Chapter 7
***
Sitting by myself with only what had happened earlier on the forefront of my mind I wanted nothing more then to run my claws through flesh and bones. That Shikamaru… I had no idea what he was planning - if he was planning anything at all. Telling me to act as human as I could, it wasn't possible; I wasn't human but a monster. It was in my nature to kill just like it should have been in all of us or did he forget?
My anger was rising with every passing thought but I soon put out the flames when the image of killing off the 02 entered my mind. It made me a little bit worried… just imagining trying to fight someone as smart as him would only leave me in a bloody heap on the floor. I knew at that moment that that was the one and only reason Gaara and I listened to him with little questions asked even though we're stronger. Better built than the 02's in strength. He played his role perfectly, just what he was made for. He was so good at it even another 02 like Hinata listened to him without saying much. But then again her shy demeanor was what got her in that dark room…
The dark room reminded me of the whole place we had run away from… even Kiba. It made my annoyance spike that Shikamaru had forgotten about my friend. What annoyed me more was that h didn't want to tell me anything about the blonde female, Ino. Just who the fuck was she to him anyway?
I could feel my eyes stinging a bit and wondered if this was what Shikamaru had mention in the forest. Did my eyes really change colors? Is this what Hinata was talking about back when I was hurt? The idea of them changing red whenever I became pissed was pretty cool to me but it wasn't something a human's eyes could do. I was told to keep calm, learn to ignore other things besides what our group told me and try and seem like I was friendly. "Who knows, you might just come to find not all humans are bad."
Was he talking about that Ino female when he had told me that?
I was pulled from my thoughts as the scent of Uchiha Sasuke was starting to come closer to me. I let out an agitated sigh, trying to do as Shikamaru had said and return my eyes to blue (if they had really changed at all…).
"I knew we would run into each other…"
I rolled my eyes over to the fair skinned human lazily as he walked into the room mumbling under his breath about the area being so dark. My chin rested in the palm of my hand as I sat on the soft, large chair Hatake Kakashi called a "sofa". I smelt him coming before he himself even knew… "What gave it away?" I asked but didn't really care.
A slow grin played on his lips, annoying me for unknown reasons. Maybe it had something to do with this show he put on. He acted like he wanted nothing to do with Hatake Kakashi before… and he was aloof with his friends before earlier in the day, but it seems like he goes out of his way just to find me and get on my nerves. I really wanted to slowly pluck out one of his teeth at a time when he looked at me again and sat on the sofa next to me.
"You're wearing a pair of my jeans." Uchiha Sasuke told me nonchalantly picking up a rectangular device and pressing a button. When a screen flashed on and voices began speaking I immediately thought it was one of the monitors I would see my creator on sometimes back in the building we ran away from. I couldn't help but let a growl hum in the back of my throat until I noticed it was different. The humans on the screen were much different. They didn't look down on me as if I was nothing but the dust underneath their shoes. They didn't look at me as if saying "I hold all your lives in my hand"… I kind of liked that. I didn't have to be tense and on guard. I could look away. Those eyes weren't going to do anything to me.
I fingered a belt loop on the pants I wore, noticing his scent on them for the first time sense I had them on. It was dulled and masked by a soapy smell as well as my own now but it was there. I felt retarded for not smelling it before. But it wasn't only the pants. The male human beside me had a light scent hidden in the house as well; it was just buried under Hatake Kakashi's… as if he didn't spend much time here. I removed my chin my hand, my fingers from the loop, and stood from the comfortable sofa I had enjoyed by myself.
"I'll give them back to you tomorrow then." I threw over my shoulder, preferring not to look at him. This human…
"You can have them. It's fine. Not like I can't buy anymore." I could feel his eyes on me and in another second I wasn't too sure if he would be alive so I left the room, hoping to never run into him again even though I knew it was a wasted wish seeing as how we lived in the home for the time being…
Once I made it up the stairs to the bedroom I shared with Hinata, who was still awake, I closed the door, pressing my back to it to try and calm my nerves. Hinata jumped to my side, asking me in her stuttering voice what had happened and if everything was alright. I didn't respond to her, choosing to find comfort in the way her hand ran through my hair shyly. Something was wrong with me… it wasn't anger I was feeling toward the human downstairs… not all of it anyway. I wanted to call it excitement, almost like when my mind raced when I hunted down that female deer – but different. That wasn't all though, for an unknown reason I felt … I don't know how to phase it but I any other time I would have been disgusted to have found out I had on the clothes of a human… but now. I don't know, I'm confused…
***
The sun was just starting to rise, giving the room a faint amount of light. A cool breeze made it possible for Hinata and me to burrow under the sheets. I was comfortable here, with her body warmth and the way her body rose and fell with her breathing. My face tucked into her shoulder blades and arms wrapped around her as the relaxing scent of the forest made its way through the town and into our bedroom. I was at peace I realized. I couldn't remember ever feeling like this a day before in my life.
I could hear a bit of movement downstairs, by the footsteps and scent I knew it was Hatake Kakashi. He was up early and there seemed to be someone else down there with him… Curiosity had me walking out the bedroom door leaving a sleeping Hinata behind.
Making sure my steps were silent I stood at the foot of the stairs, catching a familiar female and male's scent. I knew these humans; the female was that large breasted blonde from the hospital, Tsunade, and the male… I couldn't really remember him too much but I know it was when I first got into the town. I remember white hair, that's it.
"…Just keep an eye on all of them. I don't trust them at all." The humans were talking about us, I was sure of it. I had news for them, we didn't trust them either – at least I didn't. "Especially that Naruto… he looks too much like-"
"I know." Hatake Kakashi began speaking, cutting off the female and making me a little annoyed but to be honest they were all getting on my nerves.
This secret meeting under the same roof as us and so early in the morning; did they really think that we wouldn't hear? Or was it that they wanted us too? Maybe the three of them didn't trust us so much that they wanted us to know. Like some kind of bluff to show off their fake strength should we try anything funny. Well, even their god knew they would be no match for us. All humans could be compared to twigs and be snapped just as easily.
A grin tugged at the corners of my lips. I really needed to kill something soon… maybe I could go back into the forest later today and hunt a rabbit or something sense I was forbidden to hurt another human. That bastard, Shikamaru, what a kill-joy.
"What are you doing?"
I turned my head so fast I heard it crack (but I think it needed that). Uchiha Sasuke was standing behind me in nothing but white, soft looking pants. He's hair was ruffled, like he had just woke up but I knew I was one to talk. I was still in the jeans from yesterday and shirtless and hadn't combed my hair either. It wasn't his appearance anyway that mattered; I was just surprised he snuck up on me.
I wasn't too sure how to answer his question. No doubt he didn't trust us either but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to know this or not. This was a time when the 02 brunette was actually needed and of course he was no where in sight, most likely still in his got damn bed completely ignorant to what was going on downstairs. I tried to think this through, what would Shikamaru want me say… I just played it dumb again.
"I was going to get something to drink but I think Hatake Kakashi is talking to someone so I'll wait."
The fair skinned human in front of me glared down the stair case and muttered under his breath, "That fucking nosey old man." He walked away from me toward the bathroom and closed the door loudly, I guess for the humans on the lower level.
Whoever the "nosey old man" was obviously wasn't someone Uchiha Sasuke cared for, but I was starting to believe the male didn't care for much of anyone. It was odd that we were alike in that fashion.
That I didn't care for.
I didn't want to be similar in personality or face with any human. Which brought me back to what that Tsunade female had said, who was it she thought I looked too much like?
I heard the water go on the bathroom and thought it best to return to my room before Uchiha Sasuke saw me at the stairs again. I couldn't give the same lie twice. My hand was on the knob when he came out; his eyes darker then they had been before. I wondered if his eyes changed color out of anger as well, maybe Shikamaru was wrong.
No, I noticed, before he was just waking up and his eyes were still tired. Now he was pissed for some unknown reason and I didn't really care enough to find out why. Even if it seemed to be pointed at me.
***
As much as I loved the soft chairs and beds in Hatake Kakashi's home nothing could beat the fresh smell of the forest. The way the soil moved with each step I took and the enticing way the animals fled from me like I was more wild then them, it was pure heaven. I couldn't harm the deer though, I remember Hatake Kakashi had asked for us to leave them be as they were vital to the town's life… or something along those lines. Their antlers or whatever was used for medicine and some crap. I wasn't really paying much attention, too busy looking away from Shikamaru's eyes that told me to do as I was told.
And to much sure I did, I suppose, Gaara was told to tag along with Hinata and I.
The red head didn't seem too pleased to have to baby-sit me but I didn't really care, I was having too much fun tormenting rabbits. The light colored ones were too obvious; I liked to chase the dark colored ones. The rabbits with brown or black fur that thought they had hidden themselves well until I snuck up on them and scared them shitless. I let out a small laugh as the four legged fur balls dashed across a clearing and under a bundle of bushes.
"Naruto, don't tease the wildlife…" I let out a small sigh; I couldn't do anything with Hinata around. She was so "pro-life" it was starting to get on my nerves… But then I remembered how quickly I would forget that small fact later when we were asleep and the next morning I would probably wake up with my face in her shoulder blades again. I was such a bastard. Finding shelter in her presence one minute and wishing she was gone the next. Even so the situation didn't make me grin any less. Besides, Hinata knew who I was by now just as I knew she was a mumbling female that often stuttered and turned red with embarrassment at the oddest times, loved all living things just as much as her tear glands like to over flow and this was only the beginning.
Actually she was the only one I knew so much about… I was in shadows when it came to Gaara. He seemed to know a little bit more about the human world than me, perhaps he had been on a mission or two back when we were still in our creator's hands. He didn't seem to mind killing things. If anything maybe it was an 01 thing. That's what we were made for. But also he seemed to have a dark side, something to hide – although it had nothing to do with the fact that we didn't really get along. The last thing I knew for sure was he wasn't much of a talker, he seemed content just watching, but who knew what was really going on his head.
I wasn't too sure where Shikamaru stood either. If I had to guess I would say he didn't like to kill something unless it was absolutely necessary. Maybe that's why he wanted to blend in with the humans so much. His smart brain was in overdrive trying to remembering all the things we were learning about. Maybe. Or maybe it had something to do with that flower scented Ino…
"… Do you guys know a female human named Ino?"
Hinata looked up from the flowers she had been picking; her pale eyes seemed to be hiding anger behind them. She stood quickly, tossing the flowers to the ground as she walked away from Gaara and me.
"She's no one…"
It had been the first time I had seen Hinata like this. So she could get angry, and she was upset with a human – or was it Shikamaru that had her in a bitter mood? I looked to the red head but he didn't seem to be paying attention, like always. I wanted to push her, see how far she would go until her kindhearted personality won because I doubted she changed for good.
"Well, I thought she was someone important seeing how Shikamaru knew her enough to relax around her."
"Naruto," Hinata had turned to face me again, her eyes misty and her arms wrapped around herself as if she needed to literally hold herself together. "Please, don't mention her."
I realized now that the 02 who always was there whenever I needed her was the one who needed comforting. I didn't hesitate but at the same time I didn't run to her side. I merely walked up to her and pulled her tear stained face into my chest like when we had been in the forest clearing when we first met Uchiha Sasuke. It seemed to give her comfort for a brief moment before embarrassment won over that.
"There are wolves over in that direction." It seemed like forever since I had last heard Gaara voice… I didn't really miss it. But wolves? I couldn't stop my curiosity for soaring. What did they look like, had I ever seen them before and just didn't know, were they as big as the deer had been? Excitement had me pulling Hinata with me as I looked in the area the red head had pointed in.
"Never saw them either?" he was making fun of me again and as much as I wanted to pull out both of his eyes and crush them in the dirt I couldn't help but stare at the beautiful doglike animals in front of me. Most of the pack seemed pretty medium sized, maybe coming a little bit over my hip with the top of their head. Strength could be seen in their build and old scents of blood told me they were hunters. They ranged in different shades of gray, some more or fully white to black. Their eyes were wonderful, liquid gold.
"Look, that one's pregnant." I heard Hinata whisper in awe. She so excited I could imagine her jumping and clapping her hands if we hadn't been trying to stay hidden. I wanted to see them in their natural state. But that didn't last for long.
Gaara had made his way into their fold, walking in as if he owned the place and the wolves just lowered their ears and gave him all the room he needed but didn't leave- almost like he was their leader.
"They're not going to do anything, they know we could kill them in a heartbeat." The only black one came up to me as Hinata and I went in closer. I could see it in his gorgeous eyes, Gaara was right. They were unsure but still treated us like family, like they did with the black one because he was truly the leader of the four legged animals. Almost like us with Shikamaru…
I took in his woodsy scent, smelling all the grass he laid in and all the trees he had rubbed on. The smells of the other wolves were on him too, but the one I felt the most was the gray female that was carrying pups. They were his offspring she carried in her belly proudly as Hinata greeted her shyly. Her amber eyes held stories I would never be able to understand; pride, grace, modesty, and trust were only a few of the emotions she let us see.
"She's still kind of in the beginning of her pregnancy." Hinata – who had sat on her knees to be face to face with the female – said as she ran her gentle fingers through the soft fur. I hadn't seen the 02 feel on the gray wolf's stomach at all and was at a lost for how Hinata could just tell but thought as she was a female she must know. It wasn't like I really cared about all that anyway. I just wanted to see the pups.
"She said they'll call us when its time… the pups won't be that long."
"What?" Gaara and I looked over to Hinata in confusion. I was pretty sure no one had talked. I let a small laugh escape me as I joked, "Are you hearing things?"
Hinata looked at me with a small smile, "No, it was her. I'm sure of it."
***
It was late, dark, and cool… and like the night before I chose to stay in the living room by myself while everyone else slept. Well, almost everyone. Uchiha Sasuke had never returned after leaving so early this morning. I shook my head for the third time, telling myself I didn't care as I turn the channel on the screen before me. I took in the noise and voices I heard, not paying any attention to the characters or the plot. It was just noise to keep my sharp ears busy so I wouldn't have to only hear everyone sleeping upstairs.
My eyes ignored the flashing lights from the screen and stared at some random corner of the room as my mind drifted. I couldn't get the wolves from earlier out of my head either and how much we seemed to be alike. Not to mention Hinata talking to them. What did it mean…?
I scratched the back of my head, arched my back until I heard it crack wonderfully and was about to turn off the screen to go to bed until a scent entered my nose. What upset me more was the way excitement had my heart beat a little faster. I wasn't sure if it was because I wanted something to happen or not but in the end I waited.
Uchiha Sasuke opened the front door but didn't enter right away. He stood their where I could see him without knowing; a bag and jacket in one hand, a handful of pink hair in the other. He and whomever he was with were close – face to face, mouth against mouth. I could feel my lips tugging downward for reasons I was unsure of. I wondered who the damn female human was I had never seen before but had smelled on the fair skinned male slightly. I never thought much about it because her scent was nothing amazing…
After what seemed like forever they finally pulled apart, a faint blush decorating the female's cheeks and a glazed look in her eyes like she wanted something else.
"Go home, Sakura." I heard him mumble.
"Why can't I come in, huh? What is it you don't want me to see?" she pouted as her hands tugged on his white shirt, freeing them from his pants. Before she could remove them all he pushed her hands away. She let out an angry whine and stomped her foot. "Is it those strange new people Kakashi let stay here, is that why you haven't been seeing me? I heard a girl was in the group… tell the truth, do you think she's cuter than me?"
"Go home." He repeated, closing the door in her face. He might not have been able to hear but the female he called Sakura was still fuming outside, angry she wasn't able to get inside.
The raven haired human flicked the locks and turned around only to stop dead in his tracks when he saw me. We watched each other for a moment or two as we both just stood there like two idiots. I finally opened my mouth in confusion.
"What the hell was that?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Uchiha Sasuke walked further into the room and after throwing the items in his hand to the floor, sat on the sofa behind me. It was clear by his movements alone he was exhausted. When he didn't answer me and chose to close his eyes I thought he was going to fall asleep right here. I felt like I was being ignored.
"Stupid ass," I muttered, about to walk away. Suddenly his hand was around my wrist; his pathetic attempt at stopping me from moving any further. Little did he know I could drag him any which way I choose, however whatever had my heart beating faster told me to wait.
"She's a girl from my class," he started, removing his hand from me. "Always trying to get in my pants, you know?" I turned white in disgust, what the fuck was wrong with humans? He said that like it was normal. I ran my hand through my hair as I sat heavily on the sofa an arm's length from him, shaking my head.
"That sounds gross."
"…It was fine in the beginning but now she's getting on my nerves always following me…" He turned to look at me, expecting me to agree but all I could wonder was why any human would want to do such I thing…
"Forgot it I don't even know why I'm telling you this anyway." I was the one that stopped him this time.
"Wait, why?" I truly wanted to know.
"Why what?" He suddenly sounded annoyed, his eyes looking at me as if I was brainless – kind of pissed me off a bit.
"Why would anyone want to get into your pants? What was that at the door?" I hissed out. These damn human's were so slow!
Something clicked in his head as realization became clear in his dark eyes. "You're a complete virgin…" he stated.
My eyes continued to stare at him as I seriously thought about breaking every bone in his face. "What are you talking-"
"Do you want me to show you?" He's eyes got darker, confidence seemed to go through the roof, and something in his scent changed that almost made me curious. But I was cautious. He was moving closer to me in a way that resembled my actions earlier with the rabbits. Like I was prey that had fallen right into a trap he had set from the very beginning.
"What are you going to do?"
His eyes flicked from my lips to my eyes, "What do you think?"
The closer he got the more I smelt that Sakura human and that upset me on levels I didn't care for. "What you did with that female at the door…"
He didn't answer me, only mumbled for me to close my eyes before he pressed his lips against mine. I didn't do as he said though, and I saw that even he kept his eyes open as he moved my mouth with his until I opened my jaw. I fought the urge to bite off his invading tongue, that wouldn't be very human of me if I did, and after a couple of minutes I realized I wasn't fighting at all…
One of his hands had found their way into my hair just as one of mine held his shoulder – to push him away, I told myself. My eyes had managed to close on their own somehow and my ears were taking in every noise our mouth's made. The labored breathes from my nose excited me more and as he pulled me closer to his body I felt all the heat rush to my head. I was losing it, I had to gain control over myself again.
Then he pulled away, incredibly slow – even our lips didn't want to be separated I saw as clung together for a second longer.
My face was red, I could feel the heat remaining in my face as I continued to watch him stupidly and our breaths mixed in the small space between us. It was the first time a human took control like that and I actually enjoyed it. I wondered if my eyes were clouded over like the female's had been before; what was it I wanted more of from this retarded male that made me feel new things? What was I waiting for?
It surely wasn't for him to grin and walk away, "That was a kiss."

The fair skinned human in front of me glared down the stair case and muttered under his breath, "That fucking nosey old man." He walked away from me toward the bathroom and closed the door loudly, I guess for the humans on the lower level.
Whoever the "nosey old man" was obviously wasn't someone Uchiha Sasuke cared for, but I was starting to believe the male didn't care for much of anyone. It was odd that we were alike in that fashion.
That I didn't care for.
I didn't want to be similar in personality or face with any human. Which brought me back to what that Tsunade female had said, who was it she thought I looked too much like?
I heard the water go on the bathroom and thought it best to return to my room before Uchiha Sasuke saw me at the stairs again. I couldn't give the same lie twice. My hand was on the knob when he came out; his eyes darker then they had been before. I wondered if his eyes changed color out of anger as well, maybe Shikamaru was wrong.
No, I noticed, before he was just waking up and his eyes were still tired. Now he was pissed for some unknown reason and I didn't really care enough to find out why. Even if it seemed to be pointed at me.

As much as I loved the soft chairs and beds in Hatake Kakashi's home nothing could beat the fresh smell of the forest. The way the soil moved with each step I took and the enticing way the animals fled from me like I was more wild then them, it was pure heaven. I couldn't harm the deer though, I remember Hatake Kakashi had asked for us to leave them be as they were vital to the town's life… or something along those lines. Their antlers or whatever was used for medicine and some crap. I wasn't really paying much attention, too busy looking away from Shikamaru's eyes that told me to do as I was told.
And to much sure I did, I suppose, Gaara was told to tag along with Hinata and I.
The red head didn't seem too pleased to have to baby-sit me but I didn't really care, I was having too much fun tormenting rabbits. The light colored ones were too obvious; I liked to chase the dark colored ones. The rabbits with brown or black fur that thought they had hidden themselves well until I snuck up on them and scared them shitless. I let out a small laugh as the four legged fur balls dashed across a clearing and under a bundle of bushes.
"Naruto, don't tease the wildlife…" I let out a small sigh; I couldn't do anything with Hinata around. She was so "pro-life" it was starting to get on my nerves… But then I remembered how quickly I would forget that small fact later when we were asleep and the next morning I would probably wake up with my face in her shoulder blades again. I was such a bastard. Finding shelter in her presence one minute and wishing she was gone the next. Even so the situation didn't make me grin any less. Besides, Hinata knew who I was by now just as I knew she was a mumbling female that often stuttered and turned red with embarrassment at the oddest times, loved all living things just as much as her tear glands like to over flow and this was only the beginning.
Actually she was the only one I knew so much about… I was in shadows when it came to Gaara. He seemed to know a little bit more about the human world than me, perhaps he had been on a mission or two back when we were still in our creator's hands. He didn't seem to mind killing things. If anything maybe it was an 01 thing. That's what we were made for. But also he seemed to have a dark side, something to hide – although it had nothing to do with the fact that we didn't really get along. The last thing I knew for sure was he wasn't much of a talker, he seemed content just watching, but who knew what was really going on his head.
I wasn't too sure where Shikamaru stood either. If I had to guess I would say he didn't like to kill something unless it was absolutely necessary. Maybe that's why he wanted to blend in with the humans so much. His smart brain was in overdrive trying to remembering all the things we were learning about. Maybe. Or maybe it had something to do with that flower scented Ino…
"… Do you guys know a female human named Ino?"
Hinata looked up from the flowers she had been picking; her pale eyes seemed to be hiding anger behind them. She stood quickly, tossing the flowers to the ground as she walked away from Gaara and me.
"She's no one…"
It had been the first time I had seen Hinata like this. So she could get angry, and she was upset with a human – or was it Shikamaru that had her in a bitter mood? I looked to the red head but he didn't seem to be paying attention, like always. I wanted to push her, see how far she would go until her kindhearted personality won because I doubted she changed for good.
"Well, I thought she was someone important seeing how Shikamaru knew her enough to relax around her."
"Naruto," Hinata had turned to face me again, her eyes misty and her arms wrapped around herself as if she needed to literally hold herself together. "Please, don't mention her."
I realized now that the 02 who always was there whenever I needed her was the one who needed comforting. I didn't hesitate but at the same time I didn't run to her side. I merely walked up to her and pulled her tear stained face into my chest like when we had been in the forest clearing when we first met Uchiha Sasuke. It seemed to give her comfort for a brief moment before embarrassment won over that.
"There are wolves over in that direction." It seemed like forever since I had last heard Gaara voice… I didn't really miss it. But wolves? I couldn't stop my curiosity for soaring. What did they look like, had I ever seen them before and just didn't know, were they as big as the deer had been? Excitement had me pulling Hinata with me as I looked in the area the red head had pointed in.
"Never saw them either?" he was making fun of me again and as much as I wanted to pull out both of his eyes and crush them in the dirt I couldn't help but stare at the beautiful doglike animals in front of me. Most of the pack seemed pretty medium sized, maybe coming a little bit over my hip with the top of their head. Strength could be seen in their build and old scents of blood told me they were hunters. They ranged in different shades of gray, some more or fully white to black. Their eyes were wonderful, liquid gold.
"Look, that one's pregnant." I heard Hinata whisper in awe. She so excited I could imagine her jumping and clapping her hands if we hadn't been trying to stay hidden. I wanted to see them in their natural state. But that didn't last for long.
Gaara had made his way into their fold, walking in as if he owned the place and the wolves just lowered their ears and gave him all the room he needed but didn't leave- almost like he was their leader.
"They're not going to do anything, they know we could kill them in a heartbeat." The only black one came up to me as Hinata and I went in closer. I could see it in his gorgeous eyes, Gaara was right. They were unsure but still treated us like family, like they did with the black one because he was truly the leader of the four legged animals. Almost like us with Shikamaru…
I took in his woodsy scent, smelling all the grass he laid in and all the trees he had rubbed on. The smells of the other wolves were on him too, but the one I felt the most was the gray female that was carrying pups. They were his offspring she carried in her belly proudly as Hinata greeted her shyly. Her amber eyes held stories I would never be able to understand; pride, grace, modesty, and trust were only a few of the emotions she let us see.
"She's still kind of in the beginning of her pregnancy." Hinata – who had sat on her knees to be face to face with the female – said as she ran her gentle fingers through the soft fur. I hadn't seen the 02 feel on the gray wolf's stomach at all and was at a lost for how Hinata could just tell but thought as she was a female she must know. It wasn't like I really cared about all that anyway. I just wanted to see the pups.
"She said they'll call us when its time… the pups won't be that long."
"What?" Gaara and I looked over to Hinata in confusion. I was pretty sure no one had talked. I let a small laugh escape me as I joked, "Are you hearing things?"
Hinata looked at me with a small smile, "No, it was her. I'm sure of it."

It was late, dark, and cool… and like the night before I chose to stay in the living room by myself while everyone else slept. Well, almost everyone. Uchiha Sasuke had never returned after leaving so early this morning. I shook my head for the third time, telling myself I didn't care as I turn the channel on the screen before me. I took in the noise and voices I heard, not paying any attention to the characters or the plot. It was just noise to keep my sharp ears busy so I wouldn't have to only hear everyone sleeping upstairs.
My eyes ignored the flashing lights from the screen and stared at some random corner of the room as my mind drifted. I couldn't get the wolves from earlier out of my head either and how much we seemed to be alike. Not to mention Hinata talking to them. What did it mean…?
I scratched the back of my head, arched my back until I heard it crack wonderfully and was about to turn off the screen to go to bed until a scent entered my nose. What upset me more was the way excitement had my heart beat a little faster. I wasn't sure if it was because I wanted something to happen or not but in the end I waited.
Uchiha Sasuke opened the front door but didn't enter right away. He stood their where I could see him without knowing; a bag and jacket in one hand, a handful of pink hair in the other. He and whomever he was with were close – face to face, mouth against mouth. I could feel my lips tugging downward for reasons I was unsure of. I wondered who the damn female human was I had never seen before but had smelled on the fair skinned male slightly. I never thought much about it because her scent was nothing amazing…
After what seemed like forever they finally pulled apart, a faint blush decorating the female's cheeks and a glazed look in her eyes like she wanted something else.
"Go home, Sakura." I heard him mumble.
"Why can't I come in, huh? What is it you don't want me to see?" she pouted as her hands tugged on his white shirt, freeing them from his pants. Before she could remove them all he pushed her hands away. She let out an angry whine and stomped her foot. "Is it those strange new people Kakashi let stay here, is that why you haven't been seeing me? I heard a girl was in the group… tell the truth, do you think she's cuter than me?"
"Go home." He repeated, closing the door in her face. He might not have been able to hear but the female he called Sakura was still fuming outside, angry she wasn't able to get inside.
The raven haired human flicked the locks and turned around only to stop dead in his tracks when he saw me. We watched each other for a moment or two as we both just stood there like two idiots. I finally opened my mouth in confusion.
"What the hell was that?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Uchiha Sasuke walked further into the room and after throwing the items in his hand to the floor, sat on the sofa behind me. It was clear by his movements alone he was exhausted. When he didn't answer me and chose to close his eyes I thought he was going to fall asleep right here. I felt like I was being ignored.
"Stupid ass," I muttered, about to walk away. Suddenly his hand was around my wrist; his pathetic attempt at stopping me from moving any further. Little did he know I could drag him any which way I choose, however whatever had my heart beating faster told me to wait.
"She's a girl from my class," he started, removing his hand from me. "Always trying to get in my pants, you know?" I turned white in disgust, what the fuck was wrong with humans? He said that like it was normal. I ran my hand through my hair as I sat heavily on the sofa an arm's length from him, shaking my head.
"That sounds gross."
"…It was fine in the beginning but now she's getting on my nerves always following me…" He turned to look at me, expecting me to agree but all I could wonder was why any human would want to do such I thing…
"Forgot it I don't even know why I'm telling you this anyway." I was the one that stopped him this time.
"Wait, why?" I truly wanted to know.
"Why what?" He suddenly sounded annoyed, his eyes looking at me as if I was brainless – kind of pissed me off a bit.
"Why would anyone want to get into your pants? What was that at the door?" I hissed out. These damn human's were so slow!
Something clicked in his head as realization became clear in his dark eyes. "You're a complete virgin…" he stated.
My eyes continued to stare at him as I seriously thought about breaking every bone in his face. "What are you talking-"
"Do you want me to show you?" He's eyes got darker, confidence seemed to go through the roof, and something in his scent changed that almost made me curious. But I was cautious. He was moving closer to me in a way that resembled my actions earlier with the rabbits. Like I was prey that had fallen right into a trap he had set from the very beginning.
"What are you going to do?"
His eyes flicked from my lips to my eyes, "What do you think?"
The closer he got the more I smelt that Sakura human and that upset me on levels I didn't care for. "What you did with that female at the door…"
He didn't answer me, only mumbled for me to close my eyes before he pressed his lips against mine. I didn't do as he said though, and I saw that even he kept his eyes open as he moved my mouth with his until I opened my jaw. I fought the urge to bite off his invading tongue, that wouldn't be very human of me if I did, and after a couple of minutes I realized I wasn't fighting at all…
One of his hands had found their way into my hair just as one of mine held his shoulder – to push him away, I told myself. My eyes had managed to close on their own somehow and my ears were taking in every noise our mouth's made. The labored breathes from my nose excited me more and as he pulled me closer to his body I felt all the heat rush to my head. I was losing it, I had to gain control over myself again.
Then he pulled away, incredibly slow – even our lips didn't want to be separated I saw as clung together for a second longer.
My face was red, I could feel the heat remaining in my face as I continued to watch him stupidly and our breaths mixed in the small space between us. It was the first time a human took control like that and I actually enjoyed it. I wondered if my eyes were clouded over like the female's had been before; what was it I wanted more of from this retarded male that made me feel new things? What was I waiting for?
It surely wasn't for him to grin and walk away, "That was a kiss."
