Finally, another chapter up! Stupid teachers bombarding me with work, it's unfair I tell you! Anyway, 'BLAH BLAH BLAH' are thoughts and 'BLAH BLAH BLAH' are the inner voices…
As promised, Tsunade let Misanagi go home later that week. Misanagi was overjoyed as she hated hospitals and felt an urge to go for a walk. A long, long walk she decided.
On her way around the village, she saw Sasuke walking towards her. She sighed and stayed to the left of the road, trying to avoid him at any costs. She didn't remember what happened when she was still unconscious and thought he was still as cold as ever.
' Misanagi-san…' He started.
' What? Are you going to tell me how much you hate me? Or how I'm so annoying? What you say to me hurts a lot. No one wants to know they'll never be loved, or that they'll never be able to love…' Sasuke sighed, he had a feeling she'd say something like that.
' Actually, I was going to tell you how much I want to kiss you. How I want to hold you and tell you I love you at every chance I get. How I want you to forgive me so I can be with you forever.' He said softly. Misanagi just looked at him as if he was high on drugs. Seems normal enough… she thought.
' Are you on any medication?' She asked sceptically. Sasuke chuckled.
' Yeah, that does sounds a bit corny doesn't it? But I meant every word of it.'
' Sasuke…'
' Look, I know what I did to you was wrong and entirely stupid. I'm a brainless fool I admit it. I know I can't erase the past, but maybe we can start fresh. Without trying to rip each other's heads off.' He suggested smiling nervously.
' Friends?' Misanagi asked, offering her hand. Sasuke smiled sadly. Well, I've got to start somewhere, don't I?
' Friends.' He said taking it in his own as he began walking down the street.
' Anou, Sakura-chan, are they holding hands?' Naruto asked. Sakura and Naruto decided to spy on the two as soon as they spotted them in the street from the ramen stand.
' I think they've made up. Maybe that saying is true, maybe he does have a crush on Mi-chan.' Sakura said.
' Ne? What saying Sakura-chan?'
' You know, that a boy only makes fun of a girl he likes. Sasuke's been picking on Mi-chan from the very beginning. And if you don't mind me saying, your sister is very pretty, I'm sure he thinks so too.' Naruto was confused.
' I'm confused. Didn't he hate her and make her almost kill herself? And didn't she hate him as well?' He asked.
' Well, yeah… I'm confused too but under these circumstances Naruto, I think we can agree that deep down they like each other, but they couldn't deal with their differences or come to terms with their own problems. I mean they could've helped each other get over their problems.' Sakura explained.
' Yeah maybe, but that doesn't erase the fact he made my sister cry. And she tried to kill herself because of him.' He said angrily.
' I know Naruto. I hate Sasuke for doing that too, but you have to consider that she had problems to start with. Being alone all her life and the pressure of being a very young Jounin is a lot to deal with. I think Sasuke just made her lose control of her emotions.' Naruto looked away and sighed.
' Sakura-chan, can I ask you something?'
' Sure.'
' If Sasuke wasn't like this, if you knew he liked Nee-san. Do you- would you ever think of going out with me?'
' Naruto, what do you…?'
' Isn't it enough that you have someone that loves you? Even though the person you like might hate you? I think I know how Sasuke feels around Nee-san, now.' Sakura looked down. Sure, she loved Naruto to bits, but in a purely platonic way.
' Naruto, I love you too, but it's just not the same. I think of you as a best friend, sort of like a little brother. What I felt for Sasuke was different. Maybe it was an innocent little crush, or maybe it was me being brainless. Either way, both of you are like family to me.'
' I understand. At least I won't get upset about it, huh Sakura-chan?' Sakura nodded sadly and gave Naruto a big hug.
' You know there's someone out there who loves you and admires you, don't you?' She whispered softly into his ear.
' Really?'
' Uh huh.' Sakura nodded.
' Who?'
' You'll just have to see for yourself.' Naruto stomped off angry at Sakura for not telling him about his secret admirer.
Meanwhile, Sasuke and Misanagi were down at the river catching up. They talked for hours about themselves, reintroducing themselves, and apologising every so often.
' Well, there's not really much about me that you don't know. I'm sure Kakashi-kun told you all about my not so preppy life.' Misanagi smiled sadly.
' Well, there are some things I'd like to know.' He said.
' Like what? What my porn star name is?' She asked sarcastically. Sasuke laughed loudly and looked up at the sky for a moment.
' No, I mean, little things like favourite things, fears, and dreams. Porn star name would be an added bonus.' Misanagi frown and hit Sasuke lightly on the arm.
' Well, my favourite colours are pink, black and silver; favourite music is basically anything rock; um favourite foods, anything with sugar; and yeah…
' I'm scared of heights, small spaces and animals. Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits, but when they get too close to me I start freaking out.
' My dreams. Well, that's a hard one. I know I want to be the best Jounin I can and help the village in any way possible. But hopefully, there will be a time when I'll settle down and start a family.
' I want to get married before I'm thirty and have at least two kids, a boy and a girl. I'll still go on missions and freak out my family. I hope to become a doctor someday, and specialise in children.
' I'll retire when I'm old and wrinkly and live to see grandchildren. Maybe great-grandchildren if I'm lucky. Then I shall die of old age or I'll be assassinated. Either way is cool.' She finished. Sasuke lay on his side and looked at Misanagi carefully. She was smiling and looked completely happy.
' But your porn star name, you still haven't told me that yet.' Sasuke whispered. Misanagi turned beet-red and scowled.
' You don't need to know.'
' Oh come on, I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.' Sasuke pleaded.
' Fine. It's the name of your first pet and street right?' Sasuke nodded.
' Well, it's Miffy Blossom… that's quite lame actually. What's yours?' Sasuke looked away in embarrassment.
' It's Moo-Moo Castle.' He muttered. Misanagi looked torn between smiling and sympathising with the poor boy, and laughing hysterically in his face. She ended up patting his back all the while laughing.
' And how is that supposed to help me?'
' Um, it just does?' Misanagi kept laughing until tears started to form.
' I'm sorry Sasuke-kun… that was mean of me.' Sasuke smiled and lay down next to the water. After a few moments watching Misanagi play with some flowers, he sat up, looking at the water.
' What's the matter Sasuke-kun?'
' I'm sorry Misanagi-san… I never meant to hurt you like that. I… Every bad thing I've done to you, every hurtful word, I take back. I never meant it. I just…' Misanagi sighed and grabbed Sasuke by the collar. She pressed her lips to his and smiled. "This should shut him up…" she thought.
' Mi-Misanagi-san! Wh-what was that for?' Sasuke stuttered. He'd kissed her before, but she was unconscious then.
' You started rambling, I needed to shut you up.' She got up and walked closer to the water.
' I have this weird feeling we've kissed before. Strange isn't it?' Misanagi asked calmly.
' Anou, what makes you think that?' Sasuke stuttered.
' I dunno, it's just that, I feel as if I've kissed you before.' Sasuke started fidgeting and moved around a little.
' Kakashi-sensei told me. Don't worry about it.' Sasuke felt as if he could drown in the water at that very moment.
Sasuke turned beet red. He couldn't believe that his own sensei would rat on him like that. But then again, Kakashi was extremely perverted and probably found pleasure in keeping tabs on his students.
' Stupid pervert…' He muttered.
' Eh? Did you say something Sasuke-kun?' Sasuke looked up. It was then that he realised that he was thinking out loud again. ' She probably thinks you've lost it by now…' His inner voice said slyly. ' Would you shut up already? It's bad enough I've made her life a living hell, I don't need her passing out because I'm arguing with a voice in my head!'
Sasuke's face contorted into a serious of expressions, some unreadable by Misanagi. While Sasuke was arguing with himself, Misanagi watched on in awe.
' Maybe he's schizophrenic… His face looks weird…' She thought to herself. She looked at the raven haired boy once more and raised her eyebrow. Sasuke shook his head and began muttering to himself, as if he was arguing with that "voice".
' Stupid thing… stop talking to me dammnit…! Shut up!' He ended up yelling. Sasuke stopped walking and looked around.
' Misanagi-san? Misanagi-san. Where on earth did that girl go?' He walked off looking for any signs of a sixteen-year-old girl.
Meanwhile, Misanagi had finally managed to get away from Sasuke, who was starting to scare her a little now. 'And I thought I had problems…' A small rustle in the bushes came from behind Misanagi, making her jump a little. She threw one of her shuriken at a nearby tree hoping that her temporary stalker would show themselves. A little gasp was heard.
' Hinata-chan?'
' M-Misanagi-san…'
' What are you doing here? Trying to spy on my brother?' Hinata turned pink.
' Spy on N-Naruto-kun? I-I… No!' She squeaked. As if the word "understanding" crashed on top of the girl's had, Misanagi grabbed Hinata's arm and smirked.
' N-Ne, Misanagi-san. Wh-where are you taking me?' She looked scared and worried, especially after seeing that evil glint in the older girl's eyes. ' She's scared of me. Haha, so she should be. No one falls in love with my little brother without me interfering!' Misanagi cackled unconsciously.
' Anou… Misanagi-san, I don't think you're thinking properly.'
' Of course I'm thinking properly. This is the sanest I've been for a long time.' Hinata just went pale, surprising since she was pale as a sheet already.
' Ne, Nee-san! What are you doing? Oh, hi Hinata-chan.'
' O-ohayo N-Naruto-kun…' She stuttered.
' Man, just when I thought she stopped stuttering. Hinata-chan, you stay with my brother, I'm going Uchiha hunting.' Naruto gave his sister a weak glare while Hinata shivered uncontrollably. Once Misanagi was out of earshot, Hinata whispered.
' N-Naruto-kun, not t-to be rude, but… Misanagi-san is scary!' She wailed.
' Yeah, that's Nee-san for you…'
Sasuke thought he had lost Misanagi for a moment when he saw a candy store. 'She'd never look in there' he thought. How wrong he was. Kakashi didn't tell him that Misanagi's insanity thrived on sugar and hiding in a candy store was the worst possible decision to make.
' Ohayo minna-san!' Came the chipper voice. Sasuke felt himself cringe as he hid behind a stack of chocolates.
' What'll it be today Mi-chan?' The shopkeeper asked gently.
' Hmm, I think I'll have the usual. Oh yes, and some Uchihas if you have them.' Sasuke froze in his hiding place.
' I'm sorry Mi-chan, you'd have to make your own if you want some of them.' The shopkeeper said slyly, pointing over to where Sasuke was hiding. Smiling brightly, she made her way over to the chocolate display.
' Oh, who would've known, you do have some Uchihas hiding in your shop Ji-san.' Misanagi said, pulling away some boxes.
' I'll take this as well if you don't mind Ji-san.'
' Ok, come back soon Mi-chan.'
Misanagi yanked on Sasuke's ear and pulled him out of the store.
' Run away from me would you? You're going to pay dearly for that.' Sasuke let out a small whimper. 'She's going to decapitate me!' ' More like eat you if you're not careful.' ' You again?' 'She looks pissed, time for me to go!' ' Wait a sec!'
' Please Misanagi-san, please don't hurt me! I'll do anything you want, please!' He begged. As much as Misanagi loved to see Uchiha Sasuke begging her on hands and knees, she decided to put him out of his misery.
' You're still getting punished.'
' But…!' Soft lips silenced his in an instant. Biting his bottom lip, Misanagi slipped her tongue between Sasuke's lips, earning her a moan from the boy. And just when it seemed that nothing could go wrong, things just went wrong.
' Oi, Sasuke-teme! What are you doing to Nee-san!'
' Shit…'
Bwahahahaha! Anyways, I know this was a crappy chappie (hehe, I made a funny )) but R&R!
