Chapter 10~
It was really windy. Dammit. There was sand in his eye. Sasuke coughed as something dry tickled in his throat. Stupid wind. Stupid sand. Why'd he come to the Sand Village again??
Flashback~
"What village are you going to today??" Tsunade asked as he arrived there that morning at 8:00 A.M sharp. He shrugged. "We'll have to resort to the coin again."
"Heads-sand, tails-sound." He said. The Hokage tossed the coin in the air. It held its own show of flipping in the air before it landed on the ground, rolled around for a while and then finally settled to a resting spot. It was heads.
"CHIKUSO!!!" Sasuke cursed, "Sand again?!?!?!"
"You're going to Sand today." Tsunade observed.
"I know that." He growled. "Tell me something I don't."
"That means you'll run into Itachi today." She said, thoughtfully.
"Anything else I know??" the boy muttered, darkly."
"Hn..." the Hokage went deep into thought. Sasuke groaned as he impatiently waited for her to finish her thinking. "Ah!!" she clapped her hands in triumph. "Itachi's going to be at the Village!!"
"No really." He rolled his eyes.
"So that means...." Tsunade grinned. "Ne, Sasuke, you can go to the village as yourself, not Sora today because everyone will think you're Itachi."
"NANI?!?!?" he exclaimed, "I don't look like that bastard do I??"
"No, of course not, you look like Naruto." She told him sarcastically. "Well, do you want to go to the village as yourself or what??"
"Hell yeah I do!!"
"Bye." She said, pushing him out the door, "Maybe you'll get more information this time, now shoo." And shut the door in his face.
"Stupid!!! You don't say 'shoo' to people, you say shoo to annoying stuff like flies and fleas." Sasuke said darkly to the door.
"That's what you are." Tsunade's voice came from inside the room. "Now, shoo!!"
~End Flashback
Oh. That was why. Dammit. Blame everything on the stupid coin.
Here at the Sand Village, Itachi seemed... erm...how should he put it...popular. There were several men who walked up to him to demand money or yell at him for killing their friends or family. All the boy did was stare blankly at them and blink.
He had been invited to several meetings that consisted of a lot of information. Sasuke made a mental note to tell Tsunade he could gather more information while he was not in disguise. Information such as Itachi was for some reason working for the Sand Country and the illegal copy of the next issue of the series she reads was out. Yea, very useful information aren't they??
Apparently, Itachi was quite good at predicting what would happen in many cases, Sasuke found out. That was the what, fifteenth time Itachi won a bet? Sasuke would be going home very rich...and the types of bets ranged from which cat dies and who wins a fight. So far he had 56,837 yen to take home. Oh, and here comes another man looking very pissed off...
"How the hell did you know that that...that...WEAKLING was going to win?!" the man wearing a cloak to protect himself from the wind-blown sad snarled, shaking a fist at him.
"I didn't," Sasuke shrugged.
"LIAR!!!! Then why did you bet ten thousand yen?!" the bearded man nearly screamed.
"Ten...thousand...yen...?" Sasuke's eyes went wide. Itachi was a big gambler.
"YES!!! AND THANKS TO YOU I LOST MY LIFE'S SAVINGS!!!" the man was yelling now, attracting some attention. Luckily it was quite windy today and not many people were out walking due to the amount of sand in the air.
"It's not my fault you bet that much money..." the dark haired Chuunin muttered, not wanting to open his mouth too much or the sand will get into his mouth. That wasn't a pleasant feeling. 'That man must be swallowing a lot of sand...' he thought, rolling his eyes, which were narrowed to block most of the sand in the air.
"YES IT IS!!! You were the person that came to me and bet that much anyway," he went back to hissing. Apparently he did get sand in his mouth...
"No I wasn't," Sasuke sighed, "I'm no-"
"DON'T TRY ANYTHING WITH ME PRETTY-BOY!!! I WON'T LET YOU GO WITH MY MONEY JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE SKINNY!!" the man roared, getting quite a mouthful of sand.
"Pretty-boy...?" the Uchiha boy twitched, his hand itching to wrap its selves around the man's neck. "Skinny...?" 'Oh this guy's asking for it...he's very lucky I'm not Itachi right now. But for once, I wish Itachi were here to beat the shit out of him.' Sasuke's hands twitched even more.
"So tell me, HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" the burly man demanded again, "Or else I won't give you the money!"
"I...didn't...know...!" Sasuke said slowly, "and I don't care abou-"
"I WANT AN ANSWER!!" the winds were picking up. Sasuke's whole body began to twitch, 'That b*tch is SO lucky that there's so much sand in the air. First of all, I don't want sand in my eyes. If I attack, I have to open my eyes wide, and sand will get into them. Second of all, WHY THE HELL IS HE DOING THIS?! Doesn't he KNOW that Itachi is a...how should I put this...an experienced killer? And it's not my fault he bet that much money! I mean, WHO THE HELL WOULD BET TEN THOUSAND YEN?!?!?!?! No one sane...I know that much...and that was his LIFE'S SAVINGS!!! Is he really that poor?' The chuunin's thoughts were interrupted when an especially hard gust of wind blew a handful of sand right into his face. Sputtering, Sasuke wiped the offending material off and pulled a grimace. The man also got a chunk of sand into his eyes and growled.
"I'm getting out of here," he hissed and turned to take off, but he was stopped by a hand grabbing the back of his cloak.
"You're not going anywhere until you give me that money," Sasuke said calmly. 'I might as well get that money. It'll be a waste if that idiot keeps it.'
"You're not getting anything from me," the man flicked Sasuke off. Bad idea. The man... erm...well, let's just say he found some... "bruises" in some... "places."
Once Sasuke finished letting out some of his "bottled up steam" (Lily: I think he's been holding tat for some time now...) he took the yen and went to find some shelter from the coming sandstorm. 'Hn, not bad. I got some information, and "earned" 66,837 yen. This is turning out to be interesting. Now I just have to avoid bumping into some people...' The fates weren't on his side, for he saw a distinctly familiar figure walking towards calling a distinctly familiar name in a distinctly familiar voice. The dark haired shinobi groaned. Could this day get any worse?
"Sora-chan!!! Oh, Sora-chan!!! Sora-chan?! Where are you?! SORA- CHAN!!!!" Naruto's irritating voice cut through the sheets and sheets of sand flying violently in the harsh wind. Sasuke wondered fleetingly if he should talk to the loud Chuunin or run away. He reluctantly chose the first option. Since when did he run away from NARUTO of all people?! Well, not counting his "girl form." Sighing and knowing he was going to regret this later, he approached the calling figure, walking slowly against the biting sand.
"Naruto?" the dark haired teen said, pretending to be surprised to see him, "What are you doing here?"
"SOR- hn???" Naruto froze in the middle of his callings, blinking at Sasuke. "...Wa...??"
"......"
"......"
"ITACHI?!?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!" Naruto suddenly shrieked above the howling winds. Sasuke gaped, shocked, and accidentally gained a mouthful of sand.
"W-w-w-what?" the shinobi sputtered, spitting out sand at the same time.
"YOU!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"What do you me-"
"HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE, ITACHI?!"
"I'm no-"
"And you have to apologize for what you did to Sora-chan that day. What did you do anyway?"
"What do you mean?"
"DON'T ACT INNOCENT!!! I WAS THERE!!! NO TELL ME!!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO SORA-CHAN THAT DAY!!!"
"But I'm not-"
"TELL ME!!!"
"I didn't do anything. And Sora is-"
"YOU KNOW WHERE SORA-CHAN IS?! TELL ME!!! WHERE IS SHE?!"
"I-"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER, ITACHI?!?! WHERE IS SHE?! IF YOU TOUCHED HER I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF!!!"
"I'M NOT-"
"SORA-CHAN DON'T WORRY!!! I WILL RESCUE YOU AS SOON AS THIS BUFFOON TELLS ME WHERE YOU ARE!!!"
"Buffoon?" "Itachi" glared at the orange clothed shinobi. 'Now I know how Itachi felt...Why can't anyone tell us apart? We don't look THAT much alike...do we?'
"YES BUFFOON!!! SPILL IT!!! WHERE'S SORA-CHAN!!!"
"LISTEN!! I'M NO-"
"YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU BUFFOON!!! TELL ME WHERE SORA-CHAN IS!! Or you'll face my wrath..." Naruto's voice dropped at an attempt to sound threatening. Unfortunately for him, it didn't sound that dangerous.
"SHUT UP FOR A SECOND!!!" the dark haired teen roared, blowing up. Naruto finally stopped rambling and blinked at "Itachi."
"Hn?"
"Ok, number one. I AM NOT ITACHI!!! CAN YOU NOT RECOGNIZE ME?! I AM UCHIHA SASUKE!!! SASUKE NOT ITACHI!!!" Sasuke's voice made the sandstorm winds sound like a whisper, "Number two, WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I AM ITACHI?! I DO NOT LOOK LIKE HIM AT ALL!!! NOTHINK ALIKE!!!"
"That's what you think," Naruto mumbled without thinking. (Lily: wat an empty headed idiot) He immediately shut up when he saw Sasuke's Sharingan glaring in his direction.
"And number three, ITACHI DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH SORA!!! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS THINK HE DID?!?!?!"
"Umm...I don't know..." Naruto thought carefully, "Wait a second...how do you know who Sora-chan is?" Sasuke froze, beads of sweat forming on his brow.
"Umm...er..." the teen had to think fast, "Kakashi told me. Now let's get out of this storm." He quickly changed the subject, turning and walking away hurriedly to a building. Naruto was still, blinking after Sasuke's disappearing form, before running after him.
"OI!! WAIT UP!! YOU AREN'T GONNA' JUST LEAVE ME HERE ARE YOU?!?!"
"That's not a bad idea."
"OI!!! WAIT UUUUP!!!"
OK EVERYONE!!!! THAT'S DA TENTH CHAPTER!!! Or was it da ninth... o I forgot. Anyway, this is Lily. I ACTUALLY WROTE MOST OF DIS CHAPTER!! I FEEL SO PROUD (Kodoku wrote the first page, up till the end of the second paragraph after the flashback) Ok, now u guys can help us. When should Naruto find out tat Sasuke is Sora????
