Tales of the 12-Tails
Chapter one – How did I get here?
So here I am, in the akatsuki base. Its just as I thought it would be: large, cold rooms; has many long, dark, endless stone corridors; loads of forbidden doors that are probably storage closets; no windows, just lights placed here and there; interesting interior; and the place smelt dusty and old. Wait, how did I get here?
*Flash Back*
"Hey, Aimi-chan, we're here!" Hikaru shouted while poking my nose.
"Nguh…" I groaned, still waking up from my power nap.
"Come on its bad enough you fell asleep on the bus, we will be late for the party dude! And plus, I heard Atsuo is going to be there…" Hikaru said with a cheeky glint in her blue eyes.
She carried on poking my nose with her annoyingly long, slender finger. A sudden movement had made her squeal. "Ow, ow, oweeeeee!" she yelped holding her now throbbing finger in her other hand "Why did you bite me?"
"You were poking my god damn nose!"
When I properly opened my eyes I noticed that Hikaru really was a very tall girl; with beautiful long ginger hair that curled round her waist; gentle sky blue eyes; she was always smiling and her ninja outfit really brought out her curves.
We stopped just outside a spectacular marble mansion, the sound of pounding music filled the air around the neighbour hood, and the area was so clean. I doubted it would be this clean tomorrow morning. Hikaru started to walk ahead, oblivious to the fact that I was daydreaming about owning a house this big.
"Oi! Aren't you coming in Aimi-chan?" she yelled back at me.
"Yeah just taking my time, making sure I look great, I mean I don't wanna look like too much of a slag do I? Hahah" I shouted to her.
When we walked into the mansion it was filled with people probably aged around 15 to 30. Everyone was dancing, drinking, and flirting, the music sounded as if it was on full volume, "This is going to be a great night"
In just under an hour I had completely lost Hikaru, (Aimi-chan: You can't blame me this place is sooooo big!) id gotten drunk and I mean drunk, I also kind of sat on a few peoples laps. I felt someone's hands on my waist. I was too drunk to care who it was. "Hey *hic* I'm Aimi…" I turned around to see a man, blond hair tied into a ponytail; sharp grey-blue eyes; tall and muscular; and by the looks of it a very strong ninja.
He looked at me, his eyes freezing me in place, it was like he was the predator and I was his prey. "Hey…" his voice young and strong "I'm Deidara un."
*End of Flash Back*
So I'm sat here, big hangover on Deidara's soft, bouncy, red bed with no clothes on covered by just a blanket. Perhaps next me I shouldn't get so drunk. A loud, creaking sound filled the dark room. Deidara. "Why am I here? How did I get here? What happened last night? Why can't remember anything?" I started to shout random questions at him in a panicky voice. In a blink of an eye, he appeared behind me and before I could register anything that just happened I had a kunai knife pressed against the sensitive skin of my neck. He sighed. The skin on my neck was being pierced by the sharp tip of the kunai. My chakra levels spiked. Danger! My mind shouted, but I couldn't do anything about it.
"Shhhh, no one knows you are in here un!" He hissed into my ear "say another word and I will have to knock you out un, Got it?" I gulped down a scream, I nodded slowly and shivered. "Now be a good girl and stay here, while I take a shower un." With that he left me alone, on the red bed, in the dark cold room, doubting whether it was safe to trust him.
*Deidara POV*
Crap, I really shouldn't have brought her here… I wonder what Pein-sama is going to say this time un? I hope he reacts better then last time. I have a splitting headache from the music at the party and everything I did last night, come to think of it what did happen last night un? Wondering about that question, I left my room to go take my shower.
"Sempai ! Tobi left something in sempai's room, so Tobi will get it!" a masked figure shouted, while skipping past me at an incredible speed somehow making no noise on the stone floor.
"Yeah sure- No wait! Tobi don't you fucking open that door!" I shouted whizzing back, arm stretched, just failing to grab his arm.
"Hello Pretty Girl-Chan!" Tobi shouted enthusiastically.
"Crap."
*Aimi POV*
A really tall guy came in, although it was dark I could see he had an orange mask with thin lines engraved into it creating a swirly pattern, he also had a cloak on. Wait, Deidara had a cloak just like that. It was a shadowy black, with blood red cloud motif, quite stylish if I say so myself.
"Hello Pretty Girl-Chan!" he shouted at me, his voice cheerful and sing-song, it was as if he was a young child. He turned to look out the door "Tobi found a girl in sampai's room. Tobi is a good boy ^^" He yelled happily. I hid my ears and quickly shoved my clothes on.
In less than 5 minutes four men, including Deidara, and one lady had come in. I looked down, hopefully hiding my narrowed snake-like pupils. Everyone had those really cool cloaks on, I wondered if I would get one. All eyes fell on me.
"I-" I began.
"-Deidara can you explain who this little girl-" a low growl filled my throat "-is to us?" a cute red-headed boy asked with a playful smirk across on his face, although there was no emotion in his sad brown eyes.
"Yes, please do explain." A blue-haired lady spoke with a mono-tone voice.
"Erm… Everyone this is Aimi-chan. I found her at the party un…" Deidara said nervously, voice trailing off at the end. He looked down at his feet but I could tell he was blushing. Everyone in the now-not-so-big room burst out laughing, even the lady was giggling.
The red head turned on the light. "We can all see her face properly now" he said while smiling. "Well at least she's cute." He laughed voice young and smooth but not entirely human. I was so glad that none of them could see my eyes or the scar hidden under my fringe.
"Sasori dana, that's not funny un!" Deidara shouted, his fist connected with the red head's arm.
"That's pointless brat!" The red head reminded him punching Deidara in the stomach.
The blue haired lady seemed to have had enough of the boys bickering she came up to me, gently took my arm and let me out the small room full of boys into what looked like a large living room. I was placed on the couch; while she walked over to a part of the room that looked like a dirty kitchen and left me to look around. I checked out my surroundings; high stone ceiling, red and black paint on the walls, plasma screen TV, wooden floor, and a long, leather couch. I decided I quite liked this room.
"Well Aimi-chan, you must have had an interesting night, I'm Konan by the way." She smiled, still no emotion in her voice then she handed me a cup of hot chocolate "here you look thirsty."
"Oh… uh… thanks…" I muttered, avoiding all eye contact, afraid she would see my dilated pupils, I was clutching the hot chocolate so tightly I was afraid that I was going to break the cup.
"So tell me what happened last night?" She asked while sipping a cup of coffee. I felt my eyes return to their normal state, at which point I glared at her.
"I actually don't remember anything that happened, except from waking up in his room with a pounding headache…" I mumbled.
*Konan's POV*
This girl seems to be another victim of Deidara, shame… such a seemingly sweet child would end up with an s-rank criminal and pyromaniac. I looked down at her hot chocolate, half empty, she must have really been thirsty. Her hands were trembling. Her shiny brown hair covered most of her forehead and she wore a custom black Konoha head band. She had deep red-brown eyes with a hint of light blue, tanned skin that reminded me of Kakuzu's, a dark blue outfit that fit around her curves, and two bracelets.
"It's cold in here isn't it? Let me get you a cloak, or Pein-kun , who you will refer to as Pein-sama-,will notice you. If you wear the cloak you could possibly slip past his gaze for awhile, stay here okay?" I said quietly I got up from the comfortable couch and walked over to an open wooden closet door, I started to search for a spare cloak.
*Aimi's POV*
Konan, a pretty name for a pretty lady. I think this may be one person I can trust out of the akatsuki organisation and if I am not mistaken the only female to. My thoughts were interrupted by one of the boys.
"Hey Aimi-chan! Come back to bed" Yelled the cheeky red head from inside Deidara's room. I heard sniggers from the other room. Deidara was not amused by 'Sasori' I think his name was. He ran out his own room, walked over to the couch and joined me.
"Hey, Deidara, Are you okay?" I asked looking at him with big eyes, I felt my pupils changing their shape again but in less obvious amounts.
"Oh…um…me? I'm a little pissed off and I'm a little tired from last night un Hahah you?" I punched him in the chest after he said that.
"I'm going to take a shower in a minute; Konan went to get me a cloak." I told him.
"Deidara you can join her!" a tall guy pitched in from behind me, he placed his hands on my neck. Cold. Lifeless. The two words popped into my mind, the thought of it made me shiver. "Hahah, She can't move frozen in my deadly grip." He announced.
"Wrong." I coldly stated while turning round shoving a kunai into his stomach. "No one said I could not move you just assumed I couldn't. Your cold hands just gave me a shock, Idiot." I growled at him, I shoved him onto the sofa and glared. A cheeky side smile had crept along my face, I heard wolf whistles around me and guys yelling
"Hidan, you got owned by Deidara's girlfriend."
"No one said I was his girl friend" I hissed fangs showing. The room was hushed "I just spent the night with him." I earned a few sniggers from a few of the males.
"You fucking bitch, mother fucking piece of shit, come here and take it like a man" the silver haired male shouted at me, clutching the kunai and pulling it out with no sense of pain in his aggressive purple eyes. "By the way I'll be your worst nightmare, the name's Hidan."
"No thanks Hidan, I have things to do-"
"-With Deidara I bet" Sasori pitched in. Sniggers were heard once more.
"No, it's a secret." I growled to Sasori. "Ain't anyone going to help Hidan …? He is kinda bleeding on the floor…"
*Konan POV*
"I found the cloak- What happened here?" I asked looking around the room. "I'm gone for a few minutes and everyone is flirting with the new girl, and Hidan has got him self stabbed… why am I not surprised?"
"Konan, Where are you?" a booming voice came from another room.
"Shit! Its Pein, you will pay for this Aimi." Hidan cursed pointing at his bleeding wound. Everyone seemed to scatter to different rooms like a bunch of scared wild animals. Then there was just me and Aimi left in the living room.
"Quick Aimi, take this stuff and go into that door there." I whispered while shoving a bunch of items into her hands.
"Okay" She whispered back to me scurrying into the bathroom.
"Konan, I heard another female voice, who were you talking to?" asked the tall ginger male, walking into the living room before giving me a warm embrace.
"Oh that voice? It was just Deidara." I replied trying not to laugh. I heard the faint sound of sniggering. "I think you're losing it Pein-kun, maybe I can fix that." I said taking his arm in mine and leading him back inside our room.
*Sasori POV*
"So, brat, how did you end up with a girl like that and manage to take her home no less?" I asked Deidara while punching his arm. He kicked my shin and I just missed another blow on his arm.
"Sasori dana quit punching me un… to find a girl like Aimi, you go to a ninja party, say hey to the nicest kunoichi you can find and start flirting un. Plus it helps if she is drunk." Deidara replied with his famous side smile on his face.
"How are you going to tell Pein-sama about this Aimi girl?" Itachi asked. He was sat on Deidara's bed fiddling with his long black hair, which was in its usual low ponytail, with his nose stuck in another stupid novel. The whole room fell silent. Everyone thought about the question Itachi – the emo – just asked. (Itachi: Death Glare with Sharingan)
"I actually don't know, I guess I will figure something out un." Deidara finally replied after 3 minutes of silence.
"How old is she?" asked the gentler side of Zetsu, who happened to be a Venus fly trap humanoid.
"Around 16 years old I think un…" Deidara replied giving the were-you-even-in-here-a-few-minutes-ago look to Zetsu.
"Oh nice… I like them young…" The more creepy side of Zetsu said with a glint in his eye.
"At least you won't be classed as a paedophile Deidara, can't say the same for the rest of us . . . " Kisame joined in.
"Wait what do you mean the rest of us, what about you shark boy?" I asked Kisame.
"Well I don't really care about her, just another kunoichi really." He answered no hint of emotion anywhere.
"Be right back un, need to go piss." Deidara randomly said while leaving the room rubbing the side of his head.
"Lucky boy, I should have come with him to that party when he asked if I wanted to." I told the others. Some nodded in agreement while others just gave me weird looks.
*Aimi's POV*
I was starting to wonder if I had locked the door or not when I came into this bathroom. Oh well… I probably did. Plus I'm pretty sure anyone could hear the sound of the water running and not to mention my singing.
But just in case I used a special jutsu to hide my tails, wait my tails you say? Oh yeah, I don't know what I am, except I know that I was bought to this world by a masked figure with silver hair, my eyes never stay the same and I'm definitely not a normal person. I don't remember much of what happened in my childhood or my life before last night actually. I only remember a few things as out of body experiences or visions and others just as blurs in my memory. As far as I'm concerned I had no parents and no need of for them either; I can do anything and everything on my own. Kakashi. That one very familiar and yet distant name floated around in my head. Who is it?
*Deidara POV*
I finally got out of answering any more of their stupid questions un. (Deidara: -_-) As I approached the bath room I heard someone singing loudly, I turned the handle, surprised it wasn't locked, and I came in to find that Aimi was taking a bath. A loud shriek echoed through the base when she saw me stood there.
*Aimi POV*
"Oh my fucking god! Deidara get the fuck out, can't you see that I am taking a bath?" I screamed at him. I looked around, trying to find something that would hurt if I threw it at him. A pouch full of kunai was hanging from a hook on the wall intended for shower gel. I grabbed a towel and wrapped myself fast. My eyes flashed a light blue colour.
"Wow you look good with no clothes on un!" Deidara said while trying to stop a nose bleed. (Aimi-chan: and failing XD Deidara: Shut up un! =P)
"Get out you mother fucking perv! Or I will personally beat the shit out of you!" I threw all the kunais until the pouch was empty, and then I proceeded to throw the shampoo bottles and soap. The soap had gone straight into his eye.
"I'm sorry un I needed to piss! I didn't even know you were in here I swear! Ow I have soap in my eye un!" he shouted after slamming the door shut behind him. I felt my face burning up, I checked the mirror and I had glowing blue eyes with pupils that kept changing between dilated and narrowed. Never again am I leaving the door unlocked.
"You know he is correct, you do look good naked…" came an eerie voice behind me. I turned around to find a creepy plant guy standing behind me. "your face is all red"
"GET OUT!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, while throwing anything I could get my hands on, he melted into the wall and the usual tanned colour had drained out of my face.
*Deidara POV*
My face was as red as a tomato, which isn't the best colour for it to be with everyone staring at me. I wiped the remains of blood off my nose. "Hello everyone un."
*Konan POV*
You have blown your cover haven't you Deidara?
"Who was screaming Deidara?" asked Pein.
"No one un, I mean Tobi un! I went into the bathroom while he was taking a shower and I really needed to piss un, I'm sorry Pein-sama." The idiot replied to Pein-kun.
"Okay? Any way, Konan I need you to prepare some coffee and iron my clothes, I am going to my office." Pein ordered me.
"Yes, with pleasure Pein-kun" I replied giving him a hug, then he left with just a towel and boxers on.
*Hidan POV*
"Why didn't I slice her up?" I asked Kakuzu the old zombie, my partner in crime but mainly some guy I can't kill.
"Maybe you like her Hidan, it was bound to happen one day and plus Pein-sama did come in last minute." He chuckled quietly while counting his money. I threw him a dangerously hateful glare.
"Graaah! Impossible… oh my Jashin, I can't be falling for that bitch. She is too different and she…"
"Is she rich?" Kakuzu asked before I trailed off in my thoughts about Aimi.
"Huh? I think so…"
"Hmm…" he muttered something else I couldn't quite hear.
*Itachi POV*
That new girl… is intriguing I thought while reading my new book. There is something not right about her, pupils that keep changing and the really large amounts of chakra that radiate off of her body. Everyone is infatuated with her. I won't be that easily fooled, this is no full human we are dealing with whether she knows this or not.
"Hey Itachi, What's going on?" Kisame asked coming into my room. "I always forget how dark your room feels." I stayed silent pretending not to care that he was in my 'dark' room. "Itachi can you even hear me?" He tapped my back.
"Yes of course I can, idiot." I snapped.
"Cool, so what do you think of Aimi?" he asked me. Aimi. That's her name; shame a beautiful name given to a beast.
"She's… interesting. Do you feel her in-human levels of chakra?" I replied.
"Sort of, but I don't really care as long as she doesn't get in my way."
"Good talk Fish boy"
"Anytime Weasel."
"Now get out of my room"
"…"
Aimi-chan: Hey guys! What did you think?
Deidara: I thought it was good Aimi-chan un.
Sasori: Get a room…
Deidara: Shut up Sasori dana.
Tobi: Tobi likes it! =D
Aimi-chan: Thanks guys ^^ Please review I want to improve my writing skills =3
Hidan: Aimi-chan I will get you bitch! *throws shiruken*
Aimi-chan: Until next time guys! *Flashes out*
