Are you two bickering?

Tuesday, 23rd of July.

"Where the hell is he. We're running out of time." the man murmured between his teeth. He looked at the woman who was chained up to the ceiling. She was covered in bruises, proof that the other man who had to guard her before him hurt her. He rolled his eyes. "How unnecessary."

"What are you mumbling over there?" he looked at her. He thought that she had passed out from the pain already but he was obviously wrong.

"None of your business."

"I'm bored and I can hear you talk." he could see how painful it was for her to talk because of how swollen her lips were.

"Maybe you shouldn't talk or you'll hurt yourself even more."

"It barely hurts." he rose his eyebrows curiously. She seemed to be an interesting woman. "You're more talkative than the last one and less aggressive." he smiled.

"I guess you tried to talk to him and he punched you for that." he was purposely looking away from her. He could see that under the swelling and the bruising she was a beautiful woman. That would definitely make him softer and he couldn't be soft especially not with her. She was the enemy.

"Like I said to you, I was bored. How long have I been here for?"

"A day. We're the 23rd of July." one day left before the deadline given to Sasuke.

"You seem anxious, what is happening to you?"

"I am not. Be quiet."

"Why? Am I too charming for you?" he spun around and she chuckled. As she did, blood came out of her mouth.

"I'm not supposed to talk to the enemy."

"Am I really the enemy though?"

He thought about it for a second. Technically she wasn't, Sasuke was, so he walked up to her and sat in front of her. His eyes were at the level of her eyes.

"You look like a mess." he stated blankly.

"I would heal myself but-" she moved her wrists that were tied up to the low ceiling with chains and handcuffs. The metal rang in his ears. "I'm kinda stuck. It's fine, I'm not badly hurt."

"You're odd for a woman."

"What do you mean?"

"Women where I am from don't get to be ninjas."

"Why?"

"Good question. Traditions I guess, not that I use it as an excuse, I just don't have an answer for you."

"Why are you on their side? You actually seem to be a decent person."

"A lot of people on my side are decent people. It's not because we are you enemies that you need to dehumanise us."

Footsteps were coming towards them so he stood up quickly. As soon as he was back to where he stood in the first place, a comrade appeared outside of the cell.

"Uchiha's here. Come with us."

A ball of anxiety formed in his stomach. The Sasuke Uchiha was here and he was getting ready to fight him.

He ran out of the prison and finally got out. The sun blinded him for a second but his eyes got used to it quickly and he finally could see Sasuke standing tall in front of them. His Susano was activated in its perfect form. He admired the purple colour emanating from it. It was perfect.
