Kamryn had been looking around the little stall for a while now, eyes sparkling as they scanned over all the lovely jewelry. Finally her eyes landed on a necklace that was the same style as her anklet.
"Oooo." She picked it up, her eyes rolling over the shiny silver. The plate on it was blank, and a little note attached stated 'free inscriptions.'
"Look this matches my anklet!" She grinned, pulling up her yukata a little to show Kisame the shiny jewelry that adorned her ankle.
He just nodded, while he did enjoy the womans company, watching her fawn over jewelry got boring after a while.
"Tobi loves it!" The brunet spouted out, kneeling to touch the anklet delicately. "Can Tobi look at it some more?"
Kamryn just smiled and nodded yes to the man-child, she had become quite annoyed with him this afternoon. He clung to her like a frighten child to his mother, and would always interrupt when she tried to make conversation with Kisame. As far as she could tell, Kisame was quite annoyed at Tobi too.
So Tobi just stared at her ankle for an awkward amount of time, while Kamryn spoke to the stall keep about getting the same phrase inscribed onto the blank necklace.
She chatted to the man for some time, talking about all the details of the inscription.
"Here" she smiled at him, "I'll show you what I have already and maybe you can copy it?" She bent over, lifting her yukata some to get off her anklet, but it was nowhere to be found, and neither was Tobi.
"Oh. My. GOD!" Kamryn fumed, catching the bored Kisame's attention.
"That little brat stole my anklet!" She looked Kisame in the eyes, fire in her own.
Kisame had to admit, it was a little frightening, which was strange since he was twice her size and could take her down with one hand.
"Tsk," He frowned, "I knew he'd be nothing but trouble…"
"I swear I'm gunna rip him a new one when I find him!"
Kamryns expression changed from angry to worried, "Kisame," She started, looking into the shark man's eyes with tears forming in her own. "What if he loses it or breaks it? That was a gift from my Grandma, I can't lose it…"
Kisame sighed, scratching at the back of his head, and reached a tentative hand out to pat Kamryn's shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll find the idiot."
She pouted a little, but felt a bit comforted by Kisame's words and action, "Well, let's go see if we can find him…" She grabbed the man's hand off of her shoulder, pulling him into the crowd of people.
Olivia huffed and glared up at Hidan once he finally let her go.
"What the hell, you asshole?!" She angrily yelled up to the man. Her face was flushed, eyes intense, and her mouth had the slightest pout on it, which Hidan's eyes couldn't seem to move from.
"Bitch," He mumbled under his breath, tearing his eyes away from her, "You'll thank me later, you fucking light weight." He felt heat rising to his cheeks, but blamed it entirely on the alcohol, which wasn't exactly a lie.
She pouted some more, "Ughhhh!" She put her face in her hands, "We were so close~" She squeaked out, ruffling up her own hair in frustration.
He too was frustrated. Frustrated at her and Deidara, but mostly at himself for seeming to care so damn much.
"Damn right you were," He crossed his arms over his chest, "I just saved your fucking ass, you damn drunk girls always regret that kinda shit in the morning."
She glared at him, "You're just mad because it wasn't you."
He let out a laugh, "Like hell, bitch."
"Oh yeah," She quickly moved to stand a few inches in front of him, standing on her toes so she was in his face. Her eyes scanned over his face, she still had a glare on her face, and he matched her glare, throwing it right back.
But a thought crossed her mind, her expression softened, making Hidan a bit confused. "You are pretty hot though…" She accidently mumbled out loud, causing his eyes to widen, just slightly, and a grin to appear on his face.
She quickly realized her mistake, and stumbled backwards, hand going to cover her mouth, and more blood rushing to her face.
His grin only widened at her reaction, on top of it being extremely cute, he now felt like he had the advantage.
"Yeah," He took a step forward, causing her to stumble backwards once more, but he quickly advanced.
He was right in front of her, and bent over into her face so quickly that she didn't have time to even react. He was reaching to move her hands from her mouth…
"HIDAN!" Kamryn fumed, yelling at the man who was advancing on her young friend.
His eyebrow twitched, and her shoulders relaxed. It didn't matter if she thought he was cute, she didn't really want him to kiss her. Not like this, she didn't even really know him, besides the fact that he was a jerk with good looks. Then again she didn't really know Deidara either. What a mess she had made.
Kamryn quickly snatched up Olivia, pulling her away from the man. Instantly, the smell of alcohol hit her, her light weight friend was wasted… Everything made a bit more sense now.
But there was still the problem of Hidan at hand, "What the hell were you thinking?" She pointed a finger at the annoyed man, who just glared at her.
"She's the one who fucking started it by trying to kiss that bastard Deidara!"
Kamryn's eyes widened, had her sweet innocent friend nearly seduced two men in one night?!
"You should know better, you don't seem intoxicated." She wagged her finger at him, but shot Olivia a disappointed look as well, making the younger woman pout and look away, shame practically written on her face.
Kisame finally jogged up, and let out a loud huff. "Found him!"
Kamryn had finally convinced Kisame to split up, no matter what he said, he just couldn't convince her that it would be easy for him to find the twerp. All he had to do was pick up his chakra signal, which Tobi was surprisingly good at hiding, but she didn't seem to understand any of what he was saying. Plus, she was getting a bit hysterical about losing something so dear to her.
Now he worried about something happening to her. She seemed like she'd be capable enough against a civilian, but she stood no chance against a ninja, and if the wrong people knew about their purpose with the Akatsuki, he was sure something bad would happen.
It really took him no time at all to sense Tobi's chakra signal, it would spike every now and then, for some odd reason. The childish man seemed to have gotten himself obsessed with Kam, and there was no telling what was going through his head when he stole her anklet.
He quickly made his way to the alleyway that the signal was coming from, and the scene there disturbed him. Tobi had his mask pushed to the side, in a way where he still couldn't see his face, and he was rubbing the cold metal of the jewelry on his face.
This was just creepy, Kisame thought. Normally he appreciated Tobi's happy-go-lucky personality, but this was taking it too far.
"Oi!" Kisame stomped over to where the man-child was crouched onto the ground, surprising him and making him jump, which slid his mask back into place.
"Tobi is sorry!" The masked man quickly jumped up and started to apologize, holding the anklet out in his hands towards Kisame.
Kisame quickly snatched the piece of jewelry away, shoving it in his pocket. "I'm not the one you want to apologize too," He frowned, "Now come on." He motioned for Tobi to follow him.
Now they just had to find Kamryn and all would be better, hopefully.
It took longer than expected, but finally he could see Kamryn's blonde hair over the crowd. He glanced back to make sure Tobi was still behind him, before he took off in a jog towards the woman, feeling a desperate need to reunite her with her lost item.
"Kamryn!" He yelled out, but she didn't seem to hear. He got closer and yelled again, "Found him!"
He had stumbled onto a strange situation, he had caught a glimpse of Kamryn pulling Olivia away from a grinning Hidan, and he could only imagine what was going on here.
"Tobi is soooooo sooorrryyy!" The man-child popped up beside Kisame, bouncing his way over to Kamryn. She couldn't see his face, but she imagined him pouting more than humanly possible.
Her attention had been moved from Olivia's situation, who was pouting and hiding behind the woman from Hidan. This situation was much more important.
"Where is it?" She demanded, to which Tobi whined in response.
"Kisame took it from Tobi!" He pleaded with her, "Tobi is sooo sorry! Tobi just wanted to feel close to Miss Kamryn!"
Kamryn ignored the mans pleas, trying her best not to clobber him right then and there.
Leaving both Tobi and Olivia standing in place, she moved to stand in front of Kisame. Now was her time to pout, which gave the shark man a weird feeling in his stomach.
She looked up to him with large brown eyes, "Kisame?" She pouted out, wanting nothing more to be reunited with her anklet.
He dug into his pocked, grinning down at her as the silver piece of jewelry caught the light and twinkled in front of her eyes.
Quickly she grabbed the item from his hands, looking it over to make sure it wasn't damaged, and as soon as she determined it was fine, she suddenly enveloped Kisame in a tight hug.
Tears welled up in her eyes, she was so grateful to this man, and felt that there was no possible way to actually express her gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Kisame!" She looked up to him with her teary eyes, still tightly hugging the man, who had stiffened at her touch.
"Don't mention it…" He looked away from her, the feeling in his stomach getting stronger.
She finally let him go after a few more moments and going to turn towards Olivia she got blocked by a whining Tobi.
"Miss Kamryn forgives Tobi, right? Miss Kamryn will still play with Tobi? Tobi will be good!"
Scowling at the groveling man, her anger resurfaced. That anklet was all she had of her gramma while she was stuck here, how dare he take something so precious to her.
Her anger got the best of her as she drew back a clenched fist and then punched the masked man as hard as she could.
"SHIT. MOTHER FUCKING OWWWWW…"
Bad idea. What the HELL was that mask made of?!
Tobi had fallen over and was apologizing to Kam even more profusely than before as she cradled her fist, tears in her eyes from the pain.
Hidan was slapping his knee in the back, cackling which caused a now sobering Olivia to pinch his arm, which resulting in them cursing at each other.
Kisame shook his head at the group, grabbing Kamryn's hand gently and looking it over. She watched his face the whole time, brown eyes wide and teary, a pout on her lips. He was impressed. Her hand wasn't broken, and she managed to knock Tobi over, but that was probably just because he was surprised. Once again Kisame began to worry about the two women.
He put his hand on her head, ruffling her hair, "Nice way of ending the festival, kid"
Finally they had arrived back to their temporary home. Both of the girls collapsed on their beds when they got in their room.
All was silent for a moment before Olivia piped up. "I can't believe I almost kissed two guys tonight…"
Kamryn let out a bit of a giggle, "Yeah, it has been a pretty adventurous night, huh?"
Olivia giggled as well, her face heating up as she remembered being so close to Hidan's face. "Ughhhh!" She let out, rolling around in her bed and ruffling up her own hair. "He's going to be the death of me…" She mumbled out, confusing Kamryn a little as to which man she was referring to, but she smiled anyways.
"You'll be fine, Liv." She got up out of the bed, "I'm gonna go get outta this thing and take a nice long bath…" She smiled at Liv as she passed by her bed, who just stuck her tongue out at her.
They would be alright, Kam reassured herself as she entered the bathroom, leaning against the door and cradling her still sore hand with a much needed sigh…
