Akatsuki hated every minute of the day. But time just seemed to pass on more slowly. The elders stated that the woman had to help Madara when he needed help, get him to eat their own homemade food, and get him to sleep (because Madara had a tendency to stay up late to work or train). Now Akatsuki knew she could fail the test but she hated not doing something to the best of her ability no matter how much she wanted to fail.
"Do you need something?" she asked in a monotone voice.
"Get the maid to bring me some tea," Madara said with equal amount of emotion.
"Hai," and with that she left out the door. As she was walking she remembered something, she could drug him to go to sleep and if he fell asleep then she would be free to go and they would both be hopefully out of each other's lives. Finally she came to the kitchen. As she entered she saw some familiar faces, some more than others.
"Oi! Akatsuki! Why are you here?" asked Kitsune, her closest friend.
"He wanted tea," she replied in her naturally icy tone.
"Why are you here, then? What are you going to drug him to sleep so you can go? Hahahahaha!" When Akatsuki didn't answer, "Oh, you're serious? Ok, tell you what this is going to be hard, but considering this is you I think you can do it. Just give me the drug and I'll put it in when I'm making the tea." she whispered. Akatsuki just nodded and handed over the sleeping drug; this is why Kitsune was her friend.
Soon after Akatsuki returned the maid returned with the tea. Madara though was suspicious. This woman is very clever, I wouldn't be surprised if she has connections to the staff here or if she did something herself. But there is no proof and she is very careful with her façade. I just have to look for one little mistake. An-. The maid cut off Madara's thoughts.
"Here is your tea, Madara-sama. Ummm…" he noticed the maid's eyes quickly glance over to the woman beside him.
"Yes, some for her too," if she did something to the tea, she wouldn't drink it. Yes I'll just have to make sure she drinks first. He noticed the maid still standing there, "Get out already!" he screamed. The maid quickly ran out.
"Hmff," could be heard from the woman; Akatsuki, he thought, beside him.
"Drink," he commanded.
Damn, I'm going to have to fight off sleep until he falls asleep. I can't hesitate too long I must drink now.
"Why are you so concerned that I must drink first?" she questioned.
"Because you are the guest, and it would be rude if I drank first," he said through gritted teeth.
"Fine, but if you're intensions are to see if I did anything to the tea, then you are wrong, I would never resort to such low and disgusting means as to get rid of you," she expertly lied never faltering once. And with that she quickly drank her tea.
She felt slightly drowsy but other than that fine. It was a good thing she could hold her liquor quite well.
She seems fine, for now but I am not fully convinced.
"Aren't you going to drink your tea," Akatsuki asked. Damn bastard.
"Hmm. I don't feel like drinking tea right now," he said, a confidant smirk on his face.
"But that is quite rude, Madara-sama," she said the last part with a bit of disgust in her voice, Madara noted. Akatsuki knew she had to get him to drink that tea, and if it meant using low tricks to get him to drink, then she would use those low tricks. But which one? Let's see Madara has a big ego, has a lot of pride, and wants to be a great leader, let's use that.
"I'm the leader and I can do what I want!" he yelled.
"Yes, but a good leader will. I guess you won't be a good leader, let alone one the clan will bother to remember," she stated boredly.
"You'll see! I'll be a great clan leader!" he shouted even louder. How he managed to keep his voice was completely beyond her.
"Then drink the tea," she stated coolly.
"Fine!" and with that he drank the tea. It was only after did he realize what he did. Damn woman tricked me!
"Was that so hard?" she said in a monotone, but yet seemed to mock him at the same time. Madara soon noticed that he started to feel drowsy and when he looked to his side 'the woman'; he refused to say her name after what she did was looking extremely tired also. So she drugged us both, huh. Damn woman.
The elders right now were what you would call, extremely anxious. A few hours ago the yelling of Madara had ceased, and that was extremely unnatural.
"Do you think Akatsuki did something?" one elder asked.
"It's possible, Ryouk, she is very clever," another said.
"What do you think she did, Nami?" Ryouk asked, clearly nervous.
"Hush! If she did something do you think she would still be in his office because I did not see anyone walk out of that office!" someone yelled, obviously with high authority.
"Sorry, Tsubaki," Ryouk said.
"It's ok, I'm actually curious too," Tsubaki admitted.
"Why don't we check up on them," Nami suggested.
"Alright, let's go," Ryouk agreed.
The sight at Madara's office surprised them. Madara and Akatsuki were both asleep; Akatsuki was slumped against Madaras' body with her head on his shoulder and Madaras' head was on her head, resting peacefully. Though they did not look content in their sleep, it was still quite shocking.
"Well, well, well, looks like we have a pretty clear choice. Let's just wait and see what happens next. Hehehe," Nami chuckled mischievously.
"This is an interesting sight…" Tsubaki stated.
"I can't wait to see what happens next. They didn't seem to like each other very much," Ryouk said.
Izuna was very much surprised when he came in to report on what was happening in the clan to Madara, and was met with the sight of his brother and the woman he 'supposedly' hated asleep together in hiss office. I wonder if she drugged him? But why would she drug herself? Hmm… I'll ask in the morning and just hold this on Madara for let's say… the rest of my life and his? Yes that should do, sweet dreams brother. Izuna's face now bore an expression of surprise, amusement, and a hint of mischief. Yes, things would get interesting now.
