Disclaimer: I only own Yuki :D

~Ch.10~

Yuki woke up at about one o'clock in the morning and couldn't fall back asleep. She decided the only thing she could do was go out for a walk. As she walked, she thought about how she felt about Sasuke and Kiba. She liked Kiba but she didn't want to lose him. She liked Sasuke, too …kinda. She saw him as a jerk that took care of her and protected. Then there was the baby crush she had on Naruto. She signed loudly

Flashback

"Hey Naruto!"

"Hey Yuki!"

The two walked into the small ramen shop, smiling.

"So Yuki!"

"Yes?"

"When's your birthday?"

"I don't remember …"

Naruto pouted and Yuki blushed slightly.

"WELL! I have something for you so I'm making today your birthday! Okay?"

Yuki nodded slightly. The blonde acted as her brother during her stay here. Both parentless, they made a good pair. Naruto wanted to make her feel as close to normal as he could. And making this her birthday was one way.

He passed her a small box, poorly wrapped. Inside it was a necklace. It was a black chocker with two longer chains attached. One had the kanji symbol for brave and the longer chain had a medium sized heart with a moon and star pattern. She smiled and hugged him. "I love it! Thanks so much!"

He smiled. "Good!"

They ate lunch and then Naruto walked her back to her apartment. Inside was a large banner that said happy birthday. Sakura, Kiba, Lee, Neji, Hinata, and Ten Ten stood smiling at her.

She looked at the grinning blonde. The sun shone on his face, making him glow. She drew in a breath. Oh Shit was all she could think.

"Yuki?", she woke up to see Sasuke leaning over her.

"Yeah, Sasuke?"

"Why are you sleeping out here?"

"I don't know. I must have fallen asleep."

"Come on. Go get ready. Pain-sama needs to see you."

"OOOOOOOOOOOO! The Uchiha said sama!"

"Just hurry back," he growled.

"Okay." Yuki flashed a smile.

The two walked back together holding hands.

Pain was giving Yuki a speech on how she was not supposed to say anything about the Akatsuki when she returned to the Leaf. He threatened her and Sasuke glared at him each time. Yuki just laughed at the threats.

"I won't tell anyone. Relax. I have nothing to gain from telling the Leaf." She shrugged.

Pain allowed a smile to spread on his face. "Good." He stood up and walked out, patting her head when he walked passed. Something about getting your head patted by a criminal made her feel pretty bad-ass.

"You handled that well," Sasuke stated.

"Whatever!" Yuki stretched and walked out.

She headed back to her room to pick up a book from her bag. Then, she would see if Sasuke would hang out with her. As she entered her room, she noticed the door was open. When she looked in she saw it was demolished. "KARIN!"

XxX - 5 days later

"This is not fair!" Karin screamed and flopped on the bed.

"What isn't fair?"

"He's in love with you! He should be in love with ME!"

"Why?"

"Because!"

"Well then. Look at your valid reasoning."

"HE LIKES ME MORE!"

"Really?"

Karin nodded, triumphantly.

Yuki shook her head. "Whatever you say …"

"You don't think so?"

"Not at all."

Karin screamed and stomped out. Yuki rolled her eyes. For some reason, Karin had made a point of coming into her room everyday to tell her Sasuke was hers. Yuki just droned her out with little thoughts.

XxX

"SASUKE-KUN~~~" Karin cooed and hung over the Uchiha.

Sasuke growled. "Let go."

"Where are you going?

"To see Yuki."

"Don't you want to stay with me?" She batted her eyelashes.

"No."

"WHY!"

"Because you're annoying." He shoved her off and walked off.

He knocked on Yuki's door. She opened the door with a smile. "Hey Sasuke!"

Sasuke smiled and kissed her softly. "Where are you off to?"

"Going for a walk. Wanna come?"

"Pain needs me." He mentally cursed him out. "I just wanted to say hi."

He turned and left. Yuki left and walked into the woods. She heard people running. She hid behind a tree and peeked out. There was a large dog, a boy dressed in orange, a brunette, and a blonde with a high ponytail She cursed under her breath. Why were they here! She tried to sneak away quietly, but Ino heard her.

"H-hey guys!" She said as calmly as she could.

"Yuki?"

Yuki laughed nervously as they played twenty questions. Not a fun game when the Akatsuki hideout is about an hour walk away. "Well! I have to go!"

Naruto looked confused. "Where?"

"Places!"

Kiba grabbed her. "We're staying at a hotel. You should come with us."

"Ummm …okay?"

Yuki walked with Ino and the boys behind. She missed the serious glances the two exchanged.
