Chapter 6: Advice

A few hours had passed, nothing but silence had eroded the team. Sasuke was acting like a normal Uchiha, glaring at all the necessary people that he had to kill. Riku was eyeing Sakura, Sakura giggled at his sight. To Sasuke it seemed that they had been flirting for the duration of the two hours they had been walking.   

“Oi Hyuuga” Sasuke broke the silence between the two men. Neji looked up from his map, his white pupils staring coldly at the Uchiha.
“What?” he asked irritated.
“How’s yours and Tenten’s relationship?”
“How do you know that?”
“It’s pretty obvious that you would hook up” Sasuke explained, ending his sentence with the infamous Uchiha smirk.
“None of your business” Sasuke’s rival pushed him away from him causing Sakura to stare at the two in concern.

That night, Neji had placed the fire in the middle of the camp as he eyed everyone on the mission dangerously. Riku sat beside Sakura, laughing and flirting with her. Sasuke sat on the other side of Sakura; he couldn’t take the flirting that was going on with ‘his’ cheery cherry blossom.  Hearing another laughter coming out of Sakura’s lips made him walk away and back to his tent. Sakura noticed his swift fast movement into his tent. As she stared at the shadows that was being made by the lantern inside the Uchiha’s tent.
“Just leave him” Riku advised her. “Just leave him” he repeated to make sure that Sakura had heard him right.
Her emerald orbs adverted from the Uchiha’s tent to Neji.
“Sasuke has been through a lot latterly” Neji started, clearing his throat to continue on. “I think he’s starting to regret the wrongs that he has done over the past few years”
“Regret that he has done” Sakura repeated. Earning a nod from the Hyuuga. Her eyes were now focused on the Uchiha’s tent, she could tell him…he was lying there….probably thinking about the happenings in his life.

Closing his dark obsidian orbs, Sasuke focused on what his life needed to think of….he could both plot his revenge on his brother….or he could forget about it and have Sakura for his life. Running his hand through his dark raven hair.
Revenge or Sakura?

“The Bird country….” Riku told the girl beside him, who nodded to everything he said, except she wasn’t looking at him she was staring at the shadows of the Uchiha. “Sakura!” He demanded. Noticing someone calling out to her she faced the client.
“Hai?” she asked confused why he was calling her.
“Didn’t you hear me?”
“Gomen there’s been a lot of things on my mind”
“Really?” Riku asked concern, eyeing the kunochi carefully “Looks like your staring at the Uchiha again”

Sasuke overheard the convo as he smirked at what Riku had told Sakura, even though he kept his silence.

Sakura got up from where she was sitting, and made her way over to her own tent. Neji eyed Riku.
“Nice” he commented as he moved towards his own tent. “Stop interfering willya?” Neji told him, his byakuan activated as a high threat.

Sakura was in her tent, just the usual really, she was lying on her sleeping bag, eyes closed as she listened to the night of nature. Hearing the footsteps of someone she knew came into the tent staring at her.
“What do you want Riku?” she asked knowing the person already “I want to be alone”
“I sleep here….we sleep together in the same tent remember” he tried to consult her.
”Un right” she agreed, but deep inside she didn’t…she wanted to sleep with him ….in his tent not with the annoying client. “Can you leave I need to get ready for bed” She asked him politely. Riku nodded as he exited the tent.
