I stayed still, my heart pounding like crazy.
Naruto… and Sasuke… right there, in front of me.
It felt unreal, like a dream come true—or maybe a nightmare, considering how completely lost I was.
Their eyes locked onto each other.
Naruto took a hesitant step toward Sasuke, his lips trembling.
— "You… you came back?"
Sasuke looked away slightly.
— "Hn… Tch, don't say something stupid."
That cold tone, that stare… it was exactly like in the anime.
But hearing it in real life was something else.
My stomach tightened. I wanted to scream, cry, laugh… all at once.
Okay, calm down. Breathe. You're literally in the middle of one of the most iconic moments of the entire series… Breathe!
*Well… maybe…*
I took a step back, trying not to draw attention, but Naruto suddenly turned his head toward me.
— "Hey! You there! Are you with him?"
— "What?! No, no, no! I… I'm just… uh… lost?"
Great. The girl who ends up in the Naruto world and doesn't even know how to lie properly. Bravo, me.
Sasuke shot me a cold look, as if he was trying to figure me out.
A shiver ran down my spine.
— "Tch… Another idiot who doesn't know where she's stepping."
— "Excuse me?! Seriously…!"
Naruto frowned.
— "Sasuke, don't be like that! Maybe she needs help!"
And there, right between the two of them, in that tense silence…
I realized just how hard it was to be between them!!
*What kind of story is this?! I don't even know where WE are ! *
