My Zetsu story :) I have been working on this one for a really long time, and so far I have at least one hundred and twenty something pages. The only problem will be getting the story typed out and uploaded, that may take some time. I hope you all enjoy this story, please review if you will, I would really apreciate it!
"Don't trip, and try not to fall. People like these prey on weakness." Pein says as we walk through the tightly-packed dirt corridore. I try to calm myself and keep my face a blank slate as he says these things to me to try and make me "feel better" about meeting the Akatsuki. At this point I feel like turning around and trying to make a run for it, but of course thats not going to happen.
Soon we come to a large tall door that streches from the floor to the ceiling and I shuffle my feet nerviously, clinging to my brother Kisame's sleeve tightly. He looks down, grinning reasuringly at my nervious face. Then we walk in...
"Hey Kisame, whos the girlfriend?" A snikering voice said, several pairs of eyes turning in our dirrection, causing my heart to speed up instantly. "Shut up Hidan." Kisame growls with a glare towards the white-haired man. Hidan snickered, blinking his purple eyes in a girly fashion as he said in a baby voice, "Awww, poor Kisame doesn't wike people making fuuun of him..."
Kisame's fists tightened but he didn't say anything as Pein's eyes flashed darkly to him and then over to Hidan. "Hidan..." was all he said, his voice quiet but stiff. Hidan instantly went quiet, his eyes on Pein in an almost respectful way. "This is Himiko, now let me explain carefully; You will mot harm her in any way. If you do we will have very serious problems here." With that he looks at everyone else, his eyes flickering to each of them at least once, "...that goes for everyone. I will not be dealing with any trouble from any of you. Am I understood?" Several nods and a few 'Hai Pein-samas' later I was shoved on a bench between two of the S-ranked killers, (none of which were my brother) and told to stay there for now until my "sibling came back".
"Tobi, Zetsu...keep an eye on her." Pein ordered before walking swiftly out the door to "attend to a few things". I was afraid to look at the "Tobi" and the "Zetsu" who were sitting at my sides, but after all I ended up not having to. I was kinda forced to...
Tobi instantly glomped me after Pein left, babbling randomly and loudly in my ear about how he made dinner and other random things that I didn't catch. at all. Then after the first couple of minutes following Pein leaving Zetsu started to mutter to himself and answer in a different voice which somehow hypnotically drew my attention to his hulking green form and yellow eyes. I was sitting to his right, and had to strain to look over Tobi's arm, but eventually I had turned somewhat so that I could look up at him.
The black part of his face looked down at me, shocking me into silence at the glare that was planted there, and the total bazzarness of the fact that his face was split into two different colors. I was confused until he started to talk, "What are you looking at?" he asked irritably. "Hi! I'm Zetsu." the white side added, as though it were an entirly different person speaking. "Shut up fool, can't you see that I'm talking?" "Well I want to talk to her too, so leave me alone." "Ugh! You are such a moron! I'm going to strangle you!" "You can't strangle me, that would be suicide moron." "SHUT UP!"
The face looked back at me after the two sides had stopped fighting, as I had been staring up at him the hole time. "..." was all I could manage, then; "Your eyes look cool, how did you get them to be that color?" I asked, perhaps the most stupid thing I could have said at that moment. The plant man blinked, looking slightly shocked at the comment, and he didn't answer me, but I could tell that he was thinking it over, perhapsmaybe even for the rest of the day. But by then I already knew that I would like it here, the people were really very interesting and I didn't think that they were scary at all.
Zetsu P.O.V
"She's weird."
"I like her."
"..."
"...And you do too."
"So what?" It's not like it's going to go anywhere...
"You never know that Hehee..."
"Moron! Stop listening in on my thoughts."
"Aww don't be mean now. Besides, we have the same brain, kinda hard not too."
Black Zetsu sighed here, "...don't think that comment makes you any less of a moron."
"We'll get in trouble if anyone finds out..." White Zetsu says, changing the topic.
"Lets just not tell anyone then."
"..."
"Ok?"
"Fine..."
Zetsu walked out of his room that morning in a very bad mood with himself. It had been weeks since Kisame's sister Himiko had arrived, and so far everything had been out of wack with him. He hadn't been able to eat right and he had gained an odd obsession of following the girl around. It was annoying him to no end, and all because he had never liked anyone before. He hadn't really talked to her since that first day she had come...and he had started to hate himself for it.
I sat calmly in the main room on the couch, waiting patiently for kisame to wake up and come out to feed me...I really didn't like invading the privacy of the cubbords if I didn't have to. But why the heck was I the first one awake today? That was seriously not normal. I looked down at my ninja-shoe clad feet and sighed. I was getting so bored...
Suddenly Zetsu bursted into the room, a glare on his face. I jumped in surprise, looking up at him as he paused, his gaze going to me. "Goodmorning." I said, regaining my composure as he stood still in the doorway, staring at me. "Hello." he said, walking calmly into the room and veering off towards the kitchen. "How are you?" the white side asked as he passed me, his eyes flickering from the floor to me in a split second. "Hungry, you?" I answered with a slight yawn, he paused as he was stepping into the kitchen and reaching for a cubbord, his eyes on me. He turned back to the cubbord and started to look through it, and I thought for a second that he had just decided to ignore me, and that that was why he had not answered. But then he threw a small box at me as he mummbled, "Here you go..." Before turning back to the cubbord to look for what I persumed to be his own breakfast.
"Thanks..." I mummbled, as I looked down in confusion at the square box in my hand, it apparently had something called "Sumuchi" in it...little square shapped things with a chocolate-cream center. I instantly brightened, my mood changing drastically withing seconds as a grin formed on my face. Yummy! Kisame would never had let me eat something like this for breakfast! I started to pull it open eagerly, trying in vain to pull of the plastic that surrounded the little container. "...Himiko?" I glanced up from my frantic pulling open of the box. "Ya?" I said questioningly, the plastic that had previously been on the box crinkling between my hands. "..." I looked up at him, raising an eyebrow ever so slightly as he walked over slowly and sat on the couch next to me, his hands void of any food items. I was a little confused , he looked like he was deep in thought, trying to find something to say, or the words to say it in the right way.
"Do you think I'm a scary person?" I looked up at him when he said this, trying to find out what I really thought about his question, what I thought about him and about how he looked. Then I answered as honestly as I could..."No...I don't think so anyways. So I'd say that your not." he looked at me, his eyes slightly widening, "I'm...not?" he asked, "No." I said, looking down at the plastic in my hands as I suddenly felt weirdly embrassed. "Am I?" his white voice asked, suddenly piping up after having been quiet for so long. I looked up at him, grinning and having to force back a laugh as he made a 'no-duh' face at himself. Zetsu looked at me then, and noticing the smile on my face he mummbled, "What?" defensivly. "No Zetsu, your not scary." I said, answering his other self. "Yay!" he said, earning another grin from me. Zetsu rolled his eyes at himself, "I swear he does that for attention," he said, sounding a little annoyed, "Nobody can really be that stupid." "..." the white side of his face looked offended, if that was even possible. I looked up at him for a moment, seriously trying to understand why he was even talking to me like this, or even just why he was talking to me period...I had previously thought that he thought that I was annoying or something.
"Am I scary?" I asked after a moment of silence, wondering simply how he would respond to that question. He scoffed at it, shaking his head, "Why would you be scary?" he asked me. I shrugged, "Not many people talk to me...so I just figured..." I answered, trailing off as I opened the box in my hands slowly, trying to keep my emotions to myself and gather my thoughts away from that touchy subject. "Hmmm...you can talk to us, if you want...and we'll talk to you." the white side said. "Ok." I mummbled, nodding as I blinked away the tears that had gathered in the corners of my eyes and folded back the edges of the box. I pulled out one of the small cookie looking things and offered it to Zetsu, who looked at it for a moment as if he wasn't sure if he wanted it or not, but in the end took it carefully from my hand and examined it as I popped one into my own mouth. "I don't usually...eat these..." he said softly, trailing off as he lifted it up and popped it into his mouth. "Hmmm, why not?" I asked, looking over at him as he chewed the cookie slowly. "..." "...Nevermind...it doesn't really matter." he said, shooting me a side look that I didn't really catch as I reached into the box for another cookie.
A Few Minuter Later...
"Holey crap this is so good!" I suddenly squealed, feeling my sugar rush kicking in as I shoved another cookie into my mouth happily, not even noticing that I had inturupted the silence that had settled between us for some time now, and scared Zetsu half out of his witts. It was kind of awkward being in the same room with Zetsu alone, so I had resorted to the way I acted around my friends that I had had way back when...not good. "I can see why you like to hang out with Tobi so often..." he said, sounding humored by the random coments that I had been making about the food ever since my initial squeal of 'this is so good!'. I grinned up at him as I offered him another Sumuchi that he carefully took once again, shrugging mostly to myself, "Eh...Tobi's cool." I said, watching him as he popped the food into his mouth and ate it slowly like he had done before. "What do you think? Is it good?" I asked, randomly wanting to know what he thought.
He shrugged, his gaze turning to the ground as he contemplated the question silently, "It's ok..." he said after a while, his voice and the look of his eyes seeming a little depressed to me. I nodded, going back to just eating my Sumuchi since he had suddenly gotten so quiet. Maybe he didn't really want to talk to me after all...
