I know a chapter so soon? Yeah, I just felt like it...
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you reviews!
Tobi is Tobi
A large clearing that was at least a few hundred yards all around was surrounded by small and large trees that had healthy, bright green, soft yellow, light orange colored leaves. The leaves swung playfully in the light gentle wind as the sun's rays shown through and over the trees, brightening the large clearing and glistening off of the dew that held onto the grass and flowers. The meadow-like area itself was filled with various florae from Carnation (love of a woman or mother) to Anemones (fading hope) to Asters (patience) and Gladiolus' (strength of character, faithfulness and honor). The flowers danced freely, lightly, and attractively under the rare clouds.
Near the middle of the clearing was a small pond, was empty of fish, but was filled with an array of grey and black stones. Tadpoles could be seen jumping or swimming around with their larger frog and toad counterparts. The lazy tan colored cattails were surrounding the outer ring of the pond, whistling and bowing softly when the wind brushed against them.
To the side of the pond was a being basking in the sun languidly against a tall tree's trunk on one of the highest branches, the leaves giving some shade from the sun. The person could easily fit in with his surroundings, but also managing to look somewhat human.
He, for the figure was obviously male, was glancing around the clearing with a look of contempt, his eyes shining a bright cat-like yellow. His face and the rest of his body spilt equally down the middle in two different colors. The right side of his body was a pale white, while the left side was as dark a black as coal and strangely enough his hair was a dark, almost black, green. But the oddest thing about him was the venus fly-trap sitting, attached, on his shoulders. He wore the signature Akatsuki's black cloak with the white and red clouds, which was slightly open to allow room for his fly-trap, showing that he was bare chested underneath the cloak.
The wind ruffled his hair comfortingly, its invisible arms wrapping around him with its nonjudgmental gentle, almost motherly embrace, and he closed his eyes softly, his mind going blank. Zetsu missed his mother sometimes.
He sighed lightly, before a malicious grin appeared across his face, most would back away from him as it appeared terrifying, it showed his razor sharp, inhuman teeth. If we missed our mother, his other darker colored side mocked. Then why did we eat her?
The grin immediately disappeared with the change of emotion, from amusement to rage. I did not eat her! You did! He very nearly roared at his other self. How dare he say he had eaten his own mother by his choice? He had loved her…
The darker side chuckled, the laughter echoing through his mind, mocking him. Love, what love? You know you wanted to eat her. We remember the taste of her flesh and the sweet scent of her blood. The darker side laughed aloud at his lighter colored side, when he felt the light horror come from him. Really, he should be used to it by now.
The lighter side of Zetsu growled aloud, not concerned at all that someone would hear him, he had put resilient genjutsu and traps of varies sizes and difficulty all around his area after all. The laughter continued, until Zetsu's lighter side threatened with a lethal, poisonous voice, "I will never let you have control of this body again if you continue."
"Liar," The darker of the two hissed, the amusement completely gone from his voice, "You need me too much!"
The lighter side snorted, as he jumped, landing easily and silently onto the ground below the tree. "I can fight and live without you. I have before, what makes you think I cannot survive without you?" A feeling of dread filled both sides of Zetsu immediately, neither really wanting to give up the other.
"You don't even want to really get rid of me anyway, do not lie to us."
It was silent for long moments neither the dark nor white Zetsu knowing that a few hours had passed in the almost suffocating silence, until they felt most of their genjutsu's disable. A chill passed over Zetsu's skin, and he swallowed thickly, before letting a grin pass over his face to hide his discomfort at his masters' unannounced arrival. By the feel of his chakra that he wasn't bothering to hide, the controlling man, playing the idiot of Akatsuki was angry.
When his master appeared in front of him, he barely stopped himself from cowering, Let me take over, and he did. He let his darker side take over his body as his master, playing Tobi, beat at his body, taking his anger out on Zetsu's body. It's not as if Zetsu could actually fight back, Tobi would just kill him. He would rather get beaten to where he could not even stand, than die. His darker side normally took over when this happened, which was quite often, so the lighter side would not feel as much of the pain as when he were in control. The darker side was stronger than the lighter side, and less likely to attack back when he was being beaten half to death.
When Tobi pulled back the kunai that Zetsu hadn't even noticed he was using, relief flooded through him slightly. It was shorter than normal, he must have not been as angry as he usually was when he failed to get the nine-tailed jinchuuriki.
"Thank you for your service, Zetsu-senpai!" The childish voice mocked his weaknesses, along with everything he had, as his darker side let the lighter side take over again. Zetsu had to bite his lip to hold back a threatening growl, before he lowered his head respectfully. "There is a treat for you back at the hideout, and she looks like your tastes, Zetsu-senpai!"
Zetsu's mouth watered despite himself, and he leaped to his feet, ignoring the burning pain that was slowly disappearing, because of his restorative ability. He bowed lowly to Obito Uchiha, before disappearing underneath the ground to have him some dinner.
