Hey there!
Well, as I have read so many types of these stories (and have just LOVED them), I have decided to attempt to write my own. The key word in this sentence is too ATTEMPT. But if this doesn't really succed, then who am I to judge, at least I had a shot!
Anyway, I was inspired by DaniZaraki and AbbyLovesDeidara's stories the most, so THANKIES TO THEM!
This story is mainly Itachi/OC, but there is Kisame/OC and Deidara/OC also. I couldn't help myself, Itachi's my favourite Akatsuki member and my second favourite Naruto character (second only to the absolutely AH-mazing Gaara no Subaku ^_^)
So I hope you enjoy this first chapter! Please let me know if there is anything that I can improve on or any advice you've got!
Cheers, Apples! :0
The famous argument, the one between my best friend and my twin sister, they always talked about it. The subject that I was kind of tired of (well, only them arguing) was who was better, Deidara or Kisame Hoshigaki. This was what the two of them argued about daily, whenever they spoke over the phone or when they spoke to each other over Skype, they would at least have this argument three times a week.
Zeta Smith, also known as 'Zee', is our best friend. Zee is our resident hyper-goth-emo person, which is great and all, until she starts her lovely rants about her bloody annoying obsession with freaking Deidara. She is in love with him, no joke, I mean she even calls me her danna, as I am supposedly more 'mature' than her (which I am, but I'm not bragging about it).
On the other hand, there is my younger (twin) sister, Calypso Slater, nicknamed Cal, is a Kisame Hoshigaki enthusiast. She is ridiculously obsessed with him, she knows everything about him and she owns everything there is to own about him. It gets quite scary, even our parents can't get over how obsessed she is.
"Shut up, both of you are acting likes brats!" I really don't know how I had stood it for that long, but I think I had finally lost it.
"Sorry danna." Even when Zee was being serious, she still called me danna. The only time she ever used my name was when she was being really serious. "Sorry Amaterasu."
Yes, you heard right. My name is Amaterasu Slater, as you may have noticed my sisters name is Calypso, well my parents had a bit of a fascination with Gods and Goddesses. Particularly Japanese and Greek ones, as you can tell by my older brothers names (Susanoo and Hyperion). I find it really weird, because I happen to have the same name as a jutsu in my favourite anime and manga and even weirder as my favourite character, who happens to be Itachi Uchiha, uses this jutsu a lot. This has earned me the nickname of 'Blaze' by my friends and family.
I turned to scold Zee and Cal, but I heard a soft meowing sound. Looking down, I saw the cutest looking cat crawling over to me and the others. The cat was so damn adorable, he had a ginger face and the rest of his body was covered in brown fur. You could only see one of his eyes, as the other was covered with orange fur.
"Aw! Kittens!" Zee was taken from her serious mood very quickly and scooped the kitten up.
"Where did the little guy come from?" Cal asked and I shrugged.
"Maybe from over in that box there, listen, I can here scraping sounds."
Sure enough, inside the box were nine other cats. Zeta squealed and picked up the blonde cat with fur covering his left eye. She was nuzzling the tabby and the blonde close to her face.
"Please danna! Can we keep them? Please? Please? Please?" I swear that she had gone crazy over the past few minutes; because before she saw the cats she was acting kind of normal.
"Please Blaze? Can we? I'm sure Sassy wouldn't mind, but hey he's moving out and it'll just be us three!"
Stuff it, me being the animal lover that I am, had to give in.
"Fine brats," both my sister and Zee squealed "but I get to name some of them."
"Fun sucker." Zee pouted, she knew that she usually named her pets the strangest of names and that I would probably keep her weird names in check.
"You love it!" I said cheerfully to her, sticking my tongue out.
Placing the two cats with the others, I lifted the box up and we all walked towards the house that we were currently living in.
Cal and my older brother, Susanoo had lived with the three of us, until he decided that he was going to go to University a state away. He was moving out this weekend, but was leaving some of his clothes and stuff at home, just in case he wanted to come back. He wasn't home at the minute, so we (meaning Zee, Cal and I) had free reign over the house.
Opening the door, we took the cats up to my bedroom, as it was the one that we had just cleaned out and renovated (as we were renovating our bedrooms together, mine was the first one to be done and it was actually complete).
AKATSUKI POV
"I can't believe it, un! What does Orochimaru think that he can get with us being here?" Deidara hissed. He had been stuck in a box for four days and he was starving. He and the rest of the Akatsuki had been in their base when suddenly there was an explosion (to which Deidara exclaimed, "Art is a bang, un!") and all of the Akatsuki were knocked out. The next they knew they found themselves in a cardboard box that had been moved several times, mostly because of Hidan.
"Shut up brat, can't you see that Pein-sama is trying to figure something out?" Sasori cuffed Deidara over the head with a red paw.
"Sorry danna, hmm"
After this incident, Pein had decided to get Tobi to go and see where Orochimaru had dumped them, amongst the protests he said that he was only doing this so that Tobi could get more 'experience'.
"What if the little asshole doesn't come back?" Hidan asked the others. His question was interrupted by a loud, girlish squeal and a loud sigh.
"Aw! Kittens!" a female voice said, following the squeal and sigh.
"Where did the little guy come from?" Another feminine voice said.
""Maybe from over in that box there, listen, I can here scraping sounds." A different females voice said, though this one held authority.
"About fucking time, we've been here for fucking ages!" Hidan growled. Kakazu rolled his Christmas coloured eyes and smacked the Jashinist over the head.
When the kitten Akatsuki looked up, they were surprised to see three girls. One of the girls, the one who was holding the kitten who was Tobi, had short black and green hair, the green was covering her right eye. She had hazel coloured eyes that were rimmed with thick black glasses. In her nose was a black stud and her ears had several studs in them. When she spotted Deidara, she squealed again and picked him up.
"Put me down, un!" The other cats were laughing at his predicament.
"Please danna! Can we keep them? Please? Please? Please?"
The cats that were Deidara and Sasori looked at each other. They hadn't heard anyone other than themselves say that to another.
"Please Blaze? Can we? I'm sure Sassy wouldn't mind, but hey he's moving out and it'll just be us three!" The other female pleaded. She had red hair that went down to her waist, which she had tied ribbons through. She had piercing blue eyes and pale skin. Her ears had been pierced once and she had angel wing earrings.
"Fine brats," The red haired girl and the studded girl both squealed "but I get to name some of them."
"Fun sucker." The studded girl said, pouting.
"You love it!"
This was the last girl, unlike the other two girls her hair looked like it had remained undyed, as it was an ashy looking blonde, which went to her shoulders, a large black bow sitting on the side. She had storm coloured eyes, which were more grey than blue. She wore thin purple rimmed glasses and bore no signs of ever having pierced ears.
After this girl had forced the heavily studded girl to surrender Tobi and Deidara back to the box, she lifted the box with surprising ease.
"What did the girl mean by 'name some of us'? And who is this Sassy person?" Sasori asked.
"Maybe the other person got tired of the two squealing girls. I'm assuming that we are going to be their 'pets' and most people name their pets." Pein meowed towards the others.
The Akatsuki kittens looked around at each other in horror, unbeknown to the others that they were each thinking exactly the same thing.
What had they gotten themselves in for?
NORMAL POV
My bedroom, the pride and joy of my week, was covered in my paintings. Most of which I was incredibly disappointed in and was ready to throw away, but Zee, Cal and Sassy wouldn't let me. So I had put them up on my wall of 'things to re-create', most of them were paintings of my heroes and favourite anime, manga and book characters.
Putting the box down, Zee and Cal took the cats out one by one. I noticed that these cats looked nothing like any normal cat I had ever seen, but that wasn't saying much as I hadn't really seen that many cats anyway.
Two of the cats, one of each gender, were pure blue, though the female was a softer purple-blue. The male cat was humongous and had gill like markings under his eyes. I knew that Cal would want to name this one and I knew exactly what she would name him.
The silvery furred cat with purple eyes was growling at a brown cat with stitch like markings all over his body. The ginger cat with grey dotted markings all over his body, the one who I had just picked up out of the box, hissed towards the two of them and they immediately stopped.
Zee took out the tabby and blonde cats she had picked up earlier and squealed again, hugging the two cats to her chest.
"Yo brat, contain your inner fan-girl and put the two cats down." I said to her, just as Cal picked up a gorgeous, silky black cat with red eyes.
"Sorry danna, I can't help it! They're so damn cute!" She pouted and when I looked at her again, she sighed and put the two cats down onto my bed. Lifting one more cat out of the box each (Cal had picked up a reddish brown cat that had a mark where his heart would be and I had picked up a black and white cat, with golden eyes that were looking at with hunger).
"Names! Names! Names!" Zee started chanting and soon Cal joined in. I rolled my eyes and silenced them with a look.
"Right," I said, picking up the only female cat "I'm naming this little sweetheart Princess. I mean, she's the only girl in a bunch of boys, she must be treated like a princess!"
"Why'd you get to name the cutie pie?" asked Zee, she had picked up the blonde cat and had started to stroke his fur.
"Because you would have named the poor cat something along the lines of 'Serenity-Stardust-Ashley-Sunshine-Moonbeam-Butterfly-Amythest'." I told her, knowing full well that is what she would have named her.
"Party pooper! You knew exactly what I was going to call her!" Cal and I burst out laughing at the look on Zee's face, it was priceless.
Once we had calmed down (and received some weird looks from our new pets) Cal picked up the large blue cat and started to stroke it, "I shall name this one Kisame!"
I groaned, "Calypso you always name your pets Kisame! It's bloody annoying! You really need to get over your obsession or get a new one!"
"But you don't tell Zee to get over her Deidara obsession!"
"That's because her obsession is healthier than yours! And the fact that she isn't my younger sister and she's older than us by a year!"
Cal seemed to think this over, a large frown on her face which suddenly changed to a large grin, "Ryuk! I have now rechristened you Ryuk!"
I face palmed, it was either Kisame or her strange love of the Shinigami called Ryuk from Death Note. I am sad to say that I am the one who introduced her to anime and manga.
"You have made it clear that we cannot use names from our Naruto obsessions, so I think I will name this kitty Edward!" Zee exclaimed picking up the blonde cat from before and started to hug him close, obviously not bothered by the fact that Cal and I had just talked about her moments before.
Princess had hoped off of my lap and had settled herself down next to the ginger cat, the one who seemed to be in charge of them. They reminded me of the Akatsuki, but that wasn't possible, these cats were just that, cats.
Picking up the silky black cat with red eyes, I started to stroke its fur. The cat was so soft. God, now I sound like Zee.
"This one's name is Claude…" I giggled. Zee and Cal looked at me funny
"You say the name Claude and then giggle, what's gotten into you?" Cal demanded.
"It's an old name and reminds me of the stupid art lesson a few years back." They still didn't get and I shook my head, they never remember anything.
Pointing in the direction of the black and white cat Cal said, "Well, he's defiantly Zetsu!" I shot Cal a look, which she shuddered at. My looks weren't that bad. I hope. "But, I think we'll name is Oreo."
I smirked in victory.
"She's a freakin' fun sucker, she is…" Cal muttered.
"I heard that." I told her, smiling cheerfully in her direction.
"Danna's like a bloody ANBU with that hearing of hers, too." Zee added, smirking at me as I frowned in her direction.
"Don't compare me to those bloody ANBU ninjas… They're massive fun suckers, too." I growled, much to Zee and Cal's delight. They knew I hated anybody who was an ANBU, not the people who had been, but those who were currently.
I spotted the silver cat, he was eyeing the Jashin symbol on my bedroom wall with interest, when I noticed that he had a necklace on, similar to the one that each of us girls owned. It was the Jashin symbol.
"Hey brats, I know what to name this little kitten," I said, stroking the cats head and when it hissed up at me I laughed "Slash will be his name… He seems to like the Jashin symbol on the wall."
"Wow danna, I didn't know you had it in you!" Zee exclaimed, applauding sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and placed my hand back on Claude's head, stroking it.
"This little red one can be Puppet and the ginger one can be Garfield the II."
Cal almost chocked with laughter at Zee's choice of names for the two cats.
"Zee, I can explain you in four words." I held up one finger after every word, "You. Are. An. Idiot."
Zee shrugged, completely indifferent.
"I am really enjoying Lazy Song at the moment, so this cat's name is going to be Bruno." Cal said gesturing towards the brown cat with stitch markings.
"What about Lollipop for this one?" I asked, pointing to the second cat in Zee's arms. Both her and Cal nodded enthusiastically. "Lollipop it is!"
"So we have Lollipop, Oreo, Edward, Puppet, Ryuk, Princess, Slash, Claude, Bruno and Garfield the II." Cal pointed to each cat as she said their names.
"Welcome to the family! I'm Zee; this is Cal and my danna!"
"Zee, I don't want my cats to know me as 'your danna'!" I hissed at her, swatting at her head. She yelped and tried to duck, but my hand reached its target, which happened to be the back of her head.
"Fine then, you bloody buzz kill, this is my danna, who also goes by Blaze." I nodded at her approvingly, that was a much better introduction.
AKATSUKI POV
One, they were greeted by red, blue and grey walls and the three girls that had picked them up. Almost at once, the studded girl had grabbed both Tobi and Deidara again and was hugging the life out of them.
"Hey, un!" "Tobi is a good boy!"
"Yo brat, contain your inner fan-girl and put the two cats down." The blonde girl said to the studded girl.
"Yeah, listen to blondie, un!" "But senpai's blonde!" "Shut up Tobi, hmm!"
"Sorry danna, I can't help it! They're so damn cute!" The studded girl pouted, but complied and put the two Akatsuki members down.
"That's just degrading." Growled Kakazu, he didn't appreciate, him a S-class criminal, being called cute.
"Not from the girls' point of view, though. We're cats!" Konan pointed out, they had to agree with this statement.
"Names! Names! Names!" The studded girl and the red head started chanting, their voices starting out soft, gradually getting louder. The blonde girl silenced them with a sharp look.
"Right," The blonde said and she picked up Konan and placed her on her lap. "I'm naming this little sweetheart Princess. I mean, she's the only girl in a bunch of boys, she must be treated like a princess!"
"Isn't that the fucking truth!" Hidan meowed, only to get his head pushed into the floor by an irate Kakazu.
"OI! Stop doing that you fucking idiot!" Hidan hissed towards the stitched cat.
"I'm not the fucking idiot, idiot! You are!" Kakazu hissed back.
"Both of you stop this at once!" Pein said, finally intervening in their fight.
"Why'd you get to name the cutie pie?" the studded girl asked, pouting at the blonde.
"Because you would have named the poor cat something along the lines of 'Serenity-Stardust-Ashley-Sunshine-Moonbeam-Butterfly-Amythest'." She replied with such a-matter-of fact voice that the Akatsuki knew that she probably would have renamed Konan that.
"No thanks," Konan meowed, wincing slightly, "I think 'Princess' will suite me just fine."
"Party pooper! You knew exactly what I was going to call her!" The red haired girl and the blonde burst into laughter, the cats took this as a sign that this happened often.
"Wonder who's going to be tortured next?" Sasori said, and then noticed that the red haired girl was eyeing Kisame. "Looks like its Kisame's lucky turn!"
"I shall name this one Kisame!" All of the cats froze, especially the aforementioned. How did this girl know his name?
"How the fuck?" Hidan voiced what was on everyone's mind.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" Kisame questioned more than answered.
The blonde girl groaned, as if expecting this. "Calypso you always name your pets Kisame! It's bloody annoying! You really need to get over your obsession or get a new one!"
"Obsession?" Kisame chocked out, staring in shock at the red haired girl that was now stroking his blue fur.
"But you don't tell Zee to get over her Deidara obsession!"
This time it was Deidara's turn to be in shock; "An obsession about me?"
"That's because her obsession is healthier than yours! And the fact that she isn't my younger sister and she's older than us by a year!"
"How can an obsession be healthy?" Itachi asked, for the first time voicing his opinion. The other cats shrugged, except for Kisame and Deidara who were both still in shock.
"Ryuk! I have now rechristened you Ryuk!" the girl now known as Calypso announced and she hugged Kisame tighter to her body. Suddenly the studded girl picked a shocked Deidara up and hugged him to her chest.
"You have made it clear that we cannot use names from our Naruto obsessions, so I think I will name this kitty Edward!"
"Naruto? Isn't that the nine-tails holder?" Tobi asked Itachi, who nodded. Konan, who had had enough of sitting on the blonde's lap got off and went to sit next to Pein.
Itachi, who was an amazing ninja, did not have the same reflexes as a cat that he did as a human and was not expecting to be picked up and placed on the blondes lap. The girl started to stroke his fur and he found that he was starting to enjoy the feel of her fingers running through his fur.
"This one's name is Claude…" The blonde girl then suddenly giggled.
"Claude…wow, these girls have such strange names." Kisame said, finally coming out of his shocked state.
"You say the name Claude and then giggle, what's gotten into you?" demanded Calypso.
"It's an old name and reminds me of the stupid art lesson a few years back." The blonde explained.
"Well, he's defiantly Zetsu!" The studded girl said, but then she eyed the blonde, who was glaring at her.
"We may finally have a normal name. But how do they know our name, not that I'm complaining. You shouldn't complain, I'm the only one who can complain. Why is that? Because I have to put up with a weirdo such as you, that's not a reasonable explanation. Zetsu argued.
"But, I think we'll name is Oreo." The blonde smirked in the studded girl's direction.
"Damn, we almost had a normal name. Well you can't have everything in life idiot."
"She's a freakin' fun sucker, she is…" Calypso muttered, obviously hoping that the blonde wouldn't hear her.
"Fun sucker? Jashin, they have some weird wordings!" Hidan laughed.
"I heard that."
"Danna's like a bloody ANBU with that hearing of hers, too."
"I wonder how they know of ANBU, because from what I've heard we aren't in Konoha. Otherwise we would have been taken to the prison cells." Itachi said from the blondes lap.
"Don't compare me to those bloody ANBU ninjas… They're massive fun suckers, too." The blonde growled.
"This is fucking great! They have Jashin-sama's symbol on the wall! They must be followers or at least know of Jashin-sama!" Hidan meowed excitedly.
"Hey brats, I know what to name this little kitten," Hidan's head shot up and he hissed, as the blonde girl had put her hand on his head. The blonde just laughed. "Slash will be his name… He seems to like the Jashin symbol on the wall."
"Huh! Slash is such a great name for you Hidan, un!" Deidara laughed, teasing Hidan from his place in Zee's arms.
"Wow danna, I didn't know you had it in you!" The studded girl started to applaud the blonde, who had retracted her hand from Hidan's head and started to stroke Itachi's fur once again.
"This little red one can be Puppet and the ginger one can be Garfield the II." The studded girl exclaimed, pointing at both Sasori and Pein in turn. Deidara burst out into meows of laughter at the look of indignation on Sasori's face, as the puppet master was NOT pleased.
Calypso almost chocked and the blonde just shook her head
"Zee, I can explain you in four words. You. Are. An. Idiot." After each of those words she held up a finger.
"I must agree with her there." Sasori deadpanned.
"I am really enjoying Lazy Song at the moment, so this cat's name is going to be Bruno." Calypso said, pointing at Kakazu, who was trying to hide himself behind Pein.
"What about Lollipop for this one?" The blonde asked the others, who just nodded encouragingly.
"Tobi likes Lollipop, too!"
"Lollipop it is!"
"So we have Lollipop, Oreo, Edward, Puppet, Ryuk, Princess, Slash, Claude, Bruno and Garfield the II." Each of the cats except for Tobi and Konan (who actually liked her name), shuddered after their new names.
"Welcome to the family! I'm Zee; this is Cal and my danna!" the studded girl introduced herself and the blonde girl growled.
"Zee, I don't want my cats to know me as 'your danna'!" the blonde snarled at Zee and she swatted at her head, Zee ducked, but she got hit anyway.
"Fine then, you bloody buzz kill, this is my danna, who also goes by Blaze."
"I wonder what her real name is, if her nickname is Blaze." Pein mused, wondering what Blaze's real name is.
Itachi, who was still in Blaze's lap looked up to her and gave her a look that seemed to say 'we-know-that-isn't-your-real-name-so-what-is' and she smiled down at him.
"Yeah, I know. It's a nickname that has stuck with me forever! My real name, on the other hand rarely gets used, unless you're an Itachi Uchiha fan…"
Itachi's body froze, his eyes still searching Blaze's face, trying to convey the message of 'why-would-your-name-have-anything-to-do-with-me'
"Her name has to do with a fire jutsu that Itachi uses, that's why we call her Blaze. Though it'd be a suitable nickname for Sassy, know that I think of it." Cal explained.
"Our parents had a bit of a thing for naming their kids after Greek and Japanese gods and goddesses." Said Blaze, looking at down at Itachi.
The other Akatsuki cats looked at the two girls in confusion obviously not understanding what the girls were talking about.
"Our oldest brother, Hyperion, was named after the Greek Titan of the east and the Lord of Light. Our other brother, Susanoo, was named after the Japanese Shinto god of the sea and storms." Cal continued explaining.
"Cal was named after a Greek Nymph. And me, well I was named after the Japanese Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu, hence the reason why I've been given the nickname of Blaze."
"Well that explains the whole entire Blaze theory, un"
"Hn."
