Others Ch 9

Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I was working on Stupidity and I had a slight case of THE BLOCK! D: It went away and I just updated that. I'm home sick today so I'm hoping to get a lot of writing done!! Who knows if I'll stay home again tomorrow… Bleh I have no idea what the hell this is but it's decided it likes to make me feel horrible. You know what makes me feel better, though~? REVIEWS! XD

Likes to Smile: There's nothing good about a Monday unless you're not at hell-I mean school! We should just abolish Mondays all together. Heh… Yeah I can explain for that one. I guess I wanted to write "Tobi caught up!" but decided to write "Tobi found everyone!" in the middle of it then changed it back to "caught up". One helluva typo. o_O"

EdelHZ: Is that a threat? Ha-ha just kidding! I'll update if I keep getting amazing reviews!

XxRainbow-DarknessxX: YES! Hee-hee-hee I love Sirius Black. *sniffle* RIP! Yay for loving it! I had fun writing those, when my mom woke me up that morning I mumbled like that and kinda thought up the translations! WOO! . *sends a Venus fly trap* 8D It's my job to keep my reviewers happy!

SnowsShadow: *nod, nod* So true. All of those things are not good things. Stupid not good things. Kumori-baka just seems to get into so much trouble… One of these days… *hug* Of course Tobi's going to be okay! It is TEH POWA OF THE GOOD BOYS! I miss him too…he was so cool!

ShamanicNinja: *chibi tears* I like wowing people! Yep, yep! I'm sirius, my beta and I are always changing 'serious' to 'sirius' XD Just to get a laugh out of each other.

cheeky half-demon: Tobi IS a good boy! X3 Thank you soooo much~ I'm typing as fast as I can get the ideas for the story out!

Guess what guys~ I got my confetti cannon! *BOOM!* hee-hee-hee that's too much fun. If your name is underlined, in bold, and in italics you're first in line to try it out! Everyone who didn't guess can go too, but no shoving! This thing cost me a lot of reviews… *BOOM!* I love my new toy~

Thanks to EdelHZ for the alert!!

Voices are all around me, making my head spin. My neck is throbbing and my rear is freezing thanks to the cold metal chair I'm sitting on. My hands are bleeding from the handcuffs I'm wearing and my ankles are tied to the legs of the chair. And there's some sort of sock shoved in my mouth so I can't talk.

Oh yes lots of fun.

"She's waking up,"

"Finally, I was beginning to think she died,"

"Heh, Master wouldn't be happy if his new pet died," I struggle to open my eyes and I instantly regret doing it. The room is painfully bright. I flinch a little because of the brightness and because of the Others standing in front of me. I squeal and the chair gives up the ghost, flopping onto its back.

"Flinchy little thing isn't she?" The Other says kneeling by my head as I squirm. "I like her. I'm gonna name her…Maru-chan," My eye twitches.

"After the ramen?" His companion asks tentatively putting the chair back on all four of its legs.

"Exactly," He grins showing very pointy, very shiny teeth. His hair is dark brown the same color his eyes. He actually looks like he's showered in the last twenty years. His companion, on the other hand, is white-blond. His eyes are silvery and I doubt he has pupils. He puts his hand out and ruffles my hair. "Alright Maru-chan, I'm Nari and this is Santai. We're here to make sure you don't run away or die before Master can appraise you, okay?" His grin grows a little when he sees the blood rush from my face.

"Aww, you scared her," Santai says patting my head like I'm some sort of dog. My eye twitches and my glasses slip down my nose a little. Nari pushes them up for me and I mentally thank him.

"You're welcome," I scream and the chair capsizes again. The blond sighs and puts it back on all of its legs.

"We're going to need to bolt this thing to the floor if she does that much more," He sounds a tad annoyed. His eye twitches. "Stop bleeding on the floor, will you Maru-chan? If anyone else comes in here they'll maul you,"

Can't help it a$$hole, I think grumpily.

"Maru-chan! That's not very nice," Nari says cheerfully. "You're a mean little girl aren't you?"

Shut the f*ck up

"You have a very colorful vocabulary Maru-chan," He's petting me by now.

I'm not a dog! My inner is starting to get mad.

"You're too cute to be a dog. You're a cute little kitty~!" I sigh and wish I wasn't tied down so I could bite his hand off. "Violent too," I groan under my breath as the two (probably gay) Others chatter excitedly and do Kami knows what to my hair.

Someone kill me

"Not yet Maru-chan. Now stop whining you're going to look beautiful!"

Mind-reading b*stard

…line…line…line…line…

My eye twitches a little when they hold a mirror up to my face. Apparently Santai has the ability to change people's appearances, even his own. My hair is still black and I still have the annoying red streak (which he darkened, much to my distaste) but it's longer. Now down to my shoulder blades. He's layered it so it looks pretty decent. The tips are now red too. I groan quietly and think every swear I know. Nari snickers.

"That's not very lady-like language, Maru-chan~" He coos ruffling my hair and pulling it back into a pony-thing. My eye twitches again and he grins. "You look so pretty~"

"I don't know if we're going ever let our new toy go!" Santai adds and I feel like I might cry. He crosses his legs in front of me and unlocks me from the chair. Nari pulls me into his lap and pins my arms behind me as the blond rifles through my bag, "Ooo~ You have makeup~" Oh yeah… Mom threw that in there incase I decided I wanted to get girly some day. Heh, yeah right. I don't do make up.

"That's what you think!" Nari grins, his breath hitting my ear and making me shiver. He chuckles and I close my eyes when instructed as Santai attacks me with every piece of make up I have.

I try not to move too much as the two go at me with all the poking and prodding that comes with putting on makeup.

"Alright you two, you've had your fun. Let go of the girl" A calm voice comes from behind me and the two Other men freeze up.

"Sorry Kabuto-san," They chorus and slink away from me with the speed only Others have. The silver-haired man steps down and offers me his hand. I mentally wince as I take it. His cool hand closes around mine and he pulls me to my feet. I start to pull my hand away but his grip is strong. He flips my hand over and frowns a little. My stomach ties into knots.

"What happened to your wrists?" He murmurs as I try to pull my hand away. He pushes his glasses up with his free hand, his eyes hard. "I don't remember approving your request for handcuffs," He bends down and lifts the bottom of my jeans "…Or ankle bindings,"

"J-Just precautionary measures," Santai says boldly.

"Yeah, she could have gone insane when she woke up," Nari adds. One second Kabuto's standing next to me, the next my two captors are on the ground groaning and holding their necks. My eyes get huge and Kabuto lands lightly beside me again. He's smiling.

"You guys know what happens when you don't ask before you do," He turns and starts walking toward the door. "Come with me Kumori," I take one last glance at the men before I run after him.

"You didn't have to do that, Kabuto-san,"

"We have very strict rules here, Kumori. You'll learn that soon," I shiver a little.

"Where are you taking me?" I ask as we go further and further from the room.

"It's a surprise," He grins at me, turning his head slightly.

We both fall quiet and I shiver again. A blanket is draped over my shoulders and I almost give myself whiplash trying to see who did that. My companion chuckles a little but covers it up with a cough.

"Hold on a second," He says as we stand in front of the huge door. I blink and he sighs. "Just a warning, I don't know how many Others are going to be in the room. They also may be hungry. Orochimaru-sama is in the room though. He doesn't want you killed yet,"

"That's comforting," I mumble as we walk inside once the door has opened. "But why me?" A low chuckle greets me.

"You haven't changed a bit, have you darling?"

"Daddy?" I squeak. His light brown hair is speckled with grey hairs but his eyes still have that mischievous glint in them. "I-Impossible, you died in that plane accident,"

"They never recovered a body,"

"It was over a year ago! That's why I came to live with Mom," Tears fill my eyes "Where have you been all this time?!" He steps forward and pulls me into a hug.

"I've missed you too," He says and I do the most mature thing possible at that moment. I burst into tears and hug him back.

…line…line…line…line…

"She's a sleep now, Orochimaru-sama," Santai grins bowing his head. "I told you my ability is fool proof. She fell for the entire thing."

"Perfect," He chuckles. "I assume that her boyfriend is on the way,"

"Your assumption is correct. He has been tearing everything apart since he found out that she went missing." He chuckles again.

"The girl's cluelessness is exactly as she's described and he's madly in love with her. Our plan is going along without a hitch,"
