Chapter 10:
Ash, our dear sister
A/N: Happy Birthday! To me! And whoever else that has a birthday on August 31! I thought it would be special to update my stories on my birthday since I'm happy enough to get the chance to update! Please enjoy this chapter, and if anyone is a fan of my Fairy Tail one-shot there is another one-shot sequel if you want to check it out! I'M TURNING 17 BABY! I don't own the Akatsuki, but I do own Nana, Ash, and Blanc.
Story Starts: No One's POV
(Dei: Meanwhile with everyone… um Samantha? Why am I doing this? Me: Because the 'meanwhile' guy freakin' walked out on us ok!)
Our miniature heroes have just entered a strange situation. Just an hour ago a woman (Obviously Ash) shows up at Nana's doorway claiming to be the former Akatsuki's sister. The said kids were currently in the kitchen glaring at their so-called sister dabbing away tears in her eyes with a handkerchief telling her sob story to a blank-faced Nana.
(What happened an hour ago)
Now, the kids wanted to protest about the alcoholic grim reaper is most definitely NOT their sister, but they were cut off with Ash running towards them giving them a crushing bear hug and a menacing glare from behind her glasses.
"Oh I've missed you all so much!" She shrieked tearfully, then in a low, demonic whisper that only they could hear. "Shut up and play along or I will personally send your souls to Hell."
(Currently)
So that's the story of why the kids kept their mouths shut.
Ash still sobbing choked out. "So… you see… w-with work and all I couldn't spend time… with my… darling b-brothers…b-but when I heard that our grandparent d-d-d-d-died and the boys were nowhere to be found in our town… I hoped that… m-maybe… j-just maybe that they were h-here in Tokyo… I-I-I'm so happy that a kind person like yourself is taking such good care of them!" She wailed.
Nana patted Ash's head sympathetically, while her face still remained blank.
"That's quite a story." Nana said hesitantly, she looked towards the boys feeling their anger, but as soon as she looked at them their faces turned innocent. "However, I hope you'll forgive me if I find this hard to believe."
"Oh if it's because of the way we look…" Ash blushed. "Our father fooled around with a lot of women so we have a whole harem of mothers, that's why we look the way we look."
The boys paused at Ash.
As much of a pathetic-sounding story this was, Ash was a decent actress. They thought grudgingly.
Nana shook her head. "I didn't mean that, it's just the boys don't seem to like you that much."
Ash's left eye twitched slightly. "That's because I'm away working so often I'm more of a stranger than a sister."
Well that can be proven true. The boys thought sarcastically.
"I think it would be best if I see a picture of them to prove it." Nana suggested.
Out of the blue Ash slammed her head on the table! Damn it! She thought in frustration. I was so sure she would buy my story immediately! She's more intuitive than I gave her credit for! Then a light bulb formed over her head.
She searched her purse and secretly and quietly snapped her fingers. When she rose her head back up Nana asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"Oh I'm fine." Ash put her actress face back on smiling faintly and letting crocodile tears flow once more. She grabbed her wallet out of her purse and handed it to Nana.
Nana blinked at the cuteness of… the Akatsuki kids as babies! (Cue the aaawwwwing). Nana was overcome by the cuteness and said. "They're so adorable."
The boys curious as to what Ash did ran up and their mouths (except for Itachi, and Sasori who just stood there shocked) were ajar. The baby pictures were actually of them in perfect detail!
"Would this count as proof?" Ash tilted her head.
Nana still overcome by the cuteness nodded rapidly. "I believe you, I believe you."
The kids however couldn't believe how she was able to pull off this trick. Could it have been a genjutsu? They questioned in their heads suspiciously.
"Would you like to stay here for the night? It's pretty late right now." Nana offered to Ash.
Ash smiled sweetly. "Yes I would love to, but I can't stay all the time. I have to go back to work after tonight, but I promise I'll drop by more often."
"Would you like to sleep with your brothers?" Nana returned the smile. "There's plenty of room for all of you."
The boys noticed Ash sweat-dropped. "O-Of course I would love to spend one night with my darling brothers."
Ash and the boys were having a glaring contest as soon as Nana said good night and headed for bed.
"What?" Ash sneered.
"Alright what's the deal, un?" Deidara narrowed his eyes.
"What deal?" Ash said confused.
"Don't play dumb, that bullshit story!" Hidan growled.
"Just a few hours ago we thought you were going to leave us alone for awhile. Then all of a sudden you come back and make up that story." Sasori said in a monotone.
Ash pouted. "I was going to leave you guys for about a week then check up on you guys later, but orders from above said I had to keep a closer eye on you guys and that meant to have Nana Takemori aware of myself through a false connection."
"Then explain that picture." Kisame folded his arms.
"I'm the Grim freakin' Reaper, kid." Ash frowned. "I've got all kinds of powers that don't involve your little ninja tricks."
They were all silent after while.
Zetsu's white side broke the silence. "There's something I've been curious about."
"Like, how the heck is someone like you a grim reaper?" His black side finished.
Ash scratched the back of her head. "You really wanna know?"
They all nodded.
"Well I won't tell you why, however I will tell you how…"
~Flashback Time!~
Ash was in her room, her face covered by a pillow. A knock was at her door.
"Enter." She said her words smothered by her pillow.
Blanc entered the room and sat on her bed beside her limp figure.
Ash lazily lifted up her head and stared at the wall. "Well they decided my punishment, I'm being demoted to being the Grim Reaper on Earth for a century."
Blanc said nothing.
"It's okay, you can say it Blanc, I know what you're thinking, just say it, I'm an irresponsible dumb-ass drunk." She said.
"You're an irresponsible dumb-ass drunk." Blanc said without emotion.
Ash glared at him. "Geez, some friend you are."
"Ash, I know this isn't a good situation, but it can't be that bad being the Reaper?" Blanc tried to comfort her.
Ash narrowed her eyes at him. "They're going to put me through the Reaper's Ritual, carve open my back and tattoo the Seal of the Reaper on it."
"Ouch, but still it could be worse." Blanc patted her head.
"And then they're going to make me watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua."
Blanc paused. "…That's part of the ancient ritual?"
"Apparently now." Ash glared at the wall.
"Maybe I can try to convince them not to at least do the movie." Blanc assured her.
Ash's eyes twinkled with hope. "You'd do that for me?"
Blanc nodded. Ash squealed and squeezed the life out of her white haired friend in gratitude.
Unfortunately he couldn't convince them to not show the movie.
(On the Ritual Day…Audience please insert Beverly Hills Chihuahua's ending song right now)
Two security angels were dragging Ash to massive golden double doors while kicking and screaming. Blanc looked down in shame and not being able to save her friend from a horrible fate.
"No I hate live-action Disney Movies!" Ash wailed. "Especially ones with talking animals!" As she passed Blanc she pleaded. "Blanc save me from the CGI Chihuahuas!"
A day after the ritual was over Blanc hesitantly checked in on Ash.
"So, um, how are you doing?" Blanc asked nervously.
Ash looked at Blanc as if life was sucked out of her completely. "Well let's see, I'm going to spend a century reaping the souls of the dead, I'm going to have this tattoo on my back forever, and I just watched the worst Jamie Lee Curtis movie since Christmas with the Franks. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I FEEL!"
~End Flashback~
"And that's how I became the Grim Reaper." Ash sighed after finishing her story.
The boys stared at her blankly.
"But why did you-"
"OK Time for bed nighty-night!" Ash said hurriedly turning off the lights.
