Chapter 14: Unknown

Ok, before going on and reading, I just want you guys to know that this chapter is SUPER short. I just wanted to focus more on Sasu/Konan. Soon, you guys are going to see what I'm planning to do with the pair. But, hopefully, you'll understand both sides of their story. Enjoy this short work of art.

About half an hour had passed and there was still no arrival of the Akatsuki, or Ino. A couple of minute's ago, Sasori had walked down, looking like he was checking out something. Or at least, that was what Sasuke had assumed. Who was he looking for? Thundering, pouring rain had just subsided and probably the tears of the blue haired woman as well. That was, if she was crying at all. His attention was not to make her upset, but to make her leave him alone. He was already frustrated as it was, and being an Uchiha, words just came out harsh. But his conscious had been bothering him, something he didn't listen to much. Should he apologize? Should he go check on her?

He grunted in the complications of it all. Why do all that when you could do nothing at all? Oh, easy answer, maybe it was because he had been doing nothing for centuries it seemed and although he wouldn't admit it, she was the only person here who he didn't hate with a passion.

Soon enough, he had decided to go with it. "Why the hell not?" he questioned himself as the small drops of water outside began to stop altogether. A creaking noise was heard as he made himself up the stairs until he realized something, "Where does she stay in here?" His question was answered when he saw Sasori walking out of his room, giving him a killer glare. Sasuke stared back, "What?"

"…She's in there." Sasori pointed to his room, not changing his deadly eyes for a second. He began to walk ahead, "Don't do anymore damage, Uchiha!" he yelled back.

Sasuke shrugged, walking into Sasori and Tobi's room. There he saw her, seated in a old, black rocking chair, made out of wood, obviously. But she hadn't been rocking, only looking out the window. As soon as he took another step in, he saw her head snap in his direction.

"What do you want?" She asked, dangerously. Her short, dark blue hair landed on her neck.

Sasuke did no hesitation, "Hn….I guess I came b-because-" he paused. Did he stutter? When did that start? Was he nervous? Impossible, he thought.

Konan raised an eyebrow, "…What? Cat got your tongue?"

Just then, he came back, full on, "No, and don't look for me to apologize. Because I'm not-"

"Then why the hell are you in here?" She snapped.

He thought about it but he just couldn't find a reason, besides feeling guilty. He grunted, "You make it so hard for someone to even like you."

Konan clenched her fist, "Then don't like me then, Uchiha! I don't give a fuck! Seriously! Do you think I'm not use to that!"

"Oh stop pulling the sorry story!" Sasuke found himself screaming back, but not as loud.

She stood, "Like you're on to talk! Sasuke Uchiha, one of the most depressing, 'feel sorry for me' guys around! The only reason you're such a self-centered, careless jerk is because you're clan was murdered. That's all!"

His nose flared, "That's all! How can you possibly say that if that never happened to you! At least you had a family, a house you could call home!"

"No I d-didn't!-" her eyes started to burn. There was no way he was going to make her cry again. She held back the tears, walking towards him. Her amber eyes glared towards his, "You know nothing about me. So, what gives you the audacity to make such assumptions about me?" Her arm landed on his chest, "But I'll pay you back. You, Sasuke, are a careless, ruthless, ungodly, uncouth human-being. And that, is what you'll always be-"

His hand snatched her arm. He held the firm piece tightly, digging his eyebrows and birthing a deeper type of glare. From the corner of his eye, his saw the pale piece of skin turn harsh red. It was obvious she was in pain, but she held that look of hatred. What the hell was her problem? What gave her the idea she could take on him?

Konan finally spoke, "What?" she spat out, "Are you going to hit me? Do it. It'll just be a little more pain added to what you've already done. No big deal."

He fiercely pushed her arm back down, "What did I do that was so heartbreaking?" He asked calmly, but sarcastically.

"What, you already forgot?" She took a step back, "Are you such a let down that you make it your plan, everyday, to badmouth somebody then act as if nothing happen. Huh?"

He brushed his hair with his hand, "Get over yourself-"

"No, you get over yourself!" Even she couldn't believe how angry he was making her. There was something about his ignorance that bothered her, "There's no fucking way I'm going to let you get under my skin, twice-ugh!" Konan yelped, clenching her stomach. Her body shook rapidly as her eyes began to turn white. She felt her blood vessels speeding in her body.

Sasuke's eyes truly began to open in awareness. Before he could do anything, he watched as she dropped to the floor, yelling in pain. His Uchiha ways didn't disappoint him, he activated his bloodline, seeing through her skin. He almost gasped at what he saw. Thing was, he didn't understand it. All her cells were….

He turned it off. There was no time now. Bending on his knees, he picked the girl up and lied her on one of the bed's. "What should I do?" he questioned loudly. He waited for her to respond, but she never did. Instead, he sat next to her, took her body into his arms and stayed in that position. He didn't know if it helped or not, it was just the only thing he knew to do. A few seconds passed before he realized she was calming down. Looking down on her pale, ghostly face, he asked concernedly, "…You ok?"

Konan blinked. She gazed down, seeing her body snuggled up against his chest. This caused her to immediately jump up away from his grasp, "What the hell were you doing?" she screamed.

Sasuke stood, "You fainted…I was just helping-"

"And since when did Uchiha's help others?"

"What do you have against Uchiha's?"

"N-Nothing," She took a slight pause, before going berserk again, "I-I just don't like them, that's all." She commented back in a swift second.

The youngest Uchiha walked by the entrance, "Well lucky for you, there aren't that many of them left." Slamming the door shut, he went back to his previous section. That moment he realized something, he didn't care for Konan. Not at all.
