Chapter 35: Since the beginning
×Konan's POV×
Yahiko and I went to our room, everyone was spending quality time together....well except Ino and Deidara....who knows what those two are up to...
--"Konan..."--Yahiko called me, it's pretty rare of him to call me by my name....he usually calls me "Angel, Flower, Queen" so something must be up with him...
--"What is it, Yahiko?"-- I asked oblivious.
--"Do you remember.....the first time we met?..."-- he asked, turning his back towards me. Why doesn't he want to make eye contact all of a sudden?...
--"Of course I do...."-- I said.
~∆ Flashback∆~
×Konan's POV×
--"Mommy! Daddy! Where are you!?"-- I said as I cried while looking around at my demolished home. There was smoke everywhere, and it was hard to breathe....
--"Please answer! I don't want to be Alone......."-- I kept on searching and searching until I found a body......crushed by a wall....the only thing that was visible was a hand....and it had a wedding ring with an emerald stone....
--"Mom......"-- I said as I fell to my knees and started to cry, I didn't have anyone else but my parents and now they were gone. All because of that stupid war....
I was only thirteen years old when it all happened.
I stayed there for atleast a day...... hungry as hell.... almost half dead, laying on the ground besides my dead mothers body.....
Until a ninja from the hidden mist came along. He checked my pulse and knew I was still alive. I remember the smirk he had on his face when he pulled my hair upwards just to take a glimpse of what my face looked like. He dragged me through the battlefield.
It hurted.... being pulled by your hair and if I did anything to resist or fight back I earned myself a slap or usually just being pulled even harder by my hair...
I lost all hope. This was it. I was probably going to be made a slave....
Serve some sick bastard with a miserable life...
I accepted my faith and I was starting to faint since I hadn't eaten. Yet surprisingly, a boy with spiky, vivid orange hair beat the mist ninja without even sweating it. I slightly smiled before my vision became blurry.
Next thing I know I'm on a comfy bed, with the softest blankets and a fluffy pillow.....it was paradise.
I sat up, looking at my surroundings.
--"I see you're awake."-- I heard a voice say from not to far away.
I looked at my left and there he was. The boy who saved my life.
--"Umm... thank you...."-- I said nervously as I lowered my head.
--"No need to thank me"-- he said chuckling. --"It's the least I can do. Besides, I couldn't just watch as a beautiful girl like you was being mistreated."-- he added as he sat on the bed besides me.
--"I'm Yahiko, what's your name?"-- he said as he extended his hands toward me with a warm smile...
--"Konan....nice to meet you."-- I said avoiding eye contact as I took his hand and gently shoock it.
--"So....Konan.....what happened to you...?"-- he asked worryingly as he pointed at my arms, legs and at my face...I saw that I was covered in bandages. Did he treat my wounds?...
--"Ohh....and sorry if the bandages are a little tight....I did the best I could."-- he added, awkwardly smiling as he scratched the back of his head.
I gave him a smile --" I'm fine, don't worry."-- I said. --"Well....my parents.....they were killed....our neighborhood became a battlefield. Ninja from the hidden mist and the hidden stone kept on fighting knowing that there were still civilians who hadn't been evacuated. Now I've got no one--" my voice grew weak as I kept talking.
Not aware of how many emotions I was feeling at the time, a tear escaped my right eye.
Yahiko came close to me, bumping his forehead with mine.
--"You've got me"-- he muttered, as he dried up my tears with his thumb, and gave me a quick smile.
I blushed a bit. I wasn't expecting him to do or say that at all.
And that's how it begun......
{A year later}
--"Guess what I found!"-- Yahiko said with a wide grin.
--"What?"-- I asked cluelessly.
--"You're supposed to guess"-- Yahiko said while sweatdropping and sighing but he quickly shook his head --"A forbidden jutsu scroll..."-- he whispered.
--"Yahiko! You're not supposed to have that! You'll get us killed!"-- I whispered but at the same time it looked as if I were yelling. I was worried. A forbidden scroll was one of the ultimate reasons of why people get killed in wars. Because they posses something sacred.
--"Relax...I made sure no one followed me back."-- he stated rolling his eyes as he threw the scroll mid air and catched it, he did this repeatedly until he said...--"Hey....wanna open it?"-- he asked with a smirk.
--"You're crazy. What if it's a trap? We don't even know ninjutsu."-- I stated with a frown.
--"And what if it's not a trap? We were going to open it sooner or later. And I do know a thing or two about ninjutsu. I went to the academy. I've got the basics down."-- he replied with a proud smile.
--"Yeah well I went to the academy too! But they never taught us anything related to how we could perform jutsus."-- I stated with a disappointing sigh.
Yahiko then bursted out laughing. --"Waoh, your school was pretty lame!"--
--"Not cool, Yahiko!"-- I said rolling my eyes and crossing my arms.
--"Ok, sorry....I was just stating the obvious...."-- he said while muttering the last part.
--"Hey! I heard that!"-- I said as I harshly poked his shoulder.
--"I pity the man who dares to marry you."-- he stated chuckling.
That instantly made my eye twitch.
--"What do you mean by that, huh!?"-- I asked him staring directly to his eyes.
--"Ahh forget it....I don't like being in your bad side."-- he stated and then smirked.....
I knew exactly what he was going to do....
--"Yahiko.... don't....you...dare."-- I said as I stepped away from him pointing my index finger with warning.
--"One......"-- he started off, taking slow steps forward.
--"Yahiko! No! Stop it!"-- I said trying to contain my giggling.
--"Two..."-- his smirk grew even wider this time.
--"I'm not in the mood, seriously!"-- I said as I shield myself behind a chair. (Real smart of me, I know.)
--"And three! You better run!"-- he said almost tackling me, but I know his tricks so I dodged him easily.
I quickly ran to the bedroom. I crawled below the bed and hopped to the gods above I didn't make a single noise. Or else, I'd be fried meat.
--"Konan.....you can't hide forever...."-- he said with a creepy voice. I instantly covered my mouth. I was bound to laugh sooner or later. I contained myself the best I could.
I peeked to see if he was at the bedroom.....--"He hasn't found me yet...."-- I thought as I felt a bit relieved.
But that feeling soon disappeared.
--"Found you!"-- he said as he took my foot and dragged me out of the bed.
--"Wait! I'll do anything you want! Really!"-- I said trying to negotiate with him.
--"Hmm...let me think about it."-- he said. He was currently above me. Almost sitting on top of me. He acted like he was "thinking about it" but I knew I wasn't gonna get away that easily....
--"Well now that you mention it....I may let you go...."-- he started off making my face lit up, I was actually going to have it my way? For the first time! Is he really going to do what I suggest....
--"On second thought. I think I'll pass!"-- he stated and tickled me.
After a few seconds I felt like I was going to die of laughter, I was loosing my breath.
--"Yah...hi...Yahiko! Please! S-s-stop!"-- I said while pausing and laughing not being able to finish my sentences correctly.
--"Yeah I think you've had enough."-- he stated as he got up and extended his hand.
--"Hurry up and take my hand, or are you planning on getting up yourself."-- he said raising an eyebrow.
--"I'm trying to catch my breath here. Be patient."-- I stated as I took his hand. He pulled me upwards...but a little to rapidly, till the point our faces were so close.
We looked into each others eye's, not saying a single word, we were also holding hands. I noticed he started to faintly blush....
We both then quickly looked away and let go of our hands.
--"U-umm...so....w-what do you think we should do a-about the scroll?"-- he asked awkwardly. Trying to change the subject to what just happened...
To be continued....
