Lily perches herself in the kitchen nuzzling the recipe book reading all the different cakes she could make until the pervert himself walks in and scowls before striding over and standing with his arms crossed.
"hey, bitch face?" the albino questions getting ready to block a book being thrown at him but it never comes surprising him slightly.
"what is it pervert?" Lily questions not taking her eyes away from the book in hand while the albino scowls then looks to the ground, he murmurs something but it can't be understood by her at all. "you'll have to speak up" she barely murmurs flicking a page until she bounds up to pull the food from the oven.
"I'm…s…sorry?" this makes her almost drop the food in hand and spin on her heel to stare at him with perplexing shock.
"say that again" her eyes seeming to shift as she gives an unsure stare that she was perhaps hearing things, Hidan grumbles and steps a little closer.
"I said, I was fucking sorry" he growls making her smirk then put the food down on a wheeling tray before turning to stare back at him.
"I'm unsure if 'sorry' on its own is enough for me to forgive you…" her eyes look him up and down with icy intent until it seems ever lighter when her mind shifts once again to think about something.
"what the fuck would you prefer I fucking did, bitch face" he snaps defiantly making her sigh and rub her chin in thought, an evil smirk upturning on her face as she stares at him in a demanding way.
"tell me who 'Celena' is…I heard you muttering about her once. Quite a few times actually" her lavender eyes look him up and down again as he blinks and gulps it back slightly and actually blushes, it would have surprised her more if this hadn't already happened before on several occasions.
"a Jashinist I know…she's who I fucking want to talk to you about. Bitch face" he glares while her fingers begin to fiddle with her black hair, apparently unsure if she really would want to help him at all.
"about what?" her fine eyebrow tucks its self up into a neat crease as he looks away again, the blush turning a fine wine red this time. "oh I see, you like her" she nods and then smiles slightly at this topic agenda. "if you like her then you should try talking to someone else about it, Sasha perhaps. I have nothing to do with 'relationships'.." Hidan grabs Lily before she can leave and holds her still, scowling.
"I can't trust the assholes in this place, just tell me what the hell I should talk to her about…should I fucking ask her out or something?" Lily's eyebrow seems to twitch, she felt a pang of annoyance in his interests in 'Celena' but this just made her confused, she was Celena so why would she be annoyed?.
"tell me what you know?" she murmurs getting away from the hold only to be dragged by her wrist violently down the corridor and into her room so he can talk about it without intrusion.
"well…I know she is quick with comebacks…she's bloody brilliant at rituals…" Hidan reminisces the sweet pain she inflicted without even trying too hard back when they first met. "I don't know what she looks like though, she's always hiding behind a fucking mask. Fucking pisses me off" he glares then starts to think a little further into the features before glancing at the woman sitting at her small floor desk. "she's the only fucking female matriarch…" Lily rubs her forehead and groans slightly.
"personality…what she likes and dislikes…do you know anything about that at all?" Hidan stares into space and crumples his forehead in thought.
"fucking reading…and talking to her self…" the lavender eyed woman sighs and rubs her cheek in thought about the predicament, what would she actually say if he asked her out? That freaked her out slightly, did she even have feelings for him, at all?
Fair enough they ended up holding hands and sitting close to each other a lot but Lily hadn't been in a relationship, ever. They scared her because of her own past, men couldn't be trusted; or at least the men she knew couldn't be, the masochist in question had been standing and waiting for an answer for some time now, his small amount of patience starting to run its self thin until he began tapping his foot.
"best you ask her what she's into, use it to figure out some topics that you could actually talk about" Hidan mutters something under his breath that vaguely sounded like 'useless bitch' before leaving the room, the raven haired woman starts to work on Jashin again. [not even a thank you…how displeasing] he murmurs while the puppetries gets up to go eat with Skew following her quickly. At the table she quietly scribbles in her sketch book while her puppet points out different words for the ritual so she didn't lose a limb or find her self stuck inside, nodding she starts to eat quickly so she can get to work.
"you'll choke if you-" Lily places her fist to her lips as her puppet thumps her back. "told you, chew your food chou-chou" his voice calm but stern as he watches her start eating quickly again, shifting her hair he mumbles to the sight of headphones. "watcha' listenin' to" he enquires pulling one out to hum to. "hm…not bad but your voice needs to be more confident" the raven haired girl stops eating to stare at him with a sweat drop."you actually sing, un?" the blonde questions as the puppet grins and pats the shy woman.
"she sings, plays guitar and the piano…she needs more confidence however" he smirks smuggly as she scowls at him with a pout.
"stop it…your embarrassing me Skew-kun" he shrugs at pats her much like a small child again.
"I prefer it when you sing…its awesome" he laughs as she rolls her eyes. "what? Your good at singing Voltaire and Joshua Radin songs!" he chimes making her blush brighter as she turns her head to eat the last of the food.
~~No this ain't no fib, I'd rather be a splatter on the Devil's bib. 'Cause on my knees repentant ain't my style. I'm goin' to Hell, in a hand basket. Oh please don't pray for me.~~ he mumbles jabbing her in the side until she grunts much like the weasel when his eating is disturbed.
"No I don't need to be saved, of the devil I ain't afraid. There ain't nothin he can do that ain't already been done to me" he replies casually making the puppet grin and open his mouth again.
~~Please Miss, for me, Sis, won't you see if you see, Sis. It's got black hair and it's kickin' about in the square~~ he chimes making her groan inwardly.
"I'm really not totally sure but I think that it might have rolled into the sewer"
~~The Devil tips his hat to me, I do it all because I'm evil and I do it all for free. Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need, I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark and I promise on my damned soul~~ he sings as the table starts to get a little quieter to watch the outplay.
"To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub has never seen a soldier quite like me. Not only does his job, but does it happily" she replies glancing up at him with a bored expression.
~~It gets so lonely being evil, what I'd do to see a smile, even for a little while and no one loves you when you're evil~~ his smile getting bigger to the fact that no matter what he sings she will reply to him.
"I'm lying through my teeth! Your tears are all the company I need" her voice getting a little lighter as he puppet smiles sweetly and is about to sing another bit but she stops him. "okay, shut up now" he mumbles as he smiles.
~~I hope that you'll throw up your hands and sing it and tell all the haters that they should just shut up and smile, yeah~~ he smirks into the sing song voice as she twitches her eyebrow.
"who wants ice-cream…" he mumbles trying to ignore him and starts to scrape the leftovers to one side of the plate.
~~But all we need is some ice cream and a hug~~ she groans louder getting up in an attempt to escape him but he keeps singing to anything she says in reference, on coming back he is still singing while pointing to her back.
~~I remember when you were falling and I was there just holding on to you and I remember all those scars I wear that you carved in me~~ he sings loudly while she turns to look at him before rolling her eyes and sitting back down with her strawberry ice cream, he pouts sitting down next to her as she eats quietly.
~~Wake me, c'mon and wake me up now. I want to cut off my strings and break, loose of your control of me, cut your strings and be free with me. All y'all people, listen, it's on, Krutch marauders we on a mission, Hittin' ya with the ill ammunition, At war with the puppet master~~ Lily turns and looks at him for one and blinks curiously to the song.
~~I'll bring it on if I had to, rip it 'n' leave the whole scene shattered, like, chik, blaow!, what ya think of me now? Ya wanna make it outta sight?, somebody wanna get live tonight? We can hit that, flip that, settle the score, 'n' ain't nobody rock a crowd like this before~~ he smiles as she laughs in amusement.
"It's all around me, and I can't wish this away, you so amaze me, you took my monster away" the puppet smirks like a Cheshire cat at this.
"about time you learnt some good music" he shrugs as her eyes squint in thought, the ice-cream now gone as she opens her mouth.
~~I've been as far as you can go, I've learned a lot and now I know, you're never gonna get me on the floor again, I'm prepared to take you to the end, never gonna play your games again bring your whole team and all your friends, but I hope you're listenin'~~ Lily's eyes squint as he gasps at the fast mouth, he finds this a game. "I'm sick of letting you control me and all the places I go, I'm never givin' in to you again, take another look at me and tell me what you see, all of these kats tryin' to get under my skin but they can't step over me. You try to control me but ya can't hold me, you don't own me, if you ever step to me" he retorts boldly only to find her laugh sarcastically towards him while using chakra to move his arm.
~~I know it's not me, take a look inside me, I'm sick of these ways, so sick of these games, couldn't see it 'til I multiplied you, call me a freak, but I don't want to hear the words you speak. I'm takin' control, just letting you know, that I won't get sucked in by you~~ her voice a match to the actual singer using a chakra to change her voice and tone.
They had both forgotten about the people around them watching contently, food and entertainment, priceless. Lily yawns slightly then gives a sleepy stare at the puppet who just shrugs at something before joining her to go to bed, the group pouting at the loss of something to watch while they eat before going back to shouting at each other or eating noisily.
When morning came everyone had come into the living to find wood chips everywhere and chakra spewing in every direction, a vortex spinning in the centre that Skew in front of with his arms rose. Puppets to either side helping keep the portal open as things come flying out and land neatly in a pile before Lily is spat out as well. Landing on her bum with a heavy thud she gives a dazed wave for them to stop the portal, with a slow plug hole effect it swirls and fades away leaving the room a state.
"are you okay Lily-koi? You look a bit…green" the puppet enquires helping her to her shaky feet while nodding then grabbing her mouth to run frantically for the kitchen sink, coming back a few minutes later a little more refreshed but still a placid green.
"what did you do in here…" Stacy questions watching the young woman and the puppets clearing up the mess before disposing of the frame by snapping it to pieces in the turtles mouth, the raven nin yawns to herself.
"went through the portal to collect a couple things" she shrugs as the puppets group up to carry her things away swiftly leaving her to sweep up the wooden scraps.
"like what? Those chests looked really…weird" the woman speaks point to the final puppets scurrying away with a treasure chest, Lily blinks at the question.
"puppet's obviously…that and I spent the entire night cleaning it out…I think I need a shower" she groans running a finger down her normally pale skin and glancing at the suite that comes off onto it, she gives a strange expression while throwing the bin bag to a corner for disposal later.
"aw, I wanted to come with you" Stacy pouts with her arms crossed. "you never let me come in there with you…" her pout growing larger while the Suna nin sighs and points it out matter-of-factually.
"its too unstable trying to control two universes and a portal without screwing with the space time continuum And making sure a second body doesn't get shredded or left behind on the way back out" Stacy gives a helpless expression where as Tobi claps his hands.
"you can control time?" his voice more exceeded than usual but she shakes her head.
"no, but if my alternative world got into this one we would all be killed in the most horrible way imaginable" this makes some shudder but Stacy seems to press the matter.
"how? Would it unleash demons? Make us all grow Really old?" her eyes wide with misunderstood awe.
"no…we would all either expand, explode, implode, suffocate or slowly tear in half…basically the world as we know it would spiral into total chaos and destroy everything in the universe because my portal would develop into a black hole and destroy everything as it grows larger and larger, soon enough it would suck its self in when there is nothing more to destroy" everyone's eyes wide while Tobi shudders at the thought of that actually happening. "can I get a drink?" the seamstress enquires watching Stacy nod and run off to get her a drink, Kakuzu stepping closer to look down on Lily.
"would that actually happen?" the miser enquires watching her give him a soft smile and a wink that makes him blush slightly.
"nah, I just say it so she stops asking to go with me" she shrugs running a finger through her dusty hair and scowling at the dirt, it looked like he hadn't had a bath in years.
"what what would happen?" the miser enquires again as she shrugs in thought.
"nothing really, just the base would probably be destroyed from all the junk that would spew out of the portal at us. Think of it as a hamsters food-sac, squeeze it and the food is spat back out.
Like I could control something that could destroy everything as we know it, the closest I have to world domination and destruction is a wooden puppet army equivalent to that of the Golden Army from Hell-Boy" she smiles taking the juice that Stacy had just brought her, drinking it swiftly the water had washed part of the dust on her face away as her annoying friend draws a smiley face on her cheek with amusement.
"you really should get a bath…" Kisame points out as she nods with a 'I know' kind of expression while handing back the glass and skipping off to wash, after having a nice long 3 hour bath she comes out with the steam spewing everywhere.
"ah I feel anew" she hums walking past Itachi who had been waiting to go the bathroom for half an hour until his face was blue from trying to keep it in, glaring his eyes widen to watch Tobi skip into the room and lock it behind him. His eyes becoming white orbs of disbelief anger and his mouth hangs in shock, fist slamming on the while the raven haired woman casually strolls into the living room to watch T.V beside Kakuzu who had been watching the financial news only a moment before.
"found anything interesting?" she enquires as the tanned male shrugs and glances at his notes that are hurriedly scribbled with percentages of money, the albino had bounced onto the over side of her so she sat in-between both zombies, both glaring for their own reasons as usual while Lily flicks the channels.
Leaving it on an animal channel she starts to draw different things to her own amusement, something popping into her head moments later. "hey Kakuzu-sama, look at this" she chirps holding up a random note.
[They say that money talks but mine just waves goodbye] "cool huh?" she wasn't sure but when he took it there might have actually been a smile behind the black clothed mask, Hidan leans over to glance at it before grunting. [
I lost my temper but it came back] this note is handed to the zealot who smirks ever so slightly in thought. Soon enough she had made several ones at random to give to people. Tobi had bounded in and curiously takes the held out bit of paper.
[constant supervision needed] the young nin bounces about giggling while Pein wanders in to see what the commotion is, his orange eyebrow rising when he is handed a sheet of white paper as well.
[Join the army visit, exotic place's, meet interesting people, then kill them] a few seconds later she had stuck a note above the T.V that some pass by and stop to stare at with a smirk.
[Remote control - Female: a device for changing from one T.V channel to another. Male: a device for scanning through all 375 channels every 5 minutes] Stacy curiously coming over looking for her own note in which is given after a few minutes of thinking.
[I love my; crazy, goofy, stupid, gorgeous, weird, lame, socially challenged. Friends!] an amused laugh is given as she stares over the shark-nin's shoulder to see what he had been given.
[always remember you're unique just like everyone else] the only one who had not been given one yet was the weasel who she had been staring at for sometime now with an unsure expression before something is though of right off the spot. The Uchiha grunts ever so slightly while taking the paper to stare at, lips covered behind his collar but the light in his eyes gives the smug smile away.
[deny everything, admit nothing, create counter accusations] Leaning back into the seat Lily stares at the T.V again while watching 'Puppets Christmas carol' and before long she is singing along to 'scrooge'.
~~Oh, Scroogey loves his money cause he thinks it gives him power, if he became a flavour you can bet he would be sour~~ she chimes with a childish smile and a giggle.
~~There goes Mr. Skin flint, there goes Mr. Greed. The undisputed master of the underhanded deed, There goes Mr. Outrage, there goes Mr. Sneer. He has no time for friends or fun, his anger makes that clear. Don't ask him for a favour cause his nastiness increases~~ she chimes while Stacy rolls her eyes at the thought of why they have been forced to watch such a childish movie.
~~There goes Mr. Heartless, there goes Mr. Cruel. He never gives, he only takes, he lets this hunger rule. If bein' mean's a way of life, you practice and rehearse~~ her voice chimes quieter as she starts staring with wide eyes at Kakuzu and pointing from the screen to him then back and then speaks bluntly as the song ends.
~~Every day, in every way, Scrooge is getting worse~~ "Kakuzu!" her voice voicing out the movie as everything goes silent, the miser had spun to stare down at her, Lily's bright violet eyes sparkling up at him as she gives a happy expression.
Hidan had snorted into fits of laughter that makes the chair shudder while everyone else laughs as well, nodding in agreement about the link him and Scrooge have. Kakuzu scowls at her as the smile fades into a small 'sorry' arms wrapped around him as she gives the miser a cuddle, grumbling he stares at the screen trying to keep the grudge until mistakenly looking down at her, Lily's eyes had widened tenfold and were now watery in a pleading way as he growls and then sighs.
A small sign of forgiveness is given as he watches her face turn devious and sly, he had been tricked by the chibi face once again.
