Wow, I actually found time to write! O.O Well anyway, I have a question that I need answers for! Do you guys prefer the longer wait, with the longer chapter, or the shorter wait for the shorter chapter? My long chapters are usually over 4,000 words. On my shorter chapters, I'll probably make the 2,000 words or so. I NEED YOUR OPINIONS!!
AND, I want to say thank you to many for reviewing (LURVE you guyz) and for those who read my author notes no matter how pointless or retarded they seem/are. So thank you for the 'un'ing!
This is gonna be one of the shorter chapters, so you can get the idea.
Once again, Kakuzu and Hidan were riding on Kumori, although this time Hidan was in front of the giant mass of that was Kakuzu. Said man had his arm wrapped around the Jashinest's waist, and he wasn't complaining or even blushing. Kumori secretly wondered if there was something between them. Sure, she'd been locked in a torturing cage for a long time, and before that a solitary rock room for a month, but all the time before that was spent with the other test subjects. The older women and men acted as mother and fathers to the young. Due to Kumori constantly not doing what the Hebi-teme wanted, she was punished more than others. Receiving beatings, isolation, having to watch as one of her few friends was destroyed by the curses. (Normally they took they took away the person from the rest, but NO they dragged Kumori with too, so really only she is the living survivor that knows what happens other than the white coats.)
Because of this, she saw love, family, happiness, joy, and moments of pure bliss that were each cherished deeply. Nevertheless, of course there was also agony, anger, depression, and even suicide.
Because she'd seen all this, she wasn't as socially awkward as she could be. And she somewhat understood how people could love one another, so yes, she had her suspicions for the duo to be a couple, but she'd just have to continue observing.
"Return human, Kumori." Came Kakuzu's voice through the silence. "We're about a kilometer from the village, time to set up disguises." Kumori came to a halt, and the shinobi slid off her back, afterwards she melted human.
"Ok, we should probably all have fake identities, and disguises." The stitched man continued.
"Names we can do, but what about disguises?" Hidan questioned.
"I can alter my illusion, and set one on you two." Kumori tossed in. Kakuzu nodded.
"Very well, I will be Yataka Yukio."
"I'll be Sagatoshi…Zen" Came Hidan.
"Mika Akako" Kumori chirped, before performing a seal. She took a shaky breath, and closed her eyes tight.
"Kai." Once again her genjutsu dissolved from her form, the seals tattooing her body, evidence of the torture and pain she went through. Without opening her eyes, she performed another set of seals.
"Illusionary Jutsu: Partial Shadow Coverage" She mumbled under her breath. Her hair became short and choppy, flaring out at the ends, but it remained its unique red and white colors. Her eyes became a little larger, the iris stayed red. She wore a black, low-cut belly shirt with long sleeves, although one sleeve was white. A pair of black cargo pants rolled up to her shins, with high-heeled boots to match. She still was short, pale, and built like a toothpick.
Kakuzu had dark brown hair going to his shoulders, his eyes an emerald green. On his square, but strong jaw was a thin, light brown scar. He had a beat up looking leather jacket over a tight fitting black shirt. A simple pair of baggy blue jeans, and some tennis shoes as well. He still kept his large bulky figure. He figured that the illusion didn't affect your body itself, and if so, it was only a very minor change. He looked over at Hidan, and his thoughts were confirmed.
The Jashinest was still medium height, and somewhere between skinny and bulky. His silver hair wasn't even an inch long, and spiked. A black shirt with random red spots splashed on, looking similar to blood, and baggy black pants with a chain or two covered him. His Jashinism necklace glinting proudly in the sun as his purple eyes took in Kakuzu's form.
"You guys like your appearances? I made us look like civilians so we could get in a little easier." Kakuzu nodded.
"Yep." Came Hidan's simple reply as he gave a short prayer to his god, bringing up the upside down triangle in the circle to his lips. Kakuzu rolled his eyes, before walking towards the village. Kumori glanced at Hidan, before following.
"Hey you idiots, wait up!" Hidan barked once he finally opened his eyes, seeing that the duo had left him far behind. He broke into a sprint to catch up.
...
(Just to help not confuse you, or me I'm going to refer to them by their fake identities now)
"Names?"
"Mika Akako."
"Yataka Yukio."
"Sagatoshi Zen."
"Business?"
"Visiting friends."
"Passes?" Akako handed him three cards with her illusion to be passes. His eyes barely flickered over them before he handed them back.
"Everything seems to be in check, enjoy your stay." His voice was bored, uncaring, and he obviously was running through the basic drills.
The three unidentifiable Akatsukians walked smoothly passed the guards, and into the village hidden in the rocks.
The buildings all seemed to be carved of rock, the bottoms literally melded into the ground. Some buildings were a bland gray, while others were black, white, brown, multi colored, etc. Squares were carved out of the rocky walls and glass panes wedged in. People crowded the dirt streets, bustling to get the days chores over with. Beggars sat against buildings, and children ran around laughing. A typical city.
"Lets find a hotel and stick around for about two days, then get this over with." Yukio mumbled, just loud enough for his companions to hear.
"Why wait two days?" Zen argued back, just as quiet.
"Because you moron, if we do it tonight and then leave, suspicions will arise. This will keep secrecy." The over-sized man replied, his tone implying he was talking to a five- year- old.
"Shut up!" Came the irked reply. Akako rolled her crimson orbs before searching for a hotel. When they turned around a corner, Yukio and Zen still bickering, when a wonderful smell hit Akako in the face. Blinking, she sniffed, following the delicious aroma to stand. Looking up, she saw a bright red sign with writing across, announcing the food sold.
"Dango!"
"Um…Zen…Yukio…what's Dango?" the undercover kunoichi asked. Requested men, looked at her, before taking in the stand.
"It's the weasel's favorite snack." Zen said, and Akako figured he was talking about Itachi. "It's basically sugared rice balls on a stick. Sometimes they have flavoring." Yukio eyed the pale woman as her eyes took in the stand, her nose twitching. He figured her senses were driving her nuts with the delectable smells.
"You're paying with your own money." He warned. Akako gave him a look that said 'duh' before walking in and ordering.
"Do you always have to be such a money grubber?" Zen chuckled. Yukio smoothly replied with.
"If I didn't, you'd waste it all and weapons and beer with Shark, Weasel with Akako would buy Dango, the puppet and sculptor, AND Akako on art stuff, Flower and…Cloud on origami and piercing, Venus-Fly-Trap and Cinnamon Face on Plants and candy…Yea I do need to be money grubbing." he shivered at the thought of all the money going to such waste! All that wonderful green disappearing. Yes, he needed to be a greedy bastard.
Zen rolled his eyes and laughed. Oh, how it was true.
"Mmm…" Akako hummed in delight as she chewed a rice ball.
"I -swallow- don't blame -bite- Weasel." Zen looked over at Yukio, his eyes smiling.
"No, for you see Akako and Weasel would steal all of it and buy Dango." Yukio chuckled, Akako looked between the two to try to figure what was going on. Ashru, who cares, this ball of heaven was much more important….
She'd come back later for more.
...
"You realize I'm not paying for this right?" Yukio growled. Zen complained he wanted a hot tub, but not one from one of the cheaper hotels. Those were to dirty and who knows what horny teenagers did in them! Akako had a hunch that he was just annoying him. She decided to go along with Zen, just for the sake of entertainment.
"You know, I think I know what to do." two pairs of eyes turned on her. "What do all men fall for?" Slowly, two big grins spread on faces. Akako ruffled her hair, pinched her cheeks under eyes so they'd flush, unzipped the belly shirt half way, and tugged her pants down to a dangerously low level. Biting her lips to make them turn red and swell slightly, she turned back to her comrades.
"Now, let's hope he's straight." The three walked in. Yukio headed to the bathroom, Zen went and sat on the pillow infested leather couch in front of the giant LCD TV. Akako walked up to the desk, leaning on her elbows, and giving poor man a good look, but left enough hidden to make him interested. Very interested apparently, when he talked, he talked to her boobs.
"U-um, welcome, how may I help you?" He forced himself to look at her face, and immediately regretted it. She had big, watery eyes with a puppy dog pout. Her face red from the pinches and bites oh so seductively pleading. Akako noticed he had messy hair like Sasori, only brown. His eyes were gray like Leader's, although they looked more mischievous like Deidara's.
"Yes, you sure can." Her voice was sweet and seductive. Zen chuckled over in his corner. This man was toast.
"You see-" Her glittering eyes wandered over to her comrades. On a spur of the moment thought, she decided she'd have a little fun. "-My friends are getting married tomorrow-" Zen gagged on his spit, while Yukio turned away. A growl so faint that only Akako could have picked it up. "-And we need a nice hotel for them to stay in." She looked away as if ashamed.
"A man attacked me and took all our money…and the bank is already closed." She looked up leaning forward just a little more. The man's eyes shot down. Akako frowned in her mind. Pervert, all you have to do is flash some boobs and you get whatever you want.
Ah, she wasn't complaining or anything about that…but are men that simpleminded. The answer, yes.
"Well, I can probably pull a few strings." He was still talking to her boobs. "And tell them congratulations for me. It's a shame though, how long are you in town?" Akako grinned inwardly. Only two words running through her head-
Free. Dango.
"We'll be here for two more days, and leave the third. Although," she pattered her eyelashes and looked sheepish. Lowering her voice as if though she didn't want the others to hear she said. "The wedding isn't till later tomorrow. We could hang out for a couple hours…." the man's eyes lit up with hope. Zen blushed and Yukiko went to the bathroom.
"Ok, what time should I pick you up?" He had lowered his voice too, and Akako couldn't help but giggle. "Meet me at the coffee shop on Limestone Ave. next to the Dango stand ok?" the man nodded with a grin. Then he pulled back and acted all business.
"Welcome to the Iwa Getaway, my name is Kagi, how may I help you?" Akako grinned in a sexy way. "May I have one room with two beds?" "Yes you may. What are your names?" "Mika Akako, Yataka Yukio, and Zen Sagatoshi." Alright, I'll take care of the rest." Kagi winked, before filling out his money information to pay. "You're too kind." Akako giggled flirtatiously, grabbing the room key. He mouthed his number was in the receipt, and Akako nodded showing she understood.
"Bye, see you later." Akako sent a wink before heading off with her comrades to their room.
...
(They're alone now so back to usual names)
"HAHA Oh my JASHIN you wrapped that poor boy around your finger!" Hidan was howling with laughter. Kumori's show had him begging for air, but unable to get any. Kakuzu was laughing too, just not as hard. Kumori was blushing and laughing. She'd already de-hoed herself, and was rather proud of her first seduce-a-man-to-get-what-you-want act.
"Yep, and tomorrow I'm gonna get me some free Dango!" She cackled. Hidan shook his head, but laughed some more. Kakuzu only chuckled, but had to hold his hand over his mouth.
After a few more minutes of laughing, the trio went to bed. Kakuzu and Hidan in one, Kumori in the other. After they'd turned out the light, Kumori release the jutsu, and Hidan made sure to note.
"We're gonna get you back for that too, Kumori." Said kunoichi giggled, before falling asleep.
That is what Dango is right? I was too lazy to double check so yea, correct me if I need it! Also…I didn't put an enter where everyone talked this time, was it easier, or harder to read? Did it make a difference? Also FYI Kakuzu and Hidan are still under debate of relationship for Kumori right now. Them sleeping together was only because they are both guys, Kumori is a girl. That sorta thing.
