Chapter Six

KAMINA

“You’re here again?” I asked aloud as I sensed Sasuke’s presence behind me.

“Yeah” He said. Soft thuds were heard as he walked to towards me.

“Why are you always here with me?” I wondered as he sat down beside me.

He shrugged. “Don’t really know… I just feel…normal here” he muttered with embarrassment. He’s embarrassed of what?

“So you feel abnormal when you’re not here? You’re a psycho then” I humored

Luckily, Sasuke gave a small laugh. “That’s not what I meant. It’s just… when I’m here; I’m able to act like a normal person. Not like when I’m out in the open where girls always tell me how perfect they see me and how they want me to be theirs. When I’m here, it’s quiet and I can think and say as I please without hearing a squeal or a scream that somehow makes me deaf. “ Sasuke said.

I giggled. “You got that right. I saw how irritated you were a while ago when those girls kept arguing about who you wanted to sit with back in the academy. I think they didn’t notice how your silence meant ‘I’d rather sit with a rock than any of you’. “I quoted

Sasuke chuckled before a smirk slowly made its way up to his pale face. “What?” I asked, confused as to why he would suddenly smirk that way.

“So you were staring at me that time. I caught you once but I thought I was just imagining. But now I have proof.” He said with a smirk still on his face.

My eyes widened as I remembered that incident. I suddenly grew an anime vein as I registered everything he said. “You liar, if you thought you only imagined that I stared at you, then why did you smirk at me before you turned back around?! It was obvious that you were proud of yourself for something when you caught me ‘staring’ at you! And for your information, I wasn’t staring! I was observing!” I screamed… but sad to say, my screams and shouts aren’t really loud enough for a person to notice that I’m irritated or angry. People I’ve met always said that my screams only sounded like a high-pitched voice that was normally talking.

Sasuke’s smirk widens. “You know, your scream sounds like a voice of a normal person talking. It’s not really that loud… And by the way, when you observe, you stare at the thing or person you’re observing so technically, it’s the same thing.” He said

I scoffed. “Whatever you say and please, Uchiha” I said as I looked up at the night sky.

We stayed silent for a while. Once again, I find this kind of silence quite comfortable.

“When was the last time you slept?” Sasuke asked.

I stared at the sky for a little longer before answering. “When I was seven years old”

“So you haven’t slept for five years?” he asked and I nodded.

He was silent for a while. Looking up at the night sky, I saw a shooting star. I quickly closed my eyes and crossed the index finger and middle finger of both of my hands before taking in a deep breath and making a wish.  Once I was finished, I opened my eyes and uncrossed my fingers.

“Nice ritual” Sasuke commented

I smiled a little bit. “My mom taught me to do that. She said that it somehow increases the chance of your wish coming true.” I said

I heard Sasuke chuckle. “And you believe that?” he asked

I shrugged. “Yup, sounds naïve but… yeah” I said

It was silent again but I didn’t argue. I gave a small laugh when I heard Sasuke yawn.

“Sleep” I said

“No”

“Go to sleep, Uchiha… You need it”

“You need it too.”

“I told you, I can’t sleep. Now go to sleep and savor your dreams” I said

For now, he didn’t protest but I could feel his intense gaze on me before he sighed in defeat.

“Fine. Goodnight, Kamina.” He said before I felt him jump off the roof.

“Sweet dreams, Sasuke” I said

This time, I didn’t go to cliff. Instead, I just stared at the sky all night thinking about my past, my present and my possible future; wondering what will happen to me if I stayed here in the village for life.

Could I be happy? Could I be strong enough to protect to ones I will care for in this village the way I wanted to protect my clan from the massacre? Could I… could I find… love and comfort?

I wonder…
