Okay... its true...
Kabuto : what? making a confession now?
Me: shush! now... I kind of... don't really want to update-
Kabuto : your other story? heh... thought so...
Me: oh you're so sure of yourself! shut the hell up and say the disclaimer!
Kabuto : O.o er... Rika doesn't own Naruto... if she did, she'd probably be in it... kissing her "future husband" or keep changing the story until she's been with each and every person she thinks is hot-
Me: (slaps Kabuto) so?! I can be indecisive if I want!

"Sir, I await your orders."
"...You may head towards the leaf village now, make sure that he does this right."
"...Yes sir."
"Sasuke, where are we going?" Narumi asked, behind the fast-paced Uchiha.
Sasuke stopped and turned to her, "I'm going to the Hyuuga household, I'm informing Neji that you'll be staying with him." he said, hands in his pockets.
Narumi frowned, "a..ah... okay..." she said.
They headed to Neji's house silently, when Sasuke stepped up to the large gate, Narumi was shocked that this was where she would be staying, "th-here?!" she whispered.
Sasuke nodded, not looking at her, waiting for the gates to open for him.
The gates slowly did, and Sasuke walked in casually while Narumi trailed behind him nervously.
Sasuke, instead of heading to the front door, went around the house to the back, to where he heard knives clashing and fast movements.
There were two sparring partners, one with very long, dark-chololate brown hair. his clothes were lighter brown colors while his pants where a dark brown, cutting off just at his knee's, there was gauze spiralling up his legs, long white bandages.
He moved swiftly and gracefully, dodging the other persons attacks and landing a hit every two moves or so.
The other one was a girl, she had short purple hair and a heavy looking coat, both of their eyes were blank, pale orbs that seemed to follow the other person everywhere.
"Neji..." Sasuke called to one of the people.
Neji's eyes briefly scanned the two figures before he knocked the purple haired girl off of her balance and she fell onto her knee's.
"What is it, Uchiha..." Neji said his name in spite.
"Here's a gift for you, you can have her." he said sarcastically, "she's coming to your house after mine," he said.
Neji closed his eyes and crossed his arms, "... no." he said finally. "I'll have a room ready for her in about three days." he said, challenging Sasuke's proposal.
"Fine with me." Sasuke said, not giving Neji the satisfaction of being irritated noticably.
"I thought so, now if you'll excuse me... Hinata?" he called to the purple-haired girl behind him.
"Y...yes..." she said, bowing to him even though he wasn't facing her.
"Lets go." Sasuke said to Narumi.
Narumi bowed quickly before starting at a small run and slowing her pace at Sasuke's side.
"Is that... the girl who has... amnesia?" Hinata asked Neji barely above a whisper.
Neji turned to Hinata and nodded once, "yes, it appears so."
Hinata looked towards the ground, "so she's staying here..."
There was silence, Sasuke could sense the upcoming question.
"Sasuke, wh-"
"We're going to get something to eat." he said.
silence...
"Okay..." she said quietly.
The sun was going down...
"...Or do you just want to go home?" he asked, looking at her for what seemed like the first time that day.
Narumi's face lit up, "No. lets go somewhere to eat." she said.
Sasuke nodded, they headed through the streets, lined with reddish highlights and orange blue skies above.
The streets seemed that much less visable, their features were gone- it seemed, or was it...
The road was the only thing that seemed to be there, besides the wooden fences that surrounded them.
'I can't believe that I let Narumi just get kidnapped like that... I'm surprised she escaped...' Sasuke thought.
He stopped in his tracks while Narumi kept going, eyeing him curiously as she passed him. she glanced back at him once she was ahead.
Sasuke started walking again, slower, staying behind her, examining every last detail of every landscape, hopefully to pinpoint any stalker Narumi might have.
...Nothing...
"Sasuke...?" Narumi was facing Sasuke, now, Sasuke stopped again without hesitation.
"What is it?"
"I'm... not very hungry anymore..." she said.
Sasuke nodded and they headed back to Sasuke's house, the streetlights came on and the sun was barely visable, so they hurried.
The darkness was upon them, and they came up to Sasuke's house.
As Sasuke brought a key from his pocket, he could have swore that he heard someone call his name quietly.
Assuming that it was Narumi, he turned to her with a blank expression.
But Narumi had stepped to the side and was looking back at someone who was beside her.
...Sakura.
Sasuke lifted his head slightly, looking down at her as if she didn't matter.
"Sasuke, you're... still staying with Narumi?" she tried smiling but the mood was set to gloomy, making it slightly difficult.
Sasuke remained silent, opening the door that nobody noticed him unlock. he grabbed Narumi's arm, guiding her inside.
Hearing the door click, Sakura took it as a yes and walked away, feeling like she was stepped on, not really knowing what to say.
Narumi stood by the doorway, watching Sasuke as he started to walk up the stairs.
"Sasuke..." she called, he stopped to look at her.
He barely got a proper view of her teary face before she was at his side, eyes covered with golded strands.
"Don't you care about anyone, Sasuke?" she asked. "why are you so... rude?"
"I..." Sasuke felt the need to respond, the need to say something to... make her think that he...
Wait...
Why did he care what she thought?
What did he want?
Sasuke's eyes narrowed as they slowly trailed down Narumi and up her again.
... Oh...
The Uchiha turned on heel and walked up the stairs, face slightly reddened.
A blush?... my...
Well, considering other girls would have taken it differently and Narumi is most definately different from most of the girls in Konoha, Narumi expected him to answer and was actually waiting for a reply...
...She decided that she would get him back for not answering her... later.
"Sasuke?" Narumi called to him from her spot by the window. "taking a bath?"
"Shower." he said.
"Me too?"
"No."
"okay."
"..."
"...Why?"
'She couldn't just leave it at that?' Sasuke thought to himself.
Sasuke sighed, "because, it'll be too cold for you."
Narumi made a weird face at him, "wha...? why are you taking a cold shower that doesn't make any sense..."
He shook his head, "...It doesn't matter..." he said, going into the bathroom hastily.
Okay, I know, crap way to end a chapter, but oh well.
Love it? hate it?
And I hope you understood the last part, if you didn't, I'de think that you're like Narumi...
review!
