Chibi in a Box Chapter 2

What to do with confused phycos

Ashton POV

It was supposed to be a nice day. I was going to receive a lovely breakfast from Serenity and get to the gym to practise some boxing. It truly was supposed to be a relaxing and fun day with my favorite people. But no! I get knocked out by some tiny weirdo, I think. That or I'm insane.

I had a terrible headache, it felt like I was hit with a sledge hammer in the head, with spikes. I slowly opened my eyes to see Serenity hanging over me with a goofy grin. "What is wrong with you," I sighed pushing her off me. Serenity grinned wider though. "Agh, go get me some pain killers, my heads hurts so badly. The last thing I remember was-"

"Pein killer?"

I looked at the end of the couch to see little people. That was most likely what I saw earlier. They were the... Akatsuki.

"What's up with her hmm?" the blonde asked.

Serenity gestured over to me then sighed. "She's containing her self not to scream," Serenity said calmly. Too calmly.

"I- is that wh- who I think- they, may- it is?" I stuttered out with wide eyes. I observed the midgets with skeptical eyes. This was truly an impossible feats.

"Apparently, that's who they claim to be," June sighed quietly looking away from everything, but before she could add anything else she flew to the other side of the room and hit the wall with a loud thud. Her body slowly sunk to the floor and she moaned in pain. I looked around to see what happened and I saw Pein and the rest wide awake. Pein's hand was outstretched and his face was all business. His demeanor told me loud and clear that he was the boss here and not me.

Anger over took me. I was in charge! Not him! Seeing June hurt was like gasoline to a fire as well. As I watched June slowly stand up as she gripped her hand made me want to throw something a Pein.

June bowed her arms back and puffed out her chest. "What heck was that for!" June screamed as she regained her balance. June was red in the face and the side of her head was red as well, but only from the harsh contact.

Pein gave her a dark look and began to slowly walk towards her. His ringed eyes glanced around the room before they finally settled on June once again. I could tell he was nervous. He was thrown in a situation that wasn't controllable. "Where are we and what happened to us!" Pein yelled angrily. He waved his hand for June to come closer and she magically was pulled forward by his gravitational abilities.

June gave him a flat stare. "You're on the moon genius," June replied rolling her eyes, stomping her foot on the ground towards him. Pein looked at her with another look that implied he was the boss, he was in charge.

"Stop playing games child, where are we?" he demanded clenching his fists.

June let out a long and suffering sigh before gesturing to the floor then the ceiling. "You're in our house. Satisfied," June stated. She was trying to annoy him, trying to get on his nerve. I don't know why she would do such a thing but it was working.

"My patience is running thin, where are we!" he yelled in a tone that could make any child cry. Pein's eye twitched and a low growl formed in his throat like he was some sort of wild animal. The others started to congregate behind him quietly and spectate the scene.

I walked to June and pushed her back. "June, stop messing with him," I ordered quiet. I put my hands on her shoulders and gave her a pleading look. I didn't want her to get hurt by Pein again. I knew she didn't care weather she was hurt or not, she only cared for Serenity and I. But I wanted her to care for her well being for once.

June rolled her eyes with a sigh. "Your word is law majesty," she sneered, she looks up at me with bored eyes. She squared her shoulders and pushed passed me. "You're in Wisconsin right now." Pein raised his brow with confusion. "You know like United States of America, North America- Southern Hemisphere." He looked at June as if she was speaking a foreign language. "Earth, our solar system-"

"MILKEY WAY GALAXY!" Serenity shouted, exasperated that they didn't know any of these common words. She sat down on the ground with her legs crossed. "The milky way galaxy is the galaxy i which we live in by the way."

Kisame groaned and tried to find the correct words to use in this situation. He looked to his partner for some sort of sign before he slapped his palm to his forehead. "What village are we in kid!" Kisame yelled as he gestured around the room, just as exasperated as Serenity.

"We're not in a village gosh darn it!" Serenity yelled stomping her hand down childishly. Her cheeks puffed out as she turned a light shade of pink from her pent up stress.

"Then where are we, hmm?" Deidara questioned as he fiddled with a wad of clay. His fingered pressed into it and kneaded it like bread dough. His eyebrow quirked upwards as he kneaded the clay. "Where are we?" he repeated, but this time he looked less than amused.

Serenity scooted towards him and huffed. "We just told you!" Serenity yelled approaching him. She set her chin on the table and look him over suspiciously. "I hope you're not planning to blow me up with that clan..." she drawled. Deidara smirked and put the clay behind his back but continued to play with it.

"Quiet!" Pein commanded, he then turned around and quietly talked to the beautiful blue haired woman behind him. Silence engulfed the room. There wasn't a single noise except for Serenity sneezing loudly. I glared at her as she covered her mouth to keep another sneeze from escaping.

Konan gave Pein a nod beofre he turned around to face us again. He put his hands together and straightened himself. "We shall discuss how we traveled here, but only if you cooperate with us," Pein commanded with his ringed eyes beaming at June.

June scoffed in return. "What do you mean 'cooperate'?" June asked resting a hand on her hip. "Yeah well 'cooperate' only if you 'cooperate' too," she said quoting with her fingers.

"Very well, we shall discuss this," Pein sighed slightly bowing his head.

Serenity stiffened at the tense atmosphere. She awkwardly gestured to the kitchen and started to scoot away. "I'll go finish breakfast," Serenity added, standing up and rushing off to the kitchen.

June's POV

Serenity made delicious omelets for everyone. She cut paper plates into small plates for the Akatsuki and made them small omelets. Though I will admit a number of the members could eat a whole omelet, namely Kisame, Hidan, Deidara and Zetsu. I did see Sasori eat as well, but because of his inability to each food I assumed he was being polite, if he was capable of such a thing.

"So.." Ashton drawled as she scanned the room with skeptical eyes. "How'd ya'll get in here?" Ashton asked propping herself up with a pillow.

"We were in our stronghold trying a new jutsu," Pein stated as he adjusted himself on his new found seat, which would be a small pillow Serenity found.

"What jutsu?" Ashton asked sticking her nose in the air as if she were a prestige aristocrat interrogating a thief that invaded her home. Ash is anything but that. She's straight forward and ready to get messy.

"I will not take an attitude from you child, but if you must know; long distance teleportation," he stated.

I looked down to the plate of food Pein was handed to see it was untouched. "Pein, the foods not poison," I sighed.

"And how would I know that?" he questioned back. I wanted to compliment him out loud for being so cautious, I wouldn't eat anything that giants gave me either, I didn't blame the man. This situation was different though, we were trying to build some kind of foundation of trust and that wasn't going to work if he rejected our food.

"Because if Serenity really wanted to hurt you she would have done it the second she saw you," I reasoned. I do admit that response was not my best but Pein was a man of harsh words. He gave them and needed to receive them in order to get whatever he was trying to comprehend. The Akatsuki stared at me as if my head was cut off and Ashton and Serenity snickered in the background, both covering their mouths.

"Excuse these two," I sighed while getting up. I went over to the two troublesome cousins to only smack them both over the heads. The two ducked and covered their heads with quiet complaints. I ignored their murmurs and continued. "But as I was saying, you can eat the food." Pein nodded his head and took a bite.

Serenity threw her hands into the air. "Victory!" Serenity cheered to herself. "What do you think just enough, cheese and meat?" she asked with a wide grin.

Ignoring her, Pein continued or conversation. "My turn to ask questions. Where are we?"

"Wisconsin, Waterford," I stated.

Konan stepped to stand next to Pein. "What headband does your ninja wear?" she asked. For someone thrown into a mess like this she looked beautifully calm. She wore eye shadow and lipstick as if she was heading to a dinner at a fancy restaurant. I admired her ability to look so clam and controlled all while looking stunning.

"We don't have ninja," I answered making eye contact with the paper angel.

"Then how do you get military protection?" Kakazu asked, finally interested in the conversation and not the rest of the room. I wondered if he was eyeing the worth of each possession in the room or simply fascinated.

"We have bombs that's can blow up entire cities or really small countries. And tanks that roll in and shoot every thing with little metal bullets with huge guns and-" Serenity cut herself off, realizing she was getting to into her dramatization. "The whole world does not have ninja," she answered simply. "My turn to ask a question, why are you guys so small." Serenity said, "Like your so small I could hug you to death."

"Good question woman," Hidan looked to his leader for any kind of answer, "why are we so small leader!" Hidan yelled shaking his small fist in the air.

"Hidan, even I don't have an answer for that," Pein stated as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I have a question for you if you'd allow me to speak." I turned my attention to Itachi and so did everyone else. Pein nodded his head, allowing Itachi to put his input in the conversation. "How do you know of us?" Itachi asked, the hint of curiosity in his voice going unnoticed to everyone except me.

My eyes widened. Ash, Serenity, and I knew what we got ourselves into. At that moment I regretted getting that box from the front door. If only I never went to get it I would never be in this situation!-

"Umm, would you believe me if we're said were physic?" Ash asked as she awkwardly gestured to them.

"Itachi explain why they would?" Pein asked.

Itachi replied, "Before we introduced ourselves properly, you," Itachi gestured to me,"the blond woman said my name and the tallest of them yelled, "They're the Akatsuki." Why do they know of us if this world does not have ninjas?"

Tobi scratched the back of his head in confusion then nodded in agreement. "Tobi thought the organization was supposed to be secret?" he exclaimed.

Pein glared at me. "Yes, it is supposed to be, so how do you know of us?" Pein asked, annoyance seething through his persona.

"This is going to sound insane to you all. Well, you see, there's a manga which I presume you know what that is, of a boy named Naruto and his adventures of trying to becoming hokage..." Ashton started off

Hidan glared at Ashton and tapped his foot rapidly before he exploded. "So you're telling me that were a freaking anime and manga? Our lives are documented for the entertainment of idiotic viewer! People literally stalk us and know almost everything there is to know about us? I don't believe it, that's bull crap!" Hidan yelled angrily.

"Anti Naruto fan. It's believe it not don't believe it," Serenity rephrased with a mutter.

"Oh just you wait till I'm normal again! I'll sacrifice you to Jashin-sama!" he yelled back as he stomped his foot on the ground. The man was seething and ready to harm one of us. I hoped Serenity would back down, she is usually very kind, but I do not know what came over her.

Serenity glared at the man. "Jashin probably likes me more than you anyways!" Serenity yelled back, sticking her tongue out.

"Oh you little-" Hidan was cut off by Konan.

"We do not know your names, but you know ours, would you introduce yourselves?" I looked over to Konan, already anticipating her next action. To be honest she was very pretty to me. Even in the anime I marveled at her design. h

"Oh yeah! I am the one and only Serenity Soothe," the Latin announced proudly as she pointed to herself.

Ashton bumped into Serenity and flipped her hair comically. "I'm the amazing, stunning, gorgeous, Ashton Coal but you can call me Ash. I'm the idiot's cousin too."

I trudged to the side of the two. "I'm June Summers, 'Mother' of these two and also a very close childhood friend," I introduced.

Pein nodded his head. "It is nice to meet you then; Ashton Coal, Serenity Soothe, June Summers. I want to learn more about your world if we are to be stranded here for quite some time," Pein said, though I knew the polite toe was a command in disguise..

"Sure, I volunteer Ashton to teach you," Serenity laughed, pointing to Ash.

Ashton shrugged her shoulders. "Sure why not. I'll take care of Pein, Konan, Zetsu, and Tobi. Serenity you take... Hidan, Deidara and Kisame and goof off somewhere. June will take Itachi, Sasori, and Kakazu. Okay?" she instructed pointing to each group.

Pein nodded in agreement to Ashton's instructions. This was going to be fun. (Note the sarcasm in my voice)

Ashton's POV

I looked over at Tobi and glared. I really knew, I wasn't the only one. Disguise himself as Madara and disguise himself as Tobi. Tobi reveals himself to be Madara and then turns out Madara is Obito. Yeah, I knew. Dumb if you ask me and confusing.

"Tobi come here for a minute." I said. He came closer and asked "What is it Ashton-chan?"

"Drop the act i know who really are, Ma. Dar. A." I said teasingly. Of course I wasn't going to tell him I knew he was Obito though. Not yet anyways.

His whole aura changed from this happy light one to this dark sinister one. "How do you know this?" he asked in his Madara voice.

"I explained this earlier. So when you're learning about us don't act like an idiot if it really is an act," I said with a teasing grin.

"You have guts kid. You'll learn your place soon," he replied smirking from underneath his mask.

"Anyways. Come on chibis it's time to learn." I yelled. Pein, Konan and Zetsu approached me fairly quickly.

"What do you guys want to know, our technology, food, culture,weapons, society?" I asked

"I would like, to learn about your technology advancements and expressions." Pein said.

"Let's start with expression because while I explain tech it may be hard not to use any expressions. So I'll start out with the ones we use a lot. I like using the ones when pigs fly, Serenity loves saying Its on like donkey kong, and June likes saying stuck between a rock and a hard place."

I went into this huge explanation of what means what along with tech talk. I directed most of my jokes towards Madara. After that my talk about tech went smoothly. I got out my IPad and showed them it. We watched a few clips and I let them stand on it. I personally thought it was adorable because when Pein touched the floor he popped up my background which is a splash of blood. Of course I had to show them some apps. I showed Konan a drawing/animation app I had. I would draw circle around her and draw random shapes to.

Pein on the other hand was quite uneasy with all of it. Every time I popped something up he would demand this huge explanation on it. I took out my iPhone and took a picture of them figuring it out. Pein sat there with this confused face that was pretty funny if you ask me. While Konan had this smile, Zetsu was yelling at himself and it looked like he was about to hit himself. Madara was in the corner looking very bored.

"Ashton you showed us most of your local technology, could you show us more of your advanced technology?" Konan asked.

"Yeah, most of it will include military stuff though. But we won't have the real thing here." I replied.

So after that little talk I explained our tanks, bombs, 3-D printers and so. But then I had to go into guns and stuff. Zetsu seemed the most interested in snipers. At least I don't get stuck with the idiots, partial exception for Kisame. I wonder how Serenity is putting up with them or June. She got all the serious people. I bet she's fawning over Mr. Weasel though. Heh should tease her about that later. Anyways it has been about 2 hours we should meet up soon.

"Hey, do guys want to see my phone in action?" I asked, they all nodded so I whipped out my phone and dialed June's and Serenity's numbers. We had this multi calling system.

"Hey when do you want to meet up in the living room?"

"~Ahhhhhhhh, hahaha. That's not funny. Yes it is." The voices came from Serenity's side.

"What's that?" I yelled demanding an answer.

"Well, Deidara you see, teased Hidan then he pulled Deidara's hair. I feel guilty, but I started laughing. The display was actual funny, after I started laughing they started arguing."

"-Serenity be quieter. And let's meet in five so they can chat a little... Ha get the pun?" June chuckled before breaking out into a louder laugh.

"Yeah I do. But that joke was pretty lame, mine will be better and bigger," I replied holding in laughter.

"~I thought you gave good puns that was pretty puny." Serenity muffled her laughter with her hand before laughing aloud. I could hear her from the other side of the house.

"Keep talking little girl," I said back.

"Ok five minutes will go by fast. I'm running short on time bye," June said and then hung up.

"Aww I was enjoying our small talk so see you cuz," Serenity sighed before hanging up as well.

I hung up my phone and when I looked at Pein, Konan, Zetsu and Madara they all looked displeased. "We're the small jokes necessary?" Madara asked holding the bridge of his nose and shaking his head.

"Nah, just- I thought they were a little funny," I snickered as I bit my lip. I swallowed my laughter, knowing if I were to laugh any more he'd slit my throat. "Come on Mr. Evil. We need to go to the living room and in an hour, get lunch."

"You do know you'd be dead where you stand if it weren't for our patience?" Madara threatened, hatred seething through his voice.

"Then I'll pray that God gives you more patience," I to say we went to the living room and arrived on time with June. Serenity was late though she did walk in with Kisame on her shoulder and Hidan in her shirt pocket along with Deidara there too.

"I see you 4 were enjoying yourselves," I said shaking my head at her.

"Yeah we did. I showed them my room, the outside and explained how the kitchen is my territory," Serenity said happily as she held my hand.

"Well, we'll let you guys talk discuss whatever you want to do and we will be upstairs. Just give a shout if you need it."

June's POV

The rest of the day went by smoothly. In fact the other two days went by nice to. I've seen Serenity really get along with Deidara, Hidan, Kisame, Sasori, and Itachi. Well, getting along as much as murders can.

So far they've only made two attempted murders, I know. Shocker.

I've been talking to Itachi, Pein, Konan, and Sasori a lot. I also enjoy talking to Zetsu. Double shocker, I like him because his personalities that conflict remind me constantly of Ashton, Serenity and I.

Ashton is getting along great with everyone. Especially 'Tobi', triple shocker.

They all slept down stairs on pillows too. Usually Itachi, Sasori, Pein, Tobi and Kakazu would ask for a small cup of coffee, but the early risers were Pein, Tobi, Konan, and Kisame. Itachi got up early only when they had to. Yesterday we told them they could get up when ever, since being in another dimension is so tiring, and he was the last to get up. Same for today though, Serenity and Deidara changed that.

"BOOM!" That sound was followed by a fan girl scream along with a particular someone yelling "Art is a bang!"

"Shut up Brat! We are trying to sleep!" Sasori yelled, his voice muffled from his pillow.

"If you make one last noise Serenity I swear-"

Ashton was cut off by Serenity when she yelled "This is amazing!"

I slowly rolled out of bed and went down stairs in my night wear. Then from there, I went outside to see Deidara on his clay bird flying around Serenity and she was cheering him on. "Serenity stop encouraging him! Since when do you like loud noises this early in the morning! Plus, you could get s in trouble!" I scolded, slowly coming towards her.

"That was amazing Deidara. It was pretty but deadly!" she yelled with a mischievous grin.

I frowned, she was ignoring me. Intentionally or not I did not like being ignored. "No! Serenity Diaz Juárez Soothe. It's too early for this!" I yelled smacking her over the head.

Serenity grabbed her head and cried out. "June you know not the use my full name. Tú idiota!" Serenity whined as she continued to nurse her head.

"I swear to god, Serenity. You know I don't speak your native tongue," I sighed, pointing an accusing finger at her. She took a deep breath but before she could start Ashton came out.

"Serenity Diaz Juárez Soothe! Ya Basta." Ashton yelled angrily. I watched as the scene unfolded, one that hasn't happened for years. Ashton could speak Spanish and Serenity preferred it over English. The two were yelling at each other in Spanish, both screaming back and forth. I had no doubt that the other neighbors were awake and calling the police.

"What are they saying, hmm?" Deidara asked, circling around my head with his clay bird.

"They're speaking another language," I explained crossing my arms. "It's called Spanish. Serenity is a Latina. Straight from Venezuela. "Isn't your native tongue Japanese?" I asked, eyeing the bomber.

Deidara cocked his head to the side. "Yeah. That's the language we speak, un," Deidara replied, not getting my point. He thought for a moment, looking very deep in thought. "I haven't noticed we were speaking your language, hmm," he pondered. "I'm not bilingual."

"I don't know, try speaking your language," I suggested, signaling for him to talk with my hand.

"Sore wa hataraite iru?" he asked, his eyebrow quirked up.

"Deidara stop talking. It seems like maybe when you came to our world you naturally adapted to our language. I don't know," I shrugged, "I mean English doesn't exist in your world so clearly you adopted ours to communicate," I theorized walking inside with him. "But that's just a theory. Who knows, it could just be a random pro."

"That's makes sense, un," Deidara pondered.

"You wanna go tell everyone they can sleep in?" I asked Deidara. "Sure yeah" he replied. Now all there was left to do was make breakfast.
