HEY EVERYONE! Here's half of the 7th chapter. Why half? Because I've got a lot of reports and projects due this week, and examination week just ended..oh and I have an awful writer's block so pretty please bear with me T^T
I had trouble uploading my file on the documents, so I simply edited the 6th chapter file and pasted the 7th chapter. (Well, half of it)
--In this chapter, I'll be featuring a bit of Lasi's POV. Basically, the seventh chapter will cover Akemi's and Lasi's POVs and Lasi's thoughts of the Dei-Akemi break up.
I'll make the second half soon. REALLY soon. I just need tips on how to remove a writer's block.
I am really sorry for my shortcomings.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Okay, here's half of chapter 7!
LASI'S POV
I was silent the whole trip with Deidara. I felt bad leaving Akemi…I knew she loved him but I swore to myself that I'll do anything I can to make him mine…but she has Sasori, right? Isn't that enough?
We arrived at the site where we'd sleep for the night. I set up our tent.
"Lasi, you were quiet the whole time…are you okay?" Deidara asked me.
"O-oh, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something." I said.
"Okay, but if something's wrong, just let me know, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good. Now try smiling."
I gave him a small smile and went back to setting up the tent. I wanted to tell him what's wrong, but I don't think if it's the right time…we might get distracted. We still have an important mission. I finished setting up the tent now, and we were ready to hit the hay.
"Lasi, I still think there's something wrong. Come on, you can tell me." Deidara said.
"Well…I just feel bad about leaving Akemi like that. It's just plain wrong." I explained.
"Leaving her was my choice. You don't have to worry about that."
"Do you still love her?"
"I don't know."
"Why not?"
"I just don't…I'm still confused."
"But how will I know if you really love me if you're still having second guesses?"
"I went with you, didn't I?"
"Well, yes…but other than that?"
He moved closer to me, caressed my cheek and gave me a kiss on the lips.
"Okay, I believe you." I said with a small smile.
+++AT THE BASE+++
AKEMI'S POV
"Whoa, you're his niece?" I asked, shocked.
"Yes." The girl replied. She is so pretty!
"What makes you wander here?"
"Uncle said he wanted to see me and how I've improved."
"Improved with your fighting skills?"
"Not necessarily. It's more about my talent."
"Which is…?"
"Singing and playing the guitar."
"Did your uncle teach you that?"
"Yes."
Singing and playing the guitar? Leader-sama SINGS and PLAYS THE GUITAR?
"Wow." I said in astonishment.
"Why?" She asked.
"It's just that he's so mysterious and quiet, I never expected anything like this."
"Oh, I forgot. That's supposed to be a secret. Don't tell anyone he's the one who taught me, 'kay?"
"Okay."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Good."
"So you sing, huh?"
"Yep."
"Can you sing for me?"
"Sure! But I need my guitar. I'll go get it downstairs first."
"Okay, I'll wait here."
Then, she came back and started strumming, then she sings. Her eyes changed from brown to blue.
I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in love
He swears as he runs his fingers
Through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs
Her eyes changed colors again. This time, they turned green.
And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if he asks me if I love him
I'd lie
I started clapping.
"Bravo! Bravo!"
"Thank you" She smiles and bows.
"You have such an amazing voice! And your guitar skills are off the hook!"
"Thanks"
"But, I noticed that your eyes change color. How'd you do that?"
"Well, they change regarding to my emotions."
"Cool!"
Then, someone knocks on the door.
"Come in!" I said.
Konan entered the room.
"I heard someone singing." She said with a small smile. "So, you finally came, Tsukiko. Your uncle is waiting for you in his office. I see you've gotten better."
"Oh, thanks oba-chan!" She grinned.
"She's so awesome, Konan-sama!" I said.
"Yeah, she was taught by the best." Konan replied. "Come, Tsukiko. Let's not keep your uncle waiting."
"Okay!" Tsukiko said. But before going out the door, she ran back to me. "I forgot to ask for your name!"
I extended my hand. "I'm Akemi."
She took it. "Akemi--that's a nice name!"
"Thank you." I smiled.
She walked back to Konan. She's quite a strange kid, but she's really cool, too. I can't wait to get to know her more.
I'm really sorry it's way short...go ahead and flame it.
It deserves to be flamed! T.T
