Chapter 9

Megumi's Pain

Megumi woke to find herself in a futon. She blushed and got up instantly. She looked around the room to see Sasuke sleeping near the window, against a wall. Megumi got a blanket and draped it over him. Megumi smiled and left the room. She walked down the hall past the garden to go to the hotsprings. She sighed and went under water. "Sasuke," she thought.

She walked through the garden looking at all the red, yellow, and orange leaves on her way to her room when suddenly she saw a boy in a tree with dark purple hair and a hooded T-shirt. He jumped down from the tree in front of Megumi. "Are you Megumi Kasagima?" he asked. "Y-Yes?" said Megumi. He pulled out a kunai. "Prepare to die!" he said as he charged. Megumi took out a shariken and let the kunai go through the hole. She did this rapidly not wanting to go on the offense. "Let me hit him!" said her inner self. Suddenly the boy was whipped to the other side of the garden. "I'll get you next time!" he said as he jumped over the wall. Megumi huffed and turned around. She saw Sakura walking towards her. Sakura slapped Megumi. Megumi froze. "I hate you, you were with Sasuke!" she said, tears trickling down her cheeks. Megumi looked up at Sakura and disappeared. Sasuke walked by to see Sakura crying. He walked over to Sakura. "Why are you crying?" he asked. "I can't believe you, You were with Megumi!" she yelled. Sasuke paused. "I want to be with you but I-" said Sakura as she rubbed her eyes. Megumi was behind a tree listening with her heart pounding. Sakura broke down. Sasuke looked at Sakura crying her eyes out. Suddenly Sasuke grabbed Sakura into a hug. Sakura froze. Megumi flinched and turned around so they couldn't see her. Sasuke let go and ran away. "What the HECK!" Why did I hug her, I have to kill Itachi

!"thought Sasuke.

Sakura fell on the ground and hugged herself. "Sasuke," she said with a faint smile. Sakura got up and walked away. Megumi slid down the tree, sitting. She clenched her chest and cringed. "What is this sharp pain in my chest?" she whispered. She started to cry. "Now you know why I must kill him," her inner self said.

Yuki-sensei watched Megumi walk through the garden. She jumped in front of Megumi. "Do you want to go to another village?" asked Yuki-sensei hugging Megumi. "I want to stay with Sasuke for as long as possible but this pain!" yelled Megumi as she dug her face into Yuki- Sensei. "Maybe it's not friendship you feel," said Yuki-sensei. Megumi gasped then closed her eyes. "This could be a problem," thought Yuki-sensei.

Kage grabbed his stuff and walked down the hall. " Wh-where are you going Kage?" asked Hinata. "Squad 14 is leaving Konoha," he said. Hinata gasped. Hinata pelted to Sasuke's room.

"Sasuke!" she yelled. "What," he said. "Megumi, Kage, and Yoshi are leaving," said Hinata sadly. Sasuke twitched and jumped out the window while Hinata followed.

"Megumi!" yelled Sasuke while he spotted them leaving. Megumi turned around to glare at Sasuke. Sasuke flinched, never seeing a glare from Megumi at him. "Megumi where are you going?" he asked. Sasuke slowly walked towards her but Kage intercepted. "Stay back," said Kage demandingly." Go you guys, I'll catch up," said Megumi. Kage, Yoshi, and Yuki-sensei walked away. Hinata watched. Naruto came running with the rest of the gang. Sasami walked over to Megumi passed Sasuke. "Why are you going, what about Sasuke?" she said. Megumi looked away. Sasami understood and stepped back. "I'll see you at the village," said Sasami as she walked away. Hinata watched while Sakura watched in bewilderment. "Come on Hinata," said Naruto as he walked away with Hinata. Megumi looked at Sasuke and stared. Sasuke ran over to Megumi and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Why are you going?" said Sasuke demandingly. Sasuke stared into her eyes. They were blank with sadness. Megumi looked away. "I want to know!" said Sasuke shaking Megumi. "I hate you!" said Megumi with tears streaming down her cheeks. Sasuke froze. Megumi walked away. Sasuke watched her with a blank face. I hate you, I hate...

Sorry about the mistakes if you find any. I had to do it fast. I took the advice about Sasuke's personality and it's kind of hard to do.

Sasuke: What the heck is with the feelings, it's disgusting!

Me: Hey Sasuke, it's not like you like Sakura.

Sasuke: You say that again and I pull your head off!

Sakura: NOOOOOOOOO!

Megumi: Maybe I should leave…
