Kuro awoke to the cat on her chest, his head nestled in between her breasts. With dazed eyes she looked up to the milky blue sky, streaks of orange and red splaying across the expanse. Judging by the look of it, it was early morning. She could see her breathe, so winter was going to start soon. She was going to have to find shelter from the cold soon.
Kuro ran a hand over her face, today she had to go to school. She chewed on her lower lip, her mind coming up with different scenarios. People staring at her, since she went missing for a week after she supposedly 'touched' Kei.
She didn't even want to imagine what type of rumours had been made up, she sighed, the moister clouding up in front of her mouth.
"Kitty." His ear flicked in annoyance. "Kitty, It's time for me to go to school." His tail flicked, signalling he heard her. "You know, you can't come." His head shot up from between her breasts, his eyes narrowed at her. Kuro's breath hitched as she quickly sat up-sending that cat tumbling onto her lap.
There was no way it was possible.
She gripped his head in her hands, his wide eyes were a deep green. She let out a breath, the air clouding. She swore the cats eyes looked red for a moment.
There was something wrong with her. Since the accident she's been seeing things. Glimpses of stuff that wasn't really there. Like the doctor, she swore his face...melted...off in front of her once, leaving nothing but blank skin. She screamed and covered her eyes, only to find him staring at her with wide eyes moments later. His eyes. Not the blank skin.
Perhaps Naymay would know what was wrong with her. She was the owner of the carehome, she would know.

The cat padded behind her, making her twitch. She glanced back to him, his eyes were locked on her. She glared at him, he glared right back.
"I told you to stay!" She turned around and pointed at him. The cat merely watched her, his eyes focused behind her. She growled. "I told you many times, I can't take you to school with me." His tail flicked, as if waving away her comment.
Oh, how she hated his stubborness.
"I told you, I'm going to be perfectly fine. He snorted, making her twitch further.
"Are you arguing with the cat, again?" Kuro swiveled on her heel, her mouth opening to say something rude to the stranger. But she stopped short.
It was Pein.
Again.
He loomed a few feet from her, his arms crossed as he leaned against a wall.
Kuro cursed.
She had some really bad luck.
"It's none of your business." She hissed. Of course, the cat brushed against her leg. Of course, the stupid cat placed himself between her and Pein. Like he could do something if the Akatsuki member attacked.
"It is now, since tho spoketh to thee." Kuro blinked.
His weird old fashion words sounded awfully familure.
His off purple eyes with circles around the pupil looked very familiar as well.
Then his unmistakable loom. The same type of loom that Nagato could do from across the room.
"Your Nagato's brother." She stared at him, her eyes wide in disbelief. Kuro had no idea that Nagato had a brother! But there was no way for them to be so alike and not be related. Especially that loom, and those eyes.
Pein's lips curled into a small smile, making Kuro flinch t the beauty of it. Oh, how she hated attractive people. They were intimidating. "Half. He's my half-brother." The words were soft, yet held a darker undertone that sent shivers up her spine. Perhaps she should have kept her mouth shut.
Kuro couldn't help but stare at Pein, comparing their features. Pein had tons of piecing, altering his face a bit, but they still had similarities. The shape of the eye was different, but looked close to the same curves. Nagato had a gently curved jaw and chin, while Pein's eyes were slightly more sharp. They had similar set shoulders, and lean body. Their lips though, were the same. And the nose too, she added as an after note.
Of course, she should have noticed this before. She mentally smacked herself for not realizing it sooner. Perhaps Pein's many piercings threw her off the trail... That had to be it.
Kuro blinked, coming back to reality. Only, there was no one with her anymore. Pein was long gone by the looks of it. Silently, she thanked her zoning out habit. It finally came in handy, for once.
A faint growl made her look to her feet. The kitty was glaring with all his might behind her, his well-groomed black fur bristling.
That was the only warning before she was smashed against a living wall.
Not a wall.
The blue arms wrapped around her waist could only mean one thing. Kisame. The tall male scooped her up off her feet, crushing her small body in his as he gave her a bear hug from behind. All the air got squeezed out of her at the force of it.
"I found you, crazy cat lady!" He chucked, his loud raspy voice sounding in her ear. She blushed brightly at the contact, angry heat building in her chest as well as her shoulder. She really hated being touched.
"Let... Me... The fuck go!" Kuro pushed against him with all her might, but it was useless, the guy was all muscle. She tried again, but it was rather hard when she wasn't facing the guy.
"Why should I?" He moved so she was facing him much to her pleasure, he had his hands underneath her armpits as he held her out like a teddy bear. "Little girls should use such fowl language! Santa wont give you presents if your naughty." Kuro struggled harder, thinking she would be able to get out now.
She was wrong. His grip was strong, but gentle enough so he didn't hurt her. Either way, she couldn't get away.
"I'm not a little girl!" Deciding her struggled were useless, she switched tactics and tried to get a good grip on one of his arms.
"Dont lie. You're in what, 7th grade?" The tall blue guy laughed when she let out a colourful string of curses that no grade seven kid would know. "Maybe 8th. But your a bit short..." Kuro let out another string of curses.
She was seriously getting mad. He was so stupid! Was she so invisible that he didn't notice she went to the high school with him? They even had some of the same classes!
"I'm 16, in grade 11!" She yelled, right before she managed to get a good grip on his arm. Quickly, she hit her palm to his elbow, making it bend. With his momentarily lapse in his hold, she managed to hit his other arm away.
She stumbled a couple steps back, her eyes locked on him incase he tried to hold her again. He made no attempt, instead his dark eyes roamed over her body, as if inspecting her. His eyes were locked on her womanly parts the most. Blushing, she was thankful that she wore such loose cloths.
"Your so tiny though! Theres no way you're in the same grade as me." He chuckled, crossing his arms over his broad chest. Kuro twitched, her nerves calming when she felt the church cat brush against her leg. She had to remember to stay calm. She didn't want to piss of off an Akatsuki member. Well, another Akatsuki member at least.
"We are. We even share some of the same classes." She leaned onto the balls of her feet, her gaze darting around. It would be rude to leave the conversation again, so she hoped he didn't plan on talking much longer. Not saying he was bad to talk too, she just didn't like being touched. Or being called a 7th grader. Basically, he just happened to get on her bad side.
"Which ones?" He eyed her, as if not believing her. Kuro sighed. Her hopes of the conversation ending were getting smaller. The guy seamed to enjoy talking. Or maybe it was just bullying her he liked.
Kuro took in a deep breath, thinking of the classes she seen him in. He was rarely in class, so it was hard. "English 20-2, Biology 20-2, Physics, and Gym." She blinked. Wow, they had lots of classes together. She never realized it before.
Kisame clicked his tounge. "Huh... So you are in my grade."
RING RING RING
Both their eyes widened at the sound of the school bell in the distance.
"Later!" With a quick wave she took off in a sprint toward the school. The loud mrow from behind her told the cat didn't appreciate being ditched. Good for him.
"Your short little legs aren't going to get you to class in time!" Her eyes widened as her gaze darted to the figure next to her. Kisame looked lax as he jogged beside her. Stupid tall people and their long legs. She glowered.
"Hold on tight!" Somehow the blue male managed to pick her up and shift her so she was clinging to his hard muscular back.
It all happened so fast she didn't believe it. She was riding on an Akatsuki members back. A freaking Akatsuki members! She had to admit, it was fun. Like the human horse she never had.
Thats when she came to the conclusion she was still sleeping. After all, Kisame giving her a piggyback ride? Not in this life.
She had to be sleeping.
It would have been true if it wasn't for the burning pain in her shoulder.
Definitely not sleeping.
Kuro blinked. At least one thing was for sure. She was right about him being a good transport vehicle.
The painted cement walls caught her attention. Somehow they made it into the school without her noticing. Kisame kept booking it at full speed, stray kids throwing themselves out of his path at the sight of them. Good choice to, running into him is like running into a wall. She knew by experience.
"This is against the school rules!" Kuro yelled to him, a light giggle building in her throat. She would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy riding on his back. Actually, she very much so enjoyed it. His chuckle vibrated her whole body, which happened to be pressed firms against his broad back. A very hard back too. Like a wall. Wasn't there anything about him that wasn't like a wall?
"Screw the rules. As long as we get to Bio!" Just as he said that, he slammed the door of their class room open, his shoes skidding on the floor as he came to a stop. Imedetly, she dropped from his back, her face turning bright red at the stares they were getting.
What an entrance.
She lowered her head and quickly made her way to her table in the back. It was the only table that remained empty in the large classroom.
"Hey isn't that the kid who molested Kei?"
"I heard he raped her!"
"I heard Kei charged him, so he went to jail!"
Kuro was defiantly right about the rumours.
"Mr. Kisame, I suggest you take a seat." The teachers voice echoed from the front, it was firm, but she could make out the wavering undertone... A small smirk pulled onto her lips. It made sense, since Kisame was rather intimidating, being a giant and all. But, she couldn't let the fact he gave her a piggyback ride out of her head. It was kind of... Like something a brotherly figure would do.
"Yeah, yeah." Kisame's rough voice was almost normal to her now, she noticed with slight unease. Then again, it was a rather unique voice.
A soft thump next to her made her look over. Sitting at the same table with her was Kisame.
"Hey there, crazy cat lady." He winked at her playfully.
Kuro swore she could feel the stares of the people in the classroom bearing down on them.
"Stop calling me that." Kuro turned her head away. "And leave me alone." She said it softly. A soft chuckle made her look up. Now sitting at her table, was Nagato and Itachi.
Itachi wore an amused smile as he greeted Kisame. Nagato stared at her, as if asking if she was okay. The chuckle came from another person who joined their table. Another Akatsuki member. His eyes bore into her, watching her.
The hell?
