Chapter 15

Sasuke POV

I watched Ookami out of the corner of my eye. Her and Jinrou were so close. Their bond runs so deep. I couldn't get what I saw out of my head. She was treated so horribly for something that wasn't her fault. Ookami turned to look at me and smiled.

"Something wrong, Sasuke?" She asked. I shook my head and looked away. Naruto had disappeared to go training and he hasn't been back. I went out to go look for him.

Ookami POV

I was left in the house with Sakura and Kakashi. Tazuna's daughter and Inari were in other rooms doing who-knows-what, and Tazuna was out helping with the bridge. We sat around the table and I got up to go to the kitchen Sakura and Kakashi followed me. I raised an eyebrow but just ignored them. I made myself a mix I learned to make long ago that would end up as some sort of herbal mix of tea then went to go sit down. I smelled the top of the mug and sighed happily. It smelled like the forests I was used to when I was young all those years ago. I sat down again and they sat down on my left and right. I drank my tea with my eyes closed and hummed in pleasure.

"Ookami, how old are you?" Sakura asked out of nowhere. I put the mug down and looked at her.

"Sakura, it's very rude to ask a lady her age." I said slightly scolding and smiling.

"But you're a demon." Kakashi said.

"That doesn't stop me from being female." I snapped back insulted.

"I'm sorry, I was just curious." Sakura apologized. I waved off her apology.

"It's alright, I'd be curious too if I were you. I'm a few centuries old. I've lost count. Probably a few million years. Time doesn't affect me so I don't really pay attention." I said dismissively. Her eyes widened.

"Wow, then you must be very wise." She said in awe. I nodded.

"I am, or at least that's what I like to think." I said in a joking tone. Kakashi stood up and walked away saying he was gonna get some air. Sakura put her chin in her hand and looked at me. I did the same and looked at her. With my other hand pointed my finger at her and chakra came out of me. It molded to her hair and it looked like she had bright blue hair instead of her bright pink hair. I molded my chakra and moved it making her different hair styles. Her hair stuck to my chakra and if I lifted it up it would looked like she had pink roots and blue hair. We messed around and laughed. I gave her bangs to cover her forehead and then spiked her hair. I made it long, then short. I made her hair look like a duck's ass and we both laughed.

"Haha, my hair looks like a duck's ass!" She said between her laughter.

"Yup, exactly like Sasuke's." I said and we laughed harder. Jinrou was cracking up in my head.

"I wasn't aware my hair looked anything like a duck's ass." A monotone voice said from behind us. We stopped and looked around. It was Sasuke standing there with Naruto in tow. We both chuckled awkwardly at his stare.

"Um, hey Sasuke." We both said quietly. He glared. I shot up and jumped on his back. He caught me on instinct. 'TIME FOR A DISTRACTION!' I yelled at myself.

"Hey Sasuke, have you noticed how attracted Jinrou is to you?" I asked pressing myself close to him. He blushed.

"W-what?" He stuttered out taken by surprise.

'OOKAMI WHAT THE HELL!' Jinrou shrieked at me. I fell backwards off of Sasuke and held my head. 'WHY IN THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THAT?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AWKWARD THINGS ARE GONNA GET?!' She was shrieking and freaking out. She wouldn't stop yelling. I winced.

"Sorry sorry, just stop shrieking." I muttered and closed my eyes.

'I WOULDN'T BE SHRIEKING IF YOU HADN'T SAID THAT!' She yelled and I could tell she was blushing. I smirked and chuckled then winced again.

"Soooorry." I said teasing. Sasuke and Naruto were staring at me. I waved them off and got up. "Jinrou was shrieking at me." I told them. They nodded. Naruto looked kinda mad and Sasuke looked taken by surprise. Sakura shook her head at me as if to say 'Couldn't you've thought of a better distraction?' I shook my head at her and shrugged. I walked to the room I stayed in and laid down. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I really hope Zabuza doesn't show up tomorrow.

~the next day~

We were at the bridge. We left Naruto behind because he was still asleep. I leaned on the side of the bridge and overlooked the water. I sighed as a cool breeze swept across my face. Suddenly it became foggy and I froze. 'Oh shit'

'You can say that again.' Jinrou muttered in my mind. Out of the fog came Zabuza and a boy with a mask. Dammit.
