Me: *cough* okay so, I had some time today to do another chapter and I'm going to start on the next one right after I put this one up.
Kisame: You're on a roll this week Dena.
Me: I KNOW RIGHT? :D
Kisame: *sweatdrop* There you go, always ruining stuff with your exuberance as always.
Me: T.T Sorry Kisa-koi. Let me just do the disclaimer and dedications and I won't mess with you no more today.
Kisame: e.e Double negative makes a positive.
Me: :D You're finally catching onto my tricks Kisa-koi! See I KNEW sharks had brains and were capable of learning.
Kisame: *sweatdrop* Seen how she's not doing it I'll go ahead and dedicate this to LittleKirara and Zancora123 for her. Also, she doesn't own Naruto nor me she just like's the idea of me.
Me: *glomps* Got that right sweet cheeks x]
Okay, so perhaps my timing had been off.1
Kaito and I officially entered the country of Australia 18 hours and 40 minutes after the events of that morning.
It was late by the time we got there, real late, like the 1:40 in the morning kind of late, which was actually about 2:402 in the afternoon here in Sydney, Australia, so I suppose it wasn't exactly that late. I carried Kaito off of the plane with my head bowed, praying to whatever the heaven's above held that everyone was obsessed with worshipping that they weren't at the airport. Not yet, I don't think I could handle this all just yet. I gave a side glance to Hidan and muttered, "So, what now? I'm here. What am I supposed to do after I introduce these two? You don't honestly believe I have the cash to get back home myself, I hope." That remark earned a sneer from him, "Who the fuck do you think I am? Some common fucking retard? What's with you always trying to be some sort of fucking smart ass."
I hissed threateningly back at him, "Language Hidan."
"Like I give a fuck about what your kid fucking hears God dam-"
"ENOUGH! Both of you!" Snarled Kakuzu, shocking us both. "I do not expect you to find a place yourself Madison, no, Kisame is much more kinder than that."
I hissed again, "I don't want his money."
I watched his gaze grow taunt with frustration and anger, "You are not in a position to be picky about who tends to you Madison, you are nothing more but a mere damsel in distress. You have received your fair share of Hidan's and my kindness and that is not in our nature. You will receive no more of it! You will take what you get Madison, are we clear? Now stop referencing yourself to a spoiled princess, I have neither the time nor patience for it. So, both of you stop dim-witting yourself around this airport and walk. You have embarrassed yourselves and me enough." Both Hidan and I stared at Kakuzu as if he just grew a third freaking head, and he never even had a second one to begin with so that's saying something. He prodded us along after a few more moments of us staring at him with annoyance clearly written on his face. Finally, we obliged and walked out of the airport, where I followed Hidan to a generously sized hummer-limo. I climbed in and buckled up, safety first right?3 Then, I buckled Kaito to the seat next to me and wrapped an arm around him so that he was leaning flush against the left side my body, he roused only long enough for me to buckle him and situate him on my side, then promptly fell back asleep afterwards. It took another 30 minutes to reach the hotel that we were staying at, well the Akatsuki was staying at, as for me, well Kaito and I were going to handle our business and then go. No reason to stay somewhere longer than necessary right? I mean, Kisame doesn't care any more right? Of course not, I mean, if he did he would have came back right? He would have stayed and kept fighting. He would have done something. Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself, and someday I hope that I'll believe that. Someday. Finally, I gathered my nerve to get out of the limo already, in front of me sat a large hotel, best known as the Quay West Suites.4 I followed them both into this large, awe-inspiring building, where we took an elevator up to one of the Executive Suites. Once the elevator reached the desired floor, I watched as Hidan strode in and made an immediate b-line to his room, where he shut the door and I do not doubt that, as soon as his privacy was ensured, he started praying to Jashin. Kakuzu, however, took a different approach. He grabbed up the briefcase that sat on top of the table and stalked to a separate room. I'm sure that the briefcase he retrieved was filled to the brim with his number one obsession, money. I looked around the Suite, unsure of what to do or how to do it. I didn't have to stand there like a lost puppy for long because I heard a sharp intake of breath far off in the distance. I turned my attention in a 90 degree angle and found a familiar woman who appeared in her early twenties, bearing numerous piercings, and bright blue hair staring back at me. She ran up and grasped me in a tight, bone-cracking hug. "Madison. You're alive. I thought all this time that, that retched man you call a step-father had killed you and was merely hiding your death away from the world, claiming you were ill and no longer able to take leave from your bed. I choked and slithered my way out of her grasp, holding a now, very awake and very agitated little boy. Her eyes fell down to him immediately as an orange-haired man bearing, surprisingly more, piercings than the woman. "Try not to kill our guest so soon Konan, she still has much to explain and for once, the story sounds interesting. Well, remotely that is." I cut a glare in Pein's direction and hissed, "Like hell I'm explaining it again, if it's a story you want so bad go see Hidan or Kakuzu, they know the story good and fluent now."
"I am uninterested in hearing it from them, besides, they'll make me pay a price for making them talk." He replied monotonously.
"And I won't?" I questioned him harshly.
"Fair enough, let's go Konan, we shall hear the story another time it seems." I saw a smirk start to twist his face cruelfully. "Besides, I'm sure Kisame would rather hear the story when he enters in the following thirty seconds." My eyes bugged out, I should have known when he did that smirkey thing he does that he had something up his sleeve. I watched desperately as Konan and Pein took their company elsewhere, dragging Tobi along with them who had randomly jumped out from behind one of the houseplants and looked like he was going to tackle me and probably shout in my face as if I was daft and deaf that, 'Tobi missed the pretty girl'. I looked over, capturing one last glimpse of Sasori's back as he disappeared from view completely. I jumped slightly, hearing the elevator ping. I tensed unnecessarily, I say unnecessarily because the person on the other side of the door had only been Itachi. He watched me, disinterest twinkling in his eyes, however, it did change when he caught sight of Kaito. A blond boy5 a tad bit shorter than him and definitely more childish than him bounded over to Kaito, squealing uke-ishly. "IIIEEEE! LOOK ITA-KUN! IT'S A LITTLE BOY! KAWAIIIIII!" I sweat dropped at his girlish squeals but froze and looked at Itachi with a confused and a little bit weirded out glance, thinking 'Ita-kun?' I briefly thought, 'so does this, like, mean Itachi's gay?6' that would explain a lot, you think I'm kidding but I'm thoroughly serious. I mean, we're talking about one of the hottest and sexiest guys around plus he's perfect, there's no way he was straight, I should have known. I watched on as poor Kaito was drug this way and pulled that way due to the amusements and the fangirlish squeals of this blond guy. Who was he anyway? Oddly enough, Kaito seemed to like it, he acted as if he couldn't get enough of the adoration of this young man. I walked over to Itachi and muttered a, "Uhhh, who's that?" I watched Itachi's reaction closely and monitored his cheeks insinuating a slight flush, a miniscule upturn of the lips, a relaxation of the muscles, and a dilation of the pupils. Yeah, those are natural reactions of a man in love, a woman too. Itachi Uchiha was GAY! That was straight with me, I'm all for the GSA7 and shiz-nit.8 He shrugged it off, and had you not been paying careful attention, you would have missed such small reactions. But I had learned long ago, that some people just require that careful observation. He muttered a, "I was unaware of your pregnancy. I should have guessed though, but I was very unaware."
I averted my gaze elsewhere and murmured an unintelligible, "Hidan threatened me. I had to come." Itachi watched me cautiously and he turned his attention to the window that overlooked the harbor, "Kisame's plane landed very late last night so he has been in the room sleeping. You have come at an inopportune time Madison. Kisame is unwell, Madison, maybe I am mistaken. Perhaps you could have not came at a better time. Although, perhaps some of your news, or luggage you bear, could have done well not to come at all." My eyes hardened. Of course, although he presents the symptoms of a man in love, he is still the cold-hearted, antisocial bastard I've always and will always remember him as. Asshole.
I sat down on the couch sighing as Sasori re-entered the room. "You should clean up and rest Madison. The day is young yet and your time is still set on another country. Freshen yourself up, you are going to have the longest day of us all." He pointed to a room and walked off mentioning something about raiding Konan's closet for some clothes for me but having no clue where to gather clothes for the child.
I did as I was told and 'freshened' up. It felt as if I had only just drifted off into my own realm of sleep and dreams before I was being awakened. The sky was painted a series of colors and hues that was unheard of in my color wheel, and the man that bent before me shaking me was really pricking my nerves. "What?" I hissed, getting an amused response of, "Hope you had enough sleep, Kisame's awake and I thought I'd give you a little heads up that he's going to be up here in five minutes."
I shook my head, I so didn't want to deal with this right now. I'd rather bury my head back in the covers for the rest of my God-given life and not deal with this ever. However, fate wouldn't have that as a suddenly impatient Zetsu twitched and I found myself on the floor, biting back a cursing scream that would make Hitler9 himself roll in his grave from the sheer insult of it all. I finally gathered myself and walked to the living room where I found Kaito curled up on the couch where had been watching an episode of 'Spongebob Squarepants' before sleep had claimed his small form. I walked over to him picking up a small blanket off the back of a chair on the way. I sat down beside him and wrapped him up in it. He curled up close to me and whispered a soft, 'Momma,' before he fell back into whatever dream he was dreaming of. I stroked his head gently, murmuring words of love and promise to him. While sharing my moment with him, I was only numbly aware of everyone's moving around. I glanced over long enough to see everyone pile up in the elevator and leave. I was slightly confused by it, but before I could utter a syllable, the door closed and they were gone from sight. My face shadowed over with anger and frustration. They were no doubt leaving me here so that when Kisame got here I had to fend for myself. I stood, suddenly feeling an overwhelming urge that I could no longer sit still. So, I opted to walk around the room, doing some tedious tidying up. Most of the room was clean partly in due to the excellent maid service, but I found small tasks, and when I couldn't find a small task in a certain area, I made one.
Ping.
I jumped, frightened and in shock. The sound momentarily disoriented me.
I glanced over.
2310 flashed the number above the elevator.
I caught sight of the doors opening. Everything started moving in slow-motion.
A man, roughly 6'4" in height. Perhaps weighing a whopping 180 pounds, but for his size, it was a good weight. He bore dark blue hair and soulless black eyes.
My throat went dry, suddenly. I was at a loss for words.
There was that small moment when I felt as if I could no longer breathe.
We stood there, staring at each other.
"Kisame..."
One word, one breathless word was all it took and my heart shattered into pieces once again.
The pain suddenly felt new, fresh, and very, very painful.
I think I'm going to die.
1Okay so I went through and did the research myself and oops, it takes 18 hours to get to Australia not 6 XD oh well.
2I based the time difference from where I live in the U.S. XD and from where I am, Sydney is 13 hours ahead of us, sssooo I just tweaked that piece a bit :P
3So I'm this big freak on buckling up in cars and no texting while driving. I'm a total safety nut when it comes to cars so you will see me referencing a lot of my life in some of my stories XD I can't help it, I just believe in the no texting while driving law and the seatbelt law :] One of my biggest fears is getting into a car accident.
4I decided to start making parts of this story a bit more realistic, I had mostly made the towns and such fake and from my imagination but considering I was using Australia I decided that I should probably do a little research. Quay West Suites is actually a five star hotel found in Sydney, Australia and I droll and dream over staying in one of their Executive Suites :]
5This 'mysterious' blond boy has yet to be deemed important enough to have a name in my opinion, so I haven't named him yet and instead referenced him to a SasuNaru kinda thing XD only with Itachi and the kid is most definitely NOT Naruto. Nope, he's reserved for the stoically emo Sasuke-kun :]
6I will honestly say, Itachi being gay would explain A LOT to me, considering unlike most men he shows no outward interest in women. I mean, Orochimaru shows more outward interest to women than Itachi does. Plus, he acts, looks and merely SEEMS to perfect to be straight. Us women should know by now that if he looks perfect and acts perfect; Well he's probably gay then :P
7I referenced the GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) in here because I have a number of gay friends and am an active member of this alliance :] I support the fact that I don't believe it is anybody's business who marries who. Plus, I understand that marriage is supposed to be a 'holy' union and many religions don't accept that but these days to have any governmental benefits with your partner you have to be married. So either get rid of the benefits so that they extend to the gays of our nation or allow them to get married x] just my opinion.
8Shiz-nit is actually a word I use quite often. I only curse when I am extremely mad or frustrated, so I use 'slang' words for cussing on normal circumstances XD
9For the Hitler comment, I didn't quite know who else to use. This is a major insult I was insinuating on throwing out and I just didn't feel comparing the severity of it with Mother Theresa would quite do, considering she's a nun and what not so just saying stupid would make her do a blackflip in molten lava.
10I actually don't know how many floors are in the Quay West Suites because I grew lazy and didn't think that providing the wrong amount of floors in a hotel would be a life or death kind of thing x] plus I don't think any of us have the money to even walk into the lobby of the place so what does it matter?
Sorry for cutting this chapter short but the story's wrapping up and I've found I want to get this done so I can focus my attention on this new story I'm writing concerning Resident Evil and my darling Albert Wesker. XD
Please Review~! I'll love you forever 3
