Holy cow! Fifty-two reviews already! That makes me feel awesome guys! I'm happy you all are enjoying the story so much and thanks for all those who have reviewed!

I warn you that this chapter contains a very graphic scene. And that the content touches on a very sensitive subject. I hope by writing and publishing this does not offend anyone.

The song for this chapter is "I Caught Myself" by Paramore!

Disclaimer: I don't have the pleasure of owning Naruto:(

-Although you push me away; still I fight to stay-

Karin stepped into my face. She was about a half foot taller than me and could literally break my face. Maybe if I act like I could care less she'd feel defeated and leave.

"Ladies cut it out" Suigetsu said stepping between us "No reason to get catty"

"Hmph" Karin scoffed "It's okay we'll fight another day. Besides, I don't want Sasuke to think I'm ruthless by kicking your butt."

Then she brushed past me and strutted down the hall. Suigetsu chuckled next to me; forcing me to turn my gaze to him.

"What's so funny?" I asked trying not to snap at him

"That Karin thinks she'll be able to kick your butt after you train under me."

I couldn't help but smile. Jugo walked up the hall followed by a mass of small colorful birds.

"Sasuke says we are going to Hiroto town." he said

"Why?" I asked looking at the tall orange haired man

"No specific reason." Suigetsu stated "Just a place to stay while we train."

"Yeah" Jugo agreed "Sasuke says this squad is going to be undergoing some changes within a few weeks, I highly doubt you we're one of them."

Then it hit me. Sasuke hadn't started his plan to destroy Konoha. For now. He was preparing the squad. Making then train before he changes the name and tells them their new mission.

As we headed up the hall outside; I was engrossed in my thoughts. How could Sasuke be colder than before? Was he going to pretend that what we never happened? I know he let it too; the sparks.

After five minutes of waiting, Sasuke came outside. Upon seeing him, my heart beat sped up. He gave me a glance. Our eyes locking. His once familiar obsidian eyes were cold. Desolate. Full of and poisonous fire…hate.

He walked past me. Without a word. Not that I expected him to say anything anyway. Following his lead; we followed the raven haired ninja up the long path toward Hiroto town.

For the longest time the only sound was our feet crunching the dirt and Jugo's birds tweeting. The sun was high in the blue cloudless sky, covering the land in a hot blanket of warmth.

Soon the sun was setting over the horizon. Since we were no where near Hiroto town; we decided to set up camp in a small opening in the forest.

"There is a waterfall about a mile away from here." Jugo said as he pitched his tent.

"Sounds cool" I mumbled watching the orange flames of the campfire lick against the darkness.

Sasuke walked over and sat down across the campfire from me. I kept my eyes on the flames, refusing to look up at him. Despite my will; I found myself checking him out.

Racking my eyes over his body. Its been a year since I had seen him and he's changed. His body was so muscular and toned. Built more like…a man.

I didn't notice I was blatantly staring at the fallen angel with a perverted look on my face, until Suigetsu yelled my name.

"Crimson! Jeez, are you death!"

I snapped out of my lust-filled stare and looked up at my violet eyed acquaintance.

"Huh?"

Suigetsu gave me a frown "Lets go. Time to train"

"At night?" I questioned looking confused

"Yes." came his response "It's too hot during the day."

"M'kay, but do I need anything-"

"Lets go!" he blared grabbed me by the hand and running away from the campsite. Dragging me close behind him.

"Why are we running?" I finally asked after a few minutes.

"Actually, I don't know." Suigetsu replied slowing down into a walk

We walked a few feet before I noticed he was still holding my hand.

"Ahem." I gestured toward our linked fingers.

"Oh sorry." Suigetsu smiled as he released my fingers .

We walked for twenty minutes, before we came upon a large field, full of long green grass and white flowers.

"First, we are going to test your chakra affinity." Suigetsu said as he pulled a small sheet of white paper from his pocket.

"A sheet of paper?" I asked blankly like I dint know

Suigetsu rolled his eyes "Just focus on this sheet and the way it reacts will determine your chakra affinity."

I nodded almost bursting with excitement "Alright, Suigetsu-Kun."

"It's Suigetsu-sensei to you." he replied with a sly smirk. That sent unwanted chills down my spine. A light blush tainted my cheeks.

"Okay Suigetsu-Sensei!" I hissed at him.

"Much better" he stated "Now hurry up and take the test."

After awhile of my staring a the damned piece of paper, something finally happened. The sheet of paper split into two.

"Ah, an affinity for wind." Suigetsu said

"Yes!" I cheered pumping my fist in the air.

After a long grueling training session, I walked up the path toward the waterfall Jugo mentioned earlier. I was tired, sweaty, and slightly bruised. I came to an large opening to see a huge waterfall. Full of clear sparkling water. A blooming cherry blossom tree sat next to the water. The pale pink flowers seemed to glow under the silver light spilling from behind the clouds.

My eyes wandered across the water to see none other than the fallen angel himself leaned back against a rock.

"Sasuke-Kun." I thought my eyes getting wide.

I wanted to run over and hug him, but something about the air around him. It actually made me feel…uneasy. With a sigh, he took off one of his blue wrist warmers.

"What's he doin-"

Then I seen it. Shiny and small. Glimmering dangerously against the barely lit darkness around him. A kunai.

My heart started thudding unmercifully against my sore chest. As badly as I wanted to move: I couldn't. My legs frozen in place, eye transfixed on the simmering blade. That had slowly made its way to he pale wrist of the Uchiha.

A thin line of blood, trickled down his hand and fingers. Tainting the once clear water with color. He looked so content with the pain it tore my heart to pieces.

Then I moved. Running over toward Sasuke. I dint notice that I was basically screaming hysterically for him to stop. He looked up blankly at me. Not even attempting to hide what he was doing.

I sat down next to him. Almost falling over on him.

"Please stop it!" I snapped breathlessly

"What do you care?" he asked sharply his eyes looking suddenly demented.

"Because I love you." I thought but the words wouldn't escape my quivering lips.

"Just stop it before you seriously hurt yourself." I retorted fumbling in my newly acquired ninja pouch

"Hn" Sasuke smirked a crazed look crossed his overly beautiful face "Don't worry. I'm not going to give into death until I obliterate Konoha. I can't wait to see them cower in my wake."

"He's further off than I imagined." I thought focusing my attention of his bleeding wrist.

"Why would you want to destroy that village?" I questioned quietly

Sasuke laughed. I mean tilted his head back, laughing hysterically almost maniacally. "To cleanse the beloved Uchiha name."

Crimson is exposed to the nearly psychotic Sasuke. Will she decide that she should just give up on him? Training with Suigetsu is going well. But will a innocent Sensei-Student relationship ever evolve to something deeper?
