Note: I think the writer's block finally died! Yesh! Anyways, I've written up to Chapter 15 now, soI'll be putting them up soon!
Chapter 11
A few moments later, a door opened and revealed none other than a boy who looked about the age of twelve.
Uchiha Sasuke.
I saw him glance at me, but he hadn't even looked like her recognized me. The first words out of his mouth was, "Give me power."
His voice was so different…he had changed a lot as well…just like Itachi had.
"Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru said shaking his head, "Be patient. Why don't you greet this nice young lady over here?"
I noticed him look at me once more, no scratch that, it was a glare. He glared at me.
"Kirei-chan, then you say hello," Orochimaru commanded.
I didn't say anything. I refused to say anything. I couldn't imagine what he must think of me now…
Still silence.
Finally, I sighed, and said, "Hello Sasuke," very stiffly.
He nodded slightly.
"That's all you have to say to me…?" I asked him. "No, never mind. You didn't even say anything!"
He raised an eyebrow.
I shook my head slowly, and turned on my heel, heading toward the door. I stopped for a moment, "Thanks a lot, Orochimaru." I noticed a glare from Kabuto, and added "sama" to the end of Orochimaru's name.
I opened the doors, and let them shut with a slam..
I walked down the hallway back to my room where I saw Aikyo sitting with breakfast, waiting for me to come back.
"You…were waiting for me?" I asked her quietly.
"Of course! I wouldn't eat without you! That would be rude," she said smiling. "What did Orochimaru-sama want anyways?"
"He wanted me to greet his guest," I said.
"Oh? Who's his guest anyways?" she asked me. She obviously didn't hear my sarcasm.
"No one important," I said before hastily changing the subject. "Why don't we start drawing on the walls or something?"
Before we could even start, there was a knock at my door. I glanced at the door for a moment, and then went to open it.
Arashi stood in front of me, I smiled at him and said hello.
"I just came to see how your mission had gone," he said slowly.
I grinned, "It went okay, I guess," I replied. "Why don't you come in?"
The moment he stepped into my room, I noticed the confusion on his face.
"What the hell…?" he asked.
"Oh, Aikyo and I are redecorating my room! Would you like to help?"
He gave me a pleading "Let me go back to my own room" look, and I shook my head.
"I think you should help us, it would be fun!" Aikyo told him. She took the words right out of my mouth.
"Er, I think I'll jus--"
Aikyo pulled him over to the wall and handed him a silver permanent marker. "All we're doing is drawing on the walls, it'll be fun!"
He looked at her like she was crazy. Well…okay, she is crazy, but I'm not going to be the one that says it to her face…
Arashi sighed, "Fine…"
I smiled, "Let's draw!"
> >
By the time we were done, the walls were covered in various drawings of completely random things…it was kind of sad actually.
I grinned, "This is much, much better. Now I'm not going to have to stare a white walls!"
Aikyo turned to Arashi, "We're going to have to do you're room next."
His smile disappeared…I was afraid to know what color Aikyo would make his room…
"Well, let's get some lunch…" Aikyo said slowly, looking at the clock in my room.
"And then we can go train!" I yelled.
They both glared at me, "How about 'no'."
I frowned, "Fine, I'll just train my myself…after I get lunch!"
We walked to cafeteria to pick up lunch, and there was the Sound Four again…arguing and yelling.
"Are they always like this…?" I asked, turning to Arashi and Aikyo.
Aikyo laughed nervously, "Sorta…"
Tap.
I blinked, and turned around. Someone had tapped me on the back…?
Kabuto…again…the bastard was really starting to annoy me. He always seemed to be everywhere…
"What the hell do you want now!" I said frustrated. "Am I not allowed to eat or something?"
"Orochimaru-sama wishes to see you," he replied curtly.
"Well, he's going to have to wait until after I eat," I snarled.
Kabuto grabbed my arm sharply, and threatened to pull me away, I turned around and punched him.
If he's such a good ninja, he should have been able to keep his guard.
Everyone in the cafeteria went silent, great, just my luck.
I noticed Kabuto performing a jutsu, his moving hands completely gave him away…
I felt my Kabau activate, it identified it as…the Temporary Paralysis Jutsu. A split second later he was finished, and I just lifted up my hand, the jutsu never came. Thanks to my wonderful Kabau, it's energy had absorbed into my hand, giving me extra chakra.
I rolled my eyes at him, "Let's go." I didn't understand how I could be called to see Orochimaru every few hours when some people were never called, not only was that extremely unfair, and also really stupid.
> >
I found myself standing in front of Orochimaru, again, for the second time in three hours.
Sasuke was sitting in a corner, just watching what was going on around him.
"What do you want?" I snapped at Orochimaru.
"I would like to inform you of your new group," he replied.
"Inform me of my new group my ass," I whispered to myself.
He glared at me. "In your group will be Aikyo, Arashi, and Sasuke."
"A group of four?" I asked slowly.
"Sort of, you three will go on the missions, and then when you return you will teach Sasuke any new jutsu you learned. Or anything you learned of that matter."
I glared at him, and left with a "Yes, sir." I turned around again to face him, "Oh, and one more thing, don't call me into your presence more than once a day, or I won't come." With that I left.
> >
Orochimaru shook his head as the girl left. "What a handful."
Kabuto nodded, "She shouldn't talk to you like that Orochimaru-sama, you should punish her."
"If I did that, then she would leave, and we can't risk that."
"There is no way that she would make it out of here alive, and if she did, then we would find her, and kill her easily," Kabuto said anxiously.
Orochimaru shook his head again, "She would be able to get out of here easily…she is much stronger than she appears. Plus, I'm sure Akatsuki would accept her with open arms if she returned…"
> >
I walked to the main entrance, and pushed the door open. I stepped out into the chilly night air. The wind blew around me.
I sat down, my back against the wall, and starred up at the sky. It was starlit. It was beautiful.
> >
"I'm going out for a few minutes," Itachi said, sighing and leaving the room. He left the headquarters, and stood outside. Staring at the bright sky…Kirei used to love to do this. He wondered where, or what she was doing right now.
Kisame poked his head out of the door. "Hey Itachi-san," he said lightly. He studied Itachi for a moment, "You're thinking about her, aren't you?"
Itachi looked down, and whispered, "Of course."
"I wonder where she is, or if she'll ever come back," Kisame said suddenly.
Itachi looked back at the sky, "So do I, I just hope she's safe…"
"I hope so, but for some reason I don't think she's very happy," a voice said from behind them. They both swerved around to find Sasori…Deidara and Zetsu.
"She is away from here after all, and I know she loved you, Itachi, so she must be sad…" Deidara said solemnly.
Sasori glanced up at the sky, "And for some reason though, I think she ended up with Orochimaru…"
> >
"Kirei, it's cold, get up!" The voice sighed, "Geez it's cold out here…how in the world can you be sleeping!"
I looked up to find Aikyo standing over me. She sighed, "You can fall asleep anywhere, can't you? What are you doing out here anyways?"
I blinked a few times, and stood up. "I was looking at the stars…"
"So, you came out here just to look at the stars and freeze your ass off?" another voice asked me. Arashi had just come outside.
I nodded slowly, but somehow it turned into a shake and I felt my a tear drift down my cheek.
Aikyo frowned, and hugged me, "You were thinking about him, weren't you?"
I nodded slowly.
"Who's 'him'…?" Arashi asked slowly.
Aikyo whispered, "I'll tell you later," she said as she led me inside.
> >
I woke up the next morning in my room, which was painted a beautiful red and black with countless markings on the wall. I smiled…but it almost instantly disappeared.
"Itachi…" I whispered.
My door slammed open. Yes slammed, it hit the wall. I sat bolt up right, and two people stared at me angrily.
Aikyo and Arashi…they both took deep breathes. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT WE WERE PUT INTO A GROUP!"
"Huh…?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT WE WERE PUT INTO A GROUP!" they repeated.
"Huh……..?"
"WHY DIDN'T YO--"
"SHUT UP!" Arashi yelled.
Aikyo sulked, "You were yelling too…"
He rolled his eyes, "I wasn't talking to you dummy," he assured her.
"Oh…Hey! I'm not dumb!"
This led into a long argument…
"Eh hem…" I coughed. They kept talking. "EH HEM" I yelled.
They both shut up and glared at me.
"So," I started, "Why are you in my room…?"
"BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T TELL US THAT WE WERE PUT INTO A GROUP!" Aikyo yelled.
Arashi covered her mouth, "God damn it…SHUT UP."
"Hat's hot hice…" Aikyo said through a covered mouth.
I stared at her, "What…?"
She pushed Arashi's hand from over her mouth, "I said, That's not nice."
"Anyways," Arashi said, staring at Aikyo suddenly, "Why didn't you tell us that we were put into a group with you and Uchiha Sasuke!"
"I fell asleep…and…er…forgot," I said, looking suddenly up at the ceiling.
"You are a really bad liar…"
"Shut up…Sasuke doesn't do anything anyways…we do the missions and we have to tell him the new jutsu learned."
Aikyo looked at me confused, "I thought you were friends with Sasuke-san…"
"I was," I started. "But…he won't talk to me."
She patted my shoulder, "I'm sure he will sooner or later, especially since you're basically the only one here that he knows."
"I sure hope so," I said, smiling at her, "I mean the last time I saw him he ran into me and I looked like a whore." They both stared at me in disbelief so I quickly added, "I was transformed into Retsu Momo while we were in Konoha so we would get caught."
Arashi shook his head, and Aikyo hit her head with her hand while they left.
Of course, I was still in bed, so I finally got up and got dressed. Normal clothing…to bad it wasn't a normal day. I missed normal days…
I stepped out of my room reluctantly, and walked down to Aikyo's room. Before I even knocked on the door, it flew open, and she pulled me in.
The lights were out…
"Aikyo…that the hell is your problem?" I asked her slowly.
"Wha--" she said in confusion, "Kirei?"
"Yes?" I asked, flicking on the light.
"Why are you here?" she asked me, shielding her eyes from the light.
"Hmm…maybe 'cause it's breakfast, and YOU PULLED me into your freakin' room before I could knock."
She looked away, embarrassed, "Sorry, I thought you were someone else."
"I noticed that," I said, rolling my eyes. "Anyways, how about we go to breakfast?"
She shook her head, "I'll meet you down there…"
"Right," I said to her, leaving her room, slowly. I didn't believe her…she was definitely up to something. I was really sure what though…
"YOU STUPID FAT IDIOT! GIVE ME THE FUCKIN' FORK!"
Kirei snapped out of whatever she was in the moment she walked into the cafeteria to hear the commotion of Tayuya yelling. She yelled everyday…
"I DON'T HAVE YOUR FORK!"
"I DON'T HAVE YOUR FORK?" she mimicked. "YOU DO TOO FATASS"
I smiled, and got my breakfast.
Preview for Chapter 12:
"Obviously not much," I replied, lowing my stance. "I wouldn't have trusted you if you had told me something about Orochimaru's hideout or such. But if you weren't really Kabuto, I don't think he would have said 'Yeah, and that Moeru Kirei girl, she doesn't trust me.' So I guess, I believe you. Somewhat."
"That's good to hear," he said, "Now, I have your mission."
"And what might it be?" I asked. Annoyance touched my voice.
He handed my a scroll, "We expect you back in no more than three days." Instantly he dashed into the forest back to where the Headquarters were located.
Did I dare open this scroll in the read the mission…? Did I want to? No, in all truth I had a terrible feeling about it.
Natsumi: See you next chapter! ((hopefully...oO;;))
