First Kiss—Chapter Sixteen
"Secrets are only made so that they can someday be told."

Sasuke slowly woke up, blood was all around him, some was on himself, he stood up slowly, moaning. Sakura ran up to him, mist was all around them, she was crying. "S-Sasuke!" she cried.
"Sakura!? What's going on!?" said Sasuke quickly. Sakura threw herself into his chest, forcing him to put his hands around her and to regain his balance. She kept on crying.
"Kiba. . .he's out of control. . .Sensei put up the mist jutsu that Zabuza had used against us to cloak our ninja, but we still cannot defeat him. . .or find him. . .he could be close right now!" Sasuke used one hand to reach into his pocket near his knees to get a kunai.
"Sakura. . .shh. . ." she quieted down a little, but her sobs were still barely heard. Sasuke removed his right arm from her and moved his left arm to her upper right arm. "Now!" he shoved her out of the way, Kiba's ovals flew from the mist, Sasuke quickly ducked to the ground. The ovals went over him as Sasuke quickly got back up, sprinting with a special boost from the ground as he got up.
He threw his fist at Kiba, who was smiling as Sasuke drew closer. The two ovals flew in front of Sasuke's fist, turning into a solid almost, bustling with chakra. A crack was heard as Sasuke's uninjured hand broke.
Aya laughed as she walked to Sasuke. "Uchicha! You really should have listened to me! See Kiba here, he's Einizigartig!"
"Shut up!" shouted Kiba. "You are not in this! Leave." Aya's face grew angry as she could not gloat any longer, but she followed his order. Her body flew into the mist.

(Not to confuse anyone, but while Naruto and Shino are talking in the following, please note that anything that isn't in quotes or saying he said or she said is in the flashback)

"Tell me Naruto, as your counselor on all this," said Shino, they were at the same place they talked last time, "how did you exactly defeat Aya?" Naruto walked around in the mist, holding his injured arm. He ran into a wall, cursing it.
He kept walking, now down the side of the wall. A voice was heard as he flipped around, Aya standing behind him. A fist flew into his stomach as he flew down the wall. He landed, his limbs bouncing off the ground as his limp body finally halted. He slowly stood, wondering why this person was attacking him.
Naruto quickly took out a kunai, as he felt her getting closer and closer, he then threw his kunai up to block her attack, nothing happened. It was then that her plan hit him, he flew around, Aya behind him, she laughed as she threw her hand out, Naruto flying down the way he had came.
Some more voices were heard as blood erupted from Naruto's mouth. He coughed, the voices started to argue, one of the voices was Soonichi's.
Naruto said, "Well. . .if Soonichi hadn't joined our side I do not think that I would have been able to defeat her. . . Well, they had a disagreement, he wanted to leave the Leaf as quickly as he could and regroup. It turns out that there were more Einizigartig, some attacking the Sand. Well. . .since Soonichi wanted to quit, leaving Kiba there to die, Aya said no, and the two started to fight."
"Oh. . .I'm sorry I was not there to see this all, this is the first time I have heard of the real story actually. Most ninja who were there aren't alive today. . ."
Naruto slowly stood up, using the wall as leverage. He didn't know where it had come from, as he didn't remember a wall being this long. He started to walk towards where he heard the shouts, and he slowly stumbled upon the fight.
Aya shoved Soonichi, who shoved back, Aya then threw a fist, Soonichi ducked, trying to punch her. Aya jumped back taking out a kunai, and screamed as she attacked Soonichi, who was unarmed.
"But why didn't she attack him with her power?" said Shino.
"Well, as I later figured out, Aya's power most consisted of her mind. When she faced a team member or someone she loved, she could not use it. I don't know how to explain it, but she did not use chakra for her power, it was a one in a. . .trillion kind of technique. So when she attacked Soonichi with just regular weapons she was quickly subdued, but when she finally forced herself to use her power against him I stepped in."
Naruto ran up to her, his kunai out, limping. She laughed at him but quickly got back in fighting position as Soonich attacked her again. It was as if he was diving at her, his head forward, his whole body in a horizontal position, kind of like he was flying.
Soonichi performed a flip, then threw the dagger down to Aya, it instantly stopped three inches from her nose, stopped by her jutsu. Naruto then acted as she started an attack, he dove forward, throwing the kunai into Aya's back, he flew past her and hit the dirt.
Aya stumbled forward a bit as Soonichi threw his own kunai into her stomach. She collapsed onto his shoulder as he held her up.
"Wow. . . that's the story?" said Shino.
"No, not all of it. . .but that's how I met Aya though. . .and that's how I live with her. . .almost immediately after that the Hokage showed up. I don't know what Soonichi did to Aya, but she is actually a normal seventeen year old woman. She was a normal fifteen year old woman then, but it was kind of like what Orochimaru did. . .he hypnotized her or something. . .you know what, that's all I feel like talking about today."

The next day

Naruto woke up, slowly moving past Hinata's picture, sitting down at the table. The woman sat down with him, giving him his coffee, it was almost an everyday routine. "Aya. . .sorry about yesterday. I've started to tell Shino the story. We've already got a year through."
Aya sighed, she looked into her coffee and then smiled. "It's alright. I don't know what you are going through, but I'm sure it is hard for you. Are you ever going to. . .visit. . .you know again?"
"I don't know if I can forgive her. . ." he looked up at Aya, after previously staring deep into his coffee. "Lets talk about something else, how was your day?"

AN: Some secrets revealed once again. The secrets in the last chapter had nothing to with Hinata being dead, but for all to know, Naruto and Hinata are not together at the present time, in the flashback they are, but not now. I hope you all got the convo between Shino and Naruto, as I tried to explain it best I could in the little parentheses. New chapter by (hopefully) next Tuesday. I'm really busy now. I'm happy I got time for this chapter. Each chapter takes almost two hours to write, one hour to plan (usually), and about thirty minutes to edit. So a lot of time goes into these chapters for your viewing pleasure. I hope you like them. :)
