Hey everyone!!! OMG I AM SOOOOOOO SORRY!!! it took SOO MUCH longer than I expected to write and I was being called left right and center to do things and my parents booked a week at a campground up in Tobemory so I was away from the computer so I couldn't even post this as soon as I wished I could. Man I am so disapointed with myself that its not even cool. :( Anyways I had big plans for this chapter but when it came to it...well lets just say that i kept getting of track or inserting stuff that was needed but wasnt and i never got to the stuff that I wanted to and it had become to long and it was taking too long for me to continue writing this chapter without losing interest in writing it. So i have made it a 2-parted chapter in a sense...:D Hopefully I will have that chapter out before I start school (Sept 1st. AH i hate how they moved the date up by a week!!! :)
Well enjoy the chapter
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own Naruto or any of the other characters.....even if i wished really really hard ;)
Chapter 10
It was a rather long walk back to my house but time seemed to speed by while we were laughing at Naruto's stupidity and Ino and Shikamaru's petty arguments. We eventually arrived at the house with the creepy feeling of being followed nearly at the back of our minds.
As I unlocked the door, I asked my friends, "So what should we do for the rest of the night? Leigha is supposed to be dropped off at 8 o'clock tonight so that leaves us with 4 hours before she arrives."
"We have got to play Truth or Dare and everyone is going to play." threatened Ino leaving no room for discussion as she walked into the house and plopped down onto the love seat.
Some of the guys grumbled while Tenten and I just laughed.
Ino could be really scary at times if she did not get her way so it was best to do everything that she tells you to do or be prepared to face the consequences. Yes she could be demanding, but she would not be the same person that we love if she wasn't.
Everyone found a place to sit and get comfortable while I made sure that all of the doors were locked.
Hinata was sitting next to Naruto on one of the love seats while Shikamaru had sat down sleepily next to Ino on the other love seat. Tenten was propped up against the armrest on the couch while her feet were outstretched so in total her body took up 2 of the 3 cushions leaving Neji with one cushion and her feet in his side. Sasuke was sitting in the chair and since there was no other seats available I sat on the ground which with my luck happened to be near his feet. Not that I have a problem being next to him, it's just that everyone else seemed to secretly like each other and I didn't want to intrude so Sasuke seemed the best option.
When I had come back into the room, Naruto and Ino were having a really loud argument and at first I had no clue what it was about but after a few minutes I discovered that it was about who was the dumber blonde. Personally, I have to say that this argument had to have been the most stupid fight they have ever had.
As I was about to interrupt them, I heard the turning of the doorknob and then the constant ringing of the doorbell.
Everyone became really quite and froze what they were doing to stare at the door as if it would burst open at any minute.
The continuous ringing stopped and then there was loud banging on the door.
"Sakura, you better open up this door right not or I will find a way to strangle you when you are sleeping." yelled the person banging on the door.
I started to laugh at all of my friends faces as I got up from my spot on the floor to open the door.
"You guys should see your faces, they are hilarious." I laughed.
"I don't think this is a laughing matter and I definitely don't think that you should answer the door." said Ino.
"Why not Ino, it's just my sister." I said as I opened the door.
When I opened the door, I was surprised at the sight standing before me. Leigha was drenched from head to toe with her black long hair clinging to her face. The rain was pouring down her face still and there was a fierce glint in her green eyes as she glared hard at me.
"Hey Leigha, how are things and why are you home so early?" I asked sweetly while trying really hard not to laugh at her.
"Oh I don't know…I do recall telling you that Chloe and her family were going away on a vacation and that I would be home sooner than usual." She responded sarcastically as she took off her grey sweater and rung it out on the stoop but when she turned around she was extremely shocked. "First of all who are they and what are they doing here and second of all since when were you able to make friends nether the less this many friends?"
"Whatever you never told me that and they are my friends so they are allowed to be here and shut up. Just because your miss social butterfly doesn't mean I am incapable of making friends. Did I answer all of your ridiculous questions?" I said as I glared right back at her with one of those sibling rivalry glares. I was about to say more but I was interrupted by rather loud laughing.
Leigha and I both whipped our heads in the direction of the laughing and glared intensely at the blonde head.
"I don't see what is so funny Naruto." I explain as he just gulped at the twin glares and hid behind Hinata.
"Wow you two are so alike when it comes to being scary." complained Naruto as he was visibly shaking.
I started laughing as did the rest of my friends.
"Uhuh anyways so what is going on here?" Leigha asked as she looked at me curiously with no traces of a glare on her face.
I didn't want to scare her but I had to tell her the truth or she would be mad at me later for not telling her what was going on. "Um…well you see…" I hesitated not really wanting to tell her at all.
"We are just having a sleepover." said Tenten noticing my discomfort and telling a quick fib. Technically we were but unfortunately there was more to it and I knew that Leigha had caught on that we weren't telling the whole truth because she was staring at me with her eyebrow raised.
"Planning on telling me the truth or are you going to wait until Christmas?" she asked in a smart ass retort.
"Ok well the truth is we were being followed earlier by someone and we heard a camera the whole day so we went to the police station and Mr. Evans told us to go home and stay together for better protection. So that is why they are all here." I said all in one breath hoping that she wouldn't get worked up about it since she hadn't completely gotten over the other incident.
At first she was just staring at me with her mouth hanging slightly open but then she just continued to walk across the room and up the stairs.
"Where are you going?" I asked as I stared at her as if she was crazy.
"Where else…to my room to get a change of clothes, then the laundry room so I can put my wet clothes into the dryer and then to the washroom so I can have a nice warm shower since you let me stand out in the freezing cold rain. Do you need a step by step of everything I am planning on doing tonight?" she asked as she continued to walk up the stairs without even bothering to look at me when I was talking to her.
"Fine whatever but come back down when you are done." I said as I walked back to my sitting spot hoping to get comfortable instead of having to get up again.
All of my friends were either laughing at me or just smirking.
"What is your guys' problem?"
"You and your sister's relationship is so weird yet hilarious at the same time." laughed Ino and everyone else agreed.
"You're joking right? That was normal sibling behaviour. If you guys found that funny then I am going to assume that none of you have siblings. Now that you think about it I don't know anything about all of your families besides the odd things that I have heard in all of my classes, yet you know so much about me. I don't find that fair." I pouted since they were laughing at me and they knew more about me then I knew about them.
"I guess it would only be fair if we went around the circle talking about our families' then." sighed Shikamaru as he was having a hard time staying awake.
"Ok me first then." exclaimed Ino excitedly. "I don't exactly know all that you want to know but my mother owns a flower shop, my father is part of interrogation at the police station and I have no siblings."
"That's all I want to know for now unless someone can come up with something else." I said as I leaned back comfortably resting my back against the chair.
"Ok let's go in a circle so that means its Shikamaru's turn." Ino said as she kept poking him in the sides until he complied.
"Troublesome woman. My father works in the intelligence and tactics department of the government and my mother is a teacher in the elementary school. Oh and I have no siblings." Shikamaru said while practically sleeping on the couch in the most uncomfortable position.
"I guess that means it's my turn now." exclaimed Hinata. "Ok well you already know that my mother is the manager of a daycare center and my father owns Hyuga Enterprise and a chain of hotels but what you don't know is that I have a younger sister. Her name is Hinabi and she is in grade 8.
"Cool so she will probably be in the same class as Leigha."
"Yeah ok Naruto your turn." said Hinata.
"Well you already know what my parents do and I don't have any siblings. Hey Sakura do you have any ramen here because I am really hungry." said Naruto and to prove his point his stomach growled like he hadn't eaten anything in his whole life.
"Haha yeah…it's in the cupboard to the right of the fridge." I announced as I tried not to laugh when Naruto ran straight for the kitchen and we all knew that he wouldn't be back for awhile. "Ok, Tenten it's your turn."
"Right, ok well my mother is a massage therapist and my father makes and sells weapons to the government. Oh and I am also an only child." explained Tenten who then looked over to Neji.
"My father is a fitness trainer, my mother is a wedding planner and I too am a single child." said Neji as he leaned back to get more comfortable.
"Sweet…I guess that leaves us with you Sasuke." I said as I twisted my neck around so I was looking up at him.
"Hn…you already know that my father owns the police station and is in charge of emergency forces or tragic events and my mother is a doctor. I have an older brother named Itachi and he is at university." smirked Sasuke as he looked down at me with a very odd look in his eye.
"So now that I know a bit more about you guys' what should we do?" I asked.
"Sakura, how could you forget? We are supposed to play Truth or Dare." said Ino sounding devastated that I forgot.
I looked over to the clock and noticed that it was 6 o'clock. "Why don't we have something to eat before we play that game?" I asked as I looked at Ino expectantly.
"Fine." she sighed in resign but then perked up because it was food.
"Does pizza sound alright?" I asked because for some odd reason I had a craving for Little Caesars pizza.
Everyone agreed so I grabbed the phone and ordered a bunch of pizza. Then I called Lenny at the front gate and told him that I ordered pizza so he could let him in. Last thing I need is to not get my pizzas because there was trouble at the gate due to no communication.
After 20 minutes of waiting and fooling around, the doorbell rang.
I gathered some money and headed for the door.
The Little Caesar delivery guy was standing on the steps holding the pizzas that we ordered while sporting an outfit that would make Naruto proud.
His uniform consisted of a pair of jeans, an orange t-shirt with the Little Caesar guy in the center, and an orange hat with the words 'Little Caesar' written across the cap in big white letters. You would think that the outfit would make everyone that wore it look funny but it actually made this guy look really cute. He had brown hair and blue eyes that made you want to stare into them forever. They were the kind of eyes that could be used to make the perfect puppy dog eyes. All in all he looked really cute as in younger kid/sibling cute and looked like he was in grade 8 or 9.
"Here are your pizzas and the total comes to $15.73." he said as he handed me the 3 large pizzas.
"Thank you." I said as I handed him the money.
I was about to shut the door but the guy interrupted me.
"I'm just curious but is Leigha home?" he asked as he smiled at me innocently.
Before I could reply, I was interrupted again but this time by my sister.
"Hey Daniel." She yelled from the stairs as she came running down them.
When she reached the bottom, she ran into the guy's open arms and hugged him as if her life depended on it.
At first I was surprised that they knew each other, but then when they kissed, well let's just say that I was completely and utterly shocked.
"Hey Sakura, what is taking so long?" asked Tenten as she came into the hallway.
"That is what I don't know. Leigha who is this?" I asked realizing that I know nothing about her new school or friends.
"This is Daniel Mackenzie, my boyfriend." She announced as if she was telling the world even though it was only Tenten and I.
"Oh so when did you guys start going out?" I asked getting rather annoyed because the pizzas were getting cold and I was getting hungry but I was not about to leave my sister with someone I barely know, no matter who he is to her.
"3 days ago." She stated happily.
"Yeah, well I have to get back to work so I will see you later. Oh and by the way, you look really cute today." He said as he kissed her and headed for the door because somewhere along the line he had entered the house.
As Leigha watched him go, I decided to actually look at her outfit.
She was wearing a really cute pair of jeans that happened to look really familiar, a green off the shoulder shirt that had a blue heart in the center and a black and white striped long sleeve shirt underneath. Her hair was down except for a bit on both sides that were put back into pig tails with a pink and yellow star shaped hair band holding them back.
After looking at her outfit and wondering why those jeans looked so familiar I realized that they were mine and that she had stolen them. They were actually my favourite pair but by then I was so hungry that I didn't bother mentioning it to her because I knew I would get them back. Eventually.
I turned around and walked back into the living room with the pizzas in my hands and Tenten beside me.
"He looked really familiar but I can't place where I know him from." Tenten said getting really frustrated over it.
"Who looks really familiar?" asked Naruto who was sprawled across the floor with his hand underneath his head for support.
"The guy that delivered the pizza who also happens to be my sister's boyfriend." I replied as I placed the pizzas on the glass table top.
"What was his name?" asked Hinata curiously while she watched Naruto.
I had to keep myself from laughing at this because it was so obvious that she liked him and yet Naruto himself was the only one oblivious to it.
"His name is Daniel Mackenzie." said Tenten. "It is really bugging me because he is so familiar that it is on the tip of my tongue but not quite there."
At the mention of the guy's name everyone became alert and was listening intently to what Sakura had to say. It was obviously a well known name whether that is good or bad because even Shikamaru woke up and looked like he was actually concentrating.
"Are you serious?!" asked Naruto. Even he was sitting up from his relaxed position and he looked rather perplexed.
