Just so that you’re aware, Kuma-chan uses ‘honorifics’.
-dono, -danna, -sama, -san, -sempai, -kun, and –chan.
It was a bright and sunny day in August. The sun glowed and a soft wind blew. Everyone in a small town in the Water Country called Aoishi was bustling with business (T/N: ‘Aoi’ means ‘blue’, while the meaning of ‘shi’ I’m using means ‘die’ or ‘death’.).
A small child was prancing amongst her flower garden when someone suddenly screamed.
“Run!” the shinobi (T/N: I’m pretty sure that means ‘ninja’!) shouted. “There are intruders attacking the village!” Everyone was terrified, as they were trying to run away from the trespassers and grabbing their children to leave Aoishi.
A large shadow was cast over everyone, and they all stopped in their tracks, looking up only to find that the day had disappeared from their sight. Suddenly, fire surrounded the whole town which left everyone trapped in the enemy’s grasp… except for the little girl in the garden.
The child sat in the middle of the flower patch that was outside of the town’s walls. She watched the scorching fire that bordered the Water village. She gazed in amazement since she’s never seen that before, clapping her hands and giggling. That’s when she was picked up by unknown hands…
Kira Mizushi (T/N: ‘Kira’ sounds like ‘killer’. ‘Mizu’ means ‘water’.) opened her azure blue eyes slowly. “That dream… again?” she asked herself as she sat up in her bed. She pushed off the blanket that wrapped around her and hopped off the bed.
Knock, knock.
A boy with scarlet red hair came through the doorway to her room and wore an expressionless face. “I see that you’ve awoken.” he said. “Get ready. We’re going out today.” He left the room and his black coat flowed behind him.
“Hai, Sasori-sama.” Kira sighed with her head hung low. She ran her fingers through her long silky black hair. (T/N: ‘Hai’ means ‘yes’ or ‘okay’. ‘Sasori’ means ‘scorpion’.)
‘How long have I been here?’ she thought. ‘Eight or so years? And what have I learned about myself other than my name and age? Nothing. Nothing…’
“Hey, un!” A boy with blonde hair tied into a neat pony-tail walked into the room with his arm raised into the air. “You should get a door, you know.”
Kira looked up with a cheerful smile and ran into his arms. “Ohayou, Dei-kun!” (T/N: ‘Ohayou’ means ‘morning’.)
“Sasori-dono says we’re going to go out today.” He grinned.
“I know so… guard the door so I can change!” she said while pushing him out of her room. “Don’t look, or else I’m gonna bite you!”
Deidara chuckled and nodded his head.
“I’m serious!” Kira warned, keeping an eye on him.
She undressed herself, throwing her silk lavender pants and camisole into a basket. She searched through her oak drawers and pulled out a lacey, black bra. She turned and faced the closet which was opposite from which the room door faced, and opened the large closet door.
Deidara decided to take a quick peek sensing that she couldn’t see what he was doing. He turned around silently and looked at her. He was blushing an intense shade of red when he saw her sleek figure- pale, curved in the right places…
Kira quickly reached over to the radio on top of her dresser and tuned into the Japanese music station. “Next on our anime marathon, we’ll be playing SCRAMBLE from School Rumble!” the host announced.
Kira squealed, since that was one of her current favorite songs. The song started to play, and her head bobbed from side to side. She sang along… (A/N: Please refer to Kuma-chan or animelyrics.com for the lyrics ^-^)
Deidara kept watching her. ‘She’s dancing… only in her PANTIES!’ he thought as he eyed her hips as they swayed from left to right, right to left. He felt his face getting hotter, and he averted his gaze back to the wall outside in the hall.
Kira reached into her closet and snatched an outfit that was on a black hanger. She clasped her B-cup (A/N: Yes, B-cup! I hate how there are those fan-fictions with girls’ boobs being like, a D-cup. Gawd.) bra on and slid her fingerless gloves onto her arms. She pulled on a white blouse, and a pair of soft, black jeans. She then slipped her black flak jacket on and her shiny leather boots.
The song had finished, and it switched to Shissou from Ouran High School Host Club. Kira nodded along with the beat and sat on her comfortable bed. Deidara spun toward the direction Kira was sitting and smirked.
“You looked and I never said that I was finished!” Kira exclaimed laughing. “Hentaisha!” (T/N: ‘Hentaisha’ means pervert.)
Deidara faced the other way and replied, “Tch. I heard you sit on your bed, yeah!”
“Honto ni?” she inquired.
“Honto yo!” he nodded and strolled over to her, and then leaned forward placing his face an inch away from hers. (T/N: ‘Honto’ means ‘really’. ‘Yo’ adds emphasis. ‘Ni’ makes it a question I think…)
“A-ano…” she stammered. (T/N: ‘Ano’ means ‘um’.)
“You said before that you’d bite me if I peeked, un.” Deidara smirked again. “Apparently what I just did counts as peeking, yeah.”
“Do you want me to bite you?” Kira inquired, leaning back a little to get further away, but it was just a futile attempt. Deidara just leaned forward keeping the same distance away until Kira was lying on the bed, with him on top.
“Maybe when you’re older, Kira-chan.” He smiled and rolled over to the side so he could lie next to Kira.
Kira wiggled and faced him. “I’m old enough!” she pouted. You see, Kira was thirteen while Deidara was eighteen. (Just in case if you’re really lazy or can’t do math, that’s a five year difference.)
They locked gazes, and then Deidara unexpectedly brushed his lips softly on her forehead. (A/N: WASN’T THAT UNEXPECTED, GUYS?! *laughs at self*)
Kira’s face turned into a deep shade of red. “You want to bite me now, yeah?” Deidara said mockingly.
“W-what…?” She stuttered. She had no idea what to say. She had over-flowing feelings for Sasori, Deidara, and Itachi already, and then out of the blue, Deidara kissed her! ‘I must be insane right now…’ she thought to herself.
“Shocked, are we?” Deidara said sitting up and sliding off the bed.
“Chigau yo!” Kira exclaimed. “Well… sort of.” She sat back up on her bed and looked right into Deidara’s eyes. They locked gazes again, and Kira tried leaning in for a kiss on the lips when a boy with an orange swirled mask that covered his face popped into the room. (T/N: ‘Chigau’ means ‘No’.)
“Ohayou gozaimasu!” He said gleefully. (T/N: ‘Ohayou gozaimasu’ means ‘good morning’.)
“Ohayou gozaimasu, Tobi-chan!” Kira replied, averting her attention to Tobi.
‘She just… was… ano…’ Deidara was astonished, thinking about what happened before Tobi flew into the room.
“Deidara-sempai!” Tobi squealed, and glomped Deidara.
Deidara’s thoughts were interrupted as he tried to push Tobi off, but that made Tobi hug Deidara tighter. Deidara finally gave in, and Tobi released Deidara from the tight embrace.
“Tobi, would you stop doing that, yeah?!” Deidara yelled.
“Tobi loves you!” Tobi said sounding joyful.
“Urusai, Tobi…” Deidara said with a cold voice, giving Tobi a death glare. (T/A/N: ‘Urusai’ means ‘shut up’ or ‘noisy’. Hee hee! I love putting “death glares” into scenes!)
Tobi started to whimper like a little puppy, and fell onto his knees, his shoulders slumping.
“Deidara-kun! Apologize!” Kira ordered, getting on her knees and cuddling Tobi trying to make him feel better.
“Chigau yo!” Deidara yelled, stomping out of the room.
“Deidara, you better get your a** back in here!” Kira screamed at the top of her lungs.
Deidara replied in the same volume. “********, no!”
“Fine!” She screamed so much louder that another voice came through a room that was a little ways down the hall.
“Stop fighting, you idiots!” The voice yelled.
Kira clamped her mouth shut as soon as she heard the voice. It was Kakuzu from Takigakure (T/N: ‘Takigakure’ means ‘Village Hidden in the Waterfall’). Kira has never seen what his moves are or even what he looked like behind that mask of his. She doesn’t know what to expect, so she just cowers in fear when she hears his frozen, angry tone.
Kira managed to smile to try and comfort Tobi more. “Look, if you don’t want Deidara-kun to yell at you or give you mean stares, then why don’t you try and respect his wishes more often?”
Tobi moved his head and faced Kira. He nodded in agreement and stood up. Kira sat there and stared at him for a second. ‘What’s his expression right now…?’ She wondered.
Tobi offered his hand, and Kira gladly accepted. He helped her up, and then quietly exited the room leaving Kira to her thoughts once again.
“What to do now…” she mumbled to herself.
She reviewed what she had already done. Got up, get dressed, greet Deidara and Tobi… That’s when she remembered she needed the bathroom. She sped down the hallway and stopped in front of a closed door with a sign on it.
The sign said:
GTFO. –Itachi &3
“Itachi-san!” Kira shouted while pounding her fists on the door. “I really need the bathroom!” (T/N: ‘Itachi’ means ‘weasel’. *laughs*.)
“Read the damn sign, woman!” Itachi yelled through the door.
Kira glared at the sign. “Let me in!”
“I’m busy! Try later!”
“Why don’t you just admit that you’re a girl?” She irritably screamed.
“What’s going on?” Someone asked to the right of Kira.
“Then say that you’re a man!” Itachi retorted.
Kira turned and faced a man who had blue skin, gills, and shark-like teeth.
“Well Kisame-san, Itachi-san was about to declare that he’s pregnant.” Kira grinned evilly.
“What!” Kisame’s pale blue skin became even paler.
Itachi rushed for the doorknob, opened the door, pressed his hand against Kira’s mouth, and dragged her into the bathroom while closing the door behind him. He gave her a death glare, and spoke. “What the ******** do you want from me?”
He let her out of his grasp, and forced her to face him. Kira blushed a light pink and averted her eyes.
Itachi was half-naked since he was only wearing a black towel that covered his lower half of the body. His upper body though… was bare. His shoulders were nice and broad; his chest was nicely sculpted as well as his abs. He was fit and handsome. His eyes were a deep crimson, as if they were seas of blood; his hair was as black as the night sky… and since he just got out of the shower, it was damp, which gave more emphasis to his extremely black hair. If he wasn’t such an a** to just about everyone, he’d have a girlfriend by now. But actually… ‘Thank Kami-sama that he isn’t in a ‘relationship’…’ Kira breathed a sigh of relief.
“Do you intend to tell me, or do you wish for me to dump your body outside?” Itachi asked roughly.
Kira returned her attention back to him. “I need to brush my teeth and hair…” She said with a soft-spoken voice, obviously yielding to Itachi’s oh-so-sexy appearance.
“Is that so?” He said, “You should hurry up then.” He pointed to the sink, and she glanced at his nice, smooth arms. A shiver went down her spine as soon as she remembered about Deidara. He’d kissed her… but does a kiss on the forehead count? ‘I doubt it!’ she thought.
“Move it!” Itachi barked.
Kira nodded and paced herself over to the sink. She grabbed her glittering pink toothbrush and squeezed light blue mint toothpaste onto it. She placed the brush in her mouth and slowly brushed her teeth carefully- making sure not to miss any spots. ‘I can’t have any decaying!’ She thought to herself. ‘One, that’s not attractive, Two, I can’t afford to go to a dentist…’
Itachi noticed this, you know, her brushing seeming to take as long as the time it would take for Hell to freeze over. He locked the door and strode over to Kira, standing right behind her. (A/N: When I mean ‘right behind her’, I mean right behind her. Like, his body gently pressed against hers type of close ;D)
Kira spat the white goop in her mouth into the sink, and then rinsed her face and mouth. She turned herself around, placing her toothbrush to the side and leaned back on the sink a bit. ‘This seems too awfully familiar…’ she thought.
“Honto?” Itachi inquired with a mischievous smirk.
“D-did you just r-read my mind?” Kira stammered. Her attention divided her thinking between if he really had read her mind, and what Deidara did to her earlier.
“Hai…” Itachi said with his face close enough for Kira to feel his sweet breath on her neck.
As soon as she heard him say yes, she immediately stopped thinking about Deidara and focused on the moment that was happening in front of her… the one that was happening right this second… to her.
“H-hai…” she stuttered. She thought else. ‘Chigau… closer, Itachi-san! Closer!’
“Oh?” He smiled tenderly and draped an arm around her waist. “Closer?” He breathed into her ear.
She wasn’t sure what to say. Should she move? Say no? Think no? What could she do at this point? Kira was officially dazed. Kira just blushed a deep shade of scarlet and shut her eyes tight.
“Confused, are we?” Itachi chuckled.
Kira sighed a little when she heard him chuckle. It wasn’t a harsh chuckle, it was more… cute.
He smiled as he ran his fingers through her hair.
She tried to look elsewhere, but found that she didn’t have the courage to look away from him.
Itachi then compassionately pressed his lips against Kira’s. She let out a small moan and Itachi used that as gained entry inside of her mouth. They explored the other’s mouth with their tongues; playing with each other.
Kisame was left there in the hallway by himself, so he decided to move along and find something for him to do. He walked down the hallway and bumped into a man that was half- black and half-white. A plant like thing surrounded his upper body. It took shape of a Venus Fly-Trap. (A/N: Seriously! I have a picture if you want to see.)
“Ohayou, Zetsu.” Kisame grunted.
Zetsu nodded and they both walked past each other.
Deidara was spread out on his bed which was on the opposite side of Sasori’s. He stared at the ceiling filled with heavy metal band posters as he wore a blank expression. He was thinking intensely. He furrowed his eyebrows and put his arms behind his head to use as a pillow.
“Sasori-dono… Do you think I should apologize, un?” Deidara finally said something. Something he kind of regretted asking.
Sasori got up from his bed, walked over to their bedroom door, and kicked it shut. He then took a seat at their white desk. “My answer depends on yours. Who and what did you do?”
Deidara turned to his side and frowned. “Long or short story, yeah?”
Sasori looked at him with his crystal ruby eyes. (A/N: Ohh! Sparkly! xD) “I have until Kira gets here.”
“Then I guess we have… plenty of time.” Deidara sighed and shifted positions again. He sat up, and laid his back onto the wall. “It all started after I said good morning to Kira…”
(A/N: This becomes rated ‘mature’. Please wait until the next bolded A/N to read again if you can not handle what Kuma-chan has typed below… WARNING. INTENSE. Hee hee! ^-^)
The bathroom was made sound-proof by a special technique Itachi created. Kira’s pants, jacket, boots, and blouse were strewn across the floor.
Itachi was gently sucking Kira’s neck.
“Nnn…” Kira moaned softly.
He picked her up and placed her on top of the sink. The chilly sink sent a shiver down her spine, which made her wrap her arms around his warm and well-formed torso. This caused Itachi to become a bit harder, and he moved his hand on her back over the bra clasp.
Itachi was still (miraculously) clothed by his black towel. Kira only had her black lace panties and push-up bra on. The rest… well, Itachi slowly (and happily) peeled off.
“Itachi-san…” She whispered quietly into his ear.
Itachi became harder when she said his name. He unclasped her bra, and tossed it to the side. The cold of the bathroom tightened Kira’s sensitive nipples. This made her hug him around his neck, so he picked her up bride-style and he carried her over to the large private shower that had ‘Itachi Uchiha’ in gold cursive letters by the entrance.
She wrapped her arms around his neck as he lovingly kissed her. He put her down slowly and turned the shower on, adjusting it to a hot-warm temperature. Itachi then threw his towel over the shower stall, after pinning Kira to a wall. Hot water drenched the two. One piece of clothing left. Black lace panties.
Itachi leaned forward, affectionately kissing her on the lips with an intense passion. He moved his smooth tongue over her lips, wanting to enter her mouth once again.
Kira smiled, and let his tongue slither in. His kisses were hot, compassionate… and she continuously craved for them.
Itachi wrapped his arms around Kira’s delicate waist, and then gradually put her down onto the floor of the shower. He moved his hands from behind her, using one to hold her waist, and the other to leisurely take her black lace away from her.
‘Itachi…’ Kira thought to herself. ‘I’m yearning… for him.’
He spread her legs out, and touched her lips again with his. He roughly slid two fingers into her, thrusting them in and out… in and out.
“Itachi-san!” she gasped. “S-stop!”
He slipped his fingers out, and looked at her with bewilderment. “What?” he managed to say.
“I said… don’t do that…” she breathed. ‘I can’t… do that yet… I just can’t…’
“What!” He yelled while getting to his feet, and picking her up off of the floor.
She shook her head quickly. “Itachi-san, I’m still thirteen… I don’t want to do that yet.”
He stared right into her eyes. His face became cold and expressionless again. “Do we just say that what we just did never happened?”
She nervously played with her thumbs and nodded.
He turned around, grabbed his towel, and was about to leave the shower when he said, “You’re much smarter than I expected.” He then left her there alone, leaving her to stand in the rushing warm water.
(A/N: Well, I’m done typing that naughty part -.-“… I guess you can start reading again if you stopped doing so earlier… *laughs evilly* for the people that did read it… I hope that you didn’t freak out or anything like that… If it was bad, maybe I should try to fix it… but hey, I’m thirteen, and I haven’t actually had sex before. No, I don’t watch porn D:& I just happen to read other fan-fictions and Cosmopolitan magazine! That was long of me to say o__o”…)
‘Tch… I thought I was going to be able to play with her thoroughly, but I guess not.’ Itachi thought, while putting his towel around his waist again. He sighed as he glanced at himself in the mirror. “Doshite?” He asked himself. ‘Why am I so old?’
Itachi was twenty, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized how mature he was.
“Doshite?” Kira heard him say. ‘Doshite...?’ (T/N: ‘Doshite’ means ‘why’.)
She heard some sighing, and then it went silent; the only sound to be heard was the rushing water. She walked over to the shower curtain, and quietly pulled it aside. She blinked when she saw Itachi looming over the sink.
‘I had my own rights to stop him.’ She assured herself. Seeing him like that made her feel bad, but she didn’t want to deal with ‘motherly’ consequences if they really had sex.
She shook her head, then tip-toed over to the towel rack to grab her dark pink towel. She dried herself off, and then covered herself with it.
“Itachi-san…” she whispered to herself.
Kira gathered her clothes and boots as she quietly strode over to the bathroom door; opening it with a small creak, she glanced over her shoulder again, and then looked back out towards the hall.
“Kira…” she heard Itachi say. “Gomenesai…”
Kira stopped and tried to answer back, but the words were stuck as a big lump in her throat.
Her eyes started to tear up a little, but she blinked them away…
“…And that’s what pretty much happened, yeah.” Deidara concluded with a sigh.
Sasori nodded while he was writing what Deidara said onto the paper on his clipboard. “You like my subordinate?” Sasori questioned.
Deidara averted his attention from his hands to Sasori. “I’m pretty sure I said that, un…”
Sasori shifted his eyes back to Deidara. He pushed his glasses up, and then lightly tapped his pen on his lips. “Are you sure about how you feel?”
“Hai!” Deidara exclaimed. “I know I have feelings for her!” He pounded a fist into his pillow.
Sasori shifted his eyes back to his clipboard. “You haven’t told her yet?”
“Chigau, un…” Deidara muttered, looking up at the ceiling. “I just can’t figure out how to tell her, yeah…”
Sasori wrote something down on his clipboard and shook his head. “Do you love her?”
“Do you love her?” Deidara repeated. “Do I love her, yeah…?” He lay back down onto his bed. “I’m not sure… maybe I do.”
“Why have you hesitated about telling her?” Sasori asked.
“I already told you, un!”
Sasori sighed and set his clipboard on the desk. “There isn’t anything more than that?”
Deidara blinked. “There is… I don’t know if she really loves me back… I’m… scared, yeah.”
Kira was in her bedroom again. She dug through her dresser for new under-clothes. She grabbed a navy blue strapless bra and matching navy blue panties. She then dropped her towel onto the floor and slipped on her panties and clasped her bra on.
Kira sighed. First Deidara, and then Itachi… What’s a girl to do? ‘If Sasori pulls something on me, I’m going to totally freak out!’ she thought.
Her shoulders slumped, and she proceeded to her closet. The radio played another song.
“Bokura no Love Style…” Kira said quietly. She reached into the closet and grabbed an outfit that was on a hanger. (T/A/N: ‘Bokura no Love Style’ means ‘Our Love Style’. Ohh! This song is from Ouran High School Host Club ^-^ The Hitachiin kyoudai sing this!!)
She slipped into a white tank-top and a pair of dark blue jeans. She put her feet into her boots, and pulled white arm-socks on.
Kira pulled her hair into a long pony-tail and turned off the radio.
“Time to go…” she said.
Itachi lifted his head up and glared at himself in the mirror.
‘I thought she wanted it…’ he thought. ‘No… I wanted her…’
He vigorously turned the knob on the faucet and splashed his face with the cold water.
‘What’s happening to me…?’ he asked himself. ‘I don’t… I can’t… There’s just no way!’
He looked at himself again. His eyes had grown a little softer since back then…
A boy with crimson eyes and raven-black hair tied into a small pony-tail stood in a short distance behind a tree in the field. He observed his comrades as they were fighting over something… a child?
He strode over to them and looked at her.
“What’s this?” he inquired.
“A kid!” said the blonde boy that was carrying her.
“I know that, you idiot.” The crimson-eyed boy grunted.
“This child was from the village… apparently she was left here.” An older boy with scarlet hair said.
The child was a little girl with long black hair that was kept in a bun. She was sleeping in the blonde boy’s arms.
“Should we give her to Zetsu, yeah?”
“Maybe…”
“We should inform this problem to leader.”
The three nodded and left the sweet-smelling flower patch, their cloaks flowing in the wind…
&3 ----- &3
Kira slowly walked through the empty hallway. She looked around only to find doors. She listened intently only to hear dumb conversations or a T.V. turned on. Sighing, she realized that she stopped in front of Sasori’s and Deidara’s door. She gave it a light knock, and a voice answered her. “Come in.” it said.
Deidara sighed.
Sasori stared at him.
They both sighed.
“Do you intend to tell her?” Sasori asked.
“I will…” Deidara replied with slight hesitation in his voice. “Sooner or later, yeah…”
“I hope you know that you aren’t allowed to do anything that will make her betray me.” Sasori said coldly.
“I-I would never dream of doing that, un!” Deidara exclaimed lying through his teeth.
Sasori gave him a baleful look and Deidara just averted his attention.
A small knock was heard on the door, and Sasori put his clipboard and pen in one of the desk drawers.
The brass knob turned, and Kira walked in with a little sigh. Deidara caught her face before she smiled. It was sad… and confused. ‘What’s going on…?’ he thought.
Kira spoke. “Are we going to go now?”
Sasori nodded and returned to his frozen, expressionless face.
Deidara and Sasori got to their feet and left the room. Kira followed right behind them, shutting the door behind her.
Once they got to the entrance to the cavern, Kira grabbed her bag that was on a hook, and slung it over her shoulder.
Sasori stopped.
Deidara stopped.
Kira kept walking and bumped into Deidara, which in turn he fell.
“What the?!” Deidara yelled, pushing himself off the dirt.
“Oh?” Kira looked at him, and pulled him up. “Gomenesai!”
She accidentally pulled him up too hard, which caused her to fall while she was still holding his arms… which meant he fell on top of her.
“Ow…” the two said in unison.
Sasori turned around and watched them intently.
“Deidara-kun…” Kira and Deidara blushed. Heavily.
“Gomen…” Deidara mumbled while lifting himself off of her.
Kira lay there on the ground, suddenly remembering what she had done with Itachi.
‘s**t!’ she thought. She scrambled to her feet and stepped to the left of Sasori.
Deidara was standing on the right of Sasori.
They looked at each other, and turned the other way.
Sasori finally spoke. “We’re to capture a girl and bring her back to Leader. Understood?”
“Hai, Sasori-sama!” Kira said.
“Yeah, Sasori-dono.” Deidara muttered.
The three navigated through the mountains, all the way to the Earth Country.
“Where are we going exactly?” Deidara asked.
“…Iwakagure.” Sasori replied.
“What the ********!” Deidara screamed.
“Why’d you come along then?” Sasori asked.
“We’re partners!” Deidara exclaimed, going into his face. “You should’ve warned me first!”
“You could always walk back.” Sasori said calmly.
“As if I’d do that!” Deidara yelled.
Kira just watched the two in amusement. She muffled a laugh, and then the two looked at her. She averted her attention, and spun around to face elsewhere.
Deidara sighed and shut up.
Sasori made a quick grin for his victory, and then resumed to his cold face.
The three kept on until it was nightfall.
“We’re at least two or three days away…” Deidara said.
“We’re in the middle of a forest, Sasori-sama!” Kira cried. She hated bugs.
Sasori looked at her and actually sighed. “Look,” he said. “We’re going to be in here for about another day before we get out. You either sleep, or we keep on traveling.”
Deidara and Kira looked at Sasori as though he were crazy.
“I’d rather sleep.” She said pulling a small blanket out of the bag she brought.
“What the---!” Deidara’s eye twitched. Then again, he still had his cloak to depend on. Kira was wearing a white tank-top. He shifted his gaze to her as she sat down and leaned her back against a tree. She was wrapped up in a black blanket, slowly drifting off to sleep. He walked up to her, and she blinked.
‘What does he want…?’ Kira thought.
“Can I sleep next to you?” Deidara asked.
“Huh? Oh yeah…” she said a little surprised.
Deidara set himself next to her, and they both looked up at the sky. It was gorgeous. The stars glittered in the black abyss and the moon was full and shone a soft light.
Kira laid her head on Deidara’s shoulder. “Isn’t it beautiful?” she asked.
“I guess so…” he answered. ‘Not as beautiful as you though…’
“Stars explode when they die.” Kira said giggling.
“Is that so?” he asked. “Maybe I should start making my clay bombs in the shape of stars.”
Kira smiled and hugged him. “This is fun… I love spending time with you, Deidara-kun.”
Deidara blushed. “I like spending time with you too, yeah.”
Sasori left the two and sat on a high branch in one of the further trees. He stayed away because he wanted the two to be by themselves. No interruptions. He sighed and looked at the moon, leaning back on the tree, thinking about everything that’s happened so far…
Kira’s eyelids were heavy. ‘Damn… I’m tired.’ She thought.
Deidara glanced at her, and then back to the moon. “Hm…”
“I love you…” she mumbled.
“Huh?” Deidara looked at her and saw that she had fallen asleep in his lap.
He sighed when he thought about what he had said earlier that day. He was scared. He didn’t want to get hurt. He didn’t want rejection. He wanted to be happy… but he still wanted Kira to be happy too.
Deidara smiled softly and leaned forward, lightly brushing his lips against Kira’s.
A small smile spread across her face.
‘I-is she awake?’ he thought. He looked at her questionably and then relaxed. ‘I guess she isn’t then…’
He gently stroked her soft, dark hair as he closed his eyes. “Please tell me you love me…” he mumbled to himself. “…because I’m finding it hard to tell you first, un.”
He placed his hand on her stomach, the other in his pocket, then let himself fall asleep… trying to think of what to do next.
“I’m tired!” a young boy with tied blonde hair and mouths on his hands complained. He pouted as he and two others walked along the barren mountain side.
“Urusai, baka.” said the boy that wielded the Sharingan.
“We’re almost there, so stop bickering.” the eldest of the three said. He had crimson red hair and his eyes were dull.
They walked another mile or so in silence and stopped at a dead-end.
“Go, Deidara.” The eldest boy instructed. The blonde walked through the rock wall as if it were nothing.
Deidara walked in further and down a clean, tan hallway carrying the little girl. She shuffled around a little, and yawned while rubbing her eyes.
“Oh, no!” Deidara groaned.
The child then opened her eyes and screamed. “Where’s Okaa-san and Otou-san?”
“Urusai!” Deidara warned.
The girl hushed. She was scared. Deidara could feel her trembling on his back. He walked slowly down the long hall, until they finally got to end of it. There were enormous polished oak doors sitting in front of them. Deidara let the girl down quickly and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” A chilly voice commanded.
“Hmm…” Deidara grumbled as he awoke from his slumber.
He stretched his arms and yawned, covering his mouth with one hand. He looked down to see that Kira wasn’t in his lap anymore.
‘Kira?’ he said in his head. (A/N: Haha. I rhymed.)
He was then fully awake, and he got to his feet and turned around, frantically looking for Kira. “Kira!” he called out. No answer.
He looked to his feet and saw her bag with a note attached to it.
I’m hungry. Looking for food. &3 Kira
He breathed a sigh of relief. That was just too expected from her.
He rummaged through her bag out of curiosity and pulled a small red velvet book out. On the cover of the book it said “Private”, which was sowed in black letters.
Deidara blinked and then grinned wickedly. He sat back down and opened the book.
‘So this is Kira’s diary, huh?’ he thought to himself.
Kira was holding a spear she had made out of a sharp rock, string, and a long stick, trying to spear some fish for breakfast.
She saw something glisten in the water, and she drove the spear into it, hoping that she caught something. She charged her chakra to her feet and stepped on the moving stream. She balanced herself, and grabbed the spear that was sticking up in the water. She pulled it out, and stared at the tip in surprise.
“Holy s**t!” she yelled. “I can’t believe I caught two huge fish! And for my first time too!”
Kira happily walked back to the river bank and gathered the things she needed to cook onto her arms and shoulders.
“Ugh… this is heavy!” she whined.
“Entry eight,” Deidara read aloud. “It has been about five years since I was taken in by the Akatsuki clan. It seems that I’ve gotten used to everything- Sasori-sama being mean but really nice, Itachi-san looking like a girl but is really tactical, Kisame-san being half-fish, Zetsu-san being half-plant, Kakuzu-san for looking weird, Hidan-san having a scary religion, Pein-dono usually hiding himself and that other lady… um… Kanan? Tobi-san never taking his mask off, and Deidara-san looking like a girl but is like my Nii-san or best friend.”
Deidara blinked and reread the last line he just said. “So I’m her brother or best friend?”
He stopped reading and put the book back inside her bag.
‘Is that all we’ll ever be…?’ he felt a bit heart broken, but then again… he doesn’t really know for sure if she likes him or not for now.
Deidara sighed and got to his feet. “Kira…”
“Nnn…” Sasori groaned as he rubbed his eyes. “I can’t believe I fell asleep…”
He yawned and jumped out of the green treetops to the ground.
“I should get back to the other two… see how they’re holding up.” he quietly said to himself.
He dragged his feet back to where Kira and Deidara were supposed to be and let out a sigh.
“Huff… huff…”
Kira was panting and aching from the walking and carrying she did.
“Deidara-kun!” she called out, seeing a silhouette in the distance. “Would you help me please? Onegai?”
No response. The shadow stood there, as if he were waiting.
“D-Deidara-kun?” she said in a more worried tone.
Kira went on feeling hesitant, now that he hadn’t answered again.
The shadow swiftly moved behind a near-by tree and hid himself.
“Don’t mess with me!” Kira panicked since she wasn’t sure who was there.
“I-I’m serious!” she yelled, reaching to the right of her, only to find that she forgot to put her kunai and shuriken pouch on her thigh. “Kuso…” (T/N: ‘Kuso’ means ‘damn it’.)
She started to back away, and then broke into a sprint. She didn’t care how exhausted she was because her gut instinct said she was going to die.
She faced where she was going and then ran into something. ‘s**t!’ she thought.
“Why hello, Kira.” said an eerie voice from above her.
Kira looked up and saw the same shadow towering over her. “********…”
“Hmph.” He grunted.
“What do you want?” Kira asked quickly.
“I need to bring you back to Boss.” He answered.
“Boss?”
The silhouette grabbed her wrists and pinned Kira onto the ground.
“What the ********!” she screamed.
“Hmm. You’re a lot more attractive than I expected.”
Kira could now see what he looked like. Medium-length blonde hair, pale and creamy skin, two scars in the shape of an ‘x’ on his right cheek, icy blue eyes, and an evil grin pasted on his face.
“I wonder what you taste like.” he said, lifting her top up.
“Get the Hell off, you hentaisha!” Kira shrieked.
She then lifted her leg and kneed him in the groin.
“Holy s**t!” he wailed in pain and held his ache with his hands.
Kira scampered to her feet and ran back to the river. ‘Where are they?’
Sasori heard a scream in the distance and quickened his pace. “Kira!”
“s**t!” Deidara yelled, now hurrying to where he heard Kira’s cry.
‘Please don’t let there be any more people searching for me…’ Kira thought as she controlled her chakra and balanced it on her feet. She stood on the rushing river. Her stomach growled.
“********.” She mumbled. “I better not lose all of my chakra by standing here.”
Woooffsshhhh…
“Hm?” she glanced around her. “I thought I heard something…”
‘She’s not here…’ Sasori thought to himself. ‘Wait. Who’s that?’
He looked over to his left and saw a young man that seemed a few years younger than him lying on the ground in excruciating pain.
“Someone’s looking for us…’” Sasori muttered as he continued to walk toward the near-by river.
“Kira!” Deidara shouted in a panic. “Where are you?”
He finally arrived to where they slept the previous night.
“Doshite!” He whined, seeing that Kira wasn’t there any longer.
He then remembered about the note. Food. Fish. River. Connected.
Deidara ran quickly, as though wings were on his feet.
“So…” Kira called out. “Who’s there?”
A gentle breeze blew and the cool, rushing water flowed beneath her feet. The scenery was calm, but the moments that passed were tense.
‘I’m in no position to fight...’ Kira thought to herself. ‘Where are the others?’
“Hello,” A soft voice spoke to Sasori.
“Hmph.” Sasori grunted. He had no time to deal with smart asses.
“That isn’t very polite, you know.”
The voice happened to come from a girl that jumped from above, and she landed right in front of Sasori. The girl’s lavender eyes burned with a desire to kill, and her soft lips were twisted into an evil grin. Her silver hair gleamed in the sunlight, while her dark skin seemed to fade with the shadows of the trees.
“Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?” She asked.
“Isn’t it correct courtesy to introduce yourself first before asking someone else of their name?” Sasori said calmly.
The girl glared at him and replied coldly, “Urusai.”
“And I’m rude?” mocked Sasori.
“My name is Nana.” she said as she slowly stepped away. (T/N: ‘Nana’ means ‘seven’.)
“Tch.”
Nana clenched her fists and pounded them into the ground. A small shock went through the earth and towards Sasori.
Sasori managed to smile since he didn’t know what to expect. She seemed to be decent, but not on his level.
He pulled out a scroll and opened it, summoning a puppet. A stream of red chakra flew from the tips of his fingers and to the puppet. Once he gained control, he used the puppet to throw poisoned kunai at Nana.
“Is that all you got?” She teased.
“I’m… almost there!” Deidara panted.
He could see the end of the forest, a small clearing in the midst of the trees. Kira was standing on the river!
‘Who’s… with her?’ he thought.
“And who the ******** are you?” Kira growled, trying to get out of another man’s tight grasp.
Kira was being held prisoner once again, her hands being held behind her back.
“My name is Gohan and you’ll be coming with me quietly.” The man said peacefully.
Gohan had milky white skin, eyes as gold as the sun, hair that was an earthy chestnut brown, and nice lips curved into a soft smile. (T/N: ‘Gohan’ means ‘rice’.)
“Tch.” Kira spat. “Are you going to try to rape me too?”
“Where’d you get that idea?” he asked.
“Well, if you’re teamed up with an idiot who has a scar on his face, then yeah, that’s where I got it from.”
Gohan sighed and picked Kira up and placed her over his shoulder.
“Hey!” Kira yelled. “You didn’t answer my question! And let me down!”
Gohan stayed quiet as he withdrew a small kunai from the pouch on his left leg.
‘Who’s coming…?’ he thought.
“Kuso!” Deidara muttered as he was quickly making a clay bomb in the shape of a bird. “We can’t let her get stolen! No!!”
He finished making the bird and it flew ahead of him, out of the forest and into the clearing… toward the man who was holding Kira hostage!
“Come on… hit his legs…” Deidara was begging for that to happen. It was supposed to. Wait. Why was he begging in the first place? Does he… doubt himself?
BOOM!
A man’s scream was heard, and Deidara saw the man and Kira drop into the water.
“Kira!!” Deidara yelled as he burst out into the small clearing with the river.
“Deidara!!” Kira wailed. “Help me!”
She was being washed down the river, and she wasn’t the best of swimmers.
“Don’t worry!” he called out as he chased her from the banks.
“Hayaku!” she cried. (T/N: ‘Hayaku’ means ‘hurry’. I just hope I didn’t spell it wrong.)
Deidara ran faster, and he heard Kira scream again. He glanced ahead to see a waterfall and gushing rapids. He then looked to the side to see her trying to pull away from the man’s grip again.
“Chigau yo!” Deidara roared. He gathered everything he had, and concentrated chakra to his feet.
“Let go of me!” Kira managed to gasp.
“I was being nice before, but at the moment, I’m quite angry.” Gohan said calmly.
Kira growled and bite into his right arm.
“Holy s**t!” he yowled. He let her out of his grasp, and he washed away faster down river.
“s**t…” Kira muttered. That was it. Her body was weak. She didn’t have enough chakra and she couldn’t do much anyway, so she let herself sink into the rushing water.
“Oh, Kami-sama!!!” Deidara screamed as he jumped into the river. (T/N: ‘Kami-sama’ means ‘God’.)
He saw her as she submerged into the gushing river. He swam as fast as he could, trying to reach her before the current swept her over the falls.
He dove underwater searching frantically, and then finally grabbed an arm.
‘s**t… what’s my next move?’ he panicked, realizing that he planned to get Kira… but didn’t think further than that.
“Tch.” Nana glared at Sasori balefully. “I’m pretty sure that I should get going now.”
Nana and Sasori’s puppet have been clashing their kunai since the battle started. She was trying to hit him, but the puppet was always a step ahead or just there to block every single attack she’s made.
“I’d rather you die just now, not later.” Sasori answered coldly.
Nana threw a kunai by her feet, and there was a sudden explosion. Smoke and senbon flew everywhere!
“Try again, girl.” Sasori said as he countered the senbon with kunai that the puppet was holding.
Nana stepped backward, to suddenly find herself against something. ‘Didn’t see that there before…’
Her eyes widened, and she looked up. Sasori’s puppet! It grabbed her arms, and held a large kunai against her neck.
The smoke disappeared and Sasori was in view. He was walking towards her and stopped. He stood about ten feet away, and then spoke.
“Exactly, what do you want?” Sasori said coolly. “If it’s the Akatsuki in general, then forget it. You’re useless.” (A/N: FMA reference!! *laughs*)
“We need… the girl.” Nana breathed hard. For a short battle, it was tough on her.
“Who’re ‘we’?” Sasori demanded.
“That… I’m not willing to say.” she replied.
“I see.” He said as he gently pulled on a chakra string. The kunai that the puppet was holding made a clean slice on Nana’s throat, and crimson blood gushed from the cut.
Sasori mumbled to himself, “I can always find another one…”
He then collected her body and sealed it in a scroll to preserve it until he, Deidara, and Kira got back to the base.
Deidara was gasping for air as soon as he got onto the banks of the river once again. He laid Kira down on the soft ground and looked at her. He couldn’t see her breathing. He tried listening for it too, but there wasn’t a faint sound of her breath.
“Kira!” he cried as he shook her shoulders. “Wake up! Please tell me you’re not dead, yeah!”
“Ugh…” Kira groaned and coughed up water. “Stop that…”
“Kira, un!” Deidara sobbed. “Daijobou desu ka?” (T/N: ‘Daijobou desu ka?’ means ‘Are you okay?’)
“Daijobou desu…” she mumbled as she tried to sit up.
“You… almost drowned, yeah.” He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly. “Please don’t let yourself die…”
“Deidara-kun… I’m not allowed to die.” Kira buried her face into his chest and smiled. “I will not die. Not now…”
Sasori made it to the much lit up clearing where Deidara was holding Kira in his arms.
“She better be alive.” Sasori said coldly.
“Don’t worry, Sasori-dono!” Deidara responded quickly. “She just fell asleep in my arms a couple of minutes ago, yeah.”
“So she is dead.” Sasori teased.
“Stop messing with me, un!” Deidara said coolly.
Sasori grinned and managed a chuckle. “Calm down. It’s not like I’m going to kill you or anything.”
Deidara sighed and spoke calmly. “Just… hand me Kira’s bag, yeah.” He motioned for Sasori to go to where the two were resting.
Sasori grumbled and threw the bag at them.
“Watch it!” Deidara said angrily as he attempted to catch the bag but instead he fell sideways.
“Yaro, un…” Deidara muttered under his breath. (T/N: ‘Yaro’ means ‘b*****d’.)
“What was that?” Sasori said as he walked to the two.
Deidara ignored Sasori, sat back up, and snatched the bag. He pulled out the blanket that he and Kira used the past night and wrapped it around her.
“It would do you better if she were awake.” said Sasori. “Minus two points.”
“Urusai!” Deidara snapped back. “I already told you that I’m working on it, yeah!”
Sasori picked up Kira’s bag and started walking. “It’s almost noon. We should get going…”
“H-hey!” Deidara exclaimed. He got to his feet and picked Kira up in his arms.
Sasori was thinking to himself. ‘At least they’re closer together…’
“Nnn?” Kira yawned and opened her eyes.
“Kira?”
Her vision cleared and she saw Deidara’s face hovering over hers with a smile.
“How was your nap, yeah?” he asked quietly.
“Nap?” she asked in confusion. “W-what?”
Kira realized where she was. Deidara was holding her in his arms and it was already nightfall.
“After we got out of the river you passed out, yeah.” Deidara replied softly.
“O-oh…” Kira stuttered.
She shifted her eyes to see that they were out of the forest and in a grassy plain, heading toward a large village.
“Deidara…” Kira spoke quietly.
“Un?” he responded.
“You can put me down now.”
Deidara blushed a light shade of red and let her feet to the ground.
Kira got her footing and balanced herself.
“Are you cold?” he asked with a small smile.
“Yeah…” Kira said nervously. With the way things have been going, she wasn’t sure what to expect from him.
Deidara unzipped his cloak and pulled Kira in, zipping it back up again.
The two blushed insanely, both feeling the heat going to their faces.
“Do you mind?” Deidara asked.
“Huh?” Kira stared at him and blinked. “Mind what?”
“If you start walking… Sasori-dono has left us behind.”
Kira looked on ahead to see that Sasori had gotten a bit too far ahead. She then nodded, and the two walked in unison.
Sasori grumbled to himself. “Those two better catch up… after what happened earlier today, we can’t let anything else happen to Kira.”
He thought about it for a bit and decided that it was okay. ‘They could always use more alone time… after what Deidara said, I think it’s the best.’
The cool night air brushed against his pale cheeks. “I wonder how things are going at base right now…”
“Four of a kind.” Itachi said as he lay out his cards on the table. “I’m pretty sure that I won, you guys.”
Everyone who was still at base was trying to keep themselves occupied ever since Kira, Deidara, and Sasori had left.
Itachi, Pein, and Tobi were playing Poker, betting the snacks that Kira and Konan had baked the day before the other three left. Tobi and Pein had bet everything they had on this last hand. Itachi was winning, and he didn’t care about this round. He was sure that he struck gold.
Tobi threw his cards at Itachi. “You suck! I bet you’re cheating!”
Itachi smirked and spoke coolly. “Shut up and get over it.”
Itachi was about to grab the giant pile of snacks on the middle of the table when Pein said, “Hold it.”
Itachi paused and shifted his eyes to where Pein had placed his cards.
Itachi and Tobi yelled at the same time. “Royal flush?!”
Pein nodded and Tobi stomped out of the room in fury.
“It looks like the game is over…” Pein said calmly.
“Yeah…” Itachi replied. “Have you been sending Kisame on missions lately?”
“Chigau.” Pein looked at Itachi and frowned. “I have noticed his absence though.”
“Yes…” Itachi sat back down in his chair and leaned back. “What do you think he’s been doing?”
“There is always the possibility that Kisame is going to betray me…” Pein said.
“That’s true…”
Pein sighed.
“Look, I’m sure that Kisame isn’t going to betray us.” Itachi said with slight sympathy. “Don’t worry. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
A pale girl with flowing onyx hair and golden eyes sighed. A knock just came from her front door. Was somebody going to scold her again? She was sure she didn’t do anything bad the past week.
She clicked the T.V. off and navigated through piles of things on the floor. Baskets of clothes, magazines, books, a couple of dishes, and papers that she had printed out from a computer or needed to be read.
She swiftly picked up the dishes and placed them into the kitchen in the next room, and then neatly stacked papers, magazines, and books into a nice pile by the T.V. She lifted the basket of clothes and placed it into her small bedroom, shutting the door behind her as she left.
She sighed once again, and opened her front door.
“How may I help you?” she asked as politely as she could, but still… her voice was cold with disruption of her calm evening.
“We need you to come with us!” a girl with bright sapphire eyes and raven-black hair said cheerfully.
The girl’s two companions were dressed in black coats that were decorated with red clouds. They also wore hats on their head so one could only see their eyes.
“Why must I go with you?”
“First, let me introduce myself.” said the girl standing in the absolute cold. “My name is Kira Mizushi.”
“Kira, huh.” the other girl answered blankly.
Kira nodded and smiled. “Would you please… come with us? I’m afraid we can’t go back without you.”
‘Go back?’ the girl thought.
“But uh… do you mind if we come in first? It’s freezing out here!” Kira asked with glimmering hope in her eyes.
“No.” The other girl simply stepped aside, and the three went in.
Pein was sitting in the dark and quiet room that belonged to him. He was thinking about how new two new hands had sprouted out from the ground right next to the other chained Hell Hands (A/N: Please forgive me for not knowing what they are called!! Tell me if you know!).
‘What should I do about that?’ Pein wondered. ‘Does that mean there are more Demons that we need to seal?’
Pein shook his head furiously and clasped his hands together. ‘That can’t possibly be it!’
He paced back and forth through his dim-lighted room and sat back down on his bed.
“I guess I’ll have to recruit new members…”
Pein sighed again. Was that really the solution? It should be, right?
‘It seems that we have a lot more work to do than I thought.’
“I haven’t told you my name…” the girl said as she poured the hot green tea into the cups she set up at her small table.
“No need!” Kira said with another happy grin. “Your name is Ketsueki Okami, right?”
“Hai.” Ketsueki Okami nodded. “Though… I prefer you just call me Okami.”
“But that’s too formal!” Kira said. “I don’t want to call you by your last name!”
“That’s not really my last name…” Ketsueki Okami smiled nervously, waiting for the question that was usually asked.
“Sou desu ka?” Kira took a sip of her tea, and placed it back down onto the tea plate. “Then what is?” (T/N: I believe that ‘Sou desu ka?’ means ‘Is that so?’.)
Ketsueki Okami sat down on a chair on the other side of the table, and placed the teapot on a potholder.
“I don’t really have one.” She said calmly, taking her cup into her delicate hands.
“Honto ni? Kira inquired. “How is---“
Sasori gently placed his hand over her mouth and spoke. “We came here to take you back to our base. Please come or we will have to use force.”
“Sasori-sama!” Kira whined. “I almost had her!”
“Urusai.” Sasori ordered. “We need her now!”
Ketsueki Okami’s hair suddenly changed to bleached white, and her eyes flared like a crimson fire.
“Urusai!” Ketsueki Okami barked. “Both of you!”
Kira turned her head toward Ketsueki Okami and blinked. ‘What the Hell?’
“Look, I’ll go, but please shut the Hell up and let me pack some things.” Ketsueki Okami glared at the three, leaving them in silence.
Deidara finally spoke. “She’s a freak!”
“I heard that you baka.” Ketsueki Okami said harshly.
“That’s not nice! Apologize!” Kira said trying to fix everything.
“Tch…” Deidara spat. “Yaro…”
Kira stood up from her chair and grabbed her bag stomping away, slamming the front door behind her.
“s**t!” Deidara hastily got to his feet, but was pulled back into his chair.
“Just wait.” Sasori whispered. “This’ll most likely blow over quickly. Sit back and wait.”
Deidara stared at him like he was crazy, but just ended up sitting and waiting there in silence until Ketsueki Okami came out with a rather large suitcase.
“Let’s go.” she said, grabbing a soft tan coat by the door.
Deidara and Sasori got out of their chairs and turned off the lights.
Ketsueki Okami’s hair changed back to its dark luster.
“Where’s… Kira?” she asked the two as they stepped outside.
Kisame plopped down onto the couch with a sigh.
“Where have you been?” Itachi asked casually.
Kisame looked over to him and replied, “Training.”
“Sou desu ka?” Itachi smirked. He got him. “I went down to the training grounds earlier. You weren’t there.”
Kisame rushed back up to his feet and started for the door to the kitchen.
“Has Kisame been keeping secrets from me?” Itachi wondered aloud.
He stopped in his tracks and sighed once again. “I’ll tell you then.”
MEANWHILE...
Tobi was sneaking in the hallway with a medium-sized water balloon in hand.
‘I’ll throw this at Itachi… wait.’ Tobi quickly changed his mind for his life. ‘I’ll throw it at Kisame instead!’
He pressed his back against the hall wall and listened in for Kisame’s voice.
“I have an apprentice.” Kisame announced.
“Nani yo?!” Itachi asked in surprise. “What’s his name?”
“I’d rather not say…” Kisame averted his attention, and then looked back into Itachi’s crimson red glare. “Her name is Sukiko Takahashi.”
Itachi muffled a laugh. “You’re… apprenticing a girl?”
This time it was Kisame’s turn to give a death glare.
Itachi stopped laughing and turned the T.V. off. “You just saved yourself from dying, Kisame.”
“What are you talking about?” Kisame looked at Itachi in confusion.
“Leader-dono was assuming that you were planning to betray us, and I had to make sure…”
“Don’t tell the others about this, Itachi.”
“Kisame!!” Tobi burst through the doorway and threw the balloon at Kisame. “Why can’t the rest of them know?”
“Tobi!” A soaking Kisame roared. “What the Hell was that for?”
“Tobi was originally going to…” Tobi trailed off and switched the conversation. “Why can’t anyone else know?”
“Just don’t tell the others, Tobi.” Kisame said as he drifted into the halls.
Itachi turned the T.V. on and flipped channels.
Tobi grumbled and left for the kitchen.
Kisame breathed a sigh of relief. “That… was close.”
Kakuzu and another man with silver hair slicked back and equipped with a three-bladed scythe were sitting in the kitchen, having a debate about apples.
“Look, Hidan.” Kakuzu said with confidence. “Granny Smiths are better than Red Delicious.”
“Red Delicious is better!” Hidan protested. “They’re red like blood, and they taste sweet!”
Kakuzu groaned. “Green is a much better color! Even ask Zetsu! Besides, I like sour flavors.”
“Why won’t you shut up and agree with me?” Hidan reached for the fruit bowl at the center of the table and snatched a Granny Smith. “I’ll eat it and hate it.”
“You’ll like it.” Kakuzu smirked. Who in their right mind would refuse the sour goodness in which a Granny Smith apple holds? It was like candy, just a lot healthier.
Hidan grimaced as soon as he touched the apple. He hesitantly brought it up to his mouth and bit into it.
“You…” Kakuzu started off.
“I…”
“Like it?”
“… Hai.”
“Now shut up and stuff your face with more.”
“What?” Hidan stared at Kakuzu and then threw the apple at his face. “How do you like them apples?”
“What the ********!” Kakuzu got up from his seat and grabbed a Red Delicious. “Eat this then!”
Tobi just walked in, looking at the two as though they were crazy.
“Tell him that Granny Smiths are still better than Red Delicious’s!” Kakuzu yelled. (A/N: Please tell me how to spell ‘delicious’ in a plural form xD)
“Wrong! Red Delicious kills Granny Smiths!” Hidan shot back.
The two argued and made the kitchen very dramatic.
Tobi sat down at the table and threw an apple at both of them.
“I have important news, guys.” Tobi said seriously.
The two stopped shouting and glanced at him. Since when did Tobi act this serious? Hidan and Kakuzu sat down and tuned into Tobi.
“Kisame has an apprentice.”
(A/N: That totally called for a ‘coffee spurt’!!)
“I see.” Pein said as soon as Zetsu was done speaking.
Zetsu then bowed and walked out of the room.
“I believe I’ve heard of her before… Sukiko.” Pein said to himself.
He got to his feet and walked over to his large bookcase, grabbing a book with the letter ‘T’ on the cover.
He sits back down at his small desk and places the book on it, opening the book and flipping through pages.
He skims through it, trying to remember who she was… when he finally got to it.
Sukiko Takahashi.
Pein searches for anything that might be of importance, which lead him to a new mission for Itachi and Kisame.
At the end of the page, in bolded and capitalized letters:
HYOTON KEKKEI GENKAI.
