A/N: Well returning to find reads already and a few reviews has convinced me to continue this and I plan to bring a new character in and get rid of Ciara... Yeah... but I wont bring in this lovely reader until next chapter. Time for some damage control first by which I mean so seriousness!

~Chapter Four~

I groaned softly. I could hear noises and banging and general kerfuffle and I had no interest in responding initially. However after a point it just became too much to bear and for this reason I furiously cracked open my eyes. I tried to move only to find I was bound upright, and I instantly panicked. I could tell I was sitting in my living room tied to a chair. I couldnt see my friends anywhere at first. The noise source became apparent slowly to my still foggy and sleep laden mind. Shouting and thumping... probably a fight and a hell of one judging from the volume and the fact that despite this I couldnt make out much of the conversation.

Motion from my peripheral drew my attention and I froze as a soft lilting voice reached me, followed by a similar but much harsher one. "Your awake.. About time too" I took in a slow look of tall green and earthy and drew on all my willpower to stay conscious.

Zetsu. I was face to face with Zetsu...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I silently screamed while somehow keeping my face impassive. THE AKATSUKI WERE IN MY HOUSE! Oh god! Okay so this might have been cool... except for the fact they were killers! Why couldnt it have been oh...

er...

ah...

...oh who am I kidding all my favorite characters are villains... or anti heroes.
I realized I had been gaping at the plant man for some time now as he stood there towering over me. And judging by the downturn of black sides mouth it was annoying him.

Well good.

"Why the hell am I tied up..."

Somehow this was the first question that popped from my mouth. Unsurprisingly Zetsu chose to ignore said question... and phase through the floor.

Okay screw the tough act I yelped. And I swear he smirked a little at it too.

A moment later the shouting died down and the rest of the Akatsuki filed in.
I tried not to laugh... really. But hey you would laugh too if you seen the full Akatsuki... decked in fluffy bath robes save for a few. Sasori was about my brothers size so I wasnt surprised to see him decked in an ACDC tee and jeans. Pein and Konan borrowed some of my mums clothes as well as Itachi. The guys wore suits (One black the other blue) and Konan wore a comfortable dress. For some reason Hidan was wearing a kilt (an old joke item I had bought once) and Kisame seemed quite comfortable in his bathrobe. Tobi also wore one and seemed super happy about it. Kakuzu... not so much. Zetsu had apparently been fortunate enough to find the only blue one... but it was a tight fit.

Managing to keep my face straight I leaned back in the chair and hesitated before focusing on Pein. I knew Madara was the real leader but... I had to be careful what I said about how much I knew.

"Untie me."

Okay so demanding that from Pein wasnt probably smart either. I earned a few scoffs and a shocked stare or two. Needless to say almost everyone was further stunned when Pein obeyed! "Thanks" I muttered, rubbing my wrist and shaking the feeling back into my legs.

It took serious effort to not fall over. My legs were like jelly and I was terrified but I kept a cool head despite the dangers. They're just men I told myself. Extremely dangerous criminal men... but men nonetheless. And one woman. Fuck.

"Right then... Down to the brass tacks. Youve probably already figured out your more then a few plane rides from home. More like a dimensional jump or something. And your only keeping me alive because you need a place to stay."

Further stunned silence broken only by Pein his ever so coolness. "And how would you know all of this?" he prodded but the narrowing of his eyes screamed suspicion. I had actually just thrown a wild fanfiction reinforced guess, but I played cool. "Im not as dumb as I look." Ignorong Hidans chime of "looks pretty fucking stupid to me bitch." I prompted Pein to answer or continue.

Reluctamtly he inclined his head. "Then you know who and what we are?" I glanced over them all and decided to risk a chance. "I know every dirty little secret including those you keep from eachother." My gaze lingered a fraction longer on Tobi. Long enouh to see his shoulders tighten and a tiny glimps of the sharingan. I shuddered inwardly careful to hide my fear.

"Point is you need a place. Unfortunantly I dont have much room but I guess I can see what I can do for now. Also..." I paused with a frown. "Where are my friends?"

Pein gestured to Itachi. "Memories of our encounter... erased." I breathed a sigh of relief. "I suppose thats for the better than... "

I took a glance around my living room and strode past into the kitchen trying to take everything in stride like I usually did. I scrounged through the cubbords, not so much because I was hungry but really just to calm my nerves. So the Akatsuki were staying with me... what could go wrong? Its not like I had nosy neighbors and family who would love to...

oh... wait...

I groaned and snuck a glance at them. They were just standing there watching me. Probably wondering about my sanity. Hah! Sanity? Me? NOPE.

I chuckled wearily and ran a hand down my face despite their stares. Or maybe because of them. "Well shit... So much for my own space... " I snickered and shook my head starting to yank things from the cubord. "Watcha doooooin?" I nearly screamed at the fact Tobi was suddenly behind me. Luckily I hardly flinched. "Making supper. Yall are hungry right?" I got some hesitant confirmations and started fetching food despite Tobi being right on my heels. I didnt mind the space invasion so much as long as I didnt think about Tobi as more then the surface expression.

I didnt even think about what I was making, my body was on auto pilot. I dug out some plates and told everyone to wait in the living room... except Tobi. Which I quickly wished I hadnt done. Being alone with Tobi was even more awkward.

I waved without looking in the directions of the plates. "Hey Tobi pass me a plate?" "Okay!"
I turned and jumped slightly. He stood like an inch away from my face, stooped slightly so I can easily see the sharingan glaring down at me. I froze slightly. Gone was the feeling of innocent childhood, replaced by the image that was Madara. I swallowed thickly and glared up at him. "Dont even fucking try it Madara. You dont need to say a damn thing. I have no intention of talking bout your stupid secret." I hissed, snatching the plate from his hand and turning back to the stove.

His cool chuckle crept across the back of my neck and I shivered. "What a... pleasant surprise... someone with a bit of common sense." He patted me lightly on the head and I shook him off with a scowl. "Well... a small bit at least." he added. I silently cursed him for having such a sexy chuckle and worked on filling the plates. I made sure to give Zetsu raw meat, and didnt bother getting food for Sasori. Tobi apparently ate his while I was serving because when I turned back he was rinsing his plate. I marveled for a moment over his speed... and the fact he was rinsing his plate. I puzzled for an extra minute and shook my head, taking the food over to the others. I got a couple of thankyous, one insult (guess who) and some general silence. Well overall the Akatsuki had manners apparently. I smiled to myself and grabbed my own food. "Sorry for the lack of furniture. Still havent unpacked everything and Im having some trouble getting the couches." I shrugged.

"Whys that?" I couldnt help but stare at Kisame a bit. Talking to a shark man... weird but cool. "uh..." I hesitated and stared at my food. "Well basically theres a big dispute since it wasnt mentioned in the will..." I shrugged again and took a bite. It tasted like cardboard to me. Ignoring the stares I turned on the tv to an episode of Under the Dome. It was a new series but it was really cool. We watched for awhile and I explained a bit about the show to the others. It was kinda wierd being like this with a group of strangers. Content. I hadnt been like this in a while. Even my friends hanging with me filled the air with awkward fillers. Nobody knew how to react to my nonchalance over my familys death. The Akatsuki didnt know about that however and somehow I doubted they would even care.

A/N: Okay so not much happened but eh, its something for now. Still not sure where Im going with this but Ill work on introducing our SECOND OC next chapter :) A shout out to all you lovely people. Im gonna start listing reviewers next chapter too :3
