+Naruko+

"What are you two doing? We are about to go.." sakura walked up to sais picture and scowled. "Hmph! That picture is nothing special!" she abbounced, and sai fake-smiled at her before replying "That is right.. like your B00bs!" sai says, and i can see sakura struggling to not punch him. I fold up the picure i drew and put it away. "Do you want to fight? Do you dislike me enough? I'll butcher you!" sakura asked angrily.

"Oh, no. I do not. I do not feel anything of you." sai states calmly. He then starts to pick up his belongings, and i help  him. "Did you draw this?" i ask, passing him a book with a pretty hand-drawn cover. "A picture book perhaps? Could i see it on the way?" i ask.

"I cannot let you. It is incomplete. I do not show others. It is my brothers." i blink at him. Sounds like theres a story to be told here....

(Timeskip)

"Do you know what the word 'companian' means?" iask angrily, and he just unravels a scroll. "i do." i glare at him. "Do not blame others for your lack of ability" he states, and i hit him. "I will NEVER consider you a compoanian, or  a member of this team!" i shout.

"What would Sasuke have done? Fought and looking after you? As a member of the team? The one that betrayed the village, and nearly killed you, you refer to him as a companian or freind?"

I pause and sigh.

"i do not. I do not consider sasuke as one i would put my faith in, but.. i can't let  somebody run into the darkness. I'll do anything to brighten that darknes.. even if that means cooperating with somebody like you!"

The wind blows and i close my eyes.

"Why would she do that for him? She said she does not.. or would not feel safe with him. So why?" "Naruko may not think of him as a freind, but she used to love him. You have felt love, right? I mean, you had a brother? Did you lovde him?"

"Naruko.. do you remember our talk? I have no emotions." he is adressing me now.

"You.. don';t feel any emotions.. what?" sakura  asks, confused.

"Just what i said"

"if you have a brother though... could you imagine him dead?" Sakura asks.

"Well, yes. Because he is already dead."

Sakuras expression was full of shock.

"When  my brother died.. i did not kno0w what expression i was supposed to have..." he stated honestly. Sakura's face twisted into a scowl.

"I know. Back when i was 6, i was alone. i didn't have sensei, and i had not met the ramen guy. Nobody loved me. So i thought- if they don't care about you, why care about them? I couldn't feel anything for almost a year until i was enlisted in the academy. I would just walk around, not knowing how i was supposed to rect when someone kicked me or yelled insults at me. WHen i entered the academy, i was around people. And now i'm this. The weak link and emotionally unstable one of the team.."

I glance at sai.

"Emotionless may be good for missions. You don't screw up as easily. However.... If you are emotionles... you will eventually die anyways.." I close my eyes.

There is an awkward pause.

"Look, sai. I told you if you bad mouth my sasuke, i would kill you. But i can't, because Naruko accepts you now. I won't hurt you.. as long as she accepts you.."

All was queit, and the wind blowed my hair to the side, all i could see was sasuke, walking further into the darkness..
