Yo! I FINALLY updated 'Mine'! XD Hah, I'm so proud of myself! XD

Well, heres 'Fallin' in Love'

Nothing important to say...so yeah.... on to the story!

Shit, wait I do have something im-

SAKURA'S POV

I woke up around ten in the night. It was still dark and I was in my room, alone.

'Where's Konan?' I thought. I looked around and turned the lights on. There was a note beside the light switch. Judging from the way it was folded, it was from Konan. I opened it carefully, so I wouldn't rip the note apart accidentally.

Sakura,

I know this is sudden, but I moved in with Pein-kun. Oh well, at least you have your own room now.... just don't do stuff without me there.

-Konan

P.S. When I meant stuff, I didn't mean your music. I meant Deidara.

I blushed crimson red. Seriously, she had just meant not to have sex with Deidara.

But god, we weren't even dating! I mean, as far as I know, he doesn't even like like me. We were just friends!

I sighed and turned off the lights again, the only reason I had turned them on was because I was looking for Konan. Since I had solved the mystery on why she wasn't here.... I had no need for the light.

Then it clicked.

Wait.....Konan...moved....Pein?!Holy shit! Oh my god! This is gossip material! Gotta tell Deidara!!! I froze, my mind wandering to the wonderful dream I had. I sighed dreamily.

I just wondered why the dream only composed 2 words.....

'Oyasuminasai koishii'

I shrugged, better not dwell on that. But still....that was something I've always wanted to hear.

Another thing clicked then.

Akatsuki. Agree. Full-fledged missing-nin. Me.

I was Akatsuki.

I fell back to the bed, eyes wide. I had forgotten about that, but it was all coming back to me. My regret.....my pain in agreeing. I didn't want to, but it was better than staying as a prisoner forever. I sighed sadly.

Tears started to pour out of my eyes as I thought of Konoha. My friends.....The next time I saw them, it would be as an enemy.

I sobbed pathetically.

'Why.....why does this have to happen to me.Why does it ALWAYS have to happen to me?! Kami-sama really hates me.'

'Relax, Sakura.... I can't tell you why...since you know I'm not allowed to tell you your fate and destiny.'

'Why the hell not? You're supposed to be my inner! You're supposed to te-'

I was cut off when a hand was suddenly placed on my shoulder, I stiffened and almost screamed but whoever had placed his or her hand on my shoulder had probably expected that, so he/ she placed a hand on mouth. Muffling any sound.

The person forced me to look at him or her and I immediately relaxed, recognizing the grinning features of Deidara.

He released his hold on me, his grin turning into a frown.

"Why you crying?" He murmured, using his thumb to wipe away the stray tear that fell from my face.

I sniffed. "I'm sorry"

He smiled lightly at me, "It's okay, Raku. I understand....."

I smiled back. "Thanks, but I think you're only one who actually can."I said, rolling my eyes.

He chuckled. "Because I'm like you." He said.

"Was."I corrected.

He shrugged, then smirked. "Whatever. Remember the time when you sneaked over to my house in Iwa?"He said in a sing-song voice.

I grinned. "Duh."

We sighed dreamily, remembering how we lost track of time.

-Flashback-

'I'm seriously lost. I KNEW I shouldn't have tried to go to Dei-kun's house.'

'Too late' Kuran scoffed.

I sighed, opening a room, poking my head in.

Me eyes sparkled, seeing what was inside.

'Ooohhhhh, pretty!'

I ran over to a clay sculpture and turned it in my hands, admiring the fine detail put into it.

"Saku-chan? What are you doing in my room, yeah?" A familiar voice asked.

I turned around, shocked.

"Dei-kun?"I asked, shocked.

He grinned and stepped inside the house, locking the door. "Who else would it be, un?"He said jokingly.

'Have you realized? We've been in Deidara's room the whole time?'

'Oh....yeah....'

"Sakura? Sakura?! Are you paying attention, un? Why do you keep spacing out like that?" Deidara asked, waving a hand in front of my face.

"Huh? Did you say something Dei-kun?" I asked, blinking.

He sighed, pointing at the bed. He was obviously annoyed I wasn't paying attention.

I stared at the bed, then him, then the bed. "What?!" I asked, confused, keeping the blush down. I was thinking of things that Sasori-nissan had told me when I caught him making out with his latest girlfriend, both their shirts off. It had almost scarred me but he had explained in a manner that even I could understand. I loved nissan because he was like that. (Not in that way! I mean brother-sister relationship) When he said he would explain, he WOULD explain.

Deidara sighed at me. "Sit. I have to take a bath."he said in a bored manner. Then he blushed. "Don't go in." He added.

I blinked and nodded, climbing on his bed, sitting myself.

I watched Deidara as he opened the door to the bathroom and went in. I heard a soft clicking sound, signalling me he had locked the door.

I sighed and crossed my legs, thinking.

'Good thing we made up the excuse to kaasan and tousan that we were going to a sleepover!'

'Well, this is kinda like a sleepover...right?'

'BUT, you told them the host was a girl, and if I remember correctly, Dei-kun's a boy, Sakura'

'Eh, so?'

'Sak, what if they find out?'

'Hey! Dei can pass as a girl! Just give him girl clothes, makeup and WALA! He's a girl!'

'Tsk, more like a transivite.'

'......What's a transavite?'

'Nevermind.....you'll find out what it means when you're older.'

'But! Bu-'

'No buts Saku, you'll learn the meaning of transivite like you will with condoms..'

'....Oh yeah? I WILL find out the meaning of tran-'

I was shocked out of my answer when Deidara started to hit my arm.

"Ow... What the heck was that for you idiot!" I growled.

He shrugged. "You weren't answering, why do you keep spacing out like that, yeah?"

I stared at him, calculating the pros and cons of the situation if I tell him. I mean, he'll probably not be my friend and throw me out of his house or something if I tell.... I mean, who'll stay friends with a probably mentally unstable person who talks to a voice inside their head?

"Saku, yeah?"Deidara asked, he seemed worried.

"Y-yeah?"I stuttered.

He sighed and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay? You seemed scared, I mean, come on, it's not THAT serious is it, un?"

"Promise you'll still be my friend?"I murmured apprehensively.

He blinked, shocked at my question.

"Of course, Sak. You're one of my best friends! Actually, you're my bestest friend!"Deidara grinned.

I smiled, relaxed. There was still a silver of worry left though.

"'There'savoiceinsidemyhead,InameditKuran" I said quickly, my words mixing together. I just prayed he wouldn't ask me to repeat that.

Deidara's mouth opened wide. "Really?! I had one too, except the therapist took him away! He said I was already mentally unstable and a voice inside my head made it worse." Deidara said, rolling his eyes.

I blinked, shocked. He understood what I said? Smart.....wait, of course he's smart! He's supposed to be a prodigy!

"So...we're still friends" I murmured.

He looked at me, shocked. Then he raised an eyebrow at me as if I were an idiot.

I sighed. "I guess I should probably go then....."I murmured sadly.

"No!" An alarmed Deidara said.

I looked at him shocked.

"W-what?"I said, shocked.

He sighed. "Stay, of course we're still friends Sakura! I don't think you're crazy! I had one too, and I don't want to be a hypocrite!"

I blinked, and grinned. "Yay!"I yelled, glomping him.

"Nice to see you happy" He murmured.

I smiled at him. "Dei-kun?"I asked.

"Yeah?" He said quietly.

"What's a hypocrite?" I asked innocently.

He blinked.

"It's- Hey...light...it's morning....."He said, his shock stopping him from telling what hypocrite meant.

I'd let that pass though, as I stared at the first rays of light.

"Yeah...."I murmured.

-Flashback end-

We sighed.

"Good times....Good times" I murmured.

Deidara grinned. "VERY good times, un"

We jsut sat there in the dark quietly. Not an awkward silence but a happy one. We didn't need words for us to know what the other was feeling.

"Dei?" I murmured, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, un?" He said quietly.

"What does it mean to be in love?"I said.

He stiffened. I blinked and looked at him. "I-i'm sorry for asking that...I just...wanted to know....how it feels....I thought Sasuke was my first love..." I shook my head sadly. "But it was just a silly crush, I never loved him, he was a prick. I only liked him for his looks.....Is....is there such thing as love at first sight, Dei? How do you know when you're falling in love? " I murmured.

For a while, Deidara didn't answer. I just waited. I knew he'd answer sometime.

"Love...."He said quietly. I looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"It's unexpected....fleeting...I've never believed in love at first sight. It's fake. You have to really know them to love them. When you fall in love with someone....it's kinda like falling with your eyes closed. You don't see you're falling, but you feel it. You don't just see love....no. But you never really know you're falling in love until you're caught by the one you love.....or you fall with no one to catch you. That's why it hurts when your heart's broken.

"You know when you're falling in love when you feel an excited feeling whenever you see the person. You want to make sure they're never hurt. You're protective of them.....and I guess you feel a deeper connection with them more than anyone else. When you do fall in love, you have to admit it.....or it'll be too late and the one you love will already be with someone else. It hurts when you're in love because....there's always this fear that he/she would leave you and never come back. But humans still fall in love because we need love. No one can live without love.....even criminals " He said quietly.

"Do you know when you'll fall in love, Dei-kun?"I said sleepily, I was asleep by the time he had given his answer.

"I've already fallen...."

As I was saying,before I was so rudely interrupted. -Glares at crew-

I do have something important to tell! I need a beta. Someone want to volunteer? :D

I also need a catchy phrase for Animal Within, I may be a cheerleader, but I don't make cheers, I cheer 'em.

A catchy one for the turning-into-animal process, and a hard to memorize one for the turning-back-to-human process.

That's why I haven't started Animal Within. I've been torturing my brain for ideas for WEEKS! Still, I'm not one to write cheers and lyrics. Just stories. I don't draw either. :D

Translations:

kaasan- mother

tousan- father

REVIEW! ( Remember, beta. and Animal Within)
