A/N: Thank you guys for checking out last chapter! I know this one will be a bit drawn out but Erin needs to set some house rules!
Hope you guys enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, the only thing I own are the original characters.
"NO FUCKING WAY! Jashin demands his fucking sacrifices! This fucking bitch can't tell me what I can't fucking do." Hidanyelled at the top of his lungs, only to be punched in the jaw by his now very agitated partner.
I gave a soft smile as I sketched No killing of any kind. On a blank lined piece of paper that I found in one of my binders. I looked towards Pein who simply nodded on my direction, before turning to face Hidan's direction. "This world isn't the same as ours Hidan. We cannot do anything reckless, and for now I believe this rule should be enforced. If what this girl says about their advanced technology we cannot have any risk of getting ourselves in trouble with their government."
"My name is Erin, sir." I grumbled under my breath as I watched the Jashinest curse towards the high heavens. "It is for your safety. If anything happens to you guys, then we are all affected."
"Fucking whatever, dumb bitch." He stomped his foot on the ground, tapping his leg in frustration. "I'm sure he will understand the fucking situation be he'll be fucking pissed off."
"I understand, but this world truly is quiet different then yours." I gave him a sad smile as he turned his head and gaze away from me to pout in a different direction. I couldn't help but sigh as I scribbled down some more rules. "Also, we can't have anyone making any explosions or performing any ninjutsu's. Most explosions or bombs of any kind are illegal unless you have a license to make them or you work for the government. Along with that, if anyone see's you making fireballs, shark bombs or magical yet beautiful floating paper, knowing most people if they see anything suspicious like that then we'll have the cops called on us so fast that we won't even be able to get out of the door in order to escape."
Mumbles and curses were heard around the room as Pein sighed, before nodding towards me. "You guys can still useTaijutsu and Genjutsu to a certain extent, but the only place I have for you guys to train is in my back yard, and it isn't exactly the most spacious piece of land, though it does have a high privacy fence."
Nodding to myself, I ripped the sheet out of my binder and tapped it beside the tv before smiling to myself. "Alright, that's it. The only thing I ask from you guys is for a little bit of respect. Your leader is still your leader, but this is my house, and Jamie is also my best friend. If you treat us with respect, we'll give you respect."
"These rules are to my satisfaction." Pein nodded. I gave a soft smile in his direction before turning to the group with open arms. "Now, would any of you folks like tea? I have green tea and earl gray, though I would like to add that our teamay be different then one kind you guys are used to, this is a very different country."
Everyone with the exception of Zetsu, Tobi and Sasori, everyone else happily accepted the offer. I hummed to myself as I walked towards the kitchen and grabbed the kettle to fill it with water.
Jamie giggled as she looked at Deidara's hair, causing the blonde bomber to give her a strange look. "What is so funny, un?"
"Your hair... I expected it to be blonde but not like, yellow blonde." She gave him a bright smile as she rocked from her spot in one of the chairs beside the television.
"Is this a good or a bad thing, un?" He raised a curious eyebrow as he crossed one of his legs, leaning into the couch as he attempted to make himself comfy.
"Hmm... I can't really answer you on that one. It certainly is different though, but I am leaning towards a good different." She paused for a moment before nodding, happy with he response. She watched Deidara give her a curious look before stretching his arms behind his head and closing his eyes, tired and confused from the days events.
I looked at Jamie from my spot in the kitchen and smiled as I placed tea bags inside nine mugs before adding the now boiled water. I hummed a soft medley as I walked towards the fridge, opening it up and pulling out both milk and cream, placing it on the counter as I waited for the tea to finish. Opening up the cabinet above the stove, I pulled out two tea pitchers and placed them on the counter, closing the doors above before adding both the milk and cream to them.
"It's been a long time since I have had to formally entertain." I gave myself a sad smile as I pulled a matching sugar cube dish and refilled its contents. Jamie's laughs were heard from the living room as I grabbed the milk, cream and sugar before heading to the living room, placing it on the coffee table in front of the Akatsuki members, tea soon following. "There you guys go. I put the milk, cream and sugar separate for I don't know how any of you guys like yours made. I know Jamie likes a lot of sugar and cream in hers and I like mine plain, so you guys can fend for yourselves on that one. If you guys want refills, let me know and Ill happily serve you guys again. Until then, I'll be making everyone breakfast, since it is almost seven in the morning now."
Muttered thanks and muffled grunts were heard around the room as I couldn't help but smirk at their reactions. A few of the members left their tea plain but others such as Deidara, Konan and Jamie added creams and what not to theirs. "If one of you guys want to watch me cook to make sure nothing is poisoned, I don't mind. I only expect you guys to do that." I gave a light laugh.
Pein looked at me for a second before scanning his members for the best choice. "Itachi, watch over her." I couldn't help but do back flips in my mine as the Uchiha nodded, standing with tea in hand to accompany me into the kitchen.
I gave him a soft smile before walking towards the counter where I left my tea, grabbing a rag from the stove to wipe down the counter top before I would start cooking. Itachi seemed to not pay attention to me as he walked to the other side of the kitchen to lean against the wall, attempting to stay out of my way. I couldn't help but hum to myself in amusement. What an Uchiha thing to do.
After a few moments of awkward silence of me walking around my kitchen, attempting to take note of what I had lying around and silently making a mental checklist of what I would need to pick up later. "Um, I'm not sure what to make you guys to be quite honest. Itach-san..." I clicked my tongue at the foreign use of honorifics. "What do you normally eat for breakfast?"
Sharingan eyes turned their focus to mine, and I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine. His eyes in this state were cold, though I wouldn't be surprised if he use them often to hide his emotions from showing. Bringing his mug to his mouth, taking a quiet sip of his tea, he pressed his lips as he eyed me. "...Having breakfast isn't a common luxury where we are from." He closed his eyes in thought as he continued to talk. "...Though whatever you make shall be sufficient, when we did eat our meals usually consisted of eggs in some fashion, and toast."
"Eggs and toast huh?" I poked the side of my cheek with my tongue before walking towards the fridge and opening it up once more. "That seems like such a plain breakfast. If you guys are going to be staying here for a while, I feel as though I have to feed you guys well like I would myself." I turned towards the Uchiha giving him a small smile. "I'm thinking... I'll cook up some sausages and American bacon to add some flavor to that mix. Of course I'll cook some eggs and make some toast on the side, but I think that will be a good mix for you guys. If you wish for something a bit lighter, I'll cook some rice on the side." At least, I think that is apart of their cultures breakfast.. I gave myself a nod before pulling out two packages of bacon and sausages as well as two cartons of eggs. So much for this being my food for the week.
I opened the stove to pull out three pans and a large pot, filling it up with water and placing them on the burners. Walking over to the small pantry that laid in the corner of my kitchen, I popped in pulling out a bottle of olive oil and salt and pepper shakers, bringing them to sit beside the stove. I looked towards Itachi as I salted the water and oiled the pans, waiting for them to head up before pulling out the other components to the meal.
He seemed to be gazing off into the distance, lost in thought. I pressed my lips as I observed him for a moment before starting to undo the packaging to the meats. Zoning out myself, I jumped a little bit, somewhat startled as he spoke up in attempt to start a small conversation.
"...You seem to know quiet a lot about cooking and other wifely duties for someone as young as yourself." I couldn't help but smile as I grabbed the wrappers and threw them into the bin, walking towards the sink to wash my hands.
"Aye, well, I feel as though I have played the role of a house wife for quite a while to be completely honest." I scrubbed my hands together as I attempted to clean my hands before I started. "My mother has a job that requires her to travel around a lot for work, so when I was younger I had to cook for my father and baby sister while she was gone."
The Uchiha nodded, watching me turn off the water and wipe my hands and I walked back over the the stove. "If you are wondering where they are, my mother is in another country right now for work, my sister moved out as soon as she turned sixteen, and my father died when I was about fifteenth, so it has been a while since I have had to cook for someone, let alone an organization such as your own."
Turning to face the stove top, I placed the meats in their own pans, the hiss of sizzling filling the room. I felt myself drift into my thoughts as memories I surpassed came flooding back. I let out a sigh as I opened a bag of rice I pulled out, scooping a few cups of rice into the pot and setting the timer on the stove for 10 minutes. As I moved to the eggs, his soft voice spoke again, a hint of curiosity spiking.
"Are you not bothered by the fact that we are a group of thieves and killers?" I didn't look at him as I started cracking eggs open into one of the large pans I placed out, managing to fit three on before I placed the cracked eggs back in their carton for later disposal.
"Well I must admit, I don't feel completely un-bothered by this situation." I looked at him with a sad smile, crossing my arms over my chest as I leaned against the counter by my side. "For example, I'll probably have to sleep with a baseball bat by my side just from Hidan alone, Pein is considered a god by his people, Kakazu ripped out the hearts of his team mates just to extend his life, and Zetsu is a cannibal just to name a few." I gave a light chucked before turning my head towards the living room for a moment, watching Hidan swear at his partner and how Jamie was laughing at thesituation, having the occasional conversation between Deidara and Konan. "But, I also consider the fact that you guy's clearly aren't here because you want to be. Pein will keep everyone in check before they do something so stupid that my house gets raided. On top of that, you guys are also still humans." I grabbed a spoon and stirred the rice, making sure it wasn't sticking to the bottom before turning towards the Uchiha with a small smile. "Besides, not everyone in this organization is a cold-blooded killer."
His form stiffened as his eyes turned from unemotional to something I couldn't read. Shock? Fear? I couldn't pin it.
The rest of the meal prep was uneventful. Nearing the end I popped the toast in as I started to get ready to plate. I pulled out eleven plates from one of the top cabinets, making sure to also pull out the same amount of forks and didn't have to eat for he was a puppet, so I excluded him from the meal, I'm sure he would understand. I hummed a soft tune as I walked around the kitchen, making sure I had everything readily available. Returning to the top cabinet above the stove I grabbed three large plates as well as a large bowl for presentation, and I closed the doors before placing said dishes on the counter top, moving towards the stove to make sure everything was turned off. "Perfect." I said, giving myself a big smile, one filled with success.
I pieced together everything on the large plates, making sure there was enough for twelve hungry people. I placed the rice in the large bowl before moving to plate anything else. Large amounts of toast got their own plate, as well as the eggs in attempt to keep them from touching the meat. Finishing up by placing the sausages and bacon together, I clapped my hands before looking towards Itachi, who was still staring at my head. "You are alright to head back into the living room Itachi-san. I can bring everything out myself, as you have seen I have not poisoned anything or done anything not to your liking." Without saying anything he gave a single nod, bringing his cup of tea which he had barely touched back into the living room, though I could still feel his eyes on me as he sat down. "Jamie, could you come in here please?"
"Course Mamma!" Jamie's blonde head popped into the kitchen as she practically ran to my side. "It smells super yummy Eri! Though I gotta say, rice for breakfast?"
I poked her arm before resting my hands on my waist. "Well, they are practically Japanese, and I remembered that some Japanese people have rice with their morning meals. Plus, what I made can be quiet heavy, so I want to make sure I have a light component to help balance things out." I gave myself a reassuring nod.
"Mamma, you are uber smart, you know that?" She pat my head as she walked towards the food to inspect the rest of the contents. "It looked delicious though, seriously. We were smelling it from the living room, everyone is quite hungry now ha ha." She laughed to herself as she eyed the food.
"Well I'll need help bringing it out, but I need you to bring in the milk, cream and sugar from earlier, want to make sure the coffee table is cleared enough to fit everything. I would sit us in the dining room, but that only sits about six people."
"All good, gimme a second." She dashed to the living room, bringing in a few empty mugs and the pieces I had asked for. "There we go!"
"Thanks babe." I poked her side as I turned to grab the empty plates and the knives and forks.
"Hey Erin?" Her sudden voice drop alerted me as I turned to look at her. Following where her eyes were looking, I turned around to look in the living room, only to see nothing out of the blue.
"Whats up Jim Jam?" I turned back to face her after a moment of checking out the living room.
"Is there a reason Itachi Uchiha keeps staring at you? It's kinda creepy, not going to lie." Her voice lowered in an attempt to keep our conversation quiet. I shrugged my shoulders, lifting up all eleven empty dishes to bring our guests.
"Hey, who knows." I held my tongue, not telling her how I was slowly poking the beast.
"Alright, whatever you say. Now, lets go feed our new pet criminals."
"You are going to get us fucking killed with those pet names."
"Wowie! The food smells delicious girls! Tobi is super excited to try it out!" I smiled towards the masked man as we placed the food down on the table that laid in the middle of the room. Once my hands became free, I placed a hand on his head before bringing my head close to his ears.
"If you wish to eat in privacy, if you head down the other hall from the bedrooms there is a dining room that is closed off from everything." I pulled away and gave him a soft smile. I could almost see a sudden flash of red, but I turned my head in an attempt to let it pass as a friendly gesture. "You are wearing that mask for a reason, ne? My house is yours for now, so please make yourself at home."
"Thank you pretty lady! Tobi is grateful for your consideration!" Jamie came in with the rest of the food then, and soon the table was loaded. Tobi grabbed one of the plates and loaded it up before heading towards the dining room I had mentioned. Zetsu was next, picking only meat from the selection before he followed his partner.
"Better go follow the boy. Make sure he doesn't get himself into trouble. We sometimes have to remind the boy to chew his food before swallowing. Such a pain." I smiled but gave a dismissive wave, watching the two Akatsukimembers disappear into the private dining space.
"About fucking time bitch, I was fucking starving." Hidan rose from his place to fill his plate. I couldn't help but snort as he dug in the moment he sat down, not caring to wait for anyone else.
"Well I hope you guys enjoy. I didn't know what you guys would normally eat, plus I'll need to do some shopping soon, but I made sure to at least create a decent spread for you guys."
The rest of the Akatsuki huddled around the table filling plates and grabbing utensils with the exception of Sasori. I explained to him I already knew he was a puppet and how I knew he didn't require nutrition like the others. "You girls seem to know everything on us, don't you?"
Jamie slowed down her pace as she scooped some sausages onto her plate, and I just pressed my lips as I turned towards the puppeteer. I searched my head for answers. "W-well, we do no quite a bit, yes. Though not everyone's back stories are as elaborate as some of the others, we only know of the stuff like matters... Such as Hidan's rituals, Deidara'sweird hand mouths and your puppet body." He gave a soft hum at that answer, and I sighed in relief that he didn't continue asking me questions. Jamie's pace returned to normal as she sat back in her chair, digging into her food.
Waiting until everyone else had been served, I reached in to grab a plate, only putting a small amount of rice and a single egg on it as I sat back down. Jamie looked at me with worried eyes. "Erin, why aren't you eating much?"
"Ah, I'm just not that hungry this morning." I gave her a dismissive wave before I poked at my rice. Glancing at my eyes she gave a soft nod before filling her face with bacon, not commenting further.
A pregnant silence filled the room as everyone ate, my eyes sometimes gazing upwards to look around, sometimes catching Jamie's and Itachi's eyes on my person. I couldn't help but shiver as his shifting sharingan pierced into my soul. My agoraphobia is starting to kick in... this isn't good.
"This food is fucking delicious, this bitch can cook." Hidan broke the silence as he finished off his food, going in for more. I smiled at his comment, feeling my anxiety dip down as the room became more friendly.
"Hidan is right brat." Kisame's thick voice cut through the room as if it were butter, I couldn't help but giggle inwardly at the roughness. "Home cooked food is always delicious, let alone breakfast for us isn't exactly a common meal we get to enjoy."
"Well I am glad you guys like it." I smiled as I poked the rest of my egg, scooping it up and putting it into my mouth, finishing off my meal. I quickly swallowed as I took note of the empty dishes that were building on the table. "It isn't often I get to cook for so many people, It's quite nice. I look forward to doing it again."
"I'm Erin's only guest besides her sister and her mother on the rare occasion. At this point the house is practically Erin's." Jamie gave a small laugh as she pointed her fork in my direction. "Erin is the prefect house wife ya know. She can cook, clean and she makes people feel welcome." She returned to eating after she sent me a wink and I couldn't help but chuckle. "Even though this is kinda a not so good situation for us, I know she'll try to make sure you guys are fed well, clothed, and healthy. She is my kinda woman."
Kisame gave a bark and Hidan choked on his food as he turned to look at Jamie with large eyes. "What are you a fuckinglesbo?" Food spilled out of his mouth as Kakazu slapped him on the back of the head. "Finish your food before you talk, Idiot."
Jamie laughed at their reaction, before sticking out her tongue. "Nah, she is my Mamma." They looked at her confused.
"We are just really close, mother daughter sort of relationship along with the usual close friendship." I cleared up for them, smiling as they calmed down. "Though, lets be honest. Jamie is a babe, even as a woman I would fuck her."
"You girls are strange, un." Deidara gave a smirk as he sent a look to both me and Jamie, before he set his eyes on the female blonde. "But I do agree, Jamie is quite beautiful, un."
I watched Jamie with mild amusement, watching her cheeks turn red. "Oy. Stay away from my woman you perv, or I'll cut your dick off."
He gave a chuckle before returning to his food. The rest of the meal was uneventful.
I huffed as I carried all the heavy and now dirty dishes in to the kitchen, barely making it to the sink before my hands fell off. Breathing a sigh of relief, I wiped my hands before cleaning up the kitchen in trying to keep everything tidy. "I don't know If I should be offended at the fact that I'm now going to be in the kitchen a lot for a bunch of men, or feel offended that Jamie is completely useless in this field, leaving me to slave twice as hard in her place."
After about twenty minutes of scrubbing dishes, pot and pans – I was finally finished my morning work in the kitchen before walking into the living room. "I'm going to be changing into my day clothing, Jamie if you want to change I would suggest you do it now as well. We as that you please respect our privacy for the next five minutes." I gave them a slight bow, feeling quite odd well-doing it but I raised my head high, dragging my blonde friend along with me.
As we reached my bedroom, I opened the door and slammed it shut as I looked at her with somewhat fearful eyes. "It JUST hit me." I muttered as my shoulders slumped.
"You were always 'that' girl Erin. I'm surprised though it took you that long." She gave a supportive smile, resting her hand on my back. I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding and I gave her a sad nod.
"It doesn't help that now I'm going to have to start budgeting for these guys and making sure they are clothed and fed. They know nothing of this world, and we are expected..." I looked at her before fixing my words. "...I'M expected... To know all the answers."
"Oy, watch your words Missy." She gave a soft laugh as she gave my back a heavy and loud pat, causing me to wince but give her a playful smile. "We both will get through this together."
"Yeah, I know. Still though, I can't help but feel a tremendous weight on my shoulders."
"Oy, don't think you are alone on this one, besides its to be expected. Anyway, I plan on piling some money into this as well, we'll make it work. It's a shame these asshole had to come in as human's and not as cats, those fan fictions normally end better." She gave a bitter laugh.
"Thank you Jamie... Though we shouldn't compare this to those silly stories." I shook my head as I crossed my arms, walking to the middle of my room. "Yes I love reading them, but sadly this is real and not some... young girl or boys piece of work." I walked towards my dresser pulling out some clean clothing for us to wear. "Besides, it is quite scary this whole situation. Though, one of my favorite characters is in the mix."
"Seriously, what is up with him? He just kept staring into your soul like he was fight with himself, deciding if he should burn you or do something... I don't know, but something." She struggled to find her words. "It was just creepy. What did you say to him."
"Well..." I tossed my night clothing to the floor, as I looked around the room to make sure we had no stray intruders in my bedroom. "I just old him that not everyone in the organization is a cold-blooded killer."
"Eri Eri Eri... You are playing with fire, throwing words like that around." She whipped her clothing off too, throwing on ashort-sleeved shirt and some jeans. "This isn't Shippuden Itachi, this is before the series even starts Itachi. You shouldn't even poke that you know his sensitive information like that." Her voice turned almost inaudible as she buttoned up her jeans and adjusted her bra underneath her shirt. I gave her a sad smile before throwing on my clothing.
"Yeah I know... But fuck I want to hug him."
"You and me both... Only though when he stops being creepy." I snorted.
After another five minutes of freshening ourselves up, we walked out of the room, back into the living room to join the criminals as they fiddled around with the remote. So they are finally playing with the TV eh?
"Those girls were right, their technology is quite advanced compared to ours. Their televisions alone are a big improvement from our own." Sasori commented as he flipped through the channels, pressing random buttons.
"Somewhere around channel thirty-one, that's where most of the crime shows are." I looked at the clock on the TV asSasori turned on the guide, typing in 'thirty one'. I smiled as the time read 8:01.
"Dog the bounty hunter?" Kakazu's voice perked with interest.
"Yes. This show is pretty much the good guy version of you." I gave him a smile as the 'Dog the bounty hunter' theme blast through the TV.
"Interesting." He leaned back in his chair, eyes shinning brought at the thought of a show about bounty hunters.
Returning to our previous seats, I noted the absence of Tobi and Zetsu, who had now permanently taking residence in the dining room. I gave a smile, looking towards the closed-door. The partners in crime, discussing their evil plans. Curious, I am. I turned my attention back to Pein, who was watching my every movement.
"So." I gave a light cough to clear my throat as I turned to the Akatsuki 'leader'. "We need to do some shopping to get you guys some clothes to help the 'blending in process." Pein nodded in agreement as he watched me closely. "Now, In my mother's room I have a few of my dad's clothes still lying around, and I'm positive they will fit.." I looked around the room, eyeing the members. "Possibly Sasori, Deidara, Itachi and Hidan. My dad's weight shifted constantly so I'm pretty sure they will fit them with no problem... The reason why I am bringing these guys up is because they are the few who will have no problem blending in without the use of genjutsu or whatever visual jutsu's you guys can use to disguise yourselves. If we can avoid doing that, I think it'll be better for everyone."
Pein eyed me, letting me continue. "I would happily take all of you, but I only have enough space in my car for five people, including myself. Jamie can't drive, she has a fear of getting in front of the wheel."
"Car, un?" Deidara asked curiously.
"Yes... Car's... How would I explain a car Jamie?" I looked to the blonde.
"Pretty much 'personal carriers.' of a limited amount of people. It like, a weirdly shaped metal box with a bunch of seats that moves on wheels, powered by gas and other pieces." She nodded at her explanation.
"Interesting." Pein noted.
"Again, I would take all of you, but I don't have a large enough car for everyone. Plus, I'm pretty sure the rest of y'all would cause quiet the scene if we were to go in public. Bright colored hair, piercings covering almost every inch of your face, a giant plant, creepy eyes – no offense, and masks aren't really allowed in public. This is a small city compared to the rest in Ontario. Everyone knows everyone. I just don't really want to draw attention to ourselves."
Pressing his lips together, Pein nodded one last time before looking towards the other members. "The girl is right. At this time, everyone who stays at home will work together in figuring out a way back. Though I still do not know how we got here, going in small groups would be beneficial."
"I also want to point out that I should head home sometime today, spend the night with my family before I spend all my time over here. I'm not leaving Erin to fend for herself and a bunch of criminals, this is a joint effort." She puffed her cheeks out as she turned towards Pein. "I don't plan on spilling any information, I feel like keeping my head thank you very much... Though I do need to head home and spend some time with the fam before I dedicate myself one hundred and ten percent."
"I kinda agree with you. Get this done as soon as possible, before you mom has a cow." I smiled at Jamie, thinking about how over protective her mother was. "As long as you don't tell her you will be spending your life with you best friend in a house full of men and a beautiful woman." I nodded to Konan who gave the tiniest of a laugh. "We should be good."
"I am not confident in allowing her to return home. You could easily leave our sights and blab information to the police."Pein turned to look at me, waiting to hear some more of my words on this.
"Well, remember when I mentioned there are fans of you guys in this world?" He gave a small nod. "Jamie and I happen to like you guys. We aren't anywhere near being crazy fans, we just enjoy your characters in the show. In some weird way we have always wanted to meet some characters in the show, and we would in no way attempt to turn you or anyone from said show/book into the police of blab any sort of sensitive information. Besides, people would think we are crazy." I gave a small laugh.
"...Fine. Though if the situation changes due to information being leaked, I will have no problem ending both of your lives." I could help but gulp.
"A-anyways!" I frowned at my stutter, before shaking myself out of it. "Before we even consider leaving, lets talk about sleeping arrangements."
"Good thinking Eri!" Jamie give me a thumbs up before bringing her right index finger to her mouth. "You have four bedrooms including your own. How do you want to do this?"
"Should we keep the same partners as they had before you guys came here?" I looked to Pein who looked around the room, silently judging all the members quietly. "Yes." "Alright, well with that being said, you and Konan can use the master bedroom, my parents room... Though I think it is best that you also keep Hidan and Kakazu with you..."
"What the fuck bitch? We don't need fucking baby sitters!" Hidan's voice roared as he thrashed around from his spot on the couch. Kakazu snorted at his partner before crossing his arms. "Honestly, I think she is right brat. You need all the fucking supervision we can get."
"Fuck off."
"Well?" I looked to Pein with a tilted head, and watched as he sighed.
"It is true, those two are better under our supervision. It would allow us to keep... Hidan, out of trouble during the night."
"It is settled then. Besides, I have two single blow up mattresses each of them can use. I wouldn't dare bring out the double wide one, I don't think you would want to hear complaining or... other things during the night."
"Fucking bitch, are you fucking calling us gay or some shit?"
"Why would I ever say such a thing?" I gave a light smirk before turning back to the leader, ignoring the chuckles fromDeidara and Kisame. "Tobi and Zetsu can have the spare bedroom. It's the farthest away from the other bedrooms, and I know how hype and loud Tobi can be." Grunts of approval were heard across the room.
"Now, I have no problem sharing my room with a pair of you, though I might add the thought of someone being awake all night and not being able to ever sleep kinda creeps me out." I looked towards Sasori with apologetic eyes. He raised his hands and closed his eyes. "No offense taken. I understand." "Alright, with that said you guys can have my sister's old room. She had a fairly large bed even though the room is small, so it shouldn't be a problem for you guys."
I looked towards Kisame and Itachi, who were watching us with curiosity. "Now, that leaves you two. If you have no problem, I don't mind sharing my room with you two. I have another spare blow of mattress from when my dad would take us camping, so I have plenty of space in my room for you guys. I also promise, I have no cooties if you are worriedabout that." I could hear Jamie giggle off to the side.
"I have no problem with it, what do you think, Itachi?" Kisame said with a toothy smile. The Uchiha looked at his partner and gave a soft nod, returning his gaze back onto me. "Well then Kiddo, there is your answer."
"Well then everything is settled." I said with a smile. I looked towards Pein. "Any objections?"
"...None." He spoke after a minute of contemplating.
"Great! Now all I need to do is drop Jamie off so we can get started on our shopping... I also need to get some groceries for night, but we will talk about that later. If you want to send someone with us to watch over us, I don't mind. When we come back we will pick everyone up and go from there."
Pein looked over the group before landing on Sasori. "Sasori, you will join them on this... Car ride. You will let us know how everything goes, and everyone should be ready by the time you return."
Sasori grunted before giving a bored nod, turning to look at me for direction. "Lets get you guys dressed first, you guys will not being going out in your Akatsuki cloaks, they'll draw too much attention. When you are dressed then we shall go." I stood up and jerked my hand for him to follow me, which he did without a word.
After we started walking towards my dad's room, my mind was left to wander as I considered how the day would go. I only could pray to whatever god, if there was one out there that they would be merciful with me for the rest of the day, but I couldn't ignore the uneasy feeling in my stomach.
Something about today was going to be off. I had no clue how right I was.
Thank you guys for your love and support with this story! This chapter took a while to type up, but I am happy that now it is finished. I am excited to see where Erin's and Itachi's relationship go from here, as she hints that she knows of his past. The boy is an enigma, he won't be an easy one to crack.
Thank you guys for checking this story out! I'll see y'all next chapter! :)
