Chapter 2
After naming the fish the two girls went to the kitchen smelling the mouth watering scent of food. Even though Lori didn't like anyone at all she did like one thing…food!
Jeri grabbed Lori's hand and pulled the blonde into the kitchen while the blonde shouted nearly punched her but refrained from doing so and instead opted to curse her under her breath.
The fish in the tank watched all of this with wonder and slight amusement.
"That girl, the blonde, seems to be…." Hershey was trying to think of a word to describe the girl without being mean.
"Like an Uchiha." Tobirama (Snowflake) muttered to himself.
Coconut , the now half brown half white fish took this time to chime into the conversation. "You mean moody? Mean?" Hershey laughed.
"That's exactly right!" Now that Tobirama thought about it, wasn't it weird he could talk to the other fish?
"Maybe it has something to do with her past?" Crow thought aloud getting a blank look from Shadow. "What?"
"Nothing." Says Shadow. This fish...
Mud watched as the girl came out of the kitchen with a slice of pizza and sat down against the wall, quietly nibbling on her food. This girl had intrigued him and from a glance to his left he saw Arrow watching the girl as well. She also caught his eye it seemed.
Mud froze upon feeling a presence behind him and swiftly swam around to face the fish seeing it was Hershey who was now laughing wildly. "Fuck you Hershey!"
Hershey swam to the glass wall of the tank to get a better look at the blonde haired and blue eyed beauty that had Mud and Arrow staring at her. "Oh! She does look like quite the looker, eh Mud-chan?" He tried to elbow Mud as best he could with his fin.
Mud glared in response but kept his mouth shut not wanting the brunette-scaled fish to continue talking. This fish seems familiar...
"Her eyes and hair are unusual." Rocky pointed out the combination of eye and hair color they were not used to seeing very often. Actually, they've only ever saw that in Minato Namikaze, or at least Shadow, Crow and Rocky have. But her looks were different than his, her hair was a light blonde, while his was a yellow color and her eyes are an arctic blue while his a darker shade of blue.
"Why does she eat alone?" Arrow asked no one in particular hearing sounds of laughter coming from the kitchen.
"To get away from that?" Mud suggested making a disgusted face remembering when he had to attend parties and festivals when he was leader of his Clan, it was a nightmare and it took everything he had not to kill the various people who came up and talked to him randomly or to kill his 'admirers'.
The fish in the tank then spotted a long, slithering serpent making it's way towards the blonde who was unaware and to interested in her slice of pizza to notice. It was a huge Cottonmouth snake, a species of pit viper native to Arkansas. It's scales were a uniform black color and its underside a creamy white.
"We have to warn her!" Hershey cries as he started swimming as fast as he could around the tank and crashing himself against the clear wall repeatedly. The others joined in save for Mud, Arrow and () as they knew it was no use getting out of here so long as they remained fish.
That didn't stop the other fish in the tank from trying to get her attention though.
"HEY! THERE'S A SNAKE COMING YOUR WAY!" Crow yelled at the girl at the top of his small lungs wishing the girl could speak fish right now. Shadow just stared at the fish that reminded him so mich of his 'elder brother'.
"She can't hear you." Crow's black eyes clouded with horror as the snake inched it's way closer and closer to the girl.
Lori's electric blue eyes glanced to her right to see the snake hissing at her. With adrenaline now coursing through her veins and her mind telling her to get away as fast as possible, she knew she couldn't. If she made one wrong move the snake would attack her. Trying to stay as calm as possible she let her eyes scan over the snake as it bared its fangs at her.
Completely black scales, white underside, dark brown eyes with slits…
Oh FUCK! Cottonmouth…! Snake's with slits for pupils are venomous, those with round pupils are not venomous….
The large Cottonmouth slithered across her jean covered legs, suppressing a shiver that threatened to overtake her body as fear began to ensue. The snake was kinda cold and even though her skin wasn't touching it, she could tell the snake felt like squishy rubber, basically felt like a baby alligator. Squishy but soft and not like a cloud…
How did it get in here?!
Lori's eyes moved forward to see a doggy door for the household cat. Fuck. The snake's head barely passed by her hand with the blonde taking a deep and slow breath. Realizing she had a chance to make sure the snake didn't bite her, she quickly grabbed the snake around it's neck as it's head was beside her hand, holding the snake like how you were supposed to she got up making her way outside. Placing the snake down in the grass but not letting go just yet as she was trying to distance herself from the snake to avoid getting bitten, once she was sure she could get back in time she let go and jumped back dodging the pit viper's strike by a mere inch and she ran inside the house, quickly but gently closing the door behind her.
The ninja fish in the tank, who were unaware of the eachother being ninja, were surprised with the girl seemingly not to panic and knowing how to handle a snake. Most girls hate snakes. Maybe this one does but learned this from a bad experience?
"Wow." Cocconut sounded in awe. There were a few nods of approval.
A shiver of disgust made it's way down the blonde's spine shaking her whole body as she realized her adrenaline was starting to come down. "Fuck! I hate shit like that!"
The blonde walked over to the tank bending down to look at the fish and smiling softly, the smile barely visible on her lips. "I did notice you guys banging against the glass, but for what I didn't know. Where you maybe trying to warn me…? Either way, thanks." She straightened up with the smile fading completely from her face as she returned to her cold natured self. "Why am I talking to fish?" She asked herself walking inside her room to get ready for bed.
Lori woke up the next morning, Tuesday, to see unfamiliar maroon colored hair.
What? Why the fuck is there maroon hair here?
Raising her head she noticed a certain sleeping Jeri on the side closest to the door, the bed's headboard was placed against the west wall so they both had equal space to get in and out of bed meaning they never had to climb over one another. Lori blinked once then twice before deciding to ignore this and got a pair of jeans and her hoody walking to the bathroom to get ready for school.
When she was finished she was wearing jeans, black combat boots, her hoodie and was making a cup of coffee and heating up some leftover pizza from the night before for breakfast.
Pouring herself a mug of coffee and mixing it with some creamer and a lot of sugar she slipped a cube of ice in it to cool it down so it wouldn't singe her tongue. She brought the mug to her lips slowly sipping the sweet sugary goodness that wakes her up early in the mornings. The flavor was sugary, just the way she liked it.
Jeri came into the kitchen not two minutes later with a bedhead and not fully awake, but fully dressed in jeans and a V-neck red shirt and made her way to the coffee machine, getting a cup and pouring herself some coffee and fixing it to fit her tastes.
Watching the brownish-crimson head's movements with a watchful blue gaze noticing she used little to no creamer and mainly drank her coffee black. They sipped their morning coffee in silence until Jeri pulled out some vanilla ice cream from the freezer part of the fridge and made herself a bowl to eat with the half cup of coffee she has left. Lori raised an eyebrow quizzically.
Jeri smiled. "It's a Canadian combo, we were from Canada before we moved here to Arkansas." Lori made no move to tell the maroon haired girl she was listening other than a blink which she responded with another smile before making Lori a bowl as well and they both sat at the kitchen table.
Jeri slid the bowl towards Lori who only glanced down at it before giving a small grunt and continuing to drink her coffee much to Jeri's annoyance as she was now practically fuming. Lori slid the bowl towards Jeri who by now had finished off her ice cream and couldn't resist the temptation of more ice cream. "What not, waste not."
Sitting in class was boring especially when you do nothing for an entire hour. Either way it allowed both Jeri and Lori to get some sleep, until a group of slutty bitches fucked that shit to Hell.
A hand being slammed onto the table brought Lori out of her usual nightmares, thought she was so used to it they were like dreams to her. Good ones.
Irritated arctic blue irises met topaz ones as Lori slowly lifted her head from her desk to see a girl her height with dyed caramel, obviously styled curly hair and slightly tan skin wearing a very low cut top the color of teal that practically had her boobs popping out along with a pair of designer skinny jeans and black bobs. She was wearing really dark green eyeshadow too.
"You better have a good reason for disturbing my slumber." Lori growled in annoyance. The girl before her plastered a fake ass smile on her face. "You're in my seat." She replied in a sickly sweet voice. Lori's gaze shifted from her face to her desk and back to the girl. "I don't see a name on it."
"Well, that's where I usually sit." The girl slung an arm around Lori's shoulders making her tense. "You see I was out of school yesterday for an appointment." She began her sob story making Lori's face twist in disgust.
"Cut the shit and get the fuck away from me." Lori responded before the other girl could continue.
The girl's gaze shifted from Lori to Jeri who was in the front of the class sound asleep.
She sleeps like a rock… Thought Lori as she sweat dropped.
"I hear your the new girl in school and you live with Jeri-sweetie… Since you're new, I'll let you off with a warning. But if I catch you in my seat again, don't think I won't tell Jeri. What's your name anyway? The teacher's don't call your name out in class." The girl asked.
Annoyance pawed at Lori's insides as she came up with many, many names for the brunette in front of her within a timespan of two seconds. "And if you threaten me, or try to again… I'll punch that makeup filled face of yours so hard, even makeup won't correct it, it's apparent the makeup doesn't do it's job anyhow. Slutty bitch."
The girl's mouth dropped open in shock before her face turned a dark shade of red as her body shook with anger at being insulted. However the bell rang waking Jeri up and the girl quickly made her way out of the class.
Lori was quite pleased with herself right now.
Now it was time to go to VoTech. Because yesterday was their first day they didn't go and instead had regular classes. - and Lori were in Health Science, which meant that they were going into the medical field. Lori had no idea what she wanted to be yet, she was just here to see what she actually wanted to do with her life. Maybe she should be a Veterinarian… She was always good with animals, especially cats, dogs and deer.
The teacher's name was Mrs. Bruce, for their Anatomy/Physiology class, 1st block for Vo Tech. Half of the Health Science class was in 's class, the other was in Mrs. Woods' class, she ran the Medical part of the Health Science for Vo Tech. They would stay in for one hour before switching to the next teacher for their assigned vo tech and it was split up by name order. That is what the teachers just got done explaining and as of now, everyone was in the same room: ' room with in tow.
"Half of you will be going to my class and the other half will be going with Mrs. Woods tomorrow, if your last name starts with A to G you come with me, if your last name starts from H to Z you stay in here tomorrow with Mrs. Woods for the first hour." Mrs. Bruce announced. "Are there any questions?"
Lori stood up. "What if we have no last name?" The room was silent as people from other schools in the area were in Vo Tech at the same time as Atkins, so therefore she had teens from Dover, Pottsville, Hector, Darndale, Two Rivers, and even Lamar staring at her with annoyance in their gazes, while some had curiosity gleaming in their eyes.
Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Bruce were frozen in place as if they had been turned to stone, shocked at hearing one of their student's had no last name. "Well… Honey, can we talk to you out in the hall?" Mrs. Woods asked sweetly. The tone in her voice was sincere, Lori and the teachers went out into the hall, closing the door behind them to prevent eavesdropping. Jeri on the other hand was confused.
Hadn't Mom said that this girl was my new sister right? Even if I still don't know her name, she's taken my family's last name, Sanders, right? Or is something not filled out? Maybe some paperwork hasn't been filed yet or filled out?
Back in the hall Lori was being talked to by the teachers.
"I have been in foster care for my entire life, since I was very young. My parents never had me take their last name and some things aren't… Settled yet." Lori explained rather flustered at yet again, failing to be like everyone else.
Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Bruce hugged her tightly, a motherly hug that they had acquired from being parents and grandparents themselves, as they were 40 but looked about their 30's. "Oh, honey it's alright! We will just place you in Mrs. Bruce's class!" They assured.
On the bus ride home, as it was raining and they decided they would take the bus from now on, Lori was blasting deafening music in her ears with her headphones. Memories of how she was looked at her whole life flashing in her mind.
AU: Warning! Violence, abuse and other shit happens in this next part! If you don't like that skip on ahead down the page, I will have a note saying when it is safe to read normally!
-Flash backs-
"Oh, look at her! She's so cute!" One woman with curly brown hair squealed, her thick German accent clear in her voice as she pointed at Lori like she was a kitten in a cage at the pet shop waiting for a home. The man looked at his wife lovingly.
"Well, we can get her if you want!" He offered much to the woman's joy as they filled out papers and made arrangements. Soon they were able to take Lori home….
Shouting and yelling was all that could be heard from the house as the drunk adoptive parents threw bottles of wine or alcohol at the young child before them, with her cowering in terror, tears streamed from her blue orbs and down her cheeks as glass cut her arms and face. "I hate you!" They screamed at her as they pinned her against the wall.
The next week Lori was adopted by rich people who couldn't have children. She was happy to show them her progress reports she got from school and wanted them to be proud of her.
The couple took one look at her progress report only to sneer at it and glare at her with cold dead eyes. The same ones she has now…
"Your and idiot! 3 C's and the rest are either F's or D's?! Go to your room! And no dinner for 5 days, not even breakfast or lunch at school!" The adoptive mother screeched.
The husband looked at his wife. "She's hopeless, a failure."
"A disgrace!" The wife agreed.
Unbeknownst to them, the young child could hear them easily and waterfalls fell from her eyes as she had again screwed up another chance to live with a family…
"You can't do anything right! I wish you were never born!" Her REAL mother screamed at her, burning her back with a cigarette as her daughter's bloodcurdling screams pierced the air of the empty house.
-End of Flashbacks!-
AU: It is safe to read normally now, you have skipped the flashbacks and violence!
Lori was snapped out of her memories as a hand roughly shook her shoulder causing Lori to jump out of her seat and nearly kick Jeri in the face. "Are you ok?!" Jeri asked clearly worried as her eyes green eyes glistened with fear. Lori had found out Jeri's eyes change from Green to Hazel green to brown.
It was then that Lori felt it…. Water was trailing from her eyes.
"Tears…" Lori replied numbly. How? How had she been crying? How could she have cried in front of everyone?!
Lori stormed off the bus as the driver stopped in front of their house with Jeri following closely behind her, green eyes glaring at everyone if they dared to further upset the blonde. Lori burst into the living room followed by Jeri as she collapsed on the floor against the wall, with her hands covering her face as she tried to keep herself from breaking down. Jeri held her shoulders reassuringly, letting her know she would NOT be leaving her side.
"Just go…" Lori pleaded.
"But-" Jeri was cut off by Lori yelling at her.
"I said just go!" Jeri's eyes filled with tears at seeing her 'friend and sister' so upset, but she understood that the blonde needed some time alone.
"If you need me, someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on… I'll always be here for you, Sister." Jeri said before heading off to their room that they shared together.
The fish in the tank off to Lori's left watched the girls interact before one of them leaving the other in the living room.
-Fish POV-
Hershey looked at the crying girl as she covered her face with her hands to keep from being seen this way. The normally cold girl was crying…
"Oh, that poor young lady!" Cried the fish and was crying tears or trying to, since he was in a tank full of water.
"Why is she crying?" Wondered Crow aloud as his dark eyes watched the girl's body racked with soft sobs.
"I'm not sure." Replied another, staring at the girl wondering the same as the other fish in the tank.
"She needs help!" Cocconut cries out trying to break through the glass to get to the crying girl.
Snowflake (Tobirama) remained silent as he watched the girl continue to cry. He had to avert his gaze as he was never one to be able to see a woman upset. He hated hurting a woman, be it emotional or physical if they were his enemies, in fact he tried to refrain from it as best he could. Right now he felt like consoling the girl in some way, like giving her advice or maybe a compliment as that had worked half the time with Hashirama when Mito was pissed at him or upset and crying.
"Why...?" Lori said aloud with the fish continuing to watch her with slight pain in most of their eyes. "Why are they coming back now?! I shouldn't even remember them… Damn…!" Lori's voice shook as she felt all her built up pain throughout the years started to return…
A dark black fish was slightly worried for the girl but his thoughts kept going back to a certain maroon haired girl in the bedroom down the hall, the look in her eyes was that of sorrow. Was she probably doing the same thing as this girl here?
"She said sisters…" Shadow, the normally quiet fish had spoken. ANother fish kept his gaze on the girl before them outside the tank clearly frustrated with herself, sad, alone and probably scared.
"She needs a shoulder to cry on…" a dark brown fish whispered, his voice filled with sorrow for he felt his heart breaking. Soon though the girl fell asleep, her hands falling from her face allowing the ninja turned fish to properly see her face which was swollen around her eyes and puffy as well as blotches all over her face with a heavy blush on her cheeks from crying.
THat fish actually sunk to the bottom of the tank in a fit of depression of not being able to be human and console the girls.
That same dark brown fish stared at the girl who was asleep on the floor of the living room against the white walls of the house. His heart ached seeing someone in so much pain and suffering, it was like when he saw Mito upset, or Tobi-kun or even Mada-chan. It hurt him more than words could say….
"Why am I a fish…? Why can't I just for this one time, be a human again and help her?" He asked himself moping about at the bottom of the tank drawing circles when the white and brown scaled fish swam around in circles trying to get his attention as he heard The dark brown fish muttering about wanting to help the blonde lying against the wall with tear stains on her cheeks.
Hashirama truly did Want to help the girl but not feel anything but as that of a meer friend towards the blonde and only wished to console her and Jeri. After all, they have been kind to them, saving them from dying of being out of water and feeding them even though the fish food sucked ass.
When Lori finally awoke she had a huge headache that was obscuring her eyesight. All she could see was red, everything was red and the back of her head pulsed with pain causing the blonde to furrow her eyebrows in an attempt to relieve herself of the pain. It helped only a small amount but it was better than nothing. Getting up she made her way to the kitchen, stumbling here and there on the way.
Finally reaching the cabinet Lori took out a bottle of Tylenol and took the recommended dose of two red, circular tablets with a thick coating on them. Taking them without water was never hard for Lori as she had grown accustom to taking pills without water as she gets migraines constantly. Now all she had to do was wait a few minutes for it to take effect.
Walking back into the living room she looks around as her vision begins to return to normal with her no longer stumbling and walks to the nearby fish tank to sit on the ground looking up at the fish. That is until a certain black scaled fish swam near the bottom of the tank stopping in front of her face, it's eyes the same black color.
The fish named Shadow was watching the girl with his obsidian eyes, seeing that her face was no longer puffy or red, nor were there tear stains on her cheeks. Her eyes really were unusual. A clear, crystal blue, like a wolf's.
She doesn't appear to be upset anymore. Thought the Uchiha fish as he returned to the top of the tank.
That night Lori was sound asleep in bed with Jeri on the other side, neither of them have spoken to the other since coming home that afternoon. Both were too tired to care much about anything right now.
Too bad for Jeri, Lori was a sleep walker, sleep talker and…
Lori got up from bed, her eyes still closed as she began to make her way to the living room awaking the fish who sensed her approaching. "What the fuck is she doing up at this time of night…?" Groaned one pitch black fish named ()()()() looking through the glass of the tank to the wall which held a clock on it seeing the time said 12:00 A.M. midnight…
"No…. Wait a minute…" Shadow began as realization stuck him like a brick.
"She may just be hungry, or thirsty…" Mutters Crow, seeing the blonde sleepwalk into the living room mumbling something along the lines of "You're dead" and "You first" he and his fellow fishmates sweat dropped.
"Or, maybe not…" Crow admitted as Shadow sighed behind him. Lori began to swing her fists at an invisible target only being seen in her dream and she began to kick as well. Slowly her attacks made their way ever so closer to the fish tank.
"We're fucked aren't we?" Hersheys asked bluntly making Crow sigh and mutter something under his breath. Mud and Snowflake looked at Hersheys. "What the hell do you think?!" They yelled in unison making the Hershey fish pout.
Only the sound of shattered glass could be heard throughout the house as Lori's fist impacted the fish tank and water flooded everywhere, along with the fish who were now flopping wildly on the ground in panic. Lori fell to the floor and her blood ran alongside the water, staining the dark green carpet red.
The blood traveled through the water, past every shard of broken glass unless it was covering the glass as some were, and made its way towards the flopping fish….
One by one all the fish felt the warmth of the blood and the coolness of the water against their scales before a tingling feeling began to ensue capturing their senses in a stranglehold. Each of the fish glowed a bright red color as they changed into their original forms, their human bodies now taking the place of their once fish bodies.
Once everyone looked at each other their eyes widened and a fist fight with chakra, and Jutsu ensued. Each former fish recognized their rivals. Madara and Hahsirama. Tobirama and Izuna. Butsuma and Tajima. Kagami, Shisui and Itachi. Itama recognized his father, Butsuma.
The only ones who did not try to fight each other were Itachi, Shisui, Kagami and Itama. Itachi looked to Shisui with wide eyes unsure if this was a genjutsu or not.
"S-Shisui..." Shisui's attention was turned to his best friend and person who took role of "younger brother". He looked like he got hit by a truck.
"I-Itachi... Is that you?!" They both activate their sharingan and realized it was no genjutsu. Shisui envelopes Itachi in a hug which Kagami joined recognizing the two Uchihas'.
"You've grown Itachi!" Chimes Shisui.
"Son!" Kagami smiles as his son, Shisui grins.
"Dad!"
"How are we here and alive?! Asked Itachi. They all tried to think about that until they noticed the blonde bleeding out on the carpet as thick blood reached their feet.
Shisui and Hashirama quickly ran over to the girl not really caring if they were in their birthday suits or not at the moment, and checked up on the girl. Why hasn't she woken up yet? Madara was muttering threats to Hashirama and Shisui and Hashirama tried to ignore him. Before long they could take it no more. "Madara! Shut up! There's a girl lying here unconscious and she's bleeding out! If we don't help her, she. Will. Die." Madara then flew a slew of insults at the young Uchiha and Rival Senju, who were trying to find the shards of glass in her still tightly balled up fist and tense arm. It was hard to discern glass when mixed with water and blood. Right as Hashirama was about to ask Itachi, or Tobirama who joined him alongside the girl, to fetch him a washcloth and some fresh water they heard running footsteps.
"What the hell was that?!-" Jeri burst into the living room seeing several Uchiha and Senju stark naked. She froze for a moment as her face went to the color of a tomato before forcing it down and getting angry.
"Why you…. How dare you come into my house and attack my sister! You fucking pervs!" Jeri screeched grabbing the closest thing to her... A small desk that could easily be picked up and rushed over as fast as lightning to Hashirama, Tobirama, and the three Uchiha, not to mention an unconscious Lori and swung that motherfucker as hard as she possibly could.
"Wait! We're not-!" Hashirama never go to finish because of the unspeakable pain as first, the desk was cracked against the side of Hashirama's skull hitting the side of his cranial cavity and making his head crash into Tobirama's making pain the only thing registering in either man's nerve receptors.
All the two Senju now saw was red, everything was read and there was no sound. A head splitting headache immediately as they tried to focus their vision which was currently fading. Managing only to be able to read the maroon haired girls lips making out the words "Assholes", "Get the hell outta here", "Cops" and something along the lines of "wake up".
Shisui, Kagami and Itachi jumped back making sure their family jewels were kept covered by at least one hand.
Damn, she has one hell of a swing…! Thought the two injured Senju as they both knew Madara and Izuna were laughing their asses off as Tajima smirked in approval. But what caught everyone's eye was that Jeri's forest green eyes turned scarlet red with a single tomoe in each eye…
The sharingan…! Thought all the ninja as they were all frozen with shock, not expecting this to happen.
"You bastards… You hurt my sister, damn you!" She closed her eyes before opening them sharply, her eyes burning with rage and the desire to protect Lori. "I'm gonna kill you!" Shisui was about to try to calm her down when Itachi stepped up to the party. He, like Shisui, Hashirama, Tobirama, Itama and Butsuma and Tajima were covering their genitals. Everyone but Madara…
"Wait… Miss we didn't mean to trespass and we didn't hurt your sister." His eyes glanced at Lori's unconscious body before returning his obsidian gaze to the now pissed off Uchiha woman. "I promise you, we will not harm her nor you. We are your fish, you named me 'Shadow', Shisui 'Crow'', remember?"
Jeri froze. Things were starting to sink in...not only were they telling the truth about being thier fish...but they were also fucking ANIME CHARACTERS!
Jeri promptly fainted from shock and brain overload as Lori began to awaken only to see a body falling on top of her already injured hand and arm. At least she couldn't feel any pain right now, probably because she built up a high pain tolerance. Managing to move Jeri off of her arm and beside her on the mix of blood, water, shards of broken glass and carpet.
Piercing blue eyes traveled in front of her to see nine guys, all naked and covering their genitals. All but Madara. Lori's face held one of disgust and terror before looking at the broken fish tank and registering the shard of broken glass there were no fish to be found.
"Who the Hell are you?" Lori exclaimes in anger, but her voice was weak with shock and fear. Lori rarely felt much of anything when it came to emotions, but she sure a hell felt fear now. Lori luckily kept her phone... It was on the kitchen table, never mind.
"How the Hell are you here Senju?!" Yelled some Uchiha rivals to some of the Senju, who yelled the same thing back. Itama hid in one of the rooms down the hall.
Itachi and Shisui sighed at the behavior of the two Clans. Turning to the blonde Kagami smiled softly. Trying his best to not look intimidating. Didn't that other girl say cops...?
"We're cops. We're here to help!" He only hoped that would get the blonde to hopefully not try anything stupid.
"Right..." Says the blonde skeptically as she gives Kagami the "you were saying" face.
"That's why Jeri's on the ground unconscious, and glass everywhere. You all being naked doesn't help your case either, buster!" Lori remarks and sadly, they all knew it was true. That didn't help their case.
"But-" Hahsirama was interrupted when Lori jumped over the kitchen counter with the arm that didn't hurt. She reaches for the IPhone and since she keeps a password, it has "Emergency call" on the screen which she's clicks and it begins to dial 911.
"What are you doing?" Hahsirama questioned. Lori grabbed the second closest thing next to her, a huge kitchen knife. She winced as she held it with her dominant hand, her hurt one. Ready to stab the fuck out of anyone she ran to Jeri and was ready to protect her, even if they didn't get along. Lori ignored the searing pain in her hand and arm, as well as the amounts of blood flowing down her arm she and dripping off her elbows. Her hand was bloodied.
"911, what's your emergency?" Sounded from the phone and all people in the room vaguely heard it. Itachi knew what she wasn't doing. She was calling the cops.
"Break in with the perps still here-" Lori never got to finish...
Because Itachi grabbed the phone away from her hand faster than her eyes could see. He ended the call by hitting the red button and tossed it away To the other side of the room. Lori was so regretting her decision of never turning her locations or her cellular data on at that moment.
Lori took a few deep breaths through her nose and let the mind out slowly. She has been in situations similar to this but never like this. She's been in life's or death situations before she just needs to stay calm.
"Uh... Wait! Please, I would put my hands up but... Ah..." Shisui pleaded and tried to explain the situation.
"We are not going to hurt you woman, nor will we hurt the other one." Tobirama assures but then Madara smirks deviously.
"Not much anyway..." Madara licks his lips looking like a hungry predator causing Lori to tighten her grip on the handle of the kitchen knife, her hands turning bone white. Fierce crystal eyes clashed with the dark ones of Madara's.
"Madara!" Yells Hahsirama in warning. This causes Lori to tense up slightly as it was not pleasant for her to hear yelling.
Itachi, Kagami and Shisui looked sharply at the elder Uchiha in a silent promise that should he try to attack or force himself upon either teens he will have them to deal with. That would not only disgrace the Uchiha name, but also is degrading and torturous. It takes away everything from the woman... Or man if the man is the victim.
"You will not touch either of them..." Itachi says in a tone that he meant business. His voice as icy as the knife Lori held in her hand. He would never, allow rape.
"Madara... Cover yourself up." Hahsirama orders to the Ichiha who still stands proudly with everything out in the open. Tobirama gains a tick mark at the older man's indecency.
Shisui looked to Lori hopefully. "So... do you know where some clothes are? For guys?" He grinned sheepishly.
Lori only stared Shisui down for a moment before nodding. "Down the hall on the left, there should be some guy clothes." They nodded before disappearing down the hall returning a few minutes later fully clothed in either pants and various shirts or sleeping shorts and a shirt.
Hashirama immediately made his way to Lori and Jeri knowing that Jeri was okay and unharmed he made work of Lori. He was the doctor after all.
He brought back with him some clean water, a rag, a pair of tweezers and a bowl to clean the blonde's wounds and remove the glass from her arm. Before he started he paused and looked at her. "Doesn't it hurt?"
Lori looked at him bluntly. "No. I've hurt my arm so many times in the past I don't even feel it anymore. I guess I kinda built up a pain tolerance you could say." This information struk Hashirama as new seeing as she claims to feel no pain in her arm or hand yet she is still bleeding. Well, not bleeding much anymore… What he didn't know was that Lori had lied easily.
He put that aside and gently patted her hand and arm down with the damp rag making sure not to rub so that way the glass would not embed themselves even deeper into the skin. After he was able to distinguish glass from skin and water with slight mix of blood he began to carefully pull out pieces of shards from her skin, always glancing up at her face to make sure she was in fact not in pain. Her facial expression never changed from her usual cold stoic expression.
He was done picking out all the shards out of her skin after one hour and proceeded to heal her with his medical ninjutsu. Once Lori saw his hands glow green with healing chakra as he focused his chakra into the palms of his hands ever so gently to ensure they wouldn't cause harm and instead heal, Lori's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates and she clenched her left fist ready to uppercut the ninja. Hashirama's eyes noticed her hand and locked his eyes with her.
"Relax. It is only medical ninjutsu." He said softly.
Lori's blue eyes narrowed. "Medical ninjutsu?" She repeated but as a question causing the first to nod in answer.
"It's where you use your chakra to heal." Hashirama further explained ash he slowly put his hands on Lori's arm and hand, feeling her muscles relax as she felt the heat of the chakra flow. It was warm but not hot, just right, like the sunlight on your skin. Perfect. Lori wouldn't admit it but she was truly grateful for this act of kindness by a stranger. Or at least part of her was.
Once he was done he pulled his hands away giving the blonde a childish grin. "There, you should be good now! Can you move your arm for me?" Lori did as he had asked as thanks and found she was able to move her arm no problem as well as her hand. "No pain." She answered his unspoken question.
Itachi had checked over Jeri and found that she was alright.
Izuna walked over towards the blue eyed girl. "Are you an Uchiha as well?" Lori only stared at him, completely lost. Had they been hosting psychos? "A what…?"
Today was really busy with school and I wanted to go to bed since it's 10:14 where I'm at lol so I managed to type this chapter up for you guys. I put a lot of thought into this chapter and my hands are stiff from all the typing I've been doing today!
I know I did a bit of foreshadowing in this chapter and I was wondering if someone would pick up on my other usages of language?
The reason Lori was more focused on getting the ninja clothes instead of freaking out or trying to interigate them right them and there was because she wouldn't be able to focus on interrogating them for they are hot and naked, and she was outnumbered 10 to 1. She knew they needed clothes because, well, they were NAKED. The snake got in from the doggy door that the cat uses and Lori doesn't know how to handle a snake she was just using common sense. The snakes head was basically in her hand so she was fast enough to be able to hold it properly as all she had to do was close her hand.
Questions for this chapter:
Q1: Why did Lori treat Jeri that way? And what did she mean by she would not be staying for long? Should Jeri had dropped Lori on her ass when she opened her mouth the first time?
Q2: What is your favorite Clan?
Q3: what is your favorite Element?
Q4: who do you want Lori to end up with?
Q5: What's your favorite Clan?
AU: Thank you so much for the reviews FailingErin! And thank you dear readers for the likes, favorites and follows! It really means a lot to me, like you don't even know. I enjoyed hearing your comments and thoughts as well as answering my questions at the bottom of each chapter!
Because of school it has been hard for me to update my stories but I managed to get this done in class when we were doing nothing and had free time, this is a longer chapter than what the other's were and I usually make mine about 5,000 words or more! If you see any grammatical errors, please let me know and Constructive Criticism is accepted!
R&R!
