Foul Love (Sasuke x OC)

6

Naruto shakes me violently to wake up. "Madi! You're going to be late!"

Quickly I scramble out of bed and into my ninja gear. I grab my sai from under the bed and put my weapons pouch on my leg. I rush to brush my teeth and comb out my hair. Deciding to do something different, I take my leaf headband and tie it around my neck leaving my lower abdomen exposed and my shirt appears to be more cropped than before.

Naruto and I hurry to get to the bridge where we always wait and once we get there I tease him about how he's too slow. His head hangs low and he mutters incomprehensible things to himself. Sakura and Sasuke are already at the bridge when we arrive, so Naruto goes up to say to them. My mind thinks back to last night and I don't even want to look at Sakura and Sasuke, for different reasons. I'm ashamed that Sasuke saw me when I was so weak, and I really just hate Sakura.

Kakashi Sensei arrived and we all listened to his directions. We practiced summoning and concealing our chakra. Sakura and I were rather good at it, but Naruto had a hard time concealing his chakra completely. I don't know how Sasuke was doing, as I tried to avoid even looking at him. When Kakashi Sensei complimented me on my chakra control, I just ignored it. Both of them were a pain in my ass. Training went pretty smoothly for the next two days, and it was finally time for me to stop training with team seven.

When the final day of training together was over, a sense of relief washed over me. I didn't have to worry about Kakashi Sensei and Sasuke anymore. They weren't a part of my team and I wasn't a part of theirs. Plus, avoiding them will be a lot easier now. It's a shame I don't get to train with Naruto now though, I'm going to miss spending so much time with him. This fact dawned upon me as I went to gather the kunai I threw throughout the day. When I start training on my own, Naruto and I will spend the least amount of time together than we ever have.

I sigh while collecting my kunai and putting them into my weapons pouch. Footsteps approach me and I wished they were Naruto's but I knew they weren't. They were too quiet and cautious. Must be Sasuke's. My body turns and I face him. He looks at me with his hands in his pockets and a stern look on his face.

"Hey," is all he says to me. I don't care much for small talk so I start to walk past him and towards Naruto, who is trying to make conversation with Sakura. As I try to leave Sasuke grabs my arm and stops me from walking away. Physically, I'm not as strong as Sasuke so I knew it would be useless trying to escape his grasp. I groan and turn to face him, and only then did he let go of my arm.

"What?" I ask him, ready for this conversation to be over already.

He looks at me intently, "Can we talk?"

"No."

"Don't be difficult."

"Okay." I walk away from him. He heaves a sigh of defeat and just looks down, placing his hands back in his pockets. Sakura had just punched Naruto and waterfall tears fall down his face. Naruto went to catch up to me, but I told him to just head home and that I was going into town to walk for a bit. Naruto then complained about being tired and headed in the direction of our house.

As I walk through town I find myself headed towards the woods. Why was I going this way? I haven't been to this place in five years. After about twenty minutes I find myself at a small waterfall.

It looks so different from what I remember. Everything has been grown out and there are so many lily pads floating at the top of the light water and vines hanging. There seems to be more trees, but I think the old trees have just grown more. The rocks I used to sit on are now all covered in moss. The place looks so beautiful, why did we stop coming here? I sit down on a patch of grass next to the tiny pond and lean my back against a rock.
