Chapter Nine:

Pein's P.O.V.

I let her bury her head in my shoulder. What caused her to cry like this. "Please, tell me why you're crying," I whispered. Her sobbing was starting to subside leaving her slightly breathless. She wiped away her remaining tears. "I don't, really think, I want to tell you," She whimpered quietly. "Please," I asked. I just want to understand her, to be with her, be friends with her. To win her love and to feel loved. What am saying, I'm a god, I'll never feel true love. "Pein," She whined. "Please," I begged. This woman is reducing me to begging and pleading. Me, a god, letting a girl take over me. I want her, yes, but to be undermined to this... "Fine," She sighed. I looked at her, feeling my gaze soften. Her pale faced appeared so starkly against her midnight blue hair. But her eyes, those were something, beautiful sapphires. "Do you want to talk about this on a walk?" I asked. "Sure, I guess, just let me get changed," She breathed.

She look slightly exasperated probably because of me. "Don't try to peep on me because this time, I am locking the door," She said cheekily. "Alright," I smirked. I mentally prepared myself to wait about three hours, knowing how women are when it comes to dressing. Man, I don't why they can't just pick something and be done with it...

It was already five minutes and I was bored to bits. It takes me ten seconds flat to change. Ten seconds! I stood up waiting, it would be rude if I sat down on the couch. I intruded her home without asking, not the best way to win a girl or a date for that matter. I look through her piano music, to see if I could play any. Piano is way different from guitar. Not really my thing but, it is a pretty instrument. I check my watch pocket watch again, ten minutes, when she finally comes out.

She looked stunning. Her outfit wasn't anything special, but she looked like a goddess to me. "It's such a beautiful day," She said looking out the window. I nodded. I couldn't take my eyes off her, she wore a plain light blue knee length dress. It fit her perfectly. "You're dress is nice," I mutter the compliment quickly. "Thanks, I made it myself," She smiled slowly. "Well, you want to go now?" I ask. Always ask the girl if she's ready, step one, check. "Okay," She said. We walked towards the door, an awkward silence filling the air around. She began to reach for the doorknob, I swiftly grabbed it and motioned her out. "After you," I sighed. She nodded and looked down.

Konan's P.O.V.

"By the way, where'd you get that pocket watch," I asked as we entered the elevator. "It was my grandfather's," He stated simply.

I'm completely surprised by his behaviour! He's being so polite. Maybe, Temari was right. "Sorry for barging in," He said. "It's alright," I mumbled.

"So, can you tell me why you were crying," He said as a growing concern stared to invade in his voice. I nodded hestitantly.

We just started to exit the building. He was waiting patiently for me to answer. "Can we wait 'till we get to the lake?" I asked shyly so I could prolong the event. He nodded curtly. "If you don't want to, it's fine," He replied sounding a bit disappointed. He put his arm around my waist and looked at me. "Is this okay?" He asked. "I guess," I breathed. Least, I can do for making him wait. BUT, he did barge into MY apartment, then again, I still would be crying if not for him coming... At least he asked...

"You have to tell me now, we're at the lake," He almost snapped. I could easily see paitence was not one of his virtues. "Can we sit down?" I said trying to stall. He raised his eyebrows and sat down. I quickly followed suit. "Okay, here we go," I breathed...
