Chapter Three: What Happened?

I woke up in my house, on my bed.

That's strange, how did I get here? I scanned my aquamarine colored room and sat up. I looked out my window and I noticed the plant on my desk was missing. What the?

Looking around I saw wet footprints on the floor. I also noticed my computer was on; a word document was open on the monitor.

I got up and looked at the screen. There was a note.

Hey Kit!

I found you passed out in the shark tank, I worried but I know you, you would be fine right? Well I hope so. I guess you're ok since I found no fatal or bloody wounds on you, and that you were actually outside of the tank.

I drove you home and I was still dripping wet from getting in the tank with you so sorry about the mess. I tried to clean it but I ended up making it worse. Real sorry!

I found the key under the door. I'll tell Jason you went home a little bit before he arrived ok? I know it's hard to work while you're passed out; I also did your job and fed the fish. Everything's good for the moment but just don't go home early tonight ok? I need you there are only so many of us night people!

One more thing too, have you seen the shark? Because when I went up to look in the tank to see if he actually had hurt you I found nothing. Also, that humongous owl and the hyena are gone. In fact, all ten of the animals we got the other night are gone.

So I hope you wake up soon!

Your friend,

Max

I blinked my eyes. They were a bit thick from me sleeping with my contacts in so I went to the bathroom and cleaned them out.

After that was done my stomach growled so I went to my kitchen to find something to eat, I opened my fridge and pulled out some bread to make toast. I thought of Sairento and called for him.

"Hey little weasel you want breakfast? Or are you going to starve?"

"I wouldn't mind breakfast."

I jumped about a foot into the air and ended up scattering the bread I had in the bag.

I turned around and saw a man with jet black hair, an amused smile that was so slight I thought it wasn't there, and black eyes with a permanent glare. "What? How did you get in my house?"

He merely looked at me, "Sairento sound familiar?" he left the room and I watched his back as he left. I grabbed the butcher knife and the phone just in case.

I stuck my head around the door frame and out into the living room and dropped the knife I had been holding.

Ten heads whipped around to stare at the sound of the clatter. The color drained from my face. Each person was only wearing a towel and to say the least, it was quite awkward. But that wasn't all that was weird; it was the fact that there were people in my house that I've never met before.

I booked it to the door but I gasped and fell backwards as someone beat me to it. It was Sairento and he was blocking the door. How did he get there so fast if I thought I saw him go the other way?

"Hey why the fuck you running away from us, thought you fucking liked the scratch I gave you."

I looked over my shoulder to see a smirking man who looked young but had silver hair.

I stared, "Ok I don't know who you people are or how you got into my apartment but please don't kill me! I didn't do anything wrong I- just what do you want?" I felt a tear leak down the side of my face.

"Oh look Hidan, your scaring her. Now shut up and stop being so loud, that's what got us here in the first place."

It was the same voice I thought I had heard last night. I heard footsteps as someone walked closer to me. I jumped away as a face suddenly appeared next to mine.

"Wha!"

"Don't tell me you're scared of me now just because I'm walking and talking."

I saw a blue face. I saw blue hair, I saw three gill-like markings under each white eye. I saw blue skin and a row of sharp teeth. "Same?"

"Actually it's Kisame but you weren't too far off." he chuckled. I sat there frozen for a moment staring at the people in front of me.

Then, I began to scream.

Instantly I was shushed when I saw a pair of glowing red eyes and that was the last thing I saw before I blacked out.

When I woke again my head was throbbing slightly and I was on my couch. I heard whispered yet heated arguments.

"Did you really have to use your sharingans?"

"Yes, she was screaming."

"So what yeah, we could have just put a hand over her mouth hmm."

"Ew but not yours right sempai? Because that would be gross right, it would be liked you kissed pretty girl-chan! Kisame-sempai I think Deidara-sempai wants to kiss pretty girl-chan."

"What? No un!"

"This is completely irrelevant to the question."

"Just what was the question Kisame?"

"How do we wake her up?"

I heard various 'ohs' and I sat up slightly only to fall over again. I was beginning to adopt a migraine.

"I think she's up yeah!"

"Way to state the obvious Deidara."

I opened my eyes fully and my eyes went wide. I opened my mouth when hands covered them.

"No don't scream un!" My eyes grew wider as something began licking and biting at my lip. I tried to move his hands away but he must've thought I would scream.

I did begin to scream but I realized the mistake of doing so when a tongue was down my throat.

"Mhh! Mahaam! Maaa!"

"Deidara-sempai's kissing the pretty girl-chan!" I heard a voice giggle and as soon as that was spoken the hands were removed.

"Oh jeez un"

I wiped off the spit on my face and looked around. I scrambled out of the group and tried to make a break for the door when Sairento stopped me once again.

"Do not try to escape again."

I took a step back to try and get away from him and I ran into someone else. Hands were place on my shoulder and a voice said, "Well if you don't mind getting us some clothes that would be great."

I turned slightly and blushed when I remembered everyone in the room wasn't wearing clothing.

And nine out of the ten were guys.

I squeaked and closed my eyes.

"Not real. This is just a weird dream. I'm still sleeping in the tank with my shark…"

"Your shark? what the fuck are you blabbering on about? Go get some damn clothes bitch, it's freezing in here."

I was offended that he keeps swearing and that he had called me a bitch numerous times, but he looked very muscular, I wasn't sure what I could do against him.

"Don't mind Hidan, he's just being an ass un."

"Yeah well at least I don't look like a fucking girl."

I watched as the blonde haired boy, the one who had pressed his hands to my face when I woke up scream at the one called Hidan.

I would've taken the opportunity to run had those blue hands not been holding me firmly in place still. Another hand lightly touched my shoulder. "I have to deal with these idiots everyday; it will take some getting used to. Would you have an outfit I could barrow? I'll go shopping for the rest with you if that is alright."

I turned my head to face the only girl in the entire group of men. I swallowed and nodded slowly. She removed her hand and took the blues ones off of me as well.

I gave the girl one of my band shirts and a pair of pants. When we left I wanted to head for hills but something stopped me from doing so.

That thing was a wall of paper.

"If you run I will be forced to hurt you. So please do not try and run."

"W-why are you all here? What is it that you want with me?"

"Pain wants something out of you but I'm not entirely sure what. So just play along and you should be fine."

We got back from shopping within the hour. I didn't want to go back into my house, afraid of what I'd find and I was damn right for not wanting to go in.

When we walking in I saw blood splattered across my living room, a body was on the floor and a head was on my coffee table, screaming loudly…

"Hey fucker! Sew my head back on the bitch is back with our clothes! Oi! Hey what are you-!"

I fainted again…

-3-

When I woke up this time there were no voices and I was in my bed again. I glanced at the time and saw that it was one fourteen. Since it was Wednesday and there was only one dolphin show my shift start was six thirty, so I had plenty of time.

In my room the house seemed dead silent as it normally should be. I peaked out from my bedroom door and saw nothing but emptiness in my living room. I breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a dream.

However, when I went to go change my outfit, I noticed one of my band shirts was gone.

It was the same one I lent to that blue-haired girl.

I groaned. I exited my room and went to the kitchen, I saw that everything was back in place so I'm beginning to think I had just misplaced my shirt and my dream was trying to remind me.

I left my kitchen only to… walk right back into it?

Wait what? I thought I had just gotten out of it. I turned around, confused, and walked out the door. I was still in my kitchen. When I heard the voice I jumped and fell on my butt.

"Itachi, take the genjutsu off she's fine."

"She will run."

"No it's fine. I'll keep her here."

There was a shimmer in the air and suddenly the figures I thought had gone were standing outside my kitchen door.

I held my hands to my face and curled into a ball. I had no idea what these people would do to me or where they would take me now that they're fully clothed, but I didn't want to find out.

"P-please…" was all I could squeeze out of my dry throat.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and through tear-filled eyes I was able to see that the hand was blue.

"Your name is Kit right? Well don't worry, I didn't hurt you in that tank so I won't hurt you now, deal?"

I looked up into a kind smiling face with sharp teeth and shark-like features. No way could this really be real.

I scooted away from the strange man but yelped when he suddenly picked me up and held me bridal style.

"Calm down kid," he put me on my feet and I gripped the counter to prevent myself from collapsing to the ground.

I took a moment to study his face and only one name came to mind, "S-same?"

The guy in front of me chuckled, "Yeah we already went over this," he ruffled my hair, "Name's Kisame. It's nice to finally meet you."

I said nothing but nearly fell over again when someone screamed, "Can we get this fucking show on the fucking road! I'm getting pretty damn board."

It was the head I had seen when I walked into my house a little while ago. It was now fully attached to his body and I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head. I was about to fall and possibly faint again when a hand caught me.

"Hey now, don't you go fainting again I don't think Hidan can wait another hour without trying to kill you so just try to stay awake ok?"

I was about to open my mouth when someone else said, "Does she even speak yeah? All I've heard her say is Same. Is that the only thing she can say yeah?"

I had a thing about perfection, and the way he speaks was driving me insane. "Y-you have a speech impediment? Or do you do that on purpose?"

"She speaks un!"

"As long as we've known him he's always talked like that. It can be… rather annoying" I saw a red-headed man standing further back; his face was dead and lifeless, almost as if he weren't real.

"In case you were wondering bitch we were those animals you found a few days ago. Itachi's jutsu broke about a week after it was placed. Though we didn't fucking know we would get trapped in that fucking place."

I looked at the one with silver hair, "Could you please stop swearing?"

He stared at me with an angry face, "No fucking way bitch! Don't upset me or you'll be my next sacrifice!"

I felt my eyes go wide, s-sacrifice? Did he say sacrifice? I couldn't help myself as I hid behind the tall blue man.

"Don't use fish-sticks as a shield! Come on fight me yourself you little-" suddenly he was pushed forward onto the ground by another man who had half of his face covered and green piercing eyes with… red sclera?

"Shut up Hidan. We don't need this girl passing out again. Pain wants her alive so shut up."

I heard mumbled groans and when he stood back up he was silent for once.

While the people began to chat about various things and I couldn't think of anything to say I went into the living room and I sat down on the couch. I moved away from the slight blood stain I saw there though. I wish that hadn't been real. "W-whose blood is that…"

"Hidan's," Same said while rolling his eyes, "I guess I should introduce you to everyone?"

I didn't want to meet anyone but I feel that I didn't really have a choice. He first took me to the one with black hair. "This is Itachi. He said you called him Sairento?"

"I did. But I said Itachi when I was looking for a name! you didn't give any indication."

"Hn," was all he said.

Same then took me to a long haired man with blonde hair. The one who had slobbered all over my face with his… hands…

"Hello yeah, sorry about earlier, I thought you were going to scream yeah?"

I flinched at his speech. He then took me to someone I hadn't quite met yet but I have heard of often, "This is Pain. Or in others words, the leader." his face was overdosed with piercings

"Hello," was all he said, or got to say, before Same took me over to the girl I had went shopping with.

"This is Konan."

I put my hand out, "Kit."

She simply gave a nod of her head and shook my hand, "Nice to meet you properly."

"Kakuzu," instantly I shied away and tried to hide behind Same again. He only laughed and pushed me forward. "its fine he won't hurt you unless he's instructed to. Then that's Hidan."

I struggled even harder to hide or at least get away. "What the fuck's wrong with her?" I felt something bubble up inside of me.

I didn't like swears. "Would you stop swearing!" it was so loud that everyone had turned head to watch my screaming fit, "this is my house with my rules! So if you don't quite swearing I will kick you out!" Instantly I slapped a hand over my mouth. "Oh! I'm sorry no I uh…"

When a hand punched me in the face and I was flung across the room, did I realize what a deep hole I had dug myself into. "Are you trying to tell me what the fuck to do bitch? I'll do what I fucking want and you can't say shit!"

"Hidan!" I heard a voice scream but when he kicked me in the gut I nearly blacked out from the pain alone. I was roughly picked up by the collar of my shirt, which was choking me.

"Shut it fuckers! I'm teaching this bitch a lesson!" I was punched again but it seemed like it was held back, when I was able to open my eyes enough I saw black strings and blue hands holding his arms back.

"Hidan stop!"

"Let me go you fucking assholes! I'm going to beat this deadweight to nothing!"

Something warm splattered across my face and I was vaguely aware of something falling and hitting the ground. I didn't get to think about it too much though before I passed out from the numbing pain.
