"…This might be an uncomfortable statement, but…I was supposed to start my period already." Rinsu states two days later; the eve of the Kazekage's return home. The two are in the process of figuring out if they would stay in the hotel room another night, living off of love and room service.
Raising his brows, Gaara blinks slowly. "Hm? …Really?" Does that mean…? I see. This could complicate things sooner than we expected…
"…It…could be bad…" She murmurs up to him, poking her index fingers together, seeming abnormally shy.
"Bad?" He echoes, staring a moment. I hadn't considered it 'bad' necessarily, but complicated, yes.
"…let's just…see what happens.." She finishes, her brows furrowed in worry. …I've…had sex with…a lot of guys since I got here… It wasn't our fault; but still…
Narrowing his eyes in confusion, Gaara then points out. "That's… an odd thing to say."
"It has to do with…something you didn't care to know.." She eludes, chewing her lip harshly.
Blinking slowly, he then sighs and nods with a slight furrowing of his brows. "For a moment, I thought you might be saying that it could be bad; for you to have my child…"
Blinking her eyes wide as her cheeks flush, the brown eyed girl shifts under the covers quickly to face him, shaking her head., "N-No..! ..No… It's something else entirely, I promise…"
Nodding slowly, Gaara then closes his eyes as if steeling himself before he adds. "Then, explain it to me."
Flinching, the brunette then sighs and nods before she begins explaining her love life. Her first; a boy who she had a troubled, but happy relationship with and she found another girl sitting on his lap. She said nothing, and he and the girl eventually got together.
Her second; a boy who only wanted her for sex, telling her he'd give her the world, but once he got what he wanted, he broke up with her over the phone only two days later, and her third; another user who all but kicked her from his house once he had his way.
Her fourth; a boy who decided to 'work it out' with his ex after cheating on her with said girl. And the fifth; a jerk who she was having a great relationship with. She walked away to talk to a friend, and came back to find the two obviously together, receiving a dirty look.
The next being Kakashi, Lee, and the party and hormones; twelve males, counting Akamaru and Gaara himself. She bows her head shamefully in silence, shivering with silent tears rolling down her face. "…I'm so sorry, Gaara…I know…you deserve better, but….I guess I've turned…into nothing but a whore..!" She cries, lowering her head deeper.
Watching her with a soft frown, Gaara then points out gently. "You're not a whore; just a victim of circumstance, and poor judgment. But now that I have you, you'll never have to worry about that again."
Sniffling as she says nothing, the shorter female just nods, hunched over herself as she continues to cry. …that doesn't make me feel much better…but still…at least I do feel a little better…
Settling down next to her, the kazekage then reaches up to urge her into his arms and hold her close.
Nuzzling up against him, her weak dam seems to break and her gentle crying turns into panged sobbing. Her hands grip his loosely fastened shirt as she shakes her head. "…I'm not good enough for you..! ..I wish I was…but I don't want to give you up..! I love you…"
"I love you, too." He states assuringly. "I've done terrible things in the past, I've been called a monster. However, I've grown to believe that it isn't the past that makes you the person you are, but the person you strive to become."
Looking up at him, she then slowly smiles before pain enters her eyes again and she lowers her head, sobbing once more. "I wish I could go with you… I can't stand to see you leave..!"
"We'll be alright." He offers, gently petting her hair. "No matter what else happens, we'll always have the summer."
"…I… Don't you need more than that..?" She asks, sniffling as she sits up more fully, frowning sadly up at him.
"Of course." He answers simply. "But we can't guarantee any other time. I expect to be here once per season."
Looking off and closing her eyes, the brown eyed girl points out simply. "The more we talk about it, the more it sounds like…a side relationship… Or those friends with benefits that you hear about that screw and spend time together once or twice a year deep into their forties…"
Frowning gently, Gaara then falls silent. What else can I do? Aside from completely betray Tsunade's trust…
"Any… of us?" Lee asks uneasily as he looks around the room at the people gathered.
Sweating alittle, Shikamaru raises his brows. First Senka now this? …Oh man…
"Uh… oh… wow…." Kiba mutters for lack of better words as he just stares at the brunette sisters.
Rinsu is… Oh boy, this might not end well at all… Daisuke's eyes stare widely, before he begins nervously nibbling his middle finger.
What sort of horrible thing did I start…? This poor girl… Kakashi closes his eye slowly and rubs the back of his head.
Looking to Rinsu, then to the other faces in the room, Gaara finally looks to Senka before asking. "How do we intend to find out who exactly?"
As Rinsu sobs at her back, sprawled out on the couch, Senka sighs and rubs her own head distractedly before offering simply. "Once the child's born, we can get it tested. We could do it now, but…it runs the risk of killing the child, so…that's pretty undesirable.
Scratching his head, Kiba sighs before putting up a hand somewhat timidly. "If… that's all you've got, Akamaru could figure it out but… it'll take a few months. About the time she'll start gettin' bigger."
Nodding a bit, the fluffy haired brunette puts up her hands "Now, I want to explain something; and half of the guys in this room can be witness to it." Sighing softly, she bites her top lip for a moment before pointing out. "There was a chemical released when we were hanging out here one night…after Lee and Rinsu broke up, she was pretty upset, so we just sort of…tried to make her feel better… The night that Ms. Rin was still taken over by Orochimaru, and…she released a chemical into our area… I guess it was to distract us, but as near as we can figure, it was a strong aphrodisiac hormone… We can't even remember half of what happened…just what we woke up to realize…"
Sighing deeply, Kakashi puts his hands to his hips as he offers carefully, his eyes closed. "There may be…something more …sinister in the works."
"There usually is when it comes to that man." Gaara agrees with a frown before nodding to Kakashi. "Continue."
Nodding to Gaara the grey haired shinobi then points out. "You all know, after your excursion to Otogakure, that Rinsu is the product of an experiment that handled the first Hokage's DNA. It could be possible that Orochimaru intends to …continue that experiment in Rinsu's children."
It makes perfect sense…! Daisuke thinks as his face drops alittle. All of us were… more drawn to Rinsu than anyone else.
Watching Kakashi with slightly widened eyes, Shikamaru then scratches his head. "Damn…"
Sneering a bit, Kiba then grips a fist. "Yeah? Well fuck Orochimaru! That pale ass'ed snake-bastard's lived too long anyway!"
"…this is…a lot for me…to take in…" Rinsu sniffles, rubbing her face of her errant tears. "…I've had so much…to take in this past week… I don't know how much more I can take…"
Nodding slowly, Kakashi then adds lightly. "I'm sorry… though, there's nothing else terrible for me to say."
"Rinsu!" Lee states as he grips his fists in front of himself. "I promise, even if we can no longer have what we did I will still never let any harm come to you until I'm dead!"
Remaining silent, Gaara slowly looks down and crosses his arms. I can't go back and leave things like this. Especially with Orochimaru involved. But I won't get Temari and Kankuro involved either. My only worry is; what if the enemy were to attack Sunagakure while I'm here protecting Rinsu? Part of me says that she'll be fine with these others to protect her… but my pride, my dignity, my love all tell me to stay…
"I see. A mobilization force against members of Akatsuki…" Orochimaru ponders curiously while an elderly man with bandages over his right eye and arm nods.
"Tsunade does not even know the true purpose of Akatsuki, but I believe she means to find out."
"I see. And did my little would-be assassin prove useful? Were you able to convince the Daimyo to give the seat of Hokage to you, Danzo?" The snake-like man asks as he flicks his tongue over his lips.
"Yes." Danzo answers with a frown. "But then she found out somehow before I could return and named a replacement! But you might be interested to know, it's that girl."
He raises his brows and then grins. "Rinsu? My pretty little experiment? I see. I have plans for her, and for Sasuke Uchiha."
"Hrm. I'm glad you told me; my next plan was to have her assassinated. She seems to spend a lot of her time around Gaara of the Desert. Wouldn't it be terrible if he suddenly had a relapse of sanity and destroyed her?"
"Without the tailed beast within him, Gaara is completely outside of our control. No. I have a plenty effective way of putting Rinsu under my control. She's so weak-minded and frail, that a simple heavily opposing force will do." Taking a scroll from a table, Orochimaru opens a door and speaks to Kabuto. "Take this to the man named Kido in Kumogakure."
Looking up and nodding, Kabuto takes the scroll. "Yes, Orochimaru-sama." Before leaving quickly.
Watching all of this, Danzo then states. "I don't care what you have planned, as long as you don't go back on your word; I will control Konoha, you will control the Bijuu and Akatsuki."
"My, my. I didn't know Akatsuki was something you could offer so freely." A voice states causing both men to take instant apprehension. A hole seems to appear in midair and then swirl together in the form of an orange mask with a single eye-hole, and a black haired man wearing only a black and metal jumpsuit.
"You are that upstart; Tobi!" Orochimaru hisses, baring his fangs. "You will not take this ring from me!" Grabbing the decayed arm on the table covetously Orochimaru lashes his tongue out at Tobi who's single eye flashes red before he dodges, grabs the offending limb and draw's Orochimaru to him, gripping the snake man by the throat.
"I may not be all that I was, but I can still best a third rate sannin like you." Looking down into Orochimaru's eyes with his single eyed sharingan, he notices the Otokage flinch.
"Those eyes… horrible…"
"These eyes… belong to the man who once founded the organization you thirst for. And now… unless the two of you wish to see more trouble than it's worth you'll do as I wish."
Suddenly grinning, Orochimaru's neck stretches up and his fangs flash before digging into Tobi's neck, only to have him vanish. A replacement? How?
Swirling in to another point of existence, Tobi chuckles. "You shouldn't bother, Orochimaru. I am not really even here. In fact, I am poised outside of Konoha at this moment. I can see your three scouts all very well. That girl must not be able to sense my chakra."
"Do you think I care enough about those three to consider it a threat?" The snake hisses while Danzo watches.
"Of course not. But you do care over Rinsu. And the Kazekage has already left Konoha. Now she is surrounded by her less-than-capable teammates and all too vulnerable."
Gritting his teeth and narrowing his eyes dangerously, Orochimaru sneers. "What do you want?"
"Cooperation; on both of your parts. I will spare Rinsu and Konoha but you must do something for me; I require several people and I will have them. They must be delivered alive, and mostly unharmed."
"Who are these people?" Danzo offers. "What is it you want with them?"
"What I want is not the concern. Kabuto will return with a scroll listing the names of the persons I require. The rest, gentlemen, is up to you." This said, Tobi then fades from the room, the last thing left behind being the hole representing his eye.
