Lauren's POV
"You have got to be kidding me."
Currently, we were standing outside building where we were supposed to randevu with the mission associate. And as it turned out the associate we had come to meet was the founder of a music club, the hottest music club in Oto to be precise. Ya know why it was the hottest music club in Oto? Because it also had strippers, that's why.
Guys + girls in slutty outfits + awesome music = big bucks for the founder.
And honestly, why the hell does Oto even have a music club? Isn't it like the worst kept nation in Naruto?
I shook my head, deciding not to question it all that much.
"We need normal clothes to get in," Tess announced looking at the club entrance from the tree we were staked out in. She pointed to a sign that was located next to the huge bouncer who was letting in people.
NO NINJA'S ALLOWED.
I sighed and rubbed my temples. No way was I wearing some slutty outfit if that's what she meant.
Tess grinned. "Luckily for you guys when I was in Suna I went shopping and was nice enough to buy you all outfits along with some for myself," she said pulling three sealing scrolls from her hip pouch.
Taylor cheered happily and grabbed the scroll which was meant for her, running off into the trees somewhere to get changed. Tess tossed me the second scroll and gave a reassuring smile when she saw how I was eyeing it suspiciously, before turning in the opposite direction of Taylor leaving me alone to get changed in peace.
I watched as my new wardrobe puffed out of the scroll and I have to say, Tess did a really good job.
Laid out on the ground in front of me was a black mini dress. It was strapless and had numerous layers of fabric flowing down like a miniature ball gown. The dress was accompanied by a pair of black shredded legging and shredded red gloves that were fingerless. And shoe wise I had a pair of blood red flats that laced up around my ankles.
I beamed at the shoes happily, incredibly glad that I had gotten flats instead of heels. I am a sneaker person at heart, so I don't work with heels. Besides, I'm already 5 ft 8 in, how much taller do I need to be?
I quickly undressed and redressed into my new outfit, inspecting myself as much as I could without a mirror.
I had just finished putting my hair into a high ponytail when Tess and Taylor both returned.
Tess was wearing a gray mini dress which was similar to mine; hers however was flat and went down to her knees, her only other accessories being a pair of green platforms and an emerald necklace. Taylor on the other hand wore an aqua party dress that had black lace sprouting from the bottom. She also wore a pair of black heels and long fingerless gloves.
Tess snapped her fingers. "Oh, Lauren, I almost forgot."
She pulled a small box from her pocket and tossed it to me. "These are for you too."
I gave her a questionable look before opening the jewelry box. I smiled at what was inside.
"Thanks," I said happily, eyeing over the body jewelry in the box. In total there were 10. There were 9 studs and 1 hoop, the exact amount for all my piercings.
I placed 3 of the studs in the lobe of my left ear and 3 more into the lobe of the right. I took 2 more of the black studs and put two into the cartilage of my left ear before putting the last into the cartilage of my right ear. After I had all the holes in my ears filled I took the remaining hoop and carefully maneuvered it through my eyebrow. Yes, I have an eyebrow piercing, get over it.
"Now you're really back," Taylor stated nodding in approval at my new appearance. I laughed and flashed her a grin as the three of us headed back towards the club.
The mission was starting.
…
…
"Deidara, make your bird fly away until the girls are done changing."
"Hai, leader-sama, un."
"Aww…"
"Hn. Be quiet, Kisame"
"DAMMIT, YOU BASTARD! IT WAS ABOUT TO GET GOOD!"
"Damare, Hidan."
"You guys are all idiots."
"I agree with Konan. Oh, don't deny it, you wanted to see too. N-No I didn't!"
"TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!"
"Be quiet, brat. They're regrouping again."
Sure enough the three girls had regrouped and were now in their disguise outfits or rather, party dresses.
Hidan smirked devilishly. "Damn those three clean up good."He whistled.
He was wacked on the head by both Kakuzu and Itachi who were peeved at his ungrateful comment.
"Oh, Lauren, I almost forgot. These are for you too."
The Akatsuki turned their attention back to the TV just as Lauren caught the small box which was tossed to her. She smiled and started to pull numerous black studs.
They all were surprised when she started to place the jewelry in various places. Even Pein raised an eyebrow, he had no idea that the young brunette had piercings, let alone that many.
"Holy shit," Hidan stated once Lauren had finished putting all her piercings in, "now she's even more fucking hot."
Once again he was wacked on the head by the Uchiha and miser, but this time Konan also joined them. Sasori rolled his eyes at the immortal and turned back to the TV along with the others.
…
…
The bouncer had let us into the club and we were now swerving through the crowds of people trying to find the mission associate. Across the bar a group of guys were shooting suggestive looks at us and I rolled my eyes, like that was ever gonna happen.
Tess and Taylor pulled ahead through the crowd and I took up the rear. Suddenly a rough hand latched onto my elbow and I turned to meet one of the guys who had been looking at us from across the bar earlier.
"Hey there honey," he said sounding completely sober, which was surprising, "how would you like to come with me. My buddy's over there and I can show you a real good time."
I looked past his shoulder to see two other males smiling suggestively and waving at me. I scoffed and pulled my arm out of his grass replying, "Uh, no, thank you."
I turned to catch up with Tess and Taylor but he stopped me again and this time I was really pissed.
"If you don't get your fucking hand off my arm in the next five seconds I will shove my foot so far up your fucking ass that you'll wish I would've just killed you."
…Yeah, I was pissed.
He raised his hands and backed off heading back to his table where his two buddies were making fun of him.
"Lauren." I turned to Tess and she motioned for me to follow her. "We found the guy."
I sighed with relief and followed her to a large circle of couches where a 25 year old looking man sat with two hookers on either side.
"You must be Takahara-san," I addressed sticking a hand out. He eyed it for a second before taking it in his.
"I'm guessing you're here for the scroll."
I nodded and he smirked. "Well, I'll give you the scroll on one condition." I raised an eyebrow and he continued. "I'll give you the scroll if you can beat my band in a competition."
I nodded, it seemed fair enough. His smirk widened. "So it's settled, if you win you get the scroll and if I win I get you."
"Agreed- wait, WHAT?"
DID HE JUST SAY HE GOT ME?
He smirked at my reaction and stood up waving his hand in the air. I turned to see the three guy's from earlier coming towards us.
"This is my band," he announced once the three had reached us. The three guys smirked confidently at me before strutting towards the stage, getting ready to perform.
I walked back to Taylor and Tess to explain what had happened.
"AW, HELL NAW," Taylor said shaking her head, "No one is taking you away from me. Let's kick their asses!"
I laughed at her sudden protective attitude.
"What song are we gonna play?" She questioned. I closed my eyes and started considering it.
"Do you guys still remember how to play Impulse?"
Tess laughed. "Of course we do, don't we Taylor?" The blond nodded happily and I sighed with relief. We were so going to kick their asses.
The three guys walked up on stage and took their rightful spots. The guy who was hitting on me turned out to be the lead guitarist. He sent me a smirk and I smirked right back at him. Oh, it was so on now.
The entire building quieted down and they started to play. To my surprise they were actually pretty good, but I guarantee you, we were going to be so much better.
Herro :3 I'm up early again.
We're leaving to go (farther) up north in, like, 40 minutes. My mom and my neighbor decided it'd be a good idea to carpool (-_-) so they're going to be over here soon so we can pack the car. We all have doubts that there will be enough room for all of our shit but I don't really have a say and my parents don't want to back out so we'll see what happens…
Oh, and fyi, I have all the piercings Lauren has minus the eyebrow piercing :3 I have 5 piercings on my left ear (2 cartilage and 3 in the lobe), and 4 in my right (3 in the lobe and 1 cartilage). I wanted an eyebrow piercing but my dad and mom forbid it so I gave up on it since I already have too many…but I still want a tattoo for my 16th birthday next year! XD
I'm still debating whether or not I should get a tenth piercing to even it out…I have this thing against odd numbers and I don't know why. For example, the TV volume always has to be on an even number no matter what, I don't know why, but it just does. If I do get the tenth than I'll have all the same (ear) piercings as my Sensei…she had a tongue piercing and a nose piercing too.
Well, I'll see if I can get the wifi hooked up to my laptop when we get there. If so, than you'll all get another update later :P I already revised the next chapter XP
So, I'll catch ya on the flipside!
Please review!
