"We're here, hmm."
No answer.
"Arashi? Kawauso, hmm?"
Still nothing. Deidara landed the swan and Sasori went over to go and check the two captives. Who were fast asleep, might I add. Grumbling to himself, Sasori severed the ropes and none too gently shook them awake.
"I STILL CAN'T SEE." Kawauso yelled. "Shut up, hmm." Deidara ordered and grabbed the otter by his scruff. Sasori wrapped his tail around Arashi and dragged her behind him.
"What the- THIS ISN'T HOW YOU TREAT A LADY." She yelled. "You're not much of a lady, hmm." Deidara said. Kawauso snickered. "Says the cross dresser." Deidara frowned and pulled on Kawauso's fur. "Ouch, man! I gotta keep that clean you know!"
They began walking/being dragged down a grassy hillside. They came to a lake with an island in the middle. From the island, there were a few wisps of smoke rising up to the sky. By using the chakra in their feet, the two men walked across the water with ease. But Arashi and Kawauso on the other hand…
"GAH! WET!" Arashi flailed her arms as Sasori's tail dropped too low and a she skimmed the water. Kawauso, however, seemed very excited.
"Oh my god! Water! Can I go for a dip?" Deidara growled at the blindfolded otter. "No, hmm."
"Please?"
"No, I said."
"Oh come on!"
Deidara rolled his eyes and silently made his way to the island. Soon, they were off the grass and climbing up the island's grassy slope. Arashi, still dripping wet, did not seem amuse. And Kawauso was pouting.
Deidara checked to make sure no one was watching. He then made a hand sign, and his ring glowed momentarily. The ground before them melted as the genjustu wore off, revealing a tunnel to God knows where. Without a sound, Sasori and Deidara jumped into the tunnel and began walking. Now was the time that Arashi and Kawauso started freaking out.
"Okay, seriously. Where are you taking us?" Arashi asked. She received no answer. "Please? … OH COME ON." She began to thrash about. "Stop squirming and I'll tell you," ordered Sasori. When she stopped, Sasori cleared his throat. "We'll tell you when you get there."
Arashi and Kawauso groaned. The rest of their not so lovely trek down the long dark hallway was silent again, aside from their footsteps that echoed off the walls. Sasori released Arashi and Deidara let go of Kawauso's scruff.
"We're here." Sasori announced. "Follow us and don't say anything." The duo began to walk down a path.
"STILL BLINDFOLDED." Arashi yelled. Kawauso walked into a wall, proving her point. Grumbling to himself, Deidara untied the blindfolds quickly. "Okay, hmm. Hurry up."
Arashi blinked as her eyes adjusted to the dark light. They were in a cave in an opening, rocks jutting out from the ground. There was another hallway to her left, and Arashi could see light filtering at the end.
"Well we're here, right? So what exactly are we getting dragged into?" She asked.
"Hurry up and we'll explain." Sasori told her as he began sliding down the other hallway. Kawauso followed without a word, but Arashi shot Deidara a glare before following Sasori. Deidara returned her glare by sticking out his tongue immaturely. She rolled her eyes and walked faster to get away from him. But Deidara wasn't about to give in that easily.
He walked right beside her, and when Arashi tried to avoid her, he kept following her. Sighing, she gave up.
"Okay, what do you want?" She asked, eye twitching.
"You wanted to know what you got you and your pet over there into, right, hmm."
Arashi's eyes widened, and she nodded.
"Alright, hmm. Sasori and I are members of Akatsuki."
"Aka-whata?"
"Akatsuki you moron. A criminal organization, hmm. Up until now, we didn't have a medical ninja, so know you're stuck with us, hmm."
Arashi groaned. "So I'm stuck with you two and Kawauso?"
Kawauso glared at her. "No." Sasori said. She raised an eyebrow. "Your stuck with the two of us an eight other people."
Before she could scream and fall to the ground in tears, they entered the end of the hallway and walked into a light. Instead of crying, Arashi stared at the cave, lit brightly by light bulbs strung on the ceilings. They were in a circular clearing with a couch and TV. The floor was carpeted, and there were two hallways at either side of the clearing.
"Great, now let's get you two to Leader's room, hmm." Deidara began walking to the left hallway. "Hold on!" Arashi protested. The partners ignored her and kept walking. "Who says that I wanted to be a part of a coldhearted criminal organization?"
"Do you have anywhere else to go, hmm?" Deidara asked her without meeting her eyes. Arashi didn't answer this, but decided to shut her mouth. They walked past a series of doors and reached one at the end of the hallway. Deidara knocked on the door.
"Oh god, what now? Come in." A voice said. Deidara opened the door and they entered an office. An orange haired man sat in a chair. His eyes had ripple like patterns and he was covered in piercings. He was focused on a Rubix cube. Deidara pointed towards two seats in front of the desk. Arashi and Kawauso sat down while Deidara and Sasori stood behind them.
Finally, the Leader snarled and slammed down the unfinished cube. Kawauso reached to play with it, but Arashi smacked his arm. "Okay, hurry up. Who are these people… And otter."
"The girl is Arashi and the otter is named Kawauso." Sasori explained. Leader sighed, "And why did you bring them."
"Arashi here has medical abilities. She also has Orochimaru's ring so we figured we could recruit her."
"Very well. What can you do, Arashi."
Arashi groaned, having to go through this again. She explained her abilities as did Kawauso. Leader nodded. "Very well, you're in."
"WHAT?!" Everyone except Sasori yelled. "That easily? Sir Leader-" Deidara started. Sir Leader shot him a glare, and he shut up. Leader reached for an intercom. He pressed the red button and yelled into it, "EVERYONE! MEETING IN THE LIVING ROOM." He then stood up and motioned the four to follow him.
"Hey, is your name really just Leader?" Kawauso asked as they exited the door.
"No, it's Pein." He answered.
Kawauso began to giggled, but Arashi kicked him before he could say anything. They made their way to the clearing they were in before, except now it was full of… well. Freaks.
A few of them were leaning against the walls, while some were on the couch. None of them looked too happy, except for one, but his face was covered by an orange mask. All of them, except for the orange masked one, wore uniforms matching Deidara, Sasori, and Pein as well. There were six in all.
Six? Arashi thought. Didn't Deidara say there were eight more people?
"Everyone, these are our newest members. Arashi, the girl, and Kawauso, the otter." Pein explained.
"Why the hell are we going to have a freaking fur coat as a member?" One of them with slicked down silver hair asked.
Kawauso hid behind Arashi. "He's not a member, he's just Arashi partner." Pein said.
Arashi said nothing. She was too freaked out. Why? There was no woman in sight. All guys… and Kawauso!
"Okay, I'm going back to my office- Wait. Where's Konan?" Pein looked around the room. "KONAN!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming." A bored face. Light seemed to pour down from the heavens as a blue haired woman entered the living room. "Geez, Pein. Do you always have to-"
She stopped when she saw Arashi. Arashi stared back. "Oh my god." Konan whispered. She ran and gave Arashi a hug. Arashi hugged her back, and the two fell to the ground, sobbing.
"MY HEROINE." Konan and Arashi sobbed.
Everyone else stared while Sir Leader made his way back to the office.
"Okay, stop with the lovefest already, hmm." Deidara ordered. Reluctantly, the woman broke up as Deidara began introducing everyone.
"Okay, the black haired guy with lines on his eyes is the asshole called Itachi Uchiha, hmm. He murdered his whole clan and such, hmm." Arashi stared at Itachi. He looked bored. He killed his whole clan? She caught sight of Kawauso, who looked unimpressed. The liar.
"And shark boy over there is Kisame, hmm. Don't touch his sword, Samehada. Ever. And-" Deidara was cut off when Kawauso ran over and started chewing on Kisame's leg. "YAY! Fish, food at last." He grinned. Arashi walked over, smacked him, and dragged him away.
"… And the guy with the orange lollipop mask is-"
"TOBI! And he's a good boy!" "Tobi" squeaked.
Deidara rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever, hmm. Okay the other masked guy is Kakuzu and he's a money hoarding freak, hmm." Deidara ducked as threads were shot in his direction.
"I'm Akatsuki's treasury." Kakuzu explained.
Deidara sighed and stood back up. "That guy over there is Hidan, hmm. He's a loud-mouthed idiot. Ignore everything he says about that Jashin guy. In fact, just ignore him, hmm."
Hidan shot out a few choice words before Deidara continued. "Okay then, hmm. Plant-head is Zetsu… He eats flesh so… Yeah."
Arashi stepped back a bit.
"And he's schizophrenic. He talks to himself a lot, hmm. And finally, our previously only female member, Konan, hmm." Konan smiled at Arashi. "She's with Pein." Deidara whispered.
Kawauso yawned. "That's great. So- OH MY GOD." Sasori had opened himself up, revealing a red-head who stepped out of the shell. "SASORI EVOLVED. No wait. HE GAVE BIRTH." Arashi punched Kawauso hard on the skull.
"You idiot, hmm. That's his true form. He normally hides in Hiruko, the puppet, all day." Deidara said. The other members began going down the hallway, Deidara and Sasori one of them. Arashi blinked, looking very lost.
"Don't worry, I'll give you the tour." Konan chirped. "This way!" She skipped down the left hallway, Arashi following her. Kawauso groaned and rubbed his head.
"These are our rooms. Itachi's, Kisame's, Deidara's, Sasori's, Hidan's, Kakuzu's, Tobi's (whose door was badly painted), Zetsu's don't go in there, mine, Pein's is at the end and this-" She stopped at a door across from her own room. "- is your room."
Arashi opened the door and entered her room. It was nothing special, a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and a closet. There was another door on the left side.
"Yeah, sorry for the bad quality. Kakuzu's a money hoarder. Oh, that door leads to the infirmary." Konan explained as she opened the infirmary's door. It had a few beds and cabinets with a few supplies. Nothing special. They probably didn't get hurt often though.
"Okay, now to the other hallway." Konan led them back down the hallway and into another one. There were two bathrooms- a men's and a women's, a kitchen, a library, and a door at the end that led outside.
"Well, that's everything. Dinner's in an hour so… Yeah." With that, she walked back to her room, leaving Arashi and Kawauso alone.
It was dead silent until Kawauso broke the silence. "So now what?"
Yeah it's short, but oh well.
