Chapter 11: The Land Where A Hero Once Lived.

I watch as Naruto and Sasuke continue their tree climbing training, just as Kakashi-sensei had asked me while Sakura was send to watch over Tazuna but not without sending me a death glare.

"Danm it! What's with this thing?!" Naruto complain while sitting on the ground, panting for air causing me to sigh.

Many hours has passed and it was getting pretty late and Naruto and Sasuke, who was now panting on the ground in exhaustion. "Hey guys, why don't we call it a day." I suggested but their ignore me and glares at each other causing me to sweat drop and sigh and continue to watch them train.

I was getting bored and decided to play with the flower that Sasuke had given to me while humming softly.

"Hey, Naruto."
I look up only to see Naruto face plant the ground causing me to sweat drop.

"DANM YOU! DON'T BOTHER ME WHEN I'M CONCENTRATING!" Naruto yelled angrily at Sasuke.

"Um., Well..." I tilted my head to the side, confused to what Sasuke was trying to say.

"What?" Naruto asked annoyed as he cross his arms over his chest.

"You asked Sakura for tips before, right? What did she tell you?" Sasuke asked him while looking away with a pout.

I look at Sasuke surprised but smile nevertheless as I know Naruto would do the right thing. "I won't tell." I face plant the ground at Naruto. I sit back up and sigh. I should have seeing it coming. I thought to myself before I stood up and walk over to them.

"Wha...?" Sasuke look at Naruto tick off.

"Naruto, your supposed to be a team which means you have to have each other's back." I lightly scolded him and poke his forehead which causing him to playfully glance at me as I stick out my tongue out at him.

I turn to face Sasuke. "Sasuke, if you like I'll help you." I told him while shyly smile at him.

(This is how I picture her smiling, ignore the outfit.)

He nodded and smile at me with a blush on his cheeks as I walk over to him and lean close to his ear. "First, Chakra uses your spirit energy, so don't get tense or too eager. Relax concentrate on your energy, and collect a constant amount of Chakra at the bottom of your feet." I whispered into his ear gently.

"Is that all of it?" Sasuke asked me as I pull back.

I smile and nodded my head. "Yeah but for now, we should head back." I said as I grab their hands and lead the way to Tazuna with them complaining.

I was sitting next to Sasuke since put me here as we all was eating dinner while I ignore Sakura's death glare that she was denting my way. "This is really fun! It's been a while since I ate with this many people!" Tazuna said heart fully.

I sweat drop as I saw Naruto and Sasuke was eating their food to fast. That can't end up well. I thought.

"Second please!" Their both said together, holding out their bowls and shoot lightning at each other.

Before their suddenly turn green and quickly turn away to barf.

"If you're going to barf, don't eat!" Sakura told them gross out as she stood up while I was rubbing Sasuke's back with a worried look.

"No, I'll eat." Sasuke said while wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and glance over at Naruto.

"I have to eat evening I have to force myself... I have to become strong quickly." Naruto said with a grinned as he also glance over to Sasuke.

Kakashi-sensei nodded with his as cross over his chest. "But barfing isn't good either." He said to them.

"That's right, you two. It's not healthy and it won't make you stronger at all." I said to them, agreeing with Kakashi-sensei.

Once everyone was done eating Tsunami service us some tea. When I finish mine, I excuse myself and decide to take a bath before going to bed so I when inside me and Sasuke's room. I giggle a little as I remember when Kakashi-sensei was making the sleeping arrangement.

>Flashback<

"Okay, Sakura with Sasuke will share one room while Naruto and Nikki will share another one." Kakashi-sensei told us, surprising me since I thought that boys would share one room and girls would have another bit I guess I was wrong.

Sakura was squeaking in delight while Sasuke looks horrified. Me and Naruto looked at each other then just shrugged our shoulders, not really caring since we use to sleep together when were kids.

"No way! I want a change." Sasuke demanded causing Sakura to sulk on the ground at the rejection.

Kakashi look at him before sigh. "Alright find, then it's Nikki and Sasuke instead. And Naruto with Sakura, that's my final decision." He said and glance at Sakura who was about to protest it but shut her mouth and frown.

I laugh nervously under the deadly aura coming out of Sakura as she stared intently at me.

>End of flashback<

I let out a sigh as I grab what I need before entering the bathroom.

I turn on the shower after I put my night clothes on the sink before I took off my clothes and jump inside the shower.

I sigh as the warm water hit my skin while I was washing my hair, I suddenly start to sing.

(Note: this song is from an anime called Angel Beats, Brave Song. You can find it on YouTube.)

Itsumo hitori de aruiteta furikaeru to Minna wa tooku
Sore de mo atashi was aruita sore gatsuyosa
Mou Nani mo kowakunai sou tsubuyaite misery
Itsuka hito was hitori no matter omoide no naka no ikiteku same
Kodoku saw aishi watatterareru you no atashi was tatakaun da
Namida nante misenain da

I sing as I wash the shampoo off my hair and then wash my body.

Itsumo hitori de aruiteta yukusaki no way gaki ga matters
Sore de mo atashi wa aruita tsuyosa no shoumei no Tami
Fukitsukeru tsuyoi kaze ase de shatsu ga haritsuku
Itsuka wasurate shimaeru Nara ikiru koto sore was tayasui mono
Boukyu no Kanata e to ochite iku Nara Sora was Nigeria koto Dara
Ikita imi sura kieru darou

What I didn't know, I had forget to lock the door and didn't hear that someone had entered and listen to me singing.

Kaze wa yagate naideta ase mo kawaite
O-naka ga suite Kita na nanika atta like

Itsumo hitori de aruiteta minna ga yattekita

I turn the shower off and pull in the towel to dry myself off.

Itsuka hito was hitori no natte omoide no naka no ikiteku dake
Some de mo ii yasutaka na kono kimochi was sore o nakama to yobun da
Itsukainna to sugoshita Bibi wasurete dokoka de ikiteru to
Sonno toki was mou tsuyoku nanka nai yo
Futsuu no onna no ko no yowasa de namida o kobosu yo.

Once I finish the song while pushing the curtain aside then I freezed as I saw Sasuke stand at the door, staring at me in complete shock as his eyes were looking up and down my towel covered body with a blush on his cheek.

My face turn red. "Kyaa!" I squeaking as I started to grab the nears things closet to me and throw them at Sasuke. "SASUKE! GET OUT!" I scream at him.

"H-hey watch it!" Sasuke said while bodging the things coming at him and quickly left the bathroom while closing the door behind him.

I can't believe this is happening to me. So embarrassing ever. I thought as I slide down to the floor with red face.

Sasuke's POV

I was leaning against the bathroom door on the other side, completely red face as the image of Nikki in a towel was still in mind.

I can't believe I saw that. I thought while trying to cover my blush with my hand.

I move over to the wall next to the door, waiting for Nikki to finish. As Kakashi came by. "What happen Sasuke? I heard some screams." He asked me.

I looked away from him. "It's nothing." I told him, not looking at him.

Nikki came out of the bathroom with a towel around her neck while wearing a nightgown.

(This is what Nikki's nightgown.)

"Huh! Oh, Kakashi-sensei. I was going to check on your recovering before going to bed." She said going over to him and sit down on the floor.

"Ah! Yeah, thanks Nikki." Kakashi-sensei said, sitting in front of her, allow her to put her hands on his back as her hands glow green as she close her eyes.

I watch Nikki perform the check up before she finish and let out a sigh as their both stood up. "Well sensei, you are recovering really well. You'll be back in full strength in no time." She told him.

Kakashi nodded. "Thanks Nikki. You doing great as a medical-nin." He told her, ruffle her hair as she smile before heading over to our room but not before glance over at me from the corner of her eye as a blush appeared and she quickly entered.

I caught her her glance before she went inside and start blushing myself too as I quickly went inside the bathroom, leaving Kakashi behind.

Third Person's POV

Huh? I wonder what happen to them. Kakashi though to himself before chuckle as he went into his room.

Nikki's POV

I was brashing my hair before taking a book and move over to the window to start reading as the moon was my only light.

"Hey." I look up and saw Sasuke coming in throught the door with a towel around his neck and shirtless.

I blush seeing his chest but quickly look away. "Hi." I said back softly as I put my book down and turn to face him.

Sasuke looked at me for a moment before he toos the towel aside and walk over to stand next to the window while looking at the night sky as I turn to look as well.

It was completely silence between us which made me a little nervous until Sasuke broke it. "Nikki." I turn to look at him.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I should have knock." He apologize as he look at me with guilt in his eyes.

I quickly stood up. "No Sasuke, it's okay really." I told him honestly.

Sasuke smile at me with his eyes soften before he gently to my hand and pull me to his chest causing me to gasp in surprised as he wrap his arms around me in a tight hug.

I couldn't help but blush as he nuzzle in to my hair. I slowly close my eyes as I relax to the beat of his heart while slowly wrapping my arms around his waist.

(This is the closest thing to what I had picture. So image them in night clothes.)

I never felt this warm before when someone hugs me. I feel so safe in Sasuke arms.

Sasuke slowly pull back and move to hold my shoulders as he look into my eyes with a smile fill with love as he lean in causing me close my eyes as he kiss me.

After a few seconds the need for air came causing us to pull apart.

I blush as Sasuke rest his forehead against mine while looking into my eyes with nothing but love in them.

"I... I love you, please be my girlfriend, Nikki." Sasuke whispered causing my eyes to widened in shock.

I stared at him as my eyes start to watering. "Yes." I whispered with a smile as tears fall down my cheeks. "Yes." I repeated while crying in pure joy as I wrapped my arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder as he held me tightly and snuggle into my neck before we kiss.

When I calm down, we pull apart as Sasuke caressed my cheeks and wip the remaining tears off with his thumbs.

"Will you forever stay by my side no matter what?" Sasuke asked me gently, looking into my eyes with hope.

I smile at him. "Sasuke, I made you a promise when we were Young and I plan on keeping it no matter what happens, even if the path we're on is dark, I will be with you because I love you." I told him with a small smile and blush before peck him on his nose causing him to look at me with widened eyes in shock as a small blush appeared on his cheeks.

I giggle at his reaction causing him to snap out of shock and smirk making me look at him in confused until I suddenly let out a Yelp when he suddenly pick me up, bridal style.

"Sasuke!" I exclaimed quietly as I gently smack his chest causing him to chuckle as he walk over to his bed and sit me on it before pushing mine next to his.

I smile at him as he made me lay down next to him. I slowly fall asleep in Sasuke's arms, feeling his warm body heat mix with my own.

"Good night my Phoenix." Was the last thing I heard along with a pair of soft lips on my forehead as darkness took over me.
