Chapter 9: Sleepwalking and Graves
!2:00 a.m-midnight
Yumi's P. O. V
I was walking down the hallway, but I was still sleeping.
" What's going on?!" I thought. I was crossing the lounge, towards the boys' hallway.
Usagi's P. O. V
" I wonder who's out there." I thought. I had heard a door opening and closing, and then footsteps that were getting fainter and fainter.
I sighed," I guess I'll go see what's going on ." I thought as I climbed off my black bed.
Yumi's P. O. V
I was standing in front of one of the guys dorm room. Everything I've been doing has been involuntary . Now I was knocking on the door. I could hear someone moving around inside. Who was it? What was I doing?
Usagi's P. O. V
I heard knocking , but it was from across the hall. My "cat-eyes", as everyone called them, could see someone across the room. The person had long, dark hair, and there was something wrapped around their head.
"Yumi!" I whispered to myself. Before I could do anything, light flooded out into the hallway, and she collapsed in the doorway.
Gaara'a P. O. V
I open the door and Yumi collapses right in the doorway!
"What the H was she doing?! Sasuke said she was supposed to stay in bed."
regular view
Gaara went back into the room to get Sasuke; he knew where her room was. He quietly walked into his room and over to his bed.
"Sasuke! Wake up!" he hissed.
"Mmmm...Five more minutes." he said sleepily.
"Sasuke! Yumi needs your help."
"What?! Where is she?!" he asked as he climbed out of bed.
"She's at the door." Gaara replied emotionless. Sasuke hurried out of the room.
hallway
"Yumi!"Sasuke cried out, quietly.
"Mmmm." she groaned .
" What the H was she doing?!" Sasuke thought," Oro?" (Huh?)
Yumi was getting up, but her eyes were closed," Kimara." she mumbled as she started walking towards the lounge.
"Where are you going, Yumi?"
"What's she doing?" Gaara asked.
"I think she's sleep-walking." Sasuke guessed.
"You better follow her to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble."
"Hai. Ja ne." (Yeah. See ya)
following Yumi w/ Usagi following them
" Where is she going?!: Sasuke thought as he followed Yumi past the classrooms.
Usagi's P. O. V
" Wait! Why am I following them? Oh yeah. ' Cuz I was bored." I thought. But how could I pass up an opportunity to get them in trouble?
regular P. O. V
By now they had followed Yumi outside.
It was a perfect night. The sky was a cloudless, navy-blue space. Stars littered the sky like fireflies drawn to a light. The moon was full and illuminated the earth in a blanket of pale yellow light.
Sasuke was following Yumi , with difficulty I might add. And Usagi was following both of them easily, thanks to her cat eyes.
" Where did she go?!" Sasuke thought as Yumi disappeared into the shadows once again.
"I know where she went"he heard. Sasuke jumped and slowly turned around to find...Usagi...laughing! "You have no idea how high you jumped! I wouldn't be surprised if you P your pants!." she forced out.
"Ha ha. Very funny." Sasuke said sarcastically," Now where did she go?!"
"Only if you keep it a secret."
"Why?"
Usagi's voice dropped to a whisper and she became serious," 'Cuz it's where she always sleepwalks at full moon," she paused for a second,"It's a hidden place where her family is buried."
(Dun-Dun-Duuuuunnnn!...Sorry! Just wanted the dramatic music to a dramatic scene. Continue.)
Sasuke was at a loss for words.
"Close your mouth and let's go." Usagi said as she passed him. Usagi walked forward through a clump of bushes and disappeared. Sasuke quickly followed and soon found himself inside a cave. Green things hung from the ceiling and were giving off a faint glow. Rocks jutted up from the ground and others hung down. Somewhere, nearby, Sasuke head running water.
He took a few more steps and found himself before an amazing sight.
To the right was a magnificent, thundering waterfall that flowed into a river. Grass covered the ground like a dark, green blanket. Scattered everywhere were full-bloomed Sakura trees; the flowers closed for a night's sleep. Crickets chirped slowly from different places. All around were steep walls of rock that jutted up into the sky. Above, the moon shined brightly.
"What is this place?!" Sasuke thought out loud.
"A place you're not supposed to be at." someone growled.
"Uh-oh." Usagi said slowly. Her and Sasuke turned around to see Yumi. She looked the same only her eyes were different. Instead of being white, they were blood-red with three tadpole dots in a circle.
"What did you do to my sisters?!" she snapped.
"What is she talking about?"Usagi asked.
"She's probably still sleepwalking. She sees us as the person that killed them." Sasuke said." Yumi! Wake up! It's us!" Sasuke shouted.
"You thought you would get away with it, didn't you?!" she asked as she took a step forward. As she did, Usagi and Sasuke stepped back.
"Yumi! Wake up!" Usagi tried.
"You thought you could get away with killing Kimara, Hikari, and Kiyoko, huh?"
"We need to wake her up before something bad happens." Sasuke said.
"No s Sherlock." Usagi snapped.
"Wait...I have an idea."Sasuke said," I just need you to get her near the water."
"Alright. What are you going to do?"
"Just get her near the water." Sasuke hissed as he lower himself into the river. It was surprisingly warm for this time of year.
"You killed all of them for your own entertainment, didn't you?" Yumi continued to ask as she walked forward.
"Uh...Yeah! I did. You got a problem with that?" Usagi said, improvising.
Yumi growled but said nothing. She took a couple steps forward so that she was a couple feet away from the water.
" Now's my chance." Sasuke thought as he looked past the surface of the water. He cupped his hands, palms up and out, and forced a handful of water up.
SPLASH!!
"Ah!" Yumi quickly screamed. She was now awake, but with a consequence. She had tripped over her feet and was falling over the bank.
SPLASH!!
"You idiot! Go F ing get her!" Usagi yelled.
"I'm going! I'm going!"Sasuke dived in after her. He opened his eyes, quickly looking around for Yumi. He spotted her near the bottom, but...
"Why isn't she trying to swim up? Duh! She's unconscious again ."Sasuke thought as he swam down towards her. He wrapped his arm around her waist and started swimming up.
at the top
Usagi was waiting impatiently; swearing on and off," That A hole's going to F ing pay! So stupid! His F ing plan F ing backfired and now Yumi's F ing drowning!" She stopped all of a sudden when she saw Sasuke resurface. " What took you so F ing long?!" she yelled.
"Will you just help me?!" He tried to lift Yumi onto the bank but her wet clothes weighed her down.
"Fine. I'll help." Usagi sighed. She went over to the bank, grabbed Yumi's arms, and hauled her onto the grass," Why isn't she breathing?!" she asked.
"She took in too much. Her lungs are filled with water." Sasuke answered calmly.
"Oh my god! What are we going to do?! What are we going to do?!" she panted frantically.
"Calm down! I know exactly what to do."
"Then do it! Before she dies!"
skipping. 5 minutes later
"Yumi! You're alive!"Usagi squealed as she squeezed her into a hug.
"Mmm. That hurts Usagi." she moaned.
"Are you alright?" Sasuke asked.
"Y-yeah. B-but how am I-I still alive?"
"Sasuke kissed you!" Usagi squealed again as she started laughing hysterically.
"I did not kiss her." he growled.
"Then explain what it's called when a boy's and girl's lips meet."
"It's called CPR!"he yelled.
"Sure it is." Usagi teased.
"Really. I-it is Usagi. If he hadn't done it, then I wouldn't be alive."
"Sure. Whatever." she said, still teasing.
"We should start heading back." Sasuke said.
"Y-you guys go ahead. T-there's something I need to do first." Yumi insisted.
"Are you sure?" Sasuke asked.
"W-why are you w-worried about me? I'll b-be fine. Just go."
"Let's go Sasuke." Usagi called from the cave. He hurried up to her but stopped.
Sasuke's P. O. V
"What are you doing?" she asked me," Let's go."
"No. I'm going to stay and find out what Yumi's doing." I explained to her.
"Fine. But you better not do anything to her or I'll hurt you." she threatened.
"Sure." I said as I walked out of the cave and into the shadows.
Yumi's P. O. V
I knew that someone was following me, but the feeling to visit them overpowered me. I walked over to the other side of the circle and into a thick circle of Sakura trees. Inside was a clearing, but it was filled with headstones.
regular P. O. V
Each headstone had a different first name, but they each had two similarities: the last name Saito and the yin-yang symbol below the name; the clan symbol. A different flower bloomed at each stone, but where a couple lay; a flower bloomed in between.
"If only I was earlier...I could've saved you." Yumi whispered sadly. Tears started forming in her eyes but she didn't care. She closed her eyes, dropped to her knees, and bowed her head.
"Dear God and Jesus," she prayed," Please. I need your help. Ever since Sasuke came things have changed. Please protect me so I don't get hurt...like last time...Amen" By now, she was crying. "Wh-what do you want Sasuke?" she asked shakily.
"How did you know it was me?" he asked, confused and surprised.
"Just a feeling." She sighed.
"A penny for your thoughts?" he asked as he came and kneeled next to her.
"No thoughts. Just memories." she answered quietly.
"Oh...Would you like to tell me?"
"I-I don't know."
"I understand."
"Well...you already know t-the basics of what happened. I-I guess there's n-no harm in t-telling you."
"I'm listening."
"W-well...do you really want to know t-the details?"
"It's up to you."Sasuke answered.
"I-I guess you can know." Yumi said quietly.
