Diedara tried to help me up and didn't understand why I was in the state I was in, and to be honest I didn't understand either. The emotion that swirled around inside me I've never felt before, how could I possibly understand it?
"Suzume, are you alright hn?" Diedara asked again.
"I don't know," it was the only answer I could really give him.
Diedara gave me a worried look before he helped me reach my room. After some convincing he left me alone with Konan. I curled myself up at the far corner of my bed, holding my knees to my chest. Confusion throwing me into such deep thought I didn't even realize that Konan was asking me a question. It wasn't until a shoe collided with my face did I wake up enough to acknowledge Konan was even in the room.
"Are you alright?" she questioned.
"Like you're really concerned," venom dripped from my words.
She threw the other shoe at my head. "God, I can be caring you know!"
Her anger flowed around her in a strong aura. I just placed my head into my knees not wanting to deal with her. I felt the threatening aura die down and the pressure on my bed near me. Her arms embraced me and pulled me into her warm embrace.
"What's wrong?" She asked her tone softer than normal.
That's when Konan and I started to become friends. One little turn of events causing something that everyone thought was impossible; it's a mirical. At that moment I don't know why but I told Konan everything that had happened, my confusion, frustration, and the weird sensation. I guess she understood though I wouldn't find out for a while on that. For that night I just sat in Konan's embrace letting her calm my troubled soul. She explained different things to me that I never knew in my life.

At school the next day it was awkward to be around Sasori. Just seeing him caused me to blush; my heart started racing and I know he knew it. That stupid smirk taunted me, teased me that it knew something I didn't. It knew why my body reacted this way, it knew that no matter what I tried I couldn't control it, nor understand it, and it knew the enjoyment Sasori got just watch me squirm in my discomfort.
Konan placed a hand on mine when we were sitting at lunch, "You okay?"
"I'm fine," I lied.
I wasn't fine. I was frustrated, no beyond frustrated! I didn't understand anything of this emotion. I've never felt it before, not from my family, not from friends, and certainly not from a male. This whole thing was new and that's what bothered me the most. The straight A student that excelled at everything didn't understand this simple emotion. Well it wasn't simple, I'll give you that one, but still! It bothered me to no end.
"Hey, Suzume," Diedara called from across from me, "You okay, un?"
"I'm fine," I said again putting up a face not letting those around me know how much this bothered me.
I felt it, his intense stare on me. Watching every movement I made, sending a chill down my spine. Why hadn't I noticed this before? Was it because what happened yesterday? So many questions flowed through me and I didn't know where to start to answer them.
"Suzume, are you sure nothings bothering you, un?" Diedara asked, concern rolled off his words.
"I said I'm fine," I snipped.
Quickly I got up from the table and walked away unaware of the figure fallowing me. I rounded several corners headed towards the dorms. My head working overtime to try to get some sort of answer, any at all would give me some kind of relieve.
A hand grabbed my wrist swiftly turning me around causing me to lose balance and fall into the warm chest of my attacker. In seconds my back collided with the wall, pain shot up my spin.
"You enjoy pushing me to the wall, now don't you?" I stated.
He smirked and chuckled slightly. "You have no idea."
"Why?" I asked.
His lips connected with my neck. I could feel the strange emotion bubbling up in my veins again. Frustration once again took over my thoughts.
"Because," he answered, not giving me anything to help my racing mind.
The frustration just kept building up and up until finally coming out as tears. Sasori must have felt them hit his skin because he drew back from his assault on my neck. He slipped his hands on either side of my head, his thumbs wiping across my cheeks; cleaning the tears away and almost the frustration as well. I looked into his amber orbs looking for an answer, but finding none. He leaned into me, our lips connecting making the feeling running through me erupt more. I liked this feeling though I didn't understand it I liked it. I mimicked Sasori's movement assuming that was what I was supposed to do. Sasori smirked against my lips and I cracked a smile. Slowly Sasori pulled away. He leaned his forehead against mine.
"Sasori, what is this emotion?" I asked finally.
"Love, ai shiteru Suzume," he stated.
"I think I feel the same way."
I smiled at him and he returned it.
