Foul Love (Sasuke x OC)

31

"Again!" Levi yells down to me.

I've been training in the hidden mist with the Ackerman clan for two and a half months now, trying to advance my water style jutsus. As I push myself up from the water, I wince. Levi's been trying to teach me an all around defense using a series of waves, but I just can't seem to get it.

Before I get a chance to stable myself, Levi's sister Mikasa comes running at me. I dodge and try to kick her in the back, but I get hit in the side by Levi. Two against one really isn't all that fair, especially when it's two from the legendary Ackerman clan. I stumble and slide across the top of the water when I see Mikasa jumping towards me. My body rolls out of the way of her attack and I push myself up.

"Lightning Style, shockwave," I whisper and send a wave of electricity towards Mikasa. She's hit and knocked out, but it wasn't a lethal amount. Levi throws kunai at me and I have to jump to dodge them. He's rushing towards me and attacks me with a series of weapons formed out of water. Desperately, I do the hand signs for the defense he taught me, "Water style, wall of waves!" I yell and it actually works. All of Levi's attacks get deflected and he gets caught in the tidal waves. When I look around to find him, I see him washed up on shore. What worries me is Mikasa is nowhere to be found. Searching the area, I don't see any signs of Mikasa, but when I realize where she is it's too late. She grabs my ankles and I'm pulled under the water.

I struggle out of her grasps, and start to make clones of myself. Three more of myself appear and attack her. Mikasa fights all of my clones off, but not without struggle. I know she can hold her breath longer than I can, so I try to end the fight quickly. As I plunge my sai into her side, she vanishes. It's just a water clone. Quickly I swim to the surface and gasp for air. I pull myself back on top of the water, and try to catch my breath.

Mikasa is running towards me, and I use a substitution when her kunai meets with my stomach. She turns around after realizing what I had done, but it's too late. My foot plunges into her side and she goes flying into a tree on the shore. Her body falls down, and she lands on her hands and knees.

We're both tuckered out and I sling Levi over my shoulder. He is not going to be happy when he wakes up from this. Thankfully, my mask is made of a mesh fabric so it's not entirely impossible to breathe in it while wet. That would have made this entire experience rather difficult.

"You've grown strong," Mikasa says as she walks next to me.

"Thanks to you and him," I say and motion my head towards an unconscious Levi.

She lets out a small laugh at the sight of her weakened brother. We arrive at their home and I lay Levi out on the ground. He's soaked so I don't dare put him on any furniture. I head up to the room I'm staying in, and change into a pair of black sweatpants and a cropped red tank top. The color matches my hair and pairs well with my black pants.

Mikasa gives me a hair dryer and I give her a closed eye smile. Once I dry my hair, (and my mask), I head downstairs to eat. Levi has woken up, and gives me a slight smile.

"Did you just... smile?" Mikasa asks with a shocked expression. Levi chuckles a little and my eyes widen.

"Sit Madi, it's time for dinner," Levi says and I sit at the table next to him. Both the siblings start to talk and while they're distracted I pull down my mask and scarf down my food.

After we all finish eating I announce something to them, "I will be leaving for the hidden grass tomorrow."

"That's too bad, it was a pleasure training you Madi," Mikasa says. Levi nods to her comment in agreement. "I'll help you pack," she says and we both head upstairs.
