The Path of Light (Book One of The Choice Of An Uchiha)

The Festival

~Alai~

So remember when I said we were heading back to Kashi's house to get ready for the festival?

Yeah about that...

It kind of turned into a giant battle zone. Ya see I let Kashi convince me to leave me bow home, but I was taking my charms and knives with me. He didn't care so much at first, but the guy snuck up on me while I was fixing my hair, and I kinda cut his vest with my knife. Now he's trying to make me leave it home, and I'm not so willing to leave it behind.

Things were thrown.

Threats were made.

More things were thrown.

A deal was made....then broken...and now....

"WHERE DID YOU GET ALL THESE KNIVES FROM!?"

Yeah even more sharp objects are being thrown. Oops? Wait not oops. IT'S HIS FAULT. He told me he'd leave his book home if I left my knives home, so when I caught him sneaking it in his vest pocket, I threw a knife at him. Which by the way I've noticed I'm all out of. I search my pouch to notice the bunch of Kunai I managed to steal from Kashi the night before. I took aim while he was debating if it was safe to poke his head out from behind the wall.

"I believe your all out of knives miss."

"Your right I am."

He moved his head out from behind the wall and quickly retreated just as I threw a kunai at him.

"WHEN DID YOU GET KUNAI!?"

"When you were sleeping."

"You took my kunai? What if someone attacked while we were out there?"

"Then I would have kunai to stab them with as they tried to carry me away!"

"Can't we call a truce?"

"Last time we did that you broke it."

"Alright fine, you can take your knives with you if you let me take my book. Deal?"

"..."

"Alai..."

"Alright fine deal!"

I jumped out from my hiding place and gave Kashi back his kunai while he returned my knives. I took a few more minutes to get ready before looking to him to see if he was all set to go. I was wearing my Beckoners dress, since I was only 13, I kind of had to make my own.

~Dress on the side, I didn't feel like drawing (mainly because I'm horrible at drawing people) so she has brown hair and blue eyes.~

I looked over to Kashi after I realized that he wasn't around me. He was sitting on the couch reading his precious gross book. So what did I do? Well what any crazy hyper girl would do of course!

I took his book and ran for it.

"ALAI!"

"You'll have to catch me Kashi!"

~Sasuke~

We had previously decided to meet up at a tree just before the festival's entrance, so when I arrived I jumped up and sat on the branch above.

'Might as well get comfortable.'

If Naruto and Sakura weren't late, I was betting that Kakashi-Sensei and Alai would be. No matter what that lazy teacher of ours was always late. Morning or night, it didn't matter. It's like the guy was purposely late.

"Sasuke!"

"Hn?"

I looked down as the Alai's accented voice registered through my head, and in the distance I saw my teacher sprinting toward the meeting place.
