Elli's POV
I slowly open my eyes and see I'm in a room that looks like mine but then I notice all the clay and quickly guess its Deidara's room, I look around more and finally spot him nearby sitting in a chair reading a book,
I slowly sit up and rub my head, "what happened?" I ask him and he jumps slightly at seeing me but then lightly smiles as he puts his book down,
"well you looked into Itachi's sharingan who was trying to stop you cause he thought you were a prisoner trying to escape hmm," he explains while he walks over and sits on the bed beside me, "hey… what were you about to say before you passed out hmm? I didn't really hear but apparently it was enough to stop Itachi from killing you un,"
I pause a moment then rub the back of my head and smile apologetically, "ah sorry Deidara, I cant really tell you… I can only tell Itachi," I explain and he pouts but nods, 'probably trying to find a way to beat Itachi again' I think then look around the room more closely now that I'm more awake.
That's when I finally notice the dark figure standing in the door way watching us, I lightly nudge Deidara and when he looks up at me I nod my head in Itachi's direction and he turns to look at him, Deidara quickly stands back up and crosses his arms over his chest as he stands in front of me, "what do you want Uchiha hmm?" Deidara asks him rudely
Itachi stares at us and everything goes really quiet for a moment as he looks between us, finally his eyes land on me but I notice their not red but are actually black, he then turns back to Deidara and his gaze seems to harden, "leave," is all Itachi says but Deidara stays still and after a heated glare off I finally stand and put my hand on Deidara's shoulder.
"Dei its ok… you can stay outside the door and come back in after we're done talking, ok?" he bites his lower lip in thought for a moment before he nods, "alright hmm… but if he tries anything you don't hesitate to let me know and I'll kick his ass un," he states loudly and I smile a bit as I watch him leave and glare at Itachi before he leaves and closes the door behind him.
Me and Itachi stare each other down and I wont lie, I am pretty scared right now, Itachi could easily kill me without hesitation but Iris told me he only does it to keep his cover or unless he has something to gain so maybe if I don't tell him anything I'll stay alive,
We're both quiet for a moment before Itachi breaks the silence, "what do you know about Sasuke?" he asks
I'm quiet for a second before I gulp and answer him, "my cousin, Iris, told me that if I'm ever taken by the Akatsuki then I should ask you to help me escape because if I don't meet up with her soon then she's gonna find Sasuke and tell him everything about the Uchiha massacre and what she knows about Madara Uchiha,"
Itachi goes quiet again then gives me a once over before staring into my eyes, probably to see if I'm lying then he light nods which I almost missed if I had blinked before he turns and leaves the room,
Not a second after he leaves I see Deidara come back in and I release a long breath I didn't know I was holding before I sit back down on the bed, Deidara comes over and sits beside me and puts an arm around my shoulders,
"you ok hmm?" he asks and I smile up at him and nod,
"never better," I reply
Iris' POV
"Sasuke," I whisper and stare at him while he stares right back, 'of course I had to pick Sasuke's room, its like I'm stuck in a crappy fanfiction and everyone's laughing at me, sad face,'
I stiffen when I hear some more footsteps go past the door and I watch Sasuke to see if he'll rat me out but he remains silent as the sounds in the hall go quiet, I sigh then go to lean back against the door but something pokes me in the back and I flinch,
"what the hell?" I reach behind me and feel something sticking out of my back, I carefully grab it and slide it out, whatever it is its long and really in there, I finally get it fully out then relax against the door as I bring my hand around to look at it but what I see makes my body go stiff again,
It's the needle Kabuto was trying to use to inject me with something, "ah fuck" I grumble to myself as I slide down to the floor and stare at the small amount of the liquid still in the syringe,
I hear the sound of shuffling as my vision starts to go slightly fuzzy but its hard to tell with how dark it is in the room, I look up and see Sasuke slowly get up from his bed and walk over to me before he kneels down in front of me and looks me in the eye. He then reaches over and takes the needle from me before he stares at it a moment,
He then takes my hand and pulls me to my feet, 'when did his touch feel so hot? Wait has he even touched me before, maybe I'm just crazy, hell I'm in a room alone with Sasuke and I'm not trying to hump him so maybe I'm dreaming and I'm still with Naruto in the clearing,'
But I'm suddenly pulled from my thoughts when Sasuke tugs me over to his bed and he pushes me to sit down, "stay" is all he says and I grudgingly obey, 'I hate being treated like a dog,' but that thought makes me smirk slightly, "woof"
Sasuke chooses to ignore my comment before he looks back to the needle then back up to me, he then leans in really close to my face and I can feel a small blush forming, "what?" I ask and he reaches up and touches my shoulder,
His touch warms my skin and gives me goose bumps, I glance over to my shoulder then back up to his face and I cant help but lick my lips at the look he's giving me, I cant even describe the look, it was like he was calculating me and it feels like he's seeing threw me but before I can do anything he pulls away from me and I whine slightly at the lack of heat,
"you were injected with a type of narcoanalysis and aphrodisiac, that's why your acting this way," he tells me,
I blink up at him, "a who da what it?" is my clever reply, I stare at his lips as he talks and I cant stop my mind from going to the gutter with that he could be doing with those lips,
"idiot… it's a mixture of a truth serum and a drug that makes your hormones act up," he explains to me, I blink and force myself to look away from him and rub my arms trying to get the heat back,
"so basically I cant lie and if you touch me it makes me horny… well that blows," I lean my head back and rest it against the wall as I flatten my legs on the bed and stare up at the ceiling,
In the corner of my eye I see him staring at me again, I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm down, "Sasuke stop staring at me like that… its making my heart beat faster,"
I cant tell if he stopped or not but he probably hasn't, "what's been going on in Konoha?" he suddenly asks and I quickly pick my head up and stare at him, I slowly sit up and pull my legs in to sit cross legged,
"wow… that's something I never expected to hear coming from you… um… well everyone seems to be doing alright, my cousin actually ran around meeting everyone and I only met a few people but Kiba's still a dork, Kakashi still runs late and makes crappy excuses, Sakura is still annoying and Naruto is still Naruto," I smile when I think of Naruto,
"he still trains hard whenever he can to get you back, takes all of Sakura's crap and Sai's jokes, eats ramen like there's no tomorrow and still acts like Konoha's knuckle head and loudest ninja who wears orange, he's got tons of friends who support him and he's just Naruto,"
Sasuke stares at me a moment and I slowly lose my smile and blink, "what?"
"you like him," he openly states, I blink again then smile, "of course I like him, Naruto's the best and even though he has the Kyuubi sealed in him doesn't make him the demon and I really care about him," I tell him with no shame, I got rid of my shame years ago and it just makes my life easier.
"do you love him?" he asks and I tense up a bit, I bit my lower lip as I think about it,
"in the few days I've been around Naruto I've come to really enjoy spending time with him… he's the kind of person I would want to be around all the time… but… love is a really big step that people step into way to quickly instead of thinking about it, they don't take time to really see if its love and just assume its true love… I've done that before and I deeply regret it cause the guy was an ass… so to say I love Naruto after only spending a day with him would be a lie… but I wouldn't be lying when I say I wanna spend more time with him to find out if I can love him," I tell him as I get a big smile on my face,
"you're a strange girl," is all he says before it goes quiet again.
Elli's POV
"Uno!" I hold up my final card and look over to Dei and see him with what looks like a small hand full, basically saying he's failing at this game and that makes me laugh,
He glares at me, "shut up un! I'm just letting you win so maybe I'll get a treat for being a gentleman hmm," he tells me which makes me laugh more and go 'aww' but he rolls his eyes and puts down some cards before I pout and have to pick up eight,
"damn you master exploder," I smirk slightly and he just smirks back
"pay backs a bitch sweet heart hmm," he winks at me and I roll my eyes trying to fight the blush, "so you were talking about your home un?"
"ah right, well its really hard to explain… maybe you should just come visit and see for yourself hmm?" I reply and he looks up from his cards at me and blinks,
"you want me to visit your home un?" he asks surprised that I would say that, I just shrug and nod,
"well yea, I mean I'm probably not gonna be staying here for much longer and me and my cousin are gonna find a way home cause we cant live here, we don't have skills that'll work in this world," I explain and he lightly nods but I notice he seems to deflate a bit,
I tilt my head to the side a bit as I watch him, he seems to get a sad look in his visible eye and I cant help but try and think of something to make that smile come back, when suddenly it feels like a giant light bulb turn on over my head,
"hey Dei why don't you come with us?" I ask excitedly, he quickly looks back up to me and blinks a few times, "what?" he asks sounding surprised
I smile at him and move a bit closer, "you should come with us, I know the Akatsuki forced you to join them so you don't wanna be here, also if you stay here then your gonna have to fight Sasuke and you'll end up using the mouth on your chest to blow yourself up but it wont work so you'll have died for nothing… if you come to our world you could easily get a job as an artist or even a demolitionist and get paid a lot of money for your work,"
Deidara stares at me like I'm crazy, "what about my hands hmm?" he asks, "we have fingerless gloves you could wear while your out," I explain and see that he's slowly starting to take it in and starting to like it.
"but what about my revenge against that jerk Itachi un?" he asks and I give him a look that says 'are you serious?' as I roll my eyes, "you're a big idiot if you want revenge to rule your life, I would think someone smart like you would rather enjoy blowing things up or making art, unless you don't think art is fleeting?" I glance over and see him frown,
"of course art is fleeting un! fleeting art is everything in this world that makes sense and I would never give up my art for anything or anyone un!" he replies loudly and I giggle a little,
"so you'll come with us and forget about the damn Uchiha?" I ask just to make sure and he folds his arms and nods then puts down his last card on the pile as he grins,
"I win hmm," he says as my jaw drops and my eyes widen while I try and figure out how he did that, I forgot we were even playing, I must have been playing without realizing it,
"well damn… I guess you win… dammit I lost the game!" I throw my last two cards down showing I would have won if I had been paying more attention,
I glance up to Deidara as I pout angrily but he leans over and lightly kisses my cheek which makes me blush bright red as he laughs and that slowly makes me smile,
'I guess losing this game isn't so bad if my consolation prize is him,' I slowly start laughing with him.
Rin: Yay Deidara's coming home with us *jumps around then does happy dance*
Ayame: sorry the chapter was so short, but the plot will thicken as we head to the double digits chapters, thanks for staying with us for so long
Rin: yea thanks, if you keep reading and leaving comments, that gives Aya an excuse to keep writing
Ayame: but my next chapters may take awhile because our anime convention is a week away and after that I'm going to Hawaii for a week so I wont be home to write more (although maybe it'll give me idea's for later chapters)
