A/N:Sorry it took so long, I'm making this story and a vampire one, also reading a lot of books for school. I hope you like it, this one there is a conversation that is random but oh well. Thanks for reading and for the reviews! I do not own Naruto but I do own a Death note and my Shinigami! XD Bye bye all!
Her week of rest was now over and she had a pile of homework and class work to get finished in only a few days. Shi nearly made her topple over with a bone crushing hug in the morning and Ash saw Min at lunch time. The new immortal student known as Hidan and her week off was the buzz of the school during the day. It annoyed her that every where she went people kept asking her about her injuries, she had taken the brace off because her arm was better and she didn't need people asking her more then they need to know. Her bruises didn't hurt anymore but they were just a light faded pink now, disappearing and melding into her normal skin color once again. Ash plopped her bundle of finished homework and class work on to her bed and then looked outside the window at the bright blue colored sky that was being blocked by the many buildings. She was glad that school got out at two thirty; she had managed to get a lot of her work done at lunch. She only had a story to read and review, and a few packets that she could zoom threw like that. She stood in the middle of her room, wondering what to do now. There wasn't anything on TV, stated Hidan a few moments ago. She placed her arms behind her head and walked out of her room. Her face suddenly fell at the scene. Hidan laid on his back, stationed on the ground and panting like a dog. The sliding screen door that led out to the balcony was wide open. Now that she felt the air, it was boiling in here. It didn't really bother her too much. She couldn't help but snicker at Hidan and he shot her a deadly look, daring her to chuckle or snicker one more time. She rolled her eyes and went over to the thermostat; it was all the way up to eighty. Dad must have turned it up last night.
"Not use to the heat, immortal?" she asked him while turning the thermostat down to a lower number and then making her way over to the sliding door, she ignored the rude gesture he made at her and closed the door. If he was hot why didn't he come and ask her to turn down the dang heat, must be that boy ego or something. It was stupid, him thinking he could withstand the heat until he got a stroke.
An idea struck her like a grill of a car and she rushed over into the kitchen, she had forgotten all about them. She had been saving them for a hot day and her little friend was nearly passing out from the heat. She opened up the freezer and dug down into the cold dark abyss, searching for something. She finally pulled out her hand, two electric blue popsicles was held in her hand and she whistled to Hidan making him sit up before tossing him one. He looked at the blue ice with a weird look and then back at her before cocking a silver eyebrow upward. She walked over and took a seat next to him before giving her Popsicle a small lick; a small smile appeared on her face she urged him to do the same.
"Try it; it's called sea salt ice cream. It's a rare flavor bit good, like adding salt to sweet ice cream." She licked hers and watched him. He popped the ice cream into his mouth then bit down on it, taking a piece off. He started to cough, almost choking on it. "No! Not like that, you're supposed to lick it! Not bite the damn thing whole! You'll get b-." She took one look at his face. Too late… do I really have to explain everything to him? Ugh, so hopeless. She couldn't help but smile and eat her own refreshing cold treat, waiting for the cool air to come and blow upon them. She couldn't help but think that it is strange, since Hidan showed up she changed. She quit her gang, to be the daughter her father always pictured. She is less harsh with people. It made her feel strange. She had changed, Ash had changed but not by big amount. She was still the trouble making teenager, who has few friends and likes to get in fights but she doesn't always have to hide it because… there is another trouble maker standing beside her.
"It's… good" he remarked after some time. She nodded and watched him. She was introduced to this ice cream a long time ago, when they started to move place to place because of her father's work. It was popular in some places, but not many.
"Yeah, someone introduced the flavor to me. We both liked it but" She paused and laughed, "Dad hates the stuff, he says that it even sounds nasty." Hidan kept eating his share of the sweet-salty ice treat; it was slowly melting down to a smaller size.
"Who introduced it to you?"
She smiled and then held up a finger before scrambling to her feet and dashing out of the room in a hurry, almost slipping on the floor. Hidan sat and waited with a bemused face, she sure could run fast. Ash came back in with a picture frame in one hand with Popsicle in the other before sitting down once more. She gestured the picture frame to Hidan and he took it, holding his treat away so it wouldn't get sticky. He stared at the picture for a long time; it took him only a manner of seconds to guess who it was. Her mother… The woman in the photo was tall and stood with one hand raised in a wave; the other was down at her side. She wore normal clothing, jeans and a blouse but with a leather jacket over it. She had dark brown hair that reached pass her elbows; it flowed over her shoulders and had many waves. Her eyes were the same color of Ash's eyes, gray.
"That's my mom; she's actually a lot like me. She had a temper but could be nice. She even got in a lot of fights in high school since she didn't have any parents to point her in the right direction…." She trailed off, "That's why she would always say to me that family is very important."
"Did the broad die?" He asked, looking at Ash. Ash only nodded and started to eat her Popsicle.
"Yeah, about two years ago she passed. Dad would always leave for business trips while Mom and I stayed at home. She went to meet some of her friends one day and was hit by a drunk driver. Dad was upset for a while and I started acting out more, we didn't know how to express the loss. Dad would always stay in his room when he got home and would even call home to listen to her voice on the answering machine. I on the other hand would lash out at everyone at school, even the teachers."
"Death is hard to witness" Hidan interrupted before she could go on, "Everyone… back then was able to kill someone without regards to another fucking person's feelings. It was the way we survived but sometimes death wasn't the answer. People have different ways of handling death; some even get revenge by killing that person who took away someone dear…"
"Hunh… I get what you're saying… it's different for everyone but…" She looked up at the ceiling. "I've only wanted to kill someone one time, which one time was when we got that call stating that my mother was killed by a drunk fuck."
"You miss her?"
She inhaled and exhaled deeply, "Of course I do… but she wouldn't want Dad and I to go on suffering like that, so it got better after a year passed because we still missed her but she never disappeared." It was quiet after that.
"We do talk about random things when it's bored…"
