When I woke up, no one was there. Ugh, May probably wandered off on her own, and Emi probably went off to meet Gaara early just so that she could see him all to herself. Which was fine by me. I wanted Sasuke. This was before he went all evil and tried to take over the village. Maybe if I could talk to him and alter what was supposed to happen, maybe there wouldn't be so many hardships.
Getting up, I headed outside. Hmm, I headed for the Uchiha complex to see if Sasuke was there. If not, he was most likely training, which would give me a good excuse to talk to him. The others could wait at the gate for me. I wasn't ready to leave just yet.
The complex was empty, but I found Sasuke at the training grounds. Walking up behind him, I just watched him train. Without breaking stride, he asked, "How long are you going to stare at me?"
I shrugged. "Does it really matter?" He turned and gave me a funny look. "Look, I want to train. If I beat you, you have to be my friend. If I lose, I'll walk away and you'll never have to look at me again."
He frowned, but agreed.
Getting ready, I waited for him to make the first move. He activated his sharingan and threw kunei at me. Somehow, I caught them in between my fingers and did some handsigns, disappearing and reappearing behind him, throwing the kunei as I did, pinning him to a tree.
But, he had made a shadow clone and it disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Keeping my eyes open, I watched for him to reappear. I sensed him appear behind me. Channeling all my chakra into my hands- Its just like the gentle fist- I hit him in the stomach and blocked his chakra flow to his arms. He fell to the ground. I jumped over him, holding a kunei to his throat. "I win!" I smiled. "Now, you have to be my friend."
He just glared at me.
"DOn't look so down. I'm not that bad! But, I have to go. I have to meet some people. I'll talk to you later so we can do friend things!"
I raced off, calling for May as I did so. She showed up behind me with Naruto in toe. "He can't come with us, May," I told her. "This is important, and he was specific that it was just us."
May nodded.
