good reading!
Shiaru and Iruka.
Shiaru's POV
After 3 hours of trying to calm down Yui, and stopping her from jumping out of the window to look for Rye, I got exasperated and grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.
Shiaru: God dam nit! Get a hold of yourself! She'll be all right on her own!
Yui: No she won't! Would happen if she's lost in the wood, on a mountain or…
Shiaru: You worry too much! Now shut-up and go to sleep!
Yui: no! Not until I find Rye!
I stopped shaking her. I was getting tired, and I wasn't even the one with over quickly healed wounds!
Shiaru: I give up…
I let myself fall down on the bed.
I was worried to, but I wasn't killing myself with worries like Yui! I moved my head to look at Iruka. I swore I could feel that he was gazing at me. Well I guess it's true because I met his eyes, and he started to blush. He must have felt that he was found out. I continued to look at him… his cute face, his brown chocolate skin, and his haircut…
He wasn't wearing his headband… but his hair was till neatly brushed, pulling his front hair back to tie them into a ponytail
The day I met Iruka, he wasn't wearing it too.
Then, I remembered that day. And what she did with his hair…
He looked so much like Haku-kun…
The boy that I spent my childhood with. The boy that I first fell in love with…
I tried to remember what happened the day I met Iruka. It was a bit like a dream…
Flash back
Ugg, I'm tired…
I was half awake you could say.
I had one of those major headaches… but not only that. My body was aching. Really bad. I felt so numb… I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't.
I tried to remember what happened the night before.
Going out with friends, shopping, talking, black-hole…
Wait… did I say black hole? … I remembered the details… with a lot of screaming…
Nah… it must have been a dream or something…
Still, it was weird. 1: can't remember why I can't remember anything 2: why I have a headache 3: what was with that dream?
I tried to answerer those questions with logic…
1: Must have forced Yui and Rye to drink sake with me, so stupid alcohol erased memory and got wasted 2: hang-over and 3:… a night mare cuz of a book that I read…
Yeah… that made sense. But why did I drink sake? Oh well. I shouldn't try to think about that. I'll get regrets.
I turned around in the bed. I never was a sound sleeper…
I heard a noise. Like a chair being moved.
Must Rye or Yui. Surprised to hear them awake …
Wait… since when do day get up so early after being drunk? They NEVER get up at all! Normally spending the whole damn day in bed, ignoring school and everything. Very strange.
I moved around in the bed again. The covers… thy didn't have the same touch or sensation to them… I smelled them. Nope.
Mine smells like lilies. Sniff sniff. Can't be Rye's or Yui's. Yui have jasmines scented ones and Rye vanilla.
This smells like 'sniff sniff'… chocolate! Yes I said Chocolate. Have you ever smelled chocolate scented covers? What kind of person put's that kind of parfum on his or her's… GASP! This isn't my bed! Were am I then!
Footsteps… o my god, o my god, OMYGOD! What should I do! What! Ok, ok calm yourself Shiaru. Calm your hormones! (lol… the time of the week for my friend so… HAHAHAAHAHAHA I laugh at your face Julia!)
Closer.. closer.. I may just pee in my pants. speaking about pants, since when do I own sweat pants? Soft… hmmm… nope, I never owned any. I always borrowed some form Yui…
I was going to turn again, but I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Voice: Miss, are you awake now?
Wow… a shy and tender voice? Very cute… guess he's not a rapper.
I turned to his direction and opened my eyes.
Wow… my vision is really blurry. I'm really wondering if I got drunk now.
Shiaru: yeah… where am I?
Voice: your at my place. Uh… I hope you don't mind that I brought you here.
Shiaru: not really… why and how did I get here?
Voice: ah! Well… you fell from the sky, so I took you to my place. I wanted to take you to the hospital, but they were busy and…
The sky? Ok… that's weird and out of the ordinary. Well my life was never normal… so o well.
Shiaru: the sky? That's weird… what's your name?
Iruka: ah! Sorry. How rude of me. My name is Umino Iruka.
Shiaru: Iruka-san… I see. My name is Kyuubaki Shiaru. Pleased to meet you.
My sight was slowly coming back to me. Finally! I lifted myself upward. No use sleeping right?
I looked up and saw the man who's supposedly called Iruka. He was sitting in a chair from what I could see. Ok…
Look from the bottom to top!
He was wearing a blue navy sweatshirt with red swirls on each arm. Ok…
Turtleneck I see… I bit upper. And I saw his face.
Brown skin. A scar across his nose. Dark brown eyes and hair… hmm…. Well combed hair with a pony tail…
Woah! This isn't the 70's man!
Ok… now look carefully at his face.
He looked kinda shy. I started at him in the eyes and he blushed. Ouuuuuh… a shy guy eh. This is going to be interesting…
To tell the truth, he looks cute! I looked at him even closer. He looked familiar… did I see him somewhere before.
We just stared at each other. Staring… staring…
For some reason, I felt un-commutable. No, not that I'm NOT at my house and stuff. I mean… looking at him made me blush.
Woah woah! Hold one darn minute! Since when do I blush! The last time I blushed was when I was with Haku!
I miss him so much…
Dead silence… yes dead silence!
He coughed. Maybe trying to make some noise.
Shiaru: so…. Where are we?
Iruka: oh… um… the hidden village of leaf. Konoha that is.
Shiaru: Konoha… never heard of it…
Konoha… it rings a bell… o yeah! Yui and Rye were talking about it. The place where 'Naruto' lives and-
OMFG! Naruto! So I'm in a manga!
No wait… the black hole! We must have gotten into another dimension! That must be it!
Shiaru: um… Iruka-san, did you find some other girls?
Iruka: no I didn't. you were the only one that I caught anyway.
O no… Yui… Rye…. Where are you?
I stayed perplexe. Thinking. Thinking… what to do next? What could I do?
Iruka: but I did hear at the hospital something about a girl found at the memorial stone…
All bloody from what the nurse said.
What! A bloody body! Woah! Maybe that's Rye or Yui!
Shiaru: how did she say she looks like?
Iruka: I think dark hair… long dark hair. She couldn't see her face.
It's YUI! She must have fallen from the sky to! But on some memorial…
Shairu: I think that's one of my friends!
Iruak: your friends? Could you explain to me?
So I did. The morning to the black hole.
He stayed silent with bug eyes. Wouldn't you? Meeting a girl from some other dimension? Wouldn't you be surprised?
Iruka: aaah! That's incredible. If you want, we could go and see her after word.
Shiaru: really? Thank you Iruka-san!
I hugged him. Yes, I'm still in bed and all. I could feel him tense. I looked at him a bit and saw that he was blushing. Haha so cute
I let him go and I smiled at him. I knew he was blushing…the whole time!
I looked around a bit. Mmm… a simple apartment. Looks like his bedroom. Wood table with a stack of papers with pens and pencils, 2 chairs, bed, closet, door, 2 windows, lamps, lamp table…
O! pictures!
I got up. Iruka looked surprised and worried. I'm not THAT sick! Or hurt or fragile!
Shiaru: I just want to look at the pictures.
Iruka: ok. Are you hungry?
At that moment just, my stomach grumbled.
Shiaru: um… yeah hehe…
Iruka: good, I just made lunch. I'm just going to finish it. Wit right here.
Shiaru: okay.
He went out of the room. I walked around a bit. A bit woozy, but it's going to wear off… right?
I approached the pictures. They were framed and placed on the table. I took one and look at it carefully.
Iruka, standing next to a blonde haired boy. They look so happy. They were eating noodles… ramen perhaps?
I took the other one. It was a picture of 4 people. Silver haired men in the back, with a headband hiding his left eye. A pink haired girl in the middle, the blonde kid next to her, he was staring at a guy who was at the other side. He had raven blue hair. Cool. Is it me or does he look ridiculously like Yui. … o well. Maybe cuz of the grumpy look, the pale skin, the hair and stuff. A coincidence, I'm sure of it!
I took another one in hand. This one was taken in a room. Looks like a lounge room or something. Iruka was in it, with the same clothes now, but with a metal-headband and a green vest. Okay…
He was sitting on the couch, he looked kinda surprised. The silver hair dude was behind the couch, standing, with a guy with black fuzzy eyebrows and mushroom hair! Ew! He was wearing the vest, with what looked like a latex jump suit! Out of fashion! In the middle of them, was a young lady. With raven black hair, bangs hiding her face, she had gray eyes and she was wearing a sleeveless turtle neck blue navy shirt with fish nets? Yup fish nets covered the upper part of the shirt. Nice! This girl had good taste in fashion! She seemed happy. Wow… the girl looks so much like Yui! Even, I could have sworn that it was her! Maybe except the slight difference in hair cut, eye color and the smile, she looked a lot like her. … investiget later.
The other picture was a little boy with brown hair with a women with black hair and a man with brown skin and hair was next to him. They seemed really happy. the women had long black hair, tied in a hight pony tail and her skin color was really light! She looks so pretty. The man seemed nice with is smile and all. He had a lazy pony tail and his bangs were a bit covering his face.
Now the boy… he had brown skin like the man, but lighter. Must be the son and parents. He had brown hair with a pony tail. His bangs were free. Kinda covering his face. The 'M' shape hair cut! Cute!
Aww. They look so happy!
I just stared at the kid in the photo. Looked familiar. The scar on his nose… must be Iruka! Well I guessed that. But something more… his face…
The way he smiled, he looked…
He looks like…Haku-kun!
YEAH! Exactly like him! Except Haku-kun had pale skin and no pony tail. I hid the pony tail with my thumb. Yeah! He looks exactly like him!
"Shiaru-Chan!" he was smiling at me again… the memory of him came back clearly. I can still feel his hand talking mine…
Haku-kun…
Iruka: Shiaru-san, I'm back.
I turned to look at Iruka. He had a tray of sandwiches, 2 cup filled with juice and 2 bolls of soup. He came near and put the tray on the table. He smilled at me.
Iruka: hope you like my cooking. I'm a man, but I can cook!
I smiled back at him. But something was annoying me…
He noticed the picture in my hand and took it.
Iruka: ah! This is my family picture. That's my mom, my dad and me when I was 12. You see, this is the last picture we took.
I looked at him. He was smiling, but his eyes told me that he was sad.
Shiaru: did they die?
Iruka: yes. They were killed truing to protect the village.
Shiaru: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. I too have lost 2 people important to me…
We stayed silent a bit. Then Iruka patted me on the back and he gave me a chair. We ate and talked a bit.
The food was great and all, but that feeling of annoyingness was still there… I had to see…
Shiaru: um… Iruka-san, could I ask a favor?
Iruka: sure. Go ahead.
Shiaru: okay. Please don't move.
I leaned closer to him. He stated to blush. He must think I'm going to kiss him…
I reached for his hair. I grasped gently his well-combed front hair and released them.
The 'M' hair cut came out. I could see it… It as like if Haku-kun was back… but more mature and grown up…. O Haku-kun…
I looked at Iruka. He looked surprised. I smiled sweetly at him
Shiaru: sorry about that, I needed to check something. I hope you didn't mind.
Iruka: no..not at all! But, what did you do that for?
Shiaru: o.. Nothing. Could I ask another favor?
Iruka: sure, go ahead.
Shiaru: could I call you Iruka -'kun'?
E blushed… wouldn't you?
He nodded to approve. I smiled again and we continued to talk and talk…
END OF FLASH BACK
Aaa! Yup, I remember. Kinda awkward, but okay.
Yui: um… hey, can I ask something?
I looked at Yui. Finally, she stopped. Well, I hope so anyway.
Kakashi: sure, go ahead.
Yui: um… did you by any chance kept my stuff?
Everyone looked at each other. Kakashi looked tense. (yes, Kakashi, Naomi, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto are in the room)
Naomi: um… well we had to burn it. It as soaked in blood. We had no choice.
Yui: WHAT! You burned EVERYTHING!
Sakura: well… kinda…
Kakashi: except for this.
Kakashi took out form his pocket a silver chain with a gold ring in the chain. He gave it to Yui, she looked happy.
Yui: I'm relieved! I thought I lost it or something.
Kakashi: good thing I checked the pockets.
Shiaru: hey Yui-chan, isn't that…
Yui: yeah. I'm so relieved I got it back!
Naruto: hey, what is it?
Sasuke: it's a silver chain necklace and a ring doufuss.
Naruto: I know that Sasuke you bastard. I meant why is it important.
Yui: it's… it's something that I have left of the people I care about…
Everyone looked Yui. Poor Yui-chan… this is going to stay in her heart forever. Can't believe she's talking about it! O no… maybe she's going to…
Shiaru: um, hey Yui-chan, you shouldn't be talking about that.
Yui: what's the point Shiaru? So what if I talk about it? Won't make any difference.
Shiaru: Yui-chan! No more of that! Now, go to sleep. I'll come and see you tomorrow, okay?
She just nodded. I'm worried. I gave her a hug and left the room with Iruka. The other followed me, but Kakashi stayed with her.
I hope she won't do something stupid.
O please don't fall in the darkness Yui-chan! You'll be lost.
I gripped on my locket.
Haku-kun, please look after her. Tell Hikaru-san that she's in trouble. Please, I beg of you… She'll fall in the darkness again…
sooo? how was it?
anyway, so, what is the 'darkness' that Shiaru keeps talking about? what will happen to Yui?
find out at the next chapter! (that i'm almost finished) it's called
"the darkness surounds us, but the light will come"
