"Suiren if I catch you again im going to tie your hands together and push you off this cliff." I twitched at his threat. Kakashi wasn't the type to just say something and not go through with it if push came to shove. I pouted, "But sensei." I stood up from my hidden spot behind a rock. Of course I was spying, the one thing he told me not to do. Sasuke glared at me, hard and if he wasn't huffing and puffing im sure that he would come over here and punch me himself for interfering with his training for the third time today. After I saw those sparks and heard that sound I knew I had to learn it.

He was practicing a new jutsu which wasn't fair because I hadn't learned any new jutsus since I started my training. I looked at the large holes that Sasuke had put in a huge boulder. I was jealous. "This jutsu isn't for you. Or did we forget the incident with that spark?" I caught the smirk on Sasuke's face and my own turned red. My stupid face had a mind of its own. "But that was different." I stomped my foot.

The kid took a sip of water and sat back down. There were already 2 large holes from that jutsu. "Can I just see it?" Kakashi sweat dropped, "NO you can't. Besides Sasuke is done training for today." I growled softly. "I just get him to show me later." I mumbled. He choked on water beside me and I smirked. "No i wont." My lips fell into a frown, what a little jerk. "And why not?" He closed his canteen and wiped his face on his sleeve. "Because you went to the hospital last time and HE almost killed me."

"Hmph. Scaredy cat." He shook his head not even affected by my words, "You're so annoying. It's not going to happen." What. A . Jerk. I tipped toed over to Kakashi and his eye closed. "No." I frowned. "But i didn't even say anything yet." He sighed pulling his orange book out. "This jutsu isn't for you. Ill teach you something else tomorrow." I slapped my forehead, now it wasn't just about learning something new I wanted to see that jutsu. I had to.

Walking back a few feet I turned on my Sharingan. I would make him show me. One of them was going to. My hands came together and when the thought crossed my mind they twitched, almost remembering what happened last time. Boar, Ram, Snake, Horse, Dragon.

"Lightning style: Earth Flash!" My hands pounded into the floor. Sparks, thick and electrifying spreading out in front of me only stopping at Kakashi's toes. I couldn't help but let a smug smile hit my face. I ignored the fact that the jutsu drained double the amount of chakra my fire ball or raging waves did. I still was able to do it and I didn't pass out.

Kakashi eyed the spot on the floor in front of him before looking up at me. "I'm only going to say this one more time. This jutsu isn't for you." My lips parted and my cheeks puffed out. I could feel the red starting to come back and I wanted to bury my face in the dirt. "How am I supposed to be strong if some jutsu's aren't for me? What if I want to learn all of them, every last one?" He sighed knowing this conversation was far from over. I needed to understand. Putting his book back in his vest pocket he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Look, it is amazing that you have taught yourself to do that but even though you aren't showing it you drained a lot of chakra with it." I crossed my hands over my chest.

"You need to train smarter. You need to master everything you can within your own elemental styles before you go trying to learn others and you haven't done that yet." I pressed my lips into a thin line. "Be honest with me for a second, how many water jutsus do you know?" I thought about it for a second and started counting them on my fingers. "I know water clone, black rain, raging waves, hidden in water ..." I stopped, I didn't even know enough to count on two hands. "And how many fire style?" I gulped thinking about it again, "Fire ball, Dragon flames, Phoenix flower ..." Jeeze. I knew even less fire then I did water. I rubbed the back of my neck and my head hung low. "Don't be discouraged. Most people find jutsus they like and stick with them. It is great you want to learn but until you can perform and execute effectively ten water and ten fire you shouldn't try to learn any other elements."

Twenty jutsus, he wanted me to learn twenty before I could learn any more lightening styles, "Challenge accepted." I stretched my fingers a bit and took a few steps back, my Sharingan on and ready, "So what are you showing me first?" He slid off the rock before standing up and rubbing the back of his head, "You really aren't going to leave me alone with this are you?" I shook my head there was no way.

I had completely ignored the fact that Sasuke was sitting there watching me intently. Was he listening in on the whole conversation? I shook my head, at this point I didn't even care. "Alright I'm going to show you one that will take you a while to master. First I need you to hit me with the fire ball." I cocked an eyebrow but shrugged my shoulders. "Okay." I put my hands together and went through the signs, "Fire style: Fire ball Jutsu!" I didn't make a super large one but it was still pretty big.

Boar. Dog. Ram. "Water style: Ripping Torrent!" I watched water start to swirl in his hand. I blinked and watched waves of water shooting out at high speeds putting out my fire ball. "Now watch again." He said putting his hands together. Boar. Dog. Ram. "Water style: Ripping Torrent!" I again watched the water appear and circle his hand; he turned toward the edge of the cliff and a massive wave, bigger than any fire ball I could produce shot forward and down the mountain. My mouth hung open. That was a lot of water. "At first your probably not going to produce as much water, especially if you aren't by a water source and you need to be cautious because of the force of the -."

"Water Style: Ripping Torrent!" I ran through the hands signs before he even finished talking. A swirl of water started to form in my hand and only a small stream shot forward. What caught me off guard was the force of the water pushing me back, "Damn it!" I yelled when I slid right off the ledge. For a moment I just let myself free fall. The wind slicing through my cheeks, when my eyes shot open I was closer to the ground then I wanted to me. I forced chakra to my hands and used my Sharingan to try and slow things down. My heart thumped when it wasn't working. Was I out of chakra?

I took a deep breath and tried again but I had to shut off my Sharingan or I was going to pass out. And this is how she died was all that passed through my mind. I blinked and tensed my muscles when I thought I was making impact with the floor but it never came.

"See annoying." I sighed in relief when Sasuke' spoke. He gripped one arm around my waist and the other hand holding on to the side of the rock with chakra. We were only a few feet from the ground and I couldn't help but crack a small smile. He hauled us all the way back and when I looked at Kakashi he just sat there with his book in his hand. I just laid down, my back flat against the floor. Sasuke sitting not far from me. He must have been just as pooped as I was. "You go through a whole morning of train, drain stupid chakra trying to impress me with some lightening and then don't listen when I am explaining to you a new justu". My sensei sighed softly but his eye sparkled in a way that made me smile.

"Sorry sensei." I said curling up into a ball. I knew that I probably should be listening to him but my eyes were getting heavy. "Are you even listening to me?" I nodded my head through shut lids. "Just five more minutes and I'll try again."

My eye opened to a dark purple sky. I pulled my bed roll closer to me and inhaled. This isn't mine. I sat up quickly and looked around. Kakashi was leaning against a rock with a new book in hand and Sasuke was eating in his usual spot. I must have slept through dinner. I looked down and I was right, this wasn't my bed roll. "Hello sleeping beauty." I cracked a smile at Kakashi and they looked over to Sasuke. "Where is my bed roll?" He rolled his eyes." You pushed it off the ledge with your stream of justice." He took a bite of an apple he had.

"And you didn't go get it for me?" His brow cocked up. "No. How should I know where it went?" I sighed, what an ass. I slipped out of his bed and stretched, my muscles ached and I was still pretty low of chakra. I shoved a ration pack down my throat and drank some water. By the time I was done stars had started to come out. I sighed again. There was no way I was going to be able to find the damn thing. At least not tonight.

"Kakashi-sensei? Do you think it would be alright if I went to meditate at that stream tomorrow? I can fill up any empty canteens when I go." I knew it had been only two days since we were last there but it had been longer since I meditated on moving water. He glanced over at me putting his book down in front of him. "I guess that will be fine." That was great news. "You need to take Sasuke with you though." That was horrible news. "You want me to take Sasuke. To meditate? I just want to be sure I'm clear on what you're saying here." I was pretty sure I heard a hn come from Sasuke general direction.

"I'm telling you if you are going that far out into the valley you need to take someone with you." I rolled my eyes, regretting this whole idea. "I'll think about it." How was I supposed to meditate with the dumb ass there? He was more distracting then I don't know what. "No, go. I know Gai does a lot of meditation training and so you are probably behind. You need to keep up your chakra control." He eye balled me and then my neck. I knew exactly what he was implying. He didn't want me to loss control of the purple chakra I kept wound up tight. I rolled my eyes, "Fine. Fine."

"Well im off to bed kids." I gave him a two finger salute when he turned in. I turned to face the fire. Sasuke was leaning back on a rock looking at the stars. Even though I had only woken up a little while ago I still had to yawn. I got on to my feet and took to the rock I loved; it gave me the best view of the sky and the stars where bright tonight.

"So are you planning on asking me about tomorrow?" I let me head fall back so that I could look up at him. "No, you heard Kakashi-sensei its part of my training. You don't have a choice." He rolled his eyes and hit my forehead with the back of his hand. "Im going to sleep baka." I clicked my tongue on the roof of my mouth. He stood above me for another moment. "You don't like the stars?" He glanced back down at me, "I can see them fine from my bed roll." Ugh, my bed roll. I saw a smirk form on Sasuke mouth when it clicked in my head.

"Night." He turned and left. My eyes refocused on the sky. It wasn't a big deal, one night out here on the rock, it was beautiful. Laying back played connect the dots with the stars. When this was all over I was going to miss the view. It was like eagle eyeing the world. I curled into a ball with the night breeze. I was a ninja I could deal with the cold. It wasn't that bad. There were going to be times during missions that the conditions would be worse right?

Shivering a bit I started to trace circles on the stone. I flinched when Sasuke stood over me, bed roll in hand and a frown on his face. He shook it out and laid it beside me crawling into it and moving over a bit. He didn't say a word, just looked up at sky with his arms behind his head. I sat up and looked over at him but he made no eye contact. My brows furred together when he flipped the bed roll open. I hesitated for only a second before I shimmed inside next to him instantly being surrounded by his warmth. "Thanks." I whispered. For second I remembered the time he had fall asleep in my room. Bumps rose to my arms again.

"Don't expect me to just come to your rescue. I wont always be around." I rolled my eyes and turned on my side looking into the darkness. "I don't need rescuing." He snorted a laugh and I was glad for the darkness so he wouldn't see the red on my cheeks. "Oh yea so you just wanted to eat dirt today?" I felt him shift in the bed roll. "I was just testing your reflexes. You almost failed." I couldn't help but smile. "Hn." He muttered tugging softly at the end of my braid. I had to admit he was always nicer to me at night time, well nice was relative. During the day it was always glares and snide remarks.

"Can I ask you something?" My tongue stung. I asked before I could talk myself out of doing it. "You just did." I rolled my eyes at his comment. "When the exams are over will we go back to being a team like before?" For some reason I felt like we wouldn't and his split second hesitation planted seeds of doubt in my head. "Why wouldn't we?" I shrugged my shoulders. There was no reason why I felt this was I just did. There was change in the wind, I could feel it. "Im not sure. You're moodier these days than usual." I grunted when I felt two fingers jab me in my side. "You're one to talk." I laughed. He was right, I was pretty temperamental myself. I was sure it was from being stuck up in this rock with these two.

"Nothing some meditation can't fix." I snuggled into the bed roll, my eye lids were starting to get heavy. "So you're really doing that then." I nodded my head, "Yes I am. It's an import part of my training." I left out the part about trying to work my way through the chakra gates. It was something that I didn't even want to mention to Kakashi-sensei. Just in case he had something negative to say about it. I was going to do it no matter what he said. "Better sleep then." He was right. "Yea. Yea." I murmured.

It was quiet and all I heard was the soft breeze hitting us, the stars the only witness to our conversations. My mind started to drift off. I turned over barely able to see where Sasuke was but I felt his heat and hear his breathing. I tucked my chin in, my forehead touching him but I didn't care. I was to comfortable to care.

"Good night Sasuke."

I hope you guys are enjoying the story.

To the comment from the most recent guest: Thank you for your constructive criticism. I hope you stick the story out a bit longer, I do have a plan in mind that im getting to. As far as Sasuke "being as ass to every one but her" That 's not my intention. Is he nicer to her? Yes. I try to make it clear that its mostly impart to her last name being Uchiha. As far as Sasuke knows he and she, along with Itachi are the only Uchiha left so I feel like this is the only reason he would act out of character. I think that is the only relationship (friendship), pre leaving the village that could be possible between Sasuke and any OC. Will he decided not to leave the village because of her? NO. Sasuke is Sasuke after all and I will try my best to do him better justice in the future! xoxo
