"Get into the closet, Haruka!" Temari chants for the one hundredth time.
Everyone shoves me into the closet before they shove Sasuke inside, too. He runs into my back since the closet is small. A moment later, we're enveloped into the complete pitch darkness with only the small shred of light coming in from outside under the door.
"Sorry," Sasuke apologies as we untangle ourselves.
"It's no problem. It wasn't your fault you ran into me," I tell him.
We do finally manage to untangle ourselves, but we also have to untangle ourselves from the jackets inside this closet. I think that this was closet was chosen on purpose to make less room to move around without touching something on the other person.
I sit down so that I'm under the jackets and am able to move up against the wall and move a little. Sasuke must have heard me sit down because I hear him sit down, too. At least, I think I hear him sit down. I know I hear Sasuke sigh when he does.
"Having fun yet?" I inquire.
"It could've been worse," Sasuke answers. "I don't mind being in here with you."
"At least you didn't get another guy," I say with a smile. I'm just trying to start a conversation. All Sasuke's reply is is, "Good point."
We sit in an awkward silence for the rest of the minute.
"So… how was your time with Hideyoshi?" Sasuke asks. I'm surprised he's trying to start a conversation.
"It went like this-sitting in silence," I answer. "I can't say that I really like him all that much. He's really… intense? It's hard to describe that guy. I guess he's interesting to have around, though, since he's always doing something."
"He's loud and annoying," is all Sasuke says to what I replied.
We sit in silence again. I'm a little surprised that Sasuke would end the conversation he started so easily, but I should be expecting this. He isn't very talkative in the first place. I should also be happy that he started the conversation in the first place, since I can tell he wouldn't normally do that.
After a while, I'm scared out of my mind. I feel something touch my cheek and I jump violently. I end up running my heel into Sasuke's shin.
When did he suddenly sit next to me?
"Sorry!" I apologize. "I just-I didn't know you were near me."
"It is dark," he states through gritted teeth. I think me kicking his shin hurt a bit.
I feel Sasuke run his fingertips along my cheek again. This time I don't jump, but I'm sitting still. I feel like I'm standing still while a dog—that could be mean—is sniffing around me. Sasuke puts his whole hand on my cheek, and then he turns my face to my left. He runs his thumb along the corner of my mouth, as if to mark where it is.
In a moment, I feel his breath dance on my face quickly before I feel his lips settle on mine. It feels a little weird, but he gives me another kiss and now his mouth on mine seems right. It must've felt weird because Sasuke didn't know where my mouth was and had to find it.
The feeling sweeps over me again-the feeling from when Sasuke and I had our first kiss.
I can feel my blood turning into magma again. My heart skips a beat and immediately starts to speed up further than it had already. I feel my hand begin to get sweaty, and my ears get hot. My stomach flips and turns—at least feels like it—which is churning the warm and fuzzy feeling.
Sasuke doesn't just set his lips on mine like the first time. This time, he presses against my mouth. Surprisingly, I find myself doing the same and trying to follow his lead. I can tell he's inexperienced compared to Hide.
Wait, why did I just compare Sasuke to Hide? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Sasuke now starts to move. I immediately react and move my lips against Sasuke's. I feel him lean closer to me so that this is easier, and so I do the same. I'm just trying to follow Sasuke's lead to make this much more special. I feel Sasuke put his other hand on my other cheek.
But all too soon I feel my breath starting to run out. I think the same happens to Sasuke, too, since he pulls away. We both breathe heavily when Sasuke pulls away. I enjoy feeling Sasuke's rapid hot breath on my face. I also manage to take in a whiff of what he smells like, and he smells like fire, if that makes any sense.
"We need to practice," he says breathlessly.
"Our spells? Yeah, we do," I say.
"Yeah… our spells," he trails off.
I feel like I said something wrong, but before I can let that feeling go further, Sasuke ends up kissing me again. I can feel my already-hot blood begin to boil. I specifically feel my ears burning hotter than my cheeks. Now I know for sure that I can feel the chords of Sasuke's and mine connection-wire is gaining more strength, more wire-fibers. I can't say that I'm not feeling excitedly happy about that.
All too soon, though, Sasuke ends up pulling away. When he had kissed me, he pressed against my lips firmly. It almost seemed like he had to get that out of his system for whatever reason. I can't feel Sasuke's breathe on my face, and I hear him move as far away from me as possible.
That's when I hear people getting riled up on the other side of the door. It takes a few moments, but I have to squint my eyes when the flood of light streams into the small dark space that's known as the closet.
"It's time to come out of the closet!" Temari announces.
This earns a round of snickers. I get up and Sasuke lets me leave first. I can see some people pouting that they didn't catch us doing anything, while some other girls seem to be beaming with relief.
"Well, that's a let-down," Temari sighs out.
"Sorry to disappoint you," I tell her with a slight smile.
I peel away from everyone as Hide goes into another frenzy of getting someone to pick a name from a hat. I go and find Hinata, taking a seat next to her. She still seems to be in a daze from the kiss she got. I nudge her and she gives me a smile, blushing since we both know why she's out of it.
"How was it, going into the closet for a second time?" she asks.
"Same as the first time, I guess. Nothing happened so it's all good," I tell her casually. "Hey, do you wanna go outside to the backyard? It's starting to feel a little cramped in the house."
Hinata agrees and so we both get up and leave the house. When we get to the backyard it's like any other. It's a bit spacious, there are two trees, a simple garden of leaves along the left side, and lawn chairs by the left side as well along with a few bushes dotted along the sides.
We stand together as we watch the yard. There are fireflies beginning to come out and make random flashes of light. It's a bit too dark for it to be twilight. There's a gentle breeze that tickles the face, sometimes making random pieces of hair gently caress skin. The moon is out and almost full, but we can't see its light very clearly yet. There are also crickets making their own sort of music, although it just sounds like peaceful noise.
I wonder if life could life be anymore wonderful than this.
"Hinata~!"
Hinata and I turn around to see who called for her. I feel my stomach flip over with nervousness when we see that it's Hide who came for her. He goes to her, talking about how she hasn't even picked from the hat so she needs to stay inside. He ends up ushering her to the house happily and rather quickly.
I turn away, not really wanting to attract attention to myself from him. Regardless of if I want the attention or not, I get it anyway. Hide comes walking up and stands beside me. He has a drink in his hand, and I'm pretty sure that it's apple juice. Hide's always strange like that.
"I was looking for you Haru-chan. You disappeared pretty quickly after going into the closet for seven minutes with Uchiha. I wasn't able to tease you about it," he says with a sly smile.
"Well, go ahead and shoot away with those teasing comments," I say with a shrug.
"Mm, I don't feel like it now," Hide says, chuckling a bit.
"Hey, I was wondering, why do you wear that fish-bone bracelet all the time? And why do you always have those band-aids on your face?" I'm just trying to make a conversation. I'm not sure I trust Hide when we're quiet. He might get bored and feel like he has to do something to get some fun.
"My mom gave me the bracelet. I think she's in South Africa right now," he tells me. "And as for the band-aids… some guy punched me and he had a ring on him so that's what happened. The cut never seems to go away."
"Oh… I'm sorry, that's really got to suck," I mumble.
"I guess I deserved it. The guy was the Fighter in a Unit. I was messing around with his Sacrifice like I am with you," Hide says with an amused chortle.
"… Then why are you doing it again? Don't you think Sasuke will do the same if he finds out?" I ask. I'm trying to find a way to get Hide to quit messing with my head.
"I'm doing it again because it's fun, and because I make Units get closer after the ordeal. Chances are the Uchiha will end up doing the same, although I hope he doesn't use a ring," Hide says, now laughing as if he cracked a joke.
I just look at him with a raised eyebrow. I can't seem to understand how it's funny. I sigh and say, "I didn't ask for help. Or maybe you do this because you wish that someone could be as close to you as Units are. Who knows? Maybe you think you're special enough to where a person in a Unit will want to break the bond and choose you. Or are you trying to show that fate has nothing to do with anything?"
This time Hide is quiet.
I turn to Hide to see what's up. He's staring at the ice in his drink with a rather serious and blank face. It's the first time I saw that face on him. I feel bad now, though, since I think I said something wrong or was being assuming. I've never liked it when people assumed things about me, so why should I do the same?
"Um, sorry about that, I didn't mean to say it like that," I apologize sincerely.
"No, you're right. All of those things are right, actually. I've done this with quite a few Units already."
"Oh… well… I'm not sure if it's going to work this time," I say quietly. Hide turns to me with that same serious face.
I glance at him from the corner of my eyes. Both of our ears are loosely flattened against our heads. My tail is moving back and forth calmly, while Hide's tail seems to be stiffly staying in place. I'm not sure what to say after this, but Hide turns to me with a forced smile.
"You never know, Haruka. There were a few Units that were more pig-headed than you when I tried to mess with their heads. You never know."
I am SO sorry that it's been so long since I've last updated this series! I've gotten busy, and it's going to get worse because I have college coming up. I gotta get ready! Once I do get into college, then that AUTOMATICALLY means that I'm not going to be able to update so much. I hope you guys liked this update, somewhat... I really did try really hard to make it good for all of you! I'll need a review before I'm able to update again...
