I'd rather be in Narnia.
Chapter four: Of depression and lovesickness.
(Sakura's POV.)
It's been two days. Two days, Sakura sighed. It's been two days since Sakura left the school building, only to find a very irritable Dakota leaning against her car waiting for her. Sakura didn't notice her bad mood at first, of course, but once she started talking to her, she knew.
-:O:-
"Where the hell has she gotten to?" Sakura muttered, stomping out of the school building and swiftly turning her head side to side. She had already searched the whole school for her twin and simply could not find her.
She decided if Dakota was not at her car, she would wait fifteen minutes and if she still didn't show up then she had gotten arrested and Sakura would go bail her out.
But, fortunately or not, Sakura couldn't decided, Dakota had been waiting ever so impatiently while leaning on her child.
"Hey Dakota-Chan~!" Sakura had called, earning herself a very irritated glare and a snide remark of "took you fuckin' long enough, eh?"
Sakura had shrugged this off and just considered there were still a few students around, so Dakota was trying to keep up her "Dare ya' to talk to me- I must just spare you a fuckin' middle finger" attitude.
Sakura slid into the passenger seat and took gentle note of the fact the Dakota's face was flushed and her eyes slightly red.
"Dakota, have you been crying?" Sakura had asked in a playful tone. Dakota gave her a sideways glare, whilst glancing at her mirrors, making sure the coast was clear to drive.
Sakura was speechless. Dakota must have been irritated greatly. "…Dakota?"
"Just fucking drop it, Sakura." Dakota seethed, hitting the gas and punching the car out of the school lot.
Sakura was taken aback. Her sister had not showed her this level of hostility since…well, never.
"Dakota, what's bothering you?" Sakura had asked, one more attempt and if failed Sakura would leave her alone.
Dakota didn't answer her and Sakura sighed. 'Well,' Sakura mentally supposed, 'At least she hasn't punched me in the face…yet…'
"…I," Dakota paused, her eyes squinting as she slowed at a red light. Sakura took note of how hard her fists were clenching the wheel, and also how she was actually driving the speed limit. "I…think I like someone…" Dakota said, almost sheepishly, but with a hard edge to her voice that said, 'I swear to God if this gets anymore Cliché I'm going to kill myself.'
"…Oh," Sakura had said, genuine surprise lacing her voice, "Well…who is it?" Sakura asked hesitantly, not really sure what to do. They had never actually liked one of the guys they went after.
"I'm not sure if I actually like him…but it's that blonde guy…his name is Deidara." Dakota mumbled, her blue eyes narrowed to slits, angry at herself most likely.
"O-oh." Sakura had stuttered on her uncertain reply, earning a weary glance from Dakota. Their eyes locked and they both sighed in sync. They had absolutely no clue what to do.
"Well…good luck with that…" Sakura had trailed off, Dakota glanced over again as the light turned green and she hit the gas lightly, going actually below the speed limit.
"You- you're not going to help?" Dakota asked, her voice low and somewhat timid. Sakura gulped. This was possibly one of the most awkward conversations they've ever had and that's saying something since they've had a lot of conversations.
"I-I really don't know…how you f-feel…I can't really help you." Sakura had spluttered out, not sure of herself at all in those moments.
"You could at least offer some sort of comfort…" Dakota trailed off, not to sure either.
"I did say good luck." Sakura said, looking out the window to her right, not willing to meet her twin's disbelieving gaze.
The silence that engulfed them was heavy, uncomfortable and very, very awkward.
-:O:-
Sakura knocked twice on the door only to be answered by silence.
"Dakota, you've missed two days of school already. You can't stay in there forever!" Sakura called, only to be met with more silence. "I'm taking you car for a joyride and crashing it into the next oil filled gulf I see!"
"Hn." Came from the other side of the door. A grunt of ignorance. She didn't care. She could just buy herself a new one. Sakura's fists clenched at her sides in anger as she struggled to control her ever rising short temper.
"I'm out of here- don't kill yourself." Sakura bit our, eyes grudging and tone one of complete restraint.
A dull and distant, "Yea." Was all that came from the other side of the door. Sakura's eyes narrowed even further.
'She could at least add the fucking 'H' on the end! LAZY BITCH, KYA~!' Inner Sakura yelled, shaking her fist.
Sakura growled audibly as she stormed down the stairs. Her heels made a nice rhythm which Sakura maintained to calm her self.
Clack. Clack. Clack.
CLACK. CLACK. CLACK.
CLACK. CLACK. CLACK.
They continued to get louder and more frustrated as Sakura began to grow tired of the ever irritating sound of heels clicking so persistently. It was far from calming her down. The only thing that could calm her raging temper was her sister. Who was the cause of her irritation. Sakura felt a bit sorry for anyone who crossed her today as she walked over to her sisters car and started it up.
Oh how she wished to maim someone.
Twenty minutes later and Sakura was still fuming, but now in different scenery. She had just pulled into her usual parking spot, not surprised to see the Akatsuki chilling around their cars. Yes, they actually started bring other cars instead of shoving themselves all in the same car. 'I suppose it got rather cramped…' Sakura mused.
"Hey pinky." The annoying blonde called, a sneer in place. Honestly, how could Dakota like him?
"What, blonde friend of my oh so emo sister?" Sakura called over, her tone airy and distant. She really wasn't into these guys. They were annoying, rude, disgusting and slightly intimidating. Not that she was intimidated.
"Where is your sister, 'Haven't seen her in a couple days," the odd blue skinned man sighed.
Sakura raised a brow but said, "She's sick." in a blunt voice before turning on her heel. She was planning to, you know, walk away with no more trouble. How awkward she must have felt when her plans were cancelled.
"Oh really?" A tall figure said, well it sounded like growling since his voice was so low, as he glared down at her with captivating ringed grey eyes and many piercings on his face.
Sakura frowned. "Yes, really." She said. Remember how she wasn't intimidated. Well, she was pretty close to pissing her pants, so I'd say she's pretty intimidated.
"Don't lie to me, Sakura." He said, and her green eyes narrowed, a sneer broke out on her face.
"I told you, Dakota-Chan is sick. Lovesick." Sakura clarified and clacked away.
The Akatsuki stared after her with lost looks.
"What?" about half the members roared at her retreating back.
A/N: Oh. Hello. *Perverted smile and creepy laughter.* ...Ahem. Sorry, it's a new thing me and my Imoto-Chan are doing, smiling pervertedly and laughing creepily, that is. Yeah.
Well, I must say I despise this chapter deeply. I mean, this is just a filler chapter! Don't worry, I'm posting another chapter tonight for your guys' New Years present. Because I'm a kind person. But still, I hate this chapter with a deep, deep, DEEP passion. I don't even care if you review saying, "Nice going, you ruined my New Years." But I will post this fifth chapter in less than an hour and a half! Because I'm typing it right after I finish with the extrememlly long and slightly pointless rant, right here.
Ah. No, there was no Sasu/Saku interactions. Hell, Sasuke's name wasn't even mentioned. Take that fangirls. That sexy beast is mine. *Hears angry roar of fangirls coming down the street.* HAH! Losers, I have fangirl repelant. Bring it. *Does gangsta pose*
ANYWAYS- Now time for review responces!

Echo Uchiha- THANKS YOU! :3
jellydonut16- AW YEA. (To lazy to type the 'h', sorreh!) And don't worry, my family often gives me those looks! Like the other night we were in the living room and watching a particularly creepy part in a horror movie and, being me, I was on fanfiction on my phone and I burst out laughing after the main character gets stabbed. My mom nearly hit me. xD Is this soon enough for you! It would have been sooner, but my siblings are computer hogs! And I'll be damned if they're relationship isin't interesting, Sasuke's and Sakura's, that is.
