Hi! I'm back an with more! This is not a filler, it is a continuation of the story. So, get going!
Chibi in a box chapter 21
What to do on a road trip
Ashton's POV
"On the road again! On the road again!" Serenity sung loudly jumping up and down.
"You mean off the road again," June corrected. "June you're so mean," Serenity whined childishly.
"Guys, we're not even ready to leave yet and you're already going at it," I shook my head but smiled," the only ones up at the moment are Kisame, Pein, Konan, and Zetsu."
"Okay, I'll wake Danna and Deidara up soon then," Serenity commented.
"Ashton," Konan called walking into the room.
"Yeah?" I asked directing my full attention to he paper angel. "There isn't going to room for everyone in the van."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot I have to chibify two members," I laughed. "Why two? You only need do it to one," she asked.
"Luggage."
Konan nodded in understanding before she looked down. She fumbled with her shirt with a light blush.
"Do you mind if I sit in the front seat with you for the ride there?" she asked quietly.
Who knew Konan was one to get embarrassed easily over these kinds of things, ut it's probably because I'm her only girl friend she's had for a while.
"Of course! You don't even have to ask," I replied. "Thank you." She smiled brightly with relief. "I bet you don't want to be stuck back there with all the boys?"
"They can be quite a handful," she sighed.
"But that's when you give them paper cuts," I laughed with a devilish grin. "Shinigami Dance," she correct. "What?"
"The jutsus I've used on them in the past is Shinigami Dance."
"That must have been extremely fun," I commented.
"If I was a ninja I'd join you but I'll have to settle for hitting people with frying pans for now. Stupid chakraless body," I muttered.
"It's okay Ashton, you'd make a splendid ninja. Attacking other ninja with a frying pan would just confuse them and then you could attack even further. It would make a great weapon."
"That's totally metal, I would love to do that," I laughed loudly, but before we could continue having a great time Pein just had to come in sipping coffee wearing that T-shirt I got him. Even gods need coffee huh? Only the God of idiocy.
"Konan, can we have word before the trip starts?" Pein asked. "Yes Pein," Konan said bowing her head.
'Sorry,' she mouthed. 'It's fine,' I mouthed dismissively waving my hand. She smiled gently before disappearing upstairs with Pein.
"So, who you gonna chibify?" Serenity asked hanging upside down on the couch. "Hidan and Kakuzu I think, it would be the easiest," I replied.
I looked down at the couch to see Obito fast asleep. He was up all night last night, feel bad for him.
"How is Madara still asleep after all this ruckus? You two are loud enough as it is," June sighed looking at Obito who was snuggled up on the sofa under blankets.
"His name is Obito," I corrected.
"Attitude alert," June whistled looking away. I sighed ignoring her comment and looked at Serenity.
"Well, while you guys bicker I have to go wake up Sasori and Deidara. Then I'm going to give him his present. I got him fingerless gloves for when we're there."
"Smart," June commented.
"I'm going to go upstairs and get Itachi up. I'm glad he's finally out of the hospital, it was stressing him to no end," June said heading upstairs then disappearing in her room.
"I'm going to go get Danna and Deidara up," Serenity chirped skipping up the stairs leaving me alone.
My eyes wandered the room in the new found silence until they landed on Obito. I walked over to him and lightly shook him.
"Obito, get up," I whispered shaking him lightly. He squeezed his eyes together before moving his head to the other side.
"Get up now before I force you to," I threatened. "Is someone on their week?" he mumbled cracking an eye open.
"So what if I started my day in a pool of blood, I'll end yours that way if necessary," I growled. "You're worse than Madara sometimes," he mumbled stretching his limbs.
"But I thought you were Madara?" I teased with a grin. Obito rolled his eyes and finally got up.
"I'm glad you're awake now," I put my hand on his shoulder, "Serenity will be making breakfast soon, but for now I have to go chibify the zombies."
"Have fun with that," he muttered scratching his back then heading to the kitchen.
I jogged upstairs and into the bathroom to grab a bucket of water from Serenity's cleaning supplies. I filled the bucket up quickly with cold water.
I scurried to my room and opened my door to see Hidan sprawled out on the floor in his boxers and snoring loudly away while Kakuzu was bundled up in blankets in my bed.
"Wake up!" I yelled kicking Hidan in the head. He grabbed his head and cursed under his breath while Kakuzu rolled out of bed.
"Hurry up and get changed," I demanded hiding the bucket of water. They both glared at me silently but complied.
"So are we going to your grandmothers today?" Kakuzu asked changing his shirt. "Yeah, don't worry though. My grandparents are cool."
They both walked to the door fully changed, Hidan, not being much of a morning person was too tired to curse at me all while Kakuzu didn't really care.
"Before you to go down stairs," I picked up the bucket of water, "I need to do this." I splashed them with the cold water quickly before laughing.
"What the- you did the thing!" Hidan gasped glaring at me then looking at his small hands.
"I did the thing." "Explain," Kakuzu snarled.
I put my hand down for them both to step on and lifted them to my shoulder. "Because two people had to be chibified for the trip and you two would have resisted if I told you," I explained.
Hidan pulled on my ear angrily, red in the face. "You heathen! You're such a f-" "Do you wanna eat or no?" I snapped heading down stairs.
"I'll eat whenever I please! I don't have to eat that woman's cooking!" Hidan yelled tugging on my earlobe again. "Stop your temper tantrum," I scolded flicking him off my shoulder but he hung onto my finger.
"Ow!" I yelled shaking my hand. "You just bit me!" I yelled entering the kitchen. Everyone stared at me with questioning looks.
"This little devil just bit me!" I yelled pointing at Hidan.
Serenity giggled coming over to me. "Hidan, I made you breakfast," she said holding out her hand for him. He glared at me while stepping into Serenity's hand.
"This isn't over," he spat. "Same jerk."
I sat down next to Konan setting Kakuzu down to do whatever he pleased. Konan looked over at me with a smile.
"Hey Danna," I heard Deidara call.
I looked over at the blond grinning at Sasori. "Did you see the gloves Serenity got me hmm. I can hide my hand mouths when I'm there," he grinned shoving his hands in Sasori's face.
"That's very nice," Sasori said not paying any attention to him, continuing to eat. Deidara grinned happily, excited over his new gloves.
It was nice to see a 14 year old criminal to actually act like a his age but again, I always find it hard remember that this grinning blond has murdered somebody before.
"Is everybody done eating?" Pein asked loudly. I snapped out of my thoughts and shoveled down my food quickly.
"This is for all of you. Behave when we arrive, I don't want any suspicions from their families or the authorities. You are not to harm nor kill any of their family members. We will not use chakra when we arrive, that means no genjutsu or ninjutsu. I will allow minor taijutsu skills to show if you decide to rough house with one another," Pein lectured.
Pein rambled on till he was finished with his boring lecture. "We can leave now?" Serenity asked. "Yes."
"Road trip!"
June's POV
As I grabbed my bags a certain blond stopped me in the halls. "Yes Deidara?"
"Can I sit by you and Itachi?" he asked looking at me at eye level.
Yes eye level, the brat was my height. Maybe taller.
"Maybe on the ride back," I answered. "Let me rephrase, I'm sitting with you and Itachi hmm."
"How about no, hmm," I teased walking away. "That was even low for you yeah," he growled. I laughed and ruffled his hair.
He slapped my hand away and crossed his arms. "Fine, you can sit with us, I'll just sit in the middle."
"No, I want to sit in between you two hmm," he answered putting his hand on my back. "Why?" "Because yesterday when we were watching TV he knocked my out again and dragged me to bed," he explained.
"Why would he do that?" I asked. "Because Danna and Seri told me go to bed at like two in the morning and I ignored them so Itachi came in and knocked me out, but I know it really irks him when I separate you from him hmm."
"Maybe later Deidara," I replied.
"I put a bomb on your back," he deadpanned. Panic over took me as I reached for the middle of my back.
"Get it off," I hissed dancing around the hall trying to rip it off. "Then let me sit in the middle yeah."
"You little brat," I hissed grabbing the clay. "Kats-" "Fine! Just get it off!" I yelled. Deidara grabbed it off my back with a smirk.
He started to run away to the car but not before turning around and saying, "It was a dud bomb hmm."
I glared him down as he ran away. I picked up my bag again and headed to the van slowly.
"Everything okay June?" Itachi asked coming up behind me. "That little brat is going to be sitting in between us," I sighed resting my head on his chest.
He wrapped his arms around my and rocked me back in forth in small movements. He moved his mouth by my ear, I could feel his hot breath tickle my skin.
"He's just trying to get under my skin from yesterday," he whispered in my ear. "I know," I replied cuddling into him.
Itachi just chuckled deeply and tightened his grip around me. I put my ear on his chest and listened to his steady heart beat.
"Did you grab your medication?" I asked. "Serenity has all of it with her medication," he answered pulling away, turning me around so I faced him.
He kissed my forehead gently with a ghost of a smile. "I love you," I whispered. "I love y-"
"Hey guys! Looks like we're in the second road!" Deidara yelled putting his arms around us. "Deidara, go by Serenity," Itachi commanded pushing the blond away.
"What? Seri is hanging out with Hidan and Kisame so I thought I'd hang out with you too hmm," he laughed. Itachi grabbed Deidara's forehead and stretched his arm out so Deidara was an arms length from Itachi.
Deidara reached his arms out to grab Itachi put failed. "Go by Sasori then," Itachi commanded glaring at the boy. "Danna is busy too yeah."
"Then go by leader." "But he's boring!" "Go by Ashton." "She's talking to Konan and they both glared at me when I approached them hmm." "Go by Zetsu." "But Tobi is with him!"
I sighed and rolled my eyes before I glared at Deidara. "I will do it," I threatened.
"Do what?"
"Oh, you'll find out brat," I laughed.
"Tobi! Senpai wants you!" I shouted cupping my hands around my mouth. "No! Don't yeah!" Deidara yelled covering my mouth.
I slapped his hand away as I saw Tobi sprint into the room only to crash into Deidara. "Aww! Senpai wants Tobi!" Madara gushed hugging the boy.
"No, I don't want you! Tobi is a bad boy hmm! Go away!" Deidara yelled hitting him as Madara hugged him.
"Is senpai just being shy?" Madara asked annoyingly. "No!" Deidara yelled.
"Hey Tobi, we don't you keep him company. Deidara is just being shy, he really loves Tobi you know," I commented.
"Aww! Tobi loves Senpai too!"
I smirked at Deidara's misery and grabbed Itachi's hand.
I dragged him outside to the car so we could finally be alone.
"Now where were we?" I asked rolling my eyes. "I know exactly where," Itachi whispered lightly grabbing my chin. "I love y-"
"Everyone get in the van! We're leaving!" Ashton yelled. "Ugh," I groaned rolled my eyes. "We'll continue later," he said with a sigh, grabbing my hand to walk to the van.
I walked with him to the van to see we were the only ones not in the van, meaning Deidara was already in the middle of the van.
I glared at him and got in the van while Itachi got in the other side.
"Does everyone have everything?" Ashton asked. "Yes!" everyone answered.
"You don't have to worry," I replied. "Okay, but are guys sure that you don't need anything because the second I start driving I'm not stopping."
"Everyone used the bathroom?" "Yes!" "Are you sure?"
No one answered.
"Can we leave now?" I asked. "We can only leave if you get out of the car," Sasori commented.
"Why would that be?" I snapped.
"Because, you reek of idiocy."
"You really want to go now puppet boy?" I asked turning around. "Don't start," Pein commanded.
"I'll do whatever I please carrot top," I snapped.
"Some one seems moody," Ashton muttered. "I not moody," I snapped crossing my arms. "I would disagree," Deidara commented.
"Don't get involved blonde," I snapped. "Do you have a thing against blonds?" he asked. "Only dumb ones," I muttered.
"Stop hating on yourself then hmm," Deidara scolded.
"For once the brat said something intelligent," Sasori laughed.
"Stupid brat!" I yelled glaring at him. The little devil grabbed a fist full of my hair and yanked it.
"Cheap move," I growled pulling his bang. "Serenity!" Deidara yelled as I pulled his hair. "Don't use that move," I hissed covering his mouth.
I felt drool cover my hand and his tongue lick my hand.
"Gross, Ashton!" I yelled. "Leave Deidara alone!" Serenity scolded from the back of the van. "Leave June alone!" Ashton scolded.
The two cousins glared at each other.
"Stop!" Pein yelled. "I don't want to hear another word for 20 minutes."
"Another word," Ashton deadpanned. Pein glared at her but didn't say anything.
The car ride was quiet for the first half hour and bumpy. Very bumpy, to the point where Sasori started to feel nauseous.
Sasori put his hand to his mouth and put his head up.
"Can we pull over?" Sasori asked holding his stomach. "Why?" Serenity asked looking at him with concerned eyes.
"I have that feeling again." "Specify the feeling," I told him. "After the roller coaster," he answered clutching his stomach again.
"Ashton pull over the van!" I yelled grabbing to the front seat. Ashton pulled over to the side of the road while Sasori leapt out of the van faster than I could blink. Serenity followed to help.
I chuckled as he bent over and threw up on the side of the road as Serenity patted his back. I stuck my head out of the van and laughed louder.
"It's your human body right?" I teased seizing my chance to tease him. "Not now J-" he leaned over again and emptied his stomach.
"Throw up again if you're a dork!" I yelled watching him hold it in. He glared at me as his cheeks puffed out, leaned over again to throw up.
"Is Danna okay?" Deidara asked leaning over. "Yeah, he's fine."
After a straight 11 minutes and 4 seconds Sasori and Serenity finally climbed into the van.
"Took you long enough," I teased looking at the red head. "Don't," he muttered resting his head on the window.
"You need a breath mint, I can smell your breath from here," I replied digging in my purse for one. I handed it to him, thankfully puppet boy took it and popped it in his mouth.
Meanwhile Ashton was hanging on to Konan in fear. "Is he done?" she asked clutching Konan's arm.
"Sasori is done, it's okay Ashton," Konan comforted patting her head. Ashton nodded her head and shakily started the car again.
"K-Konan, can you drive? I need a moment to calm down," Ashton murmured unbuckling herself. Konan and Ashton switched seats silently, Konan grabbed the steering wheel with a smile.
She drove perfectly to say the least. "Konan, where did you-" "After watching you drive so often I just learned by watching," she replied.
"Can you turn the music on?" Serenity asked from the back of the van. Konan turned the dial expertly and continued driving.
"Thanks," I heard Ashton whisper." Stupid vomit fear," she muttered.
"Where do I turn?" Konan asked. "Switch over to the next lane, turn on 30th street, then ride the freeway till I say."
Konan nodded her head and kept driving in silence. An hour passed and my legs were starting to lose feeling.
"When are we going to get there?" Hidan whined to me. The silver haired chibi climbed over the seat and onto my lap.
I laid my hand out for him with a sigh, he stepped onto it as I raised him to eye level. "We should be there in 30 minutes," I answered.
He hummed to himself before sitting down on my hand then crossing his arms.
I chuckled quietly as he stared at me. "You're not going to be hearing this again but you really are cute," I said flatly as I poked his cheek.
He grabbed my finger with his small hand and put it down slowly. "I'm not cute, I'm handsome," he corrected.
"No, with those eyes of yours. They're more feminine unlike your facial structure, similar to Itachi, Sasori and Deidara," I observed. Hidan looked down as to hide is eyes.
"Well at least if I were a girl I wouldn't be flat," he countered. "Idiot," I growled glaring at him.
"Shorty," he mock growled back. I curled my hand around his body and held him in a fist. "You're in no position to be calling me that, I could squash you," I growled.
"You're so easily riled up!" Hidan laughed throwing his head back. "You take him," I demanded shoving Hidan into Deidara's hand.
"I don't want him hmm," Deidara complained shoving him into Itachi's hand. "Deidara, you take him," Itachi sighed gently dropping Hidan into Deidara's lap.
"But I dont-" "Deidara, please just take him. You were allowed to sit between June and I this morning so you should be able to take care of Hidan for a bit," Itachi interrupted.
"I can do whatever I please. I'm not some kid who is easily defeated hmm," Deidara announced puffing out his chest.
"Deidara, you are a child," I corrected rolling my eyes.
"Hey Deidara," Serenity chirped, "Can you look after your comrade, Hidan is in a vulnerable state at the moment and if we did get in a car crash he'd probably be the first to die. So can you protect him?"
"Well, I really don't-" "Oh, so you're saying Itachi is more capable of protecting a friend, I get it. It's okay if you're not strong enough," Serenity laughed looking away.
"No, I can!" Deidara yelled cupping his hands around Hidan subconsciously. "I'm still here you know!" Hidan yelled. "Sorry Hida," a Serenity laughed scratching the back of her head.
"Who has Kakuzu?" Itachi asked. "He's up here," Ashton said pointing to him.
"What happened over there?" Zetsu's lighter voice asked distracting me from Hidan. I looked out my window to see what he was talking about.
Car crash.
"It's a car crash." "I thought that rules were stricter here," his darker voice commented. "Oh no," Serenity gasped looking at the scene.
"People here break the rules just as much as yours. It looks like it was a hit and run," I explained. "That's terrible," Serenity gasped putting her hand to her mouth.
"Konan, just take a detour. Take a left here," Ashton directed. "Looks to be- messy," Zetsu's two sides commented.
"Oh Blanko, Negro. This one is really bad. The cars flipped over," Serenity said sadly. I looked at the beat up car with a impassive expression.
The burnt stuff animal on the side of the road made my stomach drop. The side of the car was dented to an unfixable point.
"Can you drive faster?" I asked not wanting to look at the sight no longer despite still looking.
Konan accelerated the van until the accident was out of site. I was some what relieved that the gruesome scene was dismissed but yet again, I almost felt like I need to know if everyone was okay.
"Turn right," Ashton directed breaking me out of my thoughts. "Are we almost there because it's getting a bit cramped in here," Kisame sighed stretching his legs.
"Don't worry big blue, we're practically there," Ashton laughed.
"Remember, I do not want any trouble. Follow their grandparents rules and do not reveal your shinobi abilities," Pein instructed.
"Yes Pein," everyone answered. One thing I've noticed is that they speaking all English, before they would say 'hai' to a direction, or that they use an honorific. Now they use all English, I wonder what would happen if we went to their world.
"And we're here!" Serenity cheered unbuckling her seat belt. "Thank goodness," Kisame sighed opening the door and stretching.
Everyone jumped out of the car and stretched ready to go in. Ashton and I eyed the door to grandma's cautiously making sure this was not indeed a reunion.
"Good, it's not a reunion, I really thought it-" the door whipped open to reveal a twenty year old women.
She had brown hair and brown eyes that could be mistaken for black. She was Serenity's height and had a average figure. I identified her to be my 'cousin' Jesse.
"Sassy Ashy, Seri Smoothe, Juney Bear!" Jesse called waving her hand. "It's a reunion!"
"Back in the van!" Ashton, Serenity, and I yelled. We pushed everyone back in without any struggle as fast as we could. Ashton jammed the key into the van and put it into reverse.
"You're acting like she's the Devil's spawn," Kisame joked.
"Don't," I snapped. "You're going to say something you'll regret and then summon 'her'," Ashton hissed trying to back up.
"Back up faster!" Serenity yelled looking behind us. "It's not like Satan is behind us hmm," Deidara sighed.
"NO!"
A red car pulled in behind us, not allowing us to back up and the basketball hoop from the side didn't allow us to leave either.
"We're trapped!" Serenity shrieked sinking into her seat. The car slammed shut from behind us, the sound of high heels hitting the concrete could be heard.
A finger tapped on Ashton's window, Ashton rolled it down with a defeated frown and glared at the woman before us.
She had black hair with brown eyes, looking to be around 5'11 while having an athletic body shape. Her face was long while she had plump red limps, her lip curled up as she lifted up her sunglasses.
"Hello Aunt Satan," Ashton snarled glaring at the woman named Jezebel.
"Devil spawn," Jezebel snarled back. "Where are the other two?" she asked. "Serenity is in the far back and June's in the second row."
"Aren't you going to say hi to your favorite auntie?" she asked with a nasty smile. "Hi Jezebel," I sighed. "Hi Auntie Sa- Jezebel," Serenity stuttered.
"Is Jesse here?" Jezebel asked. "I don't know, is she?" Ashton replied. "Hey, who's the hag?" Hidan shouted.
Deidara immediately covered his mouth with a worried look. "Who was that?" she snapped.
"Jezebel, please let us tend to our guests first," I sighed. "Fine, fine," she took a step back, "see you when you get in the house."
Jezebel walked away, high heels clacking against the concrete was only heard until on their door slammed shut.
"You summoned her," Ashton hissed glaring at Deidara.
So what you'd think? I have more comin' too. I have the next three chapters written so I should start updating daily.
