Story Four: Just a Mutt…

Note: Up until now the one shots have been where the characters are young, but this one takes place around when everyone is 15, 16 maybe. Ever since I found out that Tobi had a smart, evil sorta side I thought I would write this. And yes I know that's under the legal drinking age.

I laid in the grass, completely out of touch with everything that was going on around me. The Akatsuki was having another meeting and they had become frequenter ever since…Deidara.. I try to shake the thought out of my head but can't. Even though he was dead we were partnered up so many times, and although the occasional quarrel we got along just fine. It was hard to think of him as gone.

"Kurakay. " I open my eyes from where I lay and saw Tobi peering over me. I sit up and see that everyone else had left.

"What do you want Tobi? I'm really not in the mood." I turn my face away from him, not wanting to mess with his attitude.

"Kurakay looks like she could use some tea." I turn toward him again and see a small cup of what looked like tea in my face. I thought his statement over. My mouth was dry but did I really want to take something from Tobi? I sigh, what could really go wrong? I take the cup from his hands and take a small sip. It tasted like tea…but like something else. I take a longer sip, this time cherishing the taste. I soon start to get a strange feeling inside of me, my eyelids growing heavy but not enough to put me asleep. Then my sense of secrets went, all the walls that I had built around my memories and thoughts just disappeared. I also felt…a live.

~~*~~

"Good, your intoxicated enough now." Some would think that anyone would be feeling guilty for making a fifteen year old girl drunk but there was not one bone in my body that rung with guilt. I was actually quite excited because now I could get my questions answered.

"So Kurakay, what are your parents names?" I could see her influenced mind work, work at trying to answer the question.

"Ahh.. Zoey…Hyuga…and Koji…Uchi…HAHAHAHA!" I jump slightly, startled.

"Your face…looks l-like a basketball!!! HAHA!! Tobi b-basketball face!!!" I roll my eyes to my own accord. This might not be easy.

"Yes, so it seems your of Hyuga and Uchiha blood."

"I guess so, basketball-face." She giggles, her head hanging on her shoulder. I might have given her too much.

"Even though you have both bloodlines running through you, byuakugan over powers the sharingan that runs through your veins." Her eyes were glazed over with curiosity for something that wasn't there. I could tell she was still listening, even only half way.

"yea.." She mummers, Her eyes trailing away to the sight of a midnight butterfly, gently flying on the breeze. The wind picked up and it was gone.

"Your just a mutt, is all. A bloodline mutt." I get and start to walk away. Then remember one more question.

"One more question, and tell me the truth. You do know Naruto Uzumaki, the boy were after, right? You not just know him but you…" I turn around to see the reaction that I was getting. She had laid back down on the grass, her sky blue hair covering up most of her face. Her breathing had reached a normal, peaceful pace. There's no fooling, she was knocked out cold. I look around. It had grown dark with the night and chilly. I may be so heartless as to give her a drugged tea but not as much to leave her to freeze. I pick her up, her body limp with unconsciousness. I head back toward the hideout thinking of other ways I could get my questions answered.

~~*~~

"Uhnn…." I open my eyes, but the light pouring in from my windows was too bright. My hand goes up toward my face, blocking the light. I had the worst headache. What had happened last night? I remembered up to Tobi giving me that drink…but than blank. Wait. Tobi. Drink. I throw the blanket away from my body and run out of my room and into the living room. The only ones there were Hidan and Itachi.

"Have any of you seen Tobi?" I ask, looking at both of them with pleading aching eyes.

"He just left for his mission. Why do you ask, Kurakay?" Itachi says, looking at me, with his cold yet protecting vision. I don't hesitate. I run out of the door and into the forest surrounding our hideout, looking for that idiotic, basket head of a cousin, deceiving…

"I saw him bring her in last night, do you think that something could be going on…?" Hidan finishes quietly, sipping a cup of tea.

"No, of course not. Kurakay knows more than anyone else in here who Tobi is." Itachi replies plainly.

" And that is…" Hidan says. There was a moment of silence. You could hear a song bird outside sing its song. Itachi gets up quietly and leaves a dumfounded Hidan to his morning tea.
