I'm so sorry I've been gone so long! But I'm updating now, so I just wanted to let you know that I have not died, nor have I dropped off the face of the Earth. I've just been busy with a final for my online class, and also been busy with my dad bugging me to go for Battalion Commander (he's our instructor, and he thinks either my friend DB or I can do it! ^^;)

Anyway, this is for Season's Nightmares!

(Another note:

Normal Zetsu when in ""

Other, dark side Zetsu

Both Zetsu's)

Pein paced around his small office after his communication with Summer SeäSon, he seemed to be on edge. Something isn't right. She seemed a bit off when we were discussing our global crises. Sitting down, he took a sip of the tea on his table. However, may be I am overanalyzing this… perhaps she was simply tired, or worried about her organization. She doesn't have any higher-ups to back her now, and she is in way over her head, as she is only a teenage girl… who has been immortal for centuries! He sighed and sat down. It's probably nothing at all.

"Hey, Konan, what's wrong with Pein?" Kisame asked the blue-haired paper wielder.

"I'm not quite sure, but it looks as though he's been practically pacing a hole in the floor! This all started when he began meditating and speaking to Summer through meditation, maybe something's wrong in their dimension."

"Tobi thinks that Summer-chan and Natty-chan and the other girls will be able to fix any problems over there!"

"Shut up, Tobi."

-DIMENSION SKIP-

"Yeah, I really do miss him. Although I'm not quite desperate to be with Hidan, he's the other half of my personality. Cruel yet funny, evil yet good, and a bit quirky!" Summer gushed.

"Sounds like you just want to see him again. We could probably find a way to get to their dimension."
"No. Don't waste your energy. I can communicate with them fine, though we probably should check in on that traitor, Danny."

"You can go, Summer, I've got to fix up some security programs."

-LOCATION SKIP-

Danny sat in the jail-like basement of the massive SeäSon house, hitting a small basketball against the wall. After his brother, S'Fall had abandoned him –yet again- he had gone against a court of the most unbiased Akebonokage members. His charges were: treason, assisted murder, homicide, and lying under the oath of Akebonokage. Sighing, Danny flicked his fingers, trying to get a spark. Just one spark of his blackened fire that could get him out, however, he knew it was hopeless. Fall SeäSon had simply put a spell on him, separating him from his magic until he had been thoroughly punished. Then his memory would be erased, and his magic given back. He knew it was in a bottle in Fall's "laboratory". That's where she kept any separated magic she received, or came across.

He looked through his cell bars and saw only door open, and let in some light as Summer, the girl who he had attempted to overthrow for his brother, walked into the hallway. Pulling up a chair, she sat down in front of him and started.

"So. Why'd you do it?"

"I don't have to answer to you!" Danny spat out as the pale girl leaned back in the chair.

"Fine. Don't. I just came down to let you know that you're spending a mortal life sentence here. So have fun for the next sixty years in here."

"WHAT? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!"

"You helped kill Kenzi. You faked your own death. You tried to help your brother kidnap me, and you also lied to the ENTIRE organization! And you have the NERVE to call that NOTHING?" Summer screamed at the unfaithful brat.

"He was FAMILY! FAMILY COMES BEFORE ALL ELSE!"

"Oh, you mean FAMILY THAT ABANDONED YOU FOR POWER AND MONEY? And you like to betray the organization and friends who gave you EVERYTHING? Food, clothes, money, powers beyond mortal belief, and most of all PEOPLE WHO CARED ABOUT YOU?"

"Well… I…" Danny sighed, "He's my brother. And although he abandoned me, I just can't do that to him. I'm not exactly proud of what I did, but…"

"BUT WHAT?"

"But I believed- and still believe- him and what he stands for, we're SPECIAL, we have POWERS that can change the world! Normal mortals ARE below us! They just… aren't as powerful, or as useful as we are, and they USE us for THEMSELVES! We're called "freaks" and then we're LOCKED AWAY until they need us again! We can't let THEIR mortal needs control US!"

"Then you obviously don't understand the gifts you had, and why we protect humans."

"I don't see the point! They don't live very long, they're relatively stupid- with a few MINOR exceptions- and they don't do much!"

"I'll give you that, but they have LIVES that they should live to their fullest, Danny!" Summer sighed and put her head in her hands. "When we were raising you, you were always such a good kid. Kind, loving, understanding, even to mortals… but now I see what S'Fall has done to you. Goodbye, Danny."

And with that, Summer walked out of the basement for good.
