Chapter 20: Promise me
Atami POV
Me and my team are outside waiting for the second exam to start. As I look around I notice many teams, which means more competition. I take in my surroundings. A forest.... a huge dark forest with a huge fence surrounding it. How wonderful..
"This forest you see before you is called the 44th training ground...or better yet..the Forest of Death" Anko tells us. Forest of death?!
Anko then begins explaining the test and how we have to get an earth and heaven scroll to the tower with all our teammates. Each team would be given either a earth or heaven scroll. We have five days to reach the tower.
Naruto starts to mock Anko with a little dance and I couldn't help but giggle. Anko takes a kunai and throws it at Naruto cutting his cheek. I gasp when she came up behind him and licked his blood. That's just nasty and creepy.
"Its kids like you that get killed quickly" She whispers in his ear loud enough for everyone to hear. Then a girl came up behind Anko with her tongue extended with a kunai in it..My blood runs cold and I freeze...H-h-he's h-here?! I thought starting to regret taking theses exams.
"Sorry its just I got excited a little and you cut my hair." He 'apologizes' and handed Anko her kunai. Anko then let go of Naruto and went back to explaining the exams.
"What about food!" Choji shouts which led to a boring conversation I didn't bother listening to cause I have better things to worry about, Orochimaru being one. Now how am I going to pass if he's here. Why is he here anyway......'See you soon dear. Tell Sasuke he's next'...his words rung in my ears..He's after Sasuke!! I didn't realize I was still spaced out until Sasuke passed me a sheet of paper.
"What's this?" I whisper to him and he sighs.
"Do you ever pay attention?"
"Yeah..when its important" I say with a smile and he sweat drops.
"Its a contract in case we end up dead. It states that she won't be responsible for it" he replies casually.
"W-what do you mean end up dead?" I ask a bit shocked that we can actually die. I didn't realize Sasuke came up to me trying to get my attention until he placed a hand on my shoulder. He looks in my eyes and smirks at me.
"We'll be fine. You worry too much" he says which made me feel a little better and I couldn't help but smirk back at him. Then my smirk turns to a straight line and I tilt my head a little confused as to why a square box was following Naruto.
Sasuke saw my confused face and turns around to Naruto running around and the square box thing running after him. He rolls his eyes and mutters something I couldn't quite hear. I decide to ignore the situation and sign my paper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were all waiting by the gate patiently (well most of us) waiting for it to start. I grab Sasuke's arm and pull him aside for a second to talk to him.
"What do you want now?" He asks sighing. I don't look at him and just start shaking slightly not being able to contain it any longer..
Sasuke POV
Atami pulls me over to the side to ask me something or talk I presume. But I really didn't want to at the moment.
"What do you want now?" I ask sighing. I stare at her but she wasn't looking at me and she started shaking. I slightly panic and put my hands or her shoulders and she tenses.
"Atami..what's wrong" Again no response but I felt something wet falling on my arms. I lift her chin up to see she's crying and she has a look of fear in her eyes. Not just any fear but fear like the day in the forest after the bell test... She's terrified.
"Atami..your crying.. Please tell me what's wrong.. your-" before I finish, she had huged me and starts crying into my chest quietly. Something must of scared her really bad. I just wrap my arms around her and try telling her everything is alright.
"S-sasuke?..." she sobs a little.
"Hn"
"P-promise..m-me s-somet-thing" I'm surprised by her request but don't think nothing of it.
"Hn"
"No!" I jump surprised by her outburst. She finally looks up at me with a pleading look.
"Y-you have to p-promise...say y-you promise" I just stare at my sister like she was crazy but agree none the less.
"Yes..I promise. Now what is it I'm promising?" She hugs me tighter and sigh.
"N-no matter what happens, p-promise m-me that you will keep going, f-find forgiveness, and n-never forget I will a-always be by y-your side. P-promise me t-to never let the t-tears of the p-past stop you from seeing t-the beauty of today and the h-hope of the future." To say I was confused by her words was an understatement. I'm shocked, confused, and surprised altogether.
"Atami?...w-what do you mean?" She doesnt answer me again. She pulls back from the hug, wipes her tears and smiles but I can tell it was forced.
"Atami I-" I got cut off by Naruto yelling at us to come back. They were about to open the gates. Atami.. *sigh*
Atami POV
I hope he could understand what I was telling him. If Orochimaru is here and he wants Sasuke...well its not gonna be so good. Please Sasuke, be okay. Listen to what I said..or try to understand it at least *sigh*
"Let the second exam began!!" Anko yells and the gates open. Me and my team walk through the gates.
"Sooo...what scroll do we have?" I ask not paying attention earlier.
"Heaven" Sasuke tells me.
"Why dont you ever pay attention?" Sakura asks with a little to much attitude for my liking. I was about to reply but I was interrupted by a scream.
"Was that human?" Sakura questions clutching to Sasuke and I roll my eyes.
"No Sakura it was a deer" I say sarcastically and Naruto laughs. Sometimes I think she's not as smart as everyone gives her credit for. I look over to Naruto to see him doing the pee dance??
"Naruto what are you doing?"
"I really have to pee" Next thing I know he's unzipping his pants, Sakura is hitting him over the head and my eyes are covered by a hand, which I'm guessing is Sasuke's. *sigh*
"Not in front of us girls Naruto!!" Sakura shouts
"Go in the bushes" She shouts again. I hear rustling so I'm assuming he left. Sasuke then let go of my eyes and I turn to him.
"Thank you" I say and he nods. The bushes rustle again and I quickly turned on my oddly colored sharingan.
"Wow that was a lot guys. I even wrote my name" 'Naruto' states. That's not Naruto. This person's chakra is different. Sasuke then threw a kunai at 'Naruto'.
"Where's Naruto?" he asks
"See I knew you cared about him" I say smiling at him.
"This is not the time Atami" Sasuke growls
"Fine" I mumble getting serious. I walk up to the imposter kunai in hand.
"Where is Naruto?" I growl.
"W-what are you guys talking about?" the imposter asks
"Atami? Sasuke that is Naruto" Sakura says confused.
"I knew you were stupid... If this was Naruto, then why is his kunai pouch on his left leg instead of his right? Naruto is right handed." I ask Sakura while glaring at the imposter.
"She's right. Plus, where is the scratch on his cheek from earlier?" Sasuke adds.
"Alright yall got me." the imposter utters transforming into a rain ninja. His chakra seems to be pretty average, nothing Sasuke can't handle. I look to Sasuke for confirmation that he should handle this ninja while I find Naruto and he nods. I jump off to find Naruto to discover he's tied to a tree.
"Atami!!" Naruto shouts excited to see me. I jump down to him and use a kunai to cut the ropes.
"Naruto I wonder how you get in these predicaments?" I tell him jumping backing to the others.
"Hey! Atami wait for me!" When I get back to my other teammates the rain ninja was gone.
"Where'd the rain ninja go?"
"He escaped"
"Oh"
Sasuke POV
Right after the rain ninja left Atami came back with Naruto and she looked pretty confused.
"Where's the rain ninja?" she asks
"He escaped" I tell her
"Oh" We need a password in case this happens again.
"We need a password in case someone tries to impersonate one of us again" I tell my team and they nod.
"Well it should have a question and an answer" Atami suggests.
"Okay any suggestions?"
"Uhm...Ooh!! How about why do purple, plushy pandas drink black juice? The answer would be because it reminds them of Sasuke. Dark and emo" Atami says smiling. Naruto starts busting out laughing with Atami. I start growling.
"Oh my that was hilarious!!" Atami says sighing and I just glare.
"How dare you say that about Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouts.
"Do you have a problem?" Atami asks
"Yes. Leave Sasuke alone"
"I thought we already established this"
"Well-" I cut Sakura off.
"Can we not do this. Back to our previous question-and no Atami we aren't using your suggestion" I growl at them.
"Fine, no need for your attitude"
"Atami" I growl and she completely ignores me.
"The question is when does a ninja strike? A ninja waits until the time is right. When the enemy sleeps and drops his guard. When his weapon is forgotten in the stillness of the night. That is when a ninja strikes" I say.
"Got it" Sakura squeals. I look at Naruto and Atami and they seemed to be confused as expected.
"Uh..Could you repeat that" Naruto asks and Atami nods in agreement.
"How could you two not get it. I already remember it" Sakura says. Gosh this is annoying.
"Lets see. Maybe thats because you remember everything Sasuke says cause your infatuated with him" Atami notes. *sigh*
"Do you have anything shorter? I thought it was a password not a pass-speech." Naruto retorts
"Exactly. More like a pass-lecure. Please repeat it ni-san"
"Nope" As soon as I say that a huge gust of wind blows.
"Ahhh!!"
"Atami!!"
"Sasuke!!"
"Guys!!" Everybody was blown away from each other....
