The next couple of hours. We left the castle. "Hey, War."

"Yes, Sakura?"

"Where is this tower"

"In the center of the burning lake. It's a very hot place. To get there, you need to fly."

"There's no other way to get there?" I asked.

"No, the boats will burn because of the hot waters. The tower is built under the volcano."

I look down. 'Damn it.'

...

Next two days, we haven't heard anything from Night. We were worried about her. Until the following week. I was waking up from my bed to do my daily routine when someone knocked on the door.

I went to open it and it was Night. She has a little band-aid on her cheek. "Sasuke," she hugs me. "I miss you."

"Night." I hug her back. I pulled away and saw her smiling. "What happened to your cheek?"

"Don't worry about it." She places her right hand on her cheek.

"It's because of him?" I said.

Night looks to the side. "I kind of displayed some emotion, but I should be fine. Thanks for worrying. Have you eaten, Sasuke?" She grabs my hand, "I'll cook for you. By the way, I don't have any food in the apartment that I am staying at."

She comes in, closing the door behind her. She removes her shoes and drags me into the kitchen. I watched her getting the stuff out and some of the food floats in the air towards her. I watch her chop away the vegetables.

...

I help set up the table as she and her spirits bring it over. We eat together. "Sasuke, you never really asked why you don't ask questions to your parents. Maybe they will help you ease the pain a little."

I grip the spoon. "I-I d-don't need them."

"As you wish, Sasuke."

"The spirits were telling before I came to you. Someone likes Naruto."

That intrigues me. "W-who is it?"

"Some girl named Hinata." Night eats her food. "I know, Sakura likes you and you like her, right." I choke on my food. "Don't choke."

I drank my water. "You think I like her?"

"Of course, don't you marry her and have a child? It seems to fit the future. When my mission is done here, I go back to the tower never to see you or anyone again. So, I am enjoying my time here."

I looked down, unable to say I like her. I am a shy man when it comes to that.

Night smiles and says, "well, I hope I didn't mess it up. It will break the future because I like you." I looked at her. "You're red, Sasuke. Something is the matter?"

"Nothing." I looked to the side covering my face a little with my hands while holding the chopsticks. Night stands up and grabs my chin, making me look at her. "I have never seen a boy turn red before, that does that mean?"

I pulled away and stand up. "Sasuke, are you sure you are okay? What was that?" She says. I looked at her as her expression changes into a confusion. "What? Blushing?"

Night looks at me, "that's what you call blushing?" Night blushes. "So, cool. Why are you blushing, Sasuke."

"I-I..." I couldn't say it.

"Say it, Sasuke." Night went up to me and grabs my shoulder. "Tell me now. I want to hear it from you." I looked away, I notice she was pouting. "Tell me now."
