Amber

I chased Hidan around the base, who easily avoided my attacks and pretty much everything else.

"Come here!" I screamed as I chucked a kunai at his head, he stuck his tongue out childishly.

"Make me!"

My face turned red from anger and exhaustion, mostly exhaustion at this point. Finally I gave up and leaned against the wall he came back and towered over my slumping form.

"What?" I hissed at him.

"Aw tired already?" I slapped him weakly and he laughed, I rolled my eyes.

"Hey I'm apparently immortal now so don't piss me off anymore then you already have."

He only smirked to that and pinned me where I stood, "Why? It's so much fun to see you flustered with nothing to say."

"God why do you hate me," I said while looking up at the ceiling. I got a vague sense of someone telling me they didn't hate me but I may have been imagining it.

I froze when I heard an ear piercing scream down the hall. Wasting no time in shoving Hidan off I sprinted towards the noise despite my tiredness.

I made a grand entrance in the kitchen by skidding to halt and hitting the fridge. I saw several things, Luna was passed out in Tobi's arms, Kisame looked slightly mortified and pissed, Hidan had ran with me and was now squishing me against the wall.

"What the hell happened?" we both screamed and I hit Hidan in the back of the head before moving out of his reach.

Tobi shrugged, "I just told Luna-chan the truth."

I gave him a look, "What truth? Are you gay? I'm not surprised."

If I was watching this through the TV I would've seen a metaphorical vein pop out of his head, "no silly," he sounded pissed even with his 'cute' voice, "Oceanna-sempai is dead that's all!"

The information didn't sink in, "What."

"She's dead!" he repeated, a little louder.

I could only stare at him, not believe his words when a sudden rush of anger filled my entire being.

"I'll kill you!" without thinking, I swung my weapon up over my head and I landed in the spot he was just standing in. Instead he reappeared a few feet away, Luna held tightly in his arms.

"Sempai!" he screamed out as I chased after him, "Tobi didn't do anything! It was all part of Itachi's plan!"

Again, no one moved, I grabbed him by the collar, "what plan!"

He started fake fumbling with his words, "w-well Itachi 'wanted' Oceanna to help his brother change his mind, but he knew if he didn't get rid of her then she'd try to save him at the final battle. Pein wanted to get rid of her too so he agreed to send her on the mission and then Zetsu-san had to kill her, I watched to make sure she was really dead."

I scowled and threw him down on the ground, he barely avoided dropping Luna, "like hell. Itachi wouldn't do that."

"How do you know sempai?"

"Because he tries to avoid conflict!" the part about Pein killing her made sense so it didn't surprise me all that much, but Itachi helping? Absurd.

Even Kisame agreed with me, "I must admit that I agree, Itachi wouldn't do something like that, not unless he had his reasons."

I heard a groan and from behind me Luna started sitting up, immediately spotting Tobi she jumped up and hid behind me.

"Ask him!" was all Tobi said before bounding away, I growled and tried to chase after him but Luna's tight grip held me in place.

"No it could be a trap," she said into my shirt, I rolled my eyes and patted her head.

"Damnit," I felt my expression soften but suddenly Luna went limp in my arms.

"Uh Luna?" she was unconscious again, "great," I hauled her up over my shoulder and dragged her back to Hidan's room.

"Whoa why are you putting the bitch in my room!"

"Fuck off, she's staying here tonight so you can either sleep on the floor or bunk with someone else."

I shut the door in his face just as he was about to say something, I laughed silently to myself.

Luna twitched slightly and I didn't know what to do so I just stared at her.

I blinked a few times before sitting down next to her. I sighed heavily and Luna suddenly sat up, bumping her head into mine, "god…"

"What? Uh muffin!"

I raised an eyebrow at her and shook my head, "what the hell."

"Oh uh, sorry Amber," she said sheepishly while rubbing her forehead.

"Ok so why did you faint?"

She bit her lip, "um…" when she didn't answer I became concerned.

"Luna," a knock on the door alerted the both of us, the door opened and there stood Tobi. Dear Jashin.

I stood up and in front Luna, growling, "what do you want brat."

He chuckled and shut the door, the entire world became muffled and I couldn't hear anything but our breathing, a jutsu.

"I wouldn't be calling me a brat if I were you," he said while waving his finger back and forth like one would a little kid in trouble, "after all I'm the one who has your friends life in his hands."

I gripped my weapon, "you can't have Luna," he shrugged.

"Not who I was referring to but you get the point anyways. To be frank, I'm getting rather tired of you two so you have two options," I scoffed.

"And what would that be?" I spat out.

"Start doing missions or die," I raised an eyebrow.

"What kind of missions?"

"For now, we'll have you two work together in retrieving the nine-tails," I stared at him.

"Either you really want us dead or your just plain stupid. What the hell could we do against the Kyuubi!"

"Much more than I could, you have the power of knowledge over me, therefore you know his weak points."

Unfortunately it was true, I looked at Luna who stared back, what were we going to do?

"I can't do it," I answered automatically, he stared at me, "Shikamaru knows who I am since I've saved Hidan's sorry ass."

"Hmm, then you can do something else, Luna?"

"No," I could almost see his smirk.

"And why not my Luna-chan?"

I turned around to see her frown, "because you suck, that's why," I laughed at her answer, it was so me-like.

"Amber would you mind leaving the room for a little bit?" he asked in his annoyingly sweet voice.

I rolled my eyes and tightened my hold on m weapon, "yes I do, in fact, mind quite a bit."

Tobi shook his head and in a flash he had a strong grip on my arm. He shoved me out the door and slammed it in my face. I slammed my weapon against the door but it did little to help my situation.

Hoping for the best, I went off in search of Hidan. I found him in the kitchen staring at the fridge.

"The hell are you doing."

He turned abruptly to face me, "hey you know how to cook right?"

I stared at him, "hell fucking no. Unless you want the kitchen to blow up by someone other than Deidara."

"Can your other bitch cook?"

"No! Oceanna's the only one that can cook."

"Jashin damn…"

I sighed and opened the fridge to grab a water, "whatever," I said while trying not to let my sadness leak through.

Hidan took my water from me and walked away, drinking it. I grabbed another bottle and went the opposite direction as him.

I ignored the pain my chest of losing Oceanna and I tried to walk on. I saw Kisame standing the middle of the hallway talking to Itachi and I went over and shoved myself into the conversation.

"Hi," I said boredly.

"Uh."

"Do you need something Amber?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah did you send Oceanna on a mission?"

He gave me a strange look mixed with his natural glare, "Yes why, and who told you that?"

"Tobi told me, and apparently she's dead."

Itachi stared at me for the longest time. Confused as much as me.

Kisame walked away a little while later, probably to sulk or something. No I'm kidding, probably to do shark-things or whatever I don't know.

I didn't know what to do now, but when I walked back by Hidan's room I saw Luna come stumbling out, looking annoyed.

"Amber just kill me now," she complained while collapsing into my arms. Of course she was joking and I had to drag here sorry ass back to her room.

Dumping her on the bed, I sat with her for awhile. We tried to silently configure things but we didn't know how to with the aspect of Oceann gone actually dawning on us.

Oceanna was dead, it was too shocking to believe.
