Me: Hey people!!! Satsuki here. I'm very disappointed since only 1 reviewed. T.T' I need your opinions, people! My story isn't that bad, is it?! Anyways even though my story isn't that popular I still want to publish to this chapter. I have to finish this story!!!
And since I'm not so busy lately (the stupid projects are gone! Yay X3), I now bring you the second chapter of When Worlds Collide!!! But before that here is Tobi to do the disclaimer.
Tobi: Satsuki-chan does not own Naruto or any of its characters. They belong to Kishimoto-sama. But she does own Chiaki-chan, Haruka-chan, Namine-chan and Tsukasa-chan!! Tobi is a good boy!!!
Me: Thanks Tobi! –throws cookies at him-
Tobi: Thank you Satsuki-chan!!! –runs off-
Me: On with the story!!!
~*~
It was a scorching sunny morning at Chiaki's house.
"Ugh… I'm bored… I think I'm gonna melt…" Chiaki whined.
"Ditto…" Haruka agreed.
"Too hot…" the others complained.
Chiaki suddenly had an idea and rushed upstairs.
"I wonder what she's gonna do this time, un," Deidara said.
"Nothing useful, of course," Sasori replied, rolling his eyes. "I'm just thankful that Haruka-baka over here is too hot to move around."
"I heard that, Sasori-teme," Chiaki spoke as she carried a medium-sized kiddie pool with her. She walked to the back door and cried, "But since you think my ideas are useless, I guess you don't want to take part of my pathetic swimming party at the backyard. EVERYONE, CHANGE INTO YOUR BATHING SUITS, EXCEPT YOU SASORI, I'M FILLING UP THIS POOL OUTSIDE!!!"
In a flash, everyone was in their swimsuits. Chiaki wore her new and skimpy yellow bikini and Haruka wore her white one-piece swimsuit with a picture of a cat on it. Tsukasa got into a pink bikini with a strapless top. Namine changed into her sky blue tank top and navy swimming shorts. The boys just put on black swimming trunks, while Sasori was on his knees in front of Chiaki, apologizing countlessly.
After they finished filling up the pool with fresh, cool water, the gang looked at the pool which looked very enticing. But the problem was the pool was fit for only two people.
"Maybe I should try first since this was my idea, right?" Chiaki asked.
The others glared at her while she dipped her foot inside the pool. 'How selfish,' they all thought.
"Ow! Hot! Hot!" she exclaimed as she held her scalded foot.
"I guess that the weather is warm enough to boil the water in a matter of seconds," Sasori said as he put his hands behind his head. (And yes, Sasori was finally allowed to participate, but not without him swallowing his pride! XD)
The group stood there with a melancholic aura surrounding them until Namine screamed,
"Let's go to the beach!!!"
~*~
After a ten-minute drive downtown, the crew finally arrived at the beach, also known as the Summer Paradise. Chiaki quickly parked the car next to the entrance and the boys hauled out the things – beach umbrellas, the food, towels and other stuff. The girls quickly ran towards the beach – only to find it empty.
"What the..." Haruka cried, shocked.
"The beach is gawd-damned empty?!" Chiaki gawked.
"Looks like we're the only ones here, so it's best if we enjoy this day to ourselves," Tsukasa sighed and put down her handbag next to her towel. She started applying sunblock to her arms and legs, and offered to put some on Namine.
"Well, look at the bright side! At least we won't have to deal with crowded people and noisy children," Namine told them as Tsukasa slathered sunblock on her back.
"Yeah, I guess so," Chiaki agreed, albeit a bit hesitant.
~*~
When the boys arrived with the stuff, their jaws practically hit the sand as they saw that the beach was uninhabited with the exception of the girls. Hidan quickly dropped what he was holding and announced, "Okay, that's it, I'm leaving."
"And just where do you think you're going, Hidan?!" Chiaki quickly appeared behind him and seized him by his silver hair.
"But there aren't any pretty girls out here!" Hidan whined as he struggled out of her grip.
"You're not going anywhere, you little twerp!" Chiaki yelled as she threw Hidan inside the Door of Doom.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Hidan screamed in agony as the door was shut behind them.
The others just shook their heads in pity.
~*~
Haruka approached Sasori who was traumatized of her.
"Sasori…"
"Oh Haruka what did I do this time I promise I'll give you anything just get out of my sight!!!" Sasori pleaded.
"Stop overreacting, I just want the beach ball!" Haruka stuck out her tongue at him and grabbed the ball he was holding.
Sasori was stunned. "She didn't… clutch my arm and stick with me all day long..?" he dazedly asked.
"Looks like she finally gave up on you, Danna un," Deidara stated as he set the cooler box beside Tsukasa.
"All right! Finally! I've been waiting for this my whole life!!!" Sasori exclaimed as he did a little victory dance.
Haruka sat down behind a boulder, out of sight of the others.
"That's what you think, Sasori, but what do you know?" she grinned evilly as she pulled out a radar out of her pouch. The radar picked up the signal that came from the anklet that Sasori was obliviously wearing. "With this little baby, I can find out where you are, anytime, anyplace!" And with that she started laughing like a crazed maniac.
~*~
Meanwhile, Namine walked around the beach, looking for seashells. She found a pretty pink shell by the shore when Tobi appeared in front of her.
"Hi Namine-chan! What are you doing?" he asked.
"Look Tobi-kun, I found a seashell! It's so adorable," she admired the small mollusk as she showed it to Tobi.
"But, Namine-chan is much lovelier than the seashell!" Tobi replied, grinning behind his mask.
Namine blushed and smiled. "You're right, Tobi, you really are a good boy. A very good boy."
~*~
Zetsu dipped his feet at the shallow end of the sea as he looked around for seaweed.
"You're looking for seaweed, right, Zetsu-san?" Tsukasa eyed him as she stayed under the large beach umbrella, holding a book in one hand and a fruitshake in another.
Zetsu left the water and walked towards the chocolate-haired girl and stared at her thoughtful coral pink eyes. He gazed at the book she was reading which was "Memories of the Haunted".
"Isn't that Chiaki's book?" Zetsu inquired her.
"Yes, I borrowed it from her yesterday," Tsukasa replied, not taking her eyes off the book.
"Isn't that supposed to be a horror book? Kisame was scared out of his wits just after he finished the first chapter," he asked, quite puzzled.
"I know, but I was quite enthralled with this story's plot. And also, I am very fond of reading horror stories," Tsukasa replied.
"Hm. I didn't expect that." Zetsu replied as he sat beside her and picked up another book titled "Blood Trap".
~*~
"Ne minna, it's time for lunch!!" Haruka called to her friends, "but before that we have to play a game."
Tobi quickly turned his attention to Haruka. "Ooh, games! Tobi likes games very much! What game will Tobi play, Haruka-chan?" he asked, acting pretty much like a 5-year-old who was going to get ice cream for lunch.
"Actually, I've already picked the perfect person to play this game. Tsukasa, come here!" Haruka called.
"M-me? Of all people, why me?!" Tsukasa asked, annoyed that she had to pause reading for a while.
"Stop complaining and get your lazy ass right here! We're all freaking starving!!!" Haruka yelled back.
"Well, if you're so hungry, then why don't you play that stupid game yourself?!" Tsukasa muttered under her breath.
The moment Tsukasa reached Haruka, Haruka quickly wrapped a blindfold around her eyes.
"We're playing the 'Smash the Watermelon' game!" Haruka proudly announced.
"You mean I have to hit the watermelon with my eyes blindfolded?!" Tsukasa asked.
"Yep, that's pretty much what you're going to do." She replied. "As for the rest of you, you have to tell Tsukasa which way she'll go, okay?" The others nodded in approval.
"Okay… START!"
"Go left, Tsukasa!" Namine yelled, even though the watermelon is at the right side.
Haruka quickly got Namine's point and started to yell "Left!!!"
The others sensed where this was going to and encouraged Tsukasa to go left.
"There Tsukasa! Perfect, yeah!" Deidara yelled, trying to hold back his laughter.
*BONK!*
"Ow!! That was my head, you stupid jerk!!!" Poor Kisame exclaimed, holding his head.
The gang doubled over with laughter as they replayed on their heads what happened to the poor shark man who was innocently playing with a few crabs near the shore.
The moment they finished laughing, Chiaki and Hidan stepped out of the Door of Doom.
"What happened to you two?" Haruka asked, noticing Chiaki's bright red face and Hidan's small perverted smirk.
"N-nothing…" Chiaki bemusedly stammered as she walked straight to her towel.
"Hidan?!" Haruka asked the white-haired albino, glaring as his face turned the same shade as Chiaki's.
"Like she said, nothing," Hidan replied, a small smile forming on his lips.
The others just shrugged and resumed their game.
~*~
When Tsukasa finally smashed the watermelon (not without hitting Deidara and Itachi accidentally), each grabbed a piece and started eating.
"I've got another game," Haruka suggested.
"What kind of game?" Tsukasa eyed her suspiciously while she chewed on her watermelon.
"Oh don't worry, everyone is going to participate in this game," she assured her. "This time, the game is 'Who Can Spit a Watermelon Seed the Farthest?'"
"The objective of this game is, like the name says, to spit your watermelon seed farther than anyone else. Each player can only spit one seed," she explained.
"And," she added, with a glint of mischief in her obsidian eyes, "the loser has to kiss the winner, and the winner makes the loser his or her slave for the day!"
"That sounds fun," Namine said.
The others imagined what it would be like if both the winner and the loser were of the same sex. They grimaced, disgusted at the thought, but excited all the same.
"Everybody, and I mean every one of us here in the beach, is going to participate. Do I make myself clear?" Haruka stated.
"Yes ma'am!" the rest answered.
"First up, Itachi Uchiha!"
~*~
After everyone took his/her turn, Kakuzu announced the winners.
"Winner: Akasuna no Sasori. Loser: Haruka Takashima. The others, good job." He announced in a monotonous voice, and then sat down.
"Kiss Sasori now, Haruka!" Namine urged her.
'Yes, everything is going according to my plan!!!" Haruka thought gleefully as Mini Haruka danced around in joy inside her head.
She approached Sasori and pecked him lightly on the lips. Oh, how wonderful those brief 3 seconds were for her!
Sasori just sat there indifferently, not even caring about what happened.
"Okay. Haruka, my first command." Sasori announced while Haruka eagerly listened.
"Get away from me as far as possible."
Everyone collapsed, anime-style.
But Haruka wasn't even upset. "You know that isn't possible, do you, Sasori?" she asked menacingly.
"But the rules said that the loser gets to be the winner's slave for the day! Those were your own rules! I don't expect you to disobey, Haruka." Sasori exclaimed.
"I know it was my rule, but then again, what you were asking for isn't possible. Even if you ask Itachi to drag me away from you, it won't happen." Haruka bluntly explained.
"What do you mean by that? Itachi, please drag this crazy maniac away from me," he unnervingly told the Uchiha.
When Itachi carried Haruka and placed her at least 20 metres from Sasori, Haruka suddenly went back to Sasori, a small bracelet dragging her to him.
"What the hell?" Sasori asked, bewildered by what happened.
"You see, Sasori-chan? You and I have a magnetic bracelet that binds us together." Haruka grinned as she elaborated.
"This… thing… won't… budge!!!" Sasori exclaimed as he persistently tugged at his sturdy bracelet.
"Tsk tsk, Sasori, that bracelet is locked, and only I have the key," Haruka shook her head.
"DEIDARA! BLOW THIS STUPID THING UP!!!" Sasori wailed desperately.
"Right away, yeah!" Deidara gleefully replied, finally getting a chance to show his art once again.
The pyromaniac quickly formed a small clay bird and placed it on top of the bracelet.
"Deidara! I'm gonna get blown up too! You stupid nutcase!!!" Sasori yelled, but the bird exploded with a big *BANG!!!* (anime-style)
"Art is a bang, un!!!" The blond-haired artist exclaimed triumphantly.
Sasori and Haruka recovered from the explosion quickly. Sasori frantically shook off the dirt from the bracelet, only to find it intact.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Haruka sighed, grabbed Sasori's wrist and unlocked the bracelet. She turned around and left silently.
"Wait, Haruka!"
She turned around and found Sasori grinning at her.
"Thanks," he said as he rubbed his wrist.
"You're welcome. I just like to mess around with you. Sorry for the trouble I caused." She muttered dejectedly, looking away from the redhead.
~*~
As the afternoon passed by, the gang enjoyed themselves by swimming and frolicking around the seashore. Namine even bought Tobi a small cookie jar with a picture of a puppy on it.
Chiaki and Hidan just sat and stared at the ocean, their eyes refusing to meet each other. Haruka approached them and asked, "Just what is the matter with you two? Ever since you stepped out from that silly door, you've become silent and distant. What exactly happened inside the Door of Doom?" She eyed them suspiciously.
The two replied at the same time, "Nothing!"
"Okay, but by the looks of your faces, it doesn't look like 'nothing' at all," Haruka retorted. "Well if you really don't want to tell me or the others, I understand. Anyways it's getting late; maybe the both of you should start packing up soon." She advised them.
The two just nodded and started to gather their things, their eyes still declining to meet.
~*~
"This is definitely the best day I've ever had!" Namine happily exclaimed.
"Now now, Namine, it's still too early to say that. After all, when you're with the Akatsuki, every day's always an adventure, ne?" Tsukasa told her.
The Akatsuki just smiled, flattered at what Tsukasa said.
"Yeah, Tsukasa, you're right. We'll never get bored with the Akatsuki around!" Haruka stated with a grin.
~*~
Me: There! Chapter Two is officially finished! I hope everyone liked this chapter!!!
