Here's chapter 2! I will try to update this fic fast but I'm not going to make any promises. Hope you guys like it! :)
As his name left my lips, his eyes looked directly at me, freezing me where I stood. Naruto took a step away from Sasuke, probably thinking I was going to wrap my arms around my old teammate in a hug. Sasuke just smirked down on me, obviously thinking the same thing.
I closed the distance between us and stood in front of them silently. I refused to look anywhere but the ground. "What's going on?" I managed to ask after a few moments of awkward silence.
Naruto took a deep breathe before starting. "Sasuke has come back to the village and has agreed to do what ever we say. He will become a Konoha citizen again and, eventually, a ninja." Naruto answered quickly. I let that knowledge sink into my head, going through it over and over again in my mind.
"What's his punishment?" I ask a little bit afterwards. "He isn't allowed to take on missions for a whole year, he is to help the community where I see fit, and he is to be under house arrest for the first month that he is here." Naruto listed off, counting by his fingers to make sure he got all three.
After a moments silence, I asked,"So what now?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head in thought, trying to think of an answer he hadn't thought of before. "I guess I don't really know."
I glanced at Sasuke and found him staring at me intensely. That was enough for a blush to alight itself on my face and for me to whip my head away in embarrassment. I heard Sasuke chuckle to himself.
"Um? How about you guys hug?" Naruto suggested. I stared at him incredulously. He couldn't be serious. I looked over at Sasuke who's face was turned and staring at a nearby tree. I walked up to him quickly, ignoring everyone's obvious discomfort.
Everyone else must have thought I was going to hug him like the fangirl that I used to be. But I stopped myself and thought about it. He doesn't deserve anything from me. He's killed people. He left us to gain power. And for what? To kill his brother and avenge his clan?
How well did that go for him? It left him feeling horrible and bitter towards the village that had once treated him like family, that's what. I wanted to hug him though. To hold him in my arms and scream at him.
But what I did next surprised even myself. With a chakra filled hand, I brought my arm around in a wide swing and slapped the bastard across the face as hard as I could. He seemed to fly back, landing at least ten feet away from where he once stood.
I huffed in anger and grabbed the hand that had just slapped him. It stung like crazy, but that one slap seemed to sate a thirst I never noticed before. I felt satisfied for some reason.
I glared daggers down at Sasuke and then looked at Naruto angrily. "It's going to take more than some damn hug before I will ever except him. He was dead to me the day he turned away from us and that is not about to change."
So what'd you guys think? Hopefully it wasn't absolutely horrible. Please tell me what you think. Reviews are appreciated. :)
