SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO UPDATE.

I NEVER HAD TIME TO WRITE BECAUSE OF THE CHRISTMAS PREPARATION IN OUR SCHOOL WE HAD TO DO IN ALL, ANYWAY

HERE IT IS!

___KASUMI"S POV________________________

"Wakey, wakey, Kasumi-chan" I heard a playful voice while being gently shaken

I opened my eyes and immediately looked furious.

"TOBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted while started to strangle him but somehow in a blink of an eye I found him standing beside me instead.

"Calm down Kasumi chan. Tobi didn't mean to upset you but Tobi really needed to say bye bye before he and sempai go." Tobi said

"Tobi's right. Un" I heard Deidara say as I looked beside me, he was packing up some of his clay.

"What? Why? Where are you guys going?" I asked them

"Leader gave us a mission early this morning. We are to investigate something in a certain village, un"

"Really? I see. So when are gonna return?"

"Maybe in about two days, un" He answered looking all serious

"Um okay then" I said with a smile with an Im-so-gonna-miss-them feeling inside of me

"Okey!! See soon, Kasumi chan" Tobi said as he carelessly headed for the door "Hurry up, sempai!"

"You go ahead. I need to talk to Kasumi for a minute, un" Deidara said as he looked at Tobi

SILENT PAUSE.................................

"Um.............OKEY!" Tobi said as He closed the door

"What is it? Deidara" I asked him

He then stood up infront of me and patted my right shoulder with another heart warming smile.

"Kasumi, un" He said as he pulled me from my shoulder and gave me a tight hug. I didn't try to get off from his grip because It felt right and besides He's gonna be gone for two days.

"Dei---" I was interrupted

"Shhh Please let it stay like this for a minute, un" Deidara whispered to me

I sighed. Seconds passed then I asked:

"What is it really that you should be telling me, Deidara?" I asked him while still around his arms

"It's just that...well.......I'll see you soon, un" Deidara suddenly said as he let go of me and headed out the door but not before he turned around to where I was standing and said

"Remember, you will be personally trained by Itachi today. Be careful, He's not the type of guy whom you would try and underestimate. Un" Deidara made a serious laugh as he went out and closed the door"

_____End Of Kasumi's POV____________________

Kasumi froze from where she was standing. From the time he hugged her tightly, she felt so warm inside, for the first time in her life, She actually started to LIKE someone she really didn't know before. It felt good for her.

"Oh, right. It's time for me to train, Itachi must be waiting for me." She said snapping out of it. She took a bath, combed her hair and got dressed and then went out the door.

"Finally, you're out" a heard a deep voice from a dark distance Geez they should really put on lights in this stupid base she thought then out from the darkness was Itachi staring at his with his dark grey and intense eyes.

"Hehe sorry" she said while pretending to laugh but was really a bit scared of him.

"Alright then, We'll train outside the base" He said as he walked out the back doo of the base. Kasumi followed.

They were out the base and took a few steps away. Itachi then turned around began to attack Kasumi with a swift kick. She was able to summon crystals and used it as shield to his kick. But the kick was so strong that it broke the shield and the impact caused her to be pushed back ten meters away from where she was standing.

"You should always be alert whenever an enemy tries attacks you. And sometimes it's best to dodge than to just try and deflect all the time especially if you don't know the enemy's strength" she heard him say

Okay then I she spoke in her mind

She charged at him. He threw a couple of kunais at her but she dodged it, got closer and kicked him which sent him flying back. But to her surprise, It was just a Kagebunshin (CLONE) and the body scattered into a great number of crows. Then suddenly Itachi was already standing behind her beginning to stab her with a kunai. She immediately made a couple of hand signs and at the moment the kunai almost reached her body, she substituted a crystal her.

Now where is she. I can't seem to sense her chakra at all Itachi whispered to himself

Itachi started to take a few steps then suddenly red crystals came out of the ground and crystallized his feet, another two came out to crystallize hands. Itachi couldn't move. Kasumi made a beautiful entrance out from the ground infront of Itachi but he didn't seem surprised at all. She then instantly launched a full DIAMOND STORM attack on Itachi. With his hands and feet crystallized, there was no way for him to move or do any hand signs to escape at all. He then activated his powerful sharringan.

Kasumi stood surprised while watching Itachi. Itachi then dodged the crytals that were to aim at his head, He then destroyed the crystals with his chakra and used a fire technique to burn all the rest.

Then instantly he was two inches away from Kasumi and pinned her back infront of a tree. He made his sharringan disappear.

There was a moment of silence.

Wind blowed both their hair to oneside. His face then started to come closer to hers.

"Stop it! What are you gonna do?" Kasumi said as she started to close my eyes feeling a bit scared of what he might do.

He whispered in her ears "I don't know why but I somehow feel drawn to you" he ginned

Kasumi wasn't able to hear him well due to the uncomfortable feeling that Itachi was giving.

"Wh—What did you say?"

He grinned and laughed once more.

"It was okay, that last move you made really had me going that I had to activate my sharringan, but I still think you need to train even harder" He said to Kasumi as he headed back to the base.

Kasumi then stood up blushing. Oh man! What did he say? She thought to herself.

TIME PASSED

Kasumi entered her room feeling a bit lonely without Deidara's company with her.

Tell me what you think of this chapter
