Chapter Two;
|Here come the trouble!|
The two sat down on their little table. Facing each other with a blanked expression…
"… So, how did these things happen?" Sasori asked.
Ritsu rolled her eyes then sighed loudly.
"My older brother enrolled me here in the University. It because of my name; people, even the principal, mistaken me as a dude."
Sasori replied with a nod that he clearly understood her. "So, mentally, they thought of you as a boy… So, what exactly did your brother told them?"
"He said that I am a guy…"
Sasori slump his shoulder and sunk himself on his chair… "Tough."
Ritsu nodded….
Afternoon has passed, the talk between the two has ended…
"I gotta say, your brother wants you to be a guy in order for him to fulfill something?"
Ritsu nodded. "I don't want to know what kind of goal he wants to fulfill… either, I don't want him to be upset."
Sasori narrowed his eyes and thought for a brief moment. "I'll keep your secret." Ritsu smiled widely… "But-"and Ritsu's smile vanished. "-you would do whatever I want; in short, you will be my slave."
Ritsu slammed her hand on the table, glaring at the red-haired man in front of her.
The red-haired man didn't flinch nor blink. He plastered a blanked expression and wait for her protest.
"What the hell? I don't want that!" She exclaimed.
"You leave me with no choice." Sasori sighed.
"What?"
"I'll keep your secret, yeah? And all you have to do is to be my slave for at least before I graduate." Sasori stared at her with a blanked expression. He's hoping to agree with his request.
Ritsu didn't talk back at him, hearing his explanation makes her understand some of it. Sure, he's a junior in their University. Only one more year and he'll be out of her world. But being a slave? She didn't see that coming either crossed her mind at all…. "Fine..." She finally said.
"Good." Sasori smirked nonchalantly. "You may start today, but I would like to have words with your brother..."
Ritsu tilted her head; confused. Why would he want to have a word with her brother? Do they know each other?
|Agreement|
After an hour;
"Are you Akasuna-kun?" Ask politely by the purplish idol.
Sasori nodded. "I'm in my junior year now. Basically, I'm your senpai."
Tokiya nodded in agreement. He examines Sasori for a brief moment then sighed.
"So, how old are you?" Tokiya asked.
"17."
"I see."
Ritsu sighed in a boredom way. She's beginning to build some boring nerve in her system.
"Hey." A man greets her. She turn around and spotted the man just greets her. "You must be Ichinose Ritsu-san." Ritsu nodded.
"I'm Uchiha Itachi, a junior here and also a friend of Sasori."
"H-hi," Ritsu greeted back, examining the young man in front of her. He looked so familiar.
"You must be curious, huh?" Itachi asked.
"Huh?"
"Don't worry. Sasori told me everything and in fact, he asked me to keep your secret to everyone." He curved a smile on his lips.
Ritsu blushed and began to fidget.
Sasori felt an arrow came across to his chest.
"So, we're deal?" Ritsu had heard his voice again… She turned around then glared at the man. Sasori blinked.
"We are." Itachi replied.
"Can I trust him, Uchiha-kun?" Tokiya asked timidly.
"Of course, you can. Sasori is a trustworthy person in our gang, Akatsuki." Itachi smugly complimented on Sasori, who just rolled his eyes in a smugly way.
Tokiya nodded in agreement way. He examines the red-haired guy once more. "Ritsu is in your hand now. Please take care of her.
Sasori nodded.
"Onii-chan…." Ritsu called out for her brother to get his attention. Tokiya slowly looked at her and waited for her to speak. "Are you really going to make me stay with him? And who is he?!" Ritsu cried out then pointed at Itachi, whose face were blanked.
"Of course, you need a guardian. A junior, indeed! And Uchiha-kun is a trustworthy person also he's a friend of mine."
Ritsu looked at Sasori and caught his eyes. Sasori smugly formed a smirk in his lips. Then, she rolled her eyes. Ritsu looked at Itachi, who gave her a smile.
Sasori slightly poke Itachi's shoulder then glare when Itachi take his attention to the red-haired man.
"You sure are the biggest idiot." Sasori said in a sarcasm way.
"Of course I am. Did you just notice it now?"
"Yeah; around when you told me that you knew her all along!"
Sasori exclaimed; it made the two siblings looked at their direction.
"Sasori, she doesn't want to be a part of it. Forgive me, we just need you to guide her, watch her, be a responsible senpai to her, and please- don't harass her."
"Why would I even land a finger on her? But, fine. I'll do it."
Itachi's lips tugged a smile on his lips then look at Ritsu.
"Ritsu-san, I was hoping that if ever, Sasori land a finger on you, report it to me right away. Also, don't worry about your secret. All the members in Akatsuki know you're a girl…." Sasori's eyes grew bigger then with a shocked expression he sighed in a disbelief way. He noted in his mind 'Never trust this guy again.'
"Our gang would be helping you out if anything troubles you… Also, Tobi is in the same grade as you. Please be friends with him…"
Ritsu nodded. Knowing that their gang really does the scariest gang in the campus…. She couldn't believe that this guy is a nice person…
The day has passed between them… Itachi gave his personal number to Ritsu, also, the Akatsuki's phone number… Sasori punched Itachi for being sarcasm towards him but in front of a girl, he's like an angel just got fell down on earth…
|Pain within them|
"Bring some tea over here…" The red-haired man said…
Ritsu had her brows upward and her eyes were slightly half-opened then she sighed. "Yes…"
Sasori had his eyes to her, watching while making a cup of tea for him. He figured that she might need a slave uniform.. But she might inform Itachi about it, too.
"Hey." Ritsu called out. Sasori looked at her with a zero expression. "Why are you being sadist?" It wasn't a question… It's more like a sarcasm statement.
Sasori didn't catch up the sarcasm.
"I am a sadist." Sasori simply replied.
Ritsu rolled her eyes in a smugly way then follow by a sighed. "Mostly, people would reply 'Because I love torturing people for my own happiness.' You're not one of them."
"Among them, I am different."
"I see."
"By the way, we're going to be roommate for 2 years… Mind telling me about you?"
Ritsu looked at Sasori then nodded. "Ask me some question."
Sasori thought of some question that he might needed to know to get along with her. "Do you have any friends?"
That was a complete idiotic question she heard... "What do you mean by that?"
"I'm just checking out if you had any friends or anything…"
"Huh? Of course I had friends…"
"They're gender?"
"You are a complete idiot…"
"Answer the question,"
"Both."
"Name them."
What the…. Ritsu frowned at how idiot is this guy is. "My brother's friends and some of my high school friends…"
"Brother's friends?"
"Basically, I grew up with them… They became my family."
"Where are your parents at then?"
"They've been death since I was still a baby. My grandparents took care of me and my brother."
"Sorry to hear that…." Sasori said. He understood her pain, he been there and done those. "Did you, by any chance, try to suicide?"
Ritsu looked shockingly surprise at how this guy could understand her pain… She slightly nodded and tried to fight back her tears.
Sasori nodded then looked at her. Her eyes were now forming water. She was fighting back her tears…?
