Episode: 170

Left: 50

(sry ^.^ btw the first part IS in naruto for once ya! i worked somethin in!)

I stood beside sasuke as we stood by orochimaru. I glared at the green haired man. Sasuke glared up at the guy too and showed his sharingan.

"Some things are meant to be unsaid." 

~~

I walked down the hallway, by sasuke....again. Damn this mission. He honestly is the last person i want to be with. After that....incident at the falls, only a few moments have been un-awkward. And those moments were complete chaos. Like when I taught Mr.Fluffykins to attack sasuke, Orochimaru was pretty pleased and let me keep him by the way! Or the time we played poker at 4:00 in the morning with the other ninja at the hideout.

We walked in an uncomfortable silence. My thoughts drifted towards my family.

Gaara....what was he doing now? Temari, maybe she was shopping off her worries. Kankuro. Training. When ever he was happy, upset, mad, sad, any emotion, he always found comfort and more joy in his puppets.

And sakura, one of my first friends. I havent talked to her since....since. I dont even know. Its been so long. She must be training. She has to be! After her love leaving her...she must want him back more than anything...her and...and-

Naruto...what are you doing now Naruto? Perhaps your on a mission, or planning to save sasuke. I miss him more than i should, more than I thought I would. I miss his attitude on life, his determination. I even miss his voice. I miss Naruto completely.

Why am I thinking so much of Naruto? Do I like him? No...no he's just a friend. Like sasuke. Speaking of him, we were still walking in that same awkward silence stepping in sync.

" Airi." Beeeaaavvveerrr dam what am i gonna do!? He's tlaking to me! Wait, play it cool, play it coooooolll. 

He let out a deep sigh and leaned up against the wall to his bedroom running a hand through his hair. He either noticed i got off track again as usual or somethings really stressing him out.

" Your acting...different. Ever since the waterfall, is it-" Lets just be blunt, im sick of pretending like it didnt happen.

" Eversince you kissed me, ya. I know i've been acting strange even to me." He crossed his arms and rolled off of the wall, opening his door and leaving it open, signalling for me to come in. I followed and shut the door behind me- the ninjas here are so nosy, they're always looking for something to be entertained by and my pain is one of their many ways of entertainment.

He layed down on the bed and crossed his arms over his eyes. I swiftly jumped on the bed in a criss-cross-apple sauce position at his feet. He peeked at me through his arms and gave out a barely audible chuckle. But to me it was like he was roaring with laughter. 

" What so funny?" He propped himself up on his elbows and smirked.

"I just have no idea how I created such a strong bond with you that I had to take you with me." I laughed and smiled.

"How can you not?! Im adorable!" 

"Sure you are. I just dont understand though. I know why I never created a strong bond with sakura, it was strong but, not strong like kakashi's or Naruto's."

"So you really were friends with Naruto?" He nodded letting himself fall back into a lying position again.

" Its weird."

"Im weird."

"I know." I growled and took off my shoe and threw it at his head. He flinched a small bit when it hit him.

"I was joking you jerk." He smirked.

"Oh really? Wouldnt know since you were telling the truth?" I rolled my eyes.

"That has to be the worst comeback ever." 

"Well you have two brothers." I was about to say and you have one, but stopped myself. I lowered my gaze, suddenly finding an interest in my hands. "He isnt my brother. He's-"

"A monster...i know the feeling." Gaara was one of my only true friends. And now he hates me because of this stupid mission. Because i had to leave. His words felt like a nails being hammered into my heart.

To any normal person it seemed like he was just upset, but i know he was furious. Its gaara.

We sat in a silence that neither of us noticed for a long time before it was broken by sasuke.

" Are you afraid of him?" He asked switching his position again to sit next to me and play with my hands. He was acting so different to me, like he had finally opened up. Infact...i think he has. I think he feels so...so...comfortable around me that he can let down his walls and forget about his bloodthirsty ambitions, if only for a moment.

" Im afraid that I've lost him." I finally replied. He nodded.

" I think its time we go to sleep." He suggested and reached for the light on the night stand. "Are you sleeping in here tonight?" I nodded and crawled under the covers, my back facing the wall. Sasuke did the same after turning the light off, but faced me instead.

It was like I could almost hear his thoughts ' Why have I let her become so close to me?' and i answered them simply.

" Because we're the same. The two of us are alike." I dozed off to sleep quickly after that and let Sasuke think in silence.

I wonder whats going on in Konoha...
