Good news!!! I finished the pics of Akira and Tsukiko and I LOVE THEM!!!!! They're the best things I have ever drawn in my life but I can't draw them again… well, not as nice at least. The bad news is that my parents don't feel like plugging in the scanner right now so I won't have them up until I can scan them. Oh well, you've all waited this long, you can wait a little longer!! Haha, beating my Naruto game!!!
----------------
With Akira and Sasuke… They arrived at the same horse farm as the other day, they did basically the same thing as last time, except this time, there was a little more conversation than last time.
"This is really getting boring…" said Akira.
"You sound just like Naruto," Sasuke smirked.
"Well, I can't help it that my brother and I are alike! And it's not a bad thing…"
"I never said it was a bad thing."
"I know, but the way you said it, it made it sound like a bad thing."
"…?" he gave her a confused look.
"Nevermind…"
Just then, the Farmer walked up to them.
"Hello. May I ask you what you are doing here and what you were doing yesterday?" asked the Farmer.
"We're doing a science project for school, but if it bugs you for us to be here, we could leave," Akira explained.
"No, no, don't leave! You're welcome on my farm!! I would offer you to ride the horses if you're interested."
Akira jumped up immediately, "Of coarse we're interested!!!!" she exclaimed.
Sasuke looked at her like she was crazy, "You didn't ask if I wanted to."
"But I'm sure you do! Come on, we're talking about horses and having a chance ride them. Just get off your lazy butt and let's go!!"
And he did. Akira's excitement turned to confusion when she was trying to figure out how to saddle the horse.
"Here, let me do it," Sasuke offered as he took the saddle from her hands. He placed it gently on the horse and buckled it up. "Do you know how to get on?"
"…Maybe…"
Sasuke sighed, "You get on from the left side."
"Why not the right?"
"You'll scare the horse."
"Oh."
Akira made an attempt to get on the horse, but she nearly fell over.
"Need a boost?" Sasuke offered.
"No." She tried to get on again but failed. "Ok, I might need a boost…"
He went behind her and lifted her up onto the saddle. Akira was shocked of how easily he could lift her up.
"Thanks." Akira said sounding a little nervous.
"What's the matter? Not so exited to be on a horse anymore? Sasuke taunted.
"Are you kidding? This is awesome! It's just a little awkward…"
"You mean scary?"
"No, awkward," she growled.
"Fine, it's awkward." He mounted his horse, which was a black stallion and went out of the barn. Akira followed awkwardly on her white mare that had brown spots. They did a couple of rounds in the field so Akira could get used to the horse, then they went into the forest.
"Are you sure we should leave the farm?" Akira asked in an unsure voice.
"We'll be fine. You're a natural at ridding horses, so you should be fine too."
"Still…"
"You scared of the woods?"
"Hell no! Fine, let's go, but we better be back at my house by 6:30 or Tsukiko will kill me!"
"We won't be that long."
They were trotting along in the forest until it began to rain. "Let's go back," said Akira.
"Now you're afraid of water?"
"No, I'm getting my uniform all wet for tomorrow though."
"Fine, let's go back."
They were making their way back to the farm when a pack of six wolves surrounded them.
"Umm, I'm no expert, but they look hungry…" said Akira shakily.
"It's ok, don't freak out or your horse will too," said Sasuke in a reassuring voice. "All you have to do is jump over them and run back to the farm.
"How the heck am I supposed to jump??!!"
"It's simple, just lift your horses reigns sharply while running."
"Sounds simple enough…"
The wolves started closing in on them.
"Ok, go!" Sasuke demanded. Akira did just as he said but her horse started freaking out. "Calm down Akira."
"What makes you think I'm not calm?!"
"Your horse is freaking out because you're freaking out. Now stop being a baby and jump!"
Akira tried again, this time with more confidence. She finally managed to get pass the wolves. She turned around to see Sasuke still surrounded by wolves.
"What are you waiting for??" Akira demanded.
"It's ok, just go, I'll catch up in a few minutes." Akira looked extremely unsure, "Just go!" Sasuke shouted at her.
Akira turned around and went back to the farm. She returned the horse and went back to the entrance of the forest. She was going insane with worry for half an hour until a black stallion came out of the forest. On it, Akira was relieved to see Sasuke, all wet and muddy. She ran up to the horse and started yelling at Sasuke.
"What the heck took you so long?? You said a few minutes, not 30 minutes!!!" Akira shouted furiously.
Sasuke was still ridding his horse to the barn and Akira was still following him. "what were you doing anyways??"
Sasuke didn't even look at her and said, "I led the wolves away from the farm and now I'm going to warn the farmer about them," he replied calmly.
Akira just stood there for a few seconds then ran to catch up with the horse. "Well, are you ok?" she asked in a calmer voice.
"Yeah. I'm fine. My ears hurt from your screaming but I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Positive?"
"One hundred percent."
"Then what's wrong with your arm?"
"Nothing."
"Then why aren't you holding onto the reigns with it?"
Sasuke got off his horse and sighed. "Because I got hurt." He placed the horse back in the barn and started walking towards the farmer's house.
"So let me see your arm."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because it's fine."
"No it's not, it's bleeding"
"Wait here." They had arrived at the farmer's house and he was going inside.
"No, I'm coming inside."
"Fine."
They told the farmer about the wolves and then they left. The farmer didn't see Sasuke's arm since Sasuke was hiding it from him. Right before they left, Akira asked for some bandages. Sasuke called his driver on his cell phone so they could be picked up.
"Please let me see your arm," Akira pleaded as they waited for the driver to arrive.
"No."
Akira lifted up his arm for her to see.
"Oww!!!" Sasuke cried, "I thought I said no when you asked to see my arm."
"Oh well." Akira began wrapping the bandage around his arm so it would stop bleeding. The limo finally arrived and the teammates got in. There was silence the whole time they were in the limo until they arrived at Akira's house.
"Are you sure that you're going to be ok?" Akira asked Sasuke as she exited the limo.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Ok… see you tomorrow"
"See ya."
With that, Akira closed the limo door and walked up to her house. Inside, Tsukiko was waiting for her.
"Akira, it's almost seven, where have you been?" Tsukiko demanded.
"I wasn't that late and I have a very good explanation."
"Oh really? And what's that?"
Akira explained the day's events over dinner with Tsukiko. Tsukiko was shocked when Akira mentioned the wolves.
"If this is a joke, then you're grounded."
"It's not a joke, I'm serious."
"Is your friend ok?"
"I think so, he wouldn't tell me if he was really ok."
"Well, you tell me tomorrow after you see him at school."
"Ok,"
Akira went to bed worrying that night. He'd better be at school tomorrow, she thought, I'm going to kill him for make me worry like that.

I was asked to do a little suspense and put action in my story, so I did. It isn't a huge suspense or something that was extremely dangerous, but it was the best thing I could do late at night at the last minute. Review people!!!!
