Third person pov (just for part of this chapter)
6 Hours, 30 minutes and too many seconds had passed by
Not a word spoken between the two
With their only luck the rain had stopped pouring down and the sun was now going away and soon it was going to be dark-out. The water flow was still in their desired direction, flowing rabidly and it only seemed to pick up since the storm was so strong before. Sasuke knew they would be back in the village in a week, and he honestly couldn’t wait. If things had of gone better he wouldn’t find it hard to talk to someone who he was escorting back to his home, but things weren’t going as good as they were just earlier this morning.
He’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel guilty about rejecting her, or at least he thought he rejected her. He wished he wouldn’t have done that with someone like her. Not because of blindness, but she played an important part between their villages. He didn’t want any bad blood between the two of them; because he was ordered to make sure she was comfortable and try to be as nice as possible as the Hokage had put it.
He didn’t plan on being this way with her and he didn’t like it or the lack of self-control to his own desires, not only as a man
But as a human being
Kira who had prayed that Sasuke wouldn’t dare make conversation with her and hoped that things would continue on smoothly, but they weren’t going as smoothly as she had planned.
She felt his stare on her, pushing one leg over the other. She tried her best to ignore it and pretend like she didn’t want to ask him about what had happened earlier
Kira yawned with exhaustion; using her other senses to ‘see’ for her always wore her down by the end of the day. It’s was hard for her being in darkness all the time and quietly crying when it all seemed like it was too much for her to handle, the burden too heavy to bear.
Kira not only held the burden of being blind, but also the burden of revenge and hatred.
But she would never tell her true plans…
Sasuke Pov
It was hard sitting here and not being able to talk as freely as before, I had opened my mouth to speak but the words didn’t come. They seemed nothing but a whisper if they had never even left my mouth, which wasn’t happening anytime soon. I was back to trying to be a stone cold person because I felt that was the only way I could live, without feeling the loss of someone or having to go through the motions.
Mostly I found myself living in regret
I hated it
“Sasuke?” Kira questioned and I nearly 'nearly' was caught off guard by the sudden action of speaking to me. “What is it?” I asked coldly
I didn’t mean to come off so dark and distant but my tone didn’t change, I wasn’t sure how to be nice because that was giving up too much. I found all the nice things, I was doing without thinking about it; to be small things, that I just couldn’t see myself doing anymore….yet I liked doing them for certain people.
“Why do you stare at me?” She asked and this time I was caught completely off guard….act normal, act normal, act normal
Keep your cool, Sasuke
Kira’s Pov
Creeper…creeper…creeper
“Well?” I questioned
“I’m not staring at you; you’re unknowingly staring at me” He said sounding proud of him-self and I heard that tone in his voice…he wants to argue with me
“Oh really? I’m staring at you? And what exactly would I be 'looking' at, Sasuke?” I asked
“You would be looking at!” He paused “ a lot, to be honest”
“You can’t be serious…” I trailed off “You look like a woman” -“Hey how would you even know?”
“So I’m correct?” I giggled “No”
I really did know how to piss him off, it was this great ability of mine. It seemed.
“Well you never answered my question!” I stated waiting for him to tell me why
“Yes I did, you’re the one who is obsessed with me” –“Obse-ssed?” I beamed with anger
“You heard me”
“Sasuke…you’re the arrogant creeper!”
“Arrogant creeper? Now, now, Ms. Naïve don’t try to flatter me”
“I’M NOT NAÏVE” I shouted hearing my echo throughout the ocean. “Hn I really bother you that much, huh?” I could hear the cockiness in his voice just overflowing.
“More than you will ever know” Kira whispered, so lowly she didn't think Sasuke heard her
Third person pov
“More than you will ever know” Kira had lightly whispered, her words unknowingly made Sasuke somewhat happy, finding that he liked to argue with Kira and though he never admitted it to her, he liked her too.
But he’d never admit that…
~ An~ So I’m going to do a bit of a time skip, now that I hope everyone has the idea on how their trip went. So this is going to skip to Sasuke and Kira arriving.
Kira’s Pov
The sounds of laughter, playful arguments, talking, walking, running and so many more great things filled my ears, I smiled at the sounds. We were finally at the leaf village and it sounded as beautiful as I was told it was. No matter how much I wished I could see the village for myself, I knew that would never be possible. Sasuke who was right next to me announced just seconds ago that we had arrived, as if I didn’t already know.
We had been back to our small arguments, and the awkwardness had slowly went away and faded off to the land of the forgotten. So basically it only bothers me at night when I think about how Sasuke and I had touched lips. I wasn’t obsessed but I liked knowing that a blind girl can dream, and I liked knowing that the old bullies in my village were…wrong.
I had my first kiss, even if he did regret it.
Even if it never happened again, I was content.
But I was also very closed off and nervous and scared….and…and…its too much.
Too many people, too much going on, too many sounds
I can't keep up with them
I don’t know whats happening, I can’t understand. My mind couldn’t wrap myself around anything and before I knew it, the world of darkness had started to bring me to a world of sleep. My legs buckled beneath me and I could no longer keep myself together….I wanted to go home, but I couldn’t.
“I can’t handle it….”
“Kira?” Sasuke's voice faded "Kir-!"
*
“What happened?” The fifth Hokage had screamed pushing herself away from her desk
“Sasuke….”
“Oh man…you hurt the Raikaga’s daughter” Naruto said earning a punch to the arm “I did no such thing, she passed out”
Tsunade was checking Kira; who was now laid on her office floor, for injuries and proved that she had just passed out “She’s fine, she probably just got stressed…but under your care” she spoke now standing up and making eye contact with me.
“You three better make sure that the Raikaga’s daughter is comfortable with her visit here, in meaning. No pranks, Naruto. No rudeness, Sasuke, and Sakura, be nice” The fifth said looking at us all before excusing us.
I held Kara bride style as she laid unconscious in my arms “So we’ll just be dropping her off at her apartment, since she’s not awake?” Naruto asked, I nodded in response
I would be speaking with the Hokaga later about how the mission 'really' went and unfortunately as much as Kira didn’t want me too, I had to tell the Hokage about her eyes and the other things she had informed me of.
In a way…I felt like I was betraying her
