Chapter 4: Friends.
Sakura came back into the room with a tray of food and set it on his table next to the bed. "So what were you doing next to the forest anyway?" she asked him, He picked up the apple and bit into it, "looking for someone" he answered. She looked at him, 'looking for someone?', "looking for who?" she pushed, he looked at her, " my friend." He turned and looked back out the window. Silence filled the room, as he looked out the window and she looked at the ground. "He dissapeared out there a coupl days ago" his voice broke the silnce, she waited and he continued, "hes one of my best friends, i lost my parents in a car crash three years ago and ive been living with him." He went on and Sakura soon found out that His friend Deidara was like his brother, and that he started changing after he met a person by the name of sasuke uchiha. Sasori told her how deidara was supposed to meet sasuke in the woods and he followed him, but when he got there he coundlt find him so he got lost. "thats when this..I think it was a wolf attacked me." he was looking at her now,"It was about, six or seven feet tall, and had cold black eyes" sakuras eyes widened, 'had that been like the wolf in my dream?' sasori noticed an asked what was wrong, she shook her head and asked him to continue, he nodded. "After it bit me, i kicked it right in the nose and it let go and ran away, i tried my best to find a way out, then i saw headlights through the trees and headed there..that when i woke up here." Sakura looked at him, "you dont remember the ride here?" she asked remembering the nurse talking about him screaming about fire, He shook his head slowly trying to remember, Sakura smiled and told him not to worry about it. He sighed, "I wish I could, I dont even know who found e and drove me here" "well atleast your here and ok,maybe wehn your a bit better we can help you find your friend." she reassured, he nodded again and silence filled the room. Sasori looked at her for a momnet and spoke, "How old are you?" sakura looked up and smiled "eighteen." He tilted his head with a confused expression, "Where are your parents?" The trayshe was now holding rattled when her hands shook and she looked down, he spoke again "Im sorry, i didnt mean to upset you-" she cut him off "Its fine..they died In a hunting accident a year ago.." she didnt like remembering the day they left and didnt come back, she got a phone call and saw that they had been malled by what looked like bears. Sasori stayed quiet until she spoke again, looking at her expression, "I was starting here, fresh out of medical school, so I wasnt home when they left. I got home and they werent there and saw a note saying they were going hunting, so I waited. When they didnt come home after two days i got worried, and thats whe n i got the phone call telling me that they were found in the woods, d-dead" her voice broke at the end of the sntence, she was still getting use to trying to be strong, not letting any of her co-workers let her know shes sad, that she could break if pushed the wrong way. She felt sasoris arms wrap around her, "Im sorry i made you think about that, why dont you go home or something, ill be fine" He released her and smiled and sat on his bed again. "Ill be back" she said with a praticed smile that wasnt all to good. He just nodded not looking up from the bed. She walked out of the room into the broom closet and let her emotions take over.
It was a week later and Sasori had been let go out of the hospital to go home, she didnt know how he was doing or where he was right now, just that he was supposed to fid his friend. she hoped he did, she knew what it was like not to have friends, she never had friends. in school she worked extra hard to get aead not having time for other things, and the fact that her hair was pink and she had a big forhead just cherry topped her whole situation. She was driving home, hoping to have some kind of call from him, in one week she had gained like a best friend, no like a little brother, and she was hoping she wouldnt lose him. She got home, and went to the phone. No messeges. She sighed and walked back out the door still in her blue jeans and tight dark red hoody, she didntwant to stay in the house so she went back to the arcade and sat at her table.
It wasnt about five minutes later when the sound of rumbling motorbikes came from outside and that she forgot to breath. Her eyes darted toward the door and there they stood. All Nine perfect and beautiful in everyway, hair blowing in the wind slightly, well except forthe second brown hair boy who always wore hats. All dressed in casual clothing that only made them look more like models. They walked forward earning a gasp form their new formed audience that watched their every move, and sat down at the table they had before. Sakura was now looking down at her magazine she brought, to afraid to look up, until she saw her reflection in her glass and let out a breath to get her face from purple back to the pale complextion she had. She was still looking down when se heard the bell over he door ring, she looked up and her jaw dropped to the table.
He was about five-nine or six feet tall, standing next to the door, his short blood red hair was wet from, it was probably raining, she wouldve muttered a sarcastic great id it hadnt been for the fact that this, this godlike thing was standing there, his pale gorgeous skin shining in the little light the arcade had, his eyes rimmed in blackish purple coloring, masking bright green eyes that were fixed on the group at the table, his tight black jeans clung to his legs showing his leg mucsles as he walked toward the group his long sleeve darkred shirt sticking to his well mucsled chest and arms, and when he walked it was like watching the calm water of a lake.
Sakura felt light headed, 'Whats wrong with me?' she asked herself, She pulled away form her thoughts when and icy finger slid under her jaw and pushed her jaw back up, "I thought I said that was tempting" came Kibas voice from right beside her, She jumped and looked at him. Kiba was stting next to her at the small table and naruto was sitting infront smiling the angelic smile that she loved so much. "H- H0" why couldnt she talk? The brown hair boy dressed in blue jeans and a brown rugby shirt just laughed a small low laugh I suppose he does have that effect on everyone, he said loking toward the table, naruto cleared his throat and spoke, "Sakura-chan? How have you been?" he asked with a small smile. Sakura looked up into the deep blue of eyes, that were soft and gentle, and couldnt help but smile. She felt a wave of happyness flow through her as she answered. "Im fine, Naruto, Ive been good. How about you guys?" She aked looking from him to kiba. Kiba was playing with a strand of her hair, Huming innocently. Sakura looked forward to see the blue-eyed girl, with the long blonde hair, looking at her from the corner of her eye with a small smile on her face. Sakura couldnt but smile too, then naruto spoke again, "were fine. we had to go out of town for a while." he said with a smile, "Thats why we werent here to protect you, sorry" sakura looked at him Immediatly, "what are you apologizing for? I didnt ask for you too protect me." her eyes were wide with surprise, why they would protect sakura was beyond her knowledge. Kiba laughed, "We want to though. Thats why we saved you form those guys. Your going to be our, how do I put it, responsibility?" he said looking t naruto. Naruto smiled and nodded. Sakura was confused but looked at naruto, and a feeling of understanding came through her, from where she has no idea, but she just smiled and nodded. "Ok, you guys do whatever you want" she said in a cheery voice, "wait" she asked. Kiba and naruto looked at her, waiting for her to say what she needed. Sakura cleared her throat, "D-does this mean, that were like..friends?" she asked looking back down at the table. Naruto and Kiba both looked at eachother like they had been slapped. Kiba pulled her face up to look her in the eyes, then he laughed. "Ofcourse we are" she felt so happy she couldve hugged them both, but held it to herslef. she had to go home and tell Sasori what happened. She jumped up form the table climbing over kiba, much to his surprise and got to the floor. "I have to go home right now and tell Sasori whats happened!" she was so happy she didnt bother keeping her voice down, she never really had friends so this was a whole new feeling of joy to her. Naruto smied and nodded and kiba looked saddened by her going home. Sakura smiled "Ill be back, Promise" Kiba looked up and smiled, like he knew she meant it. She began walking towards the door, not paying attention to where she was going and right when she got next to the groups table she tripped. She closed her eyes tight waiting to fel the cold floor under her body tey again. It didnt come. Sakura looked up to see that she was in the arms or the redhead. She blushed furiously, staying still like a statue. He set her up right and walked out or the door immediatley. the squealing of tires could be heard and he was gone. Sakura felt extremely bad now, she didnt to make him leave. "what did I do?" she said in a small whisper, and a little laugh came from beside where she stood, as an arm came around her shoulders and she felt that same conforting happy emotion fill her again. Naruto ha his arm around her shoulders and was laughing too. Kiba walked up and gestured with a snowwhite hand to the group "Sakura, Meet our family" he said with a smile. Sakura looked to the group and smiled. She had forgotten about the redhead for right now.
