The walk from the fence to Sasuke seemed almost eternal, though of course it only took a few seconds. Uren was determined not to be humiliated again; keeping her cool, green eyes fixated on Sasuke, her chin up. Sasuke, himself, was looking up at the sky, no emotion obvious within his gaze. Eventually Uren stopped in front of him and the Uchiha brought his eyes down to greet hers; sending a thrill up her body. There was a small silence which Uren eventually broke. "What?" her voice was harsh, her stance tensed; as if ready to avoid an attack. Sasuke hid a small smirk as he replied. "You need training," he explained steadily, no humour in his tone. "You were too easy of an opponent." Uren stalled; the boy had just called her over so that he could insult her? A burning rage began building within the girl. "Is that so?" she replied smoothly; only her glinting eyes betrayed any anger. "Well, thank you for that useless piece of information-" Sasuke shook his head, cutting off the girl's train of speech. "It's your stance," he explained. "You make it too obvious that you're about to attack." Uren's eyebrow's lowered as each word came out of his mouth, in that stupid, slow, steady tone of his. "It is not obvious," she returned rudely; a glower present on her face. "I'm leaving. You've had your fun," the Kunoichi went to leave, but Sasuke was too quick; his hand wrapped around her wrist firmly. A shock of electricity, due to his touch, raced through Uren. Blushing hard, she turned to look at him. "What do you want?" she snapped icily, shaking her wrist so as to free herself, Sasuke's grip was unrelenting however, and so she stayed trapped. "Work on your stance," he replied, Uren opened her mouth ready to swear at him, but then he presented a heart shaped crystal to her...one of her crystals. "And stop letting your anger get the better of you," he continued before glancing down at the crystal. "At least in battles." Uren stared at the crystal, outstanded, when had she made that? And how had he got a hold of it? "Whu...?" her confused eyes flickered from the crystal and up to Sasuke, and she was surprised to see he was examining her; his eyes scanning her face with what appeared to be mild interest. Growling due to embarrassment, anger and confusion; Uren shook her wrist again. Sasuke freed her finally and then tucked the crystal away into his pocket. A little perplexed as to why he would wish to keep it, Uren opened her mouth, but then thought better and closed it again. Whipping around, the girl strode off, with Sasuke's eyes upon her all the way. 'I don't think I've hated anyone more than I hate him...' She thought, 'and is he STILL looking at me? Where on earth did he get one of MY crystals and in that shape! Sharingan can't copy the crystal jutsu...' She trailed off into more elongated thought as she kicked open one of the lairs many doors seething into the darkness within. She strode along with balled fists until she reached her room and swiftly made for her sisters journal and began flicking through the pages. 'Stance, stance, stance...' She thought, desperately serching for her sisters notes on battle training with Orochimaru.
