Chapter 7 High school Drama
"Why did you pull me out here?" I asked. The club doors practically blocked and closed the hard rock music within the club. Deidara wore a white shirt that had come from Tilly's and blue jeans. His hair looked it had been layered but it was still in it's usual style he wears everyday. I have to admit
"Ever since that day in McDonalds, I can't stop but wonder something." Deidara began, getting dangerously close. We were only inches apart. His breath smelled sober but that didn't mean he didn't have a shot or so.
"Wonder what?"
"This, un." His lips met mine. They were soft and tasted good. I didn't want to pull away. It felt so good but it felt wrong. I didn't want to but I pulled away.
"I'm sorry………I shouldn't have let you……I have a boyfriend………back in Konoha……..I'm sorry." I whimpered and ran to my black Monte Carlo (Sasori and I brought different cars so there would be no suspicion. Just like the Akatsuki didn't wear their cloaks anymore). I turned the ignition; tears fell, and pulled out of the parking lot. I looked over at the club doors and I noticed Sasori. He looked pissed. I shook my head and sped away.
I pulled my Green EnV out of pocket, wiped my tears away and called Neji. I never call unless something is wrong so by the end of the first ring, he picked up the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Something happened. I don't want to talk about it. Is it okay if I drive to Konoha? I really need to talk to Shikamaru. It's super important." I said. All of it was true but it did have a tad bit of a lie in there. I hoped he didn't hear me lying through my teeth.
"Sure. You have extra clothes in that expensive car and a charger for your phone?" I could tell Neji was worried.
"Yeah. I'll call you tomorrow morning." I said and hung up. I checked the clock. 10:15. I growled and reluctantly called Shikamaru. After the seventh ring he picked up. I didn't even let him say anything. I hung up. The phone slipped from my fingers. I felt terrible. I really liked Sasori. How could I have let Deidara kiss me? I slammed my fore head into my steering wheel. The December air ripped at my hair, making it lash around like a dangerous weapon, and my arms. Then something occurred to me that made me pull to the shoulder and hyperventilate.
I think I like Sasori so much………..so much that I think I'm in love……..
With Deidara and Sasori
"Damn it!" Deidara screamed and punched the brick wall. His hand throbbed in agony but he didn't care right then.
Sasori came running out. "Where's Suzume?"
"She ran off right after I kissed her."
"You kissed her! I thought you were just going to ask her out!?" Sasori yelled and smacked him.
"Whatever! She ran off because of her secret boyfriend!" Deidara snapped, swinging his fist at Sasori, who had dodged. Then he stopped, like Deidara had figured out something. "You have a girlfriend you won't let me meet and she's got a secret boyfriend. That's no coincidence……..Suzume is the girl you've been dating, un!?"
Sasori took in a sharp breath. "Deidara, don't freak."
Deidara blew up like his art. "Don't freak!! You knew how much I liked her! You knew and yet you were 2 dating behind my back?! UN!?"
"Deidara, clam down. I returned her music to her that day and things just feel into play. Dei, I really, really, really like her. Fuck, I think I'm in love with Suzume." Sasori had a hard but in love expression on his face. Seeing and hearing that made Deidara flip. He threw several balls of exploding clay at his ex-best friend. Sasori tried to dodge but he got hit with most of them. One ball of clay got dangerously close to his eyes and exploded. Sasori had just barely managed to avoid the exploding ball, by falling backward, slamming himself into asphalt, when Pein and Konan walked over.
Pein wore the Akatsuki cloak, the sleeves scrunched up and zipped all the way down, revealing his plain black T, black jeans pulled low so you could see his black and pink heart boxers. Konan wore sexy red dress that was low-cut and knee-high boots.
"What the fuck are you 2 doing!?" Pein snarled. Sasori was on the pavement, face covered in gunpowder and Deidara had a crazed look on his face. "She's driving off and you 2 are fighting!? Go after her! I'm tired of waiting for you 2 grab her! Once you two have tracked her down, take her down and hold her somewhere until the rest of us can get there."
"Once we have her, what do we do with her?" Sasori asked. He was worried that Pein would say "Whatever you want" or something along those lines. Sasori didn't want to hurt Suzume. Like he said before, Sasori may be in love with the girl. It's only been 2 months since they were dating but Sasori felt that she had completed his life. Just thinking about her made him smile. His mood always brightened when her name came up.
"I don't care! JUST GO GET HER!!" Pein yelled and stalked inside the club with Konan following.
Sasori turned to Deidara who still looked crazed. "The first one to get her first gets her heart." He snarled and ran to his baize Oldsmobile. Sasori ran to his own car, a red Toyota truck. He sped away, determined to get to his girl first. He picked up his phone, called her and spilled in his blu-tooth.
"Please, Suzume. If you love me like I love you then pick-up!" He screamed into the receiver. He urged her to answer. After the 10th ring, she picked it up, his heart pounded as she croaked a hello.
With Suzume
"Sasori!" I tried to sound excited but my voice croaked.
"They're after you. Pein just sent me and Deidara to capture you. We're racing to get you." Sasori yelled.
A sudden chill went down my spine and a reluctant, sharp intake of icy air. "What do I do, Sasori? I really don't be apart of a gang. I'm trying to get your ass out also. What do I do?" I sounded so frail.
"Calm down, Su. Everything is going to be all right. Do you remember where the 'puppet Sparrows home' is?" Sasori asked.
"Of course!" I beamed. That was where we hid at times. He named it after the both of us; the "puppet" for him and the "sparrow" for me. It was old shack we fixed up at the beginning of our relationship with wood, furniture, a bathroom, somehow a kitchen and a bedroom but it was also really small. Neither of us has been there for 2 months (unless it was to stock it up with food and other shit) but we used to hide there so many times. A few times we stayed over-night. Now we hang out at Sasori's apartment. He finally moved out of his parent's house and moved into the single bedroom apartment 2 months ago.
"Meet me there. I'll be there as soon as possible. Stay quiet, stay low and make sure no body is following you. Eat something also. I had restocked it with no-perishables a month ago but something small. I'll buy some McDonalds for us. I know what you eat, don't worry."
I sighed of relief. "Alright. Be careful."
"I will."
"I love you."
He took a sharp in take of air like that surprised him. "You be careful. Remember, it's not just us who is after you and you're ability. The 'Oto-clan' has been stocking you ever since you've arrived here."
"I will." I said and hung up. I was still parked at the shoulder of the highway. I 's slammed on the accelerator and sped to the edge of Rain, where "Puppet Sparrow's home" was located. As I drove, began to remember what really sparked our relationship.
Flashback……
I swung open my locker door and pushed my fifty-pound back-pack inside. I gathered my books, notebooks, ect. And I clumsily dropped everything onto my uncovered toes.
So, of course, I bend down and picked everything up……..and I noticed there was a red, folded piece of paper under my back-pack.
I pulled it out from under the load, stood back up, shoved everything that I just picked up onto the top shelf, and opened the paper. It looked like a letter.
I leaned against my locker door as I read the paper. It wasn't a letter but a poem. It read:
I've been watching you all this time
Staying very quiet.
Acting like I hate you
Never thought you'd buy it.
You don't know me
But I'd like you to
Because, though you may not see it,
I'm in love with you
Meet me tonight by the river
-Silent lover.
I was flattered. The thought that went through my head: What am I going to tell Neji when I have to leave?
"What's that!?" Konan screamed next to me. She always tries sneak behind me but I always could hear. I let her read over my shoulder for a minute.
I smirked because I knew who it was. We were going out for a few weeks. My heart fluttered. "Nothing." I say dreamily. I slide the poem into my pocket, grabbed my books, slammed my locker door and headed to math. I passed Sasori and patted my pocket. He smiled but it fades quickly because he was with his gang. His gang that was lead by my first hour class but that didn't stop us. I couldn't stop smiling until I went to Math classroom where Hidan was waving for me to sit next to him. I took a slow intake air and sat very far from him.
End of flashback
I smiled as I turned off my head lights and activated my Byakugon to see. The river came into view. The river where Sasori and I shared our first kiss. I stomped on the accelerator. I needed to hide. I pressed hard on the brakes and glided out of my nice car. I looked around with the Byakugon to see if anyone was around. When I knew no one was, I did my famous shadow jutsu. When I arrived at the 'house', I turned back into me and ran inside. I locked the door and turned on the lights. I once was so strong and now I can't even stand to be alone.
I looked around to see it was dirty, dusty, and desperately needed to be clean. I sighed, changed into pants and cleaned the entire place. While putting the sheets on the bed, I began to think about my last conversation with Sasori.
'I wonder why he didn't say it back. I thought we were great. Maybe he isn't ready say it yet. That's it. He just isn't ready. Either he isn't ready or I'm a total idiot and I'm just a thing to him. His longest thing. Of course he doesn't love me. He's in a gang that's trying to control the world! Why would he love me the way I love him. No, that isn't true. ' I thought. I sighed and went back into the kitchen to grab a small snack. I stuffed several crackers in to my mouth. But the same negative thoughts gnawed the back of head where I had attempted to put them. The thoughts gnawed there like rats were chewing back there. They gnawed and crawled back to the front of my mind until it was all that I was thinking. When my cell phone rang I jumped ten-feet into the air. I shook out the thoughts and answered.
"Yeah?"
"You called. Are you alright? I answered but you hung up. You don't do that unless something wrong?" Shikamaru's voice yelled.
"I'm fine. Something happed. Don't want to talk about it. And everything is fine now. By the way, I'm at your place if Nii-san calls."
"Girl, you became frail when you left here. Maybe you should move back here. My parents and I will be happy to have you. I want the old, confident, brave Suzume. That I'm-not- able -meet-boyfriend of yours has spoiled your ass!"
"We've talked about this. I can't come back to Konoha until Neji has to be relocated back. And he has not spoiled me! I'm still my brave, confident, the toughest piece of ass you can find, old self."
"And that's what I love about you. If I wasn't gay, I would have stolen you away from your boyfriend a long time go."
Shikamaru has been confused for awhile now and he doesn't have cell phone. "So, you're finally out? That's great!" I was thrilled he went down the 'circle' path, as I called it. I could hear Sasori's big bulky truck come up to the park spot several miles away.
"Yeah and, get this, someone asked me out."
"Sweet but I have to go. The bf is coming up with junk food. Come visit next week and I'll let you meet him."
"Suzume, you're the best friend a gay guy can ask for. I'll ask if I can borrow the car. Talk later?"
"Yeah. I know. Bye. " I said and hung up as Sasori came through the small shed door. Mt mood went from freaked and pissed to energetic.
"You cleaned up?"
"I got bored. Food!" I said and lunged for the McDonalds bag. I was staving but he pulled the bag away. "Food." I said, kid-like.
"Who were you on the phone with?"
"Shikamaru! Now give me the junk that'll destroy my liver!" He gave me a look. I rolled my eyes and showed him the call history. When he took my phone out of my hand I snatched the food.
"Hey!" Sasori said and closed my EnV and pocketed it. He wrapped his arms around my chest. I shoveled food into my mouth. When I finished my burger I looked up.
"What's wrong?" I said, sounding like a little kid.
"Nothing. Just thinking." Sasori said and released me to go to the kitchen.
I wiped my mouth, swished some coke into my mouth and went into the kitchen. I wrapped my arms around his waist. My eyes closed as I leaned against his back. "Whatcha thinking about?"
He turned around to face me. My arms remained around his waist. Sasori placed his hands on the back of my neck. His hands were sweaty, like he was nervous about something. I inhaled his axe as he spoke. "You're all I think about." Pause. I got nervous. My heart began pound in my ears.
"Did you mean what you said? Before we hung up. Did you mean it?"
My heart stopped. "You really have to ask that? Sasori, you're all I want to think about. Of course I love you."
A smile came across his face. Sasori's lips came half an inch to my lips, hovering. His breath tickled my nose. 'What is he waiting for?'
"I love you too." He whispered. A smile came across my own face, tilted my head, and parted my lips and Sasori's mouth met mine.
A/N: Alright guys! Here it is. Sorry it's been awhile. Internents been down and I had to change a lot about the story so it can make more sense. Sorry the rating had to go up. The next chapter is going to be a reason.
