I blinked a few times and realized that I was back in my own room, on my own bed. I checked the time on my phone and it read 5:00 am on the 21st. Only 6 days have passed? Weird. I guess it's a 1:1 conversion rate. One month to one day, I mean I was in a different dimension but who knows. Maybe I fell into a coma? To be completely honest I have no clue.
Standing up from my bed grabbing my phone I look to see I had an unholy amount of messages and about 87 missed calls. Opening messages I began to read them.
"Sphere, why did you ditch class?" Monday 4:56 pm
"Dude are you ok?" Tuesday 12:11 pm
"Where are you?" Tuesday 8:09 pm
"Bitch I'm coming over!" Wednesday 10:04 am
"Ok, what the fuck?! Where are you? It's like you haven't been in your apartment in days!" Wednesday 10:15 am
"Please… Come home" Thursday 2:18 pm
"Sphere I hope you're safe. I fed Chaos" Thursday 5:30 pm
"Please… Where did you go?" Thursday 10:59 pm
"Sapherya…" Friday 7:45 am
"Why are you not answering?" Saturday 9:23 am
There were a lot more messages like this. It broke my heart seeing this as I kept reading them. It wasn't till the last message when I snapped and began shaking sobbing. I felt my whole world shattered. I couldn't believe the world was so cruel that it took me away. It left Penelope alone for so long. I knew it was just a week but she's my evil twin and the other half, she literally was at my place almost 24/7. She basically lived with me half the time. I couldn't bear to read any more of this. I was just happy that I knew that she worries about me. I noticed the specific time on the last message and it made me wonder.
"I wish you'd come home…" Sunday 11:11 pm
I picked up my phone and hit the little phone icon and it was picked up immediately.
"Sapherya!? Where the absolute fuck are you?!"
"I'm at home… now?" I questioned myself. I jumped slightly when I heard a car screech and a door slam open. It wasn't long before I was tackled by a girl who was taller than I was. Her strawberry blonde hair was pulled into a messy bun on top of her head. Her bright blue/green eyes shone with worry and sadness.
"Bitch! What the fuck?! Where the fuck did you go I was so fucking worried, I had been taking care of Chaos I thought that you died or were kidnapped I just didn't fucking know!" She began to tear up, she knew something was wrong because I almost never miss her texts. I wasn't as good about calls though. But she knew if I had missed 87 calls that something was wrong. Patting her back I tried to consolidate her trying to tell her what happened.
"You wouldn't believe me even if I fucking told you." I state as seriously as I could, although a soft sad smile played on my lips.
"Bitch, try me." I raised a brow and dragged her to the living room handing her an energy drink. She might need it to restart her heart afterwards.
"Ok, but you can't think I lost my mind alright!" I state looking at her dead serious.
"Bitch we are fucking crazy!" She stated, I deadpanned and laughed.
"True, but in any case…" I took a breath and began. "So, Monday when I disappeared, I actually had woken up in the fucking naruto world." I stopped to see her reaction. It was priceless.
"Nani the fuck?" She looked at me quizzically. "Were you out somewhere tripping on something?" I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"I thought you said you wouldn't judge."
"I never promised such a thing." I shot her an annoyed look and sighed.
"Any way, I woke up in the Naruto world and I was a fucking cat. Like a little, shit head, fur ball. I was walking around and found a village. I didn't realize I was in the Naruto world until the most unexpected person picked me up. Itachi and Kisame." Her face was in a state of shock. I looked at her raising an eyebrow.
"Itachi?"
"Uh-huh."
"And Kisame?"
"Indeed."
"You lucky bitch!" I face planted on the couch. Of course she'd say that.
"Not really, I was with them for about 4-6 months as a cat making trouble, dude I fucking suck at being a cat."
"How? Like all you have to do is eat, sleep, and shit." I rolled my eyes again, she seriously would say something that weird.
"I couldn't seem to get the walking and balancing thing down. I kept falling over and making messes. What's even weirder was Itachi named me uh… I think it was Nazo…"
"Doesn't that mean mystery?" I nodded grinning.
"Yah, you know what was even funnier? How I turned back into a human. It happened after living with them and making their lives hell for about 5 months. One afternoon Itachi was drinking sake, so I found some trouble to sneak some of his. It failed in the end and he ended up drinking it all. I guess he saw my dejected face when he finished it so he gave me a tiny little cup of my own. Let's just say their stuff is way better than ours. My dumbass fell off the counter and took a bottle of soy sauce with me once I finished drinking. That's when Itachi took to giving me a bath since soy sauce was super salty and I guess he didn't want me to clean it myself, ya know ingesting a shit ton of salt. He took me to the bathroom and the hot water mixed with the two liquids I'm guessing turned me back. It was awkward as fuck because like the cliche kitten stories I was naked and he fucking watched me get dressed." Penelope couldn't make up her mind on a facial expression, was she pissed or excited.
"Well… I don't know how to feel about that." She finally stated.
"I figured when you kept changing your facial expression." We both started laughing.
"So, like you said you were there for about 6 months does that mean one day here was one month there?" She asked me and I nodded in response.
"I'm thinking so." I was happy that she believed me, I mean I'm crazy enough to come up with a story like this but at the same time she didn't hear a response from me from any calls or texts. I knew that's why she believed me. "I just wish you were there with me, I think it would have been way more fun! It was kind of awkward since I like Itachi and I ended up sharing a bed for like 100% of the time."
"Wait…" processing. "My crazy ass friend just said what?" She blinked in response to the gears turning in her head. "YOU FUCKING SHARED A MOTHER FUCKING BED THE ENTIRE TIME?!" Que fangirling squealing. I held my hands over my ears trying to drown out the screaming.
"Ow." After she calmed down, she looked highly confused.
"But, why? I mean after a while you should have gotten your room unless–…?"
"Apparently at first they didn't trust me and I'd been spending my time with Itachi anyway as a cat so Pein said I had to stay with him. After I turned human we had a weird fight over who sleeps on the floor and who slept on the bed. In the end we ended up sharing it because I refused to kick him out of his own bed."
"You just wanted to get in his bed with him."
"Screw off… That's not true and you know it!" I snapped crossing my arms in annoyance.
"But…"
"No, in any case after a week or so we ended up getting really close. Kisame became like an older protective brother. It was kind of funny. Itachi did some weird things the last few days I was there. Like lots of staring and what not. Konan, she and I became really close friends and she even brought an unknown girly side out of me."
"What the fuck?"
"Right?! Who knew the infamous Sapherya M. Kormak could be so girly? I sure didn't."
"So by girly what are we talking about?"
"Let's see: Shopping, face masks, nail polish, dresses, make-up, jeweled hair accessories etc…" Her face was priceless and her mouth hung open. "You're going to catch flies." She closed it quickly shaking her head.
"Wow, so the crazy ninja woman got psycho Sphere to go shopping?" I nodded and shook my head.
"Yeah, freaked me out too. What was great, I GOT THE FUCKING AKATSUKI TO PLAY BEER PONG!" She looked at me before bursting out and laughed her ass off literally falling off my couch. I chuckled and petted my cat as she excitedly jumped on my lap realizing I was home, nonchalantly petting her fur. We ended up talking for the rest of the evening. Penelope ended up staying the night at my house and I let her stay in my room so she wouldn't have to suffer on my evil couch. We talked more in my room and laughed having a good time before both of us ended up passing out due to much needed sleep.
When we woke up the next morning we heard my normal Monday alarm for us to get out of bed and ready for classes. I groan, I hope I didn't get kicked from my expensive ass classes. Seriously, college nowadays is like selling my kidney, expensive. I think this semester alone It was like $800 for like three classes. Dead.
"Fuck me sideways and call me death." I muttered and yawn poking at Penelope's cheek quickly moving away when she tried to bite me.
"Bitch I'm sleeping…" She whined and turned to go back to sleep. I just used my body weight and pushed her off the bed with a loud thump. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" She screeched and glared at me. I just smiled innocently and skipped away to the bathroom needing a nice long shower.
"Yes, my darling 'tis be school time." I sang and ran away laughing as I locked myself in the bathroom turning the hot water on. "Fuck, I forgot a towel… go out and face the wrath of Penelope now or afterwards dripping naked?" I thought about it for a minute and decided to do it now. I slowly sneaked out and ninja crawled to the hallway closet as quietly as I could, opening it grabbing a black towel. Not even a minute later I was tackled. Screaming I was thrashing around like I knew she was fucking hiding somewhere that bitch.
"WAHAHAHA I GOT CHU!" She laughs on top of me. I huffed and groaned.
"Get off me fucker you're squishing the small person." I snapped whining. Laughing my best friend got off me and helped me up, handing the towel to me.
"I'll make breakfast for us while you shower." She told me before walking towards the kitchen singing something weird.
"Okay, please just don't blow up my kitchen please?" I questioned. Shaking my head again and walking towards the bathroom again. It was already steamy since I left the water running. I quickly stripped and jumped in, almost moaning in pleasure. The water felt amazing on my skin. I couldn't imagine the thought of not loving the comfort of my own bathroom. I guess I will miss the guys and Konan, especially if it was truly real. I guess I'm still doubting myself, even if all the facts were there. I never got Penelope's texts or calls. The touches from Itachi made my stomach turn as if hell butterflies resided in my abdomen. It felt real, but was it actually real? I shook my head taking my coconut smelling Tousle Me Softly shampoo in my hand and lathered up my hair. I shaved and washed my body. I noticed a few fading bruises from when Kisame was trying to teach me to defend myself. I had a small smile upon my lips and shook my head sighing. "I doubt I'll be going back, better to cherish what I have memory wise and don't get my hopes up. I'd rather not have my heart broken again." With that I finished my long shower and went down to breakfast starting my normal routine as if nothing happened.
~*~ Time Skip ~*~
Pein ~ Pov
I looked at Konan and she looked awful, I haven't seen her this upset, not since… Yahiko's death. I knew she was basically mourning her new lost friend. I felt awful that I couldn't do anything for her. The bags under her eyes are getting darker by the day. It had been a month since Sapherya disappeared, on all of us. All the members were doing even extra missions to fill in the time, when they were not looking for any scrolls or jutsu that dealt with transportation.
Itachi was even far worse than Konan, his sickness slowly getting worse over time. I feel that girl was keeping it at bay somehow. When we find her, if we find her I'll have to test a few things out. I looked back down at the scroll I was reading and started to get frustrated with it since it wasn't anything useful. I growled in annoyance throwing it off of my desk. I slammed my fist into the top of my work station in agitation making some small fissures in the surface.
"P-Pein?" Konan asked her eyes wide at my reaction, I guess I haven't noticed the toll that the missing girl's presence has taken on me. To say the least, I miss her too.
Kakuzu ~ Pov
One thousand, eight hundred and forty two. One thousand, eight hundred and forty three. One thousand, eight hundred and forty fo–.
"WHY THE FUCK ARE WE JUST FUCKING SITTING AROUND YOU JASHIN MOTHER FUCKING BASTARD!?" A rather loud mouthed idiot screamed at me as I folded the cash in my hands. Another bounty done and over, time to pick up a new one.
"We should be fucking looking for more of those mother fucking Jashin scrolls!" Hidan yelled at me. Growling at the idiot, I swear ever since that child left Hidan has been even more in a foul mood and annoying. Rubbing my temples in an attempt to alleviate the headache that seems to pop up more often.
"Hidan, shut up." I growled and began to put the money away. Standing I looked around me and noticed Hidan had gone after another useless kill. He took out his frustrations on the poor souls that we'd pass whenever I'd drag him out on our bounty missions. Normally before the girl showed up there'd only be about 5 casualties that were not the bounty, now the number has grown to 20. Leader is not going to be happy about this report. Following the bloody trail I sighed seeing about three people already sacrificed, a fourth one in his "Jashinish curse." All I could hear is Hidan praying to his weird god.
"Lord Jashin, please fucking grant me the insight to finding our sweet little Sapherya! I fucking beg of you, I'll produce as many fucking sacrifices as I need to get that answer. Oh great one please fucking Guide me to the fucking answers!"
I heard the idiot continue on like that for about a few more minutes when he sighs finishing off the 25th kill of today. I knew it took a toll on him, as horrible as it sounds I found it funny watching him suffer so much. I smirk under my mask enjoying the aggravated and pained expression on his face. Oh well. "Hidan let's go." I demanded and began walking to the base. It was about a three day's walk. Let's see how many casualties we have.
"Kakuzu you're a pitiful bastard. How could you fucking not care about Sapherya! She's cared for us and has the best fucking food." I scoffed. OF course that's why he'd be worried, his little maid was gone.
"Idiot, she was just another mouth to feed. A waste of money." I started to get annoyed and kept walking. I expected a humorless reply but I got nothing, he was simply silent. I did sense a dark aura around him but he said nothing from then on. I didn't really care, that just meant peace and quiet on my end.
Itachi ~ Pov
I was locked in my room reading every source of material I could find on anything that could possibly lead me to Sapherya. I got little sleep and when I was out on missions with Kisame I got them done as quickly as possible so I could get back as soon as humanly possible. It has been a month and I hated it. I felt like I did the night I had to murder my clan, I felt basically like I had no choice but to suffer.
"Itachi, you need to sleep." Konan came in to try and comfort me.
"Hold on, just one more." That is what I kept telling myself but one usually turned into ten. She walked to me, her eyes dull and her hand cold as it laid upon my own.
"Itachi, she'd be very upset to see you in this state. Unfortunately it's been a month and we haven't found anything yet. Try and rest up, you're looking weak. I highly doubt Sapherya would be very happy to find you dead because you worked yourself so hard your disease would kill you quicker. Especially before she got to see you again." Konan reasoned with me, I felt my shoulders slump forward in a sigh of defeat. She was right, I was basically speeding up my death sentence. I needed to live, for her I needed to live.
"Fine, but I'll be resuming in the morning." She gave me a disapproving look. She looked slightly older from the stress, I see her disappearance has affected most of the members here. It was only a few that didn't really miss her, but since she's been gone this place has gone from a cold group of killers to a depressed, mopey, group of killers. We needed to find her, and find her soon. I felt my eyes grow heavy and I quickly fell asleep. My body has taken a toll from this burden.
The morning came quickly while it was hard to do so I forced myself to get up and speak with Leader-Sama. I wandered the corridors and stood in front of his office. Before I even made contact with the door I heard his voice summon me in. I had grasped the cold copper handle and turned it into the dimly lit room.
"Itachi, I have a mission for you and your partner. You will also be accompanied by Hidan and Kakuzu. Kakuzu and Hidan will be back in about a day. Be ready to leave." I nodded and grabbed the scroll from him which contained the details of the mission. I headed towards the kitchen where Kisame was. This was a two part mission, one obtain a forbidden scroll and two: capture the two and three tailed beast. I went over it with Kisame as we discussed the details. We'd go for the scroll first before the beasts.
"Itachi… She will come back, we need to focus." I nodded, staying rather stoic and emotionless. I refuse to show anyone anything, the only thing that gave away my worry was the bags and stress/worry lines.
"Hn." I grunted departing from him walking down the hall to my own room. I needed to gather a few things to help me. I was a little weaker now since I've grown a little sicker, however this strengthens my genjutsu and sharingan. I will make it back to her, I have to. I grabbed a few things such as summoning scrolls and weapons. My Totsuka strapped to my back and I gathered my other belongings.
~*~ Time Skip ~*~
Itachi ~ Pov
I grabbed the mission scroll and rendezvoused with Kisame, Hidan, and Kakuzu at the entrance as we prepared to leave.
"Let's go," a gruff voice said and we all took off towards the lightning nation. This is where the scroll was supposedly hidden. We are the Akatsuki and we will succeed in our mission. The hours were long and the non stop walking took a toll on my body. I hid it well and only paused a few times when we absolutely needed to take a break.
The dirt road kicked up dust as we walked through it. I looked at the sky, it was a deep blue with wisps of clouds floating by, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth. It had been a while since I felt this peaceful. It felt as if she was here with me. Kisame grunted softly and I began walking again. It was only a fraction of a minute we were stopped.
The days had come and gone fairly quickly. We were nearing the lightning nation and near the domain that the scroll resided. Hidan and I scoured the place for any immediate danger. There were a few clouds jounin and they were easily taken out by the four of us. We wanted to do quick work and we scaled the mountain side that we had come up to a cliff in the center of the cliff side. I turned to crows and Kisame used chakra to run up but kept slipping off. I looked down at him and landed next to him. I was human once again. I tried to climb up using chakra myself and felt it absorb it. This rendered my chakra useless.
"What do you make of this Itachi?" Kisame asked me perplexed. I felt something off about this place. What scroll was it that the leader is trying to get?
"Hn." I try to think of what we could do. Hidan and Kakuzu must have discovered the chakra absorption as well since they met up with Kisame and I.
"We are unable to make it up this cliff. Not using Chakra." Kakuzu stated the obvious.
"Yeah, neither can we. We'll have to use climbing gear." Kisame agreed.
"Fuck this shit!" Hidan tried to run up it successfully falling on his ass. He looked pissed and used his Scythe to climb up. The rest of us used large Shuriken and Kakuzu used his hand since it was "stretchable." Once at the mouth of the cave, I staggered slightly. I could feel the strong pull of my chakra being drawn from me. This place is dangerous.
"Itachi, this place…" Kisame didn't finish. I nodded slightly agreeing with him, we need to work quickly or we are all dead. Well, Kisame and I would be.
"Kakuzu," I started and he nodded as Hidan and himself walked further up ahead. I felt weak. I jumped out scattering as crows landed at the base of the mountain, Kisame soon following. I sent a crow in to follow Kakuzu and Hidan, it seems that it only affects us if we touch the walls or floor. This place, there is something off with this place. I shook the thought to the back of my mind and kept following the two immortal members. My eyes widened as we reached the final destination. It was a large marble stone room and the walls were vaulted like 100 feet above our heads. There was a small pond in the center with a running waterfall. I think the thing that unnerved me the most was that the water was of pure blood. This looked like the hidden hallowed place of Dàhēitiān(Mahākāla). More commonly known as the sacred fountain of fate. No one dared take from this place for fear and wrath of this god of fate, time, and death. I think even the Jashinish and the other immortal noticed these two. The three of us backed out slowly. I noticed one two items particularly. I flew towards it while the others retreated for the moment we needed to plan a little better. Glancing at the sign reading the ancient text.
Beware:
Ye who dare enter the caves of Dàhēitiān must pay a cost.
A Life for a Life,
A Death for a Death,
An Eye for an Eye,
A Tooth for a Tooth.
Ye have been warned, Do what thou wilt.
I flew out and returned to my original self next to Kisame. "There is a cave of connections nearby, we need to talk to Leader-sama." I was pondering to myself. I bet that is the reason he demanded two two jinjuriki souls. A life for a life. But that doesn't make sense, if that scroll contains what we need we'd need more then two souls. I don't think he knew that though. If my suspicion is correct we will need at least two souls, but I have a hunch that we will need more than two. One to trade for the scroll, one for Sapherya to come home to me. The only thing is that I have a gut feeling there is more to it and we will need more than that.
The four of us agreed to communicate with the leader. Reaching the cave of communication our holographic-selves appear in a circular formation.
"What is the status of the mission." Leader stated to us.
"We are unsure of how to proceed." Kakuzu began to elaborate.
"We found the scroll, we have yet to obtain it since it seems to require a soul to take from that cave. Were you aware that it was the cave of Dàhēitiān?"
"What?!" a series of murmurs could be heard across the members. Even Pein who seemed to have a god complex tensed.
"Leader-sama we shouldn't mess with that place" Konan started sadly.
"We need that scroll, I was not aware of who's hallowed that was, however, we can not just give up. WE are the Akatsuki, we will not fear this deity."
"I believe leader-sama is right" I started once again. "We just need to obtain the souls before we can proceed."
"Agreed...Then proceed with caution" Leader-sama stated towards us. With that we began the search for the souls needed to save our beloved Sapherya. Stepping out of the cave we began towards the forest where the two tails were last seen. Kakuzu and Hidan took lead since before Sapherya showed up that was going to be their mission so they knew how to hunt her down.
It was about two days of traveling when we finally made it. It didn't take long for me to sense the two tails presence and soon we began fighting the girl named Han. Since time was of the essence for me and I was slightly impatient to see the girl who gave me a new meaning again, I helped the two immortals and Kisame end the fight quickly. I felt my body weakened during this time and because of my heightened emotion, my sharingan was more powerful at the moment. Using the full ability to help the battle end quickly. I watched as Hidan sealed the soul into a scroll of sealing. We will be needing that soul soon. I felt myself grow weaker and almost passed out staggering. Even Hidan shot a worried look in my direction. I just held my head to stop the world from spinning.
"Let us rest for the evening." Kakuzu suggested. I wanted to decline but it seemed we had no choice. I nodded and we found an area near a stream, fishing for dinner and cooking our meal over a small campfire. We searched the surrounding area to make sure no ninja were nearby. Hidan found one and sacrificed him to his deity. This was going to be a month long mission, this worried me greatly. I hoped that this would be over soon, I knew my body was taking a toll bearing this burden. I ate dinner and felt myself being beckoned into the darkness of sleep. Giving in I felt myself fall under its spell.
~*~*~ Dream ~*~*~
I found myself in the hallowed caves again staring into the pond of red. There was nothing around to tell me why I was here, that was until I heard a voice. Or was it voices, it was unclear. Looking up I saw the deity himself.
"Itachi is it?" He chuckled to me and looked at me with three eyes staring back into my own, as if he was staring into my own soul. His voice sounded as if a hundred people spoke at once. It was truly overwhelming, I still held my ground.
"Hn." I grunt nodding towards him unsure of what to do. I was normally calm, cool, and calculating, but something about him unnerved me. He began laughing full out in a course of voices. I had the urge to cover my ears but I couldn't seem to move.
"So, it seems my little gift to you has brought some light unto you and your organization." What? Gift? Is he speaking of Sapherya? I was determined to find my voice lost in this void.
"What do you mean by gift, Are you referring to Sapherya?" I questioned. His voice bellowed over everything else
"Do not question a god!"his voice calmed and yet he sounded amused. "Sapherya, the girl from another world. Indeed, I was trying something out in the twists of fate of life and death. Apparently it went well seeing as you're so desperate to find her." He voiced amusement clearly he was enjoying the pained look on my face. How dare he. I wanted to shout but I couldn't, something held me back. Finally I felt myself being released to speak.
"Suppose you're right Dàhēitiān, What do I need to bring her back?" I questioned, hoping that my words didn't seem to sound as if I was begging for this information.
"You humans, always a good source of enjoyment!" he bellowed out in howling laughter. I felt frustration rise in my face.
"How do we get her back!" I felt myself scream. I couldn't believe that Itachi Uchiha had just raised my voice. To a Deity no less! I watched as his face contorted in annoyance.
"If you wish to have her back you're going to need one soul in exchange for the Kōtsū Shudan scroll. You'll need two souls for yourself, one to transport you there and one to bring you back. You'll need two souls for the comrade you call Deidara, for the same reason. You'll need two souls for the girls." My brain was trying to process this, he didn't even seem done and we were already at SEVEN souls. He wanted us to collect seven souls. I had one question burning in my mind, alright a few but this was important.
"Do they have to be of great power? Or will normal civilian souls work?" I couldn't believe I was actually thinking about this. He looked unamused that I interrupted him.
"IF you had let me finish you would know. In any case You'll need an eighth soul to confirm the transfer once the four of you are back in this world. You are to return the scroll back to my cave to do the final sealing. The soul you need to take the scroll and for the final sealing has to be of great power the other six can be normal souls." he finished his statement, his eyes glowing red against his black skin. They were shining in anticipation. "Are you willing to kill eight people to bring your love and soulmate back?" I already knew that answer.
"Yes." He laughed evilly and nodded his hand whipping in an unknown speed and time. It entered my chest and pulled out something that looked like a dark mass of something. It dripped like a semi liquid mass. It had a foul odor and made me sick to my stomach. I felt some contents come up and I coughed as they were released from my body. Finishing, I stood up wiping the corner of my mouth. The Deity looked amused and bellowed a hearty laugh once again.
"I've healed your body, I can't have you dying yet. Not when you've shown me great entertainment. Enjoy the freebee that I've provided you." With that he disappeared back into the fountain of blood. I felt my head spinning as I felt myself travel into the pits of darkness once again.
~*~*~ Dream End ~*~*~
I woke up feeling like I had been hit upside the head with direct blunt force. I held my head in my hands and then bent over spewing everything that I had left in my stomach.
"Itachi?" I heard Kisame's voice call out from somewhere. I finished and leaned against the tree behind me. The members looked at me strangely.
"What the fucking hell is wrong with you weasel dick?!" Hidan questioned. I shot him a dark glare. But after emptying my stomach I felt almost instantly better.
"I know what we need…" I stated to them explaining what just happened. Kakuzu and Kisame looked skeptical but Hidan understood me. This was something odd and didn't naturally happen. Soon we were off to finish gathering the last 7 souls we needed. One jinjuriki soul and 6 civilian. I did have two more questions that plagued my mind. What did he mean by girls and why did he want Deidara to come along? I just ignored it for now preparations needed to happen. I was on top of my game since he was right and healed my illness. That, I was thankful for.
