Lauren's POV
I woke up the next morning peacefully, my body surrounded by several sources of warmth.
Cracking open my eyes, I adjusted quickly to the dim light that peaked past the trees, which lined the back yard.
The first thing I noticed was that I was on the floor. The next thing I noticed was that someone's arms were wrapped around my stomach and there were abs pressed against my back.
Did I mind it?
No.
Did I care who it was?
No.
I am a hormonal teenager. I have needs.
My muscles strained as I tried to crane around to see who it was that had been keeping me warm when I felt something else, and stopped. It felt like… like…
I looked down. There was a hand resting on my boob… whoa, what?
I followed the hand up to an arm, and the arm up to face.
Closing my eyes, I sighed.
Hidan. It's not surprising really. He would do something like this.
His body was sprawled across the chair, head on the ottoman, one arm on his chest, and the other… well, you know.
His fingers twitched slightly and I looked up, seeing his eyes blink open.
Despite the close relationship I had with the Jashinist, I tensed up slightly, and his eyes squinted in confusion.
I glared at the ceiling.
Watch him do it…
He squeezed.
"Oh god… Hidan you're such an idiot…"
I rolled my eyes open and looked over at his shocked face. He immediately removed his hand, cursing slightly.
"Shit… sorry Lauren…"
I blinked. "That might be the first time you've called me by my name, Hidan."
He raised an eyebrow. "What the fuck is wrong with that?"
I laughed. "Nothing. Just don't touch my boobs again."
He smirked. "I bet you fucking liked it."
I rolled my eyes and flipped around, snuggling into the warm chest behind me. "Keep telling yourself that, you idiot…"
"Will you two shut up? I'm trying to sleep here…"
I looked up, recognizing the voice of my favorite shark. Said shark looked between us tiredly.
"Sorry Kisame," I apologized and hugged him, "Hidan was being stupid."
Kisame cracked a smile and held me tighter. "When isn't Hidan being stupid?"
"Kisame, you just made my day. Thanks."
"You're welcome, squirt," he replied and closed his eyes, falling back to sleep immediately.
"Fuck you both…"
"I love you too, Hidan."
"Yeah yeah, whatever…"
I smiled and snuggled back into Kisame. Hidan and I were like brother and sister but more perverted at times… or at least Hidan was…
…
…
"All right, everyone up!"
My eyes snapped open and looked to the hallway where Derrick was standing, arms crossed. Trevor stood behind him, facepalming.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Tess groaned and shifted from her spot on the chair beside Hidan, glaring at her brother.
Derrick stared at her blankly. "Lots of things. Didn't you know?"
"Oh, I know," she responded and dropped her head onto the armrest of the chair. "Trust me… I know…"
I propped up on my elbows. "But seriously, why the hell are you guys waking us up?"
Trevor stepped beside Derrick. "Because we're leaving in an hour."
Across the room Taylor yawned and sat up. "Where are we going?"
"The mall."
I groaned and buried my face into the floor. Taylor threw her hands up in joy, and Tess remained neutral.
"Why?"
"They need clothes, don't they?" the black haired male replied, motioning to the criminals spread throughout the room.
The Akatsuki all looked confused, and I knew I'd most likely be giving an explanation of what that meant once Derrick and Trevor were gone.
I sighed and sat up, Kisame following my example. "Yeah, I suppose that's true… we've got enough car space right?"
Trevor nodded. "Yeah, you three can fit all ten in your cars, but since we're coming too, we can space it out a little, so it won't be so cramped."
"Whoa, hold on, what are cars?" Kisame interjected, and I cracked a smirk.
"You can worry about that later, but right now if anyone wants to shower, we have two. We'll have to try and find you some clothes to wear that will fit as well… but in the meantime you can either eat or go and wash up."
I stood and wobbled into the kitchen. "You want food, go with me. Shower, go with Taylor and Tess. We'll show where everything is and how it works."
Hidan, Kakuzu, Sasori, and Zetsu all followed me into the kitchen, while all the others, minus Derrick and Trevor, followed Tess and Taylor back towards the bathrooms.
Our kitchen was pretty basic. There was an electric stove wedged in between a row of marble counter tops. Cupboards lined the top of the stove and around the sink, which was just around the bend, while on the other side of the room, books and papers sat on top of more marble counters, with cupboards resting under them.
"So brat," Sasori said and leaned against the wall next to the step into the kitchen, "what are you making for breakfast?"
I cracked a smile and swung the cupboard open under the counter top he stood by, motioning to all the boxes inside.
"It's called cereal and milk, and/or toast, dear Danna."
He rolled his eyes but reluctantly started looking through the cupboard.
"Bowls are in here," I opened a cupboard above the sink, "and spoons and other utensils are in the drawer next to the stove."
The present members of Akatsuki all shuffled around the room, getting what the needed, while I took a seat at the table, pouring a large amount of Cinnamon Life into my bowl.
Derrick and Trevor plopped down into the seats behind me, while Sasori took the seat across the table and Kisame, the seat next to him. Kakuzu and Hidan stood beside the toaster waiting for their bread and Zetsu was… actually Zetsu was just looking around.
"'Ey Zetsu," Derrick called, pointing a thumb back over his shoulder towards the stairs, "there's a pack of raw meat in the fridge down stairs."
The plant man look a little surprised, but nodded in thanks, and made his way to the stair well.
"I hope you know that was the last of the meat in this house you just gave up," I noted while munching on a spoonful of cereal.
Derrick glanced at me emotionlessly and flicked my ear, making me freeze.
"You don't eat meat."
"So…" I mumbled, pouting slightly, leaning in towards my milk filled bowl.
Derrick cracked a smirk and rested his head on the table, while Hidan gave me the stare of insanity.
"You don't eat meat?"
I glanced over at the Jashinist before looking back to my cereal.
"No… I'll eat chicken, but that's about it."
He stood there, mouth slightly agape. Even Kakuzu looked a little surprised.
"…Are you fucking insane?"
I laughed. "No actually, I'm quite sane."
Sasori scoffed and sat in the seat across from me.
"I highly doubt that…"
I rolled my eyes. "Shut up, Danna."
He just rolled his eyes back at me.
The toaster dinged and Hidan and Kakuzu took their newly browned bread out. As they buttered it, Trevor stood and walked over to a basket beside the coffee pot, rummaging through the numerous pills it homed.
"Here," he said a moment later and placed a bottle down in front of me, "you need to start taking them again."
I sighed and reached out to grab it, but the red head across from me snatched it before I could.
Sasori's hazel eyes scanned over the label. "Iron supplement?" He looked up at me, eyes narrowing. "You need to eat more meat. I will be sure of it."
I gulped and Trevor laughed at us. "You two are so amusing. You act like brother and sister."
I couldn't help but smile. It was so true.
"Funny," Kisame commented from the doorway, smirking at us as he and Itachi entered, "I thought I was like her brother."
I laughed and looked around at all of them.
"Well, Kisame you're my awesome huggable shark brother. Hidan is my perverted, sadistic brother. Itachi is my real, compassionate brother. Sasori is my sarcastic, protective brother. Zetsu is my cannibalistic plant brother. Pein is my fearless, responsible brother. Kakuzu is my money loving bro. Tobi is like my hyper little kid brother. And Trevor and Derrick are pretty much my real bothers too since they've known me for so long."
"I feel kinda left out," Deidara commented as her entered the room, rubbing his wet hair with a towel.
I smiled and kissed him as he walked past. "Well, since we're going out it'd be pretty weird if we had that kind of relationship too."
"True, un," he agreed and moved next to the toaster as Hidan and Kakuzu occupied the two seats next to Sasori.
Breakfast continued on peacefully. Tess, Taylor, Pein, and Konan joined us a few minutes later, and once everyone had eaten their fill, Tess, Taylor, the guys, and I went scavenging for clothes the Akatsuki would be able to wear out in public for the day.
"I think I found some shirts that'll work for Kisame, Kakuzu, Zetsu, and Hidan," Trevor called from the other room.
"I got some for Konan," Tess shouted from downstairs.
"And me and Derrick found some that will fit all the other guys," Taylor added, her voice echoing down the hall.
"Alright then, bring 'em here so that they can change and we can get this little trip to the mall over with."
Tess, Taylor, Derrick, and Trevor enter the room with piles of clothes folded in their arms, and I helped them distribute shirts and shorts to the right people. Tess and I pulled Konan off to the side to give her… undergarments and such.
We assured her that we'd handle the girl stuff during shopping time so she didn't need to worry. She smiled and thanked us before heading off to the bathroom to change.
Once the guys had gotten their clothes, they all went into rooms to change, sharing rooms with their partners respectively.
After a minute the first door clicked open and Hidan and Kakuzu emerged.
Hidan wore baggy gray sweat pants and a black t-shirt that read PARENTAL ADVISORY - I say "fuck" a lot. And Kakuzu wore a pair of black sweat pants with plain olive green t-shirt.
"Hidan, that shirt suits you so well," I commenting with a wide grin. He grinned back and kissed Tess before moving out of the way as Kisame and Itachi entered the room.
Itachi wore a pair of dark jeans with a black shirt that read choose your weapon with all the different versions of the Sharingan above it. Kisame had on a pair of black sweat pants as well and a gray shirt that read Looking for a bite to Eat with a picture of a cartoon shark.
I glanced over at Derrick and Trevor. "You have shirts that are going to match all of them, don't you?"
They both just smirked.
The next two to enter were Sasori and Deidara. Sasori wore a pair of jeans and a white shirt that read I am a Puppet. Deidara also had on a pair of jeans, but he wore a red shirt that had the words Art is an Explosion spray painted onto it.
"Once again, perfect matches."
Konan and Pein entered next. Konan wore a plain dark blue V-neck t-shirt and a pair of jeans, while Pein wore a pair of black jeans and a black shirt with the Akatsuki cloud on it.
Right after the two leaders came Zetsu and Tobi. The evil master mind in disguise wore an orange shirt that read BAD BOY and a pair of black sweats. Zetsu wore a plain black shirt and a pair of gray sweat pants.
"Alright," I stated looking around at everyone, "looks like we're all ready. So let's head out to the cars."
The Akatsuki followed our lead and walked outside into the cool fall air, down to the end of the porch which lead to the driveway where all our cars were parked.
The ten criminals all stopped and stared, looking over our vehicles which the five of us had gone a stood by respectively.
Trevor and Derrick both shared a 2010 dark gray Camaro. Taylor had her 2007 lime green Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Tess had her black 2010 Chevy Silverado. And I walked up next to my white with black pinstriped 2011 Dodge Charger Rt.
"This is my first time seeing a… car," Kakuzu drawled, "but they seem very expensive."
Derrick snorted. "That's 'because they are. All around 20,000 I'm pretty sure."
"Our parents are very wealthy," Trevor added, and the group nodded understanding a bit better.
"So I can take three in my car," I interrupted, popping the door open, "who's coming?"
"Well I'm going with Derrick and Trevor," Zetsu replied and walked over next to the said boys.
Hidan and Kakuzu both walked up to Tess's side and Tobi to Taylor's.
"I'll go with you, brat," Sasori said and walked up next to me.
"Me too, un," Deidara added and walked up next to his Danna.
"I'll come too, squirt," Kisame said also and walked up beside me.
In the end it was Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara in my car. Hidan, Kakuzu and Pein in Tess's car. Itachi, Konan, and Tobi in Taylor's car. And Zetsu with Derrick and Trevor.
I hopped into the driver seat of my car, Kisame sitting beside me in the passenger seat, letting the feuding artists sit in the rear.
Sticking the keys in the ignition, the engine reared to life and I switched to my CD, Sick by Adelitas Way blasting from the speakers.
Kisame and Deidara both started head banging to the music with me while Sasori sat there looking thoroughly annoyed.
I just looked into the rearview mirror and grinned.
"If you don't like it Danna feel free to leave!"
He just sighed and rested his head against the seat.
I backed out of the driveway, following behind Derrick and Trevor who had already backed out, and started singing along to the lyrics as we all made our way towards the highway. Mall here we come…
Hey…
I'm so sorry… I've just been so busy with shit. I finally got a life, and school was taking up a lot of my time, and then the weekend I planned to write my dad had a seizure… and then finals started. But now the new trimester has come so I have some time to write before my life gets hectic again.
So I'm sorry.
But in better news, I ended the first trimester with 3 A's and 2 B's. Which is awesome. I'm 1st chair cello. Just got to see all my middle school friends at the last concert. And have been having a lot of fun all together.
I hope you all understand. :)
Thanks!
The next chapter will probably be in less than 3 weeks, depending on how much homework I have. But I will be sure to type a chapter up over Christmas break. :)
Oyasumi!
Please REVIEW!
Beta: if you're like me, you're sitting here, wondering how the hell people will react to a goddamn plant and a freaking blue man just prancing around the mall… -_-
…That was my beta making a comment…which is why I usually write the AN after she revises it.
Love you too Anna!
Anyway…PLEASE REVIEW!
