Chapter 25

Getting Back and Music

Rei

It was almost over… Almost over! Just a few more miles and this journey of hell would be over! We were walking through the woods, Kakuzu had Yugito's half dead body(Holes through hands included) slung over his back, and Hidan decided it would be fun to slightly stab me with his scythe every five minutes and say,

"Bipolar" He said once more, interrupting my thoughts. A small sensation rippled through my nerves as his annoying ass red scythe pricked the skin again. I was ignoring it because the pain felt rather good, almost like that acupuncture you see on T.V, now this didn't mean I was emo, I'm sure that's just some stereotype. Hidan probably thought it hurt me, rather then keeping me awake. What really annoyed me was how he kept chanting the word 'bipolar' over and over again. I was ready to snap and fulfill my 'bipolar' title, and Kakuzu may have felt the same way too. This theory was secured when a shuriken flew past Hidans face, slitting the ear.

"KAKUZU YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!" Hidan screamed, waving his scythe around crazily at the zombie.

"I warned you to stop." Kakuzu said bluntly

"BUT I DIDN'T HEAR YOU!" Hidan retorted

"Maybe if you listened more often-"

"ARE YOU SAYING I DON'T FUCKING LISTEN? YOU ASSHOLE!" Hidan screamed, cutting him off

"You just proved my point right there…" Kakuzu muttered

"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO FUCKING PROVE?"

"That you never listen to shut up and listen to me for onc-" Kakuzu started once more

"MAYBE I DON'T WANNA, BITCH!" Hidan screamed again. Kakuzu tried to get another thing in and Hidan cut him off with a stream of curses. I decided this would take a while, and sat down, my back against the trunk of a tree. It was pretty comfortable, firm ground beneath me; ridges in the trunk to in a way 'massage' my back. I closed my eyes and was about to drift off before something fell onto my head and clattered to the ground beside me. Oww.

I slowly opened my eyes irritably and looked to my side. The sight was pretty curious; a small red scroll, white paper wrapped around the middle. I picked it up, ignoring the yelling from Hidan and Kakuzus fight. Upon closer inspection I found there was writing on the side, correction, a single word. My eyes got wide when I saw the word said simply 'Rei', what the hell? I looked around, was there someone there? It could have been Hidan or Kakuzu; this weird scroll could have flown from their pocket of grasp as they were fighting right? Yet why would they have a mini scroll with my name on it? I shuddered at the thought of one of them liking me; I always jumped to conclusions like that. I looked up. It had hit my head, so it could have fallen from above… There was nothing there but trees and the sky, was someone hiding there? How would they know my name? This was getting creepy now wasn't it?

I tucked the scroll away in my kunai pouch(That's how small it was) and rose from my spot against the tree.

"C'mon you guys, I don't want to be the last group back." I said. Hidan stopped mid-slash to look at me, while Kakuzu took this chance and started back walking towards to hideout, Hidan immediately turned back to see Kakuzu walking away and dancing triumphantly

"HA HA BITCH! RUNNING AWAY LIKE THE DAMN COWARD YOU ARE!" Hidan yelled.

"Actually he just wanted to-" I started

"Let him think what he wants." Kakuzu said from behind his back. I sighed and ran to catch up with him so as not to be left with Hidan, I had already nearly become a sacrifice a couple days ago, no need to take another chance.

I was starting to feel suicidal at the long silence that stretched the next ten minutes, but that was unnecessary because I saw the entrance to the hideout appear some way away, this was something exciting after the nearly-get-killed-by-a-two-ton-blue-enflamed-cat-thing incident.

"FINALLY! This dumbass trip was getting on my damn nerves!" Hidan exclaimed, he spoke for me, and maybe even Kakuzu at this. I looked at both of them; I had absolutely loathed being with them this entire time. I darted for the entrance and ran into Zetsu.

"Oh, it's you, Rei isn't it? We were just about to await your arrival. Where's the Jinchuriki?" Zetsu said/greeted.

"Oh, that's nice! Kakuzu has it, I merely dashed ahead." I answered nervously. Zetsu nodded, and Hidan and Kakuzu entered the hideout. Kakuzu dropped Yugito to the ground and Hidan stretched his arms out.

"Ahhh nice to be back after this damned hun-" He started before Kakuzu turned around

"We need to go bounty hunting." He stated and dragged Hidan along. A stream, or rather an ocean, of curse words came from Hidans mouth as he was dragged along on another long 'adventure'. I chuckled at his misfortune and turned back to Zetsu.

"Do you have any idea where Hailey is?" I asked him.

"She's been going back and forth from the basement to her room." He answered. I blinked

"You guys have a basement?" I asked incredulously.

"We just found out some days ago." Zetsu shrugged, taking his leave. I watched the plant man walk away, and then I looked back to the half-dead Yugito still lying facedown on the floor. I almost felt some pity for her, but then I remembered how she'd tried to kill me, twice actually. All traces of pity vanished and it gave me some pleasure to see her lie there, helpless, vulnerable. I snickered and walked back to our room.

I saw Hailey lying down on the bed and holding something in her hand, tapping away at it every now and then.

"What the hell is that?" I asked her, she jumped and fell off the bed. She cursed some, rose, and fell down on the bed. She lay there for a moment, then she lifted her head slightly so she could breathe.

"What are you doing here?" She mumbled

"Just got back!" I stated

"That's terrible." She grumbled

"You never answered my question." I pointed out. She got up at this and raised the thing in her hand. I stared at it for a second, it was rectangular and it's sides were rounded, a button on the bottom and a big screen taking up most of the front. My eyes got wide

"I-is that an iPod Touch?" I nearly screamed, my voice cracking a bit. Hailey smiled

"No, it's an iPhone, but either way, I had something in my POCKET before I got here." She teased. I immediately lunged at her and grabbed the iPhone from her grasp I sat on the bed and had turned it on in mere seconds, plugging the headphones into my ears.

"HEY! If you wanted to use it could have just asked me!" Hailey protested, I took one bud out.

"Um, sorry… I don't know what came over me!" I exclaimed. She snorted

"Has your addiction of music become severe? I know we all have it but seriously? Don't need to nearly break it!"

"I said I was sorry." I huffed, going to her iPod section. I scrolled through the music

"I hardly know anything on here." I muttered

"Maybe the fact you've been away from Earth for about a year explains anything?" Hailey reminded me. I clicked a playlist and looked at the music on it, a weird look on my face.

"You, you have the Beatles on your iPod?" I asked her, giving her a look

"So? They're AWEEEESOME!" She explained dreamily

"But that bands soooo old!" I retorted

"You hate them?" She nearly yelled at me

"Not really…" I mumbled

"Then you won't mind if I…" She started, my eyes got wide

"D-DO WHAT?" I demanded, I half expected her to cover my face in a sack and kidnap me. You can imagine how much I deflated when she started to sing the lyrics to the song 'Strawberry Fields Forever'

"That songs a bit creepy." I commented. A smile came across Haileys face

"You think THAT songs creepy? Well then, you don't know the music very well at all" She stated. I felt myself shudder as she switched to singing the lyrics to 'Maxwell Silverhammer'. That was a rather creepy song. The minute she hit the chorus again she grabbed up a pillow and sang:

"BANG BANG Maxwell Silverhammer came down, upon his heeead, BANG BANG Maxwell Silverhammer made sure, he was dead." She said cheerfully.

"You're all mad here." I muttered, she ignored me, being caught up in singing that creepy song.

I went back to looking at her music. One that caught my attention was a playlist that said 'All Time Favs!' and being curious and all, I tapped it. I looked to some of the music, all foreign titles compared to the stuff I remembered. I went on one song that was titled 'Mr. Saxobeat' and the music that played was weird. Had music already ventured oddly? I immediately chose another song titled 'If I Die Young' and it seemed rather country. I was a bit confused to find the same song of the same name underneath it. I tapped it in curiosity. What played were the same words, just this one had a catchy beat. I started to tap my foot.

I stopped when I noticed Hailey giving me a look.

"What is it?" I asked her irritated

"You like The Band Perry now don't you?" She asked me. I looked at the iPod and saw that this was whom the song was from.

"How'd you know?" I asked, she pointed to the one headphone I had taken out

"You turned the music up pretty high" She laughed. I glared, that was all she had to say? Yep, people were going mad here.

"Here, take out the headphones, I wanna hear some music too!" Hailey said after she noticed my annoyed look. I did so and no music came out. She had to turn it up once more. The song If I Die Young had ended, now a new song started to play.

"Ooooh I love this song!" Hailey exclaimed

"What is it?" I asked

"Dirty Dancer, by Enrique Iglesias! Featuring Usher and someone I can't remember.." She answered. I cocked my head; she sighed and sat down on the bed opposite of me

"You know that guy who sang that song that goes like I can be your hero baby, I can kiss away the pain, I will stand by you forever." She reminded. I breathed as I remembered him by listening to the songs from a while on the radio.

"Now, since you didn't remember him, we wasted some of this good song! Now I have to replay it!" Hailer muttered, grabbing up the iPhone and clicking repeated, the song began again. The minute the music came into play, she climbed onto the bed and stood on top of it. Singing along with the lyrics

"She dont wanna love, she just wanna touch, she's a greedy girl she'll never get enough. She dont wanna love, she just wanna touch, she's got all the moves to make you give it uppp! She's a dirty dirty dancer, dirty dirty dancer, never ever lonely! She's a dirty dirty dancer, dirty dirty dancer, you'll never be her only!" She sang, repeating the chorus again along with the song. This was a bit of a bad song, but the beat was a bit addicting. Before I knew it we were acting childish and jumping up on the beds, the song on repeat and us singing along like the idiots we were. Little were we aware, but someone was was watching us and observing how much like idiots we were being. Not just one person, but two people.

Note: This was a short chapter… But today was a half-day and I decided to get a chapter for you guys in ONE sitting! I've only done that once before! YAY FOR ME DOING SHIT RIGHT FOR ONCE! YAAAAAY!

XD I like how I'm just making all of this music make appearances, the truth is that usually when I'm writing chapters I have my 'Favs' playlist playing on shuffle XD the thought of the song Dirty Dancer came into my head while it was playing… I rather hate the dirty lyrics, but the beat is SO DAMN CATCHY! XD

I just imagined Hailey carrying her iPhone around singing 'I got an iPhone of music! I gotta iPhone of muuusic! And guess what it pla-ays?' You know, like a Jar of Dirt parody XD

My mind is so free and random on Fridays… XD
