Hey guys, I'm back
Hey people, I'm back! I'm really happy that so many of you enjoy my story so much, honestly, without you all, I would have never gotten this far, and it's only Chapter 5! That goes to show you how well I stick to things…
Also, I'm going to try several different styles of writing in this story, it's like a test run thing. Let me know which you liked the best, and why, and pointers on how to be better please. I am trying to get better, and want to find my strong and weak points.
Anyway, I don't really have much to say other than that sooo….
"Dedashi!"
Immediately, Kumori sprang into a head on attack. She feigned a blow to the Jashinest's neck, and twisted around to sweep her legs underneath his. However, Hidan jumped up out of harms way and attempted to kick her. Kumori returned the favor by grabbing his foot, and pulling him forward, using his momentum to amplify the fist.
With a sickening crunch that made the hair on the back of Kumori's neck crawl, Hidan flew back into a tree, jaw broke and rather pissed. Kumori wasted no time, and immediately sent a surge of chakra to her legs, amplifying her speed so that she had gotten to Hidan before he'd even looked up. Sending another wave of chakra to her fist, the kunoichi aimed a punch at his stomach. Then, before he went flying, she grabbed his throat, and kicked him in the hip.
Another crunch echoed throughout the clearing and the small crowd that consisted of Kisame, Itachi, Deidara, Tobi, Kakuzu, Leader, and Konan all had to move out of the way. Else they wanted to be the obstacle in the way.
"Oy! Watch where you're flinging people!" called an annoyed Kakuzu. Seriously, who just throws people around?! Kakuzu jumped out of the way as Kumori ran over, and sent the Jashinest flying. (again)
Kumori apparently.
Hidan, who had finally managed to NOT be thrown around, began to kick, punch, and block in sync with the white haired kunoichi. And they continued to do just that.
Punch. Block. Kick. Block. Kick. Block. Kick. Punch/block. They seemed to know what the other was going to do, before the other one even knew. It was almost as if they had fought this very same fight for thousand of generations, never changing the pattern.
Of course, more grunts came from Hidan's side seeing as Kumori wasn't weak in her punches. After a few snaps resounded from the Jashinest's arm, Hidan jumped away, snapping a few bones back into place. Kumori ran up, and their fight continued.
Finally Leader felt he'd seen enough.
"Alright, that's enough, take a break, and heal yourselves."
'Great. In other words, Kumori, use your chakra to heal Hidan and yourself. After that we'll go into ninjutsu. This uses chakra. Thanks Leader.' Kumori thought sourly. She'd already healed the few things that she felt were in need of healing on herself, and was walking over towards Hidan.
"Lemme see your arm." Hidan looked up at her, and stretched his arm out for her to see. She poked and prodded a few places, noting where Hidan would react to the most. Said man was having issues with Kumori's rough handling.
"Could you be any rougher?" He grumbled sarcastically. Kumori glared at him.
"Well s-o-r-r-y. I haven't had a lot of experience seeing how I've been living under a rock for the past decade." She snapped dragging the words, though she did seem to be a little more conscious on her prodding.
Hidan just remained silent. Sure, she probably wasn't exactly comfortable being an ex-experiment. But seriously, she'd been under a rock?! He looked at his arm. And was startled to see how pale she was compared to him. You could even see the veins branch off in random directions; his tan skin making it all the more obvious.
She seriously had lived under a rock. Damn.
"Wow your pale." Oops, that wasn't supposed to come out. Instead of getting snapped at, or even a glare, he was surprised to see Kumori look at her hand, and then to Hidan's.
"Hmm, guess I never really noticed." She blinked, poked his arm once more, and then gripped his elbow.
"Ok, I need to realign a couple bones, it's going to hurt. Brace yourself." But before he could even process this information, she'd gripped his forearm, twisting and pulling it to put the bones in order.
"HOLY JASHIN!!" Hidan screeched, squirming, and cursing. The pain was rippling up his skin like wild fire, burning, agonizing, and angry pain. Thankfully on his part, it was over as soon as it had started. He breathed a sigh of relief when mint green chakra engulfed the pale girls hands, and the pain ebbed away; the bone reattaching itself.
After a minute, the chakra faded, and Hidan retracted his arm. Kumori suddenly turned away and stalked of into the trees. Leader's ringed gaze followed her.
"Where are you going?" He questioned in a you-should-be-here-and-paying-attention-not-going-off-to-who-knows-where tone. Kumori turned around, and put a finger to her lips, the standard 'shush' signal. Miffed, Leader fell quiet, but still followed the kunoichi. Deidara, the only one other that was not watching Hidan and Kakuzu fight about who-knows-what, followed them as well.
When they reached the edge of the forest, Kumori sniffed the air. She seemed to be contemplating something. Leader and Deidara watched with interest, wonder what she was going to do next. Whenever she reached her answer, loud snaps became audible, and a few of her bones jutted out of her skin, glinting in the sun. Most of the bones seemed to sizzle away, becoming a white liquid that disappeared into a fine mist, before blowing away in the breeze. From the ends of some bones, the same liquid mist leaked, as if the inside was becoming hollow. Her bones shrank, and she became to no taller than Leader or Deidara's hand. Her hair, instead of attaching to her skin and becoming fur like usual, it flared out, flattening into dozens of small plates. Her face narrowed, and a beak began to form. Her legs changed shape, and became bird-like. Bones sprouted from her back, and an extremely thin layer of her pale skin covered the exposed bone. Finally, her hair, which had now become feathers, attached to her skin, and thin-skin covered bones turned into wings. Her cheeks were red.
Before Deidara and Leader, was a red and white cockatoo.
"Leader, Deidara, I need you to be quiet." Said men looked at each other. Deidara shrugged, Leader blinked, and Kumori spread her wings, taking off for the forest. Leader and Deidara sprinted after her curiosity peeked.
A few minutes later, Kumori fluttered to the ground into a small clearing. Several bird species hopped about the clearing, pecking at exposed worms from the recent rain. Kumori, hopped strait over to a tall, thin bird that had huge wings, and a long thin beak that seemed almost as wicked as its tiger-claw like talons. It was black, with white tipped feathers.
Leader watched as Kumori and the mystery bird looked at each other, Kumori looking passive (they thought at least, it's not like they've ever tried to read a bird before) while the other took in Kumori. After a few seconds, the bird hopped over some, allowing Kumori to join it and few others in their search. Kumori hopped around, pulling up worms and forming a small pile. After about ten worms, Kumori stretched her neck, fluffing out her feathers, and flapping her wings before settling again. To the pyromaniac, it seemed like the bird equivalent of stretching.
The strange bird Kumori had approached earlier hopped over to Kumori, and stretched as well. Kumori opened her beak, and produced a series of scratchy high-pitched squeaks, whistles, and chirps. The other bird tilted its head, and replied with wavering whistles. Kumori bobbed her head twice before opening her wings, and flying to a branch high up in the trees, the other bird following.
Deidara and Leader watched all the while, wondering just what was going on.
Finally, after a few minutes, the two flew down again, only this time, they headed straight for the two Akatsuki, landing on a branch directly infront of them. The black bird whistled at Kumori, who nodded, and then began to morph back into being human. The other bird puffed up slightly, but stayed put.
"Someone hand me a kunai, mines still at the clearing." Blinking, Leader did so.
"What the hell un!" Deidara yelled, eyes widening, grabbing Kumori's wrist containing the kunai when she went to slit her other wrist. Leader grabbed her other arm, bringing it well away from the weapon. The strange bird squawked in alarm flying up onto a higher branch.
Kumori blinked, before scowling at the two.
"Let me go, you'll see what I'm doing in a minute. It's not like I'm trying to kill myself, why would I do that infront of you two?"
"Why the hell are you slitting your wrist un?!" Deidara questioned, his grip on her wrist tightening.
"Tell us now, otherwise we're not letting go." Leader threatened, his hold also tightening. Kumori sighed in defeat, before looking up at the bird, and letting out a low whistle. In reply, the bird flew down onto her shoulder.
"This is a really rare bird. Its talons and beak are excellent weapons, and the bird's small frame with huge wings makes it one of the fastest birds. If I get some of its blood in mine, I will be able to morph into it. This one here agreed to it if it got all of my worms, which I don't need."
"That still doesn't explain why you're cutting yourself un!" Leader and Kumori looked at him as if he'd grown to heads.
"WHAT UN!?"
"I have to have this bird's blood in my bloodstream." Kumori simplified.
"So un?" Kumori's eye twitched.
"I have to cut myself so I can get the blood IN MY BLOODSTREAM!" Kumori said slowly, irritation lacing through each word. Deidara blinked, before blushing a bit.
"Un…" (oh) Kumori snorted.
"Idiot." Before the blond was able to retort, Kumori yanked her arm out of his grasp. The move made him fall forward, and out of the tree. With a surprised yelp, he grabbed for something catch himself. His hand found Leader's foot, who was then pulled down with the bomb artist. Thankfully, he'd let go of Kumori.
Leader, doing the same as Deidara, reached out for a hold, but with Deidara's weight, he was pulled down too fast, and he groped air. Deidara, who still had a hold of Leader's foot, crashed into the ground. Leader fell between two logs, and on Deidara. (Deidara fell between the crevasses horizontally of the logs, so he's stuck, and Leader was between the logs, but went in vertically, and his now stuck by his waist. I hope that wasn't to confusing)
"Damnit Deidara!"
"G-Gomenasai un"
Up in the trees, Kumori watched as the two tried to untangle themselves, before shaking her head. Turning towards the startled bird, she smoothed its ruffled feathers. The bird looked at her, and just shook its head.
"Humans." It muttered.
"I know." Kumori agreed. The bird looked at her confused.
"Aren't you a human?" It whistled. Said kunoichi shook her head.
"I don't consider myself fully human, since I have way too many chakra types and colors thanks to the blood of other animals. Not to mention the fact that only a third of my blood is human anymore." The bird cocked its head to the side.
"I see…." Kumori then took the kunai, and slit her wrist. The bird hopped down onto the outstretched forearm, and stretched its wing over the wound. Kumori took the tip of the kunai, and made a small cut on the membrane. The bird fidgeted, but kept its wing over the cut. After four of five fat drops of blood fell into Kumori's wrist, she put a hand over the bird's wing, healing it.
"Whoa! Guys! I found them and Leader's making his move on Deidara!" Hidan yowled, mouth agape at said men. Kumori looked over the branch to see that in their struggles, Leader had somehow ended up inside the log trap with Deidara, and was positioned with his hands on Deidara's wrists, which were above the blond's head; his knees were pinning down the blonds. Faces inches apart, the two struggled to correct their awkward position, only succeeding in having Leader's knee in Deidara's crotch. More awkwardness.
At that moment, the rest of the Akatsuki walked into the clearing. They took one look Hidan's face. (Mouth open, laughing eyes wide open, completely disbelieving) Before looking at Leader, Deidara, and their little problem.
"Wow." Kisame gaped.
"I need a camera." Konan agreed.
"You couldn't pay for a better show." Kakuzu commented.
"I didn't know Leader swung that way. I'm that surprised about Deidara though. Who would have thought Leader was interested in him? It's rather disturbing really. I think it's kinda sweet. Are you serious! Yea, why? ….I don't know you, I swear. Your attached to me idiot. Shut up, watch the show." Zetsu conversed with himself.
"That's…unexpected." Itachi muttered.
"Stupid brat." Sasori growled. Tobi just stood there; mouth wide open behind his mask wondering what had gotten into Leader and his senpei.
"SHUT UP IDIOTS! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT NOW GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Leader howled. Deidara attempted to wriggle free again, blushing furiously.
"Ah! Quit moving Dei-"Leader was silenced when his hands slipped, and slid out. Not having anything to support him, his face crashed into Deidara's.
Leader was kissing Deidara.
Immediately, Deidara stiffened, becoming still as a statue in shock; eye wide in disbelief. Leader, whose brain hadn't registered just what his lips were pressed against, blinked. Why was Deidara's faces that close? Why was he so red? Why were his lips warmer than usual…?
Finally realizing what was happening, Leader jerked back, his face becoming as red as the clouds embroidering his cloak. Refusing to look at Deidara, he turned his head the other way, glaring with all his might (and embarrassment) at the 'innocent' log wall that had caused the whole problem.
The Akatsuki were speechless. For once, nobody had anything to say. Their entire trains of thought had gone over a cliff.
Several awkward minutes passed, no one said a thing. Kumori just sat up in the tree, in awe at what she caused, while at the same time becoming scared shit-less for what was going to happen to her.
"I…err….um….someone get us out of here." Leader stuttered; face still Akatsuki-cloud red. Deidara was in no better shape, his mouth still open slightly in shock, seafoam eye wide and turning red from not blinking. Even his palm-mouths were still.
Stiffly, Konan and Itachi managed to walk over to the unfortunate souls inside of the log trap. Konan reached down into the crevasse, grabbed Leader around the waist, and lifted his thin, but powerful frame. Shakily, he stood straight, trying to shove what had happened out of his head.
Following suit, Itachi lifted Deidara out as well.
"Um…err…uh…where….uh…where is Kumori?" Kisame finished lamely, trying to cut through the suffocating mood. Deidara looked up into the trees.
"Somewhere up there swapping blood with a bird un."
"Oh I see- wwhhaat?!"
"What do you mean brat?" Sasori echoed. Deidara turned to look at the puppet.
"Danna…what's on your face un?"
"What are you talking about brat?" He snapped, raising one wooden hand up to his puppet's face. Pulling away, he saw a dark red liquid glisten in the sun's rays.
"Blood…?" looking up, he saw a mass a red and white hair.
"Oh."
"Kumori, come down here." Leader commanded weakly. Blinking, Kumori took the bird off her shoulder, raised her hand up for it to fly off, but was surprised when it clutched to her finger.
"What?" She whistled to the bird.
"You didn't heal your wrist." The bird pointed out. Kumori looked at her wrist, finding it was true.
"Oh. Well, I'll get that; you should get out of here though." The bird shook its head.
"No, I want to stay with you?" The bird questioned with a statement.
"Huh? Why?" Kumori whistled surprised.
"Because I don't have anywhere else to go, and I'm sick of being hunted all the time."
"Well, uh…sure. But I do go on missions."
"I'll come, I could help you gather information, or get things that would be to risky for one of you to get." Kumori was taken aback.
"You're a really smart bird, you know that?"
"Sure do." Kumori laughed, inviting the bird back onto her shoulder. It gladly hopped on. Then, Kumori jumped down from her perch, joining the rest on the ground.
"Heal your wrist, we're going to eat lunch, and then we'll test your ninjutsu." Kumori nodded, placed a hand over the cut, and healed it.
"So Kumori, why were you sharing blood with a bird?" Kakuzu questioned. Kumori explained to the group why as they started to walk towards home.
"Oh, ok then. Why is it still with you then?"
"It wants to stay with me. I don't mind, so yea."
"Oh, well I'm not buying anything for it."
"Don't worry; this bird is to smart for it's on good. It will still hunt outside for food, and I'll teach it where to and not to use the bathroom. I'll also teach it how to speak Japanese so that it can collect information for us."
"It can learn that?!"
"Yea."
"So un, is it a boy or girl? What are you going to name it?" Deidara asked joining the conversation.
"Um…I don't know, let me ask."
"Why do you have to fucking ask? Can't you just see if the bastards got a dick or something?"
"Because Hidan, with birds, the only way to tell is by a blood sample. Or if you ask." Kumori sighed. Kumori then whistled to the bird, who whistled back, and they had their short whistle conversation.
"She's a girl; she said she didn't have a name, so I'll have to think of one."
"See if she has any ideas. It's her name anyway." Kisame said, taking Kakuzu's place, seeing as he was now bickering with Hidan over do-knows-what.
Once again, the kunoichi and her bird whistled back and forth in a strange musical conversation.
"She says she would like a name that would fit into something silent."
"Oh, never mind then."
"What were you thinking of un?"
"Well, I was going to suggest Isidar Mithrim."
"What the hell is an Isidar Mithrim un?"
"In an ancient language it means Star Rose." Kisame replied.
"I like that name," Kumori cut in," Let me see if she does."
Kisame and Deidara waited patiently for Kumori and the possibly named bird to finish their conversation.
"She says she likes the name. Congratulations Kisame, you just named my bird." Kisame flashed a sharp-toothed grin.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Kumori and Hidan once again stood on opposite sides of the sparring field. Their awkward lunch finally having ended. Deidara was currently in his room trying to get as far away from the foul-mouthed silver haired Jashinest. Hidan was not letting Leader and the blond forget the incident from the forest. Or at least the blond. He'd left Leader alone ever since Leader decapitated him.
"Dedashi!"
Instead of immediately charging like before, Kumori jumped away into the trees. Hidan gripped his scythe, sliding into his defensive position.
In the trees, Kumori placed a silencing jutsu around her. Not your usual battle jutsu, but the Jashinest knew to listen for bones breaking. This way, she could morph in secrecy.
"Hmmm….an animal for stealth, but dangerous too…." Kumori smirked. "I know exactly what to be."
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Where is the bitch? She isn't morphing... I don't hear bones breaking. She jumped up into the trees, but must have long ago moved from her original place, what kind of ninja would stay in one place? A damned one.
The Magenta eyed man sighed.
I hate waiting. Shit, now I sound like that fucking puppet. That's just fucking great.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Good, he hasn't noticed me yet. Haha, I wonder how he'll react when a mole comes out of the ground and bites his foot. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't bite his foot that might taste bad. Calf, I'll bite his calf.
The red and white mole shoved another chunk of dirt out of her way with a powerful forepaw. She was almost there, just another couple of feet….
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
What is Kumori going to do?
Leader turned his ringed gaze to Itachi.
"Activate your Sharingan; do you see Kumori's chakra?" The onyx-eyed man activated his Sharingan, his eyes now crimson. He did a once through the trees.
What the…? Where is she? She jumped into the trees, so…unless….
Itachi looked at the clearing, a small mass of blue, green, yellow, red, purple, black, and gray chakra swirled, making a beeline for the unsuspecting man in the center.
"I see her. Just watch." He told the Leader in his monotone voice. Leader however, managed to see a faint smirk grace the weasel's face.
What is going on…?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
A breeze blew through the clearing; Hidan's slicked back hair not budging, the gel holding it in place. A bird twittered, before becoming silent.
The hell?! Didn't that happen this morning?!
Hidan's short attention span caused him to not notice the earth next to his foot up heave, and revealing an off-colored mole. Said mole opened it jaws, closing the small, but sharp teeth into Hidan's leg. Hissing, Hidan jumped away looking down at his attacker.
"The hell?!" The mole's form suddenly jerked and ripped, until a few seconds later, Kumori stood there; kunai in hand, and smiling, small drips of blood on her teeth.
"Surprise." Kumori then leapt forward and swung her kunai at his chest. Hidan jumped back, but was surprised to find his chest split open, even though it was several millimeters away from the tip.
"I put some wind based chakra into it. This kunai reacts to the type of element your chakra responds too. The ideal weapon for me, seeing as I have all the wind types. Thanks to my multi blood that is." She answered his unspoken question.
"How the hell did you get chakra from animals?!"
"All living things have chakra. Therefore, animals have chakra types as well. I absorb them when I get their blood." She shrugged. Flinging an electric charged shuriken at him. Not expecting the move, Hidan was unable to move, and had a nice sting in his thigh, and stomach, before the electrical charges surged throughout his system.
With a roar, Hidan lunged forward, swinging his scythe. Kumori being to close, had the wonderful pleasure of feeling three blades rip into her hip, stomach, and rip cage, narrowly missing her heart. Screaming in pain, she sent a wild surge of electrical electricity up the scythe, causing Hidan to let go off it.
Lights flashed infront of her eyes as she pulled the wretched weapon out of her side.
"Damnit." Her voice was raspy, and pain filled. Thinking fast, she flung her hands though a series of seals.
No use in healing myself, I'll pass out before I do any good. Have to finish this quick; I sure hope Hidan really is immortal.
Finished, she put her hands around her. Ignoring the searing white-hot pain that was easily nauseating her, she swung one arm in a wide arc infront of her. A huge wind blade flying at the unfortunate Jashinest. The blade ripped through is stomach, causing a deep gash that almost went all the way through. Leader didn't doubt it would if she wasn't injured as she was.
Next, she swung her other arm in the same fashion, only a water blade formed this time, forming an 'x' over the wind blades wound. Afterwards, she stuck one fist out infront of her. A whip of earth rising from the ground, wrapping Hidan in the rock cocoon. Opening her fist, giant spikes erupted from the rope, impaling Hidan in dozens of areas. Finally, the rock crumbled away, revealing the swiss-cheese body.
"Holy shit…" Kisame muttered.
The jutsu however, was not over yet.
Taking her arm that had not just controlled the earth; she raised it to the heavens, before jerking it down. A spear of lighting following from the cloudless sky.
Kisame, Leader, Kakuzu, Itachi, and Sasori all had to raise their arms to cover their faces, the flash being to bright, and the overwhelming heat from the bolt singing their cloaks. (the others hadn't come back out to watch the spar)
Once the air had cleared, they looked up to see Hidan's skinless, swiss-cheese, 'x'd body, and were defiantly thanking whatever god was out there that they were not in Hidan's melted shoe.
Bringing up the final, Kumori placed to fingers up to her lips, whimpering when she tried to take a breath, before blowing out the minimal air her lungs allowed. Though the small breath still made a stream of lava erupt from her lips, enveloping Hidan's already mauled body.
Hidan, who had already long ago fell unconscious, fell onto his face. Kumori, following suit.
Silence passed through the Akatsuki as they stared at the damage Kumori did to Hidan.
"Damn…. That's gotta hurt." Kakuzu said.
"Thanks for pointing that out Captain Oblivious." Kisame laughed. Kakuzu sent him a glare, before walking over to Kumori. Using his tentacles, he sealed her side together, before picking her up, and giving her body to Tobi.
"Take her to Konan; tell her to put her on her bed." Nodding, Tobi gently shifted Kumori into a bridal style position, before taking off.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
"Damn un, Hidan did that to her?" Deidara said, looking up from his sculpture.
"Deidara-senpei should see Hidan-kun." Tobi said, struggling not to hurt the woman in her arms.
"Where's Konan?"
"She went out un, why?"
"Tobi's supposed to put Kumori-chan in Kumori-chan's bed."
"Oh un….Well, you can set her on mine. I'll be in here for awhile."
"Thank you Deidara-senpei!" Said blond had already stood up, and was walking towards the door that led to the hallway.
"Un."
The two walked past Itachi and Kisame's room, Hidan and Kakuzu's room, before Deidara put his hand on the door to his room, pumping a sliver of chakra into it. The door clicked open, revealing a room that very much resembled the opposite of what Tobi would think Sasori would have his room arranged as.
The beds were made, but that was the only thing clean. All across the room, unfinished sculptures, and random hunks of clay sat on the nightstand, dresser, and bookshelves on Deidara's half. Pants, T-shirts, underwear (boxers), and socks added to the litter strewn across the floor. Sasori's side of the room wasn't much better, only instead of clay; there were pieces of wood, and random puppet pieces that took the place of the clay. Thankfully, however, the bookshelves were organized with various poisons and their antidotes. (At least those were organized)
Tobi, completely used to this, seeing as he's in here a lot when he follows in senpei everywhere, was able to step skillfully around the clothes/clay and set the now not bleeding Kumori on the bomb-artist's bed.
Deidara looked at her condition, before turning to Tobi again.
"You said Hidan was worse un?" Tobi nodded.
"Yep. If Deidara-senpei went outside Deidara would see what Tobi means." Curiosity getting the better of him, Deidara went to do just that.
"Stay here, watch her, and DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING…un." The peppy Akatsuki member nodded, before sitting beside Kumori.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Jeez un, Tobi wasn't kidding. What did Kumori doto him?" The bomb-artist questioned eyes wide at the destroyed body of Hidan.
"An awesome fricken jutsu." Was all Kisame had to say; jerking his thumb at the direction of the sparring field? Deidara's eyes widened as they took in the charred/electrified/soaked/spike-ish/marred earth.
"U-un…."
"Did Tobi get Kumori to her bed?" Leader asked putting Deidara under his ringed gaze. Said blond shook his head.
"No un, Konan went out, so we couldn't get the door open. She's on my bed right now un." Leader nodded.
"Done." With that simple statement, Kakuzu picked up his now mummified partner and made his way for the house. Itachi glanced at Kisame for a second, before heading for his room to. Leader looked back at the destruction, before following as well.
"I'm going to make sure that idiot hasn't messed with any of my poisons or puppets." Sasori growled from within his fat puppet. Deidara just followed his partner.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Leader sat at the desk in his room, filling out papers on Kumori's abilities, making her own folder, etc.
Currently, he was placing a memory jutsu of Kumori's forbidden-level jutsu. He preferred placing memory seals onto documents, other than writing it all out. That was too much to write. Besides, this way you cannot confuse something, because it's a memory of what occurred. Not a copy of a memory.
A few minutes later, the paper containing her profile was finished, and he added it to the folder of Akatsuki replacements. She would already be apart of the Akatsuki, if it wasn't for the lacking of rings.
The rings were actually very important, for they contained the sane spirit of each biju. Unlike how many believe, the Akatsuki were not out to control the biju…anymore. During his battle with the leader of a rival organization, Leader had realized what a fool he'd been. Upon realizing, he had no idea what to do with the biju now, the sane spirits of said biju entered the rings.
"Pein"
The pierced man looked around, wondering who had just said his name.
""The ring." Blinking, he looked at the ring on his right thumb.
"A-Are you TALKING?" Leader asked incredulously.
"Yes…well…no. I'm the spirit of the Hachibi. Yamata no Orochi."
"I thought you were still sealed in a jinchuuriki!?"
"My insane self is."
"….?" Leader was VERY confused. The Hachibi SHOULD still be sealed away. Not only that, but why was this 'sane' half in his ring. Leader couldn't help but wonder if he'd finally lost it. Sensing the Leader's train of thought, the Hachibi sighed.
"Whenever a biju is sealed into a human or anything really, only the insane half goes there. Mainly because usually we do not need to be sealed because we are normal. However if something traumatizing comes along, then the insane half becomes dominant, and reeks destruction. With you finally deciding not to use us, we were able to manifest our sane selves into an article of clothing. Your rings. The other members are all experiencing this same experience, only with different biju."
"Um…ok?"
"Basically, we need you to continue gathering us all up, and find a jutsu to reunite our sane halves with our insane halves." Leader blinked, processing the information. He called a meeting for the Akatsuki to decide….and make sense of this conversation.
Now here he was, constantly searching for the jutsu in one of the ancient scrolls in one of the countries of this fricken planet. Not having found it yet, they always had to keep ears out for any clues. The Biju in the rings usually never talked, but sometimes they did. Usually right before the wearer went to bed, if they were new. That is usually the first time they talk to you. They seem to love to give them a heart attack…..
Leader shook his head, pulling himself out of his memories. He needed to focus on the task at hand.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Kumori needed new non-bloody clothes, and was still on Deidara's bed, seeing as she was still out of it.
Deidara needed a bed, and Konan was nowhere to be found. She wasn't responding to any mind-messages either.
"Well what should I do un!?" Deidara yelled at Sasori. He was stressed out over his friend, tired, and all around not doing any good for the puppet master's thin nerves.
"I don't know brat!"
"Danna! Help me!"
"How?!" This conversation continued for awhile until finally Sasori was able to come up with solution…..and hit Deidara with a glob of clay.
"Why don't you make room on the floor, let her wear some of your clothes, and get Konan in the morning!" Deidara thought this over, and realized that this was the best plan of action. However there was just one problem.
"Who's going to change her though un……." Deidara trailed off, his face turning a light shade of pink at the thought. Sasori, deciding to get payback for the blond's idiotic-ness before, smirked.
"I'll leave that to you." With that, he shushined out of there to who knows where.
Deidara, was now faced with a serious problem.
What the hell! Danna why couldn't you have just stayed here! You make puppets all the time out of humans, why couldn't YOU do this! You bastard. Now I have to….. aahhh WHY! Why damnit why!
Blushing furiously at just the thought of it, Deidara raged a war within his mind.
If I do this, then no doubt Kumori will be pissed at me later, and I really don't want to be at the receiving end of her punch again! Then again, if I don't the blood will set into the matrice, and Kakuzu will murder me over cost of a new matrice.. GOD DAMNIT!!
Finally deciding to suck it up, Deidara walked over towards his dresser. He pulled out a T-Shirt, and a pair of pants. Taking a shaky breath, he walked over towards his bed.
His hands shaking, he lifted Kumori's torso forward, and began to pull the tank-top off. Blushing ferociously, he couldn't help but notice that Kumori was wearing a black lace bra with multi-colored dots decorating it….And that she was quite developed. Of course, he also noticed how you could trace every vein in her body, and that she looked anorexic. Of course, she probably didn't get much nutrition off of soldier pills to live…
Pulling her fishnet over her, he quickly, but gently pulled his t-shirt on. His blush deepening, he went to pull away her capris. Deidara noticed how his breathing was becoming faint, and his head was swimming. This was not good for his nerves. He was NOT good with women. He really didn't have any experience since women always ran after they saw his hands. Not only that, but there wasn't really a lot of contact with women in the Akatsuki. And it was obvious to everyone except said two that Konan and Leader liked each other. Although neither would admit it….
Shaking his head, Deidara focused on what he was doing, he wanted this over and done with….NOW!
He gently wiggled Kumori from her bottoms, and just as quickly, although a little hastily replaced them with his own. Although he did notice that the veins, and anorexic-ness still remained. Why was she so pale? Was it because of the no-real-food diet? (A/N Remember, only Hidan knows)
Sighing, he kicked some junk out of the way, and laid down an extra blanket from the closet for padding. Then changing into PJs, removing his scope, and letting his hair down, along with a quick brush, and brushing his teeth, mouth, and palm mouths, he laid for sleep.

Ok, just so you all know, this IS set before the shippuden, so none of the dieing members has occurred. My actions will be explained in later chapters. And while I have read the 400 released chapters, I will not follow the storyline completely. Otherwise, my story just would not work and I will not adjust my plot do to things revealed. Therefore, Itachi's reasoning behind the Uchiha massacre will be different from the actual.
I feel like this chapter was both important….and filler at the same time. o.O is that possible…? Oh well, IT'S REALLY FREAKING LONG WOO! 5,812 words, hell yeah!
I know I haven't update in forever! (A month and four days!!) And I'm sorry! Honestly, I was just lazy!! Although my occurrence with falling down the stairs and cracking my skull three inches may have something to do with it…..I'm ok know though, although I have to say, waking from unconsciousness is NOT fun, I do not recommend it. To be honest though I'm surprised something like this didn't happen earlier. It has been medically proven now that the thing in my ears that helps keep your balance is unbalanced. (I don't remember the name) THIS is why I have fallen down the stairs literally everyday for about a year. . (I think it starts with an 'e'…)
ANYWAY!! I'm sorry for not updating sooner, this chapter was kinda hard to write too…..can I seriously get some feedback on my fighting scenes? I KNOW they could use improving, and does this story flow well? If not, any pointers, I seriously want to get better here!
