Living Out A Prophecy

Chapter 4

     Nao watched as Sasuke practiced his taijutsu with Futoshi. Daichi was standing with a far off look in his eyes as he leaned against a tree, but Futoshi knew he was analyzing the young Uchiha. He was figuring out his weaknesses and how to make him better. He had to make sure the boy could protect his precious little sister, his little imouto.

     "That's enough!" Daichi stated suddenly.

     Futoshi was about to block Sasuke's kick when he stopped it in mid air. Futoshi was surprised and smiled slightly. The young Uchiha had good control. Sasuke shoved his hands in his pockets and was about to walk away when Daichi stopped him.

     "You fight me now," Daichi stated with a pensive look on his face.

     He studied the bored look Sasuke was giving him and got into a fighting stance. Sasuke sighed and followed suit, getting into his own stance.

     All of a sudden Daichi was seen where Sasuke was and the Uchiha was nowhere to be found. All of a sudden he was behind the taller male.

     "Fast...nice," Sasuke said in a low voice.

     Nao stood up and tilted her head to the side slightly wondering why Daichi wanted to fight him all of a sudden. He had no interest at all for the past week. It was then it hit her and her eyes widened.

     "He was studying him to learn his weak point to use against him!" Nao exclaimed in a whisper.

     Nao smiled. Daichi never went up against an opponent that was weaker than him. The only way he would fight was if the opponent was stronger than him or just as strong.

     "You were holding back on Futoshi, Sasuke-san, weren't you?" Daichi asked as he glanced at the younger male over his shoulder.

     Sasuke let a smirk on his face and glanced up, his eyes meeting with Daichi's.

     "Observant I see," Sasuke stated with a confident tone of voice. "I guess it's no use hiding it then, now is there?"

     All of a sudden the boys were going at each other with kunai. Sasuke was holding his own well. Daichi smirked and narrowed his eyes slightly. Sasuke frowned, not liking the sudden change of attitude in the brunette.

     They jumped away from each other and Sasuke started doing hand signs. A great big fireball was shot at Daichi. When it was finished Sasuke looked around seeing Daichi wasn't there.

     "Right here!"

     Sasuke froze hearing the words whispered into his ear and felt the cold blade of a kunai against his ribs and another against his neck. Sasuke smirked. He wasn't mad about losing for once.

     "Nicely done," Daichi stated with an approving nod to the ravenette as he removed his kunai and put them back in the holder.

     Sasuke turned around to look up at the male with a smug smirk and nodded back. It was then small arms were thrown around both boys.

     "That was awesome!" Nao exclaimed as she hugged them.

     Daichi laughed as he was pulled down on his knees since she was so small. Sasuke groaned, but he couldn't hide the small smirk from her action. She finally let them both go and they went inside to find Futoshi making sandwiches. Sasuke looked at the time and cursed though.

     "I'm late," he muttered, back to his mostly emotionless self.

     He began to leave when a hand grabbed his wrist. He glared at the person but it dropped just slightly seeing it was Nao.
