Chapter 7

Kotori!

Yumi slowly got out of the water and squeezed the water out of her hair and tied her kimono to the side. Sasuke had gotten out of the water a while ago and just watched. "Well that was pointless," said Sasuke with a grunt. "Yeah, but it was fun," said Yumi as she padded away home. Sasuke walked her home. "Sasuke, I know how you feel," said Yumi. "I'm the only member of my clan too," she said quietly. Sasuke stared at her. "But it's okay, I fought back and tried to help and you know what? I killed one of the attackers," she said as the smiled. Sasuke looked down at the dirt ground. They walked silently to the tree. "You know that you can stay at my place instead of this tree," said Sasuke as he blushed. "Thanks! Maybe after tomorrow," said Yumi. I'm waiting for someone. Sasuke nodded and walked away.

The next day Sasuke walked to the ramen stand to see Sakura glaring and Naruto eating ramen. "You like Yumi!" she yelled as the whole shop fell silent. "What the heck! No I don't," said Sasuke as he blushed. "Yes you do-" Sakura stopped when Yumi came in. "What up?" said Yumi as she flicked her hair. A girl with short green hair walked in. "This is Kotori. She's a friend from my village," said Yumi as Kotori waved. "Hi," she said. Naruto blushed. "She's hot!" thought Naruto. "Sasuke can I talk with you outside?" asked Yumi. "About the offer, can Kotori stay too?" said Yumi as she pleaded. "Whatever," he said. "Oh yeah," said Yumi as she high-fived Kotori. "Thank you Sasuke Uchiha," said Kotori.

That night Yumi jumped onto her bed and sighed. "It's been ages since I slept in a real bed!" she yelled. There was a knock on the door and Yumi got up to answer it. It was Kotori. "I just wanted to tell you that my room is the last one down the hall. "Night," said Kotori as she ran back to her room. "I better change into pj's, wait I don't have pj's," thought Yumi. Yumi just took of the armor, pants, and gloves to find a long white shirt with a chinese collar. Yumi walked down the hall to Sasuke's room. "Sasuke?" asked Yumi as she knocked the door. Sasuke appeared wet with only pants on. Yumi blushed and turned around and nose bled. "Put some proper clothes on!" yelled Yumi.

Two minutes later Yumi walked into Sasuke's room to find Sasuke lying on his bed. "What do you want," he said. His room was a plain room with a window, closet, bathroom, and bed. "I was just going to say goodnight," she said as she closed the curtains of the window. "Good night," said Yumi but she realized that Sasuke was asleep. "Good night Sasuke," whispered Yumi as she patted Sasuke's head. Suddenly Sasuke grabbed Yumi into a tight hug. "What?" thought Yumi.
