As per usual, I do not own Naruto. I wish I did.
First person!
It didn't take long before Konan had shown up with Beth at her side, looking around curiously. Her eyes locked with mine as she pranced over and grabbed both Onyxcia's hand and mine, pulling us away.
"I'm not finished with girls night yet," She declared, starting back in the direction of the lodge.
Beth giggled from where she had remained, glancing at Deidara with a large smile tugging on her lips. I grinned at it and turned to Sasori, who was already smirking in my direction.
We all walked back towards the lodge with large smiles spread across our faces.
"So, Konan," I hummed, side-stepping a large branch that laid in my path. Onyxcia didn't notice it and tripped, cussing loudly as she hit the ground.
She let out a small laugh at Onyxcia, "Yes?"
"We never got to ask," I began, allowing Onyxcia to hook onto my arm for support as she stood. "Are you and Pein a couple?"
She blushed at the mention of the ginger, enticing a giggle from Beth.
"She's blushing!" Beth cooed, hugging Konan tightly to her body. "Spill, please!"
Onyxcia grinned, "You guys have always been my OTP, but I've never actually asked if you guys were actually a couple."
"OTP?" Konan asked quietly, clearly confused.
"One true pairing," I clarified as we stepped within eyesight of the lodge. "And, for the record," I smirked as we all shuffled up the stairs. I stared at my frozen breaths as they escaped my mouth, "You guys have always been my favorite couple too."
"We aren't a couple," She said sadly. "I believe that he thinks I'm still in love with Yahiko."
"Yahiko?" Beth murmured, turning to Onyxcia slightly as we all walked in the lodge, kicking our shoes off.
"Yahiko was a good friend of mine and Nagato's," Konan said with a small smile. "I loved him when we were younger, but that was nearly 19 years ago. Now," She whispered quietly, "Now I love Nagato."
"I think you should tell him," I nodded, a reassuring smile resting on my features. "What could go wrong?"
"Who is Nagato," Beth whispered with furrowed brows. "What about Pein?"
"Nagato is Pein. Kind of," I sighed with a small giggle. I turned to Konan who looked at Beth with confusion, "She isn't caught up in the show, so she doesn't know all of this. Onyxcia and I do, however," I smiled.
"It's still hard to believe we're from a show," Konan said with a small sigh.
"Imagine what it feels like for us!" Onyxcia laughed. "One day you guys are figments of someone's imagination, and the next you're our cats. Really something crazy," She said in awe.
"I wonder if the Avengers are real," Beth thought out loud, a finger on her lip as she thought.
"Who are the Avengers?" Konan asked.
Beth's head whipped around to look at the kunoichi, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
"Oh no," I whispered to myself, grabbing the bottle of wine we had cracked open earlier. I quickly poured a glass for Onyxcia and myself, a small defeated sigh escaping my lips.
We clinked our glasses together as we watched Beth drag Konan over to the couch, pulling Google up on her phone while undoubtedly searching up the movie descriptions.
"How long do you think she'll do this for?" Onyxcia snickered, her head resting on my shoulder as we stood in the middle of the loft.
"As long as Konan sits there. Konan is too sweet to stop her, though, so hopefully something will stop her," I hummed, sipping on the wine. "Or, we get drunk and distract her."
A smirk tugged at Onyxcia's lips largely, "Whatever happens first."
Third Person!
Sasori ducked Itachi's foot as it came towards his face quickly, a satisfied smirk spread across his lips at his reflexes. "So, Itachi," Sasori started as his fist flew past the Uchiha's face.
Itachi's eyebrow arched upwards as his fingers quickly formed the correct signs for a fireball that he sent towards the older man. "What is it, Sasori?"
"Are you and Onyxcia an item?" The redhead hummed, his body jeering to the left as he dodged the fireball.
"Since when do you gossip, Sasori?" Itachi asked, pausing. He cocked his head to the side, "This is unlike you."
"I've noticed it too," Kisame called over his shoulder, a teethy grin sent in his partner's direction as he thoughtlessly dodged Deidara's attack.
"I've noticed it too, Uchiha," Deidara said with an annoyed expression, stumbling as he caught himself. "It seems like she finally pulled that pole out of your ass, yeah."
"Are we all a bunch of teenagers now?" Itachi wondered, looking around at the three men that had paused in their sparring. Kakuzu and Hidan continued to fight further back, Hidan's cusses and yells ignored by everyone around. Pein stood a meter away from the fight, observing with an annoyed expression settled on his face.
Tobi and Zetsu continued fighting meters from the Zombie Duo, Tobi laughing to himself as he sent random kunai towards Hidan.
The three ninja continued to stand in front of the weasel, curious looks on all of their faces.
He sighed, "She kissed me today. Though, I had no time to react before she freaked out and ran away," He explained. His red orbs narrowed, "So no, Onyxcia and I are not an item."
"So hostile," Kisame whistled, throwing a smirk towards Deidara. "Glad to see you're finally getting some human contact, partner."
"Zoe called it," Sasori sighed, shaking his head at the thought of the younger woman.
Deidara smirked at the mention of Zoe, noting Sasori's expression when the name fell from his lips. He decided to not annoy his Danna, however, and kept his sly comments to himself.
"What are you shitheads talkin' about?" Hidan wondered as he sauntered over to the group. Kakuzu, Pein, Zetsu and Tobi followed closely behind, engulfed in their own conversation.
"How much we were enjoying the silence," Sasori sighed, rolling his eyes. Kisame snickered at the redheads annoyance within the moments that Hidan had been in his presence.
"Most easily annoyed award goes to Danna, yeah," Deidara laughed. His blue orbs travelled over to Hidan, "And the most annoying goes to Hidan."
"Fuck you, blondie!" Hidan snarled, a whine escaping his lips. "All you fuckers around here wanna do is argue, argue, argue! I'm sick of it!"
Kakuzu stared at him, "You're fucking kidding, right? We all want to argue?"
Deidara snorted at Kakuzu's outburst, turning on his heel as he shot in the direction of the lodge. The other ninja all followed suit, clearly bored of the argument that Kakuzu and Hidan had once again gotten into.
They fought constantly. The only reason Hidan was still Kakuzu's partner was due to his immortality, and nothing more.
Oh, how he could kill the ignorant bastard…
They all landed in front of the wooden building within seconds, their ninja speed making it take much less speed than the girls whom had walked there before.
Deidara smiled at the sound of the snow crunching beneath his feet as an idea flew into his head. He reached down quickly, grabbing two fistfuls of snow in each hand. Once the mounds of snow were rolled into balls, he turned towards Hidan, launching one ball towards his face and another towards a window on the house.
"And Tony Stark is-" Beth started, her attention snapping up to the window as a snowball hit it. Her eyebrows raised at it, wandering over to it to inspect who had thrown it.
A small breath that Konan had no idea she was holding released from her lips.
How could someone know that much about a movie?
"Don't worry," Zoe snickered slightly from her spot in a bean bag chair. She was sprawled backwards over it, Onyxcia laying directly on the floor beside her. "She's been cut off and her attention is elsewhere," she giggled, her cheeks tinged pink.
Konan's eyes widened, "You guys got drunk," She laughed.
"Tipsy!" Onyxcia corrected, pointing in the older womans direction. "Not drunk. We only get drunk when we all drink together."
Beth's fingers curled on the window, slowly pulling it up. Hidan's loud angry voice reached her ears immediately as she stared at the scene in front of her.
"Fuck you Deidara!" Hidan roared, grabbing a fist full of snow as he shot it towards the blonde. The poorly made snowball fell apart mid air, pieces of it hitting Sasori, Kakuzu, and Itachi.
Kakuzu's eyes narrowed as his hand fell from his arm, staring at the Jashinist as he effortlessly made a large snowball with a rock embedded in the middle of it. He launched it towards him with a grunt, a chuckle escaping his lips as it smashed against the immature mans head, knocking him off of his feet.
Itachi's sharingan had blazed as soon as the snow hit his raven locks, turning a chilling glare towards Deidara. "Did you just hit me with a snowball?"
"What, un?" Deidara demanded loudly. He shook his head quickly, an angry look thrown towards the Uchiha, "Fuck you, Itachi! It was Hidan, not me, yeah!"
"It was the brat," Sasori lied smoothly, a smirk resting on his face. Itachi frowned, rolling a ball of snow in his hands as he threw it at the young artist. Deidara immediately went to retaliate, his newly formed snowball directed at Sasori this time.
A loud giggle erupted from Beth's lips, catching everyone's attention from inside and out. "Snowball fight!" She cheered, slamming the window shut as she spun on her heel and darted outside.
Onyxcia and Zoe each laughed at their friends sudden exuberance, pulling themselves to their feet.
"Come on Konan," Zoe urged with a smile as she tugged on her hand. "This is gonna be good."
All four girls flew out of the house as soon as their shoes were on their feet, not bothering with their jackets or mittens. When the cold air hit their skin, they watched in awe at the scene in front of them.
Zetsu and Tobi each had tens of snowballs sitting proudly in front of them as they each waited for someone to challenge them.
Deidara and Sasori were launching snowballs at each other left and right, Sasori displaying a thoroughly annoyed expression. Deidara let out a loud laugh with each snowball that hit his Danna, enjoying his moments of glory.
That was, before Sasori hit him in the throat with a snowball.
"Ouch, Danna!" Deidara cried, his hands reaching up to his throat.
Itachi effortlessly dodged each snowball that Kisame threw towards him, his sharingan still ablaze as he watched the blue mans moves carefully. "You will not hit me, Kisame," He sighed, tilting his head just enough to miss the snowball that flew towards him.
"That's what you think," Kisame snickered, continuing his pursuit.
Kakuzu had Hidan's face pressed into the snow, an angry look on his face as he muttered to himself.
Pein watched from beside the house, dumbfounded. What happened to the Akatsuki?
Zoe darted towards Sasori and Deidara, forming two snowballs before she reached them. Her tongue stuck out as she concentrated, hurling the a ball towards each man.
They both dodged without a second glance towards the short girl, enticing a pout from her.
Sasori chuckled, "We're ninja, Zoe."
"That's not fair," She said seriously. He noted the slight slurring of her words and looked at her blankly for a moment. "What?" She asked, her hands on her hips as he stared at her.
"Are you drunk?" He asked. Deidara paused in the attack he was preparing to look at the short girl in confusion.
"Drunk?" He repeated in confusion, turning to Beth who had appeared at his side seconds before. "She's drunk, yeah?"
"Tipsy!" Zoe corrected quickly, spinning on her heel as she pointed at the teenager.
Beth rolled her eyes at her friend, glancing up to Deidara's face, "Tipsy," She laughed. "They're tipsy."
Onyxcia darted towards Itachi, quickly pressing herself onto the mans back. His eyes widened in shock as he turned, glancing at the blonde over his shoulder.
Kisame grinned at the opportunity, the snowball rolling off of his fingertips easily as he inwardly cheered. It connected with Itachi's cheek, exploding off of his face in an instant.
His red eyes flashed, turning onto Kisame immediately.
"Awww," Onyxcia pouted, her arms snaking around Itachi's neck as she buried her face in his hair. "Kisa, don't pick on 'Tachi!"
"I wouldn't dream of it," Kisame said, a laugh rumbling from his chest.
Itachi crouched down to the ground, picking up a ball of snow and passing it to the small girl that remained on his back. He hooked his arms under her knees, "Are you ready to get him, Onyxcia?"
"Please," She scoffed. A large smile spread across her lips as Kisame paled slightly, "I was born ready."
Konan stood next to Pein, watching him as he observed the ninja surrounding them. Zetsu and Tobi had finally decided to come off of the defense. They ambushed Kakuzu and Hidan, to which Kakuzu stared at them, fully considering ripping their throats out.
Pein's stern gaze met Kakuzu's easily. He'd never admit it, but those ringed eyes intimidated even him.
He considered his next actions carefully, fully aware of his Leaders hard gaze on his back. His lips pressed together in a fine line, forming two snowballs that he launched towards Zetsu and Tobi seconds later.
He'd just have to settle for beating them at such a childish game.
"Um, Pein," Konan started, fiddling with her fingers quietly. Her gaze lifted up to Zoe who laughed loudly as Sasori controlled her with his puppet strings, the pair working together against Deidara and Beth.
"I think you should tell him. What would go wrong?"
The reassuring words from her caretaker danced around in her head as she bit her lip.
"What is it?" He asked with concern, turning his pierced face towards her. "Is something wrong?"
"No," She smiled. "I was just wondering; could we talk later?" She asked nervously. Her gaze met his uncharacteristically soft one, "In private," She clarified.
"Of course," he nodded, turning his attention back to his underlings.
First Person!
After the snowball fight, we decided to make a few frozen pizzas.
Of course, despite my annoyance, I was the one left to clean up while everyone else watched a movie. Humming to myself, I scraped the crusts of Beth's pizza into the compost, knowing she was the only one who refused to eat them. I rolled my eyes slightly at the thought, placing the dish into the soapy water in front of me.
I glanced up from the dishes I'd been scrubbing and looked out of the large kitchen window above the sink. My eyebrows furrowed slightly as I saw Sasori outside, the porch light shining on his hair. He focused on the Third Kazekage that laid proudly on the table, twiddling with the fingers.
I pulled my mothers long pink gloves off of my hands and walked towards the door, slipping my shoes on. I pulled it open, frowning at the gust of cold air that hit my face, but continued outside.
I walked up behind him, glancing at the puppet, "What happened?" Scorch marks travelled up the right side of the puppet.
He looked up at me, a small smile pulling at his lips, "The brat damaged it during sparring earlier with one of his explosions. I'm just making sure it still functions properly."
"Cool," I whispered, stepping next to him.
His eyes lifted and met my exposed arms, "You should have a coat on."
I shrugged, my eyes meeting his quickly. "I'll be fine. Besides, we won't be out here for too long, I assume," I giggled as I looked up.
A snowflake fell from the sky and hit his nose, enticing a glare from the Ex-Suna ninja. "I hate winter," He frowned, standing.
I watched in awe as he sealed the Third Kazekage, the puppet disappearing with a poof into the scroll. I took a step towards him, reaching forwards to grab the scroll curiously, though the world disagreed with me.
My foot slid as soon as it hit the ground, a gasp escaping my lips quickly as I tumbled towards the ground. I shut my eyes tight, preparing for the impact, but a pair of arms wrapped tightly around my waist.
I pried my eyes open slowly, staring up at Sasori as he held me inches from the ground, a shocked expression on his face.
The scene was perfect. Snowflakes fell around us quickly, my eyes focused intently on his as his breath fanned my face. I couldn't help the butterflies that flew around in the pit of my stomach, nor could I help the blush that spread like wildfire across my face.
"Thank you," I breathed out finally as he lifted me back up to my feet.
I watched as his eyes travelled over me, smiling at him. He admired me for a few moments, much to my embarrassment, as well as my satisfaction.
He smirked at me, his eyes settled on my lips. My mouth fell open slightly as he gently rose a hand to the side of my head, tracing a finger over my jawline.
"You're beautiful, you know," He said simply, his gaze meeting mine briefly before he continued. His fingers traced my whole face, causing me to shiver at his contact. His fingers brushed across my lips before his thumb rose up and pushed down on my bottom lip.
He smiled gently at the blush that intensified, obviously content with what he was doing to me.
What was he doing to me?
His hand lifted up from my face, my eyes trailing after it as my skin suddenly begged for his touch to come back. His fingers twirled one of my curly black locks before he tugged it behind my ear. Before I could blink, his hand curled around the back of my head and he pulled me against his body.
And he fucking kissed me.
It took me a few moments to register what was going on before smiling into the kiss, my arms snaking around his neck as his left arm hooked around my waist. His soft lips pressed against mine, my head spinning as I thought about it.
I pulled away slightly, his breath still hitting my face as I looked up into his eyes. We stayed like that for a second before I swallowed the lump in my throat.
"You know," I whispered, my eyes twinkling playfully. "For a man who was a puppet for almost 20 years, you're a fantastic kisser."
