-Saya-
It's been about a week since I attacked Gaara in Orochimaru's class and everything went back to normal. I'd found out what kind of Mythical everyone else was. Sakura is a Ogress like Tsunade which is kinda scary to think about. Neji is a Fairy, all Hyuga were. TenTen is a forest Sprite, and Shikamaru could manipulate shadows.
"So when exactly is the concert Orochimaru has us preparing for?"
I asked as I hopped up ontop of the brick wall surrounding the tree in the middle of the courtyard and ignored the glare Gaara sent me. It was a big wall, he could learn to share.
"Next month."
Temari explained and I nodded as I went to bite into my apple only to bite into air. I blinked in surprise and looked around to see Gaara now had my apple and was eating.
"Oi, that was my apple you jackass."
I said and he glanced at me.
"Exactly, was."
He said calmly as he took another bite out of my apple and I growled at him before Sasuke tossed me his.
"Thanks."
I said as I caught it and glared at Gaara before biting into it and turning to look at Temari and the others and listened to their conversations as I enjoyed my lunch.
"Did you do the homework for Shino's class?"
Sakura asked TenTen and she nodded before pulling it out to go over with her. Naruto and Star were talking about ramen noodles and Sheera was talking with Neji about something while Shikamaru laid down beneath the tree and tried to get some sleep and Kankuro talked with Kiba about something or another. Hinata stood next to Naruto, but didn't say anything. I smiled at our group of misfits. It was kinda weird how we could all get along, but it was nice that we could.
"Hey!"
I looked up to see Itachi coming our way with Kisame, Deidara, and Tobi behind him along with three others I didn't know.
"Hey Itachi, what's up?"
Temari asked as they reached us. I stayed on the wall and continued to munch on my apple as Naruto and the others started talking with Itachi. I stared at the girl with blue hair to her waist who was wrapped in the guy with orange hair and way too many piercings in his face's arms. Then at the red head in the back that reminded me a little of Gaara, but that was mainly because they had the same color hair.
"Hey, who are you?"
The blue haired girl asked and I smiled behind my apple.
"Name's Saya. Me and my sisters Star and Sheera are sorta new."
I explained simply and she nodded.
"I'm Konan, and this is Pein."
She said introducing herself and the guy who's arms were wrapped around her waist. They were obviously together.
"What kind of Mythicals are you?"
Sheera asked and they looked at her.
"Well Pein's an Illusionist and my body's made up of paper that I can use as a weapon if I want."
Konan explained and I looked at her to see if any part of her looked like paper, but it didn't. Then I remembered the other redhead and turned to look at him only to see him staring at me. I blinked a few times before smiling at him.
"You gonna stare at me all day or you going to introduce yourself?"
I asked and heard Naruto and Star laugh at him.
"I'm Sasori."
He said simply and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I looked him over and had to admit he seemed pretty cute, but wasn't really my type.
"Mythical?"
I asked and he looked at me for a minute before smirking.
"Wizard."
He said and my eyes widened at that. The only Wizard I knew was my dad. I looked down at Sheera to see her eyes had widened too.
"What about you three?"
Konan asked and I instantly went back to eating my apple.
"I'm a Witch, Star here is a Pixie, and Saya...well I'll leave that up to her to tell you or not."
Sheera said and I nodded my thanks to her as I finished the rest of my apple.
"Well?"
Pein asked and I shrugged.
"Don't really know you well enough to tell you."
I said before throwing my apple in the trash across the courtyard.
"Damn Saya, you never miss."
Naruto said and I smiled at him.
"We told you what we were."
Konan said and I turned to look at her.
"Sorry. I'm self concious about what I am."
I said before hopping off the wall and landing on the ground lightly beside Shikamaru's sleeping form.
"That's hard to imagine."
Sasori said and I looked up at him surprised, but shrugged it off.
"Whatever. I"m heading to class, see you guys later."
I said to Naruto and them before grabbing my bag and walking towards the Gym. I could feel someone's eyes following me, but didn't bother to see who it was.
-Star-
I watched as Saya left, then turned toward Deidara.
"Hey, can you make explosions in the air?"
I asked a little hopeful and he looked at me before smiling.
"Of course, yeah."
He said and I smiled widely up at him.
"Could you do it?"
I asked and he blinked in surprise before smiling and there was suddenly an explosion in the air a few feet away from us. I laughed and jumped up and down excitedly.
"That was awesome!"
I shouted and he smiled at me.
"Really?"
He asked and I nodded.
"Excuse her, seeing explosions and mischief is just in her nature."
I heard Sheera say from behind me and stuck my tongue out at her before quickly running and hiding behind Deidara so she couldn't hit me. He laughed and I looked up at him and blushed.
"That's alright, yeah. I like explosions too, yeah."
He said and I smiled at him before moving to stand next to him as he made another explosion go off.
"Oh I know!"
I said digging through my pockets. I pulled out little disks of clay I'd made the throw off the roof later and smiled up at him.
"Make these explode!"
I said excitedly and he laughed at me before telling me to throw them up and he would make them explode.
-Sheera-
I shook my head at my sister as I saw her laughing hysterically and jumping up and down every time Deidara made one of the clay disks explode.
"Seems like your sister is full of energy."
I looked over to my right to see Itachi leaning against the wall next to me.
"I suppose. She is a Pixie so it's to be expected and she's my sister so I'm sorta used to it."
I said and he just hn'd in response. I glanced over at Gaara and saw him glaring at Sasori and Sasori glaring back.
What's up with those two?
I wondered.
"Those two?"
Itachi said and I turned to look back up at him since he was a few inches taller than me.
"They've known each other since middle school and can't stand eachother. I'm actually surprised they're not at each other's throats. Normally they'd attack eachother as soon as the-"
Itachi explained, but stopped when Temari screamed and we turned to see Gaara and Sasori rolling around on the ground beating the hell out of each other.
"Never mind."
Itachi said and I smirked at him before going over to see Temari pull Gaara back and Pein pull back Sasori. Sasori had a black eye and Gaara had a busted lip.
"Sorry 'bout that. Itachi, let's go."
Pein said as he hauled Sasori away who was trying to get at Gaara.
"Right. Sorry, we'll see you guys later."
Itachi said before following after Pein.
"Deidara!"
Pein said and Deidara stopped blowing things up and looked up at him before running to join them after shouting a goodbye to us. I turned to look at Temari and Kankuro who were holding Gaara back and sighed.
"Do I want to know why you two suddenly attacked each other?"
I asked and Gaara just growled before yanking his arms away from his siblings and disappearing inside the school. I sighed and shook my head before following since the bell was about to ring.
-Temari-
I changed with the rest of the girls before meeting up with the guys out on the track. I saw Saya standing with her sisters and talking about something that made Saya frown before she looked over at my youngest brother who was sitting under a tree a few feet away from us. She walked over to him and stopped a few inches away and started talking to him. I walked over to Sheera and Star to see what she was doing.
"We told her that Gaara and Sasori got into a fight and she's going to find out why."
Star told me and I sighed.
"Gaara's not going to like her trying to bud into his life."
I said and they smiled at me.
"Saya has a way of getting people to tell her what she wants."
Sheera said and I looked at her confused before turning with her and Star to look over at Saya and my brother to see her crouched down infront of him.
She's going to get hurt.
I thought, but was surprised when I saw Gaara's eyes return to normal and they continue to talk.
What exactly are they talking about?
I wondered before Shikamaru and Naruto got my attention.
-Saya-
"What's wrong with Gaara?"
I asked as my sisters came out of the changing room. He'd been sitting under that tree for a while and wouldn't even look at Naruto and the others.
"He got in a fight with that Sasori guy a few minutes ago."
Sheera said and I stared at her in shock.
"Really? Did he kick ass?"
I asked and she smacked me upside the head.
"Hey! It's a legitimate question!"
I shouted as I rubbed my head. She rolled her eyes at me and Star smiled.
"I'm gonna go talk to him."
I said before running off before they could say anything. I stopped a few inches away from him, but he didn't look at me. He just kept glaring at the grass infront of him.
"You know, no matter how hard you glare at it the grass isn't going to burst into flames. Belive me, I've tried."
I said and he turned to glare at me and I saw his bottom lip was busted, but it wasn't too bad and looked to be healing already.
"So, if you look like that how bad does the other guy look?"
I asked and saw the corner of his mouth lift into a Gaara smile before going back to normal.
"At least tell me you gave him a black eye."
I said and he stopped glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and moved to stand infront of him then crouched down. I reached out and grabbed his face. I felt him flinch at my touch and rolled my eyes at him again. I gently ran my thumb over his lip and sighed.
"Well, you better have done something to his ass for busting your lip like this."
I said before pulling my hand back and staring at him.
"I gave him a black eye."
He said after a while and I smiled widely at him.
"Thatta boy."
I said and saw him roll his eyes at me.
"So, how come you and Sasori decided to duke it out?"
I asked and he narrowed his eyes at me.
"Oh come on. I'm finally not the only one getting into fights, you gotta tell me. Pleeeaasee!"
I begged and he smiled at me then winced slightly because of his lip.
"I've known him since middle school. We had a project and he tried to make me do all the work while wanting to get all the credit. I tore his paper, he broke the project I almost had finished, I broke his laptop, he cut my hair, and I knocked him out."
He said and I blinked in surprise at him before falling to the ground laughing which made him glare at me.
"I'm sorry, but that's kinda funny."
I said and he kicked my side which made me sit up with a yelp.
"Asshole."
I said smacking his shin.
"Bitch."
He said and I glared at him before laughing again.
"So now every time you two see eachother you fight?"
I asked once I got my laughter under control.
"Pretty much."
He said with a shrug and I smiled at him.
"Next time I wanna watch. I'd like to see you kick his ass."
I said and he looked at me surprised for a minute before he hid his emotions again.
"Why?"
He asked and I shrugged.
"I love watching a good fight just as much as being in one."
I said simply and he just stared at me. I got to my feet and held my hand out to him.
"Come on, let's race."
I said with a smile and he glared up at me before taking my hand and getting to his feet.
"You know I'm going to beat you this time right?"
He said as we made our way over to the track. I smiled at him as I stood next to him.
"You keep thinking that."
I said before we both took off.
-Sasuke-
I watched as Saya talked with Gaara and noticed how he interacted with her. He seemed more open with her than before. I saw her fall to the ground laughing and him kick her side making her sit up with a yelp. She smacked his shin and I expected him to get angry, but instead he seemed to be smiling.
"You noticing it too?"
I looked over to see Sakura standing next to me.
"It's a little weird seeing him act that way around a girl, but it's also nice in a way."
She said and I nodded in agreement as I watched Saya get to her feet and hold her hand out to Gaara. He took it and got to his feet and they both went over to the track and took off in another race. I shook my head in disbelief before focusing on finishing the laps Guy was having us do.
-Gaara-
"I can't believe Gaara actually beat you Saya."
Sheera said and I smirked to myself as we all walked through the hall to our last class.
"That's 'cuz his ass cheated."
Saya said with a frown and I smirked at her.
"You're just upset because you lost your balance."
I said calmly and she glared at me.
"That's because you fucking pushed me!"
She shouted and I shrugged at her before walking past her to my last class.
"Fucking asshole!"
I heard her shout after me and smirked to myself. She was rather fun to tease.
