Chapter 13: Maki

The sudden knock on the door almost made Naruto jump out of her skin. She didn't mean to eavesdrop; it was just hard for her to move upon hearing the sound of Sasuke's voice. Naruto felt heat rise to her cheeks as she answered the door.

"Here," someone said, dropping a bag of apples into Naruto's arms, "you dropped them."

"Thanks a lot, umm…"

"Maki. The name's Maki."

"…Maki…"

Silence.

Maki bit her lip. "You…didn't hear that did you?"

"No! Of course not," Naruto lied.

"Doesn't matter if you did; he was a bastard anyway."

Naruto empathized with her completely.
