CHAPTER FOUR: The Technuiqe

Sakura sighed and crushed her chin into her palm. Next to her Ino sat behind the counter clipping the stems off of some roses. They were hanging out in Ino's parent's flower shop, mostly because the day was becoming increasingly boring and much too hot. A heat wave had just struck Konoha and everyone was suffering. Except maybe Sasuke, because everyone knew how much he loved heat and fire.

"What's wrong?" Ino asked after a few good minutes of complete silence. There wasn't that much customers thanks to the heat wave. Who wanted to go to a flower shop suring a heat wave anyways?

"Nothing." Sakura said, lowering her eyes from Ino's gaze. Over the years they had seen through their differences and became friends once again. It helped that Ino had given up on Sasuke and was currently dating the lazy but dependable Shikimaru. Said boy had currently fallen asleep on some sacks of potting soil at the back of the shop.

Wherever Ino was, it was gauranteed that Shikimaru would be right next to her; asleep, but with her.

"Don't lie." Ino said with a frown, tapping Sakura on the head with her shears. "Everytime you sigh like that I know there's something wrong. Is it Sasuke again?"

Sakura didn't reply, giving Ino the chance to figure it out herself.

"I don't know." Sakura sighed suddenly, cutting off Ino's words. "He just doesn't seem to notice me at all."

"That's not true." Ino said loudly. "He talks to you a lot now. Ever since Naruto brought him back he's been really nice to everyone. Actually, it's getting really creepy."

"That doesn't change the fact that he still doesn't return my feelings." Sakura whinned, slamming her forehead on the counter. Ino frowned, protecting her precious vase of roses from tipping. "He's so, ignorant."

"He knows you like him." Ino stated, and Sakura shrugged. "So maybe, it wasn't meant to be."

Sakura's shoulders shook slightly and she buried her face in her arms.

"Maybe." Sakura whispered. "But it still hurts."

"Oi!" Cried a voice from behind them. When they looked Shikimaru was on the cold hard floor with two large bags of potting soil over him, cursing. Ino giggled and ran out from behind the counter, bending down low to help Shikimaru escape the soil.

"What am I going to do with you?" Ino sighed once all bags were off. Shikimaru gave her a tiny flustered grin and leaned back against the soil.

"Kiss me?" He sudgested. Ino rolled her eyes and tapped his head firmly, standing up.

"Later." She giggled and walked back to Sakura.

Sakura sighed and let her head fall back to her arms. She wanted what Ino and Shikimaru had. She wanted a relationship. Even Naruto had found someone. If only...

Naruto grinned at the display.

"Come on Hinata." He urged, grabbing said girls hand and pulling her into the store. They spent the next half hour trying on clothing. Hinata blushing madly when Naruto tricked her and came out in nothing but undwear.

When they were finished their little shopping trip, they exited the store with less then they had entered and walked hand in hand towards the market for some lunch. But just before they made it, much to Naruto's dislike, Kakashi popped up out of nowhere and almost gave Hinata a heart attack.

"Yo." Kakashi stated, hands in his pockets.

"What do you want?" Naruto growled as Hinata had a coughing fit.

"Why aren't you at the hospital with Sasuke?" Kakashi speculated and gestured to their linked hands. Naruto shrugged.

"He told me to leave." Naruto said simply. "It's not like I did much anyways. I just lended my jacket, Sasuke was the one who carried her back."

Kakashi frowned as Naruto and Hinata walked away. He turned his eyes towards the direction of the hospital. He did something he didn't usually do. He bit the inside of his cheek in worry.

"Sasuke..." Kakashi muttered. He isn't supposed to be alone with her...

The dark clad figure watched with amusement as the small city went about it's day. Family's trudged through the street, couples walked hand in hand, little children played with rubber balls and skipping ropes. Shinobi and Chunin ninjas walked everywhere, their headbands glinting in the sun as the heat wave took over much of the city.

The figure shifted, his dark red eyes grinning. This happy little city wouldn't be happy for long, his secret weapon was almost in place. Just a few more weeks to prepare...

Then Konoha, village hidden in the leaves, would cease to exist. A new Era was dawning.

Sasuke glared at Mayu, his eyes almost closed from the creasing of his eyebrows. Mayu just stared, stricken with surprise. Whath Sasuke had told her seemed familiar for some reason, she just couldn't quite place it.

"Who are you?" Sasuke snapped suddenly, drawing Mayu's eyes towards him.

"I don't know." Mayu said firmly, sticking to that excuse. Because she didn' t know, couldn't...

"I think you do." Sasuke hissed darkly. He was ready to strike her, throw a kunai at her, anything to get her to remember. Why did he have that dream of her? In the dream he had been standing on the tip of a large cliff over looking miles of water, the sun begining to set. Only he wasn't enjoying a veiw, because a kunai was pressed to next and a voice was whispering in his ear.

'My weapon has finally caught you Uchiha.' The voice hissed. It wasn't familiar, not at all, but something about it sent a shock of fear through Sasuke's body. He was trapped there on the cliff. 'And now, she's going to kill you.'

Suddenly, the door slammed open and Sasuke jumped out of his flashback. Standing in the doorway was Kakashi, his eyes looking strained and even a little worried.

"Kakashi." Mayu murmured.

"Sasuke." Kakashi said, ignoring Mayu. He turned to said boy and glanced anxiously at Mayu. "I want you to come talk with me outside."

"I'm not finished in here." Sasuke said darkly.

Out of nowhere, Kakashi firmly clapped Sasuke's shoulder, squeezing painful.

"Come with me Sasuke." Kakashi growled out, his teeth clentched. Sasuke glared at his forwardness, but it wasn't often that Kakashi got so physical with his students. So Sasuke reluctantly followed his masked teacher out into the hallway. Kakashi decided against the hallway and made Sasuke follow him into an empty room nearby.

Once Kakashi was certain they were alone, he turned to Sasuke feircly.

"I don't want you near that girl." Kakashi ordered. The suddeness and brashness of his order left the room in a hushed silence, Sasuke running and re-running the comment over and over again. He didn't udnerstand, why couldn't he go near her? But he also didn't like being bossed around like that.

"I have every right to be near her." Sasuke retorted. "I brought her here."

"And maybe you shouldn't have!" Kakashi cried, shocking Sasuke into silence. Kakashi sighed and ran a hand down his weary face. "There are things about that girl that shouldn't, exist at all. It was a mistake bringing her here."

"But she could have died." Sasuke said with horror. Wouldn't Kakashi like to save a human?

"I know." Kakashi replied. "I know you tried your hardest to do the right thing, to be decent, but this girl...I'm sure you've seen her eyes correct?"

Sasuke nodded slowly, unsurely.

"Mayu has a unique ability." Kakashi said slowly, and explanaition was coming, Sasuke knew it. "It's an ability passed down from thousands of years ago. It was said to be forbiden and eventually dissapeared from te bloodlines of ninjas, but...She shouldn't have this trait, that's for sure."

"What is it?" Sasuke asked skeptically, crossing his arms.

"It's called to Kogenkan." Kakashi answered. He shifted nervously where he stood near the door, as if waiting for Sasuke to make a run for it. "It is said to be where all blood line traits come from. Including Sharingan, Bayakukan, everything."

Sasuke nodded slowly, understanding so far. He had always wondered what special teqnuiqe all the blood line traits had come from. Why they were all so similar and had something to do with the eyes.

"Mayu posseses the Kogenkan." Kakashi said in a low voice.

"What does the Kogenkan do?" Sasuke asked, a shiver running up his body as his mind came up with many scenarios. But nothing prepared him for what Kakashi said next.

"Kogenkan gives the user the ability to see into the future."

Well? I know, it's a terrible cliffy, but I just had to! I am very happy with how this chapter turned out.
