Chapter 4: The naked truth is better than the best dressed lie.
A/N: *gets handed script* oh great...
Akatsuki: What now?
Well you see... Um... Just read and find out. I'll spoil it now if I tell you.
Disclaimer: I own Zea. That's that.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
~the gods~
"She is getting out of hand!" Zeus yelled.
"She is not!" Athena retorted. "She is just insecure!"
"Well she sure as my home wasn't when she stabbed Madara." Hades laughed. The other gods glared at him. "Hey! He deserves it!" He whined.
"Fine, but I still think she is getting out of hand." Zeus said. "Anyone up for a vote?"
"What's it about?" Poseidon questioned, uncertain that he even wanted to hear by the look that Zeus gave Hades.
"Just a vote to see if she should go to the bar tonight and drink till she throws up like she planned or not." Hades said. Almost instantly the replies came.
"NO!" 53.
"YES!" 56.
"HELL YES!" 16.
"And off to the bar she goes!" Hades chortled with laughter, rolling off his chair in the process.
"Bunch of idiots I tell you." Cupid muttered to himself. "Okay zip it!" He yelled, for a little guy he had a very loud voice, gaining all the gods' attention. "Now, we know she is unstable, mentally speaking, but I've already planted the little seed of love in Itachi and Kisame. I think that the Uchiha will succeed, but you never know, she might just reject both of them." The little god took a deep breath and continued. "However, if she doesn't get connected to one of them soon, I might have to make someone else appear to melt her frozen heart." The sadistic grin that appeared on Cupid's face made all the gods get an uneasy feeling in their stomach. "Oh and she is going to the bar, whether we make her go or not."
~with the other guys~
Zea sat in her room, she had just attacked a person, Tobi to be exact. "Why shouldn't I have attacked him? He took my sweets." She muttered bitterly, taking off her bloodied clothes and changing into slack black cargo pants and a black wife-beater top. She stood for a bit thinking. "Why hide them anymore? They already know." She grumbled, grabbing her hoodie and slipping it on before sitting at her desk.
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki had just saved Tobi, well Kakuzu saved him... But that's not the problem. They sat in the living-room going over what the god had told them about half an hour ago.
"She just needs sleep..."
That's what the god had said, but none of them believed him. In-fact, they were wondering why she was so unstable in the first place.
"Ya know, I don't think she means any harm, yeah." Deidara said, thoughtful look on his face. (OMG, he's thinking, and we forgot about him... lalalalalala)
"I'm going to talk to her." Itachi said as he stood up, heading for the room.
"I'm coming with ya!" Kisame shouted, following the weasel to the room, and probably to his doom.
Meanwhile, Zea was organizing her room once again. After that was done she took out her laptop and started typing. Low-and-behold, she was typing away at her keyboard at such a speed that it was hard to follow what she was typing. (And to make it worse, she is typing the rules… oh my.) She didn't stop for a second, not even when her door cracked open and two heads poked inside.
"Unless you have urgent business with me, get out of my room." Zea snapped, finishing the rules for the Akatsuki to follow. Kisame hesitated, but stepped into the room when Itachi shoved him a bit.
"We just want to talk." Itachi said, holding his hands up to show that he meant no harm. Zea sighed and shut off her laptop, turning her seat so that she faced the two.
"About what?" Zea suddenly got a memory and clutched at her arm, the pain from her grip making the memory go away.
Both members looked uneasy and Kisame a little queasy. "Why are you like this..." Both muttered.
Zea sighed, examining her arm as the memory she just shoved back came into her mind with memorial-fury. "Sit. This will take a while." She motioned towards the bed and folded her arms over her chest, not wanting to deal with hitting something and breaking it.
"So why...?" Kisame started, but couldn't finish.
"Five years ago, that is when it started." Zea said in a voice so cold that she herself just wanted a drink to forget any of this ever happened. 'Note to self, go to bar in the next two hours.'
"When what started?" Itachi inquired as he slowly sat down, tilting his head to the side a bit.
"Shut up and I might continue." Zea snapped and glared at him. "That is when the bullying started to get worse. I don't know why they bullied me in the first place, and they never told me either. On my birthday I was never happy, I just sulked, knowing that I was a year older and still alive. I was jealous of the people that died. If they can die young, why can't I? What makes me so special that I have to suffer living rather than dying?" She took a deep breath and continued. "November 5 2014, the day I just shut down and gave up."
November 5 2014.
A normal day, you could say, Zea woke up. She was happy to be alive (for now...). She had friends, family and a boyfriend! Who wouldn't be happy? Her grades were high and she was the top student you could find in this day and age. There was however, a small, tiny problem. Zea has mental issues. If she can't break it, she will just ignore it 'till it goes away. So when she got out of bed, a pain spread from her left hand, right into her heart. Her eyes grew hard. "So... It's today? Time to change back to my old self." She muttered, bringing her cheery mood back, just to fool everyone into a sense of security.
When she reached school, paranoia struck like a tidal wave. She was twitching while chatting happily to her friend, though the 'friend' didn't notice anything off about her. 'Good, that means it's working.'
The day passed by, until the bell for second-break sounded and Zea rushed out of class, her paranoia making her think and run fast towards the bathrooms.
"This is it Zea." She whispered to herself. "The day you say goodbye." She started a mantra in her head: "break or leave, hurt and be hurt, trust leaves you deceived, don't trust anyone. They will hurt you." With that she left the bathroom.
"Hey, Zea! Wait up!" Called a boy from behind as she jogged to the small shop selling sweets, fully intending to buy herself enough to cause a sugar-high.
"Yo, Gian, what 'cha want?" Zea asked as she asked the lady for 3 energy bars (lord help us).
"I need to talk to you..."
"About?" Zea felt a bit of pain behind her rib cage where her heart was supposed to be. She knew what was coming.
"About us... You see, it's not working anymore..."
"Oh. Well, then leave my sight please, before I hurt you." Zea said in a dead voice, paying the lady at the shop, taking her candy and walking away like a robot void of emotion.
"Wait!" The boy, Gian, called out, but Zea didn't stop, she kept walking. "Zea! Don't you even want to know why I'm breaking up with you?!" He yelled running after her. Gian came about two inches behind her when she stopped, making him crash into her.
"No, I don't. Because I already know." Zea said, her voice cold, her heart broken beyond repair, and she herself a broken doll. Gian sat on the ground, watching as she turned around to look at him with dead eyes. "You hate me, I annoy you, you despise me, you think I'm weird, you think I don't belong, you think I'm insane. Guess what boy," she started snarling like an angry kitten, "everyone hates me, I don't belong, I AM WEIRD, I am insane, but most of all I AM DEAD!" She screamed in his face and before he could blink, her fist had connected with his face, knocking him out on impact. "Stupid, pathetic human." She spat and walked off, leaving the scene, as well as her happiness, behind her.
"Ooooo the fairy is pissed!" Came a taunting voice to her left. Zea froze. "Awww, is the little girl sad? Did someone chop down her tree?" The voice continued. The gears in her head were slowing, bringing reality crashing down on her inch-by-agonizing-inch, until she snapped. "Poor fairy, she is mad because so-" The voice stopped. Zea had punched the kid in the throat.
"You were saying?" She asked calmly, looming over the boy as he held his throat, trying to breath.
"Fucking crazy bitch!" He yelled, scrambling to stand then sprinting away as fast as possible. The whole area had cleared within a one-mile radius, leaving Zea in the spotlight.
Slowly, soft laughter started to fill the space, growing louder with each passing second. Growing more crazed than ever. Zea stood in the middle of the circle, laughing.
"I'M CRAZY! I'M A BITCH! I'M DEAD!" Zea yelled, laughing all the way to class.
-Now-
"I don't get it." Kisame said flatly, staring at the girl with a blank look. Zea's head snapped up.
"And you never will. You will never understand the pain I went through everyday before and after that. No one will save me, no one can save me. I have to die in order for the world to be happy." She said with venom, standing from her chair and leaving before she could be questioned on what the fuck it was she meant. The only thing on her mind is getting alcohol in her system.
Itachi just sat there, the gears in his head slowly turning, his mind connecting invisible dots until he figured it out. "Kisame..." He whispered.
"Yeah?" Kisame said, a little uneasy.
"Let's get out of the room before she comes back, I have a feeling she won't be in any mood to see us."
"Ya know what, that's the most I've heard you speak, as in ever." Itachi sent Kisame a glare before swiftly exiting the room, the shark following after with a sulking face.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
