Third Person
The room was absolutely silent. Three sets of eyes stared back at one and other, deciding what to do or say in that very moment. Serenity blinked once, twice as if her eyes were deceiving her. Where her kittens once stood, bickering among each other in their cat speak now stood two fully grown and very naked men, just staring at her awkwardly while her arm continued to bleed profusely.
She blinked a third time.
"...un…" Was all Deidara said as he registered what had just happened, eyes shifting between Sasori, who was equally as shocked as he was, and Serenity, who looked… Lost? Dazed? He couldn't put his finger on the word. "Hey, un… We ar-" He didn't even have time to finish his sentence, as a blood curdling scream filled the air.
"Stay away from me!" Serenity proceeded to throw the nearest object towards the fully nude blonde bomber with all the strength her noodle arms would grant her. Luckily that object being the sculpting tool she had been using on the piece of wood she was working on. Deidara, however, being the ninja that he was easily dodged the tool.
"Oy, calm down woman, un! We aren't going to hurt you!" He cried out, only to then have a lamp thrown in his direction, nearly hitting his family jewels.
"You idiot." Sasori spat, looking at his partner with a mix of annoyance and a very prominent 'this is why I never do anything with you' look. "Now look what you have done."
"I'm calling the police!" Serenity yelled, running into her bathroom as quickly as she could, managing to get there before the people in her house could catch her. With heavy breaths, the brunette fumbled her clothes, taking note of her still furiously bleeding arm as she attempted to find her phone, only to realise that she had left it in the other room. "Fuck."
"I'm sorry about the idiot… Serenity." Sasori stated, knocking on the bathroom door as he glared towards Deidara who was still shielding his meat and veg. It took him a moment to remember her name due to the countless times he had wished for her to die as he was put through 'torture'. "Please know that we mean you no harm. This is all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Serenity yelled, throwing herself against the door even though she had long since locked it. She was taking no chances. "Bitch, I don't know who the fuck you even are. What is the misunderstanding with two naked men showing up, in my house let alone, with unknown intentions!" She could hear Sasori sigh on the other side of the door. "You could be rapists! Burglars!"
"I can assure you we are neither." He paused for a moment, turning to look at Deidara. "You aren't a rapist or a burglar are you?" Deidara proceeded to give the most offended look he could offer at that very moment.
"Not helping, un." The blonde spat, leaving the room and Sasori to its demise. "You're on your own, un."
"Please, leave my house…" Serenity pleaded, hoping that they wouldn't have realised that her phone was resting on her messy bed. "I will say it again, I will call the cops if you don't leave. This is your last warning."
Sasori sighed as he walked over towards the brunettes bed, picking up the phone that was clearly on top of her covers. "Wouldn't you need a phone to call the cops?" Though this device was still rather new to him, from spending days with the two girls the Akatsuki had identified this was some sort of communications device.
"..." Fuck. "...I have my phone with me." Serenity continued, hoping that there was a chance that he could believe that was someone else's phone.
It was then that Alison decided it would be the best time to text her friend, who was in a very trivial situation. A very loud rendition of 'Nyan Nyan' blared through the speakers, leaving Sasori to stare at the door with a raised eyebrow, while Serenity tried her best very hard not to start bashing her head against the bathtub, hoping for sweet sweet death. "Are you sure?"
"..." Serenity gave a long intake of breath before exhaling it. There was no denying it now. "...I ain't leaving this bathroom, no way in hell… Though you can tell me 'your' side of this… Story."
Sasori brought his hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose, giving a fairly mellow sigh before closing his eyes. The feeling of flesh on his face was fairly displeasing for the once puppet man, but there were bigger issues at hand. "This is going to sound far fetched, but we are not some random thieves attempting to break into your home, or some deranged rapists." He looked towards Deidara who now stood in the doorway, his bottom half now covered by one of the living room pillows he bummed during his 'fuck Sasori' disappearance. "We are your cats."
"..." Serenity sat there, processing. "...I admit it. You criminals sure got jokes. I'm laughing my ass off in here." The brunette continued, looking at the door as she waited for the red headed criminal to continue.
"As I have said before, the idea sounds far fetched, but I can assure you, what I said just now is very true." He released his nose before putting his hand on the door knob. "I can also assure you now, that I am not one for jokes."
Suddenly, the puppets hand began to glow a bright blue as he flooded chakra to it, soon entering the door with ease. "You want me to just believe this 'cat story'. It sounds like one of those odd kitten stories that Ali reads in her spare time." Serenity commented, not realising what was happening behind the closed door.
"There are stories about things like this happening?" He sent a side eye to Deidara, who was now looking down at the barrage of kittens that were now flowing into the room. The others had come join them, drawn by the fact that Deidara was now human. "Interesting."
"Interesting?" Serenity's mouth opened as it now stood ajar. "You thieves are something else. Breaking into my house to talk about cats. Though I like your attitude, I would like it if you left me alone. I am done listening."
"You may be done listening, but we however, are not done talking. This is taking far too long." In a matter of seconds, with the door knob still glowing blue, Sasori ripped the door from its hinges, exposing a very vulnerable Serenity who now stared at the area where the door once stood with shock, awe, and pure horror.
"Get away from me!" She screamed again, this time heading straight to the single small window that stood above the shower. Her attempts were flimsy performed and futile as Sasori walked up behind her with ease, pulling the girl towards his form as he forced her out of the bathroom. With the sudden close contact and the fact that he was naked, Serenity's face turned a bright pink, her mind easily turning to mush. She didn't do well around clothed men in general, yet here she was now pressed up to a butt naked thief. "Rape! Somebody!"
"Enough." Sasori groaned, throwing her onto the bed. "You will stay there, and you will not move." It was then that Sasori walked towards the bathroom once more, only to throw her phone into the toilet.
"P-please don't hurt me…" She whispered, tears threatening to spill from her eyes as she sat helplessly on her bed, surrounded by her two kidnappers.
"For the third time woman, we aren't going to hurt you, un." Deidara commented from the door to her bedroom, still holding onto the pillow that covered his man bits. "You fail to see the seriousness of this situation. Now, what you don't realise here is Danna was telling the truth, un. We are your 'cats'."
"Seriously? Still going along with that story?" Serenity replied, brows furrowed with annoyance. "How can you even prove that? You are just a bunch of no good burglars who want either my body or my stuff!" It was clear that her mind was unshifting on the subject. With that thought in mind, Sasori walked towards the kittens who had long since joined the view to watch what was going on, only to pick up 'Halloween'.
"You want proof?" He asked, staring at the brunette who refused to shake her head. "Fine." With that said, he threw the kitten onto the blood soaked floor, an uncaring look on his face as a loud thump was heard.
"Don't you fucking dare throw my kittens you piece of sh-" A large puff of smoke filled the room just as it did earlier, the smell of sulfur attacking her nose. Suddenly all anger she felt towards the red head disappeared as she soon laid witness to a new naked man standing where Halloween once stood. The only difference between the other two, was his face was covered by a large orange swirled mask with only one exposed eye hole.
"Owwie! Sasori-san, that hurt! Please be more gentle with Tobi!" Tobi screamed, clutching onto his head as he rolled around on the floor, man bits flopping around.
Serenity just stared towards the three men that now inhabited her bedroom, unable to speak. One, she was completely proven wrong. Two, there were three naked men standing very close to her bed who she still didn't know their intentions, and last of all… Three. She couldn't help the light headed feeling that flooded her system as she processed everything that was happening.
It was also then the Serenity passed straight the fuck out, leaving the three men to marvel in their nudity state quest for answers.
"Oh no! Owner-chan has died on us! What are we going to do!"Tobi cried out, his loud voice echoing in the room.
Pein closed his eyes whilst still in his cat form, going over what he had just seen, as well as what his subordinates had just caused. With holding a long sigh, he reopened his Rinnegan eyes only for them to land on the puddle of blood which was used to transform them back. Looking towards the others, he nudged towards the blood. "All of you, change yourselves back. Konan, stay here with me for a moment." Catching his minor drift, Konan nodded, knowing exactly what he was hinting.
"Yes, Pein-sama." The others chimed, hesitantly heading towards the puddle of blood which had long since been speared around the room by the others. The first to stick their hand in was Hidan, his enjoyment with blood seeming to take a hold of him before common sense kicked in. Just like the others, a puff of smoke filled the room, and he was returned to his human form.
One by one the Akatsuki became human. However, just as the others they returned to their forms in the nude. Konan quietly covered her eyes as she avoided looking at the others, while Pein watched them with disintrest. "Find something to cover yourselves up with. I need this girl calm when she wakes up so that we can question her."
The others nodded without much protest as they began their search in the girls home to find something they could cover up with. Once they were gone, Pein turned to Konan who nodded quietly. Before she allowed herself to change, Pein walked out of the room, shutting the door so she could become human again without the boys having to see her, and to give her some space. At least she could put on some of the Serenity's clothing without that many issues.
Going to look for his own covering clothes, Pein found himself walking towards the spare bedroom in which the girls never used. He doubted the girls clothing would fit him, so he was hoping that in there he would be able to find something, and something soon, after all, he had no idea when the other woman would return.
Finding something to cover his lower half, he then returned to Serenity's bedroom where Konan was dressing, only to watch the lavender haired woman step out in clothing, but it was very clear that it didn't fit properly.
Nodding at each other, the two Akatsuki members made their way back towards the living room. When they arrived, most of his members had something on to cover at least their lower half. Kisame, Zetsu and Kakuzu only had on what looked like sweat pants while the rest of them had on different mix and matched sweatshirts and sweatpants, some tight fitting, others looking like they were four sizes two big.
"So... What now?" Kisame asked for a moment, pulling up the pants he was wearing, as they appeared to be too large even for him. It's only the two girls that live here... How? He asked himself quietly, but didn't divulge into it too much.
"We are human, now what the fuck do we do?" Hidan yelled, being sucked in by his tight fitting clothes. He ignored the displeased looks Kakuzu was giving him, but proceeded rant on wards. "Now, how the fuck do we get home?"
"Calm yourself Hidan. This is not something that will be accomplished quickly." Pein spoke, his hand running down his jaw line as he spoke. "Finding a way to turn back human was only part of the problem, now we will start focusing on finding a way home." His eyes lingered on Serenity's door. "One of you, see if the child has awoken."
Itachi nodded and walked in the direction of Serenity's room, only to open the door and find that she was still fast asleep. Walking towards the brunette, he proceeded to inspect her carefully before letting out a soft sigh before returning to the others. "She is still out, and probably will be for a while."
Pein nodded, only to be interrupted by soft knocks on the door. Deidara jumped, for he was right beside the door and proceeded to look out the window, only to see a man with various boxes topped on each other, along with a bag in his hand. They waited to see if the man would eventually leave, only for the guy to ring the door bell again. Deidara turned to look at everyone. "She did order something, un…"
"So go pay for it." Kakuzu stated, he was hungry and not in the best moods at the moment, especially while watching his partner fiddle around with the pants he was wearing.
"I don't have any money in this world, un!" Deidara shouted as he glared at the bounty hunter. "Why don't you find the money and go and pay for it, un!" The doorbell rang once more as they argued.
"You seriously think I'm going to pay for this females food?" Kakuzu glared at the blonde bomber.
"Then find the damn money she pulled out and pay the fucker, because if it's food I fucking want to eat it." Hidan shouted as he looked around the room for the money, dead set on receiving said food even if it meant having to do it himself.
Pein gave a low grumble as he rubbed his temples, watching his otherwise S-Class Criminal members search around the house for money, more or less looking like a bunch of chickens run around who just had their heads chopped off. Itachi gave a sigh before walking towards the kitchen, only to find what he assumed was Serenity's wallet. Taking it with him, he proceeded to walk towards the door.
"Good afternoon sir, your total is 33.27" The delivery man asked, holding out his hand in order to receive his money before he handed off the food. Itachi nodded, opening up her rather large wallet to find a couple bank notes with large '50's planted on them. Pulling one of them out, he handed it towards the delivery man, who nodded. "Would you like the change?"
"Keep it." Itachi continued. He didn't care really, it wasn't his money. All he wanted to do was silence the others. The delivery man smiled towards him, nodding as he handed Itachi the bill before shoving the food in his direction. Without much more interaction, he close the door and took the food back inside.
Setting the food down along with the bag that come along with it, Itachi returned to the living room only to head a crash coming from Serenity's bedroom. Deciding that he had done enough, the Uchiha shrugged his shoulders before sitting himself down on the couch, allowing everything to skin in. Kisame soon followed him.
"The fuck's wrong with you, un!" Deidara shouted narrowly avoided Hidan as the Jashinist attempted to pin him down. "Fuck off!"
"Don't be such a goddamn pussy!" Hidan shouted as he tried to pull the shirt Deidara was wearing. "Your shirt is fucking bigger then mine and I fucking want it. Hand it the fuck over." He continued, only for a loud ripping sound to be heard as the shirt finally gave in, ripping apart. "Now look what you have fucking done, heathen."
"Me? This is all your fault, un!" Deidara yelled, only to be interrupted by Tobi who was now running around, pointing a finger in his direction.
"Oh, well look what you have done senpai! You have destroyed one of owner-chan's shirts! You are going to be in so much trouble when she wakes up!" The masked man continued, rocking around in his spot earning Deidara's annoyance.
Pein sighed and turned away from the mess his member's created to turn towards Itachi who was currently having a conversation with Kisame. He then turned back towards the others, disrupting their fight with just a few words. "Enough. The girl ordered food, now go eat it before it gets cold."
"Thank Jashin! I was fucking starving!" With that, the Jashinist proceeded to leave Deidara alone with his ripped shirt, making his way towards the kitchen with the others. One by one, each of them grabbed a slice of what they heard was 'pizza' and proceeded to fill their now human sized stomachs. Hidan now happily stuffing his face, proceeded to yell out in pleasure, only to have their leader wince at his tone.
"Hidan silence." Pein responded with un-amusement, earning a pout from the Jashinist. "We have matters that require our attention. It would seem that there are written occurrences in which others have come into this world in the form of felines. She called it 'fan fiction', is that correct Sasori?"
"Yes. She mentioned that the other girl, Alison reads it. Apparently the plot sounded similar to our situation, so it would be in our best interests to find and review some of this material." Pein nodded with agreement.
"That would be wise. Have any of the rest of you picked up any information regarding the girls or our predicament?" His eyes scanned the rest of the Akatsuki minus Konan, for she had spent most of her time with him.
"Nothing of interest really. Other than her and the other girl being civilian 'children', I see nothing investigating with the girl and her friend." Kakuzu stated as he sat on one of the stools in the kitchen, as far away from Hidan as humanly possible given the space. "I feel as though it would be a waste of time."
"That may be fucking true about the bitch who is knocked out over in the bedroom, however the other bitch fucking seems to be a Jashin damned fan of ours." Hidan stated from his spot in the living room. Deidara nodded at this
"She had strange drawing of all of us on the computer she was using, un." Deidara stated as he leaned up against the counter. "From what I could see, they are way more advanced then the ones we use back home. It might be worth checking out."
"The brunette is not a problem it seems. I must commend you Sasori for destroying her strange device. A cell phone she called it? Those pictures of us were horrid." Kisame stated as he frowned at the idea of anyone else seeing those pictures of him as a cat terribly fitted onsies. Others in their own world would never let the subject slide. I would be horrifying to say the least.
"What should we do with the other girl then?" Sasori asked as he leaned against the wall. The feeling of flesh on his back against the cool wall irritated him to no end as he missed his puppet body. How he had returned human flabbergasted his mind. There were many questions that had yet to have been answered.
"We will talk with her once she returns home, either with or without force depending on what she does." Pein responded, folding his arms over his exposed chest as he eyed the room. "It would be best if we tie up Serenity before she wakes. If she escapes, there is a chance that she might call the police, and I would rather not have to deal with that situation." I already don't want to deal with this one as it is... He continued in his mind, however he didn't state it out loud.
"What is it that you would like me to do, leader?" Zetsu asked, merging into the room. He looked ecstatic to be back in his human form, wanting to gather what information he could right away. Pein moved his eyes towards the plant man.
"Investigate the area. Look for clues and ideas on how we can return home. The less time we spend in this world, the better." With that, Zetsu nodded before merging back into the floor – his mission now to gather what information he could find.
Just as Pein was about to open his mouth and say more, his eyes shot to the door as the sound of the door knob rattling filled the room. Everyone looked towards each other before jumping away from their plates of food, un-knowing of what was going to happen. They braced themselves as the watched Alison walk into the home, not looking at them straight away.
"Wow, it smells great in here Ren!" Alison commented, throwing off her shoes before walking towards the kitchen, completely clueless as to who was in the living room. "Boy, what a day I have had today. My boss is a complete nut job. Fucker thinks all tips are his. Honestly, I can't stand that guy for more then a few hours everyday – thank god he normally has after noon shifts." She continued on, grabbing a piece of pizza. "Ren? Why aren't you talking? I know you're home, I see yo-..." She lifted her eyes only to find the living room filled with the ten members of the Akatsuki, partially dressed at that. "..."
"..." No one spoke, as Alison drew the slice of pizza to her mouth, chewing on it as she attempted to process what was going on. It was only after a good minute of a staring match and her finishing her pizza, did she open her mouth.
"Is my birthday today or something? Because boys, and girl of course, let me tell you, I am thoroughly pleased and coming home and finding a bunch of cosplayers in my home. Was this Serenity's idea?" She smiled to herself, plopping the crust in her mouth, still completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. "Shit, you even got me an Itachi. Wow." She then sent a wink in his direction. "You best be stripping cosplayers, because Mama here is now all hot and bothered."
Internally, Itachi wished death upon both him and the girl, while Kisame decided now was a great time to burst into laughter.
A/N: Alison is now back into the equation! You know what, if this were to happen to me in real life, I would probably react in the same way. Both my family and friends know this is like some odd dream I have, meeting my favorite criminals – but boy oh boy, if it were to happen, I would happily open my butt to them. Haha!
