Kyuubi's P.O.V
I woke up to the burning feeling of sunlight hitting against my eyelids. I groaned and turned, trying to shield myself but instead found that my movements were limited. Something had me in a lock. My eyes flew open as I recognized the scent of green apples and roses, finding scarlet eyes staring back at me.
"Good morning, Kyu." That voice. The one that made my heart ache, that made everything better and chaotic , the voice that had broken my heart.
"Itachi, get the hell off of me ! How the hell did you get in here ? I locked the door !" I screamed at him, struggling against his hold to no avail.
"This is my house, you know." He answered obviously amused. He tightened loosened his hold and I jumped onto the floor.
"I'm all too aware." I got up and stared down at him. He hasn't changed in the least. Still heart-breakingly gorgeous with those captivating and mysterious red eyes, face framed by sleek ebony hair and a body that made the Gods jealous. I felt my heart spasm in my chest and I took a breath to calm myself down. Its been too long for him still to have that effect on me.
"Like what you see ?" He joked.
I sent him a glare before stomping off to the bathroom, alittle to self conscious for my liking. When I was at the door, a force pulled me to the wall, turned me around and pressed against me so I was now a sandwich between Itachi and the cream-colored wall.
"What the-? Itachi, let go of me !" I demanded.
"No."
"Cocky bastard , let go !"
"No." He whispered, leaning in.
My heart jumped from its nest to my throat and my eyes widened. I thumped harder on his chest, turning my head in all different directions. He was so close ! I could feel his breath on my face. No, no ! NO !
"NO ! Get AWAY !"
"Kyuubi."
"Please, just go away …" I whispered but it was too late.
His velvety lips touched mine and my body weakened incredibly. He had meant it to be gentle but his self control wasn't enough and soon he was crushing his lips against mine, sucking, tasting. I thumped harshly on his chest, trying to desperately hang onto the little sanity I had left. Soon my thumps turned into fisting his shirt, drawing him closer to me. He bit my bottom lip and as I opened my mouth to moan, his tongue dived into me, re-mapping every crevice, tasting me all over again. This was getting dangerous. I was beginning to want it, beginning to want him and the steel walls I had spent years putting up around my heart melted the instant his lips touched mine. Memories flooded my mind, like a movie. Heated kisses in the dark, his hands as the explored my body, his voice as he whispered sweet nothings in my ear, holding his hand and laughing, being in his arms. The love, dear God, the love and chemistry between us. The fire that burned too hot, like magma , so beautiful but destructive.
'I don't love you.'
Tears streamed down my face as knives plunged themselves in my heart. They twisted and turned, tearing and shredding as that day, as all the horror and pain stifled everything else.
"NO !" I screamed, pushing him away with a strength I didn't know I had. He looked shocked as we raced for breath. I glared at him, tears blurring my vision. "DON'T EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN !"
"Kyuubi." He moved forward.
In a panic, I grabbed for the lamp on the table nearest to me. I threw it at him with all my might. He caught it of course, but I was already locked in the bathroom.
"Kyuubi ! Open the door !" He shouted. He banged on the door and for a minute I was scared he would get in. I looked around fro some way to get out of here. Itachi would find a way in soon. I saw the outline of a door at the farthest wall and ran to it. I pulled at the door knob and found it was a pantry for soaps and other bath things. Dead end. I looked around again, frantic when I heard other voices at behind the door. The window ! I ran over to it, looking around for a way to open it.
"Master, here is the key." A voice said, faintly behind the door.
No time. I backed up a bit and got ready. The sound of the door rattling in the background. Now or never, Kyu. I ran off in full speed as the door opened, using my arms as shields and burst through the picturesque window. Air whooshed pass my body as I fell. I braced myself to land on the balcony below, falling into a lounge chair. I looked up and my eyes met with scarlet. Ignoring the pained expression on his face, I blazed through the room behind me, through the door and down the driveway …
Itachi's P.O.V
I sighed and moved away from the window, ignoring the worried cries of the maid. I walked down the hall and up the stairs, one destination in mind.
"What the hell was that breaking sound ?" Sasuke asked, emerging from his room.
"It's time I told you what your payment to me is."
Naruto's P.O.V
I walked down the hall, twirling the key to Sasori's yamaha on my index finger and whistling to myself. I smiled at the terrified faces of the kids in the hall as they parted to give me room. I turned the corner, almost to the door but stopped when the figure of Shikamaru appeared infront of me. He had his arms crossed and his signature glare and a scowl on his face.
"Aw, why so serious ?" I asked, pouting. I started walking again to move around him but he grabbed my arm and hauled me into an empty classroom.
He pushed me away from him and locked the door behind him. When he turned around again, I sat on the teacher's desk, legs crossed.
"Yes?" I teased.
"What the fuck is your problem ?" He said through clenched teeth.
"I haven't the slightest clue what your talking about." I replied, cocking my head to the side in thought.
His glare intensified. "You know what I'm talking about. You go off to spend time with your brother and you come back a leather wearing whore !"
I faked a hurt face. "Hey !"
He rolled his brown eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What the hell happened Naruto?"
"First of all, it's Jin. Second of all, I look hot. And lastly, I don't see where any of this is your business." I replied, jumping off the desk to exit the room. "If that is all, I have a class to skip."
He shoved me back a few steps, glaring again. "You're not going anywhere until we sort this bull out."
I matched his glare with one that Sasori taught me. I noticed his small wince. "YOU have no authority to tell ME what to do. So I suggest you get the fuck out of my way." I tapped his cheek, "Wouldn't want anything happening to that pretty little face."
He swatted my hand away and shoved me away from him. I took a deep breath and tried walking around him but he shoved me again. "Ain't so tough without Dagwood and Blondie, huh?"
"Shika, don't start anything. I don't want to hurt you." I warned, trying again to move around him. He shoved me again but this time I grabbed his arm and threw him into the desks. He growled from the floor and lunged for me. Bring it.
Kiba's P.O.V.
I ran towards the shouting and excitement, dragging Lee with me. A fight ! I turned the corner and almost hit into the huge crowd that was gathered infront of the windows for the classroom. Being small so had it's advantages and soon I was at the window looking in on the epic battle. My jaw dropped when I recognized the two figure seemingly wanting to murder the other.
"Lee, it's Naruto and Shikamaru!" I shouted, looking franticly between him and my other best friends.
His eyes widened and he moved to the door, trying to open it. "It's locked ! Get Gaaara before Sasori and Deidara get here !"
"I'm on it !" I shouted, burrowing through the crowd.
I ran through the halls, franticly searching for any sign of The Kings. So I so didn't see the pencil in the way and with my luck, my feet caught it and I was falling, ready to make a Kiba pancake. Strong arms gripped both my arms and I blinked. Saved only a millimeter from the floor. Said arms pulled me up and righted me.
"You should really be more careful, Kiba-kun." Gaara and Neji chorused.
"Thanks. WAIT ! YOU GUYS HAVE TO COME WITH ME ! SHIKA AND JIN ARE BATTLING IT OUT ! AND DOES NOT LOOK PRETTY !" I exclaimed, grabbing one of each arms and bolting down the corridor.
When we finally got there, the crowd had multiplied. Of course, dragging two much more muscular would have been hard if the presence of both Neji and Gaara weren't intimidating that everyone took a step back from the window. They looked inside.
"Dayyyyyyymn, look at the little guy go !" Gaara wooted.
Neji shot him a glare and moved towards the door. He tried the locked and sighed. "Gaara."
"Right behind ya."
They stepped back, in line with the door then in one swift motion, their legs shot out and knocked the door off it's hinges. They didn't hesitate to go in and separate the fight. Unfortunately, Sasori and Deidara had heard the commotion and came running in behind Neji and Gaara. They restrained Naruto while Neji and Gaara restrained Shikamaru.
"What happened to best friends forever ?" Shikamaru screamed, eyes holding not only anger but anguish, "Huh?" He spat in Naruto's direction.
"I grew up ! I suggest you do the same !" He answered Shika, fighting against Sasori's and Deidara's restrains the way Shika was fighting Neji and Gaara.
"You didn't fucking grow up ! You're more immature now than ever before !" Shika raged, thrashing against Neji. He almost got loose but Gaara re-enforced his hold.
"Just because I don't fucking need you anymore doesn't make me immature !"
"Stay the fuck away from me and the others. You sicken me."
"Fine. By. Me." Naruto answered, grabbing his arms from the holds that held him. He spit the blood in his mouth on a desk, glared at Shika and moved out of the room. Deidara covering his retreat.
Sasori stood in the mess of a classroom, staring at Shikamaru blanky. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and turned his back to them. "Stay away from Jin. It'd be a tragedy for you to turn up dead." And then he walked out of the room, following his friends.
As he disappeared, I ran into the classroom with Lee. Shika looked real bad with his swollen eye and busted lip.
"You okay man?" I asked, looking from him to the door.
"Yeah." He wiped the blood from his lip and stared at the door, "He's gone guys, he's gone."
Sasuke's P.O.V.
I shut off the engine and stepped out of the car. After locking it up, I stuffed my hands in my pockets and moved towards the entrance of the school only to come face to face with a certain new brunette. I sighed and moved toward him, stooping infront of his sitting form.
"Hey." It came out as a whisper.
He opened his eye and looked down on me. I just realized he was clutching his nose, head back. He was stopping a nose bleed. He righted his head and I saw a bright red spot on his left cheek and he had a busted lip. "I don't need more bullshit, Sasuke. What do you want?"
"Can't I be concerned? What happened to you? Who did this?" I reached out to touch his cheek but he swatted my hand away. I ignored the sharp pang in my chest.
He snorted. "You should see the other guy." He licked his lip and threw back his head again.
I looked into the distance. I could make out Sasori and Deidara walking towards us but they were a good distance away. They were holding something that look suspiciously like a first aid kit. I turned my attention back to the boy infront of me.
"Come on." I grabbed his waist and threw him over my shoulder, turning towards my car.
"Hey ! What the hell do you think you're doing ? Put me DOWN Uchiha !" He screamed but I was already strapping him in. I was faintly aware of the two figures now running towards us. I hopped into the car and started the engine. By the time they had reached my driving spot, I was hightailing it down the highway. "Why are you KIDNAPPING ME ?"
"Shut up." I commanded, letting my voice drop to it's usual menacing tone. Needless to say, he followed my instructions and was quiet the entire way to the beach.
I parked in one of the reserved lots and got out. I opened the door for him and he glared up at me. I matched it and pointed a thumb over my shoulder. He huffed before stepping out and looking around.
"Where the hell am I?" He asked, annoyed.
"Figure it out, dobe." I answered, already moving towards the shore. I took off my sneakers and wiggled my toes in the sand. The setting sun against the water made everything even more relaxing. The place was deserted fro the most part, the salty air only disturbed by the calling of the plovers above. I sighed and continued walking.
"I'm fucking leaving." He said, but I could tell he was following me. "Why am I here?"
"Why are you here?" I asked, stooping to examine a broken sea shell.
His glare made my back tingle. "Um, I don't know, maybe it has to do with the fact that I was fucking brought here against my will !"
"You could have walked away when I turned my back." I looked over my shoulder at him.
"Yeah, well, it's a long walk from here. And there's no other fucking person here so I'm stuck with you." I turned back to the ocean and stood, taking off my shirt. "WHOA, what the hell are you doing?"
"What does it fucking look like?" I threw the shirt to the side and unbuckled my pants. When I was only in my boxers, I looked behind me. Smirking at the blush he was trying to hide, I continued the walk to the ocean, diving when I was deep enough. I resurfaced and brushed the hair in my face back. "What are you waiting for?"
"Unlike you, I'm not going swimming without trunks." He crossed his arms and shifted his weight to his left leg.
"Stop being a bitch and come in. The water is fine and all other shit like that." I patted the water and dived again. When I resurfaced, I almost smiled at his de-dressing form.
He was mumbling to himself as he neared the water. He took a hesitant step in the water, then deeming it okay, he walked further in until he was about four feet from me. "Happy now?"
"Immensely."
Then I lunged for his body and brought him under the water with me. He struggled for a while but he couldn't break my hold on him. I brought us back to the surface and smirked at him.
"Do you have a flippin' death wish?" He shouted at me, pushing against my body. I ignored his question and leaned forward, eyes targeting those pouty lips. "What are you doing?"
"You talk too much." And then I was kissing him.
The taste of Naruto mixed with the salt water was easily addicting. I rubbed my tongue against his bottom lip but he refused me entry so being the businessman that I was, I sunk my hand into his boxers and groped his ass. He opened his mouth to protest but I stifled it, licking at his tongue and effectively shutting him up. He didn't want to participate at first but soon, he was battling against my tongue, and we danced. He wrapped his arms around my neck and brought me closer. I tightened my hold on his waist. Soon, too soon, our lungs were bitching at both of us and we parted. I listened to his ragged breathing, feeling his heart against my chest.
He rested his forehead against mine as he evened his breathing. "I hate you."
"I know." I whispered.
"I really really hate you." He rested his head on my shoulder and pulled me closer, quietly sobbing against me.
"I know." My hand automatically caressed his hair, soothing him, tracing circles in the small of his back. In this moment, he was mine again. I knew that no matter how coldly he acted or how he forced himself out of my life, that I was always and will always be his. I couldn't belong to anyone else. I .. I loved him.
So when I drove him back to school, where Sasori and Deidara were waiting for him, when he looked into my eyes and kissed me gently, when he squeezed the hand that held his and walked away to Sasori's bike and waved weakly at me when they drove off, when he never looked back at me as he went around the corner and my heart broke into a thousand pieces, I simply got into my car and drove home, his kiss still lingering on my lips.
A/N: I soo hate myself right now. But it's for the plot. T-T …I'M SOO SORRY SASU ! -runs off into to go cry her eyes out-
