"Yo!" I glanced from my spot to where Kakashi appeared.
"You're late!" Sakura and Naruto yelled.
Jumping down from the tree, I slowly started making my way to them. "Well a black cat..."
"Save it...lets train so I can go home." I interrupted darkly. Naruto flinched at my voice, Sakura looked scared, and Sasuke didn't do anything he just stared at me.
Kakashi stared at me his goofy expression dropping from his clothed face. I normally didn't act like this.
"Um..okay let's start... We'll just be sparing for today."
"Naruto vs Sasuke and Nariko vs Sakura"
Sakura looked at Kakashi in fear. Naruto looked at me in worry. Sasuke sighed, "Kakashi..." He looked at Sasuke. "I'll fight her..." Kakashi nodded his head, to say he was shocked was an understatement. Naruto was glaring at Sasuke.
"Let's go dobe.." He muttered walking to the other end of the field.
Ignoring everyone's gawking, I followed him as I took off my orange shirt, throwing it to the side. Unsheathing my katana, without waiting I rushed at him, his back to me.
As I swung at him, he seemed to disappear out of sight, I felt a hand grip my ankle pulling me to the ground, causing me to drop my katana. I turned onto my back and grabbed his foot just as he was about to kick me.
Twisting his foot, I applied chakra to my hands and pushed him away from me. He flipped and landed on his feet like a cat. Gripping the katana in my right hand I jumped onto my feet and dashed to him. He quickly pulled out a kunai blocking my katana, his onyx eyes mirrored my blue ones.
"What is wrong with you?" He muttered quietly.
"You need to mind your own busi...." The wind was knocked out of me as he kneed me in my stomach.
He appeared behind me and kicked the back of my knees so I fell to the ground. "Get up, dobe." He took my katana and threw it to the side.
He walked back in front of me, my eyes narrowed at him. I flashed in front of him catching him off guard and tackled him to the ground. He blocked most of my punches but I still got him on the right side of his face.
He finally got a grip onto my wrists and flipped me so he was on top of me, pinning my wrists to the ground.
My chest was rising up and down quickly, as I tried to catch my breath, I struggled trying to get him off of me.
"Calm down." He ordered.
I scoffed. "You're one to talk."
"At least when I'm angry I don't get worse when I fight." He retorted. "Breathe."
I took in a few deep breaths. I felt his hands release mine and prod my hands and arms in certain areas. I closed my eyes, feeling relaxed.
"Better?"
I nodded my head. "Yeah..surprisingly..." He got off of me and put out his hand out for me to grab.
"Um...thanks.." I took his hand and he helped me to my feet.
He releases his grip from mine. "Don't make me do it again." He smirked.
I glared at him and pushed him lightly. "Whatever." I muttered walking away from him.
Naruto and Sakura were still sparing, I could tell he was going easy on her because he liked her.
"It seems you are calm now." Kakashi's voice came from behind me.
"I'm sorry..." I muttered as I turned to face him. "I shouldn't of let my anger get the best of me."
He nodded slightly. "What caused you to get so angry?" My eyes turned to Naruto and Sakura.
"I don't know..." I lied, and faced Kakashi. "I'm going home, again I'm sorry for my behavior."

Aimlessly walking around, I continued to look at the starlit sky. I went to rest my left hand on the hilt of my katana, when I only felt air, my eyes widened.
"Damn..." I muttered. 'I left it at the training ground...'
Turning around I dashed back to the training grounds. Once I reach there I notice no one is there.
I walked over to where Sasuke and I fought at. "Where did he throw it?..."
"Damn it Sasuke...." I whispered.
Feeling weight apply to my right shoulder made me tense up. "Lose something?"
I turned my head to see him standing behind me holding the katana that was resting on my shoulder. "Damn it Uchiha...don't do that!" I growled and pushed the katana away as I faced him.
He put the katana back in its sheathe for me, leaving his hand on the hilt. I gave him a weird look.
"Thanks?"
'Something feels off...' I thought nervously, my eyes shifting around the training ground.
He used his other hand to force me to look at him, like he was examining me. Nervously I started backing up.
"Why are you acting weird?" I said shakily, as I continued to back away.
He followed my every move until my back hit the tree, "I wonder...why is he so interested in you..." He muttered to himself.
'This isn't Sasuke...' I thought. 'Move...fight...do something....'
"Who?" I questioned, acting along.
His onyx eyes faded, replacing it with the sharingan. My blue eyes widened.
