Fallen Angel

26. Curse Mark Sealing and Scars

"Kiamie, wake up." My eyes fluttered open and I saw Kakashi crouched down next to me.

Sasuke stood next to him. Suddenly my hand and his hand went straight to our curse marks. They where acting up again.

Kakashi sighed and helped me up.
"Come with me. I'm going to seal you and Sasuke's curse mark." I nodded as we began to walk away from the arena and down a hall. "Sasuke, did you already fight?" I said quietly.

He nodded while sweat dropping.
"You blacked out before I started fighting." I frowned at the ground. "Sorry I missed your fight Sasuke." He shrugged. "It's ok." We both smiled and we where soon in a dark, dark room.

"Kiamie, I'm going to seal yours first." I nodded and stepped into the center of this circle thingy. "Kiamie, your going to have to remove your shirt so that way I can seal it." Kakashi said with a closed eye smile. "What?!? In front of you and duck butt?!" He nodded.

I was always very self conscious, especially about my body. "No looking Sasuke!" He smirked and turned the other way. I sighed and slipped my shirt off and hugged myself, trying to cover myself up the best I could. I was wearing a black sports bra and my face was getting hot.

I looked over to see Sasuke staring at me, smirking with one eyebrow up. "I said no looking!" I shouted at him. He rolled his eyes and completely ignored me.

Kakashi drew sealing marks around me and on me, putting kunai in spots around the circle. I sat in the center of the sealing circle. "I'll make this quick and easy." Kakashi said doing some hand signs.

I was actually kinda nervous. "Curse Sealing!" The marks went into the curse mark and I screamed in pain. It finally stopped and I was breathing heavily.

Around my curse mark were the sealing marks that where drawn around the circle and on me. That hurt like hell! I suddenly collapsed, too tired to do anything. I mean, I hadn't really slept in the past week and my chakra was still low from my fight with Seiko.

What did he expect? I suddenly blacked out, and my body went numb.

I sat up and stretched my arms, yawning. I was in a hospital bed. Lovely. At least I had gotten some sleep and was now fully rested. My chakra was also now regained and I actually felt good.

My wounds where healed, and my shoulder was sore not only because of Seiko's punch, but because of Kakashi's seal. I looked down at my scared up stomach, then at my arms. Scars were everywhere. My once flawless skin, was now filled with ugly scars.

I looked to my side to see Sasuke sitting up in a hospital bed, staring out the window beside his bed.

"How long was I out?" I said rubbing my eyes. He turned his head and smiled when he saw me. "About a week." A WEEK?!?! "Seriously? I missed all the fights??" He nodded.

I jumped out of my bed and sat on Sasuke's bed, leaning towards him.
"You have to tell me who passed!" He smirked and told me all about how Naruto totally kicked Kiba's butt with a fart and how Sakura and Ino had a tie and both lost.

He told me about how they had to have an extra battle and that someone had to fight a second time against Nari.

"Who?" I said curiously. "Nari Otakio vs. Ino Yamanaka. Ino was desperate to pass the exams so she stepped forward to fight Nari, hoping that she would win and make it to the third exam. Nari won, obviously because of how pathetic Ino is." I smiled.

Way to go Nari! It kinda sucks that I missed out on all the fun. "We have three months till the third exam to train. Kakashi is going to be training me." I nodded, knowing Sasuke is going to be training the entire time.

I'll probably end up hanging out by myself while duck butt trains for the third exam. "How long have you been awake." He shrugged and thought for a second. "I woke up at least two days ago." Of course he was awake before me. Oh gosh! I was still shirtless and so was Sasuke.

I wrapped my arms around my chest, frantically trying to cover as much skin as possible.

"I already saw the scars." He said quietly. I nodded sadly. Then he pulled me into a hug, my head laying in the crook of his neck. "S-Sasuke! I don't even have a shirt on!" I said with a red face. "So? Does it look like I care?"

I can only imagine how much I resemble a tomato.

"S-Sasuke!" I heard him laugh and it only made my face go redder (if that was even possible.) "I'm going to go get a shirt." I said getting up.

"You perverted fanboy." He...He is evil. I found a tank top and slipped that on then went and sat next to Sasuke. "It kinda sucks that we missed all the fights." I said playing with my long green hair that went down a little past my waist.

Sasuke nodded and watched me braid strands of my hair, then take them out. He took a section of my hair and he started to twist it between his fingers, just looking at it. I felt my face heat up. Stop it Kia!

"What are you doing, fanboy?" He stared at my hair. "It's just that, it's so pretty." Ok now you can turn into a tomato. "T-thank you.." I mumbled with a red face.

He smirked and continued to play with my hair.

"Sasuke I'm hungry!" I whined. We both sat up and stared at each other.
"Ramen?" I smiled and jumped up. "Ramen!" We both had dirt smudges and blood stains on our clothes, but we didn't care. We ran out the hospital to the ramen shop for some food.
