Author note: sorry I haven't updated in a while, don't hurt me *hides* So I've finally gotten around to typing out my chappies, and I might change them from my original, by just a bit though. I still haven't planned out all of my plot line. ^^' Well here goes a years worth of planning this story, enjoy. ^^

Thanks to my friends for being so supportive of this story and whom without none of you would be reading this chapter right now. Yay for friends!

Disclaimer: I do not own the akatsuki or Naruto, if I did we would have all of the akatsuki members still alive *sigh* I only own my characters (Tsuki and Neko)

Mini note please forgive my spelling! I was typing really fast late a night trying to finish it for you all, so if you found I spelt a name wrong or a grammar/spelling error, please tell me so (nicely if possible). Thanks!

Chapter 2

Homecoming

Konan did a horrible job of it, but I got the main layout of the base. A cave to the main hall, the hall way to the right goes to the kitchen, the one to the left goes to the living room. And the doors along the hall are bedrooms, extra hallways were still a mystery to me, I made a mental note to go explore them later. My favorite part of it all was my room. My room! I had a room at the Akatsuki base! This was so awesome! It was colored with blacks, and various dark shades of blue, purple, green, and some red. It had a bed, desk, desk chair, beanbag chair (a fuzzy one), a walk in closet (with a dresser in it), and to much of my enjoyment, a laptop.

Next on my agenda was to unpack, I never had much in the first place, but Konan was still surprised at how much I could fit in there. I had pulled out, so far; a lot of changes for cloths (including: shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, socks, pajamas, and undergarments), fishnet clothing, a cookbook, a vacuum (which gave her the biggest surprise, this vacuum was not small), a duster, Windex, a lot of paper towels, toiletries (toothbrush, hair brush, exedra), a video camera (with extra batteries), a camera, shaving cream, paper, chocolate, marshmallows, a few reading books, a master control remote (for everything! How useful!), a few pots, hangers, a lot of string, scissors, and a lot of glue. (If it has not been made clear yet, the last half had nothing to do with cleaning and all to do with making a big hilarious mess).

I never did tell Konan what all of it was for. Though she didn't need explaining when I pulled out the fish food. She did make me explain once, when I pulled out a clown mask and strange colored makeup. I told her it was for the dinner show, I never did tell her what kind of show.

After an hour or so when I had everything put away that I had to find a place for in the house, Konan had left, and I was putting the last few things in my dresser. I opened the bottom drawer, putting my shirts in it, I felt something cold brush my hand. I quickly pulled my shirts back out, setting them next to me and glancing quickly around me. No one was there, and no appeared to have lost anything, so I reached back into the drawer, my hand brushed it again, it was a cold metal. My hand slowly closed around it, it was small and oddly shaped. I pulled my hand out and stared at my closed fist. I opened my hand to find myself staring a small detail key. It had a simple design, and in the middle of the design was a small blood ruby in the shape of a heart, with a rim of silver lining it and holding it in place. If I tilted it at a certain angle and the light hit it just right, it would change color to a deep misty violet.

"What's it for? It's pretty," said a voice very close to my ear. I quickly closed my fist around it while jumping up at the same time. I spun around to see a cat fidgeting on the floor. It jumped up and yelled at me.

"Don't jump up! I was sitting on your shoulder!" She hissed at me, stalking away from me and jumped up onto my bed, sitting down and licking her shoulder hair that had fluffed up in the commotion.

I was about to scream, in fact I would have, except one thing kept me from doing that. Ever since I got here animals had been talking to me…

---random flash back!!!!!!!---

OOF!! I fell hard on the ground; I had tripped over an overly sized root. "Ug," I mumbled to myself as I brushed myself off, "where am I, and who the hell grows trees that big?!" I was not in a good moon, earlier that morning I had fallen into the Naruto-verse and I had barley anything to eat all day, not to mention I was tired because I had been staying up late the night before. I continued walking on completely lost and frustrated. And then I saw it, a frog. It was the cutest frog I had ever seen! It was orange and wearing a vest! Adorable!

I smiled as I walked up to it, "hello mister frog, how are you today? Looking for anybody, Mr. Frog? A fly perhaps?" Now I know talking to frogs may seem weird, but can you really blame me, I fell through the sky into an unknown forest and was almost delusional. Though what I should have known is that talking to frogs is never a good idea.

The frog turned squinting at me and my big stupid grin. "Hi! I'm not doing good, why do you ask? And I'm looking for a kid, his name is Naruto. He can be as annoying as a fly sometimes to, if that's what you mean."

I blinked at him, frozen in place, after his first word I stopped listening and all I knew was that this frog was actually talking bake to me, answering my questions.

"What's the matter with you kid? Cat got your tongue? You went all hard for a moment there. Oh I forgot to mention, my name is-" he kept on talking.

The next thing that happened, I was screaming my head off yelling "TALKING FROG!!!!!!!!!!" and kicked the little sucker with all the leg power I could muster, which surprising enough, was a lot. After that shock, I then realized where I was, having half listened to the frog mention Naruto. I never could remember his name though…

---End of random flashback!!!---

There was also another reason I didn't scream at the cat, I recognized the voice, one I used to know that belonged to an old friend of mine.

"Neko?!?" I almost yelled it, but it came out in a hurried whisper.

The cat looked up at me, from over its shoulder, and said coolly, "yes, that is me."

"Why are you a cat?" I asked sitting on my fuzzy beanbag chair, PIFF (1), they key closed in my head and my head coked to one side in question.

"Fool!" she bristled, and spun around to face me, "I was turned into a cat when I got here! And you, thinking I was a sweater, Stuffed. Me. Into. Your. Bag." She said the last word with extra anger.

I stifled a smile, "so that's why that sweater clawed me." And breathed to myself, "I knew I wasn't going mad."

Her ear twitched, glaring at me. She was about to hiss something else at me when her head whipped toward the door and she sprinted to my closet, out of sight. I shifted toward my dresser and started putting more cloths away. Just then there was a knock at the door. I blinked and turned to see who was there, remembering Konan had closed the door when she left, I stood up to open it. Only to find it open and standing the doorway, leaning to one side was Deidara. His eyes where closed and he was smirking.

I shifted my weight to one foot and put my hand on my hip, "what do you want?"

He was about to reply when Tobi's head appeared in the doorway, "Deidara is hungry! He thinks you cook really bad, and he also thinks-" Tobi was cut off from Deidara punching him. I figured it would happen, since his eyebrow had been twitching ever since Tobi appeared in my doorway.

"Shut up Tobi!" I could hear Tobi land, waaaay down the hall. "As I was going to say…" Deidara was again interrupter, this time by Zetzu. (2). "I refuse to eat plants" "I really like meats"

Deidara glared at him. I almost burst a gut laughing, or well trying not to laugh. Zetzu caught my laughter anyway.

"What?" (3)

That was it, I burst out laughing. Deidara raised an eyebrow at me. Tobi's head appeared upside-down at the top of my doorway. Zetzu stared at me, still not getting what I was laughing at. Just my luck, Hidan walked up, "What's so damned funny?"

I pointed at Zetzu, and said as best I could while laughing myself out of air, "He, puff, doesn't like, (cough, laugh) plants!" Zetzu stiffened at my point. Deidara smirked getting it know.

Tobi: "oh, that's what you were laughing at. Ha! Ha!" Tobi laughed with me. Hidan sifted his weight and looked at me like I was crazy.

"What?" I asked defensively, "I knew he controlled plants, but I didn't think he actually" I coughed a laugh, my lungs hurting like hell from laughing to hard.

I heard a snicker out of view near Deidara. Zetzu smiled evilly, "you know Tsuki-chan my favorite meat is fish."

I smirked so evilly it made Deidara flinch. I noticed this and quickly changed it to a creepy smile, "that's nice Zetzu, thank you for telling me. Perhaps some day while I work here I will make it for you." Zetzu seemed to get it, as did Hidan. If I needed revenge on Kisame…

"Oh Jashin-sama! Well this should be pretty damn funny! Let the girl plan this one out, she may even do it better than Deidara!" this earned him a glare from Deidara, he didn't notice, he had walked off after making his comment.

"Kisame-san! Don't make Tsuki-chan angry!" Tobi disappeared from the doorway with a poof, that was shortly followed by a "why" from in the hall. Deidara had his, this-is-so-not-worth-it-anymore face on. Zetzu had mentioned something about evil broccoli as he left; I made a mental note to make some broccoli. I poked my head out the door and yelled "Tobi come help me cook dinner!" an orange and black blur wised down the hall to the kitchen, words followed after it' "Tobi loves to cook! Tobi will get started right away!"

Deidara glared down the hall and as I walked back into my room, glancing around for something I felt I forgot.

Deidara then asked to come in my room.

"Why?"

"Because if I just stepped in, un…" he stopped to stare at my smirk.

This was perfect! They know how un-pathetic I really am! Yay!

"Did I say something wrong, un?" he asked unsure of himself.

"You're cute!" I said smiling widely, causing my eyes to close. When I opened them, Deidara was frozen in place and speechless, before he snapped back, "hey! I'm not a girl!" I was already in the hall, giving up on my 'forgotten item' quest, and saw Sasori standing there looking like he wasn't going to move anytime soon. I sighed and turned back to Deidara, "I never said you are girly cute, I said you are," I paused thinking of the right word, I couldn't think of one, "boyish cute." He seemed to like this answer better, he grinned.

"You really think so, yeah?" he smiled at me.

I blinked, wow he really was cute. If only he smiled like that more often…

"Tsuki," Sasori said interrupting my thoughts and in what Neko (who is a die-hard fan of anime red heads, especially the one who are a puppet master named Sasori) would describe this as his charming and beautiful voice. "It's almost nineteen o'clock (military time for 7 p.m.) when are you going to feed me?" he said he eyes sparkling, batting his eyelashes in a way Neko would find almost irresistible and worthy of a "death glomp (4)" I giggled innerly (((A/N how do you spell that .)))to myself, it's a wonder Neko survived this long without glomping him yet.

"Tobi can't cook..." he added.

"Ohmygosh! I forgot!" I said squishing the words together. I grabbed Deidara and Sasori by the arms and pulled them with me to the kitchen, as I sprinted down the hall. They, surprisingly, came willingly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Oh and bold italic, like this is both of Zetzu talking.

4) This is a trademark saying specialized for my friend only, it is where she glomps you with such force, swinging around your neck, taking out all of you air supply, note the "death" glomp. ^.^
