Step by step {Naruto fan fiction}: Book one

Chapter 39- The Kiss.

For the next few days it was just training between Itachi and I, occasionally Kasami would come and make a few comments and a ton of insults but that's just they way he was.

Right now I sat on a tree root sipping some tea next to Kasami, Itachi was standing, deep in thought.

"So revenge eh?" Kasami asked.

I nodded wordlessly.

"How so?"

I glanced at the shark man and knitted my eyebrows, "How so what?"

"Well," Kasami said shrugging. "How so, as in what happened? People don't just betray everyone in their village for some petty betrayal."

Betrayal, there was that word again, I still can't believe I was doing this. But I would hurt everyone more if I stayed anyways, besides what I said wasn't a total lie. I did want my revenge and the village was also keeping me from it, not in the way you would think though.

Obviously if I did carry out my revenge while still being in the village, people around me could get hurt. In fact they would, Nekito would do the same to them as he did my village.

"Hey squirt! You didn't answer my question!"

I looked at Kasami startled, "Sorry, deep in thought. Um....... What was the question again?"

Kasami sighed, "Nevermind!"

I smiled, sure these guys were evil but they were fun to hang out with too.

"You know what!" Kasami suddenly shouted. "I'm going back to base, I'm bored! See you later Itachi, squirt."

"Don't call me that!" I protested.

"Yeah well what'cha gonna do about it?!"

"I'll kill you bastard!"

Kasami snorted, "Yeah the day you can kill me is the day I'm a women."

I smirked, "Yeah? Well you best be buying some tampons than!"

"Whatever," Kasami snorted again, "See yeah squirt." Than he poofed away.

I looked to Itachi, "Can I kill him? Please!"

"No," Itachi said with no emotion, but suddenly he cracked a smile. "Your a weird one you know?"

"How so?"

"Well," Itachi murmured. "Kasami would usually kill someone who threatened to kill him, to him life is all just a game. The ones who have the most power and know how to play it end up at the top and the ones who don't die. Yet he doesn't see you as a threat but even with a comment like that he just laughs and jokes around with you. How do you do that?"

I shrugged, "I guess I am an awesome person after all." I said it nonchalantly but now that Itachi says it it does peek my interest, I don't think I have any really effect on people around me. Do I?

There was a moment of silence but than I spoke.

"Do you ever miss the leaf?"

Itachi looked at me, "Why ask a question like that? It's obvious I don't."

"Really?" I furrowed my brow. "Because to me it seems like you desperately miss something but know everything will be ruined if you take it? I just want to know what it is."

"There is nothing I want except for more power, to gain it and use it. To prove that I am above all else," Itachi said.

"You don't seem like it."

"Many people are not what they seem."

"That's not what I mean," I huffed. "You give out a aura of longing....... So that's why I asked do you miss the leaf....... Or perhaps a more appropriate question would be..... Do you miss Sasuke?"
