CHAPTER 11: Reminding

-10 minutes later: dorm lounge-

When Sasuke and Yumi walked into the lounge, the whole group was there.

"Yumi!" Kiba shouted as he pulled her into a hug," Where've you been?"

'I-I was at my place."

"You got us all worried."

"Until Usagi told us what you guys were doing." Kankuro said teasingly.

"What are you talking about?" Yumi said, a blush darkening her face.

"Yeah. What's this I hear about you two kissing?" Kiba asked her.

"H-how did...?"

"I told them." Usagi said with a giggle," I just ran back after you two finished.

Yumi 's face got redder. Not from embarrassment but from anger,"Usagi Himaro! I'm so going to kill you!" she yelled as she started to run forward. Kiba and Sasuke quickly grabbed both her arms and held her back.

"Yumi. Calm down!" Kiba ordered as she started to struggle out of their grip.

"Let me go!"

"Not until you calm down!" Yumi started to relax, but slowly," Good girl." Kiba said as he let her go.

"Finally!"she said as she ran forward. She ran past Kankuro and Gaara, who both tried to stop her, and quickly tackled Usagi to the ground."This is for not minding your own business!" she yelled as she raised a fist.

"Gotcha!" Sasuke said as he grabbed Yumi 's arms and pulled her off of Usagi. He placed a cloth over her mouth and she slowly fell unconscious.

"What did you do to her?"Hinata asked.

"Just a chemical that affects a certain part of her brain temporarily." Sasuke explained shortly.

"She's going to wake up, right?" Hinata asked again.

"Of course." Sasuke reassured her as he picked Yumi up bridal-style and carried her to her room.

"I'll get Nurse Shizune to come up." Ame sighed as she walked out the door.

-later that day-

Yumi woke up and found herself in her room. She tried to sit up but her wrists had been tied to the bedposts.

"Sasuke ."she growled. She pulled herself up to her hands and found they were tied with pieces of cloth. " He underestimates me." she thought as she used her teeth to untie the first piece.

Just as she had started untying the second piece, Sasuke chose that moment to walk in." What do you think you're doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" she said calmly, not looking up from her work.

Sasuke walked over to her and grabbed her left hand, which had been the first one freed. "How did you untie your hand?"

"I used my teeth. Now let me go."she ordered.

"I can't."

"Yes you can. Just untie my right hand and I'm out."

"There are two problems with that. One: Nurse Shizune said to keep your hands tied so you don't hurt Usagi."

"And the second reason?"

"I'd have to climb on top of you. Do you know how bad that would look if someone walked in at that moment?"

"Fine. Then give me my hand back so I can untie myself." she growled as she tried to jerk her hand back.

"Didn't you listen to the first reason? Nurse Shizune said you have to keep your hands tied up. At least until you calm down."

Yumi stopped trying to get her hand back and had a confused look on her face,"Why was I mad at her again?"

"She had seen us at that one place, ran back, and told the whole group what we did."

"What did we do again?"Sasuke started blushing and looked away from Yumi ,"What's wrong?"she asked as she gently took her hand away and went back to untying herself.

"Nothing's wrong. I was just..uh...never mind. What was your question again?" he asked as he looked back at her. "Hey!" He now noticed she had gotten her hand back and finished untying herself.

"My question was, what did we do again? I don't really remember most of last night."she explained as she sat next to Sasuke on the edge of her bed.

"Well...we sorta ...kissed."

"How far?!"she whispered, shocked at herself.

"Um...french?"Sasuke answered uncertainly, not sure how Yumi would react. He slightly relaxed when she didn't do anything. She was obviously in shock, "Yumi?" he said as he waved his hand in front of her face.

"I-I-I actually did t-that?"

"Um..yeah. You kinda...enjoyed it."

"H-how do you know?"she asked, returning to her stuttering, shy side.

"You..uh...kinda...moaned." he said slowly.

"I-I did...Me? Doing something like that? A-are you sure?"

"Yeah."he said, now almost fully relaxed. He tensed up when Yumi suddenly hugged him! "Uhh...Yumi? Are you alright?"

'You're the first person in a long time to make me open up !"she explained.

"So you're not bothered by the fact that we french kissed?!"

"Surprisingly... no! I did enjoy it. Thank you so much Sasuke-san!"

"What for again? And you don't have to use -san with my name."

"To answer your question :You're the first person in 7 years to make me fully open up to another person other than Hinata or Kiba . And what did you say about the suffix?"

"You don't have to use -san. You can use -kun or -chan."

"Y-you wouldn't mind if I used those?" she asked as she let go of Sasuke and sat up.

"No of course not...Anyway..Do you think you'll be ok enough to get through school?"

"Once again, you're underestimating me." she sighed as she got up. Yumi walked to the door and grabbed her backpack, but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked as he noticed her distress.

"Why does everything happen to me?"she asked quietly.

"What do you mean?" he asked as he walked over to her.

" Ever since you came, things have been happening to me. First the after-math of my fight with Hidan-sensei, Neji, the play, me and Usagi, the waterfall, and now...you."

"What do you mean me?"Sasuke questioned, realizing all that had happened in such a short amount of time.

"I'm actually falling for you when I've never been anything but friends with boys."

"So you admit that you're falling for me?" he teased as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

" Maybe. " she opened the door and started walking out," I'll be late for class if I don't hurry. See you at lunch Sasuke-kun."

"See ya ." he said as he gave a small wave. "She actually used something other than -san with my name . She must really be falling for me ."

He sighed as he walked out of her room and closed her door.

"Sasuke!" Usagi yelled as she bursted into the room.

"What?"

"Did you let Yumi go?!"

"Yeah. And?"

She sighed. All of a sudden she perked up," What did you do to her in her room?"

"Nothing. I was just talking to her."

"Then how come her face was red and her hair was messed up?"

"Her hair got messed up when she was moving around on her bed, untying herself before I got there. And her face is red 'cuz I told her about last night since she didn't remember." he explained," So don't go getting the wrong idea."

"Are you sure you didn't do anything else with her?" Usagi asked teasingly.

"Of course not! Didn't I just say, don't get the wrong idea?!"

"Fine. Fine."

"Now what did you want?" Sasuke asked impatiently.

Usagi thought for a minute," Oh yeah! You have a few classes switched."she said, handing him a new schedule.

Sasuke sighed," Alright. See ya at lunch."

"What ever." she said as they went their separate ways in the hallway.

(Ammorie)

" I can't believe I have physics already!" Ammorie thought as she entered her classroom. Unfortunately, Orochimaru-sensei was already there. On the plus side, Yumi was here. Ammorie quickly walked over to Yumi in the back and sat next to her.

"He always gives me the creeps. He's got to be evil." Ammorie whispered to her.

"I agree. I keep getting bad feelings and vibes off of him." she whispered back.

"You sound like a hippie."

"Yeah. I know. Usagi 's said that too when I mention things like that. She doesn't believe me."

"Well I agree with you on the feelings." Their conversation was cut short as a couple more students came into the classroom and class began.
