Please enjoy as we get closer to the end~ Sera
Sirah stared at her, his gloomy face getting darker. Mirai wanted to cry again, she had made another person she loved angry at her. Why do I keep doing that? She laid back down and rolled onto her side, facing away from her big brother. He rested his hand on her now healed shoulder. "There is one good thing." he stated, the smile widening somewhat. She turned her head to look at his suddenly bright expression.
"What 'good thing'?" she asked cynically, her voice far calmer than her emotions.
"If he hates you, then he won't ask you out again and you won't have to kill him." he said softly. She winced when he spoke, it all reminded her of the state of things between them, but he was right. She wouldn't have to kill him if he didn't ask her out, however badly she wished he would. She sat up and hugged him.
"Thank you Big brother, that seems to be the only good thing about this whole mess." she spoke weakly, as one who suffers greatly would, and he could tell. He rubbed her back gently then let go of her.
"Why don't you go back to your room? You can just let it all out and maybe figure things out, Ok?" he whispered, moving back and shrugging his lab coat off. She nodded and started towards the door, moving swiftly. Sirah grabbed her from behind and hugged her, "Little Mirai, I love you and I want you to be safe. Stay safe Little One." he murmured. She left the room with her head down, she was having trouble seeing for some reason. She reached up and wiped at her eyes, trying to get the haze out of them, they were wet. She was crying, for the first time in over ten years. She got control of herself on the way to her room. She was back to a relatively normal state when she got to her door. There was a girl with long braided black hair leaning against her door.
"Hey little sister." said the other girl, almost mocking her.
"Hello Adele. What do you want?" Mirai asked coldly, wear of her.
"I can't even ask my dear little sister how her first date went?" she asked, a slight pout on her face as she tried to look downcast. It quickly changed to a smirk when she moved closer to Mirai. Mirai stiffened and began edging her way around Adele, who promptly caught her, and hugged her, kissing her out of the blue. "Such a sweet little sister." Adele whispered, letting Mirai go and touching her lip. Mirai collapsed in shock against the wall. "Too bad that blue chick had to mess up your date." she chuckled and sauntered down the hall. Mirai's eyes flashed in anger as Adele walked away. She knows something about Konan. Mirai rose and walked into her room to figure things out, she sighed and opened her door, she had a lot to figure out.
~With Pein~
He sat in his huge chair in an even larger closet. His siblings called in weird for sitting in there so much, but it was his favorite place to think. It was dark and comfortable, his black and red wardrobe surrounding him, except for his one white lab coat. That held his last memory of Mirai and her confession. She had always been so innocent and adorable, she was nearly a klutz. He sighed, closing and rubbing his eyes. There was a sound of something being dragged and Tobi coming from his bedroom.
"Let go of me, un! You stupid brat!" Deidara yelled at Tobi, 'Someone' not 'something' Pein mentally corrected. He must be the one who's being dragged, Pein chuckled quietly, Deidara was just a year or two older than Tobi but not much bigger.
"But I need your help Deidara-sempai." Tobi pleaded. A loud knocking sounded on Pein's closet door and he groaned, he should've known that Tobi was going to try something concerning him. He debated moving to hide in his clothes but figured he might as well deal with Tobi now, besides, if he hid, Tobi would look for him. Tobi opened the door, the light from the room behind him momentarily blinding Pein as Deidara stood beside Tobi, blocking more of the light.
"You could've just asked me, you didn't have to drag me down two flights of stairs, un." Deidara said unhappily as he wiped his cloak off. He must've been up in the attic again, making sculptures or stargazing, both things he enjoyed, and he hated it if anyone so much as looked at him when he was doing either of those things, and Tobi had dragged him downstairs. Pein face-palmed.
"But then you would've said no." Tobi whined. If Pein hadn't already face-palmed, he would've done it again, Good lord, he's wearing that damn mask again.
"Damn straight I would've said no. I don't need any part of Pein's emotional problems, un." he said, flipping his overly-long blond bangs out of his face.
"And I don't need anyone interfering in my problems, Tobi," interjected Pein, "and take that lame mask off." he sighed, trying to release some irritation. Tobi huffed and shoved Deidara in the closet with Pein.
"You can come out of the closet when you've settled things." he said, slamming the door on them, the soft 'snick' of the lock sounding in the dark, silent room. Pein had a stash of weapons in the back of his closet, hidden by his clothes, hence the need for a lock.
"You're gonna pay for this, you little shit!" Deidara screamed at the most likely already gone Tobi.
"Blood stained sheets, in the shape of your heart." mumbled Pein to himself. Deidara sat on the floor, crossing his legs and arms.
"Since we're locked in here, start talking." Deidara stated bluntly, sighing. He would probably sleep through anything Pein said. Pein smirked to himself, his eyes already adjusted to the darkness and he could see his younger brother beginning to doze off. His grin widened. Pein spoke softly and slowly, getting Deidara to sleep faster as he spilled his emotional guts.
