Chapter 15: Incentive to be Evil
Sumiko opened the door to reveal the former grass ninja. "Are you ready for the party? You better not say no after all those preparations we did…"
Sumiko smiled and nodded her head. Following Zetsu, she noticed that her brother's chakra was no longer in his room, but congregated with the rest of the Akatsuki in the living room. "Zetsu-san, they should know it is impossible to throw a surprise party on a shinobi right? It is not like I am a genin unable to sense their chakra…"
Zetsu chuckled. "Sasori figured as much. Can't talk those idiots out of it however."
"Thanks so much for all the effort Zetsu-san. I truly appreciate it."
Zetsu half smiled, half snorted. "Well, you are going to be a member remember? Also, who knows if we get stuck with you…" Sumiko giggled and opened the door to the living room.
"SURPRISE (UN)!!!" The Akatsuki members all shouted, but to their confusion, Sumiko laughs.
"Hey! What's so funny, un?" Deidara asked her to receive a hug.
"I could sense all of your chakra easily from my room. Not exactly a surprise." Deidara laughed and returned her hug. There was smirking all around the room at Deidara's show of affection.
Kisame nodded approvingly. "'Bout time you confessed your feelings Deidara. We were betting on exactly how long you were going to dawdle for." Deidara's mouth hit the floor as Sumiko laughed at Itachi getting money from the other members.
"Damn it all. I was certain that Sasori would have killed you already." The Jashinist grumbled, but he did not bet money with that being against his religion.
"You had to go and make my blackmail worthless didn't you?" Kakuzu grumbled. He had the insight to not place a bet.
Sasori raised an eyebrow at the display before him, especially at the mention of blackmail. "I would have killed all of you if I knew there was such an intense interest in my sister's relationships." Daisuke walked up to Sumiko.
"Sumiko-sama… My time here is fleeting…" Sumiko looked at the fox with unknown emotion in her eyes.
"Get on with it Mamoru-kun. Transform back already." Daisuke got over his initial shock and smiled with his eyes and a poof later, a man with should length silver hair stood where the fox once was. Eyes dashed back and forth between Hidan and the new man. He smiled. "My name is Mamoru and you all are acquainted with my dumbass baby brother Hidan I take it?"
Kakuzu glared at Hidan. "You didn't inform us you had a brother." The Jashinist smirked.
"I thought he was dead until recently. I only barely found out about his existence and besides, like I'm going to say that my brother is a fucking fox when I did find out."
Pain and Konan looked at Mamoru with mild interest. Konan's face expressed mild interest while Pain's was filled with annoyance. "So… we have a fracture in our defenses… We allowed you to spy on us and what guarantee do we have that you will not leak out information?"
Mamoru bowed his head. "With all due respect, I was how Sumiko-sama was able to gain her information and persuade her sources to disclose the vitals."
Sumiko snorted. "You sound as if you did all the work Mamoru-kun."
Mamoru lowered his eyes to Pain. "If it is of comfort to you Leader-sama, I do not mind offering my services to you doing what Sumiko-sama has done.
Konan glanced at Pain and they silently weighed the options. Pain's ringed eyes honed on Mamoru. "I will consider this…" Mamoru smiled at Sumiko and nodded at her, garnering a smile.
Sasori and Hidan noticed with a smirk that Deidara was getting jealous, very jealous judging by how narrow his visible eye was becoming. "Mamoru-san, I suggest you not stand so close to Sumiko-chan…"
Mamoru smirked and everyone mentally noted how alike he and Hidan were, not just physically, but seemingly mentally. "I approved of your relationship remember? I am not an ass like Hidan. I know that is too late for something to be between the two of us anyway."
"I am not an ass!" Mamoru looked as his brother with a loving annoyance.
"Shut up. Anyways, it is Sumiko-sama's special day. We all got you something!" Sumiko smiled and looked around the room. Her eyes lingered on the food as her stomach grumbled.
Deidara heard her stomach and laughed. He grabbed Sumiko's hand and tugged her towards the bountiful buffet. "Help yourself, un!" Sumiko smiled at those words and gently picked up a plate.
The Sand Council evaluated some documents concerning their most elite ninja. Amongst them was paperwork on Sumiko of the Red Dress. An old man looked down at her file. "Can we really trust her? She did just disappear and Kazekage-sama took it upon himself to find her."
An old woman glared at the whole council. "That woman is the only one able to control Shukaku with relative ease and using little chakra. If something happens to Kazekage-sama, she is the only person we can really trust in. Her powers are able to restrain that beast; surely she can take care of the Wind Country. Her experience as a ninja is the perfect qualifications and she also has political experience as well."
The council all stood up at once. The old man's voice rang through the room. "So we are all in agreement to send a summons to Sumiko of the Red Dress to permanently station her with Kazekage-sama. If she does not come after a given period of time, we shall mark her as a rouge ninja."
Gaara's right temple started to ache so he rubbed his head to try to relieve the stress. Temari noticed right away. "Gaara, what is the matter?"
"Well, I just have a feeling that the stupid council is deciding stuff without me… and I hate it when they decide new policies without my knowledge or consent."
