Chapter 7: The Unexpected Answer
"I. AM. NOT. A. STUPID. FANGIRL!" Kameko said with her teeth clenched. She quickly raised her arm, wincing at the pain she felt in her sore arm. She was still recovering. Ignoring the pain, she swung her arm at the raven haired boy. Sasuke easily grabbed her arm. It wasn't that hard to do, Kameko was, after all, injured. Kameko struggled a little to loosen his grip on her arm, but she stopped when she saw Sasuke staring at her.
Sasuke's heart raced. He started to inch closer and closer to his female roommate; still holding onto her. Now Kameko's heart was beginning to beat fervently. A part of her told her to lean forward, but resisted that urge, scared of what was to happen. Sasuke closed his eyes and still moved forward towards Kameko.
Then he kissed her...
Kameko was staring wide-eye at her roommate. She was at a lost for words. Her heart still beated quickly. What was happening?
Sasuke questioned himself thoroughly. What was he doing? and more importantly why? Sasuke, regaining his normal behavior and his right mind, pushed Kameko away, dropping his grip on her arm in the process. Sasuke then turned around on the bed. His back was now facing the still wide-eyed Kameko.
Snapping back to her normal self, Kameko spoke and pointed a finger at Sasuke. "FANBOY!"
Sasuke turned around glaring. he was about to respond with a denial, but instead, he smirked. This caught Kameko off guard. Sasuke sat up and crossed his arms. "I was only teasing. Besides, you probably liked it, so, you're the fan.
Kameko opened her mouth, but no words came out. So, she scowled. Sasuke turned to see her scowling face. He smirked again and then laid down. Closing his eyes to rest.
"Just you wait, Sas-gay," Sasuke's eyes shot open at the moment Kameko insulted him. he turned to glare at her. "We wil see who's the fan after I beat your ducky-butt in our match when we are back in Konoha."
"Hn.." Sasuke smirked again. He turned to his side and closed his eyes. He licked his lips smiling without even knowing why he did what he just did and finally fell asleep.
Kameko, however stayed up. She stared at the ceiling and let out a huge sigh. She couldn't shake off this feeling that she has. She raised her hand to touch her lips. A faint tingling sensation still lingered on them from when Sasuke kissed her. When fatigue finally caught up with Kameko, she fell into a deep sleep, smiling.
"Hey, you baka, get up." Kameko opened her eyelids just enough to see that it was only Sasuke telling her to get up. Kameko sat up and ran her fingers through her hair, exposing her other eye before her bangs fell back into place. "It's time to go." said Sasuke as he turned to leave out the door.
Kameko sighed and got out of bed. As she was packin her things she mumbled to her self, "geez...you kiss me and then act as a total jerk...I really am going to kick your butt." Kameko finished packing and headed out the door.
"Morning Kameko-chan!" yelled the hyperactive blond.
"Morning and hey Sakura." said Kameko.
Sakura widened her eyes. "Oh..hi Kameko."
"Let's gooooooo!!" Naruto marched on forward, but everyone else still stood where they were. Naruto turned around. "huh? Come on guys!"
"Wait..." Then Tazuna appeared, along with inari and his mother. Then team 7 and the family headed off. Moments after they arrived at the bridge. The head of the family, Tazuna, faced team 7. "Thank you For all that you have done. Without your help this bridge would have never been finished. This really is, the great Naruto Bridge." Said Tazuna with a chuckle.
"Nani?!"exclaimed an excited Naruto. "Don't worry gramps, I will live up to this! Daaattteeebaaaayooooo!" The hyperactive blonde ninja jumped into the air with glee.
Kameko smiled. "Way to go Naruto. You did well."
Sasuke saw Kameko congratulating Naruto, not him. He then eyed Naruto. Wait, what was he thinking? Why would it bother him if Kameko acknowledged Naruto and not him? Sasuke ignored those questions and spoke. "Hn." Sasuke then stormed ahead. "Let's go." He ordered as he turned to face the rest of the team. The rest of team 7 finished their goodbyes and followed Sasuke. Once again, they started their journey home.
The sun was setting and Konoha was now visible to the returning team. The hyperactive blonde hollered and screamed yahoos every three seconds. The rest of the team were just glad to be near home.
"Yahooooo!" shouted Naruto for the millionth time.
Sakura, annoyed by Naruto scolded him. "Shut-up Naruto!"
"Ya, you loser." spat an also annoyed raven haired kid.
Sakura stared at her beloved Sasuke-kun and blushed. He had never agreed with her before. Seeing this Kameko rolled her eyes and spoke. "What's wrong Sas-gay are you still upset that Naruto was recognized as great and you weren't? Well, news flash! You never really were great!"
Sakura quickly came to her Sasuke's defense. "You better shut-up Kameko. You know Sasuke's the best! Cha!" said the pink konichi.
Sasuke clenched his fists. It wasn't really the fact that Naruto actually managed to do something right, but that Kameko...Sasuke sighed in frustration. "Be quiet Baka."
Kakashi watched all this and sighed. "Didn't you guys have enough blood during our past mission?"
The genin huffed and went their separate ways. Naruto following Sakura towards the eastern part of Konoha, and Sasuke and Kameko heading west. Kakashi sweatdropped and also headed home.
Sasuke and Kameko walked angrily next to each other. Actually, only if you considered three feet of space between them being next to each other. Silence was all that was heard.
They were about to part before Kameko muttered something. "Tomorrow. 6 AM We will see who is better."
"Hn." That was all that was said between the two. They both went home knowing that they will need to rest for a battle ahead.
Sakura held her head down in deep thought. What's going on with Sasuke and Kameko? She didn't tell anyone this, but she saw, at the battle, touch Kameko's face. It was a side that Sakura never saw. But why did he do that? And why did it seem that he was trying to secretly do it without anyone seeing?
Could it be...?
No. It was only because he thought she was dead. Sakura sighed in frustration. She then decided to ask Sasuke herself.
Kameko arrived at her house and slid open the door to enter in. She walked into her room and threw her pack onto the floor. She sat on her bed and sighed. Kameko turned to her nightstand and grabbed the picture of her family. "Mom...Dad...Brother....."whispered Kameko. "I'm sorry if I made you guys worry. I will get stronger, and I will avenge you guys. No matter what."
Kameko set the picture down an flopped onto her bed. She turned her head out to the window. The moon was shining brightly. She sat up and walked out her bedroom door. She passed throughout the rest of her home and waked out her front door. Although she knew she needed to rest, she just couldn't. Kameko walked along the road to the training grounds. It was around eight at night.
Kameko srolled around staring at the sky. She took a deep breath and sat onto the ground, once again looking at the night sky. Kameko's hair was blown into the air by a chiling breeze. A dark figure was approaching.
Kameko sensed someone. She stood still where she was, but she was ready for an attack. The dark figure walked towards Kameko in a slow manner. The figure's hand stretched out towards the young konoichi.
Kameko whirled around and caught the creeping figure. Looking closely at who it was she dropped the hand realizing that she was no threat at all. Kameko sat back down. "Oh, Sakura."
"Gomen. I didn't mean to startle you." Sakura apologized with her head facing down.
"What are you doing here?" stated Kameko flatly.
"Sasuke..." she mumbled.
"What? did he turn you down again? He's not worth it. Sakura, he's nothing but a loser."
"No! I'm just going to ask him something." She said hastily.
"Don't be disappointed when he says no." Kameko said as she stood up.
"Hmph." Sakura stomped away towards Sasuke's house.
"What's up with her?" Kameko asked outloud. "O well." Kameko then walked home.
"Geez..." mumbled Sakura. "She didn't have to be so mean." Sakura finally reached the place where Sasuke lived and knocked on the door. No one answered. "Sasuke..."she called out.
"What are you doing here." Spat Sasuke from behind.
This startled Sakura. "AH!"
Sasuke sighed.
"Um...I...I wanted to ask you something."
"No"
"Huh?" Sakura asked.
"I don't like you. You are annoying. I will not go out with you."
"oh..."Sakura said, a little depressed. "Wait, that's not what I wanted to ask." Sasuke looked at her with suspicion. Sakura continued. "I wanted to ask if...if you like Kameko."
Sasuke stood there. What kind of question is that? He wondered. "N...No. Of Course not."
Sakura smiled a little and then frowned at the thought that came to her mind. "Then what about...when you thought she was dead you...you...tried to touch her face.."
Sasuke opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He quickly turned his face to the side. Not wanting to show his face. "Hn. As if..." he said.
Sakura quickly rejoiced. "Oh Sasuke-kun! I knew you wouldn't like her! I..."
"Leave." Spat Sasuke.
"Huh?" asked the pouting Sakura.
"You are being annoying, now leave."
"Oh...ok." Sakura then left with her head between her legs. "I got turned down again."
Sasuke sighed and entered into his home. "I thought no one saw...wait, saw what? nothing happened." Sasuke sighed again and then went into his room. "It's not possible, I can't like her. Love will ust get in the way of my goal. But then again, her wanting to kill itachi is already in the way so.....No. Tomorrow I will fight and I won't lose, I will be the one to kill Itachi.......but, what if we........" Sasuke grunted out of frustration. He then got out nd started to walk to the training grounds, ready to fight.
The moon was still out, the sun was rising and the air was crisp. Kameko walked slowly to the training grounds. The wind blew and her hair flew away from her face. She sighed. On the other side of the lake was Sasuke Uchiha. He too was walking, and anticipating the battle that was going to happen. The two genin met at where their two paths meet. They both looked at each other and glared. They would not let the other destroy their dream to kill itachi.
The two arrived at the training grounds and stood three feet from each other, still glaring.
"Ready to get your ass kicked, ducky-butt?"
"Hn." Sasuke smirked and felt his hand twitch in excitement to fight. "Fire Style: Fireball jutsu!"
Kameko gracefully and easily dodged with a flip. "Haha...my turn. Kameko made some hand signs and jumped into the air. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Immediately five shadow clones circled around Uchiha.
"Hn, your stupid trick from Naruto won't work...Sharingan!" Sasuke's eyes turned red. He looked around, but he didn't spot the real Kameko. They were all fake.
WACK! "Haha...well, it just did. You were so overconfident that you didn't look directly behind you."
"Hn."
Kameko made more hand signs. "Waterstyle: Fox Wolves!" Five water fox-like wolves sped towards Sasuke. As expected, he easily dodged them, but Kameko only did that just because. Kameko did some more hand signs.
"Waterstyle: Watereball!" A huge waterball shot out swirling from Kameko's direction. Even with his Sharingan, Sasuke was surprised at the attack, resulting in him getting hit. Kameko laughed.
Sasuke stood up and wiped the water from his face. He grunted. Kameko was still laughing holding her stomach. Sasuke glared at her. He then apperead behind kameko. Kameko turned around and blocked the incoming kick. Kameko tried to punch Sasuke, but he grabbed her arm. Kameko tried to pull her arm out while stepping backwards, but she then tripped over a rock. Sasuke, wjo was still holding her arm, fell on top of Kameko.
The two were staring at each other with their hearts racing. Kameko could feel Sasuke's warm breath on her face. He leaned closer to Kameko breathing,, "What if we....together........"
Kameko stared "What?" Sasuke leaned in closer, kissing Sasuke realized what he was doing, he rolled off of Kameko and sat up.
"We are supposed to be fighting to see who will kill itachi. We can't work together or be together" He yelled in frustration. Kameko sat up and faced Sasuke.
"Why not?!" Kameko was surprised at the words that shot out. be together? Why did i just...she thought.
Sasuke looked at Kameko. Kameko continued to speak, "Why can't we? We can both kill Itachi and we can both avenge our clans. Why can't we?" Kameko crawled to where Sasuke was.
"Hn." grunted Sasuke. Kameko looked down to the ground, but then Sasuke grabbed her, pulling her in, embracing her. "Fine" he whispered.
