Review
…
…
…
The look on Deidara's face as he contemplated what I said almost made me chuckle. He seemed almost out of it,really almost as if I wasn't serious…but I seriously am. For what I caused him? All that worry that he had because of me, the trouble I caused him…yes I caused trouble for the others but I truly am sorry for how much I caused him. Just like I am for everyone else. I have to find a way to make it up to them all too….
I thought this as we still were pushed out of the court room. Pein had to stay back with that Orochimaru guy Madara and Itachi to finish some paperwork about the case and Sasori came to my side to pull me to a different room for some other final paperwork I had to sign. It was something along the lines of needing to get everything sorted out, law purposes. At this point I didn't care what I had to do what I had to sign to leave and be with my family again.
After a bit more I finally finished everything, feeling arms wrap around my neck and blond hair tickle my cheek. I smiles softly feeling his lips lightly touch the top of my temple before humming slightly, "You okay?"
"Yeah…I feel much better. Like a load is off my chest…" I said with a honest smile before standing up from the leather chair I was sitting in to be face and face with my blond. He just smiled and gave me a peck on the lips making me grin and lean against him, not caring that we were still in an office setting.
"That's good…I missed you." He said making me smile happily and show my own feelings by moving some hair out of his face with a finger. It didn't matter where he was…hair still fell in his face at least a little bit. His left eye wasn't completely covered like normal, but he did part it to the leftt in a way where a lock of his hair fell in his face.
"I missed you too…"
"Come on…we have to go. Pein is done with his side of the paperwork and Zetsu scared most of the paparazzi away. Only most because that brat told Zetsu to not kill them." Dei said brat as if it was one of the worst things on the planet.
"I would like you to not call Tobi brat please?" I asked him, looking into his eyes just a bit sadly. It's true….I don't want him to call the boy who basically saved the trial with his quick thinking…I know he basically caused it in the first place but I forgive him for that. He's truly sorry too.
"I…"
"Please?" asked him until he sighed.
"I'll try." he pouted just a bit making me smile at him and squeeze his hand. It wasn't until I heard Sasori cough next to us did I realize he was still standing there. He was making sure I wasn't going to get fucked with anything that I was signing and I had totally forgot that the red head was there.
"O-Oh…sorry Sasori…"
"Danna, un." Dei pouted slightly at the older male who had ruined the good quiet mood that we had going on.
"If what you said was true, Deidara, then we should get going before all the reporters come back." Sasori spoke, his voice completely calm. The blond nodded slightly before holding my hand in his. I just smiled at the red head with just as much love as I would the rest of me holding my hand in his. I just smiled at the red head with just as much love as I would the rest of my family. He smiled back before walking with me Deidara back with the others. Everyone was in the group, except for Madara and that creepy male…Orochimaru. Which meant that the Akatsuki was all there…added with Iruka Kakashi and…I had to groan when I saw him standing next to his brother, Sasuke was there too. Yes the younger Uchiha's next to his older brother Itachi and it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Well not his presence but…the smile he sent at me as we closed into the group.
Konan pulled me away from Deidara with a hug and kissed my forehead, I could tell she was seriously worried about me and I feel sorry for the fact of what I caused her. I looked up, tilting my head up at her to smile softly to try and stop her eyes having that glassy quality to them which made me think she was going to cry. "I'm sorry…"
"Don't be." She smiled running her fingers through my hair lovingly as if she truly was my mother.
"As much as the moment is sweet and touching…we have to go." Pein looked at the door and I gulped seeing the amount of cameras there was still, "I have a feeling they would want you to talk to them Naruto"
"But Pein I don't want to."
"Neither do we…so we are going to run to the red rental car, Sasori will drive the other one. We have to leave one car for Madara because he doesn't have a ride home and he doesn't want to be close to Tobi." Pein spoke and everyone nodded, Deidara grabbing my hand again. We started walking toward the doorway which seemed to be cameras still. Tobi was patting Zetsu's head like a dog pushing his hair back with every part of his skull. This earned a small whine from the slightly older man and a sigh and shrug from Tobi who looked at the Akatsuki.
"He kept freaking out…."Tobi said easily. I could tell that this meant at the reporters by how some of them backed away, "They kept asking me about Naruto…then about what I said up there." He spoke quietly getting sympathetic looks from a few of us before everyone was over powered by cameras and reporters asking question to 'the boy who won' and to the people who saved that little blond kid from an abusive father. But I didn't say anything like I was told while we pushed our way through to get to the car they came in.
Pein got in the driver side of the rental car while Konan sat shot gun Tobi and Zetsu squeezed in the back with me and Deidara. This meant that Tobi had to sit on Zetsu's lap which I'm sure he was fine with, not saying Deidara was fine with having Tobi in the same car. "Are you seriously okay…Naruto you too Tobi. Pein asked starting the car and looking back at us in the mirror.
"Why you asking him?" the blond asked slightly pissed, I just gave him a look that said 'shut up'
"Because Tobi was hurt mentally in that situation as well." Zetsu glared at Dei, his arms wrapping themselves around the smaller ones waste to keep him close and or have a feeling of protection. To be honest it might be awhile before I get used to their relationship. The two might be a bit cute together but I didn't think that they were so close…then again they have been dating for a few months now.
"I'm fine…" Tobi muttered after a while before yawning, "I'm just…I don't know. Guess I'm suddenly tired from having all this mess somewhat sorted out…" He said honestly which I could understand where he was coming from...
Think about it in this way, this day has been stressful for me and of course for the rest of the Akatsuki, and so I haven't been getting much sleep if any at all. Tobi didn't look like he has either, I'm glad he has Zetsu though to be there for him and so he's not alone. What I also know is that when I'm back with the Akatsuki I am going to make sure that nobody bothers him anymore (Like I know probably they did even after I told them not to) because that would upset me to have to see Tobi suffer. I wouldn't want him to live through hell like I did…or Hell like he used too.
"Naruto, Sweetie, are you hungry?" The blue haired women said from the front seat making my head look away from a slowly dozing off 19 year old to her,
"We could stop to get something to go…"
"I'm not that hungry…but if you are I'm in the mood for some ramen. I haven't had any in…months." I smiled sheepishly Deidara kissing my cheek.
"I'm sorry you have been starved…to make you feel better umm…were sort of starved ourselves." Dei laughed a bit nervously.
I looked at him with a tilt to the side, "What?"
"Deidara not now…no Naruto we haven't been starved. Money's just been...tight." Pein spoke seriously.
"But like he said…not now okay?" Konan spoke to the blond; he just grunted in response making me sigh just slightly, "Do you have anywhere you want to go before we head off to noodles N Company?" She asked me lovingly. I grinned at her before thinking to myself…after this I finally nodded my head once to what she said.
No matter how much I don't want to go there…no matter how much I would rather bleach out my eyeballs then go back…I have too. "I have to go to my dad's home…" I mumbled.
Maybe it was the stop light that turned red or Pein's just relative shock but he looked at me with a raise of his eyebrow. Zetsu and Deidara tensed at both of my sides and Tobi didn't have any reaction, I think it's because he was close to being asleep which was the reason.
"U-Um…Well he still there…at the courthouse…and I need to get my mom's objects and my clothes that I actually care about like boxers." I spoke a bit quietly. Looking at my hands.
"Is that legal? Shouldn't there be police or somebody who gives Naruto the right to getting what he wanted and the judge told him to."
"Well…I'm not actually sure. He is entitled to what he got, his ownership of half of his inheritance as well as his memories like discussed…and I had signed some things about his personal belongings in the house…so it might be okay. He can't really get in trouble for it because of the papers…" Pein spoke silently thinking it over while trying to remember where the Uzumaki household was.
"Thank you…I'm sorry for the inconvenience…I do that to the Akatsuki a lot." I apologized and Pein let out a low laugh.
"Don't worry...we love you and we know that you need to come here for this and so we will go…"
"But if it's for me then no…let's just go eat okay?" I spoke trying to change their mind from the original thought. Yeah we should just allow the authorities deal with it.
"No we want to be there for you…Plus it's true you do need clothes. You're father had those two big guys come and pick your stuff up. So basically they just took the clothes and threw them in a garbage bag…So your room is still the same."
"Kind of figured they would pack the clothes you got me in a garbage bag…" I mumbled to myself but they heard it.
"They threw them away didn't they?"
"Yes…they did. I'm sorry."
"It's perfectly fine…kind of figured they would have. " Pein muttered to himself as well before keeping his mind and eyes at the road in front of him.
…
"I…Saw a picture of the Uzumaki mansion in a magazine but I never thought it was this big." Deidara mumbled and I looked at him. Surely there has to be larger houses than this one…I mean to me it might not be that huge but for others…they haven't been held up in it all there life.
"I remember this mansion…the last time I ever drove down this road." Pein said honestly and I remember why. They were the ones who ran over my mom and killed her…but I can't blame them for that it wasn't their fault. I remember at least that much that it wasn't their fault that the care wouldn't stop.
"Itachi comes down this road once a year…" Konan spoke and I looked at her a bit funny, tilting my head to the side in wonder, "He always bought tiger lilies marigolds and poppies to put right where…the accident happened." Konan spoke softly and I widened my eyes slightly.
"He's the one who did that? I thought it was just my dad actually having a heart…guess even that was wrong."
"He always did it at night too…around the time it happened. I have a feeling it was sometimes a subconscious doing. Like he didn't know why he had to do it…but maybe it settled something in his heart." Konan spoke silently while we drove up the long driveway hopefully for the last time I would ever have to see this place."
When we parked the car and got out Tobi was fast asleep against Zetsu, but he stirred awake slightly while Deidara and I got out of the car, Zetsu going to stay in the car to watch the sleeping boy rest. "N-Naru…Naru?" He looked up at me and I gave him a small smile, tilting my head to the side slightly.
"Don't worry Tobi…I'm not going anywhere."
"Good…Tobi would cry." And with that the one who seemed so much younger than me fell asleep cuddling his head into Zetsu's lap while a hand ran through his spiked locks.
I walked up to the front door digging into my pockets for a key that I had thankfully gotten hold of by chance from cleaning up a mess the stupid maid wouldn't because it was my mess and apparently my father told her not to clean up a fags mess. So while I was cleaning I found one of the keys that my father had lost and just made a new one because he was too lazy to find the one he lost. I used to have a collection of lost keys; I think I was up to 18 by the time I ran away. So I wasn't surprised I found one.
I was about to unlock the door but then I realized…it wasn't locked. This is odd because almost always the door is locked even when my father was home. I opened the door going in cautiously while having Konan Pein and Deidara following behind me. The blond was looking around curiously, the living room itself being big but I didn't say anything while I closed the front door. "I…I don't know where it could be to be honest…"
"Well we could look…"
"Looking could take hours…" Deidara mumbled slightly under his breath. I just sighed slightly starting to walk into the room.
"That's why we have been here for an hour almost two." I smiled at the voice and looked up to see Shin peeking his head around the corner of the stairwell, a small smile on his face.
"Shin!" I screamed happily ripping my hand away from Deidara to run up the stairs again to hug him.
"Young Master."
"For fuck's sake don't call me that." I chuckled slightly giving him a squeeze.
"I missed you…sorry I wasn't there for you…"
"It's because of you I have a future…" I spoke honestly before pulling away from the hug to smile at him, "You said we who else is…"
"Your father was actually putting you in these threads? What was he smoking?" I rolled my eyes pulling Shin along with me to the bedroom that was supposed to be mine, Suzie looking in my closet with a police officer taking notes by my bed.
"Well I didn't like them either…"I spoke with a slight grin on my face.
"I know, you like black."
"And he would always put me in orange." I nodded to confirm it while hearing the steps of the Akatsuki coming up the stairs to meet me in my bedroom.
"But seriously…I couldn't see you in a few of these…and they look almost brand new."
"Because they are…He normally only likes me to wear thing once, if possible twice. Then he buys me new clothes…"
"Then what happened to all the shit stock piled in here. I know I haven't been here for a year or two but….Damn." Suzie looked at me while the Akatsuki stuck there heads in, Deidara coming to my other side that wasn't facing Shinrai.
"He…Threw it all away out of the kindness of his heart…But you know I never truly cared about the stuff…you know I just wanted his love and not image." I spoke and she nodded before coming out of the closet, her arms going over her chest a sly smirk on her face.
"This is the absolutely nice gorgeous blond haired blue eyed male you told me about?" She smiled as my face heated up like a tomato.
"Suzie!" I took a glance at Deidara who was snickering at the situation, "S-Shut up…"
"Oh so I'm gorgeous am I?" Deidara said slyly earning a glare from me.
"Oh shut up…S-So…Why is the officer here?"
"How do you think we got here?" Shin asked me, "Or got in? Were here because we know the layout of your house…he needed to document how everything was kept and looks. He's also here to help us find your memories…" Shin smiled rubbing my hair in his hand.
"You mean…you don't know?" I said to him, "I thought he was forced to say where he hid it."
"Problem is no one can talk to him because of the fact that he's still working papers and banks things…he has many statements he needs to fill out and has to sign. More than you and the Akatsuki. We couldn't touch him right now even to ask him if it was his penny on the ground." Shinrai spoke slightly, "So we've been here looking for it."
"And you know how he is about his pennies…" I rolled my eyes at the slightly inner joke between me and Shin. The time when there was a penny lying on the tile and I picked it up, Minato ended up stealing it right out of my hand and walked away without another word. Shin was there when he saw this and we came up with a plan to test out our thought. Every month we would drop a penny around the house and when I would pick it up there would be my dad grabbing it out of my hand and walking away. It truly was the only fun I would have with him, and it was us making fun of him.
"And so we have been trying to find it…" Shin spoke silently.
"You…looked everywhere?" I looked at him my heart falling.
"Even in the couch cushions….the only place I didn't look." The light brown haired male looked at me sadly and I sighed grabbing hold to Deidara's hand.
"What? What's wrong?" Pein asked.
"Suzie, Shin, That is Pein and Konan, This is Deidara…Just thought I should introduce them" I spoke slightly before looking at Pein directly.
"What's wrong Naruto?" Konan asked me getting a bit motherly and rubbing my back softly.
"The only place he hasn't looked is the basement." I mumbled, "And I forbid myself from going down there since my mom died…" I grumbled out feeling several hands on my shoulder squeezing and rubbing. Making me realize I'm not alone.
…
…
The steps creaked as we walked down them, having not seen it since the time I hid down here making my mom look for me… Hide and seek you don't want somebody to find you. But the joy of being found…that can't be lost. I gulped turning on the light by flipping on the switch. I had my eyes closed…I was scared…scared of where I was. I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I gulped knowing that it was Deidara but also knowing that I was not alone down here…I'm not talking about ghosts, unless you're talking about the ones from my past, I'm talking about everyone was there comforting me.
I opened my eyes looking ahead of me…It didn't change. Somehow…nothing was changed. The pictures of me my mom and dad happy were still hung up…the sketching's that my mom made of me wearing clothing still was on the walls. My breathing picked up a bit and tears came to my eyes when I saw her face again…I picked up the picture from the wall, the one where I was just so young and smiling at the camera and my mom was hugging me close. She had beautiful red hair and stunning blue eyes.
How I ever could have forgotten her…I wouldn't know. I felt a tear escape my eye and roll down my cheek while I held the picture out in front of me for a second before hugging it again, "I'm horrible…"
"Naruto no you're not…" Deidara spoke.
"Want to know where I hid?" I looked at the blond with tear filled eyes. "Right over there, I hid when she called my name because I was scared of getting in trouble for being here when I wasn't supposed to...playing hide and seek." Deidara knew about this story, I told it to him before. I pointed to the area I was crouched while she called my name, "T-Think about it…she probably…wouldn't have even gotten mad at me…"
"Naruto it's not your fault." The blond held my head up using his fingers to make my chin stable before he kissed me. Gave me a small peck for me to calm down a bit.
"He…Never touched down here…the bastard never threw away these pictures. I wonder if he ever came down here…I don't think he did." I spoke to myself before hearing a cough and someone slide past me.
"I don't think so Naruto…" Pein spoke.
"What do you mean? Her pictures are still down here…"
"Behind that picture…" he said ad I turned away from Deidara sniffling to see where Pein was, "Was an open area. Is this your box?" He asked me pulling the shoe box out of the area. I only smiled and sniffled before taking it from him. I nodded happily.
"Y-Yeah…this is it." I smiled opening it up seeing all the notes she left…what I didn't thought I would see was Shinrai's necklace and a few small wallet size pictures of my mom, some of me and my mom and there was one with me and my dad… "I…I knew he took this." I held up the necklace to Shin, "When I was in the hospital he probably took it…"
"At least you have it back…it was good luck enough and let you find a family." Shin smiled at me slightly, it was such a warm smile it made me grin back.
"But that's not why you gave it to me…it was to insure you would come back."
"And aren't I young master?" He grinned slightly giving me a hug. I couldn't help but notice Deidara make a small face when I hugged my best friend.
"Uh…Uzumaki Naruto is you quite finished here?" The officer said gaining all of our attentions.
"U-Um…Yeah…almost…" I looked at the picture in my hand that one that was in the frame with me and my mom smiling to the camera "Should I…leave this photo."
"It's quite beautiful, she's beautiful, and why would you leave it." Konan spoke softly
"…he didn't touch this room. He didn't take down these pictures or even mess with my mother's drawings…he was down here for most of his time before the trial and then wasn't really after it…" I meant about the Akatsuki one, "He has a different office he's almost was always in so he wasn't down here…This might be one of the last pictures he has of her." I spoke to them.
"But like you said he's a bastard and-"Deidara spoke.
"And be just as much as a bastard and take her picture away from him? What if it's his last one…Like that picture of me and him smiling together…I know that's the last one that there is of that one…But this one might truly be his last picture, he threw away the other ones…" I spoke worriedly.
"How 'bout this?" The officer spoke again, "We make sure that that picture doesn't get thrown away, if he does in the next few months then we will contact you and give you it. If not then…he will keep it here." He spoke gently and my frown softened into a smile.
"O…Okay." I looked at the picture, "Mom…I'm leaving now, I can't replace you ever, but I'm going to be happy." I smiled and kissed the picture before hanging it back up where it once was. I took a glance at the other picture, looking at both blonds in the picture smiling brightly. "That will never happen again…" I spoke before look around the basement another time before walking up the stairs. The people all made way for me, my box of memories in my hands as it was finally time to go home.
…
…
Reaching home I smiled when seeing everyone standing around the bar area. By everyone I mean Hidan Kakuzu Sasori Itachi and…Sasuke. He's still here? How come? Why doesn't he go home…? I sighed at this notion before I got pulled into multiple hugs.
"I…Love you guys." I mumbled slightly, happy that they don't hate me at all.
"Love you too Naru." Sasuke smirked slightly and I glared at him.
"I don't know what happened…if you think that I said I forgave you which meant for you to think I have a huge fuck me sign on my back but stop Sasuke." I looked at him slightly hurt, "You hurt me for years…"
"I know…I said sorry."
"Was it just your immature way of saying you like me by picking on me and pulling my pigtails?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"For my defense you did have pigtails that one time…" He mumbled.
"And guess who needed a girl for a photo-shoot and made me one?" I rolled my eyes thinking of the day my father dressed me up like a girl and sent me to school as to get ready for the photo-shoot later. Code name, Naruko.
"I'm sorry okay..."
"You made me a personal punching bag with Kiba Shikamaru and Neji…."
"I know I know…I don't know what to do to make it up to you." The raven spoke slightly before I just sighed.
"Maybe later…" I muttered before looking at Deidara, "I owe you…I really do." I smiled at him before pulling the others away with himself, giving a small smile to the ones hanging around the bar area. I noticed Hidan's face slightly fall in dismay while I did so though.
I had pulled us into the blond's room, not knowing in what shape mine was in since I don't know what the goons did. I know Pein said it was like normal…without the clothes, and I'm sure if things did break Konan would of fixed it up…but I wanted to be in Dei's room. I closed the door behind us before pushing him onto the bed and straddling the blonds lap.
"What are you doing Naruto?" Deidara smirked slightly, feeling my lips caress his neck.
"I owe you… I owe everyone but I really do owe you." I kissed his neck and he tilted it to the side slightly.
"Un?" He smirked cheekily.
"Take my virginity." I smiled slightly.
I owe him…I really do.
