Gaara Calls
Deidara and I walked down the halls, as I felt the icky vegetable smoothie crawl down my chest. It was beginning to dry and stick to my clothes, making me feel uncomfortable as Aunt Chizu and Sakura's dad would feel if they were in the same room… Or the same country, for that matter. Even worse; I was beginning to itch. What the hell does she eat? I thought, resisting the urge to scratch myself like crazy, and possibly making myself resemble a monkey.
"Where'd you learn how to punch like that, hmm?" Deidara asked me. In the background, I heard a few voices coming from the girls' comfort room. What's happening there? I thought, as a number of possibilities flew through my mind. "Answer me, yeah!" I snapped out of my thoughts and faced Deidara. "What?" He face-palmed himself, groaning in frustration. "Where did you learn how to punch like that, un?" he exclaimed as we walked through the hallowed halls of Konoha Academy. I stared at the blue and gold linoleum flooring, noticing that the smoothie was currently dropping from the tips of my jacket and onto the floor. I shrugged my shoulders. "Gaara taught me," I answered, smirking at him. "So don't piss me off. If you do, I'll definitely kick your ass," He grinned at me, inching closer. "Wanna bet, hmm?" the blonde asked, giving me a smug grin. "Remember, yeah; I'm bigger than you, un! I could've taken advantage of you whenever I wanted; I was just too much of a gentleman to do so, hmm!" I paled as my jaw dropped, possibly reaching the ground.
That perverse bastard!
My face began to flush many shades of red, as I rushed away, feeling the smoothie go slosh, slosh, slosh in my shirt. I shuddered. What a pervert, I thought, looking at Deidara from the corner of my eye.
The bastard actually looked smug. I'm gonna wipe that smirk of your face, baka! I fumed, narrowing my eyes at him. I mean, really. 'Taken advantage'? Nice vocabulary usage, perv. I rolled my eyes. How could he have taken advantage of me, anyway? I thought, feeling a sense of relief. Well, I was until my mind recalled the incident the time we had that dance, that night Deidara and I were in the comfort room in that restaurant, that time we were in the clinic when I hit my thumb, that time I was going home from Hidan's house, this morning before science class…
Holy jizz! I thought, feeling my cheeks redden at the thought. I'm such a pervert! I thought, mentally slapping the thoughts out of my head.
Meanwhile…
"What is your problem?" Hikaru demanded, glancing at the mirror every so often to inspect her nose and cheek. "The problem is you, Hikaru; once you mess with one of the members of the Akatsuki, you mess with all of us. And those who cross the line and dare defy us will be driven to the ground. Understood?" Konan told the Busty Girl, looking 'elegantly stoic'. Hikaru defiantly shook her head, as her shiny brown hair shook along with it. "I will not be humiliated anymore!" she dramatically cried, as Konan, Karin and a few other Busty Girls behind her rolled their eyes. They all shared a single thought, which was:
Yeah, right.
Much to everyone's surprise, Hikaru aimed to throw a punch at our 'Future Mrs. Uchiha Sasuke' instead of Konan. Karin, used to such fights, grabbed Hikaru's oncoming fist and twisted it. Hikaru's upper body twisted along, as she looked at her reflection in the mirror in agony (yeah, right). "Ow! Let go of me, you b*tch!" Hikaru shrieked, trying to claw Karin's arm. Alas, Karin, like any student in the academy, was wearing a jacket, and this Busty Girl tactic was deemed an epic phailure. Hikaru, who had just noticed this, conceived a new strategy and threw herself on Karin (Busty Girl Butt-Bump!), which threw the bespectacled beauty towards the door. Konan narrowed her eyes at Hikaru, as she walked towards her. Hikaru prepared another punch, but was cut off by Konan, who had kicked the Busty Girl in the ass. Literally, she kicked her butt. A Busty Girl crony with platinum blonde hair, a tan and baby blue 'Big-Eyes' contacts pushed Konan away, but the origami-folding Akatsuki member stood her ground.
"I am, like, so sick of you Akatsuki! You're always, like, acting like you're, like, the damn best, you, like, know that?" Obviously, this girl's favorite word is 'like'. She must get one hell of a high out of Facebook. Konan narrowed her eyes at the girl. "Don't interfere, freshman."
"I'll do whatever the hell I want!" she yelled out, aiming to jump on our blue-haired beauty.
Konan's amber kohl-rimmed eyes widened.
Deidara and I walked in the locker room, after we made our way through the gym. We haven't spoken since that awkward 'taken advantage' moment. But, seriously, who wouldn't feel awkward if they had a cupful's worth of vegetable smoothie in their shirts and the guy who just broke up with the girl who poured the veggie smoothie on your head said that he could've taken advantage of you anytime he wanted? I inwardly shuddered, furtively walking away from him.
"You go ahead and hit the showers, yeah! I'll get your clothes, un," he said. I nodded and walked in the direction of the girls' locker room. I walked past the numerous rows of the red lockers and made my way to my locker. It had only a towel in it. I shrugged my shoulders, grabbing the white, fluffy towel between my index finger and thumb lest I stain it with Hikaru's spit-infused vegetable smoothie. I smiled, feeling a bit of the dried smoothie crack off once I stretched my mouth upwards. I'm gonna be clean! I cheered in my head, as my pace going to the shower stalls quickened. "Here, un," I heard Deidara call out. In his hands were a clean white button-up shirt, a bar of soap and a bottle of— I kid you not, Dove shampoo. I gave him a look. He smirked, shrugging his shoulders. I rolled my eyes, walking in one of the shower cells.
I set the clothes on a hanging rod, as I warily locked the door and stripped my clothes off, feeling uncomfortable at the feeling of the sticky smoothie, sticking my clothes to my skin. I opened the shower, feeling the water on my skin as I rinsed off the vegetable crap Hikaru poured on me. And in an instant, I felt so much better and cleaner.
'Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you my friend—' My ears perked up at the sound of my phone ringing. I turned the shower off and took my phone out of my jacket pocket, drying a hand on the towel lest I get electrocuted.
"Hello?" I called out.
"Hey, Tomomi," I heard Gaara say to me. I smiled. "Oh, hey, Gaara! What's up?"
"Nothing much. Temari and Kankuro are arguing about which band is better. It sucks that I'm the only tie breaker here. So, how 'bout you?" I paused.
"Uh…"
"'Uh' what?" Gaara asked, with a hint of playfulness in his tone. I bit my lip.
"I'm… uh, I'm taking a shower…"
"W-What?"
"Well, I got in this fight with this girl in school…" I feel like a kid. "She was dissing me and she poured a cup of vegetable smoothie on my head and so I…"
"What'd you do?" I could feel the smirk in his voice. "Ne, I punched the b*tch."
"I knew it!" We laughed for a while.
"I miss you," he said. I blushed, feeling this bubbling feeling in my stomach. "Aww, I miss you too, Gaara."
Karin sprung into action and grabbed the blonde Busty Girl's fake extensions. The blonde yelped in pain, before resuming trying to kick Karin. Karin ducked, as Konan pulled Hikaru to face her. Hikaru raised a hand to slap Konan in the face, only to have Konan raise a hand up, effectively blocking the oncoming slap. Konan pushed Hikaru's hand away with the back of her hand, before turning her hand and twisting Hikaru's wrist. Karin shoved the blonde, casting a sharp glance at the other Busty Girls. They shot Karin and Konan dirty looks before scampering out of the comfort room, probably in fear that they'll break a nail or something.
"You b*tch! I will, like, so tell principal Tsunade that you, like, attacked us, you, like, crazy b*tches!" the blonde Busty Girl hissed, making melodramatic finger and neck movements.
Oh, no, you di'nt.
Konan smirked. "Go ahead; we are the Akatsuki: you can tell principal Tsunade all you want, but once any of us say it's false, nobody will listen to you." She simply said, pushing Hikaru away. Karin cornered the blonde Busty Girl and narrowed her eyes. The two had a brief glaring contest before the blonde opened her mouth to speak. "Karin, we, like, may have been friends at, like, one point, but now? This," the blonde busty girl made a circular motion with her manicured hand. "This is where it, like, all ends here," the blonde flipped her long bleached hair and smirked. "Actually, it, like, has been, ever since you, like, started, like, hanging out with those freaks (pronounced fur-reeks), Suigetsu and Juugo. Is that, like, how far you've fallen?" Karin glanced up at her former 'best friend' (fiend) and smirked.
"I'm sorry? Was I supposed to care? I stopped hanging out with you whores because all you ever cared about was how your asses looked in a lace thong! (Ew.) Plus; Juugo and Suigetsu are good friends," she glanced at the amber-eyed girl, currently leaning on the door. "So are Konan and Tomomi. So if you have something actually worthwhile to say, say it and say it to my face. You should really stop acting like the coward you are, Kiku." Kiku raised a hand to slap Karin. Karin stopped her, punching Kiku in the face. "It's about time someone put you in your place," Karin spat out, as she made her way to Konan. Kiku scowled, as Karin rolled her eyes.
"Stop scowling; your face will sag." Kiku instantly stopped scowling and opted to pout, taking sideway glances at the mirror to see if she looked cute while she was doing it.
"In the end, they were never really worth it," Konan deadpanned as they exited the comfort room. Karin crossed her arms, shaking her head. "Never were; never will,"
"Damn straight! So… what do you think is going on right now between Tomomi and Deidara?" They stopped in their tracks.
"Do you think that they're arguing?" Konan shook her head, as a few strands of blue hair fell over her face. "No way. You do remember what she said this morning, right? She said she likes him."
"But what about the Hikaru thing? Deidara and that girl did have a thing for a while…" Konan slowly nodded.
"She lasted longer as his girlfriend than the others did," Konan concluded, rubbing the back of her neck.
"…Should we check on them…?"
"Alright," And with that, the two made their way down the hall.
"MSN tonight?" Gaara asked me. I chuckled. "Sure; I could use someone to talk to while I'm packing,"
"Packing for what? Where are you going?" I shrugged, even though he couldn't see me. "Aunt Chizu's taking us to New York on Friday. Some kind of party there."
"Aa. Sorry, I have to go. Hall-monitor duty calls,"
"You? Hall-monitor? Really?"
"Yes, me; hall-monitor; really." I laughed. "Eh, sure… I really should finish washing this crap out of my hair. Who knew half-dried vegetable smoothie could make so much tangles in your hair?"
"Erm…Uh-huh. I'll talk to you later, ne?"
"Sure thing."
Click. Beep…
I looked at the phone before slipping it in my jacket pocket. I turned the shower back on and resumed washing the sticky green smoothie out of my hair. I poured nearly a handful of Dove shampoo on my hand and scrubbed my hair. Lather, rinse, repeat. Scratch that, I'll nearly use up half the bottle if I repeat. I took the bar out and washed my body, making sure I was squeaky-clean.
Squeak, squeak.
I rinsed off, making sure I was free of any smoothie. Turning the shower off, I grabbed my towel and dried off. It was kind of uncomfortable drying yourself off in a humid room, if you ask me. But you didn't ask me, so why am I even telling you this stuff? I snickered at my joke, drying my hair. I slipped my underwear and skirt on, looking at Deidara's shirt. My bra is wet and sticky with Busty Girl smoothie, I thought, mentally shaking my head. Then, as if some stroke of coincidental luck, I remembered packing my Akatsuki coat with me this morning. I grinned, putting Deidara's obnoxiously long shirt on. I walked out, only to find myself pushed against the wall next to the shower cell's door. Deidara. The blonde narrowed his eyes at me, smirking
"What's your problem?" I hissed. Deidara pressed himself against me. "Remember that I can take advantage of you whenever I want, un!" he whispered, leaning into my ear. I stiffened. "What is this 'Gaara' dude to you, hmm?"
"I told you already, Deidara! He's my friend, baka!"
"Liar, liar; pants on fire, yeah," I pushed him away, only to have him crashing himself on me. He was like a boomerang; an annoying as hell, blonde, womanizing boomerang. My eyes widened as a realization hit me, like Deidara's braided hair did yesterday, when I was on his Harley Davidson on the way home from Hidan's.
I was wearing no bra.
I promptly got my kick-ass ninja on and pushed him away with all my might. Apparently, I'm strong because when I pushed Deidara, he fell on his butt. I couldn't resist snickering. Deidara glared at me, standing up to possibly attack me. I grabbed my smoothie stained clothes and ran out of the room, laughing like a retard. Deidara, to my chagrin, was able to grab my shoulder and pull me back. He grabbed my chin with his other hand and leaned in to kiss me. I grimaced, pulling away as much as I could. What the hell is he trying to pull?
"Oh, my Kami," Konan breathed out, surprising both of us. I took this opportunity to escape from Deidara's evil grasps and hide behind Konan and Karin, scowling at him. "I was so not going to kiss him, if that's what you're thinking!" I told my both of them, shaking their shoulders. "Wipe those smirks off your faces!" They continued grinning like idiots. Deidara smirked along. "I know you want me; you know I want cha," Deidara sang, grinning smugly at me as he motioned to his torso.
How dare he sing something out of the random!
I narrowed my eyes at him. Konan laughed, putting a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "I'm just playing, Tomomi! C'mon, where's your uniform?" I showed her my stained uniform. "It's here; I forgot my food in the locker room, though." "Aa," Konan nodded, as Karin laughed at Deidara, who was still singing. Apparently, he was singing 'Sexy can I', yet he couldn't refrain from adding a few un's, yeah's and a few hmm's.
"Sexy, can I, un?" he sang, as Karin howled with laughter. Konan rolled her eyes, pulling me to the locker room. "Where you going, yeah? I'm not done serenading you, hmm!" 'Serenading' my ass, it's a song about you-know-what! It's kind of sad to see that most of the mainstream R&B music these days sung by men is dedicated to that thing between their legs called a 'boner'. I concluded, shaking the perverse thoughts out of my head. I should never have read that Icha-Icha Paradise! It's corrupted me. Konan grabbed the bag of food and smiled at me. "I bet you're hungry, ne? C'mon; we only have another thirty minutes until lunchtime is over." I nodded, hoping my food was still warm. "Wait up!" Karin cried, as she wiped tears from my eyes.
"He's got it bad for you Tomomi." Karin said, chuckling a bit.
"Really?" I asked. She nodded, wrapping an arm around my neck.
"He does! Believe me," she said, smiling at me. We exited the gym and walked down the hall.
"I'm too sexy for my shirt; too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts, yeah!" I heard Deidara sing from inside the gym. Karin, Konan and I laughed, walking down the hall, practically joined at the hip.
