Sasuke found her an hour later, sitting all alone at one of the swings and watching the younger kids play. He sighed as she deliberately turned her head away from him.
"You're impossible, you know that?" he informed her gravely, ignoring the burning glare that snapped to his face. "You never even tell me what's wrong before you go and throw tantrums like this."
If possible, Naruko's glare got even hotter before she looked away to stare bitterly at the ground instead. "You're the impossible one," she muttered.
Sasuke frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Naruko looked at him with the most disdain he'd ever seen from anyone in his entire life, so much that he actually recoiled from under her gaze. "If you're gonna be such a good shinobi, how come you can't notice what's right in front of you, huh?"
Sasuke was getting very confused. "What are you talking about? Are the other girls bullying you? Is that it?"
Defeat slowly crept its way across Naruko's face, and she slowly got up and began trudging home.
Sasuke almost called out to the girl, but he didn't have the slightest idea what was wrong.
