Tara's POV:
I don't know what came over me, I couldn't sleep or get comfortable, so I started pacing. But my body couldn't support my weight so I had slipped down from leaning against the wall to being on the floor sobbing quietly into a pillow. Satan gave me a worried look and sat comforting me with his presence. I was worried about tomorrow, I really should be resting, but I just couldn't, because the realization just hit me. I may never see my mom or Luka, my friends, I wouldn't graduate and go to collage, I would just be here, where ever here was, rotting away.
I had wanted to do something with my life, I wanted to have one, be someone my family could be proud of. Maybe, maybe they would take me back, and let me live in the house again. I was choking on my tears at this point, I heard footsteps, I needed to calm down so they wouldn't hear me. This was low, I had hit the bottom again. And I would have to start all over again. I heard a door open and shut, I continued sobbing into the pillow, this was so unfair, I didn't want much out of life, I just wanted enough, enough to be happy from. I could have nothing and as long as I had a family and we were happy I could care less where we lived and what we had.
Satan let out a tiny mew and licked my hand. I looked down at him, he seemed to be saying don't cry, everything will be okay, I promise. I looked down at him with sad eyes and gave him a what I suppose was a smile. I had to sleep at some point, so I forced my self off the floor and washed all the tears and makeup from my face. I found Satan at my feet and took him over to the bed where I cuddled him in a ball and fell asleep, a few tears still falling out as I did.
I woke up to a loud knocking at my door. I ignored it.
"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK" it got louder and louder Jesus, I wish they would shut it.
"Eh, come in." I groaned.
"It's time to wake up." said a smooth even voice.
"But it's still dark.." I whined, I was tired, if I was a prisoner, dammit let me sleep in.
"But I've been ordered to show you were the training room is, so you best get up before I have to go use force." his voice was quiet but stern, meh at least he was being nice, I slowly got up and rubbed my eyes, looking at the ruby headed boy in front of me. I had to hold myself back from glomping him, he was so adorable, I could just imagine him as a kitty. The look my my face must have been something funny because he was giving me a confused look. I looked at him and smiled closing my eyes putting my hands up to my mouth so I wouldn't say anything to embarrassing.
"Your face is funny." He said looking out the fish tank window thing.
"I can't help it." I said looking down at the covers. I smiled and then with a sudden burst of courage I asked, "Can I, can I glomp you please, I promise this will be the only time!" I put on my best puppy dog eyes.
"Well, I guess so, but wha-" That was all I needed to hear.
I literally bolted off the bed and hugged him from the air knocking him down with a loud thud. I sat there and cuggled him for a minute before straighten myself out and getting up. I offered my hand to him, but he denied it.
"Oh, if you didn't already know I'm Tara." I said looking down in embarrassment, jeez did I have to have such a, such a girl moment He was good cuggler, even if he was hard, like wood.. That was weird. But maybe we could be friends some day, he seems nice enough.
"I'm Sasori, and just for future reference you will never glomp me again." he said walking to the door. "This way, I still have to show you where the training room is." He said not looking at me. Well there goes being friends with him.
My smile fell from my face, I had forgotten about that completely. He had started walking so I followed, shouldn't waste his time, he probably had more important things to do. Satan had followed me out of the room and was sniffing at Sasori curiously. He pointed to the door on the end of the right hallway.
"Just be there at 3."
"Yeah, I will be." I sighed, this isn't exactly what I wanted to spend my evening doing.
He walked away down the hall way into the living room area. Well I like him, he's not a jerk, or an ass, or a creep, or a money hoarding old man, still he was weird. Satan ran back into my room, I had left the door open, I walking inside and changed into a tight black tank top that went to about my belly button, and some black cargo Capri's. I brushed my hair and put on my eye liner. Grady growled at me. It was about 12 now.
"Alright, Alright I'll make lunch." I said to myself, as I walked into the living room, Satan at my heels.
Everyone in the room was staring at me as I walked into the kitchen. I looked back and yelled "What are you bums staring at?" I turned my back and made myself a sandwich and sat down on the couch next to Deidara, I took a bite out of my sandwich angrily. This was bullshit, I don't need to be stared at. Okay I get really grumpy when I don't sleep enough, I had left Satan in the kitchen to eat some raw fish I saw in the fridge.
"Some one's not happy." Deidara said mockingly.
I glared at him, my mouth was full so I couldn't say anything.
"Awh, what happened, you were oh so willing to insult me yesterday, has the cat got your tongue hn?" Again he was mocking me, I just chewed my sandwich, glaring a hole in his head.
I was about to take another bite when his hand covered my mouth. Oh really, were going to play these games now are we? I licked his hand hoping he would pull it away grossed out. Oh no, his hand licked me back. His mother fucking handlicked my mouth, his hand had just french-ed me. I didn't know weather to be embarrassed, or steaming mad. Maybe I would be both, or maybe I could be weird. I thought of all the things I could do, and I immediately new witch one I liked best. I put my tongue back in my mouth and calmly pushed his hand off my face. Everyone stared at me for some sort of reaction, and my reaction was just to resume eating my sandwich, for now that is. When I was finished I got up to grab some juice, I took a sip before placing it on the coffee table. Satan was looking at me curious to see what I was doing, he ended up climbing on Sasori's head to get a better view, and Sasori he just looked up at Satan who was comfortably perched, shrugged and continued to watch T.V. I had to hold in a a massive giggle, that image was so cute! Anyway I sat back down next Deidara, I was slowly moving closer and closer to his until I was in perfect range. And then... I licked his cheek from his chin to his forehead.
"Awhg what the hell un?' he said in shock. "Do you always go licking strangers faces yeah?" I downed my whole cup of juice to rid his surprisingly sweet taste out of my mouth.
"Your hand kissed me, I figured my revenge would be just as nasty." I defended.
By this point in time everyone realized what just happened and were laughing their asses off. Satan jumped off Sasori's head trotted over to my lap, laying down in it. His eyes smiled at mine, and I let out a small giggle while I started to rub his tummy.
"This isn't funny hm! She might have a disease!" Whipping his face off some more.
I laughed "Oh don't complain babe, you liked it." I said cracking up as soon as I called him babe, it suited him, especially with that girly figure of his.
I started laughing again, when Satan got up climbed up Deidara's chest and licked his face, then laid down in his lap rolling onto his back so his pudgy kitten belly was exposed.
I smiled softly. "He wants you to rub his tummy." I said looking over, this was rare Satan didn't usually like other people at all, but he seemed to be taking a shine to my kidnappers, maybe they weren't as bad as I thought. "You guys should feel special, Satan isn't normally so friendly with new people." I smiled and with that left Satan to cuddle with Deidara while I went to change into some better clothes for this meeting I had to go to.
I walked slowly to my room taking my time to grasp all of it, I'm confused to say the least. They were being nice I don't know why this surprises me, maybe it's because of my lack of faith in people. Almost everyone I've ever met has had alternative motives for being my friend and everyone one of them was shallow, maybe this was my chance, to be happy, to be able to heal. I shook my head, that was a foolish thought, that's how I always got hurt, I forgive to much.
I looked threw my clothes for some form fitting clothes, I had a feeling I would need the room to move, I found a green cami and some black shorts, this would do. I tied my hair into a high pony tail with a red ribbon, I sat on the floor and fiddled with my dad's old dog tags. I never took them off, never. It was all I had left of him now, he was the only one I could talk to with about my other half. I could feel some tears form in my eyes, I let the already formed tears fall, but there wouldn't be anymore. I whipped them off and fixed my make up before heading back to the living room. I could hear voices on the other side of the door, I decided I would see what they were talking about, maybe it was information I could use later.
"She has potential." That was Sasori's voice, he sounded like he was thinking hard about something.
"Yes, but how many other girls 'had potential' ?" asked Itachi his voice held a lot of frustration. That's unusual, he was usually monotone and shit.
"But she has something, special about her, not anything physical, or chakra wise." Sasori paused. "It's her entire being, Only the test can tell if she has the skill to move on, and if so then we've made progress, if not.. Back to square one."
This time it was Deidara who spoke "I don't want to see her fail this, hn. All the other girls were to busy being sad and upset, or trying to rape one of us that, they never got a chance to get to know us, even a little yeah. That's what's so different, I hope she doesn't die, she certainly makes this place more entertaining hn." Die, what does he mean die? Is this test dangerous, damn I should have practiced my moves.. Wait was this what that dream was about, so I'd be ready? I frowned, death wouldn't be the worse thing at this point, but I wouldn't go without giving them hell first.
"It would be a pity to see another go," sighed Itachi.
"Yes, it would be. Even if she's no use to us, it would be a loss for someone somewhere." Sasori half mumbled.
"Yeah, hn." Was that all they had to say about this? Wasn't there something else they could do? I don't want to die, there's still so much I wanna do in this world, some much to experience. I straightened up, no I will be strong and I will pass this test. I put on a smile and walked into the room.
"Hey what time is it?" I asked seating myself next to Sasori, and wanted to glomp him again. Restraint is key Tara, restraint is key, besides I think if I did he would kick my ass. He was not happy about the first time at all.
"It 2:30." Sasori replied look off at something. Well this was boring, okay time to make this awkward and hilarious.
"You know I think I know you guys from somewhere, I can't put my finger on a name but I think you were in a show. And my friend Kiki was obsessed with it, so she made me read all this fan-fiction."
Deidara interrupted me "Fan-fiction? What's that?" He sounded curious. Sasori looked over, good he was also listening.
"It's where fans of the show write a story, usually about themselves or a made up character, about the show and the characters in the show. Sometimes though they will just take the characters already in the story and make it into a romance." I smiled evilly.
"What are you getting at hm?" Questioned Deidara raising an eyebrow.
"Well she made me read a few that involved you and Sasori falling in love and having hot, steamy yaoii sex!" I smiled widely, both there faces dead panned as Sasori fell over twitching. My work here was done. "I'll see you guys later." I chimed as I left the living room.
Now, time to face this challenge and show them that I'm more than just another girl. I smirked, this is for you dad.
Deidara's POV
After she left me and Sasori didn't say anything to each other, he's my partner. I mean it's not like the other members don't make jokes about me and him being gay for each other, but did she really need to be such a bitch? I sighed and laughed.
"What do you find so funny?" Sasori huffed.
"I don't know, just the way she came in here. She walked in, said something insulting, then left. Don't you find that even a tiny bit funny yeah."
"She's an odd one, that's for sure." Sasori said.
"I can only imagine what her friends are like." Itachi thought aloud.
"I'd rather not know." Me and Sasori said at the same time sweat dropping.
I started to walk to my room when someone grabbed my arm, I turned around to see Tara holding onto it. She looked about ready to keel over. I looked into her eyes, I had never noticed before but they were different colors one was a crystal blue with a green sliver at the bottom, while the other was golden amber with silver gray specks in it. They sparkled with threatening tears, I softened my face, I was going to yell at her for the stunt she pulled earlier, but, What am I saying? Why should I care about how she feels, she's constantly a bitch to me, to almost everyone. Fuck her feelings they don't deserve to be spared.
"What hn?" I snapped at her, my anger returning.
"I-I just need you to do me a favor." she stuttered looking down, Oh jeez she sounded about ready to cry, her grip on my arm tightened.
"Why should I do you a favor hm? You've done nothing to make me wanna help you." Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh, she started sniffling.
"I-It's n-not even for m-me.." she choked.
I raised my eyebrow, motioning for her to proceed.
"I need you to swear to me, t-that if I-I..." she stopped to take a choppy breathe. "That if I die, you'll take care of Satan, make sure he lives, because I don't think I could-" tears were falling down her face now. I looked at her with pity, what was she trying to get at? "I don't think I could ever forgive myself ever, if anything bad were to happen, even after I was dead. For Satan, he deserves a good life.." She looked up at me for an answer, she looked truly desperate for an answer. She wasn't just thinking about her cat, there was so much more to her, and for some reason, I wanted her to spill her guts to me.
I looked her in the eye and I spoke gently "Your not going to die."
"Just please, promise me!" she pleaded.
"But your not goi-"
"Shut up, don't you even fucking dare lie to me. I know what this meeting really is, and I'm not about to give up, but I need you to swear that you'll make sure Satan is okay." I was startled by the sudden change in mood, she sure cared about this cat, he must be a special part of her life..
"Alright, I promise I'll take care of him, hn," I sighed.
She looked back down smiling, the tears still coming. "If you can't keep him here take him to Vienna she's my best friend, 26 Cherry Dove Road, Manchester New Hampshire in the U.S.A, she'll understand that I'm not alive and take him willingly. She will want to ask questions, but you don't have to explain anything to her, just give her this letter." She wasn't shaking anymore, and she handed me the letter, I took the thin envelope in my hand.
She let go, and continued down the hall way heading straight for the training room. Her walk was proud, and then she stopped, "And if you ever tell anyone about what just happened I'll make sure to drag you to hell with me when I die." And then she continued kicking down the door, this girl sure knew how to make an entrance.
"Good luck Tara." I sighed as I went to my room shaking my head.
Chapter 4 is going to be so epic, but as said reviews are good, it helps me make the story better and gives me reason to write more. (I mean I have to get exersise at some point. :P)
