Sasuke: Stop saying that. You're giving me a headache.

Me: -moth agape cause hes still alive- Why don't you stay dead?

Sasuke:I can't die. I'm an avenger.

Me: Oh kami not the avenger speech.

Sasuke: My brother killed my whole clan, leaving me alone so I –

Me: La! La! La! La! I can't hear you! Deedeedaaaa!

Hinata was laughing out loud. Khristo's reaction to the spider was nothing short of funny. He had screamed in terror and running around like a madman, banging his head on every tree he saw yelling, "Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!" And it wasn't 'til he knocked himself out silly that the spider decided, 'Time to go.' He got up slowly, his eyees still having the dizzy mark on them. He shook his head, clearing his senses to normal. "Ugh. Blasted demon spawn." Hinata giggled. Khristo smiled, 'She's cute when she laughs' But he quickly tried to trhink of something else. "Well, Hinata I think you've got the technique down. Why don't you try it now?" Hinata nodded and bowed. "Hai." And took her stance. Concentrating, letting out a deep sigh and then the strike, "Secret technique: Highwind Palm!" she yelled The force of the strike in the air pushed a tree 10 ft. Hinata was silent at first but then let out a big cheer. Khristo should've been happy but couldn't help but feel gloomy and depressed. Seeing his mood Hinata came up to him while he was muttering under his breath. "Khristo-kun? What is the matter?" Khristo sulked for two more minutes then replied, "It took me two years to master that technique." Hinata bowed her head "So Sorry!" But Khristo waved her off. "No need to be sorry. You're just that awesome I guess." Hinata blushed at the compliment. Khristo got up to his feet. "Well why don't we have the rest of the day off? You have been at it for so long. You deserve the rest" Hinata nodded and Khristo smiled at her warmly. Then he bound off towards the town square.'Man, I'm hungry. I should get something to eat.' And checked out various food stands. There was a Ramen stand that Khristo saw but shuddered at the memory of his last encounter with Ramen and continued on. He was about to give up hope on food. There was nothing he liked. Then he saw a light and salvation. Khristo had a stream of tears coming from both his eyes. "It's so beautiful." It was a bar-b-q stand that sold strawberry chicken and Pocky boxes. Rushing to it he sat down and ordered a plate of strawberry chicken and a box of Pocky. And the order was almost in his hands but was swiped right in front of him and gobbled all up by a tubby boy. Khristo sat there silently staring at his plate which had once been filled. The owner sighed. "Chouji, How many times have I told you not to steal other peoples food? Even if you are a Chuunin." Khristo was still staring at his plate, his knuckles white from griping the chopsticks tightly. A dark aura surrounded him. Chouji looked at his latest victim. Wondering why he was so quiet. He just decided he must be a pushover. "Hey you, order me another plate! Hahaha!"

"That's it…." Khristo muttered. His aura got darker and he grinned manically. "Kill..fat boy..kill…avenge food." Chouji hmphed, "What cha gonna do about it? I'm a ninja! So don't mess with me!" Faster than he could blink Khristo hit him in the gut with his fist, Chouji doubled over but Khristo didn't let him go down. Palm strike to the face, another to his chest, another to his face and then a powerful roundhouse kick that sent him flying through the wall. People screamed at the bloddy mess Chouji was. He was seriously screwed over. Khristo stood over him and grabbed him by the collar, and hissed to his face. "Touch my Pocky again and I will kill you." Chouji could only utter a gurgle as his whole body was broken and useless. Reality came back to Khristo, he shrugged his shoulders and walked back inside. "Yosh! Can I get another order?" The owner nodded furiously. He served it up and watched as the boy just ate in contentment. When he was finished, he took out his wallet. "How much for the meal?" The owner shook his head, "On the House buddy." Khristo smiled at this but noticed the hole he made. "Uhh can I at least pay for the wall?" the owner was about to say it was okay but a little help would be appreciated. "Sure, if you want." Khristo paid and bounded off. But as Khristo bounded off he accidentally bumped into someone. And they fell in a heap. Khristo looked up into blue eyes. And stayed like that until she screamed "Naruto, get off me!" and hit him on the head…hard. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Khristo muttered. And looked at his assailant. Blonde hair and blue eyes, and he gave his heart a kiss goodbye.

Sakura stomped through the town. All who saw her steered clear, giving her a wide berth. 'Damn that Sasuke! Why can't he leave well enough alone?'

Flashback

"Sakura, we need to talk." Sasuke stated cooly. Sakura really didn't want to talk to him right now but she knew the Uchiha wouldn't give up. "What Sasuke?" He frowned, "What? No Sasuke-kun? Listen ever since..that thing..you've been avoiding me. I've been trying to apologize but you either walk away or hide behind that pest."

"That's because I was scared of you then Sasuke! You never showed that kind of emotion before and…Khristo was there. I didn't know him but he still stood between you and me. I don't know why he did it, and I probably never will but when he held me, my fear disappeared. But my feelings for you didn't. But then they just disappeared as well, leaving me with nothing. I don't know what I feel! If anything !"

Sasuke stepped back, he wasn't expecting that kind of speech. 'She must've thought about this the whole time' But he stepped forward again, "Sakura…" and pulled her into his arms. Needless to say she was shocked. "Sakura..you may not understand why I do the things I do or why I act that way but I never meant to harm you. So please forgive me.' Sakura was silent for awhile. And she pushed herself out of his hug slowly and she laughed. Sasuke was in shock. 'what was she laughing at?' She stopped laughing and sighed, "It's funny, I used to dream about bieng in your arms that way but now they just don't feel right to me. There's no warmth, just coldness." And she turned away and before she left she said to him, "I will forgive you someday Sasuke." Sasuke fumed outwardly. "Sakura!' he yelled to her back. "Don't walk away from me! Sakura!" She didn't listen. "Khristo! I will kill you if it's the last thing I do!"

End Flashback

Sakura sighed. She couldn't figure out why any of this was Khristo's fault. In fact all he did was help her. Was that so wrong? Sakura fumed more violently as she muttered, "Stupid flashback."
