Chapter 3: Close Call
Authors Note: In my opinion Tobi joined the Akatsuki before Sasori died, he was just never shown since he was going to be a replacement if one of the member's had died. Since Sasori died first, he was partnered to Deidara. It makes sense to me because Tobi is the "Original" founder of the Akatsuki and would want to keep an eye on Pein for any rebellious acts against him. Yes Tobi was the "Last" one to be "Recruited" for the Akatsuki, but that was just a hoax. Tobi had been in the group for a while, as well as Hidan, when the original story in NS began.
Anyways,
Updated and re-written! Please review and enjoy!
I do not own Naruto or any Original Characters.
"Let's call it Byuuzou, Yeah!" Deidara cheered, throwing a fist into the air.
"We aren't naming the fucking cat Explosion." Hidan snapped.
Tobi stood. "What about Ted?" His voice child-like and excited.
Itatchi looked at the silver ball of fur snoozing peacefully on the arm of a chair. Hidan's to be exact. "The feline is a female Tobi."
"It shouldn't even get a fucking name!"
"We can still name it Ted! Tobi likes Ted!" The masked man launched himself at the cat, ignoring Hidan's comment. His result to this was the animal hissing and swiping him across the- would be- face, leaving deep claw marks through the mask. One centimeter deeper and the orange ceramic swirls would be lying on the ground, completely ruined.
Hidan howled with laughter and pet the fluffed-up feline. "I'm starting to like the bitch."
"Pussy, Hm." Deidara pointed a finger into the air. He kept his eyes on his task of molding clay into a bird.
"What the fuck ever you Gay Lord."
The feline purred and hopped to the floor, padding to where Deidara was with the non-explosive clay. She un-sheathed a claw and began to write in the formable earth. "The hell is it doing to me clay Un?"
"Egak." Sasori looked over his shoulder. He was no longer in his suit, now in his puppet body. He did this several months after joining the Akatsuki; somewhere after all of the members so far were recruited. They were use to it, and didn't mind his puppet shell.
"I suppose that is what her name is." Itatchi pointed out, keeping his eyes on the book he was currently reading.
Hidan looked at the cat blankly. "The fuck kind of name is Egak?" He said simply.
"Food's done." Kisame called from the kitchen, turning the member's attention away from the furball. Everyone stood and walked into the room that Kisame had called from, sitting at a large table in the center of the room. Egak followed Hidan, of course.
Kage laughed mentally and snickered while following the Jashinist. 'I'm sure they will figure it out at some point. I'll be long gone before then though.'
Egak sat by Hidan's leg at the table. "Feed this to your cat." Kisame handed him a bowl full of raw meat to which he just plopped onto the ground in front of said animal, not caring at all how it landed. The feline sniffed the bowl and looked up. Itatchi and Sasori were watching her.
'Fire Style : Fangs of Flame Jutsu.'
Egak's fangs glistened slightly and momentarily before she bit into the meat. Itatchi looked at the red head next to him and nodded. Every bite into the meat would cook quickly by her fangs.
"Hidan," Itatchi said, catching his attention. "You're pet is using Jutsu."
'Shit!' Her body froze for a moment.
This caught everyone's attention as they lifted their heads to peer over to the silver animal. "The fuck are you talking about you damn Uchiha? It isn't my fucking pet!" Hidan looked down to the feline.
"He's serious." Sasori announced. "I'm not exactly sure what element, I can only guess fire, but it seemed to cook it's meal." He dabbed at his mouth with a supplied napkin and stood.
'Act normal.' Takimo growled.
"Mrrow?" Egac tilted her head at the Akatsuki closing in on her. Sasori picked her up behind the forearms and held her out to Hidan.
"Tobi wants to see!" The masked man jumped over the table and snatched the feline from the puppet-master. "Come on Kitty-Ted! Show Tobi and friends what-"
'Fire Style : Fangs of Flame Jutsu!'
This time, red and blue flames erupted and burst from Egak's mouth, though disappeared when her fangs sunk into Tobi's arm. His cloak burned off and fell to the ground in ash and the area where her fangs pierced glowed an unhealthy pink from the inside. Tobi's flesh began to boil and bubble, sizzling from the extreme heat-contact. The orange-masked man flailed his arm, attempting to get the animal off of him. "This hurts Tobi!"
Egak released her hold from his arm and sprinted back into the common room. Hidan, Kisame, Deidara and Sasori followed the feline while Kakuzu and Itatchi left to report to Pein.
She didn't mean for that to happen, but the sudden movement caused her to defend herself out of reaction. It was the first thing her body did, and she didn't have much time to stop it either. Kage heard the beast within her groan with annoyance.
"Just try to grab it Hidan. It likes you more, Hm." Deidara snickered.
Hidan reached his hands out and picked Egak up. She wrapped herself around his neck trembling. 'I know I'm in trouble. They're going to hurt me.' A soft female voice swept through his head.
Egak's tail tightened around Hidan's throat when the Akatsuki leader entered the room with Itatchi and Kakuzu. "Give the feline to me." Pein ordered.
'He's going to kill me.' The voice rang in his ears. 'Help me Tamiko!'
Tobi ran through the common room screaming bloody murder. "Tobi is mad at Kitty-Ted! Tobi was hurt from Kitty-Ted!" He ran at the cat perched around Hidan. The Jashinist side-stepped, causing Tobi to crash into a large window and allow the rain to seep into the room.
'Thank you!' The voice whispered.
"Get the cat, Yeah!" Deidara pointed.
'Don't follow the boy into the forest Hidan.' It's now-calm and relieved voice echoed through his head.
Hidan raised his hand to grab Egak when she released her grip on his neck and dashed into the stormy village.
"Way to go Tobi!" Kisame growled.
Pein looked to Hidan, who was giving a shocked expression after the feline. "Hidan?" He spoke.
The immortal turned his head to the group gathered. "The cat- Egak. It fucking spoke to me."
"What did it say, Hm?"
"She fucking said, 'Help me Tamiko.' And then fucking thanked it when dumbfuck over here broke the window." He nodded at Tobi, who was now pouting. "Then she fucking told me, 'Don't follow the boy into the forest.' Whatever the fuck that means."
Pein gave an icy glare to the rain and the path the feline escaped by. "That was Kage. The girl we have been looking for."
AN:
Don't you just love Hidan and his colorful vocabulary? :'D
