Chapter 2: Surprise!

He growled inwardly, flicking his wet bangs out of his eyes. Sure, he was strong. He was a prodigy. He was the number 1 genin out of his graduating class. Now, at 18, he was a world-reknowned jounin listed in ever possible bingo book imaginable to the human race.
He was Uchiha Sasuke.
So why was he wading in dirty, slimy sewer water on a pathetic D-rank mission that even a genin could complete without any problems?
To top it all off, he was stuck with her. The girl that kept on chattering endlessly with her stupid talk. Sure, she was a respected kunoichi everywhere she went. She had killer looks and dangerous strength (literally).
She was Haruno Sakura.
And she was also giving him a headache.
"I mean, look at this! Why'd they send jounin to clean out sewers?! Even genin can do that."
Okay, sometimes he agreed with her -
"God, the stench is going to stay for at least a couple of weeks, think of how airheaded the Pig's going to be..."
- and sometimes she just needed to shut up. Seriously.
"I'm missing valuable training with Tsunade-shishou..."
Yes, he could be kicking Naruto's butt to kingdom come but -
"... and today was supposed to be movie night with the girls! Just my luck!"
Well... he was going to say he was missing valuable training and... training.
See what he meant? She distracted him. He picked up some sewer slime with a grimace and tossed it in the oversized garbage bag he was given.
"Sasuke-kun, are you even listening?"
"Hn." Yes. The answer came out of his mouth automatically.
"Tch. Doesn't seem like it." She stopped picking up garbage from within the polluted water for a moment to glare at him.
He blinked. She actually thought it meant yes... which was... surprisingly... correct.
"Sasuke-kun," A hand was waved in front of his face. "You're spacing out."
"Hn." I am not. Uchiha Sasuke does not space out. He goes into deep thought.
"Yes you are, Sasuke-kun. I'm a medic."
He stared blankly at her. "Hn..." What does that have to do with anything?
She rolled his eyes, as if she were explaining to him the fundementals of the shinobi code of conduct. "I can observe your eye movement."
"Hn." Whatever. Get back to work.
"Che. Just saying..." She glared at him for a moment before going back to stabbing floating garbage with a kunai and shoving it in the garbage bag.
She really did fascinate him. The only person that could understand his monosyllabic language was the Hyuuga because both (kind of) shared the same language.
But... her of all people...
Still, she was a smart and sharp kunoichi from the beginning.
"I'm just smart like that, Sasuke-kun."
His head snapped up, eyes narrowing as her own eyes twinkled.
Maybe she was psychic. Maybe that Yamanaka girl taught her some mind jutsu, and with her perfect chakra control she was able to pull it off.
"No, I'm not psychic Sasuke-kun."
He blinked. "Hn." Whatever...
She merely smiled mysteriously. "Whatever you say, Sasuke-kun... Whatever you say."
That Haruno Sakura was something alright, understanding his monosyllabic language. She surprised him.
He went back to wondering and doing his job.
And for two high-ranking jounin, they didn't notice the small ripples in the water...
...until the snake struck, biting Sakura right above her knee.
She yelped, dropping her kunai right on top of the snake's head. Thin, blood-coated fangs came out from her right knee and the snake dropped into the water with a small splash.
"Ow..." She squeezed at the skin above the bite, and blood oozed out of the two small holes.
"Stay still."
She looked up in surprise at the Uchiha, whose eyebrows were creased in concentration.
He picked her up by the waist almost effortlessly, placing her on the narrow ledge at the edge of the sewer.
Then what he did next actually made her wonder if this was the same Uchiha Sasuke she had stalked many years ago.
He grabbed her knee, squeezed some more blood out (she winced), brought his lips near the bite, and started sucking at the blood.
Her eyes widened and her face reddened as he lifted his head and spat some blood out. "S-Sasuke-kun..."
He made eye contact with her for a split second before resuming what he was doing. "Hn." Shut up.
Being the obedient kunoichi she was, she remained quiet.
Surprise! Uchiha Sasuke finally melts and shows some chivalry!
Wait until she told the Pig about this.
When he was done, he wiped some blood from off the corner of his lips. "Hn..." That's disgusting.
"Sasuke-kun..."
He looked down at his partner for the mission because he was at least a head taller than her. "Hn." What.
"Thank you..." Shyly she reached out and wiped some near-dry blood from his cheekbone.
"Hn." Yeah, you're welcome.
After all, when would Uchiha Sasuke ever act like this again? Never.
"But you know..."
"Hn." What is it?
"That snake... it wasn't poisonous."

Alright. So here's my blight.
The chuunin exams.
Not the FFN one. The wayoftheninja one.
Yeah, laugh all you want. I can hear you from wherever you're living from.
But see, to pass the exam, I need to refer or whatever (which has given me inspiration for a horror oneshot as chapter three because I'm annoyed at the admins for making this exam harder than the past three).
HELP MEEEEE!!! Help this poor loser hobonin
But kiddies, don't rush to join the site all at once! )
Because I've decided to be a medic on the site, I need to stay genin and take the exams AGAIN. Which pisses me off even more. (Wow, this place is influencing my writing.)
JOINJOINJOIN!!! www(dot)wayoftheninja(dot)org!
I'll love you forever and ever and ever D
