'Day three...'
It had been three days. Three days since it had happened... In those three days Autumn hadn't eaten, she hadn't slept, and she hadn't smiled. The only time she had left the seventh floor was when May's parents had come by the next day, to tell her in person that they had found their daughter's body, lying right outside their front door. Itachi's doing, no doubt. Unlike her father, May's mom didn't seem as distressed. Instead she had spent the time that she was there trying to persuade Autumn to move in with them. After her parents had disappeared two years ago, May's mother had offered to adopt her. And why not? In her eyes, she was a straight 'A' student, she worked with little to no complaints, and compared to May, she would've made the perfect daughter. But there was a slight problem. No one except her friends knew what she was really like. The 'Miss Perfect' thing was only an act for the adults. She used it on teachers, parents, and anyone else she met on the street. Even her friends couldn't tell that it was an act when they first met. But her parents could. They always knew. And so she refused.
Her room was dark, just like her clothes. After May had died, she had locked herself in her room, and had sealed off the seventh floor to prevent any others from entering. She had blocked the sun from entering the entire floor, by putting a jutsu on the windows. She hadn't seen the sun in awhile,
'I wonder... Is the sky still crying?' It would have been an odd thought to anyone else that was in the mansion, but to Autumn it made perfect sense, and to her, the question seemed to fit the mood.
After Autumn had shut herself from the world, things took a turn for the worst. Since that one afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining, and because of that, the river wouldn't stop raising. The business district had started flooding, and so did the school, much to the joy of all of the other students. The plants, and greenery in and around Autumn's home had started to wither away, due to the vast amount of negative chakra that was being emitted. Even Zetsu had to use a few different jutsus to protect himself.
For three days, Autumn had been sitting on her bed doing nothing. Well, right before midnight struck, and the fourth day began, the akatsuki had decided that something needed to be done. For an evil organization bent of the destruction of the world, they weren't very keen on the new 'ever lasting darkness' effect that Autumn was having on the world. Earlier that same day, they had a meeting discussing the subject. First they would have to break the seal on the seventh floor, which for a group of S-class missing nin, shouldn't be so hard. Then they had to make her happy again. Tobi had first come up with the brilliant idea of killing Hidan, but due to the fact that he was immortal, they couldn't do that. Then Itachi suggested that they buy her jewelry. All girls are supposed to love jewels. Thankfully, Konan still remembered what happened when they went shopping, and smacked him. So that was the end of that idea. Hidan wanted to beat her until she smiled. Just suggesting that, got him a free ticket to seventy-two hours of torture, courtesy of Itachi, who agreed with Tobi's idea. Eventually they did all agree on one idea, but that was brought from Autumn's clone, who had come down to get a glass of orange juice.
"Why don't you just try bringing May back to life?" It asked, walking to the refrigerator. Everyone at the table gasped, why didn't they think of that? But of course, how?
"There's a scroll upstairs that we stole from Orochimaru, try that," isn't that convenient? Kami (or the authoress) must've been looking down on them that day.
Back with the Emo Girl...
Autumn stayed in her little corner, away from a particularly happy looking bear, that hadn't been affected by the emo cloud that was hanging in the air. The cloud was getting bigger, and bigger. In another chapter or two, it could be bigger then the super emo cloud that May had. Speaking of May, the bear. It was one of her most prized possessions. Her father had given it to Autumn, saying that they had no use for it now. Suddenly, there was a huge blast, obviously aimed for the door.
"Let us in, un!" Autumn raised an eyebrow, and opened the door. Her clone handed her the orange juice, and disappeared. She shut the door in everyone else's faces, and went back to being emo. After a few more blasts against the door, all got quiet. She quietly stepped outside her room, only to see Itachi, Deidara, and Konan standing there. She attempted to run, but it was too late. Itachi picked her up like a sack of potatoes, and hauled her down the stairs, kicking and screaming.
not much to say... cookies anyone?
