Chapter Four

When I wake up, my face is close to Sasuke's and our legs are tangled with my arm over him. He is breathing quietly. I panic and my breathing speeds up. I feel Sasuke shift a bit and I swear under my breath. How am I going to get out of this one? I have two options: trying to get out quietly without him noticing, and risk the chance of waking him up, or waking him up. I bite my lip. I try to remove my left leg from under his right leg with all my concentration when he throws his arm over me and mumbles a bit. I squeak and remain still. Shit. I try again with no victory. His grip tightens over me and he pulls me closer. My breathing becomes erratic and my senses are going haywire. I feel a strong tension in my lower stomach and feel light headed as I feel his breath on my face. I hate hormones. I try one last time to get my leg free, scared that I might do something stupid, when I hear someone clearing their throat. I look up and there is Sasuke, staring at me straight in the eyes. He smirks.

"What are you doing?" he asks coolly.

"Umm…" I stutter out, "I'm so sorry," I say pushing myself away from him. His grip tightens. I look confused up into his eyes. His eyes are a bit glazed over as he stares at me. I turn away in shock.

"I…" I begin when I Sasuke's face is not even an inch from mine. I can't believe this is happening. It must be because Sasuke is deprived of any sexual act.

I gasp as he grips on tighter. "Sasuke," I squeak out.

"Yes?" he replies, eyes focused on my lips. I'm scared to make the first move and I wait for his. He attacks my lips with his, as if craving something. They crash down hard at first and then ease up. He coaxes his tongue into my mouth by licking my bottom lip. I moan into his mouth a bit as he seizes control over me. Did he want more from last night? I mean it was just a game.

Just then we hear someone clear their throat. We break apart and look up to find Makoto and Kakashi looking at us. I shriek and push Sasuke away. He looks annoyed at the interruption. I'm breathing heavily and looking back and forth between the two senseis and Sasuke. I don't know what to say.

"We were…umm…" I begin, "completing the dare from last night," I finish in panic.

Makoto and Kakashi looked amused. Sasuke sits up and rubs his face in irritation. "Yes?" he asks the two senseis.

"Well, both of our teams are assigned a different mission to do with the same aspect," responds Makoto.

I frown. Rhianna didn't wake me up…but then again, I don't really have a problem with that.

"What sort of mission?" I ask, now composing myself.

"An escort mission," Kakashi responds.

"Escort? Isn't that B ranked?" I ask in shock.

"Er…well Tsunade couldn't find any other teams…so she chose ours for the two missions," replied Makoto with a sweat drop.

"You two have fun?" asks the pervert Kakashi finally.

"What do you mean?" I ask looking away. I get up off the bed and head past the two senseis and towards the bathroom. I had A LOT to think about. All three of their eyes follow me out of the room and I ignore them. Why the hell did Sasuke do that? Is it because he is desperate? That must be it.

I take a quick shower and change into some of Rhianna's clothes which is a red tank top with cute black shorts. I put my hair up and walk back into the room. The first thing I see is Naruto being held back from attacking Sasuke. Matt just looks sleepy and Makoto amused while I was confused.

"Bastard!" yelled Naruto trying to get out of Kakashi's grasp. Makoto sees my confusion and just says, "Naruto got his wake up call from Sasuke." I giggled not wanting to know.

Matt was about to fall back asleep when I pinched him to wake up. Rhianna comes into the room all ready and perky asking what all the commotion was for.

I don't look at Sasuke, in fear that I might get some rejection after what just happened. I felt used a bit, thinking it was only out of desperation for something sexual, which I know we are both deprived from. But on the other hand, I'm in a sense of euphoria. That was amazing.

My mind drifts back to him…the one I used to love…and I stand in the doorway. Makoto seems worried and comes over to me.

"Chels? You alright?" he asks.

I snap out of it, "Yup," I respond with a short smile. He doesn't look convinced. Only Rhianna and Matt know what happened between me and my ex. The fact that anything what we had was happening between me and Sasuke just shocked me a bit. I learn that everyone got hint of the mission while I zoned out. Everyone decides they should leave and get prepared for tomorrow.

I walk out of the house still in a contemplating mood. Matt runs to catch up to me. We don't talk on the way home and he wonders what's wrong. I run into my house and sit alone in my room with my legs curled up into my chest. I decide I cannot go back to the stages I was in when he left me and I go on a walk with my iPod on hand.

I keep walking listening to my favorite song. I decide to take the path that leads into the beautiful forest that we luckily have right next to my division. Its part of the training forest, but not directly, so usually you don't see much going on. It is a peaceful place sometimes.

I close my eyes and feel the sun on my skin. The sky looks like it may let rain come, and a slight breeze blows by. I sigh and keep walking just listening to my music, trying to forget everything. The other thing that won't leave my mind is our mission coming up. I feel unprepared and that something bad will happen. I don't know why, I just have this shiver in my spine. Then again, sometimes I get that and it was nothing.

I feel someone walking behind me. My music is blaring in my ears making it difficult to hear anything, but I have my guard up and senses acute enough to know someone is behind me. I walk normally trying to lessen suspicion. I feel a hand on my shoulder and my instinct is to turn around and I take my fighting stance immediately taking out my kunai and having it at my guard.

I see Master Edo standing there with a clearly amused smile on his face. I let down my stance and put my kunai back in the pouch and I take my headphones off and put it around my neck.

"If you listen to that any louder, you will go deaf," he states.

"Thank you," I say with a what-are-you-doing like voice.

"Walk with me?" he says holding out his arm asking me to latch on to it. I turn down my music a bit and take his arm with a smile on my face.

"May I ask why you came to find me?" I ask a few seconds into our stroll.

"Well, I was wondering why you were walking alone and…" he says looking at me, "If you would like to train a bit today."

"Okay, I have been meaning to anyway," I say with a smile.

"Good, follow me," he says turning our walking direction to a side path off the main path with our arms still linked. I giggle at his gentleman-like behavior. "Master Kakashi will be there as well, I hope you don't mind."

"What will he be doing?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Oh, well he wanted to see what you can do."

"Really? Have you seen what Matt and Rhianna can do yet?"

"Well, I have seen Rhianna's...and Matt's is coming after yours."

"Oh I see, you and Kakashi are evaluating your students one by one, so that means…"

"Yes," he cuts me off, "You will do a little duel with one of his team members."

"Who has gone of his?" I ask with us so close to our destination.

"Sakura," he simply states. Oh joy, I get one of the boys. We reach a clearing and there stands the happy Kakashi and next to him is Sasuke.

I stop and I almost make Master Edo stumble forward. My smile turns to a frown.

"What's wrong?" he asks letting go of my arm and leaning forward to my face in a whisper.

"Me and Sasuke?" I ask and he can hear the distress in my voice.

"Well, yes, would you rather duel with Naruto?" I was about to say yes when Kakashi shows up at Master Edo's side.

"Good afternoon lovely," he says, still jolly.

"Err…good afternoon Master Kakashi," I say with a little bow and he responds with a nod.

"Well let's start," he says walking back towards Sasuke who doesn't look too happy. Why do our two teachers have to be friends and weird? I sigh and decide that I will just let him win, which he was bound to do anyway.

"Alright Chels, you start first with a demonstration of what you are capable of," Master Edo says seriously but gives a wink.

I nod and begin to summon my chakra. I decide I will start with the explanation of hand seals I can perform, and then, what comes with my package.

"Well, I can use any hand seal we have learned previously such as Dragon flame jutsu and I can use a paralysis seal, as well as use a bunshin. I have studied many other hand seals as well, and I am becoming quite good even though I think Rhianna is much better. I have excellent aim with a kunai and my shuriken. I have other abilities I have been gathering and perfecting over the years, as well as they have been passed on through my generation such as the ability to heal, being from the medical side of things, which I wish to perfect. Err…I suspect you will be telling me more about myself anyway" I say with a smile and the two sensei's nod.

"Will you demonstrate?" Master Edo asks. I can feel Sasuke's eyes looking at me.

"Sure…," I say gathering up my chakra. I close my eyes and concentrate. I use a few hand signs my grandma taught me and I can feel the energy gathering in my hands as I make them into fists. I take it and slam it into the ground. The ground shakes and then splits apart like an earthquake just hit that area. Usually, like with Tsunade's strength, you have green chakra. With my bloodline, you have black.

"Your Grandmother is a very highly known and appreciated ninja around here. You indeed inherited a lot from her. You also received it from both sides of your family as well. Not only that, but you have major intelligence and advanced knowledge in hand seals which you could perform. You have a great amount of chakra at your use, and you have well enough skill in one on one combat and ninja weapon handling. You are indeed unique," Master Edo says like he has read a biography on me. I bow a bit not really knowing what to say. I'm not used to this sort of attention and compliments. I wish I was there to hear Rhianna's because I could have added on.

"Sasuke, you ready?" Kakashi asks. I remember him, and look over at him. He has his arms crossed over his chest with a calm face on leaning against a near by tree.

"Alright," he says getting up and walking by my side. I move to go where he previously was. We pass each other and there is this, I guess tension. I feel my heart twitter and I walk faster to his previous spot. I turn around and watch him.

"Alright Sasuke, begin," Kakashi says.

"I have the Sharingan passed down from my clan and I have mastered the Dragon flamed jutsu. I can use Chidori, which Master Kakashi has taught me, as well as other jutsus that involve hand seals and the use of the chakra, my ShiShi Rendan, and I am great with weapons." He says, clearly not interested in himself.

"The amazing Sasuke Uchiha; you are truly an asset. Your prodigy like skills, special techniques, and advancement in hand seals are amazing along with your accuracy and precision on using ninja weapons. You inherited the Sharingan from your clan, and you know of its potential and what will follow it. Your one on one combat proves you strong and capable and your Chidori is outstanding, though you know you must be cautious," Kakashi says in a serious, but nice tone of voice.

"If you know so much about the two of us, why bring us here to repeat what you will tell us anyway?" he asks. At this, Kakashi and Edo smile.

"We may do a joint mission, if necessary, and guess who will be partners," Kakashi says. Sasuke and I blush and the two teachers laugh.

"Would you like to show us Sasuke?" Edo asks.

"I think my Chidori will do for now," he responds with a smirk to Kakashi who returns it.

Sasuke walks to a nearby tree, away from me, but in sight of everyone there. He takes a position and I can feel his chakra gathering in his hands as he does some complex hand seals. I hear a sound of thousands of birds chirping and it's overwhelming. I can see a blue colored, lightning like energy gathering in his hands as he uses a battle cry to obliterate that tree. He shoves his hand on the tree and it looks as if it has been through hell, like a lightning bolt hit it. I hear clapping coming from the two teachers and I can't help but clap through my amazement. Wow, he is so strong. He turns to us, panting and breathing heavily, and he looks a little tired. That attack took concentration and a great amount of chakra, but proved effective. It looks like only Sasuke or the two teachers could pull that off. Sasuke walks over to the two senseis and I follow suit.

"You two ready?" Kakashi says.

"For?" I ask forgetting our true purpose of being here.

"A duel," Edo replies. Oh right, I remember now. At this I back up a bit.

"What, you can't tell me that you, a skilled ninja, doesn't want to fight?" Kakashi asks with a fake impression of shock.

"I-I just don't w-want to fight Sasuke," I say a little embarrassed. He looks at me with a smirk.

"Why?" Edo asks with a grin.

"Well, he is my friend, and I don't want to hurt him, or get hurt by him," I state looking down, when really its about this morning.

"I won't hurt you," he leans over and whispers in response. I blush a bit and glance at him before looking forward at the two teachers again.

"It's alright; it is only one on one combat; blocking and dodging. Whoever pins the other down first for three counts wins, or makes them incapable of moving," Kakashi says.

"Okay…," I meekly say. I still don't understand why they are doing this. Makoto and Kakashi mix up the rules too much. Is this even a rule?

Sasuke and I walk to the middle of the clearing and take stance. I feel nervous with my hands sweating and my stomach doing back flips. I wonder what he is feeling.

"On the count of three," Kakashi says.

"One…Two…Three…GO!" Edo yells.

Sasuke disappeared on go. I keep my guard up and my senses strong. I can feel something coming from behind and I dodge an arm that was meant to get me into some sort of lock, that's my guess. I turn around and kick up from the side with my right leg to disable him, but the figure disappears. Sasuke comes up again from behind, but this time, he was too quick and he grabs me around my waist holding me tight and holding my arms down. I struggle to get free, but it comes of no use since he only tightens his hold. Damn. I won't give up this easily. I can hear Kakashi begin to count when I take my foot and slam it onto his and I disappear. He swears at my sudden attack on his foot and doesn't see me coming from behind fast enough. I came running up to him now facing me and I jump onto him. I am practically sitting on him now with my legs and thighs holding him tight at his waist and his back and hands I have pinned to the ground. I can't believe I have the Sasuke straddled.

He smirks at this and mine disappears not knowing why. I know that this is a pathetic attempt, but I don't want to hurt him. I had him down for two counts before he uses his strength to turn the situation around. Now he has me pinned to the ground holding my arms down and gripping his thighs hard against my waist. A smirk is plastered on his face and it almost makes my heart stop. I try so hard to struggle to get free. This morning quickly rushes into my head, making me lightheaded. I almost lift myself off the ground, but he only holds tighter.

"Chelsea…I wouldn't move if I were you," he leans down and whispers into my ear. I gasp and struggle. He chuckles and lifts himself back into his original position.

Kakashi already got to three. Damn it! I sigh as Sasuke lets go of my arms and gets up off of me. I hear the teachers clapping and I can only imagine what perverted thoughts Kakashi is thinking. Sasuke stands over me while I use my elbows as support to get in a better position on the ground. He offers me a hand and I hesitate before taking it.

"Good job, the both of you!" Kakashi says patting Sasuke on the back.

"Well done you two!" Edo says putting a supporting arm around my shoulders. I know these two planned the whole thing after this morning. I growl and Makoto lets go.

"I have a question, who won, Rhianna or Sakura?" Kakashi does his Kakashi smile and responds with, "Rhianna did."

I smiled. Rhianna is as good as any other Chuunin and I love her for it, but I know Sakura has an apprenticeship with Tsunade, meaning she has the same abilities as myself, probably better.

"Well I expected a tie to be honest, but I guess Rhianna has been training more than I expected," I say proudly.

"Alright, you two are excused, great job again and remember tomorrow," says Makoto while Kakashi takes out his book. I sigh and start walking towards my house. I hope that Sasuke isn't following me. I get out of the forest and onto the path and turn to look behind me. No Sasuke. I breathe a sigh of relief and turn to walk forwards when I walk into something hard. I fall backwards to be caught. I look up and it's Sasuke. I blink in confusion, he has his arm around my waist.

"Sasuke, about this morning…" I begin.

"I shouldn't have done anything, it wasn't my place to get involved," he states stoically looking off and letting go, "my purpose is not to love but of another nature…I have to kill a certain man…and I can't let anything stop me from doing it," he states looking back at me. What? Am I going to hold him back?

"So you are calling me a burden? That I will hold you back just because YOU made out with ME?" I state angrily. I begin to march off when my wrist is seized.

"No let me go," I say trying to break away.

"That's not what I meant," he added pulling me closer to him, "I meant I can't have my emotions getting in the way of this mission. If he learns I have any bit of emotion besides revenge he will take advantage of them and use it against me."

I look at him confused. Who is he talking about? What does he want me to do about it? I sigh and look at him, relaxing myself.

"So…you are saying that…you feel something else…" I say slowly.

"I think I have some sort of attraction towards you," he finishes. I look at him wide-eyed. Well go figure after this morning. But the Uchiha Sasuke attracted to me? He must be playing with me. I got angry at this thought and broke away from his grasp.

"You know, my ex screwed me over and fucked me up and I wont let you do the same. You are telling me you can't have feelings towards me so you just have lust? Well that's all my ex wanted from me and I refuse to go down that road again," I state stomping off.

He appears in front of me as quick as lightning. "Who?"

"Who what?" I said still angry.

"Who did that?" he asks, his Sharingan on.

"His name is Joey, forget about it." All you hear from him is a tch.

"Like I can." Is he…upset over that?

"Well I have to go. Long day ahead of me tomorrow," I say trying to get away, hoping he will just drop it. Joey is a normal villager not worthy of the Uchiha's wrath.

"Chelsea…" he says looking down at me his Sharingan activated still. They start to scare me a bit.

"Sasuke?"

"I would never do that to you," he says with all seriousness.

"Right," I respond and walk around him, "That's what the last one said."

He appears yet again in front of me. "Are you comparing me to that asshole?"

"I'm saying that all guys have one thing on their mind! Sex!" I say impatiently. I want to get out of here. He smirks and steps out of my path. I look at him confusingly.

"We will see," is all he says before he disappears in a cloud of smoke.

"What the…" I say looking around. Sigh, why does everyone leave me like that. I hear rustling in the trees and I throw a kunai. Makoto pops out with kunai in hand.

"Chelsea…I heard the whole thing," he says with all seriousness.

"And…" I say starting to walk off.

He catches up. "And I want you to be careful with the Uchiha." He states it simply like it's a silly fact I should have known.

"Why?" I ask interested.

"Well, the kid isn't exactly…together, if you know what I mean."

"Not really."

Sweat drop. "Well just be careful with him, after his clan's fate, which you know about, he isn't exactly stable."

I nod my head in confusion. "Byes," he says disappearing. I sigh, yet again.

I reach home in a flurry and I go into my room passing up dinner and I get ready for bed. I am so tired mentally and physically. What a day. All I have on is a large comfy black shirt that fits me well and my underwear. I lie down on my bed and set my alarm and then I close my eyes and fall into sleep, with a lingering anxiety of my first mission tomorrow.
