11/2/15 – Sunday- work- sitting in the bat-mobile – feeling sorry for myself

God. I should have just taken the chance, and hoped Sasuke and Naruto didn't notice girls don't have more then one period in two weeks. Well, I didn't see Gaara at all, I headed to work, innocent and unsuspecting.

Well, not really… but I still headed to work, and when I got there, I open the door to find both Sasuke and Naruto sitting with their arms crossed grinning at me.

And it's not often that one sees Sasuke grin- so when it happens, you know you better run like hell and NEVER look back. I, unfortunately, wasn't that intelligent.

"We were just talking about you, Sorano…" Naruto says creepily, the grin never failing.

"Um, hello…" I say hesitantly. Their grin widens, and I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, I shuffle into the next room. "I'm just gonna…um… go and…erm, deliver… stuff…." I say, and head out to find my list.

I search the front counter and find no list. Then I head a very, very evil 'Looking for this?' coming from their direction, I turn, to find them with the same Cheshire cat grins.

"Um- yes… can I have it?" I ask, reaching foreword to take it, he yanks it out of my reach just in time.

"Uh uh, not so fast." He says, I take a step back.

"Um…" I say. Not knowing what to do.

"You know, over the past week- we've become good friends haven't we Sora?- is it okay if we call you that?"

"Um- yes?" I say, still confused.

"Well, as friends, we want you to come to a weekend …. Get-together…"

I don't like the way he said 'get-together' it's kinda like the way Jiraiya-sensei says 'breast'. It makes you want to shuffle your desk back. And, in this case, I take a good step back. "Err…"

"Now, Sora, it'll be… fun…" Says Naruto, looking quite evil, you know, I would have screamed 'rape' if not for the peaches incident some days back.

"Um, I gotta deliver stuff, the Hanuro household is on the list today and, um, and you know sakura gets angry, um…" I start to stutter.

Sasuke offers the list. "We'll talk when you get back." The grin hasn't left his face. I shudder, and race off.

Now, here I am, in the bat-mobile, wondering if I should leave the country before another potato-sack is thrown over me.

I shall write when I get home- if I make it that far.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

12/2/15 - in the morning, got up early, surprisingly.

Writing now because I have nothing better to do. Well, they didn't throw a potato sack over me this time- at least.

The Hanuro household was uneasy- when sakura came to sign the form her eyes were red and puffy from crying and she had a bruise forming over her cheek- I didn't ask, it wasn't my business, but still.

Anyway, came back, found Naruto and Sasuke conversing quietly, I slipped past using invisible girl's amazing power of invisible-ness, got the next load, slipped back, delivered it.

I managed to do this three times before they got suspicious and kept an extra eye out for me, and then I was cornered in the bat-cave, on the grain-sacks, my favourite place to read. At least this time they had dropped the creepy grins, I could manage to speak without stuttering so bad.

"Ok, we'll get right down to the facts this time-"

"Um, what?" I ask.

"Last time was just to freak you out."

I twitch. "What?!" I ask sharply.

They shrug. "It was fun."

I glare at them, and cross my arms, dog-earing my page and sitting up.

"Ok, well, like I said, we're having a holiday thing. Every year my family does this, and every year, they say bring friends, Itatchi always brings his girlfriend - and I never do, well this time I want to bring mine."

"Yes… I don't see where this involves me." I say.

"Sora, you are my friend." He says, too sweetly. He's Sasuke. He doesn't say ANYTHING sweetly. I narrow my eyes suspiciously.

"Well, I want to bring you and Naruto." He says.

"Yes…" I say, still suspicious.

"And…Will you come?" Naruto cuts in.

I frown at them. It's too weird. He would have just brought Naruto if there was a problem. Suddenly a though hits me. "Hey- Itatchi always brings his girlfriend… this year you want to- wait a second here!" I say, eyeing them, Naruto sighs, and Sasuke glares.
"I told you it wouldn't work- she isn't as stupid as you!"

Sasuke sighs. "Ok, well, you see, I want to bring Naruto- only problem is my family don't know, about… about…"
"You and Naruto." I say simply.

"Yeah, well, I need a girlfriend, and since you seem the perfect person for the job…" he trails off. "That way nobody will suspect a thing."

"How are you going to bring Naruto?" I ask. They look at each other, and Naruto grins.

"Hello cousin!" he says enthusiastically.

I stop. "Oh no, no, no, no!" I say, shaking my head. "No!"

"Aw, come on Sora!" Naruto whines.

"Not happening!" I say firmly.

"But it's a beautiful place- a tennis court, and pool, and buffet, all you can eat- rooms and everything!" Sasuke insists. "All for free!"

"No, not happening- he is not my- your not my- ah! No!" I say, waving my arms in a 'no' motion.

"But look!" Sasuke pushes us to a mirror, and makes us stand next to each other; blonde hair and blue eyes stare at each other in the mirror. "Perfect match!" he says.

"No- no, no!" I get off the grain, my shift was almost over anyway. "No!"

"Sora- at least consider it!" Sasuke says, annoyed.

"Invisible girl isn't that social! Nobody even knows I exist- it'll get out, and people think we're going out, and then- and then… and then god knows what'll happen!" I say angrily.

"What- people will talk to you!?" Naruto says, looking shocked.

"Oh no! What will she do- people talking to invisible girl- Sorano Takaski with friends!?"

"It's not natural!"

"It's a crime against nature!" they feign shock and be assholes for a while.

"Ok-ok! I get the point!" I say grumpily. "It still doesn't mean I'll come!"

"Think about it?" Sasuke asks, he looked awfully cute you know.

Naruto joined in, you know, I never knew Sasuke could pull off the puppy dog look, the nasty manipulating asshole he is. Ditto with Naruto.

"Please?" Naruto whined.

"Ah! Ok! Ok! I'll THINK- think, think mind you- about it!"

They smirk. "Good."

I run for it, not wanting to stick around, on the way back Temari gives me a lift, (she was heading back from her work herself) and I fed the cats and went to bed.

After school & work – 9:47

School was boring- we continued to do our science project, and I nearly blew it up again, Gaara has officially placed a ban on me touching our experiment. I helped him with English though- we had to interpret a poem. Boring- but it's a good bludge period.

I asked him is Kankuro liked the cake- he gave me the most 'I will kill you' glare I've seen from him yet. I think that it was a 'yes'.

At work Sasuke and Naruto pestered me some more. Delivered another package to the Hanuro household- once again, Sakura's makeup was rubbed off and you could see the bruise. This time I asked if she was okay, she just mumbled something and walked off.

Tammy is looking awful pregnant- the kitties should be due soon.

Valentines Day in two days, damn.

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

Tuesday 13/2/15 – very bored.

Bored. Nothing happened. School was boring. Work was boring, Didn't see sakura today, Naruto and Sasuke ambushed me, bothered me all day, in Art Sasuke sat next to me and I got weird looks from everyone, I growled mean things to him all lesson. He followed me all the way through English, too Gaara's annoyance, and the two boys had a glare-off when Gaara asked if he was bothering me.

Well, I didn't know he was so protective of me! Anyway, I told Sasuke to bug off and he just shrugged and let himself be swarmed by adoring fans, I just stuck my finger up at him and kept walking.

"I didn't know you were on stalking terms with Sasuke." Gaara said casually.

I laugh, he looks surprised. "You have no idea my love." I say.

He shrugs and it made matters worse when Naruto came to say hi, slinging his arm around me and looking questioningly at Gaara. I shove him off and swear at him.

Gaara also comments about me having friends all of a sudden, but I find it too mean to repeat.

I think he was just jealous.

Anyway, like I said, nothing much happened.
