Authors notes:Hello! New chapter! Joyness! Anyways, I really do hope you guys like this story so far. - It's one of the funner stories to write that I have, and I adore this pairing. Need more JiraOro... Anyways, I love reviews. They make me happy. :) Can't think of anything else to type. lol.
Sleep. I hate sleep. Well more like I hate the things I dream about when I go to sleep recently.
My nights have been plagued by disturbing dreams involving myself doing 'things' with a certain golden eyed bastard. Yeah, things. Like stuff I would normally only do with women. I can still feel the bastards ice cold lips against mine when I wake up to! Like I really wasn't dreaming at all. It's so fucking weird! But that's really not what disturbs me about them, well at least not the main thing anyways...
I enjoy them. Yeah. I actually like the fucking dreams. That's the only reason I haven't started calling them nightmares yet. This shit has been going on for a week too! Ever since the first day of school from hell!
It doesn't really help that we've ended up spending even more time together. He sits at our table in lunch now and he won't leave me the fuck alone in the other classes we have together. I don't know if he's just a sadist, or if he's stalking me, or what... I also hate to admit that I kind of like hanging out with him... Just because he's the only guy around here I can tolerate. Yeah. That's totally it.
I was determined to stay up tonight. No going to sleep. None. I didn't even care at this point if I would look like a zombie in the morning I was just sick of those dreams!
The only problem with that plan is that I was dead tired from running laps in gym and I sleep like a log. I was out cold as soon as my head hit the pillow. Then the dreams started...
I didn't recognize the room we were in at all but I wasn't paying much mind to it anyways, and it really didn't matter. I was laying down on a rather large bed with silk sheets and the room was dim, lit only with a few scattered candles. I was basically cradling Orochimarus' somewhat smaller frame in my arms, our faces so close our noses were touching. His bright gold eyes seemed to shine and a shiver went up my spine as he ran a hand down my back. Soon our lips were pressed together in a passionate kiss, and...
The next thing I knew was I was awake and there were people screaming. I could faintly hear the thunder of people's footsteps as they ran down the hall. What? Was it morning already? Were they serving something different for breakfast or something? Did a movie star visit the school? What the hell was going on?
I was vaguely aware of the weird and unusual sounds around me picking up in volume as someone opened my door and shook my shoulder harshly, saying something I couldn't make out to well...
Then it hit me like a rock. It smelt like smoke. There was a weird, orange light coming from the hallway. People were running. Fire.
I was still half asleep, which probably explains why I didn't instantly start freaking out. It also explains why I didn't have a heart attack when Orochimaru pretty much dragged me out of my room , down the stairs, and out of the building.
By the time I woke up fully I was outside standing next to Orochimaru, watching as fire-fighters tried desperately to put out the fire that had somehow engulfed the top floor and half of the floor my room was on. It was kinda trippy, and didn't feel real at all. Kinda like I was still dreaming. What other explanation was there for Orochimaru of all people coming into my room and making sure I got out?
The only reason I knew it was real is because I had apparently inhaled a bit of smoke and was coughing my lungs out which hurt pretty bad... Well, that and Orochimaru still had a death grip on my arm. He was holding on way too tight for it to be comfortable.
My brain was still moving pretty slowly, and I wasn't processing that it was weird that Orochimaru was holding my arm tight enough to cut off blood flow. All I could focus on was the sight of dancing red, orange, and yellow flames, and the white water flying through the air trying to put them out.
Well... That and the pale boy next to me. The light that was coming from the fire just lit up his golden eyes in a way I found almost hypnotizing... Damn my stupid, stupid brain.
After a few minutes Orochimaru had relaxed his grip on my arm a bit and the fire was almost completely gone. I was also starting to process things in a normal way. I snapped my head in the direction of the fire, pulling my eyes away from Orochimaru who I should not be thinking of in that way, and couldn't help but wonder. Why had the dorm building caught fire?
When I heard the principle yelling at some random kid I got my answer. Who would have though some quiet nerd would be up at midnight smoking pot? Weird...
The a normal question hit me and I ended up asking out loud,"Where the hell are we supposed to sleep?" Maybe I would get to go home. Yes!
Orochimaru didn't seem to notice that it was a rhetorical question and answered flatly,"There was a fire in the dorms when the school was first built. They simply moved the students without rooms in with other students who hadn't been effected by the fire." Shit. I just couldn't get a freaking break could I?
That night we ended up spending the night outside while the fire-fighters inspected the building. Even though they had put the fire out they still couldn't judge whether it was safe or not. Most people stayed up. I ended up face down in the grass, snoring 'loud enough to wake the dead' as my mom had always so lovingly put it when I had lived at home.
The next morning I nearly gave myself a heart attack. I had been having a nightmare about killer rabbits, something normal for a change, and I freaked out when I realized I wasn't in my bed but sleeping in grass.
I jumped up looking around frantically, expecting an attack of flesh eating rodents. All I saw was a rather confused looking Madara. I realized I had been dreaming and just kind of half waved at Madara,"Umm... Good morning." He was still looking at me like I was crazy for a moment before his expression changed and he started chuckling and said happily,"Good morning to you too, Jiraiya!"
I then started to look around again. I noticed that everyone was gone. Had everyone been taken home?
Madara grabbed my arm and started pulling me in the direction of the gym,"Everyone's in the auditorium. We're gonna find out what's gonna happen with everyone, and stuff like that."
I let him drag me along and soon we were sitting in the bleachers of the gym, waiting for something to happen. It was kind of weird because everyone was still in whatever they wore to sleep which consisted of mostly boxers or pants. It was kinda awkward...
Sarutobi walked out in front of everyone and started talking,"As you all know the fire burnt a pretty decent part of the dorms. The fire department deemed that the building was still safe to stay in, though, because of the solid brick foundation, and the type of walls and floors the building was made from."
I just nodded, kind of upset. I had thought I might get to go home. Looks like that wasn't going to happen...
Sarutobi continued to talk about some random thing I really didn't care about at all. I had started to fall asleep when something he mentioned caught my attention. "So, while the dorms that were damaged in the fire are worked on, the students without a place to stay will have to move in with another student. I've already assigned everyone a room-mate. The list of everyone is already up on the main door to the dorms. You can go now... And remember, School is being postponed for the next week so that we can figure out this mess!", Our principal said, walking away when he was done.
I can't believe how horrible my luck is. I had to share a room with someone! Seriously, what did I do to deserve this!
I ran out, along with everyone else, to go and see who I was doomed to suffer with for however long it took to fix everything. Thankfully I was one of the faster people in the school and got there fast enough to see what the damned list from hell said.
I started scanning for my name and after a few minutes found it...
Oh no... Oh hell no! Dear god why?!
"Well, well now... It seems we'll be sharing a room for a while, Jiraiya,"said the all too familiar, hiss like voice next to me. His hand was on my shoulder and it was fucking freezing.
Even so I was pretty sure the shiver that ran up my spine would have shown up even if Orochimarus' ice cold hand wasn't resting my my skin.
