Chapter Five
I say 'tomato', you say 'WHO THE $!&( ATE MY TOMATOS!'
---------------------------------------------------
Kidomaru sat in his room, most of is arms spread out carelessly while one hand was resting firmly on his face. He gave a sigh and flopped over on his head, "What is wrong with me?" he grumbled, "Every time I'm around her I feel…" he trailed off, unsure of what he was talking about.
Kidomaru brought a hand up to his chest, rubbing lightly at the spot where the feelings tended to bubble up. They seemed to have something to do with his heart and occasionally his stomach, "Maybe I'm sick…" he tried to convince himself, "That must be it. I must be allergic to pink or something…"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Unlike Kidomaru, Sakura knew exactly what the warm fuzzy feeling was. Not that it helped.
I cant like him! She thought, pacing her room, he's one of the bad guys!
Oh come on! Inner Sakura insisted, He's nicer than most of the good guys we know!
He kidnapped me!
A minor technicality…
He works for Orochimaru!
All the more reason to save him!
He's not cute!
I agree
Really?
Yeah….HE'S TOTALLY HOT!
Sakura groaned and slumped down on her bed, "No he's not…"
CHA! Whatever! He's got those dark sad eyes-
Lots of guys have dark, sad eyes.
And that cute, spiky ponytail-
So does Shikamaru
And that smexy little smirk of his-
Please leave me alone….
And all those hands! Did you ever stop to think what he could-
"La la la! I'm not liiiiistening!" Sakura sang, wrapping a pillow around her head.
"Just because I stole some of your underwear, doesn't mean you can be rude to me!"
Sakura looked up and blinked, 'Oh! Dosu….I wasn't talking to you. I was…um…singing!" suddenly the reality of what he said hit her, "wait, what? You stole my underwear? Why you little-"
"Ah ah!" The bandage man smirked, waving a finger at her mockingly, "Be nice or I won't feed you!"
Sakura stared at him, a frown forming slowly, "But…Kidomaru said he would bring me dinner."
Dosu cocked his head to the side, "The itsy bitsy spider won't come out of his room. He doesn't want to talk to any one right now…" his single dark eye met her vibrant green ones, "Did some thing happen between you two?"
"No!" she snapped a little too quickly. Dosu's visible eye brow rose slightly, "uh…I mean…what makes you think that?"
He looked at her a moment longer then shrugged, "He thinks of you as his friend. I just thought he might tell you what's been bothering him lately." He turned and began shuffling out of the room, "well come on…Oro-sama will have my head if I let you starve."
"Am I really that important? And what do you mean, 'come one'? Aren't you supposed to bring the food to my room?"
Dosu glanced over his shoulder, "um…well…yes, normally I would but…no ones around to cook and I might poison you with what ever I try to make…"
"So now I have to make my own food?" she asked, laughing a little and fallowing him, "You guys really aren't very good at this prisoner thing, are you?"
"We've never kept a prisoner this long before." He said simply. She left it at that. After walking down many boring stone halls, Dosu finally opened a door and lead her into a simple yet large kitchen, "Here you go! Have fun!"
Sakura shook her head, laughing slightly as Dosu perched on one of the high stools arranged around the island in the center, "What should I make?"
"Food."
"You're no help at all…and don't think I forgot about that pantie snatching remark!" he just smirked under the bandages, watching as the pink haired girl went digging through the fridge and cabinets, "So who usually does the cooking?"
"Kidomaru. Some times Kabuto. If neither of them are around you just have to fend for yourself. I once ate nothing but peanut butter toast for two weeks when they were both out on a mission." He grimaced under his plethora of wrappings, "I still can't look at the stuff with out gagging…"
"Well I guess PB&J's are out of the question then," She smiled at him over the fridge door. There was a long silence, filled only by the gentle clinking of items in the ice box.
"Why are you so nice to us?" Dosu blurted out before he could stop himself.
Sakura raised a delicate pink eyebrow, "Why not?" he didn't look at her as she began pulling stuff out of the refrigerator, "I guess it's just how I was raised."
"No one's ever been this nice to me before and not want anything back." He said slowly, still not looking at her, "to any of us, actually…Orochimaru took us in and helped us but only because he wanted to use us." The bitterness in his voice was sharp and cold.
"I…I never knew." Unsure of what to say, Sakura opted for patting him on the shoulder in sympathy.
There was a calm moment in which Dosu enjoyed the warmth of another person truly caring and Sakura began to rethink her whole view on the Sound nins, "What are you making?' Dosu asked, shattering the moment.
"Oh! They're called tacos! They're really good!" She said, happily chopping up some lettuces. She didn't notice Dosu's eye falling on the three ripe, red tomatoes she had pulled out.
Should I tell her those are Sasuke's? he thought, starting to help her find stuff, naw…the teme wont even be back for another two weeks…I'll just replace them before he gets back.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
The first to find the cooking pair had been Kimimaro. After he was done glomping Sakura he decided he wanted to help. Next had been Sakon and Ukon, closely fallowed by Jirobo. Tayuya had stomped in, screaming and cursing about something or other. Sakon stuffed a taco in her open mouth, effectively shutting her up.
"What's going on?" Kin asked, walking into the rather messy kitchen and seeing every one laughing.
"Sakura made us dinner." Jirobo said, handing her a plate, "Come on! its really good!"
Thus Kin joined the fray, talking and laughing, "This is kind of like a party!"
"We've never had a party before." Kimimaro stated coolly, "So how would you know?"
"You guys have never had a party?" Sakura gasped, "Wow! Back in Konoha, I had things like this all the time with my….friends…" Suddenly the room went very quiet and still. Sakura blinked, fighting back the sudden rush of home sickness. I want to go home… she thought suddenly, I miss my friends and my family. I want to see Tsunade again and play Shogi with Neji and Shikamaru…I want to eat raman with Naruto and have sleep overs with Ino and Hinata and Tenten…
Slowly Sakura looked up into the anxious faces surrounding her, No ones ever been this nice to me and not want anything back…to any of us… Dosu's words echoed around in her head, bouncing painfully off her brain.
They were the bad guys.
They were monsters.
They were…human.
Sakura's face split into a grin, "I just got a great idea!" slightly thrown by the sudden attitude change, the sound nins looked around at each other, "We should have a slumber party!"
"What the hell is that?" Tayuya snapped, though you could tell she really was interested.
"Well…I used to have them all the time when I was a Genin…We're a little old for it now but…" she trailed off, lost in thought, "Do you guys have a large room with couches and chairs and a tv and stuff?"
The group fell silent for a moment, "I guess we could move some stuff out of training room 4 and put that stuff in there…" Jirobo said slowly.
"That's perfect!" Sakura squealed, clapping her hands like a little girl, "Ok, Dosu, you come with me to move the stuff. The rest of you, go change into your PJ's and get pillows and blankets and stuff." They all blinked at her like she was some crazy person, "and some one should invite Kidomaru…" she added, keeping back a slight blush, "well what are you waiting for? Do you want to have some fun or what? GO!"
"Yes, ma'am!" they mock saluted then scattered. This was going to be an interesting night…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darkkinkachu: Don't look at me like that…bad guys can have slumber parties too! Sorry for that fluffy little moment with Sakura and Dosu…I was trying to convey Sounds dwindling faith in their master and the fact that they are indeed humans, with human feelings. Next chapter will be chalk full of stupidity and sugar rushes -.- yay…and (NO! THE HORROR!) Truth or Dare! Oooo…what shall I have them do? I think I feel some random stupid dares and deep dark secrets coming on…review with ideas if there's a truth/dare you really want to see! BY THE WAY! Can Sakon and Ukon separate? I haven't seen the episode with them yet…
