"I can't believe you got me to do this." I sighed. "Although part of it was out of curiosity."
"Don't worry, it's going to be fun!" My friend Sam told me.
"So she said." I muttered. She pouted.
"You're no fun." She whined.
"Yep, I'm a stick in the mud." I said, throwing my hands up for emphasis.
"You sure chose the wrong costume." She said. "Why did you choose it anyway?"
"Well I wanted to do someone else, but they didn't have a mask that covered their entire face." I told her.
Now you must be confused. Let me explain. Sam has convinced me to come to an anime convention. She is dressed as her favorite anime movie character, Black Rock Shooter.
Now me. Well, I am dressed as Tobi from Naruto. If you don't know who he is or the anime Naruto, why are you reading this? Anyway, I am dressed as him because of the mask, as I've already told you. I know that there is a hand full of characters whose faces are covered, but he was the only one I could think of at the time.
So here we are at the convention, caught up in our, semi-serious, discussion. We were talking about random things and just walking around when Sam pointed to a group of guys cosplaying as the Akatsuki. There was a girl there as well, obviously cosplaying Konan.
"They're dressed like you!" Sam said exitedly.
"No shit Sherlock." I said, giving her a Gib-slap. If you don't know what it is, watch NCIS. Of course Sam got an idea after that. If you don't know her, which usually means it's time to run. Sadly, she stopped me before I could get away.
"I dare you to go over to the guy cosplaying Deidara and glomp him. Call him sempai too!" She said excitedly.
"What makes you think I will do it?" I asked her. She held up 20 dollars. "Is that for slendy?" I asked. Again, watch YouTube. It's 'sender man wants 20 dollars.' You people need to know this before you read, otherwise I will have to write it for you and that only takes up your time. Back on track.
"No, but now you got the song stuck in my head! I will give it to you if you do it. You can use it to buy books and Pringles." Damn, she knows my weakness.
"Fine." I sighed, reaching for the money. She pulled it away.
"Do the dare first." She said, pointing to my target. I sighed.
"Let me get hyper first." I said, biting into my half eaten snickers bar. (Love those things) I felt a boost of energy and used that to get into character. I then ran over to the unlucky guy (or girl) and glomped him (her), screaming "DEIDARA-SEMPAI!" He (she) looked shocked for a second, and then got an annoyed look on his (her) face.
"Tobi!" He yelled before throwing me at a wall. I landed on the wall, literally. One leg was stretched out with the other pulled back. The arm above the outstretched leg was in front of the folded one, the other arm was as far back as possible.
I looked at him at him in surprise. He was still pissed, but looked a little confused.
"How did you do that?" I asked him, my voice normal. Now he looked shocked (I'm not the only one anymore) The others with him did as well. Before he could say anything, Sam yelled my nick name, running over to me. I jumped onto the floor.
"I am so sorry! I shouldn't have asked you to do that!" She said, continuously apologizing. I sighed.
"I did it. You owe me." I said, holding my hand out. She gave the 20 dollars as promised. I noticed that the Kakuzu cosplayer, also known as slendy, was eyeing the money. I put it in my shirt quickly.
"Sorry for doing that. It was a bet she might make me do again and I just wanted her to stop nagging me for the time being. If you knew her, then you'd understand." I explained, bowing slightly in apology
"Hey!" Sam protested. I held up my hand to stop her.
"No excuses." She pouted.
"I'm the one to be sorry, un. I should have known you weren't Tobi, yeah." He said, glaring at said person cosplaying him that was not him. A warning flag went up.
"It's alright. No harm no foul." I told him. He nodded.
"Why are you here, un?" He asked.
"Fun!" Sam yelled.
"Her and curiosity." I said, shoving my thumb towards Sam. She either didn't notice or didn't care.
"You guy's are really into character." Sam said, stopping me from asking him a question. He paused before answering, another warning flag going up.
"We want to be the best one's here, un!" He cheered, adding an obviously fake laugh. The others seemed to glare at him. The guy cosplaying Sasori Gib-slapped him. (look it up) He turned to us.
"Excuse the idiot. We are looking for someone at the moment and need to get looking if we are to find them." He said.
"We could help you." I offered, naturally wanting to help. "If you tell us who it is we could tell you if we have seen them or not." Sam hit my arm. I gave her a questioning look, that she couldn't see of course. The Sasori pretender smiled.
"That would be great. What are you names by the way?" Before I could respond Sam stomped on my foot. I glared at her. Before I could question her she answered the previous question.
"I am Piko and this is Dei." I gave her yet another questioning look.
"Why are you-OW!" I yelled. She stomped on my foot again.
"What the fuck Sam!" She smashed my foot once again. I felt something warm cover my toes. I turned to glare at Sam.
"That was my bad foot!" I yelled at her. "And I believe you messed it up again!" I took off my boot. Yes I was dressed exactly like Tobi. The person other than me dressed as him was oddly missing.
As it turns out my foot was soaked with blood and it looked like it was beat with a meat tenderizer.
Sam took out her first aid kit out of her bag. (She says it's for when gravity decides to be a bitch) She handed me the stuff knowing I wasn't going to let her anywhere near my foot. The Deidara cosplayer knelt down and looked at my foot, took the kit and started to clean it.
"You don't have to do that." I said, a little confused. He shook his head.
"It's the least I could do, un." He said, eyes never leaving my foot. After cleaning and putting stuff on it, he started wrapping it. I tried to move my foot on my own but found that the bone was ether cracked or fractured.
"Sam you crushed my foot!" I yelled. I know I was being harsh, but right now my foot hurt like a mother.
"How can you tell it's crushed, un?" Deidara cosplayer asked. His hair really did describe him.
"It's probably because you can see it Blondie. That and I can feel all the cracks and breaks in my bones." I yelled at him. "Mother fucker!" I cursed. "It fuckin hurts!" The guy dressed as Hidan looked impressed.
"We need to get you to the hospital, Ash!" Sam yelled, smacking herself after.
"No! Not until we help them!" I yelled at her, wincing in pain. No more numbness. "I know I am being mean but this really hurts and is making me mad." I told them. I turned to the group. "Who are you looking for?" I asked. The Pain cosplayer smirked along with the others.
"We found them." He said. My eyes widened, realizing what he meant. I grabbed Sam and ran as fast as I could with a crushed foot and a stumbling person behind me. The other guys were fast. They threw darts at us, but it just bounced off my clothes. I pushed Sam in front of me so she wouldn't get hit.
After a bit we ran into a corner. I turned and pushed Sam into the corner then stood in front of her. The cosplayers chasing us stopped, surrounding us. I took out some concealed weapons.
"Now I'm glad I have trust issues." I muttered to myself.
"Looks like you're cornered girly." The Kisame cosplayer said, showing off the fake, but surprisingly real looking, shark teeth. (I wonder where he got them from) They all had good costumes. Actually, now that I think about it, I felt something lick my foot when the Dei-cosplayer was wrapping it. Another thought, why hasn't anyone helped us?
I smirked at the fish man wanna be. "I would think twice about that. I have nothing but two walls behind me, leaving the only open space in front of me and in my line of vision. I also don't have to worry about my friend getting hurt." I told him. He smirked.
"Smart." He threw something on the ground at my feet. "But not smart enough." Gas came out of the thing, making Sam cough before passing out. I looked at them.
"That does not work on me. I modified the mask so that it can keep gasses out and the outfit is made of the toughest material." They looked impressed.
"Good thing we have plan B then." He said.
"What is it?" I asked. Then I felt it. I looked down at my foot. Then I turned my eyes to the fake Deidara, shock and anger clear in my only visible eye.
"Least you could do huh?" I asked him before my world went dark. Last thing I saw was his guilty face.
