Chapter 6

"Damn it!" Yuki slammed the classroom door in anger and frustration. "Damn you, Inita…."

"What's wrong?" Karin asked. "She hung up?"

"…."

"Yuki?"

"A guy answered the phone…." He barely managed to murmur, flames flashing in his eyes.

"So?" TenTen shrugged.

"You don't get it, do you? A guy! A guy answered Inita's phone!" He punched the wall.

"…"

"You don't mean…"

"He said he was one of her lovers; her favorite…" He stared down at his desk, rage consuming him. "Her favorite…"

"Was he serious?"

"What else did he say?"

They stepped back as he turned around, lest he should throw something towards them. "He was…He's probably…No….."

"Yuki?"

"It sounded like…a serious make-out session…"

"What?"

"She was screaming his name…Screaming like she should have for me!"

"But what if it was only an act?"

"I thought so too…Till I saw this…." He showed them the picture.

"….."

"Whoa…He's hot…No wonder he's her favorite…."

"….What was that?"

"Uh…He doesn't deserve her?"

"Better…. I'm leaving."

"Wha?"

"Tonight, if I can convince my parents."

"You're so not gonna leave us…"

"Oh really?" he laughed, "Watch me."

Karin paused before rushing after him. "Yuki…Yuki!"

"What is it Karin?"

"I…Don't go after her…She hates you. And I've liked you since you came here…."

"….Sorry, but I'm just not interested in you…"

"Yuki…."

"Bye."

~some time later~

"Mom, I want to go back to downtown Konoha."

"Sure, honey. Just give me a few days. I have a business deal to close here."

"So, do I really have to go to school for those next few days?"

"Why?"

"I just rejected another girl."

"Aww…It's because of that Hashi girl again, isn't it?"

"Really, mom…You don't have to get so emotional."

"She's so cute…" She remarked before he showed her the picture.

"Is she still cute?"

"Very. Especially with that new boyfriend of hers."

"Mom! She's supposed to be mine!"

"I don't remember raising such a possessive boy." She laughed quietly. "If you really want her, it's obvious you'll have to get past the others who want her."


Inita laughed as she watched Naruto eat. "It's not going anywhere. The bowl is still right there."

Tomoyo shook her head. It was so unlike her to want to laugh…To want to smile. But now, thanks to Inita, an amazingly beautiful smile shot across her face.

Her new best friend's eyes lit up like fireworks. "I'm glad she's having fun." She thought.

"Ni- Ni-chan!" Deidara sat next to her. "What a surprise seeing you here."

"…." The hazel haired boy across from her narrowed his eyes unwelcomingly.

"Hey, Jenei."

"Nini-chan? What's with that?" Inita smiled. She was in a much better mood than she was earlier. He couldn't be that bad, could he?

"You tell me…" He leaned closer and whispered into her ear, "I-ni-ta."

The way her called her name…The distinct pronunciation of each syllable in a warm, seductive voice…She could feel her heart pumping madly; ever faster as he pulled away. She looked into his eyes. Those deep pools of vibrant blue mesmerized her…But she wasn't about to let him know.

"Inita?" Jenei shot her a confused glance.

"Well, it's obvious you have a sense of humor…" she remarked, coldly, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"And you have ice for a heart….Or do you?" He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer.

Just then, her cell rang. "Oh geez…Never a moment's peace."

"Who is it?"

"It's for you." She handed it to Deidara after a glance at the screen.

"Hey. Who's this?"

"You again?"

"Oh. Inita, it's what's his name…"

"Yuki…" he growled.

Inita rolled her eyes. Him again? Really, how persistent could you get?

"She doesn't want to talk to you."

"Give her the phone…"

"Say hi." He smiled, handing her the phone.

"Whatev…" she murmured, tossing it back at him.

"Ok. She said hi. What do you want?"

"I want you to stay far from her, for your good."

He yawned. "Is that all? With the number of guys she talks to, I'm lucky I get a chance at all. Hey, Inita! Smile." The camera on her phone flashed just as she turned from talking to Jenei and Naruto, catching the two boys in the picture.

"What…"

"Hang on…" He took another picture of himself with Inita, laughing.

"You're crazy, Deidara. But I have to admit, you're fun."

"Thanks, princess." He remarked as he sent the pictures to Yuki.

"Bye...Ryu, right?"

"Yuki…"

"Yea that. Later."

"Wait… Who are these guys?"

"Beats me. Later, Ryu."

"Yuki!"

Tomoyo spaced out for awhile, and then exploded in laughter. Naruto and Inita picked up and Deidara joined seconds later. Jenei was the only one with a straight face.

"What. The. Hell."

"Jenei…" Sasuke stood next to him. "What's wrong with them?"

"I don't know."

"…" Inita turned to Deidara, tears rolling down her cheeks, "That was hilarious…" She smiled.

He grinned back leaning closer. "Do I get a prize, princess?"

"It depends…What do you want?"

"I think you know…"

Sasuke glared angrily from one to the other. It was a rage; an anger which blew mere jealousy out of the water like a toy boat hit by a torpedo. As much as he hated Inita's attitude he had to admit she really had a hold on him.

"Ok…" She pulled him into a kiss. "There's your reward."

"I think I'm gonna be sick." Jenei and Sasuke chorused causing Inita to shift her stare over to them.

Inita smirked. "Are you?" Sasuke detected the plan in her eyes, but before he could move to prevent it, Jenei pulled Deidara away from her.

"Don't you ever go near her again, understand?"

"I thought you said she wasn't your girlfriend. So why do you care?"

"Because I know you're nothing but trouble."

"Hmm. I see. You're mad because you're outranked by me…It's because I'm the second most popular guy in school isn't it? Second only because of a Uchiha."

"Get out of here." Jenei raged. "She doesn't need guys like you."

"Fine…" he shrugged and turned to go.

"Hey, Deidara." Inita handed him a paper. "That's my cell number."

"Later, Ni ni-chan." He winked at her.

"What was that? You gave him your cell number?" Jenei turned his anger on her.

"So?"

"Ni ni-chan? You let him call you that?" Sasuke asked.

"Why does it matter?"

"It just does!" They yelled.

"oh…" Tomoyo covered her head with her hands, just in case solid objects should start to fly.
