Things Need to Change-An Akatsuki Story (ON HOLD RE-WRITE IN PROCESS!)

The Begining

   If living is the best thing in the world then why does it hurt me so? Why am I left alone when I should have died....why does this curse make my life so unbearable? Shouldn’t I be happy?

I just can’t stop thinking these things when I’m feeling down. After all, I know things could have been much better if I had been stronger. I know I shouldn’t complain since I’m alive, but how can one person be happy when everything they’ve loved has been ripped from their grasp? This Village is the place I was born, my home. This is the place I protect with my life, just like the others that came before me.  But I can’t help but wonder what it’s like beyond the village walls. Are humans different than the ones here?

I slowly walked to a little waterfall near the edge of the forest, where all my worries seem to just disappear as I stare into the waters blue gleam. My short chin length blond hair blew in the small breeze; it felt good against my warm tan skin. Sky blue eyes stared back at me from my reflection in the water, my blonde fox ears drooping to the side. The snap of a twig alerted me of someone’s arrival in my territory. They grew louder and louder accompanied by yelling and bickering. I slowly crept closer and began to listen to their conversation.

"Hidan, hurry up. I need to go collect a bounty." The taller man growled out. He had pretty emerald eyes like big brother, but they were surrounded with red around the edges. His face was covered with a mask and his skin was a dark tan. He wore a black cloak with white clouds with red around the edges. “Hidan” had silver slicked back hair and pretty amethyst eyes; he was also wearing the same cloak as the taller man.

      "Shut up, Kakuzu you old fucker! I’ll do whatever I damn well please, Jashin dammit!" They bickered back and forth until I decided to reveal myself to them.

"Ne, what’cha doin’? This is fox territory. ” When they both turned to look at me I stared back at them.

"I don’t see why the fuck we can’t be here, brat." Hidan said. Kakuzu the back of his head and Hidan fell into the water. I couldn’t help but giggle.

“Yer a lot like my nii-chan, Kakuzu.” He looked at me but I couldn’t see his expression.

"Ne, do ya guys need a place ta stay? My cave is bid enough if ya don’t mind." Hidan-baka seemed really tired and it’s been a long time since I’ve had company.

"It’s better than nothing!" Hidan ran ahead but then stopped. "Hurry the fuck up!"

“Ne, is he always like this?" I asked Kakuzu.

 "He never shuts up." He growled. We caught up to Hidan-baka and walked a little ways to my cave. My cave was out of human sight deep into the forest concealed by tall trees. I decorated my cave with sweet smelling flowers and crystals that were imbedded within the cave walls. I set furs on the cave floor to make it a little more comfortable for them.

            “Are ya comfortable?’ I asked as Hidan plopped down onto the furs.

            “Man, this is better than that cheap ass room that fucker rented at that crappy hotel.” He said as he sprawled out. Kakuzu sat on the opposite side of the cave and began to count his money that he took out of a large briefcase.

            “Maa… would ya like some fruit?” I held up the bananas. They shook their heads and laid back down. I walked to the front of the cave and glanced behind me to make sure they were asleep before I left. I wanted to hopefully buy some food in the village, but I wasn’t going to get my hopes up. When I finally entered the village, the villagers sneered and whispered things behind my back. I could hear every word but I had sworn to never harm any of the villagers. I felt something burst on my back and slowly run down my tattered clothes. I looked behind me at a group of boys that were laughing at me. The towns bells began to ring suddenly and the villagers began to make their way to the forest edge. A large male wolf was chained to the tree in the clearing as the village ninja prepared to throw kunai at him.
