Frozen Eyes of Mine [Sasuke]

Chapter Twenty One

I've always sitting out in the cool night-time air. It has this cleansing affect, I think. I actually do my best thinking at this time. I walked on the porch and sat on the swinging bench. This trip has been quite eventful and it's not over yet. 'Zabuza', I thought. He's out there somewhere and we are going to have to fight him again. When that happens I will be more ready and use my strongest jutsu's and protect everyone. I don't want to see anyone die because of my weakness. After thinking awhile, I decided that I needed to learn how to control my ice sculpture technique so that I could use it in battle and not have to worry about accidentally getting anyone else caught up in it. If I master that, then I can really protect my team. I don't want to hold then back either. And by doing this I may be able to move on from my past. I heard some rustling behind me and Naruto appeared.

"Hey Kamini." He said but making no eye-contact, looking to the ground. This isn't the normal Naruto attitude that I'm used to.

"Hey Naruto, what's up?." I turned to face him

"Well there's something I want to tell you." He looked up, a look of determination on his face.

~Sasuke's POV~

I was heading out to take a late night stroll to think and what do I see? Naruto and Kamini. I hid quickly behind a large shrub and then I thought why was I even hiding, and then I saw something that I won't be able to un-see. Naruto, placing a kiss on Kamini. On. Her. Lips.

"Kamini, I really, really like you." I saw her eyes widen and she looked away from him, her cheeks tinted pink. "You don't have to say anything now. I'll wait." Naruto said, and rushed off with an obvious blush on his face.

'What was that?' I thought. I looked at Kamini and saw that she was touching her lips and she too was blushing. Why didn't she shove him away? She said that she didn't feel that way for him, right? I was pissed. I was also pissed at not knowing why I was pissed. I have nothing to do with Kamini or Naruto. But seeing what happened has made me so mad.

"What to do, what to do." I heard Kamini whisper.

I continued to listen to her mumbling.

~Kamini's POV~

THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN! Where the hell did that come from? Naruto came up to me and says 'hi' and then next thing I know he's planting a wet one on me. "What to do, what to do."

"I don't think I even like Naruto, he has been the closest friend that I have ever had but I never thought about him that way." And then I did think about it. I remembered all the hugs and the laughs that we shared. They were always happy moments together. "He is really nice, makes me laugh and happy, what more could a girl want." I smiled lightly. "That was also my first kiss." And then it hit me. Passion. That's what was missing. In the kiss we shared I didn't feel that spark. "I have to tell him." I decided that I would tell him how I feel. I got up in search for him.

~Sasuke's POV~

I was listening to Kamini's words and by each sentence I felt more and more upset. "I don't think I even like Naruto, he has been the closest friend that I have ever had but I never thought about him that way." Ha. But then I looked at her and she seemed to be picturing something and was smiling. "He is really nice, makes me laugh and happy, what more could a girl want." Wait, what? This can't be? She's falling for that dimwit? Now she looked really determined. "That was also my first kiss." Damn that Naruto. "I have to tell him." I watched her resolutely get up and left in the direction that Naruto went.

I got out from my hiding place and walked to where Kamini just was. 'I can't believe it. Kamini really does like Naruto. And since he likes her then they will date and I'll never have the chance-, wait. What was I thinking? I was almost saying that I would never have the chance to tell her how I feel. But I don't have any feeling for her, do I? I scrunched my eyes closed, not understanding anything anymore.

Finally, you're coming to realize the feelings you have for her.

'What was that?'

Duh, it's me, your subconscious. I've been locked up inside your head because you barely feel any emotion. But ever since you've met Kamini, I managed to break loose a bit and now I have finally resurfaced.

'So you're the thought in my head that knows my true feelings?

Come on Sasuke, you're smarter than this. Yes I am. I know how you feel about everything. Just because I've been locked up doesn't mean I don't know what has happened everyday of your life.

'Okay, so then explain what my feelings are for Kamini, because I can't think straight and I'm trying to grasp the idea of having a voice speaking to me inside my head.'

Sasuke you love her. And deep down where I am it has been festering and growing since the first say you laid eyes on her.

'You're saying that I love her?'

Did you hear what I just said? YES! YOU LOVE KAMINI! And right now you're extremely jealous of Naruto for kissing her.

'Damn, I almost forgot.' I really thought about how I felt towards Kamini and then I added love into the mixture. I have to admit, I do have feelings for her. But I shouldn't, I have a task at hand and nothing can detour me from it.

Kamini understands how you feel about your family and Itachi, she would understand if you told her that you needed to exact revenge no matter what.

'I don't know. For all I know she might want to tag along with me and that would put her into harm's way.'

But she is very capable, you have had first had experience with her.

'Yeah, I know but I won't be able to protect her and I can't guarantee that I will even survive after I kill Itachi. I have his allies to deal with too.'

Well, are you going to stand back as Naruto takes the first and possibly last girl you will ever love?

The voice inside my head is right.

'But she's going off to tell Naruto that she likes him too. I can't get in the way if they have a mutual thing already.'

How chivalrous Sasuke. Are you going to be able to be on the same team and watch them day after day and see their love growing?

'Fine I will go talk to her.'

Great, goodbye for now.

'Good riddance.'

I heard that.

'Hn'.

I ran to find Kamini. After searching for a few minutes I saw Naruto. He was standing by the water's edge throwing pebbles into the water. That doesn't look like a guy that just got a girlfriend. At least I don't think. I went up to him and he heard me and turned around.

"Oh it's you Sasuke. What do you want?" Naruto asked looking back at the water and watching the ripples from the pebbles.

"You don't look so happy." I said. What was I doing? This is so out of character.

"Life, I guess. But you're also unusually talkative, what gives?" He questioned.

"Nothing. You just don't look yourself." I said quickly.

"Well, I just confessed to Kamini and she gave me an answer." So Kamini was here already.

"And?" I asked.

"And nothing. She said she only and will only see me as a friend. End of story." He quickly said while furrowing in eyebrows. He seemed really hurt by her rejection.

"Alright. Well you know she would want you back to your cheerful self, right?" Gross, I was consoling him. But Naruto looked at me and smiled.

"Funny you say that. Kamini said something just like that before she left. Thanks Sasuke." He said showing in toothy grin.

"Yeah well don't get used to it." I said kind of embarrassed.

"I won't!" Naruto yelled as I was walking away.

Hn was all that I replied with.
