Moe's POV

I felt tears streaming off my face as I ran in the direction of Suna. I still can't believe Sasuke yelled at me... That he didn't believe me. The look of betrayal in his eyes still haunt me. It hurt to see him look at me like that.

Guilt started building up inside of me, and I thought about going back. About apologizing. But after that... I don't think he'd want to see me again. My legs started to tremble from fatigue and I took this as a chance to get some rest.

I slowed down and walked into a small town nearby. I wiped my face and entered a small Inn. The lady smiles and looked up at me, "Hello, how may I help you?" She asked kindly. I gave her a small smile, "I'd like to rent a room please." I told her. She nodded and handed me a key, "You're room number is 301." She told me.

I blinked at the number, "Just like the Chunnin Exams..." I whispered to myself. I walked down the hall and unlocked my room. I walked in and put my stuff on the small bed. My body was aching for a hot shower, so I grabbed a towel and walked in.

Sasuke's POV

Suigetsu walked in the room and looked around, "Where's Moe? I thought I heard her voice?"he asked. I rubbed my hands down my face and looked at him, "She's gone... We got into an argument." I told him.

Suigetsu glared at me, "What did you do?" He asked me, trying to calm down. I saw him clench and unclench is fist. I looked down, "I accused her of betraying me... Because she's been leading us in the wrong direction... I yelled at her and... I didn't mean what I said." I said more to myself than him.

I was about to speak when Suigetsu punched me in the face. I spit some blood out and looked up at him, "You bastard! Moe loved you! Why would you fuck it up?! She doesn't deserve a bastard like you. You never cared for her did you?" He said while glaring at me.

Something snapped inside of me and I stood up, slamming him against the wall. "Don't tell me that I don't care for her! You don't know anything about me or her!" I yelled in his face. He glared at me, "I might not know anything about you two... But I know that Moe doesn't deserve this, a selfish bastard like you who doesn't think about anyone but himself." He said and pushed me away.

"You disgust me." He spat. He left, slamming the door on his way out. I sat down on my bed. I hate to admit it but... He's right. I'm selfish... I never thought about what Moe might want. I looked down sadly, "I don't deserve someone like Moe." I said tears threatening to come out. "Moe... I'm so sorry."

Moe's POV

I got out of the shower and got dressed. I sat on the bed and looked down sadly. Guilt crept up inside me again. "I... Shouldn't have lead them. I should have followed." I said to myself. It's my fault Sasuke doesn't trust me anymore. He already has trust issues... I was the only person he trusted in his life. And I fucked it up. I started tearing up again, "W-why can't you do anything right?" I asked myself angrily.

'Hostess, it isn't your fault. If he loves you, he'll come back. If he doesn't then he wasn't the one for you. Try and take a break from him, clear your mind, relax a little.' Miki comforted me. I stood up and started packing, "You're right Miki." I told her.
