"Sasuke-kun, do you want…to get some…Sasuke-kun?" Sakura Haruno trailed off as she watched her crush rush out of the classroom.
'Was that a smile?' Sakura wondered, but shook her head and passed it off nothing.
"Ooi! Watch it, Teme!" Naruto shouted as he stumbled out of the Academy entrance.
Sasuke had slammed right into the orange-clad boy's shoulder and liked to have knocked the both down.
"Shut up, Usuratonkachi." Sasuke huffed out as he continued to run to his clan compound.
He was out of breath by the time he made it to the Uchiha Clan training area. Sasuke spotted his cousin waiting for him in the center of the training circle. Yami pulled out a couple of slips of paper and held one up for Sasuke to read.
"'Show me your Taijutsu stance.'" Sasuke read aloud and immediately did as told.
Yami circled around him, nudging Sasuke's feet a few more inches apart and lift his arms a couple of centimeters more. He touched up on small details that Sasuke had missed on account of having no one to teach him the stance correctly. Standing back in front of the smaller ravenette, Yami held his right arm out with his palm facing Sasuke. His left hand held up another sheet of paper.
"'Punch.'"
Sasuke followed through, frowning when his punch did nothing, not even jar a tremor out of Yami's hand. Yami nodded and Sasuke spotted the movement of the wraps covering his cousin's mouth. Yami was smiling or grinning or maybe even smirking at him. All Sasuke knew, was that he had pleased his cousin.
"'Attack.'"
Seeing as how his punch did nothing to hurt Yami, Sasuke began to attack his cousin with everything he had in his punches and kicks. Yami blocked every single one of Sasuke's limbs. This went on for an hour until Sasuke was nothing more than a sweaty, dirt covered mess. Yami motioned for Sasuke to follow him over to one of the trees in the training area.
Watch. Yami signed.
Trying to catch his breath, Sasuke nodded. The boy's eyes widened as he watched his cousin walk up the side of the tree before hanging upside down on a lower branch. Yami released the chakra on the bottom of his feet and dropped to the ground in a crouch.
Your turn. Yami motioned with his hands before holding up a slip of paper.
"'Too much, repeal off. Too little, slip off.'"
Narrowing his brows in concentration, Sasuke gave the tree walking exercise a shot. By the time the sun was setting, Sasuke had made it five solid steps up the trunk without falling. Yami's hands clamped down on Sasuke's shoulder when the boy wavered in his steps. With great reluctance, Sasuke listened to his cousin when he motioned for him to go inside and wash up. While Sasuke was taking a bath, Yami stepped back outside to catch the curious blonde and pink haired girls that were spying on his cousin's training ever since he arrived. The startled girls cried out in surprise at being caught, but did not run.
"We were only checking up on Sasuke-kun. He was acting strange and it worried us." The pink haired girl, whom Yami noted as Sakura Haruno, rushed out to explain.
Yami's eyebrow rose at how easily the girl gave up information. With a tilt of his head, he looked at the blonde haired girl who gapped up at him.
You should not enter another Clan's compound without permission nor witness personal training of Clan techniques. Yami signed slowly to the two girls.
Yami noticed that Sakura nodded, meaning she understood what he was saying without him having to simplify his hand signs. The blonde however had to look at her friend, who told her what Yami had said.
"O-oh, we're so sorry! We did not mean to. We won't tell anyone!" The blonde said quickly, her teal eyes widening at the repercussions one could have at being caught doing what the ravenette has signed.
"Ino? Sakura? What are you two doing here?" Sasuke spoke from the main house entrance behind them.
The girls let out another noise of surprise and spun around to face their crush. Sasuke's dark eyes were glaring at the two girls.
They said that they were worried about you. Yami signed to him.
He was pleased when Sasuke gave a stiff nod.
You learned the Shinobi Hand Codes quickly. I am impressed. Yami signed and watched as Sasuke's chest rose up with pride.
Giving a silent chuckle, Yami placed a hand on the two girls' hair, getting their attention.
Ask permission next time. It is getting late, so go on home. Yami told the two girls, which Sakura grabbed Ino's hand and went to leave after the two bowed.
"Um, wait. Who are you? I'm Sakura Haruno."
"And I'm Ino Yamanaka. We've never seen you around the village or…or here with Sasuke-kun."
"He's my cousin." Sasuke spoke up.
Yami Uchiha. Y-A-M-I. Yami signed and the two girls gapped together.
"My dad mentioned you!" Ino shouted, smiling up at Yami who blinked at the now blushing blonde. "He said you were one of the best ANBU Captains Konoha has ever had, but that you…" Ino trailed off and she shuffled uncomfortably under Sasuke's narrowed gaze.
"But he what, Ino?" Sakura asked, wanting to know.
"Um…nothing. Let's go, Forehead." Ino said and dragged the pinkette out of the compound.
Yami glanced down at Sasuke who was glaring at the ground. Yami patted the young boy on the head before going inside to make dinner
