You sat on the branch, your body unmoving as you carefully criticized the four sound-nins below you.
You heard Tayuya was the girl with red-pink hair, she has a fowl mouth, but then again, you couldn't exactly count on someone in her position to be polite. Two other Jounin had gotten in your way and they boosted up to "level two" in order to defeat them. Being at a (barely) Jounin level, you had little trouble defeating the first two.
"We're in such a hurry, yet we're attacked."
"We don't have much of a choice. Using a cursed seal level two takes too much out of us." Tayuya stated, almost regaining her breath.
"Nevertheless, not being able to use your body..."
"There wasn't much of an option against Jounin, if we hadn't we would of been defeated."
Continuing to rest, you noticed that the man with six arms turn his head toward the bushes. You could feel the chakra emitting from the group, until they separated though, you couldn't tell how many there were, you knew that Shikamaru and Naruto were there, but who else?
WHOOSH! In one sudden movement, one of the guys sitting beneath you shot up, throwing a shuriken at the bushes, three exploding tags held onto it; sizzling as they ate the tags up quickly. A large explosion rocking the earth as two shinobi knocked backwards in a flash of white light.
Neji and Shikamaru landed in front of you with thud and a yelp, disoriented by the sudden explosion. You stayed in the tree, holding your place as a mere contender, hoping beyond hope not to get noticed.
"What's this? I just threw a kunai expecting to see a snake, and I get two bugs instead."
"Hey, wait up!"
Shikamaru held up his hands in what you guessed was surrender, stumbling slightly on the craters that formed when their body's rammed into the ground.
"We didn't come here to fight! We came here to negotiate!"
One of the four smirked, pulling back four of his six arms as three of people fell out of the surroundings.
"Then what are these?" he questioned, pulling back slightly as Kiba threw a smoke-bomb down, a dome a purple mist engulfing the area between both groups.
"And what about the smoke bomb, you can't escape. The strings in my hands are thin, but stronger than wirer, so you can barely see them." He stated, twirling the strings up and down.
"I'll get you-my body...can't, move..." he strained, looking backwards as he's futile attempts to move his body. While the smoke-bomb went off, Shikamaru pulled their shadows into his, controlling their motions and restraining their bodies.
I see, they planned this from the beginning.
You never met Shikamaru, you had heard he was the first of the rookie nine to make Chuunin, but you've never met the guy. From the qualifications, he must be the leader of the group: Shikamaru, Naruto, Kiba, Neji, and Chouji. Though you've only met Naruto from your training, you did note how strong they were.
"But, I do have this technique. Thanks for going along with my plan." You looked at them, thinking about their tactics.
Are all men cocky, or just the ones I happen to know?
"You got me."
You raised an eyebrow, looking towards the one that spoke. You choked on yourself, the second head he dawned now disappeared. You looked around slightly, still concealing yourself beside the underbrush.
I don't like it when limbs detach themselves from their own body!
You started to panic; you hated it when limbs could move outside the body. One of your phobia's; swallowing the ever-growing lump in your throat, you held your fear out of reach. Freaking out now was not going to help anything.
"Hey you stupid whore! Get your fucking ass down here now, damn it!" Tayuya yelled, at what you guessed was yourself.
Since when am I a whore? Do I look like a whore? In all seriousness, do I really look like a whore?
While the man next to her scolded her on being, lady-like, you concentrated on letting yourself blend in.
Damn it Tayuya, let her catch on with the element of surprise! Now they know that a fifth ones here!
Shikamaru looked around, trying to catch your scent. Fortunately since Akamaru didn't know you, he couldn't catch on to your scent; considering all the scents were mingled together and none of them recognizable, he would have a hard time sniffing you out.
Shiruken came out from behind, nailing Shikamaru in the arm; causing his shadow menge justu to cancel itself out.
Earth began to swallow them up as an earth dome devoured the group, cutting off oxygen supply. A cracking sound brought you back to earth, the sound-nins second head fitting perfectly into place.
"I got these kids, let me recover some." The orange haired ninja rested his hands on the earthy barrier. You looked at the barrier with a frowning forehead, could they even breathe?
"Can they breathe...?" You questioned, slightly concerned for Naruto. One of the sound looked at you, his second head smirking mockingly.
"If you still care about your little ninja friends, then maybe you should join them." He smirked, trying to irk you into a reaction.
"Didn't you ever..." you started looking up at the sky before heading back the way they had started, thinking better about asking them.
"Once you finish eating, catch up with us." He said, looking towards you with that smirk of his.
He's saying that on purpose.
You knew Naruto could handle this guy; after all, he did master Rasengan. But what did he mean by, eating?
Continuing through the forest, you heard a resounding BOOM! rocking the earth below you.
"I just knew they'd get out of that..." you muttered flatly, internally though, you were shouting and jumping for joy!
Go Shika! Its your birthday! Its your birthday! WOOT!
Calming yourself down, you sensed the others heading in your direction, minus one of their teammates. Shadowing yourself in the trees to get a better vantage point, you quickly ran ahead of the rest, preparing to install any traps along the way.
You must have been running for ten minutes before you stopped. A subcouncious feeling of loss penetrating your chest as you carried on running; something was wrong, but you couldn't quite figure it out.
Jiroubou came onto the scene a minute later, looking steadily ahead. Staying hidden in the trees, you couldn't hear a word that they said.
Something's not right...he should of smirked or somethin'.
You didn't know the guy for more than a few hours, but you could tell he didn't look like the type to stay silent unless he was angry. And why would he be angry on a mission like this? Maybe a personal grudge, or something one of the others said?
The six-armed man suddenly threw the barrel towards Tayuya, flipping once in the air before she caught it in her arms.
At this point, I think they've forgotten Sasuke's still in that barrel...
You laughed silently at that, keeping at your hiding place in case the others were in the surrounding area. Being careless, you decided not to find out were the others were hiding.
Apparently the six-armed man told you to go ahead, because they started speeding up at a rapid pace, leaving himself behind.
Keeping ahead with the other two, you noted that there was an equal of number of people for every other person, including you.
What the hell is he doing? How did he...?
You were starting to get worried, after all someone out of Konoha was trailing you. A certain blonde-haired male we all know about?
Waiting 'till he was within range you began tracking his chakra. He wasn't alone though, a barely hidden chakra resided next to him, and they were obviously trailing you, but why?
Bringing your attention back to the others, you saw Tayuya grit her teeth, gripping the barrel closely.
"Not only did that fatass Jiroubou waste time, but what is Kidoumaru doing? That piece of shit!"
"He has a tendency to want to play, he may have found someone willing to play with."
Great, go ahead, make Tayuya angry...Why does Jiroubou even try?
"The octopus plays to much, and tends to get over-excited, Which will make him go into that mode easily.
Oh-My-Fucking-God! Tayuya went a whole sentence without cussing! It's the end of the world!
You unknowingly began singing "It's the end of the world as we know it" as you ran, gathering the attention of both Tayuya and two-head man. Shrugging, the two began to talk again.
"Yeah, but anyone he fights while in stage two, will die an instant death."
You didn't know how to react to that, looking at the two of them, abruptly stopping your song.
Things don't look so well...But I have to keep my promise...
Looking back on the time you spent with Akatsuki, you couldn't help but feel a somewhat queasy, there were a lot of good memories, true, but there were bad times too. You and Yuki couldn't stay in the same room as each other with out fighting, and sometimes it got out of hand.
"Playground school-bell rings, again.
You reached across the table, stealing the picture from Yuki's hands while he tried to convince Itachi to say something.
Rain-clouds come to play, again.
You looked at the picture for a long time, resulting in Deidara looking over your shoulder.
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Before he could ask anything, you set the picture in front of the unsuspecting Yuki.
Hello, I'm your mic, giving you someone to talk to.
Excusing yourself from the table you began to walk away, heading back to yours (and Yuki's) room.
Hello?
You sighed, looking at your hands, images of blood falling onto them like clouds in the sky.
If I smile and don't believe...
Silent tears trickled down your face, you couldn't do it, not after you met Yuki, not after what you did to him...
...soon I know, I'll wake, from this dream.
You let yourself get hurt, constantly aware that you deserved such pain, constantly aware how alone you really were.
Don't try to fix me,
You shouldn't, you couldn't, and you wouldn't, stop.
I'm not broken!
You clutched your aching head, holding onto it, pleading for the tears to stay away.
Hello?
A loud bang opens your eyes and you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie.
I'm the lie,
"Its not fair." He whispered, almost violent in his clarification.
living so you can hide.
"Why are you crying!" he shouted, pulling you limply to your feet, clutching your shoulders aggressively.
Don't cry...
"Why do you deserve to be sad!" he more stated than questioned.
Suddenly I know,
"I don't deserve anything at this point..." you cried soundlessly, almost as if you were whispering your sobs.
I'm not sleeping.
You reached up and cupped his face unaware that the other nine were watching by the door.
Hello?
"I don't even deserve death..." you dropped your hands, pushing your body under the covers.
I'm still here.
"Hey, what's going on, yeah?"
All that's left of yesterday.
Yuki pushed passed them all roughly, muttering a small "out of my way" before escaping outside the boundaries of Akatsuki.
Tumbling outside of your trip-down-memory-lane, you found yourself looking at the other two, who've suddenly stopped somewhere behind you, cursing your own stupidity.
You jumped back, landing on a tree branch in perfect soundlessness; hoping the five below wouldn't notice your absence.
"Where's your fifth member? I would have thought she would've been here by now?" Kiba smirked, poking fun at the two sound-nins.
"Oh, the stupid whores around. I'd be more worried about your useless asses than hers." Tayuya sneered, holding the barrel protectively behind her.
Next person who even tries to insult me, will get their throat ripped out.
The two-headed man leapt towards them almost immediately, separating the three out individually.
As Kiba and Shikamaru charged at him directly, Naruto stayed back with his clone, holding out his hand while chakra built into a sphere inside his palm.
So this must be the legendary Rasengan, quite a treat to see the fourth's technique in person.
Grabbing Naruto's thrusting arm, two-head held him in place, Rasengan disappearing in the flash of his palm. Kiba rushed forward in a twirling whirlwind, shouting "Tsuuga" as he...uh...twirled...?
Anyway, he dug threw Naruto's back, heading straight for the two-headed man. Heading in a straight line, Tayuya didn't move until they collided with each other. Saton stood up, rushing to get to Kiba, who stole the barrel as they moved.
Unfortunately, you got there first.
Naruto stopped, dumbfounded as you continued to charge at them, swiping the barrel as you went.
"Sorry Naruto, but I have a duty to protect my promises. I promise to make it up to you!" you called back sweetly
"Love ya, gotta go sweetie!"
