Love is a Weakness-A Naruto Fan Fiction

Chapter Sixteen: Rumors

After quickly getting dressed, I trudged into the kitchen. Sasuke didn’t even glance at me as he set a plate in front of me.  It was eggs and bacon. I poked at it, scared he had poisoned it.

“You cook?” I asked suspiciously.  What if Sakura came over, bearing food? In hopes to kill me, gave this to Sasuke so she could have him for herself. Or, this could be Sasuke’s payback for almost punching him through the wall. Sasuke just sighed, leaving the room.

I sunk in my chair. He was so moody today. Could guys get periods? Was Sasuke on his man-period? I pushed my plate away, not taking any chances. Why was Sasuke suddenly so pissed at me?

Minutes passes by before Sasuke came back into the room. He was holding what looked like a letter. “Looks like we have the day off. Kakashi went on a mission.”

I nodded. “Sasuke?” I asked quietly. I wasn’t sure if he was just going to ignore me, again. Or perhaps this time take a swing at me? I seriously hoped not. I eyed him warily. Looking for any sudden movement, to give away what he was going to do next. Anticipating whether I should dodge him, or run after him.

He took a deep breath through his nose, as if trying to get a hold of himself. “What?” He said it neither nice nor mean. Just stared at me with a hard look. Something in his expression made me feel as if he wasn’t just looking at me, but through me. I shuddered at the thought. Sasuke came close to me, so he was inches from my face.

“Why are you being like this?” I was scared to talk above a whisper.  As though I was scared someone would hear me, or worse; he’d go back to ignoring me.

He seemed to feel the same. “Why’d you kiss me?” His cheeks held a tint of pink, but he refused to drop his gaze. His face held determinacy.

“I-I…I’m sorry-I……” Someone knocked on the door, interrupting my pathetic stuttering. I could’ve kissed this unknown person. Even if I had been able to explain, I wouldn’t know how to. What was I suppose to say? ‘Well, I didn’t kiss you because I actually like you. It was just to piss Sakura and Naruto off.’ Like hell I would. That would just give him another reason to hate me.

He went to the door while I went to my room.  How was I going to explain to him why I kissed him? And I thought earlier had been awkward.

“Hitomi! It’s for you!” I felt a sudden wave of panic hit me in the gut. Was it Naruto? As I prayed, I closed my door and locked it. I then sat in the corner of my room.

Loud pounding was heard from the other side of the door. “Open up! Someone’s here for you!” Sasuke. Did he enjoy my sudden phobia of Naruto? Is that why he continued to torture me? Sick, sadistic, son of a duck!

The door was forced open, breaking the lock. The door now hung from only one hinge, when it usually had three. Sasuke was fuming with anger. Had I upset him? “There’s a girl here for you.” he growled, leaving. I felt large amounts of relief wash over my body, then instantly felt regret and guilt. How long was this going to last?

A girl with blue hair stepped into view, looking mildly amused. Michiko. I was oddly pleased to see her. But the feeling was bitter.  I wasn’t so sure how I felt about her, at the moment. Nonetheless, I jumped up to greet her. Mainly because I was in a rather odd position, curled up in a corner.

“Hello,” my voice was rather dull, so I added a smile. It obviously wasn’t very convincing, because Michiko gave me a funny look.

“Hi, Hitomi!” I see you’re living with Sasuke now.” She giggled. As if it was the funniest thing in the world. I didn’t find it quite as amusing as she did. In fact, just the opposite. I glared, hoping she would burst into flames before me. Or maybe I would intimidate her enough to leave.
