Chapter 10 Heartless
Megumi! "Stay away!" yelled Megumi with tears streaming down her cheeks. Megumi, I -I hate you Sasuke! Sasuke blinked his eyes open. Sasuke got up. He was sweating like crazy.
It has been one and a half years since Megumi left and this dream has been haunting him ever since. "What the Heck. I vowed to stop thinking about her! Kill Itachi! "Sasuke looked at his clock.12:30 am Sasuke grabbed his clothes and walked down the deserted streets of Konoha. He walked to a training area and started to train early.
Sakura walked into the battle tower to find Naruto eating some cup a noodle while Sasuke leaned on the wall. They were about to take the second part of the chunin exams. Sakura looked at Sasuke and blushed remembering the hug. "You ready?" asked Sakura as she walked over to the guys. Sasuke didn't move while Naruto said Hi with his mouth stuffed. Sakura sighed. "Since we won that compitition with Megumi I bet we can beat this!" thought Sakura.
"You ready to lose?" asked Ino walking over to them. Sakura smirked.
"We'll see," said Sakura.
Ino walked away. "The fighting will start in a second. "Oh, let's get a good view of our competition!" yelled Sakura as she grabbed the boys. Sasuke watched with no interest while Sakura and Naruto watched in eagerness. Sasuke heard footsteps in their direction and saw Kakashi-sensei. Kakashi-sensei came back a month after Megumi left. He was on a super long mission. "You ready guys," said Kakashi-sensei with a smile. "Whatever," muttered Sasuke. "Alright!" said Kakashi-sensei as he took out his book (eww gross!)"First fight, squad 45 and-" said the announcer. Squad 14!Sasuke looked up in disbelieve. There stood Megumi, Yoshi and Kage. Sasuke stared at Megumi. She looked more beautiful then ever. She wore the same clothes but she was more mature now. Kage was the same cute hunk (oh yeah!) while Yoshi was the same goofy guy. Sakura looked at Megumi and frowned. "Oh no," she thought. Naruto gasped and looked at Sasuke. Sasuke just looked away. "It's Megumi!" he yelled. Megumi could hear the yelling and looked at their direction. Megumi flinched and whispered to Kage who just answered quietly. Megumi looked at Sasuke, glared, then looked away.
"Oh it's Kage, the half jonin!" said Kakashi- sensei.
"What!" said Sasuke looking at Kakashi-sensei.
"Yeah, he's so good that he was granted the place of jonin but since he's 17 they made him half jonin and for him to stay with his squad," said Kakashi-sensei seeming impressed.
Kage stood there, cross armed. Sasuke grrrd. "You know that guy who you said was trying to kill her, well she beat him and now he's some where watching her," said Kakashi-sensei worriedly. Megumi walked into the arena. She was going against a girl with long green- hair. Sasuke watched with anticipation. GO! The girl jumped in the air and started to do hand signs. "Fire style!" she yelled as she blew fire at Megumi. When the smoke disappeared, the genin gasped. She was untouched. Megumi was covered in a wall of water. Megumi disappeared and appeared in the back of the girl. Megumi hit her neck, heading down. The green haired girl banged into the ground, unconcious. Megumi landed on the ground and walked back to her group. Sasuke noticed that Megumi seemed less perky and a little more sad.
Megumi walked out of the tower to sit on a tree. The tree was covered in dark blue flowers. Megumi picked one and stared at it. She stared to remember the time when Sasuke visited her when she had a fever. "Megumi!" yelled Sasuke up the tree. Megumi ignored him. Sasuke climbed up the tree and sat across from Megumi. Megumi looked away. Sasuke grrd. He grabbed Megumi and looked at her.
"Did you really mean what you said?" asked Sasuke softly.
Megumi glared at Sasuke.
"Yes," she replied hotly.
She slapped his hand away and left. Sasuke just watched her leave. "Forget her, kill Itachi!" thought Sasuke. The battles dragged on till it was Squad 14 and 7 on the second level.
