Stupid Persistent Uchiha
Kakashi-sensei let off Team seven today. It was a Friday, and he decided to give his students a three day weekend. Especially since he made them train on a Sunday, for the bells test. Chiyoko woke up after her good night's sleep. Now that she had read up on herself, well, half of herself, she decided that she should put her plan to action. It's time to test the demon side of her. After twelve years of being human, she wanted to exercise her demonic powers.
Okay then. Who shall be her victim?
…
Chiyoko didn't know what exactly to do. How does she pick them out, who does she pick out, when should she hypnotize them and where? It should be someone that she doesn't know. She knows that Sasuke is suspicious of her. She has to find some random guy on the street…
ARGH! Chiyoko can't do that. She's too reserved, too shy, and too awkward. Maybe she should just have fun today. This is too difficult. And so, she went off to train.
Unfortunately, Fate hates her, so a certain someone came ambling through the trees and came upon her training. Sasuke was walking through, heading towards his usual training area, when a few kunai flew out in front of him. He stopped and looked in the direction it came from. He saw someone disappear through the trees. Thinking that it was someone who had horrible aim and was trying to hurt him, he followed the person.
Chiyoko threw a few kunai at a tree. They made a perfect line down the middle of the trunk. Satisfied, she jumped backwards into the trees, finding a different angle to hit the same tree and keep the same pattern. She climbed upwards and to the left. Tying strings to three kunai, she flipped around and spotted her tree. She threw the kunai to fly around a tree and head towards the tree straight on, using the strings to control them. She wanted the kunai to hit the tree at the same angle as the other kunai. The kunai hit the tree, but the strings were detached. They floated downward from her hand.
Nearby, Sasuke was hidden behind a tree, waiting for her reaction. When he had realized that it was Chiyoko, he decided not to go in with a full frontal attack. He would wait for an opening.
Chiyoko looked around. There was no one around. She jumped down towards her tree and examined the kunai. It must have been a fluke, but the kunai are in completely straight. Mission accomplished. She heard a small creak and whoosh. She turned around quickly and blocked the attacker's weapon with a kunai she pulled out of the tree. The attacker jumped back. It was Sasuke.
"Hm. Pretty good."
"Uchiha?"
"I thought I was completely silent. I couldn't even hear myself. How'd you know I was here?"
"Uh, I don't know. Good ears? Good intuition?"
"Huh. Sure."
"So what, I knew you were around. Explains the cut strings though. Did you do that?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Mistook you as someone attacking me."
"What? How?"
"The first few kunai you threw nearly hit me."
"Really? Oh, I'm sorry."
"Hmph."
Sasuke looked at Chiyoko and walked up to her. Chiyoko leaned back a little. He could be intimidating.
"Do it."
"Huh?" Chiyoko said with surprise. Do what?
"Do what you did before, when we were alone."
"What?" Why does he have to make it sound dirty? "Do what?"
"You know what I'm talking about. I did things that I wouldn't have ever done at that time."
"Wait, what time?" Oh God, can he pick a different way to say it?
"During the bell test. I know you did something. If you don't tell me what you did, then I'll tell you. And everyone else."
"Ha, dude, I didn't do anything. Except harass you to cooperate with me. Which worked, surprisingly."
"Yeah, surprisingly. I wouldn't have done something like that. What twisted thing did you do to me?"
So Chiyoko was right not to go out and hypnotize people. They would take it like this. They would think it's wrong. But now she was in a rut. A really deep ditch. A bottomless pit. How is she supposed to get out of this one? Well, it doesn't seem like he knows what she did. He just knows that she did something.
"I made you work with Naruto. Oh, no. It's the end of the world." Chiyoko said sarcastically.
Sasuke scowled. He grabbed the front of her shirt with both hands. "There is something wrong with you and you know I know that you know what I'm talking about."
"Wait, say that again?"
"Kuro." He said menacingly.
"Why are you getting so worked up over nothing?"
"You're stubborn."
"So are you." Sasuke stared at her for a moment then threw her against a tree behind her.
"Hey! Watch it, geez." He walked away and turned around. This girl, she was different. Was she different enough that she would go to all lengths to hide herself, or was it such a little difference that she didn't even think it was different? It was most likely the first one. He sighed angrily. He was getting unusually worked up over this.
"I talked to Kakashi-sensei…" Chiyoko stopped brushing herself off. He talked to Kakashi-sensei? Kakashi-sensei wouldn't say anything. He's not allowed to.
"He said that you know things most people don't." Chiyoko stared at Sasuke. "I'm not sure what he meant, but I think I have an idea…" He paused. Chiyoko was stressed. If he interpreted that the way she thought he did… Kakashi-sensei technically didn't do anything wrong. He didn't say anything direct, but still, damn that Kakashi!... Sensei!
He grinded his teeth. This was all or nothing. "Five years ago…" Chiyoko stood still. Sasuke took a deep breath. "Five years ago, my clan was annihilated. The next day, you came up and talked to me."
"You still remember that?"
"Don't you?"
"…"
"You talked to me, and you knew exactly what I wanted… How?"
"Who wouldn't want that?" Chiyoko tapped into his emotions. She needed to say the right things. "You're family, people you loved, were killed by your brother. I would want the same thing. It's a terrible thing to go through, especially at that age. I mean - " Chiyoko's expression fell. "If that happened to me, I don't think I would even be here. I'd be out there… Searching for him." Sasuke's expression was calm and smooth, but he was insanely depressed on the inside. He was broken up over losing his family and full of hate for his brother. And then he smiled. Smugness bloomed from him.
"I never said anything about my brother." Chiyoko stiffened. "I've never said anything about killing my brother. No one knows who it is that I want to kill."
"It's not very hard to put two and two together, Uchiha." Chiyoko retaliated. He was just playing with her. "You want to kill someone; you know who killed your family, your relatives. You're skilled enough and you've got the resolve to kill your brother, even though he's family."
"And how would you know that?" All of his sorrow and hate was gone. He was eager, excited, tense and… pleased. "How would you know that I'm capable of killing my own brother, my own flesh and blood? He may be capable of killing his own family, but that doesn't mean that I can."
Chiyoko stared at him. She was caught in his crossfire. How is she supposed to get out of this one?
"Did you assume that, or did you just… know?"
:O Oh noes! What will Chiyoko do? How will she get herself out of this predicament?
Thanks for reading! :D
