"Tori?" asked a familiar voice, and I jerked upright, my eyes searching for the person who awoke me. Tobi stood behind me, his mask already discarded and his cloak falling to the floor. I smiled, happiness flooding through my body at the sight of him. He was back! Finally, someone to talk to.
"You've fed recently." He said, and I nodded, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear as I stood up from the desk. He watched me come closer, his eyes narrowing as he calculated my movements.
"I have questions." I said, and I stopped moving, standing still before him. He quirked a simgle eyebrow, and I sighed, smiling soflty at him.
"Well can they wait? We are leaving shortly." He said, and I took a single step back, shock in my expression.
"Where are we going?" I asked, looking towards the window. The curtains were pulled shut but there was a sliver of sunlight poking through. He turned from me, walking towards a tiny set of drawers as he started rummaging through the drawers. I sat on the bed, watching him with curiosity in my gaze.
"The land of fire." He said, and I looked at the window, snapping my gaze back to Tobi as he was suddenly in front of me, forcing me to lean back or accidentally kiss him. His crimson eyes locked with mine, and he seemed to search for something hidden there. His eyes narrowed as he surged forward again, pinning me to the bed with his body as he captured my lips in a hungry kiss. I gasped, my eyes opening and then falling shut as I liked the feeling of him kissing me. His kisses trailed down my neck until his mouth was beside my ear.
"You read the legend." He whispered, and I started to struggle under his grip, a wave of fear running through me at his voice. How did he know?
"You've also talked to a demon. Tell me, how was that?" he asked, and he laughed, kissing me again and causing me to still my body. He sat up, sitting on my hips but allowing me the freedom of my arms. They proceeded to beat on his legs, which made him laugh louder.
"What did you think of the legend?" he asked, and I let my arms fall limp, my eyes half shut in thought.
"That was part of my questions." I said, and he leaned down, his eyes locked onto my own. I could smell him, my heart thudding faster and faster in my chest as my own eyes flared open in recognition and desire. He smirked, his breath fawning over my eyes as I started to struggle again. He kissed my on the forehead as I answered in a breathy tone.
"Is there any truth in the legend?" I asked, and Tobi's face seemed to age in a moment. He looked hundreds of years old, not the deceptive 20 something he looked before. His eyes softened, searching mine again as the red faded into the color of my own. I blinked, my body trembling in recognition, before everything faded and he swiftly got off me.
"Everything." He said, and he poked me in the forehead, my eyes widening before falling shut in unconsciousness.
I woke while we were traveling, jumping from tree to tree. I was on Tobi's back, and a backpack of some sort was on mine. I left my body loose, letting my eyes watch the trees blur by. It was night, the cool wind bringin scents of the forest and whiffs of Tobi's scent. I snuggled closer to him, burying my nose in his shoulder and still watching the trees fly by.
"So youre awake ya?" he asked, and I nodded slightly, enjoying the feeling of being carried. We continued traveling in silence, each enjoying the peaceful night. Tobi sighed, pausing a little longer on one of the branches and glancing over his shoulder to meet my eyes. I looked at his red gaze, my eyes caught as if in a trance.
"Go back to sleep. Ill explain when you wake up." He said, and I let the world go dark.
I woke up alone. I looked around the room, starting to believe it was a dream the longer I looked around. I was in the bed, which was a first time, but then again I don't remember falling asleep. Everything was rather blurry after I met up with Gaara the second time. I ran my hands through my hair, letting it fall back in front of my eyes as I threw back the blanket with the fan symbol on it. I traced the symbol lovingly, my eyes caught on the window. It was sunny out, so it was day, and the curtains were drawn, but I could hear something scratching against the glass.
"Tobi?" I asked, hoping it was him. The scratching continued, and I could hear the wind whipping across the window. I got up, stretching out my muscles as I inched closer to the window. I was starting to feel my thirst building back up, and I sighed, deciding on visiting the village later tonight and to talk to Gaara. I peered cautiously outside of the window, and I almost passed out form shock.
"Trees…..so it wasn't a dream." I said, and a deep chuckle from the door made me spin around, the wind whipping through the tiny space of the room. The person moved forward again, and I looked upon Tobi's mask and sighed.
"It was no dream, sweet." He said, and I looked from him to the window then back to him.
"Why are we in a forest?" I asked, and he laughed again, shutting the door behind him and stripping himself of his mask and cloak. They were thrown against the wall in a tiny fit of anger, and I heard the mask crack slightly. Tobi didn't seem to notice.
"We are here to capture the kyuubi." He said, and it was my turn to smirk as I stalked over to Tobi. My thoughts were a million miles away as I answered him in a slightly snarky tone of voice.
"So then we are finally here to fix your biggest failure huh, Madara-kun?" I asked, and Tobi was suddenly before me, pinning me to the wall behind me with his arms and a kunai pressed tightly to my throat. My eyes narrowed as I blew at him, the wind sharpening and slashing his cheek as he ducked out of the way as best as he could given the circumstances.
"You know nothing, kunoichi." He said, and I grinned, showing large fangs as my eyes bled to red as anger overwhelmed me.
"I know enough to know that you are not who you say you are, Tobi." I said, and he blinked, confusion briefly flitting across his face before he schooled his emotions back into calm.
"I don't know what you are talking about Tori." He said, and I laughed in his face, the wind whipping around us again, trying to get in between Tobi and I. He shook his head, a small smile on his face as he captured my lips again. I squirmed, breaking the kiss in a huff of anger.
"You really need to stop doing that without my permission, Tobi." I said, and his eyes narrowed again, pressing more of his surprisingly heavy weight on my frame.
"Permission?" he asked, an eyebrow quirked slightly as he leaned a fraction closer to me. The kunai, forgotten sliced into my skin, a trail of blood leaking slowly out of the cut. His eyes were suddenly riveted towards my neck, and he licked along the cut slowly, the kunai suddenly buried in the wall behind me. His hand gripped the kunai until it was slightly bent from the pressure as e continued to clean my neck.
"You still taste so good, Tori-kun." He said, and my eyes fell shut at the cleansing feeling of his tongue on my neck. The fury drained out of me at once and my body relaxed against my will, leaving me almost boneless in his grip. I felt his fangs plunge into my neck and I screamed, but not in pain. It felt like we fused into one being for a brief moment, that I was allowed behind Tobi's shields.
"Do you still want permission, Tori?" he asked, his voice husky and deep. I shook my head, my eyes locking onto his again as he pulled me up with him, crushing me to his chest. I could hear his heart beating underneath my ear, and I closed my eyes, relaxing and smiling as it continued to hammer quickly before starting to slow down.
" Do you know what you do to me?" he asked, and I moved away from his chest, startled. I glanced at his face, surprised to see dark eyes again as they locked with my own. His face blurred, and his hair seemed to grow in a matter of a few seconds as I saw him with a blurry outline of someone else behind him. The person behind him was watching me with pure love in his eyes, and it made me tear up, reaching for the person as I blinked and everything was normal again.
"Tori?" he asked, and I looked at him sleepily, my eyes half lidded as the wounds on my neck continued to leak blood.
"Shit, why didn't you tell me you needed to feed so soon?" he asked, and shrugged, my body heavy. He looked towards the window, seeing the sun was still up, and then he picked me up bridal style and almost ran out of the room, intent on finding someone. Someone had to be around in the darkness. If not, Tori would be lost, and he could not afford that.
He ran around the corner of the building, almost running into the blonde shinobi he was partnered up with. He skidded to a stop, carrying Tori and making sure she didn't get hit anywhere. He realized only too late that he wasn't wearing his mask or his cloak, so he was revealed to the blonde. And the blonde was getting into a defensive stance, his blue eye narrowed on the intruders.
"Deidara!"
