Celine's POV
Everybody stared at the two new hot transfers. Everybody whispered and giggled as they watched them stand in front of the room. I smirked knowing that Sasuke had met his match when it came to these two. They were hot, funny, nice and would help anybody who needed help. They were a bit mischievous sometimes but still the best.
Daisuke had orange-ish red-ish hair short hair that went down his neck a bit. He wore, some kind of bandages around his forhead, but it didn't stop his long bangs from going into his light green eyes. He wore a long strip of white cloth that he wrapped around his hands to wear kind of like gloves. Today he had on a tight black shirt and a pair of blue jeans. You could see all his muscles and abs, which weren't too bad. He was even pretty tall, which most girls he liked. Of course the girls squealed when they saw him running in the classroom sweating because he was late.
Haru had long, very light, almost white blue hair. His bangs went up a bit before laying over his left eye and his right eye was visible because he was always moving his bangs to the side of it. His eyes were a goldish yellow and made him look more serious than he was. He wore a black baggy jacket partly open so you could see white shirt underneath. He wore a pair of black pants and black shoes that looked brand new. Haru was a bit taller than Daisuke and it made him seem more older and I guess mature. The girls all swooned over him when we had walked into the classroom together, but soon scattered away as I glared at them.
Now they couldn't get near them because Kakashi had come earlier than usual to introduce them.
"We have two new transfers, please don't kill them," Kakashi sighed as he indicated to Haru and Daisuke. "Why do I always get the new student?" Kakashi said before Haru and Daisuke introduced themselves.
"Im Daisuke! Ill be here with you all from now on! I like Sports and I dislike bullies! Also if anybody messes with Celine Ill kick their ass!" Daisuke said smiling the whole time. I smirked at his weird introduction. I saw HAru shake his head before talking.
"Im Haru," He said, running his hand through his hair, "I guess I could say the same as Daisuke..pretty much."
"Right..." Kakashi said and pointed to two seats in the far back corner. Daisuke waved to me as they passed.
Normal POV
"Hey, Kiba and Gaara right?" Daisuke asked as he sat down across from Kiba and behind Gaara.
"Guy we beat on right?" Kiba said smirking.
"Right," Daisuke said still smiling.
"So how's you cover the black eye?" Kiba asked smirking.
"Haru helped me, thanks for your concern," Daisuke said. Gaara raised an eyebrow at his stupidity or was he just insane.
"I wasn't concerned, moron," Kiba said glaring.
"Whats yo-" Daisuke started to say but felt an arm on his shoulder. He turned to see Haru.
"They obviously don't like you so leave them alone," Haru said calmly. Daisuke stared at him blankly but then sighed.
"Fine," Daisuke said turning toward the board and humming to himself.
"You were dancing with Celine, right?" Gaara asked. Haru leaned his head to the side.
"Yea, we're old friends," Haru said.
"Old friends?" Gaara asked with doubt in his voice. HAru nodded.
"I'm Gaara," he said figuring he'd use the best method. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
"Haru," Haru said holding out his hand for Gaara to shake. Gaara looked at it and then up at Haru. Who in the hell shook hands in highschool? What was he, a rich kid?
"Yea," Gaara said and forced himself to shake hand with him.
"I hope you forgive Daisuke," Haru said smiling as he turned to face the front. Gaara turned back to his chair and quickly grabbed a notebook. He found a pen and quickly started to write.
Kiba, let's call a truce for now. We have to get rid of these two and Im sure we won't be able to alone. Unless you want Celine to date black eye over there.
Gaara ripped the paper out quietly and crumpled it into and ball. He looked back at Kiba. Kiba wasn't looking so he just threw it at him. It hit Kiba's chest and rolled onto the desk. Kiba looked down curious, and then looked at Gaara who nodded. Kiba quickly opened it and read it. Kiba grabbed his own pen and started to write before throwing it back at Gaara.
Fine, but only for now. Who do you think they really are anyways? They can't really just be her friend, she kissed blackeye within a few hours. Im gonna ask her about them later, that is if she doesn't kill me.
Gaara read it quickly and started to write.
Ill ask Temari and Hinata. If anybody knows who they are besides Celine, it'd be those two. Send a note to the jerk Sasuke too. He could probably help us.
Gaara threw the paper back and Kiba read it quickly. He looked at gaara and nodded before ripping up the paper into a million pieces and getting out his own notebook. Gaara watched as Kiba wrote quickly and threw the ripped out paper at Sasuke. Sasuke read it before looking back at Kiba and Gaara. He grinned and nodded.
"They're going down," Sasuke, Gaara and Kiba thought to themselves.
Celine's POV
"You three seem to be chummy," I said staring at Sasuke, Kiba and Gaara who were playing a two against one game of basketball for gym. Kiba grabbed the ball and held it as they all looked at me.
"So do you," Sasuke said smirking as he looked at Haru and Daisuke.
"They're two of my oldest and best friends," I said shrugging and glanced at the ball. "How about a three on three?"
"What?" Kiba asked.
"Haru, Daisuke, me against you guys," I said simply. I looked at Haru and Daisuke who both grinned.
"Do they even know how?" Sasuke asked.
"Of course we do," Daisuke said running towards Kiba and stealing the ball from him before he knew what was happening. Daisuke jumped and shot the ball towards the net. It was a swish, and Daisuke grinned. The ball lightly bounced on the ground as Gaara and Kiba watched it.
"Why not," Sasuke said angrily as he too watched the ball. I grinned. "You can even start off with the ball." Sasuke walked over to the now still ball and picked it up. HE quickly passed it to me.
"You're so generous Sasuke," I said getting into my usual competitive mood. I started to dribble and Sasuke quickly covered me. I faked a pass to the right and instead left, passing it to Daisuke. Gaara blocked him from making any shots so he started dribbling backwards until he saw Haru. He made a pass that was above Gaara and Haru jumped to catch it. As soon as he touched the ground, Kiba covered him, but Haru jumped again. Haru was taller than Kiba so he easily got the ball into the net.
I heard Sasuke growl as he picked up the ball before coming by me and giving me a confident smile. I looked at him curiously. He turned quickly and shot from where he was. It hit the backboard and went in. I looked from Sasuke to the net and smiled. This was going to be fun.
Haru grabbed the ball and passed it to me. I stared at sasuke for a few seconds before starting to dribble. Sasuke quickly went in front of me and I stopped. I looked around waiting for Haru or Daisuke to be open, as I blocked Sasuke from the ball, which was hard enough. Sasuke went for the ball and I realized I had to throw it now or never. HAru and Daisuke weren't open so i attempted a shot in the net, but it hit the rim. Daisuke ran for the rebound but Gaara was just as fast. They both jumped for the ball. Daisuke grinned as his elbow smashed into Gaara's face before he caught the ball and pushed it over the rim and down the net. Gaara fell to the ground just before the ball did.
"Are you okay?" I asked running over to Gaara and dropping on my knees.
"That was a cheap shot!" Kiba yelled.
"It was an accident," Daisuke said. Kiba and Sasuke glared at him, as Gaara grabbed onto my arm and he pulled himself into a sitting position.
"He didn't mean to, Im sure" Gaara muttered as he gave Kiba a weird look. Kiba immediately stopped glaring and Sasuke just looked away. Something was definitely up with these three.
"Maybe you should go to the nurse or something?" Haru suggested.
"Im fine," Gaara groaned as he stood up, at first shaking, but stopped after steadying himself on kiba.
"Are you sure?" I asked concerned, "It was a pretty hard fall."
"Let's just play," Gaara said grabbing the ball as he walked by it. I shrugged and got up. Maybe he didn't want his pride or something to be hurt.
"You pulled some cheap tricks," I said to Daisuke as we walked to our next class.
"Was it necessary to beat on them in basketball?" Haru asked sighing.
"They chose to give me a black eye, and I chose to give them a few bruises." Daisuke said shrugging.
"You've changed a bit, last time I saw you, you were always avoiding conflict." I said smiling.
"Avoiding does nothing," Daisuke said staring into space now. "I learned that with Ryuu." I looked down. The thought of Ryuu still depressed me even though I went and saw him every week pretty much.
"Whos Ryuu?" Temari asked coming from behind us suddenly. I quickly turned towards her.
"Ryuu is-" Daisuke started to say, but I covered his mouth before he could finish.
"Nobody.." Haru said and Temari stared at us.
"What he said," I said grimacing as I let go of Daisuke who bit my hand. I glared at him, "Immature."
"I couldn't breath.." Daisuke said and I rolled my eyes.
"Why can't you tell me?" Temari asked. I could tell she was angry and hurt. She did have the right seeing as we told each other almost everything. I really didn't want her angry and it wasn't that big of a deal anyway.
"Ill tell you at lunch, " I said sighing as the bell rang signalling we were late. Temari nodded and we ran to our next class.
We were outside ALL eating together, which was unusual. It was mostly just us girls together. Even Gaara, Kiba and Sasuke came after their basketball beating. They even sat together as though they were the best of friends since they were kids. Naruto sat nearby looking at them confused. Shikamaru was laying by, Naruto and Temari, asleep. Tenten and Neji were talking to each other and nobody else in particular. Sakura say beside me quietly drinking her juice.
HAru and Daisuke moved over to Kiba and the others and decided to bug them. Well, Haru looked as though he was trying to become friends. Oddly enough it looked like the other guys weren't against the idea. They seemed to like the idea. It made me a little suspicous but before I could think about it anymore I saw Hinata walking towards us.
"Who's Ryuu?" Hinata asked as soon asshe sat beside me . I stared at her, my mouth open so you could see the food I had been chewing. Temari and the others who were sitting there gagged.
"Temari!" I shouted after quickly swallowing.
"I wasn't suppose to tell anyone?" Temari asked and I shook my head as if it were obvious, "Well I only told Hinata.."
"Ryuu?" Naruto asked moving closer to us. Everybody else seemed to stop talking and looked towards me. I sighed.
"Why do you care?" I asked to no one in particular.
"Just tell them," Haru said shrugging as he turned his head to look at me.
"Its not like hes some kind of killer. He's more like the opposite.." Daisuke said. Everybody looked at me curiously except Haru and Daisuke who already knew him.
"Its my buisiness," I muttered to myself. Everybody stared at me waiting for me to tell them.
"Ill tell you," Daisuke said and everybody looked at him, "Ryuu was the singer in our band."
"In your band?" Temari asked.
"Yea, we used to be in a band. In middle school, so of course it was just for fun. We were good though," Daisuke said after some thought. I just layed back, it wasn't like it matter. I would have told them eventually. "We were bestfriends in middle school, until Celine moved, then it was just the four of us.
"Is he dead or something?" Hinata asked slowly, "And whos the other guy?"
"No, Ryuu's not dead but June is" I said sadly, "June was killed."
"Killed?" Gaara asked.
"Well she was supposedly kidnapped and we haven't heard from her since," I said my voice showing no emmotion.
"She's probably alive, so stop saying that Celine," Daisuke said angrily.
"Im just being realistic," I said, but I really hoped she was alive and safe too. I knew she hadn't been kidnapped, she had talked to me before she disappeared. June had been my best friend and I was able to read her like a book and forced her friend to tell her. She had run away. I was about nine when it happened.
-flashback-
I sat on my bed reading the new book my mom had bought me for my birthday. My bed was comfortable and I smiled as I flipped another page and continued to read. I loved reading books and I had no plans for the day, so I had decided to take a break for once. Ryuu and the guys had decided to go bug searching in the park, which I had refused to participate in. I had no clue what June was doing, but I was sure she was busy because she hadn't called me yet. I continued to smile as I had the whole day to myself. I flipped another page as I heard a door creak.
"Celine.." I turned to see June walking into the room as she closed the door behind her. I gasped and jumped from my bed as I saw the bruise on her cheek. It was huge and a dark purple and black. June sniffled before breaking out into tears.
"Why did he hit you this time?" I asked angrily as pulled her to my bed to sit. I sat beside her and she looked down to the floor. Her jet black hair hid her usually bright onyx eyes.
"He was drunk.." June said sobbing. She looked up at me and I noticed something was wrong. Something else was wrong.
"Is something wrong?" I asked and her eyes widened.
"Celine... Im sorry but I can't stand it anymore," June cried covering her face. I tried to comfort her but my effort didn't work as she continued to cry.
"You usually don't cry this much. Is something wrong?" I asked again.
"Celine...I have to leave! I have to runaway, I can't take it anymore," June cried. I looked at her surprised.
"You can't leave.." I whispered, "What will I do?"
"You have the others," June said calming herself down.
"They'll hunt you down," I said trying to convince her.
"I have a plan..." June sniffled and showed me a note from her pocket. I looked at her before I opened it up.
'I have kidnapped your daughter. You will never see her again and by the time you read this Ill be long gone with her. Don't come for her...'
I felt a tear slide down my cheek as I stopped reading the rest. I knew I wouldn't be able to stop her even if I tried. There was no point in even trying. I handed her the note back and looked across the room blankly.
"Celine?" June asked wiping the last of the tears from her eyes.
"You're really gonna leave us," I said smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" June asked worried. I slowly turned my head to look at her.
"I always thought I'd be the first to run," I said just above a whisper coldly, "I always thought you were the bravest, always taking the abuse from your dad and never running. You always got angry at him, but after would come crying to me. Even then I thought you were brave, and now you're the one running."
"Celine..." June said but I turned and glared at her. I saw the shock in her face and the silent tears slowly fell from her face onto her lap.
"Just go and leave us!" I shouted angrily, "Don't ever come back, if you leave! Never!"
"Celine, please...I'm sorry." June said standing up slowly as she grabbed onto her skirt and squeazed it tightly.
"Its your choice, you can stay or abandon us!" I said the tears dripping off my cheeks. I closed my eyes to stop anymore from coming out. I stood there waiting for her to hug me and tell me she'd stay, but I felt nothing and heard nothing. I continued to cry refusing to open my eyes. I knew she was gone and would never return. Not that she had much to return to. Just an abusive father and her friends who she didn't know loved her so much. I fell to my knees as I opened my eyes to see the room empty. The wind blew through my window and I stayed like that for hours, feeling empty and cruel.
"Celine!" I felt my body being shook and I looked up to see Ryuu holding my shoulders. Haru and Daisuke were behind him.
"I fell asleep...?" I asked slowly. I looked around the room frantically, "Where's June!?"
"She was kidnapped..." Daisuke said slowly as he showed me the paper from before. I felt more tears trickle down my face as I reached for it and opened it to see her writing. It wasn't a dream, it was all true.
"Celine..." Haru said, sympathy filled his voice as he hugged me. I felt four others wrap around me and I could feel my friends trying not to cry.
-End of flashback-
"What about Ryuu, why isn't he here?" NAruto asked quickly and I came back from my memories.
"Ryuu? A few years ago, after June disappeared, he found out he had a tumour in his throat. The doctors wanted to do surgery right away, but told him he wouldn't be able to talk or sing anymore. Ryuu loved singing so much and at first refused. But we finally convinced him he should live even if he wouldn't be able to sing anymore. After that he had the surgery and they removed the tumour successfully," Haru said slowly as I tried to get rid of the thought of June before tears came bursting out.
"And?" Tenten asked moving closer.
"Nothing much. He decided to get homeschooled after that and soon after my family moved here," I finished explaining for Haru. "Of course I still visit him every now and then..and so do daisuke and Haru." They both nodded.
"Why do you look so... sad?" Naruto asked hovering above my face. I pushed him away.
"Im not," I said sitting up.
"Celine dated Ryuu before she moved," Daisuke said and I turned to stare at him. Why did he have to bring that up?
"You did?" Kiba asked. I nodded.
"What about these two?" Sasuke asked and I looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Did you date them?" he asked nonchalantly. I stared at him in dibelief.
"No," I said and I saw Daisuke look down. Haru ran his hand through his hair.
"Of course Daisuke wanted too.." Haru said and Daisuke's head shot up.
"Whats wrong with you?" Daisuke asked angrily. I quickly got up and started to walk away.
"Celine?" Temari asked and I turned.
"Im thirsty," I said smiling as best as I could before walking off.
I walked toward the cafeteria but quickly turned right. I stopped walking after a few seconds and sat in the grass. I rested my head against the school and grabbed an extra juice pack I had. I popped the straw in the container and slowly started to drink it.I closed I sat like that in the sun for a while until I couldn't feel the brightness on my anymore. I opened my eyes to see Daisuke and Temari.
"Yeah?" I asked when they said nothing.
"Not coming back?" Temari asked.
"No, I think Haru and Daisuke have it covered," I said closing my eyes again.
"We stopped talking after you left.." Daisuke said. I felt him sit to the right of me and Temari sitting on my left side.
"Why?" I asked opening my eye so I could see him.
"You looked upset about June. You shouldn't be Im sure she's alive." Daisuke said smiling. I hadn't ever told Daisuke, Haru or even Ryuu that June had ran away. Of course they knew she was unhappy, but nobody would have guess her running away. I also felt that I shouldn't tell them, maybe because I was guilty from getting her angry and didn't want the others to hate her, like I had made it seem to her.
"Yea," I said slowly and closed my eyes.
"Im gonna go get another drink," Daisuke said getting up, "Ill be back." I nodded and I heard him walk away. After a few seconds of silence I started to talk.
"Daisuke liked me," I said suddenly.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Temari said. I shook my head.
"Its not anything too special," I said and it wasn't. "Daisuke liked me for a while but never had the guts to ask me out. Ryuu found out a few months after he started dating me. He felt guilty because they were bestfriends and he didn't know. I guess you could say Daisuke was a pushover because he never told anybody. That's why Ryuu wanted to continue singing. He felt like he'd be hurting Daisuke again if he let us down."
"Why didn't he break up with you for Daisuke?" Temari asked. I shrugged. "You guys aren't still going out, are you?"
"No, of course not. We're in two different cities and I didn't want a long distance relationship," I said. "I don't think he minded too much because Daisuke and him started being friends again without any 'guilt', I guess."
"Guys are weird.." Temari muttered.
"Speaking of guys, how goes it with Shikamaru?" I asked changing the subject.
"Good," I opened my eyes to see a smile escape Temari's lips.
"Make out session yet?" I asked. "Maybe a peck?"
"Of course not," Temari said blushing, "We only went to the dance together."
"I kissed a guy after singing a song with him," I said smirking.
"Who are you going out with anyway?" Temari asked staring at me curiously.
"Me? Nobody," I said calmly.
"Who do you want to go out with?" Temari asked smiling. I looked over at her but then heard Daisuke's loud call.
"Who knows.." I said getting up to go to him. Temari sighed and followed me.
"Are you not sure, or do you not want to tell me?" Temari asked walking beside me.
"A bit of both," I said and she stared at me. The bell rang and we ran up to Daisuke so we could walk to class together.
Temari's POV
I watched as Celine laughed and flirted with Haru and Daisuke. Or was she? Maybe she just talked that way to all guys, especially those two. It was bugging me now. For the last few days I had been asking her her who she liked, but she always had something to do or somebody would come and interrupt her. I was starting to get really annoyed, but there was nothing I could do but guess.
"Why so spaced?" Celine asked waving her hand in front of my face. Haru and Daisuke were both looking at me curiously.
"No reason," I said shaking my head and smiling. They shrugged and continued to talk about the upcoming basketball game. Haru and Daisuke had tried out for the basketball team a few days ago to Sasuke, Kiba and Gaara's dismay. Gai, the coach, immediately said yes.
"Celine I need to talk to you," Sasuke said coming out of no where. Celine stopped talking and looked at him.
"Im listening," Celine said. Lately she had been acting a lot nicer to Sasuke and not using her weird nicknames for him.
"Alone," Sasuke said nodding his head towards the door.
"Uh sure, meet me in the parking lot," Celine said to Daisuke and haru before jumping off the desk she was on and following Sasuke out the door.
"Do you guys always walk home together?" I asked.
"We live together so its easier than taking a bunch o-" Daisuke started to sat but stopped when he saw the surprised look on my face.
"L-live together?" I asked slowly unsure of what i had heard. Daisuke nodded.
"Celine didn't tell you?" Haru asked. I shook my head. She hadn't told me anything about living together with two hot guys from her childhood.
"We're living with her family until we get enough money for our own apartment or something," Daisuke explained.
"But don't you like Celine? ISn't that a little.." I said trailing off.
"Weird? Odd? Awkward?" Daisuke asked tilting his head.
"Yea," I said slowly.
"I like her...alot. But we're only living together in the same house. Its not like we're sleeping together... we couldn't seeing as her parents live there too," Daisuke said grinning.
"Sounds like you want to..." Haru said shaking his head. Daisuke just continued to grin.
"What about you Haru?" I asked. Now was the perfect time to see how he feels about Celine.
"What about me?" he asked.
"Do you like her?" I asked.
"Yea..." Haru said. Did everybody like her? "As a friend."
"Oh god, I thought everybody liked her for a second," I said sighing.
"I could see that happening," Daisuke said jokingly. I rolled my eyes and threw a pen from his desk at his desk.He looked surprised and Haru laughed quietly as I got up.
"Shouldn't you be going?" I asked. Daisuke jumped up from desk.
"You're right," Daisuke shouted. I grimaced at his loud voice.
"Are you two gonna be at practice?" I asked before they left.
"Band practice?" Haru asked and I nodded.. "Yea we will be."
"See you then," I said waving and walking passed them and out the school doors.
Sakura's POV
"So what did you want to tell us?" Celine asked as she lazily stetched her legs and squirmed on the chair she was on.
"I have to be somewhere," Sasuke said annoyed. I frowned.
"Don't mind him, he's just mad because Celine rejected him on another date," Naruto said cheerily. Sasuke glared and Celine looked towards them.
"I have plans with my family.." Celine said shrugging, "and every other time."
"Sounds like Sasuke is't liked very much," Daisuke snickered like a little kid.
"Shut up," Sasuke said lifting his leg so he could kick him while sitting. Daisuke tried to move quickly but was too slow for Sasuke. Daisuke glared and rubbed his sore leg as Sasuke smirked.
"And you got along so well this morning.." Tenten said sighing.
"We still have our differences," Kiba said faking a smile.
"We're getting off track 'cause of you," Temari said smacking Sasuke upside the head. He groaned and glared as he held his head.
"It was Naruto's fault," Sasuke said glaring.
"Just shut up," Gaara, Shikamaru and Neji all said at the same time. Sasuke glared but they glared back and he turned his head in defeat.
"What did you want to say?" Haru asked smiling. HE had a warm smile and it made me blush. I quickly shook my head though and started to talk.
"Umm right. You see my grandmother's sick and getting sicker, so my mom and I are going to be leaving the city for a few months to visit and take car of her," I said making it short. I looked around at everybody.
"Your grandma is sick?" Hinata asked and I nodded.
"Well how long are you going to be?" Celine asked sitting up straight. I could tell she was going to be angry.
"Im not sure. I might even be gone for a months, maybe a year," I said and I saw the girl's mouths drop except Celine's. She just sat there looking at me. I couldn't see any emmotions in her eyes. They were completely blank and unreadable.
"A year? You're kidding!" Tenten shouted. I just stared at them unsure of what to say.
"When are you leaving?" Celine asked. She was calmer than I had expected her to be.
"In less than a week," I said quietly.
"What about the band?" Gaara asked.
"We can't exactly play without a singer," Temari added in.
"We'll work it out," Celine said cutting off any other complaints. "Sakura's family is more important than the band."
"I know but.." Temari said but trailed off.
"Celine's right. I hope your grandmother gets better," Hinata said getting up to hug me. I squeezed her tightly.
"You'll atleast be able to play tomorrow, right?" Tenten asked.
"Of course," I said smiling weakly. I felt like I was letting them down, but if I didn't go I would regret it. My grandmother, not that I want her to, could die any second and I had pretty much the rest of my life to be starting bands. I felt guilty just thinking that, but it was the truth.
"Sasuke, come get some drinks with me," Celine said suddenly getting up, "I get thirsty when Im depressed."
"Im n-" Sasuke began but shut up immediately after seeing Celine's death glare. He slowly got up and followed her to the kitchen. It hurt to see him going somewhere alone with her even if it was just the kitchen. I hate to admit it but I was jealous of Celine. Lately she had been spending more time with Sasuke even if she said she didn't like it, but I could tell she did. She smiled everytime she bugged him which was the same as liking him to me.
"Will you visit?" Hinata asked after Celine and Sasuke had left, catching my attention.
"Of course," I said smiling weakly.
"We're going to be sending you the lyrics for new songs, so you better practice them!" Tenten ordered, "So we'll need the address."
"And you better practice the guitar so when you visit you can play," Temari added in.
"And you have to write everyday," Hinata said. I laughed.
"I can't write everyday, but Ill try," I said.
"Will you write to me too?" Daisuke asked sweetly.
"Of course," I said smiling. He acted like such a kid at times, it was pretty cute.
"How far away will you be anyways?" Hinata asked. I explained where my grandmother lived, which was the countryside and what the place was like. They seemed interested and I guess most of them hadn't lived anywhere else than the city. It was a little funny watching them listen closely to all the things you could do and how there was barely any stores nearby where you could buy electronics and fancy clothes.
As I finished up Celine and Sasuke both walked back into the room with a bunch of soda's in their arms. They quickly placed them on the table. Celine quickly jumped on the chair she had been sitting on before. She fidgetted for a bit before finally getting comfy.
"That took a while.." Haru said watching them both closely.
"Sasuke wanted to make lemonade, but I told him it was stupid so we fought," Celine said simply.
"Right.." Sasuke said. "Anyways, Im going home. Anybody else?" Everybody looked at him and nodded. I thought about going, but I decided against it. I was going soon and I didn't want to get attached to him even more. What if I came back and he had a girlfriend? My heart would shatter, thats what. I wouldn't be able to take it.
"Sakura!" I turned away from Sasuke to see Celine throwing a soda at my face. I squeaked as I quickly caught it. I looked at her and she was glaring at me. Unsure of what to do I placed the soda down and walked over to her.
"Are you stupid?" I whispered when I got close to her, "I didn't see it coming, luckily I got good reflexes!"
"Walk with him, dummy!" Celine hissed and pointed to Sasuke. He was still waiting even though nobody had even offered or agreed to go. I tilted my head as I looked at him and looked back at Celine.
"Bu-but," I whisperes and looked at him, "I can't."
"Go!" Celine said suddenly pushing me towards him with her long legs. I lost balance and bumped into him.
"I'll go with you," I said looking up at him. He slowly smiled, and I could tell it was a genuine smile for once. I smiled and glanced at Celine before he grabbed my hand and lead me out the door.
"By Sakura, bye Poultry!" Celine shouted. I felt Sasuke's hand tightened and I giggled.
"Bye!" Everyboy else said before we closed the door.
We hadn't said anything to each other as we walked. Sasuke held my hand tightly never letting go. I wasn't sure if he was doing it on purpose or if he just didn't notice, but either way I liked it. I liked the warmth and even the roughness of his hands. Somehow it made me feel...safe and comfortable.
"Would you be mad if I visited?" Sasuke asked suddenly, stopping to look at me.
"Visit?" I asked unsure.
"Yeah," He looked away and started to walk again dragging me along.
"What about you bet, isn't that against the rules?" I asked just above a whisper.
"The bets over," he replied not looking at me.
"You mean you and Celine are..?" I asked trailing off. I yanked my hand from his grasp. I didn't want to believe it. Celine had promised me she wouldn't, and now they were in love. They were probably secretly dating too. I hated Celine at that moment and felt I would forever.
"Enemies who made a tiny truce, but nothing special changed between us, " he said casually.
"Bu- but...don't you like her?" I asked confused. He turned his head to slowly look at me. His onyx eyes swept over me.
"Sure she has a okay personality and body, but shes not my type," he replied slowly, " I prefer girls angelic smiles and ones who don't want to kill me." I smiled. IT was true, Celine had threatened and even tried to kill him before.
"Then who do you like?" I asked slowly. He looked ahead and stared at neaby catfight.
"A girl with pink hair," he muttered as we walked. I lifted my hand to my hair and ran my fingers through it as I watched my hair be lifted until it dropped back to my shoulders. I couldn't believe it.
"Is she pretty?" I asked smiling.
"I guess.." he said letting go of my hand and shoving them into his pockets. I watched as his face turned red before quickly looking away. He walked away quickly and I ran to catch up. I continued to bug him and to make him say he liked me. He refused to say anything mere, but still, I was extremely happy.
"Well Ill see you tomorrow," I said after he walked me to my door. He nodded slowly and I quickly got close to him. His eyes widened as I quickly pecked him on the cheek before going inside. I watched through the peephole as he raised his hand to his cheek slowly. He kept it there for a while and a smile slowly formed on his face. He slowly put his hand down as he turned to leave.
I sighed with relief. He actually liked me. I couldn't help but feel the sadness overcome me when I remembered I would be leaving soon and wouldn't see him as much as I had before. I felt a warm tear slide down my cheek, but I wiped it away and smiled. Atleast he said he would visit me while I was gone. That made it alot easier to head upstairs to start packing my stuff.
Normal POV (Soon after Sakura and Sasuke left)
"Why did you send her off?" Tenten asked. "Shes going to be leaving soon, shouldn't we spend as much time as we can with her?"
"Its not like we'll never see her, besides I wanted to try and get them together," Celine said, once again squirming on the chair.
"Don't you have a bet? And what was up with you two going in the kitchen..alone?" Temari asked. Celine smirked as she sarted to talk.
"I told him we could no longer be together, because Sakura loved him and she was my friend," Celine said dramatically as she pretended to wipe a tear away, "He cried but I told him to be strong for we woul-"
"Liar!" Daisuke said throwing a mini phonebook at her. Celien glared as she looked at the book.
"How rude," Celine puffed up her cheeks and threw it right back at him. He caught it and grinned.
"Celine..what actually happened?" Hinata asked quietly. Celine glanced voer at her and sighed.
"I just told him the bet was off because I saw him staring at Sakura's ass," Celien said shrugging.
"And he agreed?" Haru asked.
"Nope, he even denied it. So I told him I'd photocopy the baby pictures his mom gave to me," Celine spreaded out the pictures in a fan style as she showed them.
"You went to his house and stole them?" Temari asked as she moved closer to see the pictures. She chuckled.
"He stole my jacket as a prank the other day and I went to his to get it before he got home. His mom was there and decided to show some baby pictures to me. Of course she thinks Im his girlfriend so she gave some to me when I asked. Although i never got my jacket back" Celine smiled, "but I got these, so I didn't care."
"Is that his..!?" Hinata screeched turning red as she pointed at the picture. NAruto gasped and covered her eyes.
"Its so tiny, I never saw it.." Celine said inspecting the picture closely.
"So hes actually a guy.." Tenten said amazed.
"Do we really have to look at these?" Naruto asked in a whiny voice.
"I thought you would want to see.." Celine mumbled but quicked put them in her pocket. Naruto sighed in relief and removed his hands so hinata could see again.
"We should put them around the school.." Daisuke said mischievously.
"He'd kill me. I promised I wouldn't even show you guys...but I couldn't resist. He looks so cute, and sweet! Completely different from now!" Celine said laughing.
"I thought you guys were getting along now? Why would you want to ruin it anyways?" Hinata asked tilting her head a bit.
"Its just a cover.." Daisuke said blowing his bangs from his face. he looked at Gaara and kiba, "Right guys?"
"What?" Kiba asked nervously. "We want to be friend with you!
"I taped up the note, " Haru said grinning and grabbed something from his pocket. He held it up so they could tell it was their note.
"Is that even possible!?" Kiba asked amazed.
"It took a while.." Daisuke said, "But I was curious about what you two were writing together. Besides I had some free time."
"Basically you didn't feel like doing the work," Celien said and Daisuke grinned.
"Let me read it!" Temari said trying to grab it from Daisuke, but he lifted it above his head.
"Why can't we?" Celine asked.
"Celine should read it first," Daisuke said grinning. He walked over to Celine and started to hand it to her. Gaar quickly got up and grabbed it away from him. HE threw it towards Kiba who caught it.
"Hey!" Celine said as he shoved it in his mouth.
"Thats gross..." Naruto said.
"I can always tell you what it said," Daisuke said smiling cheerfully. Gaara glared at him but Daisuke never wavered.
"It was about me wasn't it?" Celine asked annoyed.
"Yup," Temari said nodding her head, very certain. Celine frowned.
"Well as fun as this is Im going to go tune my guitar or something.." Celine said jumping up from the chair.
"Yea I better be going..." NAruto said shaking his sleeping friend Shikamaru.
"Wha?" He asked confused as he slowly sat up.
"We're going," NEji said rolling his eyes.
"Just ten more mi.." Shikamaru trailed off as he fell back onto the couch, snoring quietly.
"I guess Ill have to carry him," Temari said smirking.
"I don't think he'll like that," Naruto said laughing as she picked him up and draped him over ehr shoulder. HE mumbled but didn't wake up.
"Weirdo.." Celine mumbled.
"Come on Hinata!" Naruto said grabbing her hand and lifting her up.
"Do you want me to stay?" Tenten asked standing up.
"No..go make out with your boyfriend.." Celine said smiling. Tenten blushed but stood beside Neji and smiled up at him.
"See ya," Daisuke said waving as the all left together.
"What about you two?" haru asked looking at Kiba and Gaara who were standing behind Celine and Daisuke. Celine looked back.
"Wanna stay for supper?" Celine asked sweetly. Kiba and Gaara looked at eachother, sure there was some kind of catch.
"Sure.." Gaara said slowly. Celine smiled wickedly.
"Foods in the kitchen," Celine said smirking.
"What?" Kiba asked confused.
"You get to make it too!" Celine said happily before skipping away to her room.
"I can't cook.." Kiba mumbled.
"We can," Daisuke said pointing at himself and HAru. HAru sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"I guess we'll have to help them," Haru said walking towards the kitchen. Daisuke smirked and followed him.
"He must be proud. Cooking is so manly.." Kiba mumbled to Gaara as they followed. Gaara nodded and smiled.
"Don't burn the house down!" Celine yelled from the top of the stairs. Gaara and Kiba looked up. Only an idiot could do something like that and they definately weren't idiots. Although they were pretty sure Daisuke and Haru were.
