Divided Minds

Zetsu, the one man team of Akatsuki.

They hardly got along, but they worked together to achieve the organization's goals. But now, White Zetsu felt troubled. His partner was growing increasingly distracted, hesitant, and often zoned out.

Then, there were the dreams…

As Zetsu slept, they were divided, free to roam their dreamworld at their leisure.

But this was the first time White Zetsu, often dreaming about the reason he joined the Akatsuki…

Land…

But this was different…

It was always about the forest, a forest carved by the moonlight. The forest was empty, save one.

A lone figure stood in the center of the forest, lit by the moonlight, his long hair flowing in a slow wind.

His lean form still, as if basking in the moonlight. His yellow eyes glowing, casting a yellow pallor on his chest.

He suddenly looks up, and looks right at him. He looks surprised, but the look of surprise quickly melted into anger.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!? THIS IS MY FOREST!!!"

And then, he would wake up, but his half still asleep, but with a look of utter annoyance etched onto his sleeping face.

And in the morning, his half would not talk to him, nor even look at him.

They had never gotten along very well, but this was different.

Either Black Zetsu had lost it, or he was taking over…

The prisoners are still asleep…

They should make it to the Hideout by morning…
