Once everyone was finished with their breakfast, Masuyo stood in the kitchen to do the dishes and not hear anyone complain about this or that being dirty. She was starting to feel like a homemaker instead of a kunoichi. Narrowing her eyes, she started to work on getting the dishes that was there done.
She glanced at the door quickly when it opened and showed Sasuke in a different outfit. Sighing, she took his dishes and started to work on them.
"Has he tried anything?" Sasuke hissed, seeing her stiffen at the mentioning of the incident between her and the shark nin.
"No. He knows quite well that I hate him." She answered, not bringing up all the times she tried to kill him with common kitchen utensils. She wanted to but resisted it.
"Good." He slightly purred and started out of the room.
"Sasuke, if you can, talk to Oto-san so I can restock on some of the foods." She asked in a statement, her hands submerged in the water as she looked at him.
Glancing over his shoulder, he nodded and walked out of the room. Growling to himself, he knew he shouldn't be getting comfortable around the half Uchiha. She had blood that shouldn't exist. Especially since the only person that did have that blood was the Sage, or so Madara says. Also, a part of her was of the clan that made the Uchiha turn this way.
Masuyo slouched as she stared at the soapy water, blowing at the bubbles. She was bored now. She wasn't afraid to admit that.
Letting the water sit in case someone had dishes that needed to be put in, she walked out of the room and to the stream she was at before. Taking a breath, she looked around. It reminded her of home so much. Her mother's farm that was in her name by working so hard and next to the Nara deer farm.
"What do you think you're doing with Sasuke-kun?" Karin's voice rang out, making her freeze and look at the location of the voice. Sure enough, the auburn haired teen was standing there in the brush with a smile on her face.
"It's none of your concern at all." She hissed back, turning and walking away. This hafu knew when to fight and when to run. She wasn't in the mood to fight today.
"All he's going to do is use you to help create the clan. I hope you know that. Then you'll be labeled slut." Karin brought up, strolling over to the water and smiled as the dark-haired woman stopped.
Turning around with her temper flaring, she growled. "How would you know this? Has he already thrown you away like a used toy because you couldn't please him? That has to be it."
Karin knew she shouldn't fall for the woman's tricks but it was getting hard not to. She wasn't a slut that no one used. She was only made for Sasuke and it was known well. Glaring, she adjusted her glasses.
"You know something Karin. I notice something about you since you showed up. You mess with your glasses when something is true or you think something is true." Masuyo pointed out and started toward the cave.
"How would you know? You haven't seen me long enough to know slut. You just lock yourself in that room of yours and wait for Kisame to come and rape you." Karin pushed on, smirking more when the hafu stopped in her tracks once more.
Narrowing her eyes, feeling her sight change a little, she turned and charged at the crimson eyed sensor ninja. It was like something else was controlling her, like the demon her father sealed into her, was acting on the anger she had. Balling her hand, she threw her fist at the glasses.
With each punch she threw, she smiled at the screaming she got. It was like music to her ears, music that she wanted to hear for so long.
Readying one of her sai, she started toward the location of her heart but was pushed off by Suigetsu and Juugo. Narrowing her eyes, she blinked when she saw Madara and Sasuke start out into the little clearing.
"I thought you would know better then to open old wounds Karin." Madara hissed, looking at his child. He noted the change of her appearance, it had to be from nebi's child. Turning it back to the auburn haired woman, he sighed.
"Madara's right Karin. If you want to see tomorrow and not be killed by her, I best not do it again. Do you hear me?" Sasuke threatened.
Masuyo stared at the four that were new to the area, feeling the temper she did have disappear. Her eyes changed once more. Everything was a bit duller then before. That had to be the power of the Sharingan that people feared.
Starting toward the cave, she was stopped by her father.
"You are to get what you need and come back here Masuyo. I've gotten word that Konoha is sending out squads to look for us." Madara warned as he stared at her from the corner of his eye.
She nodded and went into the cave, hearing footsteps follow her. It wasn't Kisame; she recognized his chakra immediately. This one had two different types of feelings toward it. "Sasuke?"
The 'hn' told her right away that it was the Uchiha. She nodded slightly and started out of the cave once more with money that Madara left out for her. Pocketing it, she continued out her way with Sasuke taking a bit of the lead.
"How did your mission go?" She asked, looking around the forest.
"Fine." He answered.
Raising an eyebrow, she shrugged. He might be tired. That had to be it for his moodiness.
Once they got there and got everything on the list, she stopped with some of the bags on the ground. Looking at the sky, she frowned at the clouds blocking everything but a faint outline of the sun.
"It's around noon." Sasuke answered, noticing her staring at the sky. "Let's get something to eat and then continue."
She nodded and followed him toward a little shack that sold dango and other foods. Sitting down on one of the benches, she was surprised that he sat next to her. Lowering her gaze, she ordered for two for her while he took care of his own. Pushing one of the bags with her sandaled foot, she sighed.
"What happened when we were gone?" Sasuke inquired.
"Nothing. It was boring there. There seemed to be no excitement like when you and taka are there. Suigetsu and Karin always arguing over something." She replied, continuing to stare at the bags.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow but let it fall quickly. He was taken back a bit that she would say something like that. Maybe he was falling for her and because of that, he was beginning to feel the emotions he threw away long ago. Swallowing a little, he looked at the long-haired hafu that was beside him.
"Did . . . did you miss me?" He asked even though he was hesitant of the outcome.
Jumping a little, her gaze fell onto the full-blooded Uchiha with it widened a bit. It was unexpected that he would ask something like that. Smiling a little, she looked back at the bags and answered, "yeah."
He knew from then that she was falling for him when she had blood that could be considered sacred or cursed. It was up to the person that heard of it to decide. He nodded to the woman that delivered the dango and watched as Masuyo took a stick and started on hers.
Pushing the bag around some more, she went onto her other thing of dango and held the sticks in her mouth. She had a little habit of chewing on sticks like dango, and etc. when it came to eating them. Getting up, she handed her plate to the woman and bowed.
Sasuke paid for the food and turned toward the Uchiha with Senju blood. He went and grabbed some of the bags and followed her back to the base.
When they got back, she started on getting everything put away, pushing everyone that wanted to help, out of the kitchen. She had to keep herself occupied or she might go nuts because of these feelings. How would her mother act if she knew?
Probably give her advice on everything there is to know about men. Sighing, she set the last package of meat in the freezer that was filled with meat and ice. Laying her head against the cabinet that was over head, she wanted to hit it repeatedly.
"Kuso." She mumbled.
Throughout the rest of the day she tried to act normal when it came to things but it didn't seem normal now. She was admitting to herself that she was falling for the Uchiha that was living in the past. When it was time to get some sleep, she flopped down onto her bed with the lights out, laying on it on her stomach.
Closing her azure eyes to take in the darkness of her subconscious, she was jerked away by the sound of the door. Grabbing her sai, she pointed at where she knew the throat was.
"Who is it?" She demanded.
"Sasuke, who else." He answered, staring at her through the darkness.
Putting the sai back slowly, she took in his chakra and didn't find anything wrong with it. Nodding, she laid back onto her bed with her back to the Uchiha in the room. "Aren't you going to bed?"
"I am." He said and walked over, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
She jumped and looked at him through the darkness. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Going to sleep." He muttered and leaned down, capturing her lips with his. He smirked at the jump in her chakra, letting her go and laying on his side with his back to her.
She stared at the Uchiha for who knows how long and reached over, wrapping her arms around his chest, holding him. It seemed like a dream to her that he was there with her. "I love you Sasuke."
He stared into the darkness at the confession, waiting for silence to control the room again. Closing his eyes, he mumbled, "Love you too . . . Masuyo."
