The Shinobi's
Guide to Voodoo
By Kaori
We left off last time with Kiba and Naruto in a panic. The voodoo kit is missing and they have no idea where it could have gone to. Fortunately for us, we are privy to information that they are not, so let's re-wind a bit to the torture-fest a la Gaara…
As you remember, Gaara had spent a significant amount of time beating the shit out of the blonde and the brunette during which time there was sand all over the room. Kiba's gonna have a heck of a time cleaning his room after this…but I digress… Anyway with all that roughhousing going on Gaara's sand had picked up the voodoo kit and consequently, ended up carrying it up until when Gaara got tired of torturing Uzukami and Inuzuka.
So now, the voodoo kit is conveniently lodged in the sand making up Gaara's gourd and on its merry way towards Wind Country.
"Gaara, you're back early." Temari commented as her youngest brother walked through the door.
"Yes." Gaara nodded, shifting a little.
"See anybody we know?"
"Uzumaki Naruto and one of his friends. I think his name is Inuzuka Kiba."
"I see…" Temari hummed.
"We had a…spar." Gaara shifted from foot to foot as he tried to adjust his gourd. For some reason the weight of it seemed off slightly.
"Gaara…are you…fidgeting? You look more uncomfortable than usual." Gaara frowned and his sand started trickling out of the gourd. Temari's eyes widened before she shut them tight. "No! Wait! I didn't mean anything bad by it! I was just worried about you! If I offended you in any way I'm sorry just please don't kill me!"
"What are you talking about?" Gaara asked. Temari very slowly opened her eyes.
Gaara was standing there looking very confused and holding a box; there was sand all over the floor around him.
"Er…never mind… What have you got there?"
"I don't know it was caught up in my sand. I thought something felt off with it…"
"Oh." Temari said half-relieved and half-disappointed (relief because she wasn't going to die yet and disappointment because she got all worked up for nothing). "May I see it?"
"Keep it." Gaara shrugged, handing Temari the box and heading up to his room. Temari looked at it.
"Home Voodoo Kit: For all your revenge needs." She smirked. "Revenge huh…"
Baki was attending a jounin meeting with the stand-in Kazekage. Gaara wouldn't be starting official duty until he had been inducted so for the time being one of the council members was filling in. Suddenly he felt a nerve in his arm twitch but he chose to ignore it.
"Furthermore, you all need to start thinking about the..." the stand-in droned. Baki's leg started twitching and, although more difficult, he ignored that too. Unfortunately, the longer he tried to ignore what was happening to him the worse it seemed to get. "…missions until further notice." The twitching was starting to become somewhat rhythmic and pretty soon…
"What the hell!" the jounin standing next to him exclaimed. Everyone turned to look and jaws dropped.
Baki…was hula dancing. Mortified, Baki tried to stop himself but found that he had no control over his limbs at all. He immediately suspected Kankuro but noticed the distinct lack of chakra strings. What the hell was happening?
Elsewhere, Kankuro was having much the same problem. Unfortunately for him, he was outside of a store when his body decided to have a hula dancing session without his consent. Briefly he wondered if this is what his puppets felt like before trying to stop himself.
In her bedroom, Temari laughed evilly to herself. "Dance puppets! Dance!" She made the voodoo doll do the splits, faintly she heard two screams coming from opposite directions. It had been so easy to get a little bit of Baki and Kankuro's hair and stick it into her doll. Apparently, you can use the same voodoo doll on multiple people simply by placing something that had been in their possession on the doll. However, it meant that both people would be doing the same thing at the same time.
"Temari what are you doing in there!" Gaara's voice filtered through her closed door.
"Leave me alone unless you want me to do it to you!" she yelled back. Silence. She grinned. The first time she had used this threat she had been in the bathroom shaving her legs and Gaara, not feeling threatened in the least by the threat, barged in. Naturally, he was somewhat horrified and Temari did indeed make good on her promise. Ever since then, Temari's youngest brother has been more wary of barging in on his sister whenever he feels like it. Gleefully, Temari continued playing with the doll.
Back to Naruto and Kiba, having given up looking for the original voodoo kit, they decided to buy a new one. This one was a slightly better as it even included a pouch of Medium Grade Zombie Powder.
"It says here that it will make anyone that swallows it your slave for a day." Kiba read the bottle. Naruto got the most evil look on his face Kiba had seen yet; Akamaru ducked down into his master's jacket not liking the look one bit. "What are you planning and how far away do I need to run?"
Who is Naruto planning to use this on? Will it work? I suppose you'll just have to wait and see!
