Shikatema High
Hmm, it seems you guys didn't like that last chapter…
Only 5 reviews, and they were all but one were about the deleted scene.
Well don't worry, things won't get super pervy any time soon ^^
Oh, and sorry for late update, but hey, I'm writing this now, even though I have a huge pain in my heart
Real pain, not like emotional pain
I'll live though (but only if you leave a review!)
"Yes! I'm so glad they decided to mail schedules out this year!" Kankuro shouted as he jumped over the back of the couch, and made himself comfortable. He then ripped the top of the white envelope in his hands, clear off. He hastily pulled the sheet of paper inside, out and unfolded it.
"Well I'm glad they got new uniforms. These green and blue ones are so much cuter!" Sakura gushed.
"Yea, whatever. Okay guys, first hour." He demanded, looking up to his friends, and other people who his sister had invited.
"Health." –Sakura.
"Math." –Naruto
"Gym!" –Lee
"Health." –Chouji
"English." –Sasuke
"History." –Tenten
"Sociology." –Kiba
"Science." –Temari
"History." –Neji. Tenten leaned over and looked at the teacher's name on his schedule, before giving him a high five.
"Math." –Shikamaru
"Physics." –Shino
"Vocals." –Gaara. There was a moment of silence, before everyone burst out laughing. "I'll call your counselor later, Gaara." Temari giggled, whipping a tear drop from her eye.
"Uhm, I have Art." –Hinata.
"And I've got Geography." Kankuro finished. "Second hour." He called. Matsuri and Sasame hadn't signed up for another year of school, for they would be going back to the sand village soon.
After everyone had run through their classes, they passed around locker numbers and combinations.
The fun was soon over with though, because the guests had to go home, for their last day of summer was coming to an end.
-
The next morning, Temari stood at the intersection of four hallways. She wasn't doing anything, just standing there and staring off into space.
"You know, this is where we first met." A voice said, coming from behind her. Temari turned, only to see Shikamaru.
"Yea, I know." She said sadly. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at her tone.
"You okay?" he asked, coming closer and holding a hand to her forehead. Temari grabbed his wrist, and slowly pulled his hand away, and down to their sides. She looked up into his eyes, before moving forward, and wrapping her arms around his stomach.
"Shikamaru, I'm not going to be here forever. One day, I might just be gone, and never come back." She whispered. Shikamaru looked down at the top of her head, before returning Temari's hug.
"So I suppose if there's something I want to say, I should just hurry up and say it?" He felt the blonde's head nod against his chest. He inhaled as much air as he could, before continuing. "Temari, I-" he began, but was cut off by the school bell. Temari pulled away, and dashed down the hall, not wanted to be too late for class.
Shikamaru reached his hand out after her, but she was gone in a matter of seconds. The boy sighed, and put his hand back down to his side, before turning and going down the hallway toward his class.
"Ohhh! Did you see that?! Did you see that, Dei-Chan?!" a childish male voice asked, excitedly.
"Yea, I saw it. Seems like Blondie has a weakness." A grin split across the other man's face.
"But you're blonde too Dei-Chan." The giddy boy stated.
"Shut it!" the blonde man shouted, kicking the other boy out of their hiding spot, behind a garbage bin. "And quit callin me that!"
-
A few minutes after Temari took her seat, two more late students entered the classroom. One in the girl's uniform, the other in the boy's. The teacher looked at them, and asked for them to state their names.
"I'm Tobi! And this is Dei-Chan!" the childish boy shouted.
"Tobi and Deidara Chiri, right?" the teacher asked, looking down at the list of students she had. "So you two are twins, correct?" she asked.
"Mhm!" Tobi nodded, bouncing up and down.
"Yea." Deidara answered monotonously.
"Well you two just moved here, so I'll excuse your absence. Which reminds me, Temari! Detention after school today! You should know the school by now." The teacher finished. She assigned Tobi and Deidara seats, before starting class.
-
During lunch, Deidara and Tobi sat in the library, hiding behind a bookshelf. "Okay, so report time… Hmm, well first off, I wanna know why I'm the one who has to dress as a girl!" he shouted in a hushed voice.
"Cause your hair is longer, silly!" Tobi giggled. Deidara shot him a glare, and slapped him over the head. The two Akatsuki members spent the rest of the lunch period in the library, taking notes about what they have learned of their pray. When they had finished, Deidara sculpted a clay bird, which would fly the written message to where the rest of the group was stationed.
-
"So, umm how's everyone's first day been so far." Hinata asked, once everyone was sitting down at lunch. There was a chorus of goods, and fines, but Temari was the only to actually say anything about it.
"In my Science class, there were these two new kids. There was something… weird about them. I can't quite say what, but its really been bothering me." She said.
"Awe, forget about it Tem! You're just being paranoid!" Kankuro told her.
"Yea, I'm sure you're right." She agreed.
She and Shikamaru hadn't said one word to each other since that morning. They were acting as if nothing had happened, and they had nothing to talk about.
-
After lunch, Temari split from the group, so she could make her way down the hallway, and to her locker. Once she arrived, she began turning the lock, but paused once she heard hushed voices. She set her things on the ground, in front of her locker, and pulled her fan out of her lacrosse bag. She pressed her back against the wall, and readied herself for whatever could possibly happen. She took in a silent breath, and leapt around the corner, in her fighting stance.
What she saw, was the Chiri twins, huddled over something. Once they heard her feet slaw against the floor, the two jumped, and turned to face her, with something hidden behind Deidara's back.
"Oh! Um! Temari, right? Hi!" Deidara screamed, in a high, girly voice. He was trying to play the part of a female, but he couldn't help sounding like a man who had lost his voice. "I-is that a, umm, art project?" he asked, nodding to her fan. Temari looked suspiciously at the so-called twins, before folding her fan up.
"Yea, an art project." She said, walking backwards around the corner. She stuck her head back around, once more, to see the two hadn't moved an inch, and still had nervous grins plastered on their faces.
'It's not paranoia, I'm sure of it.' Temari thought.
-
After school, Temari found herself wandering around town, just thinking about the two new students. By this point, she knew everyone in her grade, and no one came across her as weird. It was just those two. The girl didn't even seem like a girl. And for some reason, she wore the winter uniform, which had long sleeves and covered both of her hands, completely. She had caught a quick glance at the blonde's nails though. They were painted a dark violet color. It wasn't too strange for a teenaged girl to be wearing nail polish, but when she saw the same color on Tobi, a teenaged boy, she knew it wasn't normal.
When Temari came out of her thoughts, she realized she had walked down to Shikamaru's house. 'He must be home by now.' She thought, walking up the porch. She stood there for nearly a minute, before reaching her hand up, and knocking on the door. She waited there for a few moments, until Yoshino answered.
"Oh! Temari! Please, please, come in!" she smiled, opening the door wider, and moving aside so the girl could get in easily.
"Thank you." She responded, stepping up, into the house, and slipping off her shoes. "Um, is Shikamaru home?" she asked.
"Yes, yes, of course. He's up in his room, you can go on up." Yoshino said. Temari nodded, and did as told.
Once she got to his door, she knocked twice. "Door's open." She heard, from the other side. Temari twisted the knob, and pushed. She saw the pineapple haired boy, lying on his bed, with his head hanging over to side, facing the door. He raised an eyebrow at her entrance.
"Didn't expect you." He said.
"Good, I don't like doing what people expect." Temari replied, smirking. The shut the door behind her, and walked over, to lie beside him on his bed. "Shikamaru, I know this would make more sense to be talking to one of my brothers about this, but for some reason I feel I should be with you now. Do you remember what I said at lunch?" Shikamaru nodded. "Well, I caught the two doing something in the hallway."
"Oh, so they're that kind of twins."
"No, it wasn't anything like that. They weren't committing incest. They don't even look like twins to me." Temari said. "Deidara and Tobi." She muttered.
"Fraternal twins." Shikamaru suggested. Temari looked away.
"I guess it's possible." She sighed. "I should probably get going now. I don't want Gaara and Kankuro to get too worried." She may have said that, but she still didn't move. Shikamaru leaned closer, and lightly pressed his lips against hers. He pulled away right after he did so.
"You're one of the best ninja in your village, I don't think they'd be too worried. Why don't you stay for dinner?" he asked. Temari nodded.
"If it's alright with your parents."
"Don't you worry about us! We'd love for you to stay for dinner!" Yoshino screamed, bursting in the room, with her husband standing behind her, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Sorry son." He apologized.
"Temari, come help me prepare the food please." Yoshino said, as she turned and walked down the hall, toward the stairs. The konoichi followed her, not giving Shikamaru another glance.
-
"You know, Temari, the best way to a man is through his stomach." Yoshino said, elbowing the younger girl lightly. Temari blushed at her words.
"There-there's nothing going on between me and Shikamaru!" She defended.
"Who said anything about my son, dear?" Yoshino smirked. Temari kept her mouth shut after that, choosing to focus on peeling the potatoes instead.
-
Dinner passed quickly and quietly, ending in both Shikamaru and Temari being embarrassed. "Come on, I'll walk you home." The brown haired boy offered.
"Oh, uh, thank you." Temari replied.
The walk to her house, was even quieter than dinner. It had passed into night though, so it was rather cold out. Temari didn't have a jacket with her, so Shikamaru leant her one of his sweatshirts.
When they arrived at the Subaku's door, Temari wished Shikamaru a good night, before walking in, only to be jumped on by Kankuro.
"H-Hey! What's going on?!" she asked, surprised.
"Temari! Where have you been?!"
"I stopped by Shikamaru's house, and ate dinner with his family!" she answered, angrily shoving her brother away. "Not like it's any of your business what I do." She finished, stomping up to her room, and slamming the door behind her. She slid down to the floor, and too in a deep breath. Se reached in her skirt pocket, and pulled out a sparkling gold colored key. A key to Shikamaru's house. Given to her by Yoshino Nara. Temari placed it back into her pocket, and walked over to collapse on her bed.
-
Shikamaru was nearly home, when two people jumped in front of him. Startled, he took a step back.
"Shikamaru Nara, you're coming with us." A rough man's voice said.
"Who are you?" he asked, trying to stall for time, hoping either someone would pass by and see what was happening, or he could think of a plan. He glanced around, not finding anything he could use to defend himself.
"Not like it'll help you at all but, I'm Deidara, and he is Tobi." The blonde one said. At the mention of their names, Shikamaru's eyes widened as he remembered what Temari had said earlier.
"They don't even look like twins to me. Deidara and Tobi."
Just then did he take notice to what they were wearing. The uniforms from his school. 'Temari was right! Those two aren't up to any good!' Shikamaru thought.
"Deidara, huh. That doesn't seem like a very girly name." he remarked, feigning calmness. He could see anger grow on Deidara's face.
"I'M A BOY!" he shouted. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow
"Nice skirt dude."
"Gah! Shut up!" Deidara yelled. Jumping forward, and pouncing on Shikamaru. Tobi stayed back, too busy giggling about the comment on Deidara's cross-dressing.
Shikamaru was pushed to the ground, he tried his best to fight the evil man off, but he was losing terribly. Deidara had a nice grip on him, and it seemed wherever he touched, something would bite through his skin, causing blood to surface, and slowly leak down his arm.
Shikamaru let out a stifled scream from the pain. He thought fast, and yanked the string out from the hood on his jacket. He used it, to wrap around Deidara's neck, and pulled as hard as he could. The cross-dressing man slid his hand over Shikamaru's cheek, in an attempt to get him to let go. The gash that soon appeared on his face, was much deeper, and bled faster than all the other wounds. Shikamaru ignored the pain, and continued pulling. He thought he actually had a chance. That is, until he was hit over the head with something, and everything turned black.
I'm sorry, I've got to stop there!
My chest pain is just way too bad!
It feels like someone is repeatedly stabbing me!
The only way to ease the pain is by applying pressure, so I need my hands over my heart right now, and not on the keyboard.
Oh, and one last thing, I drew this picture of deidara in the uniform, scanned it, re-colored it, had it nice and finished. Then I saved it… turns out it didn't really save. I'm so frustrated, cause it took forever. So I'll only re-do it if someone actually cares to see it
I'm not gonna spend another hour and a half on something no one will even look at
