War Torn {A Naturo Fanfic}

"She's fine now, but her uterus sure chose a bad time to start its spring cleaning for the first time." I answered and stared out the door.

"That's disgusting." He stated and gave me a perfect opening to make it even more disgusting.

"It is disgusting. For one thing it smells terrible and we get some messed up digestive issues that add to the unbearable pain of getting an organ scraped clean. Then sometimes there are clumps and it's pretty gooey to begin with. It gets everywhere no matter what you do and it messes with your head too." I probably would have gone on.

"Ah, that's enough!" He insisted loudly and I laughed in satisfaction. It felt good to laugh and talk with a guy. My best friend in my second life was a guy and I tortured him with these things. It's a very special thing and every girl should have it. Guy friends are the best thing ever. They won't stab you in the back and really just want you to be happy. They'll also get you into trouble.

"So speaking of blood, how do you know Hidan? You two seem pretty close." He asked, giving me yet another opening.

"Oh totally, we're friends with benefits. We have been for as long as I can remember." I told him in a completely serious tone. He turned his head to the side and gave me a look. I held it for as long as I could before cracking up. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding." I assured him and then prepared to answer seriously.

"The truth is just kind of, ah, complicated." I sighed and nibbled the pad of my thumb. "We met when I was six. We both grew up in Yugakure, which was never the best place. Some older kids picked a fight with me. I was just a kid and had no interest in fighting. They had every intention of killing me and they would have had Hidan and his foul mouthed eight year old self not shown up." I smiled at the memory.

"He made the bad guys go away and freaked out a little when I held his hand on the way home." I said. "We were friends from then on out. Everyone else hated Hidan so I was pretty much his only friend, but I don't remember having any other friends either. Everyone thought I was weak and I was. Hidan toughened me up though." Every time I talked about it it got clearer.

"I was ten when the war started. My father was killed, my mother ran off, my sisters were taken away, and all I had left was my grandmother and Hidan. Then Hidan just had to go and save me again. I watched those terrible men stab my best friend to death." A tear trickled down my cheek and I whipped it away. "I didn't know what to do I just snapped. I went on a murderous rampage only to find later that Hidan had somehow been saved. It didn't matter though. I was long gone." It was the first time I had really told anyone this.

"Not long after that they started training us to be the monsters that we are today. I ruined the good name of my father by slaughtering innocent people with his sword and Hidan took up Jashinism. The first time I saw his ritual I lost it and from then on out I never went looking for him because I was terrified to watch him die. If he wanted to talk to me he had to find me." That was a new discovery.

"We were the best Yugakure had and we were just kids. When I was thirteen it became too much to take, then I got abducted and taken to another world along with Maeko and Chiya. Our memories were wiped and we were given false ones that fit the lives we lived. When we were dropped here a few months ago we didn't remember anything at all until we went back to our villages and the girls still don't remember as much as me. That's kind of off topic though." I finished.

Kisame was silent so I bent down closer to him. "You're listening right?" I asked skeptically. "Because I know most of the time guys don't listen." And boy did I know it.

"It's kind of hard not to listen to something like that." He said, satisfying my question.

"Good, I try to be an interesting speaker." I said and staid leaning forward. "Are you done yet? My clothes are getting soggy." I complained.
