Chapter III: Feelings

Almost two years passed by since Kyoshi was saved by Sasuke and brought to their home. She was like a family to them and Sasuke's best and close friend. She and Sasuke would talk about almost anything and everything. They both went outside for a walk down the path. " So what's up for today? It's been so boring sitting around." Kyoshi said with a yawn. " I don't know. It has been boring though... Why don't we go down to the lake?" sasuke suggested. " You know I don't know how to swim."

"Then Why don't I teach you how?"

"You would!?"

"Why not?"

They both walked down to the lake and sasuke jumps into the cool crisp lake. "Man.. this feels great! C'mon Kyoshi! come in the shallow" Sasuke said. Kyoshi took of her shoes and walked into the water. " It's so cold!" Kyoshi giggled then came to sasuke. "Okay, all you have to do is use your legs" Sasuke instructed. They enjoyed themselves in the water and it seemed as if they got closer to eachother than ever. After an hour or so, they sat down on the shore, watching the golden sun set, as if it was sinking into the water.

"Sasuke..."

"hm? What is it?"

" I hate war... I hate it when people despise other people just because of what gifts they have....They hate us so much that... They would do anything just to kill us!" Kyoshi wept. "No way that would happen to us Kyoshi! No way! I promise that I'll protect you... Always..." Sasuke assured her. " Kyoshi I-I...." Sasuke stuttered, wondering if it was the right time to say it. Kyoshi looked up at him with a sweet smile on her face. " I love you too" She whispered then kissed him. Sasuke was shocked for a moment. Her lips... are so soft.... and sweet... Sasuke thought to himself as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Sasuke.... I love you so much... Kyoshi said in her mind as her hand touched his cheek. I never want to let you go... Never!
