I do not own Naruto but I DO own the characters Genmaru, Nobuyuki and Yumi
Chapter 5: Friends and New Beginnings
It was a bright day. Sasori had finally convinced Kakuzu to rent the apartment and they'd just moved in two days ago. Hidan hadn't seen Genmaru at all since that day. "C'mon, Hidan," Kakuzu said.
"What?" Hidan asked.
"We're going to the store."
So they headed off to the supermarket.
As they walked through the door Kakuzu grabbed Hidan's sleeve.
"What?" Hidan asked, annoyed.
"Where do you thing you're going?" Kakuzu asked.
"In the supermarket."
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea."
"Ha!"
"Well, I heard on the news--"
But Hidan already had started walking.
As he walked a runaway cart just barely missed him and a large ball almost hit him. Two little kids also almost knocked into him but he didn't notice.
He turned around puzzled and walked back.
"Are you guys coming?" he asked. "Why do you guys look like that?"
Sasori's mouth was wide open and Kakuzu had turned pale.
Kakuzu grabbed Hidan roughly and dragged him over two a bench in the front of the store.
"Sit," Kakuzu ordered, pushing Hidan down into the seat.
"But--" Hidan started.
"Look. You're pregnant and I'm your guardian and I'm not going to be responsible for miscarriage or…anything else."
"Okay, okay."
"Now stay put."
"Seriously, Hidan," Sasori said. "Stay here. And ca--"
"I know," Hidan said. "Call if I need anything."
"We'll be back," Kakuzu said. "And you had better not have moved."
With this they left.
Hidan cursed.
"They treat me like dirt," Hidan muttered to himself. "Well it's for a good reason. But still…"
He cursed again.
He sat there wondering if he should call Kakuzu and ask him to buy something for him when he heard a familiar voice.
"Hidan-kun?" it said. "Is that you?"
Hidan turned to see Genmaru.
"Genmaru-san?" Hidan asked.
"You got it!" Genmaru said cheerily. "I thought it was you."
He sat down next to him.
"Where have you been?" Hidan asked, annoyed.
"What?" Genmaru questioned.
"You haven't been around the apartment lately."
"Oh, you moved in?"
"Yeah."
"Awesome!"
"You're weird."
Genmaru smiled.
"Yes." he said. "I know that. But if I wasn't I wouldn't be Genmaru would I?"
Hidan laughed.
They sat for a while talking in general, sometimes laughing, until Kakuzu and Sasori returned.
"Who are you talking to?" Kakuzu inquired.
"Oh, this is Genmaru-san," Hidan replied.
"Genmaru-kun," Genmaru corrected.
"Oh."
"You mean the one who gave you a drink?" Sasori asked.
"Yeah," Genmaru laughed. "That's me."
"I don't know how you could make a friend over some seltzer water," Kakuzu muttered.
"Are you upset again because you had to spend money?" Hidan teased.
"Shut up."
"Ha!"
Genmaru smiled.
"So you must be Sasori and Kakuzu," Genmaru said, pointed to them in the correct order.
"How'd you figure that one out?" Sasori questioned.
"Oh. Hidan kind of mentioned that him and Kakuzu didn't get along well so I took a guess."
Sasori laughed.
Kakuzu and Hidan blushed.
"I didn't say that!" Hidan said hastily.
"I know," Genmaru said. "But the point kind of came across while you were talking."
Hidan could tell Kakuzu was glaring at him even though he refused to look at his face.
"Genmaru-kun!" a voice called. "What are you doing?"
A guy seemingly about the same age as Genmaru was walking toward him with a teenaged boy. The boy had bluish-black hair and brown eyes. The teenaged boy had hair that was white and wavy with a light blue tent and he wore a red Nordstrom-style driver's cap with a blue rose . His eyes were green and he wore very odd clothes that seemed like a mix of goth and cute chic.
"Oh," the teen boy said. "Genmaru-chan's found a new friend."
"Genmaru-chan?" Hidan questioned.
"He has a habit of his to make everything sound cute," the other guy explained.
"Oh, these are my friends," Genmaru said. "Or roommates or…I don't know, whatever."
"I'm Nobuyuki," the oldest said. "Age 27. I'm a punk or goth, whatever you want. Who really cares."
"I'm Yumi," the teenaged boy said. "I'm 19 and I love fashion in general. All sorts of little funny fashions."
"In other words, he's eccentric," Nobuyuki interrupted.
"No I'm not, Nobu-onii-chan."
"I told you not to call me that."
"Can I ask you a question?" Sasori asked.
"Sure," Yumi replied.
"If you're a boy, why is your name Yumi?"
"Ask my parents."
"What?"
"I'm saying I actually don't know."
Sasori leaned over towards Hidan and Kakuzu.
"Reminds me of Deidara-kun," Sasori whispered.
"He's prettier than Dei-kun," Hidan laughed.
Sasori and Kakuzu rolled their eyes.
"Anyway, it's about time we leave," Nobuyuki said. "Goodbye Sasori, Hidan and Kakuzu."
He had addressed them all and correctly, too!
"How did you--?" Hidan started.
"Don't ask," Yumi said. "Too hard to explain."
So they said their good-byes and left.
"What did they mean see us around?" Kakuzu asked as they drove off.
"Didn't you know they live in the neighborhood?" Hidan asked.
"No. You never talk to me."
"Shut up, Kakuzu-baka."
A/N: Yes I know Yumi is kind of cutesy. He's supposed to be that way.
Now here I'm going to add some special notes that could answer most questions you could of had. I'll probably do another in later vchapters. (1) Genmaru's name is a pun. "Gen" means 'odd' or 'unusual' and "maru" is a suffix meaning 'male' so he's an 'odd male' relating to his eccentricy. (Nobuyuki is not a pun) Yumi's name relates to his cute side being a girl's name. (2) Kakuzu's car is a Mercedes. (3) Will there be any more OCs? YES! A lot! No all of them are permenant. Of course when a charcter leaves you may request a reappearance and I'll se what I can do. ~Katsuki Shizenno
