Singing
'Desiree's inner self'
'Shukaku'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaara awoke from the sound of an instrument being played. The fact that for the first time in god knows how long he had slept startled him. It wasn't just any sleep ether it was a dreamless one. No nightmares of killing, of blood shed or the screams of people as they were being ripped apart. The demon in his let Gaara sleep and he was grateful for it. It made him wondered what Shukaku was up to because he didn't try to take control. He finally opened his dull green eyes. The light of the new morning poured into his vision forcing him to blink a few times to get use to the invasion of light. When he got use to it he sat up and leaned against the head bored. He may have only slept for maybe an hour and a half but he did sleep. Looking around he saw Desiree playing an instrument across the room from him. He had never seen anything like what she was holding in her hands.
Desiree didn't know she had an audience. She was too focused on the guitar in her hand as she fiddled with some notes. She was on the bed facing the window with one leg over the side and the other was crossed. Looking through the window ever once and a while.
Gaara looked to the other bed that was occupied last night but apparently not anymore because the bed had been made and there wasn't anyone else in the room. He quickly turned his attention back to the girl on the bed when she stopped playing random notes and started to play a soulless tune. She closed her eyes and sung in a voice hat wasn't high pitched, but not too deep. It sounded perfect for her.
Someone falls to pieces sleepin' all alone,
Someone kills the pain.
Spinning in the silence till someone finally looks away.
Someone gets exited in the chapel yard,
and caches the bouquet.
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave.
Yaaaahhhh-
She stopped when she felt like she was being watched. She looked towards Gaara and smiled. "Morning mister-I-don't-sleep-'cause-demon-wont-let-me." She said playfully. "I was going to wake you up in fifteen minutes red." She stated and went back to picking her guitar.
'Red?' Gaara thought to himself and raised a vary delicate eyebrow. (AN: MY STORY!)
When he didn't say anything she said "oh! And Sasuke went for a walk about thirty minutes ago. He should be back any time now so you should use the bathroom now. " She informed him. 'Not very talkative hmm.' She shook her head.
He nodded but didn't make a move to get off the bed. "….You didn't have to stop." He said in a monotone voice.
"I know." She simply said as she played with the cords of her guitar. The light was shining from the window illuminating her. Des's lip ring showed from the light. Her hair looked soft and shiny. The light and the wind blowing the curtains around her made her look almost angelic.
Gaara stopped himself from sucking in a sharp breath. She looked peaceful and almost godly like that. He had never been one to care much for other people much less others of the opposite gender, but he had to admit to himself that she was not unattractive. He blushed a bit and turned his head remembering when she had hugged him before she went to sleep. "…Your ok with that 'thing'." He was referring to her dark wood guitar. He said it with so hesitation. He wasn't use to talking much about things that didn't have to do with fighting or this so called 'LOVE' word that people keep forcing him to talk about.
She stopped for a second and looked at him. "Thanks! This isn't a 'thing' it's called a guitar." She said joyfully and started to play a little ditty for him. "You don't know a lot about music do you Red?" she said it more of a statement then a question.
"No." He simply answered like it was nothing. "I don't listen to music often and when I do its festival type music." He said quietly.
"Well that's no good." She smiled and shook her head. She got an idea. "You wanna hear a song?" she saw that he wasn't going to reply so she took it as a yes. She took a deep breath and hesitated before she started to play the melody. (AN: she plays the song softer sense she has just a guitar)
I'm not sober all the time,
You bring me down. At lest you try.
Until we see this eye to eye I don't want you.
Gaara got interested in the song sense it seemed not to be such a happy on.
I must be running out of luck
'Cause your just not drunk enough to fuck.
And now I've had it up to here and I don't want you.
It took so long to say
You walked away from me-e
When I need you.
Wake up! I'm pounding on the door
I'm not the man I was before.
Where the hell were you when I need you
Wake up! I'm pounding on your door
I won't hurt you anymore.
Where the hell were you when I need you.
I'm not angry all the time.
You push me down at lest you try.
Until we see this eye to eye I don't want you
It took so long to say
You walked away from me-e
When I need you.
Wake up! I'm pounding on you door
I'm not the man I was before.
Where the hell were you when I need you
Wake up! I'm pounding on your door
I won't hurt you anymo-
She was cut off again, but this time it was because the door opened. This caused Desiree to mess up and she instantly stopped playing. Looking up she saw Sasuke in the doorframe with his hands in his pockets. Desiree smiled. "How are you this fine morning?" she asked nicely. Getting off the bed she set her guitar on it and walked in front of him.
Sasuke just grunted and walked past her. Heading to the shower he asked over his shoulder. "What time is it?"
Desiree looked to the side table at the clock. "It's 7:02 sweet pea." She put her hand on the doorknob. "I'm going to go wake the others." She waked out of the room and shut the door behind her. Sasuke shut the door of the bathroom with a click.
So sat the great Gaara of the Sand looking at the guitar on Desiree's bed sitting upright on his bed. Arms crossed and alone, as usual.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Desiree walked swiftly down the steps looking at the glorious new day. It was a bit chilly but it would get wormier as the time passed. It was the a few days until spring ended and the summer began. She had gotten out of school already and it felt so nice not to be in that fascist tortures chamber called high school. Stopping and turning to face a door she knocked on it. She then took a smoke out of her short pocket and lights it with a match. She breathed in the soothing cigarette. Kate one of her best friends had told her to quit more times then she could remember, but Des just didn't listen. That was Desiree's problem she never listened.
The door finally opened and Lee was standing there and smiling at her. "Good morning Des-chan! How was your sleep." He noticed the cigarette move to her mouth, but he decided not to start discussing the heath risks of smoking. It was obvious that he had been up for a while because he was dressed in a green suit and was clean. Where as she was still in her p.j.s. "How did you sleep?"
Desiree leaned on the doorframe. She had her arms crossed and her head was resting on the frame. She smiled and moved her hand to take the smoke out of her mouth. "Good morning to you too. I slept fine thank you." She got off the doorframe.
Lee took a step back to let Des into the room. But Desiree just shook her head no. "Sorry sweet pea I'm just your wake up call and I gotta go and wake the others." She poked her head in to see if Spike was still asleep and he was. She turned to Lee with a mused voice. "Lee, uh Spike won't get up if you just shake him. I've known him scenes before I could walk. You'll need to use force on him." She winked at Rock Lee.
"OK! Des-chan!" he said and did his famous good guy pose. Witch made Desiree roll her eyes and take a puff of her smoke.
Lee was about to close the door but was stopped by Desiree's voice as she called back. "You umm might wanna be careful around." Lee shut the door and turned to see two lazy looking people asleep. He sighed. Walking over to Kiba first he shook him awake.
"Mmm-what is someone attacking?" Kiba sat up and rubbed his eyes groggily. His messy hair was everywhere and he looked like he had tossed and turned all night.
"No it's time to get up Kiba." Lee chirped. He plastered a smile on his face. "You should go and have a shower well I wake him up and clean up!" He pointed to Spikes general direction. He walked to his bed and started to make it neatly.
Kiba just yawned and scratched his head. He looked to his side and saw Akamaru still sleeping on the ground. He got out of bed to crack his back. He dragged his lazy butt to the bathroom shut the door and a few moments latter you could hear the water run.
After Lee got finished with making his and Kiba's bed. Akamaru woke up with a yelp as Lee stepped on his tail. "Oh sorry!" Lee said apologetically. The dog just huffed and went back to sleep. Sighing he turned to Spike walking up to him, he shook Spike like he did to Kiba.
Spike just mumbled something incoherent and rolled away from Lee. "WAKE UP!" he screamed and shook Spike again. Still nothing from the blonde boy that could probably sleep through a tornado. Lee's extremely large eyebrow twitched in annoyance. Even Naruto wasn't this bad. Before Rock Lee could think of anything else to do two arms rapped around Lee's waist and arms and was pulled down. "Fuzziness." Mumbled Spike as he rubbed agents the side of Lee's shocked face. Lee was trying to get out of Spikes grip but it was trying to get out of a goddamn bear trap! He froze and faced the door of the bathroom.
Kiba opened the door just in time to see Spike holding onto Lee. He raised an eyebrow and he wish he had a camera to take a picture of Lee's shocked, repulsed, and horrified face. He tried to stifle his laugh with his hands but it didn't work well as he burst out laughing holding his gut.
Lee panicked. "GET THE HELL OFF ME!" Lee finally pried himself from the grip of a freak. He took a step away from the bed and also took a frustrated breath. "Ok lets do what Desiree-chan said to do." He said under his breath. He had a frown on. Grabbing the ends of the sheet that Spike was on top of and gave it a yank throwing Aaron to the ground with a thud.
"WHAT THE!" Came the blonde who was currently on the floor rubbing his sour head.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Desiree got the girls up easily but had stopped to chitchat with them. Carder got Naruto up already. Carder told her that Neji was meditating and had been gone just as he got up. She was going to get Neji but she thought against it. He looked responsible enough. So now she was at the final door. She put out her smoke and knocked lightly and waited a minute before knocking again. This time she turned the knob to see if it was locked. It wasn't. 'He must be still sleeping.' She walked into the room and looked around. She noticed that it was a smaller room with one bed. Witch was occupied by a cretin silver haired man.
Kakashi was still asleep on his stomach with the bottom half of his face covered by his white pillow and she suspected he wasn't wearing a shirt. (AN: -drools-) She got closer to him and noticed his hair wasn't as up as it usually was and she saw he had a scar over his left eye. This made questions run through her head but she pushed them aside. Desiree reached down to touch his muscular arm in order to wake him up.
Suddenly his hand grabbed hers before she could touch him. His eyes shot open witch revealed a onyx eye and a red eye that appeared to have a three black pinwheel looking things. His face stayed in the pillow and he was staring at her.
Desiree was startled but didn't show it. She just looked down at him and placed a smile on. She realized that he must have thought she was an assassin or whatever ninja's had to deal with.
When his brain registered that this was who was suppose to be their guide he let go but kept his eyes on her.
Desiree felt like he was staring rate through her and into her soul. It made her uneasy so she turned around with her back facing him so he could get up just incase he was naked or something. 'We can only hope…' said the promiscuous part of Desiree's head. (AN: think of Sakura's inner self. This is her sexuality instead ;p) She was glad that her back was to him so he couldn't see her face go pink ever so slightly. 'BAD Des bad. Don't think like that.' She said to her sinful side. 'What it wouldn't be so bad would it?' that side said. She raised an eyebrow. 'He's too old for us!" she yelled in her head. 'Oh that's never stopped you before.' the sinful Desiree said in a bored tone. 'Well that's true' she said. 'Wait that's not the point!' she was getting frustrated. 'Hey what do I know I'm just you.' Her arguing with herself was cut short when she heard rustling from behind her.
She remembered why she was there. She said as she was looking at the book on his nightstand that had the title 'Come Come Paradise'. "Sorry I was just here to get you up."
"Thank you Desiree." It still sounded weird when he tried to say it. He had gotten out of bed and was just in his black pants. He reached to the side table and got his mask on He walked in front of the young girl that had her back to him. He couldn't help but notice her eyes wondering his chest aria. Raising his eyebrow he coughed. Witch caught her attention. She quickly moved her head to look in front of her. "I was wondering. Why did someone so young like yourself be guiding us?"
Desiree suppressed her blush from being caught and just smiled. She couldn't resist the urge to look at his muscular chest. She took a breath. "Well I over heard my faster mom Kim takling to the Hogike-"
"Hogake." He corrected her.
"Well yah anyway she said finding someone to show you around and sense I have nothing better to do and a big house why not me." She said in one breath.
"Is your mother of importance? No offence"
"Faster mother." It was her turn to correct him. "And she's the Mare of the City of London. She's sorta in charge." She said sort of bored.
"Oh ok." With that he walked into the bathroom.
'HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS THAT NICLEY BIULT!' her inner self said. Desiree walked outside and shut the door behind her. She couldn't help but breath heavily for some reason. She let out a little dreamy sigh. "Kakashi is hansom when he is sleeping." She said out loud. 'Hehehe.' It was known that Desiree wasn't good at steady relationships because her little obsession with the opposite gender. 'Shut up.' She simply said. Shaking her head she headed back to her room to get dressed.
. Desiree took another cigarette out of her pocket and lighted it as she did this she passed Neji and took the smoke out of her mouth. "Good morning." She took a puff and smiled at him.
Neji just nodded his head to be polite but didn't say anything. He turned his head and watched her as she walked she started to sing,
I open my eyes. I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light.
I can't remember how I can't remember why I'm lying here tonight.
Neji then went into his room.
Desiree just hummed the rest of the song as she opened the door to her room and closed it behind her. She still had the smoke in her mouth as she looked around.
Sasuke was sitting on the edge of his bed with his arms crossed and on leg crossed over the other witch was on the floor. He had his eyes fixed on the TV but wasn't really paying attention more like lost in thought. He was wearing a high neck short sleeved dark blue shirt and creamy shorts. He also had on blue and white arm and leg bands on. He had on his Hidden Leaf protector on his forehead. His unruly black hair made his pale skin stick out.
Gaara on the other hand had gotten changed into something else. Now he was wearing a long sleeve black shirt with a gray vest. He had on black baggy paints with pockets everywhere. This made Desiree jealous because she now wanted those pants because of her fetish for baggy pants. He was sitting in the same position except his eyes were closed. Gaara's huge gourd was on the ground beside his bed. What it was for Desiree didn't have a bloody clue.
The only nose was coming from the TV witch was playing some stupid Spanish soap opera. 'Well isn't loud in here?' she thought sarcastically. She took a puff of her smoke well walking to her bed and looked at the clock on the table. "7:18 I should have a shower." She said to herself. Desiree reached into her bag and grabbed some clothes and hairbrush and other stuff. She put out he smoke in the ashtray that was on the table. Something felt off. Suddenly it clicked she noticed her guitar was missing. She had left it out of its case on the bed and it was no longer there. "What the?" she looked around worriedly for it. She looked at Gaara and saw her guitar was in its' case behind him on his bed.
Gaara was looking at her but didn't say anything god forbid that unspeakable crime to happen.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Desiree was finally done getting ready. She was wearing dull green baggy pants and a black sleeveless turtleneck that showed the tattoos on her arms. She had black and red shoes on. She walked out and sat on her bed with a towel over her wet hair. She looked to see only Gaara on the bed in the same position she had left him. 'Sasuke must have got bored. Don't blame him. It's like a graveyard in here.' She looked at the clock and it was already 8:16. She was notorious for taking long showers. She started to dry her hair with the towel. When she took it off her hair fell around her it was a mess so she took her hairbrush and started to brush the tangles out.
Gaara watched her intently. He didn't know why but he liked to watch her. Like everything she did was interning even thou it wasn't. He didn't know why he had put her guitar away. For some reason he thought if something should happened to it she wouldn't sing anymore and that worried him thou he wouldn't admit it. He shifted in his place.
She put her hair up into a short ponytail and put a black bandana on that showed no hair. She also put a cross necklaces on that reached her properly proportioned chest and she put a small cross earring in her right ear, another on that was on a inch long sliver line. It was in her left ear and finally a red ear cuff on the top of her left ear. She reached into her bag and took out a two granular bars and through one to Gaara who easily cot it. She packed her stuff and walked over to Gaara and grabbed the guitar that was behind him and put the strap around her shoulder and her back pack on her other shoulder. "Let's wait outside for the others Red." Desiree motioned with her head to the door. And turned and walked outside.
Gaara got off the bed. He put the bar of food in his pocket for later and picked up the gourd off the ground. 'You like her.' Shukaku stated inside of his head. 'I do not.' But all he heard was the Demon's evil laughter in his head. He cut the mind link and followed Desiree out the door. He walked up to where she was sitting in the dirt and sat down with her.
In the next few minutes the others started to gather.
Naruto was wining about being too early. Kiba was telling him to shut up. Sakura was trying to get close to Sasuke and Lee was trying to get close to Sakura.
Neji was sitting with Ten-ten quietly. Spike and Carder were talking. Hinata was getting close to Naruto blushing. Sasuke was leaning against the nearest wall looking annoyed.
Kakashi was the last to show up. He was smiling and trying to make up some excuse about being late.
"You're not late Kakashi." Desiree said as she got out her guitar and played with the notes.
"What do you mean he was. We should have been off by now." Said Sakura.
"I not walking. Were getting a ride to the city." She said then yawned.
A lot of 'OH's' were heard. "So relaxes children and enjoy the peace and quiet." Desiree said with a smirk.
"HEY I'M NOT A CHILD!" screamed Naruto as he jumped off the ground and pointed a finger at Desiree.
"What is the age group of them?" She was asking Kakashi who's head been in his book.
Kakashi put his finger in his page and spoke. "Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, and Ten-ten are 14. The rest are 15." He went back to his book.
"See." Desiree said trying to mock Naruto. Witch worked but Sakura pulled him to the ground and told him to nock it off. "Spike is 17, Carder is 18, and I myself am 16 turning 17 in a few months." she said carelessly. She played the tune to Home by Michel Buble without singing to it.
Naruto eventually settled down enough to listen to the song. They all did.
"Where did you learn to play like that?" Sakura asked in awe.
Desiree didn't stop playing but smiled at the Pink haired younger girl. "I tot myself." This made Sakura's eyes widen. Her smile got wider. "I'm in a band too. We play a lot harder music. Not soft stuff like this." She looked down at her hands when she picked at the cords.
"Who's in your band?" it was an innocent enough question that came from Rock Lee.
"Well there is Me the lead singer, and there is Spike on base witch is a basically a guitar." She was making it easy for them to understand. "Carder on the drums. B.J. Lead guitar, Kate-well she plays a lot of instruments but is mostly our DJ. Uh Greg sometimes plays the guitar when I don't want to witch happens more often then I would like." She sighed and finished the song.
"You'll meet the others soon." Spike jumped into the conversation. "And sense you'll be staying at Des's you'll see them all the time.
Desiree just nodded. She suddenly looked up when she saw something yellow heading towards them. "Our ride is here." She was referring to the small school bus that stopped rate by them. Desiree and the others stood up. (AN: one of those small ones that have like 8 seats.)
The door to the bus opened and everyone got inside slowly and sat like this:
1st seat Ten-ten and Neji
2nd seat Sakura and Sasuke to his annoyance
3rd seat Lee and Carder
4th seat Spike and Kiba with Akamaru
5th seat Hinata and Naruto
6th seat Kakashi
7th seat Gaara
8th seat the backpacks and stuff
Desiree was the last to get in because she had to tell the bus driver where to go. After that she walked to seat that had the stuff on it and put her guitar gently down so it wouldn't fall if they made a sharp turn. She walked up to Gaara and sat beside him at the window seat. Gaara was surprised but only showed it for a second. She turned her head to him and smile. "Can't wait to get home." She said in a cheery voice as the bus started to move towards the city that these people had never seen before.
