Chibi in a box Chapter 19
What to do at the hospital
Deidara and Hidan laughed together as Deidara tackled Hidan. They were sent out side by June to waste some energy, since they almost broke Itachi's IV stand again.
Hidan threw Deidara off himself and smirked. "Come here blonde," Hidan laughed as he head locked Deidara. Deidara struggled in the head lock as Hidan ruffled his hair.
"Not so fast hmm," Deidara laughed, Deidara front flipped forward and landed on Hidan but still in a head lock.
"Ow," Hidan muttered trying to catch his breath. The two tumbled around the outside of the hospital rough housing laughing their heads off.
"Hidan get off me yeah," Deidara huffed. Hidan pinned Deidara to the ground and sat on his back. "It's not fair, your bigger than me."
"If it's not fair how 'bout I throw you in the fountain," Hidan threatened. "You wouldn't yeah," Deidara growled. "But I would," Hidan laughed.
Deidara glared at Hidan and put his hand on his ankle. "I'll tell Seri," Deidara threatened opening his hand mouth.
"Try it you- Oi! You bit me!" Hidan yelled getting off of Deidara. Deidara laughed and got up to run to the fountain.
"Guys Seri wants you back in for lunch!" Kisame called walking to Deidara. Hidan shook his head in anger and ran towards Deidara.
"Kisame watch out!" Deidara yelled getting ready for Hidan to hit him. Hidan sprinted towards Deidara to push him into the fountain.
"I got you now blonde," Hidan snarled ready to push Deidara. Deidara side stepped Hidan with relief as Hidan ran into the fountain.
"Not today Hi- Ahhhhh!" Hidan grabbed onto Deidara's shirt and dragged him in the fountain with him as Deidara grabbed onto Kisame.
All three barreled into the cold fountain water.
"I hate you," Hidan growled as he looked at his small hands. The three were reduced to small chibis.
"Well how are we going to get back now?" Kisame growled. "Don't ask me fish sticks!" Hidan yelled.
"Fish sticks! You better watch your mouth, you're in my element," Kisame threatened as he sunk under the water.
"What are you doin' now?" Hidan sneered. Kisame grabbed hold of his ankle from under the water and dragged him down.
Hidan struggled under the water the get out of Kisame's grip. "So what did you call me?" Kisame laughed. "Fish sticks!" Hidan tried answering but water filled his lungs.
"Knock it off!" Deidara yelled standing up on the water. Kisame dragged Hidan back up to the surface begrudgingly.
Hidan coughed up water, greedily breathing in air.
"You little son of-" "Mommy! Mommy! Look what's in the fountain'" a voice yelled.
"Dive!" Kisame yelled pushing the two under the water.
"Mommy! There were little people in the fountain!" the voice yelled again. "Yes, yes, I know honey," the mom laughed.
"But they were really there!"
Kisame brought the two back up and watch as a little girl and her mom left the hospital. "Just great! We can't let anybody see us too," Kisame groaned.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm hopping a ride hmm," Deidara said forming a clay bird in his hands.
"And that would be?" Hidan asked. "This," Deidara said showing him the small clay bird. "How is some wimpy bird supposed to-"
Smoke appeared around them as Deidara stood proudly in front of his clay creation. The bird grew to the size that all three of them could ride.
"Good work," Kisame complimented not sparing him a glance. "Thanks hmm," Deidara said fist bumping his fellow rouge ninja.
Deidara, Kisame and Hidan boarded the bird quickly. "So, how do we make this thing go?" Hidan asked.
"Like this!" Kisame yelled pushing Hidan off the bird. The bird took off the second Hidan fell off. "Get me back up there you little-"
"I'll let you up if you buy us to items from the vending machine hmm," Deidara called. "Stop cutting me off when I'm about to swear for-"
"You'll be walking the rest of the way if you don't buy," Kisame taunted. "Fine," Hidan muttered.
Deidara lowered the bird with a satisfied smirk. "Get on," Kisame said pulling Hidan up.
The bird took off once more. It flew up into the air. "What level was Itachi on?" Deidara asked. "He's on the fifth floor," Kisame answered looking down.
They flew slowly and gracefully higher into the air. "I wonder what would happened if I pushed you?" Kisame joked to Hidan.
"I wonder what would happen if throttled you?" Hidan wondered back. "Try it," Kisame growled. Hidan put his hands up in defense.
"They left the window open for us hmm," Deidara said soaring to the window. "You just have to appreciate the architecture of this building, it'd be a shame though if someone, were too, blow it up un," Deidara laughed.
Kisame and Hidan laughed as the bird landed on the window sill. Inside was Serenity and Itachi talking.
"And then he said to me, "I'll do the best Itachi impression you've ever seen!" Then Nico started sound just like you! It was insane! He said, "I am Itachi Uchiha! Fear me!" Then he started to run around the room flapping his cloak in the air!" Serenity laughed.
"You're brother was a fanatic over the show," Itachi chuckled.
"He used to cosplay all the time with Henry, Blake, and Evergreen. He usually went as you, Evergreen was Sakura, Blake was Sasuke, and Henry was Naruto, a really tall Naruto."
"They all sound lovely," Itachi replied. "You would have loved Nico, he was so funny!" Serenity laughed.
Itachi smiled sitting up slightly. "How are you feeling?" Serenity asked frowning a bit.
"I've been feeling much more adequate than last week." Itachi smiled and took a breath. "Thank you for sharing your stories in the mean time."
Serenity nodded happily with a grin. "Your welcome, why not talk to my brother," Serenity laughed hugging Itachi lightly.
Itachi, with a ghost of a smile, returned to gesture slowly. "So how are Konan, Sasori and Kakuzu's treatments working on you?"
"They have been good to me. I should be discharged in three days despite this diese. With the combination with medical ninjutsu and you're worlds medical advances, anyone could be cured accurately and quickly."
Serenity nodded her head listening carefully. "Tomorrow your doing the laser eye surgery to get your eyes fixed, right?" Serenity asked cocking her head to the right.
Itachi nodded his head silently with a gleam in his eye. He was excite to be able to see clearly again, day to day life with blurry vision was not the funniest.
"We should just fly through and find someone else to turn us back," Kisame suggested looking at the others. They nodded their small heads in response and flew through the room silently as Serenity talked on.
They flew outside the door and into a waiting area. They spotted June and Tobi right away.
"I hate you," June growled lowly so only Madara could hear.
"I know you do," Madara chuckled lowly not sparing June a glance. "Just give me the remote dork or else," June snarled quietly.
Madara had take the remote from June and in his Tobi persona, he turned on a kids channel, currently My Little Pony was on.
"Stupid rainbow barf town," June muttered crossing her arms. Her bored blue eyes looking over at the mask wearing man.
"You really are quite amusing," he chuckled still not looking at June. June shot up from her seat and glared at him.
"Argh! You're so frustrating!" June yelled glaring at him. She picked up a pillow from the couch and chucked it at him. Madara chuckled and caught the pillow with ease, but what he was not expect was to be hit with a pillow from behind.
His head flew forward as a proud Ashton stood behind him.
She grinned widely as she watched him pick himself off from the ground. He glared at her first but his eyes softened when he saw that smile she wore.
A kind and bright smile. Her short hair and brown eyes reminded him of Rin. The way she clasped her hands together when she was excited or the way she laughed.
Obito picked up a pillow and threw it at Ashton. It hit Ashton square in the face.
"I declare pillow war on thou!" Ashton yelled jumping over the couch to chase him with a pillow.
June sighed to herself as the two chased each other.
"Hey June!" Kisame called out. June looking behind her to see the three on the bird. She stuck her hand out for the bird to land on.
The three got off onto her hand with relief. "Oi! Turn us back shorty!" Hidan yelled shaking his small fist at June.
"You're in no position to be saying that dork. I could squash you any second." June rolled her eyes and walked to the bathroom ready to change them back as Sasori watched her pass.
Lightly June as been stressing and one night she just had a moment. Sasori, being to stubborn and embarrassed to admit his human needs sometimes, went down stairs in the middle of the night for a snack.
June being awake with tears in her eyes as she looked at the bills wiped her eyes furiously as he walked in.
He sat by her and comforted her the best he could while he snacked. In the end it just made them better friends, but Sasori denies the fact that they're friends.
It's not like Sasori had 'friends', right? Wrong, and he knew it, June now could be categorized as 'friend' along with that brat Serenity. Ashton had yet to make an impression on him.
Speaking of Ashton, where was the devil?
Ashton's POV
I sprinted after Obito waving my pillow in the air. He just ninja'd away dodging ever attack.
He turned around and started to chase me. I laughed and ran away trying to dodge him. He grabbed my wrist rather harshly and pulled me towards him.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
What? Why does my chest-
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
My cheeks flamed pink and I felt light headed. "Is everything okay Ashton?" Obito asked in his Tobi persona.
"Yeah just a little light headed," I said pressing my back to wall and sliding down it to sit.
He sat down next to me and shoved the pillow in my lap. I hugged it with a pout.
"My heads feels so weird," I murmured hugging the pillow tighter.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
"It's probably something you ate idiot," he muttered nudging my side. "I'm not an idiot lollipop," I laughed hitting him back.
"What did you eat? Some gum from the floor?" I laughed at his comment and grabbed my sides.
"No that's-" "Delicious, that what you were going to say, right?" he interrupted smiling under his mask.
"No!" I laughed falling to my side letting out a snort. I stopped laughing for a moment and stared at him.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
Obito started to chuckle as he clutched his sides. I laughed along with him for a while until our laughter died off.
I leaned over by him and slowly reached my hand to his mask. "You should take off your mask," I suggested setting a finger in the cheek area of his mask.
He put his hand around mine and set my hand down. "No." His voice was low and serious, not sounding pleasant.
"Why not?" I asked tugging at the mask. He put my hand down again. "Not now Ashton."
He didn't seemed happy with the request, I knew Obito was sensitive about his face.
He lowered my hand further and placed it to the ground. "You never told us what your grandmother requested," Obito hinted at.
"She wants us to come over. Probably for some family reunion, otherwise she just wants to see her favorite grandchildren," I explained.
"I don't think it's a good idea to go," Obito suggested looking at me. "I know but I really want to see her, it's been a year. I've been avoiding family like the plague lightly. I'm a freaking disgrace," I sighed scratching at the ground.
"When I was twelve I was known as the black sheep of the clan." "Harsh man," I replied.
"Would you care if we visited? I want to go, after all, you have the final say," I asked brushing my hair behind me ear.
He hummed to himself in thought before nodding slowly. "Pein is not going to pleased with my decision but why not, you have me curious now," he chuckled lowly.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
My chest felt light and my stomach twisted itself. I tried ignoring the feeling but my cheeks reflected what I was feeling.
"Which side of the family is she on?" Obito asked. "My mom's, we don't really talk to my dad's side of the family much."
"What is she like?" "Her names Anastasia and grandma's like a more stubborn and older version of me!" I laughed. Obito frowned and shook his head. "I can't imagine someone more stubborn then you," he sighed.
"I can," I laughed scratching at the ground again. "Hmm?" "Young Kakashi with rules, he was so-" "Don't even start talking about him."
"Sorry Mr. Evil," I sighed laying my head on the wall. "Don't call me that."
"But it's true Mr. Evil," I laughed poking his side. He ignored my comment and dug in his pouch for his eye patch Serenity gave him. It was more of a medical on then anything.
He took off his mask for a moment and put his scarf up quickly and placing the patch over his eye.
"Is this the closest I'm going to get?" I asked with dull eyes. He nodded his head with a smirk.
Ba-dump.
For the love of God what is this- No. It's not what I think it is. I refuse to admit it. I'm not in- I'm not going to say that accursed word. Nope, Ashton Coal is not in- I refuse to say it.
I'm DO NOT like him.
Ba-dump.
Crap.
Obito's POV 3rd person (during the chase)
Obito chased after Ashton in his Tobi persona. He threw pillows at her as she tried to dodge the projectiles.
Obito was getting fed up with the chase and decided to take a break. He sprinted to her and grabbed her wrist.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
He ignored the feeling swelling in his chest and held her wrist harsher and drag her to his person. Her face flamed pink and red.
Just like Rin.
Ashton had the closest facial resemblance to Rin then anyone he's every seen. Her body type may have been different but her face screamed Rin.
Her personality may have differed from her but there were these small quirks she had that only Rin did.
He was sure she didn't notice it but when she was excited she would clasp her hands together, or the way she laughed was just like Rin. When Rin laughed so hard she would let out a small snort.
Just like now after Obito had teased her. She turned bright red and stopped laughing. In turn making Obito chuckle himself. That cute snort that Rin did and after getting embarrassed.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
This feeling was a familiar feeling in his chest, he had it when Rin was alive, his chest came to life with a new feeling he hasn't felt in years.
No. This wasn't 'that' feeling, surely he could never feel this towards Ashton, of all people, Ashton.
But that smile, that gentle touch she had once you got past that aggressive shield and wall she put up.
"Would you care if we visited? I want to go, after all you have the final say," she asked brushing her hair behind her ear looking down, just like Rin.
Obito contemplated the decision while they talked, it would be good for everyone to see more of this world, but things could get troublesome if someone *cough* Hidan *cough* were to cause any troubles during the trip, but the way she looked at him and smiled made him think differently.
"Pein is not going to pleased with my decision but why not, you have me curious now," Obito chuckled lowly. Ashton's face lit up with a grin, but her cheeks flushed pink.
As he asked more questions about her family and she answered he contemplated if this was no longer a good idea.
Her grandmother being just like her? Nothing was bad with that, he lov- he favorited specific parts of her personality.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
"But it's true Mr. Evil," Ashton said with a gentle smile poking his mask. The name did suit him but it was more of a teasing manner, he did not appreciate that part.
The poke in the mask hinted that she wanted him to take off his mask. Not really wanting to he decided against it and took off his mask but quickly propped up his scarf and took out the eye patch from Serenity.
"Is that the closest I'm going to get?" she asked with a bleak face. Obito nodded his head in response.
Ashton sighed but shrugged off the idea. "Can we leave the day after Itachi is discharged?" she asked quieter fidgeting with the carpet.
"Yes, I'll convince Pein." Obito grimaced at the thought though, Pein was going to have a fit.
"You'll love her house. It's way in the country, by all the farms, they own one themselves. Even though grandpa is retired he still works on it," Ashton explained with a sweet smile.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
Why this feeling and why now? He was so close to his goal now and if what he was thinking were to happen he-
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
Obito Uchiha didn't- no, this word he wasn't going to even speak of. This despicable word was not welcomed. Lo- This word was not going to blossom between them awkwardly like a cliche roman- movie.
Obito Uchiha did not like Ashton Coal.
"Thanks again." Ashton's voice ripped him away from his thoughts.
"I kind of miss her, she's the only family who I really like."
Obito felt his heart soften, relating to how it feels. "Enough with the sap though," Ashton laughed getting up.
She grabbed a pillow from the ground and slapped Obito with it. "Pillow wars shall resume!"
Ashton laughed running away. Obito shook his head but got up anyways grabbing a pillow.
Putting on his Tobi persona he yelled, "Wait up Ashton!" He sprinted after her, running past June with a regular sized Kisame, Deidara, and Hidan.
He dived for Ashton and grabbed her wrist yanking her back, as he grabbed her he twisted his foot around her ankle and kicked up.
She fell to the ground face first, but before impact he flipped her over. Obito pinned her arms to her sides with a smirk.
"Ha, ha, good one Tobi," she laughed with a smile.
Yes, Obito Uchiha hasn't given up on his light, Rin, but now he thinks he found a brighter light. Despite not knowing her long he felt like he knew her since his childhood. It was a nice but awkward feeling.
He smiled at Ashton warmly, he might lo-
"You're still dead for tackling me though," Ashton snarled ripping her arms from under him and flipping him over. She elbowed his forehead with a grin.
Never mind everything he said.
So what'd you think? I thought it wasn't bad.
So my editor changed their name and I would like to give them proper credit, they are now, drumroll please, dragon chibi. I'm pretty sure.
Fun fact! Ashton is always wearing a cap and Ashton can skateboard.
so that's it for now, till next time, bye!
