Chapter 4: Girlfight!!Last Time:They leaned in, drawn to each other in that one moment, but before they could kiss…
“Well, well… look at this! Better drop her now boy, or you’ll wind up being her next notch in the bedpost.” -+-‘Keiko…' Serenity thought with a mental groan. ‘Of course this bitch just HAD to show up and kill the moment! God dammit, I didn’t think she was invited to this party…' She looked at Shino, but before she could say anything he shoved her away and out of his arms.
And the look on Shino’s face was cold, disappointed; and if she saw it right, disgusted. Like he had just realized that she was really a whore… and it broke her heart. She had thought that they had something, that she had a chance; that he liked her too. ‘But of course that can’t happen…’ she thought to herself. But she swallowed all of those thoughts, took a deep breath, and turned around to look at Keiko.
-+-Keiko Nakamura, 21 years old, former teammate of Team Anko. She was a short, petite girl with blue eyes and shoulder-length red hair.
She and Serenity had started out friends; they were best friends in fact. They got along really well; they shared a love for couture fashion and Thai food, and they both loved the same music. But when they were assigned to the same team, things went sour.
In Keiko’s eyes, Serenity was everything she wanted to be. Serenity always got the most attention; and it seemed that no matter what Keiko did, she never got recognized for her accomplishments. Serenity was beautiful; she had the big breasts, the Barbie doll figure, perfect skin, perfect hair, long legs… EVERYTHING! Serenity could have any guy that she wanted! And to make it worse in Keiko’s eyes, she flaunted it!!Keiko hated Serenity. She had money, her choice of guys, popularity, recognition; a perfect life! And what did Keiko have? A divided family, poor deadbeat parents, and meager ninja skills. Even her looks were nothing special. In Keiko’s mind, her best feature was her eyes; her eyes! She hated everything else about herself. She had tiny breasts, pale skin, too many freckles to count and big feet.
But what Keiko couldn’t see was that Serenity’s life was anything but perfect. Keiko was too lost in hate and contempt for Serenity to see the good things in herself. That made her miserable, and that made her want to bring Serenity down to her level and make Serenity feel as bad as she.And that’s why, when she saw Serenity with Shino… she decided that was her one chance to cut Serenity to the quick. To take away any chance Serenity might have had at happiness. Keiko was a very observant person… she knew that Serenity had fallen for Shino, and that was why she planned to do everything in her power to make Serenity seem so repulsive that no one would ever entertain the thought of laying with her ever again.-+-“What are you doing here, Keiko?” Serenity said in a tight voice, laced with frustration.
“Unless it’s escaped your knowledge, sweetie, this isn’t a private party. I can be here if I want to!” Keiko said with a sneer.By this time, everyone on in the club was watching the scene unfold on the dance floor. Even the DJ had stopped the music.“Why in the hell do you do this? Every damn time I see you, you try to start something!” Serenity said. As if her life wasn’t bad enough already; she had just lost any chance of being with Shino, and her heart was broken into pieces; all because Keiko had to ruin it by bringing up demons from Serenity’s past.
“Oh please. Don’t try to act like you’re a saint or something. We all know you’re a whore, I’m just calling it like I see it!” Keiko fired back.“Look here, bitch.” Serenity started. It was time to end this, and quick. “I think the only reason you keep attacking me, is because you know the real me. And then you turn around, and call me names, because you want to make yourself feel better! No one in this room gives a damn what you say. You just have to keep talking shit, because people won’t pay attention to you otherwise!”
Keiko gave a derisive snort. “Ha! And you think you’re more important than me? That you’re better than me? In case you haven’t noticed, I have a husband! And that’s because I haven’t slept with half of Konoha! And I haven’t had a child just to trap someone into my life!”There was a collective gasp around the room.
“What?” Serenity was shell-shocked. “You think that I used Daisuke, and had a child just so I could trap him into marrying me?”
“Of course. How else would you ever get a husband? I mean, everyone knows how easy you are. And who wants someone else’s sloppy…” Keiko paused to make a fake thinking face. “Hmm, how many people have you slept with? I know I lost count years ago! And what about the childbirth? No way you’re worth a damn anymore!!"A loud collective gasp was heard all around the room, and a classic ‘oh, no she didn’t!’ hung in the air; just as audible as if someone had spoken the words aloud.
Serenity was livid by now. She was so mad she couldn’t even speak! She had only slept with six people in her life, but if she said that, it would prove Keiko’s point. Serenity had quit being a ninja and left Konoha in the first place because she had felt like Konoha’s token whore. Most all of her missions had consisted of having to seduce the target for information. Even though only two of her partners were mission targets; all the other times, she managed to get the necessary information without having to degrade herself.And in America, music was all about being sexy. Tits and ass were all she was to her record label… and she had fought so damn hard to put good music onto the airwaves. She did it too, but even the in the more serious videos, she had to sex it up for the cameras. No matter where she went, she was being propositioned. And if she let them, they would bleed her dry of all her money.Eventually, Serenity had to quit the music business as well. Apparently, she just couldn’t escape from the stigma of “whore” that seemed to be tattooed on her forehead in blinking lights. Even in returning to Konoha she couldn’t escape it! And then, to top it off, she’s about to fight in public with a former teammate?
Can my life get any worse? Serenity thought to herself.“Mmhmm.” Keiko’s condescending voice brought Serenity back to reality. “See? Look at you! You know I’m right, that’s why you can’t defend yourself! What must your child think? You’ve set a horrible example for your daughter, you know. How do you think she will feel when she finds out her mother was a whore? I swear, you have got to be the worst mother ever!”That did it right there. The quip about her being a bad mother; Serenity saw red, and the next thing she knew she had punched Keiko squarely in the jaw.“You bitch!” Keiko screamed as she launched her own punch back. But Serenity blocked it, and then slapped Keiko across the face. Keiko got her bearings and grabbed Serenity’s hair. And the battle was on.The two girls clawed and scratched at each other as they struggled to tear each other apart. Serenity yanked out a piece of Keiko’s hair, and Keiko ripped Serenity’s dress down the arm. From there, everyone came to their senses and moved to break the girls apart. Naruto grabbed Serenity’s arm while Shino got her around the waist. Two bystanders in the crowd took down Keiko. It was a struggle as Serenity tried to break free, but Shino and Naruto held her in place.“Serenity, calm down!” Shino said to her.
“No!!” Serenity yelled as she struggled to break free. “I’ll kill her!”
Naruto grabbed her chin and turned her to face him.“Look at me.” Naruto said.
“NO!! Let me go!” Serenity said as she continued to break their hold.
“Look at me!!!” Naruto said with force this time. Reluctantly, Serenity met his eyes. “It’s over! You won, she’s been kicked out. Just calm down.”“But, but…” Serenity started as she got her breathing under control. The realization of what had just happened was dawning on her.“That was a low blow.” Shino said in her ear. “No one blames you… it’s okay. You’re not a horrible mother.” Serenity turned to face him.“And how do you know that?” Serenity said with tears in her eyes. “How do I know you’re not just saying that to get me to calm down?”“Serenity,” Shino looked her in the eyes. “I know you; I’ve seen you take care of Sayuri. You are a wonderful mother. And never doubt what anyone says.”Serenity took a deep, calming breath and let it out slowly.
“Yea… okay.” Serenity said as the bile rose in her throat, ‘but that’s all I am to you, isn’t it?' She thought to herself as she, Naruto, and Shino moved back to their table.By now everyone had settled down, and gotten back to dancing. No one said anything about the fight; they knew too well not to speak about it. Serenity was in a bad mood right now, and everyone knew not to make Serenity mad.
“Are you feeling up to singing my song tonight, baby?” Ino said as she sat next to Serenity.“Sure, but I really need to leave after I do. I need to get home and get ready for tomorrow.” Serenity replied.“All right, girl. It’s okay, when do you want to sing it?” Ino asked. She was looking out for Serenity, she knew all along about Keiko and Serenity’s relationship. But Ino hadn’t rented the bar for the night, so she couldn’t keep Keiko away.
“I’ll go ahead and do it. Any certain one you want me to sing?” Serenity said.“Just whichever song you want. Preferably one that will make you feel better.” Ino said. She also knew how much emphasis Serenity placed on her music for emotional release. And Serenity already had enough problems on her plate.Serenity moved over to the DJ booth, and again asked him to run the music for her song. She chose one of her Spanish songs; she wanted to sing one that the audience wouldn’t understand in words, but would feel her emotions. Take the literal understanding of a song out, and the listener is left with only the emotions; it’s much easier to connect that way. She took up a microphone, and as she took the stage she looked around and spotted Shino. Her heart twisted painfully, and gave her the perfect inspiration to perform the song.A soft, melodic harmony of Latin guitar and piano notes floated through the speakers. She took a deep breath and sang:Quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois qu’un Dieu existe
Ce n’est pas dur d’y croire
(When you take me in your arms
when I look into your eyes
I know God still exists
you make me believe)
Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
Y me canse de besar ranas en vano
Pero el príncipe azul
Jamás lo encontré
(Before I met you the world was flat
though you, Mr. Galileo, might argue that
and I got tired of kissing frogs
Prince Charming
never showed up)
She scanned the crowd as she sang, watching the faces. They were trained on her, some trying to understand the words, others simply enjoying the sound of her voice. She glanced over at the table where Shino sat. He was watching her, and hopefully understanding what she was trying to convey. But he had on his glasses so she couldn’t tell. Still, she sang.
(Y así llegaste tu
Devolviéndome la fe
Sin poemas y sin flores
Con defectos con errores
Pero en pie
(And then you arrived
Restoring my faith
Without poems or flowers,
with defects and faults
But standing straight)
And Shino had done that, she thought sadly as she sang the words. She hadn’t meant to fall for him, and he hadn’t tried to make her. He was just there, and by doing that she couldn’t help but fall.
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que
Dios no dejo de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
(And there’s something
something in you, something between the two of us
that makes me persist
when I look in the pupils of your eyes, I know that God still exists
You make him live
you make him live)
Or at least she had, until he pushed her away. She felt the hot sting of tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
La vida es una colección de recuerdos
Pero a nada como a tu recuerdo tan bien
Desde la redondez de tus labios
Al olor de tu pelo
Al color de tu piel
No pienses que te iras y me voy a resignar
(Life is a collection of memories
But I don’t remember anything as well as I remember you
From the fullness of your lips
To the color of your hair
To the smell of your skin
Don’t think you’ll go and I’ll just accept it?)
Why in the world had she fallen for him? That was a stupid question. No one man in her life, except her father and male friends, had ever treated her as anything worthwhile. She knew she shouldn’t have fallen, but she did. She couldn’t help but love everything about Shino.
Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
Y aun más
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas sé que Dios no dejo de existir
Tú lo haces vivir
Tú lo haces vivir
(You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me
Among the sacred and mundane
And even more than that
And there’s something
Something in you, something between the two of us
that makes me persist
When I look in the pupils of your eyes, I know that God still exists
You make him live
you make him live)
She finished the song to thunderous applause. But she was still empty inside. Singing hadn’t helped; it had only made her feel worse. She made her way off the stage and to the booth to gather her things and say goodbye to everyone. After the night she’d had, she just wanted to go home and curl under her covers and never come out again. So as soon as it was appropriate, she high-tailed it out of the bar.
-+-Shino, however hadn’t taken his eyes off of Serenity through the whole performance. He loved to watch her when she performed. He loved the way her eyes shined, and the euphoric blush that graced her face when she danced and sang. On stage, she was most in her element, and in Shino’s eyes, her most beautiful. Though, as he looked on, he noticed that her eyes looked dull and lifeless. And that confused him. He was hoping that her having the chance to do what she loved the most, would help her feel better after the whole Keiko fiasco.
“But apparently not…’ Shino thought to himself as she chatted with their friends, and said her goodbyes to the group. He knew she was still upset about Keiko, and as she headed for the door, he got up and followed her out. “Serenity, wait!” he said as he jogged to catch up with her.
-+-As the crisp night air hit her skin, Serenity was left feeling as empty as before. Though everyone cheered, she knew they were just clapping for the performance. She saw it in their eyes; they weren’t clapping for her, because she was ruined goods in their eyes. How could she face any of them after beating up her former teammate in a public brawl?
‘Of course a good performance isn’t going to erase the stain on my name.’ Serenity thought sadly as she made her way through the crowd at the door. She hadn’t really heard herself as she made her goodbyes and best wishes to the happy couple. She’d put on a happy face, though, and everyone seemed to buy it. ‘Now to just get to Rin’s house, grab Sayuri, and crawl under the covers in my sister’s spare bedroom and die lonely.’ She thought as she started walking the path to her sister’s house.She was about twenty feet out the door when she heard Shino say “Serenity, wait!” from behind her. She stopped, and ice water ran through her veins as he approached. Her heart dropped into her stomach. She didn’t want to face him now, not after his rejection of their almost-kiss, and definitely not when she was feeling as shitty as she was. For some odd reason she could never figure out, he always seemed to know when she was upset. She couldn’t hide her emotions from him, and because of that, she didn’t want to be subjected to his prying. She didn’t want to hear his rejection; it was better left unsaid. She wanted to just let the issue, and a major part of her heart and soul, die so she could go ahead and live the rest of her life.“Yes Shino?” She said, but she didn’t turn around. ‘What does he want? He pushes me away after asking me to dance, then runs after me.’ She was confused, and hurt, and totally in love with him. She hadn’t ever loved another man quite like she loved him. And to know that he thought she was a whore was like a knife to her heart. “Do you want me to walk you home?” Shino said as he stopped behind her. He took in the slump of her shoulders, and the tension in her neck. ‘She must be really upset.’ He thought to himself.“Why do you want to walk me home?” she asked back, still not turning around to meet him. Hot tears burned in the corner of her eyes and threatened to fall if she had to look at him.“Because I can tell you’re really upset,” he said as he touched her shoulder lightly. “And I want to make sure you get home safely.” Again, words like a knife to her heart. ‘There he goes again, making me believe that he cares. Why is he doing this to me?! Can’t he tell that I’m upset enough?’“Why do you care so much?” She said, though she couldn’t help the bite of her tone when she said it.“Because you’re one of my closest friends.” He said quietly. He had heard the sharpness of her voice, and he hoped she didn’t turn him away. He really wanted her to be safe; control of emotions was a ninja’s most valuable asset. And right now he knew she was on an emotional rollercoaster. If she couldn’t get a level head, who knows what could happen to her on her way home?“Really?” Serenity could taste the bile in her throat. “Then what was that back there? After that dance?” She couldn’t stop the words from escaping.“What do you mean?” Now Shino was confused. Why was she attacking him about the dance? Was I not good enough at it? He thought to himself.“…” Serenity took a steadying breath before she turned around. “What do I mean?!” She started. “What do you mean, ‘What do you mean?’” She stood at level with him, as she raised her voice at him. “You know what you…” She paused. She looked at his cool and collected face, and her heart shattered, and the tears threatened to fall.‘I can’t do this…’ she thought to herself. ‘Not right here in the street. I need to get away from him… I need time to gather my thoughts…’
“You know what? Never mind…” Serenity said as she turned around before the tears could fall in front of him. “I don’t need a walk home. Just go!” She said as she bolted away. The tears stung her eyes, and she vaguely heard him yell after her to stop. But she plowed onward, using her ninja skills to take to the rooftops. The adrenaline pumped through her veins, and she ran. Ran from everything; all of the anger, the hurt, the pain, all of it. Anything to stop feeling the way she was now. She didn’t care if she was running through the town with a ripped up dress, she didn’t care that the love of her life didn’t return her feelings. Nothing mattered to her anymore except her daughter and her family. And she ran, her long unused leg muscles were screaming for her to stop; but she kept running right to her sister’s front door.As she landed on the porch, and banged on the door until her sister opened up.“Serenity, what…?” Rin started, but one look at her sister’s tear stained face told her to shut up.
Rin knew her sister better than anyone. She would find out what happened tomorrow. She let her in, and Serenity ran up the stairs to the room her sister saved for Sayuri when she stayed over. Sayuri was sleeping peacefully on her stomach, one tiny hand curled under her pillow, and her thumb in her mouth. Her wavy brown hair fell across the pillow, and her serene looking face calmed Serenity down. Serenity moved to the bed, kicked off her shoes, and laid down beside her daughter. As she made herself comfortable next to Sayuri, she got lost in her thoughts again.As the trials of the past three hours took its toll on Serenity, her last waking thought was ‘please don’t let Sayuri ever have to go through this…’ and she fell into slumber curled up next to her daughter. -+-A/N: I know this took forever! And I’m sorry! It took so many different times to get this just the way I wanted it.
