Protectors Ch 10
Wow… It's been a really long time since I updated! I'm so sorry, my laptop charger died and that's the only thing I have Protectors on and when that died everything went down hill. Plus school started…
Smile-chan: She really is scary! *shivers* Ha~ Shika-kun would be WAY too lazy to actually stalk someone…
cheeky half-demon: BWAHAHAHAHA! I'm so evil. Yeah~ I'm going to love writing them trying to agree on a ring.
gar-a-ash: I'd really rather have one of the Akatsuki as the main character. 8D I'm glad you like! It's really hard for me to sometimes get them right…
Thanks to BoulderKuzon for the favorite story!
Sakura breaks free of Kiba's grip and shakes me hard enough to make my head jerk back and forth.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here?!" She asks shaking me harder before she's suddenly against the wall across from us. I hear a growl and don't have to look up as an arm goes around my shoulders.
"Kakuzu, you b*stard," I sigh lightly. "She was just trying to shake some sense into me,"
"Obviously won't work," He says and I can hear a chuckle in his tone. "You're an idiot," I shoot him a death glare and shrug his arm off to go see how Sakura is. Her eyes are swirling and she groans when I reach for her.
"Your boyfriend is crazy strong…"
…line…line…line…line…
"Kumori, what has gotten into you?" Sakura asks harshly once she's dragged me out of waiting room and she's recovered. "You've been acting weird ever since Kakuzu took you to the beach for your anniversary! You were acting off before then, spending more time with Kakuzu and the rest of his friends and even before that-"
"Yeah, I know, I'm sorry," I cut sweatdropping a little and looking away. "Things are…different now,"
"Different how?! Different so that you have to run away? Everyone has missed you so much! We were terrified that something happened to you!"
"Things have changed, okay?! I've changed! You wouldn't understand!" I blurt, covering my mouth as soon as I've said that. For Sakura, "You wouldn't understand!" is a challenge.
"Try me," She says, her mouth set into a thin line and her hands planted on her hips.
"I can't tell you," I say chewing on my bottom lip hard enough to draw blood. "I'm sorry," Her eyes grow cold, then wide with fear and realization.
"You've been acting weird ever since the camping trip," She says slowly, falling back against a tree with her hands in her hair. "You went to get firewood and then came back bruised but nobody asked you what had happened,"
"Sakura, please, stop," I beg, my eyes getting teary with fear. "I was just mad and I was blathering on like I always do, just stop thinking," Of all the things Kakuzu-kun hasn't taught me yet, mind control is not one of my favorite things I don't know how to do, up there with skiing and speaking foreign languages.
"You're…not human anymore, are you?" She says looking me straight in the eye.
"…No, I'm not," I say looking away, down at my shoes.
"Are you an Other?" She pushes stubbornly.
"No,"
"Is Kakuzu?"
"No."
"Are you Protectors?"
"Yes," I say, instantly beating myself up for saying that. But I have to come clean. "You can't tell anyone. It's part of being a Protector."
"I understand," She says squeezing my hand gently. "I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you Sakura-chan," I say hugging her. She hugs me back before grinning evilly and holding me at arm's length.
"Are you guys Imprinted?" I turn dark red but nod.
"He proposed,"
"GET OUT!" She says slapping my arm hard enough to make me wince. "You said yes of course?"
"He's going to get me a promise ring so my parents don't suspect anything until I'm out of high school," I say nodding. She squeals and tackles me in a hug.
"That is so awesome! You better invite me to the wedding!" I chuckle a little, sitting down next to her.
"Yeah, yeah don't worry…"
Short chapter, I know but in the next one, Kakuzu's monster is going to come out! Fun for all, no? ;D Please review! It makes me update faster
