1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.
Chapter 55
Note: Fans of ninjas are like paparazzi, you'll never get rid of them.
~Kahlan's POV
I place my plate down then pick up Laura. Konan gets up and helps me to carry Laura. Together the both of us take Laura up to one of the empty bedrooms on the second floor. Konan tucks her in and I cover the curtains to keep the light out.
"Thanks," I say removing myself from the window.
"You're welcome," Konan says with a small smile.
We head back downstairs to the living room. Grabbing my plate, I finish up my pizza and the last bit of pepperoni on my plate. As weird as this may be to people, I always take the pepperoni off my pizza to eat last.
"I'm going to go work on the yard to make it look presentable," I say standing up. "I'll work on the dishes later."
"You're not going out on your own," Leader says walking into the room.
"I'm not fucking helping," Hidan immediately shouts.
Leader ignores him as he says, "Itachi, Konan, Sasori and Kakuzu will go out to help you, as well to make sure you don't make a run for it."
"I'm not going to make a run for it," I reply back. "It would be a foolish and stupid idea. Anyways, I think everyone should help out because…" I trail off to think of a good enough reason then it hits me. "With everyone helping they can get to know the terrain better and finish the yard up quicker for you and your members to train."
I also said that so Laura isn't in the house with them alone. Leader says nothing as he looks away for a few moments. Konan walks over to stand beside me.
"I think it's a good idea," Konan says.
"She makes a valid point," Itachi suddenly says. I cast him a glance then look to Leader waiting.
"I don't want to fucking do yard work," Hidan shouts.
"We will all help out with the work," Leader says a moment later.
"I better get paid for it," Kakuzu says.
"We'll finish in no time, hmm," Deidara says with a smirk.
"No blowing the place up," Leader and I say at the same time.
I look over at him glaring. He wasn't supposed to say that, at least not when I also say it. I hear some of the members chuckle, and I look over at them glaring as well. It freaks me out when someone else says the same thing I do at the same time, unless it's a really close friend like Laura then it doesn't bother me.
"Let's quickly get the yard cleaned up," Leader says.
Hidan mumbles complains under his breath as we all go outside. I go over to the shed and start pulling both lawn mowers. Then I go back in and grab five machetes.
"We're going to fucking cut grass with a fucking sword?"
"It's a machete," I reply. "Anyways, there are two lawn mowers which I have to make sure there's gas in them and five machetes. I can get a rake if anyone wants to rake everything into a pile."
"Tobi wants to rake!"
"You just want the easiest job, yeah."
"No, Tobi really wants to rake."
"If you're going to use a fucking machete then I'll fucking use my scythe."
"Whatever floats your boat," I reply not really caring.
Placing the machetes down, I head into the shed for gas can to find it empty. Walking out I walk over to the lawn mowers and check the gas level. It's low and the gas is old so, new gas will have to be put in it soon.
"Anyone want to go to the Gas station and get gas for this?"
"Fuck no."
"We shouldn't waste money on that," Kakuzu says.
"We can't risk going out," Leader says. "Not with the Konoha ninjas and their allies."
"Then we're down to five machetes," I reply going to push the lawn mowers back.
"We can work with that," Kisame replies with his sharky grin.
"Okay," I answer placing the lawn mowers back.
When I return with the rake, the machetes are gone. Hidan is off actually using his scythe easily cutting the grass. Deidara, Kakuzu, Itachi, Kisame and Leader are using the machetes. Konan is…looks like her skin is coming off looking like paper as they turn into something and cuts through the grass. Okay weird, but hey they're ninjas, I think being weird comes with the title of ninja. Zetsu is somewhere and Sasori is using a flame thrower. That's cool…holy hell I got to find the water hose so the fire can be put out before spreading.
Slightly panicking, I start searching for the hose. It's somewhere connected to the house. Where is it? Never again will I neglect this place. Stupid evil hose where…found it!
Quickly, I turn the water on as I grab hold of the hose. The water spurts out a few times then it becomes a steady stream. I wait a few moments to let any ants that could be inside wash out. Finally I put a kink in the hose and rush over to Sasori. I can't allow this yard to become a burning crisp.
"Stop killing the yard," I yell once I'm close enough.
"I'm not killing the yard," Sasori replies. "I know what I'm doing."
"Yes, because spewing fire everywhere isn't killing the yard!"
Sasori ignores me continuing on his fire spewing path of yard destruction. Glaring, I slightly cover the opening of the hose with my thumb then release the kink. Water starts spraying everywhere over the fire to put it out.
Sasori keeps walking away and I follow behind him putting the fire out after a few moments. I have made it my job to keep the fire under control. Thankfully from all the rain we've been getting, putting the fire out doesn't take long.
Sadly, after following behind Sasori for about fifteen minutes I end up stopping. Why? The answer is simple, because the hose only goes so far. Freaking out, I try to put out much of the fire I can. Biting on my lower lip I look around for Kisame. He's part shark (at least I think he is because he looks like one) he might know some water magic ninja jutsu stuff.
"Kisame," I yell, pushing down my pride for what I'm about to do.
"What," he yells back.
Clenching my hands into fist I yell, "I need…your…help!"
I dig my nails into my palm drawing blood, but it's not my fault. I never thought I would see the day I actually ask for help from these people. It bothers me and my pride, because I don't like them…with the exception of Konan, she's cool.
"With what," he asks having his sharky grin in place.
"The damn fire," I yell back. "Don't you know any ninja magic jutsu stuff dealing with water?"
"I might," he replies, his grin turning to a smirk. "What makes you think I would know anything?"
"Because you resemble a shark," I reply stealing a quick glance at the growing flames. "Sharks live in water so therefore you have to know some…whatever you call it; besides the hose only goes so far."
"Well for that reasoning then no, I don't know any water jutsu," Kisame replies not happy at all. He must be sensitive to shark comments.
"Whatever," I reply. "I didn't need your damn help anyways…walking sardine."
Kisame glares but I look back to the flames. I pull on the hose trying to make it go as far as I can while spraying some of the flames in reach. There's no way I can let this yard end up dead.
Suddenly, the water coming from the hose turns into a dragon. My hands immediately drop the hose as I take a few steps back. The water dragon then follows the fiery path, putting out all the flames then crashes to the ground turning back to normal water. Turning around I watch as Itachi lowers his arms.
"Kisame," Itachi says. "That was unnecessary, and putting out the flames would help from smoke catching unwanted attention."
"She looked like she had it under control to me," Kisame replies.
"Hn," Itachi replies.
"Sasori," Leader calls out. "You can stop burning the yard."
Sasori stops and heads back towards the house. My eyes keep moving back and forth from the put out flames to Itachi and Kisame. I wanted to ask how, but resist the urge. Ninjas are probably not meant to make sense.
"That was so cool," an unknown female voice yells. "Those are not cosplayers! Normal cosplayers can't do that!"
"They really must be the Akatsuki," a kind of familiar male voice says.
Spinning around, I see the delivery pizza guy with a group of people. A couple of them are on their phone quickly texting away; no doubt having record the whole thing and is sending a mass text message with the video included. My eyes widen as the entire Akatsuki members freeze. This is not good.
"Can you believe it is the Itachi Uchiha," squeals one of the girls as she grabs hold of another girl's shoulders. "Please tell me this isn't a dream!" The girl starts squealing jumping up and down.
"Who cares," the other girl replies pushing the other girl away. "Kisame Hoshigaki is standing right there!" That girl starts squealing as well.
"There is no way this is a dream," the pizza delivery guy says. "This is really happening."
"Get the hell off my property," I shout at the idiotic teenagers. They have no idea what they have just gotten themselves into.
"That's what I wanted to tell you Leader-sama," Kakuzu says. There's nothing I can do now to make sure Leader doesn't found out. "That person knew who we are and knows about our organization. He also seems to know about the nine-tails. He said almost everyone knows about Naruto and the Akatsuki, something along those lines."
"Duh," the girl who was squealing about Itachi says. "Almost everyone loves you guys! You have a huge fan club."
"If they really are the Akatsuki," says the other guys that's with them, the one who has been silent this whole time. "Then we just got ourselves into a lot of trouble."
"Capture them," Leader commands.
"Fuck yeah can I fucking kill them?"
"No," Leader says, his eyes narrowing. "Kahlan, go wake up Laura now; we are all going to have a talk."
Looking at the kids in front of me I give them a small sad look but quickly rush into the house. I run to the room Laura is staying in.
"Laura," I say shaking her awake. "There is a huge problem."
