Thanks FailingErin :3
Chibi in a box Chapter 27
What to do at the fair part 2
June's POV
"So where are we going first?" I asked looking around. "What do you want to do June?" Itachi asked.
"Math contest," I answer slipping my hand into his. He gladly accepted the gesture and returned it.
"We should head there then," he suggested. "Maybe. Sasori, Deidara, Serenity, Kisame, what do you guys want to do?" I asked.
"I'd like to go watch some of the dancers but we can go to the math contest first," Serenity answered.
"Et his ah e," Hidan muttered into the duck tape, trying to peal it off.
"Sorry, I can't here you, you need to speak up Hidan," I laughed.
"Ill e," he grumbled. (Kill me). "I think I enjoy this better than," Deidara laughed.
"I know I do," Kisame chuckled. Hidan started to yell incoherent words and violently gesture at the two.
"Did you just admit you're an idiot hmm?" Deidara asked. Hidan promptly face palmed.
"Fine Hidan, I'll let you go," I sighed, though still smiling.
"Itachi. Can I have a kunai?" I asked holding out my hand. He slipped his hand into his sweatshirt sleeve and slid one out.
"What! He's allowed to have a kunai on him but not us?" Deidara asked, demanding a answer.
"Actually I have one," Sasori stated. "As does Zetsu, Kakuzu, Kisame, Pein and Konan."
Itachi handed me his kunai, I griped it delicately and walked up Hidan.
"Now stay still so I can get this off you," I demanded grabbing his chin.
Hidan pulled away and slapped my hand. "I will cut you if you don't hold still," I threatened.
"Hold still for June Hidan," Sasori sighed. I grabbed his chin harshly this time and pulled it down so he was closer to my face.
I slipped the kunai under the tape and pulled up. "There, you can't rip the rest of the tape," I sighed.
Hidan did just that, quite violently. "Geez woman! You actually did cut me!" he yelled rubbing his bleeding cheek.
"Oops," I sang handing the kunai back to Itachi.
"You okay Hidan?" Serenity asked touching his cheek. "Yeah," he grunted response putting her hand down.
"I can't believe you couldn't rip that thing off yourself," Deidara laughed.
"Have shorty put that thing on you," Hidan snapped.
"Oh be quiet," I snapped playfully punching him on the shoulder.
Hidan punched me back but not as nice. "Ow," I whined rubbing my arm.
"Hidan, leave June alone," Itachi sighed. "Whatever," Hidan sighed.
"The math completion is right here, are you going to join? According to the sign it says they have a competition now and at 5:00," Serenity pointed out.
"We can do this now, anyone want to join me?" I asked heading to the line of people, waiting to enter.
"I may as well," Sasori sighed following me. "This is only math. No reading," I clarified.
"I wouldn't enter a reading competition anyways. I can only read Japanese," he muttered.
"You're mind can learn another language," I pointed out.
"Look June, I may be thirty-" "Wait! Stop there," I snapped putting my finger to my chin.
"When did you become a puppet?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows together.
"I was around my late teens. I can't quite remember my exact age but I was sixteen I believe," he answered.
"Does that mean you're physically sixteen then? If you turned human now doesn't that mean you still have the physical body of a teenager?" I inquired.
Sasori stopped for a moment to think. "Sasori my man, does that mean you're only two years older than me?" Deidara asked.
"No brat, I'm mentally in my thirties," Sasori snapped. "I don't know, at sixteen your hormones are still raging," Serenity commented.
"I'm the second oldest out of all of you, so shut up," Sasori snapped.
"There goes puppet boy's attitude," Hidan chuckled. Sasori bawled his fists and turned slightly red.
"Hidan, when we get back to the house I will personally make your life a living-"
"Ha! The miser wouldn't let you touch me!" Hidan laughed. "Kakuzu says he the only one allowed to mess with me!"
"I'm sure he won't mind me dealing punishment for once," Sasori growled.
"Come guys, cool it," Serenity pleased standing in between the too.
"Just go into your competition already," Kisame urged.
I rolled my eyes. "Okay, come on Sasori." I grabbed his wrist and dragged him the the 'stage.'
All of the large contests were held on top of a small wooden platform with a chairs and tables, on top each one was a buzzer, a pencil, and paper.
I took my seat and Sasori next to me, I rest my middle and pointer finger on the buzzer.
I usually didn't need a piece of paper to do math, mental math was a great ability of mine.
When I was younger my dream was to become a collage professor for math. After I skipped a grade I was ready to finish high school at fifteen but then my motivation slowly went.
School became boring and easy for me, I thought everything was like that. I'm usually a very laid back person as Ashton would say but having 'easy' classes made stress worse for me.
I always thought because it was so easy I was being tricked or cheated until I graduated.
"Hello everyone!" a loud voice greeted breaking my train of thought. A man with a red t-shirt and blue jeans walked in front of myself and my fellow cohorts.
"My name's Dakota, I will be running this contest. I have a a bunch of note cards here with their answers," he announced rather idiotically.
I sighed loudly, he was so loud. "Now for the rules. No cheating, no phones or calculators or outside resources. The problems will get harder each question. I will say the problem, ring the buzzer and answer. Every wrong answer you are out. If nobody answers after a two minutes period you may be called in at random. Once we get down to the last ten you have two minutes to complete every problem. The last three will battle in a round of flash problems, the last man, or woman, out wins!"
"Wonderful, that was a wonderful description of the rules," I muttered. "I know," Sasori whispered back.
"I will now give of the first problem." The announcer flipped through the cards and smiled.
"186 to the third power divided by nine," he announced. Pencils clicking against paper were heard, they furiously worked out the problem. For a moment I thought about giving everyone a chance but...
I applied pressure to my fingers and the buzzer went off. The loud, annoying ring startled Dakota? I think that was his name.
"714,984," I answered. "Umm," he hummed looking at his notecard. I felt those stupid eyes stare at me.
I know amazing.
"Umm yeah, that correct. Next problem," he stuttered flipping the notecards.
"23.(45+78) dived by 56," he announced.
I waited for a bit, someone was bound to get this wrong. There was six decimal placements. Someone had to get it wrong.
Three minutes and thirty-six seconds later someone decided to press the button.
"50.516852." Wrong. It was supposed to be 50.517857.
"I'm sorry that is wrong," he said sadly. I heard footsteps trudge off the stage.
Sasori pressed the buzzer. "It's 50.517857," he answered.
"Correct!" Dakota shouted with a grin. "Good one," I muttered.
"I know," he replied to me without sparing me a glance.
I gazed out of the corner of my eye to see Ashton and Kakuzu arrive. The miser was carrying a large jar of coins in his arms. Probably one some contest.
People were quickly eliminated, I was too lazy to answer every question and Sasori was the same. Anytime I was called on at random I answered correctly. We let the numbers drop till ten of us were left. Then we let more numbers drop.
Five minutes and nine seconds later we were left.
The announcer forced a smile to look at us. "You two like numbers a lot, I guess," he chuckled forcibly.
"Yeah," I sighed. "They're needed in my field of work," Sasori answered resting his head in hands.
"So I have one last problem for you, it's not really a problem though. Please recite as many numbers of pi as possible."
"You're screwed," I laughed looking at Sasori. "I know I am brat."
"When I was a senior I memorized 82 numbers of pi (A/N I think that's the top score at my school for memorized pi numbers)," I announced.
Sasori sighed loudly, "I forfeit."
"Oh," the announcer stuttered. "I guess you win," he laughed nervously.
"Of course dork, I always win these," I sighed grabbing the trophy from his hands and walking off stage.
"Our winner is..." he paused for a moment. "June Summers," I sighed.
"June Summers!"
I made my way all the way off the stage and back to my friends.
"Great job!" Serenity complimented hugging me. "Aww yeah June!" Ashton cheered slinging a arm around me.
"You did good," Sasori commented holding his hand out. I stared at him in confusion and raised a brow.
"Am I doing it wrong?" he asked. "Doing what wrong?" I asked.
"I'm holding my hand out to show sportsmen ship. Am I doing it wrong?" he asked. "I assumed this was what you did in your world."
"Oh no, you're doing it right," I chucked shaking his hand. "You did better than I expected," I replied.
"I know I did brat," he sighed holding my hand tighter. "You have a ego there, it might have to be popped," I growled gripping his hand.
"Just like that zit on your face," he muttered gripping my hand tighter.
Ouch, that stung.
"I'd slap you for that comment, but that be considered animal abuse," I snapped.
"Please don't start here," Ashton sighed shoving us apart. "Why are should I listen to you?" Sasori asked.
"Because you're has tall as a bratty middle schooler," Ashton snapped.
I snickered at the comment, that was true. "And your just as big as your ego," Sasori snapped back.
"Hold it right there Pinocchio!" Ashton comically held up her hands in defense and growled. "I am actually not that tall!"
"Says the oversized giant," I chuckled. "You're just jealous," Ashton pouted.
"I'm not that tall, right gramps?" she asked looking at Kakuzu.
"No," he grunted. "We'll, I'm not that short, right Itachi?"
The Uchiha looked at me, clearly not listening to the conversation.
"Of course June," he answered. He sent me a faint smirk before going back to listen to Serenity.
"Hey Sasori, June," Ashton called. "Why do people around your height get angry easily?"
"What does this have to do with our conversation?" Sasori asked, heavily annoyed. "I don't know Ashton," I sighed.
"Because they have "short" tempers." She bit her lips and suppressed a grin. Her body shook from laughing silently and her eyes curved.
"Go drink bleach you cretin!" I screamed jumping at her. Sasori joined me in trying to murder said brute.
"Ow! I'm being attacked by midgets!" Ashton screamed while fake crying.
"I will poison your food when you aren't looking," Sasori growled.
He aimed a punch but was stopped by Kisame. The swordsman quickly lifted her up to avoid the fatal punch.
"Kisame," I snapped. "Put her down to I can shove a gallon of bleach down her throat!"
"Calm down June," Itachi hushed grabbing my shoulders.
"Hey Itachi," Ashton called with an even bigger grin. "Hn?" he grunted in response.
"What room can't you find an Uchiha in?" Ashton asked. "Ashton, if this is one of your jokes please don't," he sighed.
Ashton, still being held by Kisame, grinned at him intently, waiting for a response.
"Where?" Itachi sighed giving in. "The "living room,"" she laughed.
Kisame dropped Ashton and frowned. Itachi held the bridge of his nose then sighed deeply.
"You have five seconds to find a safe haven before I come after you. One, two."
Ashton immediately sprung from her spot and sprinted away, holding her hat to her head.
"Five." Itachi looked away to see Ashton dashing through the crowd to a certain blue haired woman.
"I sadly am incapable of retrieving her now," he sighed knowing that fighting the paper angel was useless.
"The knife throwing contest will be starting, want to go to that?" I asked.
"That would be nice," he answered. "Everyone else coming?" I asked.
"I'm up for throwing knives!" Hidan yelled waving his hand.
"I can't throw a knife," Serenity said blushing. "You're not the only one," I comforted.
"I thought you could?" Sasori asked. "Why would you think that?"
"You can work a sword," he stated. "Oh that, it's mostly there to make me feel strong. I use it to get pent up anxiety out. It was Evergreen's. She fenced a lot when... when she was still here. So I use it for a stress reliever and a confidence boost," I explained.
"I'll show you both, that way you can stick any guy in the forehead who bothers you hmm," Deidara comforted. Well, tried.
"That's... comforting," she trailed trying to be polite.
"I'm glad," he replied marching away to the contest.
"Everyone else is coming?" Serenity asked. Everyone nodded there heads and started walking with us.
"How do you throw a kunai?" I asked curiously. "When we arrive I'll teach you," Itachi replied with a gentle smile.
Serenity's POV
I watched as the boys threw a borrowed kunai from Itachi. So far they were the only knew left in the competition.
Sasori and Kakuzu also chatted quietly. Probably silently criticizing their partners.
"Show off!" Deidara yelled, glaring Itachi down. Itachi proceeded to hit the target for his thirtieth time, but this time using another kunai to redirect the first one, which was off target.
I knew for a fact that Itachi specializes with things involving a kunai. He's insane with them.
"It's okay Deidara," I comforted. The blond growled at me and threw a kunai in anger.
Unfortunately it missed the target.
"Out!" the announcer yelled to Deidara. "I'll show you who's out hmm!" Deidara roared digging in his pockets for what seemed like...clay.
"No," I said sternly. Said blond did not listen to me and continued to take off his gloves.
"Deidara, I said no," I snapped. "I don't care hmm," he muttered.
I tried swiping the clay out of his hand but he moved over ever so slightly to avoid me.
"Deidara, why don't you put the clay down?" Itachi suggested.
"Like he's going to listen to you," June deadpanned. "I got this," she sighed.
"Deidara," she soothed softly touching his hair. What is she doing? Since when is June"nice?"
"What?" Deidara snapped, almost finishing his creation. "No," she snapped harshly grabbing onto his hair bang.
June tugged it down then pulled it to herself. "Because this hurts so much," Deidara deadpanned.
"It usually works," June chuckled. "The blonde's pain tolerance is pretty high!" Hidan yelled, still not sparing us a glance.
"He just likes to play around to please people," Kisame chuckled.
"Let's make a deal Deidara. There's a firework contest today, if you can hold out till then I'll let you enter and I'll even buy you more clay afterwords."
"Honestly even if I did do this you would probably buy me clay otherwise," he shrugged revealing his masterpiece.
It was a small, white, clay bird. Nicely designed too.
"Can I see?" I asked. "Sure yeah," he answered handing it to me.
"Serenity, don't touch it," Itachi commanded. "Why?" I asked. As long as I had the bird he couldn't blow it up at the announcer.
"Give it here, it could hurt you," Itachi reasoned. The second Itachi took it from my hands Deidara put his hand up and cried one word.
"Katsu!"
The bird exploded in Itachi's face, reducing the blond into a laughing fit.
Itachi seemed frozen in shock, still in the position he was holding it.
"You are in more trouble than Ashton," Itachi growled. "Fight me Uchiha!" Deidara yelled getting up into his face.
Itachi grabbed the boy's face rather harshly and swung to the left. Deidara's body jerked with his head, he fell to the ground as Itachi let go.
"Please don't fight here," I pleaded, offering Deidara a hand. He took it, gripping my hand harshly.
"Deidara, we're done here," Itachi said. "Whatever," he muttered.
"You two are such dorks," June chuckled. She walked up to Deidara and ruffled his blond locks.
"Don't hmm," he hissed. "Someone is cranky," she teased.
"June! Who do you think is going to win?" I asked, changing the topic.
She looked between Itachi, Kisame, and Hidan. The last three.
"Itachi, but if not Hidan," she sighed closing her eyes. "Hidan?" I inquired.
"Yeah, the zealot will probably cheat," she predicted. "Of course he'd cheat," I giggled watching him throw another kunai.
"How have you and Hidan been getting along?" June asked. "I don't know, he's been so rude lately and mean," I sighed.
"He's a Jashinist, I wouldn't expect any less," June replied. "He is, but I'm convinced that's he mostly makes up most of the rules. I don't think any kind of God can be that cruel."
June coughed and muttered, "Greek gods." "Well that's an exception!"
"Bale worshippers." "They were terrible too!" "Egyptian gods." "They were mean people!" I yelled.
"Don't you dare say another one," I warned. June smiled. "Roman gods."
"June!" I scolded. "Sorry Seri, it's inevitable. Religion throughout history is brutal," she shrugged.
"You're such an atheist," I muttered. "You're such a hippie," she shot back.
"I am not a hippie. I just believe that all cultures are right in some way and believe people should just hug or get along."
"You're a hippie," she confirmed. "Then what is Ashton?" I asked putting my hands on my hips.
"A sin. Ashton is a sin."
"Ima gonna pretend you didn't say that," I sighed. "Ashton is the embodiment of evil. I can't think of anything worse than her, besides kids," she added.
"And the winner is Itachi Uchiha!" the announcer yelled suddenly making June and I jump.
"Crap!" Hidan yelled. "I almost won Uchiha!" he snapped.
"Almost, but not quite," Itachi commented. Hidan sighed heavily and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Whatever, next time you'll loose... but at least I didn't loose to fish sticks!" Hidan cheered.
Kisame then proceeded to verbally assault Hidan.
"Call me fish sticks one more time and I will-" "Fish sticks," Hidan deadpanned with a smirk.
"Hidan!" Kisame yelled. "If I had Samehada at this moment I'd be dicing you up."
"Shh, Kisame there are children here," I hushed. The swordsman pushed me aside and crossed his arms.
"Take it back you zealot," Kisame demanded. "Fight me sushi," Hidan spat out.
I jumped onto Kisame before he could do any real damage. "Seri, get off me," he stumbled out.
"No!" I laughed grabbing around his neck. "Let go, I'm trying not to hurt you," he hissed.
I sighed loudly and got off of him, but stood in front of of him so Hidan wouldn't be harmed.
"No," I said stubbornly biting my inner cheek. Kisame sighed heavily. "I'll do it when we get back to your home then."
"I'm fine with that," June said crossing her arms. "Ugh, sorry. It's just so frustrating being cooped up with zero action," he sighed.
"Agreed," Hidan said nodding his head. "I think I get the most action hmm," Deidara claimed.
"Why would that be?" Kisame asked skeptically. "I get to set off the fireworks tonight," he stated.
"I thought you weren't supposed to bring your clay?" Kisame asked.
"Yes, Deidara. I thought I told, excuse me. Pein told you not to bring clay?"
"You're screwed," Hidan cackled. "True, very true."
The rest of the day passed quickly. Winning trophies about, fighting, complaining, criticizing.
It was finally time for fireworks. Deidara was sitting crossed leg on the ground softening his clay.
"It's almost ready," he muttered, seemingly kneading it. His hand mouth opened slowly and chewed on the clay.
"It's done hmm," Deidara drawled holding up a small bird.
He held it up proudly, before I could further examine it he walked over to Sasori Danna.
"It is one of your better works," Sasori said examining the bird. It looked similar to a hawk but was more cartoon like.
"It's a shame you don't keep them," Sasori sighed. "It's a shame you don't explode your puppets. Art is fleeting," Deidara said sternly.
"Art is eternal."
I smiled at the two. Recently I've been having my own ideas on art and I don't agree with them or disagree.
I'm starting to think it's a mix. Kind of like dancing, art is movement. The fact something moves for a short amount of time, then start a new dance. But forever.
Because if something were to dance forever that'd be boring. If something were to dance just one movement that be boring. But together you can make a beautiful composition with your body and then repeat the process, this time differently.
"Art is movement," I finally stated. The artists froze and stared at me.
"That's understandable but not right," Sasori stated. "Though it is much better than brat one's ideals."
"I disagree, mine is still superior to both of yours yeah!" Deidara snapped.
Before they could get in another word I quickly replied. "Why don't you set it off now?" I asked.
Deidara turned to me and smirked. "Ready?" he asked.
The bird was thrown into the air, quite high too. The bird then flew higher up into the sky before slowly producing a light.
"Katsu!" Deidara yelled. The bird exploded in a circular pattern. It was a brilliant orange, reminding me of a bright sunset.
I heard multiple 'ooo's and 'aww's as his art exploded. He then sent one after the other up quickly.
All exploding in a wave like pattern. "It's gorgeous Deidara," I complimented.
"I know hmm," he answered staring up at the lit sky in wonderment.
"It's not your worse brat," Sasori sighed. "Thanks."
"I can't believe I got all that on video!" June cheered holding her phone up.
"Deidara, I hate to say it but that was an exquisite art show," June complimented.
"I have one more," he declared. This one was like a owl. It was large too, it's wings hugging itself.
He threw it up into the air, the bottom lighting to propel it further j to the sky.
"Katsu," Deidara said staring up at it. There wasn't a explosion immediately but followed a few seconds later.
The light was so bright and large. It was a bright yellow with mixes of orange and red.
The sound of the explosion soon followed. I covered my ears as the sound rung through my ears.
"Woah! Deidara!" Ashton yelled. "Was that yours?"
"Yeah," he answered happily. "That was great!" Ashton cheered.
"You're so getting first place for this."
There you go! One more chapter here and back to the house! I also need some help with that. I'm not sure what to do next -_-'.
Fun Fact- Serenity can sing, but she's to shy to. Ashton can rap, will not hesitate to encounter you in a battle. June also has a photographic memory.
A- I have a sin which is Undertale. I also love Mad Father and classic Atari games.
Q- Religous or not?
Well that's all for now, till next time.
