Frozen Eyes of Mine [Sasuke] 12

Blood. This red substance that can stain your hands a hideously yet, enticing ruby red. Splatters were scattered all over the walls. It seemed as if the room was painted red, but it wasn’t. The once bare white walls were covered with a human beings blood. But who’s? It took me several minutes to figure out where I was. I was at the one place in the world that I despised the most. My father’s hideout. There, I found the remains of my father on the floor.

When I was younger I just killed him and left. I never really considered what had happened to the body afterwards. But, I look and see his lifeless body sprawled on the floor, completely and utterly mangled. Had I really done such a horrific act? And worst, my own father. I couldn’t change anything, no I can’t change anything. It’s just the way I am. There is a secret within the AisuRyuungin. The side of me I cannot control. But that’s another story.

All of a sudden I saw a flash of movement outside the window nearest to me. It was human, I was 100% sure of that. Who? Who would be lurking around a place so secluded as this? Unless it was a person that knew where they were going and came here often enough.

I swiftly went to open the door but my hand just fazed through it. Maybe it’s because I am in a dream. I put such thoughts at the back of my mind and continued after the suspect at hand. I caught site of the person and it turned out to be a young boy. He would have been roughly my age at the time when I killed my father. Wait, did he witness my act of sinful pleasure? If so, what was his connection to this place?

So many questions swam through my head and my dream began to swirl. The white snow became every colour of the rainbow and then my mind came back to reality and I opened my eyes to my room and my ears were ringing with the sound of my alarm clock.

I headed off to the training grounds where we were supposed to meet Kakashi. I come up the hill and saw Naruto. He was standing on a branch and spotted me instantly, and then ran towards with his arm spread out. The next thing I knew I was flung to the ground with Naruto’s arms ravelled around me.

“Ugh Naruto, you’re kinda heavy.” I managed to squeak out.

“Ohh, sorry. I just felt bad that I didn’t say bye last night.” He said while getting off of me.

Naruto held out his hand and I gladly accepted it. As he hoisted me up I saw the image of Sasuke walking up the hill that I came up. He noticed me and Naruto and he quickly looked down. As I began to walk away I noticed that Naruto and I were still holding hands. I rapidly let go and blushed. Did Sasuke notice? I put that thought in the back of my head.

A good hour and half later Kakashi finally decided to show up. Again, he gave us a cheesy reason why he wasn’t there on time. Obviously I knew it was a lie. It also seemed that the rest of my team was catching on by now.

“Alright team, we are going to head to the Hogake’s office to get a new mission, let’s be on our way.” Kakashi said leading the way.

Sakura was behind him and Naruto was tailing her. Naruto was trying to making idle conversation but Sakura was paying next to no attention at all. As for Sasuke he was off to my right a bit. He hasn’t said a word to me since last night. I decided to break the silence.

“How are you Sasuke?” I asked.

“Fine, I guess.” He replied.

“Yay! A sentence with no ‘hn’! Congratulations!” I said.

Guess what he replied with. He looked at me, but in the corners of his mouth was a small smile and he said “hn”.

“Ohh ha-ha, very funny Uchiha.”

His smile faded when I said his last name.

“Why were you holding hands with Naruto earlier? This proves that you like him.” Sasuke suddenly brought up.

I was stunned for a moment. Was the great Sasuke Uchiha jealous? That’s what he really looks like at the moment. Was he jealous of Naruto? No way, he would ever be. Or maybe he has a different reason to be. I don’t know! I began mumbling, trying to find the right words to reply to him with.

“Uh, um, No, w-we.” I said and looked down so that my bangs would cover my face.

“Hey I was just kidding, I saw that Naruto was picking you up.” Sasuke said, his voice sounding a bit apologetic.

I looked up at him and smiled.

~Sasuke’s POV~

As Kamini flipped up her head she smiled at me. Although in the corner off her eyes was the slightest trace of tears. Had I made her cry? Was she really upset about me accusing her about being with Naruto? I guess she really doesn’t see him as anyone more than just a friend. I felt bad that I made her cry. Maybe ill try to be a bit nicer to her when talking about Naruto.

Before I knew it we were at the Hokage’s office. Kamini was still silent and she had an emotionless face. Naruto was all excited about getting a mission. Sakura on the other hand looked drained of energy. It was probably from dealing with him for the walk.

Kakashi knocked on the door and we heard on the other side beckoning us inside.

The Hokage said that we were going to go and babysit some kids but Naruto didn’t like that idea. For once I agree with him, babysitting someone’s kids isn’t really my cup of tea. After a couple minutes of persuasion Naruto finally got what he was arguing for. The Hokage decided to let us go on a C ranked mission. The Hokage asked for a man to enter the rom. He is the guy we have to bring back to the Land of the Waves. Right as he entered he looked at all of us, then he finally settled in eyes on Kamini and as he looked closer he eyes grew twice the size.

“Hello Tazuna” Kamini said.
