Maybe your not so bad. Maybe. (Sasuke Uchiha) Book 2

Chapter 8

  I sighed as I read the clock.  It was only 5:00.  I wanted to go talk to Da-Kakashi, but I didn't want to know the outcome.  I sighed as I looked down.  I went to go change my clothes. 

   Once I was done I walked to my door and turned the knob.  Click.  It was unlocked.  I pulled the door open and walked downstairs.  I looked everywhere but Kakashi wasn't here.  I sighed, knowing it was my fault he wasn't here.  I pulled open the door and walked out to the woods. 

  With Sasuke gone I felt more alone than ever.  I didn't know what to do.  I sat down against a tree and pulled my legs closer to me.  I wrapped my arms around my legs and laid my head down.  I looked at the small lake and raised my hand up.  Water came flowing up.  I then thought about Sasuke.  I didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.

    The water had turned into ice and slammed into the tree just beside me.  My breathing hitched and I jumped away.  What the heck was that?  I put my arms back at my side and stood up.  I then walked to the training area.  I was frustrated and I needed to train. 

  I stood in the middle of the training area and calmed myself down.  I needed to think closely.  I knew I needed to practice my Taijutsu the most.  I noticed a tree stump that was a little taller than I was.  I then began kicking it.  I kicked and kicked and kicked.  Sasuke was fueling my anger.  I then switched to the other leg and did the same thing. 

    I proceeded to do the same with both of my arms.  Then I went straight back to my legs once I was done.

    Hours later, sweat was pouring over me.  I was breathing heavily and I couldn't see straight.  I still punched though.  I hated him.  How could he do this to me?  How could he leave me here?  Alone and abandoned.   Did he not realize how much this would affect me? 

   I then felt hands wrap themselves around me.  "Ryoko, stop."  "No!"  Tears were falling as I tried to punch the log.  Then I felt Kakashi grab both my hands and turn me to face him.  "Ryoko it's time to stop."  "No, I have to, no!"  He grabbed me and pulled me into a hug.  "It's alright.  I understand."  I finally just stopped fighting as my tears soaked Kakashi's shirt. 

   I wanted to go away.  I was hurt and I didn't know what to do.  I felt him pick me up and run.  I didn't know when I stopped crying but at some point I was on my bed and Kakashi was kissing my forehead.  I knew he was sorry.  "Dad I'm"  "I know."  He tucked me in and I stayed like that for a while.  I didn't want to go to sleep.  I just wanted the pain to end.

   I began to drift around 4:00 a.m.   I noticed it was dark.  I sat down and didn't care what was going on.  I then heard a voice.  "Do you want the pain to end Ryoko?"  I nodded my head.  I didn't care what I had to do if it meant I wouldn't feel this.  "Come to me then." 

   When I awoke I remembered my dream.  I didn't want to but I knew I would always remember them.  I sighed as I rubbed my head.  I walked into the shower and stayed in there for a while.  The water was scalding and it was almost painful going down my back. My arms and legs were sore from yesterday.   I stretched and washed my hair. 

   Once done I reached for a towel and dried myself off.  I grabbed my clothes and slipped them on.  Winter would be soon, the weather was freezing.  I walked downstairs and Kakashi was making breakfast.  I hugged him and I could tell he smiled.  I sat down and he served breakfast.  "How are your arms and legs?"  "A little sore but they'll be fine."  He nodded while stuffing a bite into his mouth.  We finished quickly and I walked outside.  I knew they hadn't brought Sasuke back. 

  I felt the tears begin to come but I blinked them away.  I walked to the hospital.  I knew somebody had to be hurt if Kakashi wasn't saying anything.  "Ryoko"

  I turned around and
