Prologue-"Bro, Where is My Package?"
"Oi vay!" I yell out collapsing on the couch in my living room. Dropping my bag onto the other half of the couch, I reach for the remote to turn on the TV. School, another long day like always. 2college classes, one AP, 2 Pre-AP as well. Plus my AVID, a college preparatory class. Only easy class is Nutrition and Wellness. Then Theatre Arts, which is harder than I thought, still fun though.
Oh, I haven't introduced myself. How silly of me. My name is Rayne (pronounced rain). I am a third year in high school. I am a big otaku, just so you know, I use Japanese anime terms at times. For those that didn't get it. I am a Junior or 11th grader. Get it now? Moving on! I am 5'0".Yes, I am incredibly short. I am also 16 and getting my license soon, whoop!
Right now, I am currently by myself. My family had to go over seas for settling things in one of my great grandparents will. Took a long time to convince then to let me be by myself. They are super paranoid of me, but over the summer they trusted me with a student ambassador group over seas. If I can be trusted half way around the world then I can be trusted home alone for a few months. They left a couple days ago but finally agreed as long as my sister and brothers check on me once in awhile. Which is fine with me, they know I am no trouble.
Bit more about me-I like to draw but it's not that great. I often do origami and want to try sculpting. What I mainly do is writing. I love to read and write. I write mostly short stories, fan fics or poems. Working on a novel. Hopefully it goes good.
Anyways, I am waiting on my brother. He had borrowed a lot of money from me from when he was in high school. He is supposed to send it over via UPS. I wasn't sure about mailing money but as long as no one but us know money is in there it should be fine. You guys don't know how much he managed to borrow from me...wanna guess?

$2,345
No joke, that's how much he "borrowed" from me in 4 years. Nice, huh? Well he really stole it from me, which is why I keep my money everywhere with me now. I know it was that much because I kept track with mine and notice when it is missing.
Well I am waiting right now for the mailman to come. I turn on our Blue-Ray player and scroll down to Netflix. I go to the instant queue and look for the animes I am planning to watch. I have a lot of choices so I pick some, put in instant then after I finish it, I delete and add new ones.
It took me awhile and I decided on watching "Ah! My Goddess" as the next anime to watch. It is kinda weird when I first start watching it. By the third episode I am hooked!
I hear the doorbell ring and I get up to see who it was. "who is it?" I call before I open the door. "UPS." the guy replies. "Just a minute." I say then I, with my ninja skills, quick and silent. Goes to my room and check at the bottom part of my window. Being covered by the bushes I was checking to be sure the UPS truck was indeed in the front. I head back to the front door and open it.
"Sign here please." he says as he hands me the electronic signature device. I wrote down my signature and handed it back as he handed me a package. "What was your last name?" he asked. I hate that mandatory question. "Haiyen" (pronounced hi-in) I replied before closing the door.
I move the box to the center of the living room floor. It looked to big to be holding money, yet it wasn't too heavy. Was this a prank or something? I reach for my Swiss Card.

( it is like a Swiss knife but is shapped like a card.) and take the letter opener to cut off the tape.
I pulled back the box flaps seeing a bunch of styrofoam peanuts. I take some out and reach to feel something soft. I pull it out seeing...
"Oh my Goddess, Deidara!" I gasps as I hug him. I decided instead of saying my god or my goodness, I decided to say oh my goddess thanks to the anime. I reach in to see more of the Akatsuki members.
I pull them out and put then in two rows, each facing their partner.
Let's see:
Deidara-Sasori
Kisame-Itachi
Kakuzu-Hidan
Konan- Pein (Pain but I prefer using 'e' instead of 'a'.)
Tobi-Zetsu

"Maybe he put these here to hide the money at the bottom. That's it." I spoke aloud as I dump the rest out onto the floor. Wooden miniature house pieces fall out of the box along with the foam peanuts. "That is it?" I ask wondering why there wasn't any money. I started putting the styrofoam pieces back in the box seeing miniature furniture in the mess.
"Well, Alec knows that I had always wanted to make one of these houses but our parents never let me. Given the plushies, miniature house plus the furniture, it could add up to about $2,000." I say to myself as I notice the instructions to build the house. I bring all of the pieces to my brothers old room, which has become the spare storage room/ work area. I put the pieces all down in a pile near the wall closest to the door.
Slowly but surely I managed to get the Federal Manor up into life. Then I started adding in the furniture like the beds, chairs, tables, etc. I even had some real working lights and miniature full functioning kitchen and bathroom. Cool, huh?

I looked at my watch to see that the building took me about 7 straight hours. "Wow, didn't notice how late it got." I sighed as I began stretching before standing up. I was about to walk out when I heard something crunch beneath my feet. I look down seeing another piece of paper. "Was this part of the instructions?" I bend down to read:
Stilled Reanimation: Stage 1
Hand signs: Rabbit-Ox-Tiger-Boar-Snake
{ albums/ac60/StarxOfxThexCosmos/?action=view¤t= }
I had said the words aloud and copied the hand signs.
At first I don't notice anything and turned to leave. Before I turned the corner back to the living room I thought I heard something. You see I have an "over-reactive imagination" as my dad says. I say its my paranoia my mother instilled into me. I cautiously peer over the wall to see nothing. I sighed in relieve that nothing was there. I head back to sit on the couch and watch tv.
I started watching "Ridiculousness" on MTV. I started laughing uncontrollably from the hilarity this show gives me. Rob Dyrdek (deer-deck) is really funny. After an episode I noticed the Akatsuki plushies were not in front of the tv anymore. "Maybe I moved them." I stated since I could of easily forgotten. I get up to see where I could of moved them. I walk around the coffee table,just in case, and didn't see them. I head to the kitchen to get a something to eat before I continued my search.
I warm up some left over pizza I ordered a couple days ago. I heat it up and watched more Ridiculousness while I wait for it to finish. After hearing the microwave beep, I take the plate out and sit at the kitchen table to eat. As I dip my pizza into ranch (very yummy!) and take a bite I felt something on my leg. I use my foot to brush it off thinking it was just a itch. Then I felt it again. I pull back my chair to look under the table.
I stared gaping at what was before me.
Hidan...of the Akatsuki...in plush form...attached to my leg...trying to...hit me? I tilted my head seeing his little fist pounding onto my ankle to no effect, it actually tickled a bit.
Then it hit me..."AHHHH!CHUCKIE!" I screamed and kicked Hidan off of my leg and all the way to the living room wall above the tv. I heard him hit the wall with a light "thud". "Ow, fucking bitch." I heard him groan/yell across the room. I look down under the table to see the rest of the plushie gang.
Kakuzu, Kisame and Deidara snickering. Tobi being random trying to climb the chair legs. Sasori, Itachi, and Zetsu look disinterested. Pein and Konan started back at me saying nothing. I sit up seeing Hidan making his way back to the kitchen. I look up hearing our Cuckoo clock Cuckoo eleven times. I sighed 11 O' clock. Good thing it is Friday, cause this will be a long night.
My only thought:" Plushies are supposed to be cute, not killer."
