Frozen Eyes of Mine [Sasuke]

Chapter Fourteen

That baka, he is pretty dramatic isn't he? I looked back at Naruto who was caressing is sore hand. Serves the idiot right for jabbing himself with a kunai when the poison could've been sucked out. I shook my head, at least he was alright now and no one was hurt from the ninja attack. What made me proud though was when he made his oath.He said the  he will never run away or back down from any mission, threat, or enemy and that he will not lose to Sasuke. He was adorable and I believed in him. He may not be a great ninja yet, but I think someone he is going to be someone that people look up to.

Anyways, I looked towards Tazuna, he has some major explaining to do. Actually Kakashi already talked to him. It seemed like I was in la-la land. He quickly told me that Tazuna couldn't pay for a higher ranked mission and kept it a secret. And apparently there are these assassins trying to kill him so he can't complete the bridge. I immediately told Kakashi that I was doing the mission know matter what. I mean come on, he is an old friend after all.

"I understand Kamini. We've come this far anyways so we might as well see it through." Kakashi said.

"Thank you so much." Tazuna said.

"Don't sweat it." I walked up to him and whacked him on the head. "But you could have at least told me the truth you know? We ninja are here to help!" I said.

"Ah!" Tazuna yelped. "Sorry Kamini."

"Humph." I said but winked at him and smirked.

"Well let's keep going. We still have a log walk ahead of us." Kakashi said leading the way.

It felt like several hours went by until we reached the boats that would take us across the water t o reach Tazuna's village. During that time Tazuna regaled us with a story about a man named Gato who is the person that is trying to kill Tazuna.

"Don't worry Tazuna we will protect you no matter what." I said.

"Thanks Kamini I know you will do a good job. It's the rest of your teammates that concern me."

"Hey what's that supp-" I cut of Naruto by slapping my hand over his mouth.

"What he is trying to say is that they really aren't that bad Tazuna. Sasuke was top in the class. Sakura is the brightest kunoichi and Naruto is a hyper-active knucklehead that never ceases to surprise anyone."

"Gosh Kamini I never knew you felt that way about us." Naruto said I bit flattered. Sakura even seemed to blush at the compliment. 

"Come on your my team and without you we wouldn't be able to do these missions."

"She's right. Even though you guys slow me down at times." Sasuke commented.

"Hey. Only optimistic people are allowed on the boat. If you don't start acting like it, it's off to walking the plank. ARRG!" I said and held out a hooked finger. Naruto and Sakura giggled while Sasuke shot a glare in my direction, obviously annoyed with me goofy demeanour. I only fluttered my lashes at him and shrugged my shoulders innocently. 'Maybe he's a hopeless cause after all.'
