Okay, so here's Chapter 16! I've gpt a little warning for this chapter. When my friend and I were first writing this, we didn't really plan on loading this story, so e went a little crazy ith it, as some of you may have seen. However, in this chapter during Amaya's POV my friend took a section from another story I wrote and out it in here as a dream that Amaya has. And that story is a total and complete lemon! So, I tried to change what she put in this, so that I don't have to change the story's rating. But if you think that it's still a little citrus-y, then I'm sorry.

Oh, and for anyone who wants to read the real chapter that was written, I'm gonna upload it as it's own story with the correct rating. So just go to my account and find it to read. If I get enough reviews on it I think I'm gonna upload the entire story that that section comes from, but I need reviews before I do that.

Okay, so I think I've got all of the warnings out of the way. So, here you go!

Kosuke's POV

I had to laugh, I really did. So when I started chuckling lightly, all three of the people around me looked at me like I had gone crazy. I can't blame them, since I was the one who had a sharp piece of metal pressed against her neck.

I looked at Amaya.

"You really think you're going to kill me, Amaya? If I remember correctly, I'm the reason why you haven't completely demolished this village yet. So you're telling me that you can't kill me just to take down this village and the people in it, but you could if it meant that you got some information on Sasuke? Wow, can you say obsessed? I thought you enjoyed that kiss that you had with him a little too much," I told her after I had gotten control over myself.

She glared at me, and I glared back.

"Idiot. I could kill you right now if I wanted to," she growled at me.

"That's the thing; if you wanted to. You don't want to," I told her, reading it in her eyes.

She grinned and then leaned in and whispered in my ear, "You know that, and I know that, but those two over there don't." She then pressed the blade harder to my neck and turned to Naruto.

"I'm waiting," she told him.

Naruto's eyes grew wide, and his chakra started to flare up. He was getting very mad.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you," Amaya said to him, "All it takes is a slip of my wrist and Kosuke here dies right in front of your eyes. You know I can do it, don't you Naruto?"

He growled at her but got his chakra back under control.

"What is it that you want to know?" he asked her, still glaring at her.

"Why did Sasuke leave the village?" she asked him.

He shrugged his shoulders.

"Probably for the same reason he left the first time; he didn't think that this village is good enough to teach him what he needs. I guess he still thinks Orochimaru can teach him more than any one here," he said.

I shuddered ever so slightly at that name, and I guess Amaya felt it because her grip loosened the slightest bit. It seems like my best friend was still there, just buried under some one new. I wanted to call out to her, to try and bring her back, but I knew it would do no good. The Amaya I knew was too far-gone to come back.

"Okay, next question; why the hell did Sasuke kiss me?!" she spat out at him.

Naruto visibly flinched and hurt flashed across his eyes.

"Oh nice Amaya," I said sarcastically to her, "Way to be sensitive to his feelings."

Her eyes flicked back to me for a second.

"Shut up," she told me.

"I don't know why he would have kissed you," Naruto replied quietly, "But…I think, I think he might have liked you. Every now and then I would see him staring at you, and he talked about you a lot. And a couple of times…when he was really drunk, he would say things like, 'She has really sexy armor, but what's even better is what is under the armor' and 'You know, her bite is as bad as her bark,' and other things like that. I guess I kind of ignored it, though. I thought that if we dated long enough, he'd fall in love with me. But now…now it's pretty obvious he wants you instead, Amaya."

Everybody was quiet, thinking over what Naruto had said.

Stupid Uchiha, I thought, how could he just use Naruto like that? That's just cruel.

I guess Amaya was thinking along the same line as me, because she turned to me and said, "See Kosuke? Now aren't glad you had me as a best friend, as opposed to that asshole?"

"Had?" I asked her, "I had you as a best friend?"

Amaya turned her head to one side.

"Well, yeah. I figured that you probably wouldn't want to be my best friend any more, after what I did," she said to me, obviously puzzled.

"Oh Amaya," I shook my head at her, "Of course I don't want to be your friend any more, but it just doesn't work like that. And as for having…had… you as a best friend over Sasuke, you aren't that much better you know. You also ditched your village and the people who cared about you. You just did it first. Or second, if you count the time before when Sasuke was with the Sound. God, that kid needs to make up his mind."

"You mean Jashin," Amaya said to me.

"What?" I asked her, having absolutely no idea what she had just said.

"Never mind," she told me.

She turned her head around, taking in the whole training ground. Naruto was once again crying, but softer this time and quieter. Hinata was standing next to him, patting his shoulder, but also keeping an eye on Amaya.

She turned back to me and said, "Well, I think I've gotten all I needed here. Later!"

She let go of my shoulders, and was about to jump away when I grabbed the sleeve of her new Akatsuki cloak. She looked back at me, surprised.

"Amaya," I told her quietly, so that the other two couldn't hear me, "Be careful. Watch your back when you fight, since I won't be there to do it for you. And don't get all high and mighty. Just because you are a strong ninja and have a demon within you, you can still be killed. Don't be. And Amaya…don't come back here. I don't want it to be a Leaf ninja who does kill you. And I don't want you to be the one to kill Leaf ninjas."

She grinned at me and rolled her eyes.

"Oh come on, Kosuke! You don't like these little meetings?" she asked me, trying to be funny. Then she said more seriously and as quiet as I had, "I won't promise I won't come back, because I still want to leave letters for you. But I will promise to be careful, and try not to be seen. Though, if I see Gai or Kakashi, then I take that back."

"Yeah thanks, by the way. Now I've got Kakashi watching me all the time," I told her.

She giggled.

"Sorry, but that's not all my fault," she said, "Just punch him out if he gets too annoying. Or take his book away from him."

"I'll remember that," I told her, rolling my eyes.

"And Kosuke…you be careful too. With that," she gestured towards my stomach, "I think of that kid as my niece or nephew, so be careful with it!"

"So do I," I told her.

I looked her in the eyes, and I saw her sadness. It was true; she was happy with the Akatsuki. Why, I didn't know and probably never would. But right now, saying good-bye to me, I could see she hurt about as much as I did.

"Good-bye, Amaya," I said quietly.

"Good-bye, Kosuke," she replied quietly, and with nothing more to say, she turned away from me and jumped back up into the trees.

I watched her go, and then turned my back, starting to walk back home, where I had work to do.

Amaya's POV:

Instead of going back to Rain, I headed to it's neighboring country which was Grass. I took up a hotel room there, getting a small, cheep room so that I could hang out and think alone.

So Kosuke didn't know, and neither did Naruto. How Naruto never found out was beyond me. Yes, Sasuke and I had been in a secret relationship. We never told each other we loved one another, nor did we publicly show affection. Well unless you count the training grounds incident, but nobody ever knew about that but us, so it doesn't count.

I sighed rolling on to my back and stared up at the ceiling. We didn't date, per sey. It was mostly sex. That was it. I growled and sat up, snatching the bottle of pills from my pocket. I plucked out a single tablet and popped it in my mouth, deciding to head to sleep, unaware of the dreams that would haunt me.

It was that first night. Even dreaming, I knew that. We were sitting on the couch, watching The Lion King. I was still mad at him for out-training me, but somehow he made it into my house and was sitting on the couch next to me, eating my popcorn. To anyone watching it looked like a date, but I hated him, so it couldn't have been.

Except, then all of a sudden we were kissing. Somehow he had found a way to lean over and kiss me, and, even stranger than that, I was kissing him back. Had I gone crazy?

The bowl of popcorn had been between us on the couch, but all of a sudden it was on the floor and Sasuke was leaning his body against mine. And I liked it.

The images flashed through my unconscious mind. Him, the couch, the movie, the floor, him again. I could clearly picture his face. I could even hear it all. I heard myself growl at him, "Keep smirking Uchiha, and see how far you get!" I remember that after that he was very careful not to smirk at me. Instead I got to see him smile. An actual smile from Sasuke Uchiha. He has a nice smile. Handsome, manly, sexy…

I startled awake, sweat dripping down my body as the dream faded away. I could still feel his warm touch on my hot skin. I sighed and pushed myself out of the bed, and as soon as my feet hit the ground a wave of nausea came over me.

I stumbled into the bathroom, almost tripping over the blanket I must have thrown on the floor in my sleep. Emptying out my stomach was the easy part of this whole morning. As I was rinsing out my mouth in the sink many thoughts came into my head.

Reasons why this was happening, mostly. I automatically thought of Kosuke and what she's going through. I shuddered and placed my warm forehead on the window. I tried to think of other ideas as to why this was happening and finally settled on stress and the dream.

I gathered my belongings, knocked out the innkeeper, stole the money and headed back to HQ.

Was I right, did I get all or even the majority of the citrus out of this chapter? I hope so, even though I like my other story, I know that there are some people out there who wouldn't appreciate it. Anyway, feel free to read and/or review and of my other stories, or even this one! Thanks!
