Aoi POV
We spent the rest of the day at the beach. We left the beach when security had to chase us out with dogs in tow. Now we just drove home with our headlights on. The sky was dark because it was night and the stars twinkled brightly in the sky. The music in my car was turned off because Yukiko and Deidara had fallen asleep.
"Sasori," I called out to the puppet.
"What?" He growled as I interrupted him from looking out the window.
"I'm tired," I mumbled.
"Well what do you want me to do brat?" He sneered. I shrug my shoulders in response. I heard Sasori sigh and he began to poke the back of my head. My head jerked forward with each poke.
"Quit that! You're going to get us into a car accident!" I shouted at him with my eyes still on the road. Sasori stopped and simply looked out the window.
Sasori POV
I looked out the window at all the colors that passed by. This car contraption thing travels quite fast. Colors whizzed by as the car sped. Other cars sped near us too but not as many. The road was mostly empty. Soon Aoi took a turn causing me to bang my head on the window.
"What the hell was that for?" I growled as I examined my head for damage.
"Put on your seatbelt and that wouldn't happen!" she retorted. I growled and wrestled with the damned thingamabob. I finally made the thing snap into place but then Aoi stopped the car. She turned off the engine and took of her 'seatbelt'.
"Get out of the car, we're home." Aoi muttered as she stepped out of the car. I sighed and started to wrestle with the thing yet again. How do you take this off?
"You do it like this." Aoi leaned over the sleeping Deidara and clicked a red button. The seatbelt then unbuckled and released. I glared at her and got out of the car. I could hear her chuckles as I stretched my legs. I'll need to lubricate the joints soon.
Apo POV
I chuckled at Sasori's predicament and leaned back to look at Deidara. His hair was out of its usual ponytail and was held back by one large red scrunchy. Drool was smeared on the side off his cheek. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I ran to the corner of the garage where things were inside a basket. After a few seconds of rummaging through the basket, I pulled out a horn.
"What are you gonna do with that Aoi?" I heard Akiko questioned. I turned around and flashed a mischievous grin at her. I grabbed her hand and ked her back to the car. Hana, Pein, Kakuzu, Sasori, and Kisame followed to see what was going on. I neared Deidara and put the horn near him. Then I pressed down on the nozzle causing a loud noise to be produced.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" shouted Deidara as his body jerked forward. He hit his face against the front seat and fell back due to the blow. He grasped his face and looked down at his body. I burst out laughing at his reaction. Everyone else joined in and Deidara blushed with embarrassment.
"Aoi," someone stated in a low tone as a hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to see Yukiko looking very angry. I tilted my head to the side wondering why she was angry.
"Why are you angry Yukiko?" I questioned. She faced palmed and grabbed my arm dragging me inside the house. I followed behind her stumbling on my feet. Yukiko directed us to the library on the third floor. She shut the door behind her and took a seat on the two people couch. She padded the seat next to her for me to sit. I strode over to the seat and sat down.
"Aoi tomorrow I got a mission." Yukiko whispered after a few moments of silence. I tensed at her announcement and darted my eyes to stare at the floor.
"At what time do you need to go and when will you be back?" I questioned after a brief silence. I stared at her with anticipation for my reply.
"I leave in the morning at 5 am and I come back…" Yukiko trailed off at the end.
"When do you come back Yukiko?" I demanded.
"I-It's a high risk mission I don't know IF I'll come back." Yukiko mumbled. She gazed into my eyes and I gazed into hers. I searched her face for any trace of lies but all I found was sadness and truth.
"Yukiko I'll know you'll come back!" I lifted my fist in front of my face showing how serious I was, "You'll come back because you're awesome like that!" Yukiko sighed and smiled a little. Next, she patted my head and stood up. I stared at her confused.
"I'll be back tomorrow night around eight." Yukiko smiled, "Your confidence in me never seems to fade me." I nodded and Yukiko left the room. As soon as she closed the door, I lay on the couch, covering it completely with my stretched out body. Yukiko's going on a mission…. She had better come back or else I'll track down those who killed/have her!
Pein POV
I grabbed Konan by the waist and lifted her into my arms. Next, I entered the house, went up the stairs and opened the door to our shared room. I had been offered a room of my own but Konan wanted me to share with her. I set her down on the bed and slipped of our shoes. Konan opened her eyes and reached out for me. I chuckled lightly and took my spot next to her. She wrapped her arms around me and snuggled into my chest. As she did this, I managed to land a kiss on her forehead. She giggled and drifted into sleep. I wrapped my arms around my lover protectively and drifted into sleep.
Akiko POV
"I wonder how Aoi is going to take the announcement," I stated as I opened Aoi's car trunk. I grabbed all the bags filled with clothes and swung them on my arms.
"She'll probably be confident as heck." Hana mused. I nodded and turned to carry the bags inside the house. Hidan stood at the doorway leading from the garage to inside the house.
"What fucking announcement?" Hidan questioned curiously. I sighed and handed him some of the bags on my arms. He took them and eyed me in anticipation.
"Tomorrow morning Yukiko is going on a mission." I stated as I directed Hidan to follow me. He followed me into the house. We set the bags down in the living room and he followed me as I headed back to the garage.
"So fucking what?" Hidan questioned in a nosy tone. I sighed and rubbed the bridged the base of my nose.
"Tell Aoi to tell you!" I shouted at the top of my lungs and left to continue unpacking.
Hidan POV
"Fine I fucking will!" I shouted back at the dark skinned girl.
"I thought she was angry at you, un." Mused Deidara as he and a half-asleep Deidara passed by.
"Shut up puppet-fucker!" I shouted at the blond. He stuck his tongues out at me and continued walking away. I sighed and rubbed the back of my head.\
"You idiot you know she's angry with you." Kakuzu chuckled as he stood in front of me. My face reddened and I marched away in frustration. Have to find that girl! I stomped into the living room and saw Yukiko picking up some bags. I dashed towards her in a fit of having my question answered.
"Where is he fucking shorty?" I interrogated. Yukiko looked up at me with boredom and two bags in her hand. One of the bags I identified as hers and the other I recognized as Aoi's.
"Hana's over there." She answered stupidly while pointing to the girl. Hana waved and wiggled her eyebrows at me. I gave a look of disgust and stared at Yukiko who was chuckling.
"No, the other fucking shorty!" I exclaimed with arms in the air in frustration.
"Oh she's in the library," Yukiko replied in a calm voice, "At least that's where I left her. If not check the roof." I nodded and took off for the third floor. After a few flights of stairs and a few turns, I found myself in front of the library door. I grabbed the knob and twisted it slowly.
"What do you want Hidan?" Aoi's voice hit my ears as soon as I entered the library. I glanced around trying to find where she is and found her lying on a couch. I smirked and sauntered over to the couch. After pushing her legs out of the way, I took a seat. Aoi's eyes were facing the ground as she lay curled into a semi ball on the couch. I stared at her and sighed.
"Aoi will you fucking talk to me?" I screeched as I faced her. She stayed silent and didn't even make a move at the sound of my voice. It was as if she was dead but still here.
"I'll talk to you if you apologize." She stated before I got the chance to yell at her. Apologize?
"Apologize? You want me to fucking apologize?" I scoffed, "Hah! Why the fuck should I fucking apologize?" I stared at Aoi and noticed she was staring at me now. Her eyes read as though I just let her down.
"You were mean to Aoi." She stated in a sad tone as she stared at her hands. Then I realized why she was angry. I sighed and my expression softened. She was sulking 'cause I yelled at her…
"Aoi look here," I demanded. She shook her head and continues staring at her hands. I sighed and grabbed her chin forcing her to look into my eyes. She placed her hands on top of mines trying to get me to let go. In return, I grabbed both of her hands with my free hand. Then I forced her down on the couch with me on top of her. Aoi had panic in her eyes as I set myself over her. She tried to wiggle free of my grip but failed.
"Stop Moving!" I demanded. She did and just looked at me confused. "Listen Aoi, I know I yelled at you but it was because I was angry at the moment. I know I did wrong and I-I'm- I…. I'M FUCKING SORRY!" She smiled and nodded in approval to my apology.
"Thank you Hidan but I never believed you would actually apologize." She smiled. I blushed and let go of her chin. Then I got off her and took a seat at the far end of the couch. She sat up and sat next to me.
"Okay now we can talk normally." She stated in monotone. I nodded at her statement.
"I want to know about this mission Yukiko has tomorrow." I stated my demands. Aoi face fell as soon as I said this. She darted her eyes and stayed silent. Her features read a sadness she wanted to share or hide from someone. She was sad but trying not to show it.
"Y-Yukiko is going on a mission at 5 am," Aoi began explaining while playing with her small hands, "It's a very dangerous mission but she says she'll be back around eight on the same day. Yukiko's strong so I'll know she'll be back!" She said the last part full of confidence. So this is what they were talking about… I gave Aoi a sad smiled and leaned over to hug her. She looked up at me as I neared her. Then I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her into my chest. She accustomed herself into my arms and sat on my lap.
"Don't worry I fucking know what you mean." I stated, "As ninjas we have the risk of not coming back alive. Yukiko being a CIA thingamajig shares the same risk we do." Aoi nodded and snuggled into my chest. I gave her a squeeze and held her in my arms. After a while, I felt a light breathing at the base of my neck. I peered down to see Aoi asleep. Her face was calm and showed no signs of sadness. I chuckled lightly and lifted her up into my arms bridal style. I carried the shorty down the stairs and into her room. After laying her down on her bed, I removed her glasses and shoes and put them where they belong. Then I turned to leave the room and shut the door behind me.
Aoi POV
I woke up in fear as my dream turned for the worse. I sat up in bed gasping for air.
"It's not real, it's not real." I mumbled over and over trying to calm myself down. I sighed as my heart rate steadied and I took in one deep breath and let it out. I rubbed my head and reached for my glasses. I found them on my nightstand and put them on. Next, I grabbed my cellphone and checked the time; it read 3:15 AM. I sighed and headed out of my room. I waltzed down the stairs while holding on tightly to the railing since it was dark. I reached the bottom and took a left to where the living room usually was. I stubbed my toe on something and jumped back only to bump into something else. I fell to the floor and landed on my behind.
"Stupid stuff," I growled under my breath. I held my toe and rubbed it in the darkness.
"What are you doing? Yes what are you doing?" I heard Zetsu question behind me. I jumped to my feet and turned around.
"Zetsu is that you?" I questioned confused.
"Yes." Both sides answer. I sighed and took out my cellphone. Then I lit up the area with the light of the cellphone. I jumped back a little at Zetsu who had a dead raccoon in his hand.
"What you doing?" I questioned in a singsong voice. Zetsu sighed and headed in the direction of the kitchen.
"Eating. What does it look like?" Zetsu responded then he headed towards the kitchen door and left me all alone. I chuckled and took a seat on the couch.
Yukiko POV
My alarm rang waking me up. I sighed and got up. Today's the day… yay. It was now 4:30 AM and all needed to do was get dressed, grab my supplies and say goodbye. This isn't going to be easy… I quickly got dressed and grabbed my case filled with many guns. I put the case over my shoulder and turned on the lights in the hallway. I walked down the stairs and turned on the lights in the process. The living room lit up to reveal Aoi lying on the couch. Her head snapped towards me as soon as the lights turned on.
"Yukiko, good morning!" She exclaimed in a cheery tone. This isn't right…
"Good morning Aoi." I forced a smile on my lips and headed to her. She got up from her spot on the couch and met me halfway.
"Yukiko, I made breakfast for you!" She added in the same cheerful tone. She's forcing herself to be happy…. So it won't be hard on her or me…
"Sure I liked some breakfast." I agreed to her offer and followed her to the kitchen. She skid over to the stove and took out a plate from inside the oven. She set it on the small table in the kitchen and directed me to sit. I took a seat and began to eat my egg and potato omelet.
"Aren't you going to eat," I questioned through bites. She shook her head and got me a glass of orange juice. I drank the juice and finished my omelet. I checked the time and it read 4:58 AM.
"Is it time for you to go Yukiko?" Aoi questioned. I nodded and got up from my seat. I adjusted the bag on my shoulder. I headed to the garage and Aoi followed behind. Her face showed that she was hurt and didn't want me to go. This hurts to me too but it hurts more when you give me that face. I sighed and started the engine to my car. I set my bag down on the seat next to me and rolled down the window to Aoi.
"Goodbye Aoi I'll see you…" I trailed off at the end not sure, when I'll see her.
"Later!" she finished for me, "I will see you later because Yukiko will come back to me! Yukiko will live!" I chuckled and gave one last wave before rolling up the window. Then I drove out of the garage and into the street. I took one last glance at the house before I left and saw Aoi standing outside barefoot and waving. I smiled in happiness and sadness. This might be the last time I see her, this might be the last time I see my friends and this might be the last time I see our house.
"I hope they can take care of the little idiot," I mumbled to myself as I placed my seatbelt on and drove faster.
Aoi POV
I walked out of the house and stood outside waving to Yukiko. She turned back to me and stared. I grinned and waved some more. I felt eyes on the back of my head and turned around to see Hidan.
"She left?" Hidan questioned. I nodded and put on a brave face. Hidan chuckled and patted my head.
"Let's go inside." He pulled my arm and tugged me inside the house. Everyone else was awake and dressed.
"Aoooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-!" Squealed Tobi as he jumped me into a hug. I jumped back and kicked the masked boy. He grabbed my foot and hugged it.
"Get the hell off me!" I shouted as I landed a kick in his masked face. He retracted his arms from my foot and started to whimper.
"Aoi-chan no like Tobi?" Tobi questioned.
"No," I answered in a deadly tone.
"BUT TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" Tobi gasped. I shook my head and headed up the stairs.
"Tobi is not a good boy," I mumbled on my way to my room. I looked the door and entered the bathroom. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and hair and got dressed. Then I unlocked the door to my room, put my phone in my pocket and headed upstairs. I entered the painting room and took a seat on a chair in front of my latest creation. This will help me pass time.
Three Hours Later
"Just need to add this little detail and I am done." I told myself as I scrunched my eyes in concentration. My latest painting was almost done three days ahead of schedule. Then a knock sound at the door. I stopped and set the paintbrush down to see who had the need to bother me. Itachi poked his head through the opened door.
"What do you want Itachi?" I questioned as I turned to finish the painting.
"Well today is when we usually meet to check your memory." Itachi informed me.
"Mm hm," I agreed. Then I did one final stroke and I was done. "DONE!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Now I just need to put my name on it. I saw a hand rip the paintbrush out of my hand; I whirled around to face Itachi in anger.
"What did you-" Itachi grabbed me by the back of the shirt and flung me over his shoulder.
"WHAT THE? PUT ME DOWN!" I demanded form the weasel, "PUT ME DOWN YOU BASTARD!" Itachi walked down the stairs and tossed me into Momo's therapy room. He shut the door behind him and took a seat on the couch across from me.
"Now let us begin," Itachi stated monotone. I sighed and took a seat on the couch across from the Uchiha. "Do you not remember something? Or is there a part of your memory that you wonder what happened during that time?" I thought for a moment.
"Yeah yesterday at the beach!" I exclaimed in response, "I don't remember getting to the woods!" Itachi nodded, got up and stood in front of me with his finger pointed at my forehead. I got comfortable on the couch and nodded. Itachi tapped my head with his index and middle finger. My head tipped back at the force of the poke. The memory of the beach played in my head and I realized why Hidan was angry.
"Oh I see now." I mumbled.
"Did it return?" Itachi questioned. I nodded and Itachi and I fist pumped in success. I got up and left the room in search of Hidan. I waved to Itachi and headed for the albino's room. I knocked on the door and it was answered by said albino.
"What do you want bitch?" Hidan questioned.
"Sorry I made you apologize," I stated and rubbed the back of my head. Hidan looked confused at first but then he smiled. He rubbed my head and smirked.
"That doesn't fucking matter because I did fucking yell at you." Hidan commented. I nodded and turned to take my leave. "Wait!" Hidan shouted. I turned to the Jashinist and stared at him. He held out his Jashin necklace in front of me.
"Eh?" I tilted my head to the side in confusion.
"It's for you," Hidan looked away and covered his face with his free hand. From what I could see, he was trying to cover a blush with his hand. I picked up the necklace and slipped it to my neck. I examined it and let it hung from my neck. Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see Hidan gawking at me.
"Thank you Hidan I like it this much!" I spread my arms as much as I could to present the amount. Hidan blushed lightly and smiled. I grinned in return.
"Y-you're welcome." Hidan quickly shut the door as the blush on his face smeared.
Hidan POV
Aoi looked at me with joy-filled eyes as she showed how much she loved the necklace. I blushed and smiled. She gave me a joyful grin; her teeth's were straight and white. I blushed even harder, took a step back and quickly shut the door. I slid to the floor after locking the door and put my hands on my face. How could I act like such a fucking dork? I had this planned out so well in my head but it just came out like fucking that… sigh! I'm such a fucking dork! I grabbed my nails and dug them into the skin of my left arm. The sharp points clawed into my skin ripping apart flesh and exposing veins, muscle and tons of blood. I inhaled the smell of blood and sighed. Then I dug further into my arm and exposed some more of the precious liquid. This always makes me feel fucking better!
Aoi POV
I stood staring at Hidan's door confused. Then I shrugged my shoulders and examined the necklace. The necklace came up to my abdomen.
"What are you doing?" Questioned Sasori. I turned my head to see Sasori, Tobi, Zetsu, Kakuzu and Deidara walking down the hallway towards me. I let go of the necklace and turned to greet them.
"Nothing," I replied as they neared me.
"Where did you get that necklace?" Kakuzu interrogated.
"Hidan gave it to me!" I answered as I held the Jashin necklace up for them to see.
"NO WAY, UN!" Deidara shouted pointing a finger at me.
"HIDAN HAS THE HOTS FOR AOI-CHAN!" Shouted Tobi directly after Deidara. Everyone gave Tobi a wtf face.
"He gave this me as an apology present… I think." I informed.
"You think?" Questioned Zetsu. I nodded and he cackled. "You really are slow! Don't say that to her!"
"Zetsu-san let's go," Tobi grabbed Zetsu arm and directed him away from the rest of us.
"Let's get out of his front door and have a conversation in private instead." Kakuzu suggested. I shook my head and headed to the stairs.
"where are you going, un?" questioned Deidara.
I took and glance back and replied, "to finish a painting." Deidara made an 'oh' face.
"After that I'll talk with you guys," I added, "You can come with me if you want." Kakuzu, Sasori and Deidara exchanged glances and then followed me. We arrived at the painting room. I quickly finished the painting and signed it with my name. Then I turned to the guys.
"So what do you want to talk about?" I headed to the door and directed them to follow me. They followed and I led them to a small den. We all took a seat on the various couches. I sat in a black armchair, Sasori sat in a loveseat with Deidara and Kakuzu sat on a chair that made it seem as if he was a leader of an evil organization.
"We should train you," Sasori stated breaking the dense silence. Everyone turned to stare at him.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean to train you, as in fighting and things like that." Sasori explained with boredom in his voice. Deidara nodded next to him.
"That would be a good idea, un!" Deidara commented.
"Yes let's go outside and train you then." Kakuzu stood up, opened the window and jumped out. Deidara and Sasori jumped out the window directly after Kakuzu. I looked out the window and noticed we were on the third floor.
"They left me up here…" I mumbled.
"YOUR FIRST LESSON IS TO FIND A WAY DOWN WITHOUT FALLING!" Kakuzu shouted, "YOU CAN'T USE THE STAIRS, YOU MUST GO THROUGH THE WINDOW!"
"OKAY!" I screamed. I looked out the window and gulped. It's now or never… I stuck my foot out the window and placed it on the ledge. I stuck my other foot out and then my body. I gripped the top of the window and started slowly moving towards a pipe. I grabbed the pipe and started to climb down. I reached the second floor and grabbed on tightly as a huge wind passed me. I rewrapped my hands and started my climb down. I felt the ground under my feet in a matter of seconds. I let go of the pipe and stood on the ground.
Next, I gazed up at where I had come from and was shocked to see how I could climb down such a high place. I turned to face the boys with a bored expression.
"You were too slow do it again!" Kakuzu demanded. Deidara lifted me up into his arms and jumped. His jump managed to get us back inside the den. I sighed as Deidara jumped out and left me behind. I sighed and took a glance of my surroundings. There is a ledge on each floor, a pipe…. Hmmmm stepped onto the ledge and grabbed onto it so I was dangling from it by my arms. Next, I swung my body and released the ledge. I held my hands out and as soon as I felt the other ledge, I grabbed onto it. I looked down and noticed there was no ledge. Well it's now or never. I let go off the ledge and quickly rolled into a ball. I twirled in a circle and hit the floor a few seconds after. I unrolled and got up.
My head spin in circles as the dizziness hit me. I grasped it and cursed under my breath.
"Do it again." Kakuzu demanded, "and do it better!" Deidara lifted me up into his arms and brought me to the den. He jumped out and left me to find my way down again. I sighed and began the process of getting down.
TWO HOURS LATER
I tried so many different ways to get off the third floor yet every time Kakuzu told me to do it again. Deidara brought me up for the millionth time and jumped out. I sighed and rubbed my head trying to think of a way to get down.
"Strudelu! I'm going to just jump down." I grumbled. I opened the window as far as it could go, took a few steps back and ran towards the window at full speed. I pushed myself from the base of the window and curled into a ball. I closed my eyes tight and braced myself for impact. The impact came fast against my knees. I rolled a few times against the floor and came to a stop. I uncurled and rubbed at my sore knees and head. I stood up and faced Kakuzu and the others.
"Do I have to do it again?" I questioned. Kakuzu shook his head and gave me thumbs up. Deidara and Sasori clapped. I sighed and tipped in the heel of my feet. The world turned blurry as I fell backwards. I hit the floor but felt no pain as I did. Soon I drifted into unconsciousness.
TEN HOURS LATER
I opened my eyes and heard the sound of machines. The loud beep-beep-beep noise of a heart monitor sounded through the room. I reached around for my glasses and found them on a nightstand next to me. I placed them on my face and sat up. Next, I stared at my arm where an IV and many other wires were connected. I placed my hand at the base of the wires and gave it a yank. The wires quickly came out of my arm. The machines then started to accelerate its beeping noises.
"Shut up stupid machine!" I growled as I stood up and wrapped the covers around me. From my surroundings, I could tell I was in Akiko's hospital room in the mansion. I looked at the digital clock on the wall and saw it read 10:30PM. Yukiko should be home! In opened the door and dashed down the hallway. All of a sudden, my body flung forward. I hit the floor roughly and face first.
"Ugh!" I got up and rubbed my now pained face.
"Aoi what are you doing up?" Exclaimed Konan as she ran down the hall followed by a panicked Hidan, Akiko, Hana, and Momo. I stood staring at them and didn't see Yukiko.
"What are you doing up?" Questioned Akiko, "You need to rest!"
"Where is Yukiko?" I interrogated.
"You fainted and now you decide to get up and walk around as soon as you wake up!" Exclaimed Momo dodging my question.
"Where is Yukiko?" I repeated.
"Honey you need to get more sleep to regain your strength!" demanded Konan yet again dodging my question.
"Where. Is. Yukiko?" I separated each word and formed them into a threat. My eyes narrowed as I waited for someone to reply. Everyone stayed silent and just looked at each other and then at me.
"Yukiko is not home yet." Hidan finally answered for the group. My face instantly formed a frown as I realized she was late. She's always late she'll be here soon…
"See; was it that hard to answer the question?" I grinned. The girls darted their eyes as soon as they saw my fake smile plastered on my face. Hidan stared at me dead in the eyes.
Well that's it for this chapter.
Don't you want to know what happened to Yukiko?
Place your bets on whether or not Yukiko lives or not.

Strudelu- "screw you" or "screw this"
Review otherwise Hidan will rip out your insides and give them to Kakuzu to sell over eBay.
