Chapter 12
Everyone's Feelings
Megumi woke up and stared in front of her. Megumi squinted. She looked at a picture she hid under a cupboard. She glared until there was a knocking at the door. She slid it under the cupboard and opened the door. "It's practice," said Yoshi as he smiled. Megumi showed a weak smile.
Sasuke concentrate! Sasuke dodged a kunai while Sakura jumped in the air. Naruto jumped in the air as well and pushed Sakura. "Ahh!" yelled Sakura as she fell on Sasuke. Sasuke fell on the ground, face down. "That frickin dobe!" thought Sasuke, grrring at Naruto. "I'm so sorry Sasuke!" yelled Sakura while she checked his face. He helled her hand from touching his face and got up. "I'm fine," he said brushing the dust from his clothes. "Well we have two weeks to make sure you beat Megumi, Sakura!" said Kakashi-sensei sternly. "I can't beat her," thought Sakura pouting. "Okay, let's go get ramen!" yelled Naruto. Naruto entered the ramen shop and there sat Yuki-sensei. Kakashi gasped. "It's been a while Kakashi," she said with a warm smile. Kakashi went and sat next to her. "That's weird," said Naruto. "I heard they used to date but they separated when they became jonin," said Sakura interested. Suddenly Yoshi walked in. "What's up!" he said with a toothy smile. "Oh, Hi man!" yelled Naruto as he clapped hands with Yoshi. "How's it going?" asked Yoshi ordering some ramen. "Oh, Sasuke moody and Sakura been prettier then ever," said Naruto as he stared at Sakura, blushing. You? "Oh, well it seems like Kage's fine but Megumi hasn't shown a really happy smile for like forever and that's unusual," said Yoshi leaning on his hand. Sasuke looked down when he heard this and Yoshi noticed. "Hey Sasuke, can I talk to you?" Yoshi asked. Yoshi and Sasuke went on the roof. "Sasuke, Megumi's been really depressed since the hot springs you know why?" asked Yoshi being serious. "I have no idea," said Sasuke looking down. Sakura listened in on the conversation. "Did she see the hug?" thought Sakura worriedly. "Come out Sakura!" yelled Yoshi. Sakura jumped. Sasuke turned surprised. Sakura climbed onto the roof. Sakura gulped while Sasuke glared. "Sakura did anything happen?" asked Yoshi staring into Sakura's eyes. "We-well when Sasuke and I we-were in the garden, well we hugged but-!" Sakura stopped when she saw Sasuke expression. "Megumi!" thought Sasuke.
Megumi walked through the forest. "Megumi, let go!" said herinner self. "Forget him!" she yelled. Megumi grrd. "There's an big amount of chakra about ten miles heading our direction," said her inner self. There was a figure in front of her about 5 feet. "Itachi," said Megumi as she squinted her eyes. "Megumi, you've gotten prettier!" he said with a smirk. "I told you, I don't feel for you, you covered me for no reaso-," Megumi was stopped when Itachi was right in front of her. "I did because I wanted to," he said while he lifted her chin. "NO!" she yelled as she ran away. Itachi just smirked.
"Megumi did you see that!" thought Sasuke. "But it doesn't matter since Sasuke and I are well," said Sakura as she blushed. Sasuke ran away. "Sasuke, you idiot," whispered Yoshi while he watched Sasuke run away. When you gave me that bunch of flowers I cherished it. I wouldn't let anybody touch it, I cleaned it and everything. When it died I was depressed, really depressed. You were the only person that looked at me like I was a person. All the girls liked my looks, the boys hated me practically, and my family was always so protective, making sure the clan would keep going. "Megumi, you were the only person who actually look at me and smile like a friend," whispered as he searched for Megumi. Sasuke found Megumi in a tree panting. "M-Megumi," he said since he was panting too. "What do you want?" asked Megumi. "Megumi did you see it?" asked Sasuke. Megumi flinched. "When I hugged Sakura," said Sasuke as he got closer to Megumi. Megumi looked up at Sasuke and glared. "Yes," she said quietly. Sasuke reached his hand out to touch Megumi's cheek but Megumi moved back. "No, Sasuke!" yelled Megumi. Her inner self looked at her sympathetically. "Do you know how much pain I went through?" yelled Megumi while some tears trickled down her cheek. Sasuke twitched. "This pain in my chest, I had to endure it when I didn't even know what it was!" yelled Megumi. Sasuke stared at Megumi. "It's over Sasuke, I can't take this pain!" yelled Megumi while she held back her tears. "This friendship or whatever it is, It's over!" said Megumi as she couldn't hold back her tears. "I hate you Sasuke. I only came because of the Jonin exams but I don't care I just want to be away from you!" yelled Megumi as she ran away. Sasuke froze. He couln't move, the words were painful. For once in his life some words pierced him…
