I had extra time tonight so might as well write, right? :) It is currently... Midnight exactly, and I am a tired girl. But I'm staying awake with my niece while she reads some chapters of this story... OH MY GOSH! This will be a very awkward night...

I awoke with my fingers intertwined with Deidara's, his large hand warm. I looked up at his sleeping face and saw something peaceful and kind in his drooping features. I pulled away and let him go, leaving to get dressed. I sighed as I grabbed my crutches. I headed into the hallway and quietly closed the door behind me. Each step I took made a slight creak on the wooden floor. I headed towards the kitchen, ready for breakfast. The minute I entered the living room I noticed almost everyone laying about, waiting for something. I went to the kitchen and prepared myself some cereal. I had my back turned to everyone and I heard the quick and light padding of feet, my body clenched up, waiting for an impact.

"Naruto!" Sasori laughed and pounced on my back.

I grunted as he landed on me, his weight making my body sway, "Hey danna." I smiled and continued to pour my cereal.

"Don't eat that!" Sasori grabbed the box and bowl from me.

"Huh? Why not?" I looked at him, confused.

"Because we've decided to take you out for breakfast today!" Sasori smiled.

"T-Take me out..." I mumbled in amazement.

"Yeah! We all chipped in and are ready to pay for breakfast!" Sasori smiled like a small child.

Somehow his light smile made my heart skip a beat, something about the kindness in its posture made my heart take a leap.

"T-T-Thank Y-You..." I mumbled, slightly embarrassed.

Sasori stopped smiling and came closer to me, "You really gave us all a fright, you know that?" Sasori whispered into my ear.

"I'm sorry..." I grumbled.

"Especially Deidara, he cried for hours, he wouldn't even leave his room. He thought you had died..." Sasori trailed off in his sentence.

I took a deep breath and imagined Deidara sitting in our room, all alone. He must have been holding his legs and crying himself to sleep, letting all his feelings out. He must have been lonely.

"He was the one he came up with this idea... He wanted to do something special for you when you came home." Sasori smiled and kissed my ear gently.

"I'm sorry I caused everyone so much trouble..." I felt my chest tighten and my eyes burn lightly.

"We are just happy you're back, without you everyone was kinda depressed, didn't know what to do." Sasori looked down at his hands, "We didn't know ourselves anymore..."

"Just because of me?" I was dumbfounded, amazed.

Did they really care about me this much?

My heart pulled, pulled me toward a more loving and compassionate side. I felt my chest fill up with a warm and fuzzy feeling that made me smile, despite the rough tears threatening my eyes. I grabbed Sasori and pulled him into a hug, nestled his head against my shoulder.

"Naru-?" Sasori grumbled.

"Please... Just let me be happy like this a while longer." I smiled and let the tears flow, let their small orbs fall into Sasori's soft red locks.

I brought my fingers through his hair and rubbed lightly, feeling his hair in a soft and calm way that I had always imagined it would be. I kept his head against me as we hid in the kitchen, out of the view of anyone else. I leaned against the counter and kept Sasori's small figure close, keeping him tight. Sasori wrapped his arms around my back, tightening his grip around me. His small fingers dug into my shirt and his shaking arms tried to keep strong. I felt him on the verge of tears, his body was crumpling against mine, and he was about to break down. He pressed his face tightly against my neck, trying to hide his now flowing tears. Sasori was showing me a side that I would always cherish. It was moments like this that made me fall in love with him, but then feel guilty because of my feelings for Deidara. Deidara was shy, sometimes arrogant, and always nervous. But Sasori was kind, protective, and heartwarming. The two of them are polar opposites and both of these men have captured my small and insignificant heart. I was in love with both of them and whenever I was alone with just one my feelings exploded to them, a small heart that wouldn't stop beating. I felt the tears flow even harder as I clutched his body against mine, just relishing in the comfort of a body for me to hug.

"Naruto?" Sasori cried.

"Yes?" I whispered.

"Never leave me again... Don't ever do something so scary again...!" He cried heavily into my shoulder.

His words had comforted my heart and made me happy beyond belief, "I'll always stay here danna, I'll never leave you alone." I nestled my face into his hair.

"N-N-Naru!" Sasori pulled away and grabbed my face, he pulled his mouth into mine in a rush.

I closed my surprised eyes and got into the kiss. I tightened the hug and lifted him off the ground so his head was above my own. He leaned down into me sliding his tongue in and out of my mouth. Each moment we spent in this position made me want to move deeper into a different one. Sasori is the only one I can feel so free and comfortable kissing. He knew how to make me so completely and utterly in love, he was someone I never wanted to leave. When we finally pulled back, Sasori was smiling with heavy tears. I widened my eyes as I saw how kind his face was while I was being so selfish.

"Sasori..." I cried and closed my eyes, putting my head down.

"It's okay, just come out with us and have a good time. Then when we come back I will take you to see him." Sasori smiled brightly at me.

I set his feet back on the ground, but I didn't let go of his black shirt, "Y-You will?" I asked, sniffling all my tears back.

"Yes, and it will be our little secret, k?" Sasori put a finger in front of lips signaling to stay quiet.

"Okay!" I smiled broadly.

We separated and left the kitchen, heading out to get everyone ready for breakfast. I woke Deidara and made sure he was ready by the time we left. We all piled into the car, which was now a rental car because the car from the accident was being repaired. The rental car was bigger than our car and it had enough room to fit everyone. We still made Tobi sit in the trunk though, but with the length and size of the car I assumed it was a limousine. We arrived at the restaurant and the minute I walked in I smelled grilled potatoes and pancakes. I smiled and kept smiling until I wanted to order. I looked at the menu and finally decided what I wanted to eat and drink.

"Sakura table 6!" I heard a waitress announce.

Sakura?

"Yes ma'am!" A familiar voice yelled back.

I looked up and saw Sakura rushing toward our table, her pink hair pulled back with a headband. The brown apron she was wearing was too big for her and made her small figure look large. I giggled slightly and looked down at my menu.

"Hello, what can I get you today?" Sakura didn't look up at us from her pen and paper.

Everyone ordered their drinks, which were a mix of water and orange juice.

"Naruto, it's your turn." Sasori nudged me.

"Oh, can I have a Chai Latte?" I asked.

Sakura nodded and then looked up and froze.

"W-W-What are y-y-you all d-d-doing here?!" She stuttered loudly.

"What's wrong Sakura?" I leaned forward to see her.

"N-N-Naruto?!" Tears began to well in her eyes.

"W-Why are you crying?!" I widened my eyes.

"I..." She rushed around the table to my chair, "I thought you had died!" She wrapped her arms around me tightly.

I smiled and put my hand around the back of her head, trying to comfort her.

"It's okay Sakura, I'm back now." I smiled.

"I'm bringing your breakfast on the house!" She announced to me and ran off into the kitchen.

I looked over and everyone had a smile on their face, especially Kakuzu, whom seemed very satisfied that my breakfast was free. Once we ordered we just sat there and talked quietly amongst ourselves.

"So you're going back to school tomorrow?" Konan asked, worried.

"Yeah, I'm going to check in with the office about using the elevator to get to class." I smiled.

"We'll help carry your books." Sasori smiled and pointed at him and Deidara.

"Thanks guys!" I smiled brightly.

Sakura delivered the food and smiled to everyone before going to the next table. We ate in silence and I had 4 refills on my Chai Latte before everyone was done eating. We paid our meal and were heading out, but Sakura stopped me.

"Will you be coming back to school tomorrow?" She asked shyly.

"Yeah! I'm going to try my best." I smiled at her thoughtfully.

"Okay, if you need anything don't be afraid to ask. K?" She smiled.

"Yeah!" I laughed lightly and waved goodbye as I left the restaurant.

Next is to go visit dad...

I took in a deep breath and entered the car, smiling to everyone.

Okay, so I'm still VERY tired but I finally have an idea of how to continue this story, anyone up for several more chapters? :) I've recently gotten addicted to a new manga and I can't get enough of it! XD But I don't any money to buy more... :'(
