"I'm tired of this! She's so smart just send her off to college already!" Amy yelled pointing at the teen with light brown hair
"Amy sit down now. Some students are more mature than others so whatever problem you have with Ayame get over it." Mr. Kayto said, Ayame sighed. She hated her life. She was perfect. Perfect but never happy. Her family hated her, her classmates hated her, the world would hate her if it could.
"But Mr. Kayto!" Amy complain
"Be quiet. Get out of my classroom NOW." Mr. Kayto said
"This is your fault you bitch!" Amy yelled throwing a book at her, Ayame just caught it and put it on the desk
"You're the only one complaining. I don't really care if you like me or not. But don't yell at the teacher for doing his job." Ayame said in a bored tone, Amy got red and charged at her, Mr. Kayto grabbed her and sent her to the principals office. Everyone was mumbling, Ayame looked out her window and sighed.
"Time to go home." Mr. Kayto said, everyone left, Ayame was always the last to leave
"You should just left, you know." Mr. Kayto said "You shouldn't be here." he added sadistically
"Whatever." Ayame said leaving the school, she smiled as she walked out the school. It was raining, she loved it. She walked home.
"Why can't you just leave the house, hun?" Ayame's father asked
"Because I'm only 16. I need to be 18 and you or mom won't sign the papers to let me be an adult." Ayame stated plainly, he grabbed her hair and pulled her towards him
"Just cause you're smart you little bitch doesn't mean you can treat me and your family like shit." He said as he pushed her down
"i'm just doing what mom asked me to do. To leave HER family alone." Ayame said as she got up. She walked to her room downstairs into her room, the basement.
"I'm leaving tonight." She said, she did some work on the computer and printed out paper. By the time it was late, she knew everyone was asleep or gone. She hated her life, so she's going with a new one. She started packing her duffel bag, she had only so many clothes and she snuck in her laptop and her electronics. She grabbed some other things and then she went to a small room near her bed, she opened and took out her money, a life savings. She was going to live in Japan so she just had the money transfer to that.
"Now to the airport." Ayame said. She ran through the forest outside her house. It was still raining but she bared through it to get away, then she heard thunder and saw lighting. She jumped and tried to hurry to a Taxi at the end of the way. Next thing she knows she passes by a tree with a weird symbol on it.
"Isn't that the Akatsuki sign?" She asked herself. Then a huge crackling thunder sound came to and lighting hit the same tree. She passed out.
Ayame woke up by the rays of sun hitting her face, she sat up and looked around. She stood up and notice that this wasn't the forest she ran through. She walked through some bushes and saw a small village down where she was, she had her bag and was glad she wasn't wet anymore. She thought it looked familiar, she went down to the village. Everything was different and bright with color. She heard it was a Festival coming tonight, she smiled. She saw a hotel so she went to that.
"Hi, I would like to have a room please." She said to the lady at the desk
"Just one room miss?" She asked, Ayame nodded, "Alright. Here's your key. You pay when you leave, Miss. oh and what's your name?" The lady asked, Ayame smiled
"Keida. Keida Takara. I'm new here." She said, she said she would get a new life.
"Alright Miss Takara. Have a good time. Call if you need anything! I'm Tasu" The lady/Tasu said. Keida nodded and left to her room, she empty her bag and sighed.
"Hopefully I, Keida Takara, will be able to afford this hotel." Ayame/Keida said, she changed her clothes to a white long shirt with a purple top thats off the shoulder with wooden sandal, she got last year.
"Perfect!" Keida said laughing, she was happy. NO ONE gave her any dirty looks or yelled, no fighting no hatred. She was free. She walked out with a small bag containing her ID and money.
"I should probably get a Kimono." She said looking around at the women with theirs
"Come on Itachi-san. The Festival is fun. The women there aren't so bad either." Kisame said smirking, Itachi sighed
"We'll stop by. But that's it. We need to get back." Itachi said
"Didn't expect to see you two here." A voice said coming out from behind a tree
"Hey Sasori. Where's your partner?" Kisame asked
"He went ahead to get our room. He wants to see the Festival of Lights." Sasori said boredly
"I understand." Itachi said looking at Kisame
"I'll go on ahead and get our room, Itachi." Kisame said grinning then left
"Hello Miss Takara. My you went shopping." Tasu said looking at Keida
"They wouldn't let me leave unless I bought something." Keida said sighing, they laughed and Keida asked how much a night would cost. It was really cheap so Keida was happy.
"Do you need any help with your bags?" She asked
"No I'm fine. Thank you though. When the the Festival of Lights start?" Keida asked
"Around dawn." She said, Keida nodded. She walked to her room trying to juggle her things together but she tripped and fell
"Damn Merchant people." Keida said sighing
"Do you need help, un?" a voice said behind her, Keida froze, she heard that voice before, she knew that accent but she was probably going crazy.
"Uh y-yes." Keida said unsure, the man bent down to help, he grinned at her
"The Merchants here are very crafty, un." Her blonde helping said, "I'm Deidara, yeah." He said
"H-Hi. I-I'm Keida." Keida said completely baffled, he grabbed her bags and extended his hand to help her stand up. She grabbed his hand and she stood up.
"Where's you room, yeah?" Deidara asked
"Down there to the right." Keida said walking next to him trying not to blow her top off. She stood in front of her room and got out her key and open the door. Deidara walked in and set the bags down.
"You're alone, un?" Deidara asked looking at her lonely bag
"Hai. I just left home, so I'm alone. I like it, I'm free." Keida admitted, Deidara turned to her confused
"That's nice, I suppose, un." Deidara said unsure
"Hehe I'm a complicated person." Keida said to avoid the silences
"Are you here for the Festival of Lights, un?" Deidara asked
"I now am. I didn't even hear about it till I got here. I assume I'll see you and your friends there." She said
"How do you know I have friends, un?" He asked defensively
"I, uh, saw people wearing the same cloak coming down to the village when I was out shopping." Keida made up, kinda, she thought she did but that's when she thought she was crazy.
"Oh, un." Deidara said slightly embarrassed
"It's okay. We'll I'm gonna go out to eat so~" Keida said, Deidara nodded and got the hint, he left the room and left Keida alone in her room. She closed the door and locked it, she slid down her door with her eyes widen and her heart beating fast.
"Holy shit. I'm going to die." Keida said
