-~ Unique's POV~-
I was allowed outside as long as I didn't pull anything. It was I needed. Kisame the big blue dude kept me kind of steady about the situation, but lately I just felt as though I was about to lose something. Kisame was a top the cliff with me, worried as I could tell… which I think is weird for a sadistic shark man who is also in a criminal organization. I was mostly surprised in myself that I wasn't cowering away from him like I would other men. This almost sounds like one of those cheesy love stories… but I'm not in love, he just seems like a big brother to me.
I heard him behind me walking closer then stopping close. Though the ears priding from my head played that part as the main lead. He sat down next to me sighing. In return I looked at him. He was probably going to ask what or depressed auras were all about. Being honest, I don't think any of us knew. I lifted myself from my laying position and looked at him expecting him to ask. Instead…
"Hey, you okay?"Looking down I figured I couldn't nod, and I couldn't say no…so I shrugged.
"You don't know? Is that even possible?"
"Kisame, I have no idea why I'm depressed. I think something may happen, something horrible…"
My hair was beginning to grow longer, not to long but long enough to where the curls became visible again. I need to cut it….I started playing with it never the less.
"Hehe, do you need a hug?"
"NO! N-no," I hadn't realized that I had shot up from where I was sitting and was now six feet away from Kisame. He looked confused and somewhat frightened by my reaction. I did mention I haven't told anyone of those past incidents right? Damn this memory of mine! I relaxed walking back over, sitting down next to him.
"What the heck was that about?"
"Nothing, I just had a problem with a man once…sooooo ever since I've had a fear of men,"
He looked confused sending that confusion my way. I seemed he was thinking about something.
"Is that why you've been avoiding the Akatsuki?" He said. I nodded as a response, only making him return to his confused look. He looked back at me, eyebrows knitted.
"Yet you're not scared of me?" He said weirdly.
"I don't have a reason to," His face twisted further into confusion.
"Why not?"
"Why? Do I need to? Grant it you are in a criminal organization, but it's not like you run around while yelling "Fear Me!"
"Aw come on! How could you not fear me?!"
"I have no reason to!" I said enthusiastically.
"Unique! I am a blue shark man, over six feet tall!"
"So! I'm a pipsqueak and half mutt!" I sighed. So that's why…Because of his 'Differences' he thinks he should be treated differently. Maybe that's what was going on. The difference in attitude toward him made uncomfortable. I lay back down to watch the sun crawl down like a golden coy, and light the sky like it's sea of flames. Too bad Tori wasn't here.
-~Alison's POV~-
I was really having an issue with my tail. To say it was pestering me was an understatement. The thing kept swaying over my leg making me think something was crawling on me. Who knew that actually getting the chance to a somewhat- neko would be so irritating! Me and Zarina were sitting alone, playing several different games of cards. Of course being stuck with some of the most awesome anime characters would be the most serious and boring time of my life. They weren't even trying to be awesome! Sure some of them were off elsewhere on missions but we weren't there. To say the least; I was dying of boredom…
I got up less than reluctant to. It almost seemed like a dark cloud hung over this rackety base. Something felt like an important part of us was disappearing. Strange, but I kept a happy facade unlike everybody else. In any case this was the worst day I could possible experience. Helping Zuri up we were heading to find our favorite little short stuff. She was always on top of this place somewhere.
"Tori!" I yelled to our feathered friend. She looked from her perch (HeHe) down at us.
"What?" She yelled back.
"We're going to get Unique want to come?"
Tori just flew down then nodded. A twinge of playful jealousy bit you, but oh well. With our trio we walked to one of the many Akatsuki members asking for permission to go up top before going there. Darn it… that jealousy was back. Me and Zarina got stuck climbing, not before Courtney ran up tackling all three of us. Finally we had reached the top, despite our animalistic abilities, this cliff was difficult for us. Tori stood motionless, her wings still unfolded. Confused I walked around to see what was wrong. Her eyes were wide staring at something in front of her. I turned to where she was looking and stopped myself. There on the ground lay Kisame beaten and passed out.
"Kisame!" all of us yelled. I turned to Tori, "Go tell- or go get help from the members, quickly! Go!" Tory broke from her fear and took off flying down to the entrance. All us girls bent trying to wake the fish man afraid of what happened...Wait...Where is Unique?! I turned every which way trying to find her. Then Kisame woke. I grabbed his face and looked at him with a deadly look. "Kisame, Kisame! Where. Is. Unique!" Kisame shot up at this. He looked around while pulling what looked like a needle from his neck.
"They took her..." he said standing. I had a little hope. "The Anbu?" I asked hopefully.
"No...I don't...I don't know what they were..."
