Manami's P.O.V
Oh boy, the new hideout was much larger than I imagined! It was still dark and kind of gloomy (not like I expected any better), but there seemed to be many more corridors, secret paths and tunnels. More than that, there was an underground, and who knows what was hiding up there? I still felt like child who needs to explore and find out everything.
But not today. There were too many things going on.
Not only did we have to leave our hideout (after three years which I spent without seeing the sunlight) but also we encountered some enemies. This really pumped me up. It's not every day that I met new people, and those kids seemed really interesting. Also, I got so many questions raised in my head. Who was Akatsuki and why does it sound so familiar? Was that Itachi, Sasuke's brother, that strong? He could not be stronger than Orochimaru-sama, right?
The cave door behind me closed and I glanced at the outside world one last time. The day seemed bright and sunny. Too bad, I never know when I will be able to see it again. It made me sigh.
"Manami-chan, are you listening?" Kabuto asked, rolling his eyes at me.
Huh? I looked at him, he was still explaining me and Sasuke about our new hideout. Orochimaru-sama left us the moment we arrived, leaving us standing here. During the trip he also seemed in thoughts and I was not able to ask him the questions which were tickling me.
"Yes, yes, whatever, Kabuto." I scoffed at the gray haired ninja and crossed my arms over my chest. "I know what you are going to say. Don't explore the hideout, because you are going to get into trouble, whatever... Let's get it over with already."
Kabuto fixed his glasses slightly, glaring at me, then suddenly smirked.
"If you insist, Manami-chan. Don't blame me if anything happens though." He suddenly looked around and sighed. "Seems like Sasuke-kun already left. You guys are so troublesome. Anyways, let me show you your room."
I smirked at him, letting him take me there.
The room was very close to where I've been living in these past years, however, the ceiling was a bit higher and so it made the room look more spacious. This made me glad.
When Kabuto left, I took a short nap which turned out to be a bit odd. I had a really strange dream during it. I dreamt of a tiny black snake crawling up my right leg, getting higher and higher. At first I felt calm, but later I started panicking because the snake got right up on my neck. My body froze and I could not move. Suddenly the snake bit my neck and I woke up, deeply breathing.
I felt my forehead with my hand - there were cold drops of sweat over my skin. What a stupid dream. I jumped from the bed, shaking it off - I never gave too much meaning to dreams.
My head was kind of dizzy. What time was it? I had no clock in this room yet so I did not know. To my calculation, it should be late evening if not night already.
I wonder what Orochimaru-sama is doing... I really felt like talking to him, hoping to get all the answers I need from him. However, he might refuse to tell me everything, insisting that this should not worry me, but I wanted to know. Maybe it would be better to ask Uchiha? I might as well find him tomorrow. When he doesn't act like a jerk, he can be pretty good at explaining.
But first I needed to find my master.
Orochimaru-sama must be somewhere here, right...? How did I come up with this thought? I have no idea. I did not know where Orochimaru-sama's room was, I was just going straight, hoping to meet him or Kabuto somewhere. But for the past fifteen minutes I did not encounter anyone. I've found several doors, leading somewhere, but they were locked.
The candles on the walls were flickering as I made my way past them. All the corridors looked the same, so I decided to just go straight and do not turn anywhere else so I would not get lost. But I think I was lost already. This made me sweatdrop.
Another door. I felt that someone is here, right behind them. Maybe it's my master? I really hope so.
I knocked softly on the door, hoping to hear Orochimaru-sama's deep voice over there, but there was nothing.
I should have probably left right then, but my curiosity kicked in. I pushed the doorknob by myself and as I expected it opened.
The room was dimly lit, although there were about five candles on the walls, only two of them were burning. Although the room was the same size as mine, it looked much smaller because of the darkness. Same as in my room, there was a double bed, a wooden closet across it and a night table. To my surprise, on the ground beside it was a silhouette sitting, leaning against the wall. It was none other than Sasuke.
"W-what are you doing here, Uchiha?" I stuttered and facapalmed inside my mind.
Damn it. This is Sasuke's room. Why did I come here? And why am I asking such stupid questions?
His head was bent down, but after a moment it turned to me. Surprisingly, his black orbs looked tired now, although they still held this stolidity that was usual to him. Sasuke's face was blank, he looked completely unfazed.
"What are you doing here, in my room?" He uttered monotonously, keeping his eyes glued on me.
Even his voice sounded exhausted. Something was wrong with him. Uchiha was not his usual self. However, it was not my business. I turned back to the door.
"Sorry, I thought this is Orochimaru-sama's room, I will leave no-"
"Come."
My eyes widened at these words and I stared at Uchiha back, his orbs still fixed on me. He seemed dead serious.
I couldn't believe what he just said. He wants me to stay? I blinked a few times, unable to comprehend it.
Sasuke's P.O.V
Manami was standing there, staring at me as if I was a complete idiot. Maybe I was. I did not know why I asked her to come.
She looked so shocked and lost that it almost made me smirk. Who knew that you could confuse her so easily? Her hair was a bit messy, so were her black ninja clothes. She was probably sleeping.
Even in this dim light, Manami's eyes were standing out. They were such a bright shade of purple that it was difficult to believe that someone could have such eyes.
I patted the ground beside me, indicating her to come and sit down. At the moment I thought she was going to refuse, but after blinking a few times, Manami approached me slowly, watching me as if I was up to something.
She sat down, bringing her knees to her chest and glancing around the room only to avoid my eyes which did not leave her since the moment she came in.
Manami's P.O.V
What the hell was up with Uchiha? He seemed so weird. I felt him staring at me, but somehow this time I felt too uncomfortable staring back at him. Besides that, he was so close to me... I could feel his body heat.
I needed to avoid this awkwardness somehow... That's right! I should ask him the things which were bugging me.
"What is Akatsuki?" I asked him suddenly and I felt him finally avert his eyes away. "You guys kept mentioning it today."
I paused, waiting for his reply, but he stayed silent.
"These were your past teammates, right? The ones you have told me about before?"
Sasuke did not say a single word and this was getting on my nerves. He invited me to come in and refuses to speak with me?
"Is your brother really that strong? He could not be st-"
Suddenly Sasuke's cold arm grabbed my neck, pushing it against the wall roughly. I winced, shocked because of his attitude.
"Shut up. It annoys me when you speak." Uchiha spoke out coldly, his voice dripping with venom again, just like it always used to.
I glared at him, putting my hands on his and trying to push him away, but he was too strong. Instead, he just pressed it around my neck, making it more and more difficult for me to breathe.
"G-get away from me, U-Uchiha," I muttered, still trying to get away from his grasp.
Is he insane? What's wrong with him? Why is he acting like this out of a sudden?
Sasuke leaned in to me, his face so close to me, I could see it clearly now. His eyes were glaring at me angrily and sharply, as if he was trying to stab me with them.
"Get away," I repeated again, but Uchiha did not seem to mind this at all.
His face leaned in even closer, I could feel his breathing over my own face. Sasuke's face changed. I could not understand what was going on. His emotion now was something I could not get at all.
My head was getting dizzy from the lack of air and I squirmed even harder. Uchiha's body was almost over me. His hand, which was warm now, slid a bit up, to my chin, gripping it tightly. I felt his skin there. I felt him leaning in even closer. I felt his lips...
Suddenly I slapped him across the face, as hard as I could. His face turned to the side, getting covered by his hair and I could not see his expression anymore. His hand let go of my neck and I touched it, wincing from the ache which he just gave me. My hand was tingling from the harsh slap but I did not mind it. I was boiling with rage.
"Go to hell, Uchiha." I spat out at him, putting all my rage to these words, and quickly dashed out of his room.
I felt hot tears forming on the corners of my eyes, but I quickly wiped them away with my hand.
I hate you, Sasuke Uchiha. I hate you with all of my heart.
