Part IV:

Kina, Safia, and Usagi filed into the kitchen, leaving Elliott alone with the Akatsuki. (I know you're thinking 'bad idea', but Elliott can handle himself, trust me.) Kina and Usagi searched in the cabinets for glasses, while Safia fetched a bottle of sake from downstairs. (rice wine. Kina Safia, Usagi, etc. are of legal drinking age) Kina and Usagi placed out fourteen glasses just as Safia returned with a large bottle sake. Kina sighed dreamily, "that guy looks at lot like Deidara. It's almost unreal. His eyes are even almost the same shade as the real Deidara." "and that Sasori is to die for," chimed in Usagi. Safia set the sake bottle down loudly bringing Kina and Usagi back to reality. The girls fanned out in the kitchen, hunting for a corkscrew. "found it," Usagi called. She turned around quickly to be greeted by a bright orange mask. Usagi jumped back in surprise dropping the corkscrew. The other person bent over picking up the corkscrew Usagi had dropped. "Tobi is very sorry," he said holding out the corkscrew to Usagi. "Tobi didn't mean to scare the pretty girl," "It's ok, Tobi," replied Usagi taking the corkscrew, and flashing him a friendly smile. Tobi felt his face burn red when Usagi smiled at him, but luckily he was wearing his mask so Usagi did not notice. "Can… Tobi know the pretty girl's name?" he asked slightly nervous. Usagi grinned at him once more, "It's Usagi," Kina entered the kitchen from the basement. "Usagi-san," she called while shutting the door. "Did you find the corkscrew?" "Hai," Usagi replied as Kina joined her and Tobi in the kitchen. Kina's gaze turned to Tobi, "Tobi what are you doing in here?" she asked "Senpai, asked Tobi to help Usagi-chan, the blond girl, and the black haired girl with the drinks." he replied. "can Tobi know the blond girl's name?" Kina had her back turned to

Tobi, trying to loosen the cork from the sake bottle. "The name's Kina," she replied over her shoulder. She pulled a few more times, with out the cork budging, and sighed out of fustration. Then, an idea hit her like a ton of bricks. She looked over at Tobi, who was sitting at the bar counter quietly talking with Usagi. "Tobi-san, Usagi-san," she called to them "hai," they replied. "Would you mind taking the glasses out to the living room already?" asked Kina "hai, Kina-san," replied Usagi loading the glasses on two trays and picking up one of them. "and, Tobi," added Kina. Tobi turned to her when his name was said. "would you mind asking Deidara to come here for a moment?" she asked. Tobi nodded and took the other tray as Usagi walked out the kitchen balancing a tray full of glasses.
