Our Reflection in Each Other's Eyes.

Chapter 34: Am I fighting against evil?

"How dark is Sasuke? Like how likely do you think he is to kill someone?"

I contemplated Sakura-chan's words as I recalled Sasuke's personality.

"There was a time I was terrified of him. The time after he killed Orochimaru-sama. He was just so... threatening and scary, I didn't want to look at him. As the time passed, he wasn't the same."

I paused before looking up.

"Now, I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who never took his threats serious," I laughed, "but someone like you two, I doubt he would ever be willing to kill."

"He tried to kill me though." Sakura spoke.

I turned to her in confusion.

"When?"

"At the Kage Summit. Well, I tried to kill him so I suppose that explains it."

"He killed a man named Danzo, correct?"

She nodded.

"From what I heard he blames Konoha for what happened to his clan and Itachi-san. I suppose he now sees you two as the enemy."

I looked up at the sky before speaking again.

"When he spoke of you two, although he did it with anger, his eyes showed sadness. I don't doubt he misses and cherishes you two. I'm certain he would never be willing to kill either of you."

"Did he ever kill Itachi?" Sakura asked.

I turned to her in confusion.

"That was always his goal." Naruto explained.

I remained silent contemplating on telling the two or not. I stopped walking, causing for the two to do the same.

"If I tell you two, do you promise to not tell anyone?"

The two saw how serious I was and nodded their head. I made them huddle closer where I whispered the answer to them.

"What? Really?" Naruto asked.

I nodded my head.

"So what stopped him?" Sakura whispered.

"I did. They were already fighting but I had always told him to talk to him first. When I arrived they were already a good several minutes into their fight."

"So you got in between the two?" Naruto pushed for detail.

"I used the curse mark I had to stop them. They talked it out while I still held them apart and ended peacefully."

"Wow." Naruto smiled. "I'm glad you did what you did."

I nodded, "Yeah."

"Now he isn't alone." Sakura smiled.

"Exactly."

We reached the ramen shop and took our seats. When I was asked what I wanted, I turned to Naruto-kun for recommendation. He gave the order as we waited for our food.

The flap behind us opened to reveal Kakashi Sensei. He greeted us as he took his seat beside Naruto-kun.

"Ah, Kyoko have you met Kakashi Sensei?"

I nodded my head as he did the same.

"Wow, how?" He asked.

"I was her opponent when she received the headband she carries around."

"You got a headband just by fighting Kakashi Sensei?!"

I giggled before nodding my head.

"Wow, how strong is she Sensei?" Naruto immediately asked.
