Sorry it took a while to get this up…anyway I do not own the characters or naruto…well I do own Kori but ya know whatevz.
Naruto's POV
I was standing in the hospital, Sakura treating the burns on my arms. Last thing I remembered was running from an explosion that Kori and that clay bomber Akatsuki member dropped. Damn she was good at deceiving while it lasted. But it still made no sense why they aborted the mission…
"Whatcha thinking about?" Sakura asked me, curious I guess.
"Well I was thinking about Kori…it makes no sense, didn't you see her face when she dropped the bomb? Almost regretful…do you think there's good inside Kori?" I asked Sakura, wincing as she continued healing my burns.
"Well it's impossible to know, baka," Sakura smirked at me. "But when you are done healing I'm sure Lady Tsunade will assign Team Kakashi a mission to find out what they are planning." Sakura smiled and walked out of the hospital room. As she walked out Sai walked in. Oh great…Mr. Emotion-Learned-from-Books is here…
"Hello Naruto. Are you feeling better?" Sai asked in his weird way.
"Uh yeah!" I cracked my knuckles "When I'm healed we're going after Kori!" Sai looked at me confused then perked up.
"Oh yes, the Akatsuki girl," He said smiling…which irritated me a lot. "I deeply hope you-," He was cut off by people walking into the room.
"NARUTO-KUN!" Hinata rushed into the room all worried. "Naruto-kun are you ok?"
"Yes Hinata I'm fine, just a few burns here and there," I kissed her cheek and continued talking "So Hinata, are you over the fainting thing now that I'm your boyfriend?" Her face went blank and she collapsed at the words, still not believing it. "I guess that's a no…" I looked down at her then looked up as Kiba walked into the room.
"So Narut-why is Hinata passed out? Never mind, anyway so Naruto I heard you got your ass whooped by a girl." Kiba chuckled at me as I rolled my eyes.
"She didn't whoop my ass…she exploded my ass!" I ended the sentence with a laugh. Suddenly Hinata stood up.
"Oh...that bitch is DEAD," Hinata said growling and crossing her arms. I rolled my eyes and laughed. Suddenly a girl about my age crashed through the window and flipped over my hospital bed, landing in front of Hintata. The girl mumbled something.
"Fail at glomping Naruto…" She said. Hinata glared down at her and almost kicked her. The stranger stood up quickly, scared of Hinata. The stranger looked at me and waved "Hiya, Naruto-kun!" She was smiling brightly and I looked at her with confusion.
"Do I know you?" I asked her suspiciously. She played with her purple hair pig tails before answering.
"I'm Cora! Why are you in bandages, Naruto-nii-san?" She replied.
Nii-san? No way could she be my sister…I don't have one! Then I noticed the lines on her cheeks…just like mine. No, it's just a coincidence. I'll test her. I looked over her before saying, "Well, Cora, if you ARE my sister…want to go get ramen with me and Hinata?" Cora's face lit up and she nodded. I stood and started unwrapping the bandages on my hands and back. Hinata decided to say something.
"N-naruto-kun are you sure it's a good idea? You should get some rest!" She seemed worried.
"Hinata, it's not like I haven't done this before," I replied smiling and walked over to Cora. I took Hinata's hand and led Cora out of the hospital room. We climbed down stairs and left the hospital. I eyed Cora for any action of threat as we walked through the street. She was looking around and suddenly stopped and pointed to someone.
"Hay, Nii-san, who's the stuck up pretty boy over there glaring at you and Hinata?" She asked. I looked over to see Neji glaring at me. "He looks like a girl…" Cora giggled at him. Cora then yelled to Neji, "You look like a girl, get a fake scar or something!" Neji huffed and walked away growling.
"That was Neji. He's Hinata's cousin…he's protective of her." I told Cora and she nodded.
"Nii-san, why were you in the hospital?" Cora asked me with curiosity. I looked at her and shrugged.
"A few burns," I replied to her and she stared at me.
"Yea, but how did you get those burns?" Cora asked, now onto something.
"You probably don't know her but an akatsuki member threw a bomb down at me after I discovered she was an akatsuki member…she has black hair, spiky ponytail, and her name is-," I was about to tell Cora who Kori was but she interrupted me.
"Kori!" Cora said with surprise. She smiled and started laughing. "She threw c4 at you didn't she?"
"WAIT! Hold on, how do you know Kori?" I asked Cora, grabbing her arm.
"Kori is my cousin…which means…" Cora was waiting for me to finish the sentence.
"…she is my cousin too" I was shocked, but that wouldn't stop me from finding her.
"Oohh, dramatic," Cora said trying to keep a straight face.
"Shut up Cora,"
"BURRITO" Cora randomly yelled waving her arms (a/n LIKE SHE JUST DON'T CAARE). Hinata gave me a look and laughed.
"That's defiantly your sister." She said with a smile.
"I like your girlfriend," Cora said, pointing to Hinata. We laughed and continued walking. But I couldn't stop wondering about Kori. I had so many questions that needed answers. As we approached the ramen shop Cora sprinted over to it and went inside. We followed her and when we entered she had already ordered the chicken ramen. Hinata rolled her eyes and sat next to Cora. "You gonna order anything?" Cora asked, only to have Hinata shake her head no.
"I don't think they have cinnamon buns here." She replied. I sat next to her and ordered my chicken ramen.
"So Cora…do you know why Kori attacked me?" I asked my sister and she looked at me with one eyebrow raised.
"Dude, it's obvious why. She's a member of the Akatsuki; you're a tailed beast, duh." Cora said, rolling her eyes. I just narrowed my eyes at her, and then it clicked. Well yea it makes sense but it still didn't make sense about her expression. The ramen we ordered was set on the table and Cora attacked it. After 4 bowls we both became full and looked at each other. Hinata giggled at the site.
"There is no doubt about the fact that you two are related." Hinata giggled again. I paid for the 8 bowls of mauled ramen and we got up. I put my arm around Hinata as we left. I wasn't paying attention to the conversation between Cora and Hinata as I was thinking about how to find Kori. I needed answers. But first I need answers from Cora. I thought to myself. We went back to my place and as I was unlocking to door I noticed Cora had two samurai swords with her. I don't understand how I didn't notice them before and I unlocked the door. I sighed and walked in to my house, they followed me in. Cora looked around my messy room and gave me a thumbs up.
"It's all clean!" She smiled and Hinata looked at her with confusion. "What? I think it's clean." Cora replied grinning. I shrugged and went to the table and sat. Cora came after me and sat across from me, Hinata pulling up a chair next to me.
"So, Cora, what can you tell me about Kori?" I asked my sister. She sighed and looked at me.
"Well, she was nearly annihilated her village at the age of 12 do to the demon inside of her. She met with Deidara of the Akatsuki soon after she left her village. So she stayed with the Akatsuki and has learned what she knows now. She spends most of her time with Tobi and Deidara but I know she has a crush on Hidan. That's as far I know about her." Cora replied to me with a look on her face. Hinata turned to Cora with a questioning face.
"How do you have the knowledge on her if she is in the Akatsuki?" Hintata asked her curiously. Cora looked at her with a blank expression.
"Because, I stop by the Akatsuki all the time, I'm nearly considered a member." Cora answered and Hinata looked at her with surprise.
"Really?" Hinata asked. She shook her head and went back to the Kori subject. "I'm not exactly sure why, but Kori reminds me of someone named Kiosho…." I looked over at Hinata right as she mentioned her. (a/n muhahaha rpc that u don't know….yet!)
"I wonder what Kori is doing now…" Cora wandered off in her sentence, and I began to think the same.
Kori's POV
I sat there in my room thinking about Naruto…my own cousin.
No…it was your objective, you had to do it
Akuma, I don't need to hear you speak right now…
Now now, don't be cruel heh heh. But I think you should know something…bad news…for you atleast…heh
What do you mean, "For me"? We are one person!
I'll just be sure to welcome the demon that just found its self awake.
Wait…what? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Yes, the ancient 12 tailed beast was sealed inside you, and now it's waking.
I stood and stared at my hands as my vision began to blur. Was this really true, what Akuma had said? It couldn't be…the 12 tails was just a myth, right? It had to be! Those were just stories in the orphanage to scare us! It…wasn't…true...it couldn't…be.
"Kori…?" I heard someone on the other side of my door. "Kori, you in there?" It sounded like…
"Hidan…come in" I replied, still a bit shaken from what Akuma had said. The immortal opened the door with a CREAK, wincing at the sound.
"Your door…is way too squeaky..." He said to me, trying not the make eye contact. He looked around at my dark and somewhat bloody room. He looked at me and tilted his head. "Bloody room…what have you been doing in here?" He smirked when I looked a bit surprised.
"Oh…that? Rituals…and stuff" I replied hesitantly. I didn't really know him that well but jeez, I had a crush on him, I don't think of what I say. His smirk turned to a friendly smile and he sat on my blood soaked bed.
"Ah…Jashinism is fun, isn't it?" He said with a hint of joy in his voice. I smiled at his words. Wonderful, he's a follower of Jashin, I had forgotten. I sat beside him and suddenly a head ache pierced through my head. Augh! It pounded and pounded at my skull, Hidan noticed the pain showing through my eyes. "Oh c'mon, It's a head ache, or is the little follower effected by pain in a negative way?" He rolled his eyes and I tried to tell him otherwise, that it was worse than just any pain, it was demon pain.
"No…it's…ah...demon pain...it...hurts more than...usual..." I managed to say and his eyes became worried. He wrapped his arms around me trying to comfort me. Then Akuma decided to speak through me to Hidan. "Trust me, it hurts her more than it hurts me…but this isn't my working. My head aches aren't this powerful…heheh" Hidan's eyes became wide and he hugged me tighter but my skin started to burn him. I squeezed my eyes shut and saw into my mind. What I saw I couldn't begin to describe. A giant cage, shin deep water, and then icy blue eyes opened behind the darkness of the cage. It was true…I couldn't believe it…I had to be dreaming.
You're not dreaming you stupid child.
No! You're just a myth! There's nothing past 10 tails!
Heheh…those idiotic stories they told you in the orphanage…you know how you acted up when they were told? I was trying to get through! It's been 15 years and I'm finally free bitch!
Shut up! Stop this! This is Akuma! Akuma's tricks are too real…way too real! Not true!
Oh shut up. You're gonna be stronger now that I'm ready to come out and help Akuma take over. That also means you won't be able to resist Akuma's attacks now that I'm joining him. Hah, your life is mine. I LIVE ON!
I won't let you, I'm stronger then you think…
Well…how would you like it if I took over now and showed your little friend here my power? Unless…you shut up and just listen to me!
No please no! Not Hidan! Don't hurt him, please!
…..
Hello?
…..
The demon wasn't responding and I was shoved out of my own mind. I looked at Hidan and he looked back worried.
"You…you ok?" Hidan asked me. He seemed more worried than curious. "You were staring into space and your eyes had turned blue…they're red again don't worry." He leaned in and I felt my face became warm.
"Erm…uh yea I'm fine…it's a demon thing…" I didn't want to tell him I was a rare jinchuuriki all my life without knowing. They might extract me…I don't want them killing me. I guessed he realized I was blushing because of him getting to close. He twitched and backed up a bit.
"You mumbled something…you were talking to your demon right? Why were you talking about the mythical tailed beast?" Hidan asked, now extremely curious. Well fuck.
"I was talking? Really?" I looked surprised then turned away. "Leave me alone…" I muttered to him without meaning to.
"Wha-what?" Hidan was very surprised and he hugged me from behind trying to comfort me. He turned me around and quickly planted a soft kiss on my cheek before backing up. "As you wish, my lady" He said in a tone like he was praying to Jashin. He backed out of my room, closed the door and left me standing in my room, a blush rising to my face.
"Bye Hidan…" I whispered to myself before grabbing my kunai and stabbing myself through the hip to relieve my stress. Ah…sweet pain…
Sweet pain…
Sweet pain…
There you go guys. I finally wrote it. Did I go fast? I apologize…reviewers get…get a Jashinism panda. Go on…take the panda
