Chapter 21

Who do you choose Orochimaru?

Tatsuke walked into the training area and sighed. "What's wrong Tatsuke?" asked Orochimaru smugly. Tatsuke ignored him and remained silent. "Tatsuke come closer," said Orochimaru with a wave. Tatsuke eyed him suspiciously then proceeded. Orochimaru put his finger up and pocked Tatsuke in the forehead. "Hm?" asked Tatsuke questioningly before his curse started to burn. Tatsuke cringed in agony and fell to the ground. Tatsuke shot his eyes open as unknown emotions filled him. Tatsuke looked blankly ahead. How should I feel? Anger, sadness, frustration. All these feelings were pouring into his body in an instant. "I-I'm reliving. The horror in my mind, Sakura, H-help me," he whispered finally as he collapsed onto the cold ground. "Yes Tatsuke. You are perfect," said Orochimaru disgustingly.

Sasuke quietly entered the lair and walked past the jail. All the men were killing each other. "phft, how pathetic," he said under his breath. "How was your trip Sasuke?" asked Kabuto as he entered as well. "Fine, why?" sneered Sasuke. "Nothing," said Kabuto as he walked away. Sasuke watched Kabuto walk away and walked away

himself.

Aya yawned as she sipped a cup of tea. "Hey Aya!" said Makoto, one of her friends. Aya over the years now had more friends. Actually a lot of girls were her friends except for the idiotic freak girls who people think are popular, yeah whatever. "What's up?" asked Aya. "Have you seen Mitsuki? Mitsuki and I are supposed to go on a mission in the land of the mist," said Makoto as she sat across from Aya. "I think she's at the field with Gaara," said Aya as she offered Makoto a sip. "I can't believe they're dating," said Makoto as she gave back the cup. " No kidding. I wouldn't be surprised if you see them making out," said Aya as she let her cheek slip onto her hand. "Jeez Aya, you're so straight forward," giggled Makoto with a kidding pat on Aya's shoulder. "Hey, I say it as I see it," said Aya as she finished off the last of the tea.

Mitsuki gasped for air as her and Gaara's lips separated. Mitsuki turned and laid on her back with a huff. "Mitsuki," said Gaara as he turned his head towards the smiling Mitsuki. "Yeah?" replied Mitsuki as she plucked a pretty pink flower that was brushing against her face. "I love you," said Gaara. Mitsuki shot up in her spot and stared at him. "Mitsuki why do you look so shocked?" asked Gaara. "Uh-uh-I, w-mu," stuttered Mitsuki repeatedly. "I-I never thought you'd say that," said Mitsuki as she stared at the flower. "Says the girl that just made out with me," said Gaara as he laid his head on his arms. "Hey Gaara lets play that game with the flower!" said Mitsuki excitedly. "You're so childish," said Gaara smugly. Mitsuki turned to the side and plucked the first petal. "He'll say it again, he'll not, he'll say it again, he'll not," repeated Mitsuki until she plucked the last. "He'll not," said Mitsuki sadly. She then felt arms wrap around her shoulders. Mitsuki tilted her head so it touched Gaara's cheek. "The flower said no. This sucks," pouted Mitsuki. "Well, the flowers lying," whispered Gaara as he plucked the stem out of her hands and into the air.

"I love you," said Gaara as Mitsuki replied with a "I do too,"

Orochimaru watched as Sasuke threw shuriken onto the board. "Sasuke. I have something important to tell you," said Orochimaru as he rubbed the snake's body against his face. "Yeah so?" said Sasuke as he took the shuriken off. " I've chosen who my apprentice is going to be," replied Orochimaru. Sasuke stiffened. "It will be Tatsuke," said Oorchimaru calmly as he let the Snake slither away. "What!" jeered Sasuke. "I've picked Tatsuke. Do I have to repeat myself," "Orochimaru-sama please why him?" questioned Sasuke. "Sasuke I get the feeling that you are not loyal to me as Tatsuke is," said Orochimaru as he left the tree he was leaning on. "Please let me prove it then!" demanded Sasuke. Orochimaru looked at Sasuke for a moment. "All right," said Orochimaru. "Yes, what do I do?" said Sasuke as he gripped his hands. "Orochimaru crossed his arms and chuckled.
