"Anyone care to explain?"
I sighed. Why do I always get myself into situations like this? All 7 of us were in my mother's office. The four Akatsuki members sat in silence, Deidara and Itachi eyeing down Sasori and Kisame. Sasuke never looked so confused in his life. Honestly, I was confused too. Why would Itachi and Deidara stop Kisame and Sasori? I mean, isn't that what the whole point of the Akatsuki was? Hinata didn't look as frightened anymore.
"Well...", I began. Everyone in the room turned to me. All the Akatsuki members gave me a look. Deidara looked worried, Itachi just had a blank face (Guess that's where Sasuke gets it from), Kisame gave me a look that told me if I said the truth he would kill me, and Sasori looked like he was just gonna straight up puke. I then turned to see Hinata and Sasuke wide eyed. I guess lying is the only way to stay out of trouble
"Juliet, were you gonna say something?", my mother looked at me and then to Shizune, who was peeping from the door. I folded my legs on the chair I was sitting in and sighed again.
"Alright, so Kakashi sent Hinata and me downstairs to get some books from Shizune or something. Then these four-", I pointed to the Akatsuki, "were arguing about something. Out of my own sick enjoyment, I decided to hang around and watch. Hinata stayed with me, not wanting to separate I'm guessing. Sasuke came down a few minutes later, obviously to help me and Hinata with the books. Sasori decided to start shit wi-"
"Language.", my mom firmly said. I rolled my eyes.
"Sasori decided to irritate Sasuke and that resulted in them getting physical and that's when you showed up.", I explained as if it weren't a big deal. Everyone in the room had a silent breath of relief that I hadn't said the truth. My mom tapped a pen on her chin.
"I see.", she nodded and leaned back in her chair. She then leaned forward and rubbed her temples.
"Please don't make any severe punishments.", I gave her a sad look and looked at all the boys in the room.
"You're too nice...", Sasuke playfully pushed me and smirked. My mom looked at Sasuke and me and smiled. But then she looked closely at me and her smile dropped.
"What's that mark on your neck?", she asked me. What mark...? Oh, Sasori bit me way to harsh back there. Everyone glared at him and he shrunk into his seat. I self-consciously covered it with my hand.
"I don't know, a bug bite, rash, nothing important though. I woke up with it.", I shrugged off the topic. I felt everyone breathe another sense of relief. My mom nodded.
"Okay. As for punishments though, Deidara, Itachi, Kisame, you three have a lunch detention tomorrow for disrupting classes with all of your noise. Sasuke, Sasori, you have a lunch detention, an after school detention as well, and a phone call home. Well, not you Sasuke, your brother is already aware of what happened. You two girls have no punishment.", my mother decided.
"Mom, wait...", I bit my lip.
"Give me an after school detention too?"
"Why would you want one?", my mother raised an eyebrow.
"I dunno."
"Juliet, I can't give you one for no reason."
"So I have to have a reason?"
"Well, yes.."
I picked up a pen off her desk.
"If you throw that at someone, I'm not gonna give you a detention, I'm just gonna ground you for a few weeks."
I put the pen down.
"You can assist Sasuke and Sasori to the nurse if you would like.", she offered.
"Fine.", I mumbled.
"You all can get out now. Hinata, Shizune will help you with the books.", my mother said. We all stood up and got out of her office.
"I fucking hate all of this, can't I just got back to New York or something. I didn't ask for her to fucking adopt me.", I cursed under my breath. Sasuke seemed to be the only one to understand what I was saying because he gave me a sympathetic look and patted my back. I walked down to the nurses office with Sasuke and Sasori. I looked at both of them, and for the first time, I actually realized their injuries. Sasuke's lip was bleeding, and it looked like some bruises would be appearing on his very soon. Sasori, on the other hand, looked much worse. He was developing a black eye, had a bleeding lip as well, along with a red and swelled up nose.
"What happened?!", the school nurse asked as soon as she saw the two boys.
"They got into a fight.", I simply answered. "Punishments have already been given, so just fix them up."
"Okay, Sasori, I'm going to need some special tools to use on you, so you're gonna have to come with me. Sasuke you're gonna stay here, you're not that bad. Juliet, there is a first aid kit right there, so I'm trusting you to take care of Sasuke. Okay, Sasori, let's go.", she grabbed Sasori and left the room. I sighed and shut the door. Sasuke sat on the doctor's bed and sighed as well.
"Okay, Doctor, I'm in your hands.", Sasuke laughed. I rolled my eyes and smiled. I grabbed the first aid kit and walked up to him. I set the kit up next to him, and began working on his bleeding lip.
"Ow.", he whimpered.
"You brought this upon yourself. No one told you to start a fight with him."
"He was molesting you! I had to do something!"
"So you just left your girlfriend in the hands of some other guy!"
"YOU'RE MORE IMPORTANT!"
I shot up an eyebrow.
"Huh?", I blinked.
"Nothing...", Sasuke turned away from me.
"No, no, what did you say?", I asked.
"Nothing! Just hurry up so you can go run to Gaara!", Sasuke pushed my arms away from him.
"What does this have to do with Gaara?", I asked, completely dumbfounded.
"I don't know!"
"Have you been drugged, Sasuke?", I started laughing. Sasuke just looked at me, looking kinda hopeful.
"So you don't like him?"
"Who? Gaara?"
"Yeah."
"Hell yeah, I like him. He's one hell of a guy, but I don't know..."
"You don't know what?"
"He's not exactly my type..."
"So what's your type?", Sasuke raised an eyebrow. I just bit my lip.
"Oh, it's not important."
"Tell me!"
"Oh, look, I'm all done! Let's get to class!"
"Juliet!"
"Sasuke, why would you even care?", I threw my hands on my hips after putting the first aid kit away.
"I don't know..."
"That seems to be the phrase of the day.", I rolled my eyes. Sasuke made an unsure face.
"You mad at me?", he asked.
"To be honest, I don't even know what we're arguing about right now.", I admitted, walking up to him.
"Neither do I, but I don't like it when your angry!", Sasuke worried.
"Sasuke, chill. I'm not angry with you, or anyone.", I laughed. "Though, I have a favor to ask...or maybe a lot of favors."
"What is it?", he asked, confused.
"Well, I've been to everybody's houses so far, except yours. So can I come over today?", I asked, hoping he would say yes. Sasuke opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it. A few seconds later, he opened it again.
"Fine.", he caved in.
"Yaaaay!", I jumped and clapped like a five year old, then hugged him.
"So what are the other favors?", he then asked.
"I'll tell you when I'm over at your place."
"Alright, then."
After school, Sasuke and I walked alone. Everybody went to either do something with each other, or went home. It was absolutely freezing outside, so I looked pretty stupid trying to keep myself warm.
"Are you cold?"
No Sasuke. Not at all. I just find it fun to hug myself and shiver.
"A little bit.", I choked out.
"Well, we're almost there. You can wear my gloves in the meantime.", Sasuke stopped walking and pulled out a pair of black gloves from his backpack. My fingers were so cold, they were stiff. Sasuke probably guessed this because he slipped on the gloves for me.
"Thanks.", I smiled. Sasuke didn't answer instead, he smiled back. Like he actually smiled back. SASUKE UCHIHA JUST GAVE ME A GENUINE LEGIT SMILE. I was the cause of that smile too. I'm so happy. I can't believe I got him to smile. Though, of course the dumbass had to ruin the moment of my happiness by pushing me into some snow.
"Haha.", Sasuke mocked me. I gave him a shocked face. I didn't even bother to talk back. I just motioned him to come closer. He did. He took the bait. I grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him down next me. "HEY!", he cried out.
"Hahahaha.", I began to laugh. Sasuke just scowled at me and began attacking me with the snow. We were both laughing and I was fighting back, but someone kinda ruined it.
"Shouldn't you guys be doing things like this behind closed doors?"
Sasuke and I both turned to look at who was talking. It was Neji, and he had a very mischievous smirk on his face. Gaara and Kiba were behind him, looking at us as well. Kiba had a smirk on, it was just as sick and twisted as Neji's. Gaara just stood there with his usual look. Meaning it was more of a "Look at Me and You Die", kinda look. Looks like someone pissed him off. Sasuke looked at Neji.
"What the fuck are you talking about?", Sasuke asked. Neji just pointed at us.
"Look at your position.", was all he said. Sasuke looked back at me, and I looked up at him. Then it dawned on both of us. Sasuke was on top of me. I felt my cheeks getting hot and I just rolled my eyes.
"You're really dirty minded you know that.", I glared at Neji. He just shrugged. Sasuke got off of me and brushed snow off his jeans. I attempted to stand up, but I slipped backwards. "AH!", I shrieked, as I fell down backwards down a hill of snow. I eventually stopped rolling and looked back at the top of the hill, all four boys looked at me. "I'm fine!", I called to them. They all smiled in someway, and began talking to each other. I stood up and began climbing up the snow hill, trying to keep my balance. I eventually made it back to where the boys were. "Now I'm all wet.", I pouted. Neji cracked a smile.
"Neji, stop.", I desperately asked.
"I'm sorry.", he apologized.
"You have to admit though, you walked right into that one.", Kiba chimed in.
"Whatever.", I said, rolling my eyes, then smiling.
"Well Akamaru needs to be fed, so I'm gonna go.", Kiba said as a farewell, then ran across the street.
"Gaara, wanna come over?", Neji asked the redhead.
"Hn.", Gaara responded. Someone must've REALLY pissed him off.
"I'll take that as a yes.", Neji nodded. He then turned to Sasuke and me. "How about you two? Wanna join?"
"No thanks, we were actually gonna go to my place.", Sasuke explained. Neji winked. "Stop that.", Sasuke demanded. Neji just laughed.
"Alright, I'll see you guys tomorrow.", Neji said.
"Bye.", was all Gaara managed to say. They both crossed the street and walked towards Neji's house.
We eventually made it to Sasuke's house, and it was pretty decent. It didn't have to be too big because it's just him and Itachi anyways. Itachi wasn't home so Sasuke let us stay in the living room.
"Apple?", he offered me.
"Sure.", I took it from him and took a bite.
"Alright, so do wanna ask me for the favors now or later?", he asked sitting down next to me.
"Now, if you don't mind, and it's also gonna be a lot of ranting too.", I warned.
"Go ahead, you deal with my bullshit, so I'll deal with yours.", Sasuke smiled.
"Okay, so uh...well, I kinda like Gaara but I'm not sure, some people think I like you, but you're already with Hinata, and everyone keeps asking me to help them with their problems like recently, I have to get Temari and Shikamaru together, but they're still not together, but they will be soon enough. Also, Lee told me he's gay and he wants me to help him come out to everyone. Also this whole Akatsuki thing has got me stressed and after what happened today, I don't even know. I'm so tired of everything!", I let it all out. Sasuke's face went completely blank.
"Gaara and me...Shikamaru and Temari...Lee is gay?", was all he mumbled. I nodded and took another bite of the apple he gave me. Sasuke snapped out of whatever trance he was in. "So where do I come in during any part of this?", he asked me.
"Well, I kinda just needed someone to let it all out too. I know I could've Naruto, but he doesn't have as much involvement in this as you.", I explained. Sasuke just nodded.
"So how do you want me to help?", Sasuke asked another question. I sighed.
"For the most part, just make sure Kisame and Sasori stay away from me. After all, you promised you'd protect me from them since my first day of school.", I smiled at him. He looked at me with a half smile.
"Forever and always.", he nodded.
"Oh, and go buy Hinata a teddy bear or something.", I frowned at him. Guilt washed over his face.
"Yeah, I guess I kinda owe her an apology. I hope she understands."
"Understands what exactly?"
"Oh, uh nothing."
The front door opened. Sasuke and I both spun our heads around and faced the door. Itachi came in and shut the door behind him. Sasuke and I stayed quiet. Itachi kicked off his shoes and finally saw us. His face showed a little shock, but it stayed pretty much blank overall. Itachi sighed and slowly made his way up to us. Sasuke gripped my arm when Itachi stood right in front of where we sat.
"Juliet, Sasuke, I'm sorry."
...What? Sasuke let his mouth hang open a bit, from surprise I'm guessing. Itachi just lifted his index finger and middle finger then reached for Sasuke. I had no idea what he was doing, but then he poked Sasuke right in the center of his forehead. Sasuke let his mask drop completely and let his shock over take his face. Itachi just smiled and walked off into his room.
