Chapter 5 - Shisou (Thought)

        It was already the second day that Nara had been a part of the Akatsuki. For her, the time seemed to pass too quickly, except for at night. The nights seemed to last forever on her part. Normally, at her apartment, the nights will full of sounds. There was the pounding of feet from the neighbors upstairs, who had 3 kids. There was either the barking or snoring of her dog Momo, who she missed dearly. And there was normally music playing as she slept. To others, this sounds like a hectic night, but to Nara, it was normal. The silence of the night in the Akatsuki building was almost unbearable to her. It was stressing her out, which was not a good thing, and she knew it. 


        So instead of lying in bed all morning, at the first sign of sunrise, she got out of her room, and went to the kitchen to start cooking. As she started cooking breakfast, which she planned would take a good bit of time, she started to sing. However, she didn’t know someone was watching her.

“I am a question to the world
Not an answer to the earth
Or the moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say.
I won't listen anyway.
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be.

And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no I'm a man.
You can't take me and throw me away.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own.
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here.

And I want a moment to be real!
Wanna touch things I don't feel!
Want to hold on and feel I belong!
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same!
They don't know me
'Cause I'm still here”



        Nara was still singing when Kisame walked in. She didn’t notice him. She was too busy cooking, and she had her eyes closed while singing. So when Kisame came up to her and tapped her forehead, it was a bit of a shock. Ok, it was a HUGE shock. Enough of a shock that once she opened her eyes, Nara tried to step backwards and fell, hitting her head on the tile. Kisame walked up and leaned over her. If he was concerned, he sure wasn’t showing it. If anything, he looked like he was about to start laughing.


        “Nice fall, girl.” Nara sat up, and started brushing off her robe. “My na-name is Nara. Na-ra.” Kisame laughed a bit, and then fell silent. He was looking, almost staring, at Nara’s face, and it was creeping her out. “Wh-what are you st-staring at?!” Kisame just smirked. “So you’re demon shows itself in your eyes. Smooth. It’s harder to notice that way.” Nara’s eyes widened. She was shocked that Kisame knew about the demon sealed inside her body. She had tried to keep it secret from everybody, even Tobi. How did he know?!


        “So the seal is on your stomach, right?!” Nara gasped, and tried to back away. Kisame was really scaring her. He suddenly did a few quick hand signs, and his finger tips started to glow. “Sorry girl. You’re gonna have to take a little nap.” Kisame suddenly struck her in the stomach. As Nara started to black out, the end of the song she had been singing rang in her head.


And you see the things they never see.
All you wanted, I could be.
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid.
And I wanna tell you who I am.
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am.

And I want a moment to be real!
Wanna touch things I don't feel!
Wanna hold on and feel I belong!
And how can the world want me to change!
They’re the ones that stay the same!
They can’t see me,
But I’m still here!

They can’t tell me who to be,
‘Cause I’m not what they see!
And the world is still sleepin’,
While I keep on dreamin’ for me!
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I’ll never believe!

And I want a moment to be real!
Wanna touch things I don't feel!
Wanna hold on and feel I belong!
And how can they say I never change!
They’re the ones that stay the same!
I’m the one now,
‘Cause I’m still here!
