I'm sick. :/ Headache, sore throat, coughing sick. Dammit...just think of all the f*cking homework I'm going to get tomorrow e_e. I will tell details on why i have'nt been writing in my author's note down below. So please read! DX I feel bad. Enjoy the chapter.
Madara's P.O.V
It was awkward, I admit.
One moment, Jean was screaming. The next was when our ears rang, the silence cut in half by the loud explosion of paper bombs. I sprung forward, catching her now burned body. She was limp and I could barely feel her lifeline, it was almost if she was already dead. But there was one small flicker of life in her unconscious, bloodied body.
"Itachi," I growled, low so that only he could hear me, "take Kisame and track Orochimaru." He nodded in response and grabbed his partners arm, yanking him into the burning room and out the wall. Yes, the wall. A cool gush of air blew across the room.
"Pein-sama! Jeen-chan is hurt!" I cried, standing up to my full height and rushing towards Pein, holding her bleeding arm tightly with my shirt to stop all bleeding.
"Take her downstairs. Stop the bleeding and bandage her up. Take Konan with you and make sure she is stable. Kakuzu, put out the flames." Ignoring most of his requests, I rushed into Jeen's room, laying her on the floor and calling for Konan.
"Stop the bleeding, I'm going to get Kakuzu. Don't do anything else." Konan nodded and plucked a blanket off the floor. I jogged back into the hallway to shake on Kakuzu's arm.
"Kakuzu-san~! Jeen-chan needs medical attention, NOW~~!" Even if I refused to admit it, I was indeed worried about her life. I knew that I could no longer deny the feelings I felt for her, the flickers of happiness and joy from being around her. Even at the thought of her made me smirk. The way she didn't fear or resent me like the others, her kind, but fierce smile that she gave me so very often; she made me feel.
Emotions. It sounded like such a foreign word to me and unnatural on my tongue. I had thought it to be a word in which I had long ago, wiped from my vocabulary. These emotions were those of which that I had felt for Izuna, but they were much more than that. Feelings of compassion, maybe? I have no clue. All I know is that they interfere.
"I'm coming Tobi. Let me finish this up." My eyebrows scrunched together as I pursed my lips.
No~, Jeen-chan needs you now!" I inwardly chuckled at his low growling.
"Tobi, you will learn to be patient around your elders. Jeen can wait a minute." Oh, dearest Kakuzu, you have no idea how untrue those words are.
I tapped my foot against the cold hardwood floor, causing the miser's right eye to twitch in irritation. When I started to whimper did he snap.
"Alright, I'm coming. Just stop with the noises!"
To my right, Hidan chuckled. "Great work, Tobi bitch. You just made your life harder."
I rolled my eyes. "Thank you, Hidan-san!"
Hidan growled at me, but turned to receive instructions from Pein. "What do I do, whore?"
Pein narrowed his eyes. "You will learn to address me properly, Hidan, or you will receive the consequences."
Being Tobi, I quickly yelled and turned on my heel to sprint after Kakuzu who had gone on ahead into Jeen's room.
"Kuzu-san, how's Jeen-chan doing!" Kakuzu shook his head in irritation, but I looked to Konan before he could glare at me.
"She has several cracked ribs and a broken wrist. She might have a concussion, but I can't tell yet…" I pouted when her voice trailed off.
3rd person P.O.V
Konan took a wet cloth and dragged it across the wound on her chest, pulling her shirt down slightly to reach its full length. Kakuzu started to stitch a nasty looking wound on her forearm, making sure to stitch it up till the last centimeter. Even in her unconscious state Jeen winced, clenching her fists in pain. Tobi covered his eyehole in fright, though Madara calmly watched through open fingers. Down the hall, Hadder had burst out of his room at the explosion and was giving the Akatsuki a handful.
"Where is Ren?" Sasori sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"She's not here, obviously." He growled.
Hadder took the puppet master by the shoulders and started to shake him. "Well, tell me her exact location, dumbass!"
At the physical contact he was receiving Sasori growled. "You have one second to let go of me before I kick you into a wall."
Deidara whistled. "You're in trouble now."
"One." Sasori snarled
In a flash, Pein had yanked Hadder out of the way of Sasori's fierce kick, hence breaking another wall. "I would advise you to not provoke my members. They are on edge right now."
Hadder frowned but nodded. "Just tell me. Where is my Ren?"
This time it was more of a command, but none the less Pein reacted to it all the same. "She is currently in the hands of Orochimaru."
Hadder hissed. "That pedophile! Son of a monkey bitching whore!" He stepped into the trashed room and immediately started to scream a long stream of swears. Sasori, still pissed, covered Deidara's ears not wanting to hear the same words out of his mouth.
Pein just stood there silently while Nagato chuckled at his obscenity. "Hidan, I do not wish to hear those out of your mouth either."
Hidan laughed and shook his head. "I don't even know what some of those words mean."
"Thank god for that." Kisame sighed from the stairs. He approached Pein with Itachi following closely behind him with his face as stoic as ever, a little fazed by Jeen's sudden condition.
"Any news?"
Itachi shook his head. "We tracked him into a certain area, but we lost him about halfway through. By the looks of it, Ren was unconscious, but otherwise unharmed." Deidara was intertwining his hands together in worry.
"Brat, are you perhaps worried for the girl?" His Danna questioned. Deidara stopped rubbing his hands and flung them to his sides.
"Why do you care, Danna? You seem to be just as worried, un." Deidara looked down at Sasori's own hands which were kneading themselves together.
"I'm simply trying to warm up my hands. The wood is chipping in this weather."
Hidan scoffed. "Sure they are, puppet shit." Sasori hit Hidan upside the head and proceeded into Jeen's room.
"I'm going to go check on the kid too." Kisame sighed before making his way into her room.
"Konan, hand me that bottle." Kakuzu nodded at her. She handed it to him while applying pressure to an arm wound. Blood was all over the towel, some spreading onto the carpet. Jeen was still unconscious, but cringing all the while. Her face was a ghostly white, her forehead warm while the rest of her body felt cold.
"How's the kid doing?" Konan looked up at Kisame before removing the rag and letting Kakuzu stitch her up.
"She isn't going to be moving on her own for a while. Someone is going to need to carry her when we search for Ren." Kisame cocked his head to the side.
"How do you know she will be able to come?" He asked.
"Do you really think she's going to sit around while her sister is held captive?" Kisame shook his head.
"Then there's your answer." Kakuzu chuckled before Tobi burst into the room.
"Is Jeen-chan ok?" He shouted, practically blowing Kisame's ear drums off.
"She's lost a lot of blood, but yes she will be fi-"
"YAY! JEEN-chan LIVES!" Kisame, Konan, and Kakuzu's head snapped towards Jeen's whose eyes were fluttering open, hazy.
"What the hell? Did I jump out a window or something?" Kisame laughed at her confusion.
"You ran into a trap kid." Her eyes widened.
"What? Wait..." Madara inwardly chuckled.
"WHERE'S REN?" Kakuzu sighed at her.
"With Orochimaru."
"…"
"…"
"… Why the little f*cker?" She sat up, slapping Kakuzu's hand away from her still bloodied arm. She ignored the pain from her body and stood up, falling down slightly.
"I'll murder the two." Her face contorted in pain as Tobi poked at her ribs.
"Tobi. If you do not stop right now I will murder you instead." Madara laughed but Tobi squealed, retracting his hand.
"Now, where is Pein. I need to talk to him." Kisame pointed towards the hallway.
"Shit. That's a long ways." Kakuzu sighed.
"So she does feel pain." He said. Jeen growled at him before opening her mouth and screaming.
"NAGATO~!" A loud crash from the hallway indicated another wall crashing down.
Seconds later, Pein marched into the room, grabbing her by the neck.
"I understand your need to talk to me, but I do not care if I have to break your neck for you to understand that you will either call me Leader-sama or Pein. That is it. You will not call me by my real name or else I will need to teach you some manners, understood?" Jeen shrugged before nodding at him, starting to claw at the hands around her neck.
"Good. Now, what is it?" he hissed, dropping her. Still injured, she fell onto her back, her mouth agape in shock and pain.
"Nagato! She's still hurt! Be careful." Konan yelled, lifting Jeen's upper body up.
"Hm." Jeen hissed at the blood coming out of her arm.
"Do you know where Orochimaru is right now, Leader-sama?" Pein nodded.
"That's better. And no, but we have an estimation." He held out a hand and she took it with a nod. He lifted her to her feet.
"Where?"
"Kisame and Itachi reported it to be in the mountains west from here. About 20 miles."
"Seriously? We have a vacation home towards that area." Pein nodded, bringing a hand to his chin in thought.
"We need to search that area ASAP. But first, we need to get ready. Do you have any weapons besides that sword?" Jeen laughed.
"Do I? I have a few yes. Let's see…I have a few gardening tools, like a chainsaw…Oh! I have knives. Lots and lots of knives. Sasori, you could use some of the herbs out back to-"
"Excuse the intrusion. Hello, there." Zetsu popped out of the ground, smiling.
"We found the location of Orochimaru. Finally." He sighed.
"Took you f*ckers long enough." Hidan said, coming in from the hall.
"Hello, Hidan. Say that again and I'll eat you." Jeen laughed and so did Kisame. Hidan just looked disgusted.
"Don't eat him. You're right. He'd probably taste like filth. That's an even better reason…" More laughter emitted from the two.
"Oi! Stop talking about eating me!"
"Or he'd taste like blood. Isn't that a plus? Depends on the blood. Your mind is so tainted. Like my mind isn't yours? Remember your famous entrance for that last mission? Er…" Pein shook his head at their antics as the others burst out laughing.
"Haha! We…n-need to find Ren…PFFT!" Jeen said, trying not to laugh. Zetsu rolled his eyes before pulling the rest of his body out of the ground.
"Stop fooling around. We need to find Ren." Kakuzu said standing up. Everyone froze to eye him.
"Kakuzu…"
"Could it be…"
"That you…"
"Like Ren-chan?" They all said. Tobi started to bounce around in glee while Konan and Jeen chuckled (a.n: Not giggling e_e). Kisame patted him on the back and Pein glared in his direction.
"No, I do not." Kakuzu shot daggers at Jeen and Konan who shut up at his stare.
"Yes you do, Kakuzu-san! Why else would you care for Ren-chan!" Jeen rolled her eyes at Tobi.
"Uh-huh, like you would know." Madara glared at her, flashing his sharingan before running up to glomp her.
"Aw, don't be mean, Jeen-chan! Tobi knows!" Jeen gasped at the pain in her ribs, silently cursing.
"If you don't get off of me in two seconds, Madara, I will throw you off the roof." She hissed into his ear. Tobi squeaked and shot up.
"Jeen-chan is whispering naughty things into Tobi's ear!" Konan's jaw dropped as well as Kisame's. Pein and Kakuzu face-palmed.
"N-no I wasn't! TOBI!" Jeen, despite her injuries, ran at him, knife in hand.
"Where did she get the knife?" Hidan hissed, looking around for another one. Kisame shrugged.
"Zetsu, continue." Pein sighed, sitting down.
