Chapter 1: Let's Play!
Kara walked on the path through the forest. Holding hear pink bunny, she walked along and listened to the crickets create a soft playing melody. "Don't the crickets sound beautiful tonight, Usa-chan?" Kara asked her pink bunny and she began to hum as she walked. To Kara's surprise there were figures of two people in the road ahead. "I wonder what two people are doing out in the forest at night? Maybe we should go meet them, ne Usa-chan?" And so the naïve Kara continued walking to see who the people were. She looked up at the two men, one wore a mask the other wielded a huge 3 bladed scythe, "Hi, I'm Kara. What're your names?"
"Get lost kid, it's no concern of yours."
"Hmmm? Why not?"
"…Can't I use her as a sacrifice?" asked the scythe man to the mask man.
"No, we're wasting enough time as it is…you know Sasori doesn't like to be kept waiting. And the sooner we meet him and Deidara, the sooner I can go back to bounty hunting," the masked man told the scythe man and began walking down the path, the scythe man followed, and so did Kara.
"What the hell? Why are ya following us kid?" the scythe man asked.
"Because I'm going this way too! We can travel together!"
"No."
"But…"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because!"
"Will you two shut up?" the mask man asked starting to get annoyed, then turned his attention to the girl, "If you don't go away I'll kill you," he told her in a dark voice.
"Awww…but that's so mean. I know! If you play a game with me, then I'll leave you alone."
"No," said the mask man and continued on the path.
"Why? Are you chicken?" Kara called out.
"Fine, I'll play with you but you gotta fucking leave or else," said the scythe man.
"YAY!" Kara said with delight throwing Usa-chan into the air. "Okay, here's how you play!" Kara drew a circle into the ground with a nearby stick. "First, you have to put something valuable into the circle. I'll put my Usa-chan into the circle, what will you put?"
The man took off a necklace, with a triangle encircled by a circle, into the circle, "Will this do?" he asked, curious on how to play the child's game.
"Yep! And now you have to count all the way to fifty while we both spin around and around, while closing our eyes. Then when you stop counting we both open our eyes and try to be the first one to grab their belongings first."
"Okay…" the man said, thinking this would be easy since he was only going against a girl, who looked about 6 years old.
"Okay! Start….now!" Kara said cheerfully and she closed her eyes and began spinning.
The man did the same and began counting out loud. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…" and continued until he got to fifty. He opened his eyes to see the girl gone, the bunny gone, and an empty circle. "WHERE THE HELL DID THAT FUCKING BITCH TAKE MY FUCKING NECKLACE!" the man yelled. And he began searching the forest for the little girl, but she was nowhere to be found.
Kara ran through the forest and to a stream, she followed the stream to a small waterfall. Behind the waterfall, there was a small opening, big enough for Kara to fit through. The small opening led to a bigger space inside the rock, one of Kara's many hideouts. "We sure showed him, ne Usa-chan?" Kara asked, but her voice was no longer had a childish tone to it anymore, "Hmmm…I wonder what this is? Looks like some sort of symbol or something," Kara thought out loud, examining the necklace. "What do you think, Usa-chan?" Kara looked at her bunny, but the bunny said nothing. Kara put the necklace on and curled up next to her bunny. "Don't you think the necklace is pretty, Usa-chan?" Usa-chan was still silent. "Don't worry Usa-chan, we'll get to Iwagakure by morning."
The very young girl walked into Iwagakure the next morning, holding her Usa-chan, feeling very refreshed. "Look Usa-chan!" she said happily in her childish voice. She was pointing at a clay bunny necklace hanging in a window shop, next to other clay created items. "Let's go inside!" Kara skipped into the store, there was nobody inside, but the back door was open. Kara looked around the shop for a bunny necklace, like the one she saw in the window, "Aha!" she said triumphant. "Here ya go Usa-chan!" she said to her bunny putting the necklace on Usa-chan. "You look very pretty now!" Kara wondered around the store a bit, but quickly got bored. She then went to the back door to see what was back there.
She saw a blonde woman in a red and black cloak taking some clay, "Onee-san! What are you doing?" Kara asked.
The woman turned around, "I'm not a woman, u!" the 'woman' said.
"Oh, you're a cross-dresser. You're a cross dresser aren't you?"
"Shut up, un! Just get out of her kid, un," the man said angrily.
"I want to play! Play with me!"
"If I play with you, will you go away, un?"
"Yep, I promise! But if I win I get to stay as long as I want!"
"Fine, what do you want to play?" the man said confident he would win.
"I'll explain the rules to you!" Kara created a circle with chunks of clay. "Alright, first you have to put something valuable to you in the circle. I'm gonna put in my Usa-chan! What are you gonna put in?" The man put in some colorful clay, "Okay!" Kara said delighted, "So first you have to count to fifty, and as you count to fifty, we both spin around and around with our eyes closed. When you reach fifty, we both open our eyes and try to get our belongings from the circle first, okay?"
"Alright, sounds easy enough. One, two, three, four, five…..fifty," the man said opening his eyes, he was very dizzy and tried to make his way to the circle first, but before he could get there the little girl pushed him down. "Ha ha! I win!" Kara yelled delightfully. The man's vision cleared and he saw the little girl standing above him.
"That's not fair, un. You cheated."
Kara stuck out her tongue, "Did not! I didn't break any of the rules! Now I get to stay with you!"
"Hey that wasn't part of the…" the man stopped, Kara had given him a big hug.
"I promise not to be any trouble, please let me stay with you!" She begged.
The man looked down at the girl, "She could be pretty useful, I guess, un,"he thought to himself. "Alright, but you have to do everything I say, or I'll blow you up, un!"
"Hear that Usa-chan! We have a home now!"
"I didn't say that…"
"Deidara, what the hell is taking you so long?" Kara and Deidara looked to see the man with the 3 bladed scythe walk in. "Hey! You're the fucking brat that stole my fucking necklace!"
"You're the one who stole Hidan's necklace, un?" Deidara asked the little girl.
Kara pulled off the necklace, "Yep, it wasn't that hard."
"Are you crazy? Give it back now, or he'll go on a killing spree!"
"I don't have to worry about anything; Usa-chan will protect me!"
Deidara sweat dropped, "I don't think Usa-chan will be able to do anything, un."
"Give me the fucking necklace you little piece of shit!"
"I know, Deidara will protect me!"
"Hey, that wasn't part of the deal."
"What fucking deal are you talking about?" Hidan asked Deidara.
"Well, Deidara and I were playing a game and he lost, so now I get to stay with him!" Kara told Hidan before Deidara could cover her mouth.
Hidan started to laugh, "You got beat by a fucking 6 year old?"
"She cheated, un," was all Deidara said, his arms crossed.
"But still, you, a S-ranked shinobi, lost, to a fucking 6 year old!"
"Oi," said a new voice, all three of them turned their heads to the door and there stood the man with the mask, "Sasori's getting impatient. How long does it take to get clay Deidara?" His attention turned to the little girl. "What's she doing here?"
"I get to travel with Onee-san now! I won the game!"
"Onee-san?" the masked man asked, looking at Deidara for an answer.
"Don't ask, un."
The man sighed, "Well come on and hurry up, were wasting time." So all four of them left the shop and went outside of Iwagakure where Sasori's puppet was waiting.
"Look!" Kara cried out, "A turtle!" She quickly ran over to the "turtle" and climbed on its back.
"Deidara…what is this child doing here?" Sasori asked slowly.
"I'm not a child," she held up five fingers, "I'm six years old!"
"Isn't that only five fingers, un?" Deidara asked.
Kara looked down at her hand, "Oh, is it? One, two, three, four…" Kara began to count. Hidan and Deidara sweat-dropped.
"Let's go already!" Sasori said angrily, knocking Kara off of the puppet and began making his way back to base. Hidan and Kakuzu followed. Deidara sighed and began pulling Kara by the hand.
