A/N: technical chapter 2, but actually chapter one cus the first one was a prologue. This is my zetsu story I hope you all enjoy, and I do not, in any way shape or form, own any of the characters in this story, accept for Ivory, and her family. I don't even own her last name! Naruto belongs to Misashi Kishimoto, whom I am not. Enjoy!
Konan and Kisame had been watching this girl for a week now. Kisame was getting impatient, wondering when they were going to grab her. Zetsu's birthday was in only a few days. They found out she would be staying in town until her escort arrived, and that her father is the head of a very wealthy, and prominent Shinobi clan, that currently resides in the land of tea. The two missing Nin, also managed to find out that she was eighteen, and that her name is Ivory. Konan and Kisame began debating on how to approach this particular situation; the blue haired kunoichi suggested that they simply talk to her. Kisame honestly didn't care at that point so he agreed.
"Remember, be polite Kisame. She's a highly respected individual, and we do not want to upset her." Konan stated looking at the shark man, as said man nodded, and then knocked on the door.
Ivory walked over to the door, answering it she saw a blue haired woman wearing a black cloak with red clouds, and a tall blue shark looking man with the same cloak, and a massive sword covered in bandages. The man had gills and blue hair as well. The woman, had her hair in a bun with a white paper rose, she also had a single piercing right under her lip. Ivory could tell by the man's head band that they were Shinobi.
"Hello, can I help you?" ivory asked tilting her head, her white hair fell in her face and she blew it away with a small 'huff'.
"Yes my name is Konan, and this is Kisame. We were hoping to… speak to you for a moment. May we come in?" Konan asked, and ivory nodded, moving out of the way for the two.
"Of course! But um, what is it that you need?" The white-ette asked curiously, as the two Akatsuki members walked into the large hotel suite.
"We came to speak to you." Konan replied, as she and Kisame took a seat at the dining table. "This is a strange topic, let alone request, so if you could take a seat…" Ivory nodded and sat across from her strange visitors.
"We have a friend, and his birthday is coming up," Kisame said and the girl gave him a confused look.
"And he asked for you as his gift…" Konan finished, and the white haired woman just blinked and looked at them.
"I've heard of someone receiving a person as a gift, but I never imagined this would be happening to me. Hmm… well I'm going to have to think about that, but… it's not like any one would notice I'm gone, hmmm…." Ivory mumbled to herself. Konan and Kisame just looked at each other. "I suppose I could… but we'd have to talk to my father about it. He doesn't trust me to make decisions on my own." She said smiling at the duo. "Though I doubt he'd pass up a chance to get me out of his hair."
"Well I'm glad you agree. Are there any questions that you have?" Konan asked in a friendly tone.
"A few, but why don't we discuss them over lunch? I don't know about you but I'm starving!" with that the trio left and ivory took them to a nice little bistro, and once they were seated the waitress took their orders. They waited in an awkward silence until the waitress showed up again with their tea, sushi, and ramen. "Um, any way about my questions." Ivory spoke, hesitantly.
"Yes, what is it you would like to know?" Konan asked, in a soothing tone.
"Well, what's with the strange attire?" amusement filled Kisame's face.
"We're in an organization. So is your…." Kisame scratched his head, at a loss for words. "Receiver?"
"What's the man's name?"
"Zetsu, he used to belong to the village hidden in the grass." Added the kunoichi.
"Am I going to need to defend myself?" that caught the two missing Nin off guard.
"You might. But not from Zetsu, from some of the other members." Konan said. "Hidan, especially. Maybe Deidara if he starts making little clay sculptures."
"Oh, alright. Well what is Zetsu like anyway?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Well, he's a bit rough around the edges…" Konan began.
"And completely insane." Interjected the Kiri Nin.
"He isn't… entirely insane. He has a split personality disorder. But Zetsu can be polite most of the time. He likes plants and, this is really strange but, he's a cannibal." This perked the teen's interest.
"A cannibal? COOL! I've always wanted to meet a cannibal!" Ivory exclaimed in amazement. The rest of the meal and the walk back to the hotel, was silent. "So… we should stop by my home first, you know, let my father know I'm out of his hair for good." Ivory gave a forced laugh, making both Shinobi look at each other.
"Very well. You're clan is from the land of tea, correct?" Konan asked politely. The teen gave a nod, and began packing her things. "It's all settled then. We'll leave in the morning."
A/N: ok, the end of this chapter sucked ass. It sucks more than the plane of suck (unless you are a wow nerd, you will not get the joke [RICHARD LIVES ON!] ) I will update soon, but I need 5 reviews to do so! It's up to you! I PROMISE the next chapter will be better.
