Chapter 2: Mall Trip
"Minori Kin!" An older female voice hissed the second that I turned to shut the door behind me. "Give me one god damn can't you answer your phone." I mentally curse as my entire body went ridged from the demon's scolding voice. "Well?" The demon demanded forcefully. I could hear a slight tapping sound from behind me. I mentally sighed then I slowly turned and looked towards the kitchen doorway. A short lady around the height of 4'10" was leaning against the door way. Her arms where crossed tightly across her chest, her dark green eyes were narrowed in anger as her little pug nose flared. I gulped and quickly looked at the floor. "I was in school." I muttered as I gripped the door knob tightly. Thankfully the knob didn't make a noise. "Like you don't text your friends in school." She snapped, puffing out her pale cheeks in irritation. Her eyes were narrowed into slits. She was impatiently tapping her foot. The tell-tale signs of the demon's warning signals before she attacks. "If your father was in town, I bet your ass would have answered that god damn phone real quick." My gripped tightened even more on the door knob. Don't parents usually scold their children for being on their phones to much? "You always show me disrespect when he's not around! You think that you are some type of queen or something!" And the attack begins. The demon ranted with great sweeps of her arms. "You are so ungrateful for everything! I have half a mind to snatch that damn thing from you!" I started to tighten and untighten my grip on the door knob, unsure of how to escape this situation.
"I know what it is!" The demon hissed angrily, as if she suddenly came to the realization of something. "You are after my man, aren't you!" It took all my physical and mental effort not to shake, nor respond to the demons hate speech. "You are just like your whore sister! Lying about shit just so you can get fucked right! Your poor father was probably seduced by that nasty whore!" The demon growled as her foot tapped faster. She's about ready to launch… "That Daddy Kink must run in the fucking nasty family then!" She spat. "I feel so bad for your parents for giving birth to disgusting things like you! If they aborted you all then everything would be better! Their lives, my live, everyone's!" The demon was practically foaming at the mouth at this point. God, I wish I could just choke her… An quick image flashed through my head, but I quickly pushed it away. Don't think about that. It will not end well… Potatoes, Potatoes, Potatoes. "And another thing," The demon continued to berate, but I zoned her out, for her safety. This is why I hate coming home with the demon guarding the fucking kitchen. "Aren't you going to say anything!?" The demon raged. I flinched and leaned closer to the door, snapping out of my daze.
"Fucker, you weren't listening where you?! You're not fucking deaf!" She growled darkly. Sometimes I wish I was so I wouldn't have to listen to your voice. It would make my life so much easier. The same image as before flashed in my head. I flinched against I forced the image away. "Why they fuck are you cowering? Did I hit you? Do I ever fucking hit you?" She spat. I would rather you did. Physical is easier to prove than mentally or emotionally. The more you yell the more I remember unwanted shit. I slowly readjusted myself so I was standing up straight again so the demon would stop her verbal assault. We stood there a moment in silence, the demon was huffing from anger and I was forcing my breath out normally so I would not upset the demon anymore. No matter how much I willed it, I was not able to force my legs to move up that big, oak stair case to my little room in the attic. The only safe place in this entire godforsaken house. "Aren't you going to say anything?!" The short demon screeched. I winced slightly from the sound of her voice. "You always act like I am the villain! I don't do shit to you!" L swallowed a lump in my throat as I continued to look at the floor. "Sorry ma'am." I muttered as my body started to tremble slightly, much to my dismay. "Is that all you say?! It seems like every time I turn around you are saying "sorry" for something!" Her voice yelled as it approached me. Please don't…." If I had things go my way then your ass wouldn't even be here." The demon shrieked as she marched on her war path towards me. If I had it my way I wouldn't be here either bitch! All I could do was shake as I held onto the door knob.
When she was a few feet from me, I felt the door knob twist in my hand. This caused me to jump… toward the demon. The demon jolted to a stop as she saw me coming towards her. She took a quick step to the side to avoid me. Thus, my shoulder collided with the floor. Hard. I hissed in pain and rolled to my back. "Dumbass." A teenage male voice snorted. I looked up just as a size 11 shoe stepped over my face. I flinched and looked at the ground. "Akihiko! Honey! Welcome home!" The demon exclaimed in a sweet, motherly voices as she scurried past me towards her son. I laid on the floor a moment as listen to the foots steps. Fuck these ass holes! Once I deemed them far enough away, I rolled to my uninjured side. I slowly pushed myself up off the ground. Asses. Fuckers. Bitches. I fucking hate you all! I am so going to spit in the fucking milk again. I hissed in pain as I gently rubbed my injured arm. I grumbled and made my way upstairs to my sanctuary. I made sure my foot steps were quiet as I quickly made my way up the stair case. Once at the top, I turned left down the hall and walked all the way to the back of the hallway. Once I was a few feet from the window, I reached up and pulled the old string that was barely visible. After lightly tugging it, the pullout stairs/latter came tumbling down. The stairs were old, rotten wood that seemed like it would snap at any moment. I quickly danced up the steps, avoiding the parts of the steps that I was more likely to break.
The attic was a small old little thing. The ceiling was so low, that I had to hunch over. The wood beams were covered in cobwebs with spiders in them. There was a tiny dresser to one side of the room with a drawer missing. In the middle of the floor, there was a half-broken box spring and mattress. The mattress was bare excepted for a wimpy pillow and a small blanket. I danced my way over to the dresser, making sure not to step on the loose floor boards. Once there, I quickly removed my school uniform and slipped into my normal street clothes. I smiled softly as I looked down at the shirt I was wearing. It was a present from my friends for transferring schools. Dumb asses act like I would never see them again. I quickly retrieved my phone from my pants pocket. I flipped it open and sent a quick text to Yoko to meet me at the nearest park.
I grabbed my wallet off the dresser and made my way over to the tiny window at the other end of the attic. I was barely small enough to fit through it. The window overlooked the back yard. I opened the window and carefully made my way out. After I slipped my first leg out, I made sure that my foot touched the lower roof before I moved. Once I made sure my footing was secured I ducked my head and twisted my body so that I was able to get my other leg out. After I was free from the window, I crept along the gutter to the other side of the house. I made sure to duck under every window in case the demon or that bastard was in a room. Once I made it to the edge of the roof, I quickly climb down the latter that I had hidden there when I first moved in. This section of the house was untouched by all the other occupants. So, hiding this damn latter was easy.
I quickly made my way down the latter and over the fence that lead into the ally beside the house. Once on the other side, I scurried towards the mouth of the ally. It only took a moment or two to reach the end, but I kept running. I ran towards the park as fast as I my feet could carry me. I was so happy to be leaving that demon's den. The park was only ten minutes away from my house, so by the time that I got there I was huffing from being completely out of shape. On the way there, I also had to be careful who saw me, so I was constantly ducking behind trash cans. The demon had spies everywhere. This area was heavily infested with them. After I arrived at the park, I sat on the old rusty swing as I caught my breath and waited for Yoko to get here.
After a few moments, my thoughts started to drift. The image from before kept trying to take over my thoughts like a fucking parasite. Yoko needs to get here soon… I don't think I can last much longer… I was completely lost in my own world when Yoko pulled up. I didn't even notice she was there until she honked the horn. I jolted and fell backwards off the swing because of how lost in thought I was. "Minny! Are you okay?!" Yoko yelled from her car. I groan, laying there looking up at the clear blue sky. Is this some type of metaphor for my life? "Minny!?" Yoko yelled more frantically. I held up my hand and gave her a thumb up. "Never better Yoko." I muttered. As I sat up, I felt a slight ache in my head. "Fuck" I muttered running the back of my head. "You sure you're okay?" Yoko's concern voice called. I waved her off as I got to my feet and walked over to the car.
"That kind of day, huh?" She asked with a sympatric look as I was walking over. I nodded my head in response. "So how was your first day?" Yoko asked, moving her long blonde hair away from her face. Her blue-green eyes looking at me throw her thick framed glasses. I snorted as I slid into the passenger seat. "That bad." She raised an eye brow. "Should have guessed with the way you fell off the swing." She snickered. I rolled my eyes and proceed to flip her off, but I smiled at her none the less. "It was certainly … interesting." I muttered, flashing her a small grin. "Bitch, I want all the fucking details." Yoko sang as she pulled off. I laughed before I relayed all the events that happened to me that day.
The story of my day took the entire twenty-five-minute drive to tell. The reason for this was because Yoko kept giving her input on the story. Mainly suggestions on how I should have knocked out Blonde and Hidan. She was also very insisting about me telling Tobi to "Fuck Off" about how … touchy his is. "I'm just say Minny," Yoko ranted "that if a guy was like that with me I would punch him." "Haru." I said looking at her blankly. "I'm dating Haru, that doesn't count." Yoko protested. I rolled my eyes and stare out the window. "Hypocrite." I muttered under my breathe. "I am not. I am only caring about my wife." Yoko sighed in irritation. "You just want me all to yourself, stop lying." I smiled at her. "Oh yes, completely." She said sarcastically as she pulled into a parking spot. "Hey, don't forget you use to worship me in middle school." I reminded as we both exited the car. "Will you let that go!" Yoko groaned dramatically. "Never." I sang as we made our way inside the mall. "Besides, how will Uke-chan feel about this guy getting all touchy with you." Yoko asked, giving me a sly smirk. "I don't know. Probably just respond in the usual Uchiha way." I shrugged. "I swear." Yoko muttered dramatically. I blinked at her in confusion. "Oh yeah, where is Haru? He is usually with you." I asked while I looked around. "He's visiting family. He wanted me to tell you that it's your job to protect me from all the perverts while he is gone." Yoko said in a completely wrong imitation of Haru's voice. "Aye, aye captain Haru! Have fun on your pirate adventure." I mock saluted.
Once inside, we sat down on the benches that were right outside F.Y.E. "So, who's all here?" I asked as we plotted down. "Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Sasuke I believe. Hinata had to work and Tenten and Neji are off on a date." Yoko answered. "Where is the Sand Monster and his troll of siblings at?" I teased. Yoko glared at me as she responded, "Gaara, is out of town right now. He is visiting his relatives." "You mean other mafia members." I muttered. "We all know that fucker as no other family." "Really?" Yoko snapped as she furrowed her brow in irritation. "The guy only has his siblings as living relatives, but he goes to "visit family" quite often. Not to mention when he comes back, he sometimes is covered in bandages and bruises. Also, the entire family, which I might add is just the three of them, is fucking loaded. You been to their fucking mansion for crying out loud! That is fully equip with some of the top-notch staff I have ever seen!"
"Sasuke is rich and has staff, but you don't say anything about him being in the mafia." Yoko grumbled. "That's because Sasuke has dirty politic money. Although I wouldn't be surprised if a few of his family members dabbled in the "other" business." Yoko scoffed and glared death at me. "Listen to me though. Not to get me wrong, but unless Gaara's parent's where rich, they should not have that kind of money. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they have more money than all the Uchiha's combined. Also, a child usually cannot access the money from a parents death until they are eighteen. The oldest anyway. For some reason, Gaara and his siblings have complete access to said account. The way that Kankuro spends money is ridiculous! This fucker spends more in a week than what an average person makes a year!" I defended with a huff. "I'm just saying, Gaara being in the mafia seems realistic." "You're being way over dramatic." Yoko rolled her eyes. "I think you are letting your friendship blind you to the truth." I sang, poking her cheek. Yoko grunted and rolled her eyes.
"You are too much sometimes." She grumbled, swatting my hand away. "What do you mean b-" I started asked offendedly, but got cut off when someone wrapped their arms around my neck and shoulder, pulling me back against the bench. I saw a flash of spikey blonde hair and blue eyes. "Minori!" Naruto cheered happily as he rubbed his face against my head. "We missed you!" I smiled gently as I patted his arm. "I missed you guys too. School was definitely not as fun without you all." "Damn right it's not!" Someone laughed from behind us. I smiled and turned over my shoulder. A boy with brown hair shaggy brown hair dark eyes. He was wearing a tan blazer over a white shirt and tan khakis. The emblem of Konoha High was places on the breast pocket of the blazer. "Still in your uniform I see." Yoko snickered. "Totally Kiba. Forgets to change his clothes." "S-shut up!" Kiba's face changed to a slight pink color. I laughed as I continued to pat Naruto's arm. "Hn." An irritated voice snapped from in front of me. I turned my head and smiled up at the guy was towering over me while half-heartedly glaring. "Yes?" I asked innocently. The raven haired guy rolled his dark eyes. "If you don't talk I won't understand what you want, Sasuke." I chastised lightly, a smirk toughing at my lips. "Yeah, Teme!" Naruto exclaimed. "It's creepy for you to stand there and stare!" "Shut it dobe." Sasuke snapped. Then he extended his hand out to me. I smiled and tilt my head to the side in a confused manor. "Still don't understand what you are saying." I teased innocently. Sasuke glared harder. I thought for sure that I was going to have a third eye because of the heat of his gaze. "Minori." He hissed in irritation. I rolled my eyes, but took his hand anyway. With that, he pulled me to my feet and out of Naruto's grasp.
"Many what a drag." A tired voice yawned. I looked around Sasuke and saw a guy with a high spikey pony tail and tired brown eyes. "Hey Shika, how's it going?" I greeted, smiling. Shikamaru gave me a slight nod as he yawned again. I smiled gently as I looked over to Yoko, Naruto, and Kiba. Naruto and Yoko were teasing Kiba for still being in his school uniform. I laughed at their childish antics. "Aren't we suppose to see a movie?" Sasuke asked as his brow twitched slightly. I smiled and leaned against his arm. "Shit! You're right!" Kiba hastily pulled out his phone, nearly dropping it in the process. "We have about twenty minutes before it starts." He sighed in relief. "Yoko and I still need to get tickets." I laughed. Kiba just amuses me. His existence is funny, but not in a bad way. "No need to worry, we already got them." Naruto boasted, wrapping his arms around Yoko's shoulder. "Our treat." "You mean my treat." Sasuke grumbled. Yoko and I giggled. "Let's get a move on people!" Kiba ushered us towards the theater. "The movies are on the other side of the mall! If we wanna get good seats, then we better hurry up and get there!" "Lead the way dog boy." Yoko commanded in, what I call, her princess voice. "Bitch." Kiba growled, but walked towards the move anyway. "What a drag." Shikamaru complained as he walked past me and Sasuke. Naruto and Yoko followed after Shikamaru. They started complaining about the latest homework assignment they had to complete.
I smiled fondly as I watched them go. I was only away from them for a day and I already miss them like crazy. "Hm." I looked up at Sasuke and gave him a gently smile. "Ready?' I asked as I squeezed his hand lightly. Sasuke didn't say anything, but a small smirk appeared in his face. "COME ON LOVE BIRDS!" Naruto screamed back at us. I laughed as Sasuke glared at them in irritation. "Let's go." I pulled him along, as I tried to catch up with the others. "So, how was your day?" Sasuke asked after a minute. "It left an impression, that's for sure." I muttered as I looked off to the side. "That bad?" Sasuke asked. I signed and scratched the back of my head with my free hand. "Define bad…" I said with a fake laugh. "I mean I did kinda break this guys nose" Sasuke sighed. "BUT! I didn't get in trouble! The teacher gave zero fucks." I rushed to explained. Sasuke signed again and gave me a look. "What?" I asked defensively. "That's not "bad""? Sasuke asked with a slightly raised eyebrow. "It wasn't all like that…" I muttered as I looked off to the side.
"I mean overall it really wasn't that bad, just… different I guess." I hummed. "Don't get me wrong. I would come back to Konoha Prep in a heartbeat if I could. My new school is just… different. They run things completely different then what I was expecting. Like, did you know they only accept two transfer students a year? Crazy, right? I thought that this reform school would have a lot more people trickling in, but I guess not. The c- Units are also weird. Like they call classes Units, and like there are sophomores, juniors and seniors all mixed together in there. In my Unit at least. Other Units have freshman in there was well. It's so weird to have classes with them. Also, I don't get to change classrooms. At all. I am in the same seat all fucking day long. It's killer on my ass really. Not to mention, my one and only teacher is a fucking creep. I can't stand him." I sighed and looked down, defeated. Sasuke chuckled as my small rant. His thumb rubbing small circles into the hand that he was holding. "Sounds like hell." I giggled and looked up at him. "You have no idea." I smiled. "I really wish that I could transfer back."
"UKE-CHAN! STOP SEDUCING MY WIFE ALREADY! WE'RE HERE!" Yoko yelled as she magically appears in front of us. Her hands where places on her hips and she was glaring darkly at Sasuke. "Let's go!" She demanded before she grabbed my free hand and pulled me into the theater. I let go of Sasuke's hand as I was drug away. I looked over my shoulder and shot him a quick apologetic look as I was drugged away. Once inside, Yoko put me on the end and sat beside me. "There, all better." She chirped, handing a bag of popcorn. I rolled my eyes, but I was smiling at her spontaneous childishness. "Dork." I mumbled, throwing a piece of popcorn at her. "You love it." She teased as he ate the piece. Sasuke grunted at Yoko when he tried to get past us. Yoko stuck out her foot in an attempt to trip him, but Sasuke stepped right over her. "Dick." She grumbled as she stuffed a handful of popcorn in her mouth. I rolled my eyes as the opening credits start to play.
"That was awesome!" Naruto cheered. "Yeah it was!" Kiba barked out a laugh and gave Naruto a high-five. "It was a decent movie." I laughed. "Decent my ass." Shikamaru complained. "No one told me we were seeing a horror movie. I'm gonna have nightmare for a weak." He sighed as he rubbed he back of his neck. "I thought the plot was decent in this one." Yoko concluded. "I mean usually, all the stereotypes die, but not in this one." "True." I agreed. "I do think that it was obvious who the killer was though. I mean they put as little emphasis on them as possible, so it made sense that they did it." I added. "What? I totally thought the neighbor did it." Kiba confessed shyly. "That was the point. They wanted you to suspect him, that's why there was so much emphasis on his creepiness." Yoko explained. "Exactly, they wanted you to think that there was no way that the kind-caring boyfriend would ever be the killer." I continued. "They wanted a "devil in disguised" killer. It fucks with the audience more." "Yeah, it makes people more paranoid. I mean think of it. Everyone claims Gaara is a mobster, but what if he was actually trying to protect us from the psychotic dog-boy that everyone practically loves." Yoko said mischievously at Kiba. I rolled my eyes and Kiba shouted "Hey!". "I just joking." Yoko laughed "But, I am serious about the "disguised" thing. It does make living twenty times more paranoid. Constantly checking over your shoulder, locking the door every night, making sure you didn't lock someone in the house with you. Make sure you have a weapon near you for easy access, but not easy for the killer to get. You be careful who you let into your home." "Can we stop with all this killer talk." Naruto asked with a slight tremor in his voice. I smirked slightly as I patted his head. "Let's just get food." He added in a rush.
"I'm good with that." Yoko sang with a shrug. "Tengo Hambre." I muttered as I patted my stomach. "Food sounds good right now." Kiba agreed happily. "How you guys can eat after watching a gory more like that is beyond me." Shikamaru sighed. "It's food. I can always eat food." Yoko said in a serious voice. "Of course, you could." Shikamaru muttered. "Dorks." I snorted as I walked away. "Wait up!" Yoko called. She quickly caught up to me and hooked her arm with mine. "Wanna hit up our usual spot?" Yoko asked. "Barns & Noble?" I joked. "Yesssss." Yoko hissed excitedly. "I love their coffee. I should get some for Haru when I leave." Yoko clapped giddily. I rolled my eyes and snorted. "We just got out of school. I don't wanna go to some place with books." Naruto whined. "How about that pizza shop?" Shikamaru suggested. "Sounds good to me." I said with a yawn. "I'm down." Yoko shrugged. "Sweet! Pizza!" Naruto and Kiba cheered together. "Then it's decided. Let's go." Yoko sang. She pulled me along with her as she marched off towards our new destination. I looked over my shoulder at Sasuke and gave him a another quick apologetic look.
"So, Minny," Yoko began. "you would not believe this dream I had last night. It was epic." "Dude, tell me what happened." I genuinely enthused. Yoko smiled from ear to ear, then began to retell everything that she remembered. I listen intently and commented here and there during her story. Yoko finished her dream by the time we made it to the shop. "Did, that was fucked up." I snickered at her dream. "I know right! It could be like some Saw shit or something." She laughed. I laughed with her. "Hey Yoko," Naruto said as he suddenly wrapped one arm around her shoulder. "Help me and Kiba pick out the pizza, would ya?" He smiled brightly at her. "Sure thing." She agreed with a nod. "You guys get a table." Kiba gestured to Shikamaru, Sasuke and me. I nodded and made my way over. "Get a booth!" Kiba called after me. I waved him off.
I quickly made my way to the back of the little store and sat in the biggest, corner booth. "This good?" I asked as I slide in. "Seems fine." Sasuke said as slide in beside me. Shikamaru shrugged. "I have to use the bathroom." Shikamaru said before he turned on his heels and walked away. I blinked for a moment, then shrugged. I looked over at Sasuke and saw that he was scowling at Shikamaru as he was walking away. I blinked again. Did I miss something? "Hey, Sassy?" I poked his cheek. He flinched from the sudden poke, then shifted his scowl towards me. "You know I hate it when you call me that." He hissed as he pushed my hand away. "But you don't hate it as much as Uke-chan do you?" I asked innocently. Sasuke narrowed his eyes in response. I laughed and sat back against the cushioned bench. We sat there for a moment in silence. "So, Minori." Sasuke said kinda awkwardly. I looked at him. "Yeah?" I asked. "Do you think your new school will change you?" He asked. He had his stare fixed on the table. I blinked again. "What do you mean? Everyone changes, don't they?" Sasuke shook his head slightly. "That's not what I meant. I mean, are you gonna… you know…" He tries to say. I blinked again. "What?" I asked confused. Sasuke sighed angrily. "You know, become one of …them." He muttered darkly. I blinked again. Does he mean a delinquent? I already am one, as far as society is concerned anyway. Sasuke sighed and looked at me with a sad, but slightly irritated look. "No, I'm not talking about you being a delinquent." He sighed. I blinked. Shit, did I say that out loud? My face flushed slightly from embarrassment. "Are you going to become… one of them?" Sasuke hissed darkly.
I was a bit taken back by his tone, but I was more focused on trying to figure out what he was referring too. Them? Who?... Oh… Them. "No, I have intentions of becoming a gang member. I have better things to do them terrorize this city." I said gently as I reached out to grab Sasuke 's arm. Sasuke looked up at me and smiled. "Good, because I will beat your ass if you do." He taunted. "Bitch, you wish." I snorted. "I've been kicking your ass since we were five." Sasuke rolled his eyes, but he was smiling. "I let you win." "Lies." I hissed. Sasuke laughed as he grabbed my hand that was on his arm.
"What are you doing this weekend?" He asked as he removed my hand. "Same thing I do every weekend." I smiled. "Sleep." Sasuke snorted. I flashed him a bright smile. "You betcha." "How about we go do something?" He offered as his looked above me, his face turning slightly pink. "I don't know. I really like my sleep." I teased gently. Sasuke glared at the wall above me. "Really?" He asked kind of irritated. "Yup, but I'm up for napping in your bed though." I joked. "Your bed is like super comfy." "So, you are willing to hang out if we chill in my bed?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Yup! Beds are awesome." I giggled. Sasuke rolls his eyes. "Are you sure you don't wanna like see a movie or something?" Sasuke offered. "We can rent something from Redbox or watch Netflix as we chill in your bed." I smiled. Sasuke deadpan. "What about going to an amusement park? Or a zoo?" Sasuke offered. "Nope. I hate going into the public on the weekends. To many people." I said with a slightly scrunched up face. "Whatever. I'm fine with having you come over." He sighed in defeat. "Sweet." I laughed as I cross my arms. "I miss Tetsu's cooking anyway. Man, he's the best chef your family every had." I said fondly as I thought about all the delicious food that I had in the past. Sasuke chuckled in amusement.
"Well Testu's been a chef since before we were born." Sasuke smiled. "My point! It's some of the best food out there! If he was not in his fifties, I would totally marry that man." I sighed happily. Sasuke scowled slightly. "You would marry a guy, just because he's a good cook?" Sasuke asked. "Of course! Nothing is more attractive than a guy that can cook! Well a pretty stocked bank account is a close second." I laughed. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at me. "What?" I pouted. "You are weird." Sasuke poked my forehead. I stuck my tongue out at him. "You're such a child." Sasuke scoffed. "That's funny coming from the biggest child I know." I muttered. Well minus Tobi… That man-child is on a whole another level. "I have no idea what you are talking about." Sasuke feigned ignorance. "Liar." I sang and leaned against arm. He rolled his eyes, but he was smiling. I hummed softly and nestled my face against his shoulder.
"Sasuke!" A female voice exclaimed suddenly. Great… a fucking fangirl… I searched for the source and my face paled instantly when I saw who was coming over. A tall, slender girl with short pink hair was waving enthusiastically as she quickly made her way over to us. "What are the odds of running into you here?" She asked in a high pitched, annoying voice that made me wanna cry. "Hm." Sasuke responded as he purposely avoided looking at her. I quickly lowered my gaze and pulled away from Sasuke. I could feel Sasuke looking at me, but I didn't have the strength to look up at him. "Did you miss me today?" Sakura purred seductively. She leaned over the table to where her face was right in front of Sasuke's. Her boobs, practically falling out of her shirt. Probably because of a push up bra. This bitch barely has anything in that department. Sasuke did not react to her. He just sat there and stared hard at the table. "Not even a little bit? I bet you got so lonely without good company around." Sakura cooed. Sasuke held strong and refused to even acknowledge Sakura's existence. Must be that iron will that all Uchiha have… Sakura pouted, then stood up. She stood there and pouted at him, while he ignored her. We stayed like this for a few moments, personally I was to fucking terrified to even flinch. After a while, I saw Yoko and the guys peaking around the corner at us. They were watching very intently. Yoko was more or less glaring at Sakura. I could see that Naruto had a grip on her shoulder, probably to try to prevent her from doing something really stupid. I smile to myself. That dork is horrible at keeping her anger in check. I'm not one to talk though…
"Oh," Sakura suddenly spat. I flinched and quickly looked down again. I started to feel myself hunch and slide down in my seat slightly. "Sorry Minori, I didn't see you there." She said snarkily. "I guess you just blend into the back ground too much." I involuntarily flinched as the image I was trying so hard to push away flashed in my mind again. I shook my head and tightly squeezed my hands into fists. "What, not even going to greet me?" Sakura said in a mock hurt tone. Piss off. My jaw tensed slightly as a different image flashed through my mind. I flinched slightly as it came and went. "What are you jumping at?" Sakura huffed. "I swear, you are such a fucking weirdo." Rather be a weirdo than a bitch. "I don't see why someone as amazing as Sasuke would hang out with some nobody like you." Sakura sneered.
My teeth smashed together. I glared up at Sakura, ready to fucking put this bitch in her place, when the memory I have been forcing out of my mind reappeared. This time, I was not able to stop the image that plagued my mind. A small dark room. Surrounded by coats and shoes. The solid oak door that I knew was locked from the other side. I froze as the image burned vividly in my mind. I gulped as I clasp my hands tightly together, trying to force myself back into the present. "You know, I do have to thank you." She said in a sickly sweet voice that sounded distant. "Since you took out that ugly red hair bitch, that's one less girl that comes between me and my Sasuke." My teeth clenched together as my anger started to rise. I could feel my anger boil into my blood as I was ripped from the image and was finally in the present.
Before I could process what was happening, I was standing up and glaring at Sakura. "You act like you have a shot sweetie, but we all know that you are the last person will ever date. Face it! Yoko has a better chance of getting with Sasuke, and they hate each other." My voice snapped. What are you saying?! Shut up! Sakura crossed her arms, and clenched her jaw, her eyes narrowing. I'm fucking screwed… "Your just je-" Sakura began, but she as interrupted by Sasuke saying. "Don't waste your time with her Minori. She's not worth it." Sakura head whipped towards Sasuke. Her eyes reflecting hurt and betrayal. A small part of me thought that it was funny. The majority of me wanted to run and hide somewhere.
"Sasuke!" Sakura whined, dramatically slamming her hands on the table. I felt my eyes roll and my voice scoff. Sakura shot a quick glare in my direction, before she turned back to Sasuke and gave him big, sad, puppy eyes. "Don't you mean Minori not worth it. I mean look at what she did to Karin! She's still in the hospital! Minori is a danger to you! It's a good thing that monster got transferred to another school! I would be better if she was locked up somewhere!" I sucked my teeth and looked away. I wanted to jump in and defend myself, but everything she was saying I agreed with on some subconscious level. "The only dangerous one here is Yoko." Sasuke said monotoniously. Sakura scoffed and rolled her eyes. "As if that pint-sized bitch can do anything." I could hear a muffled cry somewhere behind me. "She should have been sent away with this bitch." Sakura stabbed a finger towards me "Her weird creepy ass boyfriend should go with her." There was a loud crash behind us. Sakura did not even flinch at the commotion behind her. Which means, this bitch knows that Yoko is here somewhere. "It's such a shame that Sasuke is forced to hang out with suck low lives!" Sakura sighed melodramatically, raising a hand to her forehead. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Just leave. You are making a scene." Sasuke commanded. His entire face just screamed irritation. "What? Why me?" Sakura whined as she stomped her foot like a child. "Because you are annoying." Sasuke spat. I smiled as Sakura's face dropped. "How could you say that after everything we been through?!" Sakura complained as she places a hand over her heart. "We have been through nothing. Now go away or I am getting a restraining order." Sasuke threatens darkly. Sakura whines as her gaze drops to the floor. She stood there for a moment, sulking. I rolled my eyes and moved to sit back down. "I don't understand why you wanna hang out with this liar." Sakura moped. I froze, mid crouch. This bitch… "I mean she just lies all the time! She even lied about her poor parents!" Sakura tried to reason. My face flushed a dark shade of red. Images came flashing through my head. A tree, presents, dark closet, angry people, pieces of glass shattered, flashing lights, cars, blood… blood everywhere. I felt my teeth smash together in a tight, head rattling clench. I looked down and quickly made my way past Sakura.
Once I was past her, I broke out into a full-blown sprint. There were many shouts from behind me as I quickly escaped. Some of them were my name, but my body ignored their calls as I ran. As I retreated, my mind could only focus on one thing. Blood. Blood. .BloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBlood. BloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBlood BloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBloodBlood BloodBloodBloodBloodBloo- I slammed into something and fell backwards on my ass. "Whoa there." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up and saw Tobi sitting on the floor in front of me. I guess I knocked him over. "Minori!" Tobi cheered happily, jumping to his feet. I just looked down at the tiled floor. Of all the fucking people I could run into, it had to be the fuck man-child. That's just what I need. "Minori?" Tobi asked as he made his way over to me. I didn't respond as he moved towards me. My body felt too heavy to move, and every time I wanted to talk, to tell him to piss off, my voice would die out before I could even form the words. This is beyond frustrating.
Tobi crouched down in front of me. He didn't say anything, he only observed me. I sat there and looked at the floor. I did not have the energy to do anything. I just wanted to disappear at that moment. We stayed like that for what seemed like eternity, but was probably only a few minutes. There were people staring at us as they walked by. Some even had the nerve to actually stop and gawk at us. "Minori." Tobi called in a gentle, soothing voice, soon followed by a hand gently touching my head. "It's okay. Tobi's here." He started to rub my head gently. Fucker. Don't fucking patronize me! I opened my mouth into to insult Tobi for his kindness, but the words never came. I clamped my jaw shut. "Don't cry Minori!" Tobi panicked slightly. Crying? Who the fuck is crying? Not m- A tear dripped off my chin. … fuck… Soon the tears start to stream from my eyes faster. Tobi starts to panic. It's obvious by the way he is rapidly running his hands threw his hair that he had no fucking clue what to do. Not like I do either.
"I-i-it's okay! Tobi will make Minori smile again!" Tobi rushed frantically. I inwardly sighed and looked away again. "Um, um." Tobi stammered as she tried to think. "I know!" He exclaimed, jumping to his feet while pointing at the ceiling. Even more people were staring now. Great… The demon is definitely going to know about this… "Why don't we get ice-cream?! Ice-cream always make Tobi happy when he's sad." Tobi yammered on happily. I didn't respond to him. I was too tired to. "Yeah! Let's go Minori!" Tobi grabbed my hands and roughly pulled me to my feet. My legs gave out almost instantly. "Does Minori wanna piggy-back ride?" Tobi asked in a childish voice. Oh god please don't. Somehow, Tobi took my silence as a yes and maneuvered me onto his back without my help. I could die of embarrassment any second now. "Onward to ice-cream!" Tobi declared loudly. I mustered up enough strength to wrap my arms around Tobi's shoulders and bury my face into his neck as Tobi skipped through the mall to the ice-cream shop.
