You've... changed. (naruto fanfic)

Chapter 12

---3rd person---

It's now two weeks out of the four that the Genin have got to prepare for the third exam and in that time, Kiyomi has changed.

After what Kisame had told her, she was training twice as hard, going quiet, not being so normal.

She like Gaara, had gone cold. Just hearing his name had brought back all the memories of what happened that night.

She didn't want to remember. She hated those memories, but now, she was going to get revenge. She was going to make him pay.

"How much longer till we get there?" Kiyomi asked as she kept walking, not bothering to look at Kisame or Itachi.

"We’ll reach him by tonight." answered Itachi simply.

"You know Kiyomi," started Kisame with a grin. "This will probably be your only chance to kill him."

"I only need one chance." Kiyomi replied coldly.

Kisame grinned.

He could see the girl he use to see, the cold blood thirsty one he meet long ago was returning. He preferred her like this. The way she will just kill whoever gets in her way.

She'd be a great contribution to the Akatsuki.

I sighed as I lay in my hotel bed.

So much has happened since Kiyomi left. Well not actually that much to be honest.

Basically Rei and I are going out and Mariko is dating one of the Leaf ninja! But she still won't tell us who it is!

Ugh. But as well as that, even though Rei's been stuck in hospital, I've made heaps of new friends!

So first there's Naruto you know the one that beat up Kiba! Oh Kiba too! I like them both! Also that Hinata girl is sweet! And well to be honest, the bug guy Shino, he creeps me out and I don't think he likes me.

Also Shikamaru is cool! Well he's just annoyed most of the time but he's nice. I also like Choji! He's really nice!

But yeah that's basically it hahah.

Yet even with Rei to take care of and all these distractions, I still can't help but worry about Kiyomi.

I know she can take care of herself and all, but I just have this feeling. You know when you just get these gut feelings that something has happened to someone? Well I have that right about now with Kiyomi.

I don't even know why! I mean it's not telling me that she's hurt, I just have the feeling something is wrong with her.

"Ugh!" I growled as I threw my pillow at the wall. "Maybe I should go do a bit of training to take my mind off things."

---Mariko---

I watched from a distance as Kakashi was training his student Sasuke.

I think he's hot as a sensei. He's like perfect teacher, he teaches you only what you need to know and makes you do the rest yourself.

I don't know what it is about this guy but he makes me... not lazy I guess. He makes me want to actually get up in the morning so I can see him.

He knows I'm here, he can sense me. I don't think the kid can but what do I care? I'm only really here to see Kakashi.

Actually... now that I think about... I kinda feel like a stalker/pervert...
