Okay, so my parent's friends are in my house and they are all really nice. I had to go out and get ice and I was singing to Ke$ha the whole way. Haha, I'm excited to eat some food! The last time I ate was at 2pm, it is now 7pm. This little writer is HUNGRAY! ^w^
I awoke with Piku laying across my face, nearly suffocating me. I sat up slowly, my stomach slowly lurching again. I softly set Piku down then I ran to the bathroom, getting sick again.
Do I have morning sickness or something?!
I cleaned out my mouth as I had the previous morning, gagging as the mint mixed with the acid flavor. I sighed and walked back to the bedroom, seeing Sai still sleeping, Piku now laying on his bare chest. I smiled softly and looked at my watch.
I woke up an hour early...
After getting sick I didn't have the need to go back to sleep again. I sat on the edge of the bed and scratched my head, trying to rid my mind of last night.
"Dump that boy!"
Ino's words echoed through my mind.
"I already did." I felt my throat swell and my eyes burn.
I stood from the bed and went to my clothes, quickly getting dressed for work. After I was completely ready, I still had 45 minutes before Sai would most likely wake up. I sighed and went to his small kitchen table. I saw my phone blinking.
I missed another call?
I opened my phone and saw that Sasuke had called me again, an hour after the usual ones.
Did he see the note?
I opened my voicemail and went through them quietly.
"Naruto! You ass! Why are you ignoring me!?"
Delete.
"God damn it! What is up with you?! I swear you are the worst human alive!"
Delete.
"Naruto, I'm coming home! You better be there!"
Delete.
I finally made it to the last one after going through 50 of mainly repeated commands.
"N-N-Naruto... I got your note... I just... I can't..." A long pause made me feel like it was over, "...I'll get you back somehow... trust my words. I know you might not l-love me anymore... but I WILL get you back, even if by force." Sasuke's voice had gone from distraught to cunning and angry.
I ended my voicemail and set my phone down.
You can't have my heart anymore... baka.
I closed my eyes and took in deep breathes, calming my racing heart.
My phone began to ring and without looking I pulled it up to my ear, "H-Hello?"
"Naruto Uzumaki?" The voice on the other end was happy and familiar.
"Deidara?" I asked, surprised.
"Yep! How have you been? I wanted to talk to you about some stuff, un. Can we talk over dinner tonight or something?" He asked shyly.
"Yes that would be great!" I forgot about dinner with Ino, "Well... I have dinner plans tonight with 2 other friends... Do you want to join?" I asked.
"I don't know... I'm not very good with other people, un..." He sounded distracted.
"Are you going to come by the store today?" I asked as I heard Sai stirring in the bedroom.
"Yeah, I finished the book, so I need to return it."
"That was fast!" I smiled.
"It was so good I didn't want to put it down, un." His tone held a smile.
"Well we can talk about dinner when I see you later!" I laughed.
"Naruto? Who are you talking to?" Sai came around the corner, yawning.
"A friend," I looked over at Sai and saw him coming over to the kitchen, pulling out some eggs.
"Do you want a breakfast bear again?" He asked.
"Sure, that would be great." I smiled.
"Okay, and Naruto?" Sai looked at me with a smirk.
"Yeah?"
"Your friend is still waiting on the other line." Sai laughed.
"Shit!" I picked the phone back up to my ear, "I'm so sorry Deidara!"
"Who was that?" Deidara laughed nervously.
"A childhood friend of mine, I'm staying at his place until I find a house."
"Is he the reason you can't read at home, un?" Deidara asked, an intimidating tone in his voice.
"Oh no! I moved out of that house last night." I laughed nervously.
"Moved out? Why?" Deidara was confused.
"Ummm... Can I tell you later?" I asked, seeing Sai give me a sad look.
"Sure, I'll come by at around 6, is that alright?" He asked, a soft typing sound in the background.
"Sure! If Sasori is there... don't talk to him, just hide in one of the aisles until I come in." I growled.
"Is Sasori mean or something, un?"
"You could say that..."
"Okay, well... I'll see you later."
"Yep!"
We both exchanged a soft, "Bye." before hanging up; I looked up to see Sai already done with breakfast.
"Who was that?" Sai asked.
"Oh, it was a friend." I smiled.
Sai peered at me suspiciously, "Where'd you meet this friend?"
"At my store yesterday, he is a frequent costumer." I smiled.
"Okay, don't get too caught up in strangers, they're dangerous." Sai sighed and gave me my plate.
"Okay Mom." I laughed.
Sai's cheeks flushed and he looked away as he began eating.
"Oh yeah! Can he eat dinner with us? He's not good with people and I think he's new to town. Maybe we can all become friends." I smiled as I cut into the bear's paw.
"I'm fine with it, just don't invite anyone else." Sai growled.
"Like who?" I reached my chopsticks forward to take off the bear's ear.
"Like Sasuke." At his name my chopsticks missed the ear and I decapitated my bear.
"Don't speak his name anymore." I growled menacingly.
"O-Okay..." Sai just stared down at my bear's head.
I ate the head angrily and finished the whole plate quickly before my phone buzzed, telling me to get to work. Sai washed the dishes and headed back and quickly got dressed. We left the building together and walked to work. It was twice as long to walk, but it was less traffic.
"If I pay rent with you we could save up a lot of money and eventually buy a good place to live in, one more spacious." I smiled to Sai.
"You plan on living with me longer?" Sai was surprised.
"Well... if you're okay living with an idiot like me-"
"I would love to." Sai looked away and buried part of his face in his white scarf.
"Great!" I smiled as we got to our separating points.
"Well I guess we have to split up again." Sai smiled.
"Yep! See you later!" I ruffled his hair and headed over to work.
I entered the building and saw Sasori sitting at his desk, his headphones in.
"Sasori~!" I sang at the desk.
He didn't look up.
"SASORI~!" I sang louder.
He still looked down, writing something in a worn spiral notebook.
Damn him and his loud music!
I went around the back of the desk and read some of his writings over his shoulder.
"...I buried my face in his neck and softly cried as his words quaked my world, sending me off balance..."
I smirked and grabbed the string of his ear bud and pulled it out, "Sasori." I whispered into his ear.
"AHH!" Sasori screamed and fell out of his chair.
I laughed so hard my side got cramps.
"Your face!" I pointed at him and laughed even harder.
"S-S-Shut u-up!" Sasori's eyes were filled to the brim with tears and he was covering his red cheeks with a shaky hand.
I knelt down, getting close to his face, feeling bad that I scared him now.
"Sasori... I didn't mean to make you cry..." I felt bad.
"S-Shut up! I'm n-not crying!" He sniffled.
I reached forward and wiped away his tears, "I'm sorry."
His eyes widened as he saw my hand pull away, "I don't know w-why... I just b-began crying when I h-heard your voice..." He sighed and rubbed his eyes.
I smiled faintly and leaned forward, wrapping him in a hug, "I won't speak if you want." I whispered as I rubbed the back of his head.
He hesitantly embraced me back, "I love your voice, don't stop speaking to me..."
He's like a child...
"Right now I need people by my side, please don't leave me alone..." I whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Naruto?" Sasori laughed a shaky laugh and tightened around me.
"S-Sasori... I never told you how much I appreciated your presence." I cried hard into his arms.
"I'll always be here, I won't leave your side." Sasori kissed my ear.
My heart beat was thumping really fast and I felt my face heat up.
"You sure you want to work for an idiot like me?" I laughed and pulled back, looking into Sasori's eyes.
He smiled and leaned forward bringing his face close, I squinted my eyes out of habit.
His tongue swiped up both my cheeks, my tears disappearing, "It's because your an idiot that I love working for you."
I opened my eyes and looked up at the clock, I was 10 minutes late for my kids, "Shit! I'm late!" I looked down at Sasori and saw something in his eyes.
He was holding something back, holding in something that he wanted to say.
I smirked and leaned forward, kissing his nose, "Be back later!" I laughed and ran to my locker.
I can afford to be risky now, I'm single.
I laughed as I put on my coat. I rushed upstairs and saw all the kids sitting with bored expressions.
I smiled, "Well I guess I should just leave if everyone looks so depressed..." I announced loudly and began turning around.
"NO!" The kids ran up and grabbed my coat.
I looked down at them smiling, but the look on their faces made my smile fade.
"What's wrong?" I knelt down as a slow panic rose in my chest.
"K-Konohamaru hasn't come out of his room yet..." A little girl looked terrified.
"We heard him screaming and arguing with someone..." A boy tightened his grip around my arm.
I stood and brushed past the kids, "Don't go in there Naru-nii! It's scary!" A little girl screamed.
I turned back with a smile, "It's my job, I have to go in."
I neared Konohamaru's door and took in a deep breath. I grabbed the handle and opened the door slowly.
"Konohamaru?" I asked, looking inside.
The room was a mess; the chairs in the corner were flipped, the paintings on the walls fallen or tilted. Small claw marks were next to his unmade and destroyed bed. It looked like a monster had been released and Konohamaru the only survivor.
He was sitting in the corner of the room, clutching his head, "He's going to kill me... He's going to kill me..." He was whispering over and over.
I carefully neared him and knelt by him, "Who's going to kill you?"
"K-K-Kono... He's going to kill me!" He screamed.
"Konohamaru... did you take your medication today?" I asked, placing a soft hand on his shoulder.
"N-No... He said he would kill me if I did." He cried.
"Don't let him control your life like this. If you ignore him he will eventually leave you alone. You need to take control of him sooner rather than later." I growled lightly.
"Naru-nii?" Konohamaru looked up at me with tear filled eyes.
"TAKE CONTROL!" I yelled.
"I will!" He yelled back with determination in his eyes.
"GOOD!" I yelled and lifted him off his feet.
I carried him out to the medication cabinet and saw his cup still sitting out. I set him down and placed the cup in front of him with a cup of water.
"Drink up." I stood over him with a stern look in my eyes.
"O-Okay." He grabbed the pills and swallowed them down with the water.
All the other kids hid behind me and watched carefully. Konohamaru looked up at me and smiled.
"Open." I asked and saw all the pills gone when he opened his mouth, "HE IS CURED!" I lifted his small arm and smiled at all the kids.
"YAY!" They laughed and hugged him, happily telling him to play.
I looked at the time, "Oops! I gotta go kids, I have my art class. Mrs. Hinata will be around at 4pm." I ruffled all their heads as they pouted.
I rushed downstairs and got on my art apron. I went to the art room and passed a blushing Sasori.
"Sasori~! Your face is red~!" I sang and winked at him.
"SHUT UP!" Sasori growled and threw a stapler at me, but missed.
I laughed and opened up the shop.
I should stop provoking him before he actually DOES hit me.
Okay, so ending it here, was it good? A good little moment between Sasori and Naruto. I'm thinking of having Naruto meet all the Akatsuki and Sai getting jealous as our oblivious hero gets hit on. Mwahaha- *coughs roughly* hahaha...
