"No way" I shook my head vigorously. "Konan please don't do this to me…"
Konan was a friend of mine in the Akatsuki; I'd known her and Pein for years, eventually I'd been convinced on pain of torture, or my version of torture which would be being stuck in Konoha with all the smiling happy people and not being able to rip them to shreds…well I wouldn't mind giving that Hatake a run for his money, but still…it eventually got me to join.
I didn't have a partner, instead I helped the others and did solo missions regularly. I wasn't very good at waiting for my teammates, it wasn't my fault that I was always paired up with annoying, slow and unintelligent partners... I was naturally a solitary creature. I just couldn't stand idiotic chat, and really can you blame me?
"C'mon Ayu! I'll get Pein to make it an order!" I rolled my eyes – she only called me Ayu when she wanted something!
'Damn it!' I thought 'now I have to!' I sighed and nodded giving in. she pulled out the leader card; I had no choice…
Konan practically jumped for joy, grabbing my hand she dragged me to the living room, shoving me between 'Tobi' and Pein. She knew I couldn't run if I was between those two!
"YAY! KONAN-CHAN GOT AYUKI-CHAN TO PLAY!" I ground my teeth 'Tobi' could be a royal pain in the arse, of course I knew 'Tobi' was in fact Madara – but still sometimes I just wanted to smack that stupid mask off his face!
My hand twitched…I saw Madara, Konan and Pein flinch slightly. I was as strong as Madara, but smarter, not that I'd tell him that of course. Madara like me had an explosive temper and the last time we got into an argument we left a few massacres in our wake…
Madara and I had met when he was only five, I was and still am 26 and fully immortal. I had kept an eye on him, and helped him to start the Akatsuki – though I didn't join till a few years later…
Madara broke me out of my little flashback buy grabbing my hands and lacing his fingers with mine, squishing my knuckles-
"Hey Tobi?" I asked sweetly, by this time Konan and Pein were stiff and ready to push me away from him and fast.
"Yes Ayuki-chan?" he asked. I could just pick up the warning tone beneath his words. Daring me, just so tempting…
"Do me a favour and go get me something to drink would you?" Madara automatically squeezed my hand harder, trying to break a bone no doubt.
"Of-course Ayu-chan!" he stood up and ran to the kitchen, I loved the irony of it all, the great Madara Uchiha was getting me a drink like a good little servant.
"How'd you do that, un!" I looked at Deidara's disbelieving expression and smirked shrugging my shoulders. Madara came back glaring at me under his mask.
"here you go Ayu-chan! Tobi got you sake, because Tobi thinks you need to relax!" I glared at Madara as he smirked at me through the mask. I sniffed ignoring the muffled chuckles coming from around the room.
Konan then shoved a bowl in front of me as Madara sat back next to me, keeping a firm arm around my shoulders. A warning to co-operate and play nice no doubt. Madara may be 100 (and I much older) but he still held authority over me. Well. Just.
I sighed. "C'mon. Pick!" Konan practically screamed. I sighed again and reached into the bowl. This was ridiculous. We all knew how this was going to end; Madara was doing this for his own sick amusement he was seeing which of the members would sit and follow orders, he was testing obedience and in a way loyalty – in a pointless and crap way.
"I refuse to participate in something so stupid" a few eyebrows were raised around the room, the sullen expressions lifting to one of amusement. I had famously never given in to anything easily especially something as idiotic as this. I was a stubborn old woman and I liked it that way, it meant I got my own way, Madara be damned… (No pun intended)
Speaking of the power crazed shinobi he had just managed to put his arms around my waist and attempt to squeeze the life out of me…unfortunately for him I couldn't die from a crushed rib cage or suffocation, I was however in a hell of a lot of pain as my breasts were so tightly pressed against his chest that I was seriously worried I would be reduced by two cup sizes.
"OH AYU-CHAN! PLEASE PICK A NUMBER! TOBI WOULD BE SO HAPPY!" I along with everyone else I gave a deadpan look. "Pick a goddamned number Ayuki…" I raised an eyebrow, Madara never even dared to speak even in hushed whispers around the others in his actual voice – it was just too risky, so why the hell was he doing it now over some foolish game? Something was off; the little prick was planning something! But what? Was it worth picking a number to find out? No, no it wasn't.
As soon as Madara put me down I legged it out the room rushing towards my room as fast as my legs would carry me, which was 0.5 of a second, praising the heavens (or in my case hell) for my unmatched speed. When I reached my room I grabbed a back pack, and persisted to throw in anything and everything I might need for a few days away. Then, with all the grace I had acquired of centuries of living, I jumped out the window.
