Second chapter~~~Enjoy people ^.^ Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor any of the characters in it. I absolutely own Himiko though and have taken A LOT of time to develop her, so you may not steal her at all. What so ever. Byebye!
"Tobi thinks that Zetsu-san has been acting weird lately..." Tobi randomly said one day to me a couple of weeks after the Zetsu incident, while I was re-painting Konan's nails for her. "Why do you say that?" I asked absentmindedly, not really expecting an answer for some reason. "Well...he keeps mumbling to himself..." Tobi said, shrugging his shoulders as he raised his hands in an I don't know gesture. "Tobi, Zetsu does that normally." Konan reminded him as I finished touching up on her last nail. "Tobi knows! But what he said has gotten weirder lately." I looked at Konan as she stood up and shrugged, looking a bit confused herself.
"What do you mean Tobi?" I asked, somewhat intrigued to know the answer. I watched Konan walk away with a bored expression on her face as Tobi began a rough manner of imitating Zetsu's white side, "We shouldn't be doing this..." he said, then switching to make his voice sound like the black side, "I know but just shut up and deal with it." white side; "What if we get in trouble with Kisame, what then?" black side; "We'll deal with it if it comes to that." He paused as if to catch his breath for a second, and then continued, "See what Tobi means? Tobi thinks it's aspisious...supisionous...SUSPICIOUS!" Tobi paused again and nodded, "Yep, that's the right word." he said, happily impressed with himself for pronouncing the word right. I blinked, wondering what Zetsu could have meant myself, it was kind of weird that he had been talking to himself like that...about getting in trouble, and for what reason would he get in trouble with Kisame anyways? I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted before I had even started to.
"What are you two talking about?" A dark and angry sounding voice asked from over my shoulder, casting a shadow over Tobi and I. Tobi squealed in fright, jumping up from his seat on the floor next to me as he started waving his arms around crazily, "Nothing! Nothing at all! Tobi wasn't talking about you at all! Eek!" Tobi said, rather loudly, as he slammed his hands over where his mouth would have been had his face not been covered by his mask. I looked over my shoulder in shock at the sound of Zetsu's voice, surprised at the tone of it and the very very peeved look on his face. Zetsu's eyes widened as Tobi spoke, and his face turned a purple-red color as he shot a quick scared, and kind of nervous looking glance in my direction.
I couldn't really tell if he was embarrassed or mad at this point...and I kind of wanted to leave. I stood up slowly, my gaze traveling from Zetsu to Tobi and then back again. "You what?" white Zetsu asked stiffly, causing Tobi to squeak and back away a little as Zetsu advanced towards us a couple of steps. Tobi made a weird movement with his hands then for a couple of seconds, before squeaking again and quickly turning and running away, leaving me with alone with Zetsu. I instantly felt nervous...now what do I say? Zetsu looked pissed, and that was really the only word I could use for the look on his face, and now he wasn't saying anything but he still hadn't walked away. He caught my eyes when I looked at him and stared back at me...I had the feeling that I was missing something...something that Tobi had been about to tell me before Zetsu had walked over, I peeled my gaze away from Zetsu's eyes quickly as I tried to somehow figure it out.
Zetsu seemed to be stuck between wanting to know how much I knew, and wanting to run away, and I totally understood that feeling, although I just wanted to know more of what Tobi had heard...and suddenly I noticed something that struck me as weird...
"Your not wearing that...one thing." I said, motioning to my head in the place where Zetsu usually had his fly-trap thing. He blinked, his face snapping out of the angry look that was quickly replaced by a slight look of shock that I had even noticed, and then that look was replaced by an emotionless expression, although his face was still a slight purple-red color. "No I'm not..." "I do not wear it all of the time." he said quietly, all signs of his previous anger replaced by a weird kind of calm. "Oh...ok." I said, still wanting to run away a little as I looking in the direction in which Tobi had run off. I glanced back up at Zetsu though, deciding that it was the decent thing to do to stay and try to make small talk, "What was that all about?" I asked nervously, pointing in Tobi's direction as I hoped that it wasn't the wrong topic to breach. "Nothing." he said stiffly emotionless, staring at the ground now as a weird look formed in his eyes and he swiftly turned to walk away. I stood there for a moment, watching him leave as a weird forlorn feeling started to well up inside of my chest, making my eyes fill with tears almost instantly. He had said that I could talk to him...it felt weird for me to feel so sad about something as simple as this, but I did. I turned around, knowing it wouldn't get me anywhere to start crying where everyone could see me, so I started to walk down the wide dirt halls to my own room, my heart feeling heavy and my mind confused.
