We both once again got in a fighting stance, she smirked. "Mist illusion: Aqua dream!" A mist filled the area again, I sighed. It's like fighting Zabuza all over again, except with kitty ears... Ha, that'd be great! Kitty Zabuza- Oh, Naomi! Don't get distracted now.
                          
I looked around to see me and her were underwater, which makes no sense to me because she's half cat. I held my breath, she did another handsign and everything around me turned into needles. I screamed as they pierced my body.  I fell to the ground, great... now I was going to drown and- wait! Think for a second.
                          
She said it was an illusion, right? Okay so that means Genjutsu. So, I just have to release it! I did the handsign and yelled release. Everything went back to normal; there wasn't any more water or anything. "Impressive Genjutsu, Aya-Chan,"
                          
"Thanks," We were both panting by now. This is getting troublesome, maybe I should... let her win? I don't really want the chances of fighting Gaara or Ryuu. But, I still want to win. My thoughts got interrupted when I found myself flying through the air. "You're not supposed to space out at a time like this, Naomi-Chan!"
                          
I slammed into the wall. I laid there for a minute, Ayame walked over to me. "Naomi-Chan...?" When the propter was about to call the match to her favor, I got up and punched her in the stomach. I appeared behind her and went to kick her, but she dodged by appearing behind me.
                          
She went to grab onto me which I dodged by appearing above her, she looked up. I looked her straight in the eyes, I grabbed one of her hands and she grabbed my other hand and we both fell to the ground at full speed. A big cloud filled the room once we landed. "I can't see what happened!"
                          
"Naomi! Ayame...!" Everyone started whispering to each other.
                          
The dust cloud slowly dissipated to show that... both of us were limp on the ground next to each other.
                          
"Oww..." We mumbled in unison, we looked at each other and giggled, both raising our hands. "We give up!" 
                          
Hayate nodded. "Since they both give up, neither wins..."
                          
I tried to sit up but fell back down, Kakashi appeared next to me. He gave me one of those eye closing smiles. "Good job Naomi," I nodded. "I'm going to take you to the room right next to Sasuke's, and we're going to have a little talk."
                          
Kakashi picked me up, bridal style and started walking away. I waved at my team and yelled to Ayame. "Good fight!" Then I turned my attention back to Kakashi "Am I in trouble, Kakashi-Sensai?"
                          
He sighed, "No... I just want to talk." He said as he placed me on a bed, in the hospital place, next to Sasuke's bed. "Why were you there when I was sealing Sasuke's Curse mark? He sensed you... and what's worse is Orochimaru was there."
                          
I thought about my answer carefully and drummed my fingers on my weapon holster which I took off. "I was... looking for bunnies." I told him, completely serious.
                          
He gave me one of those looks. "Naomi, be serious."
                          
I stuck my tongue out at him. "I am!" He just continued to give me one of those disapproving look, I gave in. "Fine, I wanted to know where you were going with Sasuke."
                          
"Why?" He asked.
                          
"Because he's my teammate, and I just wanted to know- wait! Oreo was there?" I asked, just now realizing he said that.
                          
"Yes, he was."
                          
"Okay, can I sleep now?" I asked impatiently, feeling really tired now.
                          
Kakashi nodded, "Goodnight Naomi." And with that he left.

I woke up to see a bright white ceiling; I freaked out and rolled out of my bed, "Lighttt! It burns, it burnnns..."
                          
"What are you doing?" I jumped at the super familiar voice; I searched for the boy who talked. He was on his bed, leaning off of it a little with his head tilted at me.
                          
My eye twitched. Adorable! I mentally slapped myself. Oh right, he asked me a question! I grabbed the blankets and pulled them over me while I sat on the floor. "Hiding from the light, it burns." I told the Uchiha.
                          
I peaked at Sasuke to see he was smirking in amusement at me, I pouted. "Don't look at me with amusement, you person..."
                          
He raised his eyebrow at me. "I'm a person... that's all you could come up with?"
                          
"I just woke up, so I couldn't think of anything." Silence fell between us; I played with the blanket while Sasuke just stared, as if he was in deep in thought.
                          
"Naomi," Sasuke started, I gave him a questioning look. "Did you follow me and Kakashi after I finished my fight?"
                          
My eyes darted from left to right suspiciously. "No?" He gave me a 'be serious' look.
                          
It's like the talk with Kakashi all over again, I sighed. "Fine, I'll tell the truth. I was looking for bunnies." I told him with a complete serious face on. He returned my look with a doubtful one.
                          
"But I felt your chakra." He commented, suspicion in his eyes.
                          
"What? No you didn't..." I threw the blankets back on my bed and turned around to see Sasuke again, and crossed my arms. "You're just crazy."
                          
He sighed in exasperation, "I'm not crazy, I felt your chakra!" I randomly decided to sit on the edge of Sasuke's bed.
                          
"Alright, what did my Chakra feel like then?" I joked, but of course the Uchiha didn't show emotion.
                          
"Can you please just be serious for once?" He pleaded.
                          
"What's the fun in that?" I asked with a look of disgust on my face.
                          
I think he finally gave up and let it drop. But, not before one final move... Out of nowhere, he decided to push me off his bed.
                          
I landed on my butt, my mouth slightly open. I looked up to find Sasuke's face a couple inches away, he was...
                          
Smiling!
                          
Wait, what? Him, an Uchiha! An Uchiha was smiling. "Oh, if only I could grab a camera right now."
                          
Sasuke tilted his head. "Why?"
                          
Now that... is cute. I shook my head. "Yeaaah... No reason," I should have probably paid attention to just how close his face was, but his smiling was more important!
                          
"Naomi," Sasuke started in a somewhat hesitant voice,
                          
"Yes?"
                          
He looked as if he was thinking about what he was going to say. Just as he was about to say it, everything went black. I blinked a couple of times. Did the Hospital's lights go out? Or maybe Sasuke knocked me out...
                          
I pinched myself, "Oww..." nope, I'm awake. I looked around, "Sasuke...? Uchiha Duck butt...? Waffle tart?" I called out.
                          
No response, I started to panic. "Sa-...Sasuke-Kun?" With no response again, I closed my eyes for a good 30 seconds and then opened them up to find... a black ceiling, with a ceiling fan.
                          
My heart skipped a beat, I've seen this ceiling a bunch of times. I slowly lowered my head to see wood closet doors; I looked to my right to find a dresser, with a TV on it, and a desk next to that. I looked to the left and found the bed and nightstand.
                          
I clenched the carpet, I was... home.
