Chapter 26: Pain of the Heart
Hidan was on his futon, struggling against Aki's grasp. Her small hands clutched his face firmly, unmoving as he tried to pry them off. Another strangled cry escaped him but Aki just laughed, her eyes glowing. Haru stood beside her, laughing as well. A creepy, sinister grin was on both of their faces.
"Aki-san?!" Sasori was astonished. "Haru-san?!"
They both smiled at him. "You'd never suspect two girls you've never met before."
Haru raised her hands in the air and the girls' entire appearance changed. A pair of boots with buckles replaced both of their pairs of shoes. Each of them now wore a short dress full of frills. Aki's was black and Haru's was red. Also, their hair had changed. Aki's was short and blond while Haru's was long and brunette. Their eyes were a malevolent burgundy, bloodthirsty and evil.
The two girls cackled. "We are dangerous witches numbers four and five, the dangerous witch twins, Kanjou"--the girl who was known to be Haru pointed to herself--"and Seishin!" The girl who was known as Aki grinned evilly.
"Dangerous witches four and five?" Sasori wondered aloud. "If Shinzouko is number two then who's number three?"
Sasori pulled a puppet summoning scroll out of his pocket. It didn't matter. All that mattered was that those two died.
Kanjou waved her finger. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You could make a mistake."
Sasori froze. This could not be happening. He had no idea what their powers were yet. Could Kanjou alter the trajectory of attacks? What was Seishin doing to Hidan?
He turned to Fuyumi. "Fuyumi-chan, what's going on?"
Fuyumi looked intently at the two witches for a second and turned back to Sasori. "There seems to be a transfer of--"
Suddenly, Fuyumi fell to the floor with a gasp, grasping her head.
Sasori's eyes darted to Seishin, who had lifted one hand off Hidan's head and had extended it towards Fuyumi.
Sasori bent over Fuyumi. She was still breathing. Good, she was alive, but out cold.
What had just happened?
Sasori took a step forward.
He had no choice. He was going to have to use taijutsu.
Sasori pulled out a kunai and ran towards Seishin and Kanjou.
He successfully knocked Seishin to the ground. Suddenly something sent Sasori flying to the other side of the room. Kanjou had kicked him.
Hidan sat up. "Sasori! Watch out!"
Kanjou waved her hands in the air. Hearts began to circle them.
"Hearts?" Sasori asked, in disbelief. "You have got to be kidding m--"
One of the hearts hit Sasori and it actually hurt!
Sasori grabbed his arm in agony.
He looked at it in confusion. "What…?"
Kanjou cackled. "It hurts, doesn't it, puppet boy?"
"How?"
"These hearts are unpredictable. They change depending on the person they are used on. They use the power of your very own heart to cause pain. That's why you can still feel it. You have a heart, don't you, puppet-boy? And I'm the only one who can use them."
Kanjou cackled again.
Sasori's eyes darted around the room, trying to come up with a solution to the problem.
Hidan moved towards Sasori, his eyes wide. He was staring at Sasori's arm in bewilderment and shock. Seishin jumped forward and put him on the ground. She grasped his neck.
Hidan squirmed. "Let go!"
Seishin growled and squeezed his neck harder.
Sasori tried to stab Seishin but Kanjou blocked it.
"You're fighting me," Kanjou said. "Remember, puppet-boy?"
"Sasori," Hidan croaked.
Seishin grasped Hidan's face again. "Shut up!" Seishin was half-smothering Hidan now.
Suddenly, a gasp came from the door.
Everyone turned to see Tenko, Erena and Taemi at the door.
"Oh look," Seishin smirked, not moving her hands from Hidan's face. "His lace-clad girlfriend is here."
Kanjou laughed and hit Sasori with a bombardment of hearts.
"Sasori-sama!" Erena pulled out a gun and aimed it at Kanjou. "Don't you make another move!"
Tenko followed, pulling out her gun and aiming it at Seishin; Taemi put her hand on her dagger while bending down next to Fuyumi.
"Go ahead," Kanjou smiled. "Shoot. I dare you."
"Oh, I'm gonna shoot alright," Tenko said.
"Wait!" Sasori slowly forced himself to his feet. "She's too confident."
"So what do I do, Sasori?!"
Kanjou could be bluffing, but she had also said her magic was unpredictable.
Sasori cursed.
He had no idea.
A/N: As usual, thanks for reading guys! :) Sorry for cutting it short, but if I combined this chapter and the next it would be WAY to long to even call a chapter. Keep coming back. ;D I've also started a series of side-stories for this, titled "The Days That Past" and I'll try to release chapters at the same time as these. Please read people! ;)
