'Mmm, this is delicious, Manami-chan.'
I couldn't help but grin at Kabuto, who was smiling and praising my work. Even if it was tea, I wanted to make it good.
I turned my head to Sasuke, but of course, he kept silent. I pouted.
'How is it, Uchiha?' I muttered to him, narrowing my eyes.
'Hn, whatever,' he answered before taking another sip. 'It's fine.'
I tilted my head to the side. Something wasn't right.
'Uchiha, you don't look good.'
It was true. His eyes suddenly became half-closed and he put the cup aside, gripping his face. I could hear the heavy breathing coming from his mouth, though he was resting for good ten minutes.
'Sasuke-kun?' Kabuto questioned, leaving his cup on the floor and coming closer to the boy.
I watched wide eyed as Uchiha's head suddenly hit the ground with a bump. He lost his consciousness.
'W-What happened?' I asked, feeling panic rise in my body. 'T-This is not because of my tea… Is it?'
I gulped quetly as Kabuto kept checking him out. What if it's really because of this drink? What if Uchiha is dead?! I didn't mean to kill him! Of course he is annoying but I don't wish to see him lying on the ground, not moving at all...!
'...Manami-chan. Manami-chan!' Kabuto shouted loudly before I looked at him, fear and shock written all over my face. The silver haired man chuckled.
'Why are you laughing, idiot?! Sasuke Uchiha might be dead!' I yelled at him, unsure of what to do anymore. 'I didn't to poison him, I swea-'
'Calm down, Manami-chan. He's not dead,' Kabuto smirked at me before picking Uchiha's body and throwing it over his shoulder. 'Sasuke-kun has just overstrained himself. He was training too hard these past days and needs rest.'
I let out a deep sigh of relief.
'Thanks god...'
What would Orochimaru-sama do to me if he learned that I poisoned his precious vessel? I sweatdropped. My master can't be disappointed. Sasuke must stay alive!
'I'm going to take him to the treatment room.'
'I will go too!' I said boldly and followed Kabuto out of the room, staring at the raven hair in front of me which was swaying gently.
'Geez, why are you so worried, Manami-chan?' the man commented, sending me a sly smirk. 'Do you like this boy so much?'
I sweatdropped.
'It's not because of that, stupid Kabuto... It's just...'
'Mm..?'
'Uchiha is very important to Orochimaru-sama, so I don't want him to die. Got it?'
Gosh, this was the most obvious thing in the world. Why would that four eyed dumbass make such conclusions?
'Sure thing, Manami-chan...' Kabuto whispered smugly, gazing at me from over his shoulder, a stupid smirk on his face.
I shot him a death glare. Why was he staring at me like that? Idiot idiot IDIOT. I should just feed him to snakes one day...
About an hour has passed since Kabuto left me in the treatment room with Sasuke. Of course he had to make another witty response, but I didn't care. I was bored and decided to stay with the Uchiha, watching him sleep. Wait... Doesn't this sound a bit too creepy? Oh well...
I smirked when I gazed at Sasuke's pale face. His lips were parted slighty and his long eyelashes were quivering from time to time. The boy finally looked calm and peaceful. He was always so gloomy...
I leaned back in the chair, closing my eyes. Does he know that he's just a vessel? And why does he need power so much? I don't think it has anything to do with Orochimaru-sama. Uchiha keeps carrying something dark inside his heart, I'm sure about it. My master mentioned that he broke all his bonds and left Konoha, just to become strong.
I opened my eyes. I wonder... How does it feel to break all your bonds? He probably had friends. Does it mean he betrayed them? I could never imagine myself betraying someone I love. Betraying Orochimaru-sama... I shook my head. That's not possible.
'Ita... Itachi...' I heard a quiet whisper and glanced at Sasuke.
His face darkened somehow and he looked troubled. Was he dreaming?
'Itachi...' he muttered again before shuffling on the bed and thrashing his head to the side. 'Why... Why...'
Who was this Itachi? I stared at the boy, puzzled. Should I wake him up? I probably should.
'Uchiha, wake up,' I shook him slightly.
'Itachi...' He continued and I noticed his fists turning white from the pressure. 'I will... I will kill you...'
I blinked a few times. Who is Itachi and why does Sasuke want to kill him?
'Wake up I said,' I murmured, this time louder, and poked him once again before he finally shot his eyes open.
A drop of sweat rolled down his forehead as he stared at me with wide and horrified eyes. He looked more lost than ever.
Sasuke's P.O.V
It was... Just a dream. Just another dream.
I stared at the big purple orbs which looked down on me in surprise. I glanced around. Where was I? I felt myself lying on the bed. There were tables and shelves in the room, all full of various bottles and other things. A few candles were lighting the place. It's probably some kind of medical room.
'About time for you to wake up, Uchiha,' Manami spoke to me softly, before giving me a deep confused gaze. 'What were you dreaming about? And who is Itachi?'
I hardened my eyes on her, feeling anger flow through my veins.
'That's not your business,' I retorted hatefully and sat down, clutching my head. 'Why am I here?'
I watched as the girl furrowed her eyebrows, looking displeased and annoyed with my answer. Her long hair wavered as she stood up.
'You collapsed in the training room. Kabuto brought you here,' she said, turning her eyes away. 'I thought it would be best to stay with you, in case you wake up and start panicking. But whatever, I'm leaving.'
Manami went to the door and I growled under my breath. She was obviously angry at me. I don't know why, but it felt wrong letting her leave. I couldn't understand.
'Stay,' I whispered, mentally slapping myself for such pathetic word.
Why would I want her to stay? I don't care at all. She is just Orochimaru's puppet. Though I find her somehow intriguing.
The girl turned to me, shocked by what I had said. Not like I wasn't shocked too.
'I mean you can stay, I don't care,' I added before looking away as if that wasn't a big deal.
But Manami giggled and came to my side with a sly smirk which was very irritating.
'Oh, little Sasuke-chan wants me to stay. How cute,' she chirped in a sweet tone and I growled again. 'So are you going to tell me who Itachi is?'
'No,' I spat at her.
'Fine...' She snorted and gazed at the candle, burning on the wall in front of her.
I could see her smiling delicately for some unknown reason. This annoyed me again, however, her presence was somehow comfortable.
I don't know how much time we have spent here like that, just sitting in silence. This shouldn't have been happening at all, but it felt right. I couldn't help but watch her from the corner of my eye. Manami wasn't some kind of freak or a maniac like other Orochimaru's henchmen. She didn't look evil either. How could such a girl be attracted to the snake man? No, you couldn't call it an attraction. It was just a trap, she didn't have a choice, did she? I wanted to ask, but Kabuto came in, intruding our own time.
