So this is a little chapter about what's going down in Kathryn's world without the extremely short attention span.
Don't get too excited though because it's not that good.
Anyways, enjoy the chapter.
I own your soul. But not Naruto.
Third Person!
Kathryn stared at the door to the cell, begging it to open. She had been taken back to their cell by Kabuto when Alice was taken away by Orochimaru and Sasuke. Alice assured her she would be fine, but Kathryn didn't believe her.
Kathryn knew Alice better than anyone.
She saw the slight, almost nonexistent fear in Alice's eyes.
Alice was scared even though she refused to show it.
"Alice." Kathryn whispered, grasping the charm on the necklace tightly in her hand. The gift she got from her one and only best friend. "Please be okay. You're the only one I have."
Kathryn knew she could probably hold her own for a time. And she could probably come up with a plan to escape seeing how she was just as smart as Alice in academics, but Alice had common sense and street smarts that Kathryn couldn't compete with.
Alice spent most of her time before they met the Akatsuki in her room on her laptop doing countless research on anything and everything. The other portion of her time was spent with Louis who was constantly drilling her and training her to hold her own both physically and mentally in just about any situation.
This didn't account for ninjas though.
Alice and Kathryn were geniuses, but their smarts could only get them so far and neither of them had the physicality to be a challenge for any ninja. She knew it wasn't realistic to fight them. Hell, it was damn near impossible, but Alice had determination.
Normally she was very level headed and calm.
But when it came to some things, and if she was angry enough, Alice would do anything to win. She was the definition of stubborn when she wanted to be.
Alice would die fighting rather than do the sensible thing and just give in.
Kathryn was rational, Alice took chances.
"You crazy bitch, if you leave me here I'll never forgive you." Kathryn pouted, pulling her knees up to her chest. "Don't try and protect me so much. That's all you ever do. That's all you've always done."
Alice had always gone out of her way to protect and defend Kathryn. Both girls were fiercely loyal to each other. Kathryn would do all in her power to keep Alice safe while Alice would go above and beyond her personal power to keep Kathryn out of any and all trouble.
Kathryn's head snapped up when the door opened and Kabuto entered with Alice in his arms. He set her down on the cot against the wall before immediately leaving the room. Kathryn gasped and hurried to her feet, scurrying over to Alice's side.
"Alice! Alice are you okay?" Kathryn demanded, kneeling at her friend's side.
Alice blinked, gazing up at the ceiling blankly before Kathryn's voice registered in her head. She moved her eyes and smiled slightly when they landed on Kathryn. "Kat."
Kathryn whimpered, pressing her forehead to Alice's collarbone. "Alice." Alice's voice sounded so weak. It wasn't hoarse so Kathryn knew she didn't lose it while screaming, but she could tell Alice was in more pain than she was willing to admit.
"You okay?" Alice sighed. Her eyes remained locked on Kathryn but they were heavy and pained.
She nodded. "I'm fine. Are you alright? What did they do to you?"
Alice smiled. "Good. I'm okay. Just a little tired. They just questioned me. I didn't tell them anything so we're good." Her eyes drifted closed.
"Alice! Stay awake. Please don't go to sleep on me." Kathryn begged. "We need to think up a plan to get out of here."
Alice forced her eyes open and stared at Kathryn without really looking at her. "Do you have your phone?"
"Yeah." Kathryn confirmed, withdrawing the red contraption from her pocket. "What do you want it for?"
"Have them track us by your phone." Alice sighed, fighting to keep her eyes open. "Text them or call them. Electronics are your area of expertise."
Kathryn had discovered that Alice and her phone were still able to call and text. However, they could only text and call each other. It was enough though. Alice had left her phone back at the base with Kisame.
"Will they be able to do it?" Kathryn asked.
"You're awesome at stuff like that, Kat. You always have been. I know you taught Hidan and Sasori. Itachi insisted that someone learned just in case. I told him about how good you were at doing stuff like that." Alice said with some amusement in her weak voice.
Kathryn smiled. "I've had a lot of practice." She looked at her cell phone and ran her fingers over the buttons in thought before dialing one of the many numbers she knew by heart.
"Good girl." Alice praised. "I'm leaving it to you, Kat. I'm tired." She sighed and closed her eyes. "Just make sure that Sasuke and Orochimaru never find out about your phone." She yawned. "Wait a while before you call them. Just in case."
"I know." Kathryn whispered. She grabbed Alice's hand when Alice started to drift off. She held the phone up to her ear after a while of just holding onto Alice's hand, pressing the call button and listened to the well known ringing.
More Third Person But With Akatsuki!
Kisame sighed and rested his chin on the palm of his hand. He was sitting in the kitchen, watching Sasori and Konan tend to the huge wound on Deidara's head now that he was finally awake again. He had passed out soon after Sasori had brought him back and he had been out most of the day.
Now he was up and demanding they go after Alice and Kathryn.
Kisame didn't disagree with him. He didn't want his Alice or Kathryn anywhere near that snake. The fact that Orochimaru had taken them pissed the shark off to no end.
It was nothing to how irritated his partner felt though.
Itachi had been deathly silent since they returned. He said nothing as he gave Kakuzu Hidan and his legs. He also remained silent and emotionless every second since. Kisame was worried that Itachi would snap.
The closeness and depth of his partner's relationship with Alice was both surprising and relieving. Kisame was glad that Alice and Itachi were so close and attached, but he was surprised by just how attached and close they were.
"I wanna go get Kathryn, un!" Deidara said for the hundredth time in the past hour. Sasori sighed and jabbed at his head slightly harder with the antiseptics as he cleaned the slice in the blonde's head.
"Shut up Brat." Sasori sighed. "We all want to go and get them. We cannot just run into this blindly though. We have to think it through."
Deidara pouted. "But Danna! Who knows what that snake bastard could be doing to them?" He shook his head. "I'm worried about them, un!"
"We all fucking are Deidara." Hidan snapped from his spot beside Kisame. Kakuzu sat next to the Jashinist on his other side, sighing tiredly. "Alice is probably fucking driving him up a fucking wall though. She gets so fucking bitchy when shit doesn't go her way."
Kisame chuckled. "That's true. I bet she's using sarcasm that would make you proud, Sasori. Though, Kathryn's probably driving them crazy too. You all know how hyper she gets."
He saw Itachi close his eyes from the seat on his other side.
Itachi really missed Alice. You could practically feel the worry radiating off him.
Konan opened her mouth to comment but was cut off by a loud ringing coming from Kisame's pocket. Frowning, the shark withdrew the offending ringer out of his pocket.
It was Alice's phone. The contraption had been silent the entire time he had it, but now it was ringing loudly. He raised an eyebrow curiously as he looked at the screen to discover the cause of the noise.
His eyes widened. "It's Kathryn."
"ANSWER IT, UN!" Deidara shouted. He would have lunged over the table if Sasori hadn't held him still.
Kisame complied immediately, bringing the device up to his head to listen.
"Kathryn?" Kisame wondered.
A sigh was his first reply. "Kisame." Kathryn whimpered. "You don't know how good it feels to hear your voice."
"Put it on speaker." Sasori stated. He pressed a button on the side and Kathryn's voice suddenly sounded through the kitchen. "Are you alright, Kathryn?" He demanded. Concern for his brat could be heard in his tone.
Kathryn whimpered again. "I'm okay Danna." Her voice shook as she sighed. "Alice isn't. I don't know what they did to her." She pouted. "She's so weak right now. She finally fell asleep about an hour ago. She told me to call you guys."
Itachi stared at the phone, his usually stoic face was clearly shocked and worried. "What happened, Kathryn?"
"I'm sorry Itachi. She was protecting me. Orochimaru was going to torture me too, but Alice talked him out of it." Kathryn stated sadly. "Sasuke and Orochimaru questioned us but Alice's sarcastic answers pissed them off. She went off on Sasuke. It was actually pretty funny."
"Kathryn, they didn't hurt you did they, un?" Deidara questioned.
"No Dei. I'm fine." Kathryn assured them. "Alice said she was fine before she passed out, but I know she was lying."
"I was not fucking lying. I am fine." A rather weak voice that was unmistakably Alice's snapped from somewhere. "You're just going to make Itachi flip out. Shut the hell up. I'm tired as shit. You talk so damn loud."
"Alice." Itachi stated with a sigh. Kisame snickered at Alice's feistiness.
"See what you did? He's worried now." Alice sighed. "I'm fine Itachi. Don't worry. It'll take a lot more than that to hurt me. Your brother punches like a six year old girl by the way."
"Sasuke hit you?" Itachi demanded.
"Yeah. I pissed him off." Alice stated. "Not too hard to do though. He's worse than I am sometimes."
"I find that fucking hard to believe." Hidan scoffed.
Alice laughed, showing all of the present Akatsuki just how weak and in pain she was. "Hey Hidan." Kisame saw Itachi wince at her pain. Alice wasn't fine. That much was obvious.
"Alice was all for sacrificing Sasuke to Jashin earlier. He gave her a migraine from when he knocked her out." Kathryn said with a slightly more cheerful tone.
"Good fucking work you crazy bitch!" Hidan praised.
"We can praise me later. Right now however, we need to tell you guys something. We'll need Hidan and Sasori first off." Alice said calmly. "Kathryn is going to talk to you now. I don't think I'm going to be very useful right now. My head is fucking pounding."
"She needs to sleep." Kathryn told them. "Danna, Hidan do you guys remember what I taught you how to do with Alice's phone? Do you remember how to track my phone?"
Sasori nodded but then realized Kathryn couldn't see him. "I remember. Why?"
"Because we can track Kathryn's phone using Alice's so we can find them and get them back from that fucking creepy snake bastard." Hidan stated.
"Hidan's right." Kathryn stated. "We can't talk for too long just in case they come in here to get us. We can't let them know we have contact with you. It's too dangerous, plus we'll lose the phone if we do. Don't call us unless you need to. We'll call you whenever we can."
"Wise decision." Kakuzu commented. "There's no telling Orochimaru's reaction to that kind of information about you two. Keep the phone hidden, Kathryn."
"We will Kakuzu. And I'm really sorry for getting kidnapped on your birthday." Kathryn pouted. "We have to go. You guys know what to do now so we leave the rest up to you. I love you guys. Dei, listen to Danna please."
Deidara chuckled but the amusement in the gesture was replaced with worry. Sasori squeezed his partner's shoulder reassuringly a second later, sensing Deidara's worry.
"I promise, un." Deidara stated. "We're coming to get you as soon as possible, yeah."
"I know." Kathryn whispered.
"Kathryn, is Alice awake?" Itachi wondered.
"Yeah." Kathryn confirmed. "'Tachi wants you."
"Yes?" Alice wondered.
Itachi stared at the phone on the table. "Alice, please refrain from angering your captors. Do not give them a reason to hurt you."
"That's easier said than done." Alice sighed.
"Alice." Itachi said in a serious tone.
"I know Itachi. I'll do my best. But I'm not letting them hurt Kathryn. I don't care if it means I'm nothing but a stump." Alice said firmly. "No scolding me. You can stare at the phone as much as you want Itachi Uchiha. I win this argument. Now, I love you guys. But we need to go. So we'll see you when we see you."
Sasori sighed. "She's so straight forward."
"You know you love it Sasori." Alice joked. Her voice was suddenly a whisper. "Gotta go. Someone's coming. Bye."
Kisame frowned when the line was cut and the call ended abruptly. "So when are we going to get them?"
"You may all go sometime after you all get a good night's sleep. If Deidara is better by that time." Pein's voice said from the doorway. "I will not have you rush into Orochimaru's lair while you're tired and distracted. You'll be nothing but useless."
"But you don't know how long Alice and Kathryn will fucking last!" Hidan protested. "What if the snake bastard is already set on fucking killing them?"
"He won't." Pein assured him. "Orochimaru is probably interested in them because they have no chakra. Not to mention Sasuke will probably try to use Alice against Itachi."
"That much is true." Sasori frowned. "How would he know of their relationship though?"
"He probably tortured Alice in front of Kathryn to get it out of them. Or Orochimaru did." Itachi stated. "Alice wouldn't let Kathryn get tortured. She said that herself."
"That would make sense." Kakuzu stated. "We should get some rest now. That way we can go and get them as soon as possible."
"I'll work on tracking Kathryn's phone." Sasori stated. He picked up Alice's phone and began fiddling with it. "Kathryn taught Hidan and I how." He looked at Hidan. "Get some rest. I might need your help with this."
"You got it puppet fucker." Hidan said with a smirk. He got to his feet. "Let me fucking do it if you can't do it yourself." Kakuzu followed his partner out of the room with a sigh.
Sasori sighed. "Come on Brat, let's get you some rest. You need to heal up if you're going to go with us."
"Yes Danna, un." Deidara obeyed with a pout.
Kisame and Itachi rose too. Itachi was certain he wouldn't get a lot of sleep but Pein was right. He needed to be at his best so he could save Kathryn and Alice.
Alice needed him.
"Sasori, I'll ask Zetsu to go and scout the area once you've found their location." Pein stated. "Let me know when you've found it."
"Sir." Sasori stated obediently before ushering Deidara out of the room. "I'll find them quickly." Just hang on brats.
Next chapter will have a bit of a show of Alice's "questioning". It's not going to be too gruesome because that's not what this story is about. If you want some darkness, go and read something that's not sarcastic. I love gruesome things, but I'm not going to put that in here.
So my psych class is doing projects on serial killers and Kathryn and I are doing it on Edmund Kemper. That guy is fucked up. He's huge for one. And some of the shit he did is just warped. However, as I was reading about what he did, I was cracking up laughing about it. My psych teacher sent me to the counselor's office because I couldn't stop laughing about it. So now my parents and teachers think I'm insane. I mean, the guy used his mom's skull as a dart board. That's fucking hilarious and I don't know why.
On a side note so you guys don't start questioning my sanity(you probably already do) I was playing the lava game at school with my entire Spanish class and my friends from the class next door came over and played it with us. It was fun and totally worth it. Our teachers were playing it too.
Fun Fact: Kathryn is in the top ten percentage for her academic skills except for in History. She knows wars and that is it.
Answer: I adore everything about Zetsu. I love his split personalities. Cannibalism is a little weird, but hey, he rocks it. I personally wish he had more screen time because he's awesome. But in general, I love Zetsu as a whole.
QotC: Favorite thing about Kakuzu? If you don't like Kakuzu, you should be tentacle raped. But you can tell my your opinions anyway. :)
I know I said I probably wouldn't be updating for a while. But I typed this bitch out in my business class with Sethy-Poo cheering me on. He was actually playing games on the laptops we have in the classroom and occasionally looking over my shoulder. My brain is fried so my chapters might suck for a week or so. I literally think AP History 24 hours a day. I had a dream about the Revolutionary War just for fun last night. Weird thing was that Hidan was in it. I woke up and looked around my room like "wtf?"
I'm a strange individual. But I'm rambling so I'm gonna stop.
Bye my dears. Thanks for all the reviews and views. (Expect that lemon up in the next few days)
XD
