XII.

I was woken to a light hand on my shoulder. Sitting up slowly and rubbing my eyes I see Sasuke.

"Morning." I mumble, fumbling out of bed.

"You look rough" he says bluntly. I let out a soft chuckle.

"Why thank you, now shoo so I can get ready" As soon as he exits the room I throw on my clothes and tidy myself up in the bathroom. Once I was finished both Sasuke and I made our way to the training grounds.

Naruto and Sakura were already standing there waiting for us both.

"Good morning (Y/N) Sensei and Sasuke," They both had spoken at the same time in unison. I nod to them and take a seat on a little log next to them not saying a word while Sasuke gives them a little wave.

Moments later Kakashi appears. I don't pay him any attention however.

"Kakashi Sensei you are late again" Sakura huffs and crosses her arms.

"Sorry I'm late, you wouldn't believe the traffic." As he spoke he received a few groans of annoyance from the rest of Team 7.

"Anyways," he starts, "(Y/N) please take the day off you will not need to be here for training today, but you need to be here tomorrow morning for sparring."

With that Naruto and Sakura quickly head to the training grounds after giving me a quick farewell. I feel Sasuke's gaze burning through me. Looking down at him, I motion for him to go to the training grounds and that I would see him later tonight.

Quickly, I turn on my heels and walk home.

Sitting up from my bed after a small nap I look through the window to see the sun beginning to set. Slinging myself over, slipping out of bed I go to the restroom to brush my hair and teeth.

I didn't want to go out, but I felt as if going out for a drink would be nice. Making my way out the house, I quickly head towards the Shushu-ya (Sake Sake Store).

As I made my way inside a waitress takes me to a little booth and settles me down with a list of all the drinks and services they offer.

I sit there for a while contemplating what to get. Millions of thoughts fogging my brain all at once.

Kakashi , being missing for over a decade , what drink to get , itachi , sasuke , my clan.

It is all so much to bear at times.

Just as my thought begin spiraling a man with brown hair pulled into a ponytail and a scar across the bridge of his nose takes a seat on the vacant side of my booth.

I look up at him. He was a reasonably handsome man, a grin stretches across his face.

"Hello" he speaks, his voice kind and gentle, "What is a pretty lady like you doing here all alone?"

"Ah, just needed to clear my head, maybe get a drink or two." He seemed nice for the most part. But I really don't like talking to people that much.

"Well, why don't you come have some fun with me and my friends?" I ponder at the thought.

Maybe talking to people could be a distraction, I needed that right now.

Giving him a nod in response he drags me over to a bigger booth where two other ninjas were. One was a very beautiful woman, she was pale, had dark shoulder length hair, and crimson red eyes. The other, a man, quite handsome, with brown eyes, a beard, and black spiked hair.

The man lights a cigar and places it between his lips as he chuckles from a snarky response the woman had just made. They were clearly seeing each other.

They both look up from each other and see me standing there awkwardly with the other guy by my side.

"You leave for 3 minutes and come back with a catch huh Iruka? I didn't think you had it in ya!" The man with the cigar is his mouth speaks.

"Oh, I-" I begin to speak but the woman starts talking after nudging his shoulder.

"Now that isn't very nice Asuma, anyways who might you be? I am Kurenai," Her voice is very pretty. I couldn't help but stare at her eyes. They were mesmerizing.

"(Y/N)" I speak, the three of them stop and stare me dead in the eye.

"(Y/N) Uchiha?" all of them somehow say in perfect unison.

Rubbing the back of my neck I nod. It somewhat makes me uncomfortable whenever people react like this, but it cannot be helped.

——— TimeSkip ———

After 5 rounds of drinking I was almost completely gone. My words slurred, vision blurred.

I spilt my whole sob story to the group and they had suggested we drank on me still being alive and surviving all those years.

It was around time for me to go home, I stumble out of the booth, the three of them laughing at my clumsiness. They were all almost completely gone themselves. Shakily walking out the bar, I start heading home. It was hard to walk straight. The world was spinning.

I can barely move my feet until I feel two sets of hands gripping my shoulders, holding me up.

Looking over, I see Sasuke holding me up along with..

Kakashi.

Letting out a yelp of surprise I free myself from their grasp and stumble to the ground. Sasuke was the first to take action and quickly help lift me up again, letting me lean against him.

"How much did you have to drink?" He asks, looking me up and down. He was definitely annoyed, but concern was laced between his words.

"Lotss." I say resting my head on his shoulder. Looking over at Kakashi, he was just standing there observing. He wouldn't stop staring at me. Maybe this is another thing to add to the list of why he suddenly doesn't like me. Even so, I look at his singular visible eye, he seemed concerned, but also as if he didn't care at all.

"Take her home and get her in bed to rest, we have sparring lessons tomorrow." He finally speaks.

"And if she has a hangover in the morning should I leave her home?" Sasuke asks, genuinely out of curiosity.

"No, bring her anyways." With that, Kakashi warps away and everything fades to black.
