Chapter 6:
Shopping with Hoshi
A/N: Bonjour mes amis! And welcome to chapter 5 of this story, finally Hoshi gets a bigger part since chapter 2. Now she gets to finally meet the Akatsuki kids. Will she be friends with them or will they be bitter enemies? Here to do the disclaimer speak of the devil here's… Hoshi!
-POOF-
Hoshi: Yo.
Me: Would you mind to do the disclaimer?
Hoshi: I certainly would not.
…
Me: ? Uh when are you going to do it?
Hoshi: Sorry I was building some dramatic pulses. Samantha doesn't own anyone except me and Nana!
Story Starts: Hoshi's POV
Knock knock.
I groaned. My head was killing me from last night. I knew I shouldn't have had Yusuke convince me to try ten different pina coladas. I covered my blanket over my head.
Knock knock knock.
"Go away." I grumbled.
"Miss Hokori, your friend Nana is here to see you." One of my annoying maids addressed.
"Nana?" I whispered. "What could she be doing here?" Today wasn't a workday.
No one's POV (A few minutes ago)
Nana and her seven house guests were finally going to go get clothes for them. The kids stared in shock at the house before them. House however was an understatement, it was a huge old-style Japanese manor. It was a manor worthy of an aristocrat. Nana noticed the boys open-mouthed expressions.
"I guess I forgot to mention that Hoshi's family is really wealthy." Nana scratched behind her head.
"Is she a princess or some kind of ambassador, un?" Deidara asked.
Nana shrugged. "I know her dad's the head of a huge company, but Hoshi is as pretty as a princess."
Nana pressed a button on a speaker. "Is Hoshi Hokori here?"
"Miss Hokori is sleeping, may I ask who is requesting her presence?" A lady's voice came out of it.
"It's Nana Takemori."
"Oh Miss Takemori it has been awhile I shall announce your coming to Miss Hokori. Please come in." The lady said.
"Thank you." Nana smiled.
Nana looked over at the kids. "What's wrong?"
"What is that thing?" Kakuzu asked.
"What this?" Nana pointed to the speaker.
They nodded.
"This is what some people install near the front door. You press this button and ask whoever it is you want to see." She explained.
"This place's technology is incredible." Kakuzu said.
They sat down in a tatami room filled with beautiful vases of sunflowers. The boys were staring in awe at every direction they saw. Nana merely giggled at their actions.
"Please make yourselves comfortable while we fetch Miss Hokori." A maid bowed.
"Nana what's this Hoshi person like?" Kisame asked her.
"Well she's very nice, and also really strong and smart. She is my co-worker at the Cat Café and I've already mentioned that we are best friends since kindergarten." Nana smiled excitedly as she spoke of her friend.
"If she's so rich why does she even need to work?" Kakazu narrowed his eyes.
"Hoshi doesn't like to use her dad's money, so she earns her own by paying her own way." That and she's head over heels over Yusuke. Nana thought to herself thinking of Hoshi's relationship with their boss Yusuke Kyoya. He's only 25 so it's alright for Hoshi to date him. After all she's the same age as me. Nana nodded to herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the door opening to reveal Hoshi in baggy sweatpants and a gray tank top.
Hoshi's POV
I could feel my eye twitching at this strange sight. Why is Nana surrounding by the 7 dwarfs? Call it my sixth sense but I had this feeling just the other day when I last talked to Nana. These boys are giving off the exact same feeling. There's something very odd about them.
"What's this Nana did you secretly have kids and didn't tell me?" I smirked.
Nana blushed. "H-Hoshi! Don't joke about stuff like that!!"
"So who are these tykes anyway?" I narrowed my eyes.
"Oh, um, these are, um… oh! My long lost cousins from Hokkaido! They've just recently have no place to go so now they're staying with me."
"Uh-huh." Definitely not buying the story. "Anyway what brings you here to visit?" I smiled at Nana.
"Well you see I was hoping to buy these guys some clothes." Hoshi blushed. "I'm not exactly sure what to get them so I was hoping you could help me?"
I shrugged. "I'm ok with it." That and my sixth sense is driving me crazy.
Nana clapped her hands together happily. "Great it'll be like a field trip! Have you guys ever seen a mall before?"
"What's a mall, un?" The kid with blonde hair asked. Is that a boy or girl?
"You've never been to a mall before?" I narrowed my eyes.
"I guess they're from the farms they've been to a big-time mall before." Nana scratched the back of her head nervously.
"Alright let me just get dressed and we'll get going. Nana you wanna come with me." I asked.
"Ok." She smiled.
The boys POV:
"She suspects us." Sasori confirmed.
"Yeah it's fuckin' weird." Hidan frowned.
"Do you think she knows what we are?" Zetsu's white side asked.
The boys shrugged. After a half hour later the girls came back.
"Sorry for making you guys wait." Nana apologized.
"It's alright Nana." Kisame said.
Hoshi was dressed up in black tank top with a short-sleeved black jacket and blue jeans. Nana's outfit was opposite of Hoshi's hers was a white tank top with a short-sleeved pink jacket and beige pants.
"Welp let's get going." Hoshi smiled at Nana.
Once they got to the mall the boys noticed how Hoshi gave her attention only to Nana as if the boys weren't even there.
"What you want to get them is something simple but still fashionable yet affordable." Hoshi explained. "If we head to Kid's Palace they'll have what you're looking for."
"Got it! Simple, fashionable, and affordable!" Nana gave a determined look.
Hoshi giggled.
"Hey are you guys hungry?" Nana turned to the boys who flinched at Nana.
They shrugged. "We guess?" Itachi said soft-spoken.
"I'll get you guys some ice-cream. I'll be right back." Nana ran off to an ice-cream stall.
When she went around a corner Hoshi glared the boys and again they flinched.
"W-What?!" Hidan asked.
Hoshi crossed her arms across her chest. "Alright I know that story about you being her cousins is bogus. So who exactly are you guys?"
"What do you mean, un?" Deidara asked her.
"Don't give me that. There's a strange air around you guys that's not of this world. Those bodies of yours are also not your correct ages. Stop me if I'm wrong."
The boys glanced at each other, they definitely didn't expect this.
"You're right we're not exactly this age or from this world." Zetsu's white side explained.
"I knew it." Hoshi whispered. "So spill what are your real ages?"
"Most of us are in our early twenties. Some of us a bit older, but Deidara's the youngest he's 18." Kakuzu explained.
Hoshi tripped against the wall. "Are you telling me my best friend is hanging around little midgets that are 25 or older?!" She demanded.
"What's it to you bitch?!" Hidan snorted.
Hoshi's twitched. "Oh don't you call me a bitch you little punkass. You don't even know me so don't you get smart with me!" She growled at Hidan.
Hoshi and Hidan had a small glaring contest until Hoshi broke it up by asking, "So, where exactly are you guys from?"
"We're from a different version Japan, at least that's what we can tell from here." Itachi said.
Hoshi's expression softened. "So why are you guys like this now?"
"We don't know why all we remember is that we died and all of a sudden we ended up here and in these forms." Sasori said.
"Hm." Hoshi pondered. "That could be why I get a strange feeling from you guys."
"What do you mean?" Kisame asked.
Hoshi leaned against a wall. "I've always had what you would call a sixth sense. I can see and feel things most people can't even see. When I asked my parents about it they just said it was my imagination, but Hell I can't really rely on them. When I first met Nana in kindergarten someone told me she comes from a shrine, I thought 'Maybe she sees the same things I do!'. When I asked her if she was like me she apologized and said she couldn't, but being the Nana I know and love she thought it was cool that I sense those things and she was the first person who believed me." Hoshi paused. "It's funny, how I can feel these things without being from spiritual heritage and Nana who comes from a shrine can't,"
The boys didn't say anything until Sasori spoke. "You really care about Nana don't you?"
Hoshi laughed out loud. "Are you kidding? Hell if I was a boy we would've been one weird couple!"
The boys sweat-dropped. Finally came over to them hauling ice-cream in a little tin threatening to spill over.
"Guys! Grab your ice-cream quick if you want to eat!" Nana warned.
~~Some hours later~~
The day was almost over. The boys finally have modern clothes and they ate ice-cream!! (Sorry that last part sounded lame but who doesn't like ice-cream? Well except those who are lactose intolerant…).
"Well how do you guys like your clothes?" Nana smiled.
The boys forced smiles and nodded their heads leaving Nana giggling with happiness.
'I'd feel more comfortable in our cloaks…' The boys thought to themselves.
"Thanks again for coming with us Hoshi." Nana hugged Hoshi.
Hoshi smiled and hugged back. "No problem it was fine."
"Let's get your clothes home ok guys?" Nana walked on up the stairs.
The boys almost followed until Hoshi touched each of their shoulders.
They looked up innocently until their faces turned into fright by seeing Hoshi smiling very creepily…
"You guys aren't off the hook with me yet, I don't exactly trust 20 year olds with my best friend. So if you guys do anything to her not only will be pissed but I'll be coming for you." Hoshi warned. "Do you understand?"
The boys nodded their heads quickly. With that Hoshi turned around and leaving the boys. Their first meeting with Hoshi and they doubt it'll be the last… The boys thought.
A/N: Well what do you guys think of Hoshi? Oh and a warning next chapter is kind of a filler and really short, but at the end it will go back to the main story. Please review!
