Title: The Radiance of the Moon
Chapter: Three – Denial at its Highest
Coupling: DeiSaku, with suggestions of others.
Summery: No one knew of Sakura's hidden life, her life behind the mask of happiness. And they probably never would. But when she finally claims to start going insane if she stayed another day, a year of leave from her current residence is set up by her true family under the impression of it being a mission. In this year, will Sakura find true love amongst her real family, kill yet another in her built up anger, or both and even more? – DeiSaku
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto. Never have, never will…
A/N: You will notice there are certain members who will act a bit/lot OOC. But, then again, no one is really perfect. Also, I am sorry it took so long to put this up. I am in the middle of moving. We just got into our new house the other day and unloaded the 24' truck and my step-dad's truck of stuff. So we have to unpack and we still have stuff we have to move and yeah… It is going to be a while until we get everything set up. But, we do have internet now!
"So… I've noticed you and Deidara have gotten closer…"
Lemonade shot through the air and a coughing fits burst out from the small relaxation spot… So much for relaxing…
"What?!" Sakura shouted as her eyes grew wide and she shot her head to look at her quickly made friend.
Amu smirked as she pushed the dark sunglasses further up her nose. Her hair was sprawled out slightly as she rested back in the beach chair. She wore a blue two-piece swim suit, decorated with little white flowers. The ever popular white flower was still perched in her hair. Her arms stretched over her head and she arched her back slightly before moving slightly so as to unstick her body from the chair before resting again. "You heard me… You and Deidara seem to have gotten closer… I saw what you did in the hall last week…"
"As if! I did that to make him shut up and leave me alone! Not to arouse him and…and…EW! Just…ew! I would never like someone like him! He looks like a girl! He's worse than Kyuubi! He never shuts up and that 'un' is so fricken annoying! Grrrraaaahhhhh!!!" Sakura seethed through her teeth as she fell back onto her own chair. She was obviously flustered as her cheeks tinted slightly pink. But she could easily blame that on the sun… Her bathing suit was also a two-piece. But her's was black and decorated with red clouds, clouds the same size as those in the cloaks…
"Course… That's why you are making such a big deal about it… But anyways, Sakura… Where did you get that suit anyways?" Amu asked as she pulled her glasses down slightly to gaze over at Sakura from above them.
An evil grin played on Sakura's lips as she flicked open her own sun glasses and pushed them on her nose, covering her devilish green eyes. "I decided to 'get closer' to Deidara…" she cooed with a small chuckle.
Realization flashed in Amu's eyes and she gave a small gasp, "You didn't!"
"Course I did… Besides, I haven't seen him since that day last week. I figure he and Tobi are on a mission. And since I didn't want to waste any of my cloaks… Besides, Zetsu said I could. And Hidan liked the idea as well… I mean, they even helped me with sizing and Kakuzu stitched the clothes together for me. Besides, it's just…'harmless' fun…" Sakura confirmed as she kept the smirk on her face and rested back with her arms behind her head, "Besides, if you like this, you'll love the shirt I'm going to wear tomorrow…"
Amu chuckled slightly and shook her head before pushing her glasses back up and snuggling back into her chair.
The sun beat down upon the two females as they rested outside of the Akatsuki lair on their beach chairs. No one cared about the absence of them and since nothing was really going on it didn't matter. Deidara and Tobi had the large mission at the moment and until they got back it was free time for the rest of the members. And as the days went by, they all came to love Sakura more and more. Her healing abilities were put to good use and she wasn't the weak little girl most thought her to be back when they met her before. No… Now she was a woman; a woman who would break their arms if they looked at her wrong. She so belonged here…
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-Deidara and Tobi-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Why did we have to do this, un?! She hasn't done one thing since she's been here, un! All she ever does is piss me off, un! She acts like she's so great, un! Why do they accept her, un?! She killed Sasori no Danna, un!!!" Deidara complained as he and Tobi sat atop his large bird. He had been complaining the whole mission except for when they had to be quiet. And frankly, Tobi wanted to be the one to yell 'Shut up, un!' at Deidara instead of the other way around…
But no… Tobi was a good boy… Tobi was sitting quietly off to the side, trying to block out Deidara's rants. 'Tobi loves Deidara-senpai… But Deidara-senpai is being so loud… Deidara-senpai is so obsessed over Sakura-chan…Maybe…Does Deidara-senpai maybe…' "Deidara-senpai…?" Tobi asked as he looked over at the blonde bomb maniac.
"What is it Tobi, un!?" Deidara shouted as if Tobi had been the one talking the whole time and not him. He shot around to glare at the boy.
"Does Deidara-senpai like Sakura-chan? Deidara-senpai seems to like to say a lot of mean things about Sakura-chan. But Tobi thinks Deidara-senpai is in what Hidan-san calls 'denial.' Hidan-san said a lot of people have it about people and that Deidara-senpai is always in denial and just doesn't admit it… Tobi thinks Hidan-san might be right…" Tobi muttered as he gripped his ankles lightly. His legs were crossed as he turned to stare down at them with his eye before looking back up at Deidara who was in slight shock.
But Deidara's shock didn't stay long. It soon turned to anger as his eye twitched. "I'm not in denial, un!!! BAD BOY, UN!" he shouted as he went to jump Tobi to beat him, "I don't like that pink haired whore, un! Hidan is just siding with her cause she sleeps with him, un!"
Tobi let out a girlish scream and went to dodge the pissed blonde. If there was one thing Tobi knew, it was the common knowledge that pissed off blondes were not safe to be around… "Tobi is a good boy! Don't hurt Tobi! Tobi is a good boy!" he shouted as he started to run in circles around the bird's back.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-Akatsuki Lair-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Hidan let out a sneeze as he walked outside. An angry glint appeared in his eyes as he heard laughter from the two females.
"Neh, Hidan! Sounds like someone's talking about you!" Sakura called with a smirk as she stood up and started to grab her things along with Amu.
"Shut the fuck up, Sakura... I came out here to fucking tell you that you're fucking wanted… Damn it, I'll kill whoever is fucking talking about me… Bet it's that fucking lollipop…" Hidan cursed as he rubbed his nose and glared up towards the sky.
"Heh, probably. Tobi seems to be very infatuated with you, Hidan. I mean, who wouldn't love you?" Sakura teased as she tossed the bag over her shoulder and picked up her chair in the other, "You're so handsome that it's just so hard to resist you. I almost want to jump you right now."
Hidan got a slight ego boost before hearing the sarcasm dripping in the pink haired female's voice and turned at glare at her. "At least my fucking body has some fucking figure! Unlike you, you fucking stick!"
"Yeah… You're right. I guess that's why all the men are staring at you all the time…" Sakura said as she stared a glaring contest with Hidan.
Amu shook her head at the two. "I swear, you two need a bit of help… Every time you two see each other you're always bickering about one thing or another. You're like siblings fighting over the last piece of cake…"
Sakura stuck her tongue out at Amu before walking over and slinging an arm around Hidan. She had dropped her bag before doing so. "Is there something wrong with me finding a perfect brother figure? You know you're jealous that Hidan talks to me and not you. Who could ever resist this hot religious body?" Sakura said with a playful wink at Amu, getting the blue female to roll her eyes and head inside.
"Heathen…" Hidan muttered as he shrugged Sakura off.
"Bastard…" Sakura shot back as she grabbed her bag. And thus they both went inside insulting each other back and forth. They were such good friends…
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-Later that Day-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Deidara glared as he walked into the lair. A beaten and bruised Tobi followed. Deidara was bleeding from a cut on his cheek, he had a large slash in his back, and his right wrist was broken. Tobi's injuries had been from Deidara so it was mostly bruises from being beaten. When the fight came he stayed away from the real danger, as always. It seemed Deidara had had the mind to run as well but decided against it. After all, he knew that being injured meant he would have to be healed by Sakura… And he so did NOT want to have her healing him and touching him. Especially his hands… He had practically ripped the skin from his hand last week after the incident. He wanted to clean all of her spit and get the taste out of his mouth. Of course his hand-mouth refused to open up for him except to insert clay. Sometimes it sucked to have hands that had minds of their own. But his mind was ripped from all of that at the scene that lay before him…
"What the hell, un?!" he shouted with wide eyes as he took a step back. Low and behold before the blonde Akatsuki member was a very disturbing sight… Hidan, Itachi, and Sakura were in a tangled mess and looked as if they were in the middle of sex. But Sakura had clothes on; though Itachi was in his pants and shirt and Hidan almost completely naked and in his boxers. And it was obvious Sakura was reaching for something between Hidan's legs. So it was a pretty HOLY SHIT moment right there…
Hidan snarled at Deidara as he heard the outburst, "Shut the fuck up! We're trying to do something here!" He glared at him as he watched Sakura reach. He was very hesitant that her hand was going by his crotch! "Watch your fucking hand whore…"
"Fuck off Hidan. If you don't like it, then you can leave," Sakura said with a glare as she moved her body to rest almost completely on Itachi. Slipping her hand through Hidan's legs she made contact with the red dot. "Hah!" Victory was in her grasp… "Itachi, your turn to spin!"
Yes… They were playing twister… Strip twister… And Sakura was winning. Then again it wasn't hard for her to win. Pein had almost passed out on the mat when Sakura's boobs touched his face and Zetsu got squeamish with all of the people tangled around him. Thus both were naked in the corner of woe. Amu had opted to not play and was laughing her ass off on the couch. Kakuzu also wasn't playing but instead was working on a bet system on who would end up winning. Kisame had been dragged into playing by Pein and ended up running out when he accidentally groped Itachi's crotch and screaming like a girl at the activation of Sharingan. The incident made Sakura almost fall with laughter as well as Amu and Kakuzu. They were all glared at and shut up except Sakura who chuckled and gave him a grin. She had implied that there was something going on but got hit upside the head by the Uchiha. And that was how they got into their current positions… Every fall meant taking off a piece of clothing. Quitting made you have to go naked and if you ended up naked you lost. Deidara just happened to come in at a bad time…
Tobi was confused as he tilted his head to the side. "Tobi thinks this is a sex orgy…" he commented making the three on the mat fall down and Amu and Kakuzu burst out in laughter.
Deidara couldn't help but laugh at the look on the three faces of the players as they tried to untangle themselves. They then proceeded to hurt Tobi. Or at least Hidan and Itachi did. Since this meant Hidan had to take off his underwear or his necklace he was pretty pissed. Many many bunnies died in those five minutes…
While they pummeled the poor boy Sakura proceeded to take off her skirt, her shorts still in place. She tossed the cloth to Amu before turning to Deidara with a smirk. She took note of his injuries and walked over to him in a sexy manner. She remembered what she had done to him and saw the fear in his eyes of it happening again as he tried to hide his hands. "You look pretty beat up Deidara…" she commented with a small grin, "Care to get healed up…?"
"No, un!" Deidara called as he took a step back, keeping his hands behind him. He could hear the cat calls from Amu and the chuckles from Kakuzu as he started to take bets on who would win the fight. Deidara or Sakura… Boy was he raking in the money today…
"Why not Deidara…? You wouldn't want to loose one of your hands, now would you…?" she asked with an innocent look in her eyes as she swayed back and forth slightly.
If only she knew… "Go away, un! I don't need your help, un!" Deidara called with a small glare as he found himself back against a wall. All eyes were on him. He was making a scene… But it was Sakura's fault! Why was he the one they all stared at?! Did he have something on his face? Or was it the fact that his hands seemed happ-
"Your hands seem happy to see me… I wonder why…" Sakura said as an evil grin took place upon her face. She could see the fear grow in Deidara's mind. It told her that she had read his mind…
A/N: Yeah, I've decided to do a cliffhanger of sorts… I don't really know what to do next chapter. There are so many things… I could have Sakura do a really mean joke/prank on Deidara and have him go all emo or something. Or I could have him loose it and 'rape' her next chapter… Or… Wow… There's so much. Also school starts up tomorrow and I've got to get my mind in gear for that cause I have to wake up at 6 am tomorrow cause school starts at 7:50 or something like that… And I have to be at my bus stop by 7 am so I don't miss it. And yeah… New school this year cause we moved… All that fun stuff. So I'm really sorry about the wait that might be for between here and the next chapter. But you know…reviews always help… .
Thank you to all of you who have reviewed my first two chapters! I less than three you!
