Lily's POV
Bad things happen. It was inevitable, and a normal occurrence in life. We just had to learn to adapt to a situation before it adapts to us. There was no way around it, unless you consider running away an option.
Sometimes, like this point in my life, these bad things become a regular occasion. As if they were schedule one after another. Once I was finish dealing with one incident, another one was in a hurry to get in my way. It was becoming frustrating, and I think this one might take the cake.
Ten minutes. These two idiots couldn't have given me atleast ten minutes. How did everything escelate so quickly? One minute I was thanking a rambunctious Naruto, next minute I'm watching him hurdle towards Sasuke with a blue-chakra infused ball of wind. Sasuke wasn't bettering the situation either, seeing there was lightning emanating from his hand, chirping dangerously.
The Rassengan, and the Chidori. Were they even thinking at this point? I clenched my fist and shook my head vigorously. I can judge their recklessness later. I had to stop this at once.
My eyes widen, "No!" Sakura screamed, running towards them. Guess we're all going to decide to act like idiots from now on. This is going way to far.
I ran up, and jumped into the air, deciding to stop the collision between the two attacks from above. My vines were about to appear, but I stopped when Kakashi suddenly appeared.
He grabbed the two boys' wrist and spun them around, launching them over to two water tanks. Their attacks, colliding with the tanks instead.
A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I landed in a crouch position in front of him. I could feel his gaze on me, but I didn't look up. The ground was all I wanted to see at the moment, because I was afraid of what I would see. He was most likely giving me a look that said, 'that was stupid of you' with a tint of concern.
After a few moments of staring at me he disappered. Most likely he was checking to see if I was okay in those few moments. Maybe what I did was more impulsive than what Sakura chose to do. I didn't even know how I was going to stop them. All I knew was that I had to stop them somehow, atleast before they severely injured themselves. Or worst...
Finally out of my shock, I looked up, only to be consumed by it again. Sasuke had a hole that covered the whole front of his tank. Naruto, however only managed to make a small crater, water gracefully pouring out of it.
Sasuke smirked, and I glared at him. Oh, I was pissed. Not just at him, but also at Naruto who moronically engaged into this battle.
No, that was an understatement, I was beyond pissed, and if one more mindless action is committed, or word is uttered I'm going to lose it. So, all of them better go on how they deal with this situation wisely. Because they'll end up being on the other end of my wrath.
Really, I was clueless on how to feel at this moment. It was one of those situations where you just don't know how to react. I was too overwhelmed to do so. I was relieved that no one was hurt, and that Kakashi arrived at the nick of time to end it. But, I was also terrified, shocked, worried, and angered. My heart felt like it was beating at one hundrend miles per hour, and it'll soon fly out of my chest.
Kakashi's, next words didn't make me feel any better. "What has gotten into you two? That match was too intense to just be a sparring match."
'Ya think?!' I screamed, but the words never left my mouth. That's what I wanted do more than anything rigth now: to just scream what I couldn't say.
"Sasuke!" He scolded, "The size of that Chidori isn't the size that you would aim at a comrade. What were you thinking?"
'Were any of us even thinking properly at the time?' Once again the words were banging on a dam that was forcefully keeping them from gushing out.'And how about let's not aim any fatal jutsu at a comrade! Why the hell did any of this have to happen in the first place? There was no reason for it. Were they really that deluded by their egos that they nearly almost-'
"Lily!" I was snapped out of my inner panicking by Kakashi. I must've blocked out the conversation, or more so the lecture he was feeding the boys."Calm down. You have to act-"
"Calm down?" I snapped, standing up. It was then that I realized I was actually shaking."Oh, yes! Let's all close our eyes, and when we open them all of the bad things that just happen will go away!"
I closed my eyes for two seconds, and opened them. "Yep, everything is fine! Only we have two idiots that nearly killed eachother, the two idiots who are supposed to be bestfriends. Yeah everything is just peachy, I shouldn't be concerned. So, go ahead Sensei, I'll just be here calming down."
He stared down at me, and I just glared at the ground. I regretted yelling at him, but I couldn't help it. Still I had no excuse for it... I sighed and gave him an apologetic look, which he accepted with a curt nod. Kakashi knew that none of my anger was directed towards him.
Sasuke then decided that he no longer wanted to hear any of us. So, he backflipped off the building like the narcissistic egomaniac he was. I heard him hit the wall with his fist, and muttered something I didn't quite hear, but it was clear that he was frustrated. It was then that I noticed the front of Naruto's tank was deceiving, and the back of it was torn off.
Kakashi appeared in front of Sakura, and placed a reassuring hand on her head. "It's okay Sakura, everything will be back to normal soon."
Then he walked over to me, but I shook my head,"Don't." He placed a hand on my shoulder, and I forced myself to looked up at him this time.
"Just grit your teeth and stop stressing. You're only working yourself up." I nodded, and decided to atleast try to do as he says. I atleast owed him that.
When he left, Naruto walked over to us. I expected him to just walk past, and choose to go cool off, but that's not what happened. "Look, Lily..... Sakura.... Whatever happens, it's between Sasuke and I..."
A serious expression grew on his face,"So just stay out of it." He growled. Sakura stayed quiet, but Sasuke and Naruto have been pushing my patience for way too long. Sorry Sensei....
"That's it!" I yelled, causing them both to look up at me. I glared at Naruto, "That isn't your call. We have our own minds, and if you decide to fight Sasuke with the intent to kill, then expect me to intervene. As soon as you and Sasuke stepped into this team, Team Seven, your problems automatically became our problems. We deal with things together, not go on our sepeartate ways and see who can find a solution first. So consider this a warning Naruto, next time don't be surprised when I beat you and Sasuke to a pulp becuase you almost killed eachother."
With that I walked off, done for the day. Basil is probably worried by now, and I might as well go and vent to him. He will want to know what happened anyway, besides he won't say anthing to piss me off. Not now he won't, he knew better than to do so...
******* Time Skip******
Sasuke's POV
I knew what I was going to do now. Being here and creating these so called bonds have only distracted me from my real goal. I will take on my role of an avenger and kill Itachi. That's my only purpose for living, and I allowed myself to forget. I am weak because of that, so going to him is my only solution. Orochimaru will give me the power I need.
A knock was at my door, and I stared at my clock. It was ten o' clock, and I was going to leave in an hour or so. I sauntered over to the door and opened it to see Lily.
"If you're here to yell or beg, don't try." I said, shoving my hands into my pockets.
"Beg?" She questioned, furrowing her brows. I internally scolded at myself. I assumed that she would know what I was going to do next, and was here to beg me to stay.
"Just tell me what you want." I hissed, not only growing impatient, but trying to cover up what I had said.
"Sasuke, listen." She said, and suprised me by not refering to me by last name. I saw that her eyes were filled with raw emotions, and most of them weren't posotive. I was almost concerned at the sight of the dark rings under her eyes, evidently signifying she hasn't been sleep well. But I reminded myself that I shouldn't even care. It's her problem, after today she and the others will be nothing to me.
"I'm going off on a mission in a few minutes." She stated.
"And? Why are you telling me this?" I rose a brow."I couldn't care less."
She flinched, too tired of yelling to glare at me,"Please, j-just don't do anything stupid... I care about you, Naruto, and Sakura too much for anything else to happen. You guys are apart of my family.... I love you all." She placed her hands on my shoulders, and looked me straight in the eyes. "Just remember that what you do won't just affect you, but all of us... Try and save us the pain."
Then she backed up, "Lily, just go... Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, I'm fine." She nodded, but knew fully well that I was lying.
"Bye, Lily." I said, knowing this time it will be permanent. There was a feeling inside of me, and I somehow knew that Lily wasn't ready to say goodbye, but she didn't know that I was leaving. That fact however, didn't stop her from making her feel uncomfortable when saying the words.
So she merely stuck with,"See you later." Then turned around, as I watched her walk off. She was oblivious that this was our final goodbye, and if we do reunite... Everything will be different.
Well, what did you guys think? I know it took a while to update, but... Yeah I have no excuse XD. Anyways let's leave my lack of punctuality alone and go to the....
Fun Fact Of The Chapter
Keep this in mind. In the next chapter Lily will have her hair up. Also before she left she had Basil cut her hair back to mid-back. And yes he is still recovering, but at their apartment, considering Sasuke was supposed to be doing the same but he loves to screw things up so...
