Akatsuki

Tohru woke up spoting Neji on the other bed,and remembering what happened earily that day.

"You're awake..."

Tohru looked to her left. There, Itachi was seated on a stool staring at Neji and Tohru.

"Wha--What're you gonna do with us...?"

"I'm going to..."

SASUKE, KAKASHI, SAKURA, TENTEN, NARUTO, LEE, AND GAI

"Kakashi-sensei, if you don't want to lose another person, then watch out for us..."Sakura said, then walked over to Sasuke.Kakashi looked up then thought,'What am I doing?I'm crying like a stupid, whiney kid!Get your self together, Kakashi!'

"Sasuke-kun, if you just...pound your fist on the tree, you'll never get ANYTHING done..."Sakura said tiredly.'Sakura's right...this time...'

"NARUTO!THE CHIPMONK IS OFF YOUR FACE ALREADY!"Sakura screamed at Naruto.Naruto stopped, and looked at Sakura.His face was red.His forehead was bleeding.There was splinters in his face,too...

Sakura walked over to Tenten."Tenten, don't worry...I'm sure Neji'll come back...OK...?"

"sob You're probably sob right..."

Sakura looked at Gai and Lee.

"GAI-SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GAI-SENSEI!"

Sakura sighed deeply.'I'll just leave them alone.'

Kakashi stood up, and said,"Let's go...back to Tazuna's house..."Everyone stood up, and started to walk back too.

"Gai, would you like to come too?"

"Uh...I'll...I'll...I'll go back to Konoha...and report this..."

"Fine,"

Gai, Lee, and Tenten walked back to Konoha.Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto walked back to Tazuna's house.

In Sasuke's mind:

Why!Why do I feel this way about Tohru!She's just a teammate...I only felt this way when my family was alive...WHY!Itachi told me this feeling was...love...

Present:

They arrived at Tazuna's house.Tazuna was sitting on a chair.Inari was carring the picture of his father.Tsunami(Inari's mom) was setting dinner on the table.
They entered the house, then Tazuna said,"Where's the girl with the black kimono...?"

All went silent...until...Sasuke ran to his room, shut the door with a loud BANG!

"What the--!What happened!"

"Um...Let's not talk about it...OK?"Sakura said, smiling nervously.

"Fine..."

They ate dinner in silence.Sasuke didn't come down to dinner.

'Could Sasuke be...in...with Tohru!'Kakashi thought, then choke at the thought.

Gasp.

Choke.

Choke.

Gasp.

"Kakashi-sensei!What happened"
Kakashi pulled up his mask, and said,"Uh...Really nasty...thought..."

"Demo...you have that 'Icha Icha Paradice' book, don't you...?"

"It was...about...Sasuke..."Kakashi shifted uneasily in his chair.He stood up, and walked upstairs, went to his room, and shut the door.
"Weird!Kakashi-sensei...alway has his Icha Icha paradice book--always..."Sakura said to herself.

SASUKE

"WHY!WHY!WHY ME!WHY DO I HAVE TO...BE THE ONE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS!"

SAKURA, NARUTO, INARI, INARI'S MOM, AND TAZUNA

"WHY!WHY!WHY ME!WHY DO I HAVE TO...BE THE ONE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS!"

"That was...that was...Sasuke-kun!Wha...What happened!"Sakura said rushing upstairs.

KAKASHI

"WHY!WHY!WHY ME!WHY DO I HAVE TO...BE THE ONE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS!"

'I guess..my theory was correct...'

SAKURA

She ran to Sasuke's room, only to find a locked door."Sasuke-kun!Open this door, please!PLEASE!"

"NO!GO...AWAY!JUST...LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"NO!What's wrong!Just TELL me!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

This went on for about 15 minutes...until Kakashi and Naruto finally broke them up.

Kakashi got an every-day knife from the sink. He unlocked the door, and went inside...dun dun dun duuuunnn!

"Hey--!"Kakashi stared at the red-eyed shinobi.It looked like he was... crying!"Were you...crying...!"

"HEY!I LOCKED THE DOOR!CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"ANSWER MY QUESTION!"

"Uh..."Sasuke turned away, collpasing on the bed.Kakashi stared at the blue, stained pillow.
