As I said before, they're extras, so I'll give them all to you guys. Honestly, you readers are awesome. Thanks for sticking with me!
And just because this chapter got a little confusing, even for me, the bolded ~~~~~ is for the next story, which is completely unrelated to the one before. The ones not bolded are to symbolize a change in point of view, but from the same story.
Enjoy!
*******************
Taking a midnight soak stroll in the forest, Konan spotted Zetsu.
Oh, perfect.
She squatted beside him. He was on the forest floor, tampering with something.
"What are you doing?" she asked. "Just out of curiosity."
"Just the usual," he replied, giving her a quick glance.
"You're barely ever at the hideout, so I'm not quite sure what 'the usual' is..." Zetsu shrugged and grinned.
"Maybe that's it. I'm doing my usual, disappearing." Konan chuckled.
"Well, I found you, so you may as well let me stay."
"Are you even into gardening?"
"Oh, is that what you're doing?"
"No, I dropped a seed. Just picking it up."
"Where do you plant this stuff?" Zetsu smirked.
"You wanna see?"
"As long as you promise it won't kill me, absolutely."
"You'll live, and you'll be the only person besides Rin and I to have seen it."
"Rin again?" Zetsu turned to her.
"What's that supposed to mean? She got me into gardening." Konan laughed.
"It's just that Rin seems to be involved in every peaceful activity we have around here."
"Duh. Rin is the reason for our peace." He grinned. "Come on."
As the path grew on, fireflies lit their way. The plants began to have a small glow to them, almost as if they were magical. The moon seemed to reflect on a small pond that was never there before.
He led her deep into the forest, right into a cave.
"...Why haven't I seen this before?" she asked, weirded out.
"Gardener's secret," Zetsu said, shooting her a playful grin.
"Oh yeah, your black side isn't speaking. Is there a reason?"
"He's less dominant in the nighttime. I can wake him if you want."
"Uhh, no thanks. I like this side of you." Her inner Konan pounded her brain in embarrassment. Oh my god. I didn't just say that to Zetsu.
Fortunately, he took it lightly and just laughed.
"That's good. We're here."
The origami user's breath caught in her chest as she saw the variety of flowers glowing under the moonlight. There were plants of every kind, and each seemed to have their own unique glow. They illuminated the garden, covering it in soft brilliance.
"Wow," she breathed. Konan felt as if one wrong step could ruin the moment.
"Welcome to my secret garden. If you want to have a honeymoon with someone here sometime, come find me." Zestu winked, and Konan felt her cheeks flush.
