Authors Notes: Thanks to everyone who read/reviewed/favorite-ed/alerted/supported this story! I never knew a dream I had would be a story that people liked! I'll also try to update Paper Flowers soon, for those who read that story and this one! :D Review please! It really encourages me to not procrastinate! Uh... Itachi! Do the disclaimer!
Itachi: But! I'm not even in this story, much less alive!
Me: ... Just do it Uchiha.
Itachi: Fine. Flicker doesn't own the Naruto characters or logo. She owns Lily and Rose, since they are based off her and her friend.
Me: Arigato Itachi-kun! hands cookie
Itachi: A cookie? That's all the thanks I get? I'm such a deprived person.
I woke up, almost not remembering that I was sharing a bed with Sasori because of Pein's evil ideas. Almost. I took note of my surroundings. There was something warm behind me, probably Sasori still sleeping. I glanced over to Rose. She looked miserable. Especially since Deidara moved in his sleep and his hand was unconsciously tracing circles on Rose's bare stomach. Rose's pajama shirt stopped in the middle of her stomach, so it was possible to see the lower half of her stomach before her pajama pants started. And Rose was awake. And looking very uncomfortable. I suppressed a giggle. Rose was about to give me the finger when she froze. Then I saw why. Deidara's palm hand licked her. At this I couldn't hold back laughter. I let out a giggle, then covered my mouth so I wouldn't wake up anyone else. Rose growled something I couldn't understand and moved her leg. I recognized what she was doing. Poor Deidara... Rose proceeded to kick him where the sun don't shine. Needless to say, it worked. Deidara screamed in pain and doubled over.
"What... the... fuck... was... that... for?" Deidara manged to get out. Rose was smoldering.
"That's what you get for molestering me you pervert!" she growled. Deidara cringed and managed to hobble to the showers. I snickered. Rose glared at me.
"Do not speak a word of this to anyone understand?" she muttered. I nodded and also got up. Well... I tried. But I could barely move.
"The hell?" I muttered, looking for some sort of binding that kept me to the bed. There was none. Rose was grinning like an idiot.
"What the hell did you do Rose?" I muttered. She grinned and shook her head.
"I didn't do it... Look behind you..." she said. I turned my head behind me. My eyes first caught two arms, holding me down. Damn. Then I caught a glimpse of red hair. Shit. Ok... That explained why I could move my arms, but I had no idea why I couldn't move my legs. I closed my eyes and hoped against hope that it wasn't that. I cautiously moved my legs. Something tightened a moment later and I knew it was bad. Fuck. Sasori was so going to pay. Badly. But I had to focus on the problem on hand right now. I would kick him awake, but I couldn't move. Damn. That pretty much left me out of options. I looked to Rose for help, but she just grinned and skipped off to the showers.
"That's what you get for not helping me!" she called back. Ok... I deserved that. But this? No. What did I do?
"What God did you piss off?" I heard Pein say.
"Shut.Up.And.Help.Me," I muttered. I heard him laugh.
"Not with that attitude," Pein said, starting to walk to the shower. Damn... I had to think, fast. I had to use that face! I sniffled to catch his attention.
"P...Please Pein-sama! -sniffle- Can't you help me?" I asked giving him the puppy eyes. I felt him hesitate. Yes. It was working. I mentally grinned.
"Well... Just this once. Don't expect me to ever help you again!" he said. I grinned.
"Thank you Pein-sama!" I kept up the innocent act. Pein lifted a small metal box and my eyes widened. Crap... He was going to throw that... And he would probably hit me.
"DON'T HIT ME!" I screeched, attempting to shield my head. Suddenly my arms were freed and I covered my head. But the box never came. I looked through my arms. Pein was laughing. My hand tightened into fists. But I was free. I muttered something and stomped off to the showers, blushing violently.
"What's her problem?" I heard Sasori ask. Oh he was going to pay. And today was dodge ball. Err... I mean Unless-you-want-to-get-hurt-dodge-the-balls dodge ball as Anko told us at dinner yesterday. It was like regular dodge ball, but when you got hit, Anko, Kakashi, and Pein get to pelt you with balls. And they had good aim... Anko demonstrated on Jiriaya last night at dinner. It was not pretty... It was girls against boys and the girls were meeting after breakfast to plan a game plan. I smirked and knew the girls were going to win. Rose could dodge really fast balls and I could throw really fast balls and dodge a lot of them. Sakura looked like she could throw pretty well, as did Tenten. Hinata looked like a good dodger and Ino was full of surprises. We only had to watch out for Naruto, he could throw really fast, Neji, who looked like he could dodge a lot of balls, and Sai, who didn't let any of his ability's slip. The girls were outnumbered, but we could take them on!
I finished my shower and changed quickly. Deidara still wasn't out of the shower. I glanced at Rose.
"How long does it take to shower?" she muttered. I shrugged. A moment later Sasori and Pein came out, already fully dressed. We sat and waited for Deidara. About five minutes later, Deidara came out, fully dressed too.
"Jeez... We have a water shortage here..." I muttered. He glared at me.
"Do you know how hard it is to wash all this hair?" he asked. I rolled me eyes.
"News flash, I have long hair too," I muttered, pointing to my hair which was down to the middle of my back. He grumbled something and we went off to breakfast. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife. All the girls were on one side of the room and the boys on the other. Anko was smiling from her place at the front of the mess hall. I shrugged and after I got my food I went to sit with the girls, Rose following me. Sasori and Deidara went to the boys side.
"Ok... Good, we're all here, time to plan," Sakura said. I nodded, taking a drink from my orange juice.
"I'll take on Naruto and Sai, Ino will take on Shikamaru and Choji, Hinata will take on Shino and Kiba, Tenten will take on Neji and Lee, so that leaves Deidara and Sasori," Sakura said.
"I'll take Sasori, I need revenge on him..." I said, grinning evilly. The rest, besides Rose, looked at me weirdly.
"I'll take Deidara... He'll be easy," Rose laughed. The rest of us nodded.
"Oh, and try not to get hit... Anko and Pein throw really hard. Kakashi doesn't care," Sakura said. The rest of us nodded. Anko clapped her hands to get our attention.
"Ok. Today is Unless-you-want-to-get-hurt-dodge-the-balls dodge ball! Girls against boys. Since there aren't as many girls, they start with the balls, got it? Good," Anko said. We all filed outside to where Shizune had marked the area where we would be playing in. I grabbed one of the balls, following Sakura and Tenten's lead.
"Ready... Go!" Anko said, and the game started.
Tenten got Lee right away and Lee got pelted with balls. Tenten smirked as Lee went to Jiraiya for ice packs. Sakura pegged Naruto in the head and he got pelted with more balls from Anko, Pein, and Kakashi. I aimed for Sasori, but he dodged and it hit Choji instead. Oh well... At least I hit someone... Ino flashed a smile that seemed to say 'good, now I only have the sleeping idiot to peg. Soon the boys found all three balls. Sai threw his ball at Sakura, but she dodged. Kiba threw his ball at Ino, but Ino caught the ball, and Kiba was out. Hinata flashed a 'thank goodness' smile. But that was only two balls. My eyes widened.
"Rose, duck now!" I shouted to her. Shrugging, Rose dropped to the ground. An instant later a ball flew right where her shoulder would have been. Deidara cursed.
"Thanks..." she said, retrieving the ball. Ino grinned and lobbed the ball at Shikamaru, who was sleeping. Of course it hit him, so he got pegged with more balls. Ino did a victory dance. Sakura aimed for Sai's feet and Sai dodged. Rose threw the ball at Deidara, who caught it.
"Damn it!" Rose cursed, then shielded her head as balls started to peg her. She left the game. Deidara grinned and threw the ball at me. I dodged. While Ino was doing her victory dance, Shino hit her. It was down to Hinata, Sakura, Tenten, Neji, Deidara, Shino, Sasori, and me. Shino threw her ball at Hinata, who didn't get out of the way fast enough. I picked up the ball and threw it at Shino, who didn't see it coming. I smirked. Neji threw his ball at Sakura, who attempted to catch, but dropped it. Tenten growled something and lobbed the ball at Neji. It hit, and Neji glared. Tenten smirked and dodged a ball from Sasori. I dodged one from Deidara. We now had all the balls. Tenten threw one at Sasori, who dodged, then threw the second ball at Deidara, who got hit. But Sasori pegged her a moment after that.
"Good luck..." she whispered. I nodded. I glared at Sasori.
"I bet that Sasori's gonna win!" Naruto shouted. Tsundae snorted.
"Are you kidding me? Lily's totally going to win!" she said. The girls groaned. I heard about Tsundae's bad luck streak from Sakura. Great... Just perfect... Sasori smirked at my expression.
"Why don't we make a little bet of our own?" he asked. I snorted.
"What are we betting?" I said, narrowing my eyes. He smirked again.
"If you win... I'll let you have the whole bed for the rest of the month," he said. Not too bad...
"What if you win?" I asked. His smirked turned to a grin. An evil grin.
"If I win, then..." he paused, thinking something over. I tapped my foot in annoyance. I hated to wait.
"You have to do whatever I say for the next week," he said. I thought about the offer. I was sure I could win this... A whole bed for a month... Whatever he says for a week... If I lose, it's only a week right?
"Deal," I said. He smirked and I threw the ball I was holding at him. He dodged. He picked up a ball and aimed for my chest. And used another ball to aim at my feet. He threw those two and a moment later threw another ball in the middle of those two. I planned to dodge to the side, but those balls were coming fast. Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap... So I did the only thing that a girl could do in those times, and dove right in the middle of the balls, then proceeded to drop right as the third ball came by.
"Ow..." I muttered, rubbing my stomach and chest. Ino broke into cheers. I grabbed one of the balls and threw it low. Sasori dodged it with ease, but then I threw a ball much higher at his chest. He dodged that too. I threw my last ball at his shoulder, yet again he dodged it. Damn he was good. He got the balls and threw them one after another. I dodged the first and the second. But where was the third? I looked around. Then I felt the third. He delayed it a second after the second ball, and it hit me right on. Damn it! Those balls were hard. Then I realized what was next.
"Ahh!" I shouted as more balls pegged me. I could feel Pein smirking as he threw balls at me. Damn him... And Anko and Kakashi too... And damn Sasori that little manipulative bastard! I trudged over to Jiraiya to get ice packs.
"Ah! Hello little lady! I assume you want these ice packs?" Jiraiya said. That gleam in his eyes... God damn it. Oh great... Now his eyes were eating up my body like candy. I was pissed right now.
"Stop effing looking at me like that you damn pervert," I growled, grabbing multiple ice packs. For good measure, and because he still wouldn't stop looking at me like that, I punched him in the face. Naruto cheered. I put an icepack on a sore spot and sighed. I felt a headache coming along. Tsundae was cursing because she lost her bet. Naruto was cheering. Ino and Deidara were arguing again. Ugg... And Sasori was probably smirking in victory now. I remembered I had tylonol in my bad. I got up and ran to the cabin. I rummaged around in my bad and cheered when I found the container of tylonol. I popped two in my mouth and took a drink from a spare water bottle. I sighed in relief. The tylonol was already starting to work. Or maybe it was because I was away from all the noise. Probably a little of both. I heard the door open and close. Hopefully it was just Rose... Nope... Rose never walked this quietly. In fact, she was rarely ever completely silent.
"Don't forget our bet Lily..." I heard Sasori say. I groaned. I had forgotten about it. I collapsed on the bed. A whole week of practically being Sasori's slave. Damn I had gotten myself in deep this time... I heard him laugh, a sound I never heard before. I lifted my head to find him at the side of the bed. Close. Much to close. I instinctively inched away. He sighed and grabbed my arms and pulled me back.
"I'm not a very patient person," he muttered. I tried to scoot away but he would just keep pulling me back. Damn... There had to be a way out of this.
"When does the week start?" I asked, almost afraid of what the answer was. I was afraid? That's messed up... I'm never afraid. Sasori smirked.
"Right now,"
Authors Notes: ooo!! Cliffhanger!! What will Sasori do to Lily? Why did Sasori make the bet? Why am I asking so many questions? Stay tuned till next time!
