I don't own Naruto. BUT,...I do own the movie My Neighbor Totoro. On DVD that is. Yeah,..I had coffee.

When Mika woke up, the Sun was not even showing. She sighed, got up, took a shower, and got ready. No one seemed to be up she had to tiptoe to the kitchen. She made herself some tea and sat at the table looking out the window. The Sun was now peaking over the horizon and the sky was beginning to turn a pink and purple-like color.

After a while, she just couldn't stay still. She got up and went outside and jumped up onto the roof. There she could see over miles and miles of land. Mika laid back and closed her eyes. All she could hear was tree leaves rustling together until she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly sat up and turned around. On one of the other sections of the roof was Sasuke sitting there, watching the sunrise. Because she had been laying down, or maybe because he was just on the different section of the roof, he did not seem to notice her. Seeing a good opportunity to sneak up on him, she got up and walked silently up behind him. He seemed to notice that indeed someone was there but he seemed to think there was no threat or they were further away.

Mika squatted down behind him, took her kunai out, and pressed it against his back, breathing lightly on his neck. He jumped and she whispered in his ear, "It looks like you still let your guard down." Her breath was cool and goose bumps appeared on his neck. She giggled and sat down next to him, a smile on her face.

He glared at her for a minute before going, "I knew you were there."

"Suuree you did. That's why you got goose bumps." Mika smiled at him and looked back out at the sunset.

"Why didn't you come back?" he asked reputedly, looking at her expectantly.

She continued to look out at the Sun. "They gave me a choice. Die or join. I chose to join."

"You didn't try to escape? I mean, you're skilled. You were skilled back then. Don't you think that you could have escaped?"

"They would have come after me. They, after all, had more training and skill than me by far. And plus, I fit in here. I don't know what it is but they made me feel, at home." She looked down and a small tear ran down her cheek. "But, I do miss my friends from before everyday. Especially Izumi. I hate that I can't contact her, but…I couldn't…" she shook her head as if an idea had formed and she was trying to get rid of it.

"You fit in here? They made you feel at home? Baka. Don't you know that you don't have the heart for what they do?"

"Don't you know what they're goal is? They want peace. Controlled peace but it's still peace. And this is the way they have to get it. I'll be behind them all the way. Plus I was young and they took care of me. You don't know what it was like. You never will. So please, save your breath and stop talking like their such bad people. After all," looks at him, "you're one of the worst ones here."

"That's not true. At all."

"Itachi spared your life, let you kill him, and saved Konoha from an attack by your clan. And what are you doing? Attacking the village that he saved. Do you think he would have wanted that? Because I sure don't think so."

"You don't know anything about Itachi."

"I don't know anything?" She looked in his eyes/ "I will know more than you ever will. He opened up to me while I was here. And, he shared things with me that you would never even begin to imagine. And you know what?" she stood up while he stayed still, staring at her, "I loved him." She turned around and started to walk away but Sasuke hopped up and stepped in front of her.

"How could you love him?" Mika looked down, ashamed. "Why would you love someone that killed their own clan?"

She looked up at him, her eyes big and teary. "He was your brother."

"That's why What? Did you do this to make me pissed if I were to find out? Or just the fact that her was my brother turn you o-"

"He reminded me of you." Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks and stared at her, waiting for more. "And he knew that. He knew that the only reason I loved him was because he reminded me of you and he was the closest I was ever going to get to you. He was okay with that though. He understood more than I probably knew. But, he tried the best that he could to make me love him for him because he loved me too. And I didn't really realize that until the day before he died. I lost my chance to have someone love me because of you. Not just because you killed him but because all I wanted was you." She shook her head. "Why am I wasting my times telling you this?"

"I don't know," Sasuke replied. "But I know that I've wanted you ever since that day on the training ground three years ago." Mika looked up at him, shocked.

"Really?"

"Mhm. As embarrassing as this is, I couldn't help myself but thinking that I'd love for you to be the one to rebuild my clan. At least, if you wanted. Trust me after how much of a jerk I was just now I don't really expe-" Again Mika cut him off but this time it was with her lips not her words. She pressed hard against him. He was frozen for a second but then started to participate in the kiss. All too soon, she pulled away, a huge grin on her face.

"I better go. Think I'm being sent out on a mission tomorrow and I'd like to get my rest. See ya, Butt Bow." A huge smile spread across her face and she ran off.

"Hey! That's not funny! It was Orochimaru's fault! You know he's a creeper!"

"Sure! You know you wish you still wore it!" She yelled back from practically the other side of the rood. Sasuke shook his head and looked back at the sky. The Sun was fully showing from over the horizon and all the sky was a light pink. For once in a long while, Sasuke was happy.
