Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Split personality, Samaia of the other world ❯ 3. I will show you ( Chapter 3 )

I still hate myself for leaving Samaia like that. She didn't deserve it to be treated like that by me. Nowadays I laugh with her when we think back at it. However, I sill feel sorry and I always give her a bit more affection, or a gift, after we discussed it. She doesn't seem to notice, or she just ignores it. Oh, for your information, yes, we're together again. How? Well, that's where my storie gets interesting. But to explain that part, we'll have to go back to my school, a few days after we broke up. Or actually, I broke up with her…

I start my cell phone up. 10 messages -8 from Samaia, 2 from my voicemail- and 15 missed calls, all from Samaia. I remove them all and put my cell phone back in my pocket. “Ralf!” Jared and the others have noticed me walking over the schoolyard and they are now waving and calling out for me. I run to join them, forcing myself to smile. “Hey you guys, what's up?” I ask with a fake smile and fake happiness.
“We heard it about Samaia and you, pal. Are you alright?” asks Edward. I want to answer, but right on that moment, walks Samaia with a couple of friends past us. She's talking and laughing with them. Our eyes meet for a mere moment, but I can see that her eyes stand sad. She must be pretending, just like me. NO! I'm not pretending, I'm totally over her.
“…Ralf, are you listening?”
“Huh? Yeah, I'm listening and trust me, I'm alright. I'm over her.” My friends all look at me with an expression of unbelief of their faces. “Oh come on you guys! I'm fine, really! Trust me, freedom feels good.”
“Alright then,” says Edward doubtful.
“Welcome back into the free world, pal!” says Jared while he puts his arms around my shoulders, in a friendly way of course. “We're two lonely wolves, you and I. And boy, doesn't it feel great?” he asks and he howls as a wolf. I laugh ad join my friend. Our howl ends in a laugh. “Alright you wolves, we've got to get going. School's starting in a few minutes,” says Jacob laughing.

I open my lock to get my books. The first thing I see when I open the door, is a picture of Samaia. I should remove it, our fight was three days ago, but I hadn't had any time to do so, `cause our fight was on Friday, so this is our first school day after. It's only natural that it's still in here. I mean, it may not have had legs, so… ah whatever. I rip the picture from the door of my locker and look at it. I can feel a strange flash of pain through my body. Why does this silly girl sill make me feel this? There're lots of cute girls on this stupid school, so why does this single girl make me crazy…still? I take my books and close my lock while I sigh. I shouldn't care, I know I shouldn't. Damn! “Ralf, math class is starting!”
“Coming!”

“What's wrong, Sakura? You seem so restless,” asks Naruto, “did something go wrong with Sasuke?”
“No, Sasuke is fine. His surgery went just fine. We've got most of poison from Orochimaru's cursed seal out of his system. He'll be fine.”
“Ah, that's good. But what is bothering you then?” asks Naruto. The two teammates are walking through the halls of Konoha hospital. “Well, remember the last time we brought Samaia home and that you bumped into that strange boy?”
“Uhm… yes, what about it?”
“I just wondered who that was and what happened between him and Samaia after we left. Samaia sounded pretty upset about something when I talked to her on the phone, yesterday.”
“I don't know, maybe they had a fight.” Sakura arches an eyebrow. “You know Samaia. She's not the type of person who stays upset about a simple fight for so long. Maybe something even worse then a fight happened. What do you thing?”
“Uhmm… Sakura, you realize you're asking this to a boy, right?” says Naruto on a dry tone.
“Oh! You're right. Sorry,” says Sakura laughing. They stop before the door of the intensive care. “Here it is,” announces Sakura. Naruto sighs nervously. Shall Sasuke remember him? Sakura told him that the poison, which was activated when they killed Orochimaru, had the affected a part of his brain where his memories lay. Sakura also told him that she didn't know how much Sasuke had forgotten due to the poison. “You ready?” Sakura asks with her hand on the doorknob. Naruto nods. “Let's do it.” Sakura opens the door and they walk into their old friend's room.

“Hello, Sakura Haruno here,” says Sakura when she picks up her cell phone. Sakura? It's me, Samaia.”
“Samaia. What a nice surprise. How are you doing?” asks Sakura, surprised to get a call from her friend from the States.
“Can we talk?” asks the voice of the phone, not responding to Sakura's question.
“Sure. What's wrong? You sound exhausted.”
*Sigh* “How…how's Uchiha doing?”
“Sasuke is fine. We managed to get most of the poison out of his system. His brain wasn't nearly as damaged as we thought. He remembered Naruto and me when we visited him two days ago.”
“And what about his other memories?”
“We think that he completely forgot everything about his time with Orochimaru. However, there are some signs that he still has the knowledge of the techniques he learned. Why?”
“And the festival? Will he be able to participate?”
“Well, about the festival. Tsunade-sama has let it been post-phoned. She wants to wait until Sasuke is able to come, you know, as a sort of `Welcome-home' party. Samaia what is…” But Samaia cuts her off. “When will the festival be held then?”
“Uhm… let me see. From the looks of it now, I would say… in two weeks.”
“Okay. Listen, I need to talk to the Fifth. Can you give me her number?”
“Yeah, sure. Let me see. 666-967938429 (this is a fake phone number, at least I think it is, so please don't try it). Samaia are you really alright?” The voice on the other side of the line stays quiet. “Samaia?” Then Sakura hears sobbing on the other side. “Samaia? What's wrong? What the hell happened?!”
“Could you… *Sniff* could you come over? I *sniff*…”
“Okay I understand. Give me 30 minutes and I'll be there. Shall I take Hinata and Ihno with me?”
“Please…”
“Okay, I'll see you in 30 minutes.”
“30 minutes.”
“Later Samaia.”
“Okay.”

“Sakura? Hinata? Ihno? What's wrong girls?”
“Hello Mrs/ Lambrouch. We're here for Samaia. She called us and asked us to come over. She seemed pretty upset,” explains Sakura.
“She is. Well, some on in girls. Samaia is upstairs in her room,” says Mrs Lambrouch and she lets the girls in.
“Thank you, ma'am. We know the way.” The girls walk straight to Samaia's room and knock there on the door. “Samaia, it's us,” says Hinata. Samaia opens the door and flies around Sakura's neck. “Sakura… Hinata… Ihno… I'm so happy you're all here. He… he left me! He left me!” says Samaia while she sobs and cries uncontrollable. The three ninja girls can see that their friend has been crying for hours and they put their arms around her. Samaia just keeps on crying in their arms.

I throw my bag in the corner of my room. School sucked today, again! I let myself fall on my bed and I now stare to the ceiling. “This suck,” I say to myself. It has been more than 3 weeks now since I broke up with Samaia and I still can't get her out of my mind. Of course I almost have a new girlfriend, Kika, a cute 10th grader and a transfer student from NY-city. All it took me seduce her were a few smiles in her direction during class and a note to ask her on a date. She's almost mine. Samaia will regret what she did to me!
I take the picture frame with a picture of Samaia and me, from my night drawer next to my bed. I grin. Soon, this stupid old picture will be switched by a picture of me and my soon to be girlfriend. I stop grinning and look at the picture. We're both smiling in this picture, Samaia and I. I was pushing a kiss on her cheek and she was laughing. I sigh. I can feel something wet in the corner of one of my eyes. Tears?
“Damn it!”
I throw the frame away and it smashes against the wall. The glass makes an awful noise when it breaks. I don't need her! She needs me! She's not my world, I'm hers! So why…? Tears now roll freely over my face. So, why do I feel this miserable?

New day, new attitude and a new chance to make our little cute transfer student, mine. I can feel a new energy floating through my veins and it feels great! I open my locker. I'm late and so, alone in the hallways. I don't care at all. A voice behind my locker's door says my name. “Ralf?” Samaia? I close my locker, ignoring her completely. “Can we talk?” her voice is steady. Why? “Everything that had to be said is said, Samaia. I've got nothing more to say to you.” I want to walk away, I still haven't looked at her. “Wait!” she says firmly. I stop and turn around. I gasp loudly. The girl I see before me looks nothing like the Samaia I know. She wears a dress that starts just above her breasts and stops around her knees, with two cuts in the skirt, on either side one. Underneath it she wears tight pants that stop around her calves. The naked skin on her upper body is covered by a net t-shirt. Her arms, from the elbow to her middle fingers are covered by black gloves. The dress itself is black with giant red flowers on it, not frumpy but cool, and a piece of white cloth around her waist, held together by red lether belt with a small bag attacked to it. Her hair is tied together in a single loose braid and on her forehead she wears a headband with a metal front.
“Samaia, what the…?”
“You wanted to know, right?”
“Well, yeah… but…”
I can't explain it… but.”
“But what? Samaia what's going on?” Samaia takes my hand in her own and pulls me after her. “Trust me, Ralf. Come with me and I'll show you.”
“Show what?” I ask while I walk after her, away from the empty halls and the deserted school yard. “I will show you… the truth.”
