Recap
"I hope not, he already did it once. Twice counting now and I'm sure he doesn't want to do it a third time unless he wants to get kicked out the Akatsuki." he assured while walking over to me, before placing his large hand on to of my head. Shuffling my hair into a more wildly fashion than before. I felt my insides warm up with a certain feeling I haven't felt before, it felt familiar though. Very familiar.
"Thanks Kisame ... for everything." I thanked him after a moment of silence, the only thing being heard is the boiling water on the stove. He patted my head in return with a short chuckle erupting from his voice.
Forbidden
Chapter Seven
"Hey Yumi-chan." I heard a familiar female voice say behind me and I turned toward the voice to see in the kicthen entry stood Konan. She made her way over to me with small smile on her face when she saw Kisame and I.
"What's going on?" Konan asked looking empty pan and the two filled ramen bowls in front of us. I muffled a stiff 'hi' to her due to my cheeks being a bit full at the moment as she came in at the wrong moment. Kisame had put his bowl down to greet her with manner.
"Hey Konan, the kid and I were hanging in here for a while since she hadn't eaten all day." Kisame greeted with a smirk applied onto his face, showing off his teeth that I deemed oh so cool. Konan nodded back in response before she turned to me.
"Well I actually was looking for you today Yumi, I have a surprise for you." she said as she leaned against the sink diagonal from me, I raised an eye brow at her in response about what it was.
"W-what is it?" I asked her as I brought myself up onto my knees to get a bit more comfortable, she smiled at in return.
"Well since I don't have any more small-clothes to loan you, I've decided to take you out shopping to get some." she told me and I would have been excited, like come on, new things? I loved new things, though I didn't get often. But I still liked them. It's just the Orochimaru visit was still taunting me and I couldn't seem to feel happiness at the moment.
I guess Konan had caught on to my lack of excitement with the look of concern she gave me.
"Are you alright Yumi? You seem kind of down." Konan asked with a bit of worry in her voice but with the grunt of Kisame they both walked out the kitchen leaving me alone. I knew what they were doing, they were discussing my encounter with that snake demon out there. Just thinking about him made me shutter in fear, I even found myself glancing back at the door just incase he decided to surprise me.
"WHAT?!" I heard Konan yell out all of a sudden causing me to jump atleast a foot in the air from the surprise, not even a second later Konan came storming in with Kisame following behind.
"Let's go Yumi, we are going to be leaving out a little early then expected. Kisame escort her to the front exit, I'll meet you guys there." Konan said with an annoyed demonic voice as she walked, more like stomped, out the room leaving me and Kisame again. That truthfully kind of scared me, and by the look on Kisame's face it kind of startled him.
"Well you heard the woman, let's go to the front." he chuckled at me but I only nodded, still not feeling the happy gesture right now. But as he made his way across me my instincts told me to pull my arms up and which I did. Only nothing happened except a deep chuckle coming to rumble out.
"You are acting a bit spoiled now aren't you?" Kisame laughed at me as he noticed I still had my arms up, waiting to be carried by a familiar blue shark. No one knew, but I really enjoyed when Kisame picked me up but I probably already said that.
"Please." I said when I noticed that I still hadn't been picked up yet so when I looked at Kisame I pulled on a pleading face. I know I sound spoiled but I just liked being carried for some reason. Not my fault .. or maybe it was ...
"Alright kid, let's go." Kisame said picking me up into his familiar arms which I immediately wrap my arms around his neck like always. I watched patiently as Kisame led me down the hall making so many turns that I lost count on which turn was which until soon we came to a grand door that had a few markings on it. It was the darkest of all the doors and when he opened it there stood a flight of stairs leading down to a stone floor.
We made our way down the steep steps with Kisame's grip still tight on my legs, I noticed that at the end of the steps the stone hall had a long hallway with a large space on the far right that held weird statues in it.
"What's that?" I pointed my finger the large space below us not really sure what the purpose of that was. Kisame turned his head to see what I was talking about until he saw the statue.
"Uhh that's something we use on ... special occasions." he answered but before I ask what kind of occasions we came down another flight of stairs and to a giant boulder in front of us. I think we didn't come to a dead end.
"Uh Kisame, is this the wrong way? I didn't see another turn, so maybe something-" I started to say as I gazed around the area looking for any missed turns but the only thing other than this was the big arena like place now behind us. I stopped looking around when I heard Kisame chuckle at me his grip loosening in amusement, causing me to wrap my arms a bit tighter around his neck.
"No we're here, the entrance is just on the other side of here. It's a certain justu you need to open it." he chuckled at me and my confused look I gave him in return, I looked back at the boulder again, examining it again more carefully.
"What justu is it?" I questioned with my eyes strained on to the hovering boulder above us, what kind of justu could move this? Kisame took note of my confusion and with a smirk he raised his hand forming a hand seal, not even a minute later the boulder began shivering to the side where a big gap formed to the left of us. Big enough for us to walk out of.
"Oh~" I said in amazement, my eyes look at the boulder that looked like it had molded into the stone beside it. Cool.
"Leaving without me, I see." I heard a female voice say my thoughts instantly knowing who it was again, Konan, being the only person that came to my mind. I turned to her to see her attire had changed quite differently. Instead of the normal uniform the others wore, she sported a black short sleeve v-neck shirt that had a fish net shirt under it,with a jean skirt that stopped at the mid thigh, and plain black ninja shin boots. Her hair the same except for the paper flower accessorie that had layed on top of it.
"You look pretty, Konan." I said truthfully, she was a pretty woman and with the fact she was kind made it even more better. She smiled in gratitude as she made her way over to us, Kisame setting me down on my feet so I could stand next to her.
"Wait, how are you gonna disguise her? She can't go walking into a village with the fact they have a wanted sign out for her." Kisame asked her when he noticed my baggy attire along with my scratched up face. He was right, one look at me and I would immediately be jumped by reinforcements.
"Don't worry I already got it settled, Yumi get ready. I'm gonna do a justu on you." she said to me and before I could say anything she formed a hand seal and I felt a poof go off in front of me. Wagging away the smoke I looked down at my self to my whole wardrobe had changed.
Instead of my baggy black clothing, my new attire had changed to a simple black sleeveless hoodie with a grey short sleeve shirt underneath along with some brown pants and a pair of black ninja sandals. I also took notice that my short brown hair was now cascading down my back in a dark blue color instead.
"Now you look pretty. Though I liked your green eyes better, gold doesn't really fit you in my opinion." Konan said as she noted that my once sapphire green eyes were now gold. I didn't know how to feel about my new hairstyle and eyes but I really did fancy the clothing, especially the hoodie. I really liked hoodies for some reason, they felt cozy to me.
"I really like this outfit, it's very nice." I smiled noting how my voice was a tad bit higher in pitch which contrasted with my raspy one. I didn't really like this change since I was so used to my old one instead.
"Yea I had to change your voice since your raspy one is a bit to unique." she apologized as Kisame chuckled at my new change, I nodded in understandment since it was true.
"Okay we better get going." Konan told us, grabbing my thankfully still pale hand and began leading me out the gaped hole but not before I turned around and waved a hand at Kisame.
"Bye Kisame, cya later." I said to him in farewell to which he returned with a simple wave and smile before I turned my head back around to see sunshine creeping onto my body. My eyes squinted in reaction since I haven't seen sunlight in a while.
"Yea I should have warned you, but you do get used to it after a while." Konan smiled at me as we continued on out the gap before I suddenly felt the ground under give out and I fell into water. Not knowing how to swim I began to splash until I felt someone grab onto my arm and pull me up out of it, coughing up a bit of water in the process.
"Oh my gosh, I didn't know you didn't know who to channel your chakra. My bad, I'll carry you then." Konan said with worry while bringing me onto her back before she made her way across the water, her feet glowing blue as she did. I knew about channeling chakra since Hidan told me about it but I just didn't know how to do it yet so I guess if I wanted to leave the hideout I'd have to have someone with me then.
"It's okay, you didn't know." I assured her quietly as I leaned my head onto her shoulder after I had stopped coughing, my eyes beginning to droop in exhaustion but I tried my best to stay awake. I really didn't want to fall asleep on somebody without permission.
"Where are we going?" I asked once we hit grass land which took a while, but I didn't complain since her back was quite comfortable.
"We're going to the leaf village, they have nice shops there. Amazing ramen also." she answered with a smile as we began our way down a dirt trail. I noticed that it was in the late afternoon making me a bit curious on how far the village was and if we would make it before night.
"How long will it take to get there?" I questioned again looking up at her to see her pulling on a thinking face before I hear a sigh exit her mouth, she pulled her gaze down to meet mine as we continued to walk down the path.
"Well at this rate probably 2 days, but if we run we could make it to the perimeter by midnight." she told me, her gaze fixed on me as if she wanted me to pick the option. I didn't mind running but my sore muscles would only hold me for so long. Then again it would be better to just run as far as I could to get some ground over with.
"I don't mind but you must know that my body is a bit tense from training with Hidan today, so I don't think I'll be able to run for a long time." I told her trying to tell her ahead of time instead at the last-minute but she nodded in understatement, next thing I know I was being pulled onto her back again.
"You can get some rest because I know your tired, I'll run for you since your quite light and when we get there I'll wake you. Okay?" she instructed me but didn't give me time before she jumped onto a tree branch and began jumping from one branch to another. Not wanting to argue, I leaned my head down on her soft shoulder and closed my eyes. Dozing off into another deep slumber.
Yea I know this one was short but I was writing this at night and I was a bit tired Thanks for reading though and I hope you enjoyed!
