Aki 06

*Sasuke is definitely out of character for the first half of this chapter. I’m sorry, I had no ideas on how to fix it, hopefully the second half of the chapter makes up for it~

Soma and Fuyu rushed over to Sasuke till they finally reached their destination behind him. 

Soma looked over at Fuyu and gave her the sign to be as quiet as possible before creeping branch to branch closer to Sasuke. 

Just before he was about to poke his shoulder, Sasuke disappeared from in front of Soma only to reappear behind Fuyu, holding up a kunai not too far off from her neck. 

“What, you guys thought it would be that easy to get me?” Sasuke growled.

Fuyu completely froze, only being able to look at the kunai threatening her life, and back at Soma’s relaxed expression. Kunai. Soma. Kunai. Soma. 

“Soma.” she mouth, not being able to find her voice. “Sasuke.” she gasped out, finally reaching her right hand to the arm he had around her chest. 

“Let’s not get too eager here Sasuke.” Soma reasoned. 

“Why not?” 

“Because we weren’t going to try what you were thinking.” 

“And how am I supposed to know that. This is a contest after all.” Sasuke paused looking down at Fuyu. “There’s no other reason to believe that you guys wouldn’t try to come against me.” 

“We weren’t-”

“You of all people should know that I’d never do that.” Fuyu finally said. “It wouldn’t make any sense t6 even try…Sasuke.” 

Sasuke tightened the grip around the kunai handle slightly. “That was so long ago though, Fuyu. How do I know that you haven’t changed your mind?”

“Because I haven’t changed.” she responded almost inaudibly. 

Soma maintained his gaze on Sasuke, watching as he went through a mental debate. “Sasuke.” he whispered. “Let her go.” 

Sasuke shot his gaze up to Soma, then back down to Fuyu. “Promise Fuyu.” he whispered into her ear “Promise that you haven’t changed.” he added even quieter. 

“I promise.” Fuyu complied. 

As soon as the last letter rolled off her tongue, Sasuke let her go, dropping the kunai completely. 

Instinctively, Fuyu jumped over to the branch Soma was on before fixing her saddened gaze on Sasuke. 

Soma looked over at Fuyu, looking her square in the eyes. “Are you alright?” he whispered, resting a hand lightly on her back.

“…yeah.” she responded quietly, nodding her head slightly. 

“So.” Soma began looking back over to Sasuke. “Do you want to hear our offer? Or just attack us again?” 

Sasuke huffed loudly. “Go ahead.” he responded looking back down at the clearing. 

“Work with us.” Soma said simply. 

“Why should I?” Sasuke growled back.

“Just makes more sense, doesn’t it? 1 Genin vs. 2 Jonin compared to 3 Genin vs. 2 Jonin. It’ll still be hard, but it won’t be as hard if it were just 1 of us.” 

Sasuke veered his gaze over to Fuyu, who still remained silent. I’m sorry. Sasuke thought to himself sincerely. I should’ve known.
