War Torn {A Naturo Fanfic}

After a few moments of the girls laughing wildly and Deidara catching them, Kakuzu patted their heads. It was a sweet moment that made me glad to know the girls would no longer suffer any emotional pain. There would be moments, but there would always be someone to make it go away. I had better cross Deidara off that list.

The girls finished making the soup and served it to me. It really wasn't half bad and they seemed very proud of that. Kisame and Hidan-still fuming by the way-came in and sat with us not long after.

"So what order did I take everyone out in?" I asked Hidan. Kisame smiled cynically and Hidan gripped his spoon tighter.

"Zetsu, Tobi, Itachi, Sasori, Konan, Deidara, me, and then Kisame." He answered angrily.

"Wait, Tobi was second? Are you sure?" I questioned, like I would have known any better.

"Yes, why?" Kakuzu counter-questioned.

"His chakra is...well it's terrible. It made me feel dead and it pissed me off. I was more than willing to just kill all of you." I answered in dead seriousness. I let out a breath and shook my head. "Never mind, I don't want to talk about it," I looked to the clock and my shoulders slumped. It was one in the morning.

"You two should be in bed." I told Chiya and Maeko. They both whined. "Don't start with me." I moaned sleepily and shooed them. They shuffled off unhappily. They were tired though. I could see it in their angry little eyes.

I rubbed my face and stopped at my eyes. They were sensitive and I was starting to get a headache. All I wanted to do was sleep, but I knew there could be a dilemma about that.

"I'm so tired." I said, letting my shoulders and chest relax.

"Who are you sleeping with?" Kisame asked slyly.

"Shut up Kisame." I grumbled, not in the mood for his cockiness. However, they were all staring at me. Even Kakuzu.

Okay, so do I want to sleep with comfort, home, or safety tonight? With comfort I'll sleep well and for a really long time. With home...well, Hidan kind of disserves it, but what Konan said was right. There are negative memories. With safety nothing is going to kill me in my sleep. That's always nice.

I frowned. I didn't know and frankly I was in no mood to decide.

"No woman wearing my shirt is sleeping in another man's bed...again." Kisame announced and picked me up before anyone could protest.

"Wait, back up." I said and reached for Hidan. I hugged him around the neck and kissed his cheek, doing the same with Kakuzu before I let Kisame carry me away. I sighed unhappily and glanced up at him.

"I feel helpless. It's like as soon as that thing was around my neck I just lost it." I complained and closed my eyes against the light of the hallway.

"Kakuzu told us what happened to you. Don't worry about anything." Kisame told me, suddenly seeming to bulk up. I decided not to talk anymore.

Kisame set me down on his bed and I watched with blurry eyes as he dressed himself down. He lied down next to me after turning the light out and I thought. It was fine and very easy to walk up to Kisame and hug him. It might not be the best idea to snuggle with him in bed with a lack of pants. I mean, we're just friends right?

"Lay on your stomach." He ordered and I lazily did as I was told. He rubbed my back through the shirt and I focused on the movement of his hand. Up, down, and in circles. It felt familiar and comforting. I was hot though so I kicked the blankets off of myself. A few minutes later I was still burning up.
