Chapter 64

Note: Begging with puppy eyes works on Akatsuki members.

~Laura's POV

I soo wanna be a samurai lady! Samurai rock and so do lady samurais. Lady ninjas rock as well but I only like a select few though like Konan, Anko and Temari, I don't like any others I think.

I watch the Akatsuki members take a weapon or two before walking away in different directions to practice them.

Hidan seems to have taken a liking to the double ended scythe which he picked up before and Tobi seems to really like the chain mace and steel nun-chucks which I know is really going to hurt someone, meaning himself.

Deidara seems to have taken a liking to the automatic crossbow and Sasori seems to like the normal crossbow but seems to be putting some purple liquid on it that I can only think 'POISON' as he drips the arrows into poison which is in some bottles.

Itachi seems to be practicing with some chain whip which cut some of Hidan's skin off and I think some modern throwing knifes.

Kisame seems to be playing around with the buster sword from Final Fantasy, Cloud's sword. He seems to be using both his normal sword and that sword and seems to be trying them both out. Kisame simply makes a water clone of himself, hands his clone the buster sword before starting a spar with himself, looks and sounds like fun.

I glance to Konan and see her using some butterfly knives; she seems to combining her techniques of paper with the butterfly knives, she seems to be making a pretty good technique and attack with them.

Pein seems to be using some sort of tonfa which really do damage if someone gets hit with them, I should know, I have seen them being used in an anime and in my karate class once.

Kakuzu seems to be using some flexible sword… I think it's called an Urumi sword or something along those lines. It seems he can use it very well, almost like it is part of him or something.

I watch the members carefully before jumping to my feet from my crouch and walking over to the weapons, scanning them over as I search for a weapon that I reeeeaaaally wanna use.

I can't see the samurai sword anywhere so I slowly walk round the area of weapons till I finally spot my weapon, stuck under some Sais which seems to be a black and gothic style from the look of it.

"Hey Kahlan~ I found my white sword with its orange/red handle," I slowly push the Sais out of the way by their handles then slowly pick up my favorite sword and slowly and carefully place it in my belt so I can just grab it and sling it out when I need it.

"That's good," she says while slowly standing up, Kahlan walks over to me while walking round the pile of weapons and picks up the two Sais, she balances them for a moment before nodding her head.

"Those look coolio," I say with a small grin before pretending to balance the sword in my belt before taking it out of its cover thingy… I think it's called a sheath or scabbard or something along those lines.

"Yeah, they are light as well," she says before swinging them around for a second before nodding her head again for a second, "I'll go train with these two, will you be okay with the sword," Kahlan asks with a small concerned look as I nod my head and swing it forwards, grinning as I do that, good thing this sword is thin, light and a good size for me.

"Yeah," I say before jumping back a few spaces from her before cutting the air with my sword, grinning as I do that and switch the sword to my other hand to make the sword go all the way round me. "Its sooooo cool!" I tell loudly while trying out some tricks, trying to be a samurai as I try some bits out.

"Be careful!" I hear Konan yell to me as I accidently throw my sword into the air, I watch it with interest as it comes falling down, I look down to where it should land and see Hidan fighting Kakuzu with his chainsaw.

"Hidan watch out!" I yell loudly while waving my arms about, trying to get his attention as he turns to me with a pissed off look on his face.

"Fuck off bitch!" he yells loudly and just as he finishes his sentence; the sword comes flying down and cuts off his arm, blood spraying everywhere and I cover my eyes and feel the red liquid color my hands, arms and body.

"Finally," Kakuzu sighs with relief as I slowly uncover my face from my hands and stare down at my hands, covered in red as I hear Hidan swearing loudly from where I am standing which is about 30 feet away.

I look up to Kakuzu and Hidan to see Hidan holding his arm with his still attached hand and see him glaring at me, swearing loudly.

"What the fuck was that fucking for you stupid fucking bitch!? I'll fucking kill you!" he yells loudly before throwing his arm at Kakuzu who strangely enough, catches it, as he grabs his three bladed scythe with his attached arm before running at me, dragging his scythe into the ground as my eyes widen at what he says.

I scream as he runs, a look of bloodlust in his eyes and cover my eyes as he holds his scythe up to swing it, I peek through my arms to see a black shirt cover my vision, meaning someone runs out in front of me.

"Almighty push!" I hear Pein yell loudly as I slowly and carefully remove my arms from my sight before moving to the left of Pein to see Hidan go flying into the air and he lets go of his scythe and said scythe goes flying down into the ground, standing up in the ground where it lands.

"What the fuck was that fucking for you fucking asshole?!" Hidan yells as he lands, painfully on the ground before slowly getting up, holding his side with his attached arm before letting go, glaring at Pein, completely forgetting that I just sliced his arm off without meaning it.

"Do not attack her; continue with your practice," Pein says sternly as I slowly step out from behind him, unsure if I should get my samurai sword from over there or not.

"How the fuck am I meant to fucking do that with one fucking arm!?" Hidan swears super loudly before walking over to Kakuzu and snatching his arm back from him.

"Kakuzu," Pein simply says while looking at said man. Kakuzu grunts which I can hear from here before snatching Hidan's arm away from him before putting it to where it… was sliced off before sewing it back on, I can hear Hidan's complaining from here.

"Fuck that hurts!" Hidan seems to complain a lot and I look up to Pein as he turns round to me, looking me up and down as he faces me.

"Ignore the blood for now… wait one moment," he says to me before walking over to the immortal duo and quickly pulls the blood stained sword out of the ground and slices the air, making the blood stain the ground more than before.

I watch him walk over to me and hold the sword out, probably for me to take it.

I grin happily before taking it and watch him walk out to the middle of the garden before yelling loudly, "Kisame, Hidan, you two will be teaching Kahlan and Laura how to use their weapons, Kisame will be teaching Kahlan and Hidan will be teaching Laura!" he yells loudly as everyone exchanges looks about that.

"You did see what just happened, right Leader?" Kisame asks with an unsure look before glancing from me to Hidan, does Pein WANT me to die or something?

"I did," he says while looking to Kisame with a blank, leader-like look, "I don't want any future fights so Hidan and Laura will sort out their problems in training," he says simply before walking away from everyone and walks over to Konan and then starts to spar with her, a smile on Konan's face meaning I am not getting out of this one… damn it… I don't wanna die at the age of seventeen… meanies… Pein is a Meanie.

"I am going to die," I say with a hum while rolling my eyes a little before looking to my sword, this may come in handy.

"No you're not," Kahlan says while pulling me into a protective hug, glaring at Hidan and Pein while doing it. "Leader, you can't let him train with her," Kahlan says while pulling me closer, feeling my face pale a little but ignore the feeling.

"She will, Itachi, Sasori, you two watch these two groups train in case of any incidents," Pein orders out to the members who walk round to the nearest tree to each of our groups of two.

I glance to each of the two members before slowly backing away from Hidan as he starts walking over with his reattached arm and a smirk on his face… meanies! All of you apart from Konan and Kahlan!

"Aha… Hidan… please… peace…" I beg softly with a small smile on my face… please sword protect… please… dodging skills come back to life!

"Well then… let's get fucking training!" he yells loudly while taking a swing at me and I quickly jump backwards, holding my sword in front of me to cover while cowering a little as Sasori seems to be watching our 'training' or Hidan's 'kill' as he would probably call it.

He continues to swing his scythe at me and I continue to jump backwards, sideways and sometimes forwards to dodge that scythe of his, if he gets one drop of my blood I am dead… food… meat… stuff.

"I didn't mean it! I really didn't!" I yell loudly just dodging his scythe and part of my trouser leg comes flying off and lands onto the floor, hell! "KYA!" I yell loudly while dodging again, this is NOT a fun game and Hidan seems to think it is seeing as he is doing some… scary… crazy… laugh… help!
