Hey there, everyone! How are ya?! I'm pretty damned good. Got to watch
Paranormal Activity! THAT…MOVIE…IS…THE SHIT!!!! I recommend it for people who like scary-ass ghost stories. LOL! Well, I'm kind of lazy today, so I'm gonna go right to the chappie. Here you are~
"…No way…what…shut up…how could it…" I hadn't the slightest clue what anyone was talking about, seeing that I'd only heard a few of the words as I came into consciousness. A weak moan slipped through my dry lips. "Holy, she's waking up!"
My eyes opened to many figures, all completely blurry within my vision. Blinking a few times, I looked around, waiting for my eyes to adjust. "…What's going on…?" I asked in a hoarse voice.
"Jesus, Tessa. We thought you wouldn't wake up. You've been out for nearly 2 days." Katie's voice replied to me. I gasped, shooting up from my resting spot, wincing at the stiffness throughout my muscles.
"Two days?! What the hell-" I came to a halt, finally remembering what had really happened. "Oh fuck me…he got away with the scroll, didn't he?" There was a bit of silence around me.
"I told you he had the damned scroll, how else could this have happened to her?" Ally snapped, her hands on her hips. "Tessa, did you see Orochimaru?" The name made my body freeze and I found myself gulping a few times, as if trying to get some air. "I'm taking that as a yes…"
"She's awake?" I heard the door creak open, my head turning to look at the womanly figure, my eyes still quite blurred.
"Hokage." Mackenzie's small voice replied and my eyes widened.
"What's she doing in my house???" I asked, wondering if I was even at my house. The squeaky bed underneath me told me I was. My bed was incredibly annoying…
"Chill out, Tess. We wouldn't have found you if she hadn't given us help. You should thank Kakashi soon. His dogs were the ones that led us to you." Ally told me. Silently, I nodded.
"…Sorry…I'm…grateful, Tsunade…thank you." I mumbled, reaching up to rub my eyes, trying to rid the sleep and blur. When my vision successfully returned, I stared at my arms. The marks were no longer there. My head didn't hurt. I was really back home. I turned up to my friends. "You guys…the illusions…were you alright?!"
"Tess, we're standing right here. We're fine. I don't think I'd want to see that illusion ever again though…" Ally mumbled, almost shivering. Katie nodded in agreement, followed by Mackenzie.
"Amen to that, sister." Katie chuckled. I smiled weakly. So they weren't blaming me for anything…I almost felt they should have. Realization hit me and I quickly looked towards my closed door.
"Where are the guys? Are they alright?" I asked, turning to climb from my bed. Tsunade put a hand on my shoulder, easing me to stay on the bed. But she didn't push me back down.
"Don't worry, they're all in the other room. Some of them are asleep, even though it's still pretty early for sleep." She looked at me with serious eyes. "I need you to tell me what happened while you were in there." Turning my head down at her words, I found the whole story escaping my mouth, down to every detail. I skipped the part about telling them what my illusion was, but I don't think she really needed to know what it was about.
"The broken wing…does anyone know why it was broken?" Mackenzie asked, turning up to Tsunade. As if on cue, Jiraiya walked through the door.
"Hey there, youngster. How are you feeling?" He asked me with a grin. I grinned back, rubbing the back of my head.
"I'm doing good now. A little sidetracked, but good otherwise." I replied. "A lot of what happened has confused me." He chuckled at me, reaching out to ruffle my hair. I still hated that, but I didn't bother moving.
"I don't blame you. In a nutshell, that scroll he used on you is the one we've been looking for, and it seems only you can control it. I hear your form had a little mishap though. The left wing was half missing." Tsunade nodded at this. "That may be a problem for old Orochimaru. It seems he can't travel back unless your wings are full."
"But that's also a problem for us. It means taking longer to activate it and more time for ninja to continue coming through the other side of the scroll." Tsunade answered, shaking her head.
"Oh, chill out, Tsunade. There haven't been many as it is, seeing as you ordered people to keep it in hiding." The sage waved his hand, brushing that subject off. "My guess of your wing problem must have something to do with you yourself." I raised an eyebrow.
"What the fuck does that mean?" Katie asked, giving the sage an irritated glare. "Are you saying she has a personal issue?" Jiraiya shook his head, laughing nervously.
"No, not at all. I'm not really sure what it is. It might be more the fact that she isn't…complete in a way." He tried to explain. Nobody seemed to get this. No one except me…
"I know. It's because I'm holding onto what little hope I have left. I refuse to let go of what has happened." I lowered my head. "It won't let me do anything…until I decide to let him go." The silence around me was unbearable. My own voice wasn't enough. "It's because we're all weak. You're all feeling the same thing, am I right…?" Mackenzie lowered her own head, Ally turned to the side, and Katie's face seemed to twist in some kind of pain.
"…Let's go, Jiraiya." Tsunade turned around. "Tessa, we'll keep a search on Orochimaru. There's nothing he can do to you right now, so you don't have to worry about him coming for you again. At least not for a while. Keep in touch with us. We're going to have our ninja blend in with your world, so don't be surprised if you see one or two around." Both of them left the room, soon leaving the house all together.
"…Tess…I don't think it's just you. They said that we were all a part of your transformation, right?" Ally asked. When I nodded, she shook her head. "None of us want to let go of them…"
"She's right, you know…?" Katie mumbled. "It just seems…that they are off so much better here. They're all changing…and here, we're certain they won't be killed."
"Yeah…don't blame yourself for this, Tessa. This is all of our faults…" Mackenzie added in. I smiled weakly.
"We're all a bunch of sad weaklings, aren't we?" I giggled, lightly. "Well…let me get out of here. I lost two days of my life." Stretching my legs, I climbed from the bed. "Let's just ignore the conclusion for now and enjoy the plot while it lasts." As we started out the room, Mackenzie grabbed my arm and pulled me back in, closing the door. "Mackenzie, I don't wanna be in here anymore." I complained.
"Shut up. It's about Sasori." She said, making me freeze in position. "Tessa, I don't know what he was thinking when he did what he did…but as far as I'm concerned, if you love Deidara, you need to settle things with him." Reading my face, she added, "He told me about it when they came back. His expression the whole time during the talk of why you left the hospital room was too suspicious to pass over."
"…I know. But…I'm afraid. And I know I'll end up telling Deidara at some point, but how will I know what he'll say or do?" I asked her. Mackenzie shrugged.
"I don't know…but Sasori is his partner, maybe he'll…pass it over after a while?" I frowned when she added in 'a while'. "Whatever…you don't have to do it now. I know you just want to let go of what happened to you already. Give yourself some time and do it later." She pat my back before opening the door.
"Mackenzie…thanks." I whispered and she giggled before dragging me out into the living room.
"HEY, GUESS WHO'S AWAKE?!?!?!" She yelled, awakening all of the members who were sleeping. Hidan fell off the couch and Deidara's head shot up too fast, smacking against the back table he had been leaning against. Kisame and Kakuzu woke up quietly.
"Well, well, she returns from the dead." Kisame chuckled. I grinned almost cheesily.
"Tessa, un!" Deidara shot up from the floor, reaching out to grab me in a headlock. I squeaked almost immediately as I felt his fist against my head.
"Heeeeeeeey, not the head!!!" I whined as he released me, leaving my hair a mess from his noogie. "Gee, thanks Dei!!!" My hands went to brush down the rustled pieces of hair. Chuckling, he pulled me to his chest. When the hell had Deidara ever been so playful?
"You frustrate me like that again, I'll kill you, yeah!" He grinned. Even while he was being joyful, I was completely opposite. The remembrance of the illusion and what had happened with Sasori was just flashing guilt trips in my direction. I smiled anyway.
"Sorry, Dei." I was surprised no one was asking me about my transformation. They had all seen it…maybe Ally had told them not to.
"Tessa!!!" Caitlin came zooming from the kitchen, snagging me from Deidara to crush me to her. "You're awake!!! I was going to dump ice water on you, too!" I frowned, which quickly turned into a laugh.
"Yeah yeah, hi Caitlin." I pulled myself from her grasp. "What are you doing here? Where's your mom?" I asked her, tilting my head.
"Oh, she's at work. After she came to the hospital, they released me and I asked her to let me go to your house. Knowing my mom, she gives me whatever I want." She laughed and I did too. Totally true. "Course, I took a trip to find a certain group after they went after you. Now I'm here!" Ally popped out from the kitchen, holding her cell phone.
"Guess what, girls? Since Tessa's awake now and I don't want to keep her in the house, we're going to the club!" She gave a little whoop, though no one followed.
"How the flying fuck are we going to get into a club, Dumbass?" Katie asked, raising an eyebrow. "We're not old enough. Only the guys are. Well…except Deidara." Te blonde flashed a glare in her direction.
"Duh. That's why we're going to that Club down by the Sub stores. I heard it's really good down there and they allow anyone 15 to twenty-something inside. But trust me, I think the oldest ones there will be our boys. And they don't even look all that old." Ally replied.
"Except for Kakuzu…" Katie whispered. Said man turned in her direction and she squeaked, jumping on Hidan to hide from him. I sighed, completely against going.
"Is that a good idea, Ally? Going out?" I asked, tilting my head. She nodded furiously.
"Yes! We HAVE to get your mind off of that snake!" She slammed the phone down on the table. Knowing I wasn't going to win AND she was right…I quietly agreed.
"Wait…but…why a club? You know there are only stupid people there who like to pick fights!" I exclaimed, clenching my fists. She chuckled and slapped my back.
"Tessa, it's just what you need. Forget the people. Dance and have fun, you'll feel a lot better. Look, we won't even drink. Promise!" She winked and for a second, I thought she was lying. But I decided to trust her anyway. "Alright then! Boys! Back into your clothes! Pein, you don't have to take the piercings out this time. Zetsu! The Venus fly trap has to go! Kisame…buy a new face!" The shark glared at Ally as she said this.
"Forget this…I'll just go and say I'm in costume." He replied, crossing his large arms. Caitlin ran over to Zetsu and quietly pushed him into the kitchen, possibly attempting to help him remove the plant that surrounded his head. I was quietly sitting in the corner, dreading taking the boys to a club for frickin' teens! I mean…especially Hidan.
While I was spacing out in the corner, Sasori walked over to my side, apparently uncaring that he had to get ready, seeing as all he had to do was change clothes. "Hey…" At the sound of his melancholy voice, I jumped, my hands flying to the side, much like the characters from Ranma ½.
"Wah! Oh, uh…Hi…" I mumbled, bringing my hands into my lap. I was completely awkward around Sasori now, I realized already. Especially since I hadn't talked to him about what had happened in the hospital and I hadn't even talked to Deidara…
"You worried about Ally's stupid idea?" He asked, looking at me with such calmness, I almost felt like smacking him. How could he act like nothing happened?! Oh yeah…no emotions.
"Yeah…considering most of these guys are clearly out-of-control. And they're going to a teen club. Forget the fact that they invite ANYONE 15 and up to late 20s! It's still a teen club! And not to mention that place is dangerous…the age group for that club could get people hurt." I shook my head. "Ally's gonna stress me out even more…" Taking a deep breath, I gulped before I changed the subject. "Hey, about what happened at the hospital…"
"Sasori-Danna, come on, yeah! Get dressed!" Deidara exclaimed, running over to the couch, which nearly made me swallow my tongue. Dammit, that terrorist and his horrible timing!!! Rolling his eyes, the puppet stood, leaning towards me as he did.
"Later…" He mumbled, sliding away from me as my face turned red. Deidara rose an eyebrow at me, leaning down to stare me in the face.
"You up for going, un? You look like you're sick…" His hand reached up to touch my forehead. I instantly pulled away from him, smiling nervously.
"Ah…uhm…yeah! I'm just fine! So…let's go!" Standing up, I walked away with such speed, I nearly fell over my own feet. After getting away, I brought my fist up to my forehead. I was feeling so guilty, I couldn't be around him anymore. How in the hell was I supposed to have fun?
Me: Well…that chappie took a while to finish…
Zetsu: Yeah…just a little bit…
Me: …Wait…which one said that?
Zetsu: Me, duh.
Me: Ugh, Pein was right!!! This is ridiculous!
Zetsu: …Can't you tell by the voices…?
Me: Not when I'm writing, doofus brain…
Zetsu: …I'm gonna eat you…
Me: O.O NOOOOO!!!! *runs away*
Zetsu: …lol. *writes reviewers*
