Sai's Pen Pal

Chapter twelve

I decided to split this chapter up, it would be too long.

Plus, it makes more sense for it to be split up.

IT'S SO DAMN SHORT!

~Back to Normal: Part One~

"Baby, please understand-"

"But Mom! He saved me from Than! Why can't I stay with him?"

The woman sighed. "You said your pen pal was a girl. Now that we've found out that he's a boy and that you're dating, I don't think it's decent to live with him. He might-" Fijui's bottom lip quivered as she said, "He wouldn't touch me if I didn't want him to."

"How do you know he's not like any other boy?"

"I know because he actually cares for me! And... That means a lot to him..."

Her father said, "It doesn't matter. You're going to be discharged from the hospital today. We're going home tomorrow." She felt tears pool out of her eyes. "But..." Fijui couldn't find anything to say.

'They're taking me away from Sai?'

After she was discharged, she went to Sai's place to pick up her things. Sai had met her parents earlier, and they had gotten along quite well. That is, until he left. Then they had gotten into an argument.

Now here she was, waiting for him to open the door.

He checked who it was before pulling her in. "Well?" Fijui shook her head, tears slipping out of her eyes. He pulled her against him and stroked her short locks as she sobbed into his chest. "I- I don't want to g-go b-b-b-back!" she wailed to him.

Sai didn't reply, even though the news hit him with a crushing blow. They had spent so little time together. It was like an addiction. Now, as the redhead pressed herself against him, he wondered how they would get through this.

That's when reality hit him: they wouldn't.

The Hokage wasn't in charge; Fijui's parents were. She was going to go back to Iwa. That was final. He lifted her chin up and tried to offer her a real smile, but could barely manage his fake one. They stood in that position before she stood on her toes so their lips met.

The touch was becoming so familiar. Sai broke the kiss and said quietly, "Are you staying here tonight?" She hugged him. "Yes. I don't care what my parents say. If I only have a couple hours left, I want them to be with you."

Fingers interlaced, they walked to her room and packed her things before laying down. "Sai... You'll write?" Fijui asked, eyes closed. "Of course I will," he said, gently pushing her hair behind her ears. "Good... I'm going to miss you."

"I'll miss you, too."

She fell asleep, breathing on his chest. As he watched her, he suddenly felt very tired. His eyes closed and he was soon sleeping as soundly as she.

Meanwhile, her parents were arguing with Azora.

"Why can't you let her stay here?" the blond girl demanded. "I think this is more than a little crush! You should've seen the way she looked when she was talking about him..." Azora barely heard her mother say, "I don't want to push it. Not after Than." That's when she snapped, "So what are you going to do? Keep her from dating the rest of her life?"

"She's going back," her father stated. "I'm sure it'll hurt, but she'll be able to handle it. Now, what about you?" As the blond clenched her fist, she wondered what would become of her and Kione.

. . .

"Say goodbye to Konoha, Fijui. Where's Sai?"

The redhead didn't reply. She had said goodbye to him that morning. Even though she had asked him to see her off, he had refused. Fijui wasn't upset. Knowing Sai, he had his own reasons for doing things. Looking at her parents, she said, "He's not coming."

"Oh, Fijui," her father started, but she was already turning, a big smile on her face, even though there was a lot of pain in her eyes. "Is she okay?" asked the woman. The reply was a shrug of the shoulders.

They looked at each other and she said suddenly, "I missed you." He pulled his arm around her shoulders and embraced her. "I missed you, too. The break isn't working, anyway."

. . .

Now her parents are getting back together! Fijui's life is finally returning to normal!

Except for the fact that it's probably better off with Than gone and Sai there for her instead.

We all love him and her together...

'Kay, lemme know what you think.

Short chapter...

Next one PROBABLY will be longer, and there'll be an explanation for why Sai didn't see them off.

:3

It's going to be so ROMANTIC.
