shaggy fur, scratched his ears and he gradually made himself comfortable. Somehow the caress calmed me down and I no longer thought about meeting the ninja and Sasuke ...
The dog had already snuggled up to me and I enjoyed the affection he gave me, he trusted me!"Akamaru, come here!" It echoed from a corner of our camp. Both I and Akamaru raised our heads and looked in the same direction. There was this guy who had laughed at me. Akamaru hesitated briefly, which the guy did not miss and frowned he looked over at me, but the good little dog was already trotting to his master, who lifted him up on his head, gave me another frown and then turned to go .
When the two were out of my field of vision, I suddenly felt so alone, a strange feeling.

I wasn't alone for long, though, because Hinata came and got me for dinner. We sat down next to Choji, who was grinning broadly at me. Shikamaru handed me a soup bowl, which I gratefully accepted, as I hadn't got anything right into my stomach for the day. "Sui, tell me, how was it today with this ninja?, Choji turned to me interested. Immediately this stinging was there again. What should I say now, should I expose myself to them, tell the truth?" Well So it was like ... the ninja ... the ... ", I started." The ninja came out of his hiding place and since we had noticed him long before, she pretended to be weak. The shinobi was so sure that he would already have victory in his hands, so I attacked him from behind and killed him! ", a firm voice finished my sentence. I looked up and straight away into Sasuke's face, but his eyes weren't looking in my direction. He had just come out of the tent and now sat down with us, took a bowl of soup and was done with the conversation. Everyone looked at him, including me. Until it suddenly became clear to me. He had just saved me from having to tell the other the truth, ER who had told me I was too weak, ER who would had made nothing of me all day, why?Why did he do such things?
After Choji recovered, he turned back to me. "Really strong! You know what Sui, I've never seen you fight, don't you want to train with me?" I swallowed. But Shikamaru took over the answer for me. "Choji, we don't have time for that, tomorrow we have to go on straight away! That's why we should all go to sleep a little earlier!" Then Ino shook his head violently. "Out of the question, we girls wanted to go to the lake, which is very close here, and clean us up. That wouldn't hurt you guys either!" Sakura agreed. "That's right. We wanted to go to the lake." Then they got up. And then, unexpectedly, they came to me, hooked each other on my left and right and pulled me with them. Sakura turned her head again. "Are you coming Hinata?" Hinata got up a little surprised and followed us. The boys just looked after us with raised eyebrows and certainly thought "Typical girl!" I could also see how Sasuke looked after us out of the corner of his eye. Sasuke of all people!

In the group of four we now moved towards the lake.
Once there, the sugar-sweet smile on Ino's lips disappeared. “Tell me, what's going on between you and Sasuke ?!” She got pretty close to me and hissed it in my face. Strangely enough, I didn't flinch as it was usually the case, but stood firm, looked back firmly into her eyes and said: "What should go between us?" She was still glaring at me rather angrily. "I think you know that very well! Otherwise he would certainly never have finished your sentence! But you know, I'll only tell you one more time, keep your hands off him, he's mine!" At that moment Sakura turned angrily to Ino . "What do you mean" he is yours "? You have absolutely no right to him because he is on my team! So if anyone here has a right to Sasuke, then it's me!" "You are crazy! Sasuke doesn't like such broad-minded girls like you! "Ino snapped back. Immediately they were both back in their element and didn't feel anything outside. I turned to Hinata and grinned at her." Should we go for a swim while we're here, or shouldn't we ? "As if in response, I felt a drop on my nose. Then another. I raised my gaze to the sky - the thick rain clouds had finally opened after they had hung over us all day. The drops multiplied and it became one I made the two fighters aware of the rain with a brief touch, then nodded to Hinata. "Come on, let's run back so we don't get into the biggest thunderstorm! "She nodded and my legs and feet began to move. By themselves. It felt good to finally be able to move them as they were used to. The wind ruffled my hair and ruffled it. The drops got bigger and bigger and smacked my face, but I hardly felt it, because my body was flooded with the adrenaline that rose in me through the speed.However, halfway I braked and waited politely until the other three look at each other Then I - reluctantly - adjusted my pace again and we walked back to the camp. The three girls slipped into the girls' tent and I into my tent, where Shikamaru and Sasuke had already retired. Grinning, I looked at them with a dripping head. Both only gave me a brief look. Sasuke, who was lying on his back, with his arms crossed behind his head, then continued to examine the tent cover and Shikamaru leaned back over a game board. I knelt next to him. "Hey, you have Shougi with you ?!" I also leaned over the board, pleased. "Do we play a round together?"I hadn't played Shougi in a while." No, you can see that I'm trying to win against myself! ", he didn't even look at me with these words." Oh ... ", my voice couldn't have sounded more disappointed, but he ignored it. So I sank into the side of my tent and closed my eyes.

A rustling. I startled. At the same moment Sasuke was also startled and we both listened into the night. There, another rustling. Sasuke opened the tent quickly but quietly and we slipped out. As soon as we stood in the rain, which had still not let up, Sakura slipped out of the girls' tent. She must have heard it too. My original team probably had the best ears!
We stared hard at the black night. But the rain distorted the picture and we couldn't see anything. But suddenly something could be heard again, no more rustling, but something else. It had come out of the thick canopy of leaves. Sasuke gave us a sign and we scurried in that direction. But the one who was hiding there noticed us and fled. We reacted immediately and chased after him through the forest. A chase began, from tree to tree. But Sakura was too slow. Sasuke noticed it too. "Sakura stay here and wait, we'll try to push him back!" He called over his shoulder. She nodded and we hunted on, at an increased speed. I looked over at him. He could keep up with me, I liked that! However, I had not yet reached my top speed. A grin crossed my face, then I turned my head straight forward again. The shinobi was suddenly gone! "Damn it!" Came it from my side. "We have to go back to Sakura!" Sasuke called to me. I understood immediately. This ninja had noticed that our team had split up and was back to Sakura.What if he did something to her? Shocked, I raced in the opposite direction without paying any more attention to Sasuke. I was scared, scared for Sakura and my legs flew over the floor. "AHHHHH !!!", it came from the place where we had left Sakura. Indeed, the shinobi was about to attack Sakura. Strangely enough, there wasn't a small, ugly thing in me, in me I just felt the fear I was afraid of Sakura! I pulled out a kunai and threw it deliberately at the ninja’s arm. He stopped moving and looked at me. However, I could see how he pulled his shuriken in ambush. Shit, was he going to throw it at me? But already with his next move he betrayed himself and I could see that he wanted to throw it at Sakura! He couldn't do that! I was led by fear for Sakura. My features became expressionless and I slowly pulled my katana out of its sheath. I turned to him with a diabolical grin. At that moment Sasuke arrived, but I kept my eyes fixed on my victim. I jumped to him with two firm jumps - was right in front of his rigid body - and whispered to him: "Well, how did you decide? Do you want to die immediately, or may I play something with you?" His eyes widened in shock met and gave me an answer. He wanted to die immediately! I tossed him that grin again, then delivered a well-aimed blow. My katana slid cleanly through his flesh as I slit his torso in a cross shape. The blood splashed on my face, but I hardly noticed it. He gave me one last shocked look when I jerked my sword out again, then it toppled over and lay motionless. Slowly the blood oozed from his wound and covered the forest floor. The rain would soon have cleaned the stained forest floor, just as it was cleaning my face.I closed my eyes and put my sword back.
When I looked at Sakura, she was still frozen in shock and held her hand over her mouth. She stared at the ninja on the forest floor. When she noticed I was staring at her, she looked me in the face. Her eyes were so full of fear. I could feel that it wasn't because of this shinobi, but because of me! I quickly looked away from her. Sasuke was just about to turn the body over and examine it. "This ninja is not wearing a headband again. We can't find out where he came from and who has been following us all this time!" Neither I nor Sakura answered, so he straightened up again. “We should go back!” This time we both nodded and slowly, with Sakura in tow, we walked back to our camp.
It was still as peaceful as we had left it, as if nothing had ever happened! Sakura still didn't say a word. "Are you all right?" I asked worriedly. She just stared at me strangely again, nodded and disappeared into the girl's tent.
Sasuke and I were left standing alone in the rain. "Shall we search the area?" I asked him expertly. He shook his head. “It wouldn't do any good, I don't think we'd find anyone again!” Nodding, I agreed. Then he wanted to go back to our tent, but I held him back. “Sasuke,
