Well lo who is back with another chapter. Me! yay!
Anyway I have been writing on another story during this pause and I might say that I have improved. Probably not but the chapters are longer.
Enjoy!
A week has passed since the teams been announced. During this week the students of beacon academy used the time to fit in the school times and getting to know there teammates. Thankfully the lessons in this first week were short and mainly aimed to review basic knowledge for the students.
Thanks to that the Akatsuki learned about the world they were in. They learned about the kingdoms, there social standings, about the danger the creatures of Grim pose and about the organization called white Fang which changed from protests for equality of the Fanus to a terror cell.
The rooms were conveniently place for the Akatsuki. Down a hall the rooms of team RWBY and team JNPR were opposed to another. Slightly further down the hall were the rooms of team NIKK opposed to the room of team KSDH.
The room of team NIKK was simple and mostly modest. There hasn't been much change except that the beds were moved to each corner of the room with a tow desks next to the entrance of the room. Everyone had there own corner to decorate how they'd like. Two were neatly folded while the others one wasn't folded at all and the last one had origami figures hanging from above.
Nagato and Itachi had already the school uniforms on and were waiting for the rest of there team to be ready for school. Well, Nagato did while Itachi was playing around with the scroll that every student received. He tried everything to understand each of the little devices functions. Konan was done as well but spend the time Kisame was fiddling with the uniform to look at herself in the mirror. Not particularly admiring herself but actually looking a bit concerned. She didn't particularly liked wearing skirts and had permanently the fear that it might be to short ore the she might look slutty.
"Will you hurry it up?" Nagato called over to Kisame. The shark was having difficulty putting on the uniform because of his immense size and bulky body, even tho this was the biggest size they had. "Just give me a minute here I don't want to tear it." Kisame answered back.
After a few more attempts he finally managed to get it on and the group existed the there room. Opposed to there quarter they saw that the door to team KSDH room had slightly changed. The door looked like two artists had a fearsome battle of design on the door. The right side was full of machinery blueprints and designs while the left side had several explosions painted on it. For some reason in the middle of the door was a text written in a color that could be easily actual blood which read: "PROPERTY OF TEAM KSDH. FUCK OFF."
The Akatsuki members could hear Kakuzu jelling in the room and cursing out Hidan's name. Without a word they mentally agreed to not to disturb and simply go to the classroom. Surly the rest of the Akatsuki would manage to be on time.
The room of team KSDH was quite similar to that of team NIKK. Same order of beads and desks, naturally however the beads looked quite different. One was sloppy cleaned while the other one had multiple spare machinery parts scattered across. It looked like the owner slept on the bead while the parts were still on it. On the other side of the room was a neatly folded bead while the other had several sigils of lord jashin drawn around it with obviously blood.
Deidara had already his uniform on with the scarf around his neck that has been given to him by Weiß Schnee. He felt that it would be wrong to just use it occasionally and it didn't go against the dress code.
Next to the bead with the spare metal parts was a huge figure sitting next to it. It was a two feet tall female metal doll, she had long black hair which was tied to a knot at the end. Her limbs were extremely long compared to the rest of her body and her arms, which looked more like claws were reaching almost to here hips. Her silver skin was covered by a black sleeveless robe with a large silver scorpion knitted onto the front. Her eyes were closed and her slender an peaceful face made her look like she was sleeping, if her read eyes with black pupils weren't open and unmoving. Sasori kneeled down next to her and continued to optimize some of the hidden weapons of his newest masterpiece. If it weren't for the fact he loved to modify his new masterpiece the puppet master would've probably already broken the door open and dragged Hidan out the bathroom.
Kakuzu was wearing his school uniform with the extra accessory of a surgical mask covering most of his face. The bounty hunter banged furiously against the bathroom door. "For fuck sake Hidan were gonna be late!"
Inside the bathroom the immortal was taking care of business. "Excuse me, but I need to drop this fucking battleship out of my god dam asshole!" Hidan screamed back.
"We would've had more time if you didn't take so long to get out of bed!"
The immortal made a painful grunting sound from the bathroom. "OHHH! Here it comes!" After another painful call you could here a a little plop sound, like somebody just dropped a little stone into a pond. "Ahhhh! That felt so fucking good."
After a flush sound the immortal proudly walked out of the bathroom. His uniform was in poor condition and wasn't even close of being buttoned right. "Alright bitches, let's go!"
After Kakuzu whacked Hidan over the head for holding everyone up and then acting like there wasn't a problem, team KSDH made there way to the classroom.
As they walked in mostly silence Deidara decided to ask his artistic rival a question. "So how much different is your new doll, Minerva, different from the puppet were we come from?"
Sasori smiled at that question. Since they were students here at the school they could freely use the library and Sasori immediately used this opportunity to get every book that involves Maschine ingenuity and usage of dust. He spent days just passionately reading these books and taking in the wonders of this world. The other Akatsuki members weren't that interested except for Kakuzu who mostly took books about old legends and stories.
"Well, I don't want to brag but this world has opened me up to an even greater form of my art. I will show this world the true meaning of timeless eternal art." Sasori exclaimed.
Deidara hugged himself. "Please, this world will be shown the art of the moment. A fleeting moment wich lasts only a moment before it disappears forever. That is art."
This time Kakuzu actually seemed interested in the conversation. "Sasori, you said that your art has improved. Those that mean your new puppet, Minerva, is better than you older ones?"
Sasori thought for a moment and compared mentally Minerva with his other human puppets. "Hard to say, I haven't had the chance of testing Minerva. In theory she should surpass them, but of course there are some things I need to take in account. My older puppets were lighter and could slightly hover over the ground while my new model is heavier. The gravity dusty makes her move faster but I need to make her tacke actually Stepps instead of letting her fly at the enemy."
"I say just give that pice of junk a bunch of guns and Kanons and blow every fucker to hell." Hidan said while he put his hands behind his head.
Deidara laughed. "The concept of guns in this world is quite interesting and artistic. It even appears that every second weapon in this world is also a gun."
Team KSDH continued there conversation until they reached the classroom.
The classroom was a big auditorium with more than enough space to fit everyone in it. Quickly the Akatsuki members meet up and sat down at there seats. It was a bit awkward to be in a classroom for some of the Akatsuki members, especially for Kakuzu who was actually almost a hundred years old. If anyone would have told him that after he fought against the first Hokage that he would one day find himself in a classroom, he would probably punch that person in the face.
The Akatsuki members could hear whispers of the other students in the classroom as they took quick glance in there direction. It appears that rumors have spread around the school about the Akatsuki. Some say they are all part of a childish gang they made up when they were younger, others suggested that they were simply so close friends that they went around in partner-look Stile.
Just before class began team RWBY and team JNPR bursted into the room and tried to regain there breaths. Hidan smiled and wanted to wave at Ruby, but he stopped as he saw Yang glaring at him.
"That girl really hates you." Nagato said with a little laugh.
Konan smiled as well. "I would to if someone did that to my little sister."
Hidan grumbled, hating that fact that he could never really talk to Ruby without fearing that he could get a shotgun gauntlet fired directly into his face. Without aura, this made Kakuzu's work of patching Hidan up like solving a puzzle with many different pieces. "Screw you guys."
Moments after everyone found there place a professor entered the room. He was a rather large man, especially in the belly region, had white hair and a white mustache. "Hunters and huntress in training! I am professor Pork and will teach you in my class about the values of hunters and the dangers of the world known as the creatures of Grimm." He exclaimed proudly.
Most of the students didn't really care about that and started to drift off. Only a handful students and the Akatsuki listened to the lesson. Sadly there attention quickly faded as professor Pork went on and on about his heroic adventures in his youth and about the powerful grimm he has slain.
After a long time Sasori and Nagato were the only Akatsuki member that were really listening. Both of them tried to analyze the story in every single detail. Sasori tried to understand the mental capacity of the grim while Nagato tried to understand that odd feeling he got as he fought the grimm during the exam. After not getting anywhere with the professors story, Sasori raised his arm. "Excuse me professor, but could you please explain mental capacity and the anatomy of the Grimm?"
The professor was surprised as his story was interrupted by a student, he thought that everyone loved his story's. "Oh! Well... there isn't much to say. As a grim gets older it will morph into a stronger form befitting its age and raises its intelligence. Other than that there isn't much known about the grim and definitely nothing is known about there anatomy since they disappear after they die."
"That's all?" Nagato asked bewildered. That is quite small information for a enemy that is literally the Bligh of the world. "Isn't anyone here interested in were the grim come from ore were they might go after they die?"
"Certainly people have tried to analyze the grim in every possible way, but after many failures and many dead scientists the entire operation has been announced as to dangerous and wouldn't receive any funds of any kingdom." Professor Pork explained. Naturally even he was anxious to know what the Grimm really were he just hasn't his hopes up that that mystery will be reviled in his lifetime, probably not even in the next couple of generations.
The tow Akatsuki members fell into silence. This wasn't going anywhere, if they wanted answers they would probably do it on there own terms.
Professor pork grabbed the attention of everyone in the room again. "Well if you are eager to understand a grimm than this might help you." The professor pointed to a large cage in the corner of the room. Something was violently trying to break free. "Mister Nagato. How about you and another student fight this beast. Who els here thinks to have what it takes to be a great hunter?"
"I do sir!" Weiss Schnee loudly answered. The professor laughed and waited until the two students arrived in the the middle of the auditorium. Weiss prepared her Rapier while Nagato just stud there.
"Mister Nagato would you please get you weapon?" Professor pork urged. The others students were confused why Nagato just stood there without any kind of preparation.
The read head simply moved his hair a bit to the side to revile to every in class his eyes. Most were shocked at the sight of those unusual eyes. "My weapon is always with me."
Professor Pork calmed down as he prepared to release the beast. With one strike of his weirdly build axe/blunder-bust weapon he opened the kage and released the grimm. A bore with long tusks and while armor.
Without a moment of hesitation the grimm charged at the the two students. Both of them reacted fast and dogged into different directions. After the bore came to an halt it turned and started to charge at Nagato.
The Rinnegan user let a chakra rod form out of his palm and waited for his moment. As the Grimm came close enough Nagato sidestepped and rammed the rod into the side of the monstrosity. As it came to an halt again it could feel something.
Nagato knew it was risky to link himself with the rod to the beast but he was to curious to know what would happen. At the the beginning the Grimm started to tumble around, like it had difficulty to see ore even stand straight. The entertainer classroom closely watched what happened.
The heiress looked over to Nagato "What did you do? There is no poison ore device that could influence Grimm. So what is that rod and were did you pull it out from?"
Nagato wanted to answer but suddenly the Grimm started to howl in pain. At the exact same moment Nagato had to clutch his head and go onto his knees. It's like a thousands of voices roared in his head, intense pain spread around his entire body. It took everything not to scream like the Grimm.
"H-hey! What's wrong with him!?" Ruby called and pointed to Nagato. The entire classroom switched there attention from the Grimm to Nagato. Konan got up from her seat and called over to Weiss. "Remove the rod!" She called.
Weiss reacted quickly and rushed to the Grimm. It was to busy screaming that it didn't even notice that Weiss started to pull at the rod. With one final pull she removed the rod and tumbled back. The Grimm regained itself and was immediately ready to fight. Weiss had no time to react as the Grimm jumped at her.
"Universal pull!" Was what she her before she got pulled away from the Grimm and next to Nagato's side who regained himself like the Grimm. "Can you take it from here? I'm feeling kinda wired."
The heiress nodded and Nagato returned to his seat. Immediately the bore charged at weiss who tried to attack the Grimm at the side with her weapon, sadly a rapier didn't give Weiss the same amount of strength that Nagato had to pierce the armored skin.
"Show him what you can do weiss!" Ruby cheered from her seat to which weiss just growled. One attempt after another to pierce the armor failed until she spotted that the armor from Nagato's attack was still broken.
"Hit were Nagato hit! His armor is weak there!" Ruby called again from her seat.
The heiress turned to Ruby and screamed. "I know! I can think for myself!"
The Grimm charged again at weiss who summoned a large glyph that acted as a protective wall. The Grimm crashed against it and didn't even left so much as a dent. Weiss used this opportunity to sprint around the glyph and lunge at the open wound of the Grimm. With one thrust she barred almost her entire weapon in the beast. The Grimm let out a final roar before falling limb and slowly started to dissolve.
"Ha Ha! It appears that we truly are in the presence of a true huntress in training. Sadly this is all the time for today, class dismissed." The professor exclaimed and weiss existed the room. Moments after Ruby went after her.
"Jeez, what's with her?" Jaune asked no one on particular. Deidara and Hidan shared a glance and both nodded in agreement. They would try to see what's up with them, but Hidan knew that if he went after Ruby yang would immediately follow to ore prevent him from going at all. They needed a distraction.
"Kakuzu is hiding his face because he has a tattoo of a penis on his cheek that is spraying semen towards his mouth!" He called as Hidan as he and Deidara ran out of the room.
Everyone looked at Kakuzu in absolute bewilderment. In there heads that would probably even make sense as to why he is covering his face. Kakuzu looked everyone in the room into there eyes before speaking in a very clear and professional way so that everyone would understand that he wasn't joking. "If this lie manages to exit the room then I will personally murder every single one of you, just to be sure to kill the one who actually spread this lie."
"Uhmmmm, I kinda already posted it." A student said with a hint of fear, surely he wouldn't kill over something like that.
Sadly he was mistaken as the rest of the Akatsuki with the help of team JNPR and the rest of team RWBY tried to prevent Kakuzu from killing the student.
Deidara and Hidan didn't need long until they spotted Weiss and Ruby talking to one another. The last words they herd until the heiress stormed of was something about Ruby not having to earn the title as leader of her team.
Both Akatsuki members knew what to do, Deidara backtracked to find an alternative route to meet up with Weiss while Hidan simply walked up to Ruby. "Well, that bitch is pisst." He just blabbered out from behind her.
Ruby jumped in surprise as she herd his voice, than sighed as she saw that it was only Hidan. "Don't call her that Hidan."
The immortal sight and rubbed the back of his head. "Alright, what's the matter?"
Ruby didn't see any real problem telling Hidan about her problems so she just went with it. She told him how Weiss didn't expect her having the role of team captain and that the heiress should've had that role.
Hidan just raised an eyebrow. "Is that all? Than you definitely make to much stress over nothing."
Ruby was surprised by the immortal's answer. "What do you mean? How can I bee a good team leader if my own teammate doesn't expect that I have this role?"
"You can't rush these things Ruby. Listen, a long time ago myself and Kakuzu were called the zombie duo. As the name suggests we were the best and still are the best. A little known fact is that while I permanently cures out that moneybag I still have deep respect for him. If he makes a discussion I will follow him because I trust him. However trust mein I say this, this respect didn't come over night. It took a long time and trust me, if he managed to make me admit that he is the leader of the zombie duo than you can certainly convince her. Just take your time and be the best leader that you can be." Hidan explained.
Ruby thought about the Immortal's words and smiled to him. "Thanks Hidan, that helped."
The immortal smiled back. "Now how about we-"
"YOU GOD DAM SON OF A WHOURE!"
Both turned around to see a most furious Kakuzu with his eyes set on Hidan.
The immortal smiled at Ruby again and showed her a thumbs up. "If I don't survive this, remember that I will cherish the moment that we had."
That were his last words to Ruby before Kakuzu stretched out his arm, grabbed Hidan and dragged him away.
For some reason Ruby had to smile as she saw the duo leaving. Maybe she won't have such an aggressive way of handling her teammates but she was sure that she would find a way.
Somewhere else in the school the heiress was completely unloading on Deidara everything that she could do better than Ruby and why she should have been a way better fit to become the leader of the team. "...and all that cutie childish act that's she is holding is really pissing me off."
Deidara just nodded to everything that she just said. "Uhu, now could you tell me one thing that she could do better than you?"
Weiss was surprised by that question. "What kind of question is that? No of course I can't."
Deidara gestured to her that she should continue. "Because..."
"Well... I don't know her that well." The heiress answer with hesitation.
Deidara clapped into his hands. "Exactly, and until you get to know her you can't know if she isn't fit to be a leader. The first impression is sometimes quite wrong."
"Oh, please. Give me one example."
"Answered quickly, what do you think of my man Sasori?" Deidara quickly answered without giving her time to think.
The heiress answered just as fast. "Just a simple boy who doesn't really stand out."
"That is your answer but actually he is one of the smartest people I know. His way of creating weapons and quickly learning a completely now way of ingenuity goes over my head. While I don't agree with his understanding of art I know that if he really gets in the mode to test his creations he could easily topple a nation." Deidara explained.
"You have to be joking. There is no way way that he could do that." Weiss said as she crossed here arms.
"Maybe im lying , maybe I'm not. You will never finde it out until you see it yourself. So how about you give Ruby a chance before writing her off, she might surprise you." Deidara said as he stated to walk away, leaving the heiress with her thoughts.
It was getting late and Deidara decided to call it a day. He entered the room and saw that Kakuzu and Sasori were already sleeping. Hidan's bead however was empty.
Something dripped from the ceiling so naturally Deidara looked up and immediately spotted how brutal Kakuzu could get.
Hidan's Mangled remains were stuck in different wings of there ceiling fan. His body permanently turned with the fan in a circle as he appeared to be sleeping. The blonde artist didn't even want to know what happened to the immortal before he ended up there and decided to simply sneaked into his bead and sleep.
