It's nice to see that so many people were anticipating this story coming out! My inbox was flooded with stuff from this, and it made me really happy!
Is it legal for a man living in North Carolina to be buried in South Carolina?
I've gotten a few good answers, you know who you are!
So, Cin's fainted at the sight of the Akatsuki returning, but how will things continue when she awakens with such a huge mess to clean up?
The only sure way to find out is to read on, dear friends, read on!
RERV! (Read, Enjoy, Review, and Vote!)
… … … …
Why was everything so fuzzy? Cin wondered as she wandered to consciousness, And so loud?
"Why did have to expletiveing faint? That expletiveing girl hasn't changed at bit since we last expletiveing saw her!"
Three guesses on who, and the first two don't count!
But anyways, Cin responded before she even opened her eyes without thinking first.
"Expletive."
"OW!"
Her eyes opened to see Hidan's head flinching next to her, swearing profusely.
Grabbing him by the hair and lifting him into the air, she glared at him, "I thought you said you'd stop swearing."
"In case you haven't noticed, this is a perfect situation to expletiveing curse!" he yelled back.
Oooh! Her swear was a moonstone this time!
"And how is that important?" everyone's favorite weasel asked…
He can still hear me, can't he?
"Yes, 'he' can."
I thought you were going to get rid of that over the summer!
"Hn."
!
"Itachi, perhaps you ought to see someone about these delusions of yours."
"I am quite fine, Kisame."
Cin sighed as she rubbed her eyes.
It was as though they hadn't even left.
…
"Okay, so what's the problem?" Cin asked, finally having gotten everyone to settle down.
"Well, as you can expletiveing see…"
"Expletive." Cin spoke without blinking, "Okay, someone besides Hidan want to tell me?"
"We got into fights and I lost one arm, my other arm is crushed, un," yeah, she could see the state of his remaining limb now, "Sasori was killed, and Hidan was blown to itty-bitty pieces."
"Okay," she could work with that, though she was kind of sad Sasori died, "Question two: What am I supposed to do about it?"
"Isn't it obvious?" the rag doll spoke dryly.
"I like stuff stated out," was the clipped response, "It saves trouble later."
Deidara sighed before continuing, "Fix my arms, put Hidan back together, and hopefully restore Sasori to life."
"That's a big order," was the response as she pulled out a scroll and started looking through it, "But I think I can handle it. Dei's first, I'll work on Sasori tomorrow and Hidan the day after."
"Don't call me Dei, un," the blond muttered.
"Why them expletiveing first!"
"Expletive," she smirked as a huge rock of granite fell on his head, "You told me you'd watch your language, Hidan. This doesn't look like watching your language to me," she sighed, "But anyways, Dei's first since he'll be the easiest to heal. Then Sasori because I'll need a full tank of chakra to even attempt to fix either of you, and the longer he's dead, the harder it will be to bring him back. As it is, you're last because no matter when I attempt to put you back together, you will be extremely difficult to fix. Question answered?"
The albino grumbled under his breath.
"Good," now she was smiling again, "Come over here, Dei!"
"Don't call me Dei, un," he grumbled, but sat next to her, "Which arm?"
"Let's reattach the severed arm first, the longer it's separated, the harder it will be to reconnect the neurons in order to allow you full use of this appendage again."
Deidara decided it would be best to at least pretend he understood what she was saying, nodding as she started rattling off everything she'd need to do.
"Wait," Itachi spoke before she started, "Have you been practicing?"
"Yeah," was the response, "Unfortunately, not on something quite like this, but I've healed some animals with bad wounds and worked on the pain thing. But thanks for reminding me!" she turned to our masked member, "Tobi, can you fetch me another stick?"
"Sure, Cin-chan!"
He bounced away and quickly returned with the wood asked for.
"Thanks," she put it in her mouth and got to work.
…
She had gotten better, Deidara realized, he could actually feel his arm connecting as he focused on that rather than looking at her face.
Even if she could handle the pain, there's no guarantee that it wouldn't show on her face, just like practically every emotion that crossed her mind.
She would need to work on that.
"Okay, done," she spoke, spitting out the wood with extreme gusto, "Just let me take a break and we'll get to the other one."
Her breathing was extremely ragged, and when he looked at her, she was sweating from the exertion.
"Kisame," she spoke, "Could you get me a granola bar from the kitchen, please? And also some water?"
Normally the fish-man would tease her about having legs so she could fetch it herself, but looking at her, he reasoned that if she tried to move, her legs would probably collapse on her.
So he fetched the items she asked for.
With all the eagerness of a hungry lion, she ripped open the bar and ate it so quickly that no one saw it move in between her hand and her mouth.
Then she chugged the water down, and afterwards she looked much better.
Not great by any means, but certainly much better.
"Zetsu, I know you said when we last parted that you didn't want to do this, but could you fix dinner these next few nights? I don't think I'll be up to it."
The plant man sighed, "Fine. But just three nights. No more than that."
"Got it!" she grinned happily at him before sighing and retrieving her stick, "Okay, Deidara, let's get moving on the next arm."
"Don't call me…" then he realized she had used the full name and decided to just fume in silence as the others laughed and Itachi smirked.
… … … …
So, what did everyone think of Chapter 2?
Like I've said before, though, there's no guarantee the other chapters will come out as fast as this one did, it all depends on how much time I have.
But hey, I don't like waiting either, so I'll do my best!
Remember, RERV!
