Part 8
At the forest, team seven and akari are training.. since akari has nothing to do..
kakashi tells them to meditate for this training.. all were but sakura has something on her mind about akari..
sakura's POV
somethings wrong with her.. shes different.. shes not like the others.. by her movements, shes fast, and she knows all of my moves.. and my thougts..
i hate to admit it but her movements are graceful.. and she can even surpass sasuke in speed. kakashi-sensei must know everything about her. he is
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"sakura, your not meditating." kakashi sensei said.
'kakashi-sensei must know everything about her. he was her sensei and related to her.' thought sakura.
"sensei.. can i talk to you.. alone?" she asked. then they went off in another direction away from the others.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as the remaining three tries to meditate with their legs crossed and hands on their knees..
"nothings happening?!! is something suppose to happen?!" naruto whispered to the two, peeping one eye at them. he was unpatient and didnt really understand the meaning to meditate. at this remark, akari opened the eyes to see naruto confused and giggled to herself. sasuke was just trying to get something from meditating but was annoyed by naruto's presense.
"just shut up moron." he said.. continueing his meditation.
"naruto-kun, you should try to be quiet and just relax." akari said as she closed her eyes once again. she showed two sides of her.. to people like naruto and sasuke, she was a warm-hearted girl who felt like everything was fine and perfect. but to everyone else who despised her, or who she thought they did, she was a cold girl who just had nothing but lonelyness..
sasuke peeked over to see akari.. as the team was spending more time with her.. even he bonded with her, with the fact that she was different.
sasuke's POV.
man, shes different.. whenever i look at her, this thing appears in me.. this feeling..
shes pretty and all but thats not all.. i have to admit, even sakuras pretty.. but shes different from her..
i dont know how kind she can be after all that.. after all that pain.. and i know that feeling.. but she still opens up to few, but still.. she opens up to people..
who am i kidding, shes like the rest.. she still has kakashi..
appparently, i have.. noone.. although, she shuts him off.
but she is foolish, to shut off kakashi like that.. to shut off the whole village.. what am i thinkin?!! i would have done the same.. and i have..
i realize.. she can understand me.. how much the pain is..
"sasuke-kun, is something wrong?" came a voice. "your not meditating.." akari looked at him with a concerned face.
"yeah, and you told me to meditate." naruto joked.
"nothings wrong.. i was just thinking, akari-san." sasuke then gave a fake smile.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"kakashi-sensei, you know, is there something.. special.. or different about akari-san?" sakura asked when they were far away enough from any eavesdropping.
"huh? why do you ask sakura?" the masked sensei asked.. trying to assume sakura doesnt know anything.
"cus it just seems she has something.. well does she?" sakura asked.. more likely demanded to know..
the man just looked at akari who seemed to be laughing at something. he sighed and sat against a tree nearby. sakura, thinking that he was goin to talk for quite long, since he sat down, sat down too, on an empty log.. he sighed again.. like it was something bound to be known. he opened his mouth to speak.
"akari does have something special.. like a special blood, but it is also a burden for people close to her, and a threat to others.." kakashi started out with this. sakura was confused by this introduction.
"what do you mean.. sensei?" she asked. he really wasnt eager to continue.. but he did..
"when she was born.. like other advanced bloodlines.. was born with a advanced blood.. but it didnt run in the family, she was the only one in our family who had the blood.. it was awkward when we found out she did, but we were really happy for her.." he continued to watch over her as he continued his 'story'..
"but, like her.. oddness of having an advanced blood, this gift was also different."
"how?" sakura realized that she was right.
"see, her gift was like the sharingan, she can read her opponents thoughts, and moves.. but she cant copy them though.. just read their minds." he said.
"thats not that strange." sakura said, as if kakshi sensei was losing his mind.
"not by her will or by the usage of chakra." at the sound of this, sakura got shocked. "so she hears the thoughts of others just by being around them."
"that must be crazy." sakura said.
"it came to affect when she was 4.. she had a hard time.. got scared.. mostly, the villagers were scared of her."
"huh?" sakura was shocked again.
"they knew about her, so they felt weird, having their minds read and stuff..they thought she was a freak.." kakashi looked really painful..
"so noone loved her.. exept for her-" sakura just realized that the only people akari loved and were loved by, were killed.
"the hokage took care of it though.. he put a seal so that she can at least control it.. but even though, the people were very much despising her with the fact that she can do it whenever."
there was a silent pause since kakshi was pretty much finished telling her the 'story'.
"well, i guess we gotta get back."
"..yeah.." sakura and kakashi then headed back towards the others.
