GONE AWAY CHPTR. 4

SAKURA

HE LOOKED at me with admiration. "You certanley have changed. And I see yor chakara level has raised ALOT" he said, and turned his back on me. A perfect time to show him I wasn't weak.

I reached behind me and took outa shuriken and chucked it at him. Instantkey he dodged it letting it fly into a tree, and instantkey he was behind me. One arm wrapped around my waist, and another pushed the hair off of my neck. "Indeed you re not the girl that chased after me four years ago." he growled, and kissed me o the cheak.

I was stunned. "And you wher not this flirtatios then: I whispered.

He chuckled. "I 'm not flirting with you.. so don't give your hopes up.

I couldn't beleive this was happening... but... in those four years.. I lost abit of intrest in Sasuke. I mean, I still like him and all, but did I love him like I did?

He spn me around so he could look at me. I looked at him. He was wearing a chunine vest, and the jonine gloves. I didn't expect anything less from him. His eyes where the same, but his hair was long enough so he could put it into a ponytail. His shoilders got broad and of course he was taller.

"Oh yeah. You've changed." he said and coughed into his hand. He seemed focus on my chest and legs. Typical teenage boy.

"If you weren't flirting with me, then why did you kiss me?" I half laughed.

"Well, you kissed me goodbye, and my mom taught me, if they kiss goodbye, you kiss hello, no matter who it is." he said, and jammed his fists into his pockets. "And besides, you are an old friend."

I glared at him. "Oh, ge thanks..."

He smirked. "Trust me... girls are the last thing on my mind" he said. And as the same cold usauall self, he turned around and walked to his house. "Let's go. I'll put on some coffee."

We enetered the estate and I gasped. His mansion was put back together. It was painted and well decorated outside now. Last time I was there, it was run down. He made a nice living out of it though, and soetimes spent the night with Naruto or Kakashi.

We sat down in the dining room, and he fixed us some coffee. It was bitter ofcourse, but satisfying to my cafine needs. He looked at me for a while as if he couldn't beleive how much I had grown.

"Tsunade had had a confrence with the squad and I, and she said that you have obtained S ranked level missions, and have tooken down some of the most dangerous criminals, and have almosted reached MY level..." he said, emphasizing the word, "my" in there.

I grinned at what he knew. "What're you jelouse?" I asked.

He made a little noise with his lips, and laughed. "No! Why on earth would I be jelouse of you?" he asked right back.

I paused. "You said you wanted me to be better than you,"

"No, I said when you came back. You're back, and I don't see that you're better than me."

"Well, you haven't SAW have you?" I barked. He didn't beleive that I was as strong as him. I glared at him. He glared at me back.

"Do you beleive you can beat me, Sakura-chan?" whispered, and looked at me quiziccley.

I put my hands in my lap and looked at the table. I took in a breath and stopped again. "Yes..." I said. "I really do."

He didn't blink. I didn't blink. In a flash, he was behind me. Again, one arm around my waist and one was around my neck. "Today you prove it." he hissed. He wasn't afraid to kill me. I was no longer afraid to hurt him. He pulled me off of the chair and pinned me against the wall. "And today you take a new sensai, lesson number one: don't think I wount kill you." he said curtley.

I winced as he pushed me into the wall again. "Then take a lesson from me: lesson number one, don't think I WON'T KILL YOU!" I said, and pushed him off of me. He landed on the floor, and tied to get up. Before he could I performed a jutsu that no one could copy. Not even Kakashi, or Sasuke himself.

FLASHBACK: Ayasae ran into my room laughing and crying at the same time. I looked at her a little concerned. "I did it, Sakura. I finally made the Haruno Khekegenki. I did it baby sister." she screamed at me. I jumped up and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"What is it then?" I asked smiling. Ayasae told me, the reason that she went to Oudomai. She went there to study, anddo some research on the khekegenki she wanted to create for the clan.

She made a breakthrough.

"It is one I have to pass through by blood. One that will make history. This jutsu will aloow you to copy anything."

"But sister, that's called Sharingan."

"NO! Sharingan can't copy khekegenki though. But this...THIS CAN! I'll call it... uh... ummmmm... I'll call it Sarutobigan. After our leader." she said half teary after the mentioning of Saru's name.

END FLASHBACK

Sasuke was frozen. He looked at my eyes. They where like sharingan, but blue. Ayasae passed it onto me after cutting her hand and mine and pushing them together with our bloods mixing.

I started to giggle. "What? Do they look familiar?"

He groeled and jumped up, taking out a kunine and swiping it at me. I predicted every move, and dodged him. He got a little angry and summoned his sharingan. He tried to get me but I doded him again.

"Why don't you be a kunoichi and take a blow!" he said. I didn't mean to, but I stopped. He threw a punch at me. He hit me in the back. I yelled out in pain, and slumped to thefloor.

The pain in my back burned, but I did my best to block Sasuke while I was on the floor. He reahed ehind him and threw another kunine at me. My vision was blurry. That blow to the spine rattled me a bit, and mae it hard to see. I put my hands above my head and tried to protect myself.

The sharp pain hit me. The slicing blade cut into my arm deepley and stayed there. The hot blood ran down my arms. I set them down. I blacked out but could still hear and feel.

"Sakura!" sasuke yelled, and I felt him lift me up.

Ayasae

I hopped over the rooftops and reached Tsunades office. On cue, she opened the window an let me in. "You could have used a doorlike a normal person, you know." she said and plopped behind her desk.

"That would have crammped my style." I chuckled and sat in the chair crossed legged.

"I'm guessing you want the keys to the mansion, ye?" she asked, and peered over at me from behind her glasses. I nodded. She sighed and sat back in her chair. "You didn't bring Goemon?" she asked. Goemon was Tsunade's other student. He went to Oudomai like Sakura and I to do research and to train.

Goemon and Sakura became close, and Goemon became Sakura's boyfriend. They broke up not to long ago when she found out she had to get married for the first branch of our clan. She didn't want it to be Goemon to marry her. But I had a feeling that Goemon wanted her back.

"He was busy and told us to go without him." I lied. Tsunade flipped through a handbook.

"Really? That's a shame. I wanted to know how his research went." she sighed. "Anywho, I have a suprise for you. In fact, it's on it's way now."

I raised and eyebrow, and heard the door open. Tsunade smiled up at whoever was there. "Lady Hokage, you wanted to see me?" said a deep male voice that hadn't changed sence I last saw hi. I smiled to myself. He didn't notice me yet.

"Sit down next to my client, Kakashi." she grinned, evidently trying to got him to notice me.

"Yes ma'am," he said and sat down next to me. Tsunde's eyes flickered from me to him. Kakashi glanced over at me, and did a double take. "Ayasae!" he said, suprised, and he stood up as I stood up. "You look beautiful..." he said, looking me up and down.

"You don't look half bad yourself, prettyboy." I giggled. He had his mask off. His gorgeous features where impecable. I wanted to kiss him, sadley.

"How long are you here?" he asked.

"Fer'ever," I said. His eyes light up.

"You mean, you're moving here?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm moving in with Sakura into the Main house."

"That's great!"

I smiled at him. Tsunade told us to get a room, so we headed down to the Ichiriaku ramen bar ad had some dinner. We sat at the counter for a little while.

"Is this the date you wanted?' I asked looking behind me./

"No," he said. "THE date is for later."

"Oh, so this is like a warm-up date?" I said, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Exactley." he said. He asked me about Sakura and how her training went. I told her how well she was doing and all of the missions she has done. He was defenitley impressed. I didn't tell him of the Khekegenki I discovered though.

We alked over to his house and on the way we flirted with eachother. He leaned on me, and I put my head on his shoulder. He looked at me in the corner of his eye. I sighed, and he inched his hand closer to mine. I grabbed it and we laced fingers.

Great. I was offically falling for him. We stoppedat his house. The day had passed rapidley. The sun hid behind the trees and faded away. He was infront of the door looking at hia feet with his hands in his pockets.

"It was nice to see you back." he whispered.

I looked up at him. His mask was pulled back up. "I had a nice time today..." I whispered back.

"So, when else do you want to go out?" he asked.

I smiled. He was ruining it for me. "Maybe when I feel like it." I giggle-whispered. He smiled benaeth the mask and leaned in towards me. I put a hand on his neck. He took a step in closer. I pulled his mask down once more. He kissed me. It was a small kiss, and made me want to taste him more. I pulled back though, not wanting to linger too much.

"I'm gonna go inside now..." he said, only pulled away a few centimeters away.

"I'm going with you..." I said, and kissed him again. He pulled back and sighed happily.

"I was afraid you'd say that." he chuckled and oushed open the door, taking my hand lightley in his. He pulled me inside, and shut the door. I looked at him. The room was a little dark but you could still see.

He was six feet apart from me, but he rushed at me, and swooped me in his arms. He kised me, and slid his jands down my body. I shivered at his light touch. He softley chuckled.

I knew where this was leading to. I knew it was going to fast. But did I care? Hell no. I knew I liked him more than I should. Sence I first had saw him I thought I was in love. Love at firstsight, I guess.
