《Loose Screws》6. Vol 1 - Of Mata and Money

That man is Zabuza, the 'woman' than I put into sleep is Haku.
"Oh Crud, Don't worry about it. He's just asleep," Until I wake him up was left unsaid.
Zabuza then look at me with anger on his eyes, And really want to kill Ami. "He's really asleep," I then assure him.
"You better be not lying,"
I then look at him ridiculously,
Well, Now I can see the fan theory that Zabuza look at Haku as his son was right. I can see the compassion he got for Haku, well then.
"Yea, he will be awaken if you give Ami back to her owner," I then said, acting as a child who want her candy back from the meanie old man who take it.
"No, You wake him up first then I will give her," he then grunt.
I then raise my eyebrow at him,
"Ok, Fine. Your toy and this bundled of blood," With that, I then nod in happiness.
Then I notice something.
'How do I wake Haku up?'
I then walk to Haku, whos currently in a deep sleep, and randomly tap his forehead.
Then Haku eyes went open. And look at us confusedly.
Similar as a victim who just got hypnotist. He then look around as if he was lost.
Zabuza then drop Ami, who was discarded like a dirty rug and go to Haku. "Are you ok?"
Haku then look at Zabuza with a confused face. "What happened? The last thing I remember that the lady was looking at me, And then I- I woke up?"
I then just let out a strain smile.
Then grab the bundled head and Ami, "Well, uh- I guess this is good bye?" I then prepare to run, But then I hear an emotionless yelp.
"Really Ami?!"
I then look on my back where Ami currently become the hostage of Zabuza once again.
"You have one job Ami! Even your dead husband," swaying the bundled head around, "Is better than you," I then grumbled. Ignoring a raising eyebrow from Zabuza and Haku.
"Sorry."
I then just shake my head, If her smile wouldn't remind me of my mother and her pregnant, I would let her die in the hand of Zabuza.
"Ok, What do you want now?" I then said. And notice how Zabuza look at the top of my head and Haku keep looking down on the ground.
It seems that they learn that I need an eye contact for my 'Hypnotist' to work.
"We got a job with this man name Gato," Oh hell no. "And I just got this feeling this man will be back stabbing us very soon.". He then said,
"Ok, and how is that related on how I handle Ami and her husband with this 'Gato'" I then have my hand to use as a quotation for Gato name,

Zabuza then shrug.
"I just need a reason,"
Causing me to look at him with a 'Are you serious' face.
"You're kidding right?" I then try to make sure on something in here. As I remember that on the Bio for the Narutowiki, that the Zabuza on the info was not this- This weird.
Zabuza then look at her as if she was stupid.
"Oh fuck, tell me you are kidding. You choose a random ass ninja, who currently have a country to serve, to help a missing Nin, Oh, and it look like you are not just a C-rank or B-rank lowly missing Nin as well, but higher than that, To help you to. What was it agaian? Helping to see if Gato didn't back stabbing you?" I then loo at him trying to see if he was joking. or laughing at least,
Then Haku speak up, without having his head moving and keep looking at the Ground, "Zabuza-sama and I were desperate. And we choose you because we can see that you have a heart that most of the Ninja don't have. The proof is that you actually listen to Zabuza-sama without actually trying to kill him."
I then was left speechless.
"Ok, First, I didn't attack because I know I probably losing," Ignoring Zabuza cough that sounded like 'Bullshit', I then continued. "And second, I did attack your, uh. Child?" Then Zabuza growl at me with that,
"What? He totally look like your child. He got the same hair color and all." I then start my bullshit skill.
Then Zabuza grumble something that I couldn't hear. But from Ami hostile face, it's look like it's a bad one.
And that's new. I never knew Ami emotionless face can changed.
"Well?" Zabuza then said, ignoring the glare that Ami given.
"Well what? I don't even know what to do or what I get from helping you both,"
Zabuza then grumble once more.
"A favor from us. that's what you get, And some money from Gato vault." Zabuza then said, causing my face to lit up.
More money!
Today has been fruitfull!
"Oh, and try to do your Bloodline stuff to make Gato sign the sheets saying that he's agree to give everything to us," Zabuza then said.
I then look at him,
"I want 50% of it."
"10%"
"45%"
"10%"
"70%"
"What- Are you-"
"You got a problem? I just want the liquid money, not the building he own or something,"
"40%"
"Deal," I then said smiling. "Now, give me back my toy, She's pregnant, you better be careful," I then said.
Causing Zabuza to look at Ami curiously, "Oh hell, I thought you just fat."
Ami then glared at him and I just choked on air.
And Haku? He just giggled.

. . .
"So, Are you a female or a male?" I then ask,
Curiously looking at Haku,
Haku then replied with a smile.
I then just nod,
"Alright, he or she is genderless then," I then mumble to Ami, causing Ami to look at Haku and hold her belly.
"Do you want me to check the gender Ami?" I then ask her, Ami then nod at me.
I then look at Zabuza, "Hey, could we have a break from walking for a sec, I wanna check something."
Zabuza then look at me, not meeting my eyes though, and nod.
"Cool thanks,"
I then walk toward the tree to get to the shade, and pat the grass beside me for Ami.
Ami then sit on the shade from the tree beside me,
Putting my hand on Ami bulging tummy, I then close my eyes trying to see something. Once again, I don't know what to do, but I wing it anyway.
Then I can see 4 blob.
"Oh shit-" I then accidentally say.
the three blob is not even formed yet. So I couldn't tell the gender. But I know for sure that Ami got a quadruplet.
"What's wrong?" Zabuza then ask curiously as he watch us performed.
And I can feel Haku walking toward us closer.
As if he was fascinated.
Opening my eyes, I then look at Ami face with a smile. "Well, it seems that I couldn't see the gender yet-" Then Ami face drop a little, "But! You have Quadraplet! Yay!" I then 'happily' cheer.
Zabuza then splutter and Haku eyes went bigger.
But Ami just smile.
"I always want a big family," She then said as she hold her tummy lovingly and lovingly stare at the bundle of head I got.
I then cough as I feel uncomfortable.
"It's ok, I didn't blame you," Ami Then smile at me. Causing me to let out another cough, or choke, from the guilt.
"Uh-"
Zabuza then feel uncomfortable as well, watching Ami and I interact.
"Ah! I forgot to ask your name, And I believe you know what's our name correct?" Zabuza then said, probably trying to change the conversation.
I nod at him,
"You are Zabuza and that kid is Haku," Zabuza then nod, "Well, nice to meet you guys. My name is Lima no Sabaku, and this is Ami," I then said.
Zabuza then raise his eyebrow,
"What's your clan name?"
"Well, I was an orphan," I then bullshit.
Which causing Zabuza to nod. it seems that he buy my bullshit. "Not surprised there. Suna is known to buy children whether they are civilian or clan member,"
I didn't know that. They forgot to put that on Naruto Wiki!
"It's started when the Jinchuriki went mad," I then bullshit,
"You tell me," Zabuza then mumbled. Probably remembering his Kage who went mad and start killing everyone.
He then remember something and look at me.
"Hey, I think I might know what's your clan were," That actually cause me to look back at him twice.
I am just a parasite in this body! I don't need to know who's this bloody body clan.
"Yea, You are probably from the Mata clan. They're known to their Genjutsu skill, but their bloodline only awaken by doing something. And I heard that it can be awaken if you are nearly died as well. Same as Uchiha,"
That actually got my attention to perk up.
'Mata'.
That's Indonesian name. And 'Lima' as well.
Mata means eyes.
And Lima means five.
Were she the only one who transmigrate or was there more people? And more importantly who is the creator of Mata clan?
"Who is the creator of the Mata clan?" I then ask,
Zabuza then shrug.
"But I know who's the clan leader back then, If he's still alive though Mist is really unstable right now, But His name is Satu Mata," With that, my theory was close to the correct one.
Someone inside of the clan actually either know Indonesian, or just from my world!
"Oh, did they have name like Dua, Tiga, Empat and such?" I then ask Zabuza with an amused face.
Zabuza then look at me dead in the face.
"How do you know?"
I then answer with a laugh,
"Wait, are you like Yamanaka too?" Zabuza then ask with his eyebrow raised.
I then shake his head, "No, I can't go to your head and see your memories. It just- Hm, Funny I guess. The names," I then laugh.
Haku and Ami just tilt their head in confusion.
"Hey, the naming is from their Shaman. You better be not making fun your name lady," Zabuza then said,
Probably just joking.
But Shaman?
"Shaman?"
I then ask questionally,
"Yeah, The Mata clan is weird. It's because of the 'Ritual'" Zabuza then said.
"Wait, wait. How do you know so much about the Mata clan?"
I then ask something obvious.
"Well, they're well known in Mizu,"
"Terrifyingly well known," Haku then chip in,
I then raise my eyebrow at that.
"Alright, If they are well known. How the actual fuck did Suna manage to 'buy' me?"
Zabuza answer with a shrug.
"Don't ask me, the Mata known to have a Split Personality. That or just crazy," he then shudder.
With that answer.
It seems that I am not the only one that currently at this world.

8 191Blind Wastelands
[Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] (Support me on Patreon ) They say it was a war that blocked out the sun. They say it was poison bombs that reduced the land to rubble. The blind wastelands were what it was called now. Where there were once sprawling cities, farmlands, and crops that grew in the sun, sparkling waters that shone like diamonds, there was now darkness; a cloying, viscous darkness that filled men’s hearts with dread and sunk their bellies like stone. What remained of humanity scattered away from the darkness as much as they could, banding together in settlements lit with gas lamps and bonfires. A young man named Yunkef leaves his home at Settlement 41 to join a Scavenger team to bring back much-needed resources for his Settlement but finds there are much worse things in the darkness than just the beasts. He meets Lady Black.

"Give me my puppy!" I demanded, my eyes ablazed with fiery anger."Correction, it's not your puppy. It's our puppy," He smiled, but it was anything but sweet nor happy."You know what? Damn you! You're nothing but a cold, emotionless, and heartless bad boy!" I sneered, glaring at him fiercely.He chuckled at my words, taking a step closer to me. He slammed his hand unto the wall, trapping me, before leaning in close. "You got that right sweetheart but I think you got one thing wrong." He said, his eyes piercing straight into mine."And what is that?" I managed to asked, my throat seeming to get drier the more he looked at me."I'm neither one of those when I'm with you," and with those words, slammed his lips into mine.#1 in Strong-Female Character - 1/29/21#1 in Sarcasm - 2/4/21#2 in BadBoy - 2/13/21#3 in Teen Fiction - 2/13/21#1 in Mysterious - 3/4/21Copyrighted 2017.
