you! What kind of weakling gets caught, beat and raped by a drunk!?" The words just came out, without her even having a chance to think of what she was saying before saying it.
Sasuke's eyes widened for a moment, and then turned into a death glare. One word in the whole sentence replayed in his head. Weakling… Weakling… Weakling…Veins began appearing on his eyes as that faithful memory played in his head. "…You're too weak. You lack Power… Your hatred is too weak… "… Take… that… back."
Temari growled. "Make. Me."
Sasuke's eyes turned red as the Sharingan began to take over. Its two (four in total) tomoe began spinning as he glared straight into the kunoichi's eyes. His hands pushed her away from him, and slamming into a nearby tree.
Temari smirked as she slammed into the tree. "Now you're talking!" She stepped away from the tree as if she was resting on it. "I'll show you how to really fight!"
Her hands abandoned their protective places over her 'areas'. Instead, they took their places along with her battle stance. At first, she reached back, expecting her hands to meet her fan, but she quickly pulled back, remembering her situation. No fan… Crap…"What are you waiting for? Come at me!!"
The entire area seemed to quiet down, waiting and looking to see what would happen next. The sounds of the birds died out, the woodland creatures stopped moving around and even the slow breeze which blew through the area stopped.
Sasuke smirked. "You asked for it!" He rushed to the girl, fist poised on his hip, ready to punch. Temari's waist lowered, in anticipation. As the boy neared, she tackled him head on, aimed to slam him into a tree. As soon as their bodies made contact, Sasuke leg flew into action kicking Temari off into some bushes. They rustled loudly as she entered, and some small animals scampered out of the way.
Sasuke smirked even more. "Give up now. It's over."
Temari stood from the bushes, with her own smirk on her face. "What? You said something!? All I could hear was 'Blah blah blah, bullshit, blah blah blah'! Come on! I'm not even warmed up yet!"
"Big talk coming from you. You won't even be able to bend my knee, so give up."
"Think again!" Temari said flying out of the bushes. Her arms were out, ready to attack again.
Sasuke's eyes spun rapidly, showing him the red outline of her next move. Again, he lunged at Sasuke, who stepped to the side to dodge. As he moved, he thrust his knee up, aiming for her solarplexis. Her right hand swung from in front of her to her chest, blocking the kick and throwing the knee back down. A quick roll as she landed was all that took place before she was back on her feet again. Her knee rose and a kick blasted towards Sasuke. The speed was incredible and Sasuke's Sharingan barely showed him the outline. Sasuke's eyes widened as he had to work to dodge that one.
"Oh, so you thought I was slow? Too bad!" Temari smiled. "And that's not the only trick I know too." Her fist shot from her side and collided with Sasuke stomach, before his Sharingan could send a proper image to his brain. Pain rattled Sasuke's stomach after the blow, causing him to lean a little forward. Temari wasted no time however, sending a quickly elbow to Sasuke's head. Sasuke's eye caught that one, but its timing could have been better. Instead of trying to dodge, he brought his head closer causing Temari's arm to hit, instead of the elbow. Sasuke flipped over and skid to a tree from the blow. His knees were bent and his hand dragged on the grassy floor in front of him.
Temari grinned. "Gasp! What is this? I bent your knee? How can it be?" She said it dramatically, using her hands for even more emphasis.
Sasuke growled. "I'll make sure that never happens again." Before Temari knew it, Sasuke was in front of her. Her eyes widened and she stood motionless as he swung a kick to her side.
BAM!!
She was blasted to her side, rolling through a couple of bushes until coming to a stop against a tree. Whoa… He's fast…Only thing is, I'm stronger! By then, Sasuke was dashing through bushes to her. She pushed off the tree behind her, sending her flying to Sasuke. Her fist clenched, and his did the same. The two neared each other, tension building in the air as the fists came closer, and closer. Wild animals held their breath as they watched the fight take place, the wind too stood still watching, watching her user fight.
At the last moment however, Temari straightened her body, allowing Sasuke's punch to go right over her and sending her right into Sasuke's waist. She slammed him onto the ground, keeping herself on top with her hands quickly moving from his waist to his shoulders. Sasuke scowled. He would not let it end like this. After placing his hands of her shoulders, he flipped her over, throwing her on her back and him on top of her. Temari glared. It won't end like this! She repeated the process, gaining the same results. The two continued to struggle, going through bush after bush, slamming into countless trees to just swerve around them. The sound of jungle creatures followed them, as the animals wouldn't let the biggest entertainment they'd had in a while roll away from them.
Suddenly, the bushes disappeared. All trees vanished and sunlight poured into their vision. At first it blinded them, causing both to squint, though still not letting go, at the sight. Then, the sight darkened. A figure stood over them as they now lay on some tamer, firmer grass. He stood over them, looking down at the two naked ninja. His hair blocked the sun and it went upwards. As their eyes adjusted, more of the figure became visible. His hair turned out to be silver, with a Konoha headband at the bottom blocking on eye. The lower portion of his face lay hidden beneath a dark blue mask, which matched the long sleeved shirt and pants he wore. The shirt however was semi hidden under a chuunin jacket, except for the sleeves. Sasuke cringed as he recognized the figure rather quickly.
Oh all people to find us…
"Sasuke?" The figure said, looking down. "And Temari?" His hand reached back, into his pouch and pulled out a small, orange book. He flipped through some pages before stopping, looking, staring at the couple, and looking at the book again. "Have you been reading my book during practice behind my back?" Sasuke scowled at the jonin's response, and Temari immediately let go of Sasuke and began to block her private areas. "Come on; let's get you two out of here."
"Ok, what's the meaning of this?" Kakashi asked the two as he said in a chair. The two sat on his bed, on the further ends away from each other, covered in blankets. They refused to make anything near eye contact, and each one looked in the opposite direction. Tension built in the room as silence once again took the floor. Kakashi sighed as they ignored his question. "Fine. Just know, I'm taking Sasuke's side when I tell the Village Council about this."
This got Temari's attention. "Wait!" She finally spoke up. "Don't…"
"Explain."
"Well, you see… My idiot brother pulled a prank on me and I got drunk, attacked Sasuke and raped him and now you found us fighting." Temari said quickly. "Basically…"
Kakashi sighed and walked over to the two of them, placing his hands on their heads. "Alright, I won't tell anyone. It's up to the two of you to make up your own stories. Sasuke, Sakura's been going crazy looking for you. Temari, I saw your brothers looking about for you two. Just go home and stop making other worry." He smiled through the mask. He turned and walked over to his closet. After opening it, he took out two pairs of Sandals and a pair of cloaks. "You'll have to wear these for now. That's all I can spare."
Sasuke glared. You sure or are you just too lazy to go look for more?
"Arigato." Temari bowed as she slipped the shoes on. Sasuke followed, putting his cloak on first.
"Oh yeah, and I suggest going from roof to roof." Kakashi added. The two nodded, although Temari's own had more than a hint of 'DUH!!' in it. Before Sasuke left Kakashi held him. "Sasuke… Are you sure you didn't take a peek?"
Sasuke glared at the jonin before leaving.
Temari quickly made her way to the hotel. She got a few curious stares from passers-by who wondered why was someone wearing a cloak for no apparent reason, but no one bothered to ask. As soon she got through the door, all head turned as everyone seemed to be there waiting.
"Temari!" Kankuro said happily. His mind then caught up with him. "Temari!?" He leaped behind Gaara. "S-So nice t-to see you!"
"Temari!" Baki called. The visible half of his face looked upset. "Where were you? You had your brothers worried."
"Oh," Temari fake smiled. "I just spent the night out. Thank Kankuro for giving me the idea." After that, she quickly turned, and raced to her room before anyone could comment on the cloak. She closed the door behind her quickly, and rested on it for support.
"Uh…" Came from outside. "You're not mad or anything, right"
"Oh, don't worry Kankuro. I'm not mad. No, not at all." She answered.
A sigh of relief came from outside.
"But just know, I know where you live, I know where you sleep, and I will get you for this."
Footsteps left quickly from behind the door, indicating that Kankuro got the message.
Temari's hands then slowly found their way to her waist, and she sank to the floor. A look of wonder plastered over her face as she sat there. What was that…? She sat there for a few more minutes, until she finally decided to grab her towel and wash herself off.
And that's what your long wait has been for. The next chapter won't take this long to come out though. I just had writer's block extremely badly. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah, and you don't have to worry anymore Mari. I got it covered.
