(Lily's P.O.V)
Sasuke and Suigetsu start going down the stairs as I look at Tenzen.
"Sasuke? No not him! Sasuke that killed Orochimaru?!"
Tenzen asks/yells while panicking.
"The one and only."
I smirk then run down the stairs and I catch up with the guys.
"Hey, you're famous, Sasuke. They know your name even around here."
Suigetsu says with a smirk.
"Hn.."
~
"You know.. As long as I have this sword, I won't even lose to either one of you... Maybe."
Suigetsu says as we walk out of the forest.
"Hold on. You guys knew that I was going after this sword even before you freed me, didn't you? And wait... You guys also knew from the start that it wasn't at the grave site anymore. I get it. The one who warned him that his castle was gonna be attacked and got him to gather his men together.. was you, Sasuke? Tenzen acted like he'd met you before, and I don't think that was a lie. Hey wait. Did you suggest that wager just to get me to go into enemy territory with you? Were you just testing me? It was, wasn't it?"
Suigetsu asks one question after another, and I must say that it's getting annoying. When Sasuke and I don't answer, Suigetsu continues talking.
"Man, you guys are terrible. I could've gotten hurt doing that. Well, now I understand what kind of guy you are, Sasuke. And you're exactly the way I imagined you to be. Anyway, I have my blade. So I'll help you as promised. So? Which hideout are we going to next? Wait, let me guess. The closer one, right? That's what you were gonna say. I'm starting to get inside if your head, Sasuke."
Suigetsu finally shuts up. About time.
"Hmph. Yeah, the closer one."
~
"I'm hungry, can we stop somewhere?"
Suigetsu asks again. He keeps asking every ten minutes. I look over at Sasuke and we both nod. I turn to Suigetsu.
*Sigh* "Fine, we'll stop at the town that's ahead."
I say and Suigetsu grins.
"Alright! Race you there!"
Suigetsu yells then he takes off towards the town. I roll my eyes and shake my head.
"He's acting like a child."
*Sigh* "Yeah he is. Sorry that you have to put up with it, Lily."
Sasuke says then looks at his feet. I laugh lightly and put my hand on his shoulder.
"It's weird having you apologize for something, especially something like this. Besides, we'll get used to it sooner of later."
Sasuke looks up and puts his hand on mine that's still on his shoulder, while smiling at me. I start to feel a blush coming to my cheeks, but quickly force it down.
"Yeah you're right. Let's get going. You know how Suigetsu is never patient."
Sasuke says then we put our hands back to our sides and start walking.
'Why am I starting to feel this way? Am I falling for him? I think I am, but why do I have a feeling that I shouldn't? Like something bad will happen if I do. I guess for now, I'll just keep my feelings to myself.'
~
"This is so good! Lily, you have to try this!"
Suigetsu says as his shoves a spoon I'm my face.
"Uhh... No, I'm good. You have it, Suigetsu."
I say while waving my hand in front of me. Suigetsu shrugs.
"Alright, your loss."
Suigetsu quickly finishes his food then goes to one of the waitresses and starts flirting with her.
'Good luck with that, idiot.'
I roll my eyes and go back to eating my own food.
"Hey, Lily?"
Sasuke asks.
"Wha-"
I try to ask, but as soon as I look up at Sasuke, he puts a spoon in my mouth.
'Why that little...'
I glare at Sasuke as I quickly swallow the food.
"What was that for!?"
I say as Sasuke smirks.
"I wanted you to try it 'cause 'it's so good!'"
Sasuke smiles a little then starts laughing lightly.
"Haha. Very funny, Sasuke."
"Don't you mean 'Master Sasuke'?"
He says with a raised eyebrow and a smirk plastered on his face.
"I'm not calling you that ever again."
"Oh? And why's that?"
"Because I don't want to."
"We had a deal, remember?"
I glare at him.
"I don't care."
Sasuke glares back.
"Umm. What are you guys doing?"
We stop our glaring contest and we see Suigetsu standing by the table.
"Sasuke's just being Sasuke."
I say with a shrug and Suigetsu nods.
"Ahh gotcha."
"So, what happened with you?"
I ask while nudging my head towards the girl from before.
"Oh I was just getting our bill taken care of."
"And how did you do do that?"
Sasuke asks. Suigetsu gets a proud look on his face.
"This girl loves me!"
"Wrong..."
I say as I shake my head.
"What do you mean?"
They both ask.
*Sigh* "Since you're both to dence to notice, I'll point it out. Look at her, she's staring at Sasuke, not you, Suigetsu."
They both look over at her and see her blushing and staring at guess who? I'll give you a clue. It's starts with s and ends with asuke.
"I knew you didn't have a chance the second you thought about it and got up."
"I guess you're right....."
Suigetsu starts sulking.
"Let's go find somewhere to stay for the night. It's getting late."
Sasuke says then stand up.
"Alright."
"Yeah let's go...."
~
When we walk into the inn everyone starts staring at us.
"Uhh why are they all staring at us?"
Suigetsu asks.
"Not us. Lily."
Sasuke tells Suigetsu.
"Why her?"
Sasuke smirks.
"I have an idea."
I glance at Sasuke.
'What is he hiding?'
The owner of the inn walks up to me.
"Excuse me, but by chance is your name Lily?"
"Ummm... Yes.. Why do you ask?"
He smiles widely then turns to everyone else.
"It is her!!!"
He yells and I have a really confused look on my face.
"W-what's going on here?"
(Sasuke's P.O.V)
Everyone in the building is cheering while Lily is trying to figure all of it out.
"Can you sing a song for us? We've all heard that you're an amazing singer."
I smirk to myself.
'I knew it. It's spreading quicker than I thought it would.'
I was the one that started the rumor about Lily, but everything about it is true. Her strength, beauty, personality, voice, everything. I'm sure it's not the first time that she's heard about it. She probably has no idea who started it though.
"Please sing! Just one song will do!"
"Yeah! Just one? I've heard that you sing like an angel. Please!?"
'I don't remember saying that, but it's a nice touch.'
"You're looking for a place to stay, right? If you sing, you can stay here for free. And you'll get our best rooms!"
"Yeah! Sing, Lily!"
Suigetsu yells and Lily looks at me and I nod. I see her sigh then smile.
"Alright, alright. You win. I'll sing."
Everyone started cheering as soon as she said that.
"Is she really that good, Sasuke?"
Suigetsu asks and I smirk.
"You'll see."
They quickly set up a stage and within minutes, the room was packed.
"Wow there's a lot of people here, don't you think so, Sasuke?"
I nod then walk to the back of the room.
"Here she is, everyone! Miss Lily!!"
Someone says and everyone starts screaming and cheering. Lily comes out with a few others. They went to the instruments, while Lily goes to the middle of the stage. She turns to the drummer and nods. Then the drummer starts playing.

~
"Wow that was awesome, Lily!! You're amazing!"
Suigetsu tells Lily once she's done.
"Thanks, Suigetsu! I'm gonna go get our rooms. I'll be right back."
Lily says then walks over to the check in then Suigetsu turns to me.
"It was you, wasn't it?"
"What are you talking about, Suigetsu?"
"You're the one that started the rumor about Lily, right?"
"No!"
I replied quickly, but I think a little to quick, 'cause Suigetsu gets a weird smirk on his face.
"Really... Are you sure about that, Sasuke?"
He asks as he keeps leaning closer and closer to me. I look around to make sure no one can hear us.
*Sigh* "Fine, I started the rumor. Happy now?"
"Almost... You like like her, don't you, Sasuke?"
I hold back a blush.
'How'd he find out? I never told anyone. I do like her, but I'm not gonna tells him. What should I say?'
"Sasuke! Suigetsu! Come on, I got our rooms!"
Lily yells from the other side of the room.
'Thank you, Lily! Perfect timing.'
"Alright! Let's go, Sasuke."
Suigetsu says and I nod. We both make our way over to Lily. When we get to her, she hands each of us a key.
"Here's the keys to your rooms. Suigetsu, you have room 156. Sasuke you have 157. Got it?"
"Yeah."
I say while looking at my key.
"Got it. Hey, Lily, what's your room number?"
Suigetsu asks as he spins his key on his finger.
"Umm.. 401."
"Isn't that the best room that they have!?"
"Yeah. They wanted me to use that room."
"Lucky! Switch with me, Lily! Please!"
Lily smirks then shakes her head.
"Nope! Well, I'm going to bed. Night, guys. See you tomorrow."
"Night, Lily."
We both say. Lily smiles then walks off.
"We should get some sleep to, Suigetsu."
"Yeah, yeah. Let's go."
(Lily's P.O.V)
I get up to my room and I see that it has a hot tub in it.
"Sweet!"
I lock the door behind me, stripped off my clothes, and got in the tub.
"Ahh this feels amazing!"
~
After staying in for a while, I get out and dry myself off and put my clothes back on. I walk over to the patio door and went outside. The breeze felt so nice and the sky only had a few clouds, so I could still see the moon and stars. The moon was full with an almost blood red color.
"This is beautiful. I wish it was like this every night."
I yawn and stretch.
"Guess it's time for me to go to bed."
I walk back in my room and close the door behind me. I get into my bed and quickly fall asleep.
