Chapter 7
Note: Weapons will be confiscated
~Kahlan's POV
Okay so it seems my wound is still bleeding. I'm glad I was able to redress the wound with more bandages. This time I added more that way it will be a while before I have to do it again.
As of now, all the people in the group are back with the exception of Flytrap, Tobi and the dead Hidan. Deidara is holding books, the redhead whose name I'm still confused about has the maps, Konan and the guy with the red eyes (I'm guessing he is Itachi) are holding my horde of weapons.
I know that isn't all of my weapons, I have more hidden around the house. Not that I plan on telling them where those weapons are at. I was going to make sure I was surviving any type of apocalypse that's why I have a bunch. A bunch of those weapons though are very expensive and are practically either a collectible (it's still a real weapon) like a few of the Highlander swords or it's an antique, meaning it's old as hell and from a different era.
Yeah, a bunch of my money gets spend on old and new weapon stuff. That's why most of the time I'm broke. Right now I do have like two hundred dollars to my name, and that money is going to be used for bills. So yeah I'm broke and I'm going to have to do some more literature or art commissions until I can find someone willing to let me sign a recording contract.
Anyways, my eyes scan each of the people. I notice that Kisame is staring at them and I have to hold back a smile. Laura's words seem to have gotten to him. He's probably going to be her target to annoy for a while. I look back at Leader and he doesn't seem to be so happy.
"Who do you work for," Leader asks with a glare. Yeah I was right, he's not happy but he doesn't seem to have been happy from the start.
"As of right now I don't work for anyone," I reply leaning back into the couch.
It's the truth, like I said before, all money I make is from the commissions I do because I have been unable to find anyone willing to sign me a recording contract. The music industry is a tough business, but I don't plan on stopping until I reach my goal. Yeah that's right; I want to be a singer. I can play the guitar and piano; and I write my own songs. I'm in the process of learning to play the cello.
"Then explain why you have so many weapons," he demands.
"Collecting weapons is one of my hobbies," I reply. "Plus I wanted to be ready in case some sort of apocalypse broke out." I want to tell them not to break any since they're very expensive and some of them are irreplaceable, but they would probably use them against me and break them.
"Well you have no use for them now," he replies and turns to Konan and Itachi. "Do whatever it takes to get rid of those weapons."
"Wait," I say not wanting my weapons to be lost. Looks like I'll have to tell them about how expensive they were. "Let's talk about this like civil people. Those weapons aren't cheap. In fact some of those weapons aren't even made anymore and come from a different era, so they cost even more. So, I think we should come up with a deal. You don't ruin any of those weapons and we won't use them against you."
"Something like this," Kakuzu ask holding up the triple morning star. It's a mace and was used in the medieval times. "How much did it cost?"
"I got it from a guy selling it at a yard sale," I reply thinking back on when I got it. "Idiot was selling it for 100 dollars. That weapon can go in the double digit thousands maybe even higher. A museum would love to get their hands on it along with a few of the others I got."
I watch as Kakuzu whispers something into Leader's ear. Leader doesn't look happy but he looks thoughtful. Kakuzu then place the weapon back in Konan's arms. Leader looks at me and I squash down any hope.
"The weapons won't get destroyed," Leader says. "However, the weapons for now no longer belong to you. We will keep them, that way we know neither of you try to use them against us."
"Fine," I grumble folding my arms. At least it was better than having to see my money go down the drain for nothing. No worries, I'll just team up with Laura to get my weapons back.
"Tobi is back," yells the masked man…or boy as he runs into the room. "Tobi saw a lot of weird things."
"Tobi tell us in a bit," Leader replies.
He opens this scroll that has a lot of design looking things on it. Nodding at Konan, she places down the piles of weapons on the scroll. I raise my brow confused until I see the Leader move his hands and then poof my weapons are gone. I watch in horror as Itachi then place the weapons on the scroll and once again the same thing happens to them.
"Where did all those weapons come from," Tobi asks.
"Where did they go," I ask.
"They're in the scroll," Leader replies. "With those amount of weapons there's probably more hidden around the house. You will give us the locations of the other weapons." He then looks at Tobi. "As far as I'm concerned the weapons belong to both girls."
"Whatever," I grumble, getting slightly irritated.
"Nope," Laura replies. "All those weapons belong to Kahlan."
"We are back," Flytrap says as he comes up from out of the floor. "We're ready to give a report of our findings."
"You may begin in a moment," Leader says. "Kakuzu go bring Hidan back."
Kakuzu grumbles then walks out. Again I raise my brow. Why does he want a dead body in the room? Is that his way of telling us we're going to end up dead just like Hidan? No way am I going to allow Laura to die.
Laura yawns and leans her head on my shoulder. No doubt she's bored and tired. I don't blame her I'm getting pretty tired myself. I just want to go to sleep and wake up to find this has all been some messed up dream. However, I can't let any of my tiredness get in the way. Besides, even if I did get to bed, somehow I just know I'll find out that all of this is real in the morning.
"Try to stay awake a little longer," I whisper to her. "I'll make you some ramen and rice balls as soon as they allow us to live and cook."
She slightly chuckles and replies, "I'm staying awake."
A moment later Kakuzu walks into the room. Right behind him is Hidan with his head attached back to his body and walking. How is that even possible? I saw him get decapitated which means he should be dead.
"When this is fucking over I want that fucking stake in the freezer to be fucking cook. I'm fucking starving."
"Hidan shut up or you'll end up back in the freezer," Leader says glaring.
"Fucking whatever," Hidan replies.
"You may tell me what you found now," Leader commands Tobi and Flytrap. Okay Flytrap's real name has to be Zetsu.
"Okay so Tobi saw these things that had wheels. People got inside of them and then it made a lot of noise like a monster scaring Tobi but the people didn't seem to be scared of them and it made the people move at a really fast speed. The only people Tobi saw walking were the ones with dogs on a rope."
"We saw some of that," Zetsu reply. "A lot of the people look good to eat." Oh great there is a cannibal in the house. Okay I'll just tell him Laura and I don't taste good and hopefully that will keep him from eating us.
"What else did you find," Leader asks.
"The Village Inn is a hotel," Zetsu replies. Why does he speak with two different voices? Maybe he has a split personality. "There were a lot of people inside."
"Tobi saw shops and cafes and this place called…Tobi don't know but it had a big yellow arch. Or was it two big yellow arches? Tobi knows that it sells food and it smelled good."
"The people here seem weak," Zetsu adds. "There appears to be no ninjas only civilians."
"Did any of them have weapons," Leader asks.
"Nope," Tobi replies. "The people were really friendly. One person even gave Tobi candy."
"Stranger danger," Laura suddenly says then laughs at the confused look on Kisame's and Deidara's face and Tobi might have been confused because he tilt his head to the side. Leader looks at the two of us narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Do you know the place Tobi was talking about with the yellow arches," Leader asks.
"It's a fast food restaurant," I reply holding back a yawn. "I hardly ever go there."
"It's called McDonald's," Laura says with a grin.
"That is a fucked up name," Hidan replies.
"What about the things with the wheels on them," Leader asks ignoring Hidan's comment.
"They're automobiles," I reply. "They take you from point A to point B."
"I don't like them," Laura says. She has a fear of pretty much every mode of transportation known to man. I'm not sure how she was able to get on a plane to get from England to America.
"I don't like them either," I reply.
Truthfully, I'm terrified of cars. I don't like going in one to drive or to be driven. As for other modes of transportation I have no fear of them. Though if I need to go anywhere I use a bike (as in a regular bicycle or motorbike) or I just walk.
"Deidara start opening those books and Sasori pins those maps on the wall so we can all look at them," Leader commands. Deidara and Sasori (I'm still wondering which name is his real name) start doing as Leader commands.
"Can we get some food," I ask feeling my stomach rumble.
"No," Leader says then glares.
"I'm going to fucking get food to fucking tease you," Hidan says with a grin then leaves heading for the kitchen. What a bunch of assholes. This can't get any worse.
