A/N: Sasuke may be a bit OOC, but that's because he's sort of happy.

Passion and Tears

Sasuke's POV

It was a normal d-

"SUIGETSU!!!" a shrill voice screamed.

Yeah, it was definately a normal day for Team Snake.

I smiled softly as I watched my shark smirk evilly at the red-headed girl.

"What do you need, my dear sweet Karin?" Suigetsu asked with an innocent front.

"Cut the crap, Suigetsu," Karin snarled.

"Cut the crap, Suigetsu," the blue boy mimicked.

"You're so immature," she retorted.

"You're so immature."

I sighed. Naruto and Sakura were never this bad. My eyes shifted over towards Juugo.

Is he talking to a bird?

I still wasn't sure on how to feel about him. On one hand, I was glad that he helped me get the loud shark, but my insides churned with bitter feelings when I thought of Suigetsu in his lap. Almost as if he knew I was watching him, Juugo turned towards me and smirked. I made sure to to give him a blank stare before turning back to Karin's and Suigetsu's fight.

"Stop it!" Karin yelled trying to hit Suigetsu.

"Stop it!" he mocked.

Karin stopped suddenly then announced, "I'm stupid."

Suigetsu caught himself before he repeated the words and replied,"...Yes, you are."

Laughter exploded from Suigetsu, while Karin bristled in agitation. She was finally able to land a hit on his head, as he was curled over howling in amusement.

"Ow...bitch," he muttered while rubbing the sore spot.

Karin stalked off towards the nearby hot spring; Suigetsu crawled his way over to me and plopped himself next to me with a cute pout on his face.

He really is too adorable for his own good.

"What did you do this time?" I asked.

"Koibito , I was giving her some helpful tips on how to be less bitchy and she just flipped out," Suigetsu explained.

"Mmm hmm, and?"

"...And I might have cut some of her hair off while she was sleeping, BUT the point is I was trying to help her," he finished off.

"So, what were the imitations for?"

"I was demonstrating her bitchiness."

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

He chuckled then we fell into silence. It was times like these that I loved the most. Whether it was after sex or was similar to a moment we were having now, the quiescence with Suigetsu made me...happy.

I looked around the small clearing we were camped in. We had been here for about three days. There had been sightings of Akatsuki members, but we hadn't seen anyone so far.

"Sasuke?" Suigetsu asked softly.

I looked at him and smiled a bit when I saw the red staining his cheeks, as he gazed at his lap.

"Umm, well do you have to fight...Itachi. Couldn't you, well, forget about him?"

The smile dropped from my face when I heard the name of the bane of my life. The comfortable silence disappeared and a dense strain replaced it. I saw Karin come out of the forest, wringing her hair. Juugo had apparently finished his conversaiton with his bird and was now whittling at wood.

I stood up and murmured, "Follow me."

I walked out of the clearing and headed into the forest with Suigetsu trailing behind me. We trekked some ways away from the campsite so we wouldn't be overheard. I suddenly stopped and felt Suigetsu run into my back. He muttered a quick sorry as I turned around to face him.

"...You know what Itachi did to my clan right?" I asked.

He nodded.

"The night I found out that Itachi killed our clan, he told me that if I wished to kill him, I would have to hate him even go so far as to detest him. That night he told me to run and cling to life and go back to him when I have the same eyes he had. I've trained and sought power in order to kill my brother, to avenge my clan. So to answer your previous question, no I can not forget Itachi until he is dead."

Suigetsu visibly cringed at my apathetic, bitter tone. My eyes softened at his bowed head. I placed my hands on his hips and backed him into a tree. Tipping his chin up, I grazed my lips against his gently. Suigetsu's hands wrapped around my neck as I deepend the kiss to a more passionate level. I swept my tongue across familiar razor sharp teeth and the caverns of his mouth. Once I was done exploring, I proceeded to twist my own wet appendage around Suigetsu's. Heat began to fill my abdomen as I slowly began grinding against Suigetsu's member. Abruptly I pulled away from our ardent kiss, much to Suigetsu's chagrin, leaving us both panting. I smiled at his annoyed face with tints of red in his cheeks.

"Don't worry about me. I will end his life and avenge my clan," I whispered.

Suigetsu looked away blushing. "I wasn't worried about you," he mumbled unconvincingly.

I was about to capture his lips agains when I felt it: chakra. His chakara washed over me, filling me with absolute hatred.

What is he doing here?

"Sasuke?" Suigetsu asked warily.

Doesn't matter.

"Go back to Juugo and Karin," I ordered then turned and dashed towards the direction of the chakara.

I will kill you...Itachi

A/N: hey guys. thanks for the feedback. It's good to see so many familiar usernames and I think I might've seen some new ones. Yay! Ummm, let's see hopefully the ending wasn't too confusing. Sasuke sensed Itachi's chakara and is now heading towards it. I'll just tell you now this story is going to be picking up in the next chapter!! Here's a little preview:

something happens to Suigetsu (le gasp)

That's all you get, lol. I apologize for any grammatical, sentence structure, and spelling errors. REVIEW
