MNAFx100: Yay! Chapter 5, Chapter 5!

The all famous disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!

Chapter 4 Reveiw:

" I said, I want to be stronger than you." He said again. Tsubaki just snorted, "Yeah, okay dunce."

The others couldn't help but laugh, except for Sasuke, that is. He was feeling uneasy about Tsubaki.

Just before he passed out, he heard his brother whisper his sister's name, and he heard Yukima claim to be her.

Chapter 5: A little rabbit.

Tsubaki sensed Sasuke's uneasiness. " Hey, Sasuke..." she started

" Yes?" he replied,

" I need to talk to you." She said. She couldn't take it anymore. She had to tell him the truth. It was eating away at her not to tell Kakashi, but it was killing her not to just blurt it out to Sasuke. He had to know. She led him away from the group, into another little clearing that was out of the other's hearing.

" I can feel your uneasiness... I know what is on your mind." she started

" Really? Then what am I thinking?" he asked sarcastically

" Look, this hard for me. If the Hokage finds out i'm blowin' my cover, she'll freak! So if you wanna be an ass, I won't tell you." she said

" Ok, ok. Sorry." he apologized

" I think you already know this because of fucking Itatchi, but my name isn't really Yukima." she said with a twinge of guilt in her voice

" I knew it! I heard Itatchi whisper your real name... but I thought you died!" he said

" Huh? I didn't d..." Tsubaki said, but didn't finish. She was having a little trip down memory lane.

Flashback

Tsubaki walked back into a small clan's village that looked like a graveyard. Shuriken everywhere, dead bodies sprawled on the ground. The owner of the food store, the employee at the book store, everyone was dead.

" Mother... Father..." Tsubaki muttered with fear in her quivering voice. She ran as fast as she could, dropping seashells that she collected on the way.

When she got home, she heard her father snoring, and a katana being drawn.

" FATHER!" she screamed as she opened the door to witness Itatchi about to kill their parents. Itatchi took notice of her right away and went in to attack her. She noticed how he held his eyes. They were the eyes of a murderer.

" You killed the villagers... didn't you..." she asked. He only smirked and went to attack Tsubaki again. She dodged again, but just barely. She heard running and yelling. It was Sasuke. He was yelling frantically for their parents and herself. Tsubaki wasn't paying attention... Itatchi slashed at her... Sasuke turned the corner.

A searing pain was in Tsubaki's right shoulder. Everything went white and the last thing she saw was Sasuke crying. He said something... but she couldn't hear him, due to her passing out.

End Flashback

" Damn..." she said, " To you at that age, your first thought must have been that I had died... now I see where you have your point."

" I'm just glad your ok. My mind said you were dead, but my senses kept saying you were watching me." Sasuke said

" I was... you were sulking way too much for your own good. The Hokage made me promise him that I wouldn't come out to you. So I traveled to the other lands to get stronger than Itatchi. Even I, have my own plans for revenge." she explained.

Just then a little white rabbit hopped past them. It kept leaving it's little foot-prints in the fresh snow. It was shaking.

" Aww... the poor thing... it must be so cold out here." Tsubaki said quietly to herself as she went over to it and picked it up. Naruto and the others appeared in the trees.

" Aww... its so cute!" Sakura said while running over. " Can I hold it?" she askedInner Sakura: Burn It! Burn It! Its fuzzy! Its cute! Damn it! IT NEEDS TO BURN IN HELL! DAMN THING AND ITS FUCKING FUZZINESS! .

" Sure." Tsubaki smiled. She gave the little rabbit to Sakura.

"Ahh! Its looks like that rabbit Zabuza used to lure us!" he said as he got a shuriken out.

" Naruto, the rabbit Zabuza was only a part time Snow Hare. This rabbit isn't meant for the snow. Its just white..." Kakashi explained.

" What if it's a ninja using a transformation jutsu!" Naruto complained as he was about to strike the little rabbit.

" Na..." Sakura tried to yell, but Tsubaki stepped in front of her.

" Naruto... you touch this rabbit with that shuriken, and your head will be on a silver platter." she threatened, her eyes held flames ithin them. Everyone gulped (including inner sakura).

" Thanks, Yukima." Sakura whispered Inner Sakura: Damn... not even I'm that mean... I don't want to run into her in a dark alley...

" Ok, shall we continue, or stop at a cave until this snow stops." Tsubaki asked.

" It's not sn..." Kakashi said, but was cut off when it started to snow again. " ... ok... I think we'll stop at the cave."

" Good decision." Tsubaki laughed. Sasuke could tell that she liked Kakashi.

The cave was nice, for a cave. It was dry. Kakashi started a fire while the kids started setting up the sleeping bags. Tsubaki was taking care of the rabbit, which she decided to call Hayabusa (conveinent, yes?).

" You really like that rabbit, don't you?" Sakura asked

" I have a soft spot for animals... I have always had a soft spot, more than one." Tsubaki said.

" Like what?" she asked while taking a seat next to Tsubaki.

" Oh lets see... animals, my friends, family... crying most of all... I can't stand the sight of tears." she admitted

" I hate it, too. The sight of tears, it just tears you up inside..." Sakura said

" I think I know what another soft spot of yours is..." Tsubaki said slyly.

" Like what..." she said, fearing the answer.

" Sasuke." Tsubaki whispered in Sakura's ear. Sakura freaked.

" IS IT THAT OBVIOUS!" Tsubaki just gave her a nod. Sakura got up and hit her head. Tsubaki was trying not to laugh. Sasuke had an uncertain look on his face ( like in episode 5, after Sakura passed out when she saw only Sasuke's head sticking out of the ground). Kakashi just shook his head and continued tending the fire. Naruto didn't know what to think.

Later, they all fell asleep. Tsubaki stayed up, watching over them all as they slumbered. She couldn't stop herself from chuckling a bit. The rabbit was asleep in her arms. She fell asleep quickly, hoping to enter a dream.

Instead, she entered a nightmare that had come true in her past... and Kakashi's past.
