I'm dedicating this chapter to my grandpa who is in stage four lung cancer and my dad says this will probably be his last summer because the chemo isn't working anymore. We're going to visit him this weekend probably for the last time. His name and my grandma's name will be unaltered since their going through such a hard time. Plus for the stalkers I'm not using last names so HA! Love ya gramps, you old person!
Grandpa: I'm not THAT old.
Me: Yes you are Grandpa: Okay . . . maybe I am .
Grandma: WHO WANTS TACOS? EAT THE TACOS!
THIS CHAPPIE HAS BAD WORDS SO DEAL WITH IT. BESIDES, WITH HIDAN IN THE STORY IF IT HAD NO CUSS WORDS IT WOULD BE OOC!
BTW, If you want to see what Koori, Kiritsu, Hana and Hotaru look like, look up my Deviantart account as Nikkitheseedrian. I've done some base colorings, and as I get more into the story, I might make a comic. But I need people to request it.
Hotaru's POV
"Hana, please! I'm SO sorry. Just talk to me, PLEASE!" It had been said about twenty times in the last twenty-four hours, and as usual it came with no answer. Hana hadn't said a word to Kiritsu since she had woken up three hours later in the hospital with a concussion. She talked to us though, and she was defidently back to almost-normal. The first thing she did when she woke up was ask if we could get her some ramen, and Ino had brought some flowers. But she turned them down, since the whole mess started with Ino. It was Ino's idea to go down to the forest, and she wasn't getting away that easily. Koori and I had a trick up our sleeve, and the trick was going to be so much fun to pull out! We stayed with Hana for the rest of the day, and Tobi and Kisame had visited, bringing her flowers and a new book. Hana was absolutely beaming when she saw Tobi, and I think she has a crush on him, but she doesn't know it. I felt happy that she was feeling better, but she still had to stay overnight again so she wouldn't get too stressed. (Let's just say K and K had a little fiasco happen not too long ago in the lounge . . .) We said our goodbyes and Kiritsu apologized yet again to find the same depressing result. We all walked out and Kiritsu locked herself in her room for the night. I kept myself distracted to keep the weight of the events of today from smothering me. Since it was only about seven o'clock at night, we decided to call grandma and grandpa. They were my dad's parents and used to be able to shift to their dragon forms, but with age it gets harder to do so. This is basically how the conversation went.
"Hola?"
"GRANDMA!"
"Koori, shut up you're going to deafen her more!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Girls . . ."
""Sorry . .""
"Lena? Who called?"
"It's the girls Raul!"
"TELL GRANDPA WE SAID HI!"
"Koori said HI."
"Hello back to her!"
"Are Kiri and Hana there?"
"Errr . . . no. We had a little accident yesterday."
"Uh-oh. What kind of accident?"
"Basically Kiritsu had a case of POF (Pissed off female) and hit Hana. Then Hana fell backwards and got a concussion from hitting the corner on the coffee table with her head."
"THEN I TACKLED KIRI!"
"ZOMG, KOORI SHUT UP! KIRI CAN PROBABLY HEAR YOU!"
"Oh yeah . . ."
"Sorry girls, I have to go. I'm making some stew for grandpa."
"Okay, I love you grandma!"
"KOORI LOVES YOU THE MOSTEST!"
"We love you girls too. Bye."
""Bye.""
We sat there in an awkward silence until Koori jumped up real fast, pointing her finger into the air.
"A GAY BABY WAS JUST BORN!" She shouted running around in circles. I stared dumbfoundedly after her.
"What?" I finally managed to say, literally having the face of o.o . She kept running around in circles before charging to her room and slamming the door. I kept staring at the doorway until I finally just walked into my room for bed. Plopping down with a sigh I dreaded tomorrow. I had no idea why, I just did. I had a really bad feeling deep in my gut, and I couldn't get it to go away. I closed my eyes and listened to the wind whistling through the trees and my sense of dread almost vanished. Almost . . .
Maybe we should have our neighbors over when Hana comes home. That would be a good surprise. Especially since she has a crush on Tobi. I think that even Koori noticed. Which reminds me, why was Koori acting like that?
I walked over to her room. Koori? Why are you acting insane? Well, more than normal? I asked her.
Because tomorrow is a full moon! Koori told me. On the night before the full moon, her wolf is closer to the surface and it makes the werewolf slightly insane.
Ok. We are going to ask our friends to come over tomorrow. I told her.
Yay! She yelled. Let s go ask right now! she flung open the door and ran outside. I followed after her.
She was knocking really fast.
The door opened. What? Deidara asked.
Do you guys want to come over tomorrow? Koori asked bouncing up and down.
Who gave you sugar? he asked her.
NO ONE! Koori said, They all told me no! she then made a face like this DX Uh, ok Deidara said looking at her wide eyed.
Wanna come in? Sasori asked walking up to the door.
Sure, I said hitting Koori in the back of the head. She growled at me. Don t growl at me! We walked inside their house and went over to were Granny Chiyo was. Can they come over tomorrow? I asked her. Koori went off with Deidara to go and do random crap.
Is it ok with your parents? she asked me.
They said I m in charge so they will be fine with it! I replied confidently.
Ok then, they can all come over. She amended. Where did Koori go? She went off with Deidara or something. I said.
A small crashing sound followed by a chorus of laughter erupted from a hallway to my left, and Sasori did a facepalm. I decided not to ask when they came out with black all over them. They were still laughing histerically and Koori kept saying 'Papaya go BOOM'. I literally dragged her out of the house as she thrashed around, and told them to come over at around noon. They nodded and Sasori said goodbye. She, of course, stomped into her room because I 'ruined her socialization' AKA because I stopped her from blowing up their house. What a pyro maniac. I fed Hana's fish and finally went to bed.
Katsuo's POV
After resting for a while, we were waiting for orders to continue on our hunt for the rogues when I suddenly felt odd. It was sort of like when you feel like someone's watching you, but it's impossible for them to even be there without you knowing. Well it was like that, times twenty. I heard a very faint whizzing sound, and Kiyoshi woke up.
"What's wrong?" She asked me, judging my face. I listened closely and immediately shoved her sideways. A huge kunai whizzed by her ear and embedded itself deep into the oak tree she had been leaning on. She sat shocked for a split second before getting to her feet. I got up too, and alerted everyone immediately.
"WE'RE BEING AMBUSHED!" I shouted, getting ready to transform if needed. Everyone was up now, with weapons ready for battle. I noticed a small flicker in the trees ahead from us. I ducked when I recognized it.
"GET DOWN! IT'S A PAPERBOMB!" I yelled, pulling Kiyishi under me. I transformed into a huge jet black dragon and took the explosion in my back. It, of course, didn't hurt, but the smoke stung my eyes a little bit. I felt another presence in the air, and looked up. Great. I knew that that was no ordinary paperbomb. It was a cheaper paperbomb made by a group of rich and powerful air type dragons. My opponent was pearl white with red eyes and redish teeth. Not exactly a good sign in dragon language. I looked down at the ground, to find all sorts of ninjas dashing towards the village now. Shit. Shit. Shit. Did I mention shit?
"Kiyoshi, get to the village and get the girls. Get everyone into shelters, NOW! Tell the village that we are on red alert now!" I shouted. She nodded and ran towards the village. My white opponent (lol that sounds racist) dove for her, but I stopped him. He turned and sped towards the village, leaving me behind. Shit. I HATE air types. As I followed him, I realised that Konoha was in for quite a fight.
