Naruto: Masashi Kishimoto
Tsume Ryuu: Rin!
Gin followed close behind me, not knowing her way through the dim candle lit corridors of the new Akatsuki hideout we had moved to after the first was destroyed. "Deidara San? Are you sure about this?" She had been acting nervous since we got here, un. I smiled, and turned to look at her.
"I'm sure, un."
I saw her nod, trying to seem certain. We neared the entrance to the main room, and I could hear voices echoing down the hallway from inside.
"I have my reasons for not giving Zetsu a partner, but the only reason you're alone is that we were lacking members." That was Senpai's voice.
I recognized the female that answered as Ryuu. "Excuse me again, Senpai, but were?"
Senpai continued. "Deidara says he's found someone to fill the spot left by Sasori's death. According to him, the replacement is indeed female, why I am assigning her to you, and not to Deidara." I wish that was the only reason, un.
"I'm sorry, Senpai, but what kind of reason is that?" Uh-oh. Ryuu didn't ever talk back to Senpai. She was not taking this well, un. Now seemed like as good a time as any to interrupt.
"Hi, Ryuu Sama! Senpai!" I said loudly, trying to sound as cheerful as I possibly could. Gin followed me as I strode into the room, watched by a shadowy figure and a small Kunoichi my age, un. Ryuu Sama.
Ryuu was incredibly small, un. About five feet, and weighing much less then someone her age should. Her snowy white bangs fell over the red cloth blindfold she kept over her eyes at all times. Tsume Ryuu, the S-ranked criminal, possibly the most dangerous person to ever come out of Kumogakure, and irreplaceable member of Akatsuki- had been blind her entire life.
"Deidara Sama? Is that you?" She asked, looking right at me.
"Yeah, Hi, Ryuu Sama!" I waved enthusiastically, knowing that she could hear my sleeve flapping. I turned as Senpai called me.
"Show Ryuu her new partner. You know who I mean."
"Of course, Senpai," I answered as he left the room. "Ryuu Sama, this is Baikan Gin. She used to be from Amegakure, un. And Gin, this is Tsume Ryuu. Your partner, un. Oh! And before I forget..." I searched through my coat for a moment, pulling out the item that had been troubling me so much a few days earlier. "Left thumb." I instructed her, dropping Sasori Danna's ring into her hand.
"Deidara Sama." Ryuu's serious voice pronounced sharply. "I know you are just following orders. But I cannot accept this."
"Why not, un?" I tried, knowing that it would do no good. "She's definitely strong, un. And it gets lonely without a partner..."
"I don't care how strong she is. I can take care of myself. You should know that, Deidara Sama."
I knew I would never win. There was no changing Ryuu's mind. "These are Senpai's orders."
"Fine." She snapped. "So tell me. What do you look like." Her sightless gaze was still on me, though it was directed at Gin. Being blind, Ryuu needed descriptions of people's appearances. Gin looked surprised, but answered after a moment's thought.
"Well, umm... I guess I'm about a half a foot taller than you...er...my hair goes a bit past my shoulders..."
"And you have a pointy nose, un." I teased, trying to get her to relax a little.
"No I don't." She replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes it is, un!" I answered happily.
"And... I have a pointy nose." She admitted, smiling finally.
Ryuu, who was unamused, if not disgusted, by that display sighed, before turning on her heel and starting for the exit. Gin looked back at me, unsure of what to do. "Go on, un."I said, motioning towards Ryuu and smiling encouragingly.
She nodded, before taking off at a run after Ryuu, who was disappearing into the darkened hallway. She turned, giving me a fleeting wave goodbye as she ran, before she too was out of sight.
I felt... Sad all of a sudden, un. I was alone again. And Ryuu... She would never accept Gin as her partner. Her equal. She would see Gin like a tag-along, a worthless, cheap substitute for Sasori Danna. She would never know how useful Gin would be to her.
Ryuu's strength was derived from the Tsume clan's Kekkai Genkai. From three marks on Ryuu's back, she was able to summon three dragons of varying strength, or combine all three to form one dragon, with three times the strength of any one of them. This made her incredibly dangerous, un, but it came at a terrible price. The real danger in the techniques was to Ryuu herself. Her bloodline limit was self-sacrificing.
Summoning any one of the dragons, let alone all three caused massive internal damage to Ryuu. It had only taken one to beat Kukazu, but in exchange for the power the dragon gave her, she had almost bled to death, un, and had been unable to fight for a long time.
Of course, when Senpai heard of her family's ability, he had been interested in bringing some of that blood into the organization after my first partner had been killed.
Ryuu had been half dead when Itachi brought her back to Akatsuki. A while before Itachi had found her, she had passed out, and her bloodline limit had gone out of control, un. The death count had been in the seventies, un.
Ryuu hated herself for that. She had started drinking a while after joining Akatsuki, and we all knew why. Ryuu wanted to die more than anything, un. But death was her greatest fear. She hopes that she would eventually pass out, and never wake up. Semi-intentional suicide.
Unfortunatly, if Ryuu gets drunk enough, her bloodline limit can go ballistic. So it scares us to no end when she gets plastered, un.
Ryuu is unable to fight without risking death. And Gin is a medic. Like it or not, Gin is more then useful to Ryuu, un. Necessary. But Ryuu would never see it that way. Gin would be a nuisance. A burden.
Wether intentional or not, I got the feeling that Ryuu would make Gin's life miserable. It's hard to make Ryuu any more miserable than she usually is, un. I can picture Ryuu walking down the hallway, a more pronounced frown than usual on her face, pale enough to rival Orochimaru. With her white hair and complexion, it's almost like someone forgot to color her in, un.
I could picture Gin, a full head taller, blue grey hair falling in her face, trying to make conversation with her new partner, being shot down at every comment.
I felt like I was abandoning her, un. I loved Ryuu like a sister, really I do... But for the last while, I couldn't help but see Gin as my partner, un. And I knew. She would be unhappy, and because it was Senpai's orders, I couldn't do anything, un.
All I could do was watch, un, and hope for the best.
Yep XDD it's done n.n Thank you so much for reading this, and please review n.n
