Nikki:^3^
My eyes flutter open and the first thing I notice is a thick metal chain attached to my wrist. It's not attached to an iron bracelet or anything, it seriously goes under my skin and everything. Oh, did I forget to mention the major amount of pain coming from that? I wince and take in my surroundings.
I'm in a dark, twisted place. The trees are all dead, the lake nearby is the colour of blood and the very ground itself is a deep burgundy. I then look down at myself and give a little yelp. I'm wearing an extremely too short, jet black, tight mini cocktail dress with a plunging neckline. All my marks are left uncovered and all are visible except those that are covered by the napkin of a dress.
I hear malicious laughter behind me and whip my head around, trying not too move too much. I know that if I lean too far or move too much whoever is looking at me will get an eyeful from under my dress.
From behind one of the life-starved trees, a man appears. His body seems to be unsubstantial, shimmering and not completely there. His black hair falls down to his shoulders and is tied up at the nape of his neck. His icy eyes are looking around nonchalantly, but I can see that his attention is on me.
I lift my left eyebrow questioningly at him, placing my hand on my hip.
"I wanna know two things. I wanna know who the fuck you are, and where the fuck I am." I state, glaring at him slightly.
He lets out a loud bark of laughter and then seems to regard me with new eyes.
"Do you really need to know who I am?" he asks, lifting one of his eyebrows.
"What kind of a question is that?" I retort. "Listen. I'm not a great person to fuck with so I suggest you answer my questions before I start beating you all the way until you see next Sunday." I threaten, getting more and more pissed off.
He starts to make his way over to me and I stand my ground. He's really tall, towering over me. I'm not the short type, not overly such anyway, and I feel strange with someone as tall as him in front of me. Of course, most would consider height an asset, when really, it's a weakness.
He looks curiously down at me. "I am Jashin."
I scoff. "Uh huh. Right."
He looks down at me with a serious look now. "This is my mortal form."
He opens the black cloak he's wearing and I look at his naked chest. (Thankfully, he had pants on.) As if burned into his flesh, the Jashin symbol stands proud, like an old scar.
I pause, looking at the mark for a few seconds, before replying.
"A scar doesn't prove anything to me." I object, looking back up at his face. He seems to be wondering whether to be amused or angry. He seems to choose amusement.
"Of course it wouldn't. But, I suppose, you will just have to trust me." he smirks, tossing his hair behind his shoulder again before it falls back into his eyes.
"Alright then. I'll call your bluff. How long are you going to keep me here? I bet this is just some genjutsu anyway." I state, crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.
He reaches forward and fingers the chains attached to my wrist. "You know," he begins. "I can take away your life by simply cutting the one thing that holds you to your mortal life..."
He suddenly pulls out a kunai and slices down my arm.
I gasp and wince, watching as my blood slowly drips out of my arm and onto the ground.
"What the fuck? You bastard! Why in the name of shit did you do that for?" I cry, glaring at him as Akuma heals my arm.
"To see what your reaction is. Obviously, you are accustomed to pain." he states.
"Whoop-de-fucking-doo! I'm a ninja! I need to be." I answer rudely, rolling my eyes.
"Let me ask you, have you ever died before?" Jashin questions, looking at me with seriousness.
I glance back at him.
"A few death encounters." I reply slowly. He nods thoughtfully.
"I do believe your a perfect candidate to be one of my followers. I've had a look at your past and it seems more then violent enough. Welcome to Jashinism." Jashin smirks.
"Er... thanks? Haven't forgiven you for slitting up my fucking arm though, bastard." I scowl.
"See you whenever I feel like visiting." he smirks before grabbing his kunai again and stabbing me in the head. I feel brief pain before incredible force. I give a little scream as I plummet.
This feeling of falling is different to when Akuma brings me back to life. That falling still has a feeling of safeness and has an absence of pain.
This fall, unlike the one previously mentioned, is like bungee jumping without the bungee and feels like my body is being torn apart by rabid dogs. I let out a scream as I plummet headfirst into darkness. I shut my eyes tightly before I feel as if I've been slammed against the cement in my cell.
I scream at the initial pain but, slowly, it develops into pleasure. I bite my lip and open my eyes, this time, staring at the roof of my cell.
I groan, unfold my legs and lie down, taking deep breaths.
Woah. I turn my head to the door and something huge and pointy is facing back at me. I sit up and look at the new weapon with wide eyes. A grin slowly spreads onto my face.
Beside me is a black Jashin symbol on a chain and beside that.....
Ever heard of Zabuza Momochi? No? Heard of that huge ass chef's knife he has as a sword? Maybe? Well, I'm staring at a better one.
It's blade is jet black and it's handle is wrapped in bandages. I look onto the huge blade and gasped as I saw symbols that resembled everything about me, including the sharingan, the Uchiha crest, a wolf, a Jashin symbol and the number 10 in blood red colouring. Attached to the end of the blade is a large length of silver chain, rolled up in a pile. The chain is obviously meant to use as a strap and to control it like Hidan does with his scythe and wire.
My grin turns sadistical when all the thoughts of what I could do with that sword pop into my head. I hold back a girlish squee and tentatively reach out to the depressing beauty beside me.
Before I'm even 10 inches away, the sword snaps into my hand, immediately feeling right there. I stand up and lift my sword to eye level. I balance it and swing it around me a few times.
Absolutely perfect.
I grab the chain and wrap it around my torso, over my shoulder and around my hip. I tighten it so it's a strap, making the side of my sword press tightly against my back. Despite it's size, the sword is not actually that much of a burden. I roll my shoulders, trying to get used to the chains and step out of the symbol.
A feeling of warmth I didn't even know I had suddenly leaves me.
A pause and try to figure out what's going on.
"It's because you are leaving the circle." Akuma explains. "You are leaving something that connects you to Jashin behind. I suggest putting your necklace on now."
"Yeah. Thanks, Akuma." I reply, clipping the necklace around the back of my neck. The warm feeling returns. I let out a breath and continue to the door.
I clang on it three times before it opens. I walk out into the open space to be greeted by Hidan.
"Yami. You survived." he smirks.
"I told you I would. If you were worrying, then you were wasting your time." I grumble, walking a few steps back up the hallway.
He runs to catch up with me.
"By the way," I begin. "You were right."
"Huh?" he grunts.
"Jashin-sama was waiting for me." I smile, reaching the top of the staircase.
"YAMI-SEMPAI!" I hear Tobi call. I then see a blur of orange and black and Tobi is attached to me.
"Tobi was so worried! Tobi thought Yami-sempai would not survive! Never scare Tobi like that again!" Tobi cries, tears running from the hole in his mask.
I look down at him and then knock him on the head.
"Baka-chan." I smile. "You should have more faith in me, Tobi. I thought you of all people would."
"Gomen! Gomen nasai, Yami-sempai!" Tobi gushes, bowing repeatedly.
I let out a half irritated, half amused sigh. "It's fine, Tobi. Don't worry about it now."
I look around.
"Ne, where's Deidara?" I ask, noticing his absence.
Tobi looks down and more tears go down his mask.
Hidan is blunt with me.
"He committed suicide." he admits, putting his hand on my shoulder. I squeeze my eyes shut and then open them.
I can grieve later.
"That was his choice." I state, shaking Hidan's hand off my shoulder.
Tobi and Hidan look at each other briefly and then Tobi runs up to me.
"Ooh, Yami-sempai! That sword looks so sharp! Where did Yami-sempai get it?" Tobi squees, his eyes glowing.
I shake my head in disbelief and lift my hand up to the swords handle.
"It's my initiation gift." I explain with affection, running my hand along the chains.
Tobi lifts his hand up to the blade.
"If you were smart, you wouldn't touch that." I warn, watching him out of the corner of my eyes.
"Yami-sempai is probably right..." Tobi sighs, his hand retreating. "Tobi is going to find Zetsu-sempai!" he cries, racing off down the hall. I sigh as he disappears from view.
"How long was I in there, Hidan?" I question, turning to face him.
"Two days. You need to report to Leader immediately. You have a mission." Hidan states as we walk up to Pain's office.
I nod. I lift my hand up and stroke the Jashin symbol hanging from my necklace. Hidan looks down and sees me. He smiles and then looks up again as we reach Pain's office door.
I reach up and knock on the door twice.
"Enter." I hear Pain say. I open the door and slip into the room, Hidan waiting outside.
"Mitsukai-Uchiha Yami , reporting." I state, bowing quickly once.
"Close timing, Yami. Almost surpassed the deadline. I take it all went well?" Pain asks.
"Yes. I heard about Deidara. Is this true?" I reply.
"Yes." Pain answers. I bow my head.
"I see."
"Yami, I told you that I had a mission for you." Pain begins. "It was going to be a solo mission, but you now need to take Hidan with you. You are to go to the Sound Country and suggest a peace bargain. Give him anything he wants. We need them as allies. Do you understand?"
"The... Sound Country?" I gasp. Pain nods.
"Talk to Orochimaru. Get him to agree. That is your mission." he finishes, waving me out of the room.
I pause before turning swiftly, opening the door and slamming it shut behind me.
"Pack your things." I order, not even looking at Hidan as I say it. "We have a fucking mission in the Sound Country."
"Hai, Yami." Hidan answers, surprised that he's on a mission without Kakuzu.
I walk up to my room, my footsteps echoing in the empty hallway and my fringe hanging in my eyes.
I open my bedroom door to find it once again empty. I look over to Samehada against my bed and suddenly feel a slight resentment to it. I pick it up and throw it on the floor. I stare at it for a second before writing a note on a piece of paper.
Kisame,
You don't need to count this as me giving Samehada back, just me giving it to you to look after while I have no need of it.
It'll be yours when I die anyway. This is truly your sword, it can only be yours. Work on mastering it, for it is a great weapon.
Mitsukai-Uchiha Yami
"There. Now I'm rid of the fucking nuisance." I snarl, feeling surprised at the anger in my voice. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I then gather my hate and a couple of scrolls and such and head back out of my room. I walk down the hallway and outside.
Waiting there is Hidan, the wind making his cloak flutter a bit and his scythe strapped to his back. I stand next to him.
"Let's go." I order, jumping into the trees.
I don't start or continue any conversations Hidan wants to have. After a couple of hours, he gives up.
When nightfall arrives, I stop to make camp. Hidan catches up after a few minutes, panting.
"Fuck. You, woman, are like a fucking machine." Hidan laughs, helping me make camp.
"I only stopped because of you." I growl, flicking a spark onto the wood and kindling I've gathered. It starts as a small flame, but grows bigger into a crackling blaze.
"Don't you need to stop and rest, too?" Hidan asks. I stare into the fire.
"No." I answer, tuning him out.
Sasuke...
How will you react to seeing me...?
How long has it been since I last saw you...?
How much have you grown...?
These thoughts run through my head through the night as I watch for enemies. Hidan sleeps on the ground, occasionally grunting, rolling around and swearing in his sleep.
As the sun rises, Hidan wakes up. He looks up at me and sighs.
"Geez, you get up early." Hidan chuckles. I stand up.
"Who said I went to sleep in the first place?" I ask, packing up camp quickly. I put some food in front of Hidan and sit down and start to eat my own.
"Thanks." Hidan gets out before he wolfs down his food. I finish after a few minutes and then get up and stretch.
"Are you ready?" I question.
"Already? You're so eager to get to the Sound Village." Hidan grumbles, packing up his stuff.
"Let's just go." I growl, jumping into the trees again.
"Eh, wait up!" Hidan yells, jumping up after me.
We continue on, all through the day, stopping whenever Hidan needs to, until, finally, we reach the Sound Village. I stop just before the City's gate. Hidan lands beside me, doubling over and breathing deeply.
"... At... last..." Hidan gasps, face-planting.
I roll my eyes and look at to the big building in the centre of the village.
"Do you suppose that's where we need to be?" I question, flicking the dangly things from my hat out of my vision.
"I suppose the biggest building in the biggest city would be the best place to find the biggest pedophile in the Sound Village." Hidan states, standing up from his bent over position.
I sigh and start walking up to the building.
"Ne, Yami." Hidan starts.
"Yeah?"
"There are a few things you need to know about being an apprentice."
"Like what?"
"Well, for one, you aren't immortal because you aren't a priest. Also, because you are bound to me, you will feel half of my pain. So, if I stab myself through the heart, it will not kill you, but cause you quite a bit of pain." Hidan explains.
"Anything else?" I question.
"This is different to every apprentice, but you will look different when you go into the Voodoo Stage. Most of the time your hair colour changes. On rare occasions, you gain wings or animal ears and tail or something. This is altered to every individual." Hidan finishes.
"I wonder what I will be like." I ponder as we reach the entrance doors. I tilt my hat downwards to hide my face.
"Who goes there?!" a ninja calls down to us. I don't pause in racing up the wall and onto the top of the defense turrent.
"Just tell Orochimaru that a couple of pissed off Jashin following, Akatsuki members are waiting for him to let us in, understand?" I snarl, throwing the guard against the wall.
"H-Hai." he gasps.
I smirk. "Good."
I jump off the edge of the turrent and fall to the ground. I pump a bit of air below me to soften my fall. I land softly and quietly.
"What did you do to him?" Hidan asks.
I smirk. "Do you really care?"
"...Not really." He admits. The doors open and a couple of guards come out to escort us in. I sigh impatiently and follow the guards into a large hall. At the opposite end to us is a large throne in the center and then a smaller, less extravagant throne next to it.
In the throne in the center is one of the legendary Sannin, child pedophile and the ugliest person I've seen to boot. He looks down at us as if he were buying cattle at a market.
Standing behind his throne is a man with round glasses and silver hair that's tied up in a ponytail. As I'm regarding him, he pushes his glasses further up the bridge of his nose.
And, in the smaller throne, is the one I've wanted to see. Sasuke, my big brother. I don't really know what I want to do now. To run over and hug him and tell him how much emotion he's made me feel... or just beat the living shit out of him.
I resort to simply gritting my teeth and hiding my face.
"Welcome, Akatsuki members." Orochimaru hisses. His voice sends shivers of disgust down my spine. "It would be most pleasant if I get to know your names."
I pause. "Our names are not any of your concern. You seek business with Leader. We are messengers. Our names are not necessary." I growl. Sasuke jumps at the sound of my voice and glares at me, trying to see under my hat.
I tilt it farther down and shift my eyes.
"If you are going to be staying here for a few days, surely we need to know your names." Orochimaru smiles, putting his chin in his hand.
"Pain... exactly how long are we staying?" I ask, sending my message through to Leader.
"Three days." he replies, cutting off the connection.
"Well, I'm Hidan. I'm a Jashinist priest." Hidan smirks. Orochimaru glances briefly at him, nods and then turns back to me.
"And you?" Orochimaru asks.
I sigh and take my hat off, holding it down by my side.
"My name is Mitsukai-Uchiha Yami. I am Hidan's apprentice and the sister of Sasuke and Itachi." I growl, not looking up at them.
"Have I met you before? Surely, I'd remember you." Orochimaru ponders, looking at me closely.
"...Yami?" I hear a weak voice ask. I sigh again and force myself to look up at Sasuke.
"How's it going, Sasuke?" I smirk. He stands up and stares down at me.
"...I thought you were dead..." he gasps, stepping over towards me.
"Surely, if you'd stayed in Konoha a little longer, you would have, yet again, witnessed my ability to come back to life." I snarl, feeling a wave of anger towards him. He stops, shocked at my reaction.
"...Interesting..." Orochimaru hums. I glare at him briefly before taking a deep breath.
"We, from the Akatsuki, come bearing a pea-" I start.
"You joined the Akatsuki?!" Sasuke roars.
I smirk. "Sure did. What gave me away? The Akatsuki cloak, the evil chakra that emitted from me...?"
He doesn't look like he has any verbal comeback for that. Instead, he throws a kunai at me. I simply stop the air moving around it and it falls to the ground.
"You always have had quite a temper on you, Oniichan." I chuckle, moving forward to him. I step so that I'm right up close to his face.
"You'll never be strong enough to change. Itachi was right. You lack everything." I growl.
Sasuke roars at me and tries to punch me. I grab hold of his fist and twist it around, behind his back. He struggles against my grip.
"You should have just stayed dead." he snarls at me.
"I guess it's just my mission in life to make yours as horrid as possible. Everything's about you, right?" I growl back throwing him against the wall and molding the ground around him. He fights against the bonds, to no avail.
I turn back to Orochimaru, to find him staring at me with interest in his eyes.
"I thought it was you the first time I fought you, Ten Tails." Orochimaru smirks. I put my hand on my hip as Hidan gasps.
"Well done. You remember me?" I laugh, smirking back.
"How could I forget someone with that much power?" Orochimaru asks.
"How can I disagree?" I retort, rolling my eyes. "I'll pick up from where I left off. We come from the Akatsuki, extending a peace offering. Leader is willing to offer you anything you desire in exchange for your loyalty. Hopefully, we will be able to attack Konoha in the near future and we need as many allies as we can get. Will you agree?"
"I will." he replies.
"What do you wish for in exchange?" I question.
"... You."
Nikki: OMG major cliffie. -dies-
Rachel: Not... really...
Nikki: -wakes up- Eh. Spose.
Hidan: R + R or I'll come to your house and steal your puppies!!!! :D
Gaara: What if they have no puppies? -glares at Hidan-
Hidan: -glares back- *electricity sparks* Then I'll just beat the crap out of YOU!!!
Nikki: ftw?
Gaara: NIKKI IS MINE FOREVER!!!!!!!
