...17.Um…just another chapter…...
Kana stood looking up at the crescent moon above her for a while. She walked weakly towards the forest, she checked if Itachi had left for sure, and went back to where Sasuke was. He was still unconscious. She tried to contact him with her mind, he stirred and awoke. She looked at him, there was guilt in her eyes.
"Are you ok?" She asked softly.
"Yea…yeah…"he said, "what happened?" He said, apparently the last kick had made him a little foggy, then he remembered. "Are you ok? Itachi was here, and…and…he…" Sasuke stopped, not wanting to believe he stole her first kiss.
"Don't worry, just close your eyes, it will be better."
She touched his forehead and a tear rolled down her cheek as he closed his eyes in a deep sleep. Her hand glowed, and she removed her hand. All his memory and emotion of the past two hours flowed through her mind and through her head. She returned the part of where they where walking and replaced the part where they met Itachi with a memory of then walking thru the forest and talking. A plain image of her face smiling, and joy from him. She added a memory of him asking her to say at his house too.
Kana's pov
She picked him up and took him to his house. Set him on the bed, and sat by him the whole night. She fell asleep sitting there. When she woke up Sasuke was still asleep. She took out the shell Neji had given her, and wondered if she was really a good person. (A/N: not to mention sanewink) If she was worth everything she has. She lived off of deception. She used other people to her advantage. What kind of a person was she. She started to walk toward the mountains. But I promised Itachi... She stopped and walked back.
It was like her dream again. Only this time Sasuke was on the bed. She watched him like a protective mother bear. She sat back down, and watched his slow breathing. Then she started braiding her hair, something she had never done before.
She heard something, someone coming. She ran to the door, it was Sakura.
"Someone said that they heard a fight in the forest. When they got out, a dark figure was walking away from the Hokage monuments. I was wondering if you where ok, since where out last night." Sakura said. It's probably best that she didn't know.
"Really? That's odd. Must have been his imagination, we didn't see anything. In fact we where back by six." She said.
Sasuke had woken up. He came to the door.
"Hi Sakura" He said.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"Why wouldn't I be?" He asked worried.
"Never mind." She said
"Ok. Do you want to come with us to the forest?"
"No."
"Yes" Kana and Sasuke said simultaneously. They might see where Itachi came; I forgot to remove the Kuni.
"Why not?" Sasuke asked confused.
"I just don't think we should…" She said trying to think of a reasonable reason.
"Ok, where should we go then?" Sakura asked.
"Did you braid your hair? It looks different." Sasuke commented.
"Yes, I did. I think we should go to the forest actually and meet Kakashi where we usually do. Something's telling me that he's there." Kana said. As they walked, Kana stood protectively by Sasuke.
