Chapter 49

Usagi 49

>>>>CHAPTER 49<<<<

>>>>A Promise That Can Only Be Kept<<<<

Kankuro let out a deep sigh as he watched Team Kakashi and Team Guy walk away into the deserts that surrounded Suna.

"Don't be so upset." Temari said, a little sick of her brothers pouting. "There's plenty of girls out there."

Another sigh escaped his lips as he watched Usagi walk away, her long red hair swishing behind her with each step she took.

The only problem with watching her walk away was the fact that he was watching her walk alongside Neji.

Neji. Usagi's boyfriend.

Yesterday, Usagi had very bluntly told Kankuro that she was not single, and that she was not interested. She had noticed he had a crush on her, and she needed to let him know, to let him know his crush was merely that: a crush. There was no chance of them being together, and as cruel as her way of telling him was, it was also the best thing she could have done.

"I know." Kankuro said. "... It just sucks is all."

Gaara spoke up. "I don't understand. You're already friends with Usagi." He said.

Temari and Kankuro exchanged a glance.

"... Oh Gaara..." Such innocence... "You'll understand one day."

---- ---- ---- ----

"You two are walking way too slowly!" Tenten called out as she looked behind her. They had been walking for quite some time, a few days now, and their pace was only getting slower and slower with each passing hour.

Kakashi was barely able to walk, and Guy was given the pleasant task of holding Kakashi's weight.

"... Sorry, Guy." It was at time like this when Kakashi hated his sharingan. "Because I used my sharingan, I can't move..."

"RIGHT!!" Guy yelled out, tossing Kakashi up into the air.

Before he, or anyone had any time to comprehend just what the hell was going on, Guy caught Kakashi on his back, hooking his arms under Kakashi's thighs.

All the students watched on in disgust... well, except for Lee.

'... Two grown men playing piggyback... that's kinda... intimate.'

'That's kinda creepy...'

'No way...'

'...'

'Oh Kami... Dad that's so embarrassing...'

'

'Ah!! A new training exercise!!'

"It'll be much faster this way!!" Guy called out as he started running. "You think any of you can keep up with me?!" He sped off into the distance leaving a trail of sparkles and youth behind him.

... Poor Kakashi.

Sakura continued her thought from earlier. '... They look even more intimate when they move...'

There are some things you don't need to see in life. A thirty year old man giving another thirty year old man a piggyback is one of those things.

To make matters worse, Lee squatted down, holding his arms out behind him.

"Neji!" He said.

Neji, knowing exactly what Lee was insinuating, was not happy to comply. "Absolutely not!!" Was the annoyed reply he got.
