Updating this story in a little over a week, and a longer chapter! Record!

This chapter is quite slow, but it goes into details. This first part will probably be confusing, but I think it'll clear up in a few more chapters.

I've looked back at the previous chapters I wrote nearly 2 years ago, and I considered a complete rewrite. Seriously. Those past 12 chapters SUCKED. But time is not my friend, sadly. T_T

Enjoy.

I Told You Not to Freak Her Out Like That

Water dripped down the walls and dripped lightly onto the floor, creating a tapping sound. It was as if the drops were counting the seconds of time. Drip…drip…drip. One…Two…Three…

I was counting the seconds of eternity. It seemed like I had been awake for days, when I knew it was actually hours. I struggled against the bonds that held me to the steel chair. It was fruitless, but that did not stop me from trying anyway.

"Xion Mizura, we have placed you here, for your own safety, and for our village's. It is too dangerous for you to be outside at this time. I hope you understand that we do worry about you. We will not abandon you. Do not fret. This is only for the time being."

I flinched at the cold voice of the elder. How could the village put me here? I was under arrest…not because of a crime, but because of power, envy, and fright.

"Due to your possession of the…Shimari…it is rash to let you out in the village when Orochimaru is attacking. Now, if you excuse us, we shall have to leave to supervise the village's security and-"

I panned out, my mind swirling in a midst of bright colors. No, surely, surely, the village would not abandon me. Surely, the Hokage would let me out. Surely, I was not considered a threat to the village and I would be free once more.

Foolish girl. They have already abandoned you. Your friends will never come to you. The elders are suspicious. No one will ever let you out, a voice in my head said. I closed my eyes after watching the elders and ANBU leave.

"You're right," I said to the voice, a tear streaking down my cheek, "All I have is you."

I sobbed quietly, the voice in my head unusually quiet. The tears, unrestrained, flowed down my face as I tried to grasp the reality of the situation. I kept trying to tell myself that all of this was a dream, that I was actually with Suzaku and Ari, that I was free.

I could not dry the tears on my face because my hands were bound, with chakra restraints, to the chair. I sniffled as the tears stopped and I regained my composure.

I was angry. Unbearably angry. The village shut me in because it was afraid of me. My eyes narrowed. All this time I had been watched, predicted, and rejected by the village. Otherwise, they would not have known that I was heading to Gaara…

Focusing my chakra in my wrists, I probed the chakra resistors. They readily accepted my increasing chakra and restricted, cutting into my wrists slightly. So these were the kind that reacted to increased chakra. My wrists would eventually be cut off if I kept adding.

"Need help?" someone said from above. I looked up and was met with a white face, green hair, and a venus fly-trap? I opened my mouth to scream before a hand clamped over my mouth.

"I told you not to freak her out like that." The person behind me said, his hand still clasped over my mouth. I listened in shock at the man's voice. It was deep and scruffy, and sounded quite cynical. I gulped. This was something new that I did not expect.

"Look, you're frightening her. Poor girl." The white man-plant dropped down noiselessly from the ceiling of the cell. The man frowned.

"If I move my hand, she will scream," the second man said succinctly, successfully emphasizing his point.

I looked at the first man in front of me and tried to give him an innocent puppy look. He sighed and motioned for the man behind me to release his hand. He did so, and I sighed in relief.

"Can you…help me get out?" I asked feebly, shivers running down my spine as the man behind me moved around. My eyes widened as they stepped into the light.

Each person only had half a face. The black half-man-plant had yellow eyes and both had green hair. As I watched, they merged slowly back together, body, torso, and lastly head. I heard a sickening "pop" as their heads slid together. I stared in horror as the creature donned a cloak…black with red clouds. Akatsuki. If my hands were free, I would've pointed at him and screamed at the top of my lungs. I didn't think screaming would be a good idea.

"Oh, we've now got her out of her wits," the White One said. We? What the hell is going on? I had a slight panic attack.

"You know what, let's just knock her unconscious and then take her back."

"Don't you think we should release her from the chakra bonds before knocking her unconscious?"

"If we release her first, she has the possibility of escaping."

"I doubt it. She looked so angry before. Besides, we do not know what kind of chakra bonds these are. But if she was unconscious, her own chakra flow would naturally lessen and the person who put the chakra restraints on her might notice."

"If you had just let execution of the plan to me, we wouldn't be here arguing in the first place."

"Unfortunately, Leader told us to execute the plan this way. Weren't you supposed to scout out any nearby ANBU? How are you back so fast?"

I darted my eyes from the White One to the Black One (yes, those are my names for them) as they continued squabbling with each other. Considering my options, I could stay quiet and let them finish, and their argument didn't seem like to be ending soon. However, if I interrupted them, I have the chance of irritating the Black One, but the White One seems to be on my side.

I cleared my throat. Both of them stopped their argument-discussion and looked at me, the White One in expectance, the Black One in surprise and annoyance.

"Um, would you please free me from this chair?" I gave him (or them) the puppy look once again. The Black One rolled his yellow eye but complied. He broke the chakra restraints on my wrists and feet quickly. Before I could open my mouth to say thanks, I felt a sharp pain at the back of my neck, and fell into a black void.

"At least she's light."

"Can you at least try to be less cynical?"

"It's nicer than calling her heavy. Do you want me to say that?"

"No, but-"

"She smells nice. I don't think she's been in the cell for that long, at most a few hours."

"I'm sorry, I like the chewy kind."

"She doesn't look chewy to you?"

Drowzy, I grimaced because I knew they were talking about me. Cracking an eye open slightly, I could see the White One and Black One still in one whole body. They were arguing again. I looked down and saw my hands and legs bound together with…plant vines? I probed them with my chakra and they soaked it up like nothing.

"Those vines are chakra restraints. I'm afraid you can't break out of them." I nearly jumped as the creature appeared right in front of me, its venus fly-trap apparatus waving slightly in the wind.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zetsu. We are commonly referred to as one person. I see you are starting to get freaked out-"

"How the HELL are you one person?" I screamed. If my hands weren't restrained, I would've been waving my arms like a madman right now.

"I know, I have two personalities. However, we are one person," White Zetsu explained, scrunching his eyebrows at my worried –and scared- face.

Before I could reply, Zetsu leaned over and pushed his face in mine. His eyes wandered to my cheek before he dropped his face and licked me there, leaving a slimy trail of saliva. Zetsu drew away before I could bite his face off, metaphorically.

"I'm sorry, it's just that you taste good."

I was going out of my mind. This creature releases me from Konoha's prison, kidnaps me, and then licks me?

"If being in a damp prison cell for hours makes me taste good, you are officially insane," I bit back. I half expected him to just eat me right then, right there, but surprisingly, he chuckled, his fly-trap swaying slightly as he tried to suppress his laughter.

"I think Leader will be pleased."

Okay, done with this chapter! Now, if you'll be patient enough, I'll now offer a reward to those who follow these conditions...

I've recently edited my community, and I'm proud to say that we do have an archive up. The first three who either review or become a follower of my community, I will offer you a chance to let your favorite character (KH or Naruto) appear in the next chapter. The first (and only first) person to do BOTH, I will offer you a side story, yes a complete own chapter, with your favorite character from either KH or Naruto. And I will make it long, on purpose. Deal?

I only know ONE person who has done this so far, and you should know who you are :) congrats. PM me with what you want. (to those readers out there who do not include this person, the deal above still applies to you.)

If you are not a member of fanfic, no worries, you can still at least leave a review, and I'll ask you in the next chapter about your fav character.

If no one does this, I will continue with the main story. :P
