Disclaimer- don't own Naruto. -cries-
Audience- o.0 whispers among themselves she does this everytime...

Er, anyway, on to the story…


Hikari opened her eyes, the bright sunlight shining on her face. She sat up and when she saw the Uchiha house through her window she blushed as she remembered the previous night's events. She pressed her fingers to her lips, reminiscing about Sasuke's lips. They had been firm, dry, warm, and sweet tasting. Stretching, she sat up and shrieked; Sasuke's face was mere inches from hers.

"Hn. Sorry Hikari-chan." Sasuke's cheeks turned crimson as he apologized. Hikari looked amazed.

Wow…Sakura told me that Sasuke was, well, cold and unfeeling. I wonder if I opened his feelings up… kind of a creepy thought.

"Are you ready to go already?" Hikari asked, getting up and walking over to her dresser. Sasuke nodded silently and leaned against her wall, watching her brush her silky, beautiful hair. Slowly, Hikari began to sing as she worked out the tangles in her hair.

Walk Through The Rain

Each footstep falls, acknowledging your hurt, your pain

Take my life, my soul, my heart

Please love me cuz we can't be apart

Step follows step

And hope follows courage

Set your eyes on danger

Your heart on victory

Victory comes to chase the rain away

"Like it? That was the chorus." Hikari smiled, standing up, and placed her small hand on Sasuke's cheek. He looked stunned.

"My…mother used to sing thatto me when I was little." Sasuke looked amazed, but then he looked down, remembering his family before accursed Itachi ruined his life. (Me: to Itachi fans, sorry, but it had to be said)

"I'll meet you in front of the yard in a little bit, ok Sasuke?" Hikari's voice broke through Sasuke's daydream. He nodded and jumped back out the window.

Sighing, Hikari closed it and headed towards the bathroom.

Can't he just use the door like a normal person?

Later…

"HI-YA!" Hikari cried, slicing at the tree. Kakashi-sensei wanted them to practice chakra attacks, but didn't want them to kill each other, so he made them use the tree. Hikari found herself remembering similar training exercises that she used to do with her old team.

Flashback

"HI-YA!" a much younger Hikari cried, slicing at the tree. She stopped, exhausted and panting.

"Hey, you can't be getting tired yet, can you?" A red haired boy teased her, smirking. A tattoo on his forehead drew your eyes to his handsome face, and his bright red hair made you grin with delight.

"Aww Gaara, I'm just getting started!" Hikari retorted, playfully hitting the boy's shoulder.

"Come on now, Gaara, Hikari, you need to practice." A tall man with dark hair and a white starburst gestured to the already mangled tree. (Me; starburst.. like Hiei's from YYH!)

"Hmph, they aren't going to get any better, Johori-sensei." A boy with long, dark hair glowered loathingly at Gaara and Hikari. He frowned at them and his sensei as he sat on the ground, leaning against a tree trunk.

"Shoji-kun…" Hikari reached out to help Shoji up, but Shoji suddenly stood up andpunched her cheek, and a red mark instantly glared across her pale skin, making her cry out in pain. Gaara instantly ran to her, and death-glared at Shoji.

"NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU TOUCH MY KONOICHI-CHAN!" Gaara bellowed, shielding Hikari with his body, who was sobbing. She looked at Shoji with pure pain in her eyes, and suddenly, the smooth, pretty gray color became a glaring white, and three shockingly blue commas began swirling in them. She looked at Shoji, the pain becoming hatred.

"Leave." Hikari did not yell, but the intensity of her voice made even Johori-sensei flinch. Gaara stared with disbelief at his quiet, gentle, even shy friend, but Hikari advanced threateningly towards Shoji. Shoji stayed in his place defiantly, but it was obvious he was scared. Suddenly, a dark fog enveloped him, and he disappeared. Hikari, worn from training and the sudden appearance of her unique Sharingan, passed out into Gaara's arms, leaving a very confused and concerned Johori-sensei and Gaara

End of Flashback

"Yo, Hikari, wake up," Sasuke said, waving a hand in front of her face. Hikari blinked, and grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry," she apologized. Sakura smiled at her kindly.

"Don't worry about it. Kakashi-sensei wants us to play hide-and-seek on teams. He is hiding, and it is a race to see who finds us first. Do you want to do boys against girls?" Sakura asked, apparently concerned about Hikari's 'space-out'. Hikari glanced at Sasuke, who was patiently tolerating Naruto's random, annoying ramblings, then turned back to Sakura with an evil grin on her face.

"Most definitely, because Sasuke loves to listen to Naruto talk." Hikari said this loud enough for both boys to hear. Sasuke deadpanned.

"WHAT?" he screeched, very un-Sasuke like. Naruto, being Naruto, took her seriously.

"Really, Sasuke-san? OK let's go then!" and Naruto grabbed Sasuke's wrist and dragged him off into the woods. Sasuke threw a desperate glance over his shoulder at the girls, but Sakura just giggled and Hikari waved, smirking at Sasuke. Sakura looked at Hikari.

"Let's go!" Hikari nodded and the two girls bounded off into the forest.

Kakashi POV

Kakashi smirked under his mask; he had found the perfect hiding spot. It was a platform deep in the forest. The top was completely overrun with vines, leaves, roots, and who knows what. The rest was huge, unmovable boulders, clumps of moss, and thick, ancient trees. But surprisingly, the place where Kakashi was sitting was untouched by dirt, erosion, or even dust. It was a stone platform, and it was quite large. In the center was a white circle, which showed up clearly against the dark gray rock. Inside the circle were three blue comma shaped objects that formed a triangular shape. In the very center was a dent, which Kakashi was sitting in. Sighing, he took out his Icha Icha Paradise book and began to read.

Sakura and Hikari POV

"So Hikari, where do you think Kakashi-sensei is?" Sakura panted, bounding from tree to tree. Hikari shrugged.

"I'm not really sure Sakura," Hikari said coldly. "I mean, that is the whole point of the exercise, us not knowing where he is, right?" Sakura looked taken aback at Hikari's rudeness; she had seemed so nice and easy-going with Sasuke, and normally, if you could be like that with the Uchiha Sasuke, world-renown heartless boy, you could be friendly with almost anyone else.

"Um, Hikari? Are you okay?" Sakura asked, concerned, and to her surprise, Hikari stopped.

"Do you like him?" she asked abruptly. Sakura blinked.

"Excuse me?"

"DO YOU LIKE HIM?" Hikari repeated, glaring at Sakura.

"Uh, who?" Sakura asked nervously. Hikari was scary when angry. Hikari sighed exasperatedly.

"Do. You. Like. Sasuke. Uchiha." Hikari said slowly and lethally. Sakura blushed and looked at her feet.

"Is it really that obvious?" she asked shyly, not noticing the death-glare on Hikari's face. Then, Sakura realized it was quiet. Too quiet. She looked up to see Hikari's face ghostly white, her eyes glowing white with blue commas, and her fists clenched and shaking.

"Stay. Away. From. My. Sasuke. Kun." Hikari growled menacingly. Sakura snorted.

"Yea right. Sasuke-kun is mine," Sakura retorted, not seeing quite how serious Hikari was. But suddenly, Hikari reverted back to normal, and smiled sweetly at Sakura.

"You're right, Sasuke-kun may be yours, but I'm his," she said, smiling. Sakura froze.

"W-what?"

"That's right. He kissed me. I am his." Sakura looked pale, angry, and hurt.

"H-how d-dare YOU!" Sakura exploded, her voice getting louder and angrier with each word. Hikari shrugged and smiled, which made Sakura even madder. She flitted away, leaving Hikari leaning against the massive tree trunk, watching the pink haired konoichi run away, sobbing.

Sasuke and Naruto POV

"YOU KISSED HER!" Naruto howled with laughter. Sasuke blushed crimson red.

"Shut up baka! She'll hear you!" Sasuke glanced nervously at Hikari, but it was too late. She was looking directly at him, cracking up. Sasuke blushed even redder, if that's possible. (Me: aww… Sasuke-kun is so cute when he blushes :P) Naruto was still laughing.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU KISSED HER AND DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING!" he cried, now laughing so hard, tears glittered at the corners of his eyes. "Oh man, wait'll I tell Shika, Neji, and the others!" the Uchiha growled.

"Don't you dare say anything, not even to Sakura or Kakashi," he threatened the blonde boy, who suddenly stopped laughing.

"Hey, what about Sakura? Doesn't she um, like you?" Naruto asked, getting quieter with each word. Sasuke shrugged, embarrassed, but Hikari answered.

"Yes. Sakura likes him." She glared off in the direction of where Sakura had run.

"Oh…" Naruto looked crushed. "I…guess I'll be going then." He bounded away and disappeared. Sasuke looked relieved to see him go.

"You know, he really did talk my ear off." Sasuke smirked at Hikari and grabbed her hand. "Let's go."
