Chaptire 4: The Doubtful Beast

Katie couldn't stomach sitting in front of this…this…utterly repulsive film! She was completely terrified of horror movies. They always killed all of the characters in the end, which always made her think that she was going to die after an hour or so, when she was alone in a dark room. Sitting next to Kakuzu was just didn't make it any worse. Oh, fuck it. She was just plain miserable. What do regular people do when they're on a regular date, especially if they're watching a scary movie? They hold hands. But this was no regular date. It was a God-given miracle from the heavens up above. If only Kakuzu wasn't such a fuck, then it'd be an immaculate date. But alas, Katie's luck had just about left the building for the day. Kakuzu was more than likely waiting for her to run out of the theater screaming. Katie most certainly would not do that….

Yet.

The irony about the whole thing was that Kakuzu was about ready to pee his pants from laughing, while Katie was about ready to do just the opposite; lose bladder control from being frightened.

'Kakuzu may not be on board the masochist train, but it's a sure fuck that he's conducting the sadism train.' Katie thought to herself. The good thing about her being scared was that she kept her thoughts to herself. Most of the time.

"How do you like the movie?" Kakuzu managed to ask in between his outbursts of laughter.

"I FUCKING WANNA GET OUTTA HERE!" she said. Not really. What she really said was,

"I…I l-love it! Ha ha ha…the…violence is the b-best…p-part…ha ha…" she said nervously.

'Damn it! I CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER SECOND OF THIS FUCKING MOVIE! How do I keep still…? Kakuzu hates it when someone bites their nails because it wastes time, and time is money…the only other solution would be…'

"No fucking way." She said inaudibly.

'I refuse to stoop to such a low level of etiquette-HOLY SHIT THAT GUY JUST GOT SLICED UP THE MIDDLE?!' she thought frantically as he reflexes took over. She grabbed Kakuzu's hand. She braced herself for a smack on the arm, maybe even a slap across the face, but what she got was…completely the opposite. She opened her eyes. He was laughing.

"K…Kakuzu…?" Katie said feebly.

"What?!" he said angrily, his laughing stopping abruptly.

"Er…um…my…hand…" she managed to say.

"Yeah, what about it?" he answered impatiently. He looked down at his hands, and some-what gasped under his breath. He quickly slapped her hand away from his, and faced the screen.

'He reminds me of my little bratty cousin when I don't push him on the swings…' Katie thought as she got up to get a soda. Who knew that screaming your head off could make you thirsty? Kakuzu saw Katie get out of her seat, and blocked the row with his legs.

"And where do you think you're going, young lady? Oh, excuse me, I'm not politically correct; where are you going, young man?" Kakuzu asked.

"You'd like it if I was a man…" Katie said under her breath.

"Huh? What'd you say, punk?" he said, raising his voice a little.

"I'm going to get a drink."

"No you're not. Just sit down and swallow your spit. That doesn't cost money."

"What if I get dehydrated?"

"That's your fault, not mine."

"Whatever. I'm getting a soda." Katie said monotonously as she inched towards the end of the row.

"No, you're not!" Kakuzu said under his breath.

If someone pulled you on their lap to stop you from wasting your money on a soda, would you consider that deed selfish? Katie did. Kakuzu could careless, obviously. He had pulled her on top on him in an effort to stop her from buying a soda. Needless to say, it sure as hell worked.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" Katie whispered, trying to control the volume of her voice.

"Stopping you from buying a soda. There ain't an ice cubes' chance in hell that I'm going to let you buy a soda. You're going to sit here."

"Ain't ain't a word, dumbass."

"You just used it. Twice. So you're twice the dumbass that I supposedly am."

"Nuh uh."

"Shut the hell up."

"Not until you let me outta this seat." Katie said.

Kakuzu pulled her close so that their lips were only a few inches apart.

"Now," he breathed into her ear. "Are you staying here, or getting a soda?"

Katie shivered.

"...Here…"

"What's that?"

"Ge…Getting out of here to get…a soda…" she said.

Someone in the audience screamed, and Katie jumped, and wrapped her arms around Kakuzu's torso.

"Ah…um…er..." she muttered incoherently.

Kakuzu smiled to himself. He brushed his hand gently against Katie's face.

"You know, you're a little heavy." He said as he twirled her hair.

"Katie?" Kakuzu asked.

'Hmph.' He thought disappointedly.

'She fainted.'

"Oh well. Somehow I feel…comforta- what the fuck?! Did I almost say what I think I was going to say?!" he yelled.

Katie clenched Kakuzu's jacket.

"Heh. She's too…cute…." He said the last word under his breath as he kissed her head.

"Hey, Sleeping Ugly. Open your eyes." Kakuzu grumbled angrily. Katie opened her eyes slowly.

"Nngh…? What happened?" she asked quietly.

"Well, you were mauled, raped, and…I guess that was it. Oh yeah, they took a lock of your hair and said that they were going to mount it in their Katie shrine."

"WHAT?! WHO?!" she screeched. Kakuzu abstained from laughing.

"Me."

"WHAT?!"

"I'M ONLY KIDDING, IDIOT! NOW GET OFFA ME!" Kakuzu yelled.

"Aw, and I was having so much fun, too." She said.

Kakuzu walked out of the aisle and out the doors, with Katie at his side.

"I need to buy socks." She said bluntly.

"Fine. We'll go." Kakuzu said impatiently.

Katie followed Kakuzu obediently to desired store.

"Well?" Kakuzu asked angrily as they stood outside of the store.

"Well, what? I'm going in." she said as she walked in. Kakuzu followed her.

"Welcome to Sock 'R Us!" said the cashier.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious…" Kakuzu said as he followed Katie into an aisle. Kakuzu bumped into Katie.

"Why hell did you stop walking?" he asked impatiently. Katie glared at him.

"What?!" he said, trying to keep his voice down.

"Only women are allowed in this section."

"What?"

"Because, Einstein, everyone knows that once you take your sock off, your foot is…no longer clothed…" she half-mumbled-half-said.

"What the fuck are you getting at?!" he demanded.

"It means that your foot is naked!" she yelled. Kakuzu sighed heavily.

"The same concepts that apply to humans don't apply to feet."

"GOD DAMN IT, THEY DO SO!" she yelled. Katie felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw a cashier.

"Ma'am…" she began.

"How the hell do you get thrown out of a fucking sock store?!" Kakuzu raved as they made their way to the food court.

"I don't know. The lady said that I was being too loud or what I said wasn't appropriate because there were little kids around…something along the lines of that." Katie mumbled.

"Well, it's getting dark out." Kakuzu said.

"So?" Katie asked.

"If you're out too late, your parents might get suspicious, and they might ask questions…"

"About what?"

"If you were out late…with a guy…"

"What?"

"They won't think you're…PURE anymore…"

"Pure?"

"A VIRGIN."

"Kakuzu, you're disgusting. Utterly repulsive." Katie said.

"Well you're slow. Repulsive is better than slow."

"Nuh uh."

"Yeah, it is."

Suddenly, there was an abrupt growl.

"AIEEEE!" Katie screeched.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, IT'S YOUR FUCKING STOMACH. God, you're such a moron." Kakuzu said angrily.

"Hmm…I am a little hungry…" Katie began.

"A little hungry?! Your stomach could've been mistaken as the Shot Heard Around the World!" Kakuzu rebuked.

"Well, fine. Since you're on the topic of old world American history, where shall we go to eat, Meriwether?" Katie asked sarcastically.

"To the horse and carriage. I'm not eating mall food. We're going to a restaurant, and you're paying, obviously." He said as he walked towards the door. Katie stood still, frozen in place by Kakuzu's words.

'First, the movies…now, a restaurant? Oh, God…is this really turning into…' she thought.

"A DATE?!" she nearly yelled.

"Ha ha ha…no, that's stupid. Why would he go on a date with me?"

"You're right. Now move along, Little Turtle." Kakuzu said as he pushed her towards the door.

"No way could this be a date." Katie said coldly and confidently. But somewhere in the pit of her stomach, she thought differently.

Well, that's it! D: Sorry this chapter took uber long. I think that this one was a lot longer than the other three. What do you guys think? X3 I hope you like it! I didn't think that this chapter was as funny as the others. Tell me what you guys think!! Thanks for reading! Have a Merry Christmas!
