Story title: True Love

Chapter 5: An Evening With You.

The following morning, Yuukie went to her favorite place and wrote something in a book. She knew that Sasuke was somewhere here watching here. Studying her every move, but she just can't sense it. He had hid his presence very well, or maybe he's just isn't there, not that she would know… since she's not a ninja. Why would he waste his precious and valuable time watching over her? When he could just train all day long. Yuukie followed her conclusion, knowing that she's not being watched today. She was actually relived; it's no fun when you want to be alone but was being tracked. She sighed out loud. She closed her book and placed it on the flat rock next to her and stared at the lake, admiring the scene. A little rabbit came out of the bushes, twitching its nose.

" Hello there little rabbit. Come here, I wont hurt you." Yuukie said trying to attract the rabbit to her.

The little rabbit hesitated at first and almost ran away but then it approached Yuukie cautiously.

" That's a good rabbit." She said as she placed it on her lap and began to stroke it's soft fur.

" You have nice fur." Yuukie said admiring its black and white coat.

The rabbit's ears twitched as it picked up something. One look at the lake and it ran away back to his hiding place in the bushes.

" Wait! Little rabbit! What's wrong?"

She looked at the crystal blue lake and saw a blurry image of Sasuke hidden among the branches of one of the trees. Yuukie gave a small gasp.

' I think I should leave. I would be in big trouble if I don't. Should I go home? No, bad idea it would make matters worse. What should I do? How about acting natural? Right, if you want to be killed.' Yuukie argued with herself. ' Maybe… if I say that I'm going home, maybe he'll leave? It's worth a try…'

" I should be getting home." Yuukie said to herself.

" There's no use trying to pretend that you didn't see me."

Yuukie's eyes widen. ' How did he knew? Did he purposely let me see him?'

" I got careless. I didn't think that you would look into the lake and see my reflection." Sasuke said answering the question that was on her mind. " I guess you would already know why I am here so there's no use for an explanation." Sasuke said jumping of the branch and leaned his back to the tree and crossing his arms.

Yuukie tensed. She took the book and began to write as she tried to remain calm.

" You're the quiet type of girl aren't you? Don't see much of that in Konoha, except for Hinata."

Yuukie didn't say anything and continued writing in her book.

Are you trying to ignore me? Make me bored so that I'll leave? Well it wasn't my idea for a holiday either I would be more than glad to leave. But these are my duties, so I'm asking you, do you want me to leave or not?"

Silenced filled the air as Yuukie didn't answer.

" Is that a yes?" Sasuke asked.

"…" More silence.

" All right then I'll go now because I'll take that as a y…"

" No." Came a reply stopping Sasuke's sentence.

" I beg your pardon?" Sasuke asked in a cold tone.

" No." She repeated.

" And exactly why not, may I ask? I thought you wanted me to leave."

" I don't want to get you into trouble with your team. But if you wish, you may leave. I'll just tell them that you were doing your job."

" Are you saying that you'd lie for me not to get in trouble?" Sasuke asked.

A muffled sound escaped Yuukie's lips as she replied in a small voice.

" I didn't catch that." Sasuke said in sarcasm.

" Yes." She said more clearly.

" Hn."

Yuukie opened back her book and began writing again.

" What exactly are you doing in that book? You've been writing in it for the whole evening." Sasuke said out of the blue.

" I thought you left." Yuukie asked.

" A ninja would never leave his duties unfinished."

" Is it hard being a ninja?" Yuukie asked suddenly.

" Yes but it depends on the person. It takes hard work and determination but more importantly, your capability on how good you really are. If you bad well you don't have what it takes to be one but if you're good you have the right to be one and no one else is there to stop you. So, why the sudden question to know? You aren't exactly one." Sasuke said coldly.

" I… know. I'm… just asking." Yuukie said feeling a bit hurt at what Sasuke had just said.

A while later…

" Uchiha-san, I'm leaving now." Yuukie said closing her book and standing up.

"Hn."

Sasuke followed her halfway through the park when she suddenly stopped.

" Uchiha-san, do you mind not being seen? People might think you're stalking." Yuukie said without turning around to face him.

" You care too much about people. Hn. I see…"

Yuukie turned to look at him. " See what?"

" You don't want us to be seen by your boyfriend."

" Boyfriend? What boyfriend?" Yuukie asked him.

' What is he talking about? Does he know something about Daisuke? Is he here?' Yuukie thought while her heartbeat went faster.

" Naruto." Sasuke said simply.

" Naruto? My boyfriend?" Yuukie asked the dark haired boy feeling shocked. " You must be mistaken, but my status is single." Yuukie replied curtly.

" Why don't you get one then?" Sasuke asked scornfully.

" Why don't you get an heiress and a life?" Yuukie countered.

" Che. I'll be in no view then." He said disappearing.

Yuukie's house…

Yuukie stepped inside and hung her cloak. She boiled water to make some tea for herself and her mother. She took out a tray and placed tea cups, a teapot now full of tea and a few bottles of medicine. She walked to her mother's room and knocked the door.

" Mother, may I come in?" Yuukie asked.

" The door is unlocked dear."

" It's time for your medication mother. How are you feeling?"

" I'm just fine." She said rocking her rocking chair.

" How about a spot of tea with your medication mother?" Yuukie asked.

" That would be nice." Hana said smiling.

Yuukie poured the tea and took out some pills and gave them to her mother.

" Thank you dear." Hana said as she placed the teacup to her lips. She drank some tea and popped the pills into her mouth and began to swallow the pills.

" Now for the syrup." Yuukie said.

" I hate this kind." Hana pointed to on of the bottles.

" I know mother."

When Hana finished taking her medicine Yuukie took the tray back to the kitchen. She sat down on one of the chairs and sighed. She then walked to the door and opened it.

" Uchiha-san, you might want to come inside. You might catch a cold in this weather." Yuukie called out.

Sasuke jumped from the roof and landed gracefully on the porch. Yuukie a bit startled took a step back and opened the door wider for him to enter.

Assaulter's POV…

" There she is!" A red haired said.

" Why that little…" A green haired began.

" Shh! The two of you shut up! We'll get her won't we?" Their leader said.

" Absolutely…" The whole gang said.

Back with Yuukie and Sasuke…

" Do you want some tea?" Yuukie asked.

"…" Sasuke said nothing but just sat down.

Yuukie sat across him and poured some tea into two teacups and handed one to Sasuke, accidentally touched his hands making a shiver run down her spine as his hands were cold.

" Thank you."

" You're very welcome, Uchiha-san."

" Why do you call me Uchiha-san?" Sasuke asked, he felt like he was treated like a 56 year old.

" Because you're older." (1)

" It's Sasuke, just Sasuke."

" Very well, Sasuke-san."

" Hn."

" Do you need anything else?" Yuukie asked wondering if he might want to have biscuits with his tea.

"…" Sasuke didn't reply but just drank his tea.

" I'll just get some biscuits." She said getting up, since she didn't get an answer from him.

" Take one." She said when she placed the plate of biscuits in the middle of the table.

Sasuke stared at it and looked back at Yuukie.

" Don't worry about anything. I didn't poison it."

Sasuke hesitated and glared daggers at her.

" If you don't believe me, here." Yuukie said picking one up and bite into it.

" Hn." He said before picking one up himself.

" You said something about this quiet girl, Hinata was it? Who is she?" Yuukie asked.

" She's the main Hyuuga heiress."

" Oh."

" You asked me on why I didn't take an heiress or have a life, right?" Sasuke asked.

"…" Yuukie stayed quiet. She was only countering on what he said not try to find out the real answer. But somehow a part of her wanted to know.

" Well, to make it easy for you to understand. I don't need one. I'm an avenger, so I don't have time for those things. My life is set on killing."

" Why?"

" Because of what he did, I'm all alone. Because of him I set my life to kill him. And because of what he did, I. Don't. Have. A. Family." Sasuke said harshly.

" Who's 'he'?"

" Enough. I don't want to talk about it. If you ask any more questions about him I'll hurt you." Sasuke said with a glare.

Yuukie swallowed hard at the look of his face.

" I answered your question, why don't you answer mine?" Sasuke asked as his tone changed.

" On what?" Yuukie asked, surprised to hear the change of tone in his voice.

" Why you don't have a boyfriend?"

" Why would you like to know?"

" Just answer the question." Sasuke snapped.

" Because…" Yuukie hesitated and went silent.

" Why not? You're even in the right age to get married." Sasuke stated. (2)

" Because…" Yuukie began.

Hana opened the kitchen door and Gasped.

" Daisuke?" She asked looking at Sasuke.

" Huh?"

" Daisuke? You're here! Yuukie, why didn't you tell me he was here? You didn't even tell me that he was going to visit." Hana said looking at Yuukie.

" Mother…" Yuukie tried to explain.

" So Daisuke, how's Snow Country?" (3)

" What?" Sasuke said thinking that Hana was crazy.

" Mother." Yuukie stood up and led her mother back to her room.

" But Daisuke's here…" Hana said trying to ask the boy more questions.

" Mother, he's not Daisuke." Yuukie tried to explain.

" Not Daisuke? How can that be possible?"

" I'll explain everything later mother." She said closing the door.

" Who's Daisuke?" Sasuke asked as Yuukie sat down.

" My… aniki." She had used the same lie so no one will get suspicious.

" I look like your brother?" Sasuke asked in disbelief. He never thought that someone else would look like him.

" In a way… sort of. There's just a difference here and there."

" How long did your aniki leave for Snow Country?"

" A year ago."

" What kind of brother leaves his family behind?"

"…" Yuukie went silent, though… she felt a bit hurt of what Sasuke had just said. It was true that Daisuke had left her and now didn't answer her letters. She felt hurt, not by what Sasuke had said but what Daisuke did. She knew that Daisuke was trying to forget about her but she still had hope that Daisuke still loved her…

A hurt expression flickered on her face and Sasuke noticed. He raised an eyebrow and Yuukie snapped out from the daze.

" So, what's Naruto like?" She asked hoping that this question would change the subject.

" So you're trying to take him?" Apparently it did. " He'll be grateful. He really likes you, that is if you didn't notice." Sasuke said taking a sip of his tea.

" I noticed and no I'm not taking him I'm just asking from his fellow teammate."

" Do you like him?"

" Yes, I'm very fond of him actually." Yuukie said with a small smile tugging at her lips at the mention of the blonde."

" That so? Naruto would be really happy if I told him this." Sasuke said to himself. " But, like I care if he's happy or not."

" I'm sorry I bumped in to you at the grocery market the other day." Yuukie apologized.

" Next time watch where you're going." Sasuke said giving her a glare.

" Why do you have to be an avenger and kill 'him' when you could just revive your clan? Why do you have to waste years in training to avenge for people who sacrificed their lives for you to live? Your whole clan was murdered and you are coming after him, what if you get killed? You're gambling their lives! And you're the only Uchiha heir; if you die your clan would cease to exist. Is this how you repay your clan after what they sacrificed?"

" Shut up! You don't know anything so don't act as if you do!" Sasuke yelled threatening to kill her.

" You really don't care about them…"

" I said shut up! How would you know!? It wasn't your family! If it were, you'd probably do the same thing! The hell do you know! You know nothing!" Sasuke said pulling out a kunai and pressing it to her neck.

" If it were me I would just do the right thing and not avenge them. I wouldn't gamble their lives like what you're doing right now." Yuukie said feeling pressure every second as she said a word to him. " You really are stubborn."

" Why should you care?" Sasuke said pulling back.

" I care because…" Yuukie stopped her sentence. " I understand…"

" No you don't! No one does! You don't have your family being killed in front of you eyes by your…" Sasuke stopped not wanting her to know about his brother. " You just won't understand."

" I think you should leave before your fit of temper kills everyone in this house."

" Be glad to!" Sasuke said before heading to the door.

Yuukie stood up and opened the door, letting the furious Uchiha heir storm outside. He shot her one last glare and walked away. (4) Yuukie closed the door and sighed, relieved that he had went.

" What do you mean he's not Daisuke." Hana said out of the blue.

" He's Sasuke, you know as in Uchiha Sasuke." Yuukie explained.

" Aa… I see. Looks pretty much like Daisuke ne?"

" Hai."

" What is he doing here? Are you… trying to replace Daisuke with him? It wouldn't make a difference though."

" No. I don't want to, no matter how much he looks like Daisuke. I don't want Daisuke to disappear from my life. I still need him."

" I understand Yuukie, it's alright to miss someone that you truly love."

" How do you do it mother?"

" Do what?"

" Keeping your emotions aside? Whenever I look at Sasuke I have to contain myself and avoid him before I run over to him and hug him. Because he reminds me so much of Daisuke."

" I'll let you know on your own. You will find out soon enough." Hana said before leaving her.

' Why does she have to make everything even more complicated? What does she mean? Is she asking me to replace Daisuke with Sasuke? Pfft… Like that would ever happen. I don't think that would ever happen. He hates me especially after just now. Sasuke… oh now I have to apologize! If Daisuke were here, I wouldn't be in this mess or have this throbbing headache. Is Daisuke moving on? Leaving me with pain? I don't want that. I just want to be with him again. Meeting 'him' made matters even worse, and I'm sure that I'm going to get a beating soon.'
