Hello readers! It's been awhile since I had last updated. I apologize for my absence:( but I'm here for now, with a new chapter of "Scarlet Dawn"

Please review! I've got to know if I should continue this story.

"Stop, big brother!" Sasuke hissed in his sleep. Fumbling around on the chair.

"Sasuke?" I called his name. my voice a hesitant whisper as I watched over his restless form.

"Stop!" he snapped in his sleep. His voice sounding sharp. He fumbled around on the lounge chair.

"Hey!" I shook him. It took a bit of force, but the onyx eyed beauty snapped out of his sleepy haze. A thin sheet of sweat covered his pale skin and a look of uncertainty crossed his pretty face.

"You okay?" I asked. A little freaked out by how bad his night terrors were.

I wasn't surprised that he didn't answer. Instead he looked down at his shaking hands. A frozen look on his face. He then quickly stood up from the lounge chair and headed toward the door.

"Where you going?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Don't follow me." the Uchiha replied as he rushed out. Slamming the door behind him.

I frowned and looked at the door for a moment. As if I expected him to suddenly turn around and return. Without another thought I slipped into my Zori and grabbed my parasol.

There's a reason he didn't want me to follow him. And I'm going to find out why. I climbed out the window, to avoid grasping Suigetsu's attention when I walked pass his room. When my feet touched the grass covered ground, I immediately fell on my face.

"Oww!" I yelped.

Okay. Maybe I'm not "ninja" material. But sheesh, I have to get props for jumping from that window. I looked pretty cool. After dusting off my kimono and attempting to fix my hair. I walked from around the inn and headed up the path, deeper into the village.

The full moon shown dimly through the clouds above. A cool summer breeze blew, raising goose bumps on my bare arms. I walked past a small ramen shop, when I heard a familiar voice.

"What are you doing out here?"

I turned around, only to be face to face with Suigetsu. Who had a small frown on his face.

"I just wanted some fresh air." I replied smoothly

"You're supposed to be in bed." Suigetsu stated in a flat voice "You have two broken ribs."

"I'm sure I'll live." I said with a smile "Since when are you so pressed on sticking to the rules?"

The shark toothed nin rolled his violet eyes then muttered "Since you're out here, how about we get something to eat?"

I smiled and punched his arm lightly "Sure"

We entered the crowded, dimly lighted ramen shop. The heavy smell of fresh ramen filled my nostrils as we searched for a table. After choosing a booth in the back of the restaurant. We took our seats and skimmed the menu.

"So I take it as you're paying?" I questioned with a playful smile

Suigetsu returned the gesture. Showing his sharp teeth. "Only if you consider this a date."

My jaw hit the floor and I felt my cheeks burning with redness. I smiled again and asked "If I say no, do I have to pay?"

Suigetsu laughed. A smooth soothing sound that seemed to come from his soul.

"Too bad you don't want to say no. You just don't want to admit you'd actually go on a date with me." he replied smartly

My face grew darker "Shut the hell up!"

"You know you just love when I talk to you." he continued as his smile grew wider.

"Whatever!" I huffed.

After our ramen. We headed up the path toward the inn.

"You want to play a game?" I asked as I walked backwards in front of him.

"Sure." Suigetsu replied "But you'll lose badly"

I laughed "Tag!"

I quickly punched his chest and made a mad dash up the path. My silver haired teammate close behind me. As I ran, a faint pain rippled through my torso.

"I'm going to get you!" Suigetsu yelled at my back

I sprang into the air. Running across tree branches, trying to put distance between us. I turned around to see if my plan worked. Suigetsu was no where in sight. I turned back around only to be tackled out of the trees by Suigetsu himself.

We fell toward the ground. I was screaming the whole way down. Thinking I was going to hit the ground. I held my eyes tightly shut, clinching his shirt for dear life.

When I didn't feel the impact of the ground. I opened my eyes to see that Suigetsu was holding me in his arms. Our eyes locked. And the silence of the forest took over. I felt myself blushing again.

"You look cute blushing" he said. His voice so quiet I could barely hear him.

Suigetsu and Crimson? Will the unlikely pair end up more than friends? Will Sasuke ever open up to Crimson? And will she be able to go on the mission to retrieve Killer B?

Read the next chapter to find out what happens next!
