---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

The ramen was placed, still steaming hot, as I snuck a glance at Sasuke. Why was Sasuke glaring at the girl? Obviously he was jealous. Of what? Of her? Maybe. But what could drive him to be jealous? He couldn't. He wouldn't. I smirked. Soooo. That's why Sasuke was jealous. Very Interesting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

"Dobe, why are you smirking?"

"No reason. I just happen to know your secret." I said smugly. Sasuke shifted and faced me.

"What secret?"

"Oh. Just the fact you happen to have fallen in love with her."

"Her?" He cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah. You know her, that girl Aino." Sasuke looked relieved. Hmm.

"I don't love her."

"So then you do love someone, riiiiiight?" Only one word could describe the look on Sasuke face, as he tensed up. Shit. "Aren't you going to tell me who you love?" I said in a singsong tone.

"I don't love anyone, and if I did I wouldn't be telling you, baka."

"Why not?"

"You're annoying."

"What' s your point?"

"That is my point, dobe." I glared as Sasuke picked up his chopsticks and started to eat the ramen, I sighed and did same. I looked at Sakura, who was still fuming about the Aino-Mala incident. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the "almighty" Li had returned. He caught my gaze, and smirked. Bastard. I saw him whisper something to a girl. Then started to flash me the "look." The "look" is the whole I'm-smart-you're-dumb-I'm big-You're small-I'm- right-You're-wrong. I sent him a get-over-yourself look. He frowned, I won, and he left.

"Hey Naruto. What was with you and Li?"

"Nothing." I told Sakura. I did NOT want to tell her, I almost got in a fight with that bastard, because he was teasing over my so-called family life.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." I added my infamous fox grin. The matter settled, Ramen goodness waiting. You know you have that 'feeling' when you are being stared at. Well I have that 'feeling' right now, am not really enjoying it. I look up and find many and I mean a whole lot of people staring at me. Very awkward. And whole lot of whispering. About my "new" outfit. Thus causing me to stuff my ramen goodness down my throat at an inhuman rate, almost causing me to choke on my chopsticks. Like I said Awkward.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

I was the first one done and found the floor very interesting, since a whole lot of people, who I don't even know, find me interesting. No comment. On how weird that is. Oddly enough it seems Sasuke was the last one finished, he seemed to be staring off into space way too much. We get out of there and Sakura cracks a joke, on how I should wear leather more often so I get noticed. Oddly enough Sasuke didn't laugh. Usual he would of.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

He's acting worse then..Well I don't want to say it, but a short-tempered girl PMSing. He's ticked. He still not jealous, is he? But he doesn't like Aino. So who does he like? He apparently caught me staring at me, and sent me a "what are you staring at" look. Okay so asking Sasuke who he happens to like is out of the question. Well then, I'll just find out for myself.

Kakashi-sensi starting talking about today's events. Not that I was paying attention, I only caught his last words of more training tomorrow. I mentally sighed, No mission. Yep. Sakura was still clinging to Sasuke. I growled lightly. I was going to do something about it, till the path to my house came up. I shrugged it off and headed in a different direction.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

" Who are you?" I stopped as someone just from the shadows. He or she was dressed in black. I mean the works: black shoes, black pants, black shirt, black lipstick, black mask, and to top it off a black cloak. A Goth ninja. Okay.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------

"Who are you?" I mimicked

"I asked you first."

"I'm not telling."

"I am Yami." Yami like in darkness? Someone needs a life." I strike like the night. I breathe the night. Therefore I am the night." A little Melodramatic, aren't' we?

"Well Yami, what do you want? "

" I seek power. I seek strength. To earn this strength I speak of. I kill. I kill to get stronger. So I kill you I get power. Understand the night gives me strength, but not enough. Not enough chakra, I'm afraid. Don't take it personally."

"Why do you need to get stronger?"

"It does not concern the dead." He / She attacked with a shiruken, throwing five or six. I dodged and sneak up upon it with a well-placed kick. Caught it off its guard, giving me enough time to A) create doppelgangers and B) grab some of its weapons since I didn't have mine. It woke up and charged pulling out a dagger nicking me in the side. Before it could dealt a more fatal blow, I ran a shiruken across its face, and it howled in pain.

My left arm across my side pressing against it, trying to stop the blood flowing freely from the cut. I winced, as this cut was deeper the I thought. Before it could attack again, my 'shadows' ganged up on it. Two of them were punching it in the face, while my other seven were forcefully holding it to the ground. I leaned on a tree gathering the strength for a final attack. By now realize he or she was good, faster, stronger and already dealt me a powerful blow. So I had to deal with whomever fast. Grasping my last shiruken, I charged from the backside and stabbed it hard in neck. It turned and my shiruken got it in the left shoulder. Either way, it was weaken as it collapsed on the ground.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

I walked toward whoever as my 'shadows' disappeared; I was exhausted from putting up my doppelgangers so long. At least twice as long as I did normally, I was almost there. Is it knocked out? I snuck near it carefully, too close. Is it breathing? I leaned over its shoulder, it got up suddenly. Shoving another dagger in my chest and using extra charka to throw me into a tree. The tree broke due to the force of energy, as I heard and felt a loud crack. Not good. Not good at all.

As I tried to stand I found that loud crack was my left shoulder. Which was not dislocated, but still hurt like hell. Also due to the wet substance that seemed to be flowing from my head, messing up my vision, which was blood. Everything kinda looked red. I moved my right hand to grasp my left shoulder, to ease some pain if any. It didn't. I stood in a defensive stance. My attacker approached me, to meet a rather large heat wave. My knees gave way. The world was spinning. I'm going to be sick. I blinked. On the sidelines, stood a mad Sasuke. Who did not look happy.

He/ She was still alive, hard to believe after being almost burned alive, glared at Sasuke before taking off. Everything started to spin really fast. Why was the ground upside down? Not like this. Someone please don't let Mr. Personality see me like this. Too late. He did. I accept total humiliation as he walked towards. Yep. I can already hear him rubbing it in my face already. Or maybe it's the loud ringing in my ears. If everything doesn't stop spinning so fast, I'm going to hurl, vomit, toss my cookies, throw up, Puking, Ralphing, spewing guts, Technicolor yawn, whatever I might do all of them. It won't be pretty. Cause I reaaaaallly don't feel good. I feel like shit. Close my eyes, so maybe everything will stop spinning and that thing that's rising in my throat will stop and go back down. Too much to ask for.

I could feel Sasuke grasping my right shoulder asking if I'm okay. The answer is kinda obvious. If I look as bad as I feel, and I stated that I feel like shit. So I look like shit. The answer is no, I am not okay. Stuff won't stop spinning, giving me a headache, my shoulder hurts like hell, and blood is flowing freely from my body. Do I look okay? Noooo. Do I feel okay? Hell No. You know when you're awake but not really. Well I'm in one of those. I am on the edge of consciousness, and I can either go over the edge to unconsciousness, stay where I am, or wake up. Sasuke shaking me harder. Like I'm not in enough pain already. Stupid headache. Stupid Goth ninja. Stupid injuries. Everything is just stupid, cause they won't stop spinning. Okay I've made my choice. As stupid as it sounds, I tried to get up. Yet someone has me in a death grip, and I hear voices. But it seems my pain has numbed my senses. So everything spins faster if possible. Till it goes black. Yep. To put it simply I blacked out.

I: Sucks to be him.

Y: Review already. The story is getting good. But where's the fluff.

I: Don't worry its' coming.
