My "inner strength"

Chapter 8

After school, Kakashi was already standing by the car. "Where's the book?" He welcomed me. “Which book?” I looked at him innocently. We both got in the car. "Hey, I had to teach the rest of the day today," Kakashi said. "No, honestly ?! With your job, teacher, that's really bad too." I replied poisonously. “Here, you are welcome to have it again.” I put the book on his lap. “Thank you.” Kakashi glanced down at the book and blushed. "You uh ... you haven't read it, have you ?!" "Don't worry, one sentence was enough for me." Grinning, I glanced at the book. Kakashi stopped in front of the house. “We're there.” He quickly picked up the book and got out of the car. I followed him into the house and went to my room. Once there, I tossed my school bag in the corner and sat on my bed. Maybe I should write Naruto, I thought. I took out my cell phone and saw that I had a new message. It was from Sasuke: "We train today at 4:00 pm!" I sighed and looked at the clock. Well then I had to go straight away. "Kakashi!" I yelled through the house. A few seconds later he was standing in front of me. "What is it?" "You have to drive me to the training ground," I said and looked at him lovingly. He groaned annoyed. "Ok, come on then." "Carry me!" I uttered softly. "You have two healthy legs, run yourself!" Replied Kakashi. "I don't want to!" I nagged. Kakashi looked at me annoyed, but then carried me to the car. Before that, he took my shoes and jacket with him. I put both on in the car. “Call me when I should pick you up.” After this sentence he drove away again. I looked around the square. I was probably the first here. Exhausted, I plopped down on one of the large stones. I didn't know why I was exhausted. I took out my cell phone and texted Naruto: "Do you have time tomorrow? Need some distraction." Today, distraction would have been good for me too, but I have to exercise. “Oh, already there?” I looked up from my cell phone into Gaara's surprised face. "Yes, Kakashi drove me in the car," I replied. He nodded. "Should we start already?", Gaara asked me. I got up sullenly. "All right ..." "The best thing is to get your weapons out so I can show you the basics of everything.", Gaara then said. "Guns ?! I have no weapons!" "Not even a single one? You have to commit to something!", He said. "And you don't have chakra ..." I smiled at him apologetically. He was right. "Where can you buy weapons?" I asked conciliatory. "Almost everywhere. You can have someone show you a good shop." Suggested Gaara. I nodded like it was the most normal thing in the world to buy guns as a teenager. Tomorrow I could go and buy some with Naruto. "Well, then you should first warm up and build up a few muscles."Gaara looked down at my slim body." I'm not that weak at all! "I defended myself." Good, then do 10 push-ups. "demanded Gaara." Don't go ...! ", I muttered sourly." And why not? "he then asked." I'm too weak ... "I whispered very softly." What, I didn't understand you! "Gaara put a hand to his ear, although of course he understood me." I'm too weak, okay ?! "I yelled. He pulled his hand away and looked satisfied." That's why we're doing strength training. "" I understand ... "Gaara pushed me to the floor." Hey! “I looked at him angrily from below.” The best thing to do is to start with a few sit-ups. "I lay down on the grass and started with what Gaara had told me. After seven sit-ups I was already done. Gaara was probably right that I was weak. I slowly got up again. From a closer distance, I saw Sasuke coming. "Hey, here comes - ..." "I know! “Gaara didn't seem very enthusiastic.” Don't you like each other? ", I asked, but Gaara was up in a tree again and was training for himself. Obviously not, I thought to myself." I was a little late. ", Sasuke said indifferently when he came up to me. I nodded." Gaara, is already on the tree and doing ... "I looked up at him for a moment." ... Tree supports ...? "He was hanging on the tree doing some kind of sit-ups or push-ups." Anyway, what do we start with today? Gaara has already done some strength training with me. "Sasuke thought for a moment. He didn't really care, but Gai had told us we had to survive as a team, so the two of them were forced to teach me something. Otherwise they would fail." Do you have weapons with you? ", Sasuke finally asked. As if caught in the act, I looked at the floor." Phew ... then you will have to try to find your chakra. ", Sasuke decided." Good, but there is a little problem: I don't have one! "" I said yes also find! "he said." Ok, I'll try. But it won't work. "I sat down on the grass and looked up at Sasuke expectantly. He sat across from me. We both sat cross-legged." Now you have to concentrate very hard. Soon you will find a strength in you that you just have to release. ", said Sasuke. I closed my eyes and tried to go inside. After five minutes, I still couldn't find anything." That doesn't work! "I moaned." Sh! ", Sasuke hissed at me." It's good ... "I closed my eyes again and looked for my ... chakra ...! Yes, I was really looking for an inner strength. One that wasn't even existed. That immediately proved I didn't belong here. No, I just didn't fit in here! Everyone could do something that wasn't normal. More like supernatural. And I was happy if I managed to jog around the gym. That made me really angry! Sure, I didn't know anything about it, but ... Oh man!Why me? it shot through my head the whole time. There were so many people who wouldn't mind if their life was messed up, so why me ?! Suddenly, I felt something in my hands. Immediately I opened my eyes and looked down at her. "My hands are glowing! Sasuke, what did you do ?!" "I didn't do anything. It was you!", He simply claimed. “My hands are glowing, I'm burning!” Sasuke started to laugh, just like Gaara. I had never seen them laugh before ...! "Do something!" I shouted. "You're not burning up!" Said Gaara, who was the first to recover. "Hm?" He was right, it didn't even hurt me. "But ... w-what ...?" "This is your chakra.", Sasuke explained to me. "M-m-my ... chakra?" I let my gaze wander over my hands again. "Yes. You have to learn to deal with it now.", Gaara reported again, who had finally jumped from the tree. "I just didn't even know that I had something like that, I definitely can't handle it! And how do I get the glow off again?" I grumbled. "Have you ever tried blowing?" Gaara smiled wryly. "Even I'm not that stupid," I replied. "But tell me now! I can't go to school tomorrow with glowing hands!" "Unfortunately I don't know either ...", Gaara regretted. "And you?" I asked Sasuke hopefully. He just shook his head. "But, it's Saturday tomorrow, so at least you don't have to go to school.", He tried to cheer me up. In response, I just shrugged my shoulders indifferently. My mood had changed significantly. I wasn't as angry as I was before. When I glanced at my hands again, the glow was gone. “It stopped ...” “What?” I put my hands in front of Gaara’s face. “Well the glow!” He gently pressed my hands back down. "How did you do that?" He asked then. "No idea, I just wasn't angry anymore, that's when it stopped ..." "But I can't imagine that your chakra has anything to do with your mood ...", Sasuke considered. "It doesn't matter. Are we finished with training for today?" I really hoped so, because I really didn't feel like it anymore. "As far as I'm concerned," said Gaara. Sasuke nodded in agreement. “Cool, I'll call Kakashi then.” I quickly took out my cell phone and dialed his number. My two team members, waited and looked at me the whole time. Confused, I looked up from my cell phone: "You can go." "Are you sure? It's getting dark." Sasuke looked worriedly at the sky. "Sure, I'm already grown up." I replied. "Well ... see you on Monday then." Gaara disappeared into the darkness. Sasuke hesitated. "Go on, I'll be fine on my own." I assured him. "If you mean ..." He took a few steps away, then glanced back at me again. He stopped walking. "Kakashi will be there soon, don't worry."I crossed my arms impatiently in front of my chest. Sasuke hesitated one last time, then the darkness swallowed him too. I stared briefly in the direction in which he had disappeared to make sure that he was really gone. After that, I stared I turned my attention back to my cell phone. I had already dialed the number, now I just had to press the green field. My finger was almost touching the small field in the corner when I heard a noise. It was a rustle that stopped came to the forest. Immediately I let my hand drop again and put the cell phone in my pocket. "I asked uncertainly into the darkness. The rustling came closer." That's not funny! Come out! "Still no person appeared on the scene. I swallowed and took a few steps back. Suddenly a hand closed around my mouth and a kunai rested on my neck. I didn't dare to speak, let alone move. Fearful, I looked up." the kunai. My heart was pounding wildly, so it started to ache in my chest. I couldn't defend myself, I didn't have enough strength. However, I tried to bite the finger of the person behind me. After a while I succeeded even, but my kidnapper didn't seem to mind. Sure, if he was a ninja. Suddenly my hand came off my mouth. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't do it. Instead, everything around me went black ...
