I do not own Naruto but I DO own the characters Genmaru, Nobuyuki, Yumi, Hareta, Suzuki, Sorami and Meiko

Chapter 9: The Eccentric Nerd and the Gothic Lolita

Over the next week Sorami, Meiko and even Suzuki and Hareta became closer with the others over the next week. Kakuzu gave Meiko a loan and she was able to rent an apartment. The ironic thing was she ended up being on the third floor…right above them.

Hidan had a lot of cravings recently and Kakuzu was getting annoyed.

Now, it was Friday afternoon at dinner.

"What happened to the spring rolls?" Kakuzu asked.

"Well," Hidan answered, blushing. "I kind of got a craving for something with rice noodles in it last night."

"Hidan."

"I can't help it."

"Well you could try."

"But I was hungry."

Suddenly, Kakuzu got an idea.

"Speaking of which, Hidan," Kakuzu said walking over to the sofa. "How are you two today?"

"Huh?" Hidan asked. "Who's us?"

"You and your baby of course."

Hidan blushed scarlet and automatically jumped up slapping his hand across Kakuzu mouth.

"Shh!" Hidan ordered. "Stop doing that."

Kakuzu just lowered Hidan's hand and just chuckled.

"I'm serious, Kakuzu!" Hidan yelled.

"Just relax," Kakuzu said. "I already told you, it's inconspicuous."

Hidan started yelling at Kakuzu as usual.

Sasori just laughed to himself.

Later that day Genmaru surprised everyone by coming over.

"Hey, guys," he said.

"Genmaru-kun?" Hidan asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Coming to get you."

"Eh?"

"We all thought we should take a night out in the city you know?"

"Um, now?"

"Yes."

"Uh…"

"You're coming anyway."

Now our friends headed out to a Tokyo club.

It was quite a nice place.

Kakuzu spotted some pool tables and pulled Hidan over.

"Kakuzu!" Hidan groaned. "What are you doing?"

"Getting money," Kakuzu replied. "I'm willing to bet half."

He sat down in front of a guy with dark green hair and rectangular glasses.

"How much do you bet?" the guy asked.

Kakuzu was about to bet when the guy cut him off.

"I'll warn you," he said. "I don't usually lose. Most people, unlike me use the wrong trajectory, not to mention the exerted force it is usually wrong changing the inertia, momentum and velocity in a way that it all fails."

"I bet 15,000 yen."

"15,000 yen!" Hidan exclaimed. "Kakuzu?!"

The guy snickered and adjusted his glasses.

"Watch and learn, Kakuzu-san," the he said.

He shot the ball knocking 6 of 8 balls into the holes.

Kakuzu laughed and knocked all the balls into the holes.

"What!?" the guy and Hidan both yelled at once. "How!?"

Kakuzu just crossed his arms proudly.

"You thought I'd lose?" he asked Hidan.

Hidan nodded.

"Impossible!" the guy yelled. "The trajectory was all wrong!"

Kakuzu just smiled.

"Good luck," he said.

"Luck doesn't exist," the guy retorted.

Meanwhile, Sasori was headed toward the dance floor when a girl peeping around the corner called him.

"Hello," she said.

"Um, hi?" Sasori said puzzled.

The girl was dressed in a gothic Lolita style dress and a large bow on the back of her head. Everything down to her gloves were black with white lace. She had indigo hair and green piercing eyes.

"Sit down," she said. "Let me check your aura."

"What?" Sasori asked.

"Sit."

She pushed him into a chair.

She stared into his eyes and nodded.

"Give me your hand," she instructed.

Sasori, quite annoyed, thrust out her hand.

She read his palm and nodded ant then sat down next to him.

"You seem to be lonely," she said. "Your past seems dark. But things are beginning to

So while Sasori was getting his palms read, Kakuzu was racking up the dough.

After their fun, Kakuzu and Hidan were about to head over to the bar where their friends were.

"Do you want to come?" Hidan asked Kakuzu's dejected opponent.

"Sure," the guy smiled.

So they went to the bar.

"Hey, guys!" Hidan called.

Suddenly, Genmaru jumped up and hugged him.

"Hidan-kun!" he cried.

"Wh-what's going on!" Hidan stuttered.

Nobuyuki and Yumi grabbed Genmaru off Hidan.

"Sorry," Nobuyuki apologized. "He's a heavy drinker."

"Yeah," Yumi chimed in. "He get's drunk all the time. How many bottles did you drink anyway?"

"Four," Genmaru replied groggily. "Uh oh!"

Suddenly, he ran off for the bathroom.

"Good," Yumi said. "After he get's it out of his system he'll be fine."

After Genmaru came back from the bathroom he was better and they sat down at a table to eat.

"Really sorry about that, Hidan-kun," Genmaru said.

"It's fine," Hidan smiled.

"So," Hareta said. "I noticed some new additions to our crew."

"We introduced ourselves but you guys never introduced them," Suzuki stated.

"Oh, yeah!" Sasori said.

He'd invited the fortune-teller girl over.

"This is Fuyumi-chan," he said. "She's a fortune-teller."

"Pleased to meet you all," Fuyumi smiled. "I'm 26 and I come to this club all the time telling fortunes and placing hexes. It's my living."

"So you got Little Miss Superstition over here," the guy who'd accompanied Hidan and Kakuzu said.

Fuyumi rolled her eyes.

"Wait," Hidan said. "We never actually asked your name."

The young man just smiled and adjusted his glasses.

"My name is Izuno," he said. "Pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm 28 years old and dream to become a great professor and inventor."

"With how you play pool you're halfway there," Kakuzu teased.

"You already won--three times--so cut the mocking and shut up."

"Stop moping."

"Sorry, Hidan," Sasori said.

"Why?" Hidan asked.

"I let Kakuzu drag you over to the pool tables so he could bet."

"It's okay. He even let me play some."

"Even though you sucked at first," Kakuzu added.

"You are so full of yourself," Hidan groaned.

"You did suck," Izuno agreed.

"Shut up," Hidan snarled, bearing his arm and putting his head in his hand.

"At least you didn't keep sucking," Kakuzu said with a laugh.

Hidan just groaned.

"So you see," Genmaru said. "This was fun, right?"

"Yeah," Sorami said. "I'd never gone to a club before. Friday nights I usually read The Last Uniform*."

Everyone stared.

"You do yuri and yaoi?" Hareta finally asked.

"Yep!" Sorami replied cheerily. "I'm a yaoi/yuri otaku!"

Everyone just groaned.

"How vile," Kakuzu said.

"Hidan-kun," Fuyumi called.

"Yes?" he replied.

"Can I read your palm? Sasori suggested."

"O-okay."

She did and looked at him with a quick nod.

"You seem to be waiting for something," she said. "Like, expecting new birth."

Hidan blushed and Kakuzu laughed inwardly.

"That sounds about right," Kakuzu said smiling at his partner.

Hidan felt like hiding.
So everyone was about to leave and things where fine when the girl from the mall bust in.

"There you guys are!" she cried.

"Oh man," Suzuki said. "Run!"

Everyone took off out the back door. The girl meant business.

A/N: Next chapter and you would've met all the main OCs! Yay!
