Sound of Silence

by ButterflyMiko

Kuri is the mute sister of Sai, who was taken from her to the Foundation at birth. She also has dark powers that result in torment for herself and all of Konoha. With Sasuke at her side, can her soul be saved? Will she be the light in Sasuke eyes; which seem to see only Darkness?

18. Scared

"So," Kuri said slowly. "You think your kunai were stolen?"

Sasuke laughed. "He probably just lost them."

"I didn't lose them, teme!" Naruto exclaimed. "They were stolen!"

Kuri helped him into his sleeping bag. "You look really scared." She got into hers.

Reiko looked at Sasuke. "I think he's telling the truth. He looks really scared."

"That's it!" The fire jumped with Sasuke's anger and frustration. "I'll stay up tonight."

"You can't be serious!" Reiko cried.

"I have to prove you all wrong." Sasuke said, sitting down by the fire.
