Don't Let Me Down (Mafia! Sasuke x OC x Mafia! Gaara)

Part 6: Final Warning

(Noriko's pov)

10 minutes into second period the door was suddenly slid open.

 "Ah Miss Temari why are you late?" Kurenai-sensei asked as she looked away from the book she was reading. Temari walked towards her, whispered something into her ear, and coming to sit at the table in front of me. Kurenai-sensei smiled as she took off her glasses.

"It seems we have a new student. Please come in," she announced and soon the guy with sea foam green eyes came in. I looked him over and realized he was good looking and had soft looking red hair.

However, I noticed that Sasuke was slightly tensed and was staring at the red head seriously. Soon the red head also held Sasuke's gaze. "I'm Gaara Subaku." He introduced himself dully. Everyone in the room shivered but my eyes widen.

'Eh? Tem-chan has a brother?!" I thought flabbergasted. I thought she only had a little brother named Kankuro who has been absent recently, but I never knew she had another one.

"You may sit next to Shikamaru." Sensei said as she pointed at the sleeping boy. Gaara nodded as he quietly took his seat. Once he was settled in, Sensei resumed with the lesson. I stared at Gaara curiously across from the room. I memorized his facial outlines, studied the deep black bags under his eyes.

My concentration was broken when a paper hit the side of my head.

I looked down to see a neatly folded paper. With slightly gritted teeth, I glared at Sasuke who pretended he didn't notice. I opened the paper begrudgingly and read the note with a raised eyebrow. It said:

Stay Away From Him

I glanced at Sasuke with a puzzled look but decided to hold it off till lunch. Sasuke and I didn't talk about the matter during the next two periods and I noticed he would always cautiously glance at the bored looking red head.

I started getting slightly annoyed at the defensive, threatening aura he was letting out. When the bell finally rang for lunch, I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him with me.

He protested but I ignored him as I brought us up to the roof.

When we got there I roughly threw him in the front of me. He would've fell had he not been able to catch himself. I crossed my arms and impatiently tapped my foot on the concrete. "What the hell is up with you?" I asked aggravated.

Sasuke turned around to see my frustrated face. "Just stay away from him." He responded blankly. I rolled my eyes.

"Really Sasuke? You have to give me a better reason otherwise I won't listen to you." I argued stubbornly. "Just listen to me and stay away from him." He repeated warningly. I got fed up with his excuses and turned around.

 "Nope, sorry. In fact I might just go talk to him right now." I started to walk back inside but I was suddenly pulled back and into his chest. He had his arm around my waist and another one wrapped around my front hanging on to my shoulders near my neck almost as if he'd choke me.

"Why the hell are you so stubborn?" Sasuke's breath whipped my ear making me want to shiver at our closeness but held it down. "Because I want answers." I muttered, glaring down at the floor.

I felt my heart beat pick up and heat reach my cheeks. 'Why am I reacting like this?' I thought confused. He sighed as his chin rested on my head. "You're so annoying." He said wearied. 

"Your fault for choosing me as your friend." I spoke up irritably.

"That guy is another mafia leader. He runs a territory that is almost as big as mine. But he's said to be lethal. Rumor is he killed any of his guys that tried to take him over so now no one tries to defy him. He's ruthless." Sasuke claimed.

"Is there any proof of this?" I asked him looking up at him. "No." he answered. "Then why are you scared?" I asked again. "Because he could find out my weakness and use it against me to take my territory." He responded a bit weakly, releasing me slowly from his hold.

I turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "What's your weakness?" I asked interested. He stared at me with an unreadable expression. Abruptly he flicked my forehead with a grunt. I instantly flinched back with my hand holding the area he injured.

"Figure it out for yourself idiot." He said with a smirk. I growled threateningly. I jabbed him in the stomach just as swiftly. "Jerk!" I yelled furiously. He simply grimaced and held me out at arms length as I tried to lunge at him while yelling out insults.

He stopped me from my rampage when he spoke up. "Do you understand Noriko," He asked seriously. I looked up at him to see he was completely serious about this.

I sighed as I slapped his hand off my head. "Yea, yea, yea. I got it. Stay away. Red head off limits." I recited childishly. He nodded and walked past me. "Come on. I'm hungry." He said leaving me alone.

"H-Hoi Sasuke wait for me asshole!" I yelled as I chased after him.
