Noriko and Kuro. Chapter 1. The new members.
"these are your cloaks. They are the symbol that represents that you are members of the Akatsuki." said Pein holding 2 black cloaks with red clouds on them.
Noriko grabbed one, and gawked at it. "Oh~! It's so coolio! I like the clouds~!" she said. Noriko shoved it into kuro, her older twin sister, face. "Isn't it coolio kuro?"
"Yeah. It is cool." Kuro said pushing it away from her face. She purposely not using "coolio" not wanting to get her sister mad for using her word. Kuro patted Noriko on the head, and Noriko giggled. Kuro looked after her younger twin sister. Kuro wasn't sure about joining the Akatsuki, but her sister begged and begged, and Noriko might actually be safer as part of the Akatsuki with all the unique ninja in the group.
While Kuro remembered why they were joining the group, Noriko had been pulling on her cloak with a happy little grin on her face. "It fits perfectly Kuro!"
Snapped out of thought Kuro said, "Why wouldn't it fit Noriko?"
Noriko just smirked. She liked asking odd questions, or saying random things to get attention. Kuro was the only one who didn't get annoyed by it.
"Well, put your cloak on Kuro. Then ill direct you to your room." Pein said breaking the silence.
Kuro slipped into her cloak. The arms were a little too big. 'It's a little loose…' Kuro thought. She was calm on the outside but really she was insulted on how they thought she was a larger size then she is. "Ok. Lead the way if you may."
Pein nodded his head and opened the door to the Akatsuki's head quarters. Past door after door they went, and sometimes there was a partly open door (in which Noriko would peek into in curiosity). The group arrived in the living area, where a blonde person was watching T.V.
Noriko stared at the blonde and whispered to Pein. "Who is that?"
"That's Deidara. He's one of your teammates." Whispered back Pein.
'That's a boy?' Noriko thought. 'Well… I guess that isn't too weird.'
"Well. This way." Pein said going down a hallway past Deidara, who didn't notice the group. He stopped in front of a blue painted door. Pein was about to open his mouth to speak when-
"YAYZ~! You guys took my request for painting our room all blue~!" Yelled Noriko, clapping her hands in joy.
Pein smirked. "We will do anything to get new members, you know." He said opening the door to their room. It was a large room with 2 beds. One was on the right side of the room with red sheets and a red pillow. While on the opposite side next to a window was a teal blue bed with a black pillow. Outside the window you could see a lush forest with a small creek running through it.
Noriko jumped onto the teal bed and snuggled her face into the black pillow. "Oh~! This room is so perfect! This is definitely my bed kuro!" Announced Noriko from the pillow.
"I'm glad you like it. Now I must leave I got loads of paper work I need to fill out. And some other urgent business." Pein said before exiting the room.
"So, you like the room Noriko?" Kuro asked as she flung her black bag onto the bed, and Noriko's blue cat backpack next to Noriko's bed.
No reply. Kuro looked closer at Noriko and noticed that her body was sagged and her breathing was slow, but even. 'She fell asleep. Well, we did travel a long way to get here.' Kuro thought while taking Noriko's rubber band gently out of Noriko's hair.
Kuro jumped onto her bed with a sigh. She looked around the room to see if it was acceptable for her and her twin sister.
There was a large dresser at the end of Kuro's bed planted to the wall. It had 4 drawers. On the corner parallel to Kuro's bed was a work desk. 'Noriko will probably love to doodle there.' Kuro thought. Opposite of that a entertainment center with a large sized T.V with a DVD player. Between Kuro and Noriko's bed was a computer desk with a brand new Dell computer. Last of all under each bed were storage boxes made of clear plastic, and nightstands near the beds each with a mini lamp on them.
Oh, it was an acceptable room. In fact, they were spoiling her and her sister. Kuro's worries about the Akatsuki were melting away like snow.
She jumped off the bed and took a sharpie out of her cloaks pocket. She pulled out one of Noriko's storage boxes and labeled it "toys." She started stuffing all of Noriko's toys and etc in this box and moved on to the next one. After labeling and filling all the boxes ("toys", "books","video games and movies", and "art supplies"), she moved onto her own. Using 2 boxes for her books and having 2 extra boxes.
"Well, I don't have anything to put in those boxes yet. I guess." She said.
She began unpacking her and Noriko's Clothes (including Noriko's millions of hats) into the large dresser. After that kuro jumped onto her bed. She slipped out of one of her boxes and grabbed the book she was currently reading. "Joust" it was called.
She read the book. About 5 chapters, each 15-20 pages long, before she got tired and rubbed her eyes. Checking to see if Noriko was still asleep. She fell asleep with the pleasure of knowing her sister obviously loved being part of the Akatsuki.
