" What did you just say?" asked Sasuke in a harsh tone and still holding her shoulders tightly. Amaya could she the anger in his eyes and she got kind of scared and tried to scoot away from him, but to not avail. She struggled to get out of his grasp.
" This was a bad idea. Let go of me!" she yelled. Then Sasuke noticed that he was scaring her when she was already in bad condition. His grip softened and she looked back at his face.
" I'm sorry… its just …lets say that we have the same goal. I've been training to kill Uchia Itashi for many years too. I've know him my whole life, he's my older brother." Sasuke said the last part with particular scorn. She looked at him.
" Wow this really sounds like some soap opera. Too bad it isn't. So he's you older brother? I should have guessed. Uchia Sasuke and Uchia Itashi. I feel stupid." Said Amaya and then something hit her like a ton of bricks. She looked at him. " I'm sorry." She said. Sasuke's head jolted up because while he was talking he had angled his head toward the ground.
" What?" he asked. " What is there to be sorry for?"
" I know that if I want to beat him than I should know some of Itashi's back round. He killed the whole Uchia clan, well besides you. That means he killed your family. You must have been pretty young." Explained Amaya.
" Thanks but I don't need your pity. But I might need your help." Said Sasuke. Amaya nodded in understanding and then asked,
" What kind of help?"
" We both want Itashi dead. If we work together we have a better chance in killing him. Two is better than one." Said Sasuke.
" Sounds good. Although with my ankle I probably won't be able to train for another 2 weeks. I don't think its broken but probably sprained." Sasuke nodded.
" Okay well lets go to the academy and get it checked out."
" No!" Said Amaya quite loudly. "We can't go to the academy. I can't go back."
" Aren't you a ninja?" asked Sasuke. If she were a ninja than she wouldn't have to go to the academy.
" Yes, I am. I was once at the academy than my sister died. I waited till I was 11 and graduated a Genin. Than I went off and no one in this village has seen me since. Well not until today. I went off and found someone who could teach me. I may not officially be a Chunin but I diffidently surpass the qualifications." Sasuke looked at her.
" I understand but you need medical help. We have to go to the academy. Why wouldn't they want you there?" asked Sasuke still sort of confused as to why she wouldn't go back. Amaya let out a sour laugh.
" I was the best student in my class. No one's really happy when you just disappear and leave your team and friends behind without a word. How would they feel if I just showed up again asking for help? I'll tell you. They'll be angry."
" Even so we're going." Amaya looked at him and realized that she wasn't going to win.
" So, how do you propose we get there?" asked Amaya.
" Well its you left ankle that's hurt right?" Amaya jest nodded her head. " Okay so put you left arm around my shoulders and I'll help you walk." Suggested Sasuke. Amaya sighed.
" Fine." She said doing as Sasuke told her. They got up and started heading toward the academy.
" So you once went to the academy. Who was you sensei and who was on your team? Maybe I know them." Said Sasuke trying to start a conversation. Amaya smiled a bit remembering her old team.
" Kiba and Naruto. Wow did those guys need some major help. Kakashi was my sensei. Kiba always said he was better than Naruto because Naruto was completely helpless and then they would fight and I, being stronger than the two of them combined, had to break it up." Explained Amaya. She had a dazed look in her eyes as if she where having a flash back.
" Oh my god." Said Sasuke. " Los- I mean Naruto is on my team now. He is the most worthless human being ever. And ironically Kakashi is my sensei as well." Amaya smirked.
" Small world." She said. They walked the rest of the way in silence. ' Stop! You can't go back there! They'll tear you limb from limb! No one wants you there! No one wants you anywhere! They never have and they never will!' yelled Amaya inside her head. She was starting to have doubts. I mean what if they were really mad? Could she really trust Sasuke?
Right when they got to the door Amaya stopped. Sasuke looked at her confused.
" Come on." He said.
" I don't know if I can. I'm having second thoughts." Sasuke didn't care. He opened the door and shoved the struggling girl in, still being her crutch. Everyone turned to see Sasuke as usual but who was with him?
" Come on. Hurry, before people get too curious." They started walking faster.
" What if someone from my old team sees me? They won't be happy that I dared ever show my face again." Said Amaya.
" We'll worry about that later. Right now your losing a lot of blood through that cut on your arm." Then they appeared in front of the medical room. Sasuke knocked on the door repeatedly.
" Tsunade! Tsunade!" called Sasuke. Then she opened the door.
" Oh, hello Sasuke. What can I do for you?" asked Tsunade before noticing Amaya.
" I have a friend that needs help." Replied Sasuke. Tsunade let them in and shut the door behind them. Sasuke led Amaya over to a chair so Tsunade could look at her without Sasuke having to be her crutch. Tsunade walked over and pulled up another chair.
" So from what I can tell you have a cut on your arm and something is wrong with your left leg. Anything else?" Asked Tsunade.
" No that just about covers it." Replied Amaya. Sasuke nodded. " I think my ankle is just sprained but my arm will probably need stitches." Tsunade nodded and went to get a medical kit. When she came back she took out a shot to numb Amaya's arm.
" Are you ready?" she asked. Amaya nodded her head. After Tsunade finished numbing the wound she started to thread the needle. " So may I ask your name?"
" Amaya." She replied as Tsunade started stitching her arm. When she was done she moved on to look at her ankle.
" Well I think you were right. It's just a sprain. I'm going to give you a wrap and I want you to stay off of it for a few days. Don't worry you'll be able to continue your training by the end of the week." Explained Tsunade as she wrapped Amaya's ankle. When she finished Sasuke and Amaya thanked her and left, Sasuke still being Amaya's crutch.
" So do you have anywhere to stay?' asked Sasuke as they walked out of the academy.
" Not really. I'll probably just go and sit in a cave for a few days. I've traveled for years I can live off of the environment." Explained Amaya. As soon as she had said this Sasuke stopped.
" No way!" he said. " You have a sprained ankle! I'm not going to let go get hurt again. Plus what happened to our wonderful plan of helping each other to defeat Itashi?" asked Sasuke.
" In a few day we can meet outside of the academy to start training together once my ankle has healed. That way your 'plan' still works."
" I'm not letting you live outside while you heal. You can stay with me.' Suggested Sasuke.
" Uh, not gonna happen!" said Amaya. " Just because I let you help me before doesn't mean I need your help again. I'm not going to be dependant on you for everything. If we're going to be working together you're going to have to learn that we are equals and I, there for, do not need your help." Said Amaya getting irritated.
" I know we are equals and I don't expect you to depend on me but right now you have to face facts that you need help. Look you're staying with me." Said Sasuke.
" No I'm not!" Yelled Amaya.
" YES!"
" NO!"
" YES!"
" NO!" It went on like this for a while until Sasuke sighed and said,
" Please don't make me do this the hard way."
" I'm capable of taking care of myself!" Growled Amaya.
" That's it!" said Sasuke as he picked Amaya up and threw her over his shoulder. " You're coming with me whether you like it or not!"
" LET ME DOWN!" yelled Amaya as she beat her arms against Sasuke's back. " I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" Amaya continued to struggle against Sasuke but eventually gave up. ' This is going to be interesting…' Thought Sasuke and Amaya as they approached Sasuke's house.
