Sorry for not updating for so long.
BOTH THE EXAMS AND 'TYPE ERROR 2' WERE KILLING ME!
Anyway, they are all over and finally, a gained some time to type down this new chapter. Please comment and review!
"Matchmaker?" asked Itachi, with a questioning look. He turned to look at Kisame straight in the eye. "What on earth is in your mind, Sameki?"
The shark boy smiled at his partner. "You know, matchmaker. We're going to help Hinata-nee get Naruto-nii!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, Hinata has been training with us a lot, right? She also teaches us cool stuff… and besides, we have a lot of time to waste!"
The raven-haired boy never changed his look. His cute, confused face showed that he still did not understand.
Kisame sighed. "You see, 'Satachi"… ever since we became part of that… that organization, my freedom to do things was instantly taken away. Sure, I enjoyed… um… 'hurting' (killing) lots of people with my… uh… 'toy sword' (Samehada), but still! There were tons of stuff that I wanted to do! I want to be a… a singer! Or probably an actor! Or… Or… A chef who cooks a lot of fancy viands!"
"So your telling me… that you have always wanted to do… what you wanted to do?"
He smiled widely with his shark teeth. "YES! Exactly said, Satachi! That organization had made us do lots of things… you know, collecting… uhm, 'cute little creatures' (biiju)… But… deep inside, I wanted to be free, you know. I wanted to, like, run around grassy fields, sing a song with guitars… I… I just wanted to do stuff that I want to do."
"And, now you can, right?"
Both the young boys then stared at their beautiful nee-chan. She was still unconscious, but this time she was neatly placed, leaning under a shady tree.
"Like I said, Satachi. I want to play matchmaker, and there's nothing that you can do to stop me!" said Kisame, who looked very determined. "Are you in, or not?"
The Uchiha looked at the shark boy with a very emotionless face, which was later on replaced by a huge, adoable smile. "Are you kidding? I've always wanted to do hip stuff like this!"
"Naruto…"
The Hyuuga girl slowly waked up, and she rubbed both her eyes weakly. Finally, her blurry vision became clear, and she saw her two cute little students staring at her.
"Satachi? I-I didn't see you earlier before…"
He smiled at Hinata, and all his seriousness evaporated in an instant.
"That's because I just got here, nee-chan! I'm just supposed to pass by, but I saw you sleeping on the floor!" he said in his high pitched voice. "Silly nee-chan… the roads of Konoha are not for sleeping!"
Hinata smiled at the little brat, and patted him on the head. Well, I guess it was you two who positioned me here under this tree, right?"
"Yup!" said Sameki. He pulled up his sleeves to show his 'arms full of muscle' to the girl. "I carried you with my strength nee-chan! That's how strong I am!"
A little chuckle escaped from her mouth, and she reached out her hand to pat Kisame on the head. "Thank you so much for your help…"
"You're welcome!" said the two.
She stood up with ease, and brushed off her pants and jacket.
"So… uhm, Hinata-nee?"
"Yes, Sameki?"
"When are you going to give that little pink box to Naruto-nii?"
Suddenly, a pink blush spread evenly all over her face.
"H-H-H-How did you know?"
He smiled, and shrugged. "I don't know. I think it's a lucky guess…"
Actually, the box had a 'To Naruto' card attached to it. Hinata was just too shy and embarrassed to notice.
"Well," said Hinata, "I think I'm going to give it to him tomorrow…"
"Tomorrow?" asked Itachi. He looked at the older girl with confused eyes. "Why not now?"
Hinata blushed again.
"I… I think he's a bit busy today…"
The girl shyly hid the box behind her back, and moved her right foot in random directions, in an awkward manner. Her eyes were looking at some far mountain, and the red in her face got a lot brighter.
"Hinata-nee… we'll help you!"
Shocked, the girl dropped the box again. "H-H-Help me? In what?"
"In giving that pink box to him?"
She blushed some more. "I-I… I can give it to him tomorrow, there's no need to be so worried about – "
"Aw, come on, nee-chan! We'll even give you tips on how to attract boys more!"
"A-A-A-Att… Attract boys?"
She was now as red as a ripe tomato.
"Yeah!" said Itachi. "Don't be scared, it's actually very easy!"
As the group talked, four kids decided to join their conversation.
"Hi Satachi, hi Kisame! Hi… uh…"
"Hinata," said Pein, as he turned to look at Deidara. "Her name is Hinata."
"Oh. HI HINATA-NEE!"
The girl looked at them with confusion in her eyes, for she didn't know any of the children.
And Itachi noticed it fast.
He tugged the Hyuuga's jacket. "Ano… Hinata-nee…"
He pointed at Deidara.
"That blonde girl's name is Dai"
Hinata looked at him, and smiled at the clay-user. "Nice to meet you, Dai-chan!"
"Nice to meet you too, girl!"
Both Itachi and Kisame twitched, and stood perfectly still and shocked for a few minutes. Because of this, Pein decided to introduce himself… to the girl he nearly killed.
"Um… Hi, Hinata-nee! My name is Naoko, and Naruto-nii's my senior!"
The girl blushed, and greeted him warmly. "Nice to meet you, Naoko."
"I'm Kohana!" said a girl with blue hair, who then pointed at an emotionless redhead. "That's Satoshi-kun."
This time, she kneeled down, and patted all of their heads. "You are such cute kids… and I'm really happy to meet you all."
Finally, Kisame and Itachi went out of their trance.
"What's with Deidara?" whispered Itachi to Sasori.
The redhead jusr shrugged.
"It's a long story, but I'll tell it to you later if you want."
"So… do you guys want to help us?"
"Help you in what?" asked Kohana. She squatted cutely, and listened intently at Kisame.
"This might be fun… besides; we don't have anything to do this afternoon…"
The blue boy smiled and showed all his shark teeth. "We're going to help Hinata-nee give her pretty pink box to Naruto-nii!"
Inata nearly fainted, but she was able to keep control.
"I-I-I… I don't have to give it to him today… and and and I can do it by myself…"
"We're going to play a love game? Sweet! Count me in, sharky!" said Deidara. He stood up, and went near Hinata. He signaled her to sit down, for he had something to whisper o the Hyuuga princess.
And she did.
"Hinata-nee…," he said in a silent manner, "I have a lot of pick up lines for you!"
The girl turned bright pink, and smiled faintly at the blonde kid, who was so proud of himself.
"I'm in!" shouted Kohana. "And I bet Naoko's in too! We could help you a lot, for we know a lot about Naruto-nii!"
"Indeed. We know how naughty he could get. We never know, he might also be naughty on the bed, Hinata-nee!"
PUNCH!
"AAAAAAH! That really huuht! Ouch, Kohana! OUCH!"
"Sheesh… Jiraiya-sensei… has really inflenced you…"
As Hinata's face went back to being as red as an overripe tomato, two boys walked towards them, ready to join the fun.
"HIYA, F******! How're y'all doin'?"
Kakuzu slapped his face, and turned to his partner, "Quit the weird way of speech. It's annoying."
"Heh. You're annoying, b****."
Kohana went towards Hinata and tugged her pants. "Hey, neechan!"
"Uh, yes?"
The blue haired girl pointed at Kakuzu, wo was protectively clutching his moneybag. "That kid's nake is Kazu!"
"Nice to meet you, Kazu-chan."
"Same to you," he said, in an emotionless tone. Kohana then pointed at Hidan.
"And that guy over there is Hideki!"
"Hi Hideki-kun," said Hinata. "Nice to meet you – "
"What's with your f****** high pitched voice? And don't act like your f****** mom over-taught you about those d*** manners! Act cool and natural, f*****!"
Hinata paled.
"Um… please disregard his attitude. He was always like that even before he learned to stand with both his feet."
The group chatted some more, and Hinata started to grow fond of the miniature Akatsuki. They were like little brothers and sisters.
Meanwhile, Kisame thought of how to let Hinata gain strength when she gives Naruto the box.
"Think… think! How to increase that girls courage? Hmm…"
After a while…
"AHA! I got it!"
The shark boy ran towards Kakuzu.
"Hey dude, I want to ask you a favor…"
Annoyed, the stitched kid listened to Kisame. "What?"
He whispered into his ear, and Kakuzu understood everything. "Okay. First I'll go get Hideki, and then I'll go to that guy."
The tan kid grabbed on to Hideki's silver hair, and pulled him away from the others.
"S***! WTF, Kakuzu?"
"Listen moron, we have something to do…"
He whispered the whole plan to Hidan, whose face slowly filled itself with pure glee.
"That's awesome s***! Where are we going to find that blonde brat?"
"Kisame said that he's in the third training grounds…"
"Alright, let's go, f*****!"
Hidan shouted at all the Akatsuki members… and Hinata.
"Hey f******! We're going somewhere for a f****** while! Don't worry, when we're done with this s*** we'll come back to help you guys!"
"Alright, good luck on whatever that is!" said Kisame, with a smile.
And with that, the zombie duo ran to where the kyuubi kid was training.
