Hello my readers! I hope you guys are enjoying 4th of July as much as I am!
I don't own Naruto, or walmart.
Kimiko's POV
I wandered around in absolute darkness for a good 10 minutes before I found my first idiot.
Hidan.
He was by the medicine, planning on stealing some and drugging our food or something like that…
He was sitting against one of the stands, looking rather helpless and wide eyed.
"Hey, Hidan." I said, beaming evilly at his fear filled reaction.
"GAH! BLOODY MARY HAS RETURNED!" He yelled, throwing random nearby objects at me.
"Ow! It's just me you baka!" I said, giving him a signature whack in the stomach.
"Oh, it's just you. How'd you get here?" He asked, looking in the direction I was most likely in.
"Night vision goggles." I said, adjusting them a little.
"Now, c'mon! I still have to find everyone else!" I said, grabbing his hand and leading him back to the front.
I dropped him off then walked in yet another random direction. I started calculating everyone's possible location. I found my second idiot and third idiot while I was wandering around, thinking of where I would actually find them.
Sasori and Deidara.
I found them near, where else, but the art section.
What amazed me was the fact that they chose to argue about art at a time like that.
The topic?
What kind of art the current situation could be considered as.
"Hey, Deidara, Sasori." I said, half expecting something to hit me in the head.
"GAH! DIE!" They both yelled, throwing random objects at me.
"Watch it, you bakas!" I said, giving them both light shoves.
"Oh, Kimiko!" They both said, dropping the objects they were preparing to fire at me.
"And here I am trying to save you guys…" I said, grabbing their hands and leading them back to the front.
When I dropped them off, I walked off in yet another random direction.
4th idiot was easy to find.
Kakuzu.
He was in the minefield known as the check out.
It's a minefield to me, because I RUN INTO EVERY FREAKING THING.
It took me a full 20 minutes to get to his location, where he was still ripping cash out from the cash registers.
"Kakuzu! Save some for me!" I said, swatting his hand away from the register.
"GHOST!" He yelled, throwing wads of cash at me.
"Quit it!" I said, swatting him again.
"Oh, it's just you." He said, relaxing.
"C'mon, we can come back later." I said, dragging him away from the registers.
"But I wanna stay…" He whined in a childish voice.
I dragged him back to the front and had Hidan hold him down.
5th idiot was Zetsu.
I found him by the gardening section, holding small talk with some flowers.
"Hey Zetsu?" I asked, shielding my head in case he was going to fling things at me.
"Oh, hey Kimiko." He said after realizing who I was, as he had already flung a few things at me.
"C'mon…. You can talk to the pretty plants later. What about Hana? She's at home, alone! And you're talking to OTHER PLANTS…" I said, dragging him away from the flowers.
When I got him back to the front, I found that Miyu had only found half her crew, where with us; I only had a few left.
6th and 7th idiots were Leader-Sama and Konan.
I found them in the cutlery section, next to the knives, about to make out.
"Save it for later, please. There are children around." I said, preparing to have sharp cutlery flung at me.
Luckily, I was able to dodge all of the sharp objects thrown at me.
"Oh, it's just Kimiko." Konan said after a little while of knives being thrown.
"C'mon, you guys! I wanna get back to the front before I come to m senses and have a panic attack." I said, grabbing their hands and dragging them back to the front.
When we got to the front, I flopped down on the ground and took a big sigh of exhaustion.
"Did we forget anyone?" Konan asked, ruffling my hair lazily.
"If we did, I'm not going to get 'em this time. I had enough things thrown at me for one day…" I said, closing my eyes and planning on drifting off for some sleep.
"Tobi! We forgot Tobi!" Konan said, fake urgency in her voice.
We all tried to act like we cared, but it only lasted a second or two.
"Oh, we'll just leave him." I said, waving it off and dropping my head onto the floor, where I planned on going to sleep for a bit.
"Hey, what about all those other people? There are still a few people missing." A young man said, pointing at me.
"Hey kid? Can you go get them for us? My brother and his friends are still out there some where." Another young man said, looking up at the darkness, a slight look of worry on his face.
"Why? I barely rounded up MY crew! Now you want me to round up yours?" I said, still lying down.
"They're about your age, and I figured that you'd know where to look." He said, shrugging.
I bolted upright.
"Eh?" I asked.
"Well, since he's about your age, I figured that you'd know where to look for him." He repeated.
"But… You're his brother! Plus, you're a boy! You'd know where to look. But since you insisted…" I said, grabbing a flashlight and walking off into the darkness.
I didn't even know any details about the boy I was supposed to find, so I guessed I was gonna have to go around and save ALL the cute boys. ;)
The first place I went was the boys' clothes. More specifically, the teenage boys' clothes. I found a group of boys sitting in the clothing rack. You know, when there's a round clothing rack you just HAVE to crawl under and sit inside.
"Hey. Are you guys okay?" I asked, peering under. They all looked wide-eyed, helpless, and absolutely adorable.
They all jumped, and then sighed in relief that they were being rescued.
"Oh good. We thought we would be stuck here for the rest of the night…" A boy muttered, crawling out from under the rack.
Suddenly, the lights came back on.
I turned off my flashlight.
"Wait, you're a girl?" He asked, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Well that doesn't seem to matter out here, now does it?" I said, crossing my arms and smiling at them.
We went and saved a few other boys who were trapped by the video games, and we started to walk back.
We were still in the back of the store, and as we were beginning to walk back, the lights went out again.
I made a faint attempt at a squeak, and I accidently hugged a nearby boy.
"S-Sorry…" I said, backing off of him a little.
"Where's you're flashlight?" He asked, not even affected by the fact that I practically attacked him.
"Right…" I said, pulling it out of my of my pocket, trying to keep my eyes closed.
It wouldn't turn on.
"Great, the batteries are dead…" I said, shaking it so they could hear the batteries clang around inside the now useless flashlight.
"I guess we're just gonna have to keep walking…" He said, sighing half nervously and half annoyed.
We walked for a half hour or so, doing nothing but talking, just to make sure we were close to the group. I wasn't much of a talker around new people, so I plainly kept a loose grip on that boy's forearm.
Eventually, he decided to hold my hand, as it was easier than clinging to his forearm. I secretly enjoyed it, and I think he did too.
When we were almost to the front, we heard a loud thud coming from behind us.
I squeaked and hugged whoever was next to me out of reflex, and it worked to my advantage in the log run.
"What was that?" Someone whispered.
"I don't wanna find out…" The boy I was hugging said. We all ran forwards, even though we had NO idea where we were. I kept bumping into things and falling over, but do you think that actually stopped me?
I was actually ahead of everyone by a few feet, and it was just my luck to trip right when I got into seeing vicinity of the base camp we had in front, causing a massive dog pile of children ages ranging from 11 to 15.
I, being very unlucky and being the smallest of everyone in the pile up, was at the very bottom of the pile, and was crushed.
After 20 minutes or so, the person at the top of the dog pile got off, letting everyone else get up. I was suffocated, and it took me a minute or two to get up, as fresh air never felt so good. Sure, there was the time I got locked in the closet with Tobi, but that was only for 5 minutes. This was 20 minutes. I had to crawl to the base camp, and I collapsed on the ground, not ready for any more adventures any time soon.
"Hey! It's 4th of July!" A boy yelled, holding up his watch and showing that it was midnight.
"You guys wanna light some fire works?" Someone asked.
"INSIDE?" Everyone screamed.
"No! I wouldn't be that stupid! I was just kidding! Sorta…" He muttered, an anime sweatdrop on the back of his head.
"I HAVE AN IDEA!" I said, getting up and running for the door.
I knocked on it several times.
The manager and his assistant came walking from behind a corner.
"Yes?" The manager asked, leaning forward, expecting me to do something stupid.
"C-Can you let us out to light some… fireworks? It's the 4th of July and… We're really bored." I said, feeling everyone staring at me.
"No." The manager said instantly.
"W-well, can you l-light the fireworks?" I asked, giving my kitten eyes.
"No." He said instantly once again.
I looked back before decided to pull the dirtiest trick I could.
"P-please?" I asked, trying to work up some fake tears.
"No!" The manager said, starting to get annoyed.
"A-Alright… I-I'm sorry… for b-bothering you…" I said, letting my fake tears fall, dropping my hands to my sides and looking off in a random direction in a fake attempt to hide them.
"Oh, hold on now… No need to cry…" The manager said, his expression softening.
"N-No, I'm fine…" I said, waving him off and wiping some of my tears away.
He thought it over for a minute, and then he came to his decision.
"Oh, alright." He said.
A few people ran and got some fireworks from the display and the manager opened the door and took them.
"You okay?" Konan asked, ruffling my hair.
"Yeah. I had to stab myself with my nails a few times, but it worked." I said, wiping up the rest of the tears.
For the next hour or so, we watched fireworks.
Happy 4th of July.
