Jhonni's POV
As Jhonni and Tobi walked down the hallway, Tobi looked over at Jhonni and saw she was lost in deep thought. So he picked up the nearest thing he could find (which happened to be a bundle of kunai knives) and shouted, " Jhonni! look!" as he juggled them. Jhonni looked up and giggled, "wow! your a natural Tobi-san! but be careful." She nagged. Tobi began to step back as he struggled to maintain control of the flipping and twirling kunai. "You worry to much! Tobi good juggler!" Tobi smiled as he continued until he bumped into a door. At that exact moment he lost control of the knives which all took a nose dive downwards and pierced his body in numerous places.
Jhonni ran to Tobi in panic as he fell to the ground. She fell to her knees beside him and rested his head on her lap. she gently ran her fingers through his hair as she inspected his wounds urgently. Two had slashed through his right wrist, one in his leg, one in his neck, and the other two in his left shoulder. The one lodged in his neck was the most critical at the moment, so jhonni ripped a piece of her cloak off and slowly pulled the kunai from his neck. She was so engrossed in her work as the blood spewed that she didnt even realize the door Tobi bumped into was now open, and Sasori was standing at the door watching her. Jhonnis hands moved automatically as she applied pressure to the wound. "Tobi is losing a lot of blood and fast! at this rate... at this rate..!" She stopped herself. She already knew the answer, at this rate Tobi would die. No bandage could fix a wound that fatal, Jhonni could no longer hold back the tears that skittered down her face and onto Tobi's neck. "Its all my fault... you were trying to help me... and now i can't even save you..." The tears streamed down her face as Tobi's breathing became ragged and uneven. Sasori leaned on the door frame and watched, extremely intrigued by what was going on.
" SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HELP! PLEASE!" Jhonni cried desperately. once again she was helpless and unable to save the ones she cared about. it was just like that time... Her cries echoed through the hideout and all the members immediately came running to the scene. Hidan and Kakuzu were the first to arrive and Kakuzu knelt beside Jhonni as she held Tobi's hand. Then the rest of the members and Pein pushed through them all and gaped at the scene before him. His eyes slowly moved from wound, to wound, to Jhonni, to her and Tobi's joint hands and he struggled to keep his composure.
"what... happened..." he growled so menacingly that everyone flinched. Jhonni quickly explained the situation to him and ended it by saying," And the worst wound is this one on his neck!"
"im sorry but... what wounds are you referring to, Jhonni?" Sasori interrupted smirking. Everyone was in such chaos that no one noticed the steam rising from Tobi's wounds as they healed and closed on their own. Jhonni looked down at the now non-existing wounds and whispered,"H-How did you-"
"I didn't... YOU did." Sasori claimed grinning madly.
"what are you talking about Sasori?" Konan asked?
"its simple... Jhonnis tears saved Tobi, Konan." Sasori declared plainly. Jhonni wiped the tears from her face and looked down at them as they glittered on the back of her hand. They looked like ordinary tears, but yet from Sasori's story they seemed to have saved Tobi's life.
Tobi groaned and stirred on jhonnis lap. " hurururuuuuuu... Tobi has a heada-"
"TOBI!" Jhonni shrieked as she hugged him.
"Oh! so now were some kind of fruity gang? what is this a Disney movie? how can tears bring a person back to life?!" Hidan interrupted.
"Not just any tears... her tears. Good work Tobi! I thought you were only joking when you told me Jhonni had healing powers."
"healing powers?" Anthony spoke suddenly. Then all the attention was on her. "yes, healing powers Anthony and not just any healing powers, she has healing abilities that far exceed the abilities of one of the Three Great Sanin, Lady Tsunadae herself... or at least they could with the right training. If you would allow me to teach her, Leader-Sama." Sasori glanced at Pein expectantly. Pein sighed, " How long will the training be?"
" Three weeks with me for beginner procedures. Three weeks with Kakazu for advanced, surgical procedures, and two weeks with Zetsu for medicine making and medicinal herb recognition."
"Who said i wanted to train her? Thats me losing money!"
"Kaukuzu!"
"Fine..."
"Wait! theres still one thing i dont get!" Deidara chimed in, " How can you tell she was a great healer just by her tears healing people, Dana?"
"Yeah... how DID you know... and what did you mean by 'GOOD. WORK. TOBI'?!"Jhonni raged as she glared murderously at Tobi. The whole group fell silent as her rage reverberated around the room, changing the atmosphere. Tobi broke the silence by standing up and nervously backing away from Jhonni. "Well you see uh... Jay, i was uh.."
"You were..."
"Heh heh! funny story! I um... purposefully hurt myself and brought you here so that i could show Sasori what a great healer you were... see? funny!"
"So... you purposefully hurt yourself and had me worried... I CRIED FOR YOU! YOU ASSHOLE!" Jhonni stood up and advanced towards him. "And you looked beautiful!" Tobi replied quickly as he shrank back into a corner, but a few seconds later he realized what he said as the group fell silent once more. Pein's eyes lit with murder, Jhonni blushed intensely, and everyone elses jaw dropped to the floor. "I knew it!" Thought Anthony.
"what... do you mean by that?" Jhonni asked Suspiciously as she narrowed her eyes.
"nothing! i meant nothing at all! you weren't beautiful at all! in fact! you were ugl- WAIT! I MEAN-"
"OH! SO NOW IM UGLY?!"
"No! your Gorgeous!"
"Make up your mind! am i ugly or gorgeous?!"
"uh... UH... TOBI GOOD BOY!" Tobi panicked and threw a smoke bomb down then disappeared. "TOBI DEAD BOY! I'LL DESTROY YOU!" Jhonni bellowed as she ran down the hall after him and disappeared around the corner. Itachi sighed," boy! she sure is a live wire." He grinned. "what are you smiling at eh Itachi?" Hidan nudged him. "You like Jhonni too?" The grin on Itachi's face left without a trace as he looked at Hidan. "Of course i don't like Jhonni, but i do find her entertaining." He replied coolly, then he turned and walked away to find Jhonni. Zetsu looked at Anthony," I'm going to go to make sure Jhonni doesn't turn Tobi into 'little good boy' pieces... you comin'?" He asked, but Anthony shook her head and replied, " You go ahead... I gotta go talk to Sasori..."
"Okay."
As the members of the Akatsuki dispersed, Anthony walked up to Sasori, Pein, Kakuzu, and Konan who were all talking among themselves. Konan hushed everyone as Anthony got closer and they all turned towards her. "I'm going to get straight to the point," Anthony began," Sasori, you never answered Deidara's question. How did you know Jhonni had powerful healing abilities?" Konan glared impatientely and waved Anthony away. "This topic isn't for newbies."
"Newbies have the right to know just as anyone else. Besides, i believe i was talking to Sasori." Anthony retorted calmly. Konan opened her mouth to reply but closed it once again and just looked at Anthony. Sasori stepped up to Anthony and chimed in,"Well to be blunt your friend th-"
"She not... my friend.."
"Uh.. well Jhonni has an ability known as Pheonix Tears, where her tears have healing properties. People with that ability are notorious for obtaining substantial methods and knowledge of healing. Their tears are even said the be able to save peoples lives, cure diseases, etcetera. However, im just interested in her healing abilities themselves and not her tears. The clan needs a "legit' healer and wer cant afford to pass up an opportunity like th-"
"ONE question!" Kakuzu interrupted. Everyone turned to look at him.
"So much for my lecture..." Sasori thought.
"thank god! i thought he'd NEVER stop talking!" Konan mumbled to herself.
"I wonder what the teams gonna have for dinner..." Pein contemplated. Kakuzu cleared his throat as if he were going to say something important. "So if her tears can heal disease and stuff, why don't we bottle and sell them?" He smirked evilly. "We could make a booming profit from them! eh? EH?" Kakuzu pried. Anthony frowned and turned to Pein, completely ignoring Kakuzu. "What about our mission?"
"Well i took that into consideration and i had a problem with it too. However, Sasori is right. We need a REAL healer for when Kakazu and Sasori are absent and with Jhonni's potential we c-" Pein stooped in mid sentence as loud banging and crashing rang throughout the hideout. Then you heard loud voices yelling:
"Tobi! get back here so i can stab you!"
"Tobi fast boy! please don't kill me!"
"Jhonni! put the spatula do- NO! HEY! watch where you swing that shit!"
"NOT THE CHEESE GRATER, UN!"
"AHAHAHAHAHA! wheres my fucking camera?! FUCK!"
~more banging~
"Cant' a shark take a n- HOLY CRAP! who let Jhonni get the cheese grater?!"
"Zetsu did!"
"hey! i was busy getting the spatula away from her! whats your excuse, Good boy?!"
"TOBI! GET THE FUCK OVER HERE! RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"Jhonni! Put the couch down! That's Italian leather!"
"you guys are useless... SHARINGAN!"
~eerie silence~
Anthony frowned," The fuck just happened?!"
"Apparently somewhat let Jhonni get the cheese grater.." Pein joked distractedly. He gave one glance to Konan and they both started to walk away. "Wait! Leader-sama! Is Jhonnis training approved?" Sasori reminded him. "Yes, We'll just have to find another team to take the assingment." Pein called as him and Konan rounded the corner and disappeared. "I wonder where they went..." Anthony said to herself.
"To fuck." Hidan jeered as he grabbed her from behind.
"Hidan..." Kakuzu warned.
"What? everyone knows! you can hear them around three in the m-"
"Okay! this is too much info!" Anthony declared as she walked off.
"The truth will set you free, Ant!" Hidan called after her.
Anthonys POV:
Anthony sketched off a inal draft of her drawing. She was fully concentrated on the work that was front of her as she picked up a paint brush and dipped it into the red paint. Her eyes soon consumed with the crimson color that was on her brush. She slowly placed the brush on her painting as she hummed one of her favorite songs. Zetsu walked in and stared at her painting. "Wow…that's beautiful Ant." he said walking over to her.
"Thanks, is there something you need?" she questioned. He looked up at her "Yea, well I gotta show you something so close your eyes."
"um…ok." she closed her eyes while Zetsu places a rectangle box in front of her. "ok open them!" he commanded, backing up to the door. She opened the box and found a whole new set of drawing utensils and paints. She smiled, " THANK YOU so much zetsu!"
He laughed "no problem." as he walked into the hallway. She ran after him "And by the way… you don't have to buy me things to get my attention." she smiled and walked back into the room.
Konan walked into Anthony's room smiling. "Hey, baby doll how are you" she said getting comfortable in her room. "um…hi? What do u want ?"
"Well since now you've seen how much of a bitch Jhonni is lets get back at her!" She sneered proudly. Anthony stared at her ."I would but I have a to share a room with her." Konan laughed. "Ant come on my boyfriend is the leader I can get you another room in an hour WITH a hot tub."
Anthony thought about betraying the only person that understood where they came from and how to get past it. "Ok, ill do it! Time and place."
Konan smiled "We can going to destroy her relationship just like she trying to do with me and Pain. All you have to do is distract tobi and I mean full on Romeo & Juliet. This will burn her inside and I just want to see the look on her face when it all goes to hell."
Anthony laughes "That's a fun little mission so lets start tonight shall we." Konan nodded and left the room.
Anthony walked to Tobi's room wearing shorts and low cut top. When she arrived she knocked on the door and it swung open. "Hey Anthony! How are you? What are you doing? Stop asking questions and just come in!" Tobi joked opening the door for her. "What the hell does jay see in this guy?" She shook of the thought and sat on his bed.
"So hows it going?" Anthony said crossing her legs seductively. "Good, I was just getting ready for Jhonni to come over so we can hang out." he answered sitting next to her. "Sounds like fun. Don't mind if I crash the party?" she said putting her hand on his legs.
He looked at her hand and started blushing. "wow..um.. well..tobi is a good boy." Anthony laughed, "well im a bad girl" she pushed him on the bed and got on top of him leaning down to whisper in his ear, "Tobi now I want you to listen to me ok?" He raised an eyebrow curiously then nodded. "Konan is out for Jay and she wants you guys broken up, so she sent me to do that. I need you to act like im seducing you ok? She's outside listening but when Jay walks in I'll explain everything to her."
"But Tobi doesn't go out with-"
"Do you understand Tobi?!"
"Tobi understands" he agreed. "Oh no don't do that…ohhhh!" he nodded at Anthony for approval.
Anthony ,trying her best not to laugh, kept her poker face on.
Jhonni opened the door and walked in immediately talking, "So the movie choices are between the notebook and the j-" she stopped once she noticed what was going on and stared at the position they were in.
Anthony jumped off of Tobi. "Hey! what's up? this is NOT what I looks like! it's a funny story well you s-" Jhonni punched Anthony in the face hard. "YOU FUCKING BITCH" She screamed.
Anthony held her face as it stung at first but then collected herself . "ok, ok I deserve that but if you would just listen…" Jhonni swung another punch but Anthony blocked it. "If you didn't want to be friends FINE but now you come after Tobi? When you already have Hidan? What more could you want? " She charged at her but missed when Anthony moved out the way.
"If you don't want to listen fine but this is goin be one hell of a fight " Anthony said taking out her sword. Jhonni growled at her and charged again pulling out a kunai. " I wouldn't want it any other way." Jhonni snarled.
They fought for about 20 minutes. Slashing, ducking, dodging and attacking each other (as Tobi screamed like a girl in the background). Jhonni and Anthony fell to the ground completely drained and exhausted from the fight. Tobi's room was trashed, from the broken dresser and mirror to the ripped posters hanging on his wall advertising cookies." If you would listen…" Anthony began as she managed to catch her breath,"I wasn't doing anything with him! I was protecting your relationship with tobi by being there." Anthony said continually pausing for air.
"first of all * takes a deep breathe* Me and Tobi are not together! how many times do I have to explain that?! Second, How is that even possible, you were on top of him in those pieces of threads that you call shorts. Thanks for now letting up on the cleavage." Jhonni remarked.
"Konan told me to "distract" Tobi so you to would break up…I told him that and we had to act like we were just to convince konan."
"So you were helping me?"
"yeah…as your best friend I had too" Anthony said trying to stand.
"yea…" Jhonni agreed standing up.
"can we stop this now.." Anthony asked.
"kay... man I'm tired and hungry you want to order some Chinese?"
"sure…don't order the chicken on mine."
"um... okay."
They both stood up and Jhonni reached out her arms to Anthony for a hug. Anthony wasn't much of the hugging type but when best friends make up, its usual routine to hug so she did. Outside of the door Zetsu was waiting... listening... he took the best friend necklace that Anthony has thrown onto the ground hours before and placed it by the entrance of the door before disappearing into the walls once more. Tobi looked around his room in despair, it was completely wrecked! Jhonni saw that Tobi was down and jumped up. "Uh Tobi? why don't you have some Chinese food with us and then me and Anthony will help fix up your room?" Jhonni offered. Anthony looked at Jhonni and said," what? you started the fight! why should I have t-" but Jhonni pinched her arm and replied," WERE going to clean because WE fought in this room! come on Tobi." As the Three of them went to exit the room Anthony noticed the necklace by the door. She peeked her head out and looked left and right to see if anyone was in the hallway but there was no one there. She shrugged absent mindedly then picked the necklace up and put it on then turned to Jhonni. Jhonni glanced down at the necklace and smiled wistfully then they all walked to Jhonni and Anthonys room getting ready to order some CHINESE FOOD!
