AN: I'm on a roll today. Happy 4th of July:

The Dead List

By Lavonia

"Got any aces?"

"Go fish!" The Hokage smiled slyly as Zabuza grudgingly drew a card. "Got any aces?"

"You stacked the deck old man!" Zabuza roared as he threw the card at the ex-Hokage. The man managed to dodge the deadly objectile which embedded itself into the back of his chair. "Forget this!" He quickly stomped away and left the grinning old man to collect the wildly thrown cards.

Since the two new arrivals had come, the town had grown. The road seemed to spiral around and jut out at some places as if it was waiting for people to die so it would make more houses. There was also a gym, a large hall, a park and a swimming pool set up around The Center where the door would appear when people died. The little town feeling began to irk Zabuza who preferred a quieter lifestyle.

His problems were only going to become worse.

One day, the door appeared again. The inhabitants of the small village, Zabuza, Haku, Hayate and Sandaime, gathered around the outside of the barrier that went around the door and watched as it slowly opened up.

"FUCK NO! YOU PIECE OF SHIT! LET GO OF ME!" A woman screamed and something small was thrown right through the barrier and Zabuza narrowly avoided the cursing projectile.

It was closely followed by four more strange people. One was a large guy with weird tuffs of hair sticking out of his hair. He fell flat on his ass while a set of twins stumbled out. The last who fell out was a guy with many arms who wore a dark scowl on his face.

"Have a nice time." The blond Hokage said sweetly from inside the doorway. "AND YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH YOUNG LADY!"

"FUCK YOU!"

And the door slammed closed.

The group groaned as it slowly got up. The small person who had been thrown was heavily cursing the Hokage as she dusted off her pants. Zabuza watched her with raised eyebrows and wondered how somebody so small could have a mouth so big.

"What the hell are you looking at you piece of shit?"

"Your ugly mug. It's so hideous I couldn't look away, except maybe to puke." He quickly countered.

"Well screw you jackass." She snapped and joined her friends.

Zabuza stood there and scratched the back of his head. "How the hell could somebody like that have and affect on that that brat Naruto's life?" He sighed and went back towards his house, only to discover he had a new next door neighbor.

"Hell no." He heard her shriek when he came into sight. "I'm not living next to that bitch! Trade with me Fatso!"

"No. And watch your language."

"Shut up Jiroubou." She yelled and walked into her new home, slamming the door behind her.

The fat guy walked up to Zabuza. "Sorry about her. She's an annoying little wench."

"Why did you put her in that house?" The Mist ninja asked out of curiosity.

"Because none of us wanted to live next to her." The larger guy replied.

"Thanks a shit load." Zabuza muttered.

"With a mouth like that, the two of you will get along well."

There was an awkward silence for a moment before a bright light shone from the center and the door appeared again. A teenager with white hair stepped out of the portal while talking with the blond Hokage who gave him a cheerful farewell before nicely closing the door.

Jiroubou walked over to greet him. "It took you long enough to get here."

"I shouldn't be here in the first place. My body should have been a vessel for Lord Orochimaru." The white haired guy sighed, but shrugged it off and walked to the newest house.

From another house came the sounds of arguing.

"You two share a fucking body! Give me your extra house!"

"We aren't sharing anymore. The both of us couldn't reach an agreement."

"He wanted oak cabinets in his kitchen but I wanted cherry, so we both decided to go our separate ways."

"You are both shit heads!" Then the red head went back to her house.

Haku poked his head out of the kitchen window of his house and looked over at Zabuza. "Want to come over for dinner?"

"Nah, I have some stew cooking at my house. Maybe tomorrow." He replied.

"We have to cook for ourselves?" The spider-like teenager whined. "Being dead sucks!"

AN: My first note is to review please. I really, really appreciate those who do.

My second note is that I'm going out of the country for a trip this Saturday so I won't be able to update until after July 18th. Please be patient when I'm gone. I'll try to do a little brainstorming during my trip.
