~Day 7~

"SEVENTH DAY!" I run towards Naruto's apartment as I push people aside to reach my destination. Every one grunts in annoyance and some exclaims in shock but I shrug it all off. I bang on Naruto's door as I continue to shout 'SEVENTH DAY'. I suddenly heard someone curse and hear a loud thud on the floor. The door forcibly opens, Naruto stands there with an annoyed look on his face, and he glares at me through his half opened eyes.

"SEVENTH DAY!" I shout.

"So?"

I look at him surprisingly. ".NTH " I talk slowly to make him realize what's so important with this day.

He rubs the bridge of his nose as he sighs annoyingly. "The seventh day is today." He mutters under his breath.

"Yes, the SEVENTH DAY is today. Now are you going to help me or not?" I glare at him, but I know he doesn't know it since I know he is still half asleep.

"Oh, poor Mizuki, you lost…" He says in a false despair tone of voice. "I'm going to bed." He was about to close the door but I stop it with my hand. He shots me a glare I shoot him one back.

"By the rules of time the end of the day doesn't end until 12:00 midnight. So either you help me or I'll spread the rumor about a certain orange haired ninja who ate a certain animal on a certain dare!" His face quickly drops to the floor. He sighs tiredly as he drags his body upstairs to change his clothes. I wait a good amount of time. The moment he opened the door I grab his hand as I ran with him lagging behind me. We reach the training grounds, exactly where I thought he was. And I was right he was there with the same stoic look on his face with a small bead of sweat running down the side of face. The same scenario the day I pledge to make the great avenger of Konoha smile. He stares at both of me and Naruto and it almost seemed like he…scowled? At what? Me? Naruto? Me and Naruto? That's very strange. I've never seen Sasuke scowl before. Glare, hiss, and smirk maybe but never scowl. Whatever could have made the great Sasuke Uchiha scowl?

"Why the hell did you drag me here Mizu-chan? I have enough of his face at training." Naruto points at Sasuke, Sasuke lets out another scowl. I shake my head and snap out of my thoughts.

"Certain Ninja. Certain Animal. Certain Dare. Certain Rumor." I repeat again as he sighs in defeat. I let go of his hand when I realized that I was holding onto him a little bit too long.

"Alright whadda' ya want me to do? Sing until he smiles? Be in pain until he smiles? Or should I just bring his fan girls here?" I was about to respond to his nonsense when Sasuke steps in between us and glares at Naruto. With his back still facing me. He suddenly challenges Naruto to a battle. It takes a full minute for Naruto to register what he just said, granting that he has no ramen in his stomach, when he actually does get it. He grins idiotically and agrees.

"Wait a minute. Naruto! We didn't come here for that. Do you know how long your ninja battles last?" I give him a questioning look through the side of Sasuke.

"But Mizuki!" He whines.

"No buts' mister. Now stop whining and help me get Sasuke to smile!" I take a pause as I replay what I just said in my head. Finally registering it I say, "That was the weirdest thing I've ever had to say. It almost sounded like I was a mother."

"And not a very good one." Sasuke adds making Naruto snicker. Who knew Sasuke had a sense of humor? I guess he always had one but never uses it due to the bad boy image thing.

I glare at Naruto to make him stop snickering. I sigh annoyingly at Sasuke; Sasuke then turns serious and by the looks of it. He was glaring at Naruto.

"Naruto, if you and Mizuki want to have a date. Have it somewhere else. I don't need to have two idiots bothering me today." He says stoically, me and Naruto look at each other. I almost burst out laughing but Naruto couldn't contain his laughter as he started to burst into a hissy fit of laughter.

"Y-you t-think m-me a-and h-her!" He points at me amidst his laughter. "A-are D-DATING?" I couldn't contain my laughter as I giggle lightly.

"Like I'd ever date Naruto! His a nice guy and all but his just not my type." I add.

Naruto stops laughing and wipes away the tear on his face. "Yeah, I don't go for mean and blackmailers."

I glare at him but he just a shoots me a look that says you-know-what-I-mean. I, on the other hand, refuse to accept such insult and fire back with my own brand of smart-assnitude, "And besides, Naruto ate a lizard and that's a huge turn off for me." Naruto looks at me like he was about to have a heart attack. Sasuke smirks at my little comment, making me blush a little. Only a little

"Mizuki you are so mean." He mutters silently. I gave him a reassuring smile that I meant no harm by it.

"Anyway, going back to the original plan," I turn to Sasuke who was now face both of us. "How to make you smile."

Naruto suddenly started walking away. I turn to him and shout,

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

"Home! I am hungry and sleepy. So unless if you can conjure up a bed and a bowl of ramen, which I know you can't since I thought ahead." Wow, Naruto thinking ahead. That's something new. I thought as he continue to ramble on and on about ramen but luckily I snapped out of my thoughts just in time to hear him say, "I am outta' here!" I was about to remind him how blackmail works because it seems that thinking ahead is his forte for the day. The sky started to go dark. I look up and it almost felt like I just saw Dracula staring down at me. It was about to rain…and rain means thunder. I look back to where Naruto was but he was already gone. He left me! And just when it's about to rain and he calls me mean.

I look back at Sasuke who was unperturbed by the dark clouds…it almost seems like his happy to see the gloomy image. Me, on the other hand felt like someone was choking me. I look around to see if there was a place I could hide or at least block out the sound of thunders that was about to come. But everywhere I looked was just a huge vast area of no hiding places. It was killing me, any second now it was going to rain cats and dogs and it was going to let out a thunderous sound so huge. I might just have a panic attack.

Sasuke's POV:

I look at her as she turns and occasionally looks up to see the clouds. She was definitely scared. Naruto already told me about her irrational fear of thunder. It was pathetic to see such a high noble like her cower at the mere thought of a sound.

The sky crackles and a bolt of lightning appears in the sky. It doesn't rain though almost as if the sky is teasing her. I look at her again. She was covering her ears and shaking. This is the first time I've ever seen her so…scared. Somehow my body seems to react to her predicament…and it takes every fiber in my whole body just to stop my initial reaction. Another bolt of lightning appears in the sky followed by a loud thunder almost like a shotgun. I look back at her again…she was crying. That must have really scared her because her hand was trembling and she was crying uncontrollably. Then my instincts kick in again and it takes me a whole lot more not to grab her hand and hug her…

WHAT THE HELL?

WHY THE HELL IS SHE AFFECTING ME LIKE THIS?

I CAN'T BE…..FALLING FOR HER?

HELL NO!

Mizuki's POV:

You have no idea how scared I was at that very moment. I have NEVER been so close to thunder that I actually started crying. I might have shed a tear or two but never full on waterworks. The feeling of being so vulnerable might have been a factor to my crying. I take a glance at Sasuke from the corner of my eye. He was staring at me and it almost seemed like he was in a deep thought. Then just like that he had an expression on his face like something just hit him square on the face. He looked up but I could still see the confused look on his face. Another thunderous sound echoed in the vast area. I close my eyes shut to block out the sound but it was useless. The sound of thunder is too loud for my feeble hands to block out. I open my mouth to say something only to be interrupted by the monstrous sound of the sky. Then, I couldn't take anymore. My feet suddenly had a mind of their own and I was dragged away from the place but my feet didn't take me far because once I reached the nearest tree, which was 4-5 feet away from where I last stood, I sat beside the tree and continued my useless effort to shut out the monsters in the sky. After regaining some self-controlled I started to quite down a bit. My father would've been ashamed to see me in this condition. Crying and broken…but then again he always saw me like this and as usual…he didn't pay any attention.

I wasn't really planning that this day would turn out the way it did but I never really had control over my life. It seems like from the very beginning I've been dancing in the palm of Fate. I always knew this but I never paid any attention to it until my step-mother died. That was pretty much the turning point of my life. It made me rethink everything. One, being as to why a noble woman like my step-mother would adopt someone like me, I was never the brightest crayon in the box and entering into a family that expects a three year old to learn to play Mozart really pressured me to do my best. Not only was I adopted but I was also poor before I was adopted. So, poor equals no education. I desperately tried to empress my father. He did recognize me as a person eventually but that took 11 years of my life.

11 years of reaching perfection…

Only to land in a so-so level.

I suddenly heard light footsteps coming towards me but I didn't know who it was since my eyes were closed shut to stop my tears. He or she takes a sit beside me and he or she places his hand on my head. Instinctively, I look up through my tear filled eyes to see Sasuke beside me and placing a hand on my head as if a way of comfort but if he did had an ulterior motive. I didn't see it because his face was or rather his eyes were covered by his bangs.

"Sasuke?" Surpassing the urge to cry again was already futile as something else hits me. "Sasuke…I failed…I didn't make you smile…It's almost the end of the day…I'm sorry."

He starts to stroke my head in a comforting manner but says nothing…until, what felt like a lifetime passed, he finally opens his mouth to speak.

"Don't be an idiot."

I look up and see a smirk clearly plastered on his face.

"It's amazing how you make me happy…simply by being you."

I look at him wide eyed. Did he just say what I think he said? Did he say he was happy or has the thunder really messed up my ability to hear? I look up at the sky and the blue clouds started to reappear again. Birds started to chirp again. The leaves greener from the shower of water.

Finally after what seemed like a week of torture…

I made Sasuke Uchiha happy…not smile…but happy…which was way better and I can't wait to rub this in Naruto's face!

I did something no one else could do or even dared to do, I made the great avenger happy.

And absentmindedly he did something for me that no one else could ever do….

He stopped the rain.
