~Azumi's POV~
As I awoke from my slumber, I saw that there was someone in the room-house thingy. I rubbed my eyes and saw that it was Sasuke. He was sitting against the wall, sleeping.
"He looks so... peaceful. So fragile and vulnerable. He looks cute!" I murmured to myself.
Suddenly, Sasuke started twitching. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope he didn't hear me. One of his eyes cracked open, as he smirked. Oh no! He heard me! I got up and tried to walk outside as if I hadn't said anything, but suddenly an arm grabbed me by the shoulder.
"Are you okay? You feel a little... hot," Sasuke whispered into my ear.
"It's nothing!" Why is my heart racing? I brushed his arm off my shoulder and walked outside. He followed me and stayed close. We left the premises to go buy food. Sasuke was going to need to buy more food if he planned on making me stay. I tried my best to ignore him so I looked everywhere, anywhere but him. It seemed as if Sasuke was ignoring me as well. I lost track of where I was walking and crashed into someone.
"OOOW! I'M SOR- WOAH!" I shouted when I seen the person I had crashed into's eyes. They were a beautiful lavender color.
"Ugh. Watch where you're going, will... you?.." the guy trailed off when he seen me. Am I that ugly or creepy looking?
"Are you Akarashi Azumi?" The guy questioned.
"And you are..." I asked.
"I'm Neji Hyuuga. I've heard about you. You don't look like someone skillful enough to kill two S-Rank ninjas..." Neji 'complimented'.
"Geez, I'm flattered," I exaggerated as Sasuke pulled me towards him.
"You're one to talk, Hyuuga!" Sasuke said, glaring at Neji. What's up with him and getting mad so easily?
"I was joking and this is between me and her, Uchiha," Neji argued back as he grabbed my other hand and pulled me towards him.
This went on for quite awhile. I felt like a rag doll being used as a tug-o-war rope. I pushed them both off me and slammed them into each other. JEEZ! They were REALLY pissing me off!
"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY! I'M NOT A DOLL TO BE PLAYED AROUND WITH, YA KNOW?! JEEZ, YOU GUYS ACT LIKE A MARRIED COUPLE!" I shouted. I'm pretty sure I woke up the dead and the living.
Sasuke and Neji were glaring at me. I could care less. Who in their right mind does this IN THE MORNING?! I stood there scolding them for who knows how long.
"I'm leaving! Don't bother following me if all you're gonna do is argue, Sasuke!" I commanded angrily. Sasuke responded with his famous 'Hn'.
As I walked away, I heard footsteps following me. I thought it was Sasuke until I heard a water dripping kind of sound. Sasuke and dripping? Nope, something's off. I turned around and saw a tunnel of water charging for me. OH HELL NO! I jumped out of the way, into a tree. There were two guys with long black coats that had red clouds. One guy had black hair that was tied back. He had bags under his eyes, sort of like a guy I met once. He was cool... and hot. He looked REALLY familiar. There was also a blue guy who looked like.. a.. SHARK?! What... the heck?
"Come out. Don't be shy. I'm only here to greet you and the Kyuubi kid, right Itachi?" Sharky, the shark guy, said to the man next to him. That name sounded REALLY familiar. Oh please no!
Itachi activated his... Sharingan? "OH MY GOSH! IT IS HIM! WHY, OH WHY?!" I mentally shouted when I got a good look at him. I had met Itachi when I was little. My mom was yet to be found still when Itachi would come visit me. He would always cheer me up when I was sad. He'd visit me whenever he was on missions and happened to pass by my clan's establishment. How did this happen? And why does he have the Sharingan? So then, he's an... Uchiha!?
"You can come out... or I can go for YOU. Your choice. What will it be?" Itachi asked so soothingly. Dang that Uchiha and his looks! I was about to charge for them until I heard someone else come. I cursed under my breath. I couldn't handle Itachi or shark dude. Another person, jeez! I'm done for!
"What are YOU doing here, Itachi?" Sasuke growled. Sasuke's here? I peeked out of my hiding spot and saw Sasuke approaching Itachi and shark dude.
"Sasuke, this has nothing to do with you. Besides, you're to weak to try and stop me, isn't that right, Kisame?" Itachi asked shark dude which I'm assuming is "Kisame".
"I'm not a kid anymore. I'm much stronger than I used to be. My goal is to kill you, ITACHI!" Sasuke yelled, charging for Itachi at full speed. I noticed Kisame was missing.
"WATCH OUT, SASUKE!" I shouted as I ran to protect Sasuke. Before I knew it, I was gasping for air after being slammed in the stomach by a weird, heavy sword thing.
"AZUMI, YOU BAKA! WHAT'RE YOU THINKING?!" Sasuke scolded me.
"YOU'RE ONE TO TALK! WHAT'RE YOU THINKING, SASUKE?! TAKING THEM HEAD-ON, ARE YOU CRAZY?!" I retorted angrily, but weakly due to my stomach hurting. I flinched a few times as I tried getting up, but managed.
"What do YOU guys want with me, huh? Don't tell me... You were sent here only knowing that you need to capture me for some reason, right?" I sarcastically asked.
Kisame looked at me with a clueless face while Itachi looked... neutral. "That's about right. How'd you know?" Kisame asked with a sharky grin. Get it? HAHAHA, nevermind. I literally face-palmed at how he answered me.
"Just a hun- MOTHER- WAH!" I shouted as I dodged some water tunnels of fury Kisame sent my way. Sasuke was, without a doubt, pissed off. He had his Sharingan activated, the whole shebang. I noticed the serious aura (barely) and got serious myself. My life was on the line yet, I couldn't even be serious for myself. Man, I'm hopeless. I also activated my own eyes. Now I was serious.
"Don't look into her eyes, Kisame. She can only control you of you look into her eyes first," Itachi informed Kisame. HOW DID HE KNOW THAT?! I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYBODY THAT!
Sasuke was looking at me with an is-that-true face. I reverted my eyes from his. I was only focused on fighting these two mo-fo's. I charged for Kisame, rather than charging at Itachi. I couldn't bring myself to fight him. He had been so kind to me. That just couldn't be him.
"Itachi, I'm not sure if you do remember me, but I know that you're not like this!" I shouted as I dodged a swing from Kisame's weird sword thing. "And besides, you're too hot to be evil!"
As I looked to Itachi, I saw that Sasuke was fighting him. They both had faces with hidden sorrow. I continued to dodge Kisame's attacks, but got engulfed in a HUGE water vortex thing when I got lost in my thoughts.
"I got the girl, Itachi. This was a piece of cake, wasn't i-" Kisame struggled out when we interlocked eyes.
Almost immediately, Itachi appeared by Kisame and disappeared in a flock of crows. WTF? I was finally released from my imprisonment and landed on the floor. I looked at Sasuke. He had such eyes full of hatred, sorrow... regret for some unfamiliar reason. I got up and dusted myself off when I felt dizzy.
"Oi, A- AZUMI!" Sasuke's voice was the last thing I heard as I dozed away.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I felt empty. And hungry. I opened my eyes and lifted myself off the bed I was on. I had a headache while my eyes stung real bad. I flinched when I looked at the window. The sun was REALLY bright compared to every other day. It was... SUNSET?! HOW LONG HAD I BEEN SLEEPING?! IT WAS MORNING WHEN I GOT KNOCKED OUT!
"SASU- UGH!" I shouted, ignoring my pain, as I landed on the guy I was looking for. "Sasuke!" I shouted in glee as I sat upright on his stomach.
"What is it? You're already starting a ruckus and you just got up," Sasuke teased making me pout angrily.
"My bad. Anyway, WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?!" I shouted angrily.
"Well, I had some training to do and you are a really heavy sleeper. Literally," He teased again making me punch him in the stomach.
"Jerk. You wouldn't happen to know if anybody stopped by... Would you?"
"Why?" Sasuke asked sternly while glaring.
"Who knows! What if somebody tried raping me while I was sleeping or what if Itachi and Kisame would have came back?"
"I doubt so. Now that we're talking about Itachi, how do you know him?" Sasuke suddenly seemed dark. I gulped nervously.
"Is that important? I only saw him a few times while he was on missions. So what?" I asked shrugging.
"Don't EVER go near him. If you do, I will get BOTH of you. You understand?"
"Bossy, much? Fine I won't. Promise!" I happily shouted as I stuck out my pinky.
"Why did you call Itachi 'hot'? He's the enemy yet you're complimenting him."
"I can't resist complimenting him. He's so PERFECT! And supposedly, Uchihas' are perfect."
"...So you're saying I'm perfect? People do say I remind them of Itachi," Sasuke responded with a smirk.
I began feeling hot, hotter than the sun. Then I realized I was on Sasuke. I got off him quickly, but not quick enough. He sat upright, grabbed my hand, and pulled me towards him, hugging me. My heart began racing quickly.
"S-S-Sasuke, w-what are you d-doing?" I asked anxiously as I felt his hand rub my back. I got the shivers.
"Azumi," He then grabbed my shoulders to make me face him and continued,"do you like anyone?"
"NARUTO!" I exclaimed happily. His eye began twitching.
"I mean do you love somebody?" He asked tightening his grip on my shoulder.
"Sasuke, that hurts!" I pushed his hands off my shoulders and got up.
"Even if I did, why do you care?" I asked glaring.
Before I knew it, Sasuke and I were face to face. He wrapped one hand around my waist and cupped my cheek with the other. His face was so close, close enough to kis-... Too late. I didn't know how to react. 'This is so unlike him' is what Sasuke's fan girls would think if they saw this. Though, from what I've seen, this is normal-ish.
"Well, I have to go..." Sasuke awkwardly said. I stared at him with a what-the-heck face.
"Okay. I guess see you later..." I responded twirling my fingers together.
This was quite awkward. I have to live with someone who... likes me, I think? I was feeling confused and lost. I REALLY needed to see Naruto now. He'd cheer me up! And so off I went. It was night so I made a decision to... SPEND THE NIGHT AT NARUTO'S! I wonder how Sasuke would react if he found out. Oh well. We'll see!
