Chapter 4 - Monday's, you gotta hate them
Waking up, on a monday morning felt like I was hit by a truck. I shifted only to notice something; a bunch of fur in my face... I lightly pushed off the blue fluff onto my pillow. I had learned that Kisame would never be the last one to go to sleep out of all of them. In fact I know he was a cat when he went to bed last night so why was he a kitty on my face trying to smother me? Looking at the said kitten, I saw Kisame was still sleeping, sprawled out like a fuzzy blue kite in the sky. I smiled at my son's sleeping position, he couldn't have gotten any cuter…
I saw his tail twitch and curl up around my arm, his ears twitched with the sounds of my small laughter.
I stand corrected. He just got cuter. All of the Akatsuki are super cute as kittens. It's like death by cuteness. There is no chances of survival. With 100% chances of being a killing blow, I secretly wonder if my sons and daughter are trying to pull off a coup in my house. If they just blinked they're cute cat eyes while giving me a look of pure adorableness, I would cave and try to give them the world. But it's better if they don't know that… Working to get out of my bed I found that Kisame wasn't the only one in my room...in fact I think all of the 'older' member were in my room.
Kakuzu was sitting on top of my safe that was in the corner, his tail was curled around the handle with his ears twitching at the top where his head was laying. Hidan was sleeping in my black and red leather chair, his fur was standing on edge a little from his dream. His leg was twitching a little, occasionally hitting his face where he would try to bite it while sleeping. Sasori was sleeping on my desk with my latest wooden sculpture. His red tail was hooked around the head of the doll, his claws would try to sink into the wood every so often. And then finally I saw Pein was sitting up on a bookshelf above my bed. He was sleeping on a fallen book, his little head was laying on the over the bindings, slightly hanging off. And I think I heard him murmur and snore.
...The Akatsuki as Cats are some of the cutest thing I have ever come across!
But one must never say that to them…
Taking my robe from the hook, I softly and lowy vocalized for them as I left a note saying they could use my shower to change. As I left my room I saw the rest of my children were in the living room, waiting or sleeping on the couch. Tobi and Zetsu were sleeping on the two-seater couch. Deidara was sleeping on the back of the couch in the direct middle. Itachi was sleeping on the television, curled up in a bowl that was there for decoration. I saw Konan sleeping or at least dozing on the coffee table near the roses from the garden. They were an almost match to my beauty of a blueberry daughter. Smiling I vocalized slightly and left another note for them to say that they had been charged. I wonder how long I would have to do this...after all my throat is getting more sore every day. Maybe I'm singing too much?
Wondering silently on why I had about half in my room and the others were sleeping in the living room, near the front door, in fact. My head was getting to the point of hurting when I remembered what happened the previous day. The harassment. The feeling of being powerless against normal men while I had ninjas as my children. The feeling that I couldn't protect myself and couldn't bring myself to call for help after my incident with Hidan. I felt vomit rising in my throat, those men's hands on me felt worse from my dreams and nightmare from last night. I knew it was a dream but my imagination seemed to be in overdrive. It played the scene to the point from what if Hidan and the others didn't show up. What if they weren't in my life? What if those men came to find me again? I don't remember what happened after they showed up only that I was suddenly in my home again surrounded by my children that I love.
Heading to the kitchen I realized that I didn't feel like eating, my appetite was non-existent but I was feeling a more tired even though I had just woken up. Taking a moment to test my breathing, it was slightly difficult. I might be pushing myself towards a panic attack. I do hope the flu wasn't going around or that I wouldn't catch it. After yesterday's incident I don't think my children would be okay with me getting sick. Feeling my muscles I noticed I was slightly stiffer than normal for my mornings. Thinking for a moment I thought back 14 days, if someone was sick then I could catch it…after all it's take 14 days for the illness to mutate in a new person.
Ah…
The backup singer for the 4th song…Michelle.
Sighing I took for a moment to check for the rest of the signs. I didn't want to go to the doctor's office since she would be a little ball of hyper energy and I didn't want to deal with that right now… Feeling my throat, it felt sore and the more I paid attention to myself the more worse I felt. Sighing I moved to the pantry, getting out a normal hot chocolate packet and milk from the fridge, heating about a half cup of milk in the microwave I started to prep it. It was odd, I normally don't get sick. And right now I didn't want my normal bittersweet dark chocolate coffee. Sipping it. I sat at the counter thinking. Trying to think about what to make breakfast for them I put my head on the counter. Just trying to get my thoughts in order was causing a nasty headache.
Getting up on autopilot I went to the pantry with my drink and got out at least five different kinds of cereal. 2 sugary kind, fruit loops and lucky charms and 3 slightly healthy kind, frosted flakes, honey nut cheerios and raisin brand. Setting it up at the counter, felt my vision blur for a moment as I went to the fridge as I opened it, darkening around the edges of my sight. The cold air hitting my face was shocking at how much it hurt. Or maybe it didn't hurt but was uncomfortable. Yes uncomfortable, that's how it felt. Taking another sip from my drink I got the milk out again...I seemed to grab this at least twice and put it back without thinking about it. Going to the cabinets I got out 10 bowls and set them up along the counter with spoon for each.
Taking to my seat I saw I had an audience. Konan and Pein were standing there in the hall watching me. I smiled and waved to the cereal. I couldn't let my children know I was sick or worse give it to them. Staying at least four feet away, or as far as my kitchen would allow me to I finally heard my voice, like really heard my voice. It sounded hoarse to me, I couldn't help but wonder how it sounded to my kids. "I can't cook today so I left out somethings you eat give them a try and let me know what you like."
"Rei...are you alright?" Kakuzu asked as he entered and sat at the island. It appears that all of the members woke up and entered at the same time. They were wearing the same clothes they wore when I first saw them. I need to order them some clothes soon. And I still need to get the stuff for my garden. I wonder if the basement has any fresh mulch...oh wait...
"U-uh yeah I'm fine. I'll be in my studio if you need me." I said trying to escape them.
"Is Mother not going to eat with us today?" Tobi asked as he picked up the Lucky Charms, looking at it as if he was trying to figure out what it was. I'm pretty sure they had cereal in the Naruto world...right? Ahhh...I can't think right now… My head feels like a mess.
"No, Tobi. It would be better if I didn't today."
"Bitch you alright from yesterday with those men…" Hidan called me a bitch again… Feeling sick and now being called a bitch wasn't helping how I was feeling. I heard Hidan get smacked on the head as I walked out of the room, it was getting overly hot in there now. With more than ten people I guess it would. And I don't want to pass on my sickness to them. I don't have the proper stuff to take care of myself while sick. I never planned on it. I have the basic pain reliever but nothing to fight off a cold or the flu. Getting to the stairs I looked up with dread. I would have to climb them and not let the children know if I fall. I'm gonna fall aren't I?
Taking the steps slowly and carefully, I tried to keep my center of balance right as I got half way up, when my vision failed again. This time a little more than before. I still had my center of vision but the corners were going black each second. But none the less I needed to get into my studio so I could try and figure this out. Working the final steps I make my way towards my recording studio, silently shutting the door behind me, I set my now empty drink on a nearby table as I slide down on the floor, leaning against the side wall near the couch. Pulling the small and thin blanket from the couch in the corner around my body to fight off the chills I was now suffering from. Fever and chills… it's the flu… I can't risk giving this to the kids… I would be a terrible mother if I did. But I would nurse them back to health...wait wasn't Kakuzu the medic ninja for the group, any problems they went to him...but I don't want to get him sick. They aren't from here so it could be fatal for them. And I am not going to risk that. I'd rather suffer alone. Couching a little to clear my throat I felt my nose get stuffed up as the hours ticked by. Feeling the chills rack through me as I leaned against the wall in my burrito blanket, I felt even more tired than I should for this early in the morning.
After a while I realized that I was in the studio for a long time but I hadn't taken anything nor have I heard from my children. Turning to the clock I saw it was close to 4 in the afternoon. So I was in and out of consciousness for about 10 hours, since 7 in the morning was when I woke up. And I still didn't feel any better. I guess I should go into town and get some antibiotics. Alright everyone should be doing there own thing so it should be find. Getting out of the room and entering the master without my mind paying much attention to my surroundings I might have noticed some things. But getting in there I closed the door and started to change into outer wear that was presentable as well as a face mask for when I get out of the house. Packing away a box of tissues and the mask in a small bag for me to carry I exited my bedroom and walked to the stairs. Looking down them with a new founded hate and understanding for my children who had to deal with the steps.
Getting down them took slightly longer than getting up them. My balance was not great, I almost fell twice and blacked out once or twice as well. I noticed that I hadn't heard or seen my children since breakfast which was odd since it was the Akatsuki I was talking about. Getting to the front door, I grabbed my keys from the bowl near the hallway and the front door. Getting out and into my car I started towards the city for my personal doctor, who reminded me of Hanji from Attack on Titan. Her fascination with illness and breaks in the body, both physically and mentally, was very ...much like Hanji. Taking to the road I pulled out my phone to call her.
"Hello! Silver Beauty Rei! What's up! You haven't contacted me since forEVER ago! Oh we should really meet up! Ever since you moved out of your parents house I couldn't find you! That has made me so sad! We need to have a lunch date! Where did you go without me! You must have been lonely without me right!? Tell me you missed me my silver beauty! Oh wait, why are you calling me? You never answered that first question! Well, you didn't answer any of them yet! But come on, don't leave a girl hanging!"
Here's another I don't go to her for illness issues… Felicia was one of the biggest fans of mine as well as one of my only friends…
"Hey Fel… can I stop by the office for a check up?"
"Why? Are you sick! You're never sick! Oh my poor silverette beauty! Yes, yes you can come over! I will gladly clear my schedule! Come over whenever! Really! My door is always opened for you my love!" Felicia was, what's the words I'm looking for, eccentric? Sighing as I went to answer her before she would start again.
"I'll be sure to pay you for your services…"
"Well, I have this request, instead of paying me would you perform for me?"
"Sure, I have some...friends I live with that I have been debating on performing for." well it's true, though I wasn't really friends with them. I was there mother.
"F-friends? W-who?"
"Just some people I adopted."
"How many?"
"10."
"..."
"Fel, you still there?"
"I'm still your best friend right?" She sounded like she was about to cry…
"Yes you are Fel."
I held in my sigh as I parked my car outside the office. She was sitting on the steps, the third one. She looked up, yup she was about to cry. I got out covering my mouth as I covered up a cough. She saw that and the usual weird light filled her eyes at the sight of someone being sick. She pulled me into the room. Her dyed purple hair was lightened to a lavender as her ice blue eyes shined as she sat me down in the chair. The usual questions and one blood test later…
"You're not that sick so you're okay to be around people. At worst is that it's actually leaving your system right now so that's why you feel it. I'm so curious as to why you feel it when it's almost over for you...ah so can I requests two songs for you to perform for me?"
"Sure, after all I was worried that I was going to get my children sick. Thank you for giving me that peace of mind…"
"C-children? A-ah those ten people you're living with?"
"Yup, I treat them as family so in a way I adopted them."
"...oh." Felicia got quiet for a moment. "Ah, my Silver Beauty. You're so kind! I love you for it!" Fel shouted as she hugged me.
"Hey, I'm still sick so you shouldn't hug me! What if you got sick too!"
"Do you like me like them?"
"Huh? Hmm well I think you would be more of a sibling I always wanted than my child…" I said without thinking. Felicia was struck with silence before she smiled happily.
"I will be happy with that. I'll show up at your place later tonight for my payment. Kay my beautiful Silverette?"
"Sure. Come into the backyard where the pool is."
"Oh! I'll bring my swimsuit!"
"Sure thing hun."
Leaving the room, I felt better from taking the pill I had taken from Felicia. It was a strong flu kicker. By the time it was gone it would be time for me to give her my payment. She requested the last Cd Cover songs I did. Which was not shocking that was her favorite cd of mine. Getting home I felt the kicker acting fast, I was blowing my nose lot as it kicked it way before I was even half way home. Pulling into the drive away I threw away all the tissue I used, and before I moved away from the side of the house I washed my hands on the pipe that was near for the hose. Flicking my hands I saw that it was close to dinner so I needed to work fast. Best thing about kicker's is that they give extra energy so you can work it out of the system. Pulling a table out of the side shed and setting it up I saw that Zetsu was attending my garden. Bless him, I have neglecting them for a few days.
Waving at him with a new energy I set out to setting up the small stage I had. Well it was more along the lines of a large patio. Setting up the outside amps I had I went inside to grab a few things like the radio and cds with the music so I wouldn't sing acapella. Getting the outside I saw that a few members were looking around and others seemed to be a little hesitant to come near me…
"Oh you're all out here. Strange I would have thought I would have to hunt you all down later…" I stated with a smile. Setting up everything I went into the kitchen to start making dinner. I was going to make steak and potatoes with steamed seasoned veggies. Making enough I started to set it out on the table in portions like on a buffet table. I set up a cooler with many different drinks while setting everything up with plates and cups.
"Hey, Rei were where you, un?" Deidara asked, after being pushed by Tobi and even Sasori. It seemed he was the sacrifice. Like a sheep to a wolf...was I the wolf then?
"I was at my doctor's office getting medicine."
"Woman, why did you need healing?" Sasori asked as Kakuzu seemed to look over from where he was counting money. Where did he get that?
"After yesterday, it caused some stress I didn't need and I suffered from the ending of the flu I didn't know I had."
"Mother was SICK?!" Tobi asked as he was shell shocked.
"How did you not know you were sick?" Kakuzu asked, I wonder why he was so interested…
"I normally don't get sick, so when a virus gets into my system I don't normally suffer from them but when stress is added I get sick as if my immune system acts as if it wasn't even working. It's nothing, in a few hours or less it will be completely gone from my system."
"Was this why you were avoiding us this morning?" Pein asked as he sat on one of the chairs.
"Yes, I didn't want to spread it to any of you. I have no idea how strong your immune systems are since you came to my house nor how you got to my world. So if something as simple as the flu could possibly harm you I wanted to do everything I could to keep my loved ones from suffering."
"Rei, you know we are ninjas and can survive harsh environment." Kisame stated to me as Itachi gave me the Uchiha universal sound of 'hn'.
"True, and I know that. But it was something I don't want to risk. You all have my love so I will make sure you stay safe and healthy. Didn't I say all this the other day?" I smiled at the group who was now silent. Taking a moment to look up at them they all looked like they wanted to say something. The more emotional members seemed to be turning slightly red while the less than ones seemed to be hiding their faces. Even Konan was slightly red and no longer looking me in the eye.
"How can you say that so easily…" Itachi asked softly as he lowered his head.
"Very easily. I love all of you is that so wrong?"
"Very fucking much dammit! We are fucking criminals! How the fuck can you fucking say something fucking like that with a fucking straight face?!" Hidan yelled, his face was slightly red. I wonder why, all of them seemed to be turning red...I hope I didn't get them sick after all…
I smiled at them, it was odd as why they were turning red but still. "Again very easily. I'm being completely honest. I love everyone of you. With all my heart."
They seemed to go silent for a moment as my phone rang, answering it I saw it was Felicia. Thats right. She was going to show up for her performance. "Silverette! I don't know where you live!" She cried.
I smiled a little at her voice. "Remember that old house out in the outskirts of the city?"
"Yes….you actually bought it?"
"Yup and waiting for you."
"I'm coming! I'm coming! Wait for me my silver beauty!"
I chuckled a little and gave my goodbye. "I'm waiting."
Turning to the group I smiled. "One of my friends is coming over for her payment for seeing me so short noticed and giving me the medicine I needed. She will be bring her swimsuit though I didn't order one for you all I think I have some in the house in the basement."
While waiting for her I saw that all the members had gathered around the stage looking at it with a slightly confused look. I heard Pein tell some of the members to henge into a normal looking appearance as I finished up with getting the stuff ready. Hearing a car horn I smiled as I sat on the stage while I waited for her to show up in the backyard. Felicia in all her unnatural dyed hair glory showed up in a one piece from some anime that I couldn't place my finger on. But it was looking good on her. She smiled when she saw the table and the stage, I could hear her squealing from the stage as my children all sat down and waited for whatever was to happen. I guess they might be a little uncomfortable with how she might act to them. "Rei you really went all out!"
"Of course, you gave me free of charge medicine as well as peace of mind so I wouldn't get my children sick." At the mention of the word children Fel turned to the members of the Akatsuki. She frowned slightly before smiling.
"I see, well as long as I remain your number one fan I don't care!"
I smiled as I turned to the guitar that was near the corner of the stage. "You will always be my number one fan Felicia. Here is the first song you requested of me hun…"
Pulling up my guitar as I hit play on the radio to play the sound track. I started the beginning bit. "You might like this song Sasori." I said with a smile to my little Eternal.
"She says hey! wait,
Listen now to what I've got to say
I don't think I want it this way
We've become some poor excuse, a love that's come undone
And how do we get so numb
I wanna be in your control
So unmerciful
You can twist me and turn me, just don't let me go.
I wanna be your puppet on a string
Baby I'm not holding back, we can do anything
And even if I am crazy is cause you make me this way
We're as close to love as we'll ever get
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
So let's play the charade
I'm helpless like a child lost in the dark
And I need you to light a spark
It's a game but the same
I need to feel that this is love somehow
So don't disconnect me now
I wanna be in your control
So unmerciful
You can twist me and turn me, just don't let me go
I wanna be your puppet on a string
Baby I'm not holding back, we can do anything
And even if I am crazy is cause you make me this way
We're as close to love as we'll ever get
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
We're lying head to head and toe to toe
And we're body to body
I feel you beside me
We're in this masquerade
A beautiful game or play
It's so powerful with you controlling me
I wanna be your puppet on a string
Baby I'm not holding back, we can do anything
And even if I am crazy is cause you make me this way
We're as close to love as we'll ever get
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette
I wanna be your marionette, marionette, marionette."
I saw Sasori smile a little at the song as Deidara pouted that I had a song about his rival's art as I saw Felicia singing along, she had stars in her eyes as I performed for her. She smiled as I pulled on the last song she requested to play.
"Here is your last song before we go eat." I smiled at Felicia as I started up the recording, the bass and drums were loud as I got ready. Taking a deep breath as I started.
"Put on your war paint
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
He-here comes this rising tide
So come on
Put on your war paint
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched and make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Put on your war paint
[4x:]
The war is won
Before it's begun
Release the doves
Surrender love
(Wave the white flag!)
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Put on your war paint."
I smiled as I finished I saw Felicia was hyped up as she was bouncing in her chair, the sun was setting as I waved the the group and got down. Felicia ran over and hugged me as she said thank you over and over again. Smiling as I petted her head as I told them to go grab some dinner as Felicia ran to the pool jumping in still in her hype. I laughed as I grabbed some portion for myself. I saw that my children had some questions but seemed to be waiting for my friend to leave before they ask. "Hey Fel, be sure you take your clients that you booted today in favor to me tomorrow."
"Awe, I was hoping to stay the night."
"Sorry Fel, But that's too last minute. I'll be sure to give you a call soon though."
"Awe right...I'll swim a lap then head home, I do have work in the morning. Thanks for the treat love." Fel stated as she started getting ready to swim her lap, her eyes occasionally taking to the children of mine who remained silent.
Turning to my kids I saw them watching Felicia like a hawk as she was here. Even when she left they seemed to remain silent. As I waved her goodbye down the road until she was out of sight I turned to them and saw them in the living room, as Zetsu and Kisame cleaning up the outside. I smiled a little at that they seemed to be ready to help as I went out to see if I was needed for anything, but I saw told to go sit down and relax.
Heading back inside I saw that they all really were avoiding something. Were they mad about Felicia coming over? Were they sick? They're faces were still a little pink from before, I saw Sasori smile a little as I entered the room. This was confusing really…
"So why so silent?" I stated as everyone was in the room just sitting down doing nothing.
Pein was the first one to look at me, he shook his head slowly with a sigh. "That girl, who was she?"
"Felicia? She's my private doctor...is something wrong?"
Pein was silent as the rest of them. Did...did they not like Felicia?
"She gives Tobi a bad feeling."
"Yeah, she seems to be a little obsessive, un…"
"Well, she is a fan of my work so…"
"No not that kind of obsessive...like obsessive over you." Konan stated kindly.
"Ah...well, that's how all fans are really."
"She was looking at you like you were food." Zetsu said, it was in fact shocking since he hardly talked since he was here. If he said she was looking at me like I was food then I feel like I should believe them. But Felicia doesn't seem like the type to stalk...or was she? I'll figure this out later but first I need to let them know they don't need to worry over me.
I smiled at them sweetly as I spoke. "I'm happy you care but don't worry Felicia is harmless."
At my words seemed to get some of them to say that they weren't that worried, members like Hidan and Sasori. While Deidara was turning a little red and Tobi was jumping up and down since he was on a sugar high right now. Kakuzu was sighing while shaking his head muttering something like 'troublesome woman'. Kisame was sighing and shaking his head while Itachi was silent. Konan was also silent but she remained giving me eye contact unlike Itachi. Zetsu was just sitting in the corner next to my small tree. And Pein was keep eye contact but held an amused facial expression. I frowned did they really not like Felicia that much. I sighed as I stood up, getting the attention of them all. "While I don't see the point of why you all seem to be so hesitant about her, i'll be careful will that make you all feel better?"
Pein took a moment before speaking. "Only if one of us is with you when you see her." I smiled a little and nodded, Felicia was a little much at times but she couldn't be that bad that she made them worry about me, or was it because of what happened yesterday? It was the end of the day so I turned to the stairs and smiled at them lovingly. "IOt late you all can stay up but I'm going to go work on the bonus song for my soundtrack, if you need me I'll be in the studio."
"Speaking of your music, why do you have a song for Sasori's art, un!" Deidara pouted.
"Because she understands true beauty brat." Sasori started to say with a smug voice
I smiled and continued to walk towards my studio, no need to get involved. They had Pein there to keep them in check. I saw that Tobi was following me so I opened the door to let him in as he sat on the couch in the room. "So Savior, do remember what happened before you woke up in my world?" I asked as I picked up a violin to put away. I had to clean this place up a little.
"As far as I am aware we all have memories from after our second deaths. So after the war. Nice song by the way." I knew he was talking about the Phoenix song so I smiled. I nodded as I cleaned up. "So you're really a performer?"
"Not a performer, idol or singer is what I prefer to be called. Is that a bad thing?"
"No, just shocking that someone who would be popular is as you would be as giving as you are. Never really seen popular people being kind." Tobi stated as he went about just watching me clean up. "You're presence is somewhat soothing…"
"What?"
"Nothing you need to worry about…"
"Okay. Do you mind my playing a little or did you want to talk some more?"
"It's fine I'm just going to watch you."
"Okay."
Sitting at my piano I started to work out my practice song. Tobi seemed to really just want to watch me play as I played the song, when it was finished I heard him move around. Turning I saw him standing right next to me. "Do you want to train your voice to be useful in other ways than this?"
"What do you mean?"
"...would you like to be trained in the ninja ways?"
"I'm on break for my singing right now so why not. I won't be able to do much since I don't have much physical strength…" I stated with a frown, but he just patted my head, leaving his hand on my head. I had to look up to see why he was holding my head. I saw his mask way gone now, hanging off to the side of his face, his wrinkles didn't bother me as I watching with curiosity running in me.
"I know it wouldn't be a full time job for as it was for us, but it would help us be less worried so things like from yesterday won't happen again...if we weren't around…"
"I would love to take you on your offer Tobi…"
"Call me Obito."
