~Chapter Eighteen~
Yet again I was outside, halfway through my ciggarette when someone interupted me.
"Why are you even here?" I took another hit of my ciggarette as I turned around to face Shikamaru. He lazily looked from my ciggarette to me not saying a word.
"Well, I was planning on finishing my cig-"
"I ment why are you in the acadamy?" I sighed and took another hit before answering him.
"Technically, I'm classed as a chunin. But since I've never worked with..people my age, the Hokage thought it would be best that I be placed on a team with the geinnin." I took a deep drag of my ciggarette as I analized his reaction to my confection. He nodded in understandment.
"That would explain your chakra level being higher than anyone in the class." I smerked and blew out the smoke away from his face.
"Shika, I'm hidding a good amount of my chakra." His eyes grew a little wide but quickly turned into a smerk.
"Why aren't you like normal girls? You wear a trench coat and a mask, your fighting style is unbelievable, and your not worried about what people think about you." I was shocked to say the least when he, I guess, complimented me.
"She's a freak, simple as that." Shika and I turned around to find a girl with short, light brown hair that went to the top of her sholders. her black eyes glaring daggers at me, I reconized her as one of the other girls that entered the bathroom with Ino. I raised my eyebrow as she placed a hand on her hip.
"And who are you?" She snorted and folded her arms over her chest.
"I'm Ashitoa, Suzume. Sasukes' future wife." I busted out laughing after she said that. If she was mad before, she was enraged now. I was still laughing when a sharp pain shot through my stomack. My eyes bolted open and locked on to the deadly glare of Suzume. I looked down and saw that she had stabed me with her kuni.
"K-KIMI!" Shika shouted, but I forced my mind to calm down as I focusted my chakra into my right fist.
"Your not so tuff now are you, Kimi?" I scowled at her smug face as she twisted the blade inside of me, then I punched her in the jaw. She flew back and landed on her back, I looked to the kuni still sticking out of my abdomen, I hissed as I slowly pulled it out. Throwing it on the ground as I walked up to this bitch. She stood up and pulled out another kuni and swong her arm to cut my face. I lifted my left hand to block her attack and the blade sliced open the palm of my hand. Next thing I know, I was being pushed into someones' warm embrase. I looked up and saw that Shikamaru was looking over my sholder.
"S-sasuke! I th-thought you w-went home." I turned my head and saw that Sasuke was indeed standing there, holding on to Suzumes' wrist and glaring at her.
"What do you think your doing." By the look of pain in her features, he was squezing her wrist hard. She wimpered and droped the bloodied kuni.
"I-I wa-as just-"
"She stabed Kimi in the stomack and sliced her hand." Shika grabed my hand and turned it so he can see the cut. He tutched the skin around the wound and I hissed. Sasukes' head snaped toward us then he tossed Suzume on the ground. As he walked toward us I slowly tried to stand on my own, but failed. Shika was ready to catch me but Sasuke beat him to it. I took in a sharp breath as his hand landed right where she stabed me, he looked at his hand and then picked me up bridal style.
"Sasuke, put me down I fine." He ignored me and looked to Shikamaru.
"Tell the Hokage what Suzume did to Kimi." Shika nodded after looking at me. Sasuke then bagan to run, he held me close to his chest as he jumped up onto the roof tops. We were at his house in no time at all.
"Why are you doing this?" He lent me against his body as he unlocked his front door. The arm that he placed around my hip tightening as he glared at the door.
"Don't look into this too much." I flinched back a little at how cold his voice was. He opened the door and led me to his bedroom.
"Sit, I'll be right back." And without another word he left me standing in the middle of his room..alone....again! I sighed and took a seat on the edge of his bed, the last time I was here I was too busy looking for a way out to actually care what his room looked like. I was never allowed in his room when we were younger and this may be the only chance I got to see what his room is like, so, I looked around. It had pale dark blue walls and all of the furnature was black, the curtains were a raidient blood red with a thin black trimming. He had some of his weapons laied out with the cleaning supplies next to them, other than that everything was all neet and clean but he only had one picture, it was in a beautiful black picture frame. The photo was of his mother and father standing next to eachother, smiling. The door opened and Sasuke walked in carring a first aid kit, he set it down next to the picture.
"Lie down and pull your dress up." My eyes widened.
"W-what?!" He rolled his eyes at me and tried to lay me down, I slaped his hand away and glared at him. He frownd and shook his head.
"Your wound baka." My face redend at the embarising thoughts that were going through my mind and how stupid I felt. 'Sasuke would never even think of me like that, how much dumber can I get..' I laied down as I pulled up my dress just above the cut. 'I am SOOOO happy that I put on shorts.' I looked up at the white ceiling as he got the equipment ready. He didn't warn me when he started to clean the wound, I sucked in a sharp breath as the cold liquid was pored onto me. He grunted and grabed the biggest needle EVER! I whimpered as I tried to scoot away from him. He smerked and shook his head as he put the thred through the needle.
"What's so funny?" I never took my eyes off of the needle he held in his hands.
"You were always afriade of needles, I guess somethings never change." I was suprized that he remembered that about me, I looked to him in silent shock. He was still as he looked at me then he glared at his hands for a second before his emotions were hidden from sight.
"Do you want something to bite on?" I glanced at were Suzume stabed me and shook my head no. I kept my eyes focused on the ceiling as he started to stitch me up.
