Omake: The Dating Scene. Episode One.
No POV
Morbid Apology.
Hidan was pacing in his room trying to figure out a way to make up to Aiko. Yesterday they had a slight disagreement about what type of torture should be used on victims for information, and that lead to Hidan ruining his good shirt because she played "ABC Stab" with his organs. That lead to him losing his temper and mentioning to her about Jashin, for the tenth time, and that lead to her stomping off and him trying to find a good seamstress to sew his head back on. It was times like that, that made him wish Kazuku was still around. He was at a loss of how to make it up to her, since she hadn't talked to him all day, and he really did miss all those times in the dungeon of hers, watching her work...and sometimes taking part.
He was amazed at her skill with any sort of weapon, which were all used with deadly efficacy but what he still hadn't figured out is exactly why she was a hunter-nin. She defiantly wasn't a regular one, considering her vast knowledge of keeping her targets alive for days at a time while extracting info...which really turned Hidan on when he thought about it. After wracking his brain for the final time he gave up, for the time being. He sure as hell wasn't going to actually apologize to her...at least not without the proper gift of flowers carved from skin and hardened with resin to present to her, another morbid way of Jashin, one which Hidan rarely used.
"Fuck!" he said stomping outside for some needed air. Upon making circles in Konoha, he just so happened to find Kori, who was shopping with Hinata for the day, "Kori!"
Kori turned around and smiled and waved at him, "Hey Hidan!"
He rushed over to her and decided that he may need some help with this one. Aiko was as beautiful as she was deadly and a jinchuriki in full a full blown rampage seemed like a tropical breeze when she was upset at something. He once saw her turn a tree into corks with one of her Senbon when she couldn't extract info from somebody. Sighing he caved, "I need your help. I made Aiko upset yesterday."
Kori backed off, "I am not poking that bear. Forget it. I once interrupted her work one day and my but still stings and fully remembers all twenty senbon having to be plucked out, hugging a cactus would be safer honestly."
"Well I want to apologize to her," he said looking away, "And neither I, nor the inspiration of Jashin can come up with anything."
"Boy you try to hard," mused Kori, "Okay she is one fry short of a happy meal when it comes to anger management BUT have you at least thought of something? You have to know how to apologize...or is this the gifting sort of apologize...she cut your sex life off didn't she?"
"Fuck yeah!" said Hidan, "And she threatened if I came anywhere near her, she would cut off something that was more personal than just turning me into a voodoo doll."
"Ouch," she winced, "Okay so she likes making people feel pain...right up your alley. I mean if you weren't a giant voodoo doll yourself then I would suggest that...Hmm. Well there is one thing I know that may perk her up and forgive you...where I come from it is considered art. Taking bodies of the deceased, who have volunteered, and placing resin within them to harden and then they are turned into artistic things...We don't have a fresh corpse, and no you aren't getting one...if you can find Mari, maybe she can help. Last time I saw her, she was stalking Deidara around the Memorial. Talk to both of them. I am sure Dei will love turning things into shrapnel for you. I will be over at the Hyuga Compound today, so you can find me there when you get Dei and Mari."
With that idea he used the body flicker technique to quickly find both Deidara and Mari. They were outside Konoha to be exact testing new formulas of Deidara's clay explosives...she even suggested some raw materials for him to use to make bigger bangs, brighter flashes, or incendiary bombs. Hidan spotted them behind a rock and was on his way over before he heard something.
"Shit! Hidan look...ouch," cried Mari.
"Beautiful...look he is even on fire!" said Deidara.
Hidan was pissed about having to feel the flesh being ripped and burned off his leg, and if he didn't know very good med-nin, and wasn't desperate at this point, he would have bashed Deidara's head into the rock he was hiding behind until it stopped being funny. Taking in a deep breath while putting out his leg, he limped over toward them.
"I need to borrow your girlfriend," teased Hidan, since he knew that subject was still tender to the blond.
"She is not my fucking girlfriend," said Deidara.
"Dude I don't want to know about your sex life," he teased again.
"That is it, I will blow your ass to the moon!" Deidara yelled while chasing after Hidan throwing random explosives around him.
"Cut it out," said Mari as she used a Earth Release on them to prevent them from moving. Though with Deidara, it wouldn't last long. Sighing she looked at Hidan, "Alright what are you doing here, immortal?"
"I wanted to ask a favor of you," said Hidan trying to wriggle free of the jutsu.
"Oh really?" asked Mari, "Of course, not many people ask me for favors because they really don't like me getting excited and talking to much, like I am now...oops. Sorry, Deidara is trying to break me of that habit."
"Well if he would stop being a fucking pussy and kiss you then maybe you would keep quiet for a few minutes," smirked Hidan.
"When I get my ass out of here, fuck heaven, I am blowing you to Hell!" said Deidara wriggling in the hole, managing to preform hand seals.
"Why would he kiss me? I am perfectly healthy, breathing correctly, and...oooh," she said when the thought finally hit her, "Y-you like me, Dei?"
Deidara quickly changed the subject, "Anyway, why do you need us, un?"
Hidan explained the situation and Mari was more than happy to help, and for some strange reason actually convinced Deidara to help. When they were ready, they headed back to the Hyuga Compound. Kori was already waiting for them, covered in all sorts of colors looking kind of flustered.
"What happened?" asked Mari.
"Er, me and Akira had a disagreement with what color his room should be painted after he had me change it randomly with my jutsu on a whim...well I lost concentration and it exploded. Things are alright, but both he and I look like cousins of Rainbow Brite," she said rubbing the back of her head, "I just hope this comes off before my date."
"So I brought the doll face and exploding wonder..what do we need to do?" asked Hidan.
"Ah, right," said Kori remembering why she invited them over, "Mari, I need you to create some doll golems to specifications that will take me a few seconds to draw out, Dei...just do what you do best, and I will need your assistance to Hidan. You are the expert of how things splatter..."
"Why would this matter?" asked Deidara.
"Well..I want a doll for her that shows a horrible death or various ways a person can die...Mari can make the 'corpse' and we can spend all day decorating it...well you can Hidan. I will leave a few recipes on my horror special effects with you if you need to make false flesh, blood, or other gore," said Kori, "I can only help for a few hours before I have to get cleaned up."
With that in hand, Kori finished up working with Akira Hyuga, and finally fixed his room to his liking and then helped Mari, Hidan, and Deidara. Between Hidan, Mari, and Kori, they had manufactured a few dolls made out of various types of materials; stone, paper, a jelly like substance, and wood. After looking at them Kori decided on making the stone the 'skeleton' while using the jelly substance as flesh, if she had the time to make more. Dei made various sized clay bombs and they exploded on different areas on the jelly and other materials so they could write down what happened. Though Deidara suggested tey use Hidan since he was immortal..but both Kori and Mari thought it was better not to. It was getting close to time for Kori to leave before they knew it and she wished them good luck before heading back to the Hyuga Compound to get cleaned up.
A few hours later, Hidan thought they had done well. After they pieced together the 'cadaver' he carefully took it back to where he knew he would find Aiko. She was busy as usual, though this time she was cleaning and sharpening her weapons that she kept, to help maintain them. Hidan knocked on her door, only to receive two throwing knives striking next to his face, and two inches below making him sing a higher tune.
"Well," he said, "I am fucking sorry that you are PMSing but I came to apologize."
Aiko stopped what she was doing and looked at him, "Are you sick? You apologize? Since when?"
"Since the most beautiful, deadly, down right sexiest thing walked in my life told me she was mad at me," he said, "Look here." He dropped the fake cadaver on one of her tables so she could look at it.
"Holy shit!" she said, "Is this real?"
"No, Kori wouldn't let me find a poor sacrifice for this...but it was a bitch to make, so I could see where she was coming from. About half of the local population of a small village went into making this," said Hidan.
"I love it!" she said hugging him before realizing what she did, "Alright, fine I forgive you.."
"Whew," he said, "If you didn't accept it, plan B would have gotten me in trouble with the neighbors of Konoha randomly disappearing..."
"Really?" she said, "Oh my god you are so sweet!"
"Eh," he shrugged, "Most call me an intolerable, insufferable, psychotic ass, which I believe you used yesterday."
"So what does it do?" she asked.
HIdan then showed her all the work that was put into the human-like sculpture. She could hang it various ways and pull back some of the jelly flesh to reveal places to keep her knives or other tools with the holding areas of the chest, where the heart would be, the arms of the doll came off and could be hanged or manipulated to look old or just recently cut off. the abdomen's left side would open out into slots that would reveal transverse slides of internal organs sliced in half inch sections, while the right would open up to look like they were blown up. The legs had special bamboo forged bones that had stones in them that would cause the wood to sound like it snapped when they were pressed or twisted a certain way. The face had a look of horror on it, and various parts were removable and the skin could be taken off to show the muscle or even bone underneath. To add a bit of 'cuteness' courtesy of Mari, the skull twisted off and in the cranium, there was a storage compartment full of things to make notes out of. Even with the new sparkle in her eye, she frowned a little looking around.
"Damn, I have to find a place to put it. So how heavy is this thing?" she asked.
"About a ninety pounds. It would have weighed more but whe had to hollow out some of the doll to make the fake junk and you really have to thank Mari for making it so fast," he said.
"I will, but I will thank you first, before torturing you for being this bloody brilliant," she smiled evilly.
The rest of the evening was filled with happiness for the two, with the exception of them getting too loud and having Itachi threaten to burn the building with them still inside if they didn't keep it down. Of course Itachi wouldn't have cared if it wasn't for Deidara cursing about it, Sasuke just going to his room sulking, Suigetsu and Miyuki cheering, and Kisame just randomly having a huge grin on his face while chuckling to himself.
The Dating Scene: Episode Two
I Hope You Dance
Miyuki was troubled to say the least. One of her best friends disappeared overnight, and her other friends Konan and Nagato were in the hospital in critical condition. She tried to do what she could, knowing since she was so close to the former Akatsuki Leader Pein, she wouldn't be able to treat him officially. Her mind was reeling about all the terrible things that had happened in the last few days, and she was mentally exausted. Suigetsu was starting to notice her well masked stress and decided to help out. He knew how she missed her former life, even though she would have been considered a criminal just associating with Nagato, much like he would have been if Sasuke didn't come back and Danzo was left in charge. He was already once put in a cage and he would be damned if he would run from a fight. Seeing Miyuki trying to hide her worry, made an unfamilar twinge hit Suigetu's heartstrings. Even training with Kisame wasn't helping him, when Kisame noticed he stopped the training.
"Kid, stop getting distracted. There is a war coming and unless you want to have your head severed off your body with your own weapon, pay attention," growled Kisame.
"Sorry senpai," said Suigetsu, "I don't know what is wrong. I can't help but feel upset when I see Miyuki trying to keep her burden of worry to herself. It is painful."
"Ah," said Kisame lowing his blade, "Well I am not the one you should ask those questions to. Perhaps Itachi can shed some light on the subject for you, or one of your other friends. Until you can get your head on straight, I won't be training with you anymore."
"What is a wrong? Gotten attached to my awesome mug?" teased Suigetsu.
"When you end up spending weeks at the same place with the same people, they grow on you, I suppose. I never really had a family and the only person I could come to terms with as far as friendship goes is Itachi himself. I am unfamilar with this whole familiy thing...so I would not be able to give you advice," he said.
"Still want to go back to the old life?" asked Suigetsu.
"Sometimes, but hell I can eat, sleep, and do whatever I want without someone trying to kill or capture me...It is boring but a interesting break from what I am used to. There are the amusing times of all of us trying to be in the same room together though, that never pans out well," Kisame laughed, "Sticking four former high ranking wanted criminals with shady backgrounds, two experiments, and I am pretty sure all but two of us are mentally unstable to a certain degree, in the same room leads to things getting messy."
"Admit it, you like it," said Suigetsu.
"I am just here until the war is over," said Kisame before walking off.
Suigetsu shrugged and went off to find Itachi. It didn't take long, Itachi was outside sipping tea while looking at the sky. Suigetsu sat down casually beside him.
Clearing his throat he began speaking, "What is on your mind?"
"How good it feels not to have to fight or wonder if I am going to wake up in the morning. I really have been trying to catch up on lost sleep," said Itachi between sips, "I just wish I had of seen the effects of my actions sooner. My brother could have avoided a lot of greif."
"Okay," Suigetsu said slowly, "Is that all you think about?"
"Sometimes," he said, "I wonder how my brother is going to grow up and be happy. I see all the friends he has made and try to do what is right by him from now on. Aside from that I am just happy being home again. I never thought I would see it again."
"Hm," said Suigetsu, "I have a question. Kisame said you may be able to answer it."
"Really," said Itachi raising his eyebrow, "What is this about?"
"Miyuki," he replied frowning, "I don't know. I feel a ache in my chest when I see her trying to hold together her small fragile smile. She is worried about everything and I am afraid she is going to break down. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I see," said Itachi, "While I am not the best person to ask, given that I killed my last lover, I will try to answer it. I think what you are feeling is shared pain to an extent. It hurts you to see her like that and you are guilty because you don't know what to do to help. Perhaps taking her mind off things would be a good start. Do you know of anything she likes?"
"I think so, she came from Ame and it used to rain a lot. I heard from Kori once that she liked rain," he shrugged, "I don't think I can change the weather for her."
"I am sure you can think of something," said Itachi, "You are bright."
Suigetsu smiled and went to look after Miyuki after that. After he found her, she was trying to smooth out her hair, and try to look away from him so he wouldn't notice the bags under her eyes. Sighing he looked at what she was wearing and figured that it wouldn't matter if she got a bit wet. Instead of her usual get up, Yuki had taken her shopping with Ino and got her some clothes. Today she was wearing a soft purple top with a design on it of a stick breaking in half saying 'oh snap!' with simple capris and some light colored sandals. He watched her carefully for a moment before he grabbed her wrist and asked her to follow him.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"You will see," said Suigetsu.
After an hour they were at the river near Konoha memorial. She stood there for a moment totally confused by the whole into the water, Suigetsu used his Hydrafication Technique to make the water rise up along with him. He smiled at her, "I know you miss the rain, so I thought I would give it to you." With those words he began to cause the river to have a small geyser, spraying water into the sky, only to have it fall on Miyuki.
Miyuki stood there for a moment before she sobbed. Suigetsu seeing her distress thought he did something wrong. So she smiled widely, and whole heartedly before trying to tackle hug the mass of water Suigetsu was occupying, "Thank you!"
When she just went through him she stood on the water's surface and began to twirl and dance while singing some of her favorite childhood songs out loud. After a good ten mintue dance or so, she was tired and the weather was turning cold. Suigetsu tried to keep her warm by hugging her until they got back to the compound. She snuggled into his chest before humming.
"Hmm. If I get a cold...best...one...ever..." she mused, "Thank you so much Suigetsu."
"You are welcome," he smiled before hugging her tighter, "Just please don't hold stuff in like that anymore. It hurt to watch you suffer like you did and I knew I couldn't do anything about it."
"You did more than you know," she said before sneezing, "Alright..this girl needs hot water before she freezes."
After that, they quickly got to the Uchiha Compound where Suigetsu made some hot soup while she took a bath and changed out of her soggy clothes. The rest of the evening was spent with them sitting quietly in her room talking about random things until they eventually fell asleep.
The Dating Scene: Episode Three
My Bubbles
Kori's POV
It was a beautiful day and I wanted to get out. After spending the night with Hinata at the Hyuga Compund I was itching for some excitement. Don't get me wrong they were slowly turning into decent people, and a few of them were wonderful, but things happened here at a snails pace. Neji had arrived from a mission late last night but I didn't feel like waking him up with my cold ass at night or this morning just so I could cuddle. So I thought of a better plan. Bubbles.
Neji was no doubt a bit worked up since his mission so I was going to give him a good morning workout...in the non-perverted variety to my inner fangirl pout of frustration and then let him soak in a bubble bath of lavender and vanilla. That would be great. So I waited until he was fully awake before I decided to hug him and rope him into my plan.
"Morning Neji," I said kissing him on the cheek.
"Morning..." he said before he stopped in his tracks, "Wait...you are up earlier than me. What gives?"
"Nothing I swear. Nothing broken, maimed, plotted, stolen, defaced, missing, injured, or any of the sort...promise," I said holding up my hands in peace.
I was jerked towards his body in a quick hug, "Okay I am dreaming...I have to be dreaming."
"I can rape you...it is never to late or early to rape you," I teased.
"Okay so you are my girlfriend and not one of those brain stealing...what were they called?" he asked forgetting my old world lingo.
"Body snatchers love, body snatchers. No I am not a body snatcher, parasite, zombie, vampire, or any more unusual or normal than I was yesterday," I said enjoying the hug," I just want to know if you are up for a spar."
"After the spar," said Neji, in more of a demanding tone than an inquisitive one.
"Just a bath...you alone..." I said, "You looked tense and I didn't really think sex-er-cise would be good for you."
"Alright," he said, "Sounds innocent enough. Are the bubbles going to dye my hair and or skin a funny shade."
"No," she sighed, "I am not impish today..maybe tomorrow someone will suffer at my hand."
Neji actually enjoyed the spar we had. I kept it so that it wasn't too intense but I would help work his muscles. After two hours of sparring that went by quickly, we were both tired and I ran him a bath, making sure it wasn't too hot or cold and adding the bubbles into the mix. Neji was taken back by the whole bubble bath thing and when he was clean, he stepped into the bath slowly. I was a little surprised at the look on his face, it was like the bubbles were going to eat him. I sighed and got clean myself while he soaked up to his eyeballs in the water looking at the white fluffy stuff surrounding him. Sighing I went towards the bath and he sort of jumped up out of the water.
"No, my bubbles!" he said gathering the foamy bubbles in his arms as if he was trying to protect them.
I lost it. I one hundred percent lost it, could not breathe, and was going to laugh myself to death. Oh my god, this was going into my mental vault for sure. The image of half foamy hair, cute pout, arms covered in the foam of him screaming my bubbles like a child was hilarious. What made it more funny was he looked down at the squished mass of mostly air as his arms passed through it.
"My bubbles," he said sitting down.
"Have you ever taken a bubble bath?" I asked after I whipped the tears away.
"No, always wanted to though," he said before narrowing his eyes, "This doesn't leave the bathroom."
"I swear on the next stupid embarrassing thing I will eventually do," I said before not even a moment later slipping on a puddle of water and smashing my face on the floor, "Damn it."
Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu: Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique: This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom. In addition, they can start another attack.
gunitatsuhiko: Well this is the first installment of the two part Omake of the 'relationship building' that I have. Thank you for your praise. I hope you like the morbid humor and sorta 'icky' fun I had with your OC relationship and Hidan.
Alpenwolf: Ah don't feel bad, I just recently switched to reading the manga and laying off the anime...atm. Ha, well hell if I can make OCs good enough to confuse people into thinking they are actually part of the Narutoverse I am doing good *victory dance*. Yeah but she is a fast learner...and she will be keeping Dei in line...just wait. Aw come on...it would be boring if he fell for her so soon like we have seen in the story/anime so far. He will deny it until the very end. The anime itself is pretty good, though it is kinda like one of those 'guy animes' lots of skimpy outfits and action...though I loved the story in it. That anime is right on up there with Elfin Leid...god I love that anime... Hey with the screenshot, it is the thought that counts with me sir.
River: Alright, Part one of Two Omakes. The next section is about YukixShikamaru, NarutoxHinata, MarixDeidara, and SasukexSakura. Some of you may or may not want to see what I do with the relationship involving two 'Cannon' characters. I will tease ya a bit, there is one very fluffy one, one awkward one, one funny one, and one sorta fluffy. A cookie goes to the one who pins the correct 'minisode' to the correct couple.
