Chapter 6 What seemed like five minutes was actually five hours. It felt as if as soon as I fell asleep, I was awaken by a loud knocking at my door. I couldn't move and I ached all over. I closed my eyes and hoped for the noise to stop.
"Hey! Sasuke!" Why can't he just shut up. "Hey! Wake up! You're the last one sleeping!"
I groaned as I grabbed a random object and threw it at the door as it opened. Stupid Naruto. Why can't he ever leave me alone?
"Go away," I grumbled.
"Sasuke," that voice, that dream, that girl. "You've already been assigned on this mission. You can't back off now."
Why must Kina and Tyde continue to haunt me? My mind started to wander again, back to the disturbing dream last night. Chills went down my spine. More blood. I shook myself back to reality.
I knew that if I wanted to prove my purpose against Itachi that I would need to complete this task assigned to me. I sat up, placed my head in my hands and rubbed my forehead.
"Atama ga itai desu," I grumbled.
"Then get yourself some ice and put it on your head because we're about to leave," yelled out Naruto. "Hurry up!"
I dragged myself slowly from the ground. Still squinting my eyes, I fumbled around for my shirt. I felt a wet towel being placed upon my face.
"Here," It was Tyde's voice. "Use this. This will make you a bit more awake."
"No thanks," I returned. "I'm fine."
I found it, slipped it over myself and shook myself awake. I whipped my kunai pouch around my waist and equipped myself with two fuma shurikens. Now I'm ready for Kina's return.
They all looked back, not knowing how long it will be before the return, but for me, there was no turning back. I can't look back, and even if I did, all I would find are lost hope and nightmares. With my back turned to the entrance of the village, I bid my farewell.
"Ikimasho," I murmured to myself and as if it was on my cue, we all walked away at once.
There are those walks where you walk slowly and enjoy the chirping of the birds. This was one of them. Kina's light voice attracted some of the nearby birds to join in her song. As I listened to her singing, my heart relaxed; the tension lessened and it was soothing to me. Out in places like these, who knows what kinds of anbus are hiding in the trees. The singing... it made me forget.
I glanced over at Tyde whose reaction was the same as mine. I can't blame him. Her voice carried the melody across so smoothly.
I shook myself out of the trace-like state and reminded myself to be alert to any ambush. Out of nowhere, a bush made a sudden jolt. I jumped a bit, and then relaxed. An anbu was too sly to do such a thing. Sure enough a tiny purr was heard.
"Mew," The sound came from the bush. Kina turned around and cheerfully greeted the little kitten with coos and beckoning.
"Tiger," She stroked the little creature's chin. "I've been worried about you. Where did you run off to? Don't ever do that to me again."
Tyde looked surprised to see the cat. His face relaxed and he smiled as he gently took the kitten into his own arms and cradled it.
"Wow," Tyde's eyes didn't leave the kitten. "You still have her?"
Kina's smile grew wider. "Yup, she's been my faithful friend ever since I left two years ago. Actually... she's been my only friend since."
Tyde raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Too bad I couldn't go with you... I'm really sorry I didn't give you anything more than this cat." He handed Tiger back to Kina.
"Oh, no," Kina continued to stroke Tiger. "It's the best thing you've given me. Thank you."
So they've been friends for a very long time. I see now.
The dumbest thing a boy can do at a time like his is reach for a girl's behind. I guess Tyde is very stupid. As his hand reached over to touch her, I took out my kunai pressed the blade against his wrist warning him to step back.
"Respect the ladies helping us on our mission please..." I glared at him, not removing the kunai. Kuna turned around quickly and saw how close we both were to her. Her eyes narrowed. I didn't exactly see what went on, but I heard a loud smack. Then my left cheek starte to sting. I looked up just in time to see Tyde getting slapped.
Giggles arose behind me. I glanced over my shoulder to see Naruto and Kiba snickering at s. Shikamaru and Neji simply sneered at me like I deserved it. That bstard. I didn't do anythhing to deserve this. I threw my kunai at his left arm. He just kept on walking as the kunai flew closer at him. I watcheds the kunai flew right through him and his body dispersed into water. A cold, metal blade pressed against my neck.
"Tsk tsk," Tyde's voice rang out behind me. "And you call yourself Uchiha. You should be ashamed."
I opened my mouth to speak, but Shikamaru interrupted. "Save the fighting for later. Let's just try to ge to the Hidden Mist... alive."
I don't know who these two characters that call themselves Kina and Tyde are, but I didn't like them.
