Chapter Sixteen- Rainy Day


"It's raining pretty hard outside…" Lee said quietly, amazed at how much rain was falling.

"I wonder if Tenten's alright," he added, turning to Neji's bedroom door.

Kiba walked out of his room and looked around, noticing that Tenten wasn't there. He raised his eyebrow and looked at Lee who kept glancing out the window.


Sakura sat on the windowsill, watching the rain pour down quickly. She sighed, memories flooding back into her mind.

-Flashback-

Sasuke turned and looked at her, slightly irritated.

"You're… annoying," he said bluntly, walking away.

-End flashback-

Sakura chuckled and smiled slightly while she continued looking at the rain. She heard footprints approaching her, but didn't bother looking up. Sasuke took a seat on the other side of the windowsill, looking at Sakura absentmindedly. After a few moments of silence, he turned his head and looked out the window.

-Flashback-

"I killed your brother three months ago."

Sasuke sat speechless.

-End flashback-

Sasuke sighed quietly.

-Flashback-

"You're… not alone in this world. You never were, and you never will be."

Sasuke looked up at her, and he knew she was crying.

"Now, you've been given a second chance." With those last words, Amaya left Sasuke to his thoughts as she went back home.

'My… Second chance…' Sasuke looked out at the waves rippling.

-End flashback-

'A second chance… My second chance…' Sasuke thought, glancing at Sakura, who continued looking out the window, a slight frown on her face. He shakily reached forward and moved Sakura's pink hair away from her face. Sakura raised her head and looked at him, slightly curious. He got up from his seat and walked back into his room. Sakura smiled lightly as she watched him walk away.


Tenten opened the door, soaking wet.

Lee got up from his seat quickly and took the bags that Tenten was holding. Tenten shut the door quickly.

"Next time," she began. "Buy your own dinner."

Lee smiled sheepishly and nodded, putting the food in the bags away.

Tenten walked into her room, grabbed some dry clothes and went to take a shower.


Ino walked around the house, her foot now fully healed. She plopped down on the couch and began flipping through channels on the TV- after finding nothing worth watching, she turned the TV off. Chouji walked in a few minutes later, eating chips. He took a seat on another couch and continued eating. Ino sighed, still sitting in boredom.

A few minutes later, Ino got up from her seat and went in search for Shikamaru.

'Maybe he'll play Shogi with me…' she thought, knocking on his bedroom door.


Amaya, Asuma, Kakashi and Gai sat at a table playing card games. Kurenai watched them, having nothing better to do with her time. Amaya yawned, having won a game for the fourth time. She gave her cards to Kurenai and walked up to her room, rubbing her eyes slightly. Kakashi glanced at her and continued playing cards.


Tenten walked out of the shower and glanced in Kiba's room- seeing him and Akamaru asleep.

She plopped down on the couch.

'I'm so bored… Maybe Neji will-….No, he's probably busy,' Tenten looked around, hoping to find something that would save her from boredom. She looked at a door beside the kitchen door. She raised her eyebrow.

"I've never seen that before…" she said quietly, trailing off. She got up from her seat quickly and tried to open the door.

'Aw…it's locked,' she thought, looking around. She took out a kunai and tried to pick the lock. She heard a satisfying click and turned the doorknob. Her mouth dropped as she saw a small pool inside. She walked inside slowly, looking around- her eyes widening.

Neji got up from his bed and walked out the door. He noticed Tenten walking into a door by the kitchen he had never noticed before. Tenten turned around and noticed Neji leaning against door, his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"I've never noticed this room before," Tenten said, continuing to look around.

"Neither have I," Neji said, walking forward. They continued looking around the room.


Ino looked down at the board, wondering where she should move next. She resisted the urge to scratch her head in confusion.

'I'm lost… What was his last move?!'

Shikamaru looked at Ino, slightly amused. Ino shakily moved a piece forward.

"I win," Shikamaru said bluntly. Ino looked at the board, surprised.

"It's not fair playing against a genius," Ino said, crossing her arms and pouting.

Shikamaru smirked slightly.


Hinata lay down in her bed, bored. She sighed, her white eyes gazing up at the ceiling. Her thoughts raced back to what happened yesterday. She blushed and giggled quietly, grabbing her pillow and holding it tightly.

Naruto sat on his bed, looking around. His hitai-ate lay on the table by his bed neatly. He ran his hand through his naturally spiky hair. He allowed himself to fall back on his bed. He smiled as Hinata's face entered his mind.

'Hinata-Chan…'


"Tenten, be care-"

"Ah-!"

Neji tried to grab Tenten's hand before she fell in the water, but it was too late.

"Tenten-?!"

Tenten swam to the surface quickly. Neji glared at her slightly as she grinned.

Neji had his hand out-stretched in front of him, waiting for Tenten. She took his hand as he stood up. Tenten held his hand tight and pulled him into the water as he lowered his defenses. Neji's eyes widened as he felt the warm water engulf him. He swam to the surface quickly and glared at Tenten, who began giggling. He smirked and splashed some water at Tenten's face. She stopped giggling immediately and glared at him. She then grinned and splashed some water in his face as well. He began chuckling lightly along with Tenten.

Kiba stopped in front of the door with Akamaru on his head. He looked at Tenten and Neji strangely.

Neji and Tenten glanced at each other. Tenten's eyes widened.

"Wait, Kiba- it's not what you think!"

Kiba grinned.

"Yeah, sure…" he replied, walking away.

Tenten got out of the water quickly with Neji close behind. They ran into their own bedrooms quickly.


"Alright, best two-out-of-three," Ino said. Shikamaru raised his eyebrow. After playing shogi for the third time, Ino and Shikamaru decided to play rock-paper-scissors. Shikamaru sighed and nodded. They both continued playing games in his room.


The day passed by quickly and most people lay asleep in their beds quietly.


-Dream-

Amaya looked around at the dead bodies on the floor. She held her head and dropped to her knees. Tears began falling to the ground silently. She heard screams echoing loudly.

"I'm sorry…" she muttered continuously.

"You couldn't save any of them. What kind of shinobi are you?"

Amaya looked up into the crimson eyes of Itachi.

Amaya watched as he killed her father without mercy. She cried silently, blood spraying on her clothes and face.

-…….-

Itachi lay on the ground. Amaya looked at him, her eyes full of pain.

"You're… making a mistake…." Itachi said quietly, trailing off.

Amaya held back her tears with difficulty. A sob escaped her as she watched her childhood friend lay before her in a pool of blood. She held her hand up to her chest and closed her eyes tightly.

"I'm not making a mistake for killing Uchiha Itachi… Because I'm letting Itachi-Kun go…" Amaya said quietly, dropping to her knees beside Itachi. Itachi closed his eyes, realization hitting him. He was going to die, and now no one would be able to save him. He smiled faintly as he opened his eyes- his dark eyes full of sadness, pain, but a little happiness. He smiled faintly. Amaya closed her eyes once more. She opened them to reveal the Sharingan.

Moments passed in silence- a cry of pain could be heard, followed by more silence. Amaya smiled slightly as she fell to the ground, slipping into unconsciousness.

-End Dream-

Amaya sat up in bed immediately, cold sweat dripping down her face. She closed her eyes before opening them and looking out the window. It stopped raining and the moon hung high in the sky. Amaya got out of bed and opened a small bag by her bed. She took out a small photo of her, Sasuke and Itachi. She ran her fingers over the picture gently, as if it was the most fragile thing in the world. She smiled faintly and tucked it back into her bag. She crawled back into bed, and fell into a dreamless sleep.


I don't remember what you call rock-paper-scissors in Japanese… Anyway- I hope you liked this chapter- Review please!
