Chapter Seven◊

Confused

I woke up in my room, my actual room, not my sanctuary. Maybe it was all been a dream. But I knew better than to think that, since I was still in the clothes I'd worn yesterday. Slipping from my bed I walked over to my bathroom, did the things to get clean, then packed up all of the stuff so I could sleep in my sanctuary and have the bathroom be used in there. Walking over to my closet I chose the clothes to wear. Another pair of combat boots that can to the halfway point between my knee and ankle with lace knee length tights and fishnets that went to my waist underneath them. Shorts that ended at my thigh covered those fishnets as I pulled on a maroon top that's sleeves flared out, which ended at my shoulder, with a broken black heart on it, though threads were there to try and mend it.

When I got to the stairs I already knew that I was going to fall, maybe not on the first step like last time but I knew I would fall. "Are you planning on how to fall, hm?" I couldn't help but grin yet again at how Deidara always ended his sentences.

"Nope, trying to plan on how not to fall, but all my friends know I'm clumsy!" I giggled to myself as I took my first step, almost tripping to be caught by Deidara. "See I can't plan how to fall, or not fall, it just happens!" He stared at me strangely, possibly wondering about my hyperness. Slowly I walked down the stairs with Deidara following shortly behind. I've only known him for two days, but it seems like we've been friends forever! When we got to the last step I stopped, let my foot linger in the air, step down, and then turn around to smirk at him. "Why are you up anyway? It's six in the morning."

He shrugged and asked me the same question, which I told him about school. After he left to go upstairs I went to the kitchen and decided to do them an act of kindness, and made them breakfast and lunch, since I wouldn't be around during those times. Once I was finished with that I went to my library and organized all my things into my dark purple sack.

Then I heard a car horn beep and ran to the door to find Uro smirking at me. "How much did you study for the test?"

"What test?" I did a mental check on all of the dates but couldn't find anything. Then he laughed, making me sock him playfully. "Don't freak me out like that you idiot!"

"Ha, it was worth it!" And with that I closed the door as he muttered something about if I was all right.

"Aw, you do care!" I wrapped my arms around his neck almost as if he was carrying me in a piggyback and smirked.

"Then nothing happened?" Uro sighed with relief as we came to a black truck with three rows, like Tami's, and I sat in the middle of the second row.

"I wouldn't say that." And silence ran over the truck as Tami asked what had happened, and if she had to kill some Akatsuki.

(Lines don't work…)

"So where did the bitch go?" Hidan, of course, spoke as he had finally appeared from that room Adiera had given him.

"She went to school," Deidara stated, playing around with the clay he held in his hand. "And she left something to eat in there, hm." He pointed toward the kitchen, though not looking from his clay.

"I wonder if she'll tell anyone of herself having chakra, since I felt no other chakra presence except for our own and her newly found one." Sasori spoke up as he was tinkering with one of his puppets that seemed to have been messed up by the smoke.

"All I'm wondering is when we'll be able to get home." Kisame sighed.

"I'll tell you the answer." Itachi came out of nowhere, along with Pein and Konan, Tobi following behind in a hyper motion.

(Lines don't work…)

"You've got to be kidding me! Now you've got chakra all of a sudden? This isn't fair!" Meme kept whining all the way to school as everyone gawked at me.

"So does that mean you're not from here?" Uro, who was driving, got everyone to stop gawking and just stare pleadingly at me.

"I don't know, I was going to call and ask my parents if I—" I was interrupted by Gina grabbing my phone from my sack and dialing my parents' number before putting it on speaker in less than ten seconds.

"Hello honey, what do you need?" My dad picked up as I heard my mom yelling for him to put it on speaker.

"Uh, Mom, Dad," I wondered if they were listening as they kept saying "hey" to me. "I've got a serious question that I need you to answer for me."

"What is it?" Mom asked as I heard my dad mumble the same thing.

"Well, you see, I won't go into details but can you tell me where our ancestors are from?" Silence took over the phone as I noticed right away that the speaker was shut off and the listening set to low, though I could still hear them murmuring something. Then they turned the speaker back on and asked why I wanted to know, stuttering at each vowel. "Um," I looked to the others for a good lie, which they all mouthed, though Uro kept his eyes on the road. "I just became interested in our background after an experience which, as I stated before, I won't go into detail of."

"We came from where we live now, enough said." My dad answered before my mom could. "You can look it up on the web if you want to—" However my mom stopped him from going any further as I heard the clicking of a laptop opening to find Gina logging onto hers. Quickly saying good-bye I ended the call and watched as Gina searched the Internet.
