Me: okay... lets see how this goes okay? (well, you'll be seeing, I already have the other chapters in mind... and depending on when I want to update... ah you get the point...)
Kabuto: What are you trying to say? you actually looked ahead? I doubt it...
Me:...
Kabuto: (smirks)
Me:... Are you mocking me?
Kabuto: I'm doing that exactly, ahem- now then... Rika doesn't own Naruto.
Me: (grips a bat with nails, a spasticly twitching eye)
Kabuto: Wh...what? you're mad at me for being honest?
Me: Oh, and I'm getting closer to reveal where Naruto is... Kabuto: please don't tell me that Orochimaru kidnapped him for personal pleasures or something, its really likely of you. Me: O.O G-grah! S-shut up, K-kabuto! (twitch) Kabuto: are you sure you can hold still long enough to type this chapter? what a spaz... Me: I'm not a spazz! (twitches)
Sasuke clutched the shoulders of a shaking girl, who's blonde head shook back and forth as if holding great restraint.
"G-get away from me..." she whimpered, both of her knuckles cracking as they clenched and unclenched themselves when she drew them from his shirt, a ripping noise coild be heard.
Sasuke obeyed and took a few steps back, noticing a large slit in his shirt as he stared down at where her clawed hands once were.
"I'm sorry... I'll..."
She paused, feeling something cold and small splash against the top of her head sharply. "Don't look at me." she held her breath.
"Narumi..." Sasuke lifted his hand slightly, but she shook her head again, and turned to him on heel, ready bound into full sprint.
...And he let her. Sasuke let Narumi run off as she pleased, not giving the proper concern he should be... Or was he...?
She left, Sasuke welcomed hard drops of what seemed like ice, to weigh the strands of his hair, leaving them clinging to his wet face. It dawned on Sasuke what he should probably be doing, as he stared after her in a path of rain.
"...Damn it..." he huffed irritably, letting a cringe grace his untouchable features. An unnoticable droplette of sweat rolling down of his cheekbone silently. He took off after her in the midst of a strengthening downpour that stung at his back, his head hanging.
It actually felt like he was running through a neverending hissing whitness with the occasional greyish figure.
"Narumi...?" his voice was deep, he didn't let it crack, he kept his cool regardless of the situation. Trying to seem calmed, regardless of the fact that his now-crimson eyes searched frantically with the Sharringon, he acted like he didn't care, regardless of his actual concern.
Sasuke continued on his hunt, quickening his pace. And ahead of him, another pace quickened as fast as his did.
"Narumi." he called, more sternly, eyebrows lowering as he squinted through the impossible drizzle. Impossible because there is absolutely NO way it could start raining this quickly.
...Were there even rainclouds anywhere near Konoha before they started sparring.
Sasuke froze, he was frozen in his tracks, something had stopped him, almost as controlling as Shikamaru's shadow-posession juutsu.
He craned his head, now frantic in the slightest, as he searched for what may have halted him, his instincts perhaps.
Head automatically turning downward, at the greyish figure that seemed to almost glow in the white blurr surrounding it. Sasuke made almost no hesitations to lean down and grip the figure gently, it was firmly soft... the figure was breathing shakey breaths... drawing them in sharply and letting them out in sobs.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed in frustration as the figure failed to make realization of him being there.
Right... in front of it...
The figures blonde head shook, tiny fists pounding into the ground with rediculous strength that left dents, dents that were larger than they should be.
"Narumi..." Sasuke brought himself to his knee's reluctantly, restraint and temptation raging.
"D-don't llh...look..." the girl groaned, finding herself unable to finish, Sasuke leaned in closed to her and grabbed her by the shoulders to stop her shaking. And still, she held her head low, letting the rain hit the back of her head, her even through the tree's frail unbrellas of green, which were sheilding most of the water's force.
Regret slowly and mercilessly pounded itself into his chest with rusty nails, what he said... he meant something else...
Worse than Naruto... yeah, people said he had his own unique way of expressing himself...
"Worse" as in... better at making him hate her even more, for making him like her, Sasuke secretly wished that she would try to give a better attempt at pushing him away, by doing something that he would find unattractive, like being obsessed with him completely.
Sasuke was actually hesitant this time, he was hesitating to lift her chin up so she would-
"Look at me." he commanded, "open your eyes."
Narumi's eyes opened slowly, as if she was afraid to.
Sasuke couldn't even stop himself, staring down at the soaked blonde below him, staring up at him innocently with obvious fear of loosing control.
With a sigh, Sasuke stood up, taking Narumi's hand with him, "Come on, you're not going to stay out here in the rain all day, are you?" he said, turning his head to hide a blush.
Narumi stood, having been drawn to her knee's and foced to look up at Sasuke.
"I... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have r-run...off-"
"Good, you better be." Sasuke said, lifting his head even higher, looking at her from the corner of his eye with a smirk, "I've been looking for you, longer than I should have been, and plus, you're supposed to be at the Hyuuga household, you have to be presentable." he said, shoving his hands in his pockets.
A smile tugged at Narumi's lips, "I...I'm..." She bit her lip, tears swelling up in her eyes.
"You can thank me later." he stated, dragging her upward and to her feet. Sasuke turned around and started walking, hearing her quickened footsteps behind him.
"Damn him!" the cloaked man hissed.
"Are you alright, sir?" The other one mused, kneeling at his side.
"Do I look alright to you?" he bared teeth, clenching his fists. The kneeling man gave a half smile, barely chuckling.
"Well I suppose not." he said in a thoughtful tone, there was a pause after he stopped in mid-speech, except for the heavy breathing of the cloaked man who stood above the other. "What do you wish to do, my lord?" he finally asked.
The standing cloaked man laughed roughly, "heheh... He thinks that I've died... but with my current information on the girl's importance... and also my posession of it... gives me the upper hand in retrieving what has escaped me twice already."
"You mean the girl?
"Who else, you idiot?" he snapped, before pausing again, "...That Uchiha decided that he was too good for the power I offered him... and then stole my second resort... which actually ended up to be even greater of a subject than he was... He WILL pay..."
"Well, sir, how do you intend on achieving this?"
"How do you think? I'm not spelling everything out for you..."
The cloaked man hesitated, "you don't mean... we're not going to kill another princess are we?"
The other man chuckled, "Why no..." he said.
OOoOOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOoOOoOoOoOOOOoOooOOoOOoOOoOOooooooo
Oh... Do you hate me for ending it there?
Kabuto: who the hell were they supposed to be?
Me: Smartass... can't YOU of all people figure it out? I'm sure everyone caught on, it wasn't supposed to be any sort of difficult at all.
Kabuto: Uh huh... actually... I think I know.
Me: Sheesh...
Kabuto: review please...( huff)...
