Hmmmmm, I moaned as I eased into the hot springs. Training had not been fun. GRRRRR. I hadn't been able to beat Sasuke, and now I have to be quiet for a whole week! Is that even possible? I wondered to myself unhappily. I really didn't want to go home and see Sasuke smirking at me. He's so smug! Grrr I growled. Then, sighing I headed home.
At Sasuke's house later.
Sasuke looked at me, and sure enough, he was smirking. I gave him a death glare which he ignored. I opened my mouth to say something, but Sasuke lifted an eyebrow at me, to remind me of the bet. I closed my mouth giving him the evilest glare I could. I stomped angrily to bed.
Later that night
I couldn't sleep, so I decided to explore outside. I was walking along the river. Suddenly, I heard a slight noise and turned and saw a kunai flying at my face. I felt fear even as I lifted my arm to block it, taking a deep wound to my arm. Dang I thought as I reacted instinctively diving behind a tree for cover. Then an explosive note nailed the tree next to me. I dove to the side, doing several hand signs and doing some ninjutsu, (or something like that). I sent hundreds of missiles if water towards the direction of my attacker. I felt something behind me and ducked, as a kunai slashed above my head. Then I turned and started fighting my attacker. Suddenly, there was another attacker. Dang, I thought unhappily as I continued to fight, they were both really good. There was no way I could beat them both. Suddenly, I saw I flash of color. The attacker in front of me fell, dead. I saw Sasuke in front of me, and then he did his thingy where he moves really fast and started fighting the other guy. Then, after a few minutes, Sasuke won. He then turned to me, saying, "Who were they?" "I don't know." I yelped defensively. "Right. Two special jouin from the Sound village come after you, and you don't know what its about. Tell me the truth." He finished, giving me a threatening look. "Well, there were some ninjas who attacked me right before I met you guys." I squeaked. "Why didn't you tell us?" He growled. "Well, it didn't seem important at the time."
Later, when Kakashi (sp?) was questioning you about the attack before I had met them. "You don't know why?" He asked, repeating the question for the fiftieth time. "NO!" I yelled, tired of it. "Did they say anything?" I hesitated a moment, then said, "No." "You're lying." Kakashi said calmly. "Am not!' I yelped defensively. "Are too. Come on, you can tell me." He said. "They said-said-" I began. Kakashi said, "What?" "They said something about a jouin, Hatake Kakashi, that that was why they were supposed to kill me."
Kakashi stared at me in shock, then asked "Why? What connection do u have with me?" "I don't know." I answered unhappily. Kakashi looked at me strangely, and then told me I was dismissed.
Kakashi's POV-
I ran quickly to the abandoned hut. Or, at least everybody thought it was abandoned. When there, I glared at the ninja I had hired inside, asking him what he knew of the girl. He said nothing, but I didn't believe him. After trying to get him to talk for 2 hours, I left, with no answers. It can't be her, I thought, realization shooting through my system, can't be.
Kasumi's POV
I ran
home quickly, not wanting to risk being attacked again. Sasuke
immediately began to question me. "Who were they?" He
demanded, glaring. I said nothing, and his glare intensified. I
pointed to my lips, and then mimed zipping them shut, reminding him
of the bet. "Oh, so now you want to keep your end of the bet!"
He growled angrily, and then stomped towards his room.
2 hour
later.
I woke up as a hand went over my mouth, and another over my throat, silencing any attempt to scream before it even began. I opened my eyes wide with fear. In the darkness, I couldn't see the man. Then I jerked my knee up to hit a very sensitive place, but he blocked at the last second. I began to squirm and fight anyway I could, but after a few minutes of struggling, his hand tightened around my throat. My struggles became desperate as I struggled to get oxygen. I looked at up at him, as I began to see spots. I felt my vision fade, and I lost all consciousness.
