Hey everyone, sorry for the long update. Was a little disappointed with the amount of reviews I had gotten from my last chapter, and had an epiphany...That my last chapter wasn't my best work. BUT I PROMISE YOU! THIS CHAPTER IS A LOT BETTER! Now that I got that out of my system, I was wondering if there are any artists that read this (and by artists, I mean anyone who can draw anime)? I wanted to see what you think Shiloh looks like from the descriptions of and her wonderful Hell hound Akuma:
Shoulder length black hair with side swept bangs
Piercing blue eyes, pale skin, kind of on the short side, large black angel like wings, and if you have read my story so far, you know what she wears.
I have just recently made a Deviant Art account, "Lobas133." And if you happen to draw a picture of her, send me a message! I'd love to see how my readers picture Shiloh! I thought that this would shake things up a little, by having some fun!
Shout Outs:
I'd really like to thank Dust Bunnies Anonymous for giving me some pointers. I have been told that the story has been kind of difficult to tell when the point of view changes. So in this chapter, I have put the POV reminder to make things easier to follow. I appreciate your reviews SO MUCH! Thank You!
Always and Forever,

Chapter 4
Shiloh POV
Tobi's visible eye was a bright crimson. The Sharingan was truly a beautiful weapon, but how the hell does Tobi have it! Tobi's eye turned back to its original color, bouncing off of me with a boyish squeal. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to fall on you Shi-chan! Please don't hurt me!" He squealed. Hidan was still laughing from the prank he just pulled. I got myself back onto my feet, looking at Tobi cowering away. "There's no need to apologies Tobi, if it was anyone's fault, it would be mine." Hidan suddenly stopped laughing; his smile was replaced with a confused look. He was probably confused on why I wasn't blaming it on him. "I'm sorry I fell on you Tobi, I didn't mean to wake you up." "It's ok Shi-chan! Tobi forgives you, for Tobi is a GOOD boy!" He chirped.
Hidan stood there partially hunched over, mouth agape, with wide eyes. Tobi walked to his room to continue his nap, Making Hidan and I, the only 2 in the room...and he was still making that stupid face.
Hidan POV
"Are you trying to catch flies with your mouth open like that?" I snapped my attention to the girl with an innocent smile. "Shut the hell up bitch!" "You must be going blind like Itachi, because I clearly don't look anything like a dog." She said smiling happily. How the hell did this girl have such composure? "I'm going to retire to sleep now, good night Hidan." She smiled and waved before walking her room. "Bitch..." whispered to thyself. "I heard that." Came and echo from her down the hallway. How the fuck did she hear me?
Shiloh POV
There was a loud knock on the door, waking me up from my light slumber. I threw my feet over the side of the bed, put on my bear boots, and rose to answer my wake up call. I opened the door to see an already dressed Kisame and the bright light of the sun flooded my room. "The light...it burns!" I moaned sluggishly, which earned a toothy grin from Kisame. "Morning sleeping beauty." He chuckled. "Oh just shut up..." I moaned sarcastically, opening the door open fully and waved Kisame to come in. Kisame took a seat on my bed, while I plopped onto my beanbag chair.
"So what's with the morning call Kisame?" The question came out more sluggishly then it meant to be. Kisame gave me his signature smile, which gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. "You need to get ready for training this morning. Today we'll be working on Taijutsu, while using no chakra, so I'm going to have to seal it."
Kisame POV
Her half lidded eyes shot wide open at the word 'seal', and quickly turned her head to look at me. Within a half a second she sprinted out into the hallway. I knew she would over react about sealing everything.
Shiloh POV
Run run run run RUN! I'm tired of being sealed! I flew down the hallway when Kakuzu stood at the other side blocking my exit. SHIT! "Stop running Shiloh." Kakuzu cooed, in a deep voice. The way he said it gave me the chills. I quickly ran the other direction, when Kisame walked out of my room. They had me cornered like a game of cat and mouse. Why me? I was whipped to the ground by Kakuzu black threadlike tentacles. "THAT'S NOT FAIR KAKUZU!" I yelled. "Who said I was going to be fair?" He cooed again in that low voice, giving me another spine tingling chill. Kakuzu walked over to me and kneeled down placing me on my stomach giving Kisame full access to my back.
Lifting my forehead off the ground, I gave an angry, irritated look at Kakuzu. Even though he was wearing his mask, you could tell he had a smirk on his face. He was having fun toying with me, along with Kisame who soon straddled my lower back making me blush a bright red. I tried to bury my face in the floor with no prevail. "This is so humiliating." I mumbled. "It wouldn't have to be like this if you didn't run." Kisame chuckled with his signature smile. "Don't remind me!"
Kisame finished both seals and got off my back, standing up along with Kakuzu. I however remained on the floor. I lazily rolled onto my back, "I think a little piece of me just died on the inside." This earned a howling laugh from Kisame, and a simple chuckle from Kakuzu. Kakuzu lifted me up put me over his shoulder. "I'm not paralyzed, I can still walk." Kakuzu answered with an 'hmm' as he carried me to my room. He then took me off his shoulder and set me down in front of my door. "Kisame and I will be waiting for you in the forest training ground. I'll be sure that Tobi shows you where that is." He then turned around and walked down the hallway to allow me to get dressed.
I got dressed in a black workout bra and shorts; I bandaged up my legs just below the knee and put on my by ninja boots. Luckily Tobi gave me a piggy back ride all the way down the stairs, just walking down them would have been my training for the day. Tobi walked me outside, and I waved him a goodbye. I was really glad I chose light weight clothing; it must have been in the hundreds today. Kisame and Kakuzu were sitting under the shade of a large nearby tree. It wasn't until I walked under the trees cooling shade that I noticed both of them had their shirts off. I sweat dropped. Men are so lucky; they can just take their shirts off anytime they want! While women have to wear stupid undergarments, and can't just take their shirt off if it's a hundred degrees outside. Sigh...
Kisame POV
"You guys had to choose today to train didn't you?" Snapping my attention to where the voice came from. Shiloh walked into the tree's shade. I saw the cocky smile that played on her lips, and then looked her up and down. She wore light weight clothing that showed off A LOT of her pale skin. Her stomach was tight and well toned, as well as her arms and legs. The sight of her made me smile to know that she was very attractive. She sat on the ground and began to stretch, "So who am I fighting?" She looked between Kakuzu and me. "Neither Kisame nor I," Kakuzu stated crossing his arms.
Shiloh POV
"What? If I'm not going to spar with either of you, than whom will it be?" They simultaneously pointed behind me. I turned around to see Hidan flying at me with his Scythe at the ready. "WHAT THE FUCK! A LITTLE WARNING WOULD BE NICE!" Yelling at the Kisame and Kakuzu. "Hidan, you can't use your weapon or any chakra." Kisame stated as he put his arms behind his head as a cushion. "WHAT THE HELL! YOU DONT GIVE HIM A CHAKRA SEAL, BUT YOU GIVE ME ONE!" If I had screamed any louder, my lungs would have collapsed. Kisame gave an impish shrug and closed his eyes as if trying to take a nap. "FUCK YOU KISAME!" His eyes popped open and a wickedly devious smile appeared on his face. "That can be arranged my dear!" "YOU PERV!" Kisame let out a gut bursting howling laugh, which appeared to wake Kakuzu up from his nap, giving Kisame a confused look on what just happened.
"Kakuzu, tell me why exactly I have to fight him." Pointing an accusing finger at Hidan. "Stop complaining already and let's get this over with bitch!" Hidan wore a cocky smile on his face. "We already had this conversation last night Hidan! I clearly do not look anything like a female dog; seriously you're as blind as Itachi!" Kisame let out another howling laugh, "who's the bitch now Hidan?" I couldn't help but chuckle at how Kisame thought this was so funny. "So are we going to start this or what?" I spoke, still chuckling from before. Hidan looked utterly furious at me. He threw his scythe into a nearby tree. "Let's get this over with, shall we?" I smiled deviously. "Don't worry, this won't take long!"
We both charged each other head on, punching and blocking numerous attacks flying at each other. I got Hidan once in the solar plexus, but hurt my knuckles due to his 'GOD' like abs. It felt like I punched a marble wall. Yet another advantage man has over women. Hidan was actually pretty damn slow attacking me. He was a long distance fighter; he wasn't good in close combat like Kisame. I caught him off guard with a false punch, and did a Roundhouse kick making him fall to the ground. I quickly jumped into the air and did a flip to gain momentum in my next kick straight to the solar plexus. A blow like that would be fatal due to internal bleeding. I hit him as hard as possible; I was pleased at the sight of him coughing up blood. It would have been an instant death for him, but he's lucky he's a Jashinest, or he'd be dead.
Our bodies were slick with sweat from the constant heat and fighting. I panted from mild exhaustion; this wasn't so easy without chakra fueling my limbs with power. Hidan and I fought for at least a solid hour an hour or longer. I landed another hit to his solar plexus which made him cough up blood all over my face; I hit him in the same place again, making him cough up even more blood. The sight of the blood was fueling my power, the scent, taste and feel of it covered a good portion of my front body. I had taken this battle too far to Kakuzu's liking; he stepped in pulling me away from his partner.
There was a crazed animalistic part of me that wanted to rip open his rib cage and pull out his still beating heart. Kakuzu only pulled me closer to his chest in protection for his partner's sake. "SHILOH!" Kakuzu yelled. I snapped out of my animalistic blood lust, and stopped struggling to get out of Kakuzu's hold on me. Kisame walked over to Hidan who was now lying on the ground, still coughing up blood. Oh my god, what have I done?
Kakuzu POV
Shiloh stopped struggling and regained her self control. Her grip on my arm tightened then relaxed, as a sign to let her go. She walked out of my grasp and walked over to Kisame and Hidan. She kneeled down to Hidan and put her hands on his chest searching for any broken bones. Hidan winced as she lightly touched several areas. "You have 6 broken ribs, one of which punctured your lung, making you cough up blood." She whispered loud enough for us to hear. "Kisame, if you would please remove the chakra seal?"
He undid the seal, and Shiloh got to work. A soft green light formed around her hands, and placed them on the broken bones. Within 20 minutes, she had fully healed Hidan; she held her hand out to help him to his feet, but lest we forget, I have a moron of a partner. He slapped her hand out of the way, "I don't need any of your help!" Hidan barked. "I was only trying to help." She whispered under her breath. Hidan retrieved his scythe and made his way towards the building. The sun began to set in the west, making all the city lights begin to turn on. Shiloh stood their motionlessly. Almost the whole entire front of her was covered in blood.
Kisame walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Just ignore him, he's just angry that you beat him." He smiled. She shrugged his hand off her shoulder, and tried to walk forward but fell onto one knee. Kisame scooped her up in his arms bridal style, and began to walk towards the stairs, and turned back around. "Kakuzu, are you coming or not?" I snapped out of the daze I was in. I nodded and followed Kisame up the stair well, to be greeted by the wonderful smell of food.
Kisame POV
I walked Shiloh back to her room; she was completely drained of energy and chakra. She must have used it all healing Hidan. I opened the door the door to her room and set her down gently. She was still giving me the silent treatment for some reason. I ignored the questions that flowed into my mind and walked out of her room to eat dinner.
Shiloh POV
...What came over me back their? I walked into the bathroom to look at myself in the mirror. I was covered in blood...Hidan's blood. The bright red blood contrasted with my pale skin. I jumped into the shower and cleaned up, watching the red water flow down the drain. I got out, dried my hair. I put on a pair of black shorts and a red tank, slipping on my bear boots. I looked through the books on my shelf, and noticed there was an old story book about Konoha. I grabbed the book and walked out into the hall. The hall was lit by the moonlight, allowing me to see. I looked into the kitchen to see if anyone was still up, but it was pitch black. There was the light sound of T.V. static on in the living room. I walked in to find Tobi sleeping on the couch, I took the blanket that was neatly folded on the back of the couch, and laid it on him.
Tobi didn't really seem to fit in with a bunch of S ranked missing ninja. But who am I to complain? Tobi was the only one who seemed to brighten up our lives, except for Deidara's. I turned off the T.V. and smiled at the sleeping Tobi, and walked to the stairs to the top of the roof. It was a nice warm night with a light breeze. I sat on one of the large gargoyles heads that hung over the corner of the building, and opened the old book delicately, and began to read it.
I read the book for at least an hour or two. It was very interesting; it was about how Konoha was founded and built, and how Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha fought each other to be Hokage. "You're reading that old thing?" There was an unfamiliar deep voice coming from behind me. I turned around and found that Tobi had woken up. I slid down the gargoyles back, and looked around to see where that deep voice came from. But Tobi and I were alone, so I shrugged it off, and walked over to him and rubbed the back of my head nervously. "Hey Tobi, you ok?" I asked, curious if I had awoken him. "I'm fine thank you for asking." The voice was low and smooth as silk. I was utterly shocked that I took a step back, Tobi didn't sound like a child. "T-t-tobi, I've never heard you talk like that before." Shock was taking control of me, making me stutter like a moron. Tobi let out a dark chuckle that sent a noticeable shiver up my spine. I heard an 'hmph' of satisfaction come from behind the bright orange mask. As I stepped back he stepped forward, sending a wave of panic through me. "I have heard a great deal of your wings Shiloh, but I have never had the chance to actually see them." I backed up as far as I could go before bumping into the edge. That's right; Tobi has never seen my wings yet. "I can't unseal them right now, I-I don't have enough chakra." Even though I couldn't see his face, I could tell that there was a smirk behind his mask. "Then please, allow me." There was a satisfying tone in his voice that made me more comfortable around him.
He gently turned me around, and lightly ran a gloved finger over the seal, that caused me to suddenly shiver. He made a few quick hand signs and lightly placed his gloved hand on the seal, revealing the 2 large black angelic wings. I turned back around to see his head cocked to the side as if he were amused by the sight. His eye was now visibly red. He was looking at me with his Sharingan? He stepped forward and held out his hand to touch my wing. I flinching at first, but then moved it into his touch. He was very gentle touching it. He's the first person besides me who has touched them. "You are quiet an amazing kunoichi Shiloh." He cooed. I blushed at his flattering comment. He chuckled as I tried to hide it, but lifted my chin to meet gaze. His eye was incredibly beautiful, the sight of it glowing red in the dark was hypnotizing. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. He moved closer to whisper something. "I'd like to know more about your ability's Shiloh, but for now I must go...we have an unexpected visited." I didn't even realize he had already sealed my wings back into place. "We never had this little chat Shiloh; this is between you and me." "Yes sir." I nodded my head nervously. "Good girl." He whispered and patted my head before disappearing from a vortex that came from his eye.
My knee's suddenly became week and collapsed underneath me, making me fall to the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the old book had fallen; I delicately picked it up, and flipped through the pages to a picture of a man, standing next to Hashirama Senju. The man had long spiky black hair, and was a Sharingan user. Could it really be him? "Shiloh?" I heard the familiar voice of Kisame. I got up and walked over to him. "What are you doing up so late?" "I can't sleep, I have too many things on my mind at the moment, plus I wanted to get some fresh air." Giving my best innocent smile. He picked me up and put me over his shoulder. I let out a long sigh, "you didn't even fall for that just a little bit?" The question came out as a lazy sigh. "Nope, that stuff doesn't work on me." He chuckled. We reached the door and set me down on my bed, and began to walk away. He stopped before reaching the door, "By the way, you fight like a 3 year old." He chuckled. "FUCK YOU KISAME!" He stopped laughing, making an awkward silence, before slamming the door shut, catching and pinning my hands above my head as he straddled my hips.
"Well now if you want to that badly, I'd be happy to take you right here, right now." He whispered huskily into my ear. My entire body began to tremble, earning a satisfying chuckle from Kisame. He let go of my hands and rolled off to sit on the edge of the bed, and let out a long tired sigh. Instead of remembering what he had just done, I erased all memory of it, remembering that he is a very kind man. I sat up and thought about what to do.
Kisame POV
From what I just did, I think I made my point loud and clear to Shiloh that she should watch her language. Rolling off her to sit on the side of her bed, resting my elbows on my knees, I let out a sigh. I felt Shiloh shift, Thinking that she was trying to avoid me from the sudden contact. But was proved wrong when I felt something cold from behind me, wrap around my waist. I looked down to see pale white arms, then felt something against my back. Shiloh was hugging him. The contact of her cold skin against his bare torso and back made a sudden shiver go up his spine.
Shiloh POV
Kisame's skin was surprisingly soft to the touch, not to mention he was warm. I felt him shiver against my touch, and released him from the hug, thinking it was a sign to let him go. "I'm sorry Kisame, I jus," he turned around and hugged me to his bare chest. "There's no reason to be sorry Shiloh, you're the first person who really isn't afraid of me, thank." I was still utterly shocked by his reaction. Who would have thought that the big bad ass blue shark man, that was part of the Akatsuki...actually had a soft side? I accepted the hug, and hugged him back, putting my head against his chest, listening to his slow and steady heart beat.
Thump Thump,
Thump Thump,
Thump Thump'
Kisame POV
"Kisame?" I looked down to see Shiloh's piercing blue eyes. "I was wondering, about tomorrow. Could you teach me Kenjutsu?" I couldn't help but smile from her question. "I have already mastered the scythe, but I would like to learn how to master the sword as well. So, I thought I should ask you, sense you were one of the seven swordsman of the Mist." I looked away, then back to her; she was giving me the irresistible large puppy eyes. "Alright." It came out as a long sigh. "YAY!" She nuzzled her head into my chest. "But you can't complain on how hard the training is, or get mad if I seal anything." She gave an irritated look. She sighed, "fine." With that said, she nuzzled her head back into my chest, and fell asleep.
