Frozen Eyes of Mine [Sasuke]

Chapter Thirteen

~Sasuke's POV~

It was confusing. Normally, I can tell whats going on around me, but this, I don't get. This man named Tazuna, whom we are to take back to the Land of Waves, has been staring Kamini straight in the eyes the moment he saw her. And whats more curious is that she was staring straight back. I wanted to scratch my head, but thought against it. I'll just wait to see what happens.

"Ha you're still a loser, child! You have yet to beat me in our staring competition." He laughed out loud. His loud, bellowing voice caught me of guard for a mere second. Why did he decide to speak now when he has had so much time to do so?

"Pffft. Don't get your hopes up old man." She scoffed and then giggled and ran up to him.

Kamini leaped and went right into his arms. They were hugging, no big deal right? Something inside me just didn't like it. Maybe I just don't trust this guy. But thats only natural not to trust someone that you just met. And it still looks rather awkward.

They let go of each other and started spouting nonsense that the rest of us didn't understand.

"Eh-hem."

Everyone turned to see who made the noise. It was the Hokage with a bored expression on his face.

"If you two are finished with your little reunion, I would like to wish you good luck and goodbye!" He said.

Everyone in the room shrunk to the floor and left the room. Kakashi told us to meet back with him at the gates in 10 minutes. I swiftly rushed back to empty abode. I grabbed all my necessary equipment such as my kunai and shuriken. I snagged some extra clothes, some rice-balls, shoved them in a back-pack and walked out the door.

I was still curious about the connection between Kamini and Tazuna.

~Kamini's POV~

"AHHH I'm so happy Naruto!" I yelled to the sun. Naruto and I were heading back to our apartments together. Going with Naruto means what I was less likely to get lost.

"Oh ya? I didn't notice." Naruto said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Oh ha-ha Naruto. No matter how pessimistic, or lamely sarcastic you get, nothing can get me down right now. Well other than Sasuke going on one of his depression field trips again. Ha!"

We were slowly but surely making our way to the apartments. When we got there we sped into our rooms and rapidly gathered all of the things that we might need during the mission. I grabbed extra chocolate. You can never have too much. Just as I locked my door Naruto came out.

"Good timing" I said.

"YUP! Im so excitied. You know I've never actually left the village before. Kamini, you've been everywhere right?" Naruto said, happiness evidently seeping from every pore.

"Really? Well I guess you and I are going to have to go on a little adventure sometime together! What do you say?"

"That would be awesome!" Naruto exclaimed.

After that we kept on talking about what we might do and what we might see on our current adventure. We weren't really thinking about it as a mission at this point in time. It was really nice to see Naruto so excited about going everywhere. For me, some places bring not so good memories. But I'd be willing to endure them if it was for Naruto.

Shortly after, we arrived at the main gates. Everyone was already there and waiting for us. Kakashi had his little perv book out and was quietly reading away. Tazuna was whistling to him self. Sasuke was standing in spot with a blank face. As for Sakura, well she was trying every method possible to get Sasuke's attention. And might I add, failing miserably. I made a giggled to myself and that caught the attention of Sasuke, but he quickly looked away afterwards. 'What's his problem?' I thought. I dismissed that thought and said, "Well are we going to hit the road or what?"

"Well now that everyone is here Kamini, yes we can." Kakashi said. I shrugged my shoulders. It wasn't like we were late getting here, he didn't have to use that voice on me. Baka-sensei.

"I'm so pumped!" Naruto yelled.

"Oh calm down Naruto, it's not that big of a deal." Sakura said. I looked at her. And what a hypocrite! She looked just as excited as Naruto was, well, she was better at hiding it. But you could tell by the way her eyes were shifting around quickly that she was. 

"Hey! Naruto hasn't been past the village gates before so let him have some fun. Sheeesh." I told her. Sakura simply 'humphed' and minded her own business. 

The knew walk was going to take a while but I've been travelling since I was little so it doesn't really faze me anymore. I'm also really good at zoning out and letting time pass me by, but now that I think about it, that may not be a good trait for a ninja to have. Naruto on the other hand, he is looking at every little thing before him. It's like he hasn't seen a forest of trees before. But it is still cute nonetheless. Everyone else is just walking. They seem pretty bored, but I feel the same.

As I was walking I saw a puddle. That was puzzling; it hadn't rained in the past week had it? But then why would there be a puddle? Unless-, just as I had thought of the answer Kakashi yelled for everyone to duck. That's what everyone did. But when we all looked up Kakashi was torn to shreds. Sakura screamed. I sighed. He is quite the closet dramatic one isn't he?

The next thing I did was run after the ninja that were attacking. I saw one on my right and ran in quick circles around him. I knew he couldn't see me. When I found the right opening I stopped and kicked him right under the chin sending him up in the air. I jumped up after him and then I landed a kick into his stomach sending him back down to the hard ground. One down seems like there's one to go. Once I located the other ninja I saw that Sasuke was in the middle of fighting him. He was doing an amazing job. Then Kakashi appeared and finished off the ninja and tied the two together.

"Is everyone alright?" Kakashi asked rather nonchalantly. 

"Sensei." Sakura said as she pointed to Naruto.

I looked over and saw Naruto and he seemed to be poisoned. Ch, the other ninja must have gotten him while I was busy with mine. Kakashi told him he was poisoned and the next thing that happened shocked me. Naruto grabbed a kunai and he stabbed himself in the infected area. He began bleeding a lot. Kakashi then decided to tell him if he continues to bleed he may die. That idiot. Naruto scrambled around until I bonked him on the head. I sat him on a stump and wrapped him hand to stop the bleeding. I looked back at Tazuna and he seemed to be nervous about something. It was time for some answers.
