cheeky half-demon: …Awesome bad guys? Isn't that an oxymoron? XD I'm glad you like it so much!! Thanks for the help about Chik-Fil-A too. Nom, nom, nom.
theoretical indecisive-ness: Yeah…what do you expect from Kumori-baka? XD Don't worry, you'll find out who the leader of the Others is soon. And nah… Kakuzu is a good guy. I dunno if I'm going to keep him that though~

"Ahhh you finally got your cast off," Sakura says glancing down at my leg.
"I know, right?" I grin. "It's been forever! I can dance again!" I add striking a dramatic pose.
"Y-You never da-danced before," Hinata says pressing her index fingers together as we walk down the hall.
"How do you know I don't dance around in my underwear singing into my hairbrush and have not been able to do so because of this d*mn cast?"
"You told us once," Sakura deadpans slightly. "You said you wouldn't be caught dead dancing around in your underwear singing into your hairbrush because it looked so stupid,"
"Yeah well…Ni!" There's a laugh from behind me.
"We are the knights who say Ni!" Naruto says running to catch up to us.
"We should seriously form a club," I say with a straight face. "We'd be the coolest people in school,"
"Already are," Naruto says with an arrogant sniff. Sakura laughs.
"Oh yeah, we're the coolest!"
"A-And even I-Ino-chan is j-jealous," Hinata says offering us a shy smile before she turns bright red and looks down, seeing as Naruto glanced at her.
"That's right Hina-chan!" He says putting an arm around the girl. "Way jealous!" She promptly faints.
"Must have been the nickname," I say nodding. "Poor thing,"
"Better take her to the nurse," Sakura says as the blond boy picks her up and walks down toward the front office. "You going over to the library again?"
"Yeah,"
"You've been going there a lot…"
"Duh, that's where Ryuu picks me up after her gets off work," I say rolling my eyes. "I told you that,"
"I saw you there with a guy once," She says seriously.
"…So? That's just Kakuzu. He's a senior and he-"
"OHMYKAMI HE'S A SENIOR?!"
"Yeah, he's been helping me with my homework,"
"Are you dating?" She asks in a hushed tone.
"Um, no," I say flatly. "We're not even friends, he helps me with my homework and I buy him food," The two of us had come up with that payment technique.
"You're secretly dating?" She looks hopeful.
"NO!" She sighs and slumps.
"Fine, don't tell me about your secret relationship with the hot senior," I hit my forehead and curse loudly. "That's not very lady-like language." She says with a disapproving frown.
"Text me later," I say tiredly as I start off toward the library, buying a soda and bag of chips on the way. I take a seat at my usual table and open the bag, taking a chip as I get my homework out.
"You're early," Kakuzu says taking a seat across from me. I nod and slide the bag across from him. He grunts acknowledgement and takes a chip, biting into it with what could have been mistaken as happiness.
"Got my cast off so I don't have to limp everywhere,"
"About time,"
"I know," I pull out my work and start it, my would-be tutor watching my progress over my shoulder.
"You're getting better," He says looking over my math homework.
"Thanks" I say with a small smile. "My head hurts from being so smart." He deadpans slightly.
"Go take a breather outside," He suggests pulling out the rest of finished homework to make sure I did it right. I nod and go outside, laying down on a bench and closing my eyes. The sun is shining gently, just before the sun has started to set. I put my elbow over my eyes and breathe in deeply. It's a strangely warm day despite it being October.
"So pretty out~" I murmur yawning a little. After a few minutes of dozing, I hear footsteps. I brush it off as nothing and yawn again as the person comes closer. The steps stop in front of me. I pull my arm off my eyes and blink a few times to help my eyes adjust to the sudden light. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, actually," A voice purrs. I look to the owner of the voice and see a white (seriously it's white!) haired main with glasses over his eyes. "I was wondering if you knew Mitsukai Kumori," If that's any indication of him being a creeper, I don't see it.
"Yeah, that's me. Why?" I look at him scrutinizing for a second. "Are you British?" He chuckles.
"My master wants to see you and no I'm not British," He says pushing his glasses up. "He requests that you meet with him right now," His hand reaches towards my arm.
"Touch her and I'll break your hand off," A voice growls from the doorway. He pushes his glasses up again and smiles.
"Ah, Kakuzu-kun, it's been too long," He says taking a step back.
"Not long enough, a$$hole," Kakuzu snarls and steps between me and the newcomer.
"I'm hurt, Kakuzu-kun, I do have a name," He says with a feigned hurt expression.
"A$$hole seems to fit you better," He says in the same tone. "Get the hell away from her, Kabuto."
"I'm sorry to say I can't," Kabuto smirks. "My master has requested her presence and I have every intention of bringing her to him,"
"How about you give your master a little present from mine?" He asks punching him squarely in the jaw, sending him flying. "Are you alright?" He adds turning back to me.
"I-I'm fine," I say getting up off the bench. "Who was that?"
"Kabuto," He says shortly. "Back inside, now," I look over my shoulder as he all but drags me back into the library. The silver-haired man is nowhere in sight.
"I'm sorry sir," Kabuto says bowing his head as he kneels in front of the man he called his master. "I failed, Kakuzu-kun was with her," A chuckle rings out.
"I know, I knew that would happen," His master says with a smile gracing his lips. "I just sent you to scare her. She knows we're here. She knows we're after her, and that's good enough for now."
"For now?" He chuckles again.
"Yes, for now,"
