Just sittin... (open to all with bios!)

Julian thought: "Crap that was close, why do I have to bring myself in such situations? Why couldn't I walk on? I have killed so many people but why did I have to interrupt this of all battles?"
Julian turned around and took some glasses that stood in the Akatsuki lair, then he opened the warm met, filled the honey whine into them and passed them on to the other Akatsukis.

Kiko would've said something, but the girls chakra was acting odd. It seemed like she was drunk. No shocker there, she did drink enough. Kiko nonchalantly walked into her room. It was pretty out. She heard the sounds of battle faintly in the distance. She looked out the window, hugging her pillow. She didn't mean to be unsocial, she just wasn't very good with people. I hope I didn't offend... she thought.

The stars were beutiful tonight. She felt a strange pull to the battle. Like her essence had been called. Soon the pull became too strong to resist, so she silently appeared in a tree near to the battle, just not near enough to be sighted. She watched as twins appeared, wanting to jump in with them. But she stayed where she was, though her chest ached to stand near the signs. She saw Julian walk out, uneasyness carefully hidden on his face. He handedthe akatsuki members a glass and broke the fight up.

It was nice of him to do that. Less bloodshed, less mess. And I do hate bloodshed... she thought miserably. Trying to keep her face composed, she settled down in the tree, ruffling the branches a bit. She tilted her pale face to the sky, taking in the stars as they shone brightly. She switched her gaze to the moon. A brief connection shone between the two before flickering and going out. I know how you feel...no choice of your own...and always having to reflect and bear others' desicions. She closed her eyes briefly and exhaled. She was sympathizing with the moon. Absolutely pathetic.

Takato Watched as Hidan drank his fill. He though to himself "wow that guy sure can drink alot, He can rival Kasume, but not for me" He was looking at the stars from where his own power was drawn from. "I sure love the stars" Takato said to himself before he heard a faint rustling from the trees

Hidan laughed.
He almost hiccuped but he didnt. "Where is Kasume?"
Shes always hiding out ALWAYS
He thought to himself.
He had half a mind to go back inside. Then he noticed the noise.
The bold Chirp of Kasume's voice.
"Eh Takato? Lets go prank the girls. I think I know where they are."

Julian looked through the room, scanning it in his constant paranoia, then he took a sip of his glass, the warm liquid was rushing down his throat, he liked the taste, unlike the others that just wanted to get drunk..

"I probably have to clean up their mess when they start sleeping, especially Hidan's"
He thought as he scanned the room once more.

Yumi, rather wide-eyed at all the people stmbling around in their drunken stupor, pulled a small container of juice from her pocket and sipped it quietly. she did'nt care for alcohol, or people who drank it often. Hidan and Kasume quite frankly frightened her whilst drunk, and she was half-expecting to be hit, either one round of drinks, or the next one.
(i apologize for infrequent short posts, my computer is busted yet again, and the only time i can log in is when we go over to my grandma's...)

As the others where drinking, Julian double checked the dagger, knives and barbwires he had beneath his cloak, he learned one thing in his time as assassin: If you don't know what's coming towards you, you gotta be prepared for anything, even the unexpected.
Then he intended to leave the room, but then he turned around and put the met on the table with the glasses, smiled a little, then got serious again and walked towards the exit of the room.

Kiko hurridly got out of the tree. "I didn't mean any harm.." she said, almost whispering as she looked down. "I just came to watch." She eyed the frog curiouisly and checked his chakra levels, so if push came to shove she wouldn't be getting in a fight blindly.

This girl is strong...I hope I haven't angered her...

"Yeah! I agree" Takato said to Hidan "lets go prank the girls!" "Any ideas?" He asked.

"Hmpf, I am not a friend of pranks, but if it's for you Hidan, I'll help you... As a fellow scythe user I knida feel like I have to follow you...."
Julian laid his arm around the shoulder of the immortal nin, and said to him:

"Oh by the way, did you know that I am an Atheist?"

Julian was grinning sarcastically

Kiko put her head down. It was obvious how her social skills were affecting those around her. They probably all thought she was nuts. She felt sad, but hid it and decided to talk to Neko again later. Meanwhile, she saw Julian grinning at Hidan and Hidan's chakra spike, so she anticipated something. What, however, she didn't know. But if it didn't include the girls, it could be a guys night out. But she also didn't see any others around. Maybe it was..a...she searched her mind for possible outcomes.

She didn't want to accuse them of something not yet done. But it seemed likely that they were planning something. Possibly against members of the Akatsuki. Possibly against Itachi. But most likely against them. Or just her. If she could get Kasume inside safely, without her noticing something was up, and without the guys knowing about her escape, there was a possibility she could take the prank and the others stay safe.

She thought for a moment, keeping her head down. She was smart. But also childish in a way. More Naive then childish, and she was pretty innocent. Whatever was being planned, even if it caused her pain, she'd take it if another could be spared.

Her head was still down and she kept her shoulders slumped, acting like she was sad to disrupt Kasume. "K...Kasume?" she said, immitating a child. It wasn't unbelievable, becaus eshe did look childish. "I...I didn't mean to-..to.." Kiko looked up, shocked.

"...a..ahh!!" she screamed, dropping to the floor. She took her arm out of her socket and drew a thin line across her arm with a hidden blade, but not in sight of the other ninja. She gasped and tears rolled down her face. She attempted to stand but her knees wobbled and she fell back down. She clutched her shoulders and whimpered, not looking up at the kunoichi.

The plan was relativly simple. She would be in pain, easy enough to cause. Either Kasume would run off to get a medic ninja, or she'd get Leader. But...her plan was spotted. She failed to realise that Kasume may do neither of these. Actually, she knew. But she hoped that Kasume would leave so she could go take the prank.

But she wanted her gone quickly. Their was no telling how much time she had to diffuse the trap. Kiko hoped she got lucky. Really badly.

".............." Kiko stared at the ground. I knew this wouldn't work...

"........" She looked down at the cut and wrinkled her nose. Slowly, she put her arm back in it's socket and grimaced as a hot pain shot up her neck. She wiped the fake tears off her face and stood up, ashamed. The cut on her shoulder was still bleeding, but she didn't care. She deserved that pain.

"........" She didn't dare look up at Kasume. A small breeze ruffled her shoulder, and she shivered. Of course it wouldn't work. They were too smart. It was foolish to think it would've.

She kept her eyes fixed on the ground. Kasume had asked for an explanation. What should she say? Sorry, Kasume, I wanted you to go inside so that you wouldn't get hurt by Hidan and Julian because it seems they're trying to prank us. How stupid. It was just dumb. She couldn't do that. Another option was to say she liked the attention. But it probably wouldn't sound likely.

"...." Meanwhile, her thoughts ran away from her, and she was left looking at the ground. Kasume was bound to be irritated by her silence. But she just couldn't think of what she was supposed to say. A offer to drink, like Julian did with Hidan? Or maybe she should bribe her to go inside. That actually might work...

"I..." she stopped. She had no idea how to put that idea into words. She wrangled with her thoughts, trying to come with a good sentence. Eventually she gave up.


"Sorry." she said numbly.

Kiko was surprised. She didn't predict this course of action. But it made sense. She nodded, slowly. She raised her eyes and met Kasumes'. She smiled for the first time for years.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You know Hidan, back in my village the people believed that the moon was god and the eclipse swallowing it up is some kind of devil, that was the cause why all of us eclipse eyes...well how do I explain what an eclipse eye is..... see my black eye with the red pupil? It's common that eclipse eyes have 2 of these, but I am not a full blooded eclipse, or how they call us too shadow eyes, well I am getting off topic, all I wanted to say that we where enslaved while the religious silver, or moonlight eyes, could live in luxury.
So I think you could understand why I believe in nothing rather than believing in such crap as the holy moon,"
Julian lifted his head, anger was to see in his normal eye, the left side of his face stayed emotionless.

Then he thought:
"I have to get him in a conversation or something else, before he starts thinking about pranking someone, when there's something I hate as much as slavery it is pranking, I just can't understand what's funny about making someone feel ashamed or even letting him or her suffer...
But I can't risk starting a battle with an immortal...

at least not again."

"Wow way to leave me guys!" as Takato ran to catch up with Hidan and Julian, "I actually wanted to do this" he thought to himself, as he caught up he heard the end of Julian talking "whats up guys?"

[color=indigo]"Were about to go get the buckets, now werent we Julian?" Hidan asked sadistically.
**
After whispering Kasume said "Lets go!"
Then the nin darted from the trees, into the cave... And layed in wait.
**
"D****t! I forgot my necklace.... Im not Doing this without it." Hidan said. "Lets go to the hideout." He said, walking off. Knowing the others would follow.
**
"Hidan left his worship necklace today..." Kasume said, reaching onto the dresser, grabbing it.
She spun it around her finger. Shutting her eyes.
"Suppai." She summoned. Then the bird flew from the corner of the room. To the girls swallowed the necklace, then looked to Kasume... "Fly this to the tallest hill. Then bury it. I will send for it later.
"But--" The bird let out a slightly humanoid burst of speech.
"No questions." She silenced the bird. [/i] She knows shes not aloud to speak loud around humans.[i]
The bird nodded. Then flies away out from the door.. Kasume turned to Kiko, watching for the Surprised expression on her face.

Julian took his necklace and looked a it, it had the shape of a serpent moon and was silver
"phatetic" He mumbled.

Ryuu walked into the room looking like he just woke up

Julian bowed own immediately as he saw his higher up, it was still stuck in his head from the years of slavery to bow down.

Kiko was certainly surprised, but decided not to say anything. "Will he be mad that you have his necklace?" She asked, curiously eyeing the bird as it flapped away. She felt a longing for Neko-chan and hugged her shoulders in the darkness. "I mean, he sure seemed in a hurry to go and get it. Wouldn't it be bad for us to be found in possesion of it?" She thought for a moment.

"We could sneak it into someone's pocket. Someone you don't really like very much...and can't be traced to you. Maybe someone you don't care very much for, but don't hate. We'd be less suspicious then." She returned her gaze to Kasume.
