Tricked into Meeting chapter 2
We, Raven, Noah, Aya and I, went around to all the houses on our block, or so we thought.
"Dang, it's midnight already?" gasped Aya, glancing at my watch on my wrist.
"Oh, really? Well, I'm still wide awake." I grumbled, looking into my sack that I carried. I adjusted the fan on my back, making it more comfortable. Jesus, how I wonder how Temari ever carries it everyday!
"'Course you are, you little bat." Yawned Noah, about to rub his eyes, and I caught his hand.
"Dont you dare. I worked hard on that." They all know about my insomniac problem since 7th grade. Now, being in 9th, it hasn't gotten any better. At one point, I had gotten mononeucleousus (sp?) and slept for two days. Straight. It wasn't normal. But, once it was over, I was back to the creepy habit of being awake 24/7.
"Here." I tossed them all a can of pop I had gotten from some one's house, and a sugar loaded candy bar. "These should keep you up."
Raven didn't answer, and gulped down half the can in one gulp.
"Jesus man, breathe!" I said, chuckling. We walked down a random street and I began to notice there wasn't alot of kids around.
'Damn. No more little children to freak out.' I brooded.
"Aw man, the lights are going out. Look! The whole street is done! This sucks." moaned Raven, shifting his 'puppet' I made on his back.
"Hey. Did we go to that house yet?" Said my friend, Aya, and I followed her finger pointing at a huge house. It looked oddly familiar.
"Don't think so. I'd most likely remember THAT house." Grunted Noah, then dropped his gourd. "Damn this thing is HEAVY!"
"What have you got in it?" I asked, then popped out the cork.
"Where do you think all my candy is, Einstein?" retorted Noah, as I peered inside.
"Yup. Ok, fine. Drag it for all I care." I stuck the cork in it again and heaved a sigh, looking up at the house.
"Come on. Let's go home." Said Raven, slouching away, but I pulled on his puppet.
"Hey!" he said lamely, then fell backwards, landing on his ass.
"No. Let's go on." I insisted, not paying attention, my gaze fixed on the front door. Something was carved onto it. I squinted to get a better look, but Aya put a hand on my shoulder.
"How about we come back after we're out of our costumes?" she suggested, sticking a thumb at the two complaining boys.
I heaved another sigh.
"Promise?" Aya nodded, grinning. I grinned back.
"Ok, come on. I wanna go up." I said, adjusting my black v-neck top with fishnet sticking out of the sleeves and collar. I walked up the long stairs leading as a walk way. I heard my friends behind me muttering incoherently.
"Come on Hasame, I don't like the look of this place." Whined Raven, lugging his bag with him.
"Quit your chatter!" I said sharply. I had this...shiver on my skin. But it wasn't a bad shiver. A shiver like your anxious. Or, like you really really gotta find out what this is.
The mark on the door grew clearer and I head Aya gasp behind me. I stood, awe-struck and reached out to touch the carving.
"Suna..." I said.
It was silent for a minute, then the door open.
"Whoa...too dramatic for me! I'm outta here!" Said Raven and was about to turn and run down the steps, but I took a hold of him by the back of his shirt collar and Aya dragged Noah in the same manner.
I knocked on the open door.
"Hello!! Anyone home?" I hollared. I was a little freaked out by the carving of the Sunagakure symbole on the door, but that didn't stop me. I felt like something pulled me into this house.
"Noooo, Hasame! Quit pulling me!" Whined Raven, but I shook him by his collar.
"Jeez, you'd think boys would be braver than the girls, eh?" Aya grumbled, and pushed in Noah first.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa! No pushy!" he said, then something thumped upstairs.
"What the-" I said, and this felt exactly like those horror movies in the old days. There was a thump, then the four victims were frozen in fear, anticipating, waiting with bated breath. It made another thump, then there was a bloodcurdling scream from one victim and the lights would go out. Then, they would all be gone.
I jumped at the second thump, and Raven screamed like a girly-girl. We all stared at him oddly.
"Sorry." he muttered.
"That totally ruined the whole effect, you know." Said a feminin voice ahead of us.
"AH!" I shouted, and looked at the figure. She flicked on a light and it blinded me. Shielding my eyes, my blue eyes slowly adjusted to the light. I frowned...and stared at the female before us.
"OH-EM-EFF-GEE!" Said Raven again. We stared at him again.
"Wha-wha-wha-" Noah kept on repeating like a broken record, and I whacked him on the head to shut him up. It worked.
"T-t-Temari??? No...no this can't be! You aren't real!" I said, slapping myself, then looked at her. She was still there.
"Aya! Hit me!" She did. Hard.
"Ow!" I said, rubbing my head.
"But, you told me to!" She protested. I looked at Temari again, who had gotten bored and had begun to file her nails.
"Done yet?" she asked, looking up from her nails. I stared. Then, as everyone knew it would happen, the blood curdling scream came.
"OOOOOMMMGG!!!! AAAAAAAAH!" I proceeded to sceaming my head of in fright and astonishment. Temari nearly fell over backwards from the shock of such noise coming from such a...small person. She was about to march over to me and give her a piece of her mind, then I saw something out of the corner of my eye. A flurry of black threw itself on me.
"OMG! SHUT HER UP!" Yelled Kankurou, and slapped a hand over my mouth. Everyone looked wide-eyed at him and me.
Aya screamed and looked like she was going to go into hysterics. Temari rushed over and hit her over the head.
"Quiet!" she hissed. And Aya did.
Noah and Raven were stuck on their spots, not wanting to make noise. They didn't want to find out what would happen to them if they sceamed. No, men don't scream like girls. They yell. Dignified and manly. But, they do sceam.
"H-hey...I-if...y-you two are h-here.." Aya studdered, and Kankurou removed his hand from my mouth.
"No...no way." I whispered, and pushed Kankurou off of me.
Sand shot out and enveloped me. I couldn't sceam! It was too horrifying. I felt myself being dragged back and I twisted around, knowing what I would see. He pulled me closer, and I stared into his pupil-less eyes, terrifyed out of my mind.
"You..." he said, then scowled. "Make too much noise."
I stared. I thought he would have said something more deadly or threatening. But no. It was 'I was making too much noise'. He dropped me and I fell hard on the wood floor.
"Ow." I said lamely. He glared down at me and stepped over me, then spun around, and squatted down next to my head. I jumped and he squinted at me. I saw his thumb reach over to my eyes, and I shut them tightly. I felt it run over my eyelid, and down the side of my face.
"Hn. Make up." He grumbled, then I opened my eyes. He was frowning at me, then stood up again. He must have thought my make up was like his eyes. I haven't slept properly for nearly two years, but he hadn't slept all his life. But wait...
"You're wearing a long coat." I stated, staring at his attire. He snorted. Nice manners.
"Has the Akatsuki..." I said, then he glared at me. Probably not. He would have been a bit more nicer towards me if they had already captured him. Or, maybe not.
Aya collapsed to her knees, and looked blankly at the ground. I crawled over to her and shook her shoulder.
"Aya. Aya, look at me." She glanced up with her brown eyes into my own blue ones.
"This isn't happening..." She muttered.
I felt the same way, then I touched my clothing. It was covered in sand. If this had been a dream, it wouldn't be there. The sand would have been an figment of my imagination.
I stood up and walked over to Noah and Raven, they stared at me and shook.
"This is so not right man..." Said Raven.
"Hm...If this isn't real...then if I do something, I won't feel anything..." I said wonderously, and looked thoughtfully at Gaara. He frowned.
"Like what? Hasame? What are you going to do? Hasame?!" Blurted out Noah, waving a hand in front of my face, but I continued to look at Gaara. I marched over to him, stood face to face...well...sort of. Chest to face. I looked up thoughtfully and reached up with a hand. He backed away, looking at me like I was some crazy chick.
I reached up further and ruffled his crazy red hair. He looked purturbed at me, and grabbed my hand.
"Don't..." He said, and I felt my hand being squeezed from his grip. "Do that..." His grip tightened and my hand felt crushed.
"Ack!" I said and tried to yank my hand away, but he kept a firm hold on it.
"Again." He finished, and glowered at me.
"Ok! Ok! I won't! I just wanted to see-" he didn't let me finish, and he threw me to the side, crashing into Noah, Raven and Aya. We toppled over like dominos.
"Hey! What was that for, you freak!" I yelled at him, got up from under Raven's legs and marched over to him, this time in anger. Sand wrapped around me and tightened. I yelled, and tried to move my limbs, but no luck.
"No! Lemme go! Lemme GO!" I felt myself hyperventilating, and I've never done that before, so I don't know if I knew whether or not if I was hyperventilating, but if this is what hyperventilating must feel like, then I must've been hyperventilating.
"Gaara!" Temari said sharply, looking a bit scared, but he didn't pay any attention to her. I felt sweat slide down my cheek, and I stared horrified at him, willing him with my eyes not to do what I thought he would do.
"Let me GO!" I said forcefully, and wriggled as much as I could. I saw him smirk, and that got me angry.
"Hasame!!" Screamed Aya, and she jumped to her feet, about to do something, then realised she didn't know what to do.
"Get him!" Yelled Raven, and he bravely, or stupidly, I can't tell the difference, even now, jumped on Gaara, and Noah followed along with Aya. Gaara was actually caught off guard, but not so much that he didn't put up a shield. All three went splat against it, and slid down like birds on a newly cleaned window.
"Gaara! Friggin' let me go!" I yelled, and felt the sand constrict, and I sceamed. It felt like being crushed between to walls, except being surrounded by them.
"AAAAH!" Aya screamed and tried scratching at the sand hopelessly with her nails, and Gaara pushed her away. I saw the sand surround my three friends and I could hear their yells. He cut off their air, and I saw them collapse, unconsious.
I stared at him, then stopped fighting. Maybe if I stopped wriggling, the sand wouldn't be able to get a grip on me. I was wrong. I felt the sand surround my throat, constricting, and my vision slowly grew darker.
"We shouldn't have come here." I whispered hoarsly, then I closed my eyes, everything going silent.
