Sasuke's Escort Mission

by EmilyNew

Sasuke has a mission of escorting a girl named Sayuri around the hidden leaf village. She actually used to live in the hidden leaf village before, but she had moved. While she is staying in the village she has to do community service, along the way in Sasuke's mission, he realizes that he has special feelings for her, because she's different from the rest.

3. Next Assignment

It was only 2 in the afternoon when Sasuke, Naruto, and Sayuri got back into the main part of the hidden village. They arrived at the front door of the 5th hokage's office, holding a bag of rare fruits.

Once they opened the door they were startled from an abrupt sound. "Welcome Back!"

They looked around and it was Kakashi Hatake, Kimie, the 5th Hokage herself (Tsunade) and some of Sasuke's and Naruto's friends: Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, and their teammate Sakura.

"Where's the rest of the gang?" Naruto asked.

"Tenten, Shino, Kiba, Hinata are assigned on a mission." "Oh okay, so anyway...what's this for?" "We wanted to say welcome home again to Sayuri."

"Oh, Kimie, when are you leaving?" "I decided tomorrow at 1PM." Sayuri walked up to Kakashi and handed him the bag she was holding. "Here!" He looked inside.

It was hard to see from his mask, but he smiled. He looked at Kimie and they both vanished.

"Wait a minute you know Sayuri?" Naruto and Sasuke said together. "Yeah, we met her when we first got into the academy." Choji said.

"You went to the academy with us?" "Well that was a long time ago, and I only met Choji, Shikamaru, Ino and Sakura, and Hinata..."

"You helped us out a lot!" Said Choji. "Neji and Lee are here for your next mission." "What's my next mission?" "They will explain."

"Before they tell you your mission, why don't Sakura and me hang out with you for a while? I want to make sure you feel at home." Said Ino.

"Okay sure!"

Sakura, and Ino took Sayuri to a place to eat and sat down into a private booth. They had a grill in the middle of the table, where they would cook their steaks. While they started to eat, Sayuri started feeling a familiar chakra. Either someone was spying on them, or it was just a coincidence. Which she doubted.

"How long are you staying in the hidden leaf?" Sakura started. "Oh I don't know, whenever I feel like it I guess." "Lucky! I wish my dad would let me visit another village for fun!" Ino yelled.

"Why did you move from this village?" "Oh uh, well first I was visiting another village, where my mom was staying, then when we came back here my sister said she had to move because she and her boyfriend had to leave. And me and my other sister didn't want to stay here by ourselves, so we went where my m-mother was." "Why was your mother in a different village?"

"She was there to help them from crime. It helped this village be more allies with that village." "What village is this other village?" "Sakura! Stop asking Sayuri so many questions!"

Sayuri sighed in relief. "So do you remember how the academy was like when you were here?"

"So you still continue to bombard her with questions!" "Oh uh it's fine Ino. I was in the academy for a short time, but I still kept my grades up. I remember seeing a lot of you." "Hmm, which class were you in?" "I-Iruka's." "No way!" "Wait a minute." Sakura started to meditate for a moment, she slightly started to remember Sayuri. Then it struck her, Sayuri was the top one in her class, and she was always better than Sasuke, even if she couldn't help it.

"I remember you!" "What! You do?" "Yeah! You and Sasuke were like rivals! Then when you left it was like Sasuke didn't even remember you, but I mean after you left his mood changed, but people said that was because of something else that happened, I don't remember what though."

"Oh I mean, Sasuke and I had one competition, but I wouldn't call ourselves rivals."

"Please, Naruto and Sasuke are rivals, they always competed with each other!" Ino took a sip of her drink and slammed in on the table. "Oh! Yeah, yeah! No last name Sayuri!"

Sayuri started to laugh. "I didn't think anyone would remember that.." "See what you did now you offended her!" "Me?! If anyone offended her it would be you with your big forehead!"

Sakura and Ino started to argue, Sayuri started laugh. "-pig, hmm?" Sakura and Ino stopped arguing and saw Sayuri laughing and amused. They smiled, they thought she would have been uncomfortable or scared, but she was overjoyed. She was different from the rest.

xxxxx Another hour later xxxxx

They were leaving the building and going their separate ways when Sayuri was saying goodbye to Sakura and Ino.

Next she had to go to the hokages building and get her next assignment. She went walked down the block and took a left. She wasn't even surprised, leaning on the wall, waiting for her.

"Sasuke, you didn't have to escort me around anymore." He straightened his back and stood in front of her. "It's my duty to escort you around, I don't care how well you are familiar you're with the village, until Tsunade says I can stop, then I might."

"Might!" "Yeah." He said sluggishly, he walked over and stood next to her, waiting for her to walk. She couldn't waste any time so she went with it, and walked.

"What did you guys talk about?" "Oh i'm pretty sure you would know, I mean you were spying on us." "W-What?" "Sasuke, really? Did you think I wouldn't notice?" "Yes." He said flatly.

"You know I can definitely take care of myself." "Of course. I just wondered what kind of person you were like with other people."

"The only person I treat differently, is you Sasuke." He smiled. How did she treat him differently?

The road was crowded and it seemed like there was more people than usual. People started bumping and shoving thru them.

One man shoved passed Sayuri so fast and hard she kinda fell. Sasuke quickly caught her before she could fully fall. He made a face at the man that was already gone.

She straightened herself and continued walking. "I'm fine Sasuke." "Whatever, that guy should have saw you coming."

"It's fine." She kept repeating. The streets were crowded and it was almost hard to see where the road was. Everything was surprising for her, without noticing she had grabbed Sasuke's hand.

He smiled at her when she realized. She let go as soon as she noticed. He continued to smile and glance at her. It seemed to her like the world had suddenly went slower, like there wasn't a lot of people in their way. Was she just imagining this?

She felt a warm tingle across her arm. It was Sasuke, he was slowly grabbing for her hand. She let him take it.

Sasuke whispered in her ear. He said: Don't yell. Suddenly her feet were off the ground. Sasuke had picked her up. He started walking on the walls of the stores and ran to the hokage's building.

Sasuke had stopped and let her on the ground, it only took a couple minutes to get there since they were running.

She fixed her hair and waved at the guards as they went inside the building.

They walk inside of the office, inside was Tsunade, Rock Lee, and Neji. "Good! How was your lunch?" "It was fun." "Good. Neji and Lee will take you to the academy, there they will explain your assignment. Sasuke."

Sasuke looked over. "You are finished escorting her, temporarily." "Understood."

Neji and Lee walked to Sayuri. "Are you ready?" "Yeah."

xxxxx At the Academy xxxxx

They walked to a swing that was attached to a tree. They watched the still building of where the kids would learn about how to prepare for their future. Rock lee was holding a file between his arms.

Sayuri sat on the swing. "So what's the 'mission'?" "You will help tutor a group of kids." Sayuri was confused.

"See, these kids are at the bottom of the class, they lack youth!" "What he means is, they just need help." "Why me?" "Because everyone else has to do assignments out of the village, and you're the only one who's qualified, and can't leave the village." Neji explained.

"Who are the kids?" Lee gave the folder to Sayuri. She opened it and saw pieces of paper with a picture on each with a kid on it, their gender, age and their background history.

There were three pieces of paper. The first person was a boy.

Name: Haru Toyama

Gender: Boy

Age: 10 years old.

He had brown straight but spiky hair that hanged down, and creamy colored skin. He wore an oversized thin black robe over with the only thing visible under it was his black pants. Had dark purple eyes, very mysterious looking.

Next person was also a boy.

Name:Tatsuya Makoto

Gender: Boy

Age: Seemed about 12 years old, 13 at the most. Actually11. (Oldest of the rest)

Dirty blonde hair, straight, kept neat and was combed on the sides to go back while the front flipped over to the front. He had light blue eyes that were very noticeable. Wearing a tight black shirt, and baggy cargo pants. He seemed very, charming.

She flipped the last page and it had a picture of a exuberant looking girl.

Name:Misaki Sora

Gender: Girl

Age: 10

She had thick but manageable sunflower blonde hair in a ponytail that seemed to suit her well, and was pretty. Also wore a light teal shirt, with black shorts. Had light green eyes to match with her outfit.

This was an odd group, the first one was mysterious, the second one was charming, and the third one seemed to be very ecstatic.

"So how am I supposed to 'tutor' them?" "That's for you to decide. Just make them realize their full potential." "Do you think you can do it?" Sayuri thought about it, maybe this would be fun. "Yeah!" "Now that's youth! You start tomorrow!"

xxxxx The Next Day at Haru Toyama's House xxxxx

4:56AM

She walked up the stairs in his house and looked for the third door on the right. She went in front of the door and gave a light knock. At first no one answered, so she knocked again.

Knock, knock.

The door finally opened, but only slightly. "Haru Toyama?" "Can I help you?" She looked thru the room. It was dark besides the small light that glimmered thru a window. It seemed clean, but it was pretty early, so his bed was a mess. He himself, was wearing a grey no sleeve shirt and normal brown pants. He had shoulder length, straight black hair, with dark purple eyes.

"Nope, i'm here to help you." "What do you mean?" "Didn't they tell you? I'm Sayuri, i'm here to help you with your training." "I thought I told them, I didn't need one."

He closed the door. She definitely wasn't gonna give up on this now. Knock, Knock. He didn't answer, as expected.

"Why not!" She yelled thru the door. "I work alone! That means, I fight, and train alone." "So you get stronger from the practice you do by yourself?" "Yes." "So then why do you have the lowest grade in your class?

He didn't answer, but he finally did. "I'm not good at the other stuff, just fighting." "I can help you with the other stuff." "Don't need it." "How do you expect to win your battles? I mean strength isn't always enough in real battles." He opened his door, fully this time.

"Why not?" "How about I show you, me and you one on one." He looked up and down at her body. "You're still a genin? Alright then, this will be easy." "We'll see about that. Look, meet me at the training field at 7:00, so then you can get ready and eat some breakfast." "Okay."

He closes his door. Momentarily she left back downstairs and walks to the door. "Thank you Sayuri." Said a grown lady. "Don't thank me yet, it's just the beginning Ms. Toyama."

xxxxx At the training field xxxxx

7:16AM

Sayuri appeared in smokes and walked over and sat on the pole. On the other side was Haru looking angry. "You said 7 o'clock." "I'm a little late, so what?" "Let's do this." "I just got here." She sighed and got off the pole. They both got ready to fight.

Haru was dressed differently from this morning. He was wearing a black full length robe, the only clothing you can see was his black pants, and could also see his hands, but barely.

Sayuri jumped back and hid behind a tree. "Come out and fight me!"

A shuriken was headed towards him. He shifted his body and caught it. He did a full 360 spin and threw it back where it came from.

He ran towards the tree and aimed to punch it. "It's over!" He punched the tree, the whole tree snapped in half but there was nothing behind it.

He looked around, then finally up. Above him was Sayuri aiming to punch him. He quickly got out the way before that could happen.

The ground split open, when she got back on the ground she did hand seals. "Fire Style: Fire Phoenix Jutsu!

He tried dodging the flames that shot out her mouth, but the bottom of his robe caught on fire. He grunted and tried putting it out.

Immediately he was punched in the face. His whole body flew to the other side of the field and flew thru a tree. He laid there on the hard grass. Then he noticed his back started feeling hot.

He turned his whole body around to see what it was. His robe was still on fire. Haru rolled around the grass. The fire went out, but his whole robe was half burnt. He sat up.

He took off his robe, showing his dark grey sleeveless shirt and black pants. His arms were more toned than Sayuri remembered.

Wait what was she thinking!? What was he like what two, three years apart from her? Now that she thought of it, just because he's in the academy and she's finished with it, they weren't even that far apart. WAIT NO! IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY! Should it?

His mood had changed. She had to stop thinking about that and get her head in the battle.

Haru was breathing heavily, she could see why, that's what happens to most people when they're on fire. She smiled from the joke she made in her head.

What is she smiling about? Is she mocking me! Haru started getting even more angry. He finally pulled himself together and lifted his whole body up.

He shook his head to make his hair strands fall back into place. It reminded her of Sasuke.

Mmm.

He ran straight for her and aimed for a punch. She dodged it easily and hit him in several places. At first he didn't react to a couple of places she hit, but at one certain spot, his reflexes went off. Meaning, she had found a point near his weak spot. Below the sternum.

She started to attack him instead head on, this time he defended instead of fighting back. Most likely his chest was still hurting. She could try hitting his weak spot, but that would do no good, the match would be over and he would immediately have to go to the emergency room.

She need to find a way to make him think in this battle. To start using his brain, but she herself was the kind of person to attack directly.

There was one way, but it could only work if he actually tries to think thru it.

"Multi-shadow clone jutsu!" A dozen of Sayuri shadow clones appeared in smokes.

It was hard to see which one was the real one, so might as well defeat all of them until he gets it.

He runs toward a certain group of the clones and starts fighting with them all at once. The rest of the shadow clones circled him without him knowing. Soon they all went to punch or kick him, he tried to turn around and run but then he finally noticed that he was surrounded.

He was punched or kicked everywhere all around his body. Haru's body fell to the ground, his whole body ached. He lifted one arm, then the next. Lifting his head he noticed Sayuri pulling something out of her kunai bag, it was too small for him to notice what it was exactly, but it was something small to fit in the hand.

Sayuri lifted her arm and threw what she was holding on the ground. A huge smoke puffed out of it. Now it was hard to see where anything was. He stood up and kept his guard up.

"What kind of genin is this strong?" Behind him came another puff of smoke, probably Sayuri trying to make it harder to see where she was.

He ran to the where the recent puff of smoke came from. He punched and thru kunais everywhere, hoping he hit the right spot.

His arm was suddenly struck, most likely from a palm. How did she know where he was? Who could see thru this?

He listened to his surroundings, he heard at least two people ahead of him. He walked up slowly, keeping his hands up to attack.

Crack. A twig on the ground broke.

"There!" He ran up to where he heard it. All of a sudden he fell from a string. He had fallen into a trap. His body flew to the ground, tangled in strings. Trying to struggle out, it seemed like the strings were getting tighter.

"What is this?" "A trap. Careful now, you don't wanna accidentally cut yourself. Some of the strings are meant for the trap, and the others are meant to cut."

He wheezed. Carefully he tried moving his arm out. Soon he was up to his elbow on getting out, but since that was the fattest part of his arm, it was harder to get out, soon it was impossible. He noticed his elbow was too big to get out without getting cut, but he was willing to do it.

He continued lifting his arm, this time he tried to yank it out. Obviously, he was cut, but one of his whole arm was out, now was for the rest.

He set his free arm between an open spot. It was harder this time to get the other arm out. A cut there and a cut here. But he didn't care. He just wanted to get out.

Many cuts started to appear, and the smoke didn't seem to vanish. It was more like a mist now. He grunted and heaved himself out slowly, but that wouldn't stop the bleeding or get him out the trap anytime soon. It seemed impossible. "You were right." All at once the smoke disappeared. The only thing there was Sayuri, smiling.

"What did you say?" She said holding her ear out. "Hmmp. You-were-right!" A kunai went towards him, his reflexes made him look away. He heard the sharp sound of strings and he fell to the ground.

He looked to see what was going on, he didn't care about anything else, he didn't care if he was pummeled into a thousand pieces. All he cared about right now, was that he was out of the trap. But it seemed like everything was over. He sat indian-style and took out bandages for his wounds. Something had caught his eye. He looked up to see what it was, it was Sayuri crouching down.

She held out her hands and a green light appeared. Slowly his wounds were healed or half-healed. He eased up and let her continue.

"I'm sorry for the wounds." He didn't respond. He looked up at her and gazed into her eyes that were paying more attention to his wounds, than more on him.

She didn't have any scratches on her. She was strong, and smart. Maybe he could let her teach him. He stopped thinking when she finally broke the silence.

"Do you know why they teach you all that stuff in the academy?" "So we can be smart." She chuckled. "Yeah, but...it's more than that. They teach you how to think in certain situations, like how to counter your opponent's move, how to plan your next move. Chakra control, hand seals, how to use shurikens and kunais, how to surround with what's around you, how genjutsu works, work on your combat skills, teach you about other nations-"

"What is the point of that?" "When you go on missions to other villages, you gotta know what's around you." "Continue." "Help you on your projection skills, they give you YOUR FOREHEAD PROTECTOR!" "Alright, alright. I get it."

The wounds were finally healed and she pulled away and placed it on his shoulder. "Go to the library and get some books, catch up with your work at the academy. Make sure you're out of the field today, i'm gonna be using it." "For what?" "Work. Come here tomorrow at 5:30PM, that's when your real training begins.

She vanished into smokes and left with that.

xxxxx Getting Tatsuya Makoto xxxxx

7:46AM

Sayuri and Sasuke were in front of a hospital, talking about what happened with Haru. "Who's the next kid?" "A boy named Tatsuya Makoto, very good looking for his age, same age as Haru that I told you about." "Good looking." "Don't worry, he's like a couple years apart from us." "Why is he at the hospital?" "Visiting his mother." "His mother?" "She's very sick. I talked to her yesterday, she said he doesn't visit much, so i'm surprised he's here today. But still, he's only been here for 10 minutes now.

The front doors of the hospital opened and a boy that seemed their age walked out. He had blonde hair, and bright blue eyes.

Sasuke gritted his teeth. "That's him." She said patting Sasuke's back, hard. "Ugh." Sasuke left in a poof.

Sayuri walked up to the boy. "Hello Tatsuya, my name is Sayuri." "Hi, i'm sorry but i'm a little confused." "Why is that?" He gazed into her eyes and said: "Someone told me that angels are only in heaven, but i've found one right here." He gingerly smiled. She smiled back. "Thank you, anyway i'm visiting in the village here to help you with training." He looked up and down at her, stopping at her headband.

"So you're a ninja?" "Yes. Didn't they tell you that someone would help you with your training?" "They did. I said it was pointless. I'm sorry but I don't need to train." "Why not?" "Because I don't want/need to become a ninja. Excuse me."

He walked passed Sayuri. She turned around and called out his name. "Wait, Tatsuya." He stopped and turned around, he didn't seem angry. He didn't look happy either, but he did smile, with his eyes.

"Don't you think your mom wants you to become a ninja?" "Why would she want me to risk my life everyday for no reason!?" "Maybe you should start visiting your mom some more." She walked towards Tatsuya, she pulled something out of her kunai bag and gave it to him, she continued to walk. She stopped and looked over her shoulder.

"If you need me, i'll be in the training field for the whole day today. That's something for you to solve."

She continued to walk and left him there.

xxxxx 9:30AM xxxxx

She was sitting on top of her usual pole when he finally appeared, her lip curled. "How did you know?" He started. "I talked to her. She said you don't visit much."

"I don't want to see her in that state. I visited her today though, because I still wanna see my mom."

Sayuri's face went still. She turned around and decided to face him. "You're really smart for someone who's not in the Nara clan." "I have one of the lowest grades in my class." "Remember that rubix cube I gave you?" He took it out of his kunai bag and threw it to her. "Yeah I solved it-" "I know. It took you 3 and 1/2 minutes just to complete it." "How did you know that?" "I have a friend who was watching you."

"You got a someone to stalk me?" He yelled. She giggled.

"I wanted to see how long it would take you to finish it. Trust me, that's the only reason." "I'm just glad I was on your mind." He said being charming again.

"So, are you gonna let me train you?" "My mother wants me to become a strong ninja. Someone who can protect my family, friends, and mostly my little sister."

Little sister? It didn't say anything about him having a little sister. Did she overlook that? Doubt that. Or was it just not in the files. Maybe.

"You're little sister, how old is she?" "4 years old." "Aww."

I bet she's really cute! Sayuri kept thinking. "Please, can you help me. It'll take a while until I catch up." "Yeah. We got a lot of work to do."

She got off the pole and got her stance ready to fight, making him do the same. She decided to take it easy on him, he seemed like the kind of person who wouldn't do so good with taijutsu, so she can't force that on him. What would he be more suited for? Ninjutsu, or genjutsu. That's something she needs to find out.

She pulled out smoke bombs from her kunai bag. He reacted and took out his kunai and threw it at the bombs.

It hit one of them, making it react in front of her. The smoke was small and it vanished easily. He quickly ran to her and started to fight. He couldn't let her use that bomb.

He's really smart. Sayuri kept her guard on medium and fighted with him. She was finally able to get away and use that smoke bomb.

The bomb fell hit the ground and appeared was a large blue smoke. What kind of smoke was this?

Suddenly Tatsuya felt the floor starting to rumble. There were more Sayuri's than he remembered, WAIT! The bombs weren't meant for distraction or a get away, she was able to make a genjutsu out of it.

He did many hand signs and soon everywhere around him was normal again.

Already? She thought. That gave her an idea to work with. They continued to fight, but Tatsuya was the one who got hit the most. "Tatsuya what things are you good at in the academy?" "I don't know. Before I didn't really care." "Right." She stopped fighting.

Their feets landed on the ground and they started panting. Even though it wasn't much of a fight, but that was the second battle she had already today.

"You're good at genjutsu." "Why do you say that?" "Because you're able to distict very quickly if you're in a genjutsu, I bet you know from the moment you saw the color of the smoke from the bombs they weren't ordinary, and that was the another reason you knew you were in a genjutsu."

"This was a short fight." "Mostly things like this take time, but I guess you're different." She walked over to him and healed his wounds. Thankfully it wasn't that bad, it was only a couple of scratches.

"Come here tomorrow at 5:30PM, that's when your real training begins."

She disappeared in smokes and left with that.

xxxxx 12:17PM xxxxx

Sayuri came from the academy and went to go find Neji in the Hyuga compound but found an old friend instead. She had short purple hair with a bang covering her whole forehead. She wore a tan jacket with the hyuga symbol on it. She had bumped into Sayuri the moment Sayuri had gotten into the compound.

"I-I'm sorry can I help you?" "Hinata? No way!" She jumped up and hugged her.

"I-I'm sorry do I know you?" "Oh sorry, you probably don't remember me. My name is Sayuri. I lived in the village a long time ago, but I moved into a different village."

"I-I'm so-. Oh! W-We went to the a-academy together right?" "Right!" She slapped her shoulder and got a good grip on it. (Not a tight one though.) "Do you know where Neji is?" "N-Neji?"

"Yeah, he gave me a mission from the hokage, and I wanna get some more detail on it." "Neji is probably with his team." "Do you know where they practice?" "I don't know where exactly, but I know Guy knows, but if you can't find him, Kakashi knows." "Alright, i'll go ask him."

Sayuri left, but she wasn't off to find Kakashi, she was off to find Sasuke.

xxxxx

It didn't take long, because she knew exactly where he was. "Sasuke, I need to find Kakashi."

He turned around to look at her, surprised to find her coming to him. "Maybe he's with Kimie." Sayuri slapped her forehead. "AH! I FORGOT SHE'S LEAVING IN AN HOUR! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE IS!"

"Maybe she's with the hokage. For some reason her and Kakashi are always there." "Hey you're right!" Sayuri grabbed his hand and teleported them both to the hokage's office.

"How did you-" "Woohoo!"

In front of them was Tsunade sitting at her desk, Kakashi reading his usual book, and her big sister Kimie hanging out the window.

"I thought you were leaving!" Startled she almost fell out, but she got a grip and came inside. "I thought you're on a mission." "It's not a big one, but it'll take some time." "I'm leaving in an hour, did you like need something?" "Oh actually I needed Kakashi."

He looked up from the book once his name was spoken. "You needed me?" He said seeming very perplexed. "Yeah, do you know where Gai's team practices?"

He gave a loud sigh. Only needed me for that? Kakashi muttered under his breath. I'll take you to them. He walked passed them both and they followed him, even Kimie.

They got to a different practice field that they were used to, Neji, Lee, and TenTen were there sparring with each other.

"Woohoo Kakashi!" Sayuri said hugging him. They entered thru the gate that lead to the field, while Kakashi and Kimie said their goodbyes and left.

Neji and Lee stopped and waved at Sayuri. They walked over to each other. "TenTen this is Sayuri, she used to live in the village a long time ago, currently I assigned her to a mission." "Nice to meet you." She nodded and shook hands.

"Neji can I talk to you about my mission." "Sure." They walked over, separating themselves from the group.

"I talked with Tatsuya, and he said he has a sister." "A sister?" "Yeah, I looked over the files again, and it says nothing about it. I looked even more stuff about him, but I didn't find anything about his sister." "That's odd."

Sayuri looked over where TenTen, Sasuke, and Lee were. Lee and Sasuke were fighting, but not too intense.

"I don't really think it means anything."

"Okay. On another note, did you have trouble getting them to agree for you to train them?" "Yes! Well I haven't talked to the girl yet. You couldn't have told me that they didn't want to be trained?"

"I thought it would be more interesting this way." He said giving a devilish smirk.

"Oh I like this side of you Neji." She said softly poking his chest and walked away. "Sasuke! Time to go."

He smiled like a little puppy and stopped his match, while Lee was already going to kick him, but he got out the way once Sayuri came, making Lee fall to the ground.

He stopped smiling and got more professional. "What did he say?" "There's nothing too it, it's nothing." "Hmm." "Sasuke. I know what you're thinking. And I say, go ahead." He gasped.

"If I said no, I know you were just gonna do it anyway." He smirked. "How did you get to know me so well?" She smiled.

They walked back to the gate, leaving team Guy to continue their practice.

Even though Sayuri should be getting ready for tomorrow, but right now she really needed to take a break.

"Sasuke what are you planning on doing today?" "Practice." "The whole day?" "Yeah, what about you?" "I need to talk to the last kid i'm training." "Who's the kid?" "A girl named Misaki Sora, she's 10. That's basically all I know about her, besides her looks, she doesn't really have anything interesting about her." "That's all you're going to do today?" "Oh, I also need to come up with a lesson plan." "Lesson plan." He said mocking her.

"Oh be quiet Sasuke. It's still pretty early in the day. So I might go later to talk to her." "Do you wanna take a break? You had a long day already."

It was like Sasuke was reading her mind. Did she look how she felt, sore?

"Sure. I mean, I don't wanna take a nap or something. I wanna do something." "Wanna go to a spa?" "Hmm." She had never thought of that. But, for some reason she wanted to be with Sasuke, and only Sasuke. It's not that she didn't like everyone else. It's just that she wanted to be with him. She liked spending time with him, it was like the old days again.

"Wanna get some lunch?" He said breaking her thoughts and forgetting his other comment.

"If you're hungry then sure, but i'm not really. I'm still good from the breakfast you made." "No i'm okay."

"Hmm." What could they do?

"You wanna just walk?" "Are you sure? You've been doing a lot of work today." "I'm fine, I always do work like this." "Alright, well we're gonna stop at small store on the way." "To get what?" "Get a small snack. You know you gotta replenish your chakra."

He was right, her chakra was getting too low. But, it was good enough for one good fight, from the way the other kids were, she didn't expect much from the last one.

"What time do you think it is?" "Probably 12: 30, near that. When are you going to say goodbye to your sister?" "Well, right now she's probably packing her stuff, and that will take a while. But, she'll be finished by 1. So i'll wait until then." "Okay. I'll walk with you until then." "How's your training coming along?" "It's okay. It's mostly harder since it's by myself, Kakashi is mostly with your sister."

Sayuri opened her mouth to say something, but then changed her mind.

"What?" "Nothing. I'm sorry, Kimie will be gone, and after that you'll have the whole day to train." "It's not like that. It's not like I improve a lot anyway from Kakashi, I just work on my chakra control and my chidori." "You should try to practice on something specific." "Like what?"

"You should try working on increasing your stamina and chakra level, or using your jutsu's so they don't use a lot of chakra." "Hmm." He thought about it.

"Never thought of that." "You gotta work on more than your speed and strength you know." She said patronizing him.

The conversation died, and it was once again resumed when Sayuri decided to say something.

"So, what was it like before I came?" "Same, practice, missions, etc." "Seems boring." "Depends on what you're doing or learning." "I guess so. Do you ever remember seeing me? When I lived here before?"

Sasuke pondered on her question. "No, it was a long time ago when you were here." "Yeah, five, six years ago was it?" She said, mostly to herself.

Sasuke remembered that was the same year of the massacre, was it that long? It didn't feel like it. Good thing she left before it happened, if she knew about his past, she'd probably treat him differently, like the kids who knew in his class when they were in the academy. But Sayuri wasn't the kind of person to treat him differently though. What a minute, where did she move to? Where did she come from?

"Hey Sayuri did you ever tell me where you were from?" "Yeah, i'm from here, hidden leaf village." She said obviously. "No, I mean what village do you live in?" "Oh." She didn't answer.

She probably didn't want to answer, so Sasuke left it alone, surprisingly she finally did answer. "Don't tell anyone okay?" He nodded, he was actually anxious to know where she was from.

She walked closer, and said: "It's a secret."

For some reason, he wasn't surprised, instead he chuckled. "Alright fine." He couldn't help wonder though where she was from. Was she hiding something? It doesn't matter anyway, if she didn't want him to know, then he will let it go.

Sayuri was surprised that Sasuke let it go. She thought he would have continued to ask her questions. But he probably thought that she didn't want to tell him, it wasn't that she didn't want to tell him, it's just that she couldn't. The truth was, she was allowed to. If it got out where her location was, then she would be hunted down again.

They walked across the road to get to the other side of the sidewalk, Sasuke grabbed her hand and pulled her to a shop. They went inside and looked at all the food spread out behind a glass. On the isles there were chips, yogurt, trail-mix, fruits, crackers and other small snacks.

Sayuri's face looked astonished as if she hasn't seen food before. Then her face looked sad, probably remembering that she didn't have an money.

"Don't worry i'm buying." How did he do that! Sayuri kept thinking. She took a bag of chips, graham crackers, and a couple of yoplait yogurt with an added spoon.

They went in front of the cashier and Sasuke willingly paid for the food gladly. The food was put into bags and they walked outside the store. She already started to open the graham crackers bag and eat. Sasuke laughed on how childish she looked eating graham crackers.

She looked at him and made a face. "Hey!" Sasuke dug into the pag and pulled out a bag of baked chips.

They munched on the foods and continued to have a conversation.

"Do you know where this Misaki girl is?" "Uhh..I actually don't, I talked to some of the students who have class with her, and they said she'd be in school everyday, but when school is over they don't ever see her again, anywhere."

"Is she popular or something?" "It seems so, she makes an impression in her class enough for them to look for her after school." "Maybe she goes home and doesn't leave." "She lives kinda far away from town, so that could be a possibility." "You wanna go?" "I'll go after I say goodbye to Kimie." "How old is Kimie?" "Kakashi's age." "How old is Kakashi?" "Maybe.." Sayuri scratched her head.

"Pretty sure 28." Sasuke gasped. Kakashi was that old?

They turned left on a corner. "Wanna go to the main gates now and see if she's there?" "Umm.."

Sayuri touched the elbow of a lady passing by. She turned around to see who it was. "Excuse me ma'am do you know what time it is?"

The lady smiled and looked at her watch. "12:52, -PM." Sayuri grinned and thanked her. They walked their separate ways after that. "Again?" "Alright." Sayuri said bluntly. "Go." Suddenly, they were both gone and running to the gates. It was a 'who could get there first' match.

They stood there talking and waiting, and finally company arrived. In front of them was Sayuri and Sasuke, both out of breath.

"Finally." Kimie said. Sayuri grinned ear to ear. "Sasuke, you look out of breath." Kakashi said making fun of him. "She's faster than she looks." He said finally getting his breaths even.

"Well she is one of the fastest ninja to ever live." Sasuke looked at Sayuri. She was looking down and her smile was gone, she seemed disappointed, or sad, he couldn't describe it in words.

She looked up and looked straight at Sasuke, smiling. "I wouldn't say that." She plainly said.

"Don't be modest, you're even faster than Kimie and m-me." Kakashi took out his book and started to read it. "Ah Kakashi, here you go again." He looked up and smiled, then looked back down. "It's getting to the good part." He said excitedly. "Why does it always seem like you're always getting to the good part?"

Sayuri noticed the suite bags behind her older sister. This was it, she was finally leaving. Leaving Sayuri by herself in the village. She couldn't stop herself when she realized her body was moving in to hug Kimie. She didn't even try to stop it.

They stood there hugging each other. Kimie patted her head and smiled when Sayuri looked up at her. "There's nothing to worry about." She looked back down. "Yeah I know. It's just that, I don't want to lose you." Kimie gasped.

Her voice got serious. "You're not gonna lose me, this is your decision in the first place to come here. You have to do what you have to do. Besides, on the way I'm going to see Iyo." "Iyo!?"

Who was Iyo? Sasuke wondered. "Yeah, she wrote me a letter and told me exactly where to go and meet up. So she knows i'm on the way." "Good, because if you aren't there while a couple days pass, she'll know somethings up-" "-And go looking for me."

Sayuri pulled away. "Okay." She said reassured. "Okay?" "Yeah." She said in a kiddish voice. Kimie turned around to Kakashi. He put his book down in his pocket and had his full attention on her. Sasuke had never seen Kakashi act this way. Was there something going on between Kimie and Kakashi?

They whispered something to each other and hugged each other. Kakashi held her tight.

"Your sister will come after you if you don't show up right?" "Yeah, no matter what we're still sisters." He pulled away.

"Kakashi."

"I know, I don't want the kid to see me like this." "Why not." "I just can't let anyone know." "Why not?" "We had this discussion before." "Still..." "If an enemy knew about us, I don't want to put you in danger." "My whole life is always in danger!" She said yelling softly, making sure Sayuri and Sasuke still couldn't hear them.

"I really don't wanna argue before you leave." Surprisingly Kakashi pulled her closer and hugged her. "I just don't want to lose you." She pulled away and barely looked over her shoulder, then looked back at him.

"Fine." She said out loud. She smiled, he smiled back.

She took her suitcase and put it into a scroll, then sneaked it into her vest. Kakashi walked over between Sayuri and Sasuke and stood there.

Kimie repositioned her body to fully face them. She looked at Sayuri and gave her a encouraging smile. Soon after, she gave her final goodbyes and left the village thru the main entrance.

"Well Sayuri, I guess you have to complete your mission, so i'll let you get to it, Sasuke i'll see you in the usual training spot, take your time to get there, I'm not in a hurry." He left with that and disappeared in smokes.

"Where's the usual training spot?" "It's..uh far from here. It's hard to explain exactly." He took the bag of food from her hand. "W-" "Don't worry i'll put this in my place, you can eat it when you come back there." "Okay...so anyway you're leaving now?" "Well, did you want me to stay?" "Oh I mean-" "He said I could take my time, so how about I come with you to find this girl?" "No, no you can go train it's no problem. It's a long walk to her house." "I have time." "You're really stubborn aren't you?" She muttered. Sasuke gave a loud sigh in defeat. "Okay, you said no, and it seems like you really want me to go train, or just don't want me. But, fine." She didn't reply. Sasuke left in a poof.

"It's not like that." Sayuri quietly said to herself.

xxxxx 1:38 PM xxxxx

Already 1:38PM and Sayuri was at a rural area on a porch of a small farm house. It had a huge gate around it, and inside the gate was many different types of animals. She knocked on the front door and waited. It took a while until the door opened. An ancient lady appeared with a smile on her face. "You must be Sayuri." "Yes ma'am." "I'm glad. She's out back, i'll take you to her. come in." "Oh that's okay, I'll just go thru the gate entrance." "You're a very kind person aren't you." "Oh well I can't say that I'm mean." "Ah, modest too. Now, now, you can go ahead and see her." "Oh okay."

Sayuri nodded to give thanks, and walked off the porch and walked towards the gate entrance. Before she opened it she already saw a young girl chasing after pigs, surprisingly she did hand signs and made a grey/blue sticky like substance come out her mouth that shot out to the floor. The pigs were stuck in it, like getting stuck in quicksand.

Sayuri noticed that was a c-rank ninjutsu, pretty good for someone who has one of the lowest grades in class. Wait, she saw someone do the same jutsu in this village before. Who was it again? Right! She seems him every time she enters the village, Izumo Kamizuki. How did she find that jutsu?

The young girl held up two fingers, Sayuri watched what she was doing. A minute later, her feet started to glow. Sayuri gasped. "Oh." She said to herself. The girl was putting chakra in her feet, so she could get the pigs out one by one.

The girl was wearing an apron obviously trying not to get dirty, underneath was a long sleeve pink shirt and white shorts. She had curly and straight sunflower like blonde hair that reached half-way on her back.

She slowly opened the gate and went towards her. "Need some help?" "Eeeek!" Sayuri laughed. She calmed herself down and finally spoke. "No, you'll get stuck." "Don't worry about that." It only took a second for Sayuri to make her chakra flow to her feet. She walked on the sticky gew with ease and took a pig in each hand, then walked out.

"Where do they go?" She didn't realize it but the girl was making a shocked face. She pulled herself together again. "In that pen." She pointed to one of the small sheds on the right. They both walked to the shed and threw (not literally) the pigs inside. While she was doing this she noticed all of the sheds were different color and size, creamy white, white with black spots, dark brown, grey, reddish brown, and pink.

"Do the colors mean what animal it has inside?" "Yeah, how did you know that?" "Just a thought." "Can you guess what animals are inside each?" "Uh, the shed with white and black spots, must be filled with cows. Correct?" "Yeah." "The dark brown has horses, and grey for mules/donkeys." "Go on." "Reddish brown, probably chicken." "Y-Yeah..." "Pink obviously for pigs." "Yup! But, can you guess the creamy white shed is?"

Sayuri started to think fast. What animals are on a barn? You have pigs, chickens, horses, ostrich, rabbits...they need an animal that can be useful. Probably sheep for wool, or goats for the obvious reason. I'm just gonna use the most likely option.

"Is it goats?" "How do you do that!? You're really smart!" Sayuri smiled. Finally all the pigs were inside the shed. "How many times do you do this?" "What catching pigs?!" "Yeah, but this way..?" "Oh you mean using the jutsu to catch them?!" "Yeah!" She put her finger on her chin and tapped it. (Sign of thinking.) "6 times." "Oh a week?" "No." "A day?" "Nope." "A month?!" She bursted out laughing. "I wish!" Then she got calm. "More like an hour." Sayuri was confused. "W-what? Why?" "The animals always get out of the fence and I tried using the liquid like another fence so they won't get out, but we're it evaporates fast." "How long does it last?" "Maybe every ten minutes." "WHAT!"

Oh duh. Sayuri thought. She could have just done the math to figure that out.

"What?" "What's the point of using the jutsu if it goes away so easily?" "I can use it as much times as I want, so it doesn't really matter."

"Where did you learn the syrup trap?" "You know the jutsu!?" "I know a lot of jutsus. Anyway, did someone teach you the jutsu?" "No, I kinda picked it up when I saw someone use it." "You picked it up?" "Like, I saw them use the jutsu, and it gave me an idea how I could use it."

Sayuri still was confused. How was she able to copy it, that mostly worked out for people with the sharingan.

"So you just knew how to use it the first time you saw it?" "Not exactly, I kept following that person..."

Now it made sense.

"Oh so you learned the technique by watching him." "Yeah, is that a bad thing?" "Well yes. You were stalking someone. As long as you don't follow that person while they're on a mission."

"Oh thank goodness! Don't worry I didn't do that!"

It was quite. Suddenly she screamed: "Wait who are you!?" "Oh."

Sayuri gave a faint smile. "I'm Sayuri." "S-Sayuri? You wouldn't happen to be that trainer! Now would you?!" "That's me." "No way!"

I guess girls are as difficult has guys.

"Why not?" "I don't need it! And I don't want it!" "Why not? Do you expect to stay on this farm your whole life?" "Maybe, no...I don't know!"

Sayuri took a deep breath.

"How long have you been living with your grandmother?" She made a confused look, but answered. "5 years." "So you've been here five years?"

She didn't answer. "Where were you during the accident?" "How did you know about the accident?"

She didn't reply. The girl didn't seem angry, she seemed just calm.

"I was here." "So you know what happened with your parents?" "Y-Yes." "So that's why you don't want to become a ninja? Because you just hate them for what they do?"

She gulped then looked straight into Sayuri's eyes. "What do you know about me?"

"I know you're Misaki Sora, you're 10 years old. Parents died during a mission. Born here in the hidden leaf village. You know the Water-Style Syrup Trap jutsu. You go to the academy everyday then straight home and don't go anywhere else, so then you can work on the farm, you also live with your grandmother-" "I didn't mean literally. How do you know all that stuff anyway?"

"I try to do some information on my mission." "So this is a mission for you?" "Yes." "You're right." Sayuri gasped. "A-About what?" "I do hate ninja."

Misaki turned around and started to walk. Inevitably Sayuri followed.

"You're parents were killed by ninja, but they took that risk." "Why? Why become ninja and risk your life?"

Do all kids think like this? Sayuri thought, thinking of Tatsuya.

"So we can protect the ones we love." Misaki stopped walking. "You know, you're not the only with parents that have died during battle."

Misaki finally turned around and confronted her.

"You know Iruka lost his parents too." "Iruka?" "Yeah, but don't mention this to anyone." She nodded. "They died to protect Iruka from the attack of the nine-tails, he was devastated, but that didn't stop him." "Wh-" "What happens if something happens to your grandmother, what happens if someone tries to rob her? Or kill her?"

"I'd get a knife and get them from behind!" "Please, they're shinobi, it will be way harder than that. Look all i'm saying, we are one village, and you have to protect the one's in it. That's something you're parents believed."

Misaki didn't answer.

"If you need me I'll be on the training grounds until 5. So you have four hours."

Sayuri left with that in a poof.

She stood there thinking, figuring out what she really wanted to do.

xxxxx 4: 29PM xxxxx

Sayuri sat there criss-cross on top of a pole, waiting. She was at the practice field with a big pond on the side. It didn't take long until she heard rumbled thru the bushes. A small shadow appeared and sunflower colored hair appeared. Sayuri moved one leg under the other and hung it over the pole.

The whole body appeared, and the person didn't seem so upset.

"You seem happy Misaki."

Misaki had her thick blonde hair up in a ponytail and wore white shorts, and light green shirt that matched her light green eyes.

"Yeah well you were right-" "About w-" "About everything."

She threw her pointer finger in the air and flew it down to Sayuri. "Now! You have to train me!" Sayuri smiled. "Why?" "Huh? Because you're my trainer." "I mean, why should I? I train only the elite who can prove themselves with potential. What do you have?" "Oh you wanna see what I got!? Alright then fight me!" "Are you su-"

Before she could finish her question, Misaki took out a kunai and ran to Sayuri. Slowly Sayuri uncrossed her other leg and slowly got down, taking her time.

Misaki was an inch close with the kunai to her face, until Sayuri moved her hand to block it, it was so fast she didn't even see it happen.

Misaki glanced at Sayuri's glove and looked at the metal part. It didn't have a symbol.

After she glanced at it she jumped back. "Who are you!?" "Sayuri. I'm pretty sure I told you my name before." "That's not what I meant-"

Sayuri ran after Misaki.

"Water Style: Water Needle Jutsu!" Spits of water shot out of Misaki's mouth, almost a form of needles.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!" The ground started to form up and wall appeared and protected Sayuri from the needles Misaki created.

Sayuri made a shadow clone and the clone went around the wall to attack Misaki.

They ran at each other again. Misaki started to do hand signs but right after the first two she did Sayuri did the same. Sayuri caught up on doing hand signs, they kicked at each other but still continued to do hand signs, it took a while but they both said: "Water Dragon Jutsu!" Simultaneously.

"How did you know I was going to do that!?" A dragon in the form of a dragon appeared and splashed into each other. Canceling each other out.

Water splashed around them like rain, and for some reason fog appeared.

They jumped up and hit each other with kunais. They dropped to the ground then jumped up again fighting with kunais.

They continued, but this time Sayuri pulled out another kunai in her hand, making Misaki do the same to not get hit. Finally the original Sayuri decided to attack when both of Misaki's arm was busy.

She was kicked from behind and flew down..fast, to the ground. She tried flipping her whole body to land on the ground, but she fell too hard and fell, but she countered it by rolling then crouching, still ready to attack. Yet, her arm were bruised.

Surprisingly she grabbed her arm with one of her hands and a glow appeared on her hand. She was healing herself, and soon her bruises were already getting kinda better.

She call heal too? I can handle that, but that fast already? How long has she been doing this? To heal that fast she has practice healing many years, or she must have a lot of-

Abruptly Sayuri thought of something useful for teaching Misaki.

Sayuri threw a kunai at Misaki, the kunai went past her and hit the tree. A long but thin scar emerged on her arm.

She grinned ear to ear. She got up and forgot about the damage on her body, she had to focus on one thing only.

They sustained fighting, mostly the fight turned into mostly using ninjutsu then taijutsu. Time seemed to pass by very fast, because it seemed already 5 o'clock based on the suns position.

Surprisingly Sayuri was confused, mostly the match would've ended by now, her chakra was now at a percentage of a normal persons.

Sayuri and her family possessed a very large amount of chakra and stamina, no one knows where it comes from. Also her and her sister's were prodigies when they were little, and even now. Sayuri was the quick one and fast thinking one, Kimie was the strong and wise one, and the 2nd oldest sister was the intelligent one. Their IQ levels are all high, but her older sister had the highest out of them both.

There was nothing left for Sayuri to do in this fight, she can't go her hardest because if she did Misaki would get too hurt. But, if she left this match continue they would be there for an hour tops. Time to change it up a bit.

"Misaki let's end this already, I wanna do something different!" Misaki stopped in place and listened to her idea. "One jutsu, you and me have to pick a jutsu and which ever is the strongest or more advanced wins the battle, deal?" "DEAL!" Misaki already started doing hand seals, but Sayuri had to stop her.

"Wait, wait! What kind of element is it!? Misaki stopped doing hand signs, but after she finished asking her question the only thing Misaki did was smile and continue doing hand signs. Wasting no time Sayuri did the same.

Dark clouds started to form in the sky making a small drizzle to fall down. A breeze flew by making more wind flew thru their hair.

"Tori-Inu-Tora-Ryu-Saru.."

"Usagi-O-Histshu-Hebi-Saru-Tori-Ousu-buta..."

They finished at the same time and ended with: Tori-Tora!

Misaki: Water-Style: Flooding Tsunami!

The pond flew up and turned into a large tsunami attacking Sayuri.

Sayuri stood there and smiled.

Right before she was attacked by the giant wave her hands started to do hand signs so fast you could barely see which ones she was doing.

"Fire-Style; Great FireBall Jutsu!" A humongous fireball blasted from her mouth making the whole wave go into smokes. Right when she finished with her fireball jutsu it started to rain even harder. Lightning started to appear in the clouds.

The rain started to stink and get darker than usual. It piled up more on the ground, starting to flood the ground.

Sayuri flowed her chakra to her feet, but Misaki didn't seem to know or figure that out yet, so her ankles were drenched.

Seconds later Sayuri got out the water and stood on a tree. The water got heavier. Sayuri held her hand to the cloud and swatted it down. Lighting struck and the rain was contaminated with lighting. When the first rain filled with lighting hit the flood, Misaki was electrocuted, and fell in the flood, making her whole body electrocuted.

Sayuri held her hand horizontal to the flood and lowered it, making it lower. Quickly she ran and appeared next to her in a second. She held her palms on her chest, making the lighting go away.

Quickly she held up two fingers and the mist slowly went away.

She looked at Misaki's face, her eyes were closed but for some reason, she was smiling. She was surprised that the girl wasn't unconscious.

They both laughed. Misaki heaved herself up. She coughed haggardly. "Where did you learn that jutsu?" "My parents taught me." "You learned that jutsu when you were five?" "Actually at first I couldn't do it because I didn't have enough chakra, so they just taught me the hand signs. When I was first came to my grandmothers house I practiced it all the time, first I couldn't get it but slowly I did. After I heard the news about my parents, I haven't tried it since then."

"You have a lot of chakra then you know. You keep using more chakra then you need for your jutsus, that's something i'll help train you on." She smiled ear to ear. "You mean you're gonna train me!" Sayuri nodded.

Her wounds were already gone and she started to feel better, everytime she coughed it seemed to get more softer each time.

They both heard a crack from a twig from inside the forest, then another sound coming from the opposite direction. Then they saw a body on each side they heard the sound.

"Meet your new teammate Misaki." They finally saw the two people clearly, they were both boys. One had jet-black straight hair that hung down to his shoulders and wore a overly sized black robe, and had dark purple eyes. The other boy had straight dirty blonde hair that hung over on the front but were combed on the sides. He had light blue eyes that catches your attention the first time you look at him and wore a dark purple shirt and black cargo pants and a bandage on his left arm.

"T-Teammates?" They said at the same time. "Yes." Sayuri stood up straight and held her hand out to Misaki. She smiled and took it. She got up and looked at them both. The two boys walked over to the two girls.

"I thought I was only getting a trainer." Said the purple eyed boy.

Sayuri walked between them to the pole, she looked over her shoulder and nudged them to follow her, which they did.

She stopped and turned around, behind her was the pole where she always sat on. "Each of you has a special skill, and each of you obviously lack certain things. Which the other two can help you with." "So..we're a team now?" "Not officially. To have an actual team you need to pass the final exam in the academy. But, for now this will be your group."

"So this is just practice.." He said. "Basically. Anyway do you guys know each other?" They all looked at each other and shrugged.

"Aren't you guys in the same class?" They nodded. "And you don't know each other..wait didn't you guys stalk her to find out where she goes after school?"

"What!?" Misaki yelled. "That was the other people in the class-" "We didn't know her so why would we go?" He said finishing the boys sentence.

"Alright, so I guess we should like introduce ourselves. Start with your name, reason why you want to become a ninja, and something you're excel at when fighting."

"Excel?" Misaki said. "Can you start first?" "Who me?" They all nodded their heads.

"My name is Sayuri, i'm already a ninja and I don't really have a reason why I wanted to become one. And something I excel at when fighting is probably..my speed."

"Oh!" They all said at the same time.

"I'll go first." Said the boy with jet black hair. "My name is Haru Toyama. I don't have a specific reason why I want to become a ninja..something I excel at in a fight is my strength."

"Oh! My turn!" Misaki said waving her hand. "Alright go ahead." "My name is Misaki Sora! And I want to become a ninja so I can protect my grandmother! And something I excel at in a battle is..umm...my jutsus-" "Ninjutsu." Sayuri said giving her some help. "Yeah! Thanks. Oh and I can heal pretty good!" "Alright, your turn." Sayuri said to the blue-eyed boy. He gave a soft and gentle smile.

"My name is Tatsuya Makoto." He started off talking soft and gentle like his smile. "My reason for becoming a ninja so I can protect my mother who's really sick..and my little sister, and everyone around me. I guess something I excel at in a battle is my intelligence or something, and my genjutsu. At least that's what Sayuri told me, but I wouldn't say that.."

Misaki's face flushed. Aww! He's so modest and cute and smart! She thought to herself.

He gave a light chuckle when he looked at Misaki. She smiled back trying to keep her cool.

It's been hours since I had a real meal. Sayuri thought. I just had three battles today, and the only times i've ate was this early in the morning, then some snacks. My chakra is at 35% now from using that jutsu, i'll get something to eat after I train them. Let's see how I can train them, so:

Tatsuya: intelligent, good at genjutsu

Haru: Good at taijutsu

Misaki: Can heal and good at ninjutsu

So basically each of them is good at one of the each skills, put them together you'd get something powerful, but how can I put it together. First I need to know if they can do the basics.

She looked behind their shoulders and saw the large trees. "You guys see those trees over there?" They all looked behind themselves and slowly nodded. She looked back at them and they looked back at her. "C'mon."

She jumped off her pole and walked ahead of them. They followed right behind.

She walked into the deeper part of the woods, finally getting to the large trees. She stopped, making them also.

"Alright." She grabbed Misaki and pulled her to a tree. "Stay." Then she grabbed Tatsuya and pulled him over to the tree next to Misaki then did the same with Haru but with the tree next to Tatsuya. After she was finished she walked over to Tatsuya's tree and pulled him out of her way. She held up two fingers and put it down. "Alright you guys are gonna learn how to walk on trees." Sayuri ran up the tree all the way to the top branch then sat down with her feet hanging down. "I want you guys to do this!" She yelled down to them. She stood up and walked down the tree this time. She finally got back down and explained the directions.

"To do this you need to focus your chakra and energy down to your feet and only your feet. You can't put too much then you'll break the tree and like fall. But, if you put too little then you'll fall off. Also you have to put your chakra evenly in each foot.

They nodded, closed their eyes and focused.

Sayuri took a couple steps back and did some hand signs of her own.

When they opened their eyes they tried to walk on the tree. Haru fell first then Toyama, but Misaki continued to walk. Unfortunately her left foot sunk into the tree which made her fall. They flipped back and landed perfectly when they did.

"Hey get out your kunais." They turned around to look at Sayuri, somehow she was sitting on a log. "What! Where did that come from!?" Misaki yelled. "That's not important, get out a kunai." They mumbled but continued to do it. "Alright, right before you fall I want you to scratch the tree of where you fell. Then you can keep track of where you were."

They nodded of understanding and continued their practice. Misaki walked up the tree with major focus. "Remember Misaki keep your chakra even!" Her feet wobbled from getting distracted but she was able to balance it again. But in a couple steps later she fell off but before both feet did she scratched the tree of where that foot was.

Meanwhile Haru and Tatsuya weren't getting it. Haru impatiently kept trying but he wouldn't get so far. Once Tatsuya fell for the third time he stopped and put his finger to his mouth and bit his lip, was probably thinking about how he can get to the top.

If this is a habit of his then the enemy would know that he doesn't know his next move. Gotta work on that.

He put his finger down and closed his eyes. A minute later he opened it and walked two steps on the tree. He stood there.

Hmm?

Then he took one step forward. Couple seconds later he did the other and kept doing the same thing. Seemed like it was 10 minutes when he was almost at the top. Sadly he went flying down to the ground,, but managed to scratch the tree where he once was.

Haru fell to the ground once again but this time got somewhat closer up.

"Are you okay?" Tatsuya asked. Aww he's so kind! Misaki thought. "I'm okay." Haru turned around to look at Sayuri, he jumped up from surprise.

"Where did that pole come from!?" The other kids turned around to see what was happening. Behind them was Sayuri sitting on a pole that wasn't originally there.

"Don't worry about this, just focus on walking." They were confused but did what she said. She sighed and closed her eyes and started to think to herself.

I wonder how long this will take. Misaki lives far away so she might have to leave early. There's no way she can walk all the way home during night. Unless if I walk her, but i'm starving and my chakra is low. I just need a nap, maybe some food but..ahh this is a drag, great now i'm sounding like Shikamaru. I wonder what Sasuke is doing, probably training.

Thud! Sayuri couldn't help but smile, even though her eyes were closed she knew who fell.

"Ahh!" Yelled Haru.

Hours past and Sayuri opened her eyes. They were all still falling but the tick marks were getting higher. The sun was setting and Sayuri was even hungrier than ever.

Should I end practice now? I doubt they would stop anyway.

Grrr. Her stomach had growled. They all stopped and turned around to look at Sayuri.

"Are you hungry Sayuri-sensei?"

Sensei?

"I'm fine, when I get home i'll eat, and you don't need to call me sensei i'm only a couple years older than you." Her stomach growled again. "I think we should end practice for now, we can start again tomorrow." Tatsuya said.

"That's very considerate but I don't wanna stop you guys it's okay." "No it's fine, I have to get home anyway." "It'll be night time until you get home, i'll walk you."

Sayuri jumped off her pole and walked over to the group of kids.

"No it's okay Sayuri I can walk home by myself." "What if someone attacks you?" "I can use my syrup jutsu on them." "What happens if there are too many people for you to catch?" "Stop making excuses for something to happen to me! I'll be fine!"

"Ugh, fine. I'll see you all tomorrow here after your class ends."

They all nodded and went their separate ways. Once all the kids were out of Sayuri's sight she summoned a shadow clone. The shadow clone looked at her and nodded, then ran into the same direction Misaki was going. She was going to follow her. Meanwhile the original Sayuri walked off to Sasuke's place, right now she was exhausted and could barely move.

xxxxx 8:50 xxxxx

It took about 20 minutes since she was walking very sluggishly. But when she opened the front door of his place in front of her was Sasuke. Waiting for her. She made an oof sound. "What's wrong?" She smiled. "Nothing." The shadow clone she made to follow Misaki was killed by surprise from her. Good job.

They walked down the hallway straight into the living room/kitchen which was surrounded by lit candles. On the table was two plates filled with cut steaks with some bread on the side with and sauce poured on the side to have something the bread to dip into.

"What's this?" "For the main course we have: Grilled skirt steak with Thai red chili sauce." "That's a long name." They chuckled. Sasuke walked over and pulled out her seat.

"Oh what a gentlemen!" She sat down then he did the same. "For dessert I have something special." "This food looks yummy. How long did this take you to make?" "I can't tell you." "Why not?!" "Because if I tell you then you'd have a fit on how long it took me and say: 'oh you didn't have to do that!" She giggled, that's definitely something she would say.

She picked up the fork and knife and cut a piece of the steak. The steam rose up and the smell was divine.

Right before she popped it in her mouth she teased Sasuke a little.

She opened her mouth like she was going to eat it but instead she closed it and blew on it. Then she would put it back on the plate and tried cutting it even smaller.

Meanwhile she was cutting it Sasuke looked enormously impatient. "Ha ha ha ha!" Sayuri bust out laughing. "You gonna take a bite or what?" He said while his face was blushing.

"I'm just messing with you Sasuke." She finally picked up the steak and took a bite. She chewed for the longest and finally said something.

"Where did you learn to cook like this?!" He smiled. "Actually I had some help from Kakashi." "Kakashi can cook?"

Flashback

8:00PM

Sasuke and Kakashi appeared in smokes in front of the village. "Good training today Sasuke, you seem more efficient than usual." Kakashi complimented. He smiled. "Yeah I got some tips." "Hmm." "What?" He said getting serious again. "Nothing, I mostly don't see you smile." "Whatever." Sasuke was planning on making a small dinner for Sayuri, he didn't know when she was going to be finished with training so he had to make it now. He walked ahead hoping to go home.

"Going home already?" "Yeah." "Why?!" "None of your business." "Oh is Sayuri still staying at your place?"

Sasuke stopped walking and kept a calm face. He couldn't let that bother him so he continued to walk home. Suddenly Kakashi appeared in front of him. "Is she home right now?" "How should I know?" Sasuke went around him and continued walking. Obviously he followed.

"Are you hoping she is home?" He didn't reply. But he was thinking in his head: hoping, no. He was planning on making a surprise dinner for her and it wouldn't be a surprise if she was there.

"No." Actually he was telling the truth. "Why not?" Sasuke made a face and continued walking. "What are you gonna do at your house?" "Start dinner." "Oh for the both of you?"

Without knowing his face started to get a little red. "REALLY! This is just like what happened in my book!" Kakashi murmured to himself.

This is what Kakashi reads about? Sasuke wondered.

"I'll help you make dinner!" Actually Sasuke could use a little help in dinner. "Please Sasuke!" "Whatever." "Really!" "What do you wanna make for this night?" "Something with meat." "I have the perfect thing!"

Kakashi did hand signs and teleported them to the store. They bought the necessary foods they needed, paid then went home to start cooking.

End of Flashback

Sayuri and Sasuke were still eating while Sasuke was telling the story. After he was finished the window swung open and a shadow appeared. Easily and quickly Sayuri and Sasuke were out of the table, both holding kunais and ready for an attack.

"Whoa, calm down. I just wanted to see if you like the food." He said smiling. They relaxed and sat back down. "It's really good Kakashi." She said smiling ear to ear even though she was very exhausted. "Sasuke was the one who mostly made it, I just told him what to put in it. Well anyway I just came here to see if you liked it, which i'm glad you do. I'll be leaving now." "Kakashi why don't you stay?" Sayuri offered.

Kakashi looked at Sasuke, they stared daggers at each other, finally Kakashi gave his answer. "No thanks, i'll leave you two alone."

Kakashi left with that in a poof. After he left Sayuri gave a loud yawn.

"Your chakra is low." "Yeah i've been in three battles already. In the last one I had to use one of my best jutsus." "You should be careful, it's getting dangerously low." "Don't worry after some food and rest i'll be fine." "Well go to sleep early." "But Sasuke, i'm fine." "You're half-asleep already, you can work on your new jutsu tomorrow." "No i'm just exhausted from moving so much, i'm fine now." "Oh really then tell me your day, your whole day."

She mumbled. "Alright." She straightened her back and gave a wide smile.

I got up really early to go see the first kid I had to train. His name is Haru. He has purple eyes and he wears a really big robe. All he cares about is strength, but now he realizes that it's not just strength to win a fight."

Half-an-hour passed and Sayuri got to the point of talking about Misaki. They both had just finished their steaks. Sasuke got up and went to the counter. He pulled out a large plate with a pie on it.

Her face brightened up. "What kind of pie is that?" "Chocolate and butterscotch mousse pie." She gasped. "I haven't had that in a long time." Sasuke took out a knife and sliced it into pieces and placed two on her plate.

She picked up her fork and took a piece of the dark and light brown pie then popped it in her mouth. "It's really creamy." Sasuke genuinely smiled.

"Do you like it?" She smiled and nodded her head like a little kid. "Good." Finally he picked up a piece for himself and also had a bite.

"Mostly I don't like sweets, but this is good." "Kakashi said that he made this for you when you lived in the village, is that actually true?" "Uhh..i'm pretty sure my sister was the one who mostly made it, but he always said he helped, so maybe." "Hmm. How did you meet Choji, Shikamaru, Ino-" "The academy." "So you were in the same class as us? Then why don't I remember you?" "Oh uh, it was a long time ago." "Then how do they remember you?" "Because I saw Choji, Shikamaru, and Ino at a store trying to buy some food, but they didn't have any money, so I just gave them some money." "So they remember you because you paid for their snacks?" "Well it seems like everytime I see them they don't have any money, so I offer to give them money." "What about Hinata?" "Sakura was being bullied and Ino wasn't there so I stepped in." "I asked about Hinata." "She's your teammate you should care." "Psh." "Anyway Hinata was training by herself and I kinda helped her train for a while." "You're really..nice." "He he. Thanks."

The conversation ended into a deep silence. They ate their foods and got ready for bed. Unlike before Sayuri had her clothes this time. So now she could brush her teeth, have something to change into. First Sasuke went inside the bathroom and got ready for bed. When he finished Sayuri went inside and took a shower and brushed her teeth.

When she came out this time she was wearing white pajama pants and red tight shirt. The moment Sasuke got a look at her the first thing he thought of was the Uchiha symbol, it was the same colors.

"What's wrong?" "Nothing." "No really, you seem surprised to see me, oh do I look bad in this?" "Oh no, it's just that you're wearing the colors of my clan." "Oh yeah! The Uchiha symbol is red on top and white on bottom." "You seem to know a lot about the Uchiha clan."

"You have no idea." She said quietly. "Do you know the next time you'll come back to the village?" "I don't think I will, but I know i'll see you again." "How? When?" "I know i'll see you two more times in the future, after the second one I don't know if we'll see each other after again." "But how do you know?" "I know the future." She said sarcastically.

Sasuke walked over and turned off the lights.

Suddenly she getting very dizzy and started wobbling around, she fell to the ground, before she could hit the floor, swiftly Sasuke caught her.

"I can't wait to see you again. C'mon let's go to sleep." Sasuke picked her up and layed her on the bed under the covers. Sweetly and gently he put the covers on top of her. Soon he walked over to his futon and went under the covers. Not too long they both were asleep.

xxxxx 2:57PM xxxxx

xxxxx In front of the Academyxxxxx

The kids come rushing out the building, while Sayuri watches from a swing on a tree. Next to her is a large bag.

Surprisingly coming out to go to Sayuri, were the three kids: Tatsuya, Misaki, and Haru.

"Sayuri!" Misaki yelled waving her arm, she grabbed both of the boys hand and ran to Sayuri. "Have fun during school?" "Well we're still behind, but don't worry we'll ace the exam!" "Alright, well instead of working on the tree climbing exercise, i'm gonna teach you the basics." "Basics?"

"Yeah learning all the hand signs, shadow clone jutsu, and the substitution jutsu."

"We've heard of that!" "You should! Anyway instead of the same place as yesterday, I wanna go to a different location, it's gonna take some time to get there."

"Where?!"

xxxxx

They got to their new training ground, but the place they got to wasn't the kind of place you would train in.

Around them was trees, beautiful plants, and sand everywhere. They oohed and awed.

"Welcome to your new training spot!" "How did you find this place?" "It's uhh..a place I crossed by, the only person I brought here was one of my mothers friend."

"Why did you bring us here then?" "Because currently i'm training you guys, and it's not the same there as it is here."

"Is it like home for you?" "Not exactly, but the warm, sticky weather is." "Where are you from before?" "Originally I was born here in this village."

Not really answering my question. Misaki thought.

"Alright first thing on the training list is: Substitution! Haru I want you to come and hit me!" "Okay." He said not even giving it any thought.

Her hand moved into the hand seals: Tiger - Boar - Ox - Dog - Snake

When Haru punched Sayuri he was sure that he had got her, but he was wrong. When he stepped back the same place Sayuri was standing was now a log.

Swiftly Sayuri came from behind him and punched his neck but stopped midway. "The moment you saw it wasn't me you should have had your guard up. I know that you guys don't expect me to hurt you, but when we're training, always have your guard up."

He slowly looked over behind him to see what was going on. He gasped in his head.

"Good I like that you don't look scared. You look calm and cool."

She undid her fighting stance and lowered her fist.

"Never fidget when you have your guard up, if someone is watching you they'll think that you know they're there. You want to always get them by surprise."

Just like Misaki did to my clone. Sayuri thought.

"How did you do that jutsu?" "Right Tatsuya! You guys now all the hand signs right?" They nodded.

"Well the sequence is tiger, boar, ox, dog, snake. Can you try that out?"

They gave an encouraging hump and tried.

After they did the hand signs after that it was useless since they didn't know what else to do.

"Alright good you know the hand signs. Now the body replacement jutsu; also known as the substitution jutsu. You have to switch something in your place. If you look around there are trees everywhere. You could take that and switch it in your place like I did."

"What do we do after we replaced our body with the log?" "This is a diversion jutsu, after you switch places then you have to run away, hide, or attack from behind."

"Can we try it again?" Haru asked. "Yeah, this time i'll attack each of you with a kunai, after you get hit and the log pops up, I want you each to either attack, or hide. Understand?"

"Got it."

Sayuri reached into her bag and held up three shurikens. After that they did the hand signs, a second later they were done she threw each of the shurikens in one easy throw.

When the shurikens attacked the kids they turned into logs. Sayuri smirked, took out a kunai and spun around.

Thank goodness they got right.

Sayuri could easily tell where they were, from their chakra sense. It seems Misaki and Tatsuya are going to hide and maybe ambush Sayuri. But obviously Haru was going to attack from behind.

She looked behind like she didn't know he was there and saw Haru running after her. She waited for him to strike first, which he did.

He put the kunai to her face and she struck back.

She was going to go easy on him. If she was serious they could have been dead already. Of course she couldn't kill them, but still you get the idea.

While Sayuri and Haru were somewhat fighting, behind her Tatsuya ran up with a kunai in his hand.

Sayuri took a baby step back and mildly swung to Haru. He dodged and swung for her. She got out the way making Haru swing to Tatsuya.

Tatsuya flew back but still stood. Haru gritted his teeth from getting played like that. He looked to Sayuri whom was sticking her tongue out.

"Water-style: Syrup Trap Jutsu!" Without knowing Sayuri's feet were in a sticky mud.

"Good one." Standing together Misaki, Tatsuya, and Haru stood side by side.

"Good job, not only, do you know how to do this jutsu perfectly..you also got me."

Tatsuya and Misaki cheered and gave high fives, waiting for Haru to high-five them next. He gave in and did.

"Hmm, now how can I get out of this?" Sayuri said to herself. "Can't you just do the same thing when you picked up the pigs?"

"Picked up the pigs?"

"I would but i'm already stuck in this, so it's too late." They all put their finger on their chins and started to think.

Sayuri seemed to have thought of something because she started to do hand signs.

"Throw that log to me!" She said pointing to the log Misaki used to switch her body with.

Tatsuya took the log and threw it to Sayuri. After she caught it she said: "Alright, now throw a kunai at me." "Are you sure." "Positive."

Haru hesitated but still threw a kunai at her. They all gasped once they realized what she did. The log fell into the mud and was still there, but Sayuri wasn't. They looked around but couldn't find her. Haru was the first one to find her, just like the match they had before, she was in the sky falling down.

Except she was falling straight to the sticky mud again, so what was the point?"

"Look!" Haru said pointing to Sayuri.

"Sayuri!" Misaki called.

Easily and swiftly Sayuri stood on the log like it was nothing. "Don't worry, did you really think I would get in that trap again?"

They all sighed in relief.

"Alright!" Sayuri sat down on the log indian-style like she always did.

"Now we're gonna do the clone jutsu!"

"We're currently learning that in school." "Right and you guys need to learn this if you wanna pass the academy."

"Really!?"

"Yes, now can we begin?" They all nodded.

"Clone jutsu is a ninjutsu that allows you to copy your own body. The clone can't attack-"

"Then what's the point of it?" "It's to confuse the enemy, the hand seals is: ram - snake - tiger"

Their faced looked confused, but mostly determined.

"Does it make sense?" They didn't answer, they all tried to do the hand signs. After the last seal they held that sign until a clone appeared.

Misaki was obviously the first one to make some appear.

"Good job." Surprisingly Haru was the second one to make clones appear.

It probably wasn't hard though, because he doesn't have a lot about him. He just has straightish/spiky black hair, with a big black robe, and dark purple eyes.

Basically the only thing that stuck out was his eyes. Tatsuya on the other hand...he, him whole self just stuck out.

"Try using more chakra, if you have to." His hands started to glow blue chakra.

She gave a light sigh so no one could hear it.

"Haru, Misaki continue practicing this jutsu, i'll work with Tatsuya."

"Got it." They walked a little to the side and did as they were told. Once they were gone Sayuri silently jumped off the log and lowered Tatsuya's hands to make him stop.

"This is harder than I thought." "Yeah, see your problem is that you're not balancing your chakra. Usually you're not supposed to use this much chakra in this jutsu, but since we're starting i'll allow it." "Do I have to balance my chakra like the tree climbing exercise?" "Basically. Just like in the tree climbing, you have to focus your chakra. But, instead of putting it in one place you need to focus it all around your body."

"I see." "Alright now do it again."

Tatsuya was able to make two decent clones, but the rest of the clones could have been worked on, but maybe two was good. But just not enough.

They were there for hours, Tatsuya working on the same move; Haru, and Misaki working on the tree climbing exercise. Sayuri trying to do her best to push them to their fullest potentials.

The sun was coming down and they decided to call it a day.

xxxxx

On the way to Sasuke's house surprisingly Sayuri found none other than Sasuke himself thru the window of a store. This was the perfect opportunity to scare him.

She turned off her chakra so no one could sense it and snuck into the shop.

Sasuke picked up a pepper and examined it.

Sayuri tip-toed behind him while the cashier watched. It was pretty obvious she was going to scare the raven haired boy, so he didn't say anything.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE SASUKE!?" He didn't scream, but he made a weird face like he saw a ghost and was shot at the same time. He slowly turned around to see who it was. Once he turned around he figured it was her.

The cashier started laughing. "Shut up." Sasuke said in a deadly tone to the cashier. The cashier silenced in fear.

"Sasuke no! I'm sorry he's not gonna hurt you." The cashier relaxed and gave a sigh in relief. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you still be training the kids?" "It's getting late. Watcha buying?" She said changing the conversation.

"Some ingredients." "You don't have to make a home cooked meal all the time Sasuke, i'm happy with take-out." "Maybe.." "You're a stubborn mule." She said under her breath.

"Did you say something?" "Huh no!" She said waving her hands. He was still a little mad, but he he managed to chuckle.

xxxxx

Days went by, maybe even a week passed, Tatsuya managed to make four perfect clones and walk on trees without hesitation. The same with Haru and Misaki. They all already started walking on water, so far they could all do it, but couldn't keep it for long.

Sasuke even visited once while they were training. Spying of course, but it still made Sayuri happy.

After the kids finished learning how to do all the jutsus and skills Sayuri taught them, her mission was complete. Now she could either 1. leave and go home, or 2. stay and continue doing missions. Which one should she take?

Sayuri came back to the Hidden Leaf Village for one reason, she already completed that, so she didn't really have to stay.

The reason why she came back, was to see someone again. And now she did, but should she go back home and wait until she sees that person again, or stay here and continue seeing that person?

It was 11AM and Sayuri was hanging around in Sasuke's house in the living room, while he was out on a small mission. Currently she was wearing a tank top and pajama shorts, since it was hot outside.

All the window were widely opened, the clouds danced swiftly in the sky and the breeze went thru her hair. Basically there was nothing to do. "Ahh. What can I do today?"

She could always go and find Tatsuya and them. Nahh.

Suddenly she felt a chakra coming and heard the door. Automatically she got her kunai and hide in the blindspot of the room.

The door to the living room opened and Sayuri jumped up from behind. He spun around to counter attack. Sayuri realized who it was and stopped her swing. He did the same. But, they fell to the ground since she was jumping to him.

She had fell on him and they hit the ground. Her kunai had flew out her hand and slid on the floor. She placed her hand next to his head to carry her weight. "Sasuke your home!" "Were you trying to attack me or hug me?" He said confused.

He looked up and saw the kunai on the floor. "Oh it's not what you think!" He looked back at her, all of her. "Are you finished with your mission?" "Yeah." "That's good."

There was a silence. It took a while but, Sayuri finally realized that they were still on the ground, and she was still on top of him.

"Oh! Sorry!" She moved her front body up and continued to sit there until he got up. He heaved himself up and rested his elbow to carry his weight.

She placed her hand on the ground to push her body up. She moved aside and sat next to Sasuke indian-style.

"Hey Sasuke?" She said more like a question. "What's up?" "So my mission with the training is over.." "Right, it's been over for a couple days now, when are you gonna get your new mission?" "See that's it, I don't know if I want to take another mission.."

"But if you're going to be staying here you have to...oh" "See, I came here to this village for one reason, and I fulfilled that reason. So I don't know if I should go back home, or stay here a little longer and continue doing missions."

"What ever you want to do. Why did you come to this village?" "Uhh..to see someone I haven't seen in a long time." "So you saw the person again right?" "Yeah-" "Do you know if you'll see this person again?" "Pretty sure I will." "Then you should go back home, but..it's your decision."

"Alright, i'm going back home." He gasped, he didn't expect that answer from her.

"What do you think I should do?" He turned his head a little and his face flushed.

"Stay.." "Aww!" She sprung up and jumped on him and hugged him.

They rolled on the ground until they hit the wall. Except Sasuke was the one on top of her this time. He put his hands on the ground next to her head and lifted his body.

She smiled and lifted her elbows to carry her weight. Their faces were close.

"Are you really gonna go back?"

"Yeah."

Their faces got closer. She could practically feel his breath. They got even closer, and soon their lips were locked.
