[ May I ]
Let me be your love
"Sa-Sasuke…" Sakura gasped for air, clutching onto her chest so ever tightly till it hurts, but it didn't hurt as much as how her heart aches so painfully. Her tears freely rolled down her cheeks. She raised her hand and pointed right at the redhead who was on the bed, fully naked.
"Why? Why did you betray me... Why?" Sakura screamed. Her eyes were so wide almost like a ping-pong ball. She couldn't believe what she just saw.
"Sakura." Sasuke turned and gave a peck on the redhead girl's forehead. "She…" He rose from his bed after pulling up his loose trousers, "... Can give me the pleasure that you can't, and never will."
"You bastard!" Sakura marched forward and was about to slap Sasuke when he stopped her right before her hand managed to touch his face.
"Sakura… we're over. Right now, that woman on the bed is mine. You are nothing to me, but something worthless in my eye…" He gave a short sigh, as if he was feeling guilty for saying those harsh words to her.
"You are just plainly annoying."
Sakura's eyes flew open and gave a scream. The bag of chips fell onto the floor as the chips scattered onto her carpet. Sakura blinked, her heartbeat continued to beat very fast and her hair was soaked in cold sweat. She looked at all the corners in the house and then at the television that was still playing the show that she was watching a while ago.
"I must have dozed off. The dream must be influenced by the show." Sakura said, calming herself down. "Dream are always the opposite or reality. It's untrue, definitely untrue." She continued repeating it in her head.
Sakura take in another deep breathe, resting her head on the sofa. "Why am I doubting Sasuke? I have to trust him, I'm supposed to!" She muttered under her breath, using both of her hands to cover her cheek.
Sakura closed her eyes, the image of Sasuke's betrayal kept repeating in her mind. "Sakura, stop this!" Sakura slapped lightly on her cheeks. "I guess I shall take another bathe to clear my head." She said to herself, rising from the sofa.
"How could you do this? How could you betray me? I always love you!" The actress screamed as she continued crying.
"I'm sorry… But I love her more than you. Hate me if you want." The man turned away.
"You- I hate you! Forever!" The girl screamed, running away as the guy watched her sadly from afar.
Sakura shook her head, turning off the television. Her dreams definitely must have been affected because of the show.
"Okay, stop thinking about all these betrayal stuff. Nothing is real, this show is not real either." Sakura threw the remote control on the sofa angrily. She picked up the scattered chips on the floor and threw it away, before stomping back to her bedroom.
After a while, the lights are off, and the house was just in silence.

"Why didn't Sasori come to work today?" Sakura asked worriedly, staring at the empty sit behind the desk.
"I told him not to, he just recovered yeah." Deidara assured her.
Sakura scratched her head and slightly laughed. "I almost had forgotten about it."
She wasn't too much of the surprise. It would be best for Sasori to stay at home anyway. She just walked into the room and looked at all her almost-done work.
Deidara sighed, looking back at the empty seat. "If only Sakura knew…"

"Ding-Dong."
Sasori looked up at the door with a bored look. He sighed and lazily stood up from his comfortable couch and walked to the door, opening the door to find none other than his best friend; Deidara.
The blonde walked in while Sasori closed the door for him. "I've settle your work stuffs for you yeah." Deidara added, sating beside the counter.
"I owe you two then." Sasori said, pouring a glass of water in the kitchen and handing the glass to Deidara.
The blonde accepted it and finished it in a few gulps, putting the glass on the counter. "Here's your car key." He fished out the keys and placed it beside the glass. Sasori gave a faint smile and took it with the empty glass, murmuring a thanks while washing the glass at the sink.
"And I think you shouldn't be leaving such things in the cars too yeah." Deidara took out another object from his coat pocket and placed it on the table. Sasori lazily glanced behind his shoulder at what Deidara was talking about until his chocolate-brown eyes laid upon the small box.
The redhead immediately stopped his washing, putting down the glass in the sink. He dried his hand with the side of his clothes and slowly looked up at the blonde. Deidara wasn't that easy to fool, he knew whom the ring was meant for.
"How did you…" Sasori asked
"Found it, not that I inspected your car or anything." Deidara tapped softly on the box. Sasori watched the object for a few seconds before turning away from him and stared at the sink.
"Sakura, this is for Sakura. Right?" Deidara asked, wanting to make sure of it.
Sasori didn't answer, still looking down at the sink.
Deidara waited, and waited for the answer. Deep down, the blonde knew Sasori was trying hard to find an answer. And in the end, the redhead did replied, but it was not the answer that the blonde was expecting.
"She's better off with Sasuke." The redhead said only
"You are just giving up now?" Deidara shouted immediately after Sasori finished his sentence. "This thing still hasn't end yeah!" Deidara argued again.
"Like I said before, what can I do when Sakura agreed to the proposal?" Sasori challenged Deidara back.
Deidara paused for a moment, he hates to think, and it seems to be a waste of time to him. But for Sasori, he thinks, he's smart, the redhead love to play mind games and always thinks out of the box and solved difficult questions easily.
But Deidara was certain. There must be a loophole to all these stupid games and the question that Sasori threw at him as well. Something was just not right. It doesn't fits in perfectly in the story, and as if one part of the section went missing and the story was incomplete.
And out of nowhere, something amazing struck Deidara's mind.
It wasn't anything amazing and good. It was something horrible and awful.
"Wait… you knew that Sasuke proposed to Sakura on the same day, yet Sakura didn't told anyone about it until the next day." Deidara widened his eyes slightly as his delicate eyebrow turned into a huge ugly frown.
"Don't tell me, you saw it yeah. You saw it with you two eyes. As if it's live-in-action, and that's why you know about it." Deidara asked, hoping that he got an answer that he didn't want to get.
Sasori's face totally give it all away, even though his expression was hard to read sometimes, but this time, Deidara didn't mistaken it. It's true, the answer he didn't want to get was true, so true and obvious.
Deidara slammed his fist on the kitchen table. "I know you can tolerate all sorts of pain, but how can you do this to yourself?" He raised his voice.
Deidara grabbed the box and opened the cover, grabbing the silver band and shoved it in front of Sasori's face. "At least leave some dignity for yourself yeah! Sasori! Sasori! Can you hear me? Where is the usual Sasori that I met for this past few years?"
Sasori just gave a blank look, not bothered by the blonde's remark.
"This is useless anyway." Sasori grabbed hold of Deidara's wrist and took the ring between his fingers, walking to his window. Without warning, he raised his hand and threw the silver band right outside the house.
Deidara widened his aqua-colour eyes and rushed beside Sasori, popping his head out of the window and looking down the block. Judging by how it looks, it seems impossible to retrieve back the ring if it were to roll down to the drain nearby.
He slowly closed his bright-blue eyes in anger and took in a deep breath, getting back in and glared at Sasori.
"I'm done with it. I'm not going to care. I'm not going to do anything. I'm not going to help anymore. If you want it to be like this yeah… It's fine with me, I'm out of here." Deidara shook his head while shrugging as well. He walked around Sasori, stomping out of the house and slammed the door shut behind him.
Sasori slightly turned, watching his friend out of his place. The sound of Deidara's footsteps become softer and softer till it was gone. All Sasori could hear was the same ticking of his clock he heard everyday in the living room.
Sasori felt something bulging in his hand and his attention immediately went back to his clenched fist. He lowered his gaze and lifted up his arm to waist level and slowly unclasped his hand.
The silver band was still in his hand, shining as brightly as possible. He didn't threw it out of the window like Deidara had thought he did. He kept it, because couldn't bear to just throw it away.
It's not because how expensive or beautiful the ring was, but it's because this was the first, and perhaps the last time that Sasori had fell in love with this girl that played with his heart. The ring in his hand held so much meaning to him. Even though this silver band does not represent anything such as a marriage contract between husband and wife, but it meant so much and different to him than anyone else.
Why?
Because, the ring was the only motivation for him to continue persevering, having the courage to step forward from his own lonely world and love someone so deeply till it hurts.
Love, what's love to him?
The clock ticked softly in the living room, it's been a few minutes since Sasori just stood right in the middle of the kitchen, staring at the ring. Hundred of questions kept crashing him, until he almost couldn't breathe for a second. The redhead wanted to run to Sakura's house so much and yelled it into her face.
I love you Sakura!
He thought for a moment, trying to capture the picture of Sakura's reaction. And to find it rather disappointing and slightly amusing, the only thing Sasori could picture in his mind was just rejection, rejection and rejection.
'She loves Sasuke, and she can only be happy when she's with him.' He kept repeating this horrible sentence over and over in his head, unable to stop.
After deciding what to do, he closed his eyes and walked to the table, grabbing the small box and headed to the small dustbin at the corner of the kitchen.
Even though he pretended that he threw it out of the window, he thought he could actually silently kept the ring instead. But thinking twice again, maybe not. Maybe he should throw it away instead, he doesn't need the ring anymore. Why does he need any more courage to love again when his only love went away?
At that moment when he let go of the ring and the small box, it was as if the clock had stopped ticking and the time stopped for a second. Both object slowly landed into the bin and lay in the corner with some useless papers and plastic.
His heartbeat seemed to become slower and slower, almost stopping. The atmosphere turned tense and the room became gloomier. He turned after giving the last glance at the dustbin and walked to his room, closing the door quietly behind him.
And the clock in the living room magically began ticking again.

"Is Sasori feeling unwell again?" Sakura asked, looking at the empty seat for the second time. Deidara didn't bother turning and answered directly, his eyes were fixed on the computer.
"I don't know, ask him yourself." He muttered dangerously.
Sakura stiffened her posture, she never seen Deidara so scary and his whole happy-go-lucky attitude totally disappeared into mid-air, as if there was a dark aura around him. Sakura could obviously see he's in a really bad mood.
"Then, I'll go back to do my things." Sakura knew she wouldn't be expecting answer, so she went back to her work and closed the door behind her. Deidara stopped typing the things into his computer and stared at the door. He was about to speak up but decided not too.
'Right… why am I bothering anyways yeah.' Deidara thought angrily, going back and began on his work.
Sakura gave a huge sigh and looked sadly around the room.
"Should I tell Itachi about it? I know I shouldn't be caring much about these things, but something must had happened between Sasori and Deidara." Sakura quietly thought to herself, settling her things down.
She took out her phone and punched in the correct number to Sasuke's brother. After a few moments, the receiver finally picked up.
"Hello Itachi-kun." Sakura lowered her volume, avoiding Deidara to hear her conversation behind the door. "There's a problem here, and I think you and the rest can help out."
0o0
"Sakura." Sasuke said. His fingers intertwined with Sakura's.
Sakura had just knocked off from her work, and to her surprise, Sasuke had actually went to pick her up from her workplace. Both were walking along a small park beside the beach, a small breeze would occasionally blow and messes up Sakura's pink and silky hair. Sasuke's hair was just still neatly in place. Hardly anything can mess it up.
Sakura looked up, glancing at the stoic Uchiha and expecting him to continue his sentence.
"Why don't you quit your job and come over to work with me?' He said.
Sakura immediately stopped her stroll and looked at Sasuke, her mouth opened wide. "You know I hate those sit-down-and-stare-at-the-computer job. And I love my current job, I don't find the need to change it." Sakura protested, letting go of Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke just pulled Sakura towards a nearby bench and sat on either side, facing the huge crashing wave and the sea. A few kids were building sandcastle, collecting seashells and swimming in the water. But there was just silence between them, and Sakura knew Sasuke was angry with her for not listening to him.
"Sasuke, we can-"
"Sakura, you know I love you right?" He said, his gaze was just looking forward and staring at the huge sea, not facing Sakura at all.
This time...
Sakura's stomach didn't flutter like before.
Her heart didn't beat as fast as before.
Sakura felt… the words were just so cold and filled with emptiness. She didn't feel anything when Sasuke said the three words. She just felt like it was just any three normal words that meant nothing to her in the world.
"Sakura?"
"Yeah, I know." She muttered.
Sasuke nodded like he expected her to replied like he wanted, he stretched his arm and put it around Sakura's shoulder.
"We can be closer together, don't you think so? Instead of going to work alone everyday, I can give you a ride to work and back home. We can spend more time together." He said, only thinking of himself. He never spared a thought for Sakura, he never cared if she liked the job, or if she was fine with it. He wanted it to be his own way.
Sakura heart sank, she was so happy with the current job that she might have forgotten that Sasori was a little mean to her in the beginning. Even though there seemed to be a few problems lately with Sasori, but she had to admit that she was so much happier than any job she had in the past 25 years of her life. She almost had forgotten how much she hated the office's lady job until Sasuke held up his suggestion.
"Sasuke, maybe we can sort this out without having me to quit my current job." Sakura protested.
"I just want to spend more time together." Sasuke said.
Lies…
"Instead of working under the two nobodies."
"How can you say that?" Sakura flared up, turning and slightly glaring at Sasuke. "I'm sorry Sasuke, but you have to respect them as my friend and my boss, you can't call them so rudely like nobodies." She spoke cautiously.
"Why are you defending them? Don't tell me I can't even compared to any one of them." Sasuke lifted his arm and away from Sakura and straightening his posture, both of his brows drawn together.
Sakura grimaced. "It's not like what you meant, even if you were to insult any of my friends, I would have the exact same reaction as before."
There was just a moment of silence, no one spoke at all, the birds were silence and all the kids had went back to their parents, the only sound that was breaking the silence was the crushing of waves. Sasuke sighed, he turned around and gently caressed Sakura's cheek.
"Sakura, you have to understand my feelings, I want you to have the best of everything. Listen to me and quit your job, if you are close to me, we can discuss on our marriage earlier than before."
"What- Marriage?" Sakura turned her neck so quickly that she thought it just snapped into two.
"My parents were pressuring me right after Itachi's engagement party. They knew you were the right one for me, and I know I've picked the right choice. So they started asking my when would we picked a date together for the wedding, it's just sooner or later." The raven-haired man said.
"I actually joked with Ino and Hinata that day, I didn't know that we are talking about this together now." Sakura flushed.
"Hn, aren't you eager for it?" He asked.
'Eager… I'm eager? Am I?' Sakura slowly turned and stared at the waves.
'I don't feel excited nor happy like before, as if… the happiness I always wanted is draining away from me, slowly but steadily. I don't feel at least happy at all." She pondered hard.
'Before that, I was always so delighted when Sasuke bring me out for a date. I found it so caring and thoughtful, and etcetera. But now, I don't feel overjoyed at all. As a matter of fact, I sometimes felt reluctant about going with Sasuke.'
"Sakura?"
'But why… Why do I feel so exactly different when I'm with Sasori?'
'That one time when we are out at Naruto's restaurant, eating together, I felt so relaxed and comfortable with it, and I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner like it supposed to be. Even though it wasn't delicacy or anything, it's definitely much better than eating steak with red wine in a tensed and uneasy situation. I hate that feeling, I don't want that at all…'
"Sakura, are you listening to me?" Sasuke shook Sakura and broke her line of thoughts.
Everything, everything that she was thinking moments ago, immediately vanished into thin air like nothing.
"I'm listening, I'm listening." Sakura replied.
Sasuke frowned deepened, but he ignored the fact when Sakura was obviously not paying attention. "Quit your job and come over to work in the business industries with me."
"Sasuke, I already said I-"
Sakura's phone suddenly rang out of nowhere, like it actually knew Sakura was in trouble. She rummaged through her bag and took out the phone, picking it up.
"Hey Ino." Sakura said, trying to lighten her mood to the furthest extend as she could.
"Sakura! It's been a while since we had dinner together with Hinata. Are you free tonight?" Ino said.
"It's Ino, she's asking me if I'm free tonight to have dinner with Hinata and her as well." Sakura said, covering her phone to avoid Ino from hearing the speaking. Sasuke just ruffled Sakura's pink hair. "You should go with them, I have something to do at the office anyway."
Sakura was a little bored and sick of Sasuke's same excuse for telling her to have dinner on her own, or when she needed his help in something. She gave him a chance, yet he just took advantage of it. She replied to the caller rather disappointedly.
"I'll be coming over in a minute, where is the place?" Sakura nodded after hearing the location and hung up, turning to face Sasuke.
"Let me just give you a ride." Sasuke stood up, at least knowing that he had the responsibility to send her fiancée to the place where she was going.
Sakura nodded, seeing that Sasuke's mood changed slightly, she gave a silent sigh of relief. They walked silently to the car park which was just opposite the park.
Sakura told Sasuke where the place was, and he just gave a slight nod. And right when there were in the car, it was practically silent, if a pin were to drop, it would be as if a meteorite had crashed onto Earth.
Sasuke stopped the car right outside the said restaurant. Sakura finally cleared her throat, deciding that she should speak first.
"Let's talk about this matter next time, okay?" Sakura said, giving a small peck on his lips. Sasuke made a grunt and looked out of the other side of the window. Sakura pulled away as her eyes immediately held with disappointment, but she easily hid it well. She alighted the car, shutting the door behind her.
No goodbyes, no wishes, and he just drove off without looking back.
Sakura just turned around and headed to the restaurant, not really bothered about Sasuke anymore.
"Seats for?" The waiter said at the entrance.
Sakura managed a smile before looking around, and she immediately spotted two unmistakable friends with blonde and another with dark purple hair.
Sakura just pointed at her friends and the waiter understood and stood back, letting Sakura to enter. She walked to the table and sat in between Ino and Hinata.
"You are finally here forehead." Ino gave a bored look, resting her head on her palm.
"Sorry I'm late. This dinner is on me." Sakura smiled, pulling the chair and sat on it.
"I should have order lobster instead. We've ordered a set for you since we are waiting for a while." Ino pointed at a waiter who was carrying their food towards the table.
Hinata helped to put the correct orders in front of Ino and Sakura, including herself too. They began eating their dinner and Hinata and Ino were usually the ones that were starting the conversation, and only occasionally when Sakura would add in a few comments about their conversation. The rest, she just remained silent and eating a few mouthful of food.
Not just saying Ino, but even the sometimes-not-so-observant Hinata noticed something was wrong with Sakura too.
"Sakura, are you not hungry?" Hinata asked in concern, noticing that Sakura was still staring at the large amount of food that was still remaining on her plate. She jolted out from her thoughts and looked at both of her best friends who were looking at her. "I'm fine." Sakura sighed, playing with the fork in her hand.
"If there's a-any problems, you can tell me. I can try my best to help you." Hinata said, still not convinced with Sakura's reply. Sakura just shook her head.
Ino narrowed her yellow eyebrow, "We are here for you, if you kept pushing us away, we can never help you, but it's fine with us since we don't even care." Ino said in a grumpy mode even though what she said was utterly opposite of what she meant.
The blonde hated it when Sakura always pretends to be fine when everything was not fine at all. If Ino were to know that Sakura had been hiding the truth about the incident before with Sasuke, she would really flared up and crushed the whole restaurant into pieces.
Ino can tolerate if others were to keep secrets from her, but if it were to be Sakura and Hinata, it would be a definite no-no.
"Ino, You don't have to b-be that harsh." Hinata nudged the blonde quietly. Ino ignored Hinata's pleas and stared right into Sakura.
"So?" Ino directed Sakura to tell them. Hinata turned and looked at Sakura as well.
"I'm just confused over something." Sakura sighed, looking at her plate.
She felt like crying, crying on both of her best friends' shoulder. But Sakura always put up a brave front, unwilling to show anyone her weak side. She doesn't want anyone to worry for her.
"Confused over?"
Sakura bit her lips, 'Ino is right, I can't kept keeping it to myself. I told Sasori not to do the same yet I'm doing what I had told him not to do.'
"I love my job, I really do. You to know I hated being an office's lady. But… Sasuke wanted me to quite my job and go over to work with him in the business industry." Sakura sighed inwardly.
"Did you tell him you l-love the job?" Hinata asked, putting her hand on Sakura's shoulder.
"I did! But he just wouldn't listen. I don't know if he was jealous because I was working with Sasori and Deidara, but he just kept forcing me to work with him. I really don't know what to do. I don't want just because of such a small matter, and both of us had a tiff and ignored each other…"
'… Like we always before.'
"If he loves you, he should always spare a though for you, be there for you. But what is he doing now? Giving you more burdens than you already had. This is not what lovers should do to the other!" Ino picked up the fork and jabbed it without mercy onto the cloth that was over the table, remembering her previous ex-boyfriends
"Maybe Sasuke really cares for you." Hinata said, trying to put everything on the bright side.
"We'll sort this out, thanks guys." Sakura could only managed a faint smile as she returned to her food.
Ino sighed, putting the utensil on the table. "I can't say anything Sakura, but as long as you truly know you love Sasuke, I have nothing to comment or say anything about it. We will just hope you two can settle this straight without anything going wrong." Her tone changed and all Ino gave was a caring smile.
Sakura gave a blank look, still staring at her food. It was not because she was daydreaming and didn't listen to Ino's advice, but it was because she was thinking exactly what the blonde had said;
"As long as you truly know you love Sasuke…"
"As long as you truly know you love Sasuke…"
Ino and Hinata just gave a quick glance at each other before heating up another conversation to brighten up their mood.
Deep down; not just Ino, but Hinata as well, noticed the changes in Sakura. Sakura was upset, even distressed than a kid who just lost their favorite toy. She felt so confused inside and does not know what to do. She had to choose, she knew Sasuke very well. If she doesn't follow what Sasuke told her to do, he'll definitely ignored her until she does what he told her to.
'As long as I truly know if I love Sasuke?' Sakura mused, finding the question rather amusing and hilarious. Sakura just gave a faint smile and slight shook her head, continuing eating her dinner.
'Love? Like? But seriously, I don't even bother to know if I even hated him or not anymore…'

"Ding Dong."
Sasori turned his head away from the television. He frowned and stood up, walking towards the door and pondering who could the visitor be.
He opened the door, and slightly not-so-surprise, there was Itachi, Hidan and the rest of the gang waiting outside the door, holding onto plastic bags and cartoons of drinks. "We decided that it would be your house where we would be partying at." Itachi said, even though his face was still as emotionless as ever.
Hidan stepped into the house without waiting for an invitation. "How shitty long has it been since we partied at your house?" Hidan wondered aloud, walking past Sasori. The redhead stepped aside, surprise as he looked at the silvered-haired man who was putting the bags at the counter.
Once Sasori made the wrong move by stepping aside from the door, everyone began entering the house. It was Itachi first, followed by Kisame, Pein and Kakuzu. But to Sasori's bewilderment, he never thought he would saw the blonde along with the others.
"Come on… move it, what are you waiting for? A red carpet?" Konan shoved Deidara inside.
"I can walk yeah, you don't have to push." Deidara narrowed his eyes at Konan before looking up at the redhead. The blonde just raised the cartoons of drinks in his hand. "I just can't miss this out yeah." He spoke, slightly softer than usual.
Sasori just shrugged and pointed at the kitchen, "I suppose you know where to put the things." The redhead said. Deidara gave a faint smile and entered the house with Konan.
The rest had put the things down, and sat on the couch, ready to leave the kitchen to Konan.
Deidara immediately scurried to find a seat while Sasori followed Konan to the kitchen. "You need help?" He asked, even though they were totally ruining his privacy alone at his house, but barging into anyone's home without warning was the gang's responsibility as a best friend.
"You can go and sit down." Konan pushed the redhead out of the kitchen and to the living room. "Deidara, come here and give me a hand." Konan pointed at the blonde who pretended to not hear anything.
"Deidara move it." Kakuzu pushed him out of the couch as the blonde almost fell. "You!" The blonde yelled, pointing accusingly at Kakuzu. The banker ignored the glare and continued reading the newspaper he bought.
"Ask Hidan, he's free yeah." Hidan then pointed a middle finger at Deidara.
"No No, I want you to come here." Konan wagged her finger and headed for the kitchen. The blonde groaned and followed the woman-in-charge, while the rest let Sasori sat on Deidara's space.
"Why not Hidan, not Kakuzu, not Pein, not anyone but me yeah." Deidara said unwillingly. He hated preparing food. He hated it because everyone always mocked him that he was a girl when he does.
"I don't want Hidan's babbling and saliva all over the food. And instead of preparing the food, Kakuzu would be complaining about the price instead. Kisame would probably throw away the fish and seafood quietly when I'm not looking. And you said before… Sasori was feeling unwell a few days ago, shouldn't be straining him too much." Konan said, taking out the food from the plastic bag.
"Pein? Itachi?" Deidara said.
"Just shut up and helped out. You can get more share if you do." Konan muttered angrily. Deidara's eyes lit up and quickly began following Konan's order as well.
Konan crushed the wrapper into a small ball and walked towards the small dustbin at the corner, she was about to throw the plastic bag away but she freeze when she inspect what was the content in the bin.
"What? Is there a mouse in there?" Deidara noticed Konan's reaction when she was looking down the bin. Her eyes were wide than usual. Deidara thought Konan would scream when there's a mouse; if she's a girl of course, but instead, she bend forward, to Deidara's surprise.
Without Deidara knowing, She took the shiny object from the bin and inspected it.
She stood up, bending back with the ring between her fingers. It was shining very brightly like it was polished a while ago. She slowly turned and looked at Deidara, who was too stunned to speak anything. Konan knew something was wrong as she quickly turned around and looked at the redhead in the living room, who was sitting alone quietly, staring at the television screen.
"Deidara, what is this all about?" Konan muttered quietly, ordering him to answer while waving the ring in her hand.
The blonde gulped, trying to look away from her glare that was directed at him. "I don't know, I really don't know yeah…" And that was what Deidara said.
To be continue
