The Quest [ Sasuhina Fanfic ]

Chapter 8 •Choice• part 1

Sasuke

The old man appeared out of nowhere asking Hinata and I to choose but to choose what ? A road?
"These roads are nothing but an illusion young lad, choosing one of them is not the task." As if reading my mind the elder man spoke in a baffling tone,
"Then what IS the task?"
At my question the old man gave a mischievous smile before speaking agian,
"This fruit.." He took out a bloody red apple from the inside pocket of his long black coat and continued,
"only one can eat it..take it or leave it but be warned it is your only way out of here."
"whoever eats the fruit can leave..."
I heard Hinata mumble bearly catching what she said,
"it looks like for once i know something that the bookworm doesn't know" I smiled to myself at that thought,
"5....4....3.." brushing his devil's fork beard the old man started counting calmly,
"w-wait ! what will happen if we don't choose ?!" Hinata asked,
"2.....1.." he contnuied counting with a vexatious smile,
"I-i'll choose!" Hinata shouted in a wobbly tone clearly shaken but not me I've already made my decision,
"perfect...just before I finished counting" The old man spoke in an amused tone,
"Come forth and choose, young lads."
Hinata looked down hesistant but just before she could take another step I walked past her and stood in front of the old man,
"S-sasuke..?"
"I choose..."

*Note : Hello everyone! I've decided to add the name of the person who is speaking ( the person's point of view) like in the beginning of this chapter so no one would get confused. Cause in the upcoming chapters it might start getting confusing. Thank you for reading ~
