A Love worth Living for?
Chapter 1
An Average Day
It was an average day for Natsuko in the akatsuki. It was quiet, not the kind of quiet that you enjoy the kind of quiet you think something is going to pop up quiet. She wasn't really that type she liked the noise around her, she liked the laughter of children and dogs barking at small animals. Even her annoying mom yelling at her because she wasn't back on time for dinner. But here it was just silence, all the members where doing their own thing. It seemed to her that she was alone, no one else existing. Natsuko started trying to cough just to break the strange silence that crept around her.
She wasn't really the unnecessary noise kind of girl. She was rather very beautiful and acted very mature for 19 years old. She had light brown wavy hair that reached mid back and that was usually always kept up in a pony tail. She had a flawless face, smooth skin, big hazel eyes and a straight super white smile that would brighten up a room. She also wore black eyeliner and mascara and pink blush that made her look like a supermodel. She was also rather tall and really skinny. She didn't look like she belonged in the Akatsuki, everyone looked mean with strange faces while Natsuko looked like a beautiful innocent young girl. She shifted awkwardly on her small bed in her room that would look strange to others. She was wearing a black tank top with baggy gray sweats with pink socks. She didn't feel like getting dressed today, no one was doing anything so she had no reason to.
She joined the akatsuki well because she wanted to. She told them that her life was boring and needed entertainment, even though no one liked that answer they let her join anyways. And ever since she joined it was just as boring as at her home. Nothing was happening, except missions, so she often thought about going back meaning there was no difference anyhow. Natsuko was rather good at fighting, having strong legs are arms for attacking anyone and never backed down no matter how big the person was. She was the only child of her family so she liked constant attention on her, meaning when she talked everyone had to listen or she would have a fit. She never liked being treated like a kid though, always thinking of herself very mature at a young age.
She eventually got tired of sitting in her oh so boring room and decided to walk around, at least something interesting had to be going on. She sat up and locked her bedroom door because some of the members were known to sneak in her room when she was gone. She walked down the hall humming some random tune in her head looking for anyone out of their rooms. She turned down a few halls to the main room where everyone would hang out, if they did. When she walked into the room she saw Zetsu sitting down doing, nothing.
Zetsu was a strange guy, he was half white and half black with yellow eyes and green hair. He also had some strange plant thing going over his head which just made him look weirder, at least to Natsuko. Also he rarely talked to anyone and if he did it was very short conversations and he looked at you strange when he talked which always gave her a weird feeling, not a good one.
She walked over to him and sat next to him. He just looked over at her like he does to anyone else that tries to talk to him.
"Hey Zetsu." Natsuko said smiling.
"Can I help you with something Natsuko?" Zetsu asked roughly.
She frowned," No you cannot, I just wanted to say hi to my friend." She said smiling again.
"Well hi, and I'm not your friend, I have no friends." Zetsu replied.
"Wow Zetsu, no friends, aren't you lonely?" Natsuko said grinning.
"No I'm not, what is this fifty questions about Zetsu, why are you talking to me, you usually avoid me, you're with your cool friends." He said.
"How dare you say that about me, I never ignore you, name the last time I talked to you." She said sure of herself.
"Never." Zetsu replied.
"So." Natsuko said.
"That means you never talked to me, which means you were ignoring me." He said.
"That is not true, I just never got a chance, yet…" She said.
"And now I did so I'm talking to you right?" Natsuko continued.
"Yes you are, but probley because you're bored and everyone else is ignoring you, am I right?" Zetsu said.
"Maybe." She said now feeling guilty.
"Exactly." Zetsu said now starting to walk away.
She ran over to him. "Wait, Zetsu." She said.
"What now Natsuko?" He asked.
"I just wanted to say sorry, I guess." Natsuko said.
"Ok." Zetsu said and walked into him room and closed the door in her face.
"Wow Zetsu is such a meanie." She thought.
"I never ignored him, well at least not on purpose." She thought cheering herself up.
She started walking back to her room when she saw Sasori walking towards her, it didn't look like he saw her, he was looking down when he was walking so she started walking over to him.
"Sasori!" Natsuko yelled then jumped on him which knocked him down.
"Ow Natsuko, why did you do that, are you hyper or something?" Sasori asked standing up.
"No I'm not I was just happy to see my friend." She said.
"Yeah yeah ok whatever you say." He said.
"Really, I'm your friend!" She said.
"Yeah whatever makes you happy." Sasori said.
"Yay, you're my friend." Natsuko said then hugged him.
"Are you in hugging mode or something?" He said pulling away.
"Aww you don't like hugs Sasori?" She asked.
"Answer mine first Natsuko, I hate it when you do that." Sasori said.
"Ok, I dunno maybe." She said. "Now answer mine."
"No I don't actually." Sasori said. "So you better not do it again."
"Fine sorry dad." She said smiling.
"What do you mean by dad?" He asked.
"Well you are old and crusty, and dads are usually old and sometimes crusty." Natsuko said laughing.
"I am not old, and defiantly on crusty." He said.
"Yeah you are." Natsuko said.
"That's it, I'm not your friend anymore." Sasori said.
"What?!" She said. "Will you be my friend if I said…"
"That you were my bestest friend in the whole wide world?" Natsuko said.
"Maybe…" He said.
"Then how bout' I'm sorry and you're not old." Natsuko said.
"And…" Sasori said.
"You're not crusty either." She said frowning.
"Ok fine your mine friend again." Sasori said.
"Yay bestest friends forever!" She yelled.
"Yeah ok." Sasori said.
"Ya know it was only a joke?" Natsuko asked.
"Yes I knew." Sasori said smiling a little.
"Ok good, so whatcha doin'." She asked.
"Going to my room." He said.
"Ugh, why does everyone stay in their rooms?!" She yelled.
"Shhh, what do you mean, stop yelling first of all." Sasori said.
"Everyone is always anti-social, it gets annoying." She said. "I want people to talk to me."
"Oh." Sasori said.
"Hey, at least your room is right next to me, isn't that great." Natsuko said.
"And why's that?" He asked.
"Because I can keep bugging you until you talk to me." She said.
"Yeah so great, I'll talk to you later Natsuko." Sasori said.
"Aww ok, bye." Natsuko said.
"Bye." Sasori said then closed his door.
She walked away slowly. She liked Sasori he was nice, at least he was a little more normal looking then everyone else. He had red hair and he was human but something was wrong with him he wasn't totally human, it didn't bother her. She was determined to make him laugh at least once because he never did and rarely smiled. But other than that she called him a good friend.
