Chapter 6 - Angel's Disappearance

Sasori and Deidara stood before the whole Akatsuki after giving the report. Needless to say Tobi and Hidan were not happy about the news. Obito for certain wondered if she was just messing with them or if she was truely stuck on the other side in another world. "This is troubling."

"While I understand the need to get more to report, you should have not stayed so long that caused Angel's portal to fall." Pein stated.

"Fucking bitch better come back. Jashin-sama wants another meeting with her." Hidan stated as he leaned back in his chair.

"Angel will be back." Zetsu stated which got Pein to look at him. "She is too fond of this group to not return."

"Then we will continue our plans and wait only 3 months to give her to return, else we go back to the original plan." Pein stated as he closed the meeting.

Hidan sighed as he went back to his room with Kakuzu following. Kakuzu took to counting his money plus the extra Angel made for him to their budget while Hidan prayed to his god. As Hidan prayed he felt a connection that was slightly different. Somehow he knew Angel was on her way back. He didn't know how or why he knew he just did. Perhaps Jashin was guiding him in a slightly way. He couldn't tell.

Hidan got out of his spot to sit on his bed as his partner continued to count. With the plan to get some more sleep.

-XxX-

Deidara sat in his room making his clay creations while thinking about how Angel just disappeared. She was a strange girl but she was still open with her own views of art. While she didn't agree with his, she didn't try to tell him he was wrong. He recalled after his arguments with his partner about art she would visit him for a bit to talk about art and even try to touch the clay creations.

He looked off to the side to the last clay creation she made before she went to train. It was a lotus. While he didn't think she had a feminine bone in her body she still expressed that it was her favorite flower. He didn't have the heart to try to reuse the clay she had tried to use.

Sasori sat in his workshop working on a new puppet. His thoughts though were on his eternal partner who is now not in their world. He felt an irritation in his mind. For him this would not have happened if his idiot of a partner didn't try to explore during the first test of world jumping. Things could have been a lot worse. They could have been stuck there as well if she had disappeared before they could have gotten back to their cave. Sasori felt something snap in what he was working on due to his irritation. He sighed as he got to cleaning up the broken wood.

-XxX-

Obito sat in his room looking over his tools. Going through the motions of cleaning them he thought aimlessly about their little ghost disappearing. Angel's plan was interesting and without her with them it would be doomed to fail. But he knew he would give her time to get back before scraping her plans. While they weren't in a rush to start the plans as of yet and with the extra money her crystals made for them, Obito felt like her powers and abilities would have more use than the ninjas he had gathered. She was not replaceable...

Angel's POV:

Opening my eyes I saw Hidan's god before me. It was slightly confusing but as I flew up to face him he gave me a creepy grin. "You almost got stuck in a world away from here…"

Thinking about it I wondered what he meant before I came to the realization that I was in a strange new world almost on empty energy while with Sasori and Deidara. I almost panicked that my artist duo was stuck in a world away from their own when the god before me reassured me about it. Looking around in a now more calm manner I saw that Hidan was nowhere near. Turning to the god he held out his hand for me to land.

Land in the boney structured hand I watched him confused as to what exactly happened from when I disappeared. He gave me a grin, showing off sharp teeth, and while he looked mad I could tell he was in a better mood. "So I take it you pulled me back into the world of ninja's before my portal shut down?"

"Indeed little one." He stated as he shifted in his seat.

"How long has it been since my disappearance?" I sighed. "I really need to get rid of this disappearing."

"Only a few days. My follower Hidan expressed worry over you." He grinned. "When you started to get pulled away from the world I pulled you back, though I haven't told him that."

"So you're making him and the rest of those humans squirm about my disappearance?"

"Of course."

I laughed a little. "Nice Jashin-sama. Any reason though you have me here still?"

"Smart little thing aren't you?"

"I have my moments." I grinned.

"I may have kept you here to think of a way to keep you from disappearing so much and to link you to my domain so you don't suffer from that black void you retreat into. Here you can train and build your own world to put together as you please a replacement to that blacken void, until you gain control of you own blacken void. You might even bring a member of those humans you fancy so much once you gain so much control. Though at this moment one will only enough for your soul to handle."

I blinked before smiling. "You have my thanks Jashin-sama." I then raised a look at him. "What is it in return you want?"

"Nothing gets past you little one." He gave a small but loud chuckle. "I want you to keep my favorite follower alive. Something seems to be in the world that I nor other gods can't see. Something that's going to be coming after you if you change the way this world was supposed to go."

I blinked again at that before grinning. "Then I'll be sure to train and keep everyone safe for the world I will be creating. If I have to I'll take this force into a world and destroy them there."

"Doing so will destroy your soul." He stated bluntly.

I shrugged. "If I cease to exist then so be it. But I'll be sure to keep Hidan and my other humans safe as long as I can."

He nodded, accepting my words when he looked away. Following his eye line of sight I now saw Hidan doing his prayer. Few other were there as well but Hidan was the only one I had recognized. He then lowered his hand back towards the floor of this realm. "You should wake up now."

Nodding I closed my eyes and felt myself connect to the ninja world. Now I don't mean I connected to chakra or something like that. I mean I felt myself connect to the souls. For some reason the energy of humans or other living things are easier to pick out. Opening my colorless eyes I saw I was standing in the room where I did the test with the art duo. Testing my wings and took to the air as I flew around looking for Obito.

-xXx-

Keeping to the ceiling I saw Zetsu first. Waving at his confused blinking face as I went on to find my lollipop. Soaring lower to the doors I listened for anything that could tell me he was in his room. Hearing pacing feet I tried to solidify my hand so I could knock. After all Obito might not like me just appearing into his room. Listening I heard his Tobi persona call out for who it was. "My lovely Lollipop, can I come in?"

After I spoke the door swung open and if it wasn't for the fact I was a spirit I would have gotten hit by the door. There standing in the doorway was my personal lollipop I smiled at his masked face. "I'm home."

He stood off to the side to show he wanted me to come in. I frowned a little at the fact he didn't speak. Gliding into the room I stood in the middle of the room as he closed the door. Folding my arms behind me I waited for the leader of the Akatsuki to speak to me. Staying facing forward he walked in front of me and stood in front of me. He removed his mask showing his face as he sighed. "You were gone for almost 4 days...without a word."

"To be honest I wasn't even aware I was gone until Jashin-sama raised my mind from slumber. I guess you can say it was the same as my disappearing. My mind simply stopped. Like I ceased to exist for a while… It's a scary thought but not something I would be bothered with. Though it was unlike my slipping into my void." I stated to my favorite evil mastermind.

"You...wouldn't mind ceasing to exist?" Obito looked shocked. I blinked at his words, he sounded a little upset at that.

"Yeah, I mean I'm already dead so next step would be ceasing to exist. If I did disappear I wouldn't mind really. As it were I have nothing to live for other than keeping you guys alive. However if I just disappeared I'm sure with the knowledge I gave you, you'd find a way to live out your lives. You're a smart man Obito so I don't think my leaving the picture would affect everything."

"You...don't think your leaving wouldn't affect the Akatsuki?"

"Well the few I've made connections with might be sad and possibly miss me, however you're all ninja's. So give a day or two and you'll all move on. I have a faith that while if my plan fails you all will be fine. And here's a thought, if I fail in helping you all and you die, we won't be apart. While I'm not sure what happens to you guys if you die. I'm sure I'll figure it out."

"Angel…" Obito sighed as he shook his head while sitting on the bed behind him. "Do you have anything to report?"

"Hmm…. Jashin-sama has given me some knowledge about that soon I can take others to my void but right now only one can go with me at a time." I stated. "He seemed to give me the ability to go to his realm more often as well from what I can tell for safer training."

"I'd like to see this void you keep getting sucked into." Obito stated.

"Huh?" I had to blink at his words. "Uh…"

"Are you against it?"

"I've never uh taken anyone to my void. Needless to say I have no idea how…"

"Try…" He stood up and held out his hand. I looked at it and then took to looking at my own. Could I have enough energy to touch him since I just got back and still be around for a while after we get back if it even works? Sighing I looked at my favorite evil mastermind, he was waiting patiently so I held out my own hand and gently took his. He sharply into a breath as he felt my touch.

"I guess it's natural for your body temperature to be colder than a normal human." He shook his head as he stepped closer. I had to look up to keep eye contact. Sighing I wrapped four wings around him and focused on going to my void. Closing my eyes and concentrated on the darkness. Feeling the weightlessness of my void I opened my eyes to see my mastermind staring around him shocked as he dangled from my wings.

No gravity…

Realizing he was slipping from my hand and putting pressure on my four wings I pulled him against my body and held him close. He in turn held onto me though seemed shocked at the fact I had a solid form here.

I guess the first thing to fix in my void is adding a ground or land mass and gravity…

"I can smell you…" I stated as I held him closer. He stiffed as I nuzzled my head against his shoulder. "I can feel your warmth. I can feel your touch, smell your scent, even the feeling the cloth you're wearing."

"Hn…" I smiled at the very Uchiha like sound he made.

"Well...this is my void Obito. I think I'll add in a ground and gravity as soon as I can."

"That...would be reasonable. Can you fly us around for a bit?"

"Sure." I smiled as I forced my wings harder. It was a little harder since the added weight, but I was too happy about the feeling of the said weight to really be bothered by it. So I flapped my six wings hard to take my guest around my void. Though I knew there was nothing to see but maybe one day that could change.

After a while I was slowly down, I didn't want to say anything to Obito but I think he noticed. "You can take us back now."

"Very well."

Focusing, I lost the touch of Obito which made me snap my eyes open. Fearing that I had dropped him in my void but only to see him standing close to me still only I couldn't feel him anymore. I frowned at the fact I lost the ability to feel and smell him. I never noticed I lost my sense of smell until I smelled the scent of metal and dried blood, perhaps a woodsy smell as well on my evil mastermind.

"Angel."

"Yes?"

"I want you to try to take each member of the Akatsuki to your void as you prep it for others. Get them used to feeling you as you take them. But only limit it to only as you can do it. I don't want you to vanish like you did when you tested the portal jumping. However I want you to continue to train in that as well."

"No issues on my end with that."

"Good." And Obito put his mask near his face.

"Shall we go tell the others I'm back?"

"Yeah." And with that the mask was on and Tobi was back in play. I smiled and got ready to float out when Tobi ran to follow me. "Let's prank Sempai!:

"Sure. As soon as we let Pein know I'm here."

He nodded and ran a head to Pein's office.

So I was to add new things to train on my list. But over all, in my void, I could feel. I'd never thought I'd get to feel it again. And to know I simply ceased to exist was shocking but nothing for me to fear. If it happens, it happens…

But I'd miss a few members for sure…
