"You are going to fucking pay for breaking my leg." Hidan called to me from across the room, coolly eyeing my water droplet covered form.
"We get the idea already Hidan." The red head tending to my wounds snapped rather moodily at the platinum haired criminal.
"I'm just making sure that Solaris chan over there fucking knows that." Came the cocky reply.
The red head, who turned out to be a man called Sasori, the man who owned the sleek and expensive looking car that brought me to this place, had already fixed Hidan's leg but the platinum haired criminal still lingered in within the room, reclining on one of the comfy beds. According to Deidara, who quickly educated me about the red head, he was an extremely quick tempered man who quite liked to turn people into puppets for his 'collection'. I made a quick mental note then an there to never anger the man.
"I'm sure she does." He said boredly to Hidan as he craned my neck backwards into an uncomfortable angle to get better access to my to the wound that Pein had inflicted upon me, the cut weeping as I swallowed.
I grumbled, letting the men in the room know how uncomfortable I was.
"Hold on a second would you?" The red head demanded tiredly wrapping a thin strip of material around my throat, the tightness of it making it feel as if I were being half strangled. "There. All done. Now you go and run along with Deidara. Take the zealot with you too. I'm getting fed up with his talk about revenge."
I slid from the stainless steel bench I had been perched on and my feet hit the floor. Ground shock splintered through the base of my feet and up my legs and I ducked my head in pain, my half dry hair flipping around my face at the sudden movement. Deidara, who had been sleeping soundlessly in the deep red velvet chair next to the bench, exploded into life as the chain rattled and tugged in his hand, as if it had its own life.
"All done? Great. Let's go get you dressed, un." Deidara said commandingly tugging me through the door he opened with his vacant hand.
"Oh joy." I commented dryly.
"Don't sound too enthusiastic." He said in response. "I'm sure the clothing Leader has picked out for you will look good on you, un."
Little did I know that after seeing what I was going to be forced to wear made me not ever want to face the public ever again…
XxX
"Oh hell no!" I cried at my reflection in the floor length mirror. "Get me out of this instantly!"
"Nope, un." Deidara said smirking at me in the mirror.
"I am not leaving this room dressed in this state!"
I was referring to the monstrosity of an outfit that I had been shoved into. It was an incredibly short and ridiculous black and light pink lacy maids outfit. It was so short that you could see my under wear at the back where my tail lifted the black skirt up. I took hold of the skirt hem and yanked the back down, the light pink lace edging dancing across my fingertips underneath my light pink gloves. My legs were encased in matching thigh high lace top tights with black-heeled ankle boots covering my feet. Deidara had styled my hair in a long loose plait and this was the only part of my appearance that I actually liked. I could have burned every other part quite happily.
"It doesn't look that bad, un." The blonde said with a shrug.
"It's a monstrosity!" I shot back, eyeing my reflection in embarrassment.
He waved a hand at me flippantly, a pink tongue flashing at me from one of the mouths.
"Get over it, the more fuss you make, the closer I am to dragging you from the room, willing or not. Now come on, Pein is waiting for us. He wants you to start work right away, un." He said in a commanding manner, capturing my wrist on his way towards the door.
"This is embarrassing…" I whimpered holding down the back of my skirt with my free hand, stumbling along after him.
'No more embarrassing than what you did for a living, un." He commented.
Touché.
He turned his head and grinned at me.
"Well, that certainly silenced you, un."
I averted my eyes away from his face, an angry flush settling into my cheeks. He turned his head away, a triumphant smile gracing his lips. I watched the carpet disappear under my heeled feet, the back of my thighs bumping against my hand as I stumbled ungracefully through a doorless doorway behind Deidara. I lifted my eyes from the floor and let the golden orbs wander around the room. Judging from the sight of the multiple fridges lining the wall and marble top counter with a stovetop set into it, this was the kitchen. Row upon row of frightingly sharp knives lined the black wall next to the fridges confirming my judgement. A large oak table with heavy looking matching oak chairs was occupied by a few of the men whom I recognised from the bar. Some were playing poker while the rest were engrossed in a programme playing on the plasma TV screen set into the red wall on the far side of the room. A large sheet of paper (or was it several stapled together?) tacked to a corkboard captured my attention. I tried to read the writing but it was too small for my eyes to make out from the distance I was standing at.
I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to know what secrets the paper held.
"Leader, Solaris is ready for work, un." Deidara called out across the room, attracting not only the attention of the orange haired leader, but everyone else in the room.
'Master' slid around in his chair to face us, a block of what I thought to be an open packet of chocolate sitting on the table in front of him. I eyed the chocolate hungrily.
I hadn't eaten anything since Monday before work and that had only been a banana.
My stomach grumbled loudly through my clothing, signalling its desire to be filled with something. 'Master' picked up the bar and waved it in my direction.
"Hungry Solaris?" he questioned, a knowing smirk flashing over his lips.
I nodded, my eyes following the bar as he waved it.
"Would you like some?"
I nodded again.
"Use your manners Solaris. Don't be so rude." He scolded in a mocking voice.
"Yes…uh…Master."
"Good girl."
He broke a piece of and flicked it my way. I latched onto the piece with the hand that was not occupied with the back of the skirt and sunk my teeth into it eagerly, the soft caramel filling oozing over my lip and onto my chin messily. I quickly wiped it up with my index finger and stuck it my mouth. I noticed the men's eyes on me
"The uniform looks good on you." 'Master' commented. "But you must leave the back of your skirt alone, you'll stretch the material."
"It's too short for me." I said around my finger.
"It's supposed to be that way. Now, drop it." He said rising to his feet.
He took a single step forward and I dropped it hurriedly but most certainly in reluctance. I didn't really want to make him angry after the earlier events of the morning. Or whatever time it had been that he had set Hidan on me.
"Good, now follow me." he said wandering over to the lengthy list. "Many jobs have seemed to just flood the list since the last maid perished."
I edged over and gaped at the seemingly endless list of jobs on the list, my now caramel free finger slipping from my mouth. I scanned the first five from the bottom up.
5. Clean out basement
4. Wash Sasori's car
3. Clean out Kisame's aquarium
2. Do the laundry
These jobs seemed easy enough but it was the very first job at the top of the list that made panic flit through my chest.
1. Clean Hidan's room.
"Do all the jobs on the list and new ones will be added on when ever someone needs a job to be done. You will start from the to-"
"Can I skip the first job please Master?" I interrupted in a pitiful, pleading tone, my eyes at the floor.
He turned to me and flicked his hand towards me, causing me to flinch away. He gripped the snow-white plait that draped over my shoulder and pulled backwards hard, causing tears to form in the corners of my eyes. His rippled eyes held contact with my tear filled ones. He shot me a hard stare. I shrunk away, frightened by his sudden anger. I thought he had been about to hit me, I was thankful he hadn't though.
"All the jobs on the list will be completed. Whether you like it or not." He growled dangerously. "I don't care if you don't want to be alone with Hidan. You broke his leg so you get whatever punishment he dishes out to you."
I gulped.
"Yes 'Master'" I whimpered.
"Hands off of me asshole!" I shouted at him on the inside.
Of course, I would never say that to his face, he'd probably kill me in a split second.
Not that it was going to matter. I was probably going to be maimed seriously by Hidan, or worse, killed by him as soon as I was left alone with him.
I could only hope that Hidan was either not in a killing mood or had forgiven me for breaking his leg.
Unfortunately for me, both options seemed very unlikely…
