Me: OMG guys, I'VE BEEN POISONED!!
Emily: Kenisha just said OMG. It's Oh My God. Get it straight.
Katie and TenTen: No offense, but aren't you supposed to be...uhh, I don't know...dying?
Me: Yes, but that's not the point. I've just been poisoned...
Tsunade: Yes, we heard you the first 70 times: Now get back on the operating table before this scalpel finds a way into your head!!
Chapter Eighteen
"...Poisoned? Not her...no...NO!!" Lee was breaking down again, but no tears came out. He had cried to much and now just wore a look of ultimate sorrow and despair. "Ahh, come on Lee, Tsunade-sama knows all of the antidotes to all of the known poisons in the universe. Kenisha is going to be just fine," TenTen said, patting him on the back. Lee just continued to walk away.
"No...I will be fine on my own...do not worry...I have always been alone," Lee said to himself, walking down the hall to who knows where. TenTen and Neji sighed.
"And he's usually the optimistic one," they said, hurrying after him. That left Emily and Katie in the waiting room. Again.
"Why are we the ones that get left?! It makes no sense, are we that annoying," Emily screamed. A passerby nurse put her finger to her lips and shushed Emily. Emily scoffed. "I mean seriously, what's wrong with us?"
Katie had reopened her book and sat down on the couch. "It's not that we're annoying," she said turning a page," Or that we have something wrong with us-" She turned another page. "It's just that they have things to do and people to see. Since we're family, we have a duty to stay at the hospital as long as it takes for the operation to be a success or failure." She turned another page. Emily scoffed again.
"So what are we sitting here for? We should be in there with her experiencing the same pain then!!" She pointed at the door. Katie looked up form her book and pulled her glasses down her nose in a serious manner.
"We're not in there because we didn't put ourselves in immediate danger with direct attacks. Kenisha, being the wild one by heredity, was bound to go for the direct approach. It was her fault for putting herself at risk and ours for not backing her up. But mainly her's," Katie said, returning to her book. Emily gave her a "WTF" look.
"If you knew this much, then why didn't you do anything?!" She put her hands on her hips, getting into Katie's face. "Hmmmm? Why, huh? Answer me, bitch!!" Katie closed her book slowly and looked up into Emily's angry face.
"We didn't help because it would've happened even if we tried to stop it. He was holding her to him for revenge, and all of the powers thathe needed for his revenge would be there if he were to unlock her soul, in case you forgot." Emily got out of her face and sat back down in her chair with a look of bewilderment on her face.
"Damn..." she said, looking back at the door that Kenisha was being healed behind. "Yeah, damn," Katie said, turning another page.
(Me: This is my first surgery piece, so bear with me. Katie: NO!!) "This is going to hurt, but you have to grit through the pain, okay?" Tsunade was next to her with two doctors on the other side of the bed, holding Kenisha down as the poison took it's brutal toll on Kenisha's trachea. They had run out of anesthetic, so Kenisha was having trouble with the scapel widening the wound that she had sustained from the Tsuchikage. (Emily: Well no shit!!)
Kenisha gasped in response, closing her eyes. The antidote went into the slash and Kenisha nearly screamed. "It's going to work in a minute, now we have to close this wound. Don't worry, you'll be fine," Tsunade said, putting a hand on Kenisha's forehead, wiping the sweat from it. 'I hope so,' she thought.
"Okay, hold on a minute." Tsunade focused her Chakra to her hands and they glowed green. She laid them on Kenisha's neck and it began to close. "Alright, just breathe in deep now.."
Kenisha did so and her trachea widened, giving Tsunade a better view of the damage. "Keep breathing deep, I'll have this fixed in a minute.." After a couple minutes, it was completly sealed with no scars. Kenisha took a deep breath of fresh air and blinked away tears from the bright light. "Alrighty, Kenisha, you're free to go. If you get your neck sliced again you know where to find me!" Kenisha got up and gave Tsunade a hug. Unfortunately, Tsunade doesn't like the closeness unless its during a surgery.
"Get off me! Now leave before I open that wound again!!" Kenisha hurried out the door and ran into the waiting room where the vending machines were, taking no notice of Emily and Katie. She put a dollar into it and got out a Snickers bar, eating it furiously. When she finally noticed that Emily and Katie were staring at her, Kenisha just mouthed, "I was hungry."
2 seconds later
"Kenisha-chan!!" "Ke-chan!!" "Y-you're ch-choking m-me..." The twins let go and Katie examined Kenihsa's neck.
"Hmmm...There's no scarring whatsoever, and the poison is expelled from your system, correct?" Kenisha nodded, not really listening and looked around the room.
"Hey guys, where's Lee-kun? I thought he'd be in the room as soon as the surgery was over...where'd he go?" She was giving them the famous "I'm innocent and cute so answer my fabulous question" look. It always worked.
"Damn, I hate that look," Emily said, turning away from Kenisha's glittery face.
"That makes two of us," Katie replied and tried not to look into Kenisha's eyes. It didn't work. "Fine! Your boyfriend went off to sulk because he thought the injury was fatal--"
"It could've been--"
"Well kid, it wasn't, so don't try to use it on us when--"
"Don't call me kid, Katie!! I'm going to--"
"TenTen and Neji are comforting him up in the loft of the Academy, but I think it'd be best if--"
"Bye!!" Kenisha dashed down the hall to the door.
"--you just go there yourself. Kenisha? Chibi-chan?"
"Smart person say what," Emily asked sarcastically.
"God dammit, Emily. By the way, don't I owe you 250 yen now?" Emily's face lightened up.
"How smart of you to remember our bet!! Now cough it up," Emily said in a fake Italian accent, holding out her hand.
"I'm running out of money to give you now," Katie said, looking through her ducky wallet.
"That's how I play the game," Emily said with a victorious smile on her face as she counted her winnings. (Me: God damn, Emily! You've got to get me in on this!! Emily: Well...if not for my closest cousin...Fine, I'll let you in on a cut. Uhh..16 percent, with interest if you help me with a couple things. Me: YAY!! I'm in a gambling gig! Katie: Damn you to the most scorching of hell, Emily-chan. Emily: I've been there actually. Nice place, and very good BBQ.)
Neji sighed along with TenTen as Lee sat down after 20 minutes of jumping around and chasing him around the Academy. They had finally stopped running around at the leafy loft at the back of the Academy. And by "stopped running," TenTen had pinned Lee to a pole in the loft and tied his arms behind his back.
"Lee, you idiot!! You're not even going to see how Kenisha's doing?" (Emily: Oooo... Me: I think that got him.) Lee bit at his bindings and Neji laughed.
"Those aren't just ropes. They infused with concentrated adamantium. You're not getting out of those, even with gates. So sit tight and listen to the girl." TenTen smiled.
"Thank you, Neji! Okay, Lee, you want to get down and see how Kenisha's doing now? If not, I'm going to keep you up there." Lee thought about it for a moment. "What if she is..."
"What if I'm what?" Kenisha had entered the loft, walking past a bewildered TenTen and a silent Neji (Hinata: Neji-nii-san is always silent. Stop making it sound like he's not a quiet ice cube ready to kill you with a flick of his wrist!! TenTen: You watch too many horror movies, Hinata...) and went to Lee, who was crying (Me: What else?). "Why are you crying, Lee-kun? I'm okay, so stop it. If you're thinking it's your fault, it's not. Trust me."
'How did she know what I was thinking?'
"Probably because you keep thinking out loud," Kenisha laughed and untied the ropes and tore the kunai and shuriken from his clothes. TenTen was the first to regain her composure. (Me: Well, not really...watch what happens next...)
"KENISHA-NEE-CHAN!!! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!! YAYYY!!!" TenTen nearly suffocated Kenisha in a tight bear hug that invovled spare kunai piercing into Kenihsa's hips. "OWWW!!" TenTen let go and Kenihsa gave her a less deadly hug back.
"Nice to know you that you regard me as family. Love you to, TenTen-nee-chan." Neji shook his head and finally came out of his confused stupor.
"Oh my God, you're still alive? I thought you were KIA for sure-Oh God, no Lee!!" Neji jumped off the loft with Lee becoming a green blur after him, brandishing one of the sharp, deadly metal things he was pinned with.
"I'm sorry!!" TenTen and Kenisha just watched as the two boys ran around like idiots. (Me: (\ /) Bunny ears!! Emily: WTF?! How does that relate to what we're doing at the moment?! Me: God, E-chan, you starting to sound like the brains that Katie stole from you.. Katie: DID NOT!!!)
The next night
"SLEEPOVER!!!!"
"Shut the f--k up, Ino!!"
"How about you, forehead girl?!" "Both of you shut up before I go Imperial Water jutsu on your asses!!"
"And I'll pierce you with very pointy and fatal metal objects in my duffel bag!!!"
Sakura, Ino, TenTen, and Kenisha were walking to Hinata's house (Katie: It's pretty much a mansion! Me: Then why did you tell me to type "house"? Katie: Shut up...) with all their sleepover supplies packed:
Water Guns
Kunai
Fuzzy Pajamas (Only Ino and Sakura)
Panda plushie (Do I have to say it?)
Doggy plushie (Once again, do I have to say it?)
Bubble gum Shampoo (Good God!!)
Tsunade's Secret Sake Stash (Oooo...she's gonna be soo pissed...)
Hair Ties (How obvious is that, seroiusly people?)
After the long walk
"We're gonna play Truth or Dare!!" Ino got out a fuzzy purple pillow and placed it in the middle of the group (Group consists of: Kenisha, TenTen, Ino, Sakura, Hinata Yamamoto, Naruto, Lee, Neji, and Sai. Let's just say that they needed a chaperone after the young boys came...)
"But I want to have a water fight!!"
"You're wearing white!!" Ino pointed at Kenisha's white tank top.
"So?"
"HELLO? You water-obsessed freak, it goes through!" Kenisha opened her mouth to respond, but closed it when she thought of all the boys around her. (Me: Dear God...)
"Fine," Kenisha pouted, putting her water gun away.
"Good, now since Hinata invited us, she gets to choose who goes first. It just can't be me."
"Dammit Ino!!" Hinata shushed TenTen and looked around the room. 'So many people that think I'm not devious and plotting their iminent doom,' Hinata thought, wearing an evil grin. Naruto got scared. (Me: I mean really scared. Like pee your pants scared.)
"HOLY SHIT, GET ME OUT OF HERE!! HINATA'S GOT AN EVIL LOOK ON HER FACE!! I NEED AIR, RAMEN, AND SOME NEW UNDERWEAR!! HELP ME, OH MERCIFUL GOD--"
"Naruto-kun, shut up!! I'm choosing the wild one." Naruto, Kenisha and Lee exchanged looks.
"Which one," they asked in unison.
"Who do you think?" Hinata pointed. Kenisha shivered.
"Oh God," she whispered. Naruto cast his head down.
"May God take pity on you and spare your soul," he said solenmly, patting her on the shoulder. Then he ran into the bathroom and locked the door. Hinata watched him go with a wierd look on her face, then turned to a pertrified Kenisha.
"Okay, Kenisha, I want you to let your hair down, get a tight black kitten Halloween costume, complete with fuzzy ears and a tail, and wear it at 12:01, when October 31st officially begins...and get Lee-kun to get an erection while wearing it."
(Tsunade: 3...2...1...)
Everyone screamed, so loud that Hinata was sure that the Mist village could hear them. "ALL LIFE AS I KNOW IT WILL BE ERASED FROM THIS EARTH AND I SHALL STAND ALONE AMONG THE DEAD!!!! OH DEAR GOD, WHY??!!!!!!!???"
"Shut up, Naruto-kun" Hinata whispered,and amazingly, they all got quiet. Kenisha was the first to get her breath back.
"So you're telling me you want me to get in a sexy costume and tempt Lee to get an erection and possibly get me naked? Damn...Naruto was right, you are evil. I'm not doing it," Kenisha said, crossing her arms and turning her head to the side with her eyes closed.
"Fine...then I'll force you to! Ino, make her get into the costume!" To everyone's shock and bewilderment, Ino put her hands into the Mind Possesion sign and sent her soul to Kenisha's.
Inside Kenisha's Soul
"Okay, I'm in. God, it's wet in here..."
"What'd you expect? I'm a water user."
Ino turned her head and saw Kenisha standing on the side of a wall, arms crossed.
"You know you can't win once you're inside my head, right," Kenisha said, walking slowly towards Ino.
Ino smirked. "Actually, I can..."
Back in the Living room
"I can't believe she's putting it on."
"I guess Ino got her weak spot. We're all doomed."
"Yayy," Hinata squealed next to Naruto, who in turn scooted a little farther away.
"My Kenisha-chan," Lee said softly as Kenisha/Ino walked out of the bathroom. Her dark brown/black hair was cascading down her back and little black ears atop her head. The kitty costume hugged her "curves" and a long fuzzy black tail hung behind her. Lee got a nosebleed and quickly wiped it away with his sleeve. Two seconds later, Ino went back to her body. Everyone could tell because One: Ino had a bruise on her arm and she had reached up to grab it in pain.Two: Because Kenisha was trying desperatly to get the skintight suit off and find a hair tie.
Yamamoto snapped a picture. "Everyone in the ANBU is gonna love this," he laughed, smirking at Kenisha. Kenisha blushed furiously and went to Lee.
"Well, Lee-kun...make a tent." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Kenisha blushed even more, and Lee blushed along with her. Everyone in the room was watching them intently, not willing to blink in case they missed something.(Me and Lee: Sick perverts!! Everyone else: ARE NOT!!!)
Lee gulped. 'Okay Lee, you can do it...Just look at her chest and think back to the Land of Water...'
"I thought I told you to stop thinking out loud, Lee-kun," Kenisha growled, her "tail" twitching.
"Ooooo, the pussy's mad," Sai said, earning a laugh from the group. Lee blushed some more and looked directly at her chest, then everywhere else on her body. His eyes stopped at her ass. 'Come on, make the damn tent so I can get out of this outfit!!,' Kenisha thought, her eyes looking at him in a pleading way.
(Tsunade: 3...2...1...)
TENT. "Holy shit," Kenisha whispered, staring at it for a fraction of a second before turning to Hinata. "There, happy? Now it's my turn." Hinata pouted.
"Fine, but you have to admit that I went "McEvil" on your ass, right? Only thing is you can't get me back." Kenisha frowned.
"Damn, I was planning on giving you worse," Kenisha said sadly, leaning on Lee. Something poked her. "God dammit, Lee, make that thing stop," she hissed. He complied and turned around.
"Okay...hmmm...Ino!!" Ino looked up in fear. "I'm going to pay you back for putting me into this," Kenisha said, getting up and swinging her "tail" while walking toward Ino. 'Oh shit,' Ino thought.
"Truth," Ino said, thinking she was safe. (Emily and Me: She's not.)
"I want you to ask Sai if he's gay, and if he's not: f--k him," Kenisha said with an evil grin. Sai stopped laughing and stared at Ino, frightened.
"S-Sai-kun...are you gay?" Sai chewed on his fingernails. "N...No..." Kenisha had a victorious grin on her face, but Yamamoto stepped in.
"We were told to keep this T rated, so the truth/dare cannot continue. Kenisha's turn is over, so Ino gets to go," he said, playing with the potted plant next to him as he spoke.
"Damn you," Kenisha said and Ino and Sai shared a sigh of relief. 'I'll have to thank him later,' Sai thought.
"Alright, I choose TenTen--"
"Hold up: Why are you only choosing girls?" Naruto was getting mad.
"Shut up! This invovles alchohol, so we're going to have fun," Ino grinned at TenTen.
"Lemme guess: You want me to chug down Tsunade-sama's Secret Stash of Sake? 'sigh' Well, I'm in: I was going to choose dare anyway."
TenTen got up and went to Ino's backpack and took out several large bottles of sake. "It'd be fair to warn you: I'm a weird drunk. Ask Neji. So you might want to remove any weapons you have out of my reach," TenTen said, uncorking a bottle. "Cheers," she said and drank it down.
"Oh shit," Neji whispered and ran behind the couch. TenTen began to sway and her cheeks became more pink than they already were. Then, to everyone's horror, she began to sing in Japanese. (Me: The song "Still Alone" by Ayumi Hamasaki no less. Emily: How the hell does she sing "Still Alone" when she's drunk? Katie: No one knows)
kimi wa ima doko aruite nani wo mitsume te iru no
itsu ka hanashite kurete yume oidsuzukete iru no
o mirai no karatu yokogao
o totemo suki datta kara
sono yume mamotte yuku tame ni wa
watashi ga icha ikenakatta
The group was captivated: No one besides Neji, Lee and Kenisha knew that TenTen could sing this well. And being drunk held the notes out a little longer, making it sound more beautiful. (Me: This is my favorite song!! Emily and Katie: WE KNOW, YOU USED TO SING IT IN THE SHOWER EVERY MORNING!!)
kimi wa itsumo konna basho de konna keshiki wo mite
dore kurai no fuan to mayoi to
tatakatte'ta no?
o hitori ni natte hajimete
o wakaru koto ga ookute
kono te o hanasazu ni ireba
doko made demo ikeru ki ga shita
onaji michi aruite iku to
utagau koto mo naku shinjita
TenTen drank a little more sake and threw the bottle in the direction of the kitchen, where Naruto and Hinata were eating ramen. It smashed and little glass shards fell into their steamy bowls. "God dammit TenTen, this is very delicious ramen!!" (Sakura: Guess who that was...)
doushite sore na no ni watashi wa...
doushite sore na no ni watashi wa...
da kedo watashi wa...
Throughout the song, TenTen had been drinking in the parts where the instruments are supposed to be. Bottles littered the floor. (Me: About 13!! Emily: God DAMN!!!)
yakusoku wa oboete iru no
wasurete ima nai no...
TenTen ended her song and turned to the couch, where Neji had slowly crawled away from. She stumbled toward him and he helped her down. TenTen looked in Neji's eyes and whispered in his ear, "Yakusoku wa oboete iru no. Wasurete ima nai no. Neji-kun..." Then she fainted. Sakura and Ino was crying at the end.
"That was soo sute!! She has such a beautiful singing voice!!"
"I love how she fell into Neji's arms and said (Me: Everyone, this will be a translation of what she said, if you don't know the song or don't know Japanese.) "I remember your promise. I remember every day." !! That was so romantic!!"
"WOULD YOU BOTH SHUT UP??!!!!!" Emily, Hinata, Katie, and Kenisha gave each other high fives. Since Emily had fire around her, Katie with rocks floating in front of her, and Kenisha having tendrils of water spiraling around her, the guys backed away a little bit. Yamamoto blew his whistle (Emily: How the hell did he get a whistle?) and everyone hushed down and turned to him.
"Time for bed, all of you. It's 1:16 and I intend on getting a good night's sleep. Don't have sex and don't squeal or any of your funny shit, or I'm busting into your rooms and kicking your ass. You got it?" They all nodded. "Then good night," he said.
This is how everything played out
Emily and Sasuke were cuddled up on the pull-out bed in the couch, Emily snuggling into Sasuke's bare chest.
Neji and TenTen were in Neji's room, TenTen drooling on Neji's hand while Neji had his arms around her waist protectively. Both of them had their hair down and it draped over them like the midnight sky.
Ino and Sai had went back their house to watch Blood Plus, cuddled up under a thin cotton blanket, watching Saya on the TV killing people.
Naruto and Hinata were in Hinata's room, moonlight falling from the window illuminating Hinata's long midnight blue hair and Naruto's spiky blonde hair. They were holding each other, breathing softly.
Katie was up and reading in Yamamoto's room, Yamamoto pretending to be asleep, but secretly watching her turn page to page in the moonlight that shined off her glasses and down her back. 'She's beautiful like this,' he thought.
Kenisha had gotten out of her kitty costume and into her regular shorts and white tank top, hugging Lee close to her, breathing softly and slowly. Lee was still awake, stroking her hair and staring at her face. "I love you, Kenisha-chan," he whispered. "And I do not want to lose you again." He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her lips, drifting to sleep.
Emily: Why the f--k were there only LeeKen monents in this chapter?
Me: LeeKen? I like that.
Lee: So do I.
Sasuke: Of course you do! Now please, Kenisha, write more SasuEmi moments in the next chapter, okay?
Me: SasuEmi? Okay, but there's also going to be YamaKat moments too, in case you didn't read.
Sasuke: Fine. NejiTen can wait. They always do.
Neji and TenTen: THAT ISN'T FAIR!!!
Me: It's okay: everyone except LeeKen is having a really romantic moment at the Halloween festival. Sorry Lee-kun.
Lee: That is okay: I am content with you being alive.
Everyone on Good and Evil Side: PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
