Chapter 7 - Path of Revenge
Sasuke was sent on a mission with Sora's team today and they were to drop off some water boxes at the next town. "All right, you 4 will drop off the water boxes at the next town. I'll check on you guys in a couple of hours. If anything goes wrong I will get angry", says Kakashi looking at Sasuke with warning eyes. Kakashi leaves and the 4 people walk to the water boxes. "I think we should bring the water boxes together and watch each other's backs so no one gets hurt. If so, we can get this mission done fast", says Sasuke. "Gee Sasuke who made you the boss of the team. I know that you are on Kakashi's team, but you are not the boss of us", says Yuki. "I know, but I don't have time for this boring mission. I got stuff to do". "Guys come on, lets get the water boxes and follow Sasuke's plan so that we can get this done. There's no need to argue", says Sora. Yuki and Sasuke turn their heads and the 4 of them go off to turn in the water boxes at the next town.
Yuki was close by Sora at the front and tries to look at her closely while Sasuke starts to question Yuki's actions. As they take a break, Sora checks to see how far they are while Sasuke, Yuki, and Lais sit down to rest. "Hey Lais, I think I'm going to ask Sora on a date". "Really? Good luck. She's way out of your league and not to mention, she's really cute". Sasuke gets irritated and could not help himself, but growl at the 2 guys. "Hmm. Can you guys shut up and focus on other things. We still need to focus on the mission and not girls". "Well Sasuke why don't you hold your big ego and stay out of my business huh?" Sasuke walks off and Sora returns to tell the boys that they are 2 miles close. As they are about to turn in the boxes, Yuki asks Sora if she wants to go out with him. "I don't know. We're too young to be going out". "Come on Sora, you live on your own and you can do whatever you want". "Just shut up! Leave Sora alone. If she does not want to go out with you then she shouldn't be pressured to do so". "I don't know what's up with you Sasuke, but you are really annoying today". "Oh yeah. Why don't you come here and I'll put the annoying in you". "Come on guys lets not fight. It really isn't fair. Yuki you should be nicer to Sasuke, he's going through a lot right now". "Why should I bother. Sasuke is a loser who cares about himself and not anyone else". Sasuke walks off wanting to be alone. "You didn't have to be mean to Sasuke. You need to apologize". Lais agrees, but Yuki does not want to do it, so Sora decides on something else.
Alone at the pond, Sasuke looks at the water and remembers the traumatic event when Itachi put the genjutsu on him. As he gets angrier, Yuki comes over to talk to him. "Hey Sasuke I want to apologize for what I said. I know it was messed up, but I regret saying those things". "Hmmm. Why should I listen to you anyway. You're annoying and don't deserve to be with Sora". "I'm sorry. I know what's going on. You are mad that Itachi beat you up and want revenge on him. Why don't we shake hands". As Yuki was trying to get Sasuke's hand, Sasuke punches Yuki in the face and he falls down on the ground. "Hmmm. You're a loser and useless to me. You are a waste of my time. Look at you crying with those sad eyes". Sasuke looks at Yuki with a grin and out of the bush comes Lais and the real Yuki. "Sasuke. What the hell is wrong with you. Do you have any idea what you just did", says Lais.
Sasuke is shocked to see that there are 2 Yukis, but could not understand why there would be 2. The fake Yuki disappears and Sora was the one playing the fake with a substitution jutsu. "What is this? Sora why?" "Sora are you okay? Oh man, you look really hurt". "Its fine. Its all my fault. I was trying to help Yuki". Sora's cheek was red and swollen from Sasuke's punch. "Sora. I…I..I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know what to do"? Sora looks at Sasuke with sympathy and tells him that she forgives him. "It's okay Sasuke". Sasuke gives Sora a hug and much to Yuki and Lais's expression, it was the first time they saw Sasuke actually hugging a girl. Sasuke looks at Sora with a sad face and holds her again. The 2 go to the hospital to get Sora's cheek healed. "What happened to your cheek", says one of the nurses. "I fell down on a rock", as she looks at Sasuke. When they got out of the room, Sasuke apologizes again. Kakashi appears.
"I heard from Lais and Yuki that you 2 were here, what happened and why were you 2 in the hospital?" Sora tries to backup Sasuke. "I fell on my cheek, but I'm fine. Sasuke was really nice to bring me here". Kakashi looks at Sasuke with angry eyes. "Sasuke, come with me I need to have a talk with you. Sorry Sora, but I have to go now. Take care". "Bye Kakashi, bye Sasuke". "Sasuke, What did I tell you about your anger. I know you're mad at Itachi and want to avenge Naruto, but you can't take out all your anger out on everyone. You hit a girl and not just a girl, but someone as nice as Sora. You should feel ashamed". "I do, but I apologized to her many times and she forgave me". "If you punch Sora again I will punish you got that". "Hmmm. Whatever". While Sora walks home, she goes into an alley and sees a group of men closing her path. "What's a piece of trash walking around in this area huh?" "I'm sorry, I'll walk somewhere else". Sora tries to run, but one of the guys tries to grab her.
Sora tries to run, but they block her way so she uses fireball jutsu that she learned from Sasuke to distract the men. Sora kicks some of the guys, but one of them grabs her hair. "It looks like your out of options". As Sora was about to grab her kunai to cut loose Kakashi appears and attacks the guys. "Thanks Kakashi I don't know how much I'll owe you, but thank you". "Its no problem now go home safe okay". Sora goes home and as she walks home, she feels someone close to her. She checks, but no one is there. In the shadows, Orochimaru looks at Sora with devious eyes, hoping to get a hold of her.
