Dun dun duuuuun!

Sakura: Come on! I can't scream Sasuke-kun forever you know!

Naruto: I'll go get some ramen!

Sasuke: Baka…

Blitz: Quiet all of you! The story must go on!

--------------------------

The dust was clearing from the rocks, everyone nervous to see what had happened. Kitai was standing in a defensive stance to be sure there wouldn't be any unexpected attacks.

No way he could be trapped in the prison without getting pissed off at me, Kitai thought.

All of a sudden, she heard a tak out of nowhere. Her eyes had changed from the soft kind brown to the horrifying white.

Feel the vibration… the noise where it came from and when the dust will clear out. That's when I'll strike, the sudden excitement in his blood to perform a jutsu, that's when-

Her thoughts stopped short by hearing more sounds of taks on the ground. She took out 7 kunai, this time 3 with talismans on them. She threw them in an uppercut sort of way and heard all of them fall to the ground.

"Gaton: Goukakyuu no jutsu!" Sasuke shouted.

In an electrifying effect, Kitai felt the fire getting closer and closer. She suddenly put her hands in front of her. Fwip fwip fwip.

Dog, horse, ox, ram, rat, tiger!

"Absolute no jutsu!" she shouted just in time.

She placed her hands on the ground and suddenly, a miraculous barrier of ice and perhaps crystal had appeared in front of her.

But it was no use, Sasuke's jutsu had melted the wall and Kitai was helpless. She got up suddenly feeling weak.

No chakra. That earth jutsu took it all out of me. But if I don't get out, I'll die. Get up Kitai, now! Now! NOW!

She ran out in jus the nick of time unfortunately getting her leg stuck in the fire. She screamed out a shriek of pain.

Sasuke had stopped breathing the fire before his chakra would run out. Sakura ran over to Kitai and kneeled. She took out a tiny case and opened it, took a small dab and rubbed it on her leg.

Naruto ran over to Kitai and Kakashi walked casually.

"Kitai-chan! Kitai-chan! Daijobou!" Naruto yelled running to her.

"Kitai, we should get you into town and let the Hokage look at that leg." Kakashi-sensei said.

"Hold still, I still need to get some bandages on you." Sakura said suddenly about to be left out. "You shouldn't have offered to fight Sasuke-kun in the first place Kitai-chan!"

Kitai got up squinting and almost fell down because of her leg. "Hmm… Your leg must be in pain, eh Kitai? Well I have a surprise for all of you." Kakashi said with a smile under his mask.

"Ramen at Ichiraku! On me!"

"Really! Does this mean I get to eat more than 5 bowls! Iruka-sensei never lets me do that but you'll be the best sensei ever to do that!" Naruto shouted.

"Baka! This is to celebrate Kitai-chan's arrival!" Sakura yelled at Naruto giving him an additional beating.

Kitai felt weak and made her eyes return to normal. Sasuke walked over and faced Kitai.

He stuck out his hand innocently, looking away. "G-Gomen." He said quietly.

She grabbed his hand rising up like the wind, he finally looked at her. They were now face to face, eye to eye.

"Now, now! What have we got ourselves here? Sasuke and Kitai having a little staring contest? Or is it just love I can sense?" Naruto shouted with mockery.

Sasuke and Sakura both beat Naruto for blabbering nonsense. "One more word Naruto and I'll make you a human PUNCHBAG!" Sakura shouted with her temper getting high.

"To Ichiraku before it closes!" Kakashi said.

At Ichiraku, both Kakashi and Naruto were eating at fast paces while Sakura and Sasuke were just starting to eat.

"Itadakimasu!"

Miso… miso…MISO! Note to self: Never let Naruto order for you no matter how much of a ramen expert he is.

She twirled some ramen around her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Sasuke started to stare at her confused. She turned green, pink, red, and then green again.

"Anou… May I be excused?" Kitai choked.

She ran to the bathroom and Sasuke and Sakura looked Naruto.

"What did I do! I didn't know she would get sick eating miso ramen…" Naruto said.

The day ended when the team went home after the ramen was paid for by Kakashi (and Naruto too).

"I'll be looking forward to a better match than that one." Sasuke smirked.

Kitai looked at Sasuke in awe.

What are you thinking…? Let me get into your mind, just once. Just once and that's everything I'll ever ask for. Sasuke, what am I to you now!

Kitai and Sasuke parted and Kitai spent the whole night wondering what Sasuke was up to.

Blitz: I don't like this chapter. This is why 2 is the worst number in history.

Sakura: Include me more!

Sasuke: Eh.

Naruto: That ramen was good! Miso is my favorite!

Kitai: -Turns green-

Blitz: Next chapter! More hints revealed between Sasuke and Kitai!
