Seeing Double Chapter one.

So if you are reading this I highly recommend you go read At Dawn. The amazing author allowed me to make my own fanfiction inspired by hers. Please go read hers, it's absolutely amazing.

It was a small town out in the country, but it was a successful town. There was a road that ran through it that connected two major cities. It was in this little town, where two travelers stopped for lunch. It was a small ramen shop where the two friends stopped. The younger one, a blonde, had her hair up in a messy bun but her bangs fell in her face and covered one of her clear blue eyes. She wore a grey blue top that hugged her figure and stopped at the end of her ribcage. She wore highwaisted shorts over fishnet leggings. The fishnets were made out of a metal wire that helped protect her legs. She swung her feet that were covered in simple black boots as she smoke animatedly to her red headed friend who seemed to be uninterested in the conversation.

The red head just wanted to eat her food in peace. She sat with her back straight, opposite of her friend who was leaning on the counter. The second woman had short, choppy red hair that stopped right at her shoulders. She had piercing grey eyes that was the same shade as steel. She was pale like a doll and slender like one. She wore a black top that had a halter neck on the front and back. Her dark red pants were loose and gathered at her ankles where they were tucked into black, heavy boots. On the back of her shoulder, a tattoo rested. It was the kanji for balance. Her friend had the kanji for chaos.

After the two finished eating, the red head paid and the two made to leave. The blonde jumped off the stool and grabbed her pack off the floor. The red head gingerly moved off the seat and the blonde stretched out a hand to stabilize her friend. The red head nodded in thanks and picked up her pack before leaving.

"You ok?" The blonde asked.

"I'm fine." The red head snapped sharply. "Knee joints got stiff." The blonde hmmed in response.

"I can't wait to get back. I am going to pass out, yeah!" The blonde said loudly as the two walked down a road that would lead them through the woods.

"Why are you so loud?" The red headed woman grumbled.

"And why do you have to be so stiff, Saachi?" the blonde retorted and nudged her friend in the arm. The red head stumbled a bit and glared.

"Don't do that, Danyir." The redhead stated threateningly while glaring at the blonde. Danyir raised her hands in surrender.

"Sorry, yeah. Not used to you being so wobbly, hm." Danyir offered as the two started walking again.

"Tch. Neither am I, idiot." Saachi grumbled. The two walked along the path. It had brought them into the woods that separated the town from their home. Halfway to their home, Danyir closed her eyes and let her feet guide her on the familiar path that she had walked so many times before. None of those times had there been a box. Danyir tripped over the box and almost ate dirt. Saachi had sent out strings of chi to latch onto her partner and stop her from falling further. Danyir let out a breath of relief.

"Thanks Saachi. See! You aren't useless without your legs, yeah!" Danyir said and turned to look at her friend. Saachi stared at her unamused before retracting the strings. Danyir let out a yelp and fell on her face.

"What was that for, hm?" She asked indignantly.

"Stop being an idiot." Saachi said as she leaned over the box and opened it. She furrowed her eyeborws. Danyir looked in too and made the same face.

"Those are some weird looking cats, yeah." She said. "Dude! Guess who they remind me of!" DAnyir said and tapped Saachi's shoulder.

"I know." Saachi said quietly as she studied the ten kittens in the box. They wore a striking resemblance of her friends back home. Danyir picked up the box.

"What are you doing idiot?" Saachi asked.

"Taking them with us, yeah." Danyir stated. "Someone probably got them for us as a thank you. People have left stuff for us on this trail before, yeah." Saachi nodded. "Besides, it looks like it's gonna rain, hm. Can't just leave the poor things out here."

Saachi looked up at the darkening sky. This was going to be a challenge. She needed to get back before it rained. Her balance was tolerable for a ninja but if it rained, there was a good chance she would fall and slip. Her knee joints were messed up from the last task as it was anyway. She didn't have time to argue.

Without a word, Saachi jumped onto the branch of a tree and steadied herself before leaping to the next one.

Hey! Wait up, yeah!" Danyir protested and followed suit. "You sure you should be doing this, hm? What would Kazuna say, yeah?" Danyir said as she caught up to her friend. Saachi ignored her and pushed forward.

Akatsuki

"Who the fuck are these two? Where the fuck are we going?" Hidan yelled in his cat for.

"Does it look like any of us know, hidan?" Kisame answered. None of them were very pleased at bouncing around in the box as the girls jumped from tree to tree.

"Fuck you, fish face." Hidan bit back.

"Hidan, shut up. You are not making the situation any better with your loud mouth!" Kakuzu snapped.

"What should we do, yeah?" Deidara asked, looking to thought for a minute. There wasn't much he could do at this point.

"For now, we act as cats. When we get to where we are going, there is a chance we can find out where we are. If we are separated, we have to find out as much information as we can. There isn't much we can do in this state." He said. It frustrated him, being so small and unable to control what happens. He felt Konan gently nudge him reassuringly. He looked to her and met her gaze. Hidan picked a fight with someone but Pein and Konan ignored them.

"They don't seem to know we are people. I don't think they will try to harm us if they do find out." Konan stated quietly.

"Until we know for sure, we will stay on our guard." He stated. Konan nodded in understanding and the two looked as Hidan sat on Tobi.

They the rain on the box. Most looked up to see if it would seep through.

"I guess it isn't raining that hard." Kisame said and Itachi 'hn'ed in response.

"I wonder when we will arrive." Konan said quietly. All of them jumped as the girl who was carrying them called out.

"Saachi!" Danyir yelled as she dropped and grabbed her friend's arm and hooked her legs around a branch. "You ok, yeah?" She asked. Saachi looked up at Danyir.

"Let go." She ordered. Danyir let her friend drop. Saachi dropped gracefully and bent her knees. With the shock of landing, the rain, and the damage from the task they were returning from, she almost couldn't get them to stand back up. With a grunt she forced herself into a standing position before Danyir could even try to help.

"Saachi, you gotta stop beating up your legs like that, yeah." Danyir said, eyeing her friend up and down.

"I'm fine. Let's go." Saachi said and the two took off at a jog. The two ran a few miles before entering a clearing. They stopped and looked at the large field. In the center was a one story building.

"Home sweet home." Danyir said and began to walk forwards. Saachi followed. The two made their way into the building. "I'm gonna go to the common room. I'll set the box down and-"

"What box?" Asked the voice of a third woman. Saachi and Danyir looked at their boss.

"Hey, Pavi! We found a box, yeah. It's got kittens in it! Check it out, hm!" Danyir said and thrust the box towards the woman named Pavi. She opened the box and peered in. The Akastuki saw a woman with long orange hair peer in. Her eyes mirrored Pein's and the Akatsuki looked to him in shock, alarm and confusion. Her ears held five piercing each and she had two small loops in her nose. She hmmed.

"Why do they look like us?" She asked and snapped her head to Danyir.

"I dunno. I'm guessing someone got them for us as a thank you, yeah." Danyir explained. Pavi didn't seemed to agree but nodded.

"Take them to the common room. Send a message to the rest of the squads to meet you there." Pavi said and walked away. Before leaving, she turned back to the two. "Saachi, have Kazuna look at your legs. I don't want you exerting them for the next few days. You are off duty until Kazuna clears you." Saachi nodded and Pavi left.

Danyir grabbed a small wad of clay from a pouch at her side and popped it into her mouth. She chewed for a few seconds before spitting out a small bird.

"Pavi wants you guys in the conference room." She said to the bird. The bird repeated it before taking off down the hall.

Saachi and Danyir walked a ways before reaching the common room. There, two people were already waiting, standing off to the side near a table.

"Kazuna! Pavi wants you to look at Saachi's legs." Danyir said as they entered the room.

"What did you do now? Stop destroying these things, they're expensive." Kazuna grumbled.

"I like the way she thinks." Kakuzu said and Hidan scoffed. "You would."

"Make something more durable." Saachi challenged, voice cold.

"Don't sass me, young lady." Kazuna threatened.

"What's in the box?" asked the tall, slender woman with dark hair.

"Found a box of cats, yeah!" Danyir said excitedly and set it on the table. The young woman leaned over the box and the Akatsuki came face to face with female Itatchi. Itactchi was slightly startled to see the Shaningan shining back at him. The woman pushed her black wavy hair behind her ear with a frown.

"Where did you find them?" She asked as she pinned Danyir with a look.

"We found them on the path home." Danyir said proudly.

"Hm." The woman said.

"Ha! Bitch speaks Uchia!" Hidan cackled and rolled over laughing. Itatchi ignored him and glared at the woman. She seemed to notice and she turned to stare right back at him. The two had a stare off until a grey skinned woman came sliding into the room. The female Itatchi stepped out of the way as the new woman slid past. The group of kittens caught a glimpse of her. Her light grey skin was marked with stripes like a barracuda. She had dark grey hair that was mixed with a light blue.

"Sorry, Icaria." She said once she stopped sliding around. The woman, Icaria, hmed in response.

"Hey, Kida, check out what we found!" Danyir said proudly. The woman named kida leaned over the box. She cooed over the little fluffy things as water dripped off her hair and into the box. "Why are you wet?" DAnyir asked.

"Iv'e been swimming." She answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Where are the other three?" She asked, noticing three people were missing.

"Hira's doing something in the kitchen." Icaria answered, crossing her arms. Mild alarm dashed across Kida's face.

"Why do we let her make food again?" Kida asked, slightly worried. Not about the quality of the food, no Hira was a great cook, but she always left a huge mess or broke something expensive in the process.

"Because this shit's delicious!" Yelled a woman who walked into the room, wiping her hands on her dark green Bermuda shorts. She had long silver hair that was pulled back into a very tight pony tail and reach the small of her back. Her piercing purple eyes landed on the box. "The fuck is that?" She asked, waving her hand at the box.

"It's a box." Mocked Danyir.

"Yeah, I see that dumbass! What the fuck is in it?" Hira yelled.

"Danyir found a box of cats. She decided it bring them home." Saachi said from her seat at the table.

"Why the fuck is it on my table?!" Hira yelled. "Look at all that fucking mud! We gotta fucking eat there you dumbass! What if one of them takes a fucking shit! You're fucking cleaning it up!" Hira yelled at Danyir.

"They aren't gonna shit on your stupid table, yeah!" Danyir yelled in defence.

"I swear to Jashin-"

"Hira." The firm voice of Pavi cut Hira off mid sentence. The last two people had entered the room. Pavi and one other woman. This woman moved silently and resembled a ghost or a shadow. On one half of her face, she was white as snow with thin black lines, mirroring vines creeping up the side of her face until it disappeared into her hairline. The other side of her face held the same marking but this time, the colors had switched. She had long green hair that curled into large ringlets. Her yellow eyes honed in on the box.

"Danyir, set the box off to the side, we will discuss them later. First, I want your details on your last task. Kida, Icaria, I want to hear what you have to say for yours as well." Pavi ordered. Danyir picked up the box and set it in a corner in the far end of the room. Danyir passed the woman with green hair and the Akatsuki had a good look.

"Holy fuck! It's Zetsu's sister!" Hidan yelled. To the rest of the women it sounded like a cat mewling but it caught the woman's attention and her toxic yellow eyes snapped to the men. She was forced to stop staring when Danyir set the box down.

The Akatsuki could hear the women getting dishes and food. Some were talking to Pavi about their previous excursions. There was a bight of laughter and the overall atmosphere was informal and light.

"Are we not waiting for Kahl and Tai?" Kida asked. Pavi shook her head.

"They return later."

"Leader, they have some features we have! Do you think –" Kisame began but Pein quietly cut him off.

"It is too soon to begin to jump to conclusions. We must learn what we can before we assume anything." He said firmly. Someone's stomach growled and people looked in Deidara's direction.

"Wasn't me, un! That was Dana!" He exclaimed and moved a paw to Sasori. Hidan howled with laughter and Kisame chuckled.

"Fucking puppet's feeling again, ha!" Hidan roared. Sasori ignored him and looked up to see Zetsu's look a like hovering over them, staring. Hidan stopped laughing and stared back. "The fuck are you looking at?" He swiped his paws at her. She reached in and flicked his nose, causing him to yelp in discomfort.

"Behave." She said. When she spoke it sounded like two voices. One was cheery and the other was dull. She brought her other hand into the box and gently dropped a few pieces of fish. "Eat." She ordered. She remained where she was and watched as they slowly began to eat. Zetsu felt her staring and looked up to meet her gaze. She slowly reached in the box again and stroked a gentle finger behind Zetsu's ear.

To everyone's surprise, the usually stoic man let out a resounding pur. Everyone in the box turned to look at him. He saw them staring.

"It feels nice. Fuck you guys." He said.

"Pet Tobi! Tobi wants to try!" Tobi said as he bounced over and tried to move Zetsu. A small smile graced the girl's face and she moved to pet Tobi.

"ZENZI!" a youngs girls voice schreeched and Zenzi, Zetsu's twin, looked upand stood in time to catch a flying blur of orange and black. "Zenzi! I'm home! Did you miss me?" a bouncing little girl said while hanging off Zenzi's neck. Zanzi returned the embace. "Tai. Welcome home." The woman said with her dual toned voice.

"Shit, they even have a mini Tobi, un!" Deidara wined. The sound reached the girls ears and she turned her attention to the box. A huge smile spread across her face.

"KITTIES! WE GOT KITTIES!" She screamed and tried to go for the box. Much to the Akatsuki's relief, Zenzi didn't let her go. "Zenzi! Look they look like us! Look there's even one for me!" She sang.

"Calm down, Tai." Said a male voice and the Akatsuki could hear the laughter in the smooth sound. A man stepped into view to reveal a male version of Konan. He had lavender hair like her and a bar piercing in his eyebrow. Instead of a flower in his hair, there was a splotch of white on the side of his head. His hairstyle resembled pein's.

Some of the akastuki laughed and even Pein had to quirk an eyebrow at the man who so closely resembled his friend.

"But Kahl! Look at them!" the girl argued. Kahl looked down and hummed.

"Hu."He said in amusement and leaned down. "Cool. SO we keeping them?" He asked and turned to look at the rest of his team.

"Yes! What I say goes! We are keeping them!" Tai squeeled and wiggled out of Zenzi's grip. She bounced over to the box and smiled at Tobi. "This one's mine!"she declared and picked up the man in cat form. She squeeled and bounced around.

"What have we done." They could hear Saachi say quietly. The akatsuki almost pitied Tobi. Almost. He was enjoying it too much, sothere was very little remorse.

"I thought you said they would be back later, yeah?" Danyir yelled.

"Hey, Tai! How fucking old are you supposed to be again?" Hira yelled across the room. Tai stopped and put Tobi on her shoulder. He watched her curiously. Her face grew to a smirk and she put her hands on her hips.

"Too old for you, bitch." Tai spoke. The akatsuki were taken aback. Not because of the language, but because the voice deepened to a full grown woman's.

"Then fucking act like it." Hira growled. Tai shrugged.

"Whatever, I'm keeping this one." She declared. She calmly walked over to the box. Peering in, she smiled like a child again and picked up Zetsu. He tensed and Tai brought him over to Zenzi. "Here! This one should be yours!" She said in her sweet child's voice again. Zenzi took the cat and stared at it before gently scratching behind his ear. He purred again. This is ok. Both Zetsu and Zenzi thought to themselves.

"Hey, you can't just dish them out like this, hm!" Danyir yelled.

"Why not?" The girl challenged. There was a pause.

"Sit down, idiot" Saachi said quietly. "Let her do what she wants." Danyir sat with a grunt. Tai returned to the box and reached in to pick up Hidan. Hidan clung to her hand and bit down. She screamed and jumped back. "You little shit!" She said in her adult voice.

"That one is fucking mine!" Hira yelled and Tai glared at her. "I don't fucking care which one it was! If the shit's gonna bite you I fucking want it!" She yelled and made her way to the box. "Which fucker did it?" She asked eagerly. Kahl laughed and pointed at hidan. She leaned over and Hidan got a look at the Jashin symbol on the side of her neck.

"Hell yeah! This is my bitch!" He yelled and let her pick him up. He was able to have a better look at her. Along with the dark green shorts, she wore an old grey tank top that gave him a nice view. She was barefoot. He also looked around the room. Over on one side was the table of women. Next to them was a doorway to a kitchen. Near the box where he was just freed from was a bookself, pushed up against a wall. Opposite of this side of the room was what appeared to be a living room. There were two long couches, a round coffee table with a few cushions and a love seat. There was a small television set on a wooden stand that was pushed against the far wall. He relayed this information to the Akatsuki.

"Tai, let me see that." Kida said calmly and Tai went over to her, carefull not to let the blood get on the floor. It wasn't much, but she didn't want to hear Kazuna bitch at her. Kahl bent down again to look at the cats. Konan caught his eye, specifically the white spot behind her ear. He smiled and went to pet her. Konan allowed it and purred slightly. Pein glared at him. Kahl saw and laughed. "Aw, I think he likes you little one." Kahl chuckled.

"Kahl, what are you doing?" Pavi asked. Kahl picked up Pein and Konan and walked over to her. He set Pein on her head and she quickly grabbed him, feeling his claws scratching her scalp. She set him in her lap and glared at Kahl.

"Hello to you, too! Our task went by smoothly, thanks for asking." He teased and her glare hardened. Pein was glaring at the man too, but for a different reason. "You look like your cat." Kahl mentioned.

"He is not my cat." She stated.

"He is now." Kahl stated before sitting. He placed Konan on the table and pet her. "What's for dinner?" He said as he stood and grabbed the huge pot of food. Konan had stood and walked over to Pavi and Pein before sitting at the woman's elbow. Pavi pet her for a second until Kahl Sat down again. "Hu. I guess they like you." He said with a soft smile. Pavi hmmed and went back to eating.

"Does this mean we all have a cat now, hm?" Danyir asked. Everyone looked at her and she sighed before nodding. "Yes!" Danyir exclaimed and practically dragged Saachi across the room. By now, some of the women had cleared their place. Icaria had moved to a seat on the couch with a book as had Kazuna. Hira was lying on the opposite couch, holding her cat in the air. "Jashin would approve." She said to the cat. Kida was clearing away the dishes after she healed Tai's minor scratch. Tai, Kahl, Pavi, and Zenzi still sat at the table with their cats. Tai was blowing air at Tobi and Tobi would try to catch the invisible force, making her giggle. Zenzi would break off small pieces of meat and feed them to Zetsu.

"I do not approve of the idea of having cats running around here." Pavi said as she ate.

"You''l be fine." Kahl said as he dug in.

"Saachi, look! This one looks just as pissy as you, yeah!" Danyir said pointing to Sasori. Both red heads glaredat the blonde girl. She picked up Sasori and tossed him at Saachi. Thankfully Saachi caught him. She stared at him before turning to leave. She approached Kazuna and asked if she would be willing to look at her legs. Kazuna nodded and got up. The two were almost out of the room before Pavi called out to them.

"Kazuna. Take a cat." Kazuna sighed and went over to the box. DAnyir picked up Deidara and cooed at him. Kazuna saw the grey kitten with stitches. They were very similar to the tattoos on her arms and legs. She grabbed that one. Kazuna and Saachi left to the infirmary.

"Aw, you're a cutey, hm!" DAnyir said as ske kissed Deidara on the nose. Deidara batted at her nose. "Don't be rude, yeah." She said and bent back down to pick up Itatchi. He was solid black with blood red eyes. She knew exactly who this one would go to. Kida came back into the room and over to the box. She grabbed kisame.

"Oooh! You're a pretty fella." She said to him. Kisame saw her gills on her neck. However, she did not resemble a shark. She looked more like a barracuda. He grinned. Barracudas were fast and vicious. This girl who seemed sweet and kind hearted could turn into a vicious, blood thirsty being and he could tell.

Danyir carried the black cat over to Icaria and dropped him on her lap, interrupting her reading. She glanced at the offending cat before glaring at Danyir.

"Don't look at me like that, yeah! We all get one. Besdies, I'm sure you and the cat will get along fine, yeah. He's just as grumpy as you, hm." She said before walking away. Icaria stared at Itatchi and he glared right back. She could tell there was something off but she didn't know what. As the watcher of the home, she was frustrated not knowing. Itatchi held her gave and briefly dug his claws into her skin. The only sign of pain he got was the slight tense of muscle under his paws. It bothered him that she had the Shaningan at the same level of him. How did she get it?

"Hey, Icaria?" Kida asked quietly. Icaria looked to her friend. "I'm going back down to the pool. I'll see you later." Icaria nodded and Kida left, still holding Kisame.

"Peace out bitches. I'm gonna take a fucking shower." Hira said, towing hidan along. "I smell like fucking death."

"If only you could wash that personality." Icaria said quietly in a dead voice as she picked her book back up.

"Shut it, bitch!" Hira yelled as she left. Itatchi turned to see what she was reading. He settled down and read along. Eventually, Pavi and Kahl left after bidding her goodnight. Tai was rolling around on the floor with Tobi. Itachi and Icaria sat still for a long while before she set down her book and picked the kitten up.

"Good night, Tai. Don't stay up too late." Icaria said in a tone very similar to Itatchi. Tai grumbled.

"I'm not a child, bird head." The young girl countered. Icaria left without so much as acknowledging the girl spoke.

Kida walked down a few halls and a flight of stairs before entering the pool room. It was a very large pool and looked more like a lake. On the far half of the oval pool, there was greenery and trees. It almost looked like a jungle. On the half that was closer to the door, it looked like a normal pool. Over in the jungle area, there was a small section that was raised on a platform that was covered with moss and roots. Steam rose from it and Kisame could only guess is was designed to look like a hot spring. The water in the pool was clear and still. The floor was blue and small springs ran down the hill and into the pool. There was no chlorine. The chemical would irritate Kida. It was fresh water. Kida set him down on the concrete floor and Kisame looked at her. She wore a tight top that looked more like a sports bra but it was made out of a synthetic material. She wore matching pants that hugged her slim hims and legs, stopping just below the knee. They were dark blue with silver stripe on the side. It was athletic wear.

Kida dove into the pool without warning. The moment she hit the water, she swam off like a bullets. Some water splashed onto the floor and hit Kisame. He was surprised it was fresh water. He stood and walked over to the edge and began pawing at the water. He almost wanted to jump in. Seconds later, Kida appeared underwater and startled him. She grinned under water and he could see her sharp, almost silver teeth. She slowly rose and her sharp nose broke the surface, followed quickly by her slim, bony face. Her hair was flat against her head.

"Wanna swim, little guy?" She chuckled and splashed some water on Kisame. He rolled around in the water. "I thought cats don't like water." She teased and poked his side. Kisame stood and looked back down into the water. When he looked before, the pool only looked to be a few feet deep. Now he saw Kida's fleet beneath the water. The pool was so much deeper than he thought. He wondered how deep it was. Kida swam away on her back, getting ready to do laps until she heard a small splash. She righted herself and saw Kisame had jumped in. "No!" she yelled and dove under the water. In a heartbeat she swam to the cat and was about to grab him until she saw he was swimming. She stopped and looked at him curiously. She dove down deeper and came up underneath of him, Kisame was being pushed up by her head. He broke the surface and breathed in air, not used to having to hold his breath. Kida swam over to the edge and set him dow. He looked fine.

"You are a weird cat." She said and pet his wet fur. Kida sighed and climbed out. And grabbed a towel from a nearby chair, drying off her hair and body. Kisame followed and she dropped the towel on him and began to rub, drying him off. "C'mon Weirdo, let's go to the room." She said, picking him up while he was still in the towel.

Kazuna and Saachi sat with their cats in the infirmary. The two cats sat on a desk, watching the two women.

"At least we got quiet ones." Kakuzu said to Sasori who hummed and nodded in agreement.

"They seem to be like us as well." Sasori noted.

"Let me see them." Kazuna said as she sat on a rolling stool. Saachi pulled down her red pants after pulling off her boots. She was left standing in her top and teal compression shorts that stopped at mid thigh. That isn't what surprised Sasori. His eyes widened slightly at her legs. Her legs from a few inches above her knees and down were fake. Her legs were made of wood and the knee joint was well crafted. He could see the wires acting at joints and wondered if they hid weapons. However, the false legs looked beat up and damaged. There were scorch marks and stress fractures. Any longer and they were at a risk for breaking. The knees themselves were so damaged he was impressed she was able to walk down two flights of steps to get to the infirmiry. It explained her struggled gait though.

"Hu, she's part puppet, too." Kakuzu mused.

"You know how expensive the materials for these are right?" Kazuna gruffed. "You need to take better care of them!" She chided the red head.

"And yours is just as stingy." Sasori responded.

Kakuna wore a black medical mask and her dark grey hair was braided back. Some strands fell out and framed her face. Her hair was straight. She had a dark tan and the men could see dark stitching tattoos. She flicked her wrist and a small strand of her blood shot out like a rope and latched onto a tool box. She tugged and the box went flying across the room. She caught it and set it next to Saachi. "I have to take these off. You're gonna be stuck with the ceramic ones for a bit." Saachi nodded. "And don't break them!" Kazuna warned. Saachi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Making puppets and dolls is different than making synthetic limbs. I'm keeping these to make sure they will still be able to take stress and damage when repaired before I hand them over to you." Kazuna explained. Sasori agreed. When he was making his own body parts he struggled and worked endlessly to improve them, even up until they turned into cats.

Kazuna retrieved ceramic legs and attached them to Saachi. "How are your bones? Any issues?" Kazuna asked and Saachi shook her head while glaring at her legs.

"Saachi, if you are in pain, you will let me know. You don't want to risk losing more of your legs. When you lost your legs, the bone was damaged. I am surprised you don't feel pain." Kazuna said and glared slightly at the younger woman.

"Nothing I cannot handle." Saachi answered slowly. Kazuna sighed. "Lean back. Im checking them." She ordered. Saachi rolled her eyes and did as she was told. Kazuna stood and hovered her hands over Saachi's legs. He hands began to glow yellow and soon a reproduction of Saachi's legs were abover her hands. It was a superficial view. Kazuna concentrated and soon the color faded to a slight red and the image changed to show her muscles. Seeing nothing wrong, she concentrated again to make her hands glow blue. The blue showed the nervous system. Some nerves were sending off impulses. It was an incredible thing to watch.

"Saachi,you are in pain. Do I need to see your brain to make sure you are registering it?" Kazuna threathened. Saachi sighed.

"I am in slight pain." Saachi said. Kazuna made her hands glow white and they could see her bones. There were minor stress fractures at the bottom her bones and near her hips. Kazuna sighed.

"Subborn idiot. Stress fractures." Kazuna stopped making her hands glow and the figure disappeared.

"She's as stubborn as you,too." Kakuzu stated.

"Off your feet for a few days. I'm informing Pavi. No tasks until I am sure you are fully recovered. I don't want your legs breaking." Kazuna stood and grabbed crutches. "Use these to help take the stress off your legs so you aren't completely bed ridden. Saachi glared at the things before taking them. She stood and grabbed them. She hobbled over to the cats and picked up Sasori.

"Thank you Kazuna." Saachi said as she set the cat on her shoulder. She hopped over to the bed and grabbed her pants and made to leave.

"I better not see you without those." Kazuna warned and Saachi left. The stairs were gonna be bitch.

Hira tossed Hidan onto one of the beds in her room. "Watch it bitch!" Hidan yelled at her. All she heard was hissing.

"Suck it up, asshole." She said as she grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom. She stripped on her way and tossed the clothes into a laundry bin before hopping under the warm water. Hidan took this time to look around. It reminded him of his own room that he shared with Kakuzu. On one half of the room, a dark red bed was pushed against the wall. Above it was the Jashin symbol in blood. There was a nightstand that held candles and very few books. There was a silver clock. On the same wall was the door to the bathroom. On the wall intersecting with that one, near the entrance, there was a closet of a few outfits. Then it was the door to the hall and on the other side was another closet. On that side of the room there was an olive green bed and a book shelf. The nightstand had a few books, scrolls and notebooks along with a lamp and clock. In the corner with the closet, there was a sleek black staff that had a pointed tip.

"Were gonna rock this house, 'till we knock it down, so turn the volume loud…" Hidan snapped his head to the bathroom. Hira was wrapping in the shower. If hidan had to admit, she wasn't bad at it. She continued to rap and Hidan continued to snoop. He didn't notice her exit the bathroom. She changed quickly into black shorts and a grey baggy tee shirt. Hidan had taken it upon himself to scale the book shelf. He found himself on a shelf that held jars filled with some odd stuff.

"Is this fucking blood?" He wondered and sniffed. Yep. Blood. A few jars had plants and oils, mostly for healing but a few held poisons that rivaled Sasori's on toxicity.

"Where the fuck did you go, little shit?" Hira said aloud. Hidan jumped and reached for the next shelf but he didn't get a good grip. "The fuck are you doing?" Hira yelled and startled Hidan. He lost his grip on the shelf and nocked into the jar of blood. The jar broke on the floor and Hidan fell into the mess. The moment his fur hit the blood, a cloud of smoke poofed into the room.

"What the shit!" Hira yelled and grabbed her staff, waiting for the smoke to clear. Hidan stood in a crouch, slightly confused and disoriented at being human again.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!"
