Chapter 50
Sanity and Red Eyes
Jessie
I've screwed up…
I was stupid
How the hell am I going to get out of this?
I quickly snapped myself back to reality as I felt the heat of the fire in front of me
I quickly stepped back so the heat was comfortable rather than scorching
Sitting down on a beanbag I looked around my 'hideout'. I had taken a simple big cave, and made it rather modernized; beanbags were the main sitting areas, along with some regular chairs. A fire smack in the middle of the main area (Of which I was at).
Lately I had been calming down, my sudden outburst about four months ago seemed so stupid and childish now, and I wondered if I could be free of my somewhat 'bad guy' role anytime soon…
I heard the sound of slithering across the tile of the room, not even need to turn around, I knew it my little snake companion I had grown annoyed of
"Princesssss, the girl isssn't lissssstening to me." Robert hissed
"Fine, then I'll try and talk to her, she may not be scared of something human." I declared bluntly, rising from my seat
"Fine then, alsssso princesssss-" The snake started, before I stepped on his tail.
Robert's eyes seemed to bulge and he looked to me, his eyes flared with annoyance
"Don't call me princess." I demanded, then left down the hallway.
There were few rooms, considering it was only me here, and Robert could sleep anywhere, but there were still extra spaces in which I saved for 'prisoners', a stupid thought while I was still immature
I stood in front of the door, feeling a bit nervous. Turning the handle, I beheld a rather sad scene in front of my eyes
A girl, no older than 12, was sitting on a bed with her legs drawn up to her face, arms wrapped around them.
'Great, I am filling out this bad guy role perfectly' I thought to myself annoyed
"Hello." I said
The girl raised her head, eyes red from crying
"Why am I here?" The girl asked
"Don't make this seem like a torture movie or anything, I just need you for your abilities." I answered
"Abilities? What abilities?" She asked
"I would tell you, but I don't feel comfortable telling such things to a stranger, what's your name?" I asked back
"Lily." She answered
"Nice, I'm Jessie, how old are you?" I asked once more
"11."
"Cute, now, why do you ask about your abilities?" I asked
"I'm weak." She declared
"Hardly." I scoffed
"I can't stand up for myself, I have no friends, and my parents died when I was young, leaving me to a religious orphanage, I don't even know what it feels like to be loved." She said
"That's depressing, tell me more, telling someone can help." I said
The girl looked at me hesitantly, then pulled down her legs into criss-cross and sat still.
"Sit down." She demanded
I did as she asked, I was never the type who liked to stand up anyways
She began to tell me about her life, how her parents had died on a night out in a drunk car crash, how she was sent to an orphanage that was rather religious, how she learned to accept God, and how he helped her through her hard times.
"So you're really into God?" I asked
"Well, I guess so." She said
"Then you may enjoy the news I have for you." I smiled
She merely stared at me
"What?"
"You aren't human." I declared
"So what am I?" She asked, I highly doubt she believed me and just wanted to see what crap I came up with.
"An angel."
"EH?"
I smiled, and got up from my spot on her bed.
"I'll be going now, that talking snake, Robert, he'll explain your powers and how to achieve them" I informed, reaching for the door handle
"BUT HE SCARES ME!" Lily suddenly lashed out
I turned to face her
"I'll give him special orders not to harm you in any way possible." I comforted
"But he scares me, he extends his S's and he threatens me if I don't behave to his liking!" She retorted
"I'll make sure he doesn't." I said gently
"How am I so sure you will?"
"Because I like you, and you remind me of myself, confused and not sure of what to do." I said
I turned around towards the door and turned the handle, I could feel her glare on my back
Closing the door behind me I saw Robert slithering towards me
"You go in there and tell her about herself." I demanded
"Fine, but I'm in a bad mood." Robert said
"Also make sure to treat her nicely, carefully, and avoid hurting her mentally, or physically, no threats, and make sure to lessen your hissing." I added
He glared at me with his slits for pupils a while
"What isssss thisssss for?" He hissed
"Since she's so special, she needs to be treated nicely." I said bluntly
"You're pampering the brat."
"She's not a brat, now get in there." I said, walking away.
Once I reached the fire once more, I plopped back down on my beanbag
This was so stupid.
We had 'kidnapped' Lily during the week period I'd given Rei, Megan, and Hailey to get ready for the fight, and we'd hoped to use her Earth Angel powers to shoot down Hailey, but Lily was young, and didn't have anything dramatic to have her transform into her Angel form so she'd been our 'prisoner' the entire time
Only now had I finally snapped to my senses, and realized this was all so stupid and pointless.
I had matured, I was acting normal, and I had even started wearing normal clothes again. The skirt with black leggings and tank top with a jacket was more comfortable than a cosplay ANBU outfit any day
However, I had still a small part of me that was full on fangirl
And because of it, I had stolen Zetsu from the group.
But I hadn't really stolen him, they'd forgotten him when they must have left, and I merely knocked him out and made Robert teleport us to the hideout
As I was reminiscing this all, I heard a weird sound, but since I was such a fangirl I knew the sound like the back of my hand.
I turned around to see Zetsu coming up from the ground nearby the fire, his adorable circular yellow eyes narrowed in an emotion of mixed anger and confusion
"Jessie." His white half said in a rather disappointed voice
"Yes?" I asked, happier than I had been a second ago
"Why." His black half asked, but it wasn't really a question rather than a demand
"They left you behind! So I took matters into my own hands!" I defended
The adorable plant man replied with a dull stare
"You DO know you can leave anytime you like? Your teleportation powers don't limit you to my little tricked out pad here." I reminded
"We're aware of our powers."
"Then why don't you escape?" I asked, a smile forming across my lips
"We find no use to." The white half said
"But don't you want to get back to your group?" I asked, becoming exciting at how I was striking up conversation with him
"They ignore us-"
"We rarely go on lookouts anymore-"
"And they refer to us as the 'plant-man'!"
"I'm sure they don't ignore you for no reason, maybe you just need to speak up." I reassured with a slight smile
"How would you know-"
"You don't know them."
I thought this over for a second
"But it seems the logical reason right?" I asked
"You don't know them." The white half repeated
"Do I?" I smirked
"No."
My face dropped
"You don't get much love do you?" I asked
"Megan says that in fanfictions we're usually left out, shown as cannibalistic, and if any pairings appear, there's usually a love triangle."
"But you are cannibalistic though!" I said
"But we're picky, and the main times we eat people is when the Akatsuki need to get rid of the bodies of dead members."
"So you're even bossed around in what to eat." I trailed off
"Basically." The white half sighed
"So why do you stay with them?" I asked suddenly
"It's entertaining really." The black half shrugged(As much as he could)
"Hailey is always doing something stupid that no one in the Akatsuki except for Tobi would do, and since Megan and Rei sometimes pitch in, it's fun to watch Leader get mad." The white half explained
"So mainly for the three girls?" I asked
"Basically, you aren't too bad either, people from your dimension aren't too bad, it's a nice break from the tough and non-feeling people we've been around for so long."
"They've also changed the Akatsuki too." The black half added
"How?" I asked, becoming intrigued
"Leader is more snappy now, people are always getting gender-bended, Hidan is no doubt falling for Hailey, Itachi is becoming less stiff, Megan has joined in on the art fights so it's not just Sasori and Deidara anymore, Tobi gets what's coming to him all the time now, Sasori isn't so emotionless, Kisame is much more fun, and Kakuzu has some betting buddies at moments." The white half rolled off
I stared at Zetsu for a few seconds
"And these girls have been with you all for HOW long?" I finally asked
"Four months."
"Wow, I wish I was with you all over th-" I began to say, before there was a large explosion
"GIVE US BACK OUR PLANTMAN UHN!" A female, yet stern, voice suddenly screamed.
Another explosions followed, nearby me
"DEIDARI DAMMIT! THIS PLACE ACTUALLY LOOKED COOL WHY'D YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT EXPLODE BAKA!" Another, familiar voice, scolded the first voice
I stood still, in shock amongst the smoke. Zetsu didn't move either
Soon the smoke cleared, to reveal a few forms standing in the entrance of the cave some way off
I could easily see them as, Deidara, Itachi, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Hailey. Though the hair on the top of Kakuzus head that was usually covered by his mask, was running short down his forehead. Deidara's hair nearly touched the floor. Itachi's sidebangs had grown considerably. And Hidans slicked back hair was longer now
"What the fuck is happening here?" Hidan scowled, his voice a higher pitch than how he should sound
"Zetsu, are you talking with the enemy?" Hailey asked, pointing a finger at the both of us, an incredulous look on her face
"Now you've got a bad image in my head uhn." Deidari groaned
"YOU PERVERT!" Hailey screamed, throwing a rock at the blondes head
Deidara proceeded to throw mini bombs her way, but she danced around them, and they began to fight. Curses, explosions, and rocks flew through the air.
I stared at them dumbfounded, is this what they did when they were on a mission?
I looked to Zetsu to see he was fully out of the ground by now.
"I guess it's time for me to go." The white side said sadly
I suddenly felt a presence behind me
I turned around to stare into the red eyes of Itachi Uchiha
"You're coming with us too." He said bluntly
Before I could force any words of protest from my mouth, I blacked out.
