The Uchiha Princess

~.Chapter - 28.~

"Kakashi? May I step out for a bit?" Makaira asked wanting to walk around a bit, she had been taking care of Kakashi since they got back and he seems stable enough that she could leave his side. She needed some time with her thoughts alone, it was not that she was mad at Sasuke, she was but she also understands that reason behind it which makes it all so much confusing. She never really realized how much Sasuke meant to her before, he had always been there, her best friend and her husband and they had been to young to know about what these things truly meant but after she had woke up, she could feel something has changed. She feels weird around Sasuke, he has always been there with her but now it gives her this weird fluttering feeling whenever he takes care of her or shows her affection or the fear the coursed through her when she saw him pointing the kunai towards himself. She did go to the doctor to see what was wrong but when she explained everything the doctor just laughed, shaking his head saying she is alright.

"Sure" Kakashi nodded knowing that the girl needed to sort her thoughts and feelings, she managed to keep a grip over her emotions due to grave situation which was admirable. Makaira nodded thanks towards Kakashi as she got up and walked out of the room.

She walked along the hallway, she spotted Sasuke ahead of her by the window, leaning at the wall, his eyes closed and arms crossed. She narrowed her eyes at him, thinking o f walking past him without paying him any attention but as she walked, her legs seem to have a mind of their own and stopped in front of him, Sasuke suddenly grabbed her arm and held her loose enough so it won't hurt her but tight enough so she won't escape in front of him. Makaira said nothing and looked at the ground with a sad looked looming over her face, she was feeling too many emotions to figure out what to say at the moment.

"You've been ignoring me since you woke up. What did I do?" He asked calmly with a hint of anger in his voice but it was mostly a concern, Makaira could make it out no matter how much he tried to cover it with anger. Makaira had never kept her emotions from Sasuke, no matter what, her emotions were always in front for him, clear and in plain sight. She never left the need for it to be more complex but recently the feelings that she get are something she hasn't confronted Sasuke about, he doesn't know about the doctor's visit she had made. Makaira's mind flashed back to Sasuke pointing the kunai to himself with his hands shaking and body tense as he brought the kunai closer, Makaira gasped softly it was hardly audible as she started to tear up at that, her hands shot up to Sasuke's chest over his heart which seemed to be beating faster than usual and the other to his wrist over his pulse point feeling his heartbeat, Makaira needed to know that he was alive and well.

"Makaira? Hey, don't cry. I'm sorry, whatever I did, I'm Sorry. I'll try my best to fix it" He said as he wiped away her tears. Makaira collapsed into him as he held her tightly in an embrace keeping both of them up. "You were about to kill yourself." Makaira whispered so softly that Sasuke had to focus to hear what she was saying.

"Oh. That" He said, he can't seem to find the right response for that, Makaira had not reacted at the time but he didn't expect that it had impacted her so much. She has never been the one to be angry over small things so Sasuke was worried that he must have messed up big time but hearing her say that made him feel a warmth in his chest.

"I can't believe you Sasuke?! Taking your own life?! What about me huh? Did you ever think about how I'd feel if you die? Or what would happen to me? You really were going to leave me like that" Makaira continued to cry as Sasuke didn't loosen his grip on her, holding her close.

"You're right. I'm really sorry, Makaira. It's not that I didn't think about you, I wasn't thinking at all at that time," He hugged her tighter, squeezing her a little bit, but to be honest she didn't mind, she needed that not that she would admit it in front of him at least not at that moment.

"I hate you. I hate you so much" Makaira said as she hid her face in his neck. Her words didn't seem to match her actions as she held onto him.

"Forgive me, Hime. I shouldn't have done that" Sasuke couldn't help but use her nickname at that point. "Don't do that ever again!" Makaira pulled away as she looked into his eyes, wanting a promise from him. "I won't. I promise" he said with a smile. Makaira stared at him looking for signs that he might be lying but found none. She moved her hand from over his heart to his cheek and kissed him on the lips, a few more stray tears fell down her cheeks that Sasuke kissed away. Makaira couldn't help but wonder what if Sakura-chan accidentally saw them right now, the poor girl would have a heart attack, that's for sure. Makaira held onto Sasuke wanting nothing more than that at that moment, Sasuke kissed her cheek before they stepped away.

"You were going somewhere?" Sasuke asked as he remembered that she was going somewhere before....that.

"Yes, I thought I would go and help Tsunami-san with her work." She smiled, wanting to help out whatever way she can as they were allowing them to stay at their place even though she understands it is more for their own protection. But that doesn't make it any less nice of them and Makaira didn't want to just sit and do nothing. Since Kakashi will be resting for some time now, she might as well be useful here since she can't revel her skills in battle. Sasuke nodded his head in understanding before they heard a crashing sound from whichever part of the house Naruto was in because it couldn't be anyone but him.

Sasuke sighed, running his fingers through his hair before walking towards the direction of the sound to check on Naruto, Makaira almost giggled at their friendship, they pretend to hate each other yet they were able to plan and execute that plan without any words exchanged. Now, that's teamwork on another level. Shaking her head, Makaira also decided to head towards the kitchen since she felt Tsunami-san presence there.

"How can I help, Tsunami-San" Makaira asked from the door of the kitchen, not wanting to invade her space.

"Oh no no! Makaira-chan, You have and still are protecting my father.  This is the least I can do" Tsunami insisted.

"Well, I insist, Please. I'm used to staying busy all day so I feel weird" Makaira chuckled awkwardly as she scratched herself behind her ear, something that she does when she feels awkward or uncomfortable. Tsunami couldn't help but laugh at the girl who turned red in embarrassment, "Okay, then. Do you know how to cook?" She said making space for the girl.

"Hai, Tsunami-san. I do" She said entering the kitchen, tying her hair back into the bun using her Kanzashi as she looked at what Tsunami was making before helping her with the preparations of the meal. Tsunami looked over to the girl making sure she knows what she is doing but one look at her and it was clear she was not a stranger to the skills required in the kitchen. Tsunami decided to clean the house as Makaira seemed to be comfortable with doing the cooking. With one look at the ninja, she left to clean up the house leaving Makaira to hum to herself as she continued to make the meals.
