Chapter 4: Spots of Light


Random PoV

Nuru sat across the table from Pein, both of their respective groups were standing behind them. Noone seemed to want to make a move until Nuru notcied some of them members getting a bit fidgety and took action.

"I believe I can say for certain that you all shall be staying here correct?" Pein nodded.

"Yes, I highly doubt that not staying here would help us at all. If anything it'll only hinder us and our objectives."

"You mean figure out what happened, how to reverse it to go home and continue collecting the biju correct?" Once again the ginger Rinnegan user nodded. They seemed to be on the same level so far. Nuru sighed and closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them. "Then since this has been my household since a few months ago and I am techinically allowing you all to live here rather then kicking you all out to fend for yourselves, I would like some rules to be placed down and followed, is that acceptable?"

"Entirely, but depending on the guidelines of the rules, they may be edited." It was Nuru's time to nod.

"Rule one: Do not go in to either my room, Eris's room, Eric's room or the room that is at the dark end of the hallway upstairs past even my room. This rule is void only when told specifically to a member of the Akatsuki. Konan does not have to follow this rule with me and Eris, but I will not spare any form of punishment I can think of on any other member caught disobeying this rule. "

"Rule number two: Respect is a mutual thing, I only respect those who earn it but I demand it from others and if you don't like it get the fuck out of this house now. Respect and tolerance go together like thunder and lightning, I myself do not believe in any god and if one has an issue with tolerating different religious views do as I stated before and get out." Looks were given to Hidan but nobody said anything.

"Rule number 3: Killing is taken rather seriously here and I do not wish to deal with the court system since right now a rich, young girl in charge of a house full of murderous ninja will not go well with the greedy politicians, federal officers and jury. Even here we are not spared from lies, treachery, greed, all around corruption and wars. Exploding things and turning people into puppets count in this rule. Break this rule and I break your face." Some snickers were heard but once again nobody complained. "

Rule number 4: Stay away from our PCs and our laptops, we will know if you break this rule from various tests plus they are password protected and somewhat encrypted."

"Rule number five: Keep your identities secret, there are a few things you need to fear if your identities get out- fan girls/boys and the government. The fans are self-explanatory but the governments will more and likely try to use you for its own gain. You, who are not supposed to exist, hold powers even the most power hungry crazy person could ever dream of and even I don't wish what could happen on anyone."

"Rule number six: I will find a place for you all to practice more than just taijutsu, said ability can be practiced to a certain extent in my backyard. It has high fences and my neighbors don't pry nor are they ever home much, but hurt my garden or greenhouse and you'll have both me, Zetsu, Pein, Kakuzu and my boss after your blood. I use those flowers and other various plants for medical reasons and for corsages, bouquets and floral arrangements at the wedding boutique I'm employed at, I usually just drop my work off though and wait for feedback from my boss and clients. So I'm never usually gone much."

"Rule number seven: you break anything you pay double the cost. Some items are irreplaceable in both money value and personal value." Kakuzu seemed to glare but said nothing.

"Last but not least rule number eight: Don't question our sanity for there is none to question nor has there ever been any. It'll save you a lot of trouble in the long run, trust me." Once Nuru finished some of the expressions were mixed. Kakuzu didn't seem happy about costs, Hidan about killing and religion, Zetsu seemed extremely happy about me and my flowers, Madara (or Tobi now) was unreadable (friken mask...), Kisame only looked slightly put down with the no killing, Deidara and Sasori seem slight upset because of their art being held back, Konan I think was grateful and Pein was well...Pein. You can't really describe it.

"All the rules seem perfectly fine, now about the sleeping arrangements. Do you have those figured out too?" Again Nuru nodded. Pein was rather impressed, for her young age Nuru's mental understanding and detailed thinking is beyond most adults. Not to mention taking the fact of the kittens she saved just turned into an entire organization of S-ranked criminal ninja right in front of her eyes rather well.

"You and Konan will sleep in my parents old bedroom which is the biggest bedroom in the house but is farthest from mine. Hidan and Kakuzu will be sleeping in different rooms and not next to each other or even on the same floor. Kakuzu gets the room four doors down from mine. Hidan can take the spare room in the basement, if he cleans up what is left over I'll let him sacrifice non-important creatures down there. Itachi is getting the room two doors down from me and Kisame is getting the room three doors down. Tobi's room is going to be right next to mine since he is the idiot of the group and therefore it's not a good idea to leave him alone much. Deidara and Sasori can share a room if they keep they yelling and urging down to a minimum. Sasori doesn't have to sleep so he doesn't have to stay in the room if he doesn't wish too. Zetsu can either stay outside or in the room across from Itachi's." The Akatsuki seemed extremely happy with the arrangements to say the least.

"That is all, correct?" Pein questioned and Nuru tapped her chin.

"For now, in two days I'm going shopping to get you all clothes to blend in better here. Alright this meeting is over!" Several hurrahs and woohoos were heard as the Akatsuki went to explore the house or go back to what they were doing previously. Nuru walked in and sat on the floor, her back resting against the coach whom Tobi, Konan and Pein were sitting on. She couldn't help but chuckle as Eris, Eric, Hidan and Kisame started playing Left4Dead 2. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to relax, it has been a stressful day and it's only 10:57 am.

"Nuru-san, if I may ask..." Nuru opened her eyes to look at Konan who seemed a bit uncomfortable. "Where are your parents?" Nuru smiled, but it was a sad smile one that Konan herself was familiar with.

"Oh they died. It was tragic accident when they died on my 19th birthday but that's okay wherever they are it has to be better than here. I do wonder how they'd react to you guys though; even my parents watched and read your manga/anime. You were my mom's favorite and Leader-sama was my dad's. By the way you don't have to add the suffix to my name if you don't want to." Nuru didn't notice until she finished that the room got quiet. None of the Akatsuki was really expecting an explanation like that. "Anyways...Konan would you teach me how to make a flower like yours?" Konan blinked. She couldn't help but smile this girl somewhat reminded her of herself in a way. She moved from sitting on the coach to next to Nuru who took some rather good quality paper off the living room table.

"Sure, of course I will."


+TIME SKIP+

The most of the day was pretty uneventful unless you count Konan and Nuru somehow getting everyone to make what one would call a army of various origami creations. It was rather amusing to watch the feared leader of the Akatsuki make origami flowers and frogs same with the emotionless Itachi Uchiha and the zealot from hell called Hidan. No one was expecting Hidan to pick it up that quickly and he seemed to actually like it to a certain extent. While the group was admiring their work while sitting among the origami creations there was a knock on the door. The ninjas stopped everything and looked at the door like it busted into flames, Nuru just got up and answered it. It was her old piano accompanist and extremely close friend, Rena Walker. Nuru remembered that Rena had a slight crush on Itachi and was heartbroken to learn of his little secret and his death.

"Oh hiya Rena. I'm actually glad you're here." Rena was only able to give a 'Hn?' before being pulled in the house and the door slammed shut behind her. She was rather shocked to see what she thought were a bunch of rather detailed Akatsuki cosplayers. "Okay everyone meet Rena, Rena meet the Akatsuki!"

"Wait...you don't mean they're..." Rena looked between all the origami to Nuru and to the Akatsuki several times. Nuru laughed with Eris while Eric sighed an did his classic face palm. He decided to save her the torture and told her out right.

"Yes Rena, they're real."

"Hn?" And Rena faints.

Silence...

"I didn't think she'd do that..." Was all Nuru could say as she dragged her out cold bestie to the coach halfway before picking her up and dropping her on it.


Usagi-chan: Kinda short but sweet right? Well everyone meet Itachi's OC girl! Rena Walker!~ Very creative name right?

Madara:*hops over fourth wall* Oh yes, very creative but what is with you and practically making me a pedophile! D:

Usagi-chan: D-did you just HOP over the fourth wall!

Madara: Yes, I did. Now answer me Blondie!

Usagi-chan: YOU'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER AND THE FANS DEMANDED IT, I'M SORRY! ~

Madara:*Sigh* Please just R&R it may shut her up. Usagi doesn't own Naruto or any of the Akatsuki although she wished she did. Usagi is also going to bed now since it's 5 minutes until 2am. Good bye.
