Midnight Summer
Chapter Thirty-Eight
Gwyn winces as the leader of Akatsuki turns his gaze on her and she can see his brow furrow. She knows what's going through his head. It's probably something along the lines of 'what the hell is she doing here' and then he's scratching out the hell with fuck. Yeah. She can see it going on inside his head but never making an appearance on the outside.
She listens as he excuses himself from Itachi before he asks her, "What do you want?"
He doesn't sound very friendly either.
She folds her hands in front of her and looks up into his face. She swallows uneasily before replying with an almost steady voice.
"Pein-san, I-I was sent here to g-get you." She says and he frowns.
"By who?" she can hear the disbelief in his voice so she decides to just swing right into the story.
"W-well, I wasn't going to g-go tonight. I had nothing else to do! So I went on a walk and I came across this f-fight. A woman was o-on the scene! She t-told me to g-get you!" she rambles through it as quickly as possible.
He snorts and goes to turn away. Gwyn, not thinking, grabs onto his arm and exclaims, "I'm telling the truth, Pein-san! She told me to get you!"
He turns slightly to glare down at her before snapping, "And where's your proof?"
She fumbles in her pockets with unsteady hands and pulls out the paper origami. She hands it to Pein, who takes it, and says, "She said to g-give that to you as p-proof."
He frowns before asking, "Did she say what her name is?"
She nods before answering, "I-it's Konan-san, sir. She told me she is y-your partner."
She can see a flash of something in Pein's eyes before he says, "Where is she now?"
Gwyn starts shifting from foot to foot.
She really doesn't want to tell him where she lives. She doesn't even want him at her house to begin with! She will never see the end of her mess if they know where she lives…
…but then again, Konan knows where she lives now. So does it matter?
"Well, girl?" he snaps and she jumps.
"S-She's at my h-house!" she gives him the answer imminently and he says, well, demands, "Take me there."
"Yes, sir!" now she feels like someone in the military saluting their superior.
Then again…he is her superior.
She takes them through the back of the building and goes to head the way before he clears his throat. A second later he asks, "Where do you think you're going?"
She turns to see him heading in the opposite direction.
"To my house." She answers bluntly.
"I'd prefer to get there in a timely fashion. Now, come." He remarks and her brow twitches.
"Do you even know where I live?" she stops her foot in demand.
"No, but I have a car. I'm not leaving it here." Her eyes widen.
"Hell no." she bites out and he turns to glare at her.
"Excuse me?" his tone is polite but she can hear the edge in it.
"I'm not getting in a car with you. That's final." She bites out and his eyes seem to ice over.
Shit, I shouldn't have said that! She pulls away as he slowly approaches her.
"You are getting in the car and then you are going to point out directions to your house. Am I making myself clear on that?" he stands before her, hands at his sides, but his eyes are dark.
"No." she decides to hold her ground.
Maybe now is time to be a coward…hold it, no! I am standing my ground! She squares her shoulders and changes her stance slightly. She refuses to be the one to step down. She's never done it in the past and she sure as hell isn't going to know.
Pein, on the other hand, has other plans.
Gwyn, to be honest, doesn't think he'll do anything. He proves her wrong when he just swings her right off the ground, walks across the parking lot with her on his shoulder (she's kicking and hitting him by the way), and then throws her in the passenger seat once he reaches his car. He hits a button on his key ring and the doors lock. And, no matter how hard she tries, the door refuses to unlock even when his door opens after he inserts the key into it.
"Bastard." She crosses her arms over her chest as he starts the car.
"Which way?" he asks imminently.
She holds her silence before he sighs in annoyance.
"Gwyn, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way. If I have to force directions out of you than you will find that I am not a very likeable man." He keeps his voice very calm and even but she can hear the ice in his tone once more.
"Take a right at the second street and keep going till the third after that. Turn left. My house is the only white one on the block." She answers like a robot and he 'hmms' his satisfaction.
"You're an ass, you know that?"
"So I've been told." He answers.
For some reason she has a sinking feeling that the last person who said that didn't say anything else after that. Ever again.

Note from the Author: .Scary Pein-sama...I don't think I would defy him. At all. it would be more like 'you're wish, my command' type of realionship. LOL.
