Crysta's POV
Things have been running through my mentally unstable head of mine. Like for example.. When the hell are we going to get Gaara? What part of Shippuden are we in? And how the hell are we going to prevent everyone's deaths? We just reunited with our badass ninja about a week ago and now I have all these things running through my head, and those things aren't pleasant and both worry and scare me.
I do not want to lose my precious Zombie Duo. Wait, scratch that.. I do not want to lose my precious Akatsuki.They're my family. So now we have to plan out how to prevent death.. And after we do, I will laugh in the face of death! Well..maybe not of a laugh..more of a snicker. A quiet, little snicker. And not directly in death's face. So actually.. When we prevent death, I will quietly snicker behind death's back!
"Crysta?"Bryanna asked, snapping out of my trance."What?"I replied."You zoned out again."
"Oh..I guess I wasn't paying attention." I can't tell anyone besides Leader-sama about my thoughts. I don't want anyone freaking out."What's bothering you Crysta?"Zetsu asked. Shit, how did he know?"Nothing."I told him."Yes there is. We learned back in your world that you play with one of your bracelets whenever something's bothering you." I glanced down and noticed that I was messing with the hair tie I keep on my right wrist."He's right, Crysta. You do play with your jewelry when something's wrong. So you might as well tell us what it is."Autumn said. I sighed and stood up."I'll..explain it later." I then went upstairs, going to talk with Leader-sama about my thoughts. I was stopped when someone grabbed my wrist, causing me to gasp and jolt around. I sighed in relief as it was only Kakuzu."Jeez, you nearly gave me a heart attack.."I sighed. He had a serious look in his eyes. Oh shit.
"What's the matter?"He asked."Nothing, just something I need to talk to Leader-sama about."I replied, trying to continue down the hall. But Kakuzu refused to release my wrist. It was strong enough to keep me here, but also weak enough keep from hurting me."Why can't we talk about it?"
"Because he's the leader and it's about the timeline and everyone's deaths." Why did the world hate me so much? Why did it just love to throw these emotionally awkward moments at me? We had one of our stare-offs. And I could tell that he figured out that something was actually bothering me."Fine, but if we talk in the middle of the hall, anyone could just walk-in on the conversation."I said, knowing he's too smart. No matter how much of a great liar I am, I can't get away with lying around these damn ninja. They're way too smart for my awesome lying skills. Except for Hidan.
We went into the room, where hopefully, no one will intrude this emotional conversation. If anyone does, they earn themselves a sword up their ass."Alright, now what's the matter?"Kakuzu asked me once again. I sat on the bed."I'm just..scared."I said. He gave me a confused look."Why would you be scared?"He asked, sitting next to me."I'm afraid of the timeline of the anime.. I'm afraid that something will go wrong while we try to prevent your deaths..and..we'll lose all of you.. And it'll be hard to plan everything out to prevent your deaths.." I could feel that sense of fear I felt during those entire two years returning.
During those two years, all I felt was sadness and fear. I was afraid that the timeline would continue, they would all die, and Madara would continue with his plan, which I'm not very fond of. How Megan loves that psychotic, supposed-to-be-dead Uchiha, I will never know. I looked down."If you, or anyone, were to die, I don't know what I'd do.. I probably wouldn't want to live myself anymore." I felt him grab my wrists."I promise that we'll be fine. I won't be dieing any time soon. None of us will." I looked at him."..I..need to talk to Leader-sama.."I said, removing my wrists from his grip. As I left, I just knew Kakuzu continued to stare at me.
I walked through the hall, feeling scared. When arriving at Leader-sama's office, I knocked quietly, but loud enough for it to be heard."Enter." I walked in and saw Madara there with Leader and Konan as well."Sorry to bother you Leader-sama, but..I have some things that are kinda important."I said, shutting the door behind me."If it's something important, then you're not bothering anyone. Sit down and we'll talk about it."Leader told me. I sat in one of the chairs, getting slightly scared.
~A LITTLE WHILE LATER~
Megan's POV
I looked up from my phone as Madara returned from the little meeting he had with Leader-sama and Crysta."So what did Crysta need?"I asked, putting my phone down."She was thinking about the timeline of the anime."He replied. I felt my heart skip a beat. That was the one thing that had scared all of us. But there was one thing that scared me and Crysta more. It was Madara's 'Moon's Eye Plan'. The others are lucky, considering that they aren't that far in the manga yet."S-so..what did she say?"I asked."Well we discussed it, and her, Dawn, and Autumn might need to go to Konoha to see if they are aware of our reappearance yet."Madara explained. He sat on the bed next to me."She also questioned when we were going after the one-tail, which is in a few weeks, and we started planning to prevent Deidara and Sasori's deaths as well." I could only imagine what Keira and Alexa would do if they lost Deidara and Sasori.
"So..Dawn, Autumn, and Crysta are going to Konoha?"I asked, wanting to know more."We're still discussing whether they should or not. If they do though, they'll only be there for a few days to about a week. Only to find out if the ninja are aware of our return."Madara told me. I nodded."I wouldn't be suprised if they did know, though."
"What if..they're there longer?"I asked, worrying about them. Madara chuckled."Megan, we are talking about Crysta, Dawn, and Autumn. I'm sure they'll be fine. But..if they are there longer than they should be, we'll have someone go and retrieve them."He told me, placing a hand on mine."I've got a feeling that Kakuzu, Kisame, and Hidan won't be very happy about the idea of Crysta, Autumn, and Dawn going to Konoha on their own."I said. He seemed to stare at me. It felt odd."Megan..I've been wondering this for a while.."He started. I nodded."And, don't take it the wrong way, but..how old are you..?" This shocked me. I've never thought that he would ask something like that."I'm..sixteen.."I replied."Oh.." I sat on his lap."But my age doesn't matter. If you love me and I love you then that's the only thing that's important." He hugged me and sighed."I'm sorry for leaving for two years.." My heart skipped another beat. I could feel the tears forming in my eyes."How did you..?"
"I know it's been bothering you. It's also still bothering the rest of the girls." A tear ran down my cheek. Madara wiped it away with his thumb."We never meant to leave for so long."
"Th-then why d-did you..?"I said, choking out another sob."We had to find the jutsu to come and get you and try to remain hidden from other ninja." I hugged him back."I swear we won't be sepperating again." I slid his mask up and we had the kiss that we went without for two years. All of our emotions were in the kiss. I felt as if a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. After pulling away, I stared into his visible eye, sharingan activated as always. He hugged me again."I love you, Megan."
"I love you too, Madara." I felt so relieved. These emotions that continued to eat away at me were finally let go.
Dawn's POV
Crysta told me about me, her, and Autumn going to Konoha. And since Hidan would have a fit if I didn't tell him 'till the last minute, I told him now. He still had a fit, though."I'll fight that fucking leader if that's what it takes to keep you from going to fucking Konoha!"Hidan snapped, sending the blades of his scythe through the wall. I sighed."I'm not some little fucking kid that needs someone to watch me every fucking minute of the fucking day."I snapped back, getting irritated."Yeah, but still! Psycho bitch showed me the anime, and the fucking bastard that's going to try and fucking kill me lives there!"
"It's not like Shikamaru will automatically think I live with the Akatsuki! Besides, I hate the fucker for killing you in the anime, so I won't be socializing with him any time soon!"
"Exactly, because you're not going to that fucking shit hole!" I growled in frustration."You just got back after two fucking years, and now you're deciding to take off?"He asked."It's not like I'm leaving for good, it's only a few fucking days!"I barked. This was our first actual fight. And I don't like it."I'm just pissed that you're not worried or scared or even denying to going to fucking Konoha!"Hidan continued.
"Worried..or scared..?"I whispered."Why should I, when that's the main thing I felt during those two years." Hidan gave me a confused look."I was worried that the anime's timeline would continue. And I was scared that you were going to die, and I was going to have no one that loves me. It's possible that I still don't have someone who truely fucking loves me." He looked shocked."Dawn.."Hidan started. I turned away."Why would you think that no one loves you?"He asked, trying to make eye contact with me. I gladly denied."Because no one ever did. My mother died when I was ten and my father hated me. He wanted a son, not a daughter. And you're the only guy who's actually wanted to date me longer than two fucking weeks."I said. I hate fucking emotional moments like these. Hidan grabbed my arm."I do." I looked at him with a shocked expression."You..what?"I asked. He stared at me.
"I fucking love you." I was shocked. This was the first time in memory that someone told me that they actually loved me. Me. Of all the people in this universe-wait no.. These two universes, Hidan loved me. And I could tell that he meant it."You mean it..?"I asked in a whisper."Why wouldn't I?"He told me."Because no one's truely loved me."
"Well I do, and that's why I don't want you going to that fucking shit hole Konoha."
"If I do go to Konoha..I assure you I'll be fine. I can take care of myself. I'm not the same immature psychotic you knew two years ago. Minus Megan, Alexa, and Keira, none of us are." He looked at me oddly."What do you mean?"
"Megan, Alexa, and Keira are only around sixteen, meaning they're still going to be a little immature for a little while. But the rest of us are eighteen or older, meaning we're more mature. Crysta and Bryanna were worried that you would be expected them to be the same, so they put their emotions aside and tried acting like the same crazies you all knew. But if you hadn't noticed, their emotions are starting to get the best of them. And they ain't the best at handling emotions." He thought about the information I just gave him. I laughed."I love how you're retarded." His eye twitched."I'm not retarded." I smirked."Yes you are."
"Want me to fucking prove it?" He now had me pinned to the bed, evil smirk in place. He leaned down and whispered in my ear,"I'll prove I'm not a retard by finishing what we started the other night." I looked up at him confused before realizing what he meant. I smirked as well."Fine by me."
Autumn's POV
I swore under my breath as one of my cuts from training began to sting as Kisame helped treat it."I feel like an idiot.."I muttered."Handling twin blades is harder than using just one. Besides, everyone gets hurt when fighting or training."Kisame told me. I sighed."How the hell will I make it Konoha if I constantly get hurt in training?"
"Konoha? Why would you be at Konoha?"
"Leader-sama and Crysta discussed some things and he's considering sending me, Dawn, and Crysta to Konoha for a few days to see if the ninja there know about your guys' return."
"Oh, hell no." He finished putting bandages on the wound and gave me a look that said,'You're crazy if you think you're leaving'."You are so protective, I'll be fine. It's just Konoha and I'll only be there for about a week. And besides, I won't be alone, Dawn and Crysta will be with me."
"Autumn, I know I can get protective, but I do because I love you." I sighed again."I know you do, but if Leader-sama thinks we should go to Konoha, then let me go." I am kinda scared to go to Konoha, but if I need to, then I'll go."Autumn, you just got back after two years. Don't you want to stay with us?"He asked."I know it's been two years, and I do love you too, but we need to do this so we can prevent the anime's timeline to progress. If it does continue, than we'll lose everyone."
"Alright, but why go there for so long?"
"Because, don't you think they'd get suspicious if some weird girls that are without chakra come into their village out of nowhere and then leave only a day after they arrived?" He chuckled and hugged me closer to him."I suppose you're right. And I was getting protective about you going to Konoha becuase I don't wanna lose you. Not after being seperated for two years and finally reuniting."He told me."Now it's myturn to say that you're right Kisa-kun. So can I go to Konoha then?"
"If it was up to me, I'd say hell no. But since Leader-sama is the one that's asking you's to go, then I won't go against his orders." I wrapped my arms around his neck."I'm happy that we're back together, Kisame."I said."I could say the same exact thing." But our little moment was ruined when we heard Aeryonna laugh."If you two our gonna make baby sharks, do it somewhere other than the bathroom."She said. I glared at her."It's not like you and Itachi don't make baby weasels."I replied with a smirk. She rolled her eyes."Just get out of the bathroom." We got up and left and Aeryonna shut the door after we exited."I think I could use a break from some of these psychotics..so Konoha could be a good place to go."I said. Kisame chuckled."Just be careful when you guys get there."
"No promises." He stared at me. I laughed."Alright, we'll be careful. I was only kidding around."
"I know."He said, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me in a kiss. He managed to carry me bridal style to our room, so we wouldn't be making out in the middle of the hall, and continue the kiss. Man, I really love my shark.
Crysta's POV
I spent a little longer in Leader-sama's office because I wanted to teach him and Konan sign language. Why? Well because I thought we needed another way to communicate other than speaking. Just in case. We also needed to explain the plan for preventing Deidara and Sasori's deaths with Keira and Alexa since they're the ones who's going with them when they go to get Gaara. If we didn't let the two go with their artists, they would surely have a bitch fit. And that would not be fun.
I tied my hair up in a ponytail as I walked down the hallway. And I was so zoned out that when Kakuzu said my name, I had a mini-heart attack."JASHIN..why does everyone keep scaring me today!"I said."What did you and Leader-sama talk about?"Kakuzu asked."I told you earlier. The timeline of the anime and preventing all your deaths." Oh, and did I mention that I might go to Konoha for about a week with Autumn and Dawn? We continued to stare each other down."You also talked about something else too." Damn, he's smart.. I sighed in defeat."Yeah, we did. It's about Konoha." We walked into our room where our conversation would hopefully go in peace."Now, what about Konoha?"He asked."Well..Leader-sama needed to know if the Konoha ninja knew of your return, which they're most likely to know.."I started. He nodded.
"And he thinks me, Dawn, and Autumn should go to Konoha to see if they're aware of you guys coming back, which they probably are." Yeah, I could tell that he didn't like that idea at all."You're truly insane if you think you're going to Konoha." I sighed."Listen, at first, I didn't like the idea either. But if Leader-sama thinks we should go to Konoha, then we're gonna go."I explained."You just got back less than a week ago. And now you're going somewhere that if you get hurt, we can't help? How long are you supposed to be there for?"He questioned."A-about..a week."I muttered."No. Hell no. There's no way you are going to another village for over a week."
"Yes, I am."
"No, you're not, Crysta." I grabbed the nearest thing, which was a pillow, and threw it at Kakuzu. He caught it with ease. Though, my anger didn't last for very long. I sat down on the bed and forced back a sob. I really hated crying. It makes me feel defenseless. Which, I'm not."Jashin-damn it, I'm going to Konoha..I'm not losing you and everyone else.."I said. I pulled my hoodie up, trying to hide my face. That's another thing that I started doing over those two years. Whenever I'm upset, I pull up my hoodie and try avoiding others. But in this situation, I can't avoid Kakuzu. I'm stuck with this damn conversation.
I felt my hoodie get pulled off."Crysta, listen. I don't want you to go because I'm worried about you. You just got back after two years, and now you want to run off to Konoha for a week. It just doesn't seem right."
"..You're right.. It's because I'm scared..not only of the timeline..but it's also because I thought everyone would think I would be the same.."
"The same?"
"Yes..the s-same crazy t-teen you all saw two years ago..but I'm not..I'm an emotional wreck.." Now I couldn't stop myself from crying."You were my l-love..and then you d-disappear for two years..and then after trying to get over it, you return and I just fall apart again..I kept t-telling myself that you weren't ever coming back.." I was pulled into an embrace. I broke down and cried in his shoulder. This was the one thing that I needed when we reunited. Just to cry. It's hard to try and act like your old, hyperactive self when you have these emotions eating away at you.
After a few minutes of crying, I felt so much better."You alright?"Kakuzu asked. I nodded."I wasn't the best during those two years either. You were the only thing that was on my mind, because I was worried about you." I sighed into his cloak."So are you going to let me go to Konoha with Dawn and Autumn?"I asked, looking up at him. He sighed."It won't be for very long, just a few days. Please." No, I did not really want to go to Konoha. But at the same time, I did. It was confusing, so I just decided to go. And I know that Dawn and Autumn rather stay here as well, but Leader's orders."Just swear to me you'll be careful and you'll come back unharmed."He told me."I cross my heart." I rested my head on his shoulder. But then Kakuzu pulled me into a passionate kiss.
I pulled back slightly, but he continued to kiss me. I then realized that this was that passionate kiss we've missed over the two years. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed back once again. Soon, this was turned into a french kiss. But I began to feel self-conscious as my jacket was unzipped and pulled off. I pulled away, feeling very self-conscious."I'm sorry..I just..get self-conscious without my jacket.."I said."You've never done that before..why?"Kakuzu asked."It started soon after you left. I felt that no one would love me like you did, and even after we reunited, I couldn't change the feeling I get without my jacket." I slipped my jacket back on."I just felt the need to cover up my appearance." As I started to re-zip the jacket, Kakuzu grabbed my wrist."You don't need to." We had a stare-off before I hugged him."I love you."I told him."I love you too." Jashin, what would I do without my beloved Akatsuki?
