~Ch. 3~

i was up in the middle of the night again... i never slept for long periods of time. i wasnt sure why. i looked over at Sasuke in his little sheltered sleeping area. i had noticed that he looked sweet and innocent when he slept. my body moved itself, i wasnt sure why, but it went over to sasuke and sat itself infront of him and started to pet his hair. he twitched the first time, but then nestled into his arms that acted as his pillow for the time being. when i saw a smile cross his face, i blushed. 'emo-boy just smiled...' i smiled in return, my body acting on its own accord again. i stayed like that for maby an hour or two before i went back to my pile of leaves i had made into a make-shiftr bed, and then dozed off again.

i woke up again to see Sasuke was gone. ...i went over to the little stream i had found before to bathe in, and saw Sasuke bathing... i swear i must have turned bright cherry red. i hid behind a tree, 'what if his sharingon is on? could he see me? does he know im here? why cant i move!' all these thoughts and more flowed threw my head as i watched the water glisten off him, it reminded me of a book i had read not long ago, wear the vampires sparkled in the light like daimonds. heh, i guess that made me the fradgle little human that needed to be saved? i finaly gained controle of my legs, i ran back to our camp and waited for Sasuke to come back.

.::20 minutes later::.

Sasuke came back, but only in his shorts. i saw his curse mark fully for the first time. i guess i was staring at it because he looked at me. i went back to weaving a basket. i was making one so we could put fish for fruits or stuff in. he sat over in his section of the small clearing we were in and ruffled his hair, trying to get some of the left over water out of his messy black hair.
i set my almost-basket down and went up to him. he looked up at me, waiting for me to ask some dome question or somthing, "Sasuke... do you mind if i ask you a question?" he just looked at me still, a guess waiting. weither that was a yes or no, i took it as a yes, "who gave you that keychain?" i dont think that was the question he was expecting, because his placid expression changed to a bit of a surprised one, "oh... um... just a girl... a long time ago." he said, getting quite torwards the end of his sentance. i smiled some at him, still a bit cutious, "its verry pretty, but i never would have imagened you likeing somthing like that." i giggled some at the end. he must have thought i was making fun of him because he scowled at me. "oh, Sasuke, i didnt meen-"
he cut me off, "YOU STUPID GIRL, SHE DIED! HAPPY? MY COUSIN DIED AND THIS IS ALL I HAD OF HER! NO LEAVE ME ALONE!" he shouted at me before jumping into the trees and taking off.
i stood there, shocked. i didnt meen to make him upset. "Sasuke... im sorry" i mumbled to myself. i went back to my basket and finnished it. then went and got fruits and berries, and cout a few fish and sat the basket near Sasuke's sleeping area and hung the fish a bit awayfrom it for him.

when Sasuke came back, he looked tired, and like he had been crying. there were cuts on his wrists. i frowned at him, i wanted to let him be, but it wouldnt look verrygood if my partner died on our mission.
"Sasuke-"
"Go away Ami, leave me alone!"
"Sasuke, give me the razor... and the lighter."
he glared up at me, the white of his eyes now red. i looked sorrowfull at him, i hadnt ment to make him cry. "im sorry Sasuke, but i really didnt meen it."
he steady glared at me... one thing came to mind, but it could go either way; he could shove me away and yell at me, and the reest of the month would be miserable, or he could like it and we could start to be friends... oh well, i went for it. i knelt down to him and hugged him. ...he hesistated, but then huged me back. it was an odd sight for any one else, but it seemed like it was bitter-sweet to me. i felt him grip my shirt and hug me a little tighter. i started to rub his back, "Sasuke, im not going to hurt you... please let me have them. im sorry for what i did earlier" i whispered.
he pulledback, i thought he was going to yell at me maby, but he reached into his pocket and pulled out the razor, lighter, and cig.s.
i smiled at him and kissed his forehead. "thank you Sasuke-kun."
the kiss and pet-name made him blush a little, i smiled at him and went back over to my side of the clearing to hide the objects.
