When Lily got free time she would attempt to steal Hidan's book and read it or annoy him so much that he spills a little more about his religion to her, in-between this she found Tobi had hidden himself and got stuck needing some help getting out, after that rather -awkward- situation she heads back to the room to see him still praying to her satisfaction. This meant she would get some peace and quiet for a little longer without him yelling insanity's or fighting with Kakuzu, she never got that kind of silence unless the masochistic nuisance went out on missions for a couple of weeks but lately he hadn't been assigned any which was probably due to something Stacy had done.

In the kitchen Lily makes everyone some snacks and then goes in to the living room to relax on the sofa, she hadn't gotten very close to anyone just yet because they were always busy. To the lavender eye's luck she could always rely on Sasori to speak to her about puppets and swap battle plans and designs to each other, the red devil in thought was sitting at a table with music in the background and as usual he had some kind of puppet item in hand and a poison concoction not 2 millimetres from that either.

"hi Sasori-danna" the violet eyed girl smiles sitting down with her arms crossed to watch him work, he only grunts and doesn't shift his brown eyes from the wooden parts to look up, lately Lily had reverted to calling him 'danna' because, much like Deidara, he was someone to look up to when it came to art. For that matter he was someone who was very mastered in the line of puppets and was also one him self.

However he would never believe her when she told him she could hear puppets speaking, even after Lily was able to name off and tell him his puppets secrets without him even uttering a word. He only put it down to dumb luck or the fact that the girl had researched up on him or perhaps stalked the smaller man, after a while Lily had given up and stopped arguing over the voices she could plainly hear from every puppet around her.

Watching happily with that same curious smile Akasuna finally glances up emotionlessly to look at Lily's eyes shifting to watch his nimble hands with great detail and awe at all times contently, Sasori had at one time actually commented he preferred her company to anyone else's because when it came to talking she only spoke when it was needed or something valid came into her mind to question him with and when he answered she would always gasp or widen her eyes in amazement of his vast knowledge.

"Sasori-danna, who's your favourite puppet? I personally like the 3rd" Lily smiles looking up at his cold eyes but she never saw them as cold, in-fact compared to Sasha she had never said anything about anyone's appearances or personalities, not even Kisame for having gills; whom Sasha squeaked the entire sharks statement from 'Finding Nemo', not even Hidan's stupid religion was questioned by her.

"I don't have a favourite, all my puppets are good in their own ways" as he expected there was a gasp of glee from the young woman who smiles brightly but never takes her eyes from his fingers.
"I think that's a great answer, it means you care a lot for each individual puppet you create" she giggles as if the question was a trick to see where his wooden Kanji sealed heart lay, he smirks slightly at this murmuring under his breath to try sound annoyed by her constant cocky attitude.

"I was wondering if you would like to see a new design I made for a puppet weapon?" Lily questions with a small blink as Sasori only nods waiting for the usual 'pull the book out of thin air' trick to be done which only took a moment, it wasn't hard to actually calculate everything she was going to do when it came to puppet talk the only difference was her designs that got more intricate the more she showed him the plans.

This time on her page she pointed out a special gun like dart hidden inside the mouth that spat out a long sticky tongue like thing that would either wrap around several targets or punch a single with the ball of the tip sending them hurtling through the air like a ping-pong ball. If it wasn't something else he had noticed it was that with everything she made it had some kind of link to an animal, she seemed fascinated by them greatly. There had been a seal plan that would turn it invisible to the naked eye making it the perfect spy or assassin for a group of people in a city or room, the Akasuna smirks at the plan nodding in approval before pointing out flaws in the puppet that she would always gasp or gape at then say…

"you're right, that would make it so much faster and lighter on its feet. Those wolf controlling clans wouldn't know what hit them" she giggles concocting a sinisterly devious smile that always made Sasori stare, for someone who was -apparently- weak yet very friendly she had inner demons that, if let out at the right times, could make her look very scary or at this point in time devious but endearing.

"do you have any new poisons that need tested?" she would always ask this question and it worried him to no end, if of course that was what he felt for her when she offered to test his substances, it seemed as if the female seamstress enjoyed having the chemicals used upon her but he never complained and nor did Hidan or Deidara for getting a break from being stabbed with mysterious needles with god knows what in them.

"not at the moment, no" he replies seeming out of track while testing if the puppet piece worked as it should, nodding she smiled again before getting up carefully so as not to bump the table and leaves quietly just how he liked it. Unlike everyone else who would either voice their next move to leave and bash the table and chairs as they go, Lily would leave without a word to him.

Down the dim hallway she stepped foot into the gardens to see Tobi bounding about with Zetsu, the plant nin always looked forward to the young maidens visits as she always brought him something. This time it was a wooden bamboo water tipper for his small Koi pond and for Tobi she had brought him a packet of sunflower seeds to make himself busy with, Lily never said anything about either of their behaviours because she had never taken the time to notice their differences. When she had first met Zetsu's multi-personality she said nothing and only replied to the dark side as if it where two people talking to her at once.

"how are you today Zetsu-sama's?" her delicate voice asks walking beside him, something else he liked. She would refer to both of them as individuals but not in a bad way, she felt both voices had their own minds even if they thought the same but voiced two different opinions of the idea.
"we're fine, Lily-san" the bi polar male replies as she smiles and glances at the now open flowers.
"new plants I see, as pretty as always. You know you should have your own gardening program" she giggles shifting the hair from her face to part it behind her ear, Zetsu only shakes his head shyly while the darker side grins at the thought.
"what about you Tobi-sama?" the lavender eyed girl called over giggling slightly at him as he sat with mud all over himself trying to plant simple seeds in the sunlight.
"Tobi is fine" the orange swirl called with a cheery attitude as always still trying to get the seeds into the simple soil.
"that's good to know, it's really hot out here today. Is there anything I can help you with Zetsu-sama's? Tobi-sama?" she requests glancing between them hoping to find something to do but to her disappointment they shake their heads in unisons.

"we're fine for now, thank you Lily-san" both Akatsuki watch her bow contently with a smile and perform a small wave goodbye before she would go inside again, pacing around the inside of the base she glances round with a bored expression. Sneaking to the library and poking her head in she smiles seeing books all strewn around the tables and the room was empty, perfect place to clean when bored.

Lily walked inside while picking up the paper-backs and glancing over the covers before filing them away, after that she peers round and smirks as she climbs up a ladder and kicks it away from the shelves using it to walk around the floor like tall stilts while laughing in amusement. Attempting a new trick she starts to bunny hop upon the ladder to the other end where she shuffles through the books with a grin, hopping across again she pauses to see Itachi watching her from below. Giving another smile she shoots down the ladder landing at the bottom and clutches the ladder without it moving an inch from its place.

"good afternoon, Itachi-sama" she politely bows her head at the young teen hiding behind his cloak collar that sat open at a tilt, her eyes go from the fish net top to the ladder. "want a go? It's really fun" she giggles but he only shakes his head watching her prop the ladder to another wall and climb back up, throwing a book down he catches it without much work and looks at it.

As usual she chose just the right novel he wanted to read without even asking him, a smile upon her face again without a single hinder when she stares right into the red sharingan's path. "it's a good book, once you finish that one you should read 'Ashes to dust'. Also a very interesting book for its fighting and stuff, maybe learn a few fighting moves from it" she laughs half heartedly before scanning the room and starting to leave knowing full well Itachi likes to be left alone to read, she had only left for a few moments before bringing him tea to drink and a single Dango, how she knew he would want one was beyond the Uchiha, even with his fast and calculated mind.

Heading to the old zombie bedroom she had decided to go see Kakuzu because he was always someone to talk to and she needed herself checked over anyway, it hadn't been until a couple of days before that she had been having difficulty with her breathing. How ever when she went in his booming voice was having an argument with Stacy, a large cut right down his arm that made the seamstress slightly on edge. The miser was never the best of people to be near when he was so angry and because she wasn't an experienced fighter if he was to turn on her then she wouldn't stand a chance.

Elusive green eyes from both of them turn and scowl at the innocent enough lavender pair that seem to shake slightly and back off, Stacy storms right out the door pushing Lily against the door frame as she goes. Without a word Lily creeps closer to the enraged male who in turn stands up to tower over her, Lily's scared expression shifts to the his arm and then fades to a stern stare right at his green eyes without flinching at all when his hand raises up fast towards her. Putting up a small and pale hand she swiftly stops the hand and then scowls fiercer at him.

"it'll get infected if you leave it" she mumbles starting to fidget with a small bag on her hip, before the zombie leader could say anything he finds him self pushed over onto the seat with her kneeling beside his lap getting a cloth ready. "just hold still Kakuzu-sama" she begins holding up the wet cloth only to have him fidget and shift his arm until she lunges right at him placing the cloth on, wincing when he gives a feral snarl of anger and pain at the stinging sensation.

"that hurts!" he snaps glaring at her as his bellowing voice makes a passing bomber jump and peer in nervously at the two of them followed by Stacy and Sasori who curiously lean in to listen.

"if you would sit still it wouldn't hurt as much!" she retorts loudly with an annoyed expression that Kakuzu scowls at angrily looking about ready to kill her.
"if Stacy hadn't said anything to me then none of this would of happened!" he snarls as she leans back to sit on her feet and sigh, arms crossed in a fighting position.
"if you hadn't acted like that to her then she wouldn't have attacked you!" Lily bitterly snaps making the room echo with feminine angst, Hidan had stepped forth from his ritual covered in blood and heard the commotion that now everyone was interested in. Waiting patiently to see if the miser would flip from the shouting from the smaller and much weaker female, Kakuzu opens his mouth to yell but shuts it unsure that he has anything he can say.

"well she shouldn't have been in my room in the first place!" the miser snaps making some people wince except the very courageous Lily now standing with the wet cloth and a cocky expression.
"well you should learn how to control your temper!" her voice echo's making the miser actually for once move back in his seat, everyone rather surprised yet not surprised of her deadly tongue. "good now hold still will you" she mumbles starting to dab the wounds with hot water making him growl again but this time he grips the seat and grits his teeth in frustration, standing up she smiles bringing forth the innocent smile again that seemed to cover up her 'other side'.

"you can stitch up the cuts on your own, why was I here anyway…ah my breath hasn't been very good. I can barely take enough…air…in" she grips her head and starts to sway before being caught in the miser's arms to sits her on the bed Hidan would have moved if he was still in the room.
"I think you're the one who needs to watch their temper, you'll kill your self if you don't…" he mumbles checking her heart beat and chakra levels which where at about 79% of their normal hold. "how long you think I have left?" Lily mumbles glancing at the floor Kakuzu glances at the ceiling instead them seems to calculate casually to him self before replying sternly.

"I would say about 2 days or so" her lavender eyes seem to dim then brighten again as she nods and gets back up happily.
"then I better take care in my last 2 days unless I want to speed my death up" she laughs half heartedly stepping away from the room and glancing at the eyes watching her with a cheery smile before leaving to go down the hall humming 'don't worry be happy' in tune to herself happily.
Stacy runs in with a few others glaring at the miser as he glances at them with a confused expression. "why didn't you tell us Lily only had two days left?!" she spits angrily as Kakuzu's green eyes seem to shift from confusion to a sly expression.
"I didn't feel it concerned you how many days she had…" his voice calm and collective while Hidan stands at the side lines seeming very shifty throughout the conversation.

"lets make her last days good then" Stacy yelps dragging Deidara away to plan their next base of action while the albino slowly followed behind cursing under his breath about something, meanwhile Lily had taken refuge on the living room couch watching a cooking program when the lively Tobi jumps in and takes a seat next to her.
"Lily-san can Tobi ask you something?" defiantly he could ask Lily anything and know full well that she would not laugh or say anything to hurt his feelings, unless of course he were to rub her fur the wrong way too many times.
"sure, Tobi-sama" her lavender eye's shift from the T.V screen to glance at his orange swirl mask.
"Tobi is bored, could you read him a story?" his childish voice squeaks anxiously as she raises a brow and smirks smuggly at the request until it goes flat and into a world of thought.
"anything in particular?" her feminine voice enquires only sighing when he shakes his head.
"people have been being mean to Tobi…Tobi is sad" he adds as she blinks and then grins faintly at the thought coming to her head telling the missing nin that she had thought up a story.
"okay then, I have a story for you Tobi-sama" she begins as he shuffles in his seat to get closer out of curiosity, she hums slightly then turns to him with her finger raised.

"There was once a bear and he was ever so sad but a little boy would come down to cheer him up" Tobi nods and shifts ever so closer. "On Monday he brought the sad bear the brightest flower he could find but the bear was not impressed and said "it will just wilt and fade" and with that he sighed" Tobi gives a sad little sound to this before letting her continue.
"On Tuesday he baked him a cake with a cherry on top but the bear just looked at it and said "once I eat it there will be nothing left" he complained" Tobi gives an annoyed mutter at the selfish bear before being silenced again.

"On Wednesday he tried to read his favourite book but he shook his head. "you'll get to the end too quickly" he sighed but the young boy just laughed and said. "once we've finished it we can read it again" the bear is silent for a moment "but then I'll already know what happens" the bear says shaking his head in sorrow" Lily pouts making Tobi shift again and laugh at the silly face, he really was like a 5 year old.

"On Thursday he brought the bear a game to play but the bear turned his back on the boy and bowed his head. "I'll only end up losing" he whispered and with that the boy gave the large brown bear a sigh and turned away also to leave quietly" Tobi 'awws' at this and sounds about ready to cry but Lily pats him on the shoulder with a smile.

"However on Friday the bear asked "what have you brought me today?" he questioned watching the small child come towards him. "I love you" the little boy replied and hugged the big, sad bear" Lily shifts on the sofa and gives Tobi a tight cuddle and whispers knowing full well Tobi was in fact happy. "The bear smiled" she giggled as Tobi squeezed back but not too hard because of her still healing wounds.
"thank you Lily-san! Tobi feels much better" the boy chirps suddenly bounding away out the door and with that the young puppeteer turned her attentions back to the T.V.
