If something happens to have repeated early on, or if something seems confusing, I apologize. I was a little tired when I edited/rewrote some of this. Now I hope you enjoy :3
I am keeping the OC for Hidan's pairing. I like her OC and I think it matches up with Hidan nicely.
~First Person P.O.V~
It was Saturday morning and the dogs had been acting strangely friendly. Actually, they had started acting oddly friendly last night, not long after Shark and Nightmare appeared at my school. A few dogs were already friendly to begin with but only Jack had made a real attempt to play with me. Last night, before I went to bed, Wolfy had even laid in my lap as I drew Saber and Skully. Thankfully art was my best subject because it didn't need a lot of mental thinking like math, science or history did.
Anyways what really surprised me was how Ghost made no attempt to attack me. Ever since I had gotten home from school, Ghost made no attempt to either growl or bite me. Why, he didn't even try tackling me like he did when we first met. However, despite his, and all the others', sudden change in behavior, I could sense that something was wrong with the dogs. Were they just sucking up to me? Also, even though Ghost was suddenly acting like a good dog, I could see something flash in his pinkish, purple eyes. It was likely he would return to trying to kill me once he got what he wanted.
"Ouch!" I cried out as I handed on my stomach after tripping over one of the dogs. Turning my head behind me I saw none other than Ghost, who was wagging his tail and looking at me all innocent like.
Just by the way the silver Husky -which I learned the breed of after looking it and the others up on the internet- was looking at me I knew he tripped me on purpose. This dog's last owner must have trained hm to be some kind of guard dog. Those dogs were normally only friendly to their owners. If I was going to retrain Ghost not to hurt me, I am going to need a lot of help.
With the help of Autumn, who turned out to be a red German Shepherd, I got back onto my feet. I thanked the dog by scratching the top of his head. Autumn was one of my favorite dogs along with Shark, Nightmare and Jack. The German Shepherd was rather a calm dog which is what I really liked about him. I liked being able to play with the dogs -though Jack was the only one that really played with me- but there was also a time to be calm and just snuggle.
"I think I am going to need a lot of help." I mumbled to myself, sighing tiredly as I made my way to the downstairs main living room. This house was so big that each floor was like three houses on it's own.
The only, important, rooms that didn't repeat on the first floor was the kitchen and the dining room. In fact, there was only two kitchens and dining rooms in the whole house; one on the first floor and one on the third floor. The third floor was where all the servants lived and my family didn't like the idea of them using the main kitchen downstairs. Otherwise each floor had at least three living rooms, five public bathrooms and six bedroom bathrooms, a library, two dens, three offices and two study rooms. Other rooms were either built as bedrooms or rooms like game rooms and art rooms.
The main living room was the biggest out of three downstairs. In fact, it was so big, it was almost two living rooms in one. One side of the living room held three couches big enough to fit four people, two love seats and two puffy arm chairs. Against the wall rested a large screen TV and don't ask for the size since I do not know. Under the TV, resting on a rack, was a DVD playing, a VCR and a few game systems. Next to the rack sat a large shelf of movies and games.
The other side of the room was pretty much the same except it had no TV and a coffee table and in the middle of all the furniture. The furniture on both sides was shaped in a horse shoe like fashion. To through in other details, pictures I didn't care for, but didn't care to remove, hung on the walls. Also, on the fun side of the living room, side tables were placed between all the furniture. The carpet of the living room was a sea blue color while the wall was made of out cheery wood; or at least that is what I was once told.
Anyways, entering the living room, I spotted several of the dogs laying around the room. Nightmare and Shark, who I found out was a Great Dane, were laying on one of the couches on the fun side. Skully, a German short-haired pointer, was laying in front of a bookcase filled with maps and history books. Jack, who was a Jack Russell terrier, was bugging a growling Wolf on a love set on the boring side of the living room. It felt good to know the breeds of the dogs now and I couldn't help but feel a little giggly as I realized Jack-O-Lantern's breed actually had the name Jack in it.
"Now play nice, Jack." I said and patted the terrier on his head. The dog turned his head towards me as I sat down in the puffy chair beside him and grabbed the phone book that was under the side table. Yeah... the boring side has side tables as well but not as many because of the coffee table.
Flipping through the phone book, I didn't stop until I got a number for dog training. It was in the adds section of the book and it included email as well as what kind of experience the company had with dogs. By what little the add told me, the company was a family run business and, according to the last name, the family was supposingly Japanese. Liking what the add advertized, and the fact the company was only a few blocks away from here, I picked up the phone that sat on the side table next to the puffy chair and began to dial the listed number.
As the phone rang a few times, Jack jumped off the couch and tried jumping up on my lap. Compared to all the dogs, Jack was the smallest of the group. He was still big enough to give a toddler a back ride but if I tried to sit on him, I'm sure I'd break his back. So, if it wasn't for the fact he kept jumping for my face, I wouldn't have minded if Jack wanted to sit on my lap. I had to push him off me at least three times before the orange faced dog resorted to just pawing at my legs.
At the same moment that this was happening, I noticed that Nightmare and Autumn, who entered the room at some point took Jack's place on the love seat next to Wolfy. The Golden Retriever himself seemed to glare at the hyper terrier begging for my attention. Shark followed Nightmare over from the fun side of the living room and laid at my feet next to Jack. When Jack saw this, he pulled his attention away from me to the Great Dane. Wow... compared to Shark, who I'm sure could support my weight, Jack was size of a kitten.
"Hikari's dog training service, how can we help you?" A man's accented voice suddenly said from the other end of the phone in a businessmen kind of way. Huh, I guess I was so occupied with the dogs that I didn't notice the phone had stopped ringing.
"Hello, my name Ashlen Cook. I live at St. James Drive, 3245. I need some help taming a Husky I got a couple days ago. He is a handful and doesn't seem to like me but I don't have the heart to take him to the pound." I answered to the man's voice. I could see the dogs staring at me but I shook it off as them being curious as to who I was talking to.
"Ah, a Husky you say? Can you describe him a bit more for me? I need to see what we are dealing with so I can send over the most qualified on my staff." The man replied after a few seconds of silence. I smiled slightly and nodded, even if no one besides the dogs could see me.
"Well, as I mentioned earlier, he is a Husky; a silver Husky to be more literal. He seems alright with most of the other dogs I have but often fights with a Pit Bull I own. He has tried to attack me a number times, including tripping me earlier today. His name is Ghost." I said and left out the fact I thought I was tripped on purpose. I didn't want people to start thinking I was crazy now; that might give them a reason to put me in the loony bin. Or I could just be over thinking things.
"Alright, someone should be over in the next ten minutes or so." The accented man replied after yet another moment of silence. Towards his answer I found my smile growing and I thanked him before hanging up.
"Well, it looks like we will be having a visitor soon. So please be nice to her because I don't want to have to punish you. Now, I suppose you are hungry so I will get you some chicken. Oh... well then, I guess this also means I will have to leave buying supplies until tomorrow." I talked to myself as I remembered I had wanted to do some shopping today. Well, I guess the dogs could handle one more day of human food but, tomorrow, I am also going to have to buy supplies for a doggy door; that way I don't have to keep the back door opened like I did for the last two nights.
~Third person P.O.V~
"Leader-Sama, we might have a problem, un." Deidara said as he and the others ran into the room Pein and Konan rested in. The tiger like dog, who was revealed to be a Rottweiler by Ashlen and Konan a poodle, looked over to the Golden Retriever with cold eyes.
"Oh, and what is this problem?" He demanded, eyeing every single Akatsuki dog in front of him. Everyone, except Tobi who sat in place looking happy, gave the Akatsuki leader serious looks.
"It seems that Hidan has misbehaved so much, our host has used a communication device to call in for help. She said the visitor would be here in a matter of minutes." Sasori answered. Pein inhaled deeply to keep himself nerves calm before narrowing his eyes over to the Jashinist as he and Kakuzu entered the room.
"What the hell are you glaring at me for?" Hidan demanded snarky like. Pein's glare intensified at the Husky.
"I had only one order, to play nice with the girl. Because you couldn't even follow one simple order, our host is calling in help. This is your fault, Hidan, so you will behave for when this new person comes." The Akatsuki leader ordered angrily but tried to keep his body as calm as possible. Hidan growled and bared his sharp, dog teeth.
"I have been behaving! If you have been fucking paying attention you would have noticed I hadn't tried biting the bitch once. I haven't been growling at her either." Hidan snarled, his back arched as if he was going to attack.
"You purposely tripped her earlier today." Sasori pointed out calmly. It didn't help matters and Hidan turned his glaring eyes on the German Shepard.
"Oh, shut up! That doesn't count!" He demanded. Pein growled narrowed his ringed eyes dangerously at the Husky.
Sometimes he really regretted allowing Hidan into the Akatsuki. He was disrespectful, rude and much more. However his immortality is what made him the perfect partner for Kakuzu. Kakuzu had a bad temper and had killed all of his previous partners because of it. So, when Hidan popped up, it was the perfect opportunity to pair the two up. Kakuzu could rip Hidan to pieces in his anger but the man still wouldn't die. Still, Pein would gladly kill Hidan if it wasn't for the fact he was immortal and useful.
"Don't test my patients, Hidan. You'll find it very unpleasant to fight me." Pein threatened, baring his own teeth threateningly. Hidan growled deeper and pulled his attention back to Pein, baring his own fangs, unafraid of the orange dog.
"Do you think I am afraid of you? You are nothing but a powerless, over sized mutt." Hidan laughed insanely as he prepared for his first attack. However, before the dogs could go at it, Konan and Kakauzu jumped between the two of them, keeping them away from each other.
"You're nothing more than a powerless mutt, as well, you idiot." Kakuzu growled, baring his own dog fangs. Hidan growled deeply as Konan looked at Pein seriously.
"Pein, please calm down. He's not worth it and our host thinks of you as one of the good dogs. You shouldn't give her a reason to think otherwise." She said in a gentle tone, trying to calm the man dog down the best she could. Pein growled again, eyeing the Jashinist dangerously, but pulled back and nodded.
"Yes, you're right, Konan. However, once we return to normal, he will be severely punished." He agreed but his voice held a venomous threat. Konan nodded in understanding and stepped away from Pein while Hidan and Kakuzu were snarling at each other.
"You'd think that after a while, watching those two fight would get boring or annoying." Kisame said with a wide grin on his face, he and Itachi watching the two members attack each other. Itachi Hned and laid on his stomach as they watched.
"It's rather immature but I am not in the mood to stop them. Let them act as children if they want to." Itachi ordered calmly, watching the fight in boredom. Kisame chuckled but didn't get a chance to reply as the girl came back into the room.
"Hey! Cut it out, bad dogs!" Ashlen shouted as she appeared back in the room, staring down in disappointment at the dogs. The last thing she needed was for the dogs to to start acting up before her guest got here.
~Normal P.O.V~
Aw man, why did the dogs have to act up now of all times? However I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised that Ghost and Frankenstein were fighting again. The two dogs seemed to hate each other. Except this time the dogs were literally fighting; they were actually biting each other and clawing at each other. I was afraid that, if the trainer saw this, he, or she, would become scared and quit before they even began.
As if fate decided to be cruel, the buzzer for the front gates went off. If it wasn't for the fact I was nervous on how the trainer would react towards the dogs, I probably would have laughed at how the dogs jumped at the sound off the buzz. Instead, I ignored the dogs and ran towards the front door, where the control panel was. I pushed the bottom button, that would let the person inside without having to talk to them first, before opening the door to see a girl walking up to the front door.
The girl looked to be around my age and, unlike her family named company, she didn't look Japanese. Her skin was more of a pale white, she had short, choppy brown hair with bangs hanging over her right eye. As the girl got closer I saw that her eyes, from the one that wasn't hidden, was a reddish purple color. I also noticed, as the girl got closer, had eyebrow, bottom lip, ear and nose piercings.
This girl was wearing a dark purple tank top with a long sleeve, black fishnet like shirt over it. She was also wearing some kind of jeans I couldn't recognize, boots I'd probably see people in the army wear and a black Harley Davidson hat; which I knew because I've seen that kind of hat before. That last thing I noticed, as the girl stared up at the mansion in awe, was a strange, upside down triangle necklace around her neck.
"Hello, I am Hikari Masayuki. My father told me you had a Husky that needed to be trained. Can I come in?" the girl asked once she made it to the front door. I nodded and backed away from the door, noticing at that moment a couple of the dogs had followed me.
"Yes, come on in and, please, don't mind these dogs. They are good and wont bother you. Will you?" I looked down at the dogs and asked. They didn't respond in any way as they simply watched as Hikair entered the house.
"How on earth did you get so many dogs? I mean, according to the size of the house you must be rich, but at these sizes they must have cost you a few hundred a piece. Not to mention purebreds normally cost a lot more than mixed breeds. Did your parents buy them for you?" The girl asked as she looked down at Nightmare, Wolfy and Autumn. I frowned at the mention of my parents and shook my head.
"No, I bought them at the pound myself for three hundred a piece. My parents have been dead for the past six years; it's just me and the dogs." I said as I lead Hikari through the house to the room I last saw Ghost. I could hear both Hikari and the dogs following behind me.
If this girl had to ask about my so called parents, she must have not known about me. That was actually a good thing for me because it meant, for once, I might be able to make a real friend. However, I will not be too quick to judge or make friends with this girl. She just found out I was rich so what would stop her from trying to mooch off me like all the others? Besides, even if she doesn't, I might not see her after today.
"Huh? Then who has been taking care of you?" The girl asked. I hugged my arms across my chest as I became uncomfortable with the conversation.
"I've been taking care of myself. Anyways, the dogs must have moved back into the living room. This way." I said and entered the room. It didn't have an official name, or at least I didn't think so, and all it had was with a couple of chairs, a desk and book shelf full of books. It didn't matter much since both Ghost and Frankenstein must have left the room when I went to answer the door.
"So this dog is pretty aggressive then? That is what my father told me you told him." Hikari asked and I was glad she changed the subject. I nodded and sighed tiredly, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Yeah, he is. So far, Ghost has tried attacking me a couple of times; including tripping me earlier today. There is also a Pit Bull he does not get along with; he will go as far as bite and attack him. Are you sure you can handle things like this?" I asked, honestly worried for Hikari's safety. The girl smiled at me as we entered the living room.
"If I couldn't my dad wouldn't have sent me. Just let me see the dog." Hikari chuckled as we approached the two dogs on the fun side of the living room. Thankfully Ghost and Frankenstein were no longer fighting with each other.
~Third Person P.O.V~
Besides the few Akatsuki members that had followed Ashlen, all the members had gathered into the living room. Pein had managed to get Hidan and Kakuzu to stop fighting shortly after the girl left the room, with Itachi, Deidara and Sasori following her. Next, the Akatsuki leader managed to move all the members back into the living room, where he believed their host would be bringing their visitor.
"Ah, so this is the bitch that is suppose to tame me." Hidan snickered evilly. He was about to bare his teeth threateningly but stopped as Pein growled at him.
"So this is the Husky that needs to be tamed?" the new girl asked Ashlen as she looked down at Hidan. Ashlen nodded and walked over to Kisame, who say on the arm chair.
"Yeah, I hope he doesn't give you as much trouble that he's given me. If it wasn't for this dog here, I'm sure Ghost would have taken a chunk out of me" Ashlen smiled as she scratched Kisame behind his dog ears. The said dog man grinned and wagged his tail.
Normally, if Kisame was still human, the blue mist ninja wouldn't allow this kind of thing. However, this was the first time in a long time that he had gotten any positive attention from a girl; young or old. Blue skin wasn't too common where he came from so his appearance alone tended to freak people of all ages out. So, upon the attention he was getting as a dog, Kisame couldn't help but wonder how the girl would react to his human form.
"Huh, what an odd dog. Was his fur dyed?" the strange girl asked as she looked over to Kisame. Feeling insulted, Kisame bared his fangs in a growl.
"Why that little..." He began to say but was stopped as she patted his head. He was confused by her behavior but the confusion was suddenly replaced by surprised as she mentioned his human name as well as Naruto's.
"Um, who's Kisame Hoshigaki and what is Naruto?" Ashlen asked in confusion. Hikari removed her hand away from the blue dog to look at the other girl in shock.
"You seriously don't know about Naruto? It is the best Manga and anime series of all time. Kisame Hoshigaki is one of the bad guys in the story. He is a blue, shark like man that has a powerful sword that eats charka." Hikari tried to explain but Ashlen still looked confused. She wasn't the only one though and the Akatsuki dogs looked at the new girl questioningly.
"Well, it looks like we are well known here." Pein announced. The others, even Hidan who had calmed down a bit, nodded in agreement but continued to look confused.
"But what did she mean by a manga series and what the hell is anime, un? Just who is this girl?" Deidara voiced out questioned that was plaguing everyone's mind at the time.
"She also mentioned the nine-tails brat. I can't sense any chakra radiating off of her. Not only should she not know my name but to know the jinjuriki host... something is wrong." Kisame said and jumped off of the chair. The others voiced their agreement as the two, young, girls continued to talk.
"Just look it up on the internet. Now, that is the Husky you need help with, right?" Hikari changed the subject as she pointed to Ghost. Curious about this new girl, Hidan returned to growling at her but stopped short as he noticed something.
"What the..." The Jashinist whispered to himself as he noticed a particular necklace dangling around her neck. Jumping at Hikari, Hidan pushed the startled girl on her back and began to sniff her Jashinist pendent.
"Ghost, get off of her!" Ashlen demanded as she tried to grab the dog around his waist. However, she wasn't quick enough, and Hidan was able to bite her hand hard enough to cause it to bleed.
"Hah! Take that you stupid bitch!" The Jashinist laughed insanely, licking the blood off of his lips. Now if he could only complete his ritual but, as a dog, it was impossible.
"Gah!" Ashlen shouted and pulled her arm away quickly. She placed her bleeding hand between her side and other arm in attempt to stop the bleeding.
"Hidan, you moron!" Kakuzu glared with a growl. Pein and Konan shared the glare while the others looked ether shocked or surprised.
Hikari, herself, looked at the dog in shock. She knew the dog was aggressive bite biting her client's hand was the last thing she expected the Husky to do. It must have been a deep bite as well because Ashlen was attempting to stop the bleeding. Yet, instead of being frightened, Hikari was reminded of yet another Naruto villain; Hidan. Not only had the dog tackled her to sniff her Jashinist pendent but Ghost also, not only bit Ashlen, but licked the blood off his mouth as well.
Hidan happened to be Hikari's Naruto crush. So the thought that this Husky could actually be him embarrassed her. However, Hikari wasn't worried about being attacked like Ashlen was. By the way Ghost was sniffing her pendent, he'd probably think she was a sister in faith. Yet all of this was doubtful because Hidan was only a character for a Japanese manga and anime series.
"Are you alright?" The younger girl asked as she walked over to Ashlen. Ashlen took a few steps backwards and nodded her head.
"Yeah, I'm fine; I'm just going to go wrap up my hand then go finish my homework. If you need to find me I will be upstairs." Ashlen said before giving Hikari the directions to her room. Then, wishing the young dog trainer luck, Ashlen turned around and ran to the nearest bathroom to clean out her hand.
~Time Skip~
Hikari had been training Ghost, or rather Hidan, for about three hours now and things were going really good. The Jashinist dog was actually coporating quick nicely with her, which was quiet confusing. Not once had Ghost tried to bite Hikari or snarl at her. Then again, some dogs just get along better with some people than others.
After a while, all of the other Akatsuki members had gotten bored of watching the girl named Hikari tame Hidan. They had been interested in seeing what Hidan would do with her but, after realizing he'd corporate with her, they all left to do something else. Some had even gone to check in on their host, Ashlen.
"Well, it's has been a while so how about we stop for a break?" Hikari said after, hands on her hips as she looked down at the Husky. Grinning, Hidan nodded his head in agreement.
Normally he wouldn't give a fuck about anyone. If he was given the chance, he would have ripped their supposed host's and clean off his body. It had been a long time since he preformed a ritual and he needed to make a sacrifice before his god got angry. This girl, however, bore the Jashinist pendent. Even if Hidan could not sense any chakra from this girl, he believed she was a sister in faith. Besides, you didn't need chakra to kill someone; it may help but you didn't need it.
"I think I will ask Ashlen if I can give you a bath. It smells like you haven't had one is a very long time." Hikari unintellectual insulted as she turned around to leave the room. Hidan growled at the insult but sniffed himself when the girl wasn't looking; he smelt worse than the time Kakuzu took him to the dump to collect bounty money. (1)
"Hey, Ashlen, can I give Ghost a bath?" Hikari asked as she and Hidan reached the open door to her room. Ashlen, who had her left hand bandaged up, looked up from her desk, which had math homework on it, while Autumn/Sasori and Wolfy/Deidara was in the room with her.
Sasori was calmly laying on the girl's bed in a lazy matter while Deidara explored under the bed. In his exploring, the blond dog found one of Ashlen's sketch books. Pulling it out, Deidara carried it over to Ashlen's legs, where he laid on his stomach and used the tip of his nose to open the book. Upon seeing the sketches Deidara had to admit the girl had talent. Drawings like this wasn't his favorite style of art, but bomber appreciated other art styles even if he didn't agree with them. (2)
"Yeah, go ahead, just be careful. I haven't had time to give them baths yet so I don't know how he will react. The closest bathroom is three doors down on the right." Ashlen answered as she lightly scratched the top of Deidara's head. The Akatsuki bomber looked up at her for a moment before glaring at Hidan as he started to snicker.
"So, are already starting to warm up to the bitch, junior?" Hidan asked mocking, causing Deidara to growl at him, teeth bared. He only stopped from getting up because the girl's hand was still on his head.
"Fuck off, Hidan, un! You're one to talk, warming up to that girl. Got lost, yeah." Deidara barked, snarling at the Jashinist. Hidan only snickered as Hikari motioned for him to follow her.
Snickering at Deidara once more, Hidan turned around and followed after the girl. Thanks to Ashlen's directions, Hikari got in the bathroom easily. Upon entering the bathroom, which was about the normal size for a standard bathroom, Hikari noticed it had one of those bathtubs that come with a shower built in. Luckily the shower head had one of those optional power things. So, turning the shower head to off, Hikari turned on the water and tested it to make sure the water wouldn't be too hot or too cold. Once she made sure the water was perfect, Hikari flipped the switch that would turn the shower on but nothing came up because the shower head had been turned to off.
"Alright, Ghost, time to get in." Hikari smiled and motioned for the dog to get into the tub. Hidan nodded his head before jumping inside, actually excited to get stink off of him.
Once the dog was in place, the girl aimed the shower head towards the dog before turning the nob to medium power. A moment later the water started to shoot out of the shower head. Yet, unexpectedly, as the warm water hit the Husky, a thich, white smoke filled the bathtub and spreed to the whole room.
"What the fuck!" Hikari shouted as she coughed, waving her hand to try and clear the smoke. In the progress she had dropped the shower hose and backed away from the bathtub.
"Fuck yeah! It's about freaking time! How stupid can that snake bastard be? Water, ha! Who would have thought."A man's insane, laughing voice said through the thick smoke. Hikari paled at recognizing the voice and took a few more steps away from the bathtub.
Soon the smoke cleared and a silver haired, naked, man stood in the bathtub. A wide, evil, grin played on his face as he looked down at his now human body. Hikari's face turned a very deep shade of red as she recognized who the man was immediately. The teenage girl was so shocked and embarrassed to be in this man's presence that she couldn't even speak.
"Oy, bitch, do you mind getting me a damn towel? There is a draft in here." Hidan said once when he noticed that the girl was just staring at him. However, unlike what he thought would happen, the girl suddenly fainted on the bathroom floor, which was getting wetting and wetter because of the shower.
Hidan simply tsked and stepped out of the shower to find a towel for himself himself, his feet slapping on the wet floor. After a moment of looking, the Jashinist finally found a white towel behind a door that happened to be a towel closet. As Hidan was wrapping it around his naked waist he could hear the barking of his comrades and that bitch girl that bought him coming his way. A insane smirk spread across his face, thinking that, now that he had his human body back, he would have a little fun; all that would make this perfect was if he had his Scythe with him.
