X Itachi's P.O.V X
I didn't know how it happened but we were in this weird place. I saw a clock it said 7 a.m. "where are we? This doesn't look like our base" Zetsu said. "Let's stay put and observe our surroundings I have a feeling we are not alone." Pein commanded. We nodded just as a shrill ding sounded through the house. We heard footsteps then a woman appeared "must be my new game" she said happily. We watched her go to the door. She stood over 5' 7" with long blonde hair that stopped at her lower back. Her clothes were weird she had on black shorts and a lime green tank top. I could see tattoos on her back as well. I couldn't see her face it was hidden by her hair. She opened the door and we could see this man in some sort of uniform. "I'm sorry miss" he said handing her a letter before he took his leave.
She shut the door and opened the letter. It was then she fell to her knees and screamed before sobbing. We heard footsteps come rapidly towards the room. We watched two other two other girls run towards her. One was a red head that had tattoos all over her. The other had black hair I couldn't see any tattoos but she did have piercings on her eyebrow nose and lip. "River what's wrong?" the red head asked. The one called River handed her the letter she had just received. "He's dead my husband is dead!" she wept. The red head read the letter before looking at River "I'm sorry "she said. River shook her head "I'll never have kids nothing! I'm going to die alone" she replied. The girl with black hair sighed "honey there's other guys out there Salem and I know some nice guys" she said. River shook her head "I'm never dating again. I might as well kill myself no one would miss me" she yelled. It was then that the girls had her pinned on the floor "dammit get off of me!" River hissed.
"Not until you stop thinking like that" Salem said. River struggled beneath the two getting more frustrated by the minute. "Salem, Kali get off of me right now or I will kill myself" she yelled out. I saw the one called Kali slap river across the face shutting River up. "Don't you ever talk like that? I know you loved Nathan, but you said it yourself that the two of you getting nowhere after he had joined the marines. So stop beating yourself up alright?" kali told her. River put her head down onto the carpet and sighed "alright I promise I won't kill myself. Now will you please get off of me?" she asked. The two got up and helped her up off the floor. I watched them disappear before kali and Salem left. "as far as we know three girls live here one of them lost their husband, and the other two have jobs while the other stays here." Konan said. "Let's keep an eye on River I want to make sure that we're not in a hostile environment before we confront them" pein ordered. River had come back and picked up a device that turned on what it looked like was a tv and sat in front of it. What she was doing we had no clue we saw people dying and we heard explosions. I saw her look at the let before crumpling it up and tossing it over her shoulder where it landed next to Hidan. He picked it up and waited till she left again before unwrinkling I the letter to read it. 'We regret to inform you that you husband Nathan L Morrison was gunned down while protecting citizens of Iraq'. "What's Iraq?" kakuzu asked. We all shrugged for we didn't know hell we didn't know where we were. we heard footsteps coming but it wasn't River's.
We watched a man walk through the room with a bag in his hand. Apparently he was a robber. It was then the river snuck up behind him holding a knife against his neck. "I suggest you drop what's in your hand and get down on the floor before I cut your head off." She growled. He did what he was told and she tied him up. A half hour went by and some guys in weird uniforms took him away and left River standing there before she walked away. "Remind me to never piss her off" pein said. We nodded in agreement before she came back and stared at the pictures. Ii heard her sigh as she took them down apparently they were of her and her husband. She looked at her hand before sliding the ring of her finger." Poor thing it's not fun to lose someone you love." Konan said quietly. We looked at her "how do you know you've never been married." Sasori replied. She looked down "true but I did have a boyfriend who died." That was weird she's never talked about her past till now. When she turned around I finally saw her face. She was beautiful and she too had piercings on her nose, lip, and eyebrow and what I could see er belly button was pierced as well. "Now what is there to do hmmm I guess I could go swimming or something" she said. She left before walking back into the room wearing a swimsuit and walking to what it looked like was the kitchen. "Alright go look around quickly before she or the other two come back and report to me when you're finished." Pein ordered. We nodded and spread out to search the each of the rooms we found nothing out of the ordinary in each of the rooms well except a few things in River's room there were swords and knives in one corner and a cage that held a lizard in it.
When we were finished we reported back to him "well?" he asked "sir there's nothing out of the ordinary except for a few things we found like swords and knives in River's room and needles and ink in Salem's " I said. He nodded before we went back into hiding when we heard river come back into the house. As she walked by I could see her tattoos clearly this time. She had a dragon that covered her whole back that was holding a lotus flower and had Japanese symbols that that said demon love and music. When she came back she was holding her lizard "how's my little lizard?" she asked it. It wasn't little. It just stuck its tongue out at her making her giggle "I love you" she told it. She put it on the floor before lying down on her back. The lizard crawled around before crawling on her stomach sticking its tongue out again at her. She played with it before leaving with it in her hands apparently to put it up. We heard the door open and saw kali and Salem walk in "I bet River was in the pool let's go put her back in" Salem said. Kali grinned and nodded before they ran off.
It was then that we heard River scream before she came running into the room followed by Salem and Kali who were also in their swimsuits. "Get away I know what you're going to do" River yelled. She was up against the door trying to stay away from them. "You're going back into the pool whether you want to or not" Kali said pulling on her arm. River's other arm was holding onto the doorknob. "No I'm not going I'm dry I no want" she said childishly. Salem walked up to her and poked her sides making River drop to the floor. They picked her up and carried her off. We heard a plash and knew the River was thrown into the water. For girls they were strong but where we were from they probably wouldn't be able to survive.
