Chapter 4
Kai went up the tree again while Yuuko sat at the bottom.
"I do believe I know that kid"
"are
you sure?"
"yes I believe she is with Kai" with the
mention of the name the taller one was visibly surprised
"come on Zabuza" Zabuza just growled in response "Yuuko!" said girl looked up and was surprised
"Kai!" Kai hanged upside down on the tree facing Yuuko, who pointed at Zabuza's direction, so Kai faced them and was surprised
"Haku" Kai whispered visibly surprised but his voice was calm even it that upside down position
"Kai-san you never changed" Haku said walking up on the two staring at Kai then kissing his forehead, making said person fall down on the grass feet first but lost his balance.
"ne why do you always do that?" Kai asked irritated and a barely visible blush stained his cheeks
"its just fun to see you like that"
"-mumbles something-"
"what was that?" Haku asked Kai smiling radiantly
"nothing, so what are you doing here?"
"traveling"
"since when"
"since Haku missed his little toy" Zabuza replied, hearing this Kai backed up
"Kai why are you acting like that, I missed you" Haku said closing in on Kai
"ah but I'm using a girl's body right now" Kai said Haku stopped a look of fear on his face
"is that true?" Yuuko nodded then Haku's face became serious too serious its scary "change it"
"but"
"CHANGE IT!"
"okay okay" Kai replied completely fearing for everything he holds, he learned earlier that making Haku angry signals the end of the world. So he quickly did 50 hand symbols in 10 seconds followed by a puff of smoke, nothing much changed except for Kai's gender "you happy now?" Kai said kneeling down "Y-Yuuko I need.."
"coming right up" she pulled out a flask and gave it to Kai, Kai drank it all up, regaining his strength
"you never cease to amaze me" Haku said "what did you use this time?"
"the same, there is only one technique you know" Kai said stretching his arms. Haku returned to his normal self
"nyah Kai! I missed you!" he said hugging Kai, more like choking him.
"yeah yeah alright"
"ne remember what we used to do" he said his tone in an almost seductive way. Kai's eyes widened in fear then a savior walked up to them.
"oh you two already know each other"
"oh hi Naru-chan" Kai said visibly relieved getting out of Haku's death hug
"hi, how come you two know each other so well?"
"uhh anou…"
"he was my toy the one I've been looking for" Haku said smiling brightly
"oh but you said you were looking for a male"
"I am now" Kai sat down again
"uhh but you said…" Naru said visibly confused
"it's a lost jutsu"
"eh really I didn't know you knew any" she said by the looks on her face she was really amazed "ah but what's the side effect?"
"it eats up all of my chakra leaving a small amount and it will effect for a long long time"
"oh okay well since you already found him Haku-san what are you planning to do?"
"well I'll stay here, if it's alright with you"
"of course the more the merrier right"
"just my luck" Kai said as he slowly dissolved into thin air
Back at the Akatsuki lair
"now we surely got the kyuubi" Itachi sighed
"but what if-" Kisame started
"don't even think about it, un!"
"but"
"grrr"
"okay okay"
"but I'm curious about what there doing" Sasori sat down on a chair, they were currently in the dinning room eating lunch.
"and I miss them, un" everybody froze "what?"
"how can you miss them?! After what they did!!" Sasori yelled
"but they are the ones who made Akatsuki fun, un"
"to think about it yeah" Tobi said placing his hand to his cheek
"when will they return?" Conan asked
"never, I hope" Pein snapped
"oh come on"
"ne Zetsu mind peeking in?"
"in one condition"
"…"
"well I'm kinda hungry"
"yeah sure when you return we'll get someone"
"goody" then he sank into the earth
Back there at the mansion/castle/very big place
"haaaaaaah I'm exhausted" Kai flopped down at the bed
"eh!? You got more rest before we helped with the cleaning, I never thought that this place is that huge" Yuuko did the same
"well you don't have Haku tailing you all the time" he replied as they were slowly regaining their energy something weird happened a tail and a pair of cat ears emerged from Kai
"hey I thought your concealment jutsu hid your ears and tail" Yuuko said pointing to the tail and ears, Kai shrugged
"they found me" then they stopped they both felt it
"…"
"yup he's here" Kai said standing up, then Zetsu emerged
"yo Zetsu!" Kai greeted
"hn" Zetsu said also noticing Kai's ears and tail
"what brought you here"
"don't tell me that they missed us" Yuuko yelled
"no they are just afraid that you two might ruin the plan with your mischief" his gaze not shifting from the tail which was moving lazily
"our mischief is the one who helps us to finish each mission"
"yeah right"
"so what's up?" Yuuko asked
"everybody is asking when you would finish the mission?" Kai's ears twitched
"so they do miss us"
"no not really, they will just get ready the day you step in the lair again"
"okay okay fine, well depending on the situation we will stay here a little longer" Zetsu was relieved but inside he was (-gasp-) sad.
"so okay see you soon" he said as he sank into the earth, or rather the floor of their room
"I really want to see them again" Kai said sitting down on the bed
"well we really need to get another job"
"yeah I was thinking-" Kai shot her head up sniffing the air "this is -sniff sniff- no way!". He ran out of the room trying to search for the source of the smell
"K-Kai!?" Yuuko yelled as she stood up and ran after Kai also sniffing the air "nothing smells weird except hmm minty smell oh shit don't tell me" she said as she ran faster. Kai saw it there was a boy wearing a cowboy hat and a jacket tied to his hips who was lighting somekind of incense his tail moving quickly, Yuuko saw him and she covered his nose with her hand using a technique to emit an herbal smell of oregano, Kai quickly snapped out of the daze and was being dragged by Yuuko to their room
"-sigh- thanks reeeaaally" Kai said as he brought out his hooded cape and wore it covering his ears and tail
"what
kind of catnip was that?"
"it's the invention of my
stupid brother just to get on my nerves"
"huh?"
"it's incense"
"geez, okay come on lets go outside"
Outside. They sat at the tree again
"but who in their right minds would light catnip incense?" Yuuko asked no one in particular.
"maybe its someone who's not in their right minds" Kai adjusted the hood, then this guy slowly approached them along with all those annoying sparkling things and a herd of fangirls with hearts for eyes (how can they see in those?) his so called cool hair blowing in a windless day, he smiled leaving all the girls in a break down, he was wearing a bandana and a long coat. He stopped right in front of the two he ran his fingers into his hair hoping to get the attention of the two who just ignored him Yuuko yawned and Kai leaned on the tree attempting to start a conversation with Yuuko. The guy twitched and a vein popped in his forehead and cleared his throat, Kai looked at him lazily
"do you need anything" he asked
"I overheard that you think that someone lighting catnip incense is crazy" the guy complained
"yeah pretty much" Kai replied slightly getting annoyed
"well excuse me we are not crazy"
"we? Well you could tell your imaginary friend that were not interested" Yuuko said also getting annoyed, but grinned silently at Kai's direction who (once again) adjusted his hood to hide the growing smirk, the guy was constantly twitching because of annoyance.
"I don't have an imaginary friend!" then pulling the same guy earlier out of nowhere (the one lighting the incense) "this is my brother"
"no actually I don't know this highly embarrassing person" the guy snapped leaving the other one shocked
"good one" Kai said to the cowboy hat guy, then the other guy acted up, literally
"how cruel left alone cause he misses his little twin sister" Kai twitched "does all the weeks of incest have no effect" the cowboy hat guy's eyes widened then he hit the guys head with a random pole
"ne I are you guys related?" Kai whispered to Yuuko
"I don't know how that subject squeezes its ugly head into this conversation" he said between hitting the pole.
"geez things never change huh, except for that incest part" Kai whispered to himself. The beating finally stopped and the cowboy hat guy faced the two
"I'm sorry for this guy's behavior I'm Inuya he's Hanase"
"yep no problem" I replied "now may I ask why are you lighting catnip incense?"
"well it helps us calm down, the smell it reminds us of a long lost family" he said closing his eyes and reminiscing.
"and who might that family be?"
"my sister"
"twin sister?"
"yes how did you know?"
"her name is Kai?"
"…"
"lost 5 years ago? Am I right?"
"how did…"
"just guessing I'm pretty good at it" Kai replied standing up to exit the place
"no your-" but he was cut of as the gust of wind pulled down Kai's hood to reveal his black ears "K-Kai!?" he said as tears fell from his eyes as he ran to Kai and hug him knocking him down in the process and choking him, Hanase stood up and went to Kai and also hugged him
"ack get of me dammit" he screamed "and by the way you don't have a twin sister"
"what do you mean?" Kai smiled an eerie smile "y-you completed the jutsu?" they both said in unison Kai's smile widened easily convincing the two. As the two nodded they noticed something
"Kai your ears . . . why are they pure black" Inuya whispered touching said ears
"huh?" Yuuko asked confused
"well the color represents the uhh…" Kai started but can't find the words to explain and Hanase continued it for him
"to make long story short. The darker the color the higher the rank of the sins one has committed"
"we were all born with white forms and once you did something considered as a sin patches of darker color would form first it comes in light shades but the greater the damage the darker the color"
"show me yours" Kai ordered the two nodded they removed the hats revealing their own ears. Inuya's was white with hints of gray and Hanase's was gray with hints of whites
"what did you do?" Hanase asked fury slowly building inside him
"what I do is none of your concern" Kai sneered
"it is because you're still a part of our family" Hanase snapped back, Kai scoffed
"if that's what you want to think then fine" as he turned his back to his brothers slowly shaking
"just tell us" Inuya pleaded gently holding Kai's arm
"I did almost every sin written it that fucking book" he replied his voice laced by bloodlust. Inuya let go of Kai's arm a pained expression crossing both his and Hanase's face "now you know so lay of my case" Kai said his voice a lot calmer
"Kai . . ."
"well that's that" Kai replied returning in his normal mood and casually walking towards Yuuko to sit down but before he could completely sit Hanase pulled him and pinned him into a nearby tree
"how could you act like this is not a problem?!" he asked furiously. Kai just had a bored expression on his face
"because it is not" he replied calmly
"what if you go back to the village?" Hanase asked Kai gritted his teeth
"who told you I was going back to that hellhole" he sneered and forcefully pushed his brother off him and started to calm himself down. After recovering from the push Hanase moved towards Kai and smiled gratefully
"that's good to hear" he said as he gently hugged Kai tears falling from his eyes Kai's bored expression came once again as he repeated the same words that was said to him back when he still was a child
"to shed a tear means you are weak to cry out loud means you are weak to hide means you are weak-" but he was cut off due to Hanase's laughter
"so you remembered that"
"how could I not remember it, it was yelled at me all the time" Kai smirked
"well that ends the afternoon drama show thank you for watching" Inuya announced smiling brightly and suddenly glomping Kai
"if you people keep doing that my bones will brake" he complained and stood up "well I'm sorry to ruin this little family reunion but we've got work to do" Kai said taking Yuuko's hand and leading her to the mansion but Hanase grabbed his wrist and spun him around so Kai is facing him and he whispered something to Kai. Kai sweatdropped
"no I'm not, live with Haku the next day you'll lose it" Kai answered turning around but Hanase spun him again
"what are you her toy?!"
"to be exact 'his' toy and he prefers my male version and you could say that I am" his answer left Hanase dumbfounded "I used this technique too often I probably wont turn back into a girl" the two mumbled something about how they preferred his male state better but Kai chose to ignore it. Then Kai's nightmare appeared, Haku.
"Kaiiiiiiiii!" he said trapping Kai into a huge glomp. Inuya and Hanase froze. Hanase regained his composure and smiled his so-called cool smile.
"and who might this lovely lady be?" Kai sweatdropped. Haku looked confused
"Kai who are they"
"my brothers" he replied still sulking
"oh! I see!"
"I see my sis- brother! Already introduced us"
"no not really, one night he just talked about his brothers and he told me that you two were complete idiots" the two were shocked and looked at Kai who just took of his hooded cloak and let his tail wag lazily "and that's the last time I ever heard of you two" Haku concluded. The two growled at Kai
"I'm not lying" he said nonchalantly. While Hanase silently fumed Inuya spoke with Haku
"uhh actually we don't know your name miss"
"oh yeah that's right may the beautiful lady tell us her name" Hanase asked joining in with Inuya. Haku giggled and smiled
"my name is Haku" the two paused (you know that pause where the character goes black and white and looks like you little sibling's drawing?) and winds passed by. Everyone was silent, unmoving. Then the two siblings (referring to Inuya and Hanase) broke the silence with a loud
"EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!!" the loud eeeehhhh went echoing throughout the entire mansion/castle innocent bystanders stared in awe at the two siblings who were deflated on the ground. Leaving them, Kai slowly crept away as Haku and Zabuza poked his brothers with sticks, hoping that Haku won't notice him. Then
"Kai! I finally found you" Yuuko said giving away Kai's plans for escape. Noticing Haku and Zabuza she realized her mistake.
"Kai? Were you trying to run away?" Haku said in a sweet and innocent voice
"uhh I…uh –gulp-" he tried to dodge but it was no use he got pinned into a tree by Haku's needles anime tears streaming down his face.
"gomene Kai" Yuuko whispered. Kai sighed. At the moment Inuya and Hanase woke up to see Zabuza wearing a pink frilly apron and emitting a high-pitched giggling and realized that it was only a dream (a nightmare is more like it) and saw Haku leaning in on Kai.
"waaaaaaaiiiiit!" he yelled stopping Haku from whatever he was doing
"yes?"
"uhh"
"take me instead"
"what do you mean?"
"you were about to kiss Kai, take me instead, I'm going to sacrifice anything for my little koneko!!" Hanase said dancing around while speaking accompanied by the sparkly sparkles and once again drawing in the fangirls (whoever they may be)
"I was not going to kiss him, I will just say something to him" Haku explained and laughed a little bit "I'm surprised though, you wanted me to kiss you?" Hanase blushed "sorry Kai is the only one I like, but I like Zabuza too" Haku said looking at Zabuza who was looking away to hide his own streaks of pink "and by the way Kai is much cuter than you" Hanase looked like he was crushed by an 18 wheeler but his face remained blank obviously not waking up from his daze, but he did when he saw Kai smirking for victory and sticking his tongue out at him he started stomping in Kai's direction
"wipe that smirk off of your face it's not funny!"
"ah I might reconsider though" Haku replied looking at Hanase from head to foot. Hanase grinned thinking that this is some sort of payback for what Kai has done but Kai's smirk grew wider. But Haku spoke again "no sorry I still like Kai more" and Kai literally hit his head on a tree as Haku was speaking with Zabuza, Inuya feeling completely left out, Yuuko trying to stop Kai, and Hanase still confused.
"Kai! Yuuko! I have something I want you to do" a lady carrying a pig was running their way
"ah and you are?" Kai asked as blood trickled down his forehead
"I'm Shizune a representative of the higher-ups" she replied pointing up
"and how did you know our names?"
"the higher-ups know all the names of the people that chose to live hear" Shizune replied, Kai frowned
"and what do you want us to do?" Yuuko asked
"give this to the prince" she showed them a thick brown folder.
"you can't give it to him yourself?" Kai asked
"no I cant find them, so I figured that since you live here you might be able to track them down, so here" she handed the folder to Yuuko then looked at her watch "omfg! I'm late" and she hopped away (excuse the pun if you see one) leaving the two stumped
"we don't even know our way around"
"let's grab someone we see that knows this place" and they both saw Hinata
"Hinata-chan thanks for helping us"
"no it's nothing really" she replied
"good thing the others had other things to do" they were walking on what it seems to be an endless hallway that keeps going and going and going . . . until it stopped in front of a door that was different than the others it was larger and more elegant they knocked no reply and Kai reached for the doorknob
"but Kai-kun!"
"shh don't worry, maybe they are watching tv with a high volume or something and this door is like 5 inches thick the walls are 8 inches, I think" he pushed the door open rather loudly and stepped inside the others following. They stopped dead in their tracks by the scene inside the four walled confinement. A half naked Naruto was being straddled by a half naked Sasuke who was also stopped by the sudden intrusion. They were all frozen wind blowing and tumbleweed rolling by. The two guys on the couch made no move, Kai raised eyebrows in a kind of lazy matter, Yuuko was surprised, and Hinata was having a serious case of nosebleed. Then Kai spoke
"well sorry for the intrusion" Yuuko handed Kai the folder "a woman named Shizune gave it to us and instructed us to give it to you" he placed the folder on the table in front of the couch and slid his hands into his pockets "again, I'm sorry for interrupting" and he got ready to leave then stopped "do you have a box of tissue?" Naruto pointed at the top of the tv Kai reached for it and gave some to Hinata and put it back again "thanks, ja ne" he said as he walked outside the two following then stopped again "lock the door next time" he called out as he closed the door and pressed his catly ears to the door he heard rustling from the other side and the hushed click of the door lock
"well that's that" Kai concluded. Yuuko walked behind him holding Hinata whose eyes were swirling and they walked out of the castle/mansion into the garden. Letting Hinata sit at the grass, the two took their seats on each sides of the still dizzy Hinata. When Hinata cleared up she only had one question to ask
"h-how did you do that?"
"eh? Did what?" Kai replied
"h-how d-did you stay calm at a situation like that?" a dark blush that was slowly creeping to her cheeks
"well I got used to it, back into the old place where we stayed, every room you open you could find two couples who seemed to be enjoying themselves" Kai thought of the Akatsuki lair "most are gay too"
At the Akatsuki lair:
Everybody except Conan: AACHOO!
Everybody shivered while thinking of the numerous possibilities of what the two were thinking about them, while Conan pouted.
Conan: why do I feel left out?
