Love and Akatsuki

Part 5 - The New Kid

-*Lunae's POV*-

The next day everybody was awkward. We hardly said a word to each other. I just walked outside in my pajamas to get my mail. Outside I saw a new person and he waved to me.

He kind of resembled Sasori except he had dark lines around his light green eyes. Another feature was that he had a marking on his forhead. It was Japanese for Love.

I waved back still observing him. "Hey, what's your name," he said from across the street. "Lunae, what's yours?"

"It's Gaara," he told me. "Ok see you later Gaara!"

I went back inside the house feeling much better. Everybody else still wasn't talking so I tried to cheer them up.

First was Miki on my list after her and Tobi and God only knows what went on at home! "What you doing Miki?"

"Oh nothing just watching TV," she said.

"Where's Tobi?" I asked her.

"I don't know maybe you should look for him," she mumbled.

"Why don't you cheer up? Maybe you should meet the person I just met," I said.

We got dressed and I dragged her out. The other kid was still there. We talked for a while until I came up with a question.

"How'd you get that scar on your forehead," I asked.

"Oh, umm, not really that comfortable talking about it sorry," Gaara said.

She was feeling better when we were talking.

We didn't even notice that when we were with Gaara, Sasori was watching us.

-*Sasori's POV*-

I watched them from the window talking to some kid. I recognized his face. "It's him," I told myself.

I had to make Lunae stay away from him. It was too dangerous for her to be around him. I had to diverse a distraction for her to come back in the house.

I knew this wasn't going to be easy because she's strong-willed. I went outside and called her in. She glanced back at me with her Sapphire blue eyes that struck me.

Miki and her started coming back to the house. Miki looked back to say bye but Lunae didn't.

"What is it Sasori," Lunae asked me.

"I need to talk to you alone," I said.

We went to my room and sat on my bed. "Lunae, I care for your well-fare and I don't want you to see that kid again," I said seriously.

"Wh.. what," she studdered. "You can't tell me what to do!"

"Just stop this please, if you continue to see him I know what will happen to you. I want you to be safe Lunae. Try to understand," I told her.

She glared at me and stood up. "Why, what will happen," she asked me in a high voice. I said nothing.

She yelled, "Tell me now Sasori!" I continued to say nothing.

"I can take care of myself and I don't need any help from you. You won't tell me anything about this. I don't think that you really do care,"she yelled and left my room.

I was left on my bed with anger and sadness. I guess Deidara was right she'll find out about this on her own.

-*Lunae's POV*-

I left his room with tears down my face. I was too frustrated to talk now. Well at least Miki feels better.

I went in my room and got my sketch book. It takes my mind off of things. This time I wanted to draw something different.

I started sketching a face out of no reason. Then I added hair that was short and had a boyish style. Then eyes that were familiar to recognize.

After it was done I looked at it closely and the picture came out to look like Sasori. I quickly threw my book across my room and put my hands on my face.

I took in deep breaths but it didn't help at all.I opened my hand on my face to see my room and stared at my walls.

I started to think about "Love" again. I understood it after my experience."Love is an energy. Love is a mystery. Love is meant to be true," I told myself." Love is a part of me. Love is the heart of me...Love is the best thing we do."

This is love! It was becoming 12:00am and I decided to come downstairs with my Itouch. I was listening to (Shut Me Up) by Mindless Self Indulgence. Sasori was still in his room. Itachi and Kisame decided to keep me company for some unknown reason. "What you doing Lunae," Itachi asked me.

"Nothing really," I said.

"You want to go get some dango," Kisame asked me.

"No thanks, I'm not really in the mood."

Itachi asked me, "What's wrong?" I replied, "Oh, nothing."

Kisame asked me, "Can I see you Itouch?" "Sure."

He looked at it with amazement he easily amused by the games and apps I had on it. He looked at the wallpaper and asked who the three girls were on it.

"Silly, that's me, Miki, and Lupin," I told him.

We entered the kitchen and saw Pain and Konan. They were doing origami together. I honestly didn't know what Pain's origami looked like but Konan's was a pretty paper bird.

I thought it was pretty cool but I like sketching. Sketching is what I always do.
