Chapter 2: Grammar Wars
Well, everyone was telling me to continue. So I did.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. You know, who needs to know that anymore? NO ONE owns Naruto on FF. Unless they happen to be Kishimoto-sensei in disguise…
Suigetsu flopped to the ground as Karin huffed impatiently at him.
"Hurry up, Suigetsu!" she growled. "Don't tell me you need water again!"
"Well, I do," he replied, unfazed as he drank. "What? I'm sure you need a drink once in a while too, bitch."
"Sure, once in a while. Not every two minutes!" she retorted, ignoring his insult.
"Six," he corrected with mock politeness.
"Oh, and that makes so much of a difference."
"Of course. A whole, four minutes."
Sasuke leaned against a tree. What happened to the (almost) peace yesterday night?
"Agh! Sasuke," Karin whined, turning to Hebi's leader. "Make him move!" He rolled his eyes.
"You know how Suigetsu is. We'll just have to wait. And we need to stop by the next town to buy new coats," he added as an afterthought, eyeing the snow. Karin sighed and sat down on a convenient boulder.
After almost ten seconds, she started on Suigetsu again.
"Are you done yet?" she pestered.
"No. Me is not being done," he replied
"What?"
"See? The lack of water is rendering me incoherent," he explained, still drinking deeply.
"Be you faked, all us know," she retaliated. He raised his eyebrows.
"Is it being challenge I are sense?"
"Of course, baka."
"That are be bad not grammar."
"So?"
"That are being bad not grammar neither."
"Am yet you done?" Sasuke cut in exasperatedly. "I be wanted to reach next town today by."
The rest of the team stared at this display. He rolled his eyes.
"Well, how else be I supposing get their attention?"
"That is true," Juugo agreed, looking up from the bird in his hand.
"Fine, fine," Suigetsu sighed, strapping his water bottle back on his thigh. "Us are now go."
"Finally! Idiot is being responded!" Karin jumped up. Suigetsu followed suit, though much more slowly.
The going was painfully slug-paced. Suigetsu dragged his feet and Karin kept clicking her tongue every few seconds. Before they had been walking for three minutes, Sasuke was at his breaking point. The tongue-clicking and feet-shuffling was grating incessantly on his nerves.
"Is we being can rest now?" Suigetsu whined. Sasuke snapped, shoving Suigetsu forward as hard as he could, just as Karin turned to retort.
They crashed into each other, the weight of Suigetsu's sword pinning them to the ground. Before Sasuke could fully appreciate the damage he had done, Karin's screech nearly shattered all their eardrums.
Flinging Suigetsu off, she stalked away, wiping her mouth repeatedly on the back of her hand in disgust. The three males stared after her in a surprised silence as Juugo helped Suigetsu back to his feet. He blinked a few times, licking his lips thoughtfully.
"I never knew her lip gloss was strawberry flavored."
HAH! I POSTED BEFORE HIM!! If he doesn't post by tomorrow, I'll murder him in French class...
