Hiding Skill
By: Silverwolf
Naruto stands with Kiba. The pair were walking a few dogs around the sanctuary while talking. The blonde narrows his eyes as he sees Sasuke. Kiba laughs. "He's here until his sentence is served. Don't pay him any mind Naruto."
Sasuke narrows his eyes a bit. Naruto responds by poking his tongue out at the Uchiha. The raven teen glares impatiently. Kiba laughs as one of the horses within the corral slams into Sasuke while running. Naruto notices the wince, but doesn't say anything.
Unlike Kiba and his other schoolmates Naruto didn't dislike Sasuke. The Uchiha however was very distant from everyone. After watching during the school years Naruto began to ponder if being frigid was Sasuke's defense. It seemed like a trait the young Uchiha had perfected.
Naruto half waves at Sasuke. The response he receives is a glare and the return of Sasuke's attention to the horses. Of course after one slammed into the Uchiha Naruto couldn't blame the raven teen, especially since Kiba was pracitically stretched along the ground with laughter.
The blonde half grins as he hears Hana speak. The older Inuzuka was happy to greet the blonde teen. Also she stated that Sasuke had been awake since three that morning. Truthfully Naruto couldn't grasp how the Uchiha was still awake at noon. Most would've returned to bed. Then again the Inuzuka family kept early mornings and they were awake.
Maybe Sasuke had become used to the things happening around the sanctuary or maybe the raven teen was nothing more than too tired to protest. Naruto watches Sasuke walk a horse towards the stable. The raven teen returns to the corral after leaving the animal in a stall. Naruto goes into the stable to grab leads as he realizes Sasuke is bringing in the horses.
The raven teen doesn't bother to give Naruto a second look even after the blonde clips a lead to a horse. Kiba hears his sister give him orders to help bring in the horses. Unhappily the younger Inuzuka starts to lead horses to stalls, completing the task with the other two teens.
Naruto point realizing the Sasuke can't hear a word between him and Kiba. Not only had the raven teen slipped away once the horses were in, but he'd completely disappeared. Naruto steps out of the stable to the clinic. Though Hana wasn't busy she gives the pair a signal to be silent.
Kiba snickers loudly watching. Apparently the Uchiha had skill in more than destroying property. Naruto laughs. Hana shoves the pair. It was obvious that there'd been years of practice is muscle moves causing Hana to grin briefly. Kiba points to Sasuke, "I thought that was a girl's skill." Hana shoves Kiba, "I want to see you do it. Seriously I do. Because I can't." Naruto laughs some, "I've heard of guys doing it, but didn't know he could."
Kiba laughs, "what the hell is it?" Naruto watches, "a combination of martial arts and belly dance." Hana grins a bit, "jealous?" The pair shakes their heads. Sasuke notices everyone standing in the doorway of the empty waiting room. The Uchiha is swift to disappear from sight. Tsume smirks a moment from where she's watching.
There was proof that Sasuke actually had practice in something besides being a full time delinquent. Tsume had been told by Hana that both of the Uchiha sons had been taking marital arts since they could walk. She had never expected to see the show that had taken place in the clinic waiting room. It must have lasted through at last three songs; only to end when Sasuke realized someone was watching.
Tsume looks at Kiba and Naruto, "you two can go about whatever you were doing. And hush up now." The blonde teen covers his mouth while laughing. The pair were still having themselves a lauging fest over the sight Hana had showed them.
