Others Ch 5
Soooo about all the confusion from last chapter. Yes there is supposed to be a line there, I just didn't know the little squiggle I usually use doesn't show up on . It won't happen again, I promise! I'll use a different line indicator thing.
ShamanicNinja: Mostly the Morganville Vampire Series (starting with Glass House, amazing series!!!) but I did get Imprinting from Twilight, though. That's the only thing I kinda 'borrowed'.
theoretical indecisive-ness: Not at all but I'm pretty sure I get the gist of what you're trying to say! Yeah there is and it's supposed confusing. Someone's in love, but I'm not telling you who though. ;D It was just the Imprinting that I was inspired by. ^^"
SnowsShadow: I finished it a while ago and, looking back, I stole that to help make Protectors a little more 3D. I promise I won't, I don't really like Bella, she seems kinda Sue-ish. No offense to Bella-lovers though. I love Kuzu-kun too! It's supposed to be confusing, as I've said. Don't worry I'll clear that up in later chapters~
cheeky half-demon: You may be a moron, but you're MY moron! XD I did read it and thinking back, that kind of inspired it. You'll see who loves who later~
Okay, just incase you're like me and you skip over the review replies, here's what you've missed. Yes Twilight helped inspire me to write this along with the Morganville Vampire series, which started with Glass House. No Kumori isn't going to change into a Bella. Yes, there is supposed to be a line after the line "Trick question, that's unknown," He says wisely. I didn't know the squiggle I used as a divider didn't work and I apologize profusely. And yes, you're SUPPOSED to be confused about everything after the line. It'll clear up later. Thanks to art-is-a-bang for the alert and ShamanicNinja for the alert and favorite!
"Camping?" My eye twitches a little. "I hate camping."
"Which is EXACTLY why we need to take you!" Sakura's cheery voice comes from the other end of my cell.
"But I hate it!" I whine slumping onto the table, making Kakuzu raise his eyebrows. "Bugs, no hot water, no cell signal, no outlets, no microwave popcorn,"
"Microwave popcorn?" Both the rosette and my tutor ask at the same time.
"Best. Stuff. Eva. If someone was to kidnap me, I'd go quietly if they had microwave popcorn. Or the stuff from the movie theaters. That's just kick a$$ delicious,"
"Fine, I'll find a way to bring microwave popcorn," She sounds tired. I don't blame her. It's late.
"We'd better be able to cook it. You tricked me when we went white water rafting by bringing it then we had no way to cook it,"
"…" She sighs. "Am I really that see-through?"
"Just a little. Trick me once, shame on you. Trick me twice, shame on me. Trick me three times and I'll kick your-"
"Kumori," Kakuzu's tone holds a warning tone. "We've still got a lot of work to do."
"Five more minutes Daddy," I say putting my hand over the mouthpiece. "I'm almost done. I just have to make her feel a little bit guiltier." His eye twitches a little.
"Hurry the hell up" He growls.
"Yeah, yeah," I take my hand away. "Sorry Sakura, Kuzu's b*tching. Pick me up at ten?"
"Eight. Have fun with your secret boyfriend!"
"Too early and he's not my boyfriend!"
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. The dial tone buzzes angrily in my ear and I snap my phone shut.
"Who's not your boyfriend?"
"You," He chuckles.
"Nice, just because you're getting tutored by a senior automatically means you're dating,"
"I know," I close my eyes and put my thumbs over my pupils. "I hate rumors, I hate camping, and I hate Asuma's insanity homework."
"You should be happy, he's gotten better than from when I had him," I groan and slump over the table again, forehead on my wrists. He chuckles.
…line…line…line…line…
"C'mon Kumori, wake up! Your friends are going to be here any minute!"
"Nng,"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"KUMORI!"
"Nng!" She bursts in and whips the covers off.
"Up lazy bones," She says hitting the back of my leg gently. "If you don't hurry you won't get breakfast," I yawn and get up, pulling the t-shirt I wore to bed down as I walk to the bathroom. I glance in the mirror before I start getting ready for the camping trip.
Ding dong!
"Dammit,"
"Kumori! Your friends are here!" My mom calls up the stairs.
"Almost ready!" I yell back and throw the rest of my things into a duffle. I slid down the railing, throwing my bag at Naruto. He grabs it and laughs.
"Finally, I thought we were going to have to send Akamaru up to get you,"
"Oh shut up, I'm here now." I grumble pulling a huge sweatshirt on. "Bye Mom, tell Ryuu I said bye…I'll hopefully survive this trip,"
"I'll be thinking about you~"
"Gag me," Kiba says under his breath. I kick him in the shin.
"Can we go out for doughnuts at something on the way?" I ask as my mom waves a tearful goodbye. "I'm going to eat my own stomach,"
"That doesn't sound delicious," Naruto says doubtfully.
"D*mn straight it isn't. TO KRISPY KREAM!" We all pile in to Shino's huge-ish white van and drive to said doughnut store.
"Mmm, four hot doughnuts and a Mountain Dew, the breakfast of champions," Kiba says grinning.
"Or losers, take your pick," Sakura says grinning slightly.
"LOSERS!" I say throwing my hand in the air, whacking some random person in the face. "Oh sorry," I look to see who it is.
"It's no problem," He says smiling slightly before walking out with his box of pastries. Long black hair trails behind him and I pout.
"His hair is prettier than mine!" I wail stealing a bite out of Hinata's doughnut. She makes a small attempt at a protest but I take another big chomp out of it before she can get the words out.
…line…line…line…line…
"Are you going to be going with her?" His master asks and he nods.
"Of course. She won't see me but I'll be there if they try anything." A slight smile graces his face, but it's thrown off by his tired eyes. "She's been talking a lot in her sleep, about Others,"
"I don't remember you requesting permission to go into her room with her." His master's voice has turned icy.
"It's been raining," He shrugs gulping hard. "Even our kind gets sick," His eyes harden at the man.
"You should know better. You're going to start falling in love with her." He snorts and his master raises one eyebrow.
"I'm not going to fall in love with her. You know I do my job better than that," I'm already in love.
"You'd better go, she's going to be there soon and I've heard from the base stationed there that a few Others have been sighted. They're hungry too,"
…line…line…line…line…
"Here we are," Shino says putting the car in park. "Middle of nowhere, just like Sakura wanted,"
"Hey! I'm not the only one that wanted this!" She says as we clamber out of the car. "I'm just the one who came up with the idea!"
"Man, how troublesome," Shikamaru yawns shoving his hands into his pockets. "Doesn't look like there's anything around here for miles."
"I-It's re-really nice," Hinata whispers pushing her fingers together. "Untouched,"
"I'm with Hina-chan! This is amazing 'tebayo!" Naruto yells making all the birds around us fly away.
"Nice," I deadpan rubbing my forehead with a sleeve. This sweatshirt was Ryuu's before but I liked it so much I stole it. He doesn't care, though. It comes down to bellow my rear and the sleeves have a good couple inches on my hands. I love it, though. It's snuggly and smells good. "I hate it here already," A mosquito buzzes past and I flap my sleeve at it. "Stupid bugs"
"Hey!" Shino looks slightly offended.
"Oh, sorry. Mildly annoying bugs," He chuckles slightly, just a quick breath being let out. I'm pretty sure it's a chuckle though.
"Oh sh!t," Kiba says when he starts unpacking our stuff. "We didn't bring firewood,"
"I'll go get some," I say swatting at a stray bug. "Be right back,"
…line…line…line…line…
"She's walking off by herself," The Other says with a smirk planted on his pale lips. "This is so perfect. Master wants to talk to her and her friends look delicious," He licks his lips.
"Remember our orders," The girl Other says lightly. "We're only supposed to take her, make it so it looks like she ran away or something. Friends are off limits… for now,"
"Let's hurry the hell up, I'm starving." Another male inhales deeply. "So much blood, so little time,"
