Manami's P.O.V
The only part of my body that I could move was my legs. I concentrated my chakra there, as well as my arms - this was my only way to escape.
Now or never.
To my own surprise, I managed to slip away from Sasuke's grasp. He looked surprised as well - I could see his eyes widen slightly at me. I stood in front of him, holding my kunai in front of me, prepared for his next move.
Uchiha smirked suddenly, pointing his sword at me again.
"Not bad," he spoke out.
I could sense some kind of playfulness in his voice. He looked so calm and focused... His eyes, shining red, looked like they were made of glass. I found them kind of intimidating. No, there was no way I could give up to Sasuke... I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to come up with a strategy to beat him.
"You are taking way too long," Sasuke muttered, his smirk disappearing as he attacked me suddenly.
Luckily, I managed to dodge him this time. He was so good with his sword - I had to work really hard to avoid it. One wrong step and I am dead.
After a few minutes, I was already covered in sweat. Sasuke, on the other side, looked quite relaxed. It seemed like he was barely putting any effort into our fight. Is he really that strong? This really pissed me off.
"Try harder," he smirked at me after gracefully dodging my attack again.
This time, though, I did not feel any kind of mocking in his voice. I don't understand him... His attitude changes so quickly... I sighed to myself.
I just needed to take a deep breath. If I keep getting pissed, this won't get me anywhere. I need to focus. I need to find his weak spot.
I stared at Sasuke for a while, not moving from my spot. His physical shape was great. He was very fast and powerful, I could barely dodge him, no need to even talk about attacking him. The way he wielded his weapon was flawless. Wait...
An idea popped up in my head. This should really tame his cockiness.
Sasuke's P.O.V
Fight with Manami really intrigued me. I wasn't using even half of my power, but I was curious about her. She was just... Amusing to fight.
She stared at me for a few minutes, then suddenly a wide smirk appeared on her face. She probably came up with something.
"It's time someone puts you in your place, Uchiha," Manami spoke out, pointing her kunai at me.
"I'm waiting," I replied smugly, feeling excitement run through my veins.
After a few seconds Manami disappeared from my eyes. I looked round quickly, but she was nowhere to be found.
This is getting more and more interesting.
Manami's P.O.V
I quickly made five shadow clones who attacked Sasuke all at once. Of course, he didn't battle them for a long time.
"Is that all you've got?" Sasuke snorted, smirking like an asshole again after destroying my last clone.
But this time it was me who was smirking.
"Not at all," I replied, feeling proud of myself.
Another ten of my clones attacked Sasuke, throwing shurikens and kunais at him, kicking him from all sides.
Sasuke growled in annoyance, destroying all of them in one hit, slashing through them with his sword. This was the exact moment I was waiting for.
Before Sasuke could react, two of my clones attacked him from behind, while the real me used chakra strings to snatch his precious sword out of his hands.
I smirked devilishly to myself, tightening my grip on his sword. It was way more heavy than I imagined. How can he use it so easily?
Sasuke looked surprised for a moment, then smirked as well, crossing his arms on his chest.
"Not bad at all from someone like you," he mocked me now, watching me trying to handle his weapon.
I glared and smirked at him, pointing his sword to his chest. I threw it from my right hand to my left, swinging it around a little, trying to get used to it. Actually, it felt nice to have it. After getting used to its weight, it seemed like a pretty good weapon.
"I should keep it," I smiled at Sasuke, attacking him with my full speed.
Sasuke's P.O.V
Manami is stupid if she thinks that this sword is my only weapon.
"Don't underestimate Uchiha," I uttered to her as she swung the sword at me, trying to cut me in half.
I could see how hard she was trying. Her purple eyes were more determined than ever. Her moves were swift and firm. Also, the way she was wielding the sword was getting better in seconds. She was improving pretty fast.
"Don't underestimate Kato as well," she spat at me, slashing the air again.
I barely dodged it this time. This made me smirk.
Manami's P.O.V
"Where is your family?"
I froze as Sasuke asked this question. So sudden and unexpected. Why is he asking this?
I gripped the sword harder, coming at him again. To be honest, I was getting out of breath. Even without his weapon, Sasuke was fighting incredibly well.
"My family is dead."
Sasuke stared at me intently, kicking me in the stomach and sending me flying to the wall. I winced in pain. It was difficult to stand up.
"What happened to them?" Sasuke asked seriously, taking a few steps towards me.
My stomach felt like it was burning. I couldn't move.
"They died in a fire. My village was attacked and burned down to ashes. Everything happened very suddenly..." I replied, feeling cold all of suddenly. "I am lucky that Orochimaru-sama was there. He noticed me, helped me and took me in."
Sasuke just gazed at me as I tried to stand up. My legs were trembling, but I did not care. I didn't want to give up. Not to Sasuke.
Panting heavily, I gripped the sword with both of my hands and launched another attack towards Uchiha. My body didn't want to listen to me anymore - I was very slow, and not even half as strong as before.
"I see," Sasuke replied calmly, he looked like he was in thoughts. "Who attacked your village?"
"What's with these questions, Uchiha?" I mumbled, swinging the sword around, now it seemed heavier than ever before.
I felt so confused... Why was he suddenly so interested in me? Anyways, he told me his story, so I guess it would be fair enough for me to do the same.
"I don't know," I muttered quietly. "But it does not matter anymore. My family is dead and there is no way to bring them back. Now I have just Orochimaru-sama."
I gasped as Sasuke suddenly knocked the sword from my hands. It felt to the ground with a clang.
I stared at the Uchiha, who was glaring at me more intently than before. He seemed pissed.
"How can you not know what happened to your own village? Do you not care?"
Before I could realize it, I was harshly thrown to the wall again. The pain was covering all of my body now. I felt tears gathering up in the corners of my eyes, but I quickly swallowed them. My head was feeling dizzy.
"Stop... Stop thinking that what you are doing is the only right way," I replied to him, my voice sounded distorted and weak.
Oh, how much I hated that...
"Even if I know who destroyed it, what it will change? Nothing at all. I don't want to live with the hate haunting me forever."
I need to get up... I can't give up. I just can't.
To my own surprise, there was still chakra left in my body. It was keeping me alive. I need to fight...
Sasuke kept silent for a while, just glaring at me emotionlessly.
"You are an idiot," he replied calmly. "What was the name of your village?"
I blinked a few times, brushing the sweat away from my forehead. I checked my pouch - there was a single shuriken left. I had no other weapons left. This made me sigh in disappointment.
"Hidden Storm Village."
Sasuke's P.O.V
Hidden Storm Village... I could swear that I have heard this name before. But where? Probably in the academy. Yes, I am sure I have heard this name there.
Yet, I couldn't remember anything else about it. There was something about this village...
I felt a sharp pain in my chest suddenly. I glanced down to see a shuriken stuck in my chest, making a wide wound. The blood was dripping down my skin to my white shirt.
I glared at Manami - she looked completely shocked. She was staring at my wound in fear, glanced at me, then back to the wound. Her eyes were wide - seems like she did not understand what happened just now.
"I-I... I t-thought... I thought that y-you will d-dodge it..."
I growled in annoyance. This was stupid. I put my hand on the bloody shuriken, slowly taking it out of the wound.
Manami's P.O.V
Oh my god... I can't believe I actually hit him.
I watched as he tried to take the shuriken out of the wound, making more blood gush out. It was painful just to watch it, and yet his face was completely emotionless. He wasn't showing any reaction.
What should I do? I seriously hurt him. He might bleed to death! I should help him, I can't let him die!
I felt panic rush over me, making me forget all my pain. I quickly ran to Sasuke's side. His wound was bleeding pretty hard. I watched as he threw the bloody shuriken to the ground while holding his other arm on the crimson spot on his chest.
"I-I'm so s-sorry..." I mumbled, quickly gathering chakra in my right palm.
I must not forget to thank Kabuto later for teaching me some basic healing techniques.
My hands were shaking slightly, but I moved Sasuke's palm away from the wound carefully. As soon as I did it, the blood started leaking everywhere again. Damn it... The wound was pretty deep. I quickly put my right hand over it, stopping the blood from flowing. I could feel my chakra streaming to Sasuke's chest.
Sasuke's P.O.V
Manami's hand was on my chest now. I could see it getting covered in my blood. Her skin was brushing against mine.
I never felt like this before. My chest felt warm. My heart was beating faster than usual.
I stared at her hand for a while, then lifted my eyes to her face.
A serious, focused expression was plastered on her face. Her eyes were not moving away from my wound. I could see her forehead and lips tense up.
Her lips... They looked pale now, a very bright shade of pink. They were turned into a straight line.
Manami noticed me looking at her and stared back at me. As soon as our eyes met, my heart stopped beating.
Her violet orbs were making me crazy... I could see them trembling. They seemed so deep, like a never-ending abyss. I was getting lost.
She was driving me crazy.
Manami's P.O.V
I gasped as Sasuke's right hand appeared on top of mine and brought it closer to his chest. His hand felt so warm...
I felt goosebumps on my skin. I couldn't think straight... What the hell was happening...?
Sasuke's eyes were still locked on mine, and it felt like I was put under a spell. Was he using his sharingan on me? Why... Why I couldn't move my body at all?
The wound on his chest has disappeared, leaving just bloody marks on his skin and my hand. However, Sasuke was still holding my hand there.
I couldn't read what was written in his bright red eyes. They were hypnotizing. There was something in them... I felt like I was melting in that single moment, it felt like the time stopped. Nothing else existed around us. I could not feel anything else, just my skin touching his. His warm grip on my hand. His eyes locked on mine. His body heat.
"Sasuke..." I whispered, my voice trembling like crazy. "What are you doing...?"
He blinked suddenly and his eyes changed. They became cold. Just like they usually were. He glared at me angrily.
I felt him brush my hand off harshly.
"Enough playtime with you," Sasuke spat at me, while taking his sword and putting it in place on his back.
He glared at me again, while I was just standing there with my eyes wide, watching his every move.
"You are weak and useless. I don't understand why Orochimaru needs someone like you."
With these words, Sasuke left the training ground. I was left alone, covered in silence again.
One of the oil lamps on the wall in front of me quivered. The flame struggled for a while, but then died out, giving itself to the hands of the eternal darkness.
My heart... It was somewhere else.
