A couple of days later and nothing of note has happened, the most notable thing was Michelle being sent back from the mission with Konan for throwing water on her so she couldn't make her paper things anymore. Same old, same old. Teaching, planning the play, eating, oh I suppose I should mention that I've been sleeping in Hidan's room for the best part of the week. Don't look at me like that, it wasn't anything like that.
Slamming back into reality I crumple myself back into my sheets (yeah, I'm in my room). My eyes gritty and blurred open slowly after a seriously good nights sleep, sometimes it only feels like I've been here a few minutes but I've been here three days in total, sometimes it goes fast and sometimes when I think of everything that's happened I think that it's gone so slowly! I crawl out of my comfy duvet stretching out all my stiff muscles from my curled up ball position I like to sleep in. I scrunch my eyes against dull creeping light, slinking in past the cranberry cotton blinds.
Laying splayed across the cream carpet are about 7 sheets of paper all emblazoned with the same black marker, they're lists for the play of who's going to play which character, I have to finalise them today so we can get practising for the real thing. These sheets of paper are the Akatsuki's ideas of who should play who, needless to say that there is no decided result on a Romeo yet…at least I don't think so, unless Zetzu decided to be nice and let me be with Hidan? Doubt it though, his black side probably told him not to. One thing they all agree on however is who should play the maid and that would be Itachi, and I agreed. Lol.
While I'm looking carefully at each of them I hear a soft knock on my door followed by a shout of:
"Abi-sensei are you awake?"
"Yes I am. Come right in." I smile as the door swings open, until I see who it is, the only person in the Akatsuki to actually give me the creeps big time…
Black spikes fill the doorframe as I look at Leader-sama's spiked blonde (or would you say ginger?) hair which seemingly defies all laws of gravity, light maliciously glints from his silver piercings which are dotted all over his body. Resolute in his hand is a piece of white paper which contrasts to his black robes which swirl along the floor. I wrap myself in a velvet red blanket and perch on the end of the bed so I don't end up showing anything that I don't want to be shown, I shouldn't do anyway but wearing one of these knickers and t-shirt set you never can be too careful…
After standing awkwardly and inspecting my room Leader-sama finally says " I'm not sure about this play you know, we have a reputation to uphold as killers and I really don't think that putting on a play would be very conducive to that reputation."
"Oh well if you want to stop it I can't prevent you from doing so, it's hard to organise too because everyone's biased about who they want to play who and I am awfully sorry for the…ehem…toaster that Hidan accidentally threw at your head. It was meant for Dei-Dei." I grimace with the recollection of the blood and the intense swearing that happened 2 days ago.
"I would like to say that it was nothing, but it wasn't."
"Like I said, sorry."
For a few moments there is an awkward silence because I end up winding my fingers around the tassels on the end of the blanket while Leader just stands there looking at me, probably hoping that I'll say something so that he doesn't. Eventually I decide that I should probably begin to get ready to teach again so I have to get rid of him.
"So, is that all you wanted Leader-sama?" I smile as I hop gingerly down from the bed
"No actually, I wanted to give you my own cast list."
"You're an evil boss of an evil organisation and you wrote me a cast list?" I ask sceptically with my eyebrows raised
"I got bored and put some funny people together, I was nice to you of course and put you with Hidan, if I didn't I wouldn't want another toaster thrown at my head."
Leader taps his nose knowingly as he silently walks out of the room clicking the door shut behind him. It was what he said that made me flush with embarrassment, I'm going to finally be able to kiss Hidan and on stage as well in front of everyone, with him speaking Shakespeare to me. As I sit there in my reverie of Hidan being all Shakespearian I didn't notice the fact that Zetzu had slunk into the room and is perching next to me on the bed. When I turn my head to face the bathroom door I see his mesmerising amber eyes staring intently at me.
"Zetzu! You scared me then I didn't know you were here." I chuckle having just jumped out of my skin
"I am sorry. I just wanted to see you before class began because I wanted you to read this poem that I wrote, I didn't want any of the others to know, obviously the killer cannibal writing poetry is fairly rich."
"I wont tell a soul Zetzu. You want me to read it in front of you or wait until this evening to read it?"
I hold out my hand in order to take the poem off him but to my confusion he merely holds out his own hand and clasps mine in his. I look at him with large eyes, fingers clasping his warm hands leeching their heat into my own freezing ones. Without me realising what's going on he begins to speak in a slow almost mournful rhythm about the most beautifully sad feelings I've ever heard. Hardly unusual for a poem to be about love but the way he expresses it is so wonderful, at one point I can even feel tears pricking the corners of my eyes…until I realise that it's about me. Then I burst into a flurry of them much to Zetzu's amazement.
"Oh Zetzu, that was beautiful…I really loved it."
"I hoped you would, why are you crying Abi-kawaii?"
He asks folding me into his arms, it's only then that I notice too that his huge bud is missing and I can comfortably snuggle into his warm chest as he strokes my hair affectionately with the occasional squeeze on my waist. Suddenly I feel his soft lips brush my own, I jolt a little at the feel of them, at the smell of peppermints on his breath until I find myself kissing him back very softly and gently. Almost as suddenly as it started it began to get a little heated, he kisses me a lot harder winding his fingers in my hair almost as if it pains him not to hold me.
After about two minutes I break off staring at him wide eyed as the gravity of what I had just done dawns on me, what about Hidan? Is this actually a bad thing to do I mean he can't kiss me anyway, he told me that but I still feel so mean on him and even though I really do like Hidan I'm feeling so much more for Zetzu now, but Hidan is so sweet when he's around me. I think back to the past couple of weeks since I've been here and almost every single night I ended up sleeping in Hidan's bed (not like that :P) there's only been 3 days that I haven't the first two I was here and last night.
"Abi-kawaii? Are you alright?" Zetzu asks quietly, still in shock himself I think.
"Yes, I'm fine Zetzu-kun, but I'm so sorry about that. I don't know what came over me, I don't know what Hidan will say." I begin to get flustered and upset about it rather than what I should have been thinking which is 'wow he is such a good kisser'.
"Hidan won't say anything, I talked to him before and after numerous curses and slashes from his scythe I managed to persuade him that I should at least be allowed to kiss you because he can't. He did tell me to tell you that he's working on Jashin but he is a God so it's going a little slow, Hidan probably wanted to tell you that himself but too late."
"I did want to tell her myself you b*stard." Hidan murmurs from the doorway, leaning against it with his scythe glinting dangerously crimson blood encrusted upon the tips of each blade.
"I'm going to leave now," Zetzu laughs as he gets up from the bed, looking back at me fondly and giving me one last embrace before he leaves telling me that he'll see me in lessons later.
I stare at Hidan's face, the hurt plastered all over it like the gel on his silver hair. I wander over to him so he can see how beat up I am about it which makes his stern expression soften, he wraps me up in his arms and carries me to the bed where we lay for at least 5 minutes in absolute silence, Hidan wrapping his arms around me so tightly that I feel that he's crushing my bones to dust! I lay my head on his chest; faint beats from his heart are soft against my ears as I splay my hands on his abdomen.
"Hidan, I'm so sorry." I snivel sounding much more pathetic than I wanted to
"It's not your fault Abi-kawaii, you only wanted to make Zetzu happy which I understand. I just hate not being able to make you happy, to make you see how much I want to kiss you not just to do all this hugging s*it all the f*cking time!"
"What's wrong with hugging?" I laugh poking him hard in the rib
"Nothing, but it gets a little tame when I think about doing so much more to you" Hidan purrs next to my ears
Trying to distract him desperately I decide to tell him the news about Romeo and Juliet "Oh Hidan some good news. You're my Romeo in the play; Leader said you had to be. Isn't that good?"
"Very good, I'll have to work harder on Jashin-sama before the kissing scene." Hidan smiles kissing me lightly on the cheek before pulling me into the bathroom and telling me to get ready "I want to learn as much as possible about my role today, don't let me down sensei!" He warns
"Of course I won't now go away while I get ready."
"Can't I watch?" He pouts standing resolute in the way of the towel rack, crossing his arms across his chest and squatting down so I can't shove him away no matter how hard I try, in fact he laughs at me that is so demoralising.
"No, you can't. Now go, please otherwise I'll choose someone else as my Romeo."
"Look, I couldn't give a s*it whether I'm your Romeo in this dumb ass play of yours all I care about is being your Romeo for real. You understand?" His face reddens and he attempts to overcome his emotional moment by twirling his scythe about and flexing his muscles.
"Aww that's really sweet Hidan, and you can continue being sweet after I'm ready. Now go and do something useful and if it gets you off my back go and pick some clothes out for me."
"Do you have to wear clothes?" He smirks playfully tugging at my black vest top
"Yes. Now go!" I smile shoving him out of the bathroom and locking the door
While I'm standing under the hot spray from the shower I think about everything that's happened this week, well it's been a hectic one apart from being here in the first place I've been thrust into the world of teaching and I have been surrounded by the most handsome men you have ever met who all like me (apart from one and I don't like him either so that's all good) and I'm doing what I love. I haven't gone swimming with Kisame yet, I must get to do that. I'll ask him today actually as I've got him for my next lesson. With that I wrap a fuzzy towel around me and step into the cold bedroom where Hidan lies sprawled out on the bed with my clothes for today lined up next to him.
Oh My Jebus, he would pick THAT!
