I wanted to do something different for this chapter, partly because I had terrible writes block over the past few weeks, partly because I wanted to give everyone a better insight into Saya. So I've decided to do this chapter from Saya's point of view, and it's also kinda short, mainly because of the writers block.
Review reply:
Bakasennin: Well I have tried to be a little more descriptive in this chapter and I will try a little more in the future. Thank you, it's very good to know that you think I have an original fan fic . It's nice for an author to hear that.
sangokirara5: ok thanks, didn't know they weren't allowed .
Yuki Aikawa: Saya might be attracted, you just have to wait and see hee hee (wow im feeling evil today), and don't worry it's good to be crazy once in a while! Hope you get a computer soon, because I know exactly what it's like without one , don't worry about reviewing late. I'd rather you review like months after the chapter has been done than not at all!
Mike Pan: Saya has changed a bit, that's because she's starting to remember things more clearly. You'll have to wait till the next chapter for the actual wedding though.
Without further ado, here is the next chapter.
Chapter 6
Saya's POV
When I woke up I felt someone resting their arms on the bed I was on. Lately becoming unconscious has become an all too familiar feeling. It's not nice either, and I don't know why it keeps happening.
I sat up slowly because I didn't want to give myself a head rush and make my headache worse; and at the moment it was really bad. When I finally did manage to sit fully up I saw Sakura was resting her head on her arms on the side of the bed.
I peered around the room. Most of it was wooden, the floors, ceiling and walls. There wasn't much in the way of furniture, just two beds, the bed I was lying on and the one on other side of the room, and two chairs, one of which Sakura was sitting on.
I must have been out for quite a while because when I looked through the window in front of me I saw it was really dark outside. Probably around midnight or a little bit later.
Sakura groaned and moved a little bit. I didn't want to disturb her so I slid out of the other side of the bed. I'm not the type to just lie there, and I knew I would probably get in trouble with Kakashi later, but to be honest I don't care. I don't really like staying in one place.
I crept out of the small hut I was in, leaving Sakura to sleep.
The hidden waterfall village was really beautiful this time of night (not that I've seen it in the day mind you). The massive tree in the centre of the lake was lit with what looked like lanterns, spaced at intervals of about 3 foot in every direction. They kind of looked like stars in the vast expanse of space. The lights were also reflecting off the water. This was pretty much the only light; all of the houses were dark save a few that had their curtains shut.
I wandered down to the lake and sat down by the edge. I rolled up my trousers and dangled my feet in the water. I was lovely and cool, and made my feel slightly better. I could hear someone walking up behind me.
"Couldn't sleep either, huh?" I called not bothering to turn around, I knew, for some odd reason, that it was Sasuke.
He sat down to my right cross-legged, about two feet away, and grunted in reply. I didn't really expect anything else from him to be honest. Then to my surprise he spoke up.
"Are you feeling better" He asked.
"Physically; yes, a lot better." I said, trying to smile. I don't think I managed it though, but Sasuke didn't notice because he was staring at the water in the lake.
"Saya, what exactly happened today?" He questioned, not turning to face me, but continuing to stare across the lake. I think he was a little embarrassed, but then again this was Sasuke, and you could never be sure with him. I'd learnt this within around four or five days of knowing him.
"I, well." I started; I didn't know what to say. Whether to tell him or not. I knew he wouldn't tell anyone, and that gave me a kind of comfort. That and the fact that I knew he didn't usually care, but this time he did, made me tell him. "I know it's going to sound really weird, but I have a phobia of the dark. You see when I do my jutsu, I can see, so it doesn't bother me. But today, when I had that blindfold on I couldn't, and I freaked. Being in that situation reminded me of something, and I just heard people's voice's and screams in my head." When I finished I realised that it made me seem mad, and I wanted to hit myself. "Oh man now I sound crazy."
"You're not." Said Sasuke quietly
He said it so quietly that I thought I misheard him, "Sorry?"
"You're not crazy. It happens to me too." He said a little louder, and quite slowly, as if not sure he should be telling me. Even though I wasn't going to ask him why he continued, which surprised me. "Certain things trigger off memories, of that day." He took a deep breath, "The day everyone in my family was massacred. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I dream it. Anyone that's had tragedy in their past seem to relive the moment over and over again. That's why people like Sakura don't understand me, and never will."
He looked at me then, and suddenly I realised why nearly every girl around my age in Konoha fell in love with him. His eyes were so deep and dark that I found myself getting lost in them. We just sat there for a long time, eyes locked together. I wanted to say something comforting to him. But what can you say to someone whose entire family's dead?
"Saya." Called Kakashi's voice, breaking the spell between myself and Sasuke. Without realising it, we had become a lot closer together than we had been to begin with.
I turned around to see the source of the voice. Kakashi was walking towards me, and by the look on his face I could see he didn't seem too happy with me. I turned back to look at Sasuke but all I saw was his back.
"Night." He called back to me. Leaving me on my own with Kakashi. A rather angry Kakashi I might add.
"Night," I called to his back.
"Come on Saya I need to talk to you." Said Kakashi beckoning me to follow him
I followed about two meters behind him, and I was walking slower than he was. As I followed him I could see Sakura standing inside the door way. She must have seen and heard everything because she was slightly teary eyed. I had a feeling she wasn't going to talk to me for a while.
Kakashi got to presumably what was his room for the night and went in, I took a deep breath a followed. Kakashi sat down, and motioned for me to sit in the other seat.
"Well Saya, I think you should know by now you shouldn't go wandering off by yourself, you're endangering yourself and putting the lives of you team mates in jeopardy. What would've happened if a Jounin level ninja had turned up, eh? You could've been killed."
"What if a Jounin had turned up when we were waiting for you?" I countered, "We could've been killed then, because you were late, and then you come up with crap excuses, and lies about what you were doing. You never used to be late. Akina hates it when you're late."
I saw she had hit a nerve unwillingly; Kakashi's face stopped being angry "Akina's dead, Saya. She was killed on a mission."
I was truly shocked to hear that. Always smiling, always happy Akina. Dead. The word echoed around my mind. Akina could always take care of herself. I'd never have thought that she would die during a mission.
"How long ago?" I finally brought myself to ask.
"Eight years ago." His face was just too pained for me to look at.
"Eight years." I repeated. For the second time that night I found myself lost for words. Finally I found some, but without much thought for what they could mean I blurted them out, "Did you ever manage to get married?"
"No, we were due to get married the day we got back from the mission."
"Kakashi, I'm really sorry." I found myself saying, and I meant it. I know how hard it is to loose a loved one.
"Don't worry about it." He said standing up and turning his back to me, "That was a long time ago. Look if me being late really bothers you that much, I'll try and be a little earlier. You'd better get to bed, it's late."
"Okay then." I said sensing that he wanted to be alone. Even though a thousand questions burned in my mind, I left him on his own. I closed the door behind me and walked back to my own hut. I felt like I had upset everyone, and I resolved to sort it out the next day. I opened the door to my hut slowly and quietly, just in case Sakura was asleep, which she was. I clambered into my own bed without changing. For a while I did wonder what Naruto and Sasuke would be like sharing, I nearly burst out laughing, they would probably be arguing all night. Actually it would be more likely that Naruto would be having a go at Sasuke and he would be ignoring Naruto.
Sasuke. His face came to my mind at that moment, and I couldn't get rid of it. He was so mysterious. Stop, I told myself, I didn't want to go down that path at that particular moment in time. All I wanted to do was have a decent sleep for once. One without weird dreams, or memories, or whatever they were. I yawned and closed my eyes, darkness enveloping me.
Sorry about the shortness of the chapter. . I will make the next one longer I promise! But you might have to wait for a while till the next one because I get my GCSE results tomorrow (panic panic!!!!) then I go on holiday on Friday, so it might be at least 2 weeks before I update .
