Akatsuki Torture 6
Sneaking around the Akatsuki base, dark corners hiding me from the other members of the group. I'm trying to make my way to my room without any one noticing me…I need to find Itachi but I really don't want to. After totally owning him before I don't think he's going to be very happy to see my face again, I mean think about it, in the space of a day he's been owned twice…by a 14 year old girl. Ow.
Feeling very elated from beating Itachi (making sure the coast is clear) I wander into my room, black walls with the Akatsuki clouds on them, a feature wall including a giant picture of Johnny Depp -a new addition thanks to moi-. Flinging myself onto the four poster bed, covered with cranberry coloured duvets and blankets I sigh loudly. I've only been here one day and I'm already tired… The day now trickling away, the small digital clock on my bedside table reading 10:30pm, a smile breaks on my pale cheeks as I realize that staying up till this time would have been a great treat back home.
Back home.
I wonder how everyone is back home, probably worried sick about me, I know this seems bad but the person I miss the most is my Nana she's probably really worried and I can't believe that I've never thought about how they'd be feeling before this. What would the school be saying to them…? What would their cover up story be? The class became under attack and Abi just so happened to be taken hostage with Siobhan…hardly believable but the only thing they'd be able to come up with that make sense. I mean ' The board came alive and ate your children sorry about that.'. Weirdo's, nobody would believe that.
Standing back up I walk up to the full length mirror to see the full extent of my appearance change. Long white bangs drift in front of my face, now down to my waist instead of up by my shoulders, it's a nice change but I can tell it's going to be a nightmare to brush and wash. Not only my facial features have changed but my body shape too, I've gotten a lot shapelier and I've grown as well. I'm almost 5'9 now.
Knock.
A harsh knock on the door breaks me out of my reverie as I make my way over to the door it opens before I can get there. In the doorway is a very irate Itachi…heh the poor sap I mean does he want to get owned again?
"Hello. What do you want?"
"What are you planning?"
"Nothing, none of your business. Don't make me call Hidan!"
"I'm so scared…you totally owned me before you know, that pissed me off."
"Really? I never would have known."
"You really do think that I'm not going to hurt you don't you…well that's quite funny. Just because every other male is intoxicated by your very being doesn't mean I will be."
"Well that's good because I hate your guts and wouldn't want you touching me in a million years; in fact nobody could pay me enough for me to touch you."
"Oh come on, nobody can resist me."
"That is exactly why nobody could pay me enough to touch you. Arrogant teme."
"What did you just call me!!"
"A teme. Why?"
"Oh you bh."
"HIDAN!!"
I bellow hoping that he is somewhere in the vicinity, also hoping that he'll actually care enough to come and help me. Blushing terribly as he charges in and practically throws himself in front of me as if trying to shield me from harm… he really likes me doesn't he? I think that I should give him a chance I like him and he likes me so we should give it a go, even if we can just be friends because of his religion.
"What's wrong Abi-kawaii?" Hidan growls
"Itachi just called me a bh, it hurt me inside…tell him off please."
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
"Hidan, please go and buy yourself a life from the shop down the road and give up your pathetic attempt to get with Abi-kawaii." Itachi smirks
"Why because you want to get with her? Don't deny it, Kisame told me."
"No I don't!"
"Oh yes you do, now back off and stop being a complete homo towards Abi-kawaii and give her some respect."
"Yeah, give me some respect student!"
"You know what, fine I'll leave but this is not over Abi-kawaii!"
"You know if you didn't like me then why are you calling me Abi 'Kawaii'?!" I yell down the hall towards Itachi
"He's such a prick. Abi are you alright…?" Hidan asks gesturing me to sit down on the bed
"I'm alright just a little shaken, I'm just missing everyone a little at home, they're probably worried sick about me. However I need to prepare for lessons tomorrow, I have English to teach, I think I'm going to run it in days like a day of maths and a day of English followed by science…you get the drift?"
"Yeah I get it, I think that would be a good thing to concentrate on one subject for a day then you defiantly know that you've got all your books and homework for the lesson." Hidan smiles at me sitting beside me on the bed, causing the bed to decrease slightly as he does so
"Oh Hidan…I'm so tired and I've only been here for half a day at the most! What am I going to do about Itachi and all the other males trying to get with me, I really don't need a boyfriend right now, things are a little frazzled you know with me being kidnapped and all. But I would like to have a close male friend that could possibly in a few months slash weeks become a boyfriend."
"Really now?"
"Yeah, but who knows who that's going to be…so many choices."
"HEY!"
"Yeah…"
"What about me…?Can I be the guy. You know the one that becomes the boyfriend."
"Maybe baby. If you're good in class and show up for your detentions then I don't see why not. Hidan you've been so nice to me and it is really important to me to have someone like that at a time like this so…I would very much like to go out with you, if you know you want to. You religion will allow it like."
A twinge runs through his body as I say this particular point, oh dear he didn't think about his religion when he asked me. Which means that to forget about the one thing that he obsesses over a lot (like practically 24 7) he must be serious about me, not just like a fling in the park or something. My mouth twists up in a smile as I embrace him from behind earning another shiver up his spine, almost laughing I lean my head down so my mouth is next to his ear while whispering softly:
"What's the matter? Jashin wouldn't want it? That's ok if that's the case…Deidara seemed quite nice to me…we could have a blast with his art and stuff."
"No. You're mine, you're with me now! I love you and I'm sure that Jashin will understand when I tell him that of course we plan to bring up our children to be strong supporters of the religion…Oh crap what am I thinking…he'll never agree."
"Hey, hey Hidan…are you alright? It's not so bad, we can still be friends which is like going out only without the physical contact."
"That's not good enough! I want to be able to touch you!"
"The problem is you CAN'T!"
"I KNOW THAT!!"
"Calm down, it doesn't matter. Now to take your mind off this why don't we go and get some help from the 'other side' of the portal…because I know that you will be able to open the portal for me, you've done it before."
"I don't know whether Leader will allow me to open it I mean it's not official business…but oh well what he doesn't know won't hurt him!"
Grinning wickedly I begin to snake my way out of the room with Hidan in tow, making our way towards the portal entrance. Our shadows flickering on the walls of the base, having to go down many floors to get to the point in which a meagre half day ago I was entering for the first time with Siobhan. I have the perfect idea of what to do for our prank on Itachi but I'm going to need some outside help, from our special year ten friends Kayleigh and Michelle.
Heart pounding in my chest as Hidan fires up the mechanism which is started by a unique code of chakra, the chakra of any one of the 12 members of the Akatsuki (this now includes me and Siobhan) any other chakra that is inputted into the device will have no effect and only exhaust the attacker.
Shock courses through my body as a hand is placed on my shoulder, turning abruptly I see a smiling Siobhan, obviously intent on accompanying me on this particular mission. Embracing her in a warm hug this being the second time I've seen her since we arrived here, she was there for the owning of Itachi a couple of hours ago but that's all, I suppose (like me) she's been teaching all day.
"Hey Siobhan, how are you?"
"I'm alright thanks, been spending a lot of time with Deidara and Itachi…not so much of Itachi since you embarrassed him in front of everyone. He was really upset about that you know, that was really mean of you…but I have to admit it was terribly funny."
"I know, that's why I did it. He needs bringing back to earth and I'm the girl who's going to do it! Now are you coming with me to get a few things from our world and then come back?"
"Well it depends on what we're going to get, I mean we already have more clothes here than we could ever have at home, we have food and electrical stuff…"
"Siobhan, Siobhan, Siobhan so naïve I mean I never said we were getting material possessions I thought we could get some friends and bring them back."
"Ohhh…who?"
"Kayleigh and Michelle."
"O.K."
Turning back to Hidan who I just totally blanked for the past five minutes, he stands calmly with his three tiered scythe strapped to his back. I have to admit that is one cool weapon and I would kill for a chance to wield it I'll have to ask him some time, he'll probably say yes but-
"Hey, Abi-kawaii are you ready because my chakra won't keep this open of long, get who you need and come back…quickly." Hidan growls
"Sorry Hidan, gossiping to much there. Come on Siobhan you get Michelle and I'll get Kayleigh! Operation 'get the year tens' commences! Go, Go, Go!!"
"Abi, you need to calm down." Siobhan sighs
Jumping through the portal I give out a cry of triumph as my feet land on the English room floor, fortunately there was nobody in there at the time because it would seem very weird and we'd also have to stay in this world…wait. Pause. Rewind. We have to stay here if we're caught…crapola I didn't think of that. Sneaking further into the room I signal to Siobhan to be quiet, she gives the general sign of 'Yes I know you Muppet' back. Pretending to cry I remember that our time is limited to the amount of chakra that Hidan has, which is (no offence to Hidan) not very much now.
Out of the room we creep, down to the break out area where our group hangs around every break…I can see Kayleigh's pony tail and Michelle's new black hair shining in the light.
A thought just occurred to me that how are we supposed to get their attention without the others noticing? Oh crap we really haven't thought this through have we…? Looking desperately at Siobhan for an idea, what she does next horrifies me.
"Hey Michelle! Kayleigh!"
"Huh?" They both ask in unison, turning from their seats on the floor to see us
"Come with us!" Siobhan yells
"Alright!" Michelle yells back jumping up like a Jack-In-The-Box grabbing her bags and following Siobhan up to the English room which is now a crime scene for the police
"Um…yeah Kayleigh would you come with me? We have something really interesting to show you."
"Well that's a bit weird but O.K. then."
Picking up her stuff Kayleigh soon joins us on our weird quest to the English room…all I can hope is that Hidan's chakra has been able to keep open the portal for this long. It's only been about five minutes but I don't know whether time is the same here because it's break time at school now but it's 10:30pm back at the base it's like a 12 hour difference…well round about. Who's counting?
Smiling as I feel like a normal girl again, wandering through school. I never thought that I'd be a teacher but here I am 14 and a teacher of like 20-50 year olds, a university lecturer. Cool beans.
Arriving at the room, Siobhan pushes the door open to reveal the unchanged room…well Mr.Bottom was no longer on the floor and the chairs were a little more out of place. It's dark, the blinds are drawn but they were broken to begin with, a little chink of light drifts through the rip in the blind…
ARGGGHH!!
"Abi, what the hell is that?!"
"Um, yeah that's Hidan's head sticking out of the wall…not helpful." I growl
"Come on, we need to get through now I don't think that Hidan's chakra can last much longer. Michelle, Kayleigh through the board please." Siobhan gestures
"Why are we going through a board? Did the kidnapping mess with your brain man?" Kayleigh asks looking at us as if we're aliens from the planet Zog or something
"Well, it may have messed with Abi's brain but mine's fine." Siobhan jokes
Hidan's head growls at me to hurry up and I basically have to shove Kayleigh in front of me through the portal, the portal makes my body feel like it's tingling, like it's trembling with some unseen force. This is probably because of the channel of chakra being poured onto the mechanism to keep it working, keep the link between our worlds open. If it closes while we're in it what will happen…will we get splinched like in Harry Potter? Ah!
Before I have time to develop this sinister thought in my brain we emerge the other side, looking at the familiar black my eyes have got used to surveying for the past day I realise that something new has been added. Two black shapes stand barring the doorway; oh crap…I hope Hidan wasn't caught, what would happen if he was? Why am I asking so many questions in my mind? There another one! Peering more closely at the forms I realise one is Kisame and one is Hidan, trying to keep Michelle and Kayleigh behind us until we can be totally sure that everything is O.K.
"Hey, PSST Hidan…is everything alright?" I whisper
"Oh you're back, yes everything's fine I asked Kisame to help with the chakra input as he has a hell of a lot more than me. Damn him. Well who have we here? Only one I thought you were bringing back two…who are you? Michelle or Kayleigh?"
"Who the hell are you? Where the hell am I?" Kayleigh asks frantically
"Uh this is Kayleigh. Kayleigh this is Hidan, he's a member of the Akatsuki an evil organisation, you know from Naruto…? Hidan, Kayleigh is my friend who writes the best stories ever, she should be your new English teacher, I'll ask Pien!" I smile
"Where's Michelle?" Siobhan asks
"Oh God." I sigh
Frantically searching the nearby area with my white orbs I quickly find Michelle walking up to Kisame. Looking on with a morbid terror of what she could do, the worst thing possible happens as Michelle approaches him, pokes him in the arm to get his attention then proceeds to call him:
"Hey fishy, fishy, fishy fish!"
"AHHH!! Kisame I'm so sorry about her!" I yelp running over to her pulling her away and giving her to Siobhan to hold, just to keep her away from her potential death by samhada. The glare that Kisame was giving Michelle was enough to melt the flesh of her face, giving him a swift hug while reassuring him that he was not a ugly monster and that I did find him cute. The glare from before is replaced by a smile showing his pearly white teeth, glinting menacingly in the light, giving the wrong impression of 'I'm a scary monster' instead of 'I'm cute and actually a nice guy'.
Hearing the hushed tones of scolding from the corner, I sigh a breath of relief that Michelle is under control…for now at least. So far I have to say that their presence here has been more of a hindrance than a help, however the day is almost over and we have the whole day tomorrow to explain the situation to them. Hopefully they'll understand…Kayleigh doesn't seem too happy with us though. Letting out a huge sigh I begin to make my way to my room, leaving the happy gathering in the hall to talk and discuss what the hell they're doing here. Feeling a worried pair of eyes on my back I turn to see a nervous Zetzu waiting to talk to me, by the door to my room, fixing a smile on my face I gesture for him to follow me inside.
The walls seem to radiate warmth, a glow that made me feel at home even though I'm not. Turning to Zetzu I pat the bed next to me as I plop down, choosing to decline my offer probably because he either wouldn't fit or would be too embarrassed to sit next to me, in case he hit me with his bud.
"Zetzu-kun, what's wrong?"
"It's just that…I know that you miss your family, I can see it in your eyes, and I just want you to know that- GET ON WITH IT,"His black side interrupts "well I'm always here for you if you need anyone to…you know talk to or something."
"Oh Zetzu-kun! Thank you so much…I need someone I can talk to, especially because the other well, lets say are interested in me as more than just a friend."
"Um, no offence but if I took an interest in you that way, it would end up very bad…for you. I do think that you are very cute but, heh I am old…older than you'd think. It wouldn't work…also you look so yummy I'd probably eat you!"
"Hahahahahahaha, alright then Zetzu-kun! Thank you so much but now I think I have to go to sleep, to prepare for lessons tomorrow."
"Of course, I do believe that you have me tomorrow for English class…I'll be expecting you to be punctual sensei."
"I will be there on time, however I can be late and you cannot complain but if you are late I can sling you in detention, mwhaha!"
"sigh another Tobi, shall I make sure that you are not disturbed tonight."
"Zetzu-kun you don't have to be this nice to me, no body does…I'm grateful for it but, I can't imagine why you are being this friendly."
"We are being friendly because we all know what it's like to be ripped away from family, to be alone, to be superfluous however we are being nice to you also because we want to, also because most of the younger men want to 'get to know you more'"
"OH!" I blush terribly as I realise the double entendre there
"Do not worry, you have your Hidan to protect you, in fact he's been in here the past five minutes."
"WHAT?! Hidan come out NOW!" I yell jumping up from the bed practically shaking with anger
"Um, hey Abi-kawaii." Hidan blushes as he emerges from the wardrobe but his blush soon changes to a wide smirk as he holds up a pair of black lacy undergarments on his scythe.
A dark blush creeps across my cheeks as I realise that they're mine, my ones that I'd been wearing previously but had gone in the wash at home…wait they should still be there then. Did he go into my house?! I look at his feet and I see a bag packed full of clothes and toys, books, DVD's and all of the stuff from my house…he has been in there!
"You went into my house!!"
"Yes I did, I had to pick out some choice outfits for you, I also picked up some adorable underwear with a little yellow thing on them…I don't know who he is but they look cute."
"Ah! My Sponge bob stuff! Ah! My teddy bears! Ah! My embarrassing baby photos!"
"Embarrassing baby photos? Ohhh….I'll have to go back and get them." Hidan chuckles darkly
"NO!" I scream as I jump in front of him to bar his way to the door
"Ok honey if you really don't want me to leave."
"Ok sick teme you can go now."
"Aw you know you like it."
"No not really."
Knock!
A harsh rap sounds on my door, sending a little jump through my body. Trying to regain some of my composure, while glaring at Hidan who's laughing at my jumping reaction. The door swings open to reveal a dishevelled Kayleigh holding some bedding and a new set of clothes, her appearance has changed also, short black bangs now frame her face, her eyes glow a warm amber colour and her skin has become paler (similar to mine).
"Kayleigh? Are you sharing a room with me?" I ask
"Apparently…I still don't know what the hell I'm doing here…but I'll ask you in the morning, I'm tired. What's this guy doing in here?"
"Oh, we were just…talking and he was dropping off some more of my clothes. Hidan's just leaving."
"I'll be watching over you tonight…" Hidan chuckles
"Eww…perv." I and Kayleigh announce in unison
Getting behind Hidan and pushing him out of the room was harder than I expected, his muscles both showing and hidden fight against me. Growling I put all my force behind him and mange to make him leave the room, eventually, after about 10 minutes. Behind me Kayleigh sets up her bed for the night, sleeping on the floor next to my bed, clambering into bed I snuggle up under the covers. At least the Akatsuki have good taste in decoration, the bed covers are so soft and inviting that I can't help but feel myself drift into a deep sleep. Dreaming of the next day…and how eventful it could be.
