I have worked very hard on book one of this series. I really hope you enjoy it! I've actually finished the first book, I've written it all down in notebooks, I just have to type it. I apologize deeply in advance for any mistakes. I've added several OCs to this story as well. The OCs in the chapter are: Orphan(main), Utsukushii(major) Kimuzuashii(major), Aka(minor), Hikari(minor), Rika(minor), Haruhi(minor), Koji(minor), Aku(minor), Two People At The End(minor) The characters that belong to Masashi Kishimoto respectively are in fact mostly OOC, meaning Out Of Character
New Members?
"Tobi misses Orphan..." Tobi said, sitting on the floor.
It had been a week since Orphan had been captured, with everyone making plans to get her back. But there was ONE problem...
"There's nothing we can do, we don't know where Aka's lair is. Un" Deidara stated.
"Is Pein STILL sulking?" Kisame asked.
"Yep."
There was a knock at the front door. Itachi answered.
"Sashimi, Koji, Orphan isn't coming out to play today."
"Oh, okay..."
Itachi closed the door. Pein came out to the living room.
"D-do you think she might b-be d-"
"No! Aka knows she's our weakness. So he's probably keeping her alive in case we come after him again." Itachi said.
"Where's Konan?"
"Her bedroom. Un"
There was another knock at the door.
"They sure are persistent..." Itachi said, going to the door. He opened it, "Sashimi, Koji, I thought I- Who are you?!"
"Does it matter? We're comin' in."
Two people pushed past Itachi and went to the livingroom.
"We have so-"
"Hey hey hey, who the fuck are you?!" Hidan shouted.
"I'm someone who's going to kick your ass if you interrupt the lady again, that's who the fuck I am!" The man shouted.
"Seriously, who are you? Un" Deidara asked.
The woman walked up to him. "I'm a little shocked and hurt that you don't remember us, Dei-dei..."
"... Dei-dei? Where have I hea- NO WAY. NO WAY! Un" Deidara stared at the two while everyone else stared at him like he was crazy. "Utsukushii, Kimuzukashii?!"
"It's about damn time." Kimuzukashii huffed.
"Oh, stop being grumpy!" Utsukushii said.
She had pink hair, light blue eyes, see through shades, and a lolipop in her mouth. Kimuzukashii had green hair, yellow eyes, a silver cross-necklace around his neck, and a toothpick in his mouth. Hidan glanced at Kimuzukashii's necklace and let out an inhuman sound.
"Begone! BEGONE! IN THE NAME OF JASHIN, BEGONE!" He yelled, holding up HIS necklace.
Kimuzukashii just rolled his eyes.
"Deidara, who are these people?" Sasori asked.
"... They're... They're friends from Iwagakure... Childhood friends. How did you find the lair? Un"
"Well, it wasn't easy. I can tell you that." Utsukushii said, scratching her head. "We actually came here to tell you that someone was looking for your help."
"Oh really? Un"
"Yea, a little girl. She was really cute. She asked if we could give you a message."
Pein pushed Deidara out of the way. "What is it?!"
Utsukushii and Kimuzukashii turned away from Pein.
"Really?! You're going to be like that?!"
Utsukushii and Kimuzukashii didn't answer.
Pein huffed, "Fine, talk to Deidara."
Utsukushii and Kimuzukashii turned back around to Deidara.
"So, she said that you needed to know where she is. She let Kimuzukashii take her picture, and he wrote down coordinates." Utsukushii said.
Kimuzukashii handed both to Deidara.
Deidara looked them over, "That's her alright... Who's this man? Un"
"Let me see." Itachi took the picture. "That's him. That's Aka."
"Well what are we waiting for?" Pein asked. "Let's go get Orphan!"
"Konan! We're going to get Orphan! Un" Deidara called.
Konan ran down the stairs, slipping her cloak on. "Who are they?" She asked, looking at Kimuzukashii and Utsukushii.
"I'll explain on the way. Un"
"Tobi's not coming." Tobi said.
"Neither are we." Zetsu said.
"You're coming, Parsely!" Kimuzukashii said.
"Let's GO." Sasori said, impatientely.
After walking for many hours...
"So, just to be clear, you two were Diedara's childhood friends and you just now reunited and you're the people who found Orphan..." Konan said.
"Well, yes." Utsukushii said.
"Correct in ways, sweetheart." Kimuzukashii said.
Konan frowned, taking that in the wrong way, and slapped him. Kimuzukashii staggered backward, as Konan can hit hard.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!"
"You called me 'sweetheart', what the Hell is THAT supposed to mean, eh?!"
"I didn't mean it like that, yeesh I've only just met you! I want an apology!"
"Yea, you owe him one." Utsukushii said. "Ya got some nerve slapping hi-"
Konan slapped Utsukushii, "Shut up!"
Utsukushii would have been totally fine with the slap, if something wasn't missing from her mouth. She looked down at the ground. There it was, all sticky, dirty, nasty, filthy, disgusting, with bugs crawling on it. All in all: INEDIBLE.
"You knocked my lollipop outta my mouth!" Utsukushii slapped Konan.
"It's not important!" Konan slapped Utsukushii.
"Bitch fight." Sasori said.
"IT. WAS BLUE. RASPBERRY!" Utsukushii slapped Konan.
Konan was about to tackle her, but Pein grabbed her and held her back. Kimuzukashii held Utsukushii back.
"Woa woa, Utsukushii, I'M supposed to start fights, not you... And over a lollipop?!"
"It was the last blue raspberry one I had... And it was the same flavor of when-"
"Yea, I know, say no more."
Pein let Konan go, "Konan, calm down, you know you're older than Pinkie."
Utsukushii frowned, then raised an eyebrow, "Pinkie?!"
Konan sighed, "You are right, Pein. I apologize for my behaviour. I got offended over a stupid thing."
"Can we just GOOOO?!" Sasori whined.
"Sure, Dollface." Kimuzukashii said.
They all continued walking.
"C'mon kid, eat the sandwich!" Aka said.
"No!"
"I don't want you to starve!"
"I warn you! I've got a live shark at home and if you so much as touch me again, he'll find you and rip your throat out! And my uncle will rip your head off! And my grandma will rip your lungs out! And my grandpa will rip your heart out! And my Nii-san will break every bone in your body! And my daddy will rip you limb from limb! And then my mommy will blow you up into smithereens and Zetsu will eat your remains! ... Not in that exact order."
"V-vivid thoughts for a six year old..."
"They'll find me! When they do, you're DEAD!" Orphan shouted.
"Just shut up, kid! Just give it up! They'll never f-"
"Give. My. Little. Sister. BACK."
Aka turned around, startled.
"Th-the Akatsuki? No, I won't!"
"So be it."
After a while of fighting...
Sasori sent his Kazekage puppet flying at Aka, weapons out. Aka dodged it.
"Pein, now!" Sasori said.
Pein went for Orphan. Aka grabbed her before Pein could.
"Earth Style, Melodic Spore!"
Tiny spores landed on almost all of the members, and all but four fell to the ground, unable to move.
"Khh, h-he's stronger than expected... Un" Deidara said, on the ground.
"Spores won't work on us!" Zetsu and Sasori said.
"Fire Style, Prison of Flames!" Aka said, making the hand signs with one hand.
Instantly, Zetsu and Sasori were in a cage of flame. Kimuzukashii pulled out two guns. Aka held Orphan in the line of fire.
"Tch, I can't shoot without killing her!"
"Wind Style: Spherical Prison!"
A wind sphere formed around Kimuzukashii. Aka turned to Itachi and Utsukushii. Itachi had just finished weaving hand signs,
"Fire Style: Fire Ba-"
"Wanna roast her too?!" Aka shouted, holding Orphan up.
Itachi stopped.
"Heh, Earth Style: Grass Knot!"
Grass wrapped around Itachi's ankles, immobilizing him. Utsukushii pulled out several needles and threw them. Aka moved Orphan in front of them. Her eyes widened as they sunk into her skin, then she went limp. Utsukushii hid a smirk. Aka dropped her to the ground. Pein yelled as Orphan fell, motionless.
"Heh... Wind Style: Breath Taking Cyclone!" AKa shouted.
Utsukushii was surrounded by wind, unable to breathe. Itachi clenched his fists. He looked at the Akatsuki, lying on the ground, unable to move. He looked at Zetsu and Sasori in their fiery prison, the flames just getting hotter and closer to them. He looked at Kimuzukashii and Utsukushii, suffocating. Finally, he looked at Orphan, lying on the ground, motionless. Itachi's eyes narrowed. He was mad. Extremely mad. This man had taken Orphan away, got her hurt, and messed with his friends.
"Uchiha Itachi... Heh, you're not as strong as th-"
Itachi broke the grass around his ankles that was supposed to be 'indestructible'.
"Wh-what?!"
Aka could see that Itachi's sharingan had changed.
"I told you, sharingan won't work on me! Earth Sty-"
Itachi appeared behind Aka and wrapped his arm around his neck. Aka could sense a change in this person. He wasn't like when he captured him in his jutsu. The air was colder, his eyes were darker. His chakra sent chills down his spine. Like he was set to a different mode: KILL.
"Nnngh, heheh... The natural born killer. Poor poor little Uchiha, no one special left in his life..."
Itachi's grip tightened.
"I'm glad the brat's no longer-"
Itachi gave his arm a swift pull and Aka fell down, dead. His jutsus were released. Zetsu helped the Akatsuki to their feet.
"Are you okay, Utsukushii? Un" Deidara asked.
"Yea... Kimuzukashii!" She quickly went over to the coughing man.
"I'm... Okay... Not dead... Yet..." He said, coughing hard.
Itachi picked Orphan up, pulling the needles out of her.
Pein grabbed Utsukushii by the shirt, "How dare you throw needles at her?!"
"I-it made him DROP her, d-didn't it?!"
"Hey! Let the girl go, Peircings!" Kimuzukashii yelled.
Pein growled and let Utsukushii go.
Konan brushed herself off, "Let's go home. Zetsu, dispose of the body."
Zetsu nodded.
Back at the lair, when Orphan was finally conscious...
"C'mon, please? We'll be of great use!"
"Hm. I'll think of it." Pein motioned for Konan and Tobi to follow him.
"Who's turn is it to go shopping?" Kisame asked.
Hidan raised his hand.
"Can we go? Kimuzukashii and I?" Utsukushii asked.
"I would say Hell no, but I have no control over you two." Hidan stated, walking out the door.
At the store...
When the three got in the store, Hidan and Utsukushii both grabbed baskets.
"You shop for the boys, I'll shop for the girls." Utsukushii said.
Hidan made a weird face, "Why? You aren't even part of our organization."
"So? Buh-bye." Utsukushii walked away.
Hidan rolled his eyes and did the same. Kimuzukashii stood there motionless, not knowing if he should buy something, wait for Utsukushii, or follow her. He decided to wait. After all, how long could it take?
As Kimuzukashii was waiting for Utsukushii, two pretty females walked up to him. One had beautiful long light blue hair and green eyes while the other had gorgeous short red hair. She also had green eyes, darker than her friend's. Kimuzukashii didn't care and didn't acknowledge them at all. He didn't particularly care that they were coming closer to him. In fact, he noticed Itachi walk by and wondered what he was doing there.
The two ladies giggled, "Hello! Nice to meet you! I'm Hikari and this is my freind, Rika."
Hikari smiled at Kimuzukashii. Kimuzukashii didn't respond, continuing to watch for Utsukushii. The two girls looked at each other.
"U-um... What's yor name?"
Kimuzukashii looked at them. "Kimuzukashii." He answered.
Hikari smiled. She turned to Rika, "He's really cute!"
Rika silently nodded in agreement. Kimuzukashii went back to paying no attention to them.
Hikari kept talking, "S-so, um, I was wondering if you'd, maybe, I don't know... Come sit and talk with us a bit?"
Kimuzukashii had nothing better to do, so he gave a slight nod. Hikari's face brightened. She and Rika dragged Kimuzukashii over to their table in the food court.
"Sooooo, how old are you?" She asked nervously, hoping she could finally gain a boyfriend.
Kimuzukashii heard the question, but chose to ignore it. Rika didn't really like when people didn't answer quickly, so she repeated Hikari's question. Kimuzukashii figured that they would keep asking, so he answered.
"Twenty-two."
Rika and Hikari smiled and told their ages. Kimuzukashii's jacket was unzipped and all Hikari could stare at was his perfect body. Kimuzukashii noticed her gaze. He was hot anyways, so he took his jacket off and placed it on his lap. Hikari's face turned a light pink. Rika couldn't resist it any longer. It was already too late when Kimuzukashii realized what she was doing. Rika ruffled his hair and giggled.
"It's so soft! I thought it would feel spiky!"
Kimuzukashii looked her in the eyes. She gave him a sincere cute smile. Rika withdrew her hand. Her expression was still gentle and bright. A little girl ran over. She looked like she was related to Rika. Kimuzukashii got the clarification from Hikari.
"This is Rika's little sister, Haruhi." She said, smiling.
Haruhi climbed into Rika's lap, staring at Kimuzukashii.
"Who's that, Rika?" She asked.
"Kimuzukashii. He's a nice man." Rika replied.
Haruhi gave a cute smile. Kimuzukashii had grown tired of these girls, and was now annoyed that Utsukushii wasn't back. It was rude to just leave, and it was obvious they wouldn't take a 'goodbye'... So he stayed. After an hour of listening to the girls, answering a few questions, and nearly falling asleep once or twice, he spotted Utsukushii. He waved her over. Utsukushii happily walked over, dragging the basket along. There were some items and girl clothes, that she had gotten for Konan, Orphan, and herself. She was sipping on coffee, which she got while on her break from shopping.
"Yes Kimuzukashii?"
Hikari glared at Utsukushii breifly. Kimuzukashii stood, draping his jacket over his shoulder.
"I'm sorry ladies, I'm afraid I have to... Go."
Hikari gave a sad look. "Just stay a little longer, please?"
Haruhi pleaded as well.
"No... I really am sorry. Your company was... uh... Pleasant..." Kimuzukashii said, holding Utsukushii's hand, entwining his fingers with hers.
Hikari noticed and her heart skipped a beat. Did he already have a girlfriend? Was she hitting on someone else's man? She forgot to ask if he was single! He was just perfect boyfriend material! He just was so... PERFECT!
"Trying to get a girlfriend?" Utsukushii teased.
Kimuzukashii's grip became tighter. Utsukushii slightly smiled.
"Well, if you don't mind, I really need to get a bit more things..."
Kimuzukashii slowly let go. Utsukushii turned his face to her and kissed his cheek.
"I'll see ya later, have fun!"
She turned and walked away dragging her basket. Kimuzukashii turned back to the females, who were smiling a bit too creepily for his liking...
"Ehhhh... I still have to go, sorry, bye."
He turned and quickly walked away. Once out of sight, he ran to find Hidan, even though the two didn't get along very well. Hikari shrugged, it was at least worth the try.
After thirty minutes, Kimuzukashii and Hidan were waiting for Utsukushii near the checkout.
"Hey, I remember you!" Someone said.
Kimuzukashii and Hidan turned around. Standing there was a man and...
"Koji?" Hidan said, recognizing the boy.
"Hi... This is my uncle, Aku."
Hidan glared at Aku. Aku glared back. Kimuzukashii stared at the both of them.
"If you EVER approach Orphan again, I'll sacrifice you to Jashin!"
"She looked familiar! I used to have a niece that looked like her!"
"Well, she's MY niece, so fuck off!"
"There is a CHILD present!"
"I don't give a shit! I do not give a FLYING FUCK! You stay away from Orphan, asshole!"
Aku frowned and lead Koji away. Hidan let out a heavy sigh, "Hmph..."
Kimuzukashii rubbed the back of his head. Utsukushii walked over after paying.
"Whew! I'm exhausted! And it's gonna be a long walk home!"
"It's not your home yet..."
"Who cares? I don't." Utsukushii smiled in a way that annoyed Hidan.
Itachi walked past.
Hidan frowned, "Itachi, what're you doin' here?"
"Getting stuff for my cat."
"You have a cat?! When did you get a cat?!"
"I've had her for a while now..." He walked out of the store.
Hidan thought for a second. "Oh yea... That cat is annoying..."
The next day...
Itachi lazily turned over and looked at his clock. It was ten thirty AM... He swung his legs over the side of his bed, got up, and groggily headed toward the bathroom. He normally wasn't this tired in the morning. He washed his hands and went down the stairs, going to the kitchen. Hidan was in there, hungrily raiding the fridge. It was the Akatsuki's 'lazy' day, so it was nobody's turn to cook. Utsukushii was at the stove, making french toast. Apparently, she and Kimuzukashii were allowed to stay, much to Hidan's dismay. Itachi walked over to a cupboard and took out his favorite cereal. He poured it into a bowl and added milk. He brought it to the dining room, where Kisame, Deidara, and Kimuzukashii were already eating. He sat next to Kisame.
"Deidara, why do you have those dark circles under your eyes?" Kisame asked.
"Oh, Sasori Danna came into my room at one AM and asked me to help him hunt down a person for a new puppet. I helped... Until FIVE THIRTY AM! We didn't get back until five forty-seven! Un"
Kimuzukashii nodded, "It's true."
"I only got four damn hours of sleep! I'm never helping Sasori hunt down another person for a ne-"
"Hey, Deidara, the person we got last night wasn't as good as I thought he would be, help me again tonight."
"Sure Danna! Un"
Sasori walked out of the dining room. Kisame, Itachi, and Kimuzukashii were staring at the blond haired man.
Deidara frowned, "Don't judge me! Un"
Itachi silently got up and went back to the kitchen. He put his bowl in the sink and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Utsukushii went into the dining room and sat next to Deidara, begining to talk to him in between bites of food. Orphan hopped down the stairs, one by one.
"So... Slee- Uncle Hidan!"
Orphan ran over to the sofa and jumped on Hidan. There was a crack.
"What was that sound...?"
"Nngh, I-I love y-your enthusiasm... B-but I th-think that was the sound of my SPINE snapping in half!"
Orphan got off of him, "What's a spine?"
"A series of vertebrae extending... Uh... Your backbone..."
"Ohhh... Daddy, I broke Uncle Hidan!"
"WHAT?!"
"She didn't break me!" Hidan buried his face back into the cusions. "Go bug Mommy, Uncle Hidan's busy..."
"Okay!"
"What is Hidan doing?" Sasori asked as Orphan skipped past him.
"Making out with the sofa!"
Sasori's gaze followed Orphan as she skipped away, trying to process what he just heard.
"Deidara! Come here!" Pein called.
"Coming! Un" Deidara sighed and went over to Tendou.
"Deidara... I think it's time to give Orphan... 'The talk'..."
"But, she's so young! She's only six! Un"
"I know, but being an Akatsuki member, and with all those other shinobi, she needs to know."
"... I guess I agree. Orphan! Un"
Orphan approached the two men, but cautiously. Last time the both of them called her, they attempted to take her Naruto plushie.
"Yyyyyyeeeeesssss?"
"We need to discuss something important with you. Un"
"'Kay!"
Thirty minutes later...
"Pein! Why is Orphan so wide eyed?" Konan asked.
"We gave her the talk." He answered.
"What?! WHAT TALK?!"
"The Akatsuki one, not the 'where babies come from' one."
"Oh... Thank goodness..." Konan smacked him on the head, "SHE'S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU TO BE TALKING ABO-"
"For the love of Jashin, what the fuck is Orphan rambling about?! What she's saying, six year olds shouldn't even KNOW! She's saying something about a kunai, a heart, an eye, blood, gore, and a banana! And MORE!"
"We gave her the talk! The Akatsuki one!"
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU SHE'S ONLY SIX!"
Pein and Deidara ran out of the lair. Orphan sat by Itachi and kept repeating a sentence. Itachi didn't respond. Orphan got annoyed and breathed in deeply.
"NII-SAN I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU!"
"You don't have to yell, Orphan..." Itachi muttered.
"Yes I did, you didn't hear me the first eight times."
Itachi sat up and sighed, "What is your question?"
"Well, Daddy says everyone in the Akatsuki is teamed up with a partner. Mommy has Sasori, Uncle Hidan has Grandpa, Daddy has Grandma, Tobi has Zetsu, Uncle Kimuzukashii has Aunt Utsukushii, and YOU have Kisame! What about me?!" Orphan pouted, looking like she was about to cry. "Why am I being left out? Why am I the only one who doesn't have a teammate?"
Itachi sighed, "You are teamed up with ALL of us."
"... Really?"
"Yup."
"YAAAAAAYYYY!"
Outside the lair, Kakuzu had taken Hidan's weapons.
"KAKUZU! GIVE ME MY WEAPONS!" Hidan yelled.
"No."
"C'mon, give the religious freak his weapons." Kimuzukashii said.
"Shut it, Kimuzukashii! Kakuzu, do what the green haired grouch says!" Hidan shouted.
"No." Kakuzu replied.
"Then give 'em to me." Kimuzukashii said.
"Sure." Kakuzu handed Hidan's scythe and spear to Kimuzukashii and walked away.
Hidan growled, "GIVE THEM BACK YOU ASSHOLE!"
Kimuzukashii shook his head, "Not till you apologize for calling me a green haired grouch."
"NEVER! THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE!"
"Later, Freak." Kimuzukashii walked away.
"AAARGH GET BACK HERE!" Hidan followed angrily.
A week later...
"What is it, like, seventy fucking degrees out?!" Hidan shouted.
"Close, it's eighty." Utsukushii said.
"Can I go out and play?" Orphan asked.
"By yourself?" Pein asked.
"It's okay, we gave her the talk. Besides, it's our backyard. Yes, you may. Un"
"Yay!" Orphan threw off her cloak and ran outside.
"Stay on our property!" Pein said as she did.
Orphan skipped around the backyard humming songs the Akatsuki would have no idea what they were. She spotted something shiny on the ground and decided to go toward it. As she did, the bushes rustled. Instead of running inside to get Itachi or Pein, Orphan very quietly walked up to the bushes.
"DIE!" Orphan shouted, leaning over them.
"Aah!" The person fell backwards.
Orphan giggled, "Hi! I'm Orphan!" She said, climbing over the bushes when the guy stood.
"Oh... You're a little girl... Wait, you're th-THE little girl!" The guy backed up.
"That's an awfully big sword ya have... Like Pet's!" Orphan exclaimed.
"S-stay back!"
"Hey, you have sharp teeth!"
"I-I'm not afraid to hurt you!"
"You should be!" Someone yelled.
Hearing the unknown voice, the guy, Suigetsu, looked up. Sasori was standing there, looking ready to kill him. Suigetsu started reaching for his sword, when Itachi and Hidan came into view. Suigetsu thought better of it and retreated.
Later on in the evening...
"Nii-san, can you teach me to play this?"
"Sure..."
Itachi turned on the game system and handed Orphan a controller. There was a knock at the door. Everybody's cloaks and headbands were in their rooms, so Pein just opened the door.
"Uh... Hello... Who are you?"
"Hello. We got back from a mission a week ago. We've been gone from our village about a year because of... Difficulties and such, so the Hokage thought we were dead. When we got back, we went to my wife's brother, but he only had our nephew. We searched the whole village then decided to check else where. We've been checking every house and building and we've made it here."
Pein looked annoyed, "Who, what, WHY?!"
"We're looking for our daughter."
Please note: I call the black side of Zetsu, Yoropiko. It is easier than calling him KuroZetsu or Black Zetsu. I am also addicted to writing Pain's name as 'Pein', I apologize if either of these things are annoying. I've also noticed that I go between 'hm' and 'un' for Deidara in previous chapters. I am EXTREMELY sorry about that! I didn't and don't do it on purpose, I did/do it mindlessly! Hopefully, it will not happen again and I will stick to 'un'. But I'm not making any promises :(
