Chapter 5 Freak Show
"Woah!" Naruto exclaimed looking around. "This is where you live?"
"Yup." I sighed and walked him to the door, Damen following us, I really feared the idea of him being here, but... What else could I do?
I opened the door where Itachi, Deidara, Hidan, and Sasori were waiting impatiently.
"Everyone," I started as we entered. " This is Naruto."
Naruto smiled and waved. "Hi, I'm happy to meet all of you." He chimed, still clinging on to the end of my striped long-sleeve shirt.
"Nice of you to come." Itachi smiled and walked up to us. He took Naruto's hand and placed a gentle kiss on it.
My eye twitched.
Hidan bounced up and started to make a move over to Naruto and I until, faster than I can believe, Deidara shot up and took Naruto in his arms. I must say, Deidara, I am very impressed.
"No worries, Naru-Chan~! I won't let these scary old men eat you, hm." He squealed and started twirling Naruto around in a deadly hug.
"Sas-uke!" Naruto choked out, "Save me!"
I quickly snatched Naruto out of Deidara's arms before he knew what happened and held MY blonde close... Though, he isn't quite mine yet...
Hidan smirked and walked over with Sasori. "So, you are Naruto."
"Uh, yeah." Naruto said and held on tighter. God damn, he really was cute.
"YOU ARE SO CUTE!" Hidan chimed and TOOK him from my arms.
"AAGH~!" Naruto let out and looked at Hidan terrified. I might just kill "Mommy-dear".
"Hidan~." I cooed darkly, the room was silent.
"Hm?" He looked at me.
"Give. Him. Back." I growled, my hands clenched tight enough that I was bleeding and the blood that escaped my body began to swirl around me in rather threatening manner.
Hidan's eyes were wide, I could tell this scared him, he never understood my nickname of the "Devil Prince".
"Okay." He whispered and set Naruto down. Naruto walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder, he shuddered as some of my body touched him.
"Sasuke."
"Hn?"
"You need anger management."
"Hn."
"Oh no." Deidara said.
"Huh?" Naruto and Hidan piped in unison.
"Sasu-chan has reduced himself to Uchiha-speak, hm."
"Uchiha-speak?" Naruto, Hidan, and Sasori questioned.
"When you get nothing more than a monotonous syllable as a response to everything, hm."
"Hn." I hummed when they all, besides Itachi, looked at me.
"How long can this last?" Sasori asked.
"Sometimes a few months, hm." Deidara informed.
"MONTHS?!" Naruto exclaimed. I believed all our vampire ears should have bleed then.
"He won't do it now." Itachi smirked.
"Why?" Naruto asked.
"You are here." My brother said plainly.
Thanks for reminding me, Itachi. "Naruto, can I show you around?" I asked and wrapped my arms around his waist.
Naruto blushed and nodded. I took him upstairs, seeing as he already saw the first floor. The basement could wait until he decided he wanted to be a vampire.
"So, thinking about the other day. You said you can't lie... Does my voice really sound THAT bad?"
"Oh, the nails on chalk board thing... I was mad and spoke out of anger, it wasn't a lie, at the time, I just didn't want to hear you." I informed, I did feel bad for saying it...
"Oh, okay." Naruto smiled as I released him. "So, where are we going?"
"We are going to hide out in my room so I can make sure Hidan doesn't do anything." I told him.
"I see." Naruto nodded, "For how long?"
"Until you have to go home." I deadpanned.
He nodded and I opened the door to my room. Naruto's eyes went wide and he looked around. Starting at the almost black wood floor to the aged white walls with silhouette black lotus's, lilies, and other floral designs. "Did you paint these?"
"I painted all my walls and portraits."
"Wow~!" His eyes traced the black trimming on the walls and windows to the portraits. Silhouetted people, city scapes and other structures with colored backgrounds. "Everything is so beautiful." He walked over and sat on my black and off-white bed. "But kinda monochromatic."
"I like it that way, there is color though."
"Hardly, all the furnishings are black with that odd white, the only colors are the hanging paintings and the pictures on your computer desk."
"Is that a problem?" I asked looking around, I liked my room, the walls and ceilings were painted in silhouette floral designs and there were colored paintings every where you looked. It was simple and intricate but very nice.
"I like it though."
I smiled and sat on my bed beside him.
"Is this your guitar?" He said looking over to the black Les Paul Gibson guitar.
"Yeah, you want to hear something?" I asked, I think I should play it for him.
"YEAH!" Hook, line, and sinker, he was going to be mine.
I grabbed the guitar, plugged it into the amp and began to play.
"I can't wait forever
For you to be
In my arms.
Bring me from the dark
And back from the dead.
Then bring me home.
I'll love you 'till the dawn
Adore you 'till morning.
And hold you 'till I die
(Then We'll)
We'll fall back
On feathery wings.
In our world
Of black and White.
Let's make them stop
Make it all
Stop spinning.
I'll dip the memories
In silver and gold.
Your beauty
Eternally preserved.
We'll fall back
On feathery wings.
In our world
Of black and White.
In my mind
Thoughts of you
Let me be
Human
Once again
So let's make the best
Of the time we've got
Who knows what will happen next
Tell me what you want.
Because I'll crush the stars
If that'll bring you home to me.
Give you my heart
To keep you at my side.
(And then we)
We'll fall back
On feathery wings.
In our world
Of black and White.
Fall back
On feathery wings.
In our world
Of
Black and White."
I stopped playing and Naruto stood there, blushing and smiling. I could hear Deidara's breathing outside my room and knew the others were right outside.
"Wow, you are amazing." Naruto smiled at me. "When did you learn to play?"
"1943."
"Right, really old." I perked my brow at that.
"Really?" I asked, setting down the guitar and moving closer to him.
"Uh~." He looked away. "So, about that really cool song, who's it for?"
"Some one who has become rather important to me."
"Oh, cool." Naruto smiled, please tell me he is catching on.
"Yeah, I wanted you to be the first to hear it." I smiled kindly.
"Sweet. So, when are you gonna play it for them?"
And... I face-palmed.
"Children!" Hidan chimed as he walked in.
Oh~ HELL NO!
"Out! You religious mongrel."
"No." Hidan said as his skin began to turn and black needles started to emerge from his flesh.
"What the fuck?!" Naruto screeched terrified.
Damn you, Hidan! "Get out." I growled and held my ground, my skin transforming to an ashy-purple and my hair growing out and lightening. Wings like a demon's hands emerged from my back. I growled low and lunged after my creator tackling him down the stairwell and to the 2nd floor. The hand railing smashing at each impact on our way down.
"Ingrate!"
"Bastard."
"Brat."
"Asshole!" We cursed back and forth; I actually cursing.
"Why I oughtta!" Hidan growled and came after me, his flesh black besides the odd white to form bone designs. He grabbed a few needles and began to attack. Swinging violently in the attempt to cut me.
I flew up and began to fly out of the house, Hidan trailing me on the ground. We made it to the courtyard, I swooped down at him and he attempted to cut me again, I flew up before he could make contact.
"So, who's hideous form did you steal?" Hidan barked in disgust.
"An agent from Hebi." Hebi, was an organization of vampires out to purge the world of "traitors", "tyrants", and others who got in the way of their "worldly views". They are led by a 2,000 year old vampire named Orochimaru. He gathered other vampires and brainwashed them into his way of thinking.
"How revolting." Hidan sneered.
"Shut the hell up." I growled as we began ripping each other apart again.
Naruto's scream was what stopped us. I looked over to him bawling. It felt like whatever heart I had stopped dead in its tracks and everything in me tightened, like a snake constricting me.
I ran from Hidan and to Naruto. I pulled him to me and started humming the song I wrote for him. His breathing calmed and he slowly started to close his eyes. "Hidan, leave MY Naruto alone." I growled and vanished with Naruto in my arms.
I took Naruto back home, pick-locked the front door, and brought him to his room. I tucked him in his bed, kissed his peacefully sleeping brow. "Good night." I said softly. I walked out locked his front door again and left. "Home" sounded disgustingly unappealing so I would hunt and calm myself. No one needed me ripping Hidan a new one.
The serpent smiled in the shadows. "Looks~ like we found the 'Devil Prince'." He eerily cooed. "Tayuya, Sakon, Ukon, Jirobo, Kimimaru, Kidomaru. You will all go in search of him and bring my beloved student back to me."
"Yes Lord Orochimaru." They bowed and vanished.
The silver-haired vampire walked up to his master then. "Lord Orochimaru, are you sure it is wise to pursue Sasuke?"
"I am only taking back what is mine." The snake-like vampire hissed.
Me: "I know, I am awful. I made everyone wait sooooo long for the new chapter. 'Just things are going on and getting the vibe to write was kind a hard."
Sasuke: "And you need to inform your 'fans' of the OTHER THING."
Me: "Oh! Right, I will be moving to Washington soon... Some time after June 11th. So I won't have much time to write then either. Also, where I am moving to has no WIFI so I won't be on as regularly as I used to be."
Sasuke: "There you go."
Me: "Shut it. Things are difficult right now." paces in my room and stops. "By the way! Dear people who have been so loyal to my stories. Thank you so much! I went through my Yahoo and saw all the alerts and felt so inspired to finish "Freak Show". It was great. 132 notifications! I am so happy. Thank you all."
Sasuke: "More followers, faves, and reviews inspire her to write. So please, help lift her spirits and get her to write more."
Itachi: "It almost sounded like you were trying to get their help to move her spirit to the after life."
Me: "WHAT?! Itachi, you jerk!"
Sasuke: Snickers and looks at me. "You just noticed. Now, imagine the fact I used to live with that."
Me: "I wouldn't really get it any way, I'm an only child."
Sasuke and Itachi: Glares.
Me: "What?!"
Sasuke: "So you are spoiled."
Me: "Not entirely."
Itachi: "Uh huh."
Me: "I'm getting cut off of everything basically. The only thing I can possibly have is the family business in 15 years."
Itachi: "Ouch."
Sasuke: "Sucks to be you."
Me: "Assholes... Anyway~ people! PLEASE REVIEW! T.T I need it." puppy dog pouts. "Please." Gets smacked by Sasuke. "You ass!"
Naruto: "Sasuke you bastard!" Runs over and hugs me."It's o-"
Me: "SASUKE I WILL KICK YOUR ASS AND CRAM TOKYO TOWER UP IT WHILE I'M BEATING THE HELL OUT OF YOU!"
Itachi and Naruto: O.O
Deidara: "Warning, do not hit Tears in the face, she gets really angry and tries to wipe out the human race."
Me: "RAWR!"
Naruto: "OH GOD!"
Itachi: "Sasuke do something, it's your fault!"
Sasuke: "Calm~" Holds hands up defensively and speaks softly. "Calm, I am sorry." Starts walking towards me. "Will your cats Daemyan or Harley Quinn cheer you up?"
Me: Calms and smiles. "Yes!" I chime and sit.
Sasuke: Goes and grabs my cats. "Easy now. Just relax and write and be happy."
Me: "OK!" Smiles and pets my kitties.
