Ashley's POV



Sitting beneath a large tree, my back resting comfortably against the trunk, I slowly open my eyes and glance around. Not too far away from me, a small, wooden house sits comfortably amongst some tall trees.

Since Kakashi had passed out, Tazuna had said we could bring him back to his daughter's house, which ended up not being too far away from the spot where we'd run into Zabuza.

"Hey..." a low voice says, to which I slowly turn my head, eyes hooded. Standing a few metres to my right, I see Sasuke walking over, a blank expression on his face.

"What?" I reply flatly, not overly glad to see Sasuke, though I suppose I'd rather it was him than Sakura or Naruto. At least he doesn't talk and say stupid things all the time.

"He's awake" the Uchiha informs me, sounding as unenthusiastic as I probably look. Sasuke folds his arms over his chest, leaning one shoulder against a tree and raising an eyebrow at me. "Aren't you gonna go inside and see him?"

"Why?" I question, averting my gaze from Sasuke's onyx eyes. "It's not like he'll be going anywhere any time soon."

"......How did you know all that stuff about the Sharingan?" Sasuke question, his tone a little harsher than before. "Seemed like you knew what you were talking about."

I smirk at that, pushing myself to my feet and placing my hands on my hips. I turn towards Sasuke and walk over, my smirk obviously making the Uchiha somewhat uncomfortable.

"I know a lot of things Sasuke" I drawl, strolling past the ravenette, "But it's none of your business how I know."

"There's something weird about you" Sasuke informs me, turning and casting me a sceptical look as I brush past. "I'm not stupid."

"Hn" I grunt, rolling my eyes. "I'll keep that in mind."



"I think I may have overdone it with my Sharingan" Kakashi mutters sheepishly, sitting up in his bed.

"Your Sharingan is amazing and all Kakashi Sensei" Sakura sighs, gazing at the man with concern, "But if it puts so much strain on you, maybe it's not worth using it?"

"While the Sharingan is a powerful ability" I scoff, crossing my arms as everyone turns to look at me, "It's the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan. It only affects you so much because you're not an Uchiha, so it takes up far more of your chakra than it would one of them."

"......How do you know that stuff?" Sasuke asks me again, brows furrowing at me. I merely shrug, not bothering to answer his question again. I already told him it's none of his business.

"I've been places and I know stuff" I reply mysteriously, shrugging one shoulder in a casual way. Sasuke narrows his eyes at me, clearly not happy with my vague answer. Oh well. I hadn't answered him the first time he asked, so I'm not sure why he thought asking again would bring a different result.

"Seems I have some practising to do" Kakashi sighs, flicking his sceptical gaze away from me and sighing tiredly. "Anyway, I'm sorry if I worried any of you."

"Well" Tazuna reasons, poking his head into the room, "You did just take out a powerful Ninja assassin. We'll be safe for awhile now at least."
