Chapter 4: Plans
--
Recap: Naruto pulled away from Sakura, "But getting rid of you may be the only way of saving ourselves!"
Sasuke laughed again, "Naruto, knowing you, that would only make things worse. Anyway, I know you and you are not anywhere near that selfish."
"but--"
"Why don't you stop trying to hide it, it is so very obvious and whatever you say won't change my mind. I don't believe you guys would ever kill me, you love me far to much for that!"
All was silent. Sakura and Naruto had nothing to counter that. As Sasuke said, there was no use saying anything more for there was no changing Sasuke's mind. he was right anyways.

Sasuke soon lead them to a room immersed in darkness. Sakura and Naruto were still tense from the .. "heated conversation" they had earlier. Their hearts beat rapidly but not as loud as before and they could manage to walk normally. But it didn't help much as they walked into the dark room while Sasuke lit a candle and stared at them with such a serious expression.
"So when do you plan to do it?" Sasuke said after a minute or so.
"You know perfectly well we aren't even sure of what to do. Anyway, I thought you didn't think.. you knew that we can't do it."
"I don't."
"Then why ask?"
".." Sasuke thought for a moment, "I don't know."
As much as Sasuke didn't want it to show, he gave out a clue that he was even the littlest bit scared of wheather or not they would actually kill him. He knew that they were very strong (at least Naruto was) and who knew if they had gotten any stronger. They must've gotten stronger because they could not have done absolutely nothing over all that time. But anyway, just as Naruto and Sakura had become more powerful, Sasuke too, trained and has become stronger. (Author's note: is it just me or did I use the word stronger too much? I don't like this paragraph..)
There was an eerie silence. It didn't help that the only light in the world was coming from a small candle whose light flickered on the wall, casting shadows which danced against the ceiling and wall.
"So. What do you plan to do?" Sasuke broke the silence.
A pause.. and Naruto responded, "Do you seriously think we can come up with a solution that quickly?"
"You're from Konoha, right?"
".. Yes."
"That's why I thought you could."
"Is that it?! Just because we're from Konoha? Don't judge us based on the place we came from! You know perfectly well anyway that we aren't that good. You don't have to make it any worse!" Sakura yelled. She knew there was more that she wanted to say.. but she couldn't quite think of it.
Sasuke knew. He knew what they were like. He knew that they were Konoha ninjas yet they weren't as good as they should be.. although he did believe they were getting stronger and stronger and could. most definately, become worthy of their title.
"Now what?" Sasuke asked after a moment or so.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"What are you going to do? Just sit around?"
"We're going to stay here until we figure out what to do." Naruto answered for Sakura.
"Oh, did I say you could?" Sasuke asked sarcastically.
"You don't want to die right?"
"That's right."
"Then we'll just have to stay here for now."
".. Fine."

Oh wow. I barely know what I'm doing with this story. I don't like this chapter much. It didn't turn out that well and it's pretty short. I'm just in a hurry of posting this.. that's way my chapters are always so short. Seriously though, why hasn't anyone reviewed? To make this story good, I need your opinion. It's hard to write without any reviews.. I want to know what you think. So maybe until I get at least10 reviews, I'll post the next chapter. Like I said, I'm desperate. And you guys are lazy!
