Note : This is a series I started when I was in maybe seventh grade. I'm now a sophomore in high school. I hope to continue this series, but I'd like to know how well it's received. I use honorifics and the characters have a bit of a mouth on them. I do not own Akatsuki or the Naruto franchise. I hope you enjoy!
A girl with brown hair that was blue at her bangs rounded the corner of one of the many hallways at the Akatsuki base. She had her hands in the pockets of the black cloak with red clouds on it. Her eyes were shut and her head bobbed up and down softly as she hummed a song in her head. She walked a few more steps before a door opened and slammed right into her face. She fell back onto her butt as she bounced back from the impact. She rubbed her forehead that was getting red.
"Ow! Watch what you're fucking doing! I can't believe you'd open a damn door right in my fucking face!" She yelled. She opened her eyes and glared up at the person exiting from the room. She shut her mouth promptly.
"L-Leader-sama..." She said weakly. He tilted his head up ever so slightly, the light from the bulbs above them glinting off his piercing. He looked down at her like he was better than her...Like she was nothing..Like she was just a bug...Needing to be squished. She quickly got up on her knees then placed her palms on the ground. She pressed her forehead to the ground by her palms.
"P-Please excuse me L-Leader-sama! I mean no d-disrespect!" She pleaded. There was a moment of silence before he spoke in his authoritative tone.
"That will be enough groveling for now, Kaori..." He said. She nodded her head. She removed her head from the floor and put her hands in her lap, folded up. He stared down at her for another moment until he walked around her like she was just another roadblock in his life. Kaori waited till she heard the click of his door shutting before she let out a breath.
"Damn," She whispered, "I gotta watch my fucking mouth..." She stood up and continued down the hallway. The song that was just in her head, gone just as quickly as it had been there. She replaced her hands in her pockets, but let her eyes stay open. She passed by an orange door. Giggling was sounding from behind it. Kaori stopped for a moment. She scowled disdainfully.
"Yuki and Tobi...what idiots..." She whispered. Yuki was so small and timid...Her entire appearance screamed 'I'm helpless!'. Kaori's scowl deepened. She continued down the hall. Then there was Tobi. The stupid man who acted like a four year-old child. His stupid orange mask really made Kaori hate him even more.
"Damn little flower-picker.." She hissed. Happiness...She couldn't stand it. It was her top pet peeve.
Kaori continued down the hallway. Her room was all the way in the East Wing, with her partner, Sai. She sighed.
"Sai...Interesting fella.." She said to herself. Sai showed no emotion, for he was once a member of the Root Anbu squad. Practically everything he said was either backwards from his true meaning, or in code. Sometimes it really ticked her off. But other times she was proud to call him her partner. Sai was also an artist. He drew, which linked with his jutsu. In battle, he was very useful. He always had a clear head and a battle plan. She didn't have to worry about protecting him, but she did anyway. Kaori sighed again. She would probably risk her life for her partner...However, she couldn't say the same thing about him. As she rounded another corner she bumped into someone.
"Dear Jashin! What is fucking wrong with you damn people today?" She yelled. She looked up at who she had bumped into and shut her mouth quickly. She took a few steps back and bowed her head low.
"What the fuck was that?" Hissed a man with white, combed back hair. She bowed even lower.
"Excuse me..Hidan-sensei." She whispered. He scoffed.
"That's what I damn well thought! Now straighten up, that's just fucking pitiful.." Kaori stood back up.
"Hidan-sensei?" She asked quietly.
"What?" He replied. She didn't flinch at his tone.
"Where should we meet for training today?" Hidan blinked.
"Oh...uhhhh...Well..I was gonna have Deidara join us with Sai...to do some team exercises..Then I was going to have Leader-sama come by to check on your progress..." He mumbled. Kaori's eyes lit up.
"So I should go ask Deidara-senpai?" She asked somewhat enthusiastically, completely ignoring the rest of the sentence after Deidara's name. Hidan blinked.
"Whoa there tiger..No need to get so worked up about it!" He teased. Kaori felt her face heating up.
"I-I fucking wasn't!" She defended herself by using curse words she had learned from Hidan. Hidan smirked and patted her on the top of her head.
"I know kid...I know.." He said solemnly. Kaori looked up. His face had turned sympathetic. She raised an eyebrow at him.
"Getting soft in your old age, Hidan-sensei?" She said quietly. His face lost all sympathy quickly.
"Get lost! You fucking kid!" He yelled. Kaori laughed as she ran down the hallway towards Deidara's room. Hidan watched after her. He smirked softly.
"Yeah...You're just a kid after all..." He turned and continued to walk down the hallway. "I wish I could make it last for you, Kaori..."
