HOLY SHIT ON A DING DONG! I have not updated this thing in forever D: I'm soooo sorry for that... The only reason I can really give ya is that, well thanks to Tumblr and the Tumblr Rping Community, not to mention my playing video games. I've been so preoccupied with it that all my stories have kinda been pushed to the back-burner of my brain. But hopefully I can better adjust my timing and get updates out in a timely fashion. :)
Anyway, that's enough of that... Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story except for Tamiko, Tsukiko, Amaya and Mai. The Akatsuki and any other Naruto reference that is made belongs to Masashi Kishimoto! Of course, if I did own Naruto/The Akatsuki... NONE OF THEM WOULD DIE or get buried in the ground forever!
Chapter 11 - Caves, Trees, and Tents
Itachi and Amaya arrived in front of a cave as Itachi started walking into it, Amaya hesitated, before running into the cave near the entrance and behind a boulder. She just so happen to pull Itachi's arm and force him to go to the same hiding spot as her. Just before Itachi could ask the black streaked blonde what the problem was, they heard footsteps which followed by voices.
"Hm... Should we check this cave?"
"I don't really think anyone would go in there," Tsukiko's voice said, as the footsteps stopped moving, "especially since Ama-nii-chan is af-" Tsukiko stopped herself from finishing her statement, and grabbed Kisame's arm, "Come on, no one ever goes in that cave! Let's go look for people somewhere else!"
"Okay!" With that said, both Kisame and Tsukiko walked away from the cave that was currently hiding two people.
"I was going to so kick her ass if she finished that sentence!" Amaya exclaimed, standing up and wanting to move as far from the cave as she possibly could, she did hate caves.
Itachi glanced at the girl, before looking back at the cave and asked in monotone, "Are you afraid of caves?"
~ Amaya's P.O.V ~
I turned toward Itachi and shook my head, pretending that I wasn't afraid, before replying, "Of course not." smirked up at him, and added on, "Come on, we should get back to the campfire!"
"Why?"
"Because with 'Hide and Seek', even 'Team Hide and Seek', whoever makes it to the starting point of the game are safe from the seekers!" I explained, while starting to walk back toward the camp.
"Oh," Itachi quickly caught up to me and we walked side by side for a bit before I made a notion, "You know, we might get there faster if we could run quickly.." I said, even if I sucked at running in general, in fact if I was in the ninja world, I would be caught or killed VERY quickly, "…it's just that I'm not a very fast runner!"
All of a sudden, I felt myself being lifted bridle style into a pair of arms, looking up I saw that Itachi had picked me up again and had started jumping through the trees, like we did when we came across the cave.
After about 5 minutes of jumping Itachi finally landed on the ground and set me down, looking around was when I realized that we were back at the camp.
"Looks like not everyone was found yet," I stated, walking over to the fire with the black haired man behind me, ignoring Sasori and Kakuzu, "What happened to you guys?"
"Tobi ended up getting us caught shortly after the game started!" Zetsu explained, looking over at the orange masked boy, who was currently trying to catch a cricket a little ways away.
"O..kay," I said, turning back and looking at Hidan and Mai, who was looking into the fire now that she was back, "What about you two?"
Hidan glared at Mai, before finally replying, "the bitch here ended up getting us caught because she kept repeating 'Don't put me down', even after we landed on the fucking ground!"
I glanced at Mai and noticed that her eye twitched when Hidan called her bitch, 'could Hidan be the one to break her from her love for fire?' I thought, with a slight smile appearing on my lips.
Just as I opened my mouth to retort about Hidan's comment about Mai, four people entrance the area out of the corner of my eye and I turned my head to see that it was Kisame, Tsukiko, Pein, and Konan.
"There you two are," Tsuki says walking over to me as Kisame, Pein and Konan moved over to sit by the fire.
"Yep," I grinned at her, "I guess this means that Itachi and I won the game, since you and Kisame couldn't find us!"
Tsuki mumbled something incoherent under her breathe, before speaking out loud for everyone else to hear, "I think, it's time to go to sleep now!"
"Where are we supposed to sleep, Tsuki-chan?" Tobi asked, tilted his head to the side.
Tsuki and I exchanged looks before I finally said, "We did pack an extra tent in case something were to happen to the we're using, but since you guys showed up, I guess you can use it. Though, each tent can at least hold 10 people each… if we want comfort, I suggest we do 8 people per tent!"
Looking throughout the group, I sighed and stated, "Okay, since Deidara and Tami are already in the that Tsuki and Mai are staying in… How about we also get Konan and-"
"-Itachi!" Tsuki interrupted me, as I glared daggers at her, which in turn made her run behind Kisame.
Sighing, "fine, we'll take Itachi and Konan with us to our tent." I glanced at Itachi and tried to figure out what he thought of it, but he just made a "hn" sound.
~ No One's P.O.V ~
Amaya looked around at everyone and said, "Okay, I'm going to go set up the tent for the rest of you, guys. Who wants to help me?"
As she looked around at the group, before finally Tsukiko shrugged and stood up and then Kisame was right behind her, "We will!" Tsuki exclaimed, when she realized that no one else was going to step forward with them.
"Thank you Tsuki! Kisame!" Ama gave both of them a grateful smile, before turning and heading over to the trunk with Kisame and Tsukiko right behind her.
After what felt like an eternity, the two out of the three people who were on tent set-up duty returned back to the fire, "Where's Kisame?" Tobi asked, looking at the girls, "Tobi, don't see him anywhere."
Smiling at the orange-swirled masked boy, Tsuki replied, "Kisame, stayed back in the tent after we set-up. He said something about wanting to get a good spot inside before the rest of his tent group arrived!"
Once Tsukiko said a summary of what Kisame told the girls, everyone except Itachi, Konan, Mai, Pein and Zetsu got up and walked toward the tent that was just set-up. While Tsuki and Amaya looked at each other before looking at Zetsu and Pein, confused with why they didn't go them.
"Aren't you guys sleeping in the tent too?" Amaya asked, looking at the human plant man and the orange haired, pierced man, who were both still standing around the fire, though Ama did notice that Zetsu stood further back than the rest of the group, 'Well that would make sense, he does have plant around his body. Plants and fire just don't mix!'
"I'd rather stay outside, if that would be okay with you guys." Zetsu said, "Yeah, being in that tent would be to cramped with my venus flytrap around me."
After a bit, everyone said their "good nights" and headed off to a tent. Tamiko, Tsukiko, Amaya and Mai only had about one, maybe two, more day(s) on their camping trip… before they needed to get home. The only thing is what were the girls going to do with The Akatsuki once it was time to leave?
Just letting you know now, that when the camping trip is over.. I'm ending the story. But will be making a sequel about how The Girls are going to deal with The Akatsuki in their world. :)
