I held my head high, taking care not to look anyone in the eyes as the girls around me shrieked in a pitch that should be illegal (How we had become popular enough for this kind of welcome in a month, I will never know, but I blame Twitter… or the internet in general). Suigetsu and Karin stopped sporadically to sign this autograph or pose for random fans. Orochimaru had stopped almost as soon as we had stepped off the bus as he was surrounded by reporters. I however walked with a purpose for the door to the hotel with Jugo at my elbow. It was nearly in sight now. If this was how every place was going to be, I preferred staying in the tour bus as we had done thus far to the hotels.
I sighed, muttering, "Finally," as I made my way over to the group of abandoned couches near the wall and away from the door. My bandmates soon joined me, Karin even having the gull to sit next to me, trying to cuddle. I gave her one of my menacing glares, she gave an overdramatic sigh before scooting down to the other end of the couch. Once my personal space was regained I settled back comfortably to wait for Orochimaru to check us in.
"Hey Sasuke," I turned a half glare on Suigetsu who disturbed my peaceful moment I had been using to get rid of my headache. Unfazed, he continued, "What's up with you lately? If I didn't know better I'd say you've been happy! Hell I even think that I saw you smile a week ago!" He put his feet up on the coffee table, lounging back.
My mind immediately shot back to Naruto, and I gave a mental snort, what would my bandmates think of one of our fights? "I'm not a robot you know, I do have emotions."
"No you have a default one. Glare." He shrugged with a toothy grin.
I looked away choosing to ignore him. My eyes wandered to the glass doors of the entrance. Suprisingly, the crowd had not dissipated, if anything it had grown exponentially. All at once the whole group burst into a shriek that was so high that the pitch should have been illegal.
The rest of the band looked up as the fangirl's volume impossibly increased. It took a moment for the cause of the ruckus to reach the door. Well, atleast the redhead of the group did, scowling back at the fans.
"It's the Akatsuki!" Karin squealed, jumping out of her seat. She rushed toward Sasori, digging out a notebook and pen from… I really don't want to know where. Before she reached him, Itachi, led by Kisame's arm, came in as well.
Suigetsu whistled, removing his feet from the table so that he could lean forward and stare at them. "The Akatsuki's famous Uchiha." He paused, his eyes suddenly going wide and turning to me, "Wait, Sasuke, are you two related? You look exactly alike!" I cringed, both at Suigetsu's statement and that his overly loud voice had reached my brother's obnoxiously sensitive ears. I watched as his head turned and partially inclined to us. His unseeing eyes rested on us and I sighed in defeat, standing to face them. Kisame followed my brother's gaze a grin spread across his face. He companionably patted Itachi's hand before leading him toward us.
"Hello little Sasuke," Kisame greeted, more for Itachi's benefit than mine.
"Hello little brother." Itachi smiled, "Long time no see." I rolled my eyes as he smirked at his own play on words.
"No way!" Karin shrieked, "You're The Itachi's little bother?"
"Unfortunately. Itachi, aren't you supposed to be putting on concerts for screaming fans or at the very least vacationing on some far away island. In other words, not here." I gave my brother an unseen glare. Kisame gave a light snort, grinning at me in an infuriating way.
"My my little brother, I didn't know you cared." Itachi laughed. "We decided to visit our cute little Naruto before we went on vacation. We just happened to get layed over here."
"Got quite the shock when we saw her though. Who would have thought that in the two months you're gone she'd get a boyfriend." Suigetsu shot me a smirk, raising an eyebrow.
I froze, my entire body going numb. "What?" my question came out as a low, angry growl.
Kisame chuckled, "It's a new kid that hasn't been on the receiving end of your 'mine don't touch' glares. Nice enough, lazy as all hell though. His name's Shika…something."
"You talking about our Naruto un?" an even more hyper blonde than the one I was used to jumped on me from behind. His arms snaked around my neck.
"Strange couple." Sasori stated, coming to stand with us.
"Yeah- un They act more like friends! Anytime I brought it up though, Naru would just give me that mischievous of her's and shrug un!" Deidara complained.
"Cheeky girl," Sasori glared.
"Akatsuki, what a surprise." All eyes turned to my snake like manager. "I apologize for breaking up this moment, but my band needs their rest."
Diedara released me with a glare at Orochimaru. He fell back to Sasori's elbow, pouting.
Orochimaru led us to the elevators, handing us each keys to our individual rooms. He said something to the other band members that I chose to ignore whatever he said, opting to slam into my room instead.
I glared at the dark room, murderous anger rippling through me.
My eyes found the phone and I stormed over to it. My fingers punched in the familiar number. Every ring in my ear seemed to irritate me more.
"Hello?" came a half awake voice from the other end.
"Dobe," I growled.
"Teme? Do you know what time it is?" I had to work to keep my anger at the sound of her sounding so… no I will not even think the word in my head.
"Dobe, You have a boyfriend?""
"What?" her voice was slowly becoming more alert
"You, boyfriend." I repeated.
"What are you… Oh, Shikamaru?" There was a laugh on the other end that did nothing to sate Sasuke's temper.
"Unless you're dating more than one person, YES, Shikamaru!" Sasuke glared at anything and everything in sight.
Naruto chuckled, "Like you are the one that should be giving me advice on not dating more than one person at once." I could hear her roll her eyes as she made the comment, "But no, I'm only dating Shika. Wait a minute, how are you even calling me? And how the hell did you find out from…wherever the hell you are right now?"
"Naruto, you're changing the subject!" I growled.
"Teme, the first time I hear from you in months and its at three in the fucking morning, not to mention you've got the stick farther up your ass than usual. Fine than. I'm going back to bed. Goodnight." There was a click and I removed the offending electronic away from my face to glare at it. I was going to kill her… and whoever it was that she was dating.
Wow, it has been way too long. Jeez, I don't even know what to say for myself. I ended up not being able to go on my computer all summer, thus the reason for the lack of posting. *shakes head* Well anyway, Surprise surprise, Naruto has a boyfriend in this chapter! Press the pretty… What color is it now… button and I'll post faster!
