Heya guys! Me again, so sorry for the long wait, but here's chapter 6. Little bit more mature then past chapters, though not by much.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Naruto, despite how much I wish for it to be true. THANK YOU! And please read on. :)
The foyer was so grand in expenditure; you could see the vast riches that were spent on this room. Marble floor glistened under a great chandelier that was surrounded by two great stairways quilted in velvet. Great granite statues and exquisite paintings lined the room, adding to the feel of sheer elegance. Despite the grand chandelier, the room was still quite dark, and it took a moment for my eyes to completely adjust to the change from outside to, dimly lit, inside.
My knees started to grow weak, as I felt so out of place. I looked around in awe as Kara came up beside me to lean on. She was quite disgustingly wet and soppy which brought my attention to the two of us. We were completely drenched, and now that I wasn't moving, I realised how cold it was. As if to prove a point, a sneeze racked through my body, echoing loudly around the great hall.
Once I'd stopped swaying and steadied my body, my arms automatically came up to wrap around myself in an attempt to warm up, I caught Hidan wondering back towards me. He held out a hand towards me and spoke, his words echoing louder than my sneeze, but maybe that was just me. "Amaya, are you coming, or what?"
I nodded in response to his question, and followed after him once he'd turned and continued down the hall beside one of the grand staircases. My teeth were soon chattering, giving away my chill and Hidan looked at me over his shoulder. "Are you alright? 'Cause you certainly don't sound it..." I simply shrugged and looked away, before I carefully asked him something, certain that I wouldn't stutter from the cold.
"Hidan," I began carefully, "Is there a bathroom or something nearby? A shower would make me feel better..." He stopped and looked at me carefully. I nearly walked into him, which made him smirk, before he nodded and led the way to the closest bathroom.
He stopped outside a cream door and said, "In there. I'll wait here for you if you want." I nodded and walked inside. The bathroom was huge, bigger than any I could have imagined; which is an impressive feat, considering my own bathroom is very big in comparison to others.
Black marble floor, with an impressively large bath laid into the middle of it, an actual toilet in black marble situated a little ways down from a urinal in the same composite (the toilet's closer to the wall). On the other side of the room in the corner was a layout of cupboards; cream with black granite tops, one with a marbled sink inlaid into the top, with a mirror above it. Toiletries cluttered the counter tops, but in an organised way, with cream towels that were lined on the wall next to the cabinets on a radiated towel rail.
Just down from this was an enclosure shower that must have been about 6ft in width and 5ft in length from the wall. The shower head was just as big, with about an inch from each of the frosted glass sides. The black tiles that lined the room made for an even more exquisite look.
Hidan had reached around the door for me to find the light switch and turn the lights on for me. The lights were huge and put in exactly the right places to give off the perfect amount of light. I quickly dashed inside and shut the door behind me, leaving the lock and immediately went for the toilet.
After the long journey, this girl was busting for a pee, and the cold wetness wasn't really helping much. Once I'd finished and washed my hands, I striped out of my wet clothes and sealed them in another scroll I'd brought before getting new, dry clothes out of another and placing them, with my clean underwear on the counter by the sink. I also got my shampoo and conditioner out and placed them by the shower with my flannel and custom soap bar.
Despite my nakedness, I was beginning to warm up and I found that the bathroom had under floor heating. I was looking for how to turn the shower on when I slipped on a puddle that my drenched hair had left. I landed heavily on my back and bumped my head a little, and a long, loud string of curses flew from my mouth. I laid back and breathed deeply trying to calm and steady myself when I heard the door open and Hidan came in.
He crouched above my head and once I'd opened my eyes, he asked if I needed any help. "No, shit." Was my ever brilliant reply, of course. He smirked at me and moved around me slightly to pick me up and put me on my feet. I swayed a little once he let go and wondered over to the door to lock it. Just as my legs were about to give again, he was there to hold me steady again.
I looked at him with swimmy eyes and met his brilliant magenta orbs. I was feeling feint, and he knew it, judging from the concerned look on his face. His silver hair was a mess as opposed to the usual slicked back, and I decidedly liked it.
"What else did you need help with?" he asked gently. I had to blink a bit to focus before the question registered and I tried to answer. My head was really starting to hurt by now, and I moved a hand up to my head to push on it to try and relieve some of the pain. A pained grimace settled on my face before I even attempted to answer.
"Can you turn the shower on, please?" I asked painfully. He nodded back and walked me into the enclosed shower space and set me down, putting my things in with me, shutting the door and going to the control panel to turn it on. Immediately, the warm water began to beat down on me, soothing my now very sore body. I sighed in contentedness as the water warmed up to hot, but not scalding. I barely noticed a now naked Hidan also stepping into the shower until he was kneeling behind me offering to wash my back and hair. I nodded and sighed happily while he pushed my hair off my back and lathered soap into my flannel and over my back.
He was thorough if nothing else, but he was also being incredibly gentle. My back felt incredible once it had been thoroughly cleaned. I leaned my head back against him, considering how close we were this was a simple task. "You feeling alright now?" he asked me as he gently massaged my shoulders and lower back. I sighed and nodded happily, until his hand brushed my hips and I hissed in a breath. "You've bruised here where you fell." He told me, brushing my hips again and running his hands up my back to my shoulders. I could feel the bruises forming, so I knew he wasn't lying but I wasn't too happy about it either.
I dropped my head forward again as he reached for my shampoo, blueberry of course, and began to do my hair for me. He made no sound of annoyance as he worked through my lengthy hair, but I did pick up a snigger once his fingers began lathering the shampoo into my scalp and I breathed in a shaky breath. The scalp massage was spectacular, I nearly fell asleep and cracked my head again, but Hidan caught me, luckily, and sat me between his now splayed legs so that I could use him as a sort of support. His knees were crooked up as a precaution in case I slipped again, and I was thankful.
"Hidan?" I questioned quietly. I continued once he gave a small hum of acknowledgement, "How can you do this so well?" I asked. He chuckled a little while his hands continued to massage the shampoo right the way through my hair.
"I used to do this for my little sister. Her hair wasn't as long as yours, but it was close..." At least he was honest. I couldn't help but wonder what happened to her, but I let it go. "She died. Fell ill with something and nobody knew what it was or anything. She was only 9. I was 15, and I'd pretty much raised her... It was the one time where I'd been truly devastated. After that I raced the ranks and got to jounin by the time I was 17. Anything after, well, you can guess, or the others will tell you." I hummed sadly before turning my head slightly to glance at him.
His hair was being plastered to his face and he looked... sad, for lack of any other word. His eyes were lowered though still concentrated on my hair. "I'm sorry for your loss, Hidan. Thank you for telling me." I leaned back against once I'd said this and a genuine, sad smile crossed his features, before he dropped his head against mine and closed his eyes, a single tear leaving his right eye. Right then, I think my heart stopped. The cruel, sadistic, animal of a man... was crying for the loss of someone dear to him from over 7 years ago.
I swallowed the raising lump in my throat and turned fully in his lap to hug him. He accepted it and just held me there for a small time, before lifting his head, smiling and turning me to finish doing my hair. Surprisingly, it didn't take too long for my hair to be completely cleaned and conditioned, but then came trying to clean the rest of me. Hidan helped me to my feet and handed me my soap and flannel. I did my arms and armpits, but when I started on my crotch, bum and the tops of my legs, my feet got caught up and I fell, Hidan turned and grabbed my arm but I ended up pulling him down with me.
As we fell, he pinned me to his body to his body with one hand and put his other arm out to cushion the blow. I landed first, though softer than earlier and Hidan followed though he kept himself off me, seeing as he'd braced for impact. I groaned a little, though not sure why; probably the position. Somehow we'd managed to land so that he was positioned between my legs. I raised my hands up his chest and over his shoulders through what felt like no intention of my own, before my hands clasped around his neck. As if he'd known what I was about to try and do, he dipped his head to mine and closed to gap between us, our lips clasped together and I felt like liquid fire was pounding through my veins, as my eyes closed.
I untied my hands and as one hand wrapped through his hair, the other travelled down his back to just above his butt before I dragged my claws straight back up it. He lifted his head and sucked in a harsh rugged breath before growling and coming back down for another, hotter, deeper kiss, the shower now all but forgotten. My body moved on instinct, my legs winding up his own to wrap around his waist. I hissed when he pulled his mouth away from my own so that he could kiss a path from my chin to my neck where he bit me and I pulled his head closer.
I could feel him grinning against my flesh as I groaned in anticipation and agony. He trailed his kisses down further to my breasts. He raised an eyebrow when he noticed the hickey on my right one before he set to work on sucking and nibbling my nipples, giving each one equal attention before moving to the flesh of my left breast and giving it a harsh bite and suck. I could feel the hickey forming already, but as I raised my chest to him, he licked the bruise affectionately, almost apologetically.
I groaned again when he moved his mouth back up towards my ear, licking at the lobe before he whispered hoarsely "Mine" into my ear. My lip quivered as I whimpered before his lips covered my own again. He was growling, deep in his throat, I could tell easily from the reverberations in his chest. My hand unclenched from his hair and travelled down his back with the other before reaching his arse and groping it, pulling him to me almost desperately.
He was definitely alive, that I could tell you in no uncertain terms. I could feel the hard length of his member on the inside of my right thigh. He'd cupped his hands in my hair, and by all the gods, it felt so damn good. He relinquished one hand to cup my face affectionately before moving it down the length of my body to cup my right hip against him. I groaned loudly, hoarsely as he rubbed against me. I couldn't take it anymore, I needed him. My mind was reeling, and when he pulled away again I couldn't help but whimper, but as he travelled down my body, pulling his other hand out of my hair and down to my other hip, I couldn't hold in the groan that followed as he crossed the threshold of my pubis.
I had to think how lucky it was that I'd shaved before getting all the dead boys as Hidan's tongue licked enticingly at my womanhood. He clasped his mouth around the small bud of nerves and sucked fervently, spurred on as I bucked my hips up and clasped my hands in his hair to pull him closer. I felt him smirk, and as his breath cascaded over my clit I gasped and arched, pulling him back up to my face to kiss him passionately as he positioned himself at my entrance. He pushed in lightly and gasped at my tightness, while I moved my face away from him to openly grimace at the pain.
He saw and stopped everything. His breathing was still ragged but he slowly moved himself out of me and sat back and his feet. He looked pained, almost guilty, which I thought strange. I laid there on my back on the floor of the shower trying to get my breathing back under control. After a little time, I rolled onto my stomach before getting onto my hands and knees to try and get up. My legs were wobbly, even like this, so to keep my balance, I separated my legs a little, only to hear a very sharp intake of breath behind me. I hadn't even thought of Hidan being behind me, but I didn't really care too much. The throb of desire and slight pain between my legs stopped that.
Hidan stood up behind me and offered me a helping hand over my right shoulder, which I took with my left hand. He pulled me up in a spin, and I'd have fallen again if he hadn't steadied me. I looked up into his hurt face, met his eyes, and he said three words that made me numb. "I didn't know." He really was guilty. I stepped away from him and shook my head before turning my back to him and clutching my arms in my hands, as if trying to hold myself together.
While he couldn't see, I let my fear into the open and it mingled with my sadness. My frame trembled as I cried silently. I grabbed my soap and flannel and finished cleaning myself off as the rest of the shower passed in silence.
Once I was clean I got out of the shower, initially leaving Hidan in there, grabbed a towel and walked over to the sink cabinets, drying myself down as I went. Once I got there, I used my hair drying jutsu, seeing as it's faster than an actual hairdryer, and then got myself dressed. I was wearing a pair of black denim short shorts over some slightly longer fishnet shorts, an amethyst purple boob tube under a ¾ length fishnet top where the sleeves finished just past the elbow, and my custom boots. I put my hair in a high ponytail, where it surprisingly stayed straight, before putting my kunai pouch on my right thigh, grabbing everything else and leaving the room, just as Hidan was exiting the shower. While I was outside, I tied my hitai-ate around my head, leaving the long blue ends to hang with my hair.
I waited for Hidan for lack of anything better to do, seeing as I had no idea where I was headed or anything of the sort, but while I was waiting, quite the strange guy (?) came up to me. He had long blonde hair in a half up style with a long fringe over his left eye. The eye that he had on show showed a brilliant blue colour.
"So, who are you, Un?" he asked. I introduced myself for what felt like the 1000th time that day. A decidedly ugly look settled on his face when I told him I was of Uchiha blood, though not a full blood. "Gods damned Uchiha's, Un." He practically spat, before stalking off somewhere. Hidan come out then and started shouting abuse down the hall to the blonde.
"I take it he doesn't like Uchiha's?" I questioned boredly. Hidan lifted an eyebrow and smirked before replying.
"Figured that one out quickly... Deidara's only here because he lost a fight to Itachi, so now he's got this grudge against Uchiha's. Stupid really." He told me. We both laughed as we heard a distinctive 'Fuck off, Hidan, Un.' from down the hall. "Come on then, better get you and the wolf to Pein. Believe me, the sooner; the better." Hidan quickly said before heading off down the hall the way Deidara had came from. Kara and I followed and kept pace well and soon enough we were at a grand set of mahogany doors. Hidan knocked loudly for us before a loud echoing 'Enter.' was heard.
Hidan nodded for Kara and I to enter and then shut the door after us. So, he was going to wait outside? Okay, then. The room was dark, and without even thinking about it, my sharingan flew to life and I could see. Across the room was a tall man with spiky, Naruto-like hair, but in orange, with ringed purple eyes, and many piercings looking back at me.
"So, you are Uchiha, are you?" he questioned in a commanding tone.
"I am of Uchiha, Nara, and Inuzuka blood. My father; of Uchiha and Nara blood, and my mother; of Inuzuka decent. I am the cousin of Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, Inuzuka Hana, and Inuzuka Kiba."
"Why do you wish to join us, and what have you to offer us in power?" He asked next.
"I joined because my time in Konohagakure had ended when I saved Hidan, brought Kakuzu and Sasori back from the dead, and completely defected when I killed my so called comrades in cold blood. I killed my best friend long ago, when Itachi turned traitor in order to frame him for her death, also. As you heard, I can bring the dead back to life... completely. Not some edo-tensei crap. This is with the help of a demon sealed within my body. I am incredibly quick and agile, both mentally and physically and was in ANBU by 15, only to be demoted back to jounin within months because they feared that I'd be like my cousin."
There was a silence, almost contemplative, before I broke it again. "My demon is not one of the tailed beasts, so I cannot be used in your greater scheme of things because of him." Pein's eyes closed and he nodded as if he were verifying all the information provided for him before he opened his eyes and looked back at me.
"You will address me as Pain-sama or sir. In the meantime you will be sent on mission's with other groups in hopes of making their attempts to capture and obtain more likely to go without a synch. Understood?"
"Understood, Pein-sama." He nodded.
"You will stay here until you know your way around and only then will you be sent on missions." He finished the meeting on that note, disapearing into the shadows of the room.
"Yes, Sir." And then I left. Once we were out of the door and it was shut again, I let go of the breath that I didn't even know I'd been holding in.
"So, you're in, right?" Hidan asked nervously. I smiled and then nodded, only to laugh when Hidan let out the breath he'd been holding in and smile. "Right then, let's get you settled in. Come on; let's go get your room."
"Sure. They do have bathrooms on them right?" I asked while giving Kara a sidelong look. Hidan caught my drift and nodded, wrinkling his nose up at the same time. Just as we started heading off towards where my room apparently was, I saw a face I'd been dreaming of seeing for so long. Itachi stopped in his tracks when he saw me and the shock radiated through him. His partner, Kisame, started teasing him but as my cousin started making his way over to me, my eyes went wide with fear, my heartbeat jumped up a scale. My chest heaved with the mini heart attack I was having, before I turned and bolted. I didn't need to look back to know that they were all following me, trying to get me to stop.
Somewhere behind me I heard Hidan questioning how I could be so damn fast wearing these heavy boots, and I didn't know either. I ran past a mirror and glanced enough to see that my dark gray eyes had turned an eerie, icy blue and a dark resonating chakra was building behind my shoulders. I turned a corner and ran straight into Deidara. Hidan shouted at him to pin me, but I got up, somehow, and started off again.
I knew I didn't need to run from Itachi, he was family, but I couldn't control myself. I was scared of him, of everything and it was only just now starting to hit me. I heard explosions behind me and guessed that Deidara was using his weird clay stuff to try and blow me up. That did it, no stopping it now, and suddenly, my world went black as Karasu took over and the space erupted in evil laughter.
When I woke, I was tied to a bed with Kakuzu's threads. I was so sore, but at least I could see around the room. Someone had left the bedside lamp on, and it illuminated the four people in the room. Kakuzu was here, obviously, as were Itachi, Deidara and Hidan. Kara was laid on the floor, half under the bed.
Itachi was asleep in a chair that he'd brought up to the bed, as was Deidara, though he was asleep on the other side of the room in a beanie chair. Kakuzu was stood in the corner by the end of the bed, watching me, while Hidan had my head rested in his lap on top of a pillow. I guess he had been asleep but my waking and moving around must have woken him. He looked down at me and smiled a little when he noticed my eyes were back to normal, but then frowned when he recalled something. "Try not to move too much. We all had to fight you off and someone broke your back in three places, luckily though, that blow did knock you out. How're you feeling?" he asked.
I swallowed down my fear and replied hoarsely, "Sore. I feel like I just got tortured... again. And the scars may be barely noticeable or not even there on the skin, but my muscles and joints remember." I swallowed again before lifting my head to look at Kakuzu. "Can you let me go so I can determine how bad this is, please?" He grunted before releasing me.
I gasped in fresh air as my ribcage was released, my body arching as I did so. I heard Hidan cough nervously as I did this but didn't care. The first thing I did after that was sit up, to the shock of now everyone in the room, seeing as they were now all awake. Once my head stopped swimming, I got out of the bed and walked to a clear part of the room before bending, quite literally, over backwards into an arch where my back popped audibly and painfully sounding before going into a handstand.
I did push-ups like this, alternating between hands, much to the shock of pretty much everyone in the room, before bending both arms and pushing into almost a jump where I landed on my feet after a little spin. I smirked at the shocked faces around me and laughed until a horrible cough ripped through me, knocking my legs out from under me. As I sat there, coughing into my hands, the first person there to comfort me was Itachi, and the fear in his eyes betrayed his calmness. He slowly walked me into the bathroom and led me to the sink as it was closest and I wasn't being sick. The coughing subsided for a bit and as I looked in the mirror, I couldn't help the tears that slid down my face.
There was blood; so much blood. Itachi turned the tap on so I could wash my hands and reached for the cup that was by the toothbrush holder, filling it before giving it to me to gurgle with. As I spat the water out, I flinched at the sight. More blood. I filled my hands and rubbed around my mouth, washing the crimson from my alabaster skin. After a small time, I was clean and of alabaster cream again.
"How're you feeling now, Mijikai mono (1)?" Itachi asked me. We were sat on the floor by now, and he was brushing through my ponytail with the fingers of one hand while the other brushed up and down my back. I felt like I was 6 again. I sighed heavily with closed eyes before opening one eye to look at him.
"I feel like crap, Aneki." I replied honestly. I hummed sadly and closed my eye again, gently drifting off when there was a knock on the door.
"Itachi; how is she? Is she alright?" Hidan. I sighed at the same time Itachi did. While my cousin disclosed how I was feeling now, I started to drift off again, until Itachi shook me a little and told me that Kakuzu and Deidara had left, according to Hidan, and Kisame was sorry for breaking my back, apparently.
"What's with you and Hidan, what aren't you telling me about him?" Itachi asked me quietly so that said Jashinist wouldn't hear.
"I don't know... I mean, I think I might like him. He makes me feel things... good things, that set my blood and my body on fire... I feel like a woman when he does those things, and I just can't get enough. Its lust, I know, but I don't want it to stop..." Itachi looked shocked, which I guess would be understandable with all things considered. If the clan were still around, then it would've been Itachi's duty to make me feel this way as we would've had to marry. Itachi always thought that that would be sick, 'its wrong' were always his words.
His face fell once everything had registered. "Are you-" I cut him off with a sharp look and a nod before standing and motioning for him to leave. "This is your room, by the way." He said before leaving. On his way out he gave Hidan a steady look, a warning, to any who knew him. Hidan blinked, taken aback before a gracious smile settled on his features.
"My room's just across the hall, in case you wanted to know. Kakuzu's is just next door to mine. Um... Make yourself at home; I gotta go do a sacrifice. Jashin-Sama's gotta be pissed." He cheekily grinned before heading towards the door. "Oh, and do you know what that thing with Itachi was just now?" he asked, hand on the door knob.
"It was a warning. You hurt me; you've got him to answer to. He may be my cousin, but if the clan were still here then he'd also be my husband by now. It's the clan's answer to keeping the blood pure, though I truly am a mongrel." Hidan pulled a face, and I had to smirk. "Don't worry; Itachi hated the idea almost as much as I did, back then, but I didn't really know what that entailed at that age, where he did." I pulled a face to match Hidan's before laughing. He opened the door and stepped out. "Hidan!" I called just before the door shut; he opened it again to look at me.
I stepped closer until I was in the door frame before I spoke. "Thank you. For everything." He gave me a sceptical look, seeing as he had no idea what I was talking about. "You've done more than you know..." I said, edging closer to him. He bowed his head as I was finishing the sentence and as the last word escaped my lips, our mouths met for what was sadly the last time that day.
As he pulled away, he bowed his head to my ear and ushered a single word in which I felt like I died... again that day. "Mine." A breath escaped my mouth and as he really pulled away, I noticed how stormy his eyes were. "Goodnight... Amaya." And then he was gone, and I was scarlet.
Before I went to bed that night, I unsealed everything bit by bit, putting everything where it should be. I really took in the room. A cream carpet, with matching walls; a coffee coloured border on the walls, with matching curtains on the windows; I had wooden oak furniture. The chest of drawers was against the wall to the bathroom, tucked in the corner. Next to that was a matching T.V. stand with flat screen plasma T.V. and a collection of series box sets and DVD's. On the opposite wall in the corner was a large, mirrored wardrobe, built in and round the corner. Kakuzu had been stood before this. Next to that was a desk and bookshelf. This stood before the window, between the two opposing walls. Across from this was my bed, king size, oak, like everything else in the room, with matching side tables and columnar shoji lamps on each.
The beanie chair that Deidara had been sleeping in was on the floor in front of the T.V. and the chair Itachi had was now back in front of the desk. The bed had cream and coffee sheets on to match to room.
Once I'd done putting up my wall decorations, including the Uchiha clan fan above my bed and my other clan signs on the other walls, I put all my books away, and my DVD's, spare sheets and clothes, of course. My weapons, I placed beside my wardrobe. I also got Kara's dog bed and such out for her to sleep in, seeing as she's not supposed to sleep on the furniture, unless there's something wrong. Her bowl, I'd do tomorrow when we got breakfast. For now, food wise, we just had stuff that had been sealed for missions. And then we slept, and tomorrow probably could have waited.
Hello Lovelies. So so sorry, again for the looonnnggg ass wait for this. My laptop pretty much exploded and then I had to re-do everything, with writers block, so yeah, really annoying. Hopefully not too long to wait for the next chappie as I have a form of replacement for my laptop in the form of a netbook. :)
If there's anything you want to be put in here, aside from more OC's, then please by all means PM me or put into a review and I'll be happy to see what I can do.
(?) - Amaya initially isn't sure if Deidara's a guy or girl but realises once they start speaking.
(1) - Short stuff. Such a loving nickname.
So yeah, guys, let me know what you thought of this chapter.
