"Buzz off, Deidara." You said, pushing him away and heading towards the base's living room. You took a glance behind you and noticed Deidara's smirk fade and Tobi bouncing along behind you, asking where you were going. You went over to the couch and sat next to Kisame, frowning at what was on the TV, you reached for the remote, and your attempt at changing the channel was stopped by light-blue hand grabbing the remote out of yours.

"Hey! Kisame, give that back!" You shouted at him, trying to get the remote back as he simply held it over the arm of the couch, certainly out of your reach.

"Tobi will help Etsuko-chan!" The hyper good-boy exclaimed, running over to the other side of the couch and easily grabbing the remote from Kisame while he was being distracted from your petty attempts at trying to get the remote. Tobi went back over to you and handed you the remote sitting beside you on the couch. Kisame frowned when he realized the remote had gotten back to you, and you stuck your tongue out childishly at him.

"Thank you, Tobi!" You said, turning back to him and beaming at him.

"Your welcome, Etsuko-chan!" Tobi said, his smile not seen, but heard from the tone in his voice. All three of you flinched when you heard a loud 'boom' from an explosive and Deidara shouting in annoyance, 'I'm NOT going on a mission, hmm!' Then Sasori came into the room, his wooden, flesh-like skin charred from the bomb and a scowl darkening over his face.

"Blondie better get over it soon, because this is HIS jinchuuriki to capture, not mine." Sasori muttered, sitting in a chair near the couch. Deidara walked into the room, grumbling and sitting down in a chair on the other side of the couch from Sasori. Sasori and Deidara scowled at each other for a while, bringing an awkward silence down onto the atmosphere of the room.

Kisame coughed lightly after a bit longer, clearing his throat and also catching a bit of Sasori and Deidara's attention, but they scowled on at each other, waiting for Kisame to say something. "Don't you two have a mission together?" Kisame asked the two, nodding his head towards the exit to the base.

"Right…un." Deidara said, reaching under his cloak to find he didn't have any clay with him. "I have to go get some more clay, be right back, danna, un." Deidara mumbled, waving lazily back at the puppet man.

"Oi, what did you get into an argument about this time Sasori?" Kisame asked Sasori after Deidara left, you listening, just being curious. Sasori glanced at Kisame, a frown gracing over his wooden, fleshy lips.

"Clay." He simply said, turning his head back.

"Clay? What do you mean by that?" Kisame asked, suddenly becoming confused.

"I mean that we argued about how much clay he should bring with him, after all, he is fighting a jinchuuriki by himself." Sasori responded, a scowl forming out of the frown on his face.

"Oh, so Deidara has to go get the one-tail?" You asked, interrupting whatever Kisame was about to say. Sasori simply nodded his response, and at that moment Deidara had returned, buttoning back up his cloak.

"Let's head out Sasori-danna, we need to go get the one-tail before leader gets angry at us both, hmm." Deidara said, heading out the door followed by Sasori.

"Etsuko-chan?" Tobi asked, tilting his head to the side a bit in curiosity while you look over at him, your attention now directed to him.

"Yes, what is it Tobi?" You asked him.

"Did you eat breakfast?" Tobi asked.

"Uh…No, why?" You asked him back, and then you heard it, your stomach was growling. "Oh, now I see." You said, rubbing the back of your head in slight embarrassment.

"Here, Tobi will make you something to eat." He said, grabbing your hand and bringing you over to the kitchen. "What do you want? Tobi will make you whatever you please." Tobi said, letting you sit down on a chair and then he hopped over to the counter. "Well?"

"Um… I honestly don't know Tobi, whatever you would like to make me is fine with me…I guess." You muttered the last part.

"Okay!" Tobi exclaimed. "Tobi will make…" He looked through the cabinets, looking for some kind of ingredient. "Cookies!" Tobi exclaimed once more.

You laughed. "Silly Tobi, cookies aren't for breakfast." You went over to him, snatching the cookie batter package out of his hand. "How about… pancakes! You can eat those for breakfast, and they're sweet!" You smiled brightly at him. He clapped his hands together, and brought out the ingredients for pancakes.

"Good idea, Etsuko-chan, I guess I wasn't thinking straight…" Tobi said, scratching the back of his head after he placed the ingredients on the table. You frowned slightly, 'when is he ever thinking straight…' You thought, and then your smile came back and started to help him make pancakes.

"Wait, Tobi! You don't need to crack that many eggs!" You shouted, grabbing his hand before he could crack another egg to add to the mixing bowl.

"Oh, sorry Etsuko-chan, I guess Tobi must have forgotten!" He said putting the unharmed egg back into the carton and placing the egg carton back into the fridge.

After you two had finished making pancakes, you brought the stack of pancakes piled up on a plate over to the table and Tobi set down some plates and silverware for the two of you. "All ready Etsuko-chan!" He exclaimed in joy when he finished. You smiled and sat down next to him.

You had finished eating and were cleaning Tobi's and your dishes because he had left after he had finished eating to go bug Zetsu, who was keeping watch outside the base. You happily finished cleaning the dishes and put them on the rack to dry. You were startled when you heard a voice behind you speak.

"Morning, Etsuko-chan, what were you doing?" Kakuzu said from behind you. You practically jumped out of your skin when you heard his voice and you turned around quickly.

"Kakuzuuuuu~, you scared me! Don't do that!"You complained, crossing your arms over your chest and pouting childishly. He merely chuckled in amusement. You leaned back against the counter, still pouting. "And for your information, I was cleaning the dishes." You said, sticking your tongue out childishly at him.

"Why were you cleaning the dishes? We have a dish-washer right there," He pointing to a dish-washer, which was right next to the sink and you frowned at yourself, "and secondly," He continued, regaining your attention once more, " you are defiantly not the Akatsuki's maid." He finished, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I know…But I obviously didn't know that there was a dish-washer." You said, frowning at yourself once more. He chuckled again in amusement.

He smiled, the smile barely registered from behind his mask. "What else happened today while I was asleep?" He asked.

"Well…let's see, I woke up to Tobi and Deidara have a bit of an argument, I went to the living room with Tobi and sat on the couch next to Kisame, and Deidara got angry because he had a mission and almost blew Sasori up, they left for their mission, and Tobi and I made pancakes!" You explained, trying to recall all the events that had happened that morning.

"Deidara blew up part of the base again? Shit! Leader's going to make me pay for the damage again!" Kakuzu shouted, annoyed. He stormed off, leaving you bubbling from laughter. You went to the living room to see that the hyper little good boy was back. You switched souls to Kimiko and bounced over to him, giggling the whole time.

~Madara's POV~

"Hello, Tobi-kun! What were you doing?" Kimiko asked, tilting her head to the side innocently.
