Chapter 14

I own nothing and this chapter sucks!

I don't know why, but this chapter seemed to take me forever to do. I am sorry for the very long wait and I am very sorry that this chapter is terrible.

Sasori's POV

I sighed and looked up at the ceiling as I started my story. I had no clue why Deidara wanted to know what actually happened, but he deserved to know. It was, and still is, an ongoing fued between his nephew and his teacher. I closed my eyes as I spoke, and I let memories of the past flow over me. They brought me back to when I was 14.

"Hey Sasori! Hurry up!" Haki yelled.

"I'm coming, but not everything has to be a race." I laughed at my best friends childish behavior. We were walking towards the school, and we were going to make it on time the same as everyday, but Haki always wanted to make a race out of it.

"Fine, fine." Haki said as he stopped to wait for me. "You know your not that fun."

"Neither are you but you don't see me pointing it out."

"Thanks a lot."

"No problem." I chuckled as we walked onto school grounds. As we were walking through the hall I felt something tap my shoulder and I turned. It was Konan, a girl in our year with short blue hair. She was looking at me with a smile on her face and soft amber eyes.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Hey Sasori." She caid in a soft voice. Haki stopped to look back at me. He looked at me with a question swimming in his eyes.

"Don't worry Haki." I said to my friend. "I will catch up with you." I saw a disapproving look cross in his eyes, but he nodded anyway's and walked off. I glanced back at the girl in front of me. "What do you want, Konan?" I asked.

"Why do you always have to be so strict." Konan said with a roll of her eyes. "I need a favor."

"With what?"

"Pein. He's getting so distant from everyone now a days, and I don't know why. We used to share everything together, but now he won't even answer a simple question with a straight answer." She said, worried.

"Why talk with me about it?" I asked, my voice as emotionless as ever. "You know that I rarely talk with any of your group. Only you and Kakuzu, sometimes Kisame."

"Please." Konan pleaded. "Pein has been my closest friend for years. He can't just start ignoring me for no reason. I figured that you might help me."

"If you want to I will talk with him, but that's all I will do. If he doesn't want to talk with me than that will be the end of it." Konan looked relieved.

"Thank you, Sasori. I will make sure that he will talk to you and this means so much to me." She looked around, and then gave me a quick hug. She pulled away with a smile and walked off.

I shook my head as I watched her go. I was pretty sure that I knew what was bothering Pein, even though I didn't talk to him much. He had a crush on Konan, a huge one I might add, but he was too afraid to ask her out. It was obvious if you looked enough. Also last week Konan asked me out and I accepted. We were now a couple that barely anybody in the school knew about because we didn't want to tell the school about it. I really could care less about going out with Konan, but I might as well.

"Hey Sasori what did that blue bitch want?" Haki asked as I sat down next to him in homeroom. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye. Konan's friends knew about our relationship, but I refused to tell Haki. He seemed like he would over react for some reason. I think it is about him not wanting his friends to abandon him, like his sister did.

"Haki, don't call Konan a bitch. What did she ever do to you?" I said. I might not have cared if Konan was my girlfriend or not, but she was still a good person.

"What? I was just asking a question." Haki complained with a smirk and I rolled my eyes.

"She wanted to ask me a question. I don't know why she asked me it though." I stated. "Also you called her a bitch and she didn't do anything to be called that."

"Dude, why are you protecting her? I admit that she did nothing, but she hangs out with those insane people."

"I will get back to you on that." I said. I stood up and walked to the wall, I leaned against it. Haki followed me.

"Sorry dude." He said. "I didn't mean to make you mad. You wanna guess where I went last night?"

"Where?" I didn't really want to know, but what the hell?

"You know how last year I went to that chick who I lost my virginity to?" I nodded.

"You mean that whore." I mutter.

"Yes, that whore. I went to her again last night to get laid again. It was fucking sweet."

"How can you just go to a whore, and act like nothing happened." I shook my head. I didn't know who he was anymore. Sometimes he just acted so distant, but other times I couldn't get away from him.

"Sasori you really need to lighten up."

"What caused you to go this time?"

"My sister called last night."

"You can't just go to a whore and hope to fix everything."

"At least I get my frustrations out on somebody." Haki mutters.

"Fine. Do as you please." I said as the bell rang. I let Haki walk in front of me, and I made sure that I was the last one out of the room. I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I looked up to see that it was Pein.

"Konan said that you wanted to talk to me. Why?" He said. I shook my head.

"We are not going to talk about where everybody can hear us." He nodded in understanding and led me to the old science room. He led me through the door. Nobody used this place anymore.

"Now what did you want to talk to me about?" Pein demanded.

"Konan wanted me to talk to you."

"And you agreed. Why?"

"She is my girlfriend. It would make her happy." I said. I knew that it would get to him, and I was right. A hurt look crossed his face. It was barely noticable, but if you looked close enough you could see it. He hid the look as quickly as it came. I continued. "It hurts her that your not talking with her. She thinks that your ignoring her, and she's worried."

"Why would she ask you to do it." Pein muttered.

"She thinks that you don't want to talk with her anymore. She told me that you haven't given her straight answers for the past few days. She doesn't want you to be mad with her so she decided to not talk to you nd have me do it. I know what your hiding Pein, even if Konan doesn't."

"How do you know?"

"It's obvious that you have feelings for her, and when she asked me out you felt betrayed. When it's with other peoples' relationships she knows them well, but when it comes to somebody liking her she doesn't see it. To tell you the truth we haven't really done anything because we don't have that many feelings for each other."

"If you don't have feelings for her why are you dating her?" He mutters.

"Your clueless." I stated and his eyes widen in disbelief. "She has feelings for you Pein. You, not me, you."

"Then why did se ask you out?"

"Neither of us has gone out with anybody before. Most people think that it is weird if you haven't dated at least 1 person in your life. We have already discussed this between each other. We might not have feelings for each other other than friends, but this way we have dated at least one person, and a person that we trust."

"Your using her." Pein accuses.

"And she is using me." I said. "We figured that maybe one day our feelings might grow stronger, but she has feelings for you." I turn a stern look on him.

"How do you know that?" Pein asks, but I can tell that he had a little gimmer of hope in his eyes. People at school say that he was an emotionless bastard, but I could still read him like an open book.

"When people who care about you very much are talking about you they get this foreign look in their eyes." I said.

"So your saying that you want us to be together?"

"Honestly?"

"Yes."

"I could care less if we were together or not. Let alone if you were with her. It would make you both happy, and I would rather not be in a relationship if the person I was with didn't want to be with me."

"So your saying-" Jesus christ! For one of the most feared kids at school, you'd think he would be smarter than this.

"I mean you can ask her out, you fucking idiot." I said.

"That was harsh. Also watch your language with me."

"It was called for, and what are you going to do? Beat me up?" Just because I was shorter than him didn't mean that I was weaker.

"You know what Akasuna, your all right."

"Am I now?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Pein said. "I guess I was letting my jealousy fuel the way I saw you."

"You think." I mutter dryly. The guy seemed so sure of himself and smart during school, but he is a complete idiot.

"Maybe we could put this incident behind us."

"Possibly."

"How would you like to hang out with my friends and I today at lunch?" I was surprised by the question. Why would he offer me this?

"Why would you offer me that? You never offer that of anyone." I wasn't afraid to voice my thoughts.

"Well we might become good friends one day. Also I think that you would get along with some, or most of our group."

"I know that Konan, Kakuzu, and Kisame are in the group along with Zetsu. Are there any others that I should know of?"

"There are some students in the elementary that hang out with us."

"Who?" It depended on who was in the group. I knew that Haki wouldn't like it, but he would have to deal if I chose to join.

"Itachi, Tobi, Madara, and Hidan."

"Why not?" I said. The only ones that I heard in those names that I wouldn't like would have to be Tobi and maybe Hidan.

"You know where we sit, right?"

"Yes." I replied, and Pein smirked.

"Good. We will see you there, and Sasori I think that you and I are going to be great friends." With that he left the old room, and I followed behind him slowly hoping that I wouldn't live to regret my choice.

"Hey Sasori. Where are you heading?" Haki asked as I started to head towards the tree at the end of the clearing. His amber eyes showed confusion and some hurt and accusation within them.

"I agreed to hang out with Pein, Konan, and their friends today." I responded as I looked back at him.

"What! Why?" Haki demanded.

"Why not?" I shrugged.

"Because they are freaks."

"Just because they might look and act different than others doesn't mean that they are freaks."

"Yeah and I'm a pickle. Your not serious, right?"

"I am serious, Haki. Just because we are best friends doesn't mean that I can't be friends with other people."

"They are not people." Haki said.

"Yes they are. Even if they don't look, or act like it." I reply and turn my back on my best friend. "I will see you in class later." I said and walked to where Pein and the others were sitting. I could practically feel the glares that Haki was shooting at me.

I didn't tell him that much of what happened. I didn't see the point in telling Deidara what the last straw was and how we grew apart. All I know is that he seemed to let it drop for now.

"So that's why your not friends anymore, un." Deidara said slowly.

"Yeah." I said.

"I can't believe one thing though, un."

"What is that?"

"That you and Konan used to date, un."

"Indeed we did, and because of that I am great friends with the Akatsuki members."

"You seemed out of it when you were talking, un."

"Memories." I said. I smiled slightly, not by the memories, but because Deidara seemed to mainly forget about what almost happened to him. Just seeing him smile made me want to smile.

"Good or bad, un?"

"A little bit of both." I answered and Deidara's smile grew. That smile made him look a little cute.

Wow. Cute. I did not think that. Sasori Akasuna does not think things are cute, and especially not 16 year olds.

I told you that it sucked. In the last chapter I said I was going to make it up to you, but I don't think that I did. I am sorry about that. I hope you can all forgive me.

I have 16 days left in the school year and I turn my computer in on the 27th of this month! I want to try to get this story done or as many one-shot's as I can done before I have to turn it in.
