For Answers Lets Play a Game
"So you can see me?"
Before I can replay Sasuke is suddenly in my face staring me down with those burning red eyes. This close up to me, I can see that his eyes are the same as Itachi's. The pupil in the middle of three others, no wait they aren't other pupils, they have a tail. A little flip on the side…
With that familiar blank expression he reaches out towards me with his right hand only to be stopped by Inner grabbing his wrist with her left.
"What the hell do you want Caveman? How did you find us?" She demands, her eyes start to blacken as her cheeks grow their purple streaks.
He glances at her, disgust written on his face, "so you were what I sensed today. An annoying little demon… It seems as if you have led a far more interesting life then you let on Sakura." Returning to me Sasuke snarls, "Now tell me where my brother is!"
What should I do? Itachi clearly doesn't want to know his past yet. If he meets Sasuke will he remember? Or will nothing happen? What will Sasuke think when he learns Itachi is my spirit guide? And-hey wait a minute!
"How c-" I didn't get to finish my question because Inner attacked.
She jerks Sasuke to the side, her fist attempts to connect with his face. Its caught a mere moment before it makes contact. With both hands busy she brings up her leg and knees him in the chin. Bowing backwards from the force she had used I see her demonic face, grinning victoriously. That is until Sasuke throws her through the wall behind me. Frightened I whip my head to search for my companion. I crawl to the window above my bed and flatten my hands against the icy glass looking down I see Inner. She is on the floor in the middle of the street, knocked out from the force.
A hand covers my mouth as an arm wraps around my torso pulling me into a kneeling position against his solid chest. I breath heavily though my nose. Images of Inner lying helplessly on the concrete flies through my head while tears form in my eyes. Inner had just wanted to protect me! She is very proud of her job and takes it so seriously yet tonight she has been beaten by Itachi and his brother…
"Now where is he!" Sasuke growls in my ear.
I shake my head. Honestly I don't know where my spirit guide disappears to but that's not the only reason I tell him no. It's because of Inner. She's out there maybe hurt and I need to get to her! She might need to feed; she might be falling to another dimension for all I know!
At that thought I start jerking and thrashing. I need to get to her! Inner! Inner!
"Sakura stop!" he hisses as he tightens his grip on my stomach, forcing me to be cradled by his body. My hands rests upon his thighs that are on either side of mine, my feet are tangled with his, my back is flush against his front causing my hips to be nestled into his...
Suddenly my face feels as if it's on fire as my heart pounds rapidly. Don't think like that, think of Inner. Get thoughts damn thoughts out of your head Sakura! This is no time to be thinking dirty!
"Sakura," his hard voice whispers while his lips brush against the outer shell causing me to shiver, "where is he? I need to find him I have to know why he was killed."
Damnit! Is he seducing me?! I frantically guess. Obviously not on purpose because his tone is so serious but how do I get out of this situation? What would Inner do?
I stiffen as soon as I think that, groaning inside my head. Do I have a choice?
Carefully I try to move, This only causes Sasuke to growl is frustration at my refusal. Slowly I shimmy my hips causing his growls to suddenly stop. Instantly, as if he only just now realized the suggestive pose we were in he pushes me away from him. I cough as I turn back to look at him over my shoulder, there was a slight glow to his skin indicating how embarrassed he must feel.
"If you go get Inner I'll play ten questions with you." I say. Shortening it from the twenty so hopefully I can get some sleep and Inner can get better. "Five for you and five for me we each have to answer as honestly as we can."
For a moment he was silent but when his red eyes meet mine I see the resolution in them. He grunts his approval before he leaps through the window to get my best friend.
"How come you can phase through objects as if you were a spirit?" I ask first as I stroke Inners head that rests on my lap. I'm sitting on my bed near the window while Sasuke sits in my chair, his elbows are on his knees and his are interlocked in front of his face. The light from my lamp illuminating the room along with the moon.
With a sigh he answers. "Because right now I am a spirit." I open my mouth to ask how when he cuts me off. "Where is Itachi?"
"I don't know he comes and goes as he pleases. How are you a spirit right now? Wouldn't that mean your..." I don't finish because Sasuke answers with a roll of his strange eyes.
"No, I'm not dead. I'm an Uchiha." He arrogantly tells me as if that tells me any questions I might have. "Why does Itachi follow you?" I sigh.
"He's my spirit guide." I notice his eyes widen at this while he brings down his hands to lie on his jean clad thighs. It must not have crossed his mind. "What does being an Uchiha have to do with your spiritness right now?"
He clenches his teeth and fists before answering.
"What do you know about my clan?" he asks with an indifferent expression. I start to complain about the answer to my question but he shuts me up with a glare. "It does help answer your question." With a yawn I reply.
"I know your family has a different religion than others do. I know that many of your family members were lost during the Ninth Night and that you lost your parents after your brother's death. Oh and your family helped founded Konoha."
Sasuke nods, "So the basics." He whispers before looking me in the eye. "My clan worships the God Izanagi and his descendants Susanoo, Amataratsu and Tsukiyomi. We worship them because long ago before this city was created the Gods ruled. Many clans had specific deities to worship, mine just so happened to be Izanagi. Over time we were granted gifts and abilities because of our devotion." He points to his eyes. "This is called the Sharingan, it allows me to see the chakra of anything but only in my spiritual form. Once I achieve the Mongekyo Sharingan I can activate it while in my body. Because theses eyes can only be achieved outside of out body we were given the ability to astro project our souls for a limited amount of time."
I stare in awe at his description. If what he says is true then there should be more clans with awesome abilities. A click in my head makes me whisper my next question.
"Is that what happened to your parents? Did they stay out of their bodies for too long in search of Itachi?" A slow nod.
"What it that?" he asks jerking his chin in direction of Inner. "I thought it was simply a demon but it's not. There is something more to it than that."
I stare silently at Inner. Her sleeping face still covered in her markings and her hair fanning out over my thighs. Honestly I don't know how to answer his question. I mean she is my demon but she is so much more than that. She is…
"She's my best friend."
I look up to see him staring at me with an unreadable expression in his face.
We are each down to our last question.
"Earlier you mentioned something, chakra? What is that?"
With an annoyed filled glare he answers. "Chakra is the spiritual energy in all living things."
'Oh," I thought it would be more difficult or something.
"What are you?"
I jerk up, blinking at his question. "Excuse me?"
"What are you? You have so much chakra that it changed your coloring and," he stares pointedly at Inner. "You must have made that pathetic demon. Yet I don't see any claiming of a deity on you so what are you?"
A claiming of a deity? What does that mean, I wonder.
"I-I don't know."
With a snarl he gets up and leaves
Finally I relax until a thought causes me to curse.
I never asked him how he found out where I live.
A/N
Sorry I'm late with the update lately me and my dad have gotten into this show called Hero's and have been marathoning it! I totally love it and may even begin writing fanfictions about it once we watch it all.
Shout out to I Love You for commenting on my story! How did this story affect your life?
So what do you think about the Uchiha clan? About how their abilities work? In case you didn't know Susanoo and the others are really Japanese Gods and Goddesses. I thought it would work better this way when it comes to this story. Did you enjoy this SasuSaku chapter?
Next chapter will be in Inners POV. Let's see how she thought of her triple loss night.
