Chapter Twenty-Four: Love is Surprising

"...you're sure this will work?"

"Of course it will! Trust me!"

"I don't even know why I'm here..."

"Shut up, teme!"

"Hn..."

Currently, the three of us, Naruto, Sasuke and I, Kai, were crouched beside each other under a huge sakura tree. It was almost an hour after school, yet none of us had returned home. Wondering what we were doing? Well...to tell the truth, right now, we were stalking a certain dark-haired boy whom I had somehow fallen for. Naruto told me to start stalking him...and he forced his boyfriend to follow us everywhere. As much as I hated the Uchiha, I have to say, I kinda feel sorry for him right now.

"...geez...this is getting annoying..." Sasuke growled for the nth time that evening, shuffling on his feet lightly. "Why am I here again?"

"Just stop grumbling, teme! If you don't, you won't be getting any tonight...and the whole week!" Naruto snapped.

Sasuke let out a squeak of surprise, and I could only sigh and feel sorry for him silently. Then, all of a sudden, my hawk-like vision caught sight of the short-haired brunette that we had been stalking for the whole day. I held my breath once he was in my vision, and as I trailed him with my lime-coloured eyes, I noticed that he was sweating and panting a little. I continued to watch him - until he suddenly stopped walking and turned his head towards where the three of us were hiding. I gasped in shock.

'Oh my God, did he see us?!' I thought and let out a squeak when he approached us. 'Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! He's going this way! Gyah, he saw us! He saw us!!!!!! No!!!! What should I do?! What should I do?! Naruto!' "Naruto!"

I widened my eyes when there was no reply from Naruto. I turned around and tried to search for either Naruto or Sasuke - but neither of them were anywhere around me. I almost screamed when I realised this, and the fact that my crush was nearing me did not help me one bit - it only made it worse. I tried to scramble away, but as I was just about to get onto my feet and run, a pair of hands were placed firmly upon my shoulders, stopping me from moving. I gulped.

"...hey."

And without thinking any further, I let out a rather loud scream and scuttled away from him - or at least, tried to. But the pair of hands on my shoulders stopped me from doing so, and I could only struggle under his strong yet gentle grip. Unconsciously, I began trembling - trembling so hard that my whole body and his hands were practically shaking. I couldn't bring my head up to look at him, so I just stared at the ground underneath me as my body shook, when all of a sudden, I heard him chuckle.

"...it's been quite a while since we last talked to each other, hasn't it?" he said casually, crouching down before me. "...how are you, Kai-kun?"

"I-I-I..." I stuttered, not finding the right word to say.

Another chuckle escaped his mouth. "What's wrong? The little fox scared of the big bad wolf?"

"...o-o-of course...of course not!"

"Oh really?" he chuckled - only this time, it was a dark, evil chuckle that made my hair stood up in horror. "...why are you trembling like a leaf then, hm? Kai-kun...tell me, won't you? Why are you being like this right now?"

I wanted to reply, but the hand that was slowly trailing up my arm made me shiver in surprise and pleasure, and all of my words were lost in a puddle of goo - together with a melted me. He smirked, continued to molest me with his faint, tingling touches across my arm up to my shoulder and went straight to my sensitive ear - and I let out a mewl and shivered. He chuckled upon hearing my mewl, and continued to play with my ear as I moaned and mewled out in pleasure.

"...you sure like being touched here, don't you?" he chuckled, fondling my ear further. "I wonder which other parts of you that you like being touched as well..."

"A-ah...S-S-Sai....p-please...stop..." I whimpered, grabbing his hand to stop his movements.

"Hm? But I thought you're enjoying it..."

"N-no....no!"

I pushed his hand away and glared lightly at him, much to his surprise. I then looked away and sighed, both in anger and slight embarrassment. I had always known, Sai was always the lecherous one, but I didn't care. I didn't know why I fell for him, but I didn't care. But I did care about my feelings, and the fact that he had to know about it - and I was determined to tell him about it, one way or another. I didn't know why, but it came up to me all of a sudden and I had made my decision - I would tell him about my feelings that very day.

"Sai..." I called, and found my throat dry. "I...I-I...I need...to tell you something..."

"Hm? What is it?" he stared at me with his usual stare, his eyes never leaving me.

I inhaled deeply and looked straight into his onyx eyes. "I...I just want you to know...I like you..."

"Huh-"

"-wait! Just...just let me finish myself first! You know...since the other day, the first day I was in this school...the first day that we met each other...I've fallen for you.... I know it sounds stupid, but I really, really liked you...and I still do! I tried to push it away, 'cause I didn't know if you like me as well or not...but I just couldn't. So...I just want to tell you...that...no matter what, I will still like you...love you.... I...I love you...Sai..."

And at the very same time, my tears dripped down my cheeks unknowingly. I gasped in surprise and tried my hardest to stop the liquid from continuing to fall down, but they kept on coming out from the corner of my eyes. Then, all of a sudden, Sai hugged me gently. I widened my eyes lightly, surprised with his sudden action. After a few seconds, he let go of me and looked - no, gazed at me. I blushed and tried to look away, but my eyes just wouldn't budge from him and his mesmerising pair of eyes.

"....Sai?"

"Sh....don't cry anymore..." he said softly, kissing my tears away. "...don't let this passionately burning fire be washed away by the warm salty sea..."

I blinked a few times trying to process what he was saying and what he actually meant by it. "...w-what do you mean...by that?"

"What do I mean? ...you want me to show it?" he asked, smiling a little.

I stared at him and nodded lightly, signalling that I wanted to know. He smiled wider and reached for my jaw, tilting my head up a little. Then, much to my surprise, he leaned forward and placed his lips upon mine, his eyes closed and his body pressing mine. I widened my eyes again before giving up into the kiss, shutting my eyes as I pressed myself against his broad chest. The kiss was short and sweet, yet it gave a deep meaning to me. After a few seconds, we drew apart, and I slowly opened back my eyes and gazed into his.

"Thank you...thank you...for falling for me, for liking me...for loving me... Thank you...Kai..."

"...won't you say...you love me too?" I looked at him, hoping.

He shook his head and planted a kiss on my temple. "I won't say it...not before I really love you.... But don't worry...I'll think about it really soon..."

"...okay...I'll be waiting for you then..."

(hiss) I was just about to go crazy about how great this was and everything...and my dad just had to go and ruin the whole mood! I'm really pissed off right now! What the fucking hell is his problem anyway?! It's like nothing that I do is right! Grr...I hate this so much! Nonetheless, I just want to say sorry for the delay, and...well, this chappy was a little too fluffy for my liking, but I hope you guys liked it. But anyways, the next chapter would be another SaixKai chappy, with a little surprise at the end! Wait for it okay, guys? Okay then! Woot! Ja ne, minna-san!
