Kakashi was somewhat disappointed by spotting Inari's residence. He was having so much fun surfing, now he had to get back to work.
Inari was feeling light, sitting in the sunlight, feeling bliss overcoming him, "Life's great" thought the pre-teen with his eyes closed, meditating. Feeling Kakashi's presence, he calmly turned his head and slowly opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the masked ninja, operating a piece of bark.
"Inari!" called Kakashi "How's the fishing?"
Inari smiled, turned his attention to several large containers of fish. "I can feel the life in the water," answered the kid with a calm spaced-out voice
Kakashi was starting to get worried, hoping Inari wasn't starting to lose his mind, "Are you alright? You didn't try marijuana, did you?"
The kid chuckled "No, I've been meditating a lot lately, starting to get the hang of it."
"Thank god..." sighed Kakashi wiping the worried face off. "Oh yeah, the reason I'm here." Inari turned his attention to the ninja. "We couldn't find the pirates, most likely due to the information in Konoha's library being outdated."
Inari smiled, he was amused by the idea "Unlikely, do you know how long it takes for islands to shift? I doubt that the information you have is too incorrect."
"Perhaps, but I want to check again. Maybe something was missing from our records."
Inari agreed to this, earth plates shifting takes a while, but missing information is the more common and therefore more likely explanation. "I'll show you something," said Inari getting up and starting back to his house, Kakashi followed.
"Whathuhh?" Kiyoshi was starting to come around, not able to move anything. One would think this would be due to the fact that he was tied up, but he couldn't move at all. Tried to speak, the only thing that came out was "hshuuh?" couldn't see properly, or lift his head up to see what was around him, couldn't even open his eyes.
"Don't bother," said a female voice, Hikari's voice.
"Whryoo" gibbered the teen, not able to ask a simple question. Not being drowsy or tired, just that all of his muscles failed to move on command.
There was a small pause, "What?"
"Eurgh" said Kiyoshi as a gesture of giving up, and bobbed is head into a different angle, leaving it in an awkward position.
He was expecting to continue seeing darkness, instead someone had slid his eyes open, and he could now see a blurry light moving back and forth, he came to the conclusion that it was a light bulb hanging above him. His sight started shifting downwards, he was now able to see a silhouette of a person, a wooden wall and a black door.
"You all right?" asked the voice. The next think he knew, the silhouette lifted its arm, and his vision started rapidly shifting from side to side, he could only assume that he was being slapped.
"Uhnuha!" yelled the teen, being irritated by the constant motion.
"What did you call me?"
"Huh?"
"I'll come later, when the drugs have worn off," said the silhouette, stepping out the door, closing, and locking it.
"Drugs..." thought Kiyoshi "No wonder I was affected, no matter how dense my muscles are, the blood could always carry poison into my brain." with that thought past him, he tried to get feeling of his body, even if little, he wished to feel it. Bit his tongue "nothing." eyes were starting to close by themselves, he didn't have enough control or feeling in his face, couldn't force them open, he was just hoping that he wasn't drooling.
Naruto and Hinata were on the floor, tied up, pirates sitting in chairs on top of them.
Naruto tried to force his eyes open, no success. "Damn pirates..." thought the blonde "Smell pretty bad too."
Hinata was still unconscious, hair lying wavy and flat on the wooden floor, spread out in all directions. The unclean hosts were watching her for a while now, would do something stupid too if not for their female leader. Hikari would castrate them if they were to get jiggy with Hinata.
Several hours had passed, Hikari walked into Kiyoshi's cell to find him able to hold his head up. "How are you doing?"
Kiyoshi weakly opened one of his eyes "Hey..." The girl was slightly older, tanned skin, violet hair, yellow-green eyes, and a loose black outfit.
The girl came up to the tied up teen. Sat on his lap, spreading her legs, pressing her body against his, and bringing her face to his. "What were you doing on that island?"
Kiyoshi thought that this would be a good chance to lie. "Camping trip."
"Wrong answer." replied the girl, reaching for her pocket.
Seeing a syringe in her hand as she took it out of her pocket, Kiyoshi groaned "Not again..."
"Don't worry, this is just a truth serum, it won't make you any more relaxed." she leaned her head over to his ear and whispered, "I don't like my men floppy" injecting the syringe into his neck.
"So..." said the girl tossing the needle in the garbage, and sitting up straight to converse with the exceedingly drugged teen. "What's your name?"
Kiyoshi's world was spinning, he felt as if he was talking to god. "Kiyoshi Inamotou" he whispered in reply.
"I'm Hikari, pleased to meet you. Now tell me what you were doing on that island."
"We were drinking and sleeping." replied Kiyoshi
The girl became displeased, so rephrased the question "What's your business around these parts?"
"Oh haha, why didn't you ask so?" Hikari was starting to get inpatient "There is this mission you see, and we were supposed to find these dudes to take this box away from them."
"What box?"
"A treasure chest!" yelled Kiyoshi and started laughing.
Hikari stared at him, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"You tell me! What was that stuff you gave me? It's pretty funny..."
Hikari thought to herself "I didn't give him that much, why the hell is he so affected?"
"As I was saying, these dudes, what do you call em... you know, you're one of them..." snapped his fingers "Pirates! That's the word, pirates. They stole the treasure chest thing, and we're supposed to get it back."
Hikari looked at the door and back at the teen she was sitting on. "Tell me about yourself."
"I'm Kiyoshi Inamotou, my favorite colors are green and black, I like cherry pie..." Kiyoshi kept listing all sorts of his traits, Hikari sitting on him, listening intensely to his deepest secrets.
Ten minutes into her 'research', the door burst open with five men storming inside. "Hikari!" screamed one of them "Why are you keeping this fucking slime alive?!!"
Hikari's face was being changed into a pissed off expression. She slowly got up, with Kiyoshi still happily chattering about his likes and dislikes. "Katsuo... can't you see that I'm busy?"
"Screw your busy, this asshole killed twenty seven of us and injured forty nine!" yelled the muscular pirate on the verge of ripping Kiyoshi's head off.
Hikari closed her eyes, trying to contain her anger. "That's mostly because of your recklessness and/or incompetence" replied the girl in the face of a guy who is four times bigger than she is.
"I'm going to kill you!!!" screamed the pirate swinging his massive arm, aimed for the girl's face.
"Bad move" whispered the girl, disappearing on the fist's impact, and reappearing on it.
The man's expression changed into something that slightly resembled fear, but mostly terror. She had promised the crew to never use her powers against them; he knew he wouldn't live past what she was about to do.
She lifted her palm, particles of sand and dirt from all over the room started to gather into a small ball floating in her hand. After flexing her thumb, pinky and index fingers, the ball started smoking, eventually glowing and melting completely into a floating ball of lava.
The petrified pirate stared up at her, and retracted his arm to make her fall. As she was falling, she shoved the small ball of lava into his face, melting away skin, fat, muscle, bone and eventually releasing it to burn through the brain. The pirate fell over, twitching violently, an after-effect of death.
She turned to the others "Anyone else want to say anything?"
The rest of the crew ran out screaming, slamming the door shut behind them. "Jack offs..." scoffed Hikari, then turned to the happy and unaware Kiyoshi, talking his heart out. She chuckled and came back to sit on his lap.
Kiyoshi was starting to come around from the various poisons that lurked in his blood. Hikari, seeing that he was coming back to normal, reached for another dose of the foul substance. "No, wait" spoke Kiyoshi weakly, slowly rotating his head, as if being half-asleep or having a really bad hangover. "Don't..."
"And why not?" smiled the girl
Kiyoshi couldn't think straight; the only words that he could come up with were "Why are you doing this?"
But to Hikari, the question seemed to be a fair one. She leaned over and whispered in his ear "I want you."
Kiyoshi opened his eyes, snapped out of his hallucinations and daydreams "What?"
Hikari let off a seductive smile, nibbling his lip and reaching for a dose of some sort of poison in her pouch. Kiyoshi tried to move his head away "stop."
"Why would I?"
"Because there isn't any meaning to what's happening if I'm continuously drugged. It's like making out with a bag of sand."
Hikari backed off, looked at the syringe and set it aside "You're right." she agreed looking into his eyes "So how about it? Want to join my crew?"
Kiyoshi couldn't think straight "Life keeps flinging bricks in my face."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Kiyoshi's sight and mind were almost perfectly clear now; he looked down and up, observing the girl sitting on him. "Damn, you're hot."
"Is that a yes?" asked Hikari lifting an eyebrow, smirking.
Kiyoshi bobbed his head back and sighed, "I'm afraid not."
"What?"
"I'll put it this way. What do you find attractive about me?" asked the tied up teen
"The fact that you're nothing what you look like. You look like death, yet you're something completely different."
"You're wrong there." corrected Kiyoshi
"No I'm not"
"I'm a big mess of a human being," explained Kiyoshi "You won't like me."
Hikari climbed off of him, "You don't even want to try?"
"God, she's beautiful," thought the teen observing her, "Life just keeps on bitchslapping me."
"Oh I do." replied Kiyoshi. Hikari smiled, started advancing again, he carried on "it's just that I can't try."
The girl was pissed off, took the syringe and injected it into his neck, "Your loss. I'm leaving you; nobody's going to be around to protect you from the scum of this ship. They'll beat you to a pulp."
Kiyoshi started to feel numb again, losing the feeling of his neck, shoulders, arms, torso, and legs. "Shit" he said as his head fell back, neck unable to hold it in place. The girl left the room in the corner of his eye, "No, wait!" it was too late, she was gone.
The girl walked down the hallway, looking pissed off, everyone getting out of her way. The next thing she felt was a cold sensation in the corner of her eye, this was the first tear that she ever shed on the ship. "What the fuck is wrong with me? He's just a guy!" thought Hikari walking past metal doors and unfriendly faces, sniffing the hurt away, one tear at a time.
Kiyoshi sat there, leaning his head back. "Ouch" was his only thought at the moment. "Why do I fall in love with the most unsanitary girls?"
In the meanwhile Naruto was flipping around like a ringworm, took three people to hold him down. Hinata was wide-awake and thinking of a way out of the mess they were in.
Several minutes later, Kiyoshi's chamber was filled to the brink with the mob that was chasing him the other night. "You're going to pay for all of our comrades that you have killed," said one, punching him in the stomach.
