Note: So this is just rewritten with some changes but it is still Akatsuki Changed My Life. I hope that this one will be better and I do think it was a good idea to write in first person. I love third but I feel stories like this are better in first. I hope that you enjoy and if you have any comments please review. Also I do not own Naruto because if I did NaruHina would be a for sure thing and Deidara would have never died.
Chapter 1: My Boring Life Seems Less Boring
I sat at my desk in my fourth hour class thinking of the conversation that I had with my ex-boyfriend at lunch. I was being a whiner and saying that nothing ever interesting happened in my life. This wasn't really a lie considering my life felt rather boring to me. So being the sort of nice yet annoying guy he is he decided to shove a thought into my head that was unsettling to say the least.
"You know, this is the second time I heard you say that. Last time I told you something interesting was bound to happen now-" which it did, my brother collapses on the floor the next day after shoveling snow all over town for money. The idiot thought that with little to eat and drink while also being freezing cold to take a really hot bath. It didn't go well for him but we got him okay and nothing bad really happened.
"-so now I'm going to say the same thing. Saying that your life is boring means that now something interesting is bound to happen as a result of that. Tell me how it goes." After that the bell rung and we went to our classes. Stupid Kuma, he always did stuff like that. What really irritates me is the fact that he's always right too. So something interesting is supposed to happen today or tomorrow. I sighed and tried to focus but found it hard to do in Algebra two. I mean come on, when will I use this stuff anyways?! It all seemed useless to me.
I sighed and leaned back in my chair and looked over at the clock at the far end of the room. The larger hand was on the two and the smaller on the nine. I smiled to myself wanting to jump for joy. Only five more minutes left and then it was spring break! Our system is really weird and instead of doing an exam before spring break we do it after. It's a pain and I forget almost everything anyways when we come back. Math was not my strong suit in the least.
I glanced around and saw other kids slowly packing up much to the teacher's annoyance. But even she seemed ready to get out of here and go off on vacation. I never did. Spring break was awful for me every year. It wasn't that I disliked having the break but every year something bad happened within the family or to me in general. Three years ago I cut my toe open and needed stitches; on top of that my best friend Arte was moving. The year after that I got a kidney infection and nearly died. Then last year my mother injured her knee rather badly; so what was in store for this year?
"Probably get attacked by a bird or something." I muttered and packed up a minute before the bell went off. I got up as other kids ran out the door as the bell rung. I wasn't in as much of a hurry but I knew my brother would be. He graduated last year and was in charge of driving me around since I didn't even have a permit yet. I walked out of the room after saying goodbye to my math teacher Mrs. Morgan.
I hurried out the door and then went out back by the art department and circled around the back of the school where a parking lot was. I jogged to my brother's car tossing my bag carelessly into the backseat and hopping up front.
"Hey Ralph." I said to my brother and he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive home.
"Do you have money? If you do we can stop at chic-fil-a and get some food. I only have about six dollars on me." Ralph said. I reached into my wallet and counted my money.
"Sure, I have ten dollars so we'll have enough to get food for the both of us. Mom and dad are leaving tonight to go to Las Vegas for two weeks so they're probably leave both of us some money too." I said and handed him the money I had on me as he went into the drive through and ordered our food. He got us both chicken and fries and I opened mine and started eating on the way home.
"Well I'm going to start eating now since I'm famished. Do you want your food now or later?" I asked, he shrugged and seemed to actually think about it for a minute.
"I can just have mine when we get home. It won't be that long of a wait anyways. So yea, I'll wait." Ralph said. I looked over at him and ate one of my fries as I waited for him to crack. It didn't take long either because about a minute later he told me to hand him his fries. We got home about ten minutes later and walked in. No one else was there since our siblings lived on their own now and mom and dad were still working for about another hour or two.
Ralph went down stairs and I plopped down onto the couch and turned on the tv while I ate my food in silence. After awhile I got bored of the show I was watching and switched to "A Haunting" and laid down on the couch as I watched. My blanket and pillow were already there since that's where I usually slept at night. It might of seemed odd to choose a couch over a bed but I felt like the couch was more comfortable. Besides there was a big tv out here as well so it made things even better.
After about an hour and a half my dad came home and rushed to his room to get packed. I walked over and talked to him for a moment before he told me that he picked up fifty bucks for my brother and myself and that we each got twenty-five to do whatever we wanted with. That mom wanted to take us to the store so I had to be ready to go when she got here in fifteen minutes. It was four-twenty-one and their plane was in Denver and they had to leave here by seven to get there before eight-thirty.
The rest of the night passed by fairly quickly; my mom took my brother and I grocery store shopping and we got pizza, pizza rolls, chicken, hamburger, hot dogs, corn dogs, poptarts, two packs of soda, amongst other things and then we got home at six. My parents were focused on getting ready so my brother made dinner since I wasn't much of a cook. They ate quickly hugged us goodbye and off they went to the airport. They told us that they would send us a message before they boarded the plane and when they landed. I watched their car pull away and go down the street before I walked inside and went back to the kitchen and put away any leftover food.
My brother was down stairs playing video games and I went and worked on some writing for my creative writing class for when I came back after break. I glanced at the clock ever so often and at seven forty-three I went out to the living room and watched tv to defeat my boredom.
"I wish something would happen to defeat this boredom. I doubt Ralph wants to play board games. Then again it's not that much fun with only two people. But he wouldn't play anyways." I sighed to myself as I went to On-Demand from Comcast and went to tv shows then to "A Haunting" and clicked a random episode to watch.
Slowly I could feel my eyes becoming heavier as the woman on the show explained her story. How she felt and what they were doing. Things like: we thought it wasn't real, we were imagining it and so we kept it to ourselves. We didn't want to be the crazy people. It was sort of sad to hear it, to hear that people couldn't rely on each other for help without feeling like they were crazy. That was the last thing I remembered thinking of before my eye lids finally covered my eyes and I snuggled into my pillow.
Slowly I could feel myself waking up. There was a light buzzing in my head and a grogginess that settled over me. It felt rather cold like someone had left the windows open. My phone was laying beside me as I realized I never plugged it in. I checked the battery as a bright light washed over my face and temporarily blinding me for a moment. I was turning down the brightness setting on my phone when I heard a voice.
"It looks like one of the house's inhabitants has awoken." The voice was deep and almost silky sounding. I froze up knowing that it was not the voice of any of my brothers and it certainly sounded male. My eyes met with red and everything went dark.
Note: I'm going to try and update more often but I cannot promise that for I am a busy person. However I will NOT abandon this story without telling the viewers first. So don't worry about that.
