Itsumiko barely got any sleep last night. She kept waking up to Sakura giggling in her sleep and talking about Sasuke. She heard Sakura get up and she felt her walking over to her.

"I swear to god if you tell me it's time to get up I'm going to tie you to the roof," Itsumiko said. She heard Sakura gulp and walk away. She begrudgingly got up and started to get dressed. She put her shorts on and she was in the process of putting her shirt on when Sasuke walked in. She hurriedly pulled her tight shirt down but it got caught up on the chainmail in the back.

"Don't you know how to knock?" She asked. She tried to pull her shirt down but it just wasn't happening. Sasuke chuckled and walked over.

"Here, let me help you," He said. He walked behind her and got her shirt to release from the chain. She felt his fingers slowly drag down her spine. Goosebumps crossed her skin and she felt her breath hitch in her throat.

"Does Neji make you feel like this?" He whispered in a low voice. She felt his fingers around her waist.

"I-I um, I d-don't know," She stuttered out.

"I heard you tell Sakura last night that you're not into me. But from where I'm standing, that's a complete lie," He whispered in her ear. She felt herself gulp. Her heart picked up speed and she knew Sasuke could feel it. She felt his hands let go of her and the coldness washed over her.

"We will just have to see who wins," He said and walked out of the room. She watched him walk out of the room and her thoughts were all over the place. She couldn't be into him. It wasn't possible. But when he did this, her mind just stopped working. She was into Neji and she knew that for a fact. But Sasuke? How could she also be into Sasuke? She gathered her thoughts and grabbed her headband, tied it around her neck and walked out of her room and into Kakashi's. She saw everyone was there and Kakashi was awake. She noticed Sasuke was there and he was staring at her. She walked around and sat across from him, far enough away that he couldn't do anything.

"Now that we are all here, Zabuza is still alive," Kakashi said.

"What how?" Sakura asked him.

"I'm not surprised," Itsumiko said. Naruto looked at her.

"Wait, how do you know he isn't dead and how are you not surprised?" Naruto asked. Itsumiko shook her head.

"Because that tracker ninja threw senbon needles. All it does is stop the heartbeat for a few minutes. Also, if he was a true tracker, why didn't he work on the body right then and there? Why risk someone taking Zabuza?" She said, Kakashi nodded.

"That's exactly right. Real tracker ninja's work on the dead body right then and there. The body holds secrets of not only the village but also jutsu. If the body falls into the wrong hands, someone can use that knowledge against them," Kakashi said.

"Right now we don't need to worry about him. So, we are going to train," Kakashi said. Naruto jumped up.

"Wait, we aren't going to go after him?" Naruto asked.

"And Sensei, you aren't capable of training right now," Sakura said.

"Jesus, his leg is hurt, it's not like he got stabbed or something," Itsumiko said.

"It's not like Chidori helped either," Kakashi said. Itsumiko glared at him.

"Sorry I got carried away, I forgot you were in the dome," She said. Kakashi chuckled and waved her off.

"You guys should go home," A kid said from the doorway.

"Inari, they are trying to help," Tazuna said. Inari ran in and gave Tazuna a hug.
