Hello everyone! :D

I'm a little sad at saying this but… this is the last chapter of 'Things Happening To…' :(

It has been really fun to write this and I plan on revising a couple of chapters that I don't like (namely Naruto's and Jiraya's… and maybe Kankurou's), so I won't put the story on complete yet… if you want drop by to see if you like them better too, you're welcome to do so! :) I already have the ideas so it won't take long to replace them…

As for this chapter, there are some 'heavy' SPOILERS CONCERNING THE LAST TWO CHAPTERS OF THE MANGA, you've been warned!

I'm finished for now.

Ja ne,
Temari 88 XD


THINGS HAPPENING TO…

TOBI/MADARA

"I came here because I want to join forces with you. I'm sure you'll find my abilities useful." said Kabuto, eyeing him with that creepy half-Orochimarentine (Orochimaru + serpentine) face.

"Why do you think I need you?" replied Madara, not showing the surprise and the slight goose bumps crawling down his arms – the mask and the ridiculous clock were of some use, it seemed. "I am well prepared for the war without your (dubious) help…"

"Oh, but you see, Madara-kun, I haven't absorbed Master's DNA for fun, I—"

"Oh really?... Because the last time I saw you, you were positively trying to get into his pants…" Madara commented, interrupting Kabuto whose face had turned a light pink.

It took Kabuto a couple of seconds to regain his cool, then he swiftly lifted his hands and slammed them together before kneeling on the ground to press them onto the dirt; with a cry of "Edo Tensei!", five coffins erupted before Madara. The creep fan of Orochimaru's rose to his feet with a glint of satisfaction in his Orochimaru-like eyes and a smirk; on the other side, the leader of Akatsuki stood watching his long lost paw— uuh, companions standing (quite dead) a few feet from him.

"I offer to give you back these five here, if you let me join your ranks." said Kabuto.

Madara kept silent. Inside the coffins were Itachi, Sasori Deidara, Kakuzu and— who was the last one?? Hidan? With a frown, the man spoke up. "Who's that last one there…?"

"Huh?!" Kabuto walked in front of the last open coffin, looking at the corpse. "Don't you even recognize the people who's worked for you?! That's Nagato!"

Now Madara was really confused. "Nagato?! That can't be him!" he crossed his arms in front of his chest, determined. "How can that be Nagato…??"

"Are you saying I got the wrong body?!" Kabuto was deeply offended – even if a sliver of doubt was beginning to enter his mind.

"I'm saying that's more likely to be Hidan!"

"No, I'm positive the corpse over here is Nagato's."

"And I'm positive it is NOT. Nagato has black hair, not white! Fuck, not even Pein had white hair but orange, all six of them!!" countered Madara, now annoyed at Kabuto's insistence when he could perfectly see the hair color. "I might have only one hole for my eyes, but that doesn't mean I'm color blind, dammit!!"

"No. I repeat: that's Na-ga-to." Kabuto had crossed his arms too.

"You want to know another thing…?" Madara spoke up again. "That body has shoulder-length hair; Nagato's hair went all the way down his back!"

The two ninja stood there, staring each other in the eyes, glaring and swearing inside their minds; each was certain of what he'd said and refused to let the other win this 'battle'… they were more than ready to stay there all day until one gave up – unlikely to happen, since Kabuto had had the persistence to try and get into Orochimaru's pants for as long as he'd served the Snake Sannin and Madara had planned to take over the world, no matter how long it took, and wasn't stopping even if everyone laughed behind his back at his idea that the moon was a Byjuu (did I mention how ridiculous that is, by the way…?).

Then, Kabuto remembered something. A trump card; an ace card; a card that would probably turn the old ninja on his side. He smirked, cackling evilly even if he had not paid the credits for such (because the rights of the Evil Cackle™ were primarily Shukaku's and Orochimaru's), slamming his hands on the ground for the second time.

"Let's see what you'll say after seeing this, eh Madara-kun?"

A sixth coffin sprung up, its lid falling down with a dull thud. For two long minutes not a single sound was heard from Madara, while Kabuto just kept showing that creepy smile so like Orochimaru's ones: he knew why the other had tensed up suddenly. Madara's left hand, abandoned at his side, began twitching like there was electricity running through his body: he was thoroughly shocked.

"Is that— is that—" the leader of Akatsuki couldn't finish the sentence, but Kabuto knew what he was trying to say.

"Oh yes, it is." was all the half-snake said. "I've already placed a soul inside it…"

As the last letter had just come out, Madara had promptly turned his back on the other and thrown his arms into the air before— "GYYYYAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!" —running away at full speed as the zombie started to walk out of the coffin.

"'Ara-chan, come on, mommy has come to greet you…!" was saying the revived corpse, following Madara around the room – keeping up with him – "Don't be rude, musuko, I want to see your face! It's been such a long time, what with that awful mask?! Come on, let mommy see you clearly, 'Ara-chan!!!"

"Nooooo!!! Stay away from meee!!" Madara continued running around with his mother hot on his tail, while Kabuto stood placidly next to the five coffins with the dead Akatsuki members, enjoying the show and thinking it was a pity he didn't have a camera… still, now Madara's alliance was secured.
