The Sage's Daughter (Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 9 - Alessandro

Chapter 9

"Yaaaaaa!"

Naruto flung three fish out from the river, this was his job. Sasuke's job was to throw kunai at them and make sure they were dead. Sakura on the other hand was making a fire while I.. sat back and relaxed, there was nothing better for me to do really. "Your being really lazy today Alexis" I nodded and pat Dante's head. "That's kinda rich coming from you Dante" He chuckled and lay his head down to rest.

"We need to have food for later. 3 fish isn't enough. Do it three more times, moron" Sasuke ordered, like the leader he is. "This is really tiring. Why don't you do it?" I chuckled at there, once again, usless argueing. 

Once the fire was set up, we pierced the fish with sharp sticks and placed them down to cook. "This is the 4th afternoon since the start of the second test, we only have about 25-26 hours left" Sasuke informed. It was silent, excluding Naruto as he muttered about the food, until Sakura began speaking of her thoughts about the test.

Sasuke decided to go get some water and began walking off. Me, not wanting to stay behind to witness the two idiots unscrolling the scroll, followed after him. "Why are you following me?" I shrugged "I didn't want to stay behind with those two. Your the only near normal one in this group.. except for Dante and I" "Hn.. Where is your wolf?" I smirked slightly. "Lets just say he's..gone hunting" I saw confusion pass his eyes, but he let it go with a "Hn"

The rest of the way towards the river was spent being silent. When we actually got there, I was about to fill the bottle when, I felt Kabuto's presence. I quickly filled our containers with water. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, my foot slipped on a loose rock and I fell backwards into the river.

I let out a small cry as the cold water soaked through my clothes. "Baka" I glared at Sasuke, who was standing over me with a smirk plastered over his face. "Stop smirking at me. It's not even funny" He rose an eyebrow. "Really.." It was silent between us for a moment before he placed his hand in front of me. I just stared at it, unsure of what to do.

"Are you going to take it, or what?" Placing my hands in his, I got an awesome idea. Just as he was lifting me up, I pulled on his arm instead, sending him into the water beside me. I smirked as he sat up and glared at me.

"What?" "..That was unnecessary" I shrugged "Not my problem. Deal with it" His glare hardened and he shoved me down so that my head went under. I took a breath when I surfaced again and scowled. "What the hell Sasuke!" He smirked and stood up without another word. I was angry.

Before he could walk away, I grabbed it ankle and he fell forward, hitting his head on the bank of the river. I chuckled inwardly before standing up myself. "Hey!" Sasuke went and grabbed for my arm, but missed seeing as he reached for the wrong one. His glare dropped and I chuckled "..Sorry, I forgot" I faked surprise "Did the emo boy just apologise. What is the world coming to?" I looked at the sky, as though waiting for it's almighty answer.

"Your such a dobe" I scoffed "And your not?" He shook his head and reached for my other arm, taking a hold of my wrist. "I can walk without you holding my hand, ya know" He shrugged "I don't want you pushing me into the water again" "..Who are you?" He just stared at me as though I gained an extra head. "Seriously. Who are you? Sasuke's supposed to be more Sasuke like. This Sasuke is showing to much emotion. Your going to ruin everything" Slapping my hand over my mouth, I scolded myself mentally.

"..What do you mean.. 'ruin everything'?" I shrugged "What are you talking about? I never said anything like that" He stopped dragging me and pushed me against a large rock, just up ahead was our camp. 

I scowled "What was that for?" I moved away from the rock, just to be pushed back again. My scowl deepened. "Stop it!" "Who are you?" I rose an eyebrow at his sudden question. "Alexis. Who else would I be?" He came closer. "I mean: why are you here? where do you come from? how do you know Orochimaru?" "..I don't need to answer any of your questions. Besides, why do you think I know Oro-chan?" He smirked and I cursed at my stupidity.
