Sleeping Dragon (Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

The room was in silence as everyone stared at me with wide eyes. All of a sudden, laughter began echoing throughout the room, bouncing off the walls. I stared at Kotaro with narrowed, angry eyes. "What's so funny?!" I exclaimed. He wiped away an imaginary tear and calmed slightly, still letting out a mad chuckle now and then.

"O-Oh, it's nothing. Just.. what your assuming is rather funny" I glared and slammed my hand down on his desk "I'm not assuming anything! I know there's something wrong here!" I felt hands on my shoulders and glanced over my shoulder. Kakashi was staring down at me with a stern look. My scowl deepened "Let me go Kakashi" "Calm down Suki" I pushed him away from me "I will not calm down!" 'Lady Cael... please calm down' Shiro stated calmly.

Ignoring her, I walked over to the door and as I placed my hand on the door knob, I looked back to a smirking Kotaro. I narrowed my eyes and gave him a 'I'm watching you' look before opening the door, walking out and slamming it closed behind me.

The slam caused the others to jump in their seats and whiz around to see what had caused the disturbance. My eyes where still in their scowling position as I glanced over each of them. Ino stook up and walked towards me with a raised eyebrow, obviously confused. "What's up with that look?" She questioned.

I scoffed, still pissed off and stomped over to the couch, plopping down beside the calmest of the bunch; Sasuke Uchiha. He stared at me, something passed through his eyes, I couldn't tell what it was. "What?!" I hissed with venom. By now, they were all surrounding me wide-eyed at my sudden change.

"Seriously, what happened in there to make you this pissed off?" "Leave it" Ino sighed and sat on the floor infront of me, turning on the t.v and watching a random channle. The room was silent and I noticed many of them watch me from the corners of their eyes every now and then.

After around 10 more minutes of silence, the door to Kotaro's office opened and out stepped the three men. Kakashi looked at me with a 'I want to talk to you' look. I shrugged and turned away, however not before catching the look Kotaro was giving me.

"Kakashi-sensei, Guy-sensei! How'd it go?" Lee asked, eye sparkling and excitement. I rolled my eyes and huffed. Kakashi came and stood before us, taking out his Icha Icha paradise book and flipping through the pages. "Well, tomorrow morning we're going to be leaving for Katsureki village" I growled lowly at the name, which Sasuke, who was closer, seemed to hear.

"There is a rather strong barrier surounding the whole village and no one can get in, you can't even see the inside-" Ino interrupted him by asking a question "Hold on! I've never heard of such a village, why do we even need to go there?" "I'm getting to that. Be patient Ino" She blushed slightly but nodded. "Anyway, as I was saying. The inside is not visible to the outside and when touched, it 'attacks' you. The reason why we have to go there, is because Kotaro-san thinks it's highly possible that they are the ones attacking. We need to find a way to destroy this barrier"

Neji nodded with a thinking face. "But" he began "That doesn't explain why we've never heard of such a village" Kakashi hmm'd "To be honest, I've never heard of this village before either. It's been kept unknown from the world, along with this village, until now" By now, I stopped listening and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Sasuke questioned as I passed him. Ignoring him, I walked to the door. It seems that Guy also noticed I was leaving as he came and blocked my path. I tilted my head to look up at him and rose an eyebrow "Where are you going?" I shrugged "To the hot springs" He blushed slightly and I smacked him on the arm "Your thinking pervy thought's aren't you" I stated with an irk mark.

Groaning, I pushed him out the way and made my way towards the door. Suddenly, Ino shouted "Hey! Suki! Wait up, me and Hinata are coming with you" I stiffened at the thought of them seeing me without any clothes on. 'They're gonna find out sooner or later, Lady Cael' I nodded inwardly. "Fine! Hurry up though" She and Hinata rushed towards me.
