The following morning, Hana woke up to the smell of food being cooked downstairs. Her eyes fluttered open, and she sat up. Sasuke had slept with his arm around her all night. She glanced around the room, rubbing at her tired eyes as she done so. It looked like Nari had slept, but not Sumi as her bed was gone as was her backpack. Hana wondered why, maybe she had had something on her mind. She started to feel guilty for leaving her alone if she did...but she had just fallen asleep next to Sasuke.

She glanced down at him, all snuggled up and sleeping next to her. She couldn't help but feel weird watching him...was she really destined to love him? She let out a small sigh, standing up and fixing her clothes. She had slept in her clothes..great. Now she had to walk all the way back to the leaf village feeling tired and like she just wanted to crawl back into bed. That's how she always felt when she slept in her clothes.

Sasuke stirred a little, so she crept out of the room and down the stairs after running her brush through her hair. Tsunami was stood at the stove, cooking them up some breakfast. She glanced around the table, wishing everyone good morning but she couldn't see Sumi anywhere. "Hey...did you guys see Sumi?" she asked everyone. "She left early this morning" Nari shrugged "she said she needed to clear her mind".

"Oh?" Hana said, curious as to what was wrong with her "well, save some food for us. I'll go out and look for her". Nari stood "I'll go with you, we're teammates after all". Hana nodded, and the pair left the house and walked around the village in search of Sumi. She was nowhere to be found. "Maybe she's in the forest?" Nari suggested, her features full of worry. "Yeah, let's check it out" Hana replied, and the pair then set off towards the forest.

"Did she say anything before she left other than she needed to clear her mind?" Hana asked. Nari tapped her chin "nope, but she was acting up last night". "How so?" Hana blinked. "She was yelling at everyone - which I know is pretty normal for Sumi but she seemed tense and off. She went up to our room to grab her hairbrush and when she came down she was acting funny". Hana stopped dead in her tracks. Ah. She knew exactly why Sumi was acting up now. It was because she was cuddled up with Sasuke when Sumi went inside.

"Are you okay?" Nari asked, stopping just ahead of her. She wasn't sure if she should mention it to Nari or not. "Yeah" she nodded, starting to walk again "I just think I know why she's upset is all". "Do you think it's because of what you said about Sasuke and then you cuddled him all night?" Nari asked, biting her bottom lip. "Probably" she sighed "I have to fix this". "First though" Nari said, stopping her with a firm hand on her shoulder "you need to think about how you feel about Sasuke".

"Of course I don't have romantic feelings for him" Hana scoffed "he's my brother - and if Sumi wants him,and he wants her then they can have each other". She instantly felt a pang of jealousy wash over her, but she ignored it. She didn't want to be falling in love with him. So instead of acknowledging it, she would ignore it and try to change the future as best she could.

"Are you sure?" Nari asked, tilting her head "you don't look so convincing". "I am sure!" Hana yelled, before she started to walk again "let's go find her and I'll tell her that myself!". Nari jogged after her as she sped walked into the forest - and soon enough they heard someone running and grunting. They pushed a few bushes aside and saw Sumi practicing running up a tree. Hana called her name, but Sumi ignored her. "Sumi we need to talk NOW!" Hana yelled. Sumi landed on her feet and rolled her eyes, patting the sweat on her forehead off with a small towel she had nabbed from Tazuna's house, and approached the girls "what?".

"I know exactly why you're upset" she said. "Yeah?" Sumi panted "then why did you do that?". "Because he did it to me!" Hana exclaimed "it wasn't my idea. Why don't you talk to Sasuke about it?". "Because he wouldn't understand" Sumi sighed "you don't see it because you're his sister and you're so smitten with him". "I'm not in love with him" Hana grunted. "Nobody mentioned you being in love with him" Sumi said "you are the only one who mentioned that. What i meant is that you are so happy and sappy around him it's ridiculous. You can't be in love with someone you're related to, it's gross".

"What about your grandmother, though?" Nari squinted "she fell in love with her brother". "Yeah, and what their mother and father done was the right thing to do. Sending him away. But Hana doesn't have any parents to do that, so she's going to have to do it herself". "What are you saying to her?!" Nari gasped. "I'm saying Hana needs to leave, and she needs to leave as soon as possible and go hella far away!" Sumi yelled. Hana felt her heart ache. Was Sumi that spiteful? Was she so jealous that she would want Hana and Sasuke to never see each other again?

"He's my brother.." Hana said, tears welling in her eyes "I love him as my brother". "That will soon change" Sumi scoffed "just think about it Hana. You know it's going to happen - you saw it in your vision. You and Sasuke will get married and have three kids and live happily ever after and for what? Your kids to marry each other too? Would you like that Hana?!". "No!" Hana cried. "Then stop and just go away!" Sumi screamed "leave us all to be with the people we love without you interfering for once!".

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Nari yelled, wrapping her arms around a sobbing Hana. "You know exactly what it means" Sumi growled "because you've been there too, haven't you Nari? Almost every girl in Konoha hates her!". "It's not true!" Nari cooed to Hana "don't listen to her". "It is true, Hana" Sumi growled even louder this time "Choji is crazy in love with Hana, and always has been. I'm sure you feel devastated to know that, huh Nari?!". "I always knew that!" Nari exclaimed to Sumi "You can't control your feelings for people, and I know that very well. Too well. But it's not Hana's fault she's the most beautiful girl in the village! Just like it's not Sasuke's fault he's the handsomest!".

"Hm, you're right" Sumi chuckled darkly "it's her parent's fault. Maybe the reason she's so weird is because she's a product of inbreeding". "SUMI!" Nari yelled "leave her alone, you've gone far enough!". Hana had heard enough. She lunged at Sumi, grabbing her by her collar and punching her across the face. Sumi fell flat onto her back, clutching her face. Her eyes were wide with shock. Hana stormed away, leaving Nari stuck to the floor with shock, and Sumi laying on the floor shocked. They hadn't expected her to do it, but she had. Now Sumi was starting to feel bad...but she knew Hana wouldn't listen to anything she had to say probably for a long time.

Hana wasn't sure what to do, but she knew she had to go away. Far away.
