Warning: Short chapter!
I must say that the story will be a little different from the manga because I didn't expected that the Kage's meeting would lead to what is happening now, so expect a few changes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 6: I'm awake. I'm a believer.
(Kasumi's POV)
I woke feeling a little dizzy. And then I remember the previous night. I tried not fall asleep but I did and now looking to my side there wasn't any Uchiha lying in the bed.
'Shit…'
I quickly got up. So quickly that my head started spinning and I had to grab the table for support.
"Why are you reading this poor man letters'?" A deep voice asked me. I turned around only to meet Sasuke looking slightly annoyed and raising a brow.
"It's nothing from your concern Uchiha." I snapped at him.
He just smirked at me. "Whatever, I don't really care about you, Konoha folks are doing." He glanced at me and I almost could feel the challenging in his eyes.
"Right…" My tone made clear that I didn't believed in him. "Anyway I'm leaving. I have already done everything that I needed." He looked at me, and it almost seemed disappointed some how.
"Do as you wish. I'm leaving too, I can't afford to play around in times like these." He stated and got up. "By the way, I don't think that it's professional to fall asleep and almost crush the others that are in the same bed." I blushed.
"I was tired and… I move around a little when I sleep." I explained he chuckled a little.
"I hope you don't have a boyfriend, I think he would not survive a night with you." I fumed with this comment. Who the hell he thinks he is?
"Whatever. I'm leaving." With that I grabbed all my stuff and my sword. And directed myself to the door.
"Wait." I turned around. "I have a little a question for you. Who made that sword?" He asked me. I raised a brow at him.
"I did."
"Alone?" A smirk crossed his lips.
"No, a colleague helped me." I explained.
Flashback
"Luca, do I finish with the water now?" I asked a boy with black hair and black eyes. He looked at me, a smirk gracing his gorgeous features.
"No Kas… You have to be patient." He smiled warmly at me.
"Pff… This is too much work for me!" Having thirteen years old wasn't easy and I was rather impulsive.
Luca just sighed.
"Master won't be happy. She said that you need to make your own sword." He stated. "Just a little more patience won't hurt." He explained while putting some more logs in the fire. We were both sweaty and I was terribly tired.
"Okay Luca…But why do we need this?"
"It will be easier to fulfil our missions goals." He stated. His stare became blank.
"Luca?" I asked concerned.
He snapped out of it and smiled. "Yes?"
End of Flashback
"I see…" Sasuke stated. "Anyway, thanks for helping me." It seemed hard for him to say those words.
I smirked. "You own me Uchiha." With that I left to the skies ridding my sword.
------
(Sasuke's POV)
Stupid girl and stupid smirk, that was probably what my mind kept thinking and thinking because all I could see were her eyes.
It was rather strange how she could fascinate and annoy me at the same time, but nevertheless I decided to shrug it off and focus in getting back to the hideout. I didn't know what to do next: stick with Madara or do things by myself. Either way it was going to be complicated. Leaving the poor bungalow behind I left, running quickly because of the chakra that was on my feet. I could almost hear Karin yelling at me.
---
(Kasumi's POV)
I arrided Konoha by dawn. The village was calm, and no sound could be heard. Making my way to the library I stuck my key (which was stolen) and opened the hard wood door. The door cringed a little but it wasn't that loud. With the letters that I found in one hand I made my way to the basement. Finally I had a clue: on the letter that I retrieved from the bungalow where hints about the localization of the true records that contained the reasons for the Uchiha massacre. Uchiha Itachi knew about this, Imishi Kumo knew about this and probably the conseilers and Danzo didn't know where they had been put. So this was a huge vantage for me. 'Anyway, I steel have to read Itachi's book, it might have more clues about this mystery.'
I was so absorved in what I was doing that I didn't heard the door open. The figure walked in, and I snapped when I heard a man's voice.
"What are you doing here?!"
I jumped startled, and the papers fell on the floor, but I paid no attention to this fact. I looked around only to meet Kakashi Hatake and he seemed dead serious.
"Uh… I'm making some research." I explained briefly while catching the papers from the floor.
"Right…" He said and sat on one dusty old chair. "So tell me, how did your mission go?" He asked me. I gulped. Should I tell him about Sasuke?
"Show me your Sharingan first." I demanded. I needed to be sure that was really him.
He complied, and I see it. The red eye staring at me, it was always something weird for me, the fact that the sharingan eyes didn't show emotions.
"I found Sasuke." His eyes widened and it seemed like he was going to choke but he hold on.
"And then?" He asked me. I explained everything to him, and he listened carefully. He even seemed relieved for some unknown reason.
"It's seems like Sasuke isn't has cold as I thought he would be…" He said while looking at some book's cover. "You did well. It was the wiser decision. But that doesn't explain what you are doing here."
"I just can't tell you. It's confidential." I told him.
"I understand but sometimes it seems that you carry too much of a weight on your shoulders. It's good to open up to people." He explained me.
I knew that, and I wanted to, but I couldn't. That was impossible, and I never could betray my master's confidence on me. It was just the way I was raised.
"I know, but I can't. So, may I tell Naruto and Sakura about this?" I asked trying to change the subject of the conversation.
"Yes, you may. And you can tell Shikamaru too, but don't tell anyone else. In times like these we need to be extra careful." I nodded. "Well, then I should be going. See ya." And raising his hand he disappeared.
Things were becoming more and more complicated, and this wasn't going anywhere. I growled in frustration. This was a foolish war and a foolish mission. And I was the one that was caught in the middle of this.
I got out of the library and looked to the skies. What can I say? I believe in hope. So I guess that's what makes me keep going. Anyway I didn't want to think on these stupid questions anymore because the answers would fall from the skies. All I wanted now was to drink a nice tea, get some sleep and tomorrow see my students so I could yell at them because they were lazy.
With a smile on my lips I walked down the street.
(Normal POV)
Black eyes saw the pink haired girl walk down the street. The figure chuckled.
"Still the same Kas, always happy no matter what… Well, soon that will change. Nobody is ready for what is coming. Nobody…" The figure raised from his hiding spot: a sword could be seen and a long coat with red clouds hanged loosely on his shoulders.
The figure made some hand signs and a phrase could be heard lingering in the air. "Happiness is for the weak." With that it disappeared.
Crappy, snappy ?! Good lord this was awfull. Hopefuly the next one will be better...
Or maybe not.
See ya (:
