An Eternal Explosion

T w e n t y - T w o

There are a lot of '* * *' in this chapter, which means either a time skip, a point of view change, or the separation between the info at the top or bottom of a chapter and the actual story. Sorry but I had a bit of writers block so I tried to keep the story moving in order to avoid it getting too boring.

* * *

"Konan, relax. I'm fine, hm."

"Deimara, it's getting obvious. We need to get you some looser clothing, and having those clothes will start to get painful."

"I know, I'm trying to figure out how we can get money from Kakuzu."

"Um... I'll distract him and Hidan in the kitchen. You go for the money."

"Got it, hm."

Konan and I exited her room, going in opposite directions. Arriving at their room, I silently knocked just in case one of them was in there. When no response came, I quietly cracked the door open slightly to peer inside. Seeing an empty room, my body slipped inside before shutting the door as quietly as possibility.

My eyes moved to Kakuzu's side of the room, immediately running over and opening my cloak on his bed. Moving to his closet, I pulled the doors open before beginning to move some money onto my cloak. Clicking my tongue slightly I put on another handful before reaching to close the closet.

"Hey Kakuzu, wait!"

My eyes widened at Konan's voice, immediately going to my cloak and folding it like a little bag. I moved it over to fall over my shoulder and quickly moved into Kakuzu's closet and pulled the door closed just as the door to his room creaked open.

"What do you want, Konan?" The male grumbled.

"I wanted to give you some money, since it was your birthday the other day!"

"My birthday was in August."

"Oh, really? I thought you said it was in February!"

"What do you think I am, an idiot? Deimara, out of the closet. Give me my money."

The closet doors were yanked open, myself freezing up at the sight of Kakuzu. His eyes were filled with anger as I exited the closet, him ripping my cloak from my hands and pouring his money out onto his bed. He then looked to my and Konan with a glare, the two of us flinching.

"What the fuck do you want with my money?"

"We need to buy clothes for Deimara." Konan answered.

"What's wrong with her current clothes?"

"They don't fit very well anymore." I replied.

"Well that's your own fault for letting yourself go."

"It's not really something I can help..."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, I-"

"Deimara, you don't have to."

"Well we need his money, and if something goes wrong we can get him to look without having to explain during an emergency."

"What the hell is going on with you two lately?"

"I'm eating for two, hm."

Silence froze over as Kakuzu attempted to process the information, having no idea how to reply. He was completely frozen, not moving a muscle. Myself and Konan exchanged nervous glances, but after a moment Kakuzu cleared his throat and looked towards me with a serious expression.

"How?"

"Sasori." Konan replied.

"Did that damned puppet fucking rape you or something?"
