CHAPTER 4

Face to Face

Walking through the empty streets in the Land of Waves, Suigetsu was carrying Miyuki in his arms, who was now wearing his Akatsuki Cloak. Before they started their journey back to the hotel that Taka was staying at for the time being, Suigetsu had lend her his cloak to keep her warm, since she was shivering from the cold breeze from the water of the village.

Miyuki looks up at Suigetsu and for some reason, she feels safe around Suigetsu and that she can trust him. Just by looking into his lavender eyes, she can tell that he won't let anything happen to her and she nuzzles her head in his chest. Suigetsu couldn't help but show a faint blush around her as he continues to walk them back home in silence...

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hotel. Suigetsu manages to take off his and her sandals without messing with her already bruised ankle.

Suigetsu walks into the living room, "Karin, Jugo, I'm back." he called out but only a young man with spiky orange hair and eyes was sitting on the couch.

"Welcome back." The man said, not straying his eyes away from his book. Then, he notices Miyuki in Suigetsu's arms. "Who's she?"

"This is Miyuki. I've saved her from a bunch of bandits. She hurt her ankle and I brought her back here so Karin can heal her." Suigetsu explained.

"Oh, I see." Jugo said standing up from the couch and making his way over to say hello. "Nice to meet you, Miyuki-san."

Miyuki looks up at the tall man, "Nice to meet you, too." she said with a smile.

"What's with all the noise in here?" a voice erupted from the kitchen and a girl with red hair and eyes was walking into the living room only to see Suigetsu still holding Miyuki in his arms. "Who's this girl?" she asked.

Miyuki figure that she should introduce herself this time, "My name is Miyuki. Nice to meet you."

"Karin, Miyuki here hurt her ankle pretty badly. Can you heal her?" Suigetsu said. It was more like a statement rather than a question.

"You know, he's not gonna be happy that you brought an uninvited guest here." Karin sighs knowing that he wasn't gonna take no for an answer. She rolls up a sleeve on her jacket and holds it out in front of Miyuki, "Here, Miyuki. Bite into my arm." she said plainly.

"Huh? Karin-chan, do I have to bite your arm? I don't like cannibalism but are you sure that's okay?" Miyuki questioned.

Suigetsu shakes his head, "Calm down. If you're worried that she's gonna be injured, then don't worry about it. Her chakra will flow into your body and heal your injury in an instant."

"I don't know..."

Karin waves her arm, "It's okay. I'll be fine. At least you were nice enough to ask instead of just saying it." she directed towards Suigetsu.

Suigetsu sighs in frustration, "Whatever...Go ahead, Miyuki."

Miyuki didn't think it was a good idea but if she wanted to complete her mission, she had to get better as soon as possible. "Well, okay..."

Miyuki takes a small grip on Karin's arm and begins to suck gently on the skin and her ankle begins to return to its normal color. After a few minutes, she twists it around in a circle and she is able to move it. She is grateful and she smiles sweetly towards Karin.

"Thank you, Karin-chan. Are you sure that wound will heal?" Miyuki asked in concern and Karin nods letting her know that she's gonna be fine. Suigetsu decides to put Miyuki down.

"Miyuki is very considerate and sweet..." Karin said.

"You're right. She is...unlike you." Suigetsu muttered under his breath.

A nerve was struck and the next thing you know, Suigetsu is getting punched in the face by Karin. "What you say, bastard?"

"Suigetsu-kun!" Miyuki yelled when she saw his head turn into water. Water was being splashed on everything in the room and in every direction. "Karin-chan, what the hell are you doing?"

"Suigetsu, you jerk! You're not getting off the hook this time!" Karin stops her rampage, "Miyuki-chan, this asshole is always insulting and irritating me! I can't take it anymore!"

Miyuki couldn't just keep watching Suigetsu get pounded on by Karin. She had to do something, "Stop it! You're hurting him!" she pleads but Karin ignores her and continues her assault on the water-nin.

Miyuki had no idea that Sasuke's team was so...dysfunctional. Sasuke really had his hands full with these guys. She could tell that Jugo doesn't like seeing those two fight all the time knowing that it gives him and her father a headache. He is scared and he starts to tremble, which did not help the situation at all.

Miyuki felt a chill run down her spine, 'What is this feeling? Blood thirst? Where is it coming from?'

Something was starting to release itself somewhere in the room but she couldn't sense where it was coming from. It made Miyuki feel so uneasy.

"Kill...I want to kill..." said a dark voice.

Miyuki turns to her right and it's was Jugo but something seems...wrong. There were strange orange and blood red like marks forming on his shoulders and around his left eye. His eyes were turning an unusual color for a human: yellow iridles and black sclera and was soon filled with the unstoppable urge to kill.

"Jugo-san...?" Miyuki said terrified.

Suigetsu and Karin stopped what they were doing long enough to see what was bothering Miyuki so bad. The two hurried over to Jugo and trying to subdue him. His killing impulse was loose and Jugo roared in anger trying to free himself from Karin and Suigetsu's tight grip.

"Jugo-san? Jugo-san, what's wrong with you?" Miyuki questioned taking a step forward and reaches out her hand to him.

"Don't go near him, Miyuki!" Karin warned.

Miyuki retracts her hand back from the dark pink haired kunoichi's warning. "W-Why?" she asked.

"His killing impulse is loose!" Karin strained strengthening her grip on Jugo's torso.

'Sasuke, you picked a bad time to not be here...' Suigetsu thought bitterly. He had his left arm around Jugo's neck, which wasn't not helping much.

"What are we gonna do? Sasuke is not back yet!" Karin yelled out to no one in particular, losing her grip.

Sasuke had went to the market to get some things for Karin to cook for dinner but that was two hours ago! Where the hell is he? Shouldn't he be back by now? This was not looking good for the members of Taka. Sasuke is the only one who could calm Jugo down whenever this happened. His killer impulse hasn't been triggered for a while and the timing for this event was no better. They were in a real pinch. Miyuki knew something was wrong with him and she also knew that she had to try and help him in some kind of way.

"Kill...I must...KILL!" Jugo roared.

He manages to get away from Suigetsu and Karin to make his way towards Miyuki.

"Miyuki-chan!" Karin yelled.

"Shit!" Suigetsu said before running after Jugo with his Decapitating Carving Knife. 'Let me make it...!'

"I'M GONNA BEAT YOU TO DEATH!" Jugo roared.

"Jugo-san, please stop this!" Miyuki begged.

She didn't want to resort to violence but if Jugo didn't stop, she wouldn't have much of a choice. Thinking quickly, she clap her hands together and before Jugo makes any contact with her, she jumps and presses her right palm onto Jugo's forehead.

"Jugo-san, calm down!" A strong surge of chakra surges from her palm and into Jugo's body, releasing him from his urge to kill. After a little while, the curse mark slowly recedes back into his body. Miyuki slowly removes her hand from his forehead and Jugo falls on his knees, practically soaked in sweat and terrified. Karin and Suigetsu are stunned by the action that just took place. Miyuki rushed to Jugo's side to make sure he was okay and considering the situation, he's calmed down considerably.

"Thank god...he's okay." Miyuki sighs in relief.

Suigetsu looks down at her with a disappointed glare. "Miyuki, what the hell were you thinking?" he snapped at her.

"I was thinking of trying to help Jugo-san!" Miyuki explained.

"Couldn't you think of a better way to do that?" Suigetsu yelled.

"I had to do something!" Miyuki said in defense.

"You couldn't gotten yourself killed!"

"Hn...!" Miyuki growled but takes a deep breath and she quickly calms down, "Suigetsu, this wasn't up for negotiation and there was no time to think. If one of us didn't do anything, he would of killed all of us." Miyuki retorted back, using his own words against him.

Point well taken. That shut Suigetsu up and Karin gives him a smug look at Miyuki from behind him.

'What a show-off. I don't like her.' she snorted.

Miyuki changes her tone, "But you guys were very brave...especially you, Suigetsu-kun...Thank you." she stands on the tip of her toes and kisses him on his cheek and he blushes slightly.

"Umm I well that's just...You're welcome..." Suigetsu manages to say despite him being flabbergasted.

'Never mind. I like her now. With Miyuki around, maybe he won't be such an asshole anymore.' Karin thought.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"I'll get it." Karin announced as she left the room to go answer the door.

"That must Sasuke." Suigetsu stated snapping out of his gaze.

"Huh?"

"That has to be Sasuke." Suigetsu said again and turns to Jugo. "Jugo, are you all right?"

Jugo groans, "I'll take that as a yes."

Five minutes later, Sasuke and Karin walked in the room. Miyuki's eyes were instantly locked onto Sasuke's. There he was. Sasuke Uchiha, the man she was looking for.

"Who are you?" Sasuke asked trying not to sound rude. Keyword: trying.

'F-Father?' Miyuki's eyes widen.

Sasuke raised an curious eyebrow at the blonde beauty.

"My name is Miyuki, Sasuke-san." she said simply.

'She knows who I am, yet she doesn't seem frighten by me at all. More importantly...this girl looks a lot like Naruto...why is that?' he thought.

Although he would never admit it but he missed his blond dobe terribly. Sasuke has done everything that wanted to do in his life: he killed Itachi, kill Danzo, Madara Uchiha, and left the Akastuki, before killing them as well. Ever since the day he and his friends defeated the Akatsuki, he's become more calm and passive but he hasn't lost that Uchiha attitude and pride. He felt like the hatred within his heart was completely gone yet he didn't feel...complete. What else did he have to live for? Can he live to love a certain blond shinobi? Can he be the one who could ease his pain and suffering? Only time will tell.

Miyuki broke the silence between them, "Umm, Sasuke-san? Are you okay?"

God, this is weird. She was not use to calling her father 'Sasuke-san' and it felt...strange but she couldn't blow her cover for any reason.

A smirk appears on Sasuke's face, "You're the one who was able to calm Jugo down, huh?" He questioned.

"Y-Yes." She stuttered. Why is she stuttering? It's just her father as a cute, sexy, seventeen year old. There's no need to stutter. Right?

Miyuki figured that Karin had already told Sasuke about the situation that happened earlier.

This girl quickly intrigued Sasuke, "You are the only one beside myself who was able could calm him down. Interesting...You can stay the night with us...if you want." he offered.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sasuke-san." Miyuki bowed. Was her father always this nice? She highly doubts it.

"No need to be so formal, Miyuki. Just call me Sasuke." Sasuke said as he went into the kitchen to put away the groceries.

'I don't think I can get use to calling my own father that.'

Suigetsu turned his attention to Miyuki and he got a full glimpse of her...lower half. He grins wider than usual. 'Miyuki's got a nice body on her...and a nice ass.'

Karin knows Suigetsu's perverted grin anywhere whenever he sees a cute girl and she elbows him on his side.

"What?" He asked innocently. "What did I do?"

Karin rolled her eyes, "Pervert."
