I don't own naruto.

Zoe's POV

I woke up with a pounding headache, an upset stomach, Onyxcia on top of me, and a weird craving for a Big Mac. Problem one and two could be solved with Advil and Midol, problem four could be solved with a vehicle and ten bucks, problem three could probably be solved with a baseball bate, but both problem two and three also involved movement and effort, which I couldn't seem to muster up because I felt like I was going to be sick. Thus, problem five was created. I couldn't go to the movie.

"Get up, get up, get up," Onyx chanted in my ear excitedly. "It's almost six! The movie is at 6:45!"

"I told her you weren't feeling well and you probably weren't going, but she wouldn't listen," Beth snickered. "So, you're not going?"

I shook my head, pulling myself up from my cocoon of blankets and pillows, "how'd you know I wasn't feeling good?" I questioned as I stroked Megaladon who was napping beside me when I decided to move. The rest of the kittens were on the floor next to Beth's and Onyx's newly arrived feet.

She raised her eyebrow questioningly at me, "do you not remember getting up and coming downstairs? You told me that you were coming upstairs for a nap," she stated with worry evident in her voice.

"Did I really?" I asked, starting to peel the blankets off of my body. I slung my legs over the side of the bed as Beth's head nodded.

"I have the kettle boiling now," Onyxcia stated with a smile. She pulled her phone out of her bra (common girl thing) and I'm assuming she checked the time with a sigh before looking at Beth, "well, looks like we get to take care of her. I guess we weren't thinking because the movie started a half hour ago."

I looked at the two in confusion, "Onyx, you never miss a movie. Did you guys miss it on purpose?"

Beth shrugged, picking up whatever kitten that happened to be beside her, which happened to be Thor, and rubbed her face against his back, "we couldn't just leave you here while you're sick. You'd probably kill all of the cats and sleep longer than you're supposed to."

I sighed, knowing that she was right.

"Onyx, why don't you go make her some tea?" Beth asked, looking at the girl that was still sitting on my bed.

"Okay," she chirped, kissing my cheek before leaving the room.

Onyx's POV

As I made my way to the kitchen, I noticed that I had two little followers tagging behind me. I shrugged, dismissing their strange behavior, simply because they were weird cats in general. I flicked the tea kettle on, grabbing my phone and scrolled through Tumblr until I heard the kettle stop. I walked over to the counter and grabbed a cup out of the cupboards and a tea bag out of the little jar we had next to the kettle. I put the teabag in before pouring the hot water into the cup, stirring it afterwards. I added the necessary amounts of sugar and milk before starting to walk up the stairs.

Of course, the world hates me, however. Or, maybe Little Monster just hates me. Who knows?

So, of course, the little shithead tripped me on my way up the stairs, causing me to spill the tea all over him. I stared at him for a moment and he stared back before his body began twitching awkwardly and he began to gag. Before I knew it, I was watching a little kitten turn, morph, into a full-grown human being, causing me to scream as loud as I possibly could and run out of the room.

"What was that?" Beth's voice shouted, and as I opened my mouth to respond, a hand wrapped around my mouth and I was soon consumed by darkness.

When I woke up again, I glanced around, feeling something around my body preventing me from moving. Soon after, I laid my eyes on Zoe who was lying in her bed, a cloth resting on her forehead. About a foot behind me, Beth was also tied up to Zoe's desk chair.

"Beth..?" I whispered, catching her attention almost instantly.

"Onyx," she breathed out, looking terrified. "Who were those people? Do you remember anything?"

"I… I had Zoe's tea and I was walking upstairs, and then the cat tripped me…" I downcast my eyes. "I don't remember anything else other than running."

She sighed, looking around more. "T-there were a bunch of men. One of them came in here with you over their shoulder and he threw you on the bed next to Zoe," she whispered. "You were unconscious, and when I got up to run, someone knocked me out."

All of a sudden, the door flew open, causing me to attempt to turn around as far as I could to try to see who was walking in uninvited. Soon enough, though, the person came into view. The first thing I noticed about the man was the bright orange hair, I then noticed the woman walking behind him. They sat on the edge of Zoe's bed, taking the cloth off of her forehead. I opened my mouth, trying to form the courage to tell those people to get away from the sick woman, but they were obviously a lot stronger than us.

The woman rested her hand on Zoe's forehead, whispering to herself as she moved her hand around her face. "We're not going to hurt her," her voice cooed, without her looking back at us. "I'm trying to help her. She's the only reason you two are still alive."

"I- uh," I stuttered, attempting to force the words out.

"You're lucky she's here." The man stated, turning back to us. "She promised to tell us everything we needed to know as long as we kept you alive." I noticed all of the piercings that graced everywhere on his face, the headband with a familiar scratch through the design, the sweatpants and the fishnet shirt and in those couple of seconds, I realized what was happening.

"Oh my God…" Beth stuttered before I got the chance to do so. "Are- Are you Pein? And Konan?"

"So, you also know of us," he stated, standing up. Suddenly, he pointed a knife at me, looking at Beth. "Tell me everything you know about us, where we are, and why we're here." He stated, narrowing his eyes at her. "Or else I'll kill her."

Well! I have an idea! It's called 'learn how to keep updating your stories'. Which is what I'm going to try to do. Probably not going to learn how to do so, but whatever.
