Chapter Seven: Deidara’s Plan
Itachi, Aleria, Alexia, Deidara, and Sasori were at the Gardens. They were already sitting on their table, eating their meal. “I hope Sasuke and Ashley are okay.” Alexia said, looking worried. After that horrid drama, oh Ashley I wish this never happens to you. It’s all my fault… She was wearing a lime green dress.
“Don’t worry Alexia, they will show up…” Itachi whispered. “Sasuke is just helping Ashley cheer up before coming here.”
Was I too harsh on her? No you weren’t… You were right at all points. She was the reason why everything you love is gone. Aleria thought, sipping her wine. She was wearing a red dress.
“Where is she?” Deidara said. “I want to dance with her.”
“Yet she doesn’t want to dance with you.” Sasori added.
“SHUT UP….” Deidara screamed. “She will dance with me.”
“Deidara, when are you going to realize that Ashley doesn’t like you like that?” Sasori asked. “And also you are too old for her.”
“She will be mine.” Deidara said.
“No she won’t you pervert.” A voice said. They turned and found Sasuke and Ashley. “Keep your hands off of her.”
“What is going on here?” Ashley asked. She was wearing the pink dress her sister gave her.
“Wow, Ashley you look beautiful.” Alexia said, walking towards her. “That dress suits you.”
“Thank you…” She said, blushing. Alexia pulled her away and sat her beside her.
“I hope you are hungry. I ordered barbeque pork for you.” Itachi said. “I know your medical condition Ashley.”
“Thank you…” She repeated. They started eating. Everything is going smoothly. I wonder where Gaara? He said he will be here. It’s has been half an hour and Gaara still didn’t show up. I guess he got caught up with something important… Then Deidara walked towards her. Please help me…
“May I have this dance?” Deidara asked.
“Me???” Ashley said. Why me??? “Do I have to?”
“Yes…” He said calmly.
“Fine…” Ashley said, grabbing his hand. They walked to the dance floor and waltz elegantly.
“Ashley, you look beautiful.” Deidara said, pulling her closer. Damn she feels so good. “So can you reconsider my offer?”
“What offer?” She asked.
“Will you marry me?” Deidara asked, twirling her around.
“Are you insane? I am only sixteen.” Ashley said. “You’re in your twenty.”
“Come on… I know you love me.” Deidara whispered.
“I don’t…” She replied. “Please understand that I am never going to marry you.”
“You will change your mind because I know your little secret.” Deidara said. “The real reason why you didn’t want to go to the Toad Stool…” He moved closer to her ear and whispered. “Angel Eyes…”
“How did you?” She mumbled. “You followed me didn’t you?”
“Of course and look what I found.” He said, guiding her away from their table. “So what it’s going to be Ashley?"
“I…” Ashley said, looking scared. I don’t know what to do… I don’t want to…
“May I have this dance?” A familiar voice said. She turned and found Gaara. He was wearing a blue long sleeve collar shirt with a black vest, tie, and slack. “Ashley…”
“Gaara…” She said, smiling. “You came…” She grabbed his hand and walked away with him.
“Why that little brat???” Deidara snapped, gripping his fist.
“Gaara…” Ashley said, pulling him closer. “Thank you…”
“Hmmm…” Gaara said, blushing. He felt his hand wet. Tears… “Ashley, are you okay?” He cupped her face and from her crying silently. Oh no… I made her cry… “You’re crying. Ashley, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“It’s not that… Deidara found out about my secret and he will reveal it if I don’t marry him.” She cried, hiding her tears under her hair. “I don’t want to marry him.” She gripped him tight. “But if Aleria finds out about me, she will hate me for sure. She always hates it when I do something that involves music. I don’t know why but she does.”
“That’s why you kept it a secret.” Gaara said. She is in so much pain… “Ashley, let him reveal it.”
“What???” Ashley said.
“I don’t want you to be force to a man that you hardly love.” Gaara said, cupping her face. “I want you happy and I know your sister will hate you but at least you won’t give up your soul to that man.”
“Gaara…” Ashley said. “Thank you so much.”
“Ashley, you are my friend. I want you to be happy.” Gaara said.
“I am so sorry for crying. I’ve must embarrassed you.” Ashley said, wiping her tears.
“No offense but I like it because I can see your eyes again.” Gaara replied, smiling. “How about we reveal your secret together?”
“Really…” Ashley said. “You will sing with me.”
“Yeah after all you are my partner.” Gaara said. “Are you ready?”
“I am scared.” She admitted.
“I will be here with you.” He said. “Always…”
“Okay…” She said, smiling. He walked to the mini stage and talked to the singer. I know sister will be mad but I have to follow my heart and I am not going to seal it with Deidara.
“Okay everyone, you are in for a special treat tonight.” Gaara said, holding the microphone. “We have a little dedication to Itachi Uchiha and the lovely Alexia Hisatake. I hope you all enjoy.”
“Itachi, did you know about this?” Alexia asked.
“No…” Itachi said. Then Ashley walked towards the microphone. “Is that Ashley?”
“It is…” Aleria said. “What is she doing up there?”
“Ashley…” Sasuke said, looking at her with shock. She is really going to reveal her secret even when she was scared to. Why the sudden change?
“Don’t be afraid.” Gaara whispered, holding her hand. “I am here for you.” She nodded. He grabbed the guitar and started playing. “Ahhh…”
“Ahhh….” She sang. “That's how much I love you. That's how much I need you. And I can't stand you. Must everything you do make me wanna smile. Can I not like you for awhile?”
“No…” Gaara sang, staring at her. “But you won't let me. You upset me girl. And then you kiss my lips. All of a sudden I forget."
“That I was upset.” Back ground singers sang.
“Can't remember what you did.” He continued.
“But I hate it...” They both sang.
“You know exactly what to do. So that I can't stay mad at you. For too long that's wrong.” Ashley sang, smiling.
“But I hate it...” They both sang.
“You know exactly how to touch.” He sang, passing the guitar to another guy and he started playing. “So that I don't want to fuss and fight no more… Said I despise that I adore you…”
“Ashley… She is singing…” Alexia said, looking at her with joy. “She is singing. Her voice is so beautiful.”
“She is pretty good.” Sasori said, smiling. “She should join the Akatsuki after high school.”
“Hmmm…” Aleria said. She’s singing… I thought she quit years ago…
“And I hate how much I love you boy. I can't stand how much I need you.” Ashley sang with passion. Gaara echoed in the background. “And I hate how much I love you boy. But I just can't let you go. And I hate that I love you so.”
“You completely know the power that you have. The only one makes me laugh.” Gaara sang, running his hand through her hair.
“That kid, I want to ring his neck.” Deidara snapped. I can’t blackmail her now… She is revealing her secret, I can’t force her to marry me.
“Wow, you got served by a High School kid…” Sasuke teased. “The Great drummer Deidara was rejected.”
“SHUT UP…”
“Said it's not fair… How you take advantage of the fact. That I... love you beyond the reason why… And it just ain't right.” She sang, grabbing his hand. I can’t believe it… I like him…
“And I hate how much I love you girl. I can't stand how much I need you. And I hate how much I love you girl. But I just can't let you go. But I hate that I love you so.” Gaara sang, smiling. Why do you have to be right Sasuke? Ashley echoed from the background.
“One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me. And your kiss won't make me weak. But no one in this world knows me the way you know me. So you'll probably always have a spell on me...” They both sang.
“I am glad she is doing this.” Sasuke said, smiling.
“So you knew as well.” Itachi whispered.
“Yeah…. Wait, you found out…” Sasuke snapped.
“Yeah, she told me and I promised her that I will keep it a secret.” Itachi said, smiling.
“Yeah... Oh...” Gaara sang.
“And I hate that I love you so. And I hate how much I love you boy. I can't stand how much I need you.” Ashley sang while Gaara echoed. “And I hate how much I love you boy. But I just can't let you go. And I hate that I love you so.”
“And I hate that I love you so… so...” They both sang. Everyone cheered.
“ASHLEY… THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL…” Alexia cheered, racing towards her little sister and hugging her tight. “That was the best gift ever. I love it.”
“It was Gaara’s idea.” Ashley smiled.
“Gaara, your voice was terrific. I never thought that you were quite a singer.” Alexia said, pulling him to a hug also. “I am so happy. That duet was so wonderful. I just wanted to cry.”
“Thanks.” He said.
“Well, don’t cry yet.” Itachi said, smiling. “I have something to ask you.” He kneeled down in front of his girlfriend. “Alexia I love you so much and all I want is to be with you forever. I don’t want to live alone anymore. I want to be with you always.” He pulled a small box and opened it. It was a golden band ring with an emerald. “Will you marry me Alexia Hisatake?”
“Oh Itachi…” Alexia said, crying and smiling at the same time. “Yes…Yes…” He stood up and she raced to hug him. “I love you too Itachi.”
Her voice grew beautifully… Does she really want to delicate her life to music? Aleria thought, staring at her little sister. One thing for sure… She is hiding a lot of things from us.
“I guess we have a wedding to plan right Ashley?” Sasuke asked. He caught her with a frown. She doesn’t want us to be a family… She looks so sad. “Ashley, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I am fine.” Ashley said, giving him a fake smile. I won’t be there… I will be… “Gaara, thank you for everything…”
“It was nothing.” Gaara said. “I’m sorry that I was late. Temari thought we were on a date and she wanted to play dress up with me.”
“I know how that feels.” Ashley replied. “My sister bought me this dress and I really don’t like pink.”
“But it suits you.” Gaara complimented.
“Thank you.” She replied. Everyone was still at the restaurant, partying away. They didn’t want to stay so Gaara decided to walk her home. “Gaara, can we perform our project on Friday?”
“This Friday…” Gaara said. “Why?”
“I am going somewhere next week so I will not be able to showcase my project to you and the whole class.” Ashley explained. “I hope it’s not too soon.”
“Actually, I already finished my project about you.” Gaara said, smiling. “All I need is your voice.”
“My voice…” She repeated, blushing.
“Yeah…” Gaara said. “I need you to sing a song.”
“Okay…” She said. “What song did you had in mind?”
“Listen to your heart by DHT.” Gaara replied.
“Okay…” She said. Then they were in front of the house. “Well, thank you for walking me home Gaara.”
“Don’t mention it.” Gaara said. “Take care Ashley…”
“Okay…” She said, smiling. She was about to walk away until Gaara grabbed her hand. “Gaara, is there something wrong?”
“I…Well… Sorry…” Gaara said, letting her go. Damn it… I feel like a totally idiot and to make it worst, I was an idiot in front of her. “I don’t know what came over me.” She leaned towards him and kissed him lightly on the cheek. He blushed viciously.
“Goodnight Gaara…” She said, walking away.
“Goodnight…” He said, blushing even more. Now I feel like a loser… The boy always makes the first move. He touched his cheek. He watched her walk into her house.
“Home at last…” Ashley said. She then collapse to the floor. She was coughing out blood. She was coughing more blood than before. She leaned on the door. “I don’t think I have much time left.” She crawled up the stairs and into Sasuke’s room. She coughed more blood. “Why me?” She started crying. “Why do I have to die?”
Ashley walked through the hallway by herself, staring at her phone. I can’t believe I kissed him… I don’t know what came over me. She let out a blush. “Stupid emotions…” She kept on walking until a girl with red hair and red eyes blocked her path. “Excuse me… May I go through?”
“So you’re the one that hook Sakura up with Sasuke.” Karin snapped.
“Do you have a problem with that?” Ashley replied, moving around her and walking away.
“I wasn’t done talking to you.” Karin screamed, grabbing her hand. “You think that you live with Sasuke that you are safe from harm.”
“I don’t need that loser. I can fight my own battles.” Ashley said, staring at her. “If you want to fight me than by all means, let’s get serious.”
“You dare challenge me.” Karin snapped. She swung her hand but Ashley’s caught it. Ashley pinned her to the locker and moved to her ear.
“I am a very peaceful person. I hate violence but if you want to fight me then you can.” Ashley whispered. “It’s your choice.”
“**** YOU…” Karin screamed swinging her leg. Ashley caught her leg and pinned her to the floor. “LET GO OF ME.”
“I warned you.” She said.
“SASUKE…” Ino said, racing towards him and Sakura. “SAKURA…”
“Ino…” Sakura said. “Is there something wrong?”
“Ashley and Karin are fighting in the Hallway.” Ino said, taking deep breathes. “I couldn’t get through to them because of the crowd.”
“WHAT…” Sasuke said, racing towards the hall. Damn it Ashley… You can’t fight with your condition… He found the crowd of roaring kids. “GET OUT OF MY WAY…” He shoved them away and from Karin on the ground tied up with a bag strap. “Karin, what the hell happened? Where is Ashley?” He helped her get untangled.
“She left after trapping me.” Karin said.
“Why were you in a fight with her in the first place Karin?” Sakura snapped.
“It’s none of your business… She won alright…” Karin admitted, looking away. “All I know that she went that way.” She pointed to her right. They raced away, leaving her be.
“ASHLEY…” Sasuke screamed. He found her coming out of the ladies room. “You idiot… Why were you in a fight?”
“I can’t call it a fight… More like an argument.” Ashley replied, walking towards him. “I’m alright.”
“So trapping Karin with her own bag was funny?” Sasuke snapped. Sakura let out a giggle. “Sakura, you are not helping here.”
“You have to admit Sasuke, it was funny.” Sakura said, giggling even more. She kissed him on the cheek. “Come on…”
“Sakura, you are so annoying sometimes.” Sasuke said, smiling. “Also, you are right.”
“I told you…” Sakura said, smiling back. She then turned to Ashley. “Ashley, did you get hurt?”
“No, I am fine.” Ashley replied. I am glad they are together. “Well, I have to meet up with Chouji. See you guys later…”
“Okay and stay out of trouble.” Sasuke said.
“Yes Daddy…” She replied sarcastically.
“That girl… Sometimes I want to punch her.” Sasuke snapped, gripping his fist.
“You are too protective over her.” Sakura said, cupping his face. “You should try to give her some freedom. She can handle herself.”
“I guess you are right but I don’t want anything bad to happen to her.” Sasuke said.
“She has good friends and also has a lot of brothers. She has Chouji, Naruto, Shikamaru, and you and since Itachi is going to be wed to Alexia, he is one of the brothers also. So there is no need to worry.” Sakura pointed out. “What can possibly go wrong?”
“Sakura, I love you…” Sasuke said, kissing her forehead.
“I love you too Sasuke…” Sakura said, giggling.
This is the shortest one I ever did... I hope you enjoy it.
Itachi, Aleria, Alexia, Deidara, and Sasori were at the Gardens. They were already sitting on their table, eating their meal. “I hope Sasuke and Ashley are okay.” Alexia said, looking worried.

“SHUT UP….” Deidara screamed. “She will dance with me.”

“I told you…” Sakura said, smiling back. She then turned to Ashley. “Ashley, did you get hurt?”
“No, I am fine.” Ashley replied. I am glad they are together. “Well, I have to meet up with Chouji. See you guys later…”
“Okay and stay out of trouble.” Sasuke said.
“Yes Daddy…” She replied sarcastically.
“That girl… Sometimes I want to punch her.” Sasuke snapped, gripping his fist.
“You are too protective over her.” Sakura said, cupping his face. “You should try to give her some freedom. She can handle herself.”
“I guess you are right but I don’t want anything bad to happen to her.” Sasuke said.
“She has good friends and also has a lot of brothers. She has Chouji, Naruto, Shikamaru, and you and since Itachi is going to be wed to Alexia, he is one of the brothers also. So there is no need to worry.” Sakura pointed out. “What can possibly go wrong?”
“Sakura, I love you…” Sasuke said, kissing her forehead.
“I love you too Sasuke…” Sakura said, giggling.
This is the shortest one I ever did... I hope you enjoy it.
