I'm back! Thanks for the reviews, and I hope you'll enjoy the fourth chapter!
Warning: Hidan, Shayla and maybe spoilers...
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, Sasuke wouldn't have been an emo.
"What the fuck?"
Some people stared at Hidan with reprobation. I stifled a laugh at the frowns on the faces of my new roommates.
"It's a car, Psycho. It's a device that allow us to travel a certain distance without walking", I said, amused.
"How does it work?" Asked Pein, looking interested.
"A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels with tires, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather th…"
I clasped my hand over my mouth, horrified, and I could almost see the question marks dancing around their heads. I laughed, embarrassed.
"Eh, eh… sorry about that, I tend to do this when someone ask me something…" I apologized. "But anyway, we have a few back at the house, if you ever want to check them yourself."
They exchanged glances, not very convinced, but said no more.
"If you have one of those things, then why are we walking?" Whined Deidara.
"Because I don't have a driving permit", I responded. "I'm only thirteen, I'm too young to drive a car. But, if you are willing to learn, I guess you could take lessons… I'm sure Weasel Boy would be able to copy the operations", I assured. "Besides, we are only walking for twenty minutes, and that is without saying that you are friggin ninjas, so less then half an hour shouldn't be too hard, don't you think?"
"Tch."
I stopped everyone on the edge of the sidewalk when the light turned green, allowing all the cars to pass. Well, almost everyone. Hidan, absolutely not paying attention, continued on his way. And of course, what was bound to happen… happened.
I must admit, he got hit pretty hard but hey! He's immortal, remember? So, without hesitation, I did the only thing I could at the moment, and started to laugh my head off. Everyone was staring at me, except for Deidara, Kisame and Kakuzu, who were also laughing. Pein and Zetsu were slightly smiling, Konan looked rater worried, Tobi was panicking and Itachi just stood there, watching without even blinking. But I think I saw his lips twitch a little.
"What in the fucking world fucking happened to me? I swear to Jashin-fucking-sama that'll I'll rip out the heart of the fucking asshole that just fricking hit me! Damn it, that hurt like a fucking bitch!" Yelled Hidan.
I swear I saw an old lady faint when she heard all those filthy words that came out of his stupid big mouth. I walked toward him as he replaced a dislocated shoulder, still cursing under his breath. I poked the bump on his head, earning a yelp from the immortal.
"Hey! Watch out, bitch!"
"Meh, you'll survive", I shrugged. "Now stop making a scene and get up, we still have to go to the mall."
"Show some compassion, here! I just go hit by a crar!"
"Car", I corrected. "And it's not like I'm the one responsible for this, you just had to stay with the others."
"Humph, motherfucker…" he grumbled.
"At least I'm not a zombie whore", I replied. "Now come on, we're wasting time and your attracting unwanted attention."
We went back to the others while all the witnesses around were trashing about the accident. Seeing how Hidan was perfectly fine, they weren't sure anymore if someone really got hit. The Sharingan helped as well to confuse the more persisting ones, and everyone soon forgot the whole incident. It was pure luck, and I wasn't sure if we could put a stunt like this again.
"Please, behave yourselves!" I said, dragging them towards the metro.
I was almost begging. Key word, almost. I won't go that low, I still got my pride, after all. Oh, there's the stairs.
"We are going to take the train, so stay calm and whatever happen, don't get lost. Seriously, I won't be able to find you with all the people that will be in there", I warned.
They nodded and we went down. When we arrived at the underground station, I heard a few gasps from the Akatsuki members.
"Follow me, quickly!"
A few seconds later, we were all sitting in a wagon. For an unknown reason, no one besides us were there… Nan, just kidding. They all projected their killing intent to make everyone leave. Quite convenient, if you ask me. Then, we started moving. Right away, the ninjas were all standing up, kunai in hands. I chuckled.
"Calm down, guys, this thing is use for the same purpose as the cars I was talking about earlier. We will reach our destination in thirty minutes so just relax and enjoy the peace while it last", I suggested, gloved hands behind my head to get more confortable.
"What do you mean?" Frowned Kakuzu.
"You'll see."
Everyone stayed silent for a while. Some were examining the place, others were just waiting, Pein and Konan were talking in low voices, and Deidara and Sasori were arguing about art –like I didn't see this one coming-.
"Shay-chan?"
I opened an eye, glancing at Tobi with mistrust. First, only Mia can call me that. Second, I hate this guy.
"What do you want, Tobi?"
"Why are you wearing gloves?" He asked with innocent curiosity.
Of course, he was all but innocent but hey, what can I say? It's not like I could change the plot. But the other way around, the plot was already change…
"I'm just sensitive to cold", I shrugged.
"But it's so hot! Tobi thinks its way to hot to wear gloves!"
"Okay, lets put this differently: I like wearing gloves like you wear you mask, or Pumpkin Head his piercings, or Kisame Samehada. Got it?" I snapped.
He backed off and went to annoy another member. I could feel the piercing gaze of Konan on me, but decided not to pay attention. It's not like I would tell them.
"We're here!"
Wide eyes, the S-ranked criminals were looking around them, astonished by the view of all the buildings that were almost touching the sky, all the vehicles that were passing by, all the people that were walking around us… In short, by all the energy that emanates from New York and it's habitants.
"Come on, were almost there!"
As we were arriving to the mall, a police passed by us, his siren screaming and screeching my ears. I cringed while clasping my hands on my head to block the atrocious sound, and I could feel the worried look Konan sent to me. I sighed. It was going to be more difficult to hide it than I thought. Oh, well, I'll see later.
We finally reached our destination, and I put on my hood.
"Why are you wearing that? You're a criminal too, yeah?" Joked Deidara.
"I just don't like the crowds…" I grumbled. "Let's get to it. The faster we are done with it, the faster we'll be out of here."
I took out my wallet and give at each of them a special gold card.
"This is a sort of money we use. We'll make all the shops to get everything you need so whatever you do, don't lose this card. It's easy to make another one, but I don't want a stranger to use my parent's money", I explained.
"How much do we have?" Asked Pein.
"No limits", I shrugged. "Come on."
"Wait, what? What do you mean, no limits?" frowned Kisame.
"Well, my family is very healthy. We are some of the richest people in the world due to the work and reputation of my parents, so just use however much you want, they won't see the difference", I assured.
I swear I saw Kakuzu drooled over the thought of all the money we had, and I made a mental note to myself to show him the "real" money. I'm sure he'll like it.
We went to the first shop to get clothes.
"Pick what you want, try it in the changing room if you're not sure, and go to counter just there when you're done. Just give the clothes and the card to the lady and wait that she give it back before going. When you're finish, you can wait outside on the bench. I'll provide all the help you'll need. Everyone's okay with that?"
They all nodded, before scattering and going around. Konan, Pein and Kisame, however, were hesitating.
"You sure it's okay? It'll cost a lot", worried the Konan.
"Don't worry, Blue, all the money used here will be back to my parents wallet in the hour anyway", I assured. "Go on!"
"Sweet!" Grinned Kisame.
The other two followed him, and I couldn't help but smile. We passed a few hours there, searching for everything. I helped Konan a lot, and even Hidan asked for some assistance with the t-shirts –more like I forced him to buy some-, and I soon discovered that they were more than just a bunch of criminals. They weren't monsters, they weren't fictional! They were humans, real people with feelings, hearts and souls. They were like a big and crazy family, but a family after all. My heart clenched a little at this thought. Family. When was the last time that we had a time with the whole family? I couldn't remember.
Our parents were always away on a trip, barely passing time with Mia and I, always working or always going to some meetings to the other side of the earth. Geez! Mia barely know them! I remember when she was littler, she though I was actually her mother…
"Bitch!"
Startled, I yelped and fall on my rear. Trying to stop myself, I grabbed the first thing within reach, making the Jashinist fall with me. I got back on my feet and smacked the back of his head.
"Oi, bitch! What was that for?"
I cringed a little. I was the one who made him fall, he haven't done anything… I took out my hand. He looked at me, than my hand, than me again, before grinning and taking it… making me fall again.
"Asshole", I groaned.
"That's for hitting me, crazy ass."
"Whatever, Zombie Psycho. What did you want?"
"Leader sent me to fetch you, everyone's ready to go."
I nodded, and was ready to join the others, but Hidan was staring at me with a frown.
"What?"
"Are… you okay? You seemed a bit off…"
Wait, was the Zombie Psycho actually caring for me?
"Oh, is the Immortal Masochist actually concerned for the little bitch I am?" I mocked sweetly.
"Tch, just fucking forget it, Princess", he grumbled before heading towards the others.
I was acting like a real ass, I knew it, and guilt took upon pride for once.
"Hey, Hidan?"
He stopped in his tracks, mildly surprise that I called him by his name.
"I'm alright. Thanks… for asking."
His lips twitched in a small smile, and he shrugged.
"Whatever, bitch. You coming?"
"Geez, calm your panties, Zombie Whore. I'm coming!"
And I couldn't help but also smile.
So, how was it? Review, review, review! Oh, and... REVIEWS!
...: "I think they understand, Bibi"
Shayla, what are you doing here (again)?
Shayla: "Just enjoying the place. It is so amazing to..."
..."ART IS A BANG, YEAH!"
...
Shayla: "..."
... What was that?
Shayla *nervous laugh*: "Oh, nothing, nothing! Don't worry about..."
Deidara: "COME BACK HERE, STORM! I'M GONNA BLOW YOU UP, YEAH!"
Shayla: "Err... I have to flee. See ya!"
*ran away as if the entire herd that killed Mufasa was coming after her*
TEN SECONDS LATER
Deidara: "Hey, have you seen an insane bitch arround here, hm? I have to... show her some of my art, yeah"
She went this way *point in the correct direction*
Deidara: "Thanks, yeah. STORM, I'M COMING FOR YOU, HM!"
*Go the way indicated*
Deidara: "ART IS A BLAST, HM!"
*Loud explosions and screams*
Shayla: "I FUCKING HATE YOU, BIBI!"
You wouldn't be the first.
But anyway... ja'ne!
