Chapter 5: The Forest of Confessions

Tsuki's POV
Where am I? Am I dead? No, I can hear voices and feel pain. How did I survive?

"When do you think she's gonna wake up dattebayo" I heard someone say. That must be Naruto, he's the only one with that catch phrase.

"I don't know, now stop asking" a girl like voice says. Now that's Sakura, I could recognize her piercing voice.

"Both of you shut up, you're annoying" a deep yet soft voice says. That must be Sasuke, he gets annoyed easily.

"But sensei already woke up, dattebayo. So what's taking her so long" Naruto argues.

Well, maybe it's because sensei didn't get strangled, and didn't get a deep wound on his stomach, ever think of that, hmph.

I try to open my eyes, but they feel like someone glued them shut. I pour all my energy into opening my eyes, I inwardly groan and fight the weight off my eyelids and force them open.

"Finally" I mutter low enough that no one hears as I see the light and all the colors, but it's all bleary. Where's my glasses?

I try to sit up quietly, but I end up groaning. All the heated conversations end as I groan. The next thing I see is a blob of orange, actually all I see is blobs.

"You're awake, dattebayo!!!" Naruto shouts as he hugs me tightly.

"Owww, Naruto as much as I like the hug, your hurting me" I inform the blonde knucklehead.

"Oh sorry, hehe" he apologizes.

"Hey, um...have you uh seen my  glasses" I say as I feel heat rise to my cheeks in embarrassment.

"Yeah, but they broke so they're useless" a blob of pink says. Great, I'm going to be blind until I get back to Konoha.

"Yeah you are" she replies. Damn, I said that out loud.

"Don't you have a spare" a blob of blue says.

"No, my family never cared about me to buy me glasses, those were my only pair" I inform them.

"Wait, but isn't Sakura-chan your sister" the orange blob says.

"Yeah, she is" I say as I look down at my bleary hands.

"Hn" Sasuke grunts.

"Oh" Naruto responds.

"Well how is sensei doing" I ask breaking the tension.

"He's fine" Kakashi answers making me jump. When did he get here.

"I've always been here, so how are you doing Tsuki" He says. Damn it, I need to stop thinking out loud.

"Well, I'm blind and my stomach hurts, so I'm fine" I smile as I sarcastically respond.

"About that, that was dangerous, what were you thinking, confronting a rogue ninja who's at jounin level, plus you were angering him so that made him even more dangerous, that was a stupid plan" Kakashi scolds me, surprising the others in the room.

"I'm sorry, I was just buying time for Naruto and Sasuke, I didn't mean to be nuisance, it was stupid and it only caused me to get hurt" I say forcing the tears not to fall.

"You weren't a nuisance, I was just worried that you wouldn't make it, next time think instead of rushing in, now stop crying" he says ruffling my short pink hair.

Is this how it feels to be cared about? Why do I feel so warm and why does it feel like I'm safe?

I wipe my tears and smile at the green blob of my sensei.

$!#& Le Time Skip &#!$

I'm holding on to the collar of Naruto's sweater as we walk through the forest since I can't see a thing. Well I can see, but not all the details and stuff like that. Like if I see a tree I could see the shape, the color, and the distance, but I can't see the type or design on the bark, I can't see the leaves or it's design.

Anyways we're walking in the forest because Kakashi said he'd train us, so we can become stronger and defeat the still alive Zabuza and his masked partner Who helped him escape.

"So why did we come here" asks Sakura.

"Well you guys are going to learn chakra control" Kakashi replies.

"But we already know about...um..catra!!!" Naruto exclaims. Idiot, you said it wrong.

"It's chakra, now Sakura if you will" Sensei corrects.

"Okay, Naruto I'll try my best to simplify it for you. Chakra is the basi-" I tune her out since I already know this.

No!!!! If I can't see how am I supposed to read my books!!! I'm going to be extremely bored on this mission. Nothing to do, but talk to myself and train somewhat. I'm literally going to die, not from a sword, or a kunai, or poison, or any wound, I'm going to die from boredom. Well, I always have my imagination to play with.

I get cut off from my mental rant as a kunai pierces the floor in front of me. Not expecting the kunai, I fall to the ground on my butt.

"What happened" I ask No one particular.

"Tsuki were you even paying attention" Kakashi asks.

"Uh....ha....no" I say but it comes out like a question.

"You're suppose to climb a tree using chakra, don't you ever pay attention" Sakura scolds.

"Yes I do, but I just don't like hearing you talk, plus I already knew about chakra" I say, feeling the ground for the kunai.

"Why you-"

"Whatever" I cut her off again.

I grab the kunai and walk towards a tree. I feel the width and see if it's wide enough so I can climb without falling to the side. 

I back out and stand in front of the tree and do the hand sign to concentrate on my chakra. Once I feel it rise, I run to my tree and climb. I climb a few steps before I fall on my back.

"Owww" Naruto and I groan in pain.

Why the hell did I fall back, I had the right amount of chakra on the soles of my feet. Maybe if I add more.

"Hey this is fun" I hear my sisters obnoxious voice above me.

How the hell is she better than me, I spend hours training while she stuffs her face with food.

"Out of you four, It seems Sakura has the best chakra control. I thought someone wanted to be Hokage, I guess Sakura has a better chance of becoming the Hokage. I guess the Uchiha clan isn't all that strong if they can't climb a tree. And maybe Sakura is the better twin, if the other can't do a simple task" Kakashi taunted us. He did not just go there, I'll show him.

I glance at the orang and blue blobs and glare at them. They're not going to beat me. I grab the kunai and run at the tree with chakra flowing through my feet. I make it a few feet higher than last time and fall back down. I bite my lip in frustration and try to calm myself. Remember if I let emotion cloud my judgements it will effect my chakra. I bit my lip to calm myself and let my mind go blank.

I spend hours going up the tree and falling right back down, making little progress each time I climb. I'm in par with Sasuke and Naruto I'd catching up by the second. Sasuke gives too much chakra, Naruto gives too little chakra, and I, I'm just unbalanced, I give too much and too little, I can't find the perfect amount.

Sweat rolls down my temple as I sit on my knees panting as I'm out of breath. Sakura left a while ago to go guard Tazuna, I finally learned his name.

"Hey you guys want to go back for today" I ask the two guys who are in same position as me.

"Hn"

"Sure, dattebayo"

"Fine let's go" I tell them.

"Hey Tsuki" Naruto asks.

"Yeah, what is it" I reply to the blonde.

"Why don't you and Sakura get along" the orange clad ninja asks.

"Oh. Um. Well, Sakura started to hate me when our parents started to ignore me and stop loving me. I don't know why they they did that, I guess I was already 'mature' and I could live on my own. And one day Sakura started to tease, bully, and laugh at me because I wasn't loved and I didn't have friends. And my parents some what joined her in abusing me verbally and mentally, saying that I'll never be loved, that I'm such a nuisance, that I'll always be alone and no one will care if I died. I tried so hard trying to get on Sakura's good side for years, but these past months I started to give up because she never showed any sign that she cares. So now I don't know if I still love her or not. I don't know what to do anymore, my family doesn't like me and I don't know their reason to dislike me. I just don't know any more" I explain to him while trying not cry.

I get startled when I feel two arms wrap around me. Naruto.

"I didn't know you suffered as much as me" he says muffled through my shoulder.

"What" I say. He suffers, he's like me. Loneliness and hate by those around you. How come I never noticed?

"I was always alone, nobody showed affection, they always treated me like I had some disease. Even though you had family, you still suffered from loneliness and abuse, no one cared for you. But that stops today, I'll always care for you, I'll be your friend so you'll no longer have to be alone. So, do you want to be my friend, dattebayo" he says and asks hopefully.

A friend. My first friend. Never alone.

I crash into him, crushing him in a hug as tears run down my cheeks.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'd love to be your friend, only if you become my friend as well" I cry in happiness.

"Of course, Dattebayo!!!" he grins.

I turn around and see Sasuke standing to the side. I grin and run up to him. I latch to his side.

"Also you Sasuke, I'll become your friend if you become mine" I ask full of hope.

"Hn" he grunts.

"Is that a yes" I ask unable to decrypt his language.

"Hn, fine" he agrees.

"YOSH, I made two friends!!!" I exclaim as I wave my hands in the air, looking like an insane person who escaped a mental facility.

"Hey Teme!!! She was my friend first, so don't steal her away from me" Naruto shouts.

"Whatever, dobe" Sasuke says.

"Argh Sasuke!!!!" Naruto shouts.

"Loser" Sasuke mutters.

"Emo" I say.

"Fishcake" I say to Naruto. They both turn to me in surprise.

"Freak" Sasuke replies.

"Pinky" Naruto replies.

"Hey that's not fair, it's two against one" I shout.

Naruto grins as Sasuke smirks. I stand there and turn before they come up with some plan.

"Hey lets go before it gets late" I suggest.

We walk to Tazuna's house and see that everyone's eating their food. Everyone looks at us, instantly I look at my feet, I don't like attention. I walk to an empty seat and Tsunami brings me a plate along with Sasuke and Naruto.

Naruto, Sasuke and I eat like there's no tomorrow, I seriously feel like I haven't eaten in days and this food is all I have. I wolf down the food along with the boys, after I finish I raise my bowl and shout.

"I want some more!!!" all three of shout in synch.

As we finish our statement we glare at each other. As our glares intensify lightning shoots in between the three of our foreheads. Our glare ended when we hunched over and threw up, man this is so gross.

"Stop eating if you're just going to throw up" Sakura scolds.

"I have to eat more than Naruto/Sasuke/ Tsuki" we exclaim at the same time.

We glare again and the same thing happens.

"She's right if you keep throwing up you won't get strong" Kakashi explains.

I suddenly feel drowsy, I ignore the obvious question Sakura asks and the tension she creates. I lie my head on the table and ignore the conversation, I hear bits about how Inari lost his father figure and how Gato was the cause of all the problems in this country.

The next thing I know is that Naruto is talking about not being a cry baby and how he'll prove to be a hero. My eyelids feel like they weigh a ton. I feel someone pick up my body as I drift off to sleep.

"Goodnight Tsuki"

"Night Sasuke" I mutter under my breath as I go unconscious.
