Ok... here's chapter two for the few of you who have read chapter one so far. Some reviews would be nice sometimes people. Ya know?
When I woke up I felt a aching coming from my back and groan uselessly. How do I always end up sleeping weirdly… you think I'd move to make myself more comfortable… damn. Rolling over onto my back I felt around the bed to find out Zetsu wasn't there. This made my chest ache and I quickly blocked the emotion out of habit. Damn, what the hell? He's not gone stupid me… use your fucking head. As soon as I calmed down I noticed something was sleeping on my feet.
I listened carefully to my surrounding and noticed that peoples' showers were on. Feet pattered down the hall towards the kitchen and muffled voices could be hear. I evened out my breathing and listened harder. From the living room I could tell that the TV was on but that was as good as it got.
Sighing I sat up and twisted my body making my whole back pop, I took a deep breath and let it out as I twisted the other way repeating the process. Once I was done with that I stood up out of bed and began cracking everything else, letting out a happy sigh when I was done.
"Wow… that was… nasty. To put it simply. And would you put some clothes on?" Tobi's voice spoke from the other side of the room.
"Nasty or not I feel better. Good morning Sempai." I said back defending myself. Looking away from him I started petting Gamma on the end of the bed.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Mehhhh… clothes suck. They just get in the way and get dirty."
"Do you have any idea how much you tend to sound like that idiot Hidan?"
"Yeah… but at least I'm not actually an idiot, life is just easier when people think you're one."
"Unless you hate being treated like an idiot. Like you and myself." My back tensed and I looked over my shoulder at him with cold eyes.
"I don't care if you can kill me but please refrain from dwelling into my thoughts or personal life." The shower in our room turned off and I hid the emotion from my face.
"Be careful little girl… hiding your true self from him for too long will just hurt him more in the long run. I think I'm finally starting to understand why you act the way you do… you're a fantastic actress… let's put it to the test."
"What are you getting at here? You think you know all about me? Well then I guess the fields are even because I know all about you too."
"Are you actually threatening me?"
"Do you think I'm foolish? No… I told you the truth. What's the point in lying?"
"You do it all the time so you tell me… You're going on your first mission today." My eyes went cold again as I glared at him for the accusation. "You'll discuss the details with Pein."
"Very well. You should try to be less… overpowering if you want people to enjoy your company, Sempai. I may respect you but that doesn't mean I enjoy being treated like an idiot, expectably by you. People tend to respect the people they wish they were like…" The door to the bathroom opened and I turned away from the surprised look on his face to walk into the bathroom around Zetsu.
As I turned to close the door I noticed the shocked look on both of their faces before shutting the door. Their bathroom was rather clean and organized. I kept my gaze adverted as I dealt with my more personal needs. Once done I stood in front of the mirror, staring back at myself and replayed what Madara had told me. "Hide my true self? How could he even tell?"
I kept from sighing and wiped the emotions from my face as I stepped out into their room. Looking around I found where I had tossed my other clothes the night before and walked over picking them up. I slipped the shorts back on trying to ignore the awkward silence that was pressing down on all of us. The bra was a bit harder to put back on seeing as I was doing it without taking my shirt off but I was used to changing under my clothes.
Turning to face the both of them I shifted from foot to foot nervously and avoided eye contact. "Well if you're going to say something say it." I sighed stopping all movements and looking up at them lazily. They stayed quiet and I was starting to become annoyed before finally giving up on them. "Fine, whatever, don't tell me. Later I guess."
I could feel their eyes on my as I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me. Men suck… I wonder what Bre's up to… probably still asleep… Walking across the hall I went into the kitchen to find Bre standing at the stove making breakfast. An idea popped into my head and I stifled my laughter.
Making absolutely no noise I snuck up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"H-Hidan, leave me be! I'm making breakfast." I bit my lip to keep from laughing and nuzzled into her neck a little. "I said to leave me-" She spun around quickly and I jumped back dodging her attack and starting laughing. "Damnit, Cass! What the hell is wrong with you! You scared me half to death!" He yelling made me snicker and I smiled at her mischievously.
"I couldn't help myself. I needed some comedic relief." I looked her straight in the eyes and I watched as they changed before she quickly hid her emotions. Maybe he was right. Maybe I do need to stop lying to myself. But if this is what the true me does to people then who would want to be around me?
"It was… him, huh?" My lips twitched to a harsh smirk and she looked away quickly. "Does he know? About you?"
"He knows quite a bit… I'd wonder how but it is him we're talking about." This time I looked away from her as her eyes shot back up towards my face.
"How much? Will you be ok?" I smiled slightly and gestured at the food behind her to bring her attention back to the stuff that could burn. She turned quickly and went back to cooking as I thought.
"He knows that I'm a good actress but he hasn't hinted at much more." Bre's back tensed slightly and I could almost feel the anger coming off her. "It's fine though. I'm doing fine… just have things I need to think over."
"Don't let him control you. I don't care how powerful he is." I laughed and she turned around setting a plate of food in front of me. "Just talk to me if it gets bad ok."
"I know." We ate our breakfast in silence and I rinsed my plate off in the sink when I was finished. "I have to go get mission details, I'll see ya around." Walking out of the kitchen I noticed Kisame leaning in the doorway of Zetsu's room talking and repressed my chakra as best I could slowing down.
"-'ll be fine. She's a big kid, she can take-" Just as I was close enough to most likely hear the other person Kisame cut off and tensed up. I felt the atmosphere become tense and realized he was more than likely registering me as an enemy. My body moved on it's own, dropping into a defensive position out of habit and my whole body tensed up.
Oh course knowing me, if it would help defend me my body would do it. So as soon as my body moved my chakra also flared up. Kisame let out an annoyed sigh and gave me a playful glare. "Kid, sometimes you're more trouble than you're worth."
"I know." I smirked at him and a little blot of red ran towards me tackling me to the ground. As soon as he had me pinned Gamma started licking my face enthusiastically. "Good morning little puppy." I rubbed his head and ears receiving more kisses in return.
One of my arms wrapped around him as I noticed the hand Kisame held out to me. I grabbed the hand and he pulled me up in one swift motion. "You're lighter than I'd have thought."
"Are you saying I look fat?" He snickered and I glared at him punching him in the arm. I didn't even be gentle about it because I knew it wouldn't affect him either way. "You're a jerk Kisa-Sempai."
"You're weak, Kid." He looked up at the doorway and I noticed Zetsu standing there looking dejected.
"W-what's wrong?" I quickly handed Kisame my puppy and shoved past him to Zetsu. As soon as I was in front of him he looked away from me and I felt my chest ache. Tears sprang to my eyes and I reached up to his face with a shaky hand.
"I'll be waiting in front of Leader's office Kid, don't be long." I barely heard Kisame talk, let alone shut the door behind me as I tried getting Zetsu's attention.
"Z-Zetsu… please don't ignore me… what's wrong? Zetsu?"
"I talked to Tobi. Are you sure you like being with us?" My eyes widened and I looked away from his face.
"So he told you… I didn't like… being with you?" Anger choked my voice and I felt myself shaking. I clenched my fists and slammed my right hand backwards into the wall. "What did he tell you!"
Zetsu looked back at me and I shivered under his gaze. His eyes were cold and harsh and I looked away as tears fell down my face. I'm stupid… he trusts Madara the most out of everyone here. Talking bad about Madara to Zetsu is like begging him to kill you where you stand.
"I'm sorry… I was out of line." My vision hazed and I dropped my arms beside me. "Forgive me but I must go. Leader wishes to speak to me and I don't find it wise to keep him waiting. I'll leave you alone." My whole body ached as I turned around to open the door.
Once my fingers brushed the metal Zetsu's hands slammed into the door on either side of my face. I flinched pulling my arms into my chest and stopped breathing. "Don't leave…" I felt his forehead press into the top of my back and I calmed myself down.
"Zetsu… I love being with you. You're perfect for me. Please don't doubt me… I need you." His hands moved from the door and wrapped around me pulling me closer to him.
"Sorry… I'm sorry… I'm so very sorry, Cass."
"Shh shh shh. You don't have to apologize." I twisted around and he looked at me with his gold eyes making me blush. Looking down I kissed him softly on the top of his head before resting my head on his. "It's ok."
"No it's not… We suck." I looked into his eyes and trapped his face in my hands. He looked back at me and I crashes my lips into his. We stayed like that for a little while before I had to pull back to breath.
"Hush. Be good, I really do have to go… first mission awaits." He gave me a hesitant smile and I smiled back. "I still love you so you better not forget or I'll beat the shit out of you, got it." He chuckled and I smiled more.
"First, we're always good, you're the trouble maker. And second, we'll never forget, but if we did, it's not like you could take us anyway. We love you too." I punched him gently in the chest and he laughed. "Kisame was right, you are weak."
"Ah! Jerk." I pouted and giggled helplessly kissing his cheek before leaving and leading down to Leader's office. Once I was closer I noticed Kisame was leaning up against the wall outside and my puppy was nowhere to be seen. Where does he go in his free time?
As soon as I thought it I heard a quiet panting behind me stopped abruptly making Gamma run into the back of my legs. I looked down and saw Gamma staring up at me with a look of "why did you stop?". I giggled and pointed next to me and he walked up next to me and sat waiting. Smiling I continued walking to Kisame with Gamma next to me.
Yay character development! What does this strange not-quite-new-part of Cass mean? What all does Madara know? Where is Hades? OOooooooOOOooOooOoOOoooOOoo, ok I'm done now. Till next time.
