Is This For Real?
Opening:
C'mon!
Running like a fugitive,
Being chased by something…
Inside my heart is pounding…
My throat is dry like it's withering.
For no single one,
To none does belong,
The time is ours, Right now…
Unraveling the pain,
Unraveling our hearts,
Unraveling shadows.
Stifling our breath,
Reaching for beyond,
Tearing through the dark.
In fighting and in love…
To the distant light above,
Yes, we are on the way!
I wanna rock…
Rockin' my heart…
Melody's POV:
"ZORO!" I screamed as loud as I could, trying to catch up with the pirate-
(Let's try that again…)
"SASUKE!" I screamed as loud as I could as I slammed my fist against the table.
Sasuke looked up at me with an eyebrow raised. "What?" He asked, sounding slightly annoyed.
"Give me that bowl of rice… Please…" I asked. Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Hey, I said 'please'.
"Fine…" He said as he handed me a bowl.
"Thank you!" I looked into the bowl. "This isn't rice… It looks like rice that has been stomped into the dirt…" I complained.
"Well, it hasn't…" Sasuke replied. "Where did you even get that idea anyway…?"
I lowered my head. "No where… At all…" I replied as I gobbled on my rice. It really did taste like dirt though… I noticed a grin on Sasuke's face.
"It's been in the dog's business…" He corrected me. My eyes widened and I immediately did a spit-take. I then grabbed a hold of my glass of water and poured it in my mouth, and then I spat that water back into the cup.
"You jerk face!" I screamed at the Uchiha. "Why the hell did you do that for?"
"That's for calling me 'Duck Butt'…" Sasuke replied.
"This is how you are getting me back? I expected a lot more maturity from you! This is what I would expect from Naruto!" I screamed. I swear I saw a vein pop out of his head, but that quickly faded away and he burst into a fit of laughter. It's rare to see Sasuke laugh, so I guess it's cool… No it's not! I'm getting him back for this!
"Well, morning everyone!" Kakashi announced as he walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning Kakashi!" I said happily. Sasuke gave him a grunt of acknowledgement, but then immediately went back to laughing. Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
"What's so funny…?" Kakashi asked.
"Nothing!" I quickly answered.
"She ate-"
"Shut it Sasuke!" I screamed. A moment of silence went by. Awkward…
"Rice that was covered with-"
"NO!" I screamed as I pounced on the raven-haired Uchiha.
"Whoa!" He gasped from shock as I tackled him out of his chair.
"Don't tell him!" I yelled at Sasuke, who had a mischievous grin on his face. "I'm warning you… Don't you do it…" Sasuke frowned.
"Fine…" He muttered.
"You have to promise me…" I whispered.
"I… Promise…" He stated. It must've taken a lot of his pride to say that. I smiled. I was satisfied. I got off of Sasuke and brushed myself off. Sasuke stood up and sat back in his chair.
"I'm still getting you back for this though…" I warned him. He shrugged.
"I know you will…" He replied. I raised an eyebrow.
"What made you think that I would? After all, I could've been a sweet and innocent girl…" I asked.
Sasuke shrugged. "Yeah… Some sweet and innocent girl you are… You threw a pie in the idiot's face…" He said as he took a sip of 'his' water. I smirked.
"For your information, we were both in that together… Also, that's the cup I spat in…" I informed the Uchiha. Sasuke's eyes widened and he ran out of the kitchen and into the bathroom. This time, I was the one who was laughing my guts out. Kakashi sat down.
"Is there something that I should know about…?" He asked me. I shook my head.
"Nope! I just got Sasuke back for being a bad boy…" I replied. Kakashi raised an eyebrow and shrugged it off.
"If you say so…" He said and took a drink.
"By the way… I spat in all of the other cups while nobody was looking…" I said. Wait, shouldn't I have seen his face? Damn… My plans are foiled again… Kakashi swallowed and stood up.
"Excuse me…" He said and left for the bathroom. I frowned. What? Do they think that I have the cooties or something?
Just then, Sasuke came out with a scowl on his face. I clicked my tongue.
"You know, this is just a hunch, but uh… You look a little mad…" I stated the obvious. Sasuke growled.
"That's because I am mad!" Sasuke yelled at me.
"Sasuke, you aren't the one who actually swallowed it, so why are you complaining?" I asked. Sasuke looked like he wanted to punch the crap out of me. I held my laughter.
"Oh look, a bird!" I said as I pointed at the sky. "I haven't seen one of those since yesterday!" Sasuke growled again. v
"In case you haven't noticed Melody, my name isn't Naruto…" Sasuke informed me.
"Worth a shot…" I mumbled to myself.
Episode Twelve:
Battle on the Bridge! Zabuza Returns!
After a good ten minutes later, everything had settled down and everyone was out of bed. Well, everyone but Sakura. Speaking of which, three, two, one…
"Good morning everyone…" Sakura yawned as she walked in and sat down.
"Morning!" I replied. Sakura smiled.
"Here…" Tsunami said as she handed a plate of food over to Sakura.
"Oh thank you…" Sakura replied. "By the way, I heard a lot of noise out here earlier, what was that?" Poop!
"Nothing-!"
"Prank war-!"
Sasuke and I looked at each-other.
"Prank war-!"
"Nothing-!"
Sakura looked at the two of us confused. Hey, I can't blame her… I don't even know what the heck is going on…
"Anyway…" I said, changing the subject. "Naruto isn't here… Has anyone seen him…?" I asked, trying to sound like I didn't know what was going on. Sasuke raised a suspicious eyebrow at me.
"He's gone insane…" Sakura added. "He has been out at night, climbing trees… He could be dead now for all we know… You know, from using up too much Chakra…"
"Well, I certainly hope he's okay… Imagine, a child spending the night in the woods alone." Tsunami joined in.
"Naruto may be a goofy kid, but even so, he is a full-fledged ninja. He can handle himself, it will be alright…" Kakashi replied.
"Sakura's right…" Sasuke agreed. "Naruto is such a loser… He could just be lying out there dead by now…" Man, since when did the S.S. Negativity stroll into town? Sasuke and I stood up and walked towards the door.
"Where are you two going?" Sakura asked us. Great… She probably thinks that we're going to hide in the woods and make-out… Something that I just said doesn't sound right… EW! Gross! Bleh!
"I'm going for a walk…" Sasuke replied.
"I'm walking beside him!" I added. I am so mean…
"Wait! We just started eating-" Sakura said confused and looked at our plates while we headed out of the door.
"Sasuke, you know that you didn't need to give me that seventy hour lecture, right…?" I whined.
"Would you prefer me to punch you…?" Sasuke asked me.
"NO!" I screamed.
"Then, you shouldn't be complaining…" Sasuke said.
"It's not nice to hit a girl, you know…" I said to him.
"Who says that I'm nice…?" Sasuke asked me. I pouted. Damn. How is he beating me…?
"Your fan-club…" I answered.
"And… You're saying that you believe them…?" Sasuke asked me.
"No! Of course not!" I yelled.
"Stop yelling…" Sasuke ordered. "It's really annoying…"
"Oh, I'm sorry… BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" I screamed.
"Do you have a death wish?" Sasuke asked me.
"I HAVE NEVER YELLED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! WHY ARE YOU MEAN TO ME SASUKE?" I yelled.
Sasuke had enough and punched my shoulder. I rubbed the sore spot.
"WHY DID YOU HIT ME?" I screamed (Accidently). Sasuke growled. "I mean… Ouch… You are mean Sasuke… Just because you are the Prince of all Uchiha's doesn't mean that you get to punch me…"
"Just hit me back then…" Sasuke shrugged. "Do you always act like a princess…?"
I suddenly tried to have relaxing thoughts… Birds chirping… Sunny skies… Classical music… Wait… I hate classical music! That's it, the guy's going down! And I'm not just talking downtown, I'm talking six-feet underground!
"I am not a princess! If anything, you act like you're the ruler of the freaking moon!" I yelled.
"You know, when you're trying to come up with a come-back, make sure that it actually makes sense…" Sasuke advised. I didn't think and I slapped Sasuke across his face.
"Oh Kami…" I said to myself in a voice below a whisper. "Sasuke, I didn't mean to… I didn't mean to hit you…"
Sasuke shrugged. "Whatever…" He said. I blinked.
"What?" I asked.
"Whatever… It doesn't matter… Let's look for the idiot..." Sasuke replied as he continued walking. I quickly ran over next to him.
I think a good ten seconds went by and then I became bored.
"God! This is the biggest freaking forest ever! Are we there yet?" I asked.
"Do you see an idiot…?" Sasuke asked me.
"No…" I answered.
"Then no… We are not there!" Sasuke replied.
Five seconds went by…
"Are we there yet…?" I asked.
"No."
"Are we there yet…?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!"
I was taken aback by this and sighed.
"Are we there yet?"
"GOD DAMN IT! NO! WE ARE NOT! DO NOT ASK ME THAT QUESTION AGAIN!" Sasuke yelled at the top of his lungs.
I thought about what he said for a moment.
"Have we found Naruto yet?" I asked with a grin.
"NO! CAN YOU NOT SAY ANYTHING FOR FIVE MORE MINUTES?" Sasuke screamed.
"Fine…" I mumbled. I looked down at the ground as I walked.
"OOOOWWWW OWWWW OOOOOOWWWWW!" I said as a dog howl.
"DAMN IT!" Sasuke screamed as he smashed a tree.
"Sasuke, what did that tree ever do to you…?" I asked with my hands on my hips. Sasuke looked like he was out for blood. But I couldn't help myself… He's just so easy…
"I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!" Sasuke screamed. My eyes widened.
"Running again!" I whispered to myself as I ran away. We ran for so long and so far away… I swear, there was this one guy who looked so much like Shikamaru… Eh. My imagination is weird…
Eventually, Sasuke caught me and punched me in the face. It hurt… But, I kind of deserved it… Who am I kidding? That punk is going down! Later…
While we were walking, we passed by Haku. I waved to him… For no reason at all… He smiled at me and continued walking away. We then found… I'll give you one guess. Wait a second… Question time!
Who or what do you think we found?
A: Roronoa Zoro
B: Naruto
C: A random guy who is a lemon who screams a lot
…
If you chose Naruto (B) as your answer, then you are correct! Since you chose Naruto, you get this fabulous prize! You get a Naruto T-shirt, A Naruto figurine set, including – Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, and all of your other favourite characters of your choice! You also get the entire DVD set of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden! And, so you can watch them, we're adding a DVD and Blu-ray player, and just when you think you have seen it all, you get a flat-screen TV!
If you chose A or C, then you get a never ending supply of cookies! Hooray!
Sorry, not really… But I just said that because I want everything that I just listed… Including the cookies… Double chocolate chip… Mmmm…. Anyway, back to what was happening…
We watched Naruto as he was sitting down with his arms folded, talking to himself…
"Whoa, I've seen a lot of weird things in my life before, but this one takes the cake!" Naruto said to himself. And it probably ate it too!
Sasuke walked over to the blonde and whacked him over the head.
"OW! Hey what did you do that for?" Naruto yelled at the Uchiha. "Cut it out!"
"You dork…" Sasuke said. "Did you just forget about breakfast? You're such a loser…" Naruto blinked and then laughed, making Sasuke frown at him. I walked over to Naruto.
"So Naruto, who's your new boyfriend?" I asked the blonde. He blinked.
"Were you watching me the whole time?" Naruto screamed.
"No… Your boyfriend put it on a billboard, just to make sure that everyone knew that it was official…" I said with a smile, causing Naruto's whole life turn upside down. "Don't worry about it… Just make sure that you don't forget your anniversary!"
"MELODY!" Naruto yelled. I ruffled his hair.
"I'm kidding… One of these days, I'm going to have to teach you the art of sarcasm…" I said.
"Are you saying that I'm stupid?" Naruto shouted.
"I don't know… Am I…?" I asked sarcastically. Naruto growled. "Anyway, get your lazy butts into gear and start climbing those trees!"
Sasuke folded his arms. "Oh yeah…? And while we're doing that, what are you going to do?"
"I'm totally not going to sit down, reading magazines and drink out of one of those cups with the little umbrella in it…" I said, hoping that they would believe me.
"Oh! Okay! Sounds cool!" Naruto said. I smirked.
"Don't be lazy… You have to climb trees too…" Sasuke said as he dragged me by my sleeve.
"Meep…" I said randomly. Damn… Sasuke, why do you do this to me? I noticed that Naruto had a cocky grin on his face. My eyes widened. "No Naruto! Don't!" I screamed. But it was too late… Naruto began dancing (Terribly). He did the Running Man, Robot, Sprinkler, Tap Dancing, and at one moment, he thought that he was a ballerina. Sasuke and I stared at Naruto, unable to take our eyes away from the terror. Sasuke even dropped me from the shock of seeing the weird dance.
It is going to be a long day…
~Is This for Real?~
Naruto quickly climbed up a tree, waiting for Sakura and Kakashi to come and watch him. Sasuke and I just sat behind the bushes. I held a magazine in my hand. I didn't need to be there.
Finally, Sakura and Kakashi showed up. Yay!
"Naruto!" Sakura called out. "Knowing Naruto, he can be anywhere… And Sasuke and Melody haven't come back either, I wonder where they all are…" Just then, a kunai came rushing towards the two and landed in the ground in front of them. At this point, I suddenly stopped caring and I looked back at my magazine… God, that guy looks awesome when he poses like that!
"Whoa…" Sakura said in shock. "Naruto can climb that high now by using his Chakra? That's great…"
"What do you think guys? Is it high enough for you? I mean, it's a long way down from up here!" I knew what would happen. Naruto would've stood up, slipped, everyone's panicking, he's upside down and says that he was joking… I know of these things. Man, this guy is just really AMAZING! He should probably get a haircut… NAH!
"Just kidding…! You guys really fell for it!" Naruto yelled and began to laugh.
"We were worried about you, Naruto!" Sakura yelled.
"Why do I think that this is going to end badly…?" Kakashi asked himself.
At this point, I figured that Naruto's feet must've dropped from the tree, because of Kakashi's and Sakura's screams.
"You just had to push it, didn't you, show off!" Sakura screamed at the blonde.
"Looks like Naruto's falling…" Sasuke stated the obvious.
"Oh no… That is terrible…" I said like a robot.
"Don't you think you should save him…?" Sasuke asked me.
"I'm busy, besides, you have two working arms and legs and a beating heart and you care… You do it…" I said, not taking my eyes off of the magazine. Sasuke sighed.
"Fine…" He replied and rushed towards where Naruto was falling. Sasuke must've caught Naruto, because now they were talking.
"Naruto! Are you okay?" Sakura asked. What? That question was never asked. What's going on around here…? I would look, but my eyes are glued onto the pages.
"What a loser… Stop fooling around and maybe your head wouldn't be in the ground…" Sasuke advised.
"Right…" Naruto agreed. "Why didn't you catch me…?"
"Maybe because someone wouldn't do it herself and she told me to do it at the last second…" Sasuke replied.
I closed my magazine and turned around slowly to look at the others, who were all staring at me.
"Magazine…?" I said as a question as I pointed at it.
"You didn't catch Naruto because of a magazine?" Sakura asked me with her hands on her hips. "What could be so great about it-" I cut the pinkette off by showing her the photo that I was looking at. "OH MY GOD! He's so-"
"Yep." I agreed, knowing what she was going to say.
"I see… That is a totally good excuse why you didn't help Naruto!" Sakura said dreamily.
"I know, right?" I agreed. Naruto popped his head out of the ground and stomped over to us.
"Oh, come on! It can't be that great – OH MY GOD!"
"It's amazing…!" The three of us said dreamily.
Sakura and I raised an eyebrow at the blonde and stomped on a foot each, causing him to fall down with a thud.
Kakashi sighed. "Well, I guess I should look at everyone's progress…" He said and turned to Sasuke. "Sasuke, you're up…"
Sasuke nodded and prepared himself for tree climbing.
"When Naruto's feeling better, tell him that I will check on his real progress…" Kakashi told Sakura and I.
"Yeah…" Sakura and I replied, only half-listening.
Kakashi sighed again.
"It's going to be a miracle for me to survive through the rest of this time…" He mumbled to himself. I think this magazine is cursed or something, because I have never been this hypnotized in my entire life.
"Was that an insult Kakashi?" I asked the Jonin.
"Of course not…" Kakashi replied.
"I can smell the sarcasm…" I replied. Wait, since when did I become an Inuzuka…? Eh? I must be going crazy or something…
~Is This For Real?~
It was night time, and Sasuke and Naruto have already climbed to the top of their trees. I smiled mischievously.
"Oh Sasuke… You came-" I began to sing.
"STOP TALKING!" Sasuke yelled. Man, he is cranky today.
"Okay, don't get your knickers in a knot!" I yelled back as I waved my hands.
"And stop telling me to not get my knickers in a knot!" Sasuke screamed.
I snorted. "You said 'knickers'." I giggled.
"YOU SAID IT FIRST!" Sasuke screamed. I shrugged. Oh yeah, Naruto was enjoying this argument.
"But you repeated it! I thought that you were supposed to be smart!" I replied.
"Damn it! Naruto, let's go!" Sasuke yelled.
"But-!"
"No buts'!" Sasuke screamed. I snorted again.
"You said butt…" I laughed.
"DAMN IT ALL!" Sasuke screamed. Should I stop…? Nah! "LET'S JUST GO!" Sasuke screamed again as he jumped down.
"Sasuke! You shouldn't jump down from that-"
"DAMN IT!"
"High…" I shrugged it off. The joys of being a boy… If you know what I mean. "Naruto! Climb down from there!" I shouted.
"Okay!" Naruto said cheerfully as he climbed down… Not jumped… Climbed…
I walked over to Sasuke. "You're cranky today…" I said to the Uchiha. He looked up at me and gave me his 'no duh' look. "Where is the Sasuke I knew and loved? Which is the Sasuke who gave me sympathy yesterday…" I said.
"Wait a minute…!" Naruto yelled. Damn it… I forgot that he has the ability to show up at the worst moment…
"You loved Sasuke? I knew it!" Naruto laughed. I rewarded his smart remark with a kick in the knee. "OW!" He screamed in pain.
"Bad Naruto…" I said to Naruto like he was a dog and pointed a finger at him. "Bad!"
"As a friend…" I corrected myself. Sasuke shrugged. Oh thank god… As I said before, I do not love Sasuke like that… It is a friendly sort of love… Nothing to get excited about… I need no people saying stuff like that! NONE!
"Let's go…" Sasuke said as he stood up and walked over to Naruto. "I'll take the loser back since he is injured and it was your fault…" He said as he put Naruto's arm over his shoulder.
"He should watch what he says…" I pouted as I folded my arms.
"You should start to follow your own advice…" Sasuke muttered.
"What was that…?" I asked, making sure that I heard right.
"Whatever…" Sasuke said as he began walking. I gave up and followed close behind.
~Is This For Real?~
We have been walking for a while now (By 'we', I mean me and Sasuke) and we have finally made it back to Tazuna's place… Thank Kami… I opened the door for Sasuke, because he was too busy with Naruto. We walked into the house with all eyes on the three of us.
"What have you been up to?" Tazuna asked us. "You look like something the cat dragged in…"
Naruto looked up at them. "We both made it all the way to the top…!" He announced.
"And I watched them…" I added. I didn't want people to get confused… He said 'both,' not 'all'.
"Good." Kakashi replied with a nod. "Now we can move on… Starting tomorrow, you will both join the two girls as bodyguards for Tazuna." He announced. Naruto smiled and then he laughed.
"Alright!" He screamed as he shot an arm up into the air, but it was too surprising for Sasuke and he couldn't hold them both any longer and they both fell back down on their butts. Ha ha! I said 'butts'.
"You are such a loser!" Sasuke yelled at the blonde and the rest of us began to laugh at the fail.
~Is This For Real?~
Later, after we all finished eating, Tazuna spoke up to us.
"In just a few more days, the bridge will be completed… And I have all of you to thank for that." He said to us.
"You've all done great, but you still have to be careful…" Tsunami added.
"I've been meaning to ask you this, but I haven't had the chance until now… Why did you stay and protect me even though you found out that I lied to bring you here?" Tazuna asked.
"Those who stray from the path of justice have no courage, but under the wing of a strong leader, cowards cannot survive…" Kakashi replied.
"Huh?" Tazuna and Tsunami looked at Kakashi confused.
"That was a quote from the First Hokage…" Kakashi explained. I saw Inari sneak a glance over at Naruto. That poor kid… Just then, tears began to fill his eyes. He was probably thinking about his father again. The tears strolled down his face and fell down onto the table.
"But why…?" Inari asked in a whisper.
"Huh?" Naruto asked. "What did you say?" Inari slammed his hands down onto the table.
"All of this stupid training is just a waste of time!" He yelled. Since when is climbing trees stupid? "Gato has a whole army! He'll beat you up and then he'll destroy you! These 'cool things' you all say, they don't mean anything! No matter what you do, the strong always win and the weak always lose…"
"Just speak for yourself…" Naruto said as he slouched down. "It won't be like that for me, you got that?"
"Why don't you just be quiet! Just looking at you makes me sick! You don't know anything about this country, you're just budding in! Always laughing and playing around, you don't know what it's like to suffer and be treated like dirt!" Inari yelled back. Ah! The irony!
"Listen to yourself, whining and complaining like some sorry little victim!" Naruto yelled. "You can whimper all day for all I care… You're nothing but a coward!" Naruto yelled, making Inari cringe.
"Naruto, you went too far!" Sakura yelled at the blonde. Naruto growled and stood up and walked off. "Naruto…"
Inari continued to sob at what Naruto said. Kakashi looked over at him. Oh well, that's all that I can do… Kakashi can handle things from here. Besides, I'm tired. Nap time…
~Is This For Real?~
We all got up really early the next morning. Well, all of us except for Naruto… He slept in… Hey, we're not going to go through all of the trouble of waking up Sleeping Beauty… Today is the day we face Zabuza and Haku. I would've liked a few more days so then I could get back at Sasuke for all of those mean things, but he's probably thinking the same thing… I'm not sure about Kakashi though… I kind of smelt the vomit from before in my sleep… In my FREAKING SLEEP! I need my sleep… ANYWAY…!
"Well okay… I leave Naruto in your hands…" Kakashi stated before we were going to leave along with Sasuke, Sakura and the bridge builder. "He's pushed his body to the limit – overdoing it as usual… So, he might not be able to move today at all."
"What about you?" Tsunami asked Kakashi. "You're still recovering yourself."
"Why, do I look wobbly?" Kakashi joked. "I'll be okay."
"Come on," Tazuna began. "Let's go." And with that, we walked away from the house and began to walk towards the bridge. What gives that guy the right to give orders? We're not his slaves! I want to be the boss… Oh well… There's nothing that I can do about it…
~Is This For Real?~
We arrived at the bridge with a bunch of the bridge builders lying on the unfinished bridge, either moaning or they're unconscious…
"Hold on…" Tazuna began, shocked. "What the heck is this? What happened? Someone was here – someone got to them!"
"Could it be…?" Kakashi asked himself. I looked up at him and groaned.
"What a pain…" I said as I slouched. "Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse…" Actually, that was a lie, I knew the whole freaking time… Hey, I just stated the obvious! "Be prepared guys," I began as I drew out a kunai. "Zabuza and Ha-I mean the guy that was in the mask from earlier are coming…!"
Sasuke gave me a strange look, along with Sakura. I raised my eyebrows.
"Uh… I can see the mist coming in from here… It's coming…" I lied, but in a way, I told the truth… Don't judge me! It would be confusing if you were there! Whoa…
Suddenly, the mist became visible to the others and they all got into their positions.
"The mist…" Kakashi mumbled to himself. "Alright you three, get ready for this…!" He ordered as Sasuke and Sakura drew out their kunai knives. "I knew he was still alive… He just couldn't wait for round two…!"
"Kakashi Sensei, Melody, this is Zabuza's hidden Mist Jutsu, right…?" Sakura asked. I nodded.
"That's right…" I answered. "This is definitely Zabuza's technique – no doubt about it!"
"Sorry we kept you waiting, Kakashi…" Came a familiar voice. "I see you've still got those brats with you… That one's still trembling… Pitiful…" He said, referring to Sasuke.
The others' eyes widened as they all noticed the water clones of Zabuza surrounding all of us. I turned my head to face Sasuke, who was now grinning.
"I'm trembling with… Excitement…!" He corrected Zabuza. I smiled. It's even cooler when you hear it up close…! Wait… I have no time to be impressed, after all, Zabuza and Haku are right in front of us! Zabuza's eyes narrowed.
Kakashi smiled and turned to Sasuke. "Go on, Sasuke." He said.
One of the Zabuza clones swung his blade at the Uchiha, but Sasuke quickly dodged and jumped up in the air, slashing the water clones in half. Sasuke then landed perfectly on the ground without a scratch on him and all of the water clones splashed back into their water form. Sasuke should be a ballerina when he grows up!
"Ooh… So you could see that they were water clones, huh?" Zabuza asked as he and Haku showed themselves. Well, to be fair, it was pretty obvious. "The brat's improving… Looks like you've got a rival, Haku…"
"So it would seem." Haku replied as we had a staring contest with the two. Damn it, I blinked! Oh well. I clenched onto my kunai tighter as I sent a strong glare over to Zabuza. This just got real…
Closing:
Cultivate your hunger,
Before you idealize,
Motivate your anger,
To make them all realize,
Climbing the mountain,
Never coming down,
Break into the contents,
Never falling down.
My knee is still shakin'
Like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom,
By the back door,
A man railed at me twice though,
But I didn't care,
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to live so wise,
Don't cry 'cause you're so right,
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end…
Don't try to live so wise,
Don't cry 'cause you're so right,
Don't dry with fakes and fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end…
Don't try to live so wise,
Don't cry 'cause you're so right,
Don't dry with fakes and fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end…
(Naruto and Melody Voice-over)
(Naruto) Okay, I sleep in a little late, and it turns out that everyone is gone facing Zabuza.
(Melody) You snooze, you lose, Naruto. Looks like we've got all of the action to ourselves…
(Naruto) Well, you should see Inari right now!
(Melody) Let me guess… It's Gato's thugs, isn't it?
(Naruto) How did you know…?
(Melody) It's obvious. Besides, Haku is a lot tougher than you would think, Naruto.
(Naruto) I'll be over there as soon as possible!
(Melody) Did you even hear what I just said?!
(Naruto/Melody) Next time… Haku's Secret Jutsu! Crystal Ice Mirrors!
(Naruto) I'll kick butt like never before!
EXTRA! (Sasuke's POV:)
I ran into the bathroom at top speed and once I found the sink I quickly spat the revolting drink into it, coughing from the awful taste. I looked into my reflection and smiled.
"No doubt about it now…" I said to myself. "Everything is adding up… It's her alright. The personality, the appearance, the pranks… It's her… I thought that she would be back, it was only a matter of time… It's hard to believe that she survived… After all of these years…"
Tears began to form in my eyes and soon, they began to stroll down my cheeks and dropped on the ground, still with a smile on my face.
"If he finds out… Then… She would be in danger… I have to make sure that no one finds out about this…!" I wiped the tears away and took some deep breaths. I calmed myself down and walked out of the bathroom.
On the way out I noticed Kakashi rushing towards the bathroom. I smiled after he passed by me.
Classic Melody…
