Raptured ◈ Sasuke Uchiha

II

I sneaked right through the sliding door and went off at the edge of the main household, passing through the tall trees, walking in sounds of silence. The outdoors seemed great as I wanted a time to think about a lot of things. Come to think of it, I remember how the two adults gave stern gazes as I was about to leave the vicinity. My body automatically shrugged in a mere thought. It wasn't my business to interfere and it would probably be bothersome if I did.

My ears perked up when I heard a sound of a passing kunai, landing upon a wooden board. A small gasp of amazement rang after. I hastily went where the noise came from. A young boy seemed to smile from excitement for what the older boy did. Both were of the same clan for which they had the Uchiha fan symbol visible from their back. "You're the strongest ninja I know, brother. I will definitely train to become stronger like you!" The younger boy exclained, his cheeks flushed a tinge of pink, similar to the cherry blossom trees that flourished the season. However, my cover was revealed when his older brother looked in my direction.

His younger brother seemed wary as soon as he looked through what his older brother was looking. "Nii-san, who is that kid?" His finger pointed at where I stood.

The older brother raised his left eyebrow in curiosity as well. "Gomen... I was just exploring the forest when I heard some voices." I managed to say in a polite manner, noticing that the younger brother was hiding behind the older brother's tall frame. "I'm Itachi Uchiha and this is my younger brother, Sasuke." He gave a charming smile while analyzing my features. "You seem to be in age with Sasuke. What brings you here this side of the forest?" Sasuke remained silent, watching me with those doe-like eyes. "Ah, I was merely dismissed by my father since he was talking with the clan leader." Itachi-san seemed thoughtful for a moment, as a small gentle breeze caused some of the leaves to fell from it's branches. "Are you a boy?" Sasuke asked, seemed to be taken aback to what I had said. "No." Was my curt reply. A small chuckle emitted from Itachi. "Sasuke, you should be more respectful to girls." His head turned towards his older brother. "Why is it nii-san? She doesn't look girly to me." Itachi glanced to look at me. I remained passive, Sasuke was merely being reasonable. I was used to people telling me that, I looked the same as my father but with much softer features. "You'll know what I mean when you grow up, little brother."

"Itachi-nii, can we play with her?" He tugged unto the hem of his shirt, registering that I was a fellow clanmate. "Sure  why not?"

And that's how we ended up, running with the wind. My thoughts were jumbled, I couldn't seem to decide to where should I hide. My otou-san had told me not to get attached with Fugaku-san's children. Sasuke and Itachi, sons of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, the clan's main branch. But what intrigued me was Itachi Uchiha, the child prodigy.

My body was pressed behind a tall sakura tree that hid me from the 'it's view. I felt my breath hitched as a few minutes passed a sound of running footsteps came near. I have managed to run far away from the area yet near within the village's park.

Sasuke was lost when he came searching for the bob haired female. It wasn't that the girl looked more like a boy but he couldn't help himself to speak so that the girl's attention would be on him. He hadn't meant to insult her in any manner. When he had found his nii-san, Itachi had told him that he would be back for he was summoned by their father. The younger Uchiha gave a short nod but shortly after Itachi had told him where the girl was hiding. A small mischievous grin appeared on his face once he spotted a shadow that seemed to be leaning against the tree, small petals fell down as the wind blew its way.

His footsteps were much more silent as he went through the other side to surprise her. I wonder if she would shriek when I'll find her. He thought while stealthily watching her back as she was searching for the intruder.

She sensed an untamed chakra that was creeping out behind her. A small gasp of surprise and scarlet red painted her face once she had faced the intruder in rather a complicated situation. Sasuke's mouth was wide open in attempt to shout at her face in merely centimeters near which only resulted in a very blood curdling, jaw dropping, eye widening and many other things to describe a very surprised reaction. His lips were firmly planted on hers, with his cheeks were currently as red as his favorite tomatoes. She quickly withdraw herself covering her mouth, his lips gave a warm feeling within her. "I- I- uhhh..." His head shook in a very defensive manner while flinging his hands in an attempt to explain, losing his senses to think clearly.

"Uhmm.. I- It was an.. a-" Her head suddenly felt lighter as she felt the warmth and tingling sensation that lingered within her lips. "What are you guys doing?" Both snapped out of their senses when the older Uchiha came with a lost expression in his face. "Do I need to know what had happened here?"

My face was stoic, surpressing a sudden wave of emotion that had get through me. "My forehead smacked against his." I audibly said, making him sigh in relief. "I thought that you two were in trouble as Sasuke was shouting but was choking in his own words." I sweatdropped as Sasuke meekly scratched his head. "A- ahahaha.. Gomene.. I was just merely shocked the sudden impact." Oh, and what an impact that it had done to me. I thought upon following them.
