Kagami's POV
At that moment I felt complete. The wind was blowing at the tops of the trees surrounding the aquarium, causing the leaves to rustle. The sound was soothing somehow, I closed my eyes and inhaled a long breath, taking the scent of pine leaves and fresh air into my system. Both of us sat there looking at the sky in a comfortable scilence until-
"FREEZE, YOU RASCALS!" A loud booming voice hollared, followed by the slamming of the door. Sasori and I both turned around to find a bald, plump, middle-aged security guard stood in the doorway with nothing but a bottle of small bottle of pepper spray pointed at us. "Now put your hands up and walk over. SLOWLY." He said monotonely, as if reading out of a readers manual, raising his bottle of spray.
Sasori scoffed. "Make a run for it," He whispered into my ear before he got up. Before I could even process his words, I saw him running towards the guard and giving the him a perfect turning kick to the groin. The guard, in turn, collapsing into a heap on the ground. I was dazed for a moment when I saw the puppeteer struggling to pin the guard to the ground when he shouted "RUN YOU IDIOT RUN!!". I awoke from my daze and made a dash toward the stairs. I stole one last look at the red head tackling the guard one more time before I sprinted down.
I sped down the stairs, worrying that the security might come and corner me at any second. Until the final step and there was a sickening crunch from my foot. Apparently I had missed the last step and tripped, twisting my ankle and landing on it in the process. You had one job, Kagami, ONE JOB.
Wincing, I heaved myself to the corridoor where Sasori had left the bags and plopped down beside them, careful not to injure my ankle any further. I was about to try to get myself up when suddenly a voice broke my train of thought. "I swear, I leave you alone for just a minute. And this happens." the puppeteers voice rang in my ears. "Oh shut up. I thought you were going to be beaten up by that fatso and it excited me so much that I lost my train of thought and fell." I shot back, voice laced with annoyance. "Hmm?" He smirked, "Coming from the girl that was so smitten with my good looks just moments ago, that its quite unbelievable indeed."
I huffed and turned away. The worst thing was, it was true. "Pfft who needs a narcissist like you? O can manage on my own." I tried to get up, leaning against the wall for support but accidentally applying too much pressure on my ankle and falling down again, groaning in pain.
In the meantime he just stood there. Arms folded, the smug look on his face never faltering. He sighed "Dumb fuck, let me see it." He bent down and gently raised my ankle onto his knee, "Straighten your leg." He commanded and I winced and followed his orders. He pressed onto my ankle with his thumb and asked me whether it hurt or not. I simply nodded my head.
"Yep. It's sprained." He said flatly, "Get on" He turned around so that his back was facing me and went into a crouching postion.
"You've got to be kidding me." I said in disbelief, he wants to give me a piggy back ride? No way in hell.
"I' m not going to say it twice now get on." I quirked an eyebrow at him "It's either that or I'll let you crawl all the way back to the van. It's your choice."
Very reluctantly, I climbed onto his back and wrapped my arms around his neck, securing my position. He got hold of me and slowly got up, as he did, I could feel the muscles in his back shifting against my body. He retrieved the bags and we made our journey back to the van.
As we went back, i could feel the sent of sandal wood and shampoo wafting around my nose. It was calming.. I could feel myself drifting away and everything faded into a calm realm of ease..
Sasori's POV
"Oi, we're almost there,' I jerked her a bit only to recieve a slight moan in return. Did she really just....? Why yes, yes she did. Shes asleep on my back isn't she. I could feel a vein popping on my forehead and I resisted the urge to drop her right then and there. What am I? A caddy?
It seemed like forever until we finally reached the van. Pein, Konan, Itachi, Deidara and Akira were there already. Pein and Konan were making out behind some bushes thinking we couldn't see them (but honestly you could hear them), Itachi was tapping away on his smartphone and Deidara and Akira were clearly partaking in an obviously very stimulating conversation. "Move aside people." I commanded as I moved to place her in the back seat of the van as carefully as I could without waking her up. I wasn't that cruel.
Several cat calls later, she was safely tucked into the back seat of the van. I groaned as I streched my aching shoulders. "Well well, wasn't that a bit too vigurous?" Deidara taunted as he wagged his eyebrows at me, Akira giggled behind him. I shot him a death glare that immediately shut him up before I said "Wheres your actual partner?" "Meh he'll come back soon." I rolled my eyes and sure enough i heard an exteremely high pithced voice accompanied by a shady figure hurling towards us screaming "DEIDARA SENPAIIIIIII!!!!"
Tobi crashed into Deidara and pulled him into a bone crushing hug. "Senpai senpai I almost got caught but I beat the fat man up and ran away!" He squealed as he hugged the blonde artist tighter. His face was still covered with the mask but one cold feel him smiling underneath it. Deidara finally managed to dislodge himself from the death grip that was Tobi and gasped for air. "GODDAMMIT TOBI" he rasped between breaths. I enjoyed the verbal battle between them and Akira's desperate- but failing attemptes to keep Deidara from completely crushing Tobi- from aside.
A while later, the rest joined us along with a drenched Kisame. "Ah that was refreshing~" he said as he flashed a toothy grin. We clammered into the van and somehow I found myself next to Kagami again. Currently wide awake she was chattering away happily to Deidara- who god forbid, was on the other side of me. "So, un." Deidara asked, grinning widely after Kagami finished her fit of laughter from his first joke. "How was it?" She cocked her head " You know.. what he did to leave you so exhausted like that." I sighed and leanded my head back and pretended like I didn't hear anything. She shifted in her seat beside me, I looked straight ahead, ignoring the world.
Before she could answer, the van stopped and Kakuzu hauled the doors open. "OUT OUT KIDS PAPA NEEDS TO SLEEP" He exclaimed. "Well you heard him" I said flatly to no one in particular and wait for the rest of the members to drain out first. I exited quietly after Deidara with Kagami following behind.
A quiet tap on my shoulder got my attention and I turned around. Standing there with her arm stretched out and my jacket in hand she said "Thanks." I took the jacket and nodded, she walked away toward the direction of her dorm, footsteps padding quietly after her.
