Others Ch 21
SUMMER BREAK HAS STARTED! :D Lots of updates for you guys, and I know exactly where I'm going with this story~ Lots of fluff and Kabuto coming too! ;D
cheeky half-demon: Mori's a little bit tied up right now…XD
Likes to Smile: You'll see soon Smile-chan! The answer isn't out in the open yet, I haven't written it yet~
Coke N Bleach is Zetta Slow: Okay…?
SnowsShadow: I know she's being a complete and total idiot, she just doesn't know it. He can have three and still survive! XD
XxRainbow-DarknessxX: I'm the new superhero! BAD MOOD KICKER! *dramatic music* So it's a good gasp? *hopes so* I really don't want to let you guys down.
Kakuzu's Angel Konan: :D I'm really happy that this story has been impressing you so far! I try to keep the people in character, especially Oro. He's really hard to write. *guilty sheepish smile* Yeah… I was inspired by Twilight to write this but I'm hoping it's a good thing you're not used to. It'll branch off soon hopefully! I love your username, by the way. It's making me think of a new series…
Kakuzu's Point of View
"She's been in the bathroom for almost forty-five minutes," I growl feeling my grip on the car door's handle tighten. After the thirty minute mark we sent a genjutsu'd Tobi to go check it out.
"There's the little f*cker," Hidan glowers as Tobi comes running back, chibi tears running down the front of his mask.
"Kumori-chan isn't in the bathroom!" He wails overly dramatically. I roll my eyes out of habit. Stupid little drama-
Hold on.
Not in the bathroom?
All four of my hearts skip a beat at the same time.
"We are not leaving until we find Kumori." I growl and Hidan groans, hanging his head
"F*ck,"
…line…line…line…line…
I glance around the corner where the suitcases are. Kakuzu had been nice enough to get mine for me, instead of letting the hotel get it ("That's five dollars per bag we're saving Kumori-chan.") They'd been shoved in the back of the creeper van, with the hatch left open. Oh yeah, really safe.
"Perfect," I breathe and see my suitcase right on top. Grinning to myself, I go to the van and start tugging mine out. It's almost loose when I hear a voice.
"Mori-chan!" I shriek in surprise and let go of the bag, falling flat on my back. Tobi runs at me, flinging himself at my torso. "Tobi missed Mori-chan!" He nuzzles his face into my stomach.
"Crap, Tobi you can't let anyone else see me!" I say shoving him off and pulling my bag out of the car.
"Why not?" He tilts his head to the side cutely.
"Um… Kakuzu and I playing hide and seek! You're on the other team Tobi, so uh, I've got to go hide again! I lose! Ha-ha-ha! Now close your eyes and count to twenty,"
"Tobi can't count that high!" He wails, chibi tears streaming down his mask.
"Count to ten twice?"
"Uh-uh,"
"Count to five four times?"
"Okay!" He puts his hands over his eyehole. "One…two-" I'm off and running before he can get to the next number.
…line…line…line…line…
"Okay," I mumble looking at a giant map outside of a train station about two hours away from the airport. "I can take the A train to the second to last stop where I'll get on the C train to the station. Then I can go to Suna and lay low while I figure out to go next," I nod and smile a little, happy to have a plan.
"Actually, it might be easier just to hitch a ride with a friend who can take you straight to Suna," A voice says behind me, putting a hand on my shoulder. I scream and withdraw anime-style, turning to see Kabuto grinning with his eyes closed at me.
"Don't touch me you creep!" I do some really horrible kung fu, moves that look a lot like Peanut-Fu.
"Oh come on now Maru-chan, we're friends aren't we?"
"No." His smile doesn't falter but he opens his eyes.
"Orochimaru-sama, my master, enlightened you to what you were doing to your beloved Kakuzu. I think that makes us something, right?"
"…" I mentally shrug. He does have a point.
"Allies, to say the least," He says with a grin. I shake my head and he sighs. "Fine, we have a mutual person who has shown us the light, does that work?"
"Good enough," I say with a shrug.
"You can trust me, Maru-chan. Orochimaru-sama is fond of you, I won't bring you harm," He pulls a key ring out of his pocket and smiles. "BMW~" He singsongs and I groan.
"Fine, but just take me to Suna, okay?"
…line…line…line…line…
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Kakuzu yells, making Tobi shrink away behind Deidara who shoves him back out into the open.
"T-Tobi saw Mori-chan, who said she was playing hide and seek with Kakuzu so Tobi counted to five four times while Mori-chan ran to hide," He squeaks, cowering again. Two seconds later he's pinned by his throat against the wall.
"Why the hell did you let her go?" He asks, his grip tightening on the masked boy's windpipe.
"Kakuzu he can't breath," Kisame says sighing as he pulls the two apart. "Honestly, what would Kumori think if she saw you choking Tobi?"
"I don't know, and I would ask her but I don't know where the f*ck she is!" He says making a lunge for Tobi's throat.
"Cut it out!" The blue Akatsuki member punches Kakuzu in the stomach, just hard enough to stun him for a second. "Look, we all want Kumori back, right? Fighting isn't going to do that. Split up into your teams and start searching everywhere and anywhere. We're not resting until she's back with us,"
