Chapter 8

Recap: Then at the last possible second Sasuke shouted out and closed his eyes waiting for the pain that would stop his heart. Except it never came. Sasuke opened his eyes stunned to see Akira there smiling in his face."V!" she said shoving the victory sign in his face. "Gotcha didn't I?"

The audience that had been watching all let out a breath, sighing in relief. "Akira! Are you out of your freaking mind?" Sasuke snarled struggling to break free from the stone. She looked in the other direction dismissively.

"You know I find my self asking that same question sometimes." He growled again and she released the rock chains that had holding him prisoner.

"There, happy now." She made the mistake of revealing her backside unprotected to him and he took that as an opening to tackle her to the ground.

"Wow after all that they're still going at it?" Shizune muttered uncomfortably and Naruto and Sakura went toward the two Uchiha's wrestling match with their head low.

"Ugh, Sasuke you pest get off me!" Akira shrieked as they rolled back and forth, finally Sasuke straddling Akira, pinning her hands above her head.

"Forget it you little bi-"

"Okay, okay that's enough Sasuke. GET OFF HER!" Naruto growled while Sakura tried to hold him back, Sasuke spat at him.

"Shut up Naruto; go be a dumbass somewhere else."

Akira glared harshly up at Sasuke threw her eyelashes at the comment but her gaze softened just a bit when she noticed the position she was suddenly in.

"Um, Sasuke can you please get off me? I don't like this arrangement." She tried to glare, face red.

Everyone stopped and took a second glance at Sasuke's cozy position with a leg on each side of Akira hips, whose face was somewhat crimson.

Kakashi smirked under his mask while Tsunade and Shizune looked slight torn between being irritated and amused.

Heh, heh, heh, Sasuke laughed at her reaction to himself silently.

"Awww Akira I don't know about that," He smirked at her and her blushed deepened. "I rather like this position your in. I could get quite used to it." He leaned in closer to her face and she tried to kick him away but not before sneaking a quick glance his lips.

"UCHIHA'S GET YOU ASSES OVER HERE OR YOU"LL BE GENIN FOR AS LONG AS I'M IN CHARGE!" Tsunade thundered from the other side of the field.

Everyone jumped and Kakashi motioned for Sakura and Naruto forward. Before Sasuke removed himself off of Akira he bent down toward her ear. "Next time don't hesitate to make your next move." Akira eyes widened when he smirked at her and in a flash was off her making his way back to the Hokage.

What do you think he meant by that..? Akira fumed for a moment before she shook her head and mentally slapped herself, walking back to everyone else.

L.A.T.E.R.

Sasuke POV

What the hell was I thinking earlier? I just couldn't resist messing with her like that. And I KNOW I saw her uncertainty on taking things further. I continued to my apartment waiting until tomorrow when Akira and I would be called back to the Hokage's office to see what she has to say about our fight.

Which by the way, I may hate losing. Period. No matter what is in. But now that I think about I might actually need Akira more than anytime before. She was far more advanced than I was and I could use that. Not HER, just her skills.

"Heh," I smiled slyly to myself again, remembering her blush at my face being so close to hers as I opened the door to my apartment.

M.E.A.N. W.H.I.L.E. A.K.I.R.A

Akira POV

That little bastard! Ugh! How dare he! I stormed around the city not really wanting to face Naruto or anyone else really.

One the bright side, at least I won the battle and I did a pretty bad ass job too!

I smiled slightly as I strolled around the trading district looking around for something to buy for Naruto, considering he took me in for the most part. The district was beautiful, like the rest of the city. There were a lot of sights and smells and faces that I missed from my childhood.

I wondered aimlessly picking up toys trinkets not really knowing what I was looking for. Finally I settled on buying him some tea and special dumplings, desperately trying to distract myself. I thought of Naruto and how sweet and determined he was. And alright he was pretty cute and he seemed to be just as strong minded as me, which I liked.

But no matter what I did, or how much I bought. For some stupid reason my mind kept flashing back to Sasuke and his lips and how I couldn't help my reaction or my heated face.

I am ridiculously hopeless. I came here for one reason and that one reason was not to be held back by new connections and emotions.

No matter whom those connections were with.

L.A.T.E.R.

I wondered home eventually and fumbled with the door handle when suddenly Naruto was in the door way holding it opened for me.

"Oh hey Akira!" I smiled at him as I followed him inside and set the bags on the table.

"I've got something for you." He raised an eyebrow.

"What is it? It's not going to explode or be poisoned?" I stared at him blankly before laughing hysterically.

"No silly, it's a gift for letting me stay here with you!" I handed him the dumplings and tea. "Oh and there is this too!" I handed him some coupons to his favorite ramen place that the guy gave to me outside his shop.

He stared uncomprehendingly. "What's the matter? You don't like them? I can get you something el-"

He cut me off before I could finish. "Akira you are so NICE!" He gave me a big bear hug and squeezed me tight before letting me go.

"I've never gotten anything like this before in my entire life! I mean from someone else besides Iruka sensei maybe. But to get a present from a girl-" I rambled excitedly.

I beamed at him happy for him.

"I'm so happy I got to be the first one. Thank you again for letting me stay here Naruto."

A.F.T.E.R.

"Well I was heading out to meet someone, when you came home but I can cancel if you want me too." Naruto said awkwardly.

"No, no that's ok I don't want to make you miss your date." I said a little sad that I was going to be alone again.

He laughed a little and then made a face. "Trust me it's not a date, just training with one of my other mentors."

"Oh well then get going I'll just chill around here I guess." I forced my smile but he either didn't notice or just chose to leave the awkward atmosphere as quick as possible.

The door slammed after him and I stared around not quite sure what the rest of the evening would hold.

Soooooo tell me what you think will happen or your thoughts maybe! :D

R&R anyone?
