Hai thur! Chapter 7 of Akatsuki's new girls! εїз


Chiyoko's P.O.V.

I stretched and yawned. 'What I nice lie-in.' I reflected, smiling to myself.

It's been almost a week and we haven't had another mission yet. Although it's been nice to relax and train a little at our own pace, it can sometimes get a little boring. The Akatsuki, excluding myself, Ayame, Kamiko and Tsuki, aren't all that lively. Yeah sure, they're fun to be around and are great to train with, but sometimes, it's like they've forgotten how to enjoy themselves…

I stretched again and got out of my comfy bed, courtesy of the Akatsuki.

"Hm…we'll just have to remind them all then." I said to myself quietly. "Now…what to wear? I don't really feel like wearing my usual nin-clothes…perhaps I'll wear a regular t-shirt? With some three-quarter length trousers, maybe?" I rummaged through my closet pulling clothes out and making a mess.

I eventually decided on a red-pink coloured t-shirt and a black skirt that was just above knee-length. 'So much for the trousers…'

I dressed quickly and then went to clean myself up and put my absurdly long hair into its usual style. Just as I finished getting myself ready for the day ahead, a scream of pain sounded throughout the halls. It came from Kamiko's room.

"Shit. Kamiko!" I ran to see what the trouble was.


Ayame's P.O.V.

"A-Chooo!" I woke myself up with a sneeze. I wiggled my nose at the tingling sensation and then giggled. "What an awesome way to wake up!"

I shook my head at my own actions and got up to put on some clothes. My regular nin-shirt remained, whereas I decided to opt for a skirt rather than trousers. I observed myself in my floor length mirror and then proceeded to brush my messy bed-hair whilst yawning.

I did a few stretches before flopping back onto my bed. I landed with a soft bounce.

"So, Ayame? What to do today?" I asked myself. I turned over onto my stomach and propped my head up on my elbows, while swinging my legs back and forth, up and down. I began to hum quietly and tried to think of something to do.

"Train? Meh. Hang out with the girls? Maybe. Stalk Dei? That's a definite. Eheh…" I continued humming as before. I lay for a little longer, beginning to get lost in my thoughts. That is until a piercing scream, obviously one of pain, echoed about the base. "Holy crap!" I panicked and fell off my bed, landing with a thud.

"Oww…" I moaned rubbing my butt, the area that caught most of the impact of my clumsiness. I heard Chiyoko yell something and ensued to exit my room to see what the fuss was about.


Chiyoko's P.O.V.

I rushed out my room and bumped into Ayame. Seeing as my room was furthest from Kamiko's room, I should've expected it as a possibility that Ayame might also come to inspect the noise. She didn't seem as worried as I was though. She was also rubbing her butt.

"Hey, Chi, obviously you heard that, right?"

Cue eyebrow wiggling.

"Chi?"

I laughed menacingly. "So, uh? What'cha rubbing your butt for? Did you and Deidara try a new 'style' last night?" More eyebrow dancing. It took a few seconds for Ayame to realise what I meant.

"What? N-No! Of course not! Deidara wasn't even in my room last night!" She wailed, exasperated. I snickered at her reaction and was about to continue winding her up when something crashed against the floor and Kamiko moaned again.

"Oh right." I said, remembering about our friend. I ran over to her door and flung it open, my concerned mood returning.

What a sight.

Kamiko was hopelessly lying half on the floor, half on her bed in an awkward position. Head on the floor. Legs in the air. Broken lamp.


Kamiko's P.O.V.

I woke up at the sound of Ayame rummaging around in her room. I lay still and wondered why I was lying completely straight, still in my clothes from the previous day, shoes and all.

"Okayy…" I said, somewhat confused. I went to sit up, but stopped dead in my tracks. A searing pain shot through my body. My eye twitched and I stiffened up before screaming out at the pain.

'What the fuck did I do last night? Ahh! My body is burning and achy!' I tried to move again but like, really slowly. Like, really, really, reaaallly slowly.

Guess what? Epic fail.

"FUUUUUUUUCCK!" I whinged as I fell, headfirst off my bed, my legs refusing to follow. I broke a lamp in the process. More pain shot through my body.

The door flung open and Chiyoko rushed in, Ayame following casually behind. When Chiyoko and Ayame saw the state I was in, they stared at me for a minute, before doubling over and bursting out in laughter. I growled at them.

"Aren't you going to help me?" I shouted at them. I was red with both anger and embarrassment. It just caused them to laugh more. "This isn't funny! I'm in a load of pain here!"

I watched them laugh at my pathetic position and gave up with yelling at them. I sighed only to create a shift in my weight, therefore causing me to fall completely off my bed with a 'thump' on the floor. I groaned at the pain continuing to burn through my body.


Chiyoko's P.O.V.

I laughed at Kamiko's situation, as did Ayame who was beside me, slowly sinking to the floor in laughter. Although it was obvious she was in a lot of pain, we couldn't help but laugh. Her position it's self was funny, but the fact it was her own fault just makes it funnier.

'Jashin! She's gonna kill us when she can move again! Ahaa! Who cares!' I thought, also beginning to descend towards the floor in hysterics.

"Okay! Okay! Yeah this is funny to you, but it bloody hurts! Will you stop laughing at me for just one fucking second and help me out?" Kamiko complained, clearly getting ticked off at every laugh or giggle that escaped our lips.

I suppressed my giggles and stood up properly. Clearing my throat, I confirmed the source of Kamiko's pain. "So, you were training yesterday. Did you go over the top again?"

Kamiko muttered a 'yeah' and began sulking as she and I both knew this wasn't the first time this had happened. I chuckled and shook my head at her.

"Right. Thought so. Ayame, shut up and help me get her back into bed, will you?" I asked, an authoritative tone lingering about my voice. Ayame brought her own sniggering to a halt and nodded, standing up to help Kamiko.

"Back to bed? What? Why? I don't want to go back to bed, I want you to heal meee!" Kamiko protested. Being the medical ninja I was, of course, I was going to refuse her.

"No, Kam. You have to rest too and you will rest even if I have to tie you to this bed. 'Kay?" I asked sweetly, yet dangerously, giving her a 'smile' that would have Hidan quivering. Kamiko shut up immediately. Ha…I love having power over Kamiko. "Right Ayame, we need to lift her back onto her bed whilst trying to cause her as less pain as possible. Hm…lift her upper body back onto the bed and then we'll turn her into a more comfortable position." I ordered.

"Got it." Ayame winked.

Just as we finished managing to get Kamiko back onto her bed, despite her wails of pain and objection, Hidan, Tobi and Tsukiko walked in, wondering what the fuss was about.

"Nee-chan…what's going on?" Tsukiko said, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"Yeah, we heard screaming and yelling." Hidan said. "What's that all about?"

"Tobi wants to know if everything is okay?"

I turned my attention away from Kamiko to tell the three what had happened.


Ayame's P.O.V.

I noticed Kamiko was still in yesterday's clothes so I confronted Chiyoko about it after she'd finished explaining to Tsuki, Hidan and the ever energetic Tobi.

"Hey Chi? Kam's still in yesterday's clothes. Surely that's not healthy?" I asked.

Chiyoko furrowed her brow at Kamiko's appearance. She nodded.

"Yeah, we should get her out of those clothes; it's not exactly hygienic." Chiyoko stated.

Hidan piped up. "I could undress her." He said bluntly.

Bonk! Chiyoko smacked him on the head.

"You perv! How inappropriate! Tsukiko is present, damn it!" Chiyoko scolded him.

"Oww! What the hell? There's nothing fucking wrong with it! She is my girlfriend, for Jashin's sake!" Hidan complained. Chiyoko's eyes narrowed telling him to 'back off'.

Well this was all quite amusing.

"I wouldn't mind Hidan undressing me."

Bonk! Chiyoko smacked Kamiko on the head.

"What was that for?" Kamiko had anime tears streaming down her face.

"You should know better." Chiyoko admonished Kamiko. "Tobi, do you mind taking Tsukiko out, please? Go get her some breakfast or something?"

"Tobi will do as Chiyoko-chan said because Tobi is a good boy!" Tobi grabbed the perplexed Tsukiko and sped out the door to the kitchen.

"Hidan. You too. Out." Chiyoko said in an 'I'm-not-putting-up-with-your-shit' kind of way.

"Fine." Hidan said in an 'I'm-doing-as-you-say-because-you-scare-the-crap-out-of-me-but-I'm-pretending-you-don't' way. He left scowling, muttering something about 'I'll get my chance'.

'Quite amusing. I wonder how the rest of the day will go? Actually…I do wonder – Chiyoko's being relatively 'motherly' today. Meh. As long as she isn't scolding everyone all day, I haven't a problem with it.'

I and Chiyoko helped Kamiko into some clean and comfortable clothes and got her under the bed covers. Chiyoko then whacked Kamiko over the head to get her to pass out and rest. I would not want her as a mother. Imagine that? Being five years old and your mother doesn't read you a bedtime story to get you to sleep, but smacks you in the head instead. What a horrible childhood…oh! Getting off-track here. Anywhozal, Chiyoko healed Kamiko's achy muscles and injuries and made sure to clean and bandage any wounds. I suppose Chiyoko would be quite a good mother when it came to caring.

When Chiyoko finished, she stood up and stretched.

"Honestly, the first thing I do in the morning, Kam? Anywhozal, Ayame, shall we go and get some breakfast then?" Chiyoko spoke rhetorically to the unconscious Kamiko before addressing me with a question of food.

"Yup!" I said, perhaps a little too loudly.


Kamiko's P.O.V.

I re-awoke later during the day, at about one o'clock in the afternoon. I stretched my arms above my head and hopped out of my bed only to step on something sharp.

"What the-?" I glared at the piece of ceramic embedded in my foot. I pulled it out and looked for where it had come from. "Hm…what could- hey! My lamp's broken! How did- oh. I did. Nevermind."

I picked up the pieces of lamp that I could and threw them in the bin. I went to prepare myself for the remainder of the day.

'That's right. I was in pain this morning because I overdid it yesterday. Hehe…and I broke my lamp when I fell out of bed. Chiyoko had to take care of me again – I'll have to thank her.'

I brushed my hair and teeth and washed my face. I picked out some clothes to wear and went to dress in view of my mirror.

After my regular nin-trousers were on with satisfaction, someone knocked at my door.

"Who is it?" I asked, covering myself with the short and baggy, purple t-shirt I was going to wear.

"It's Hidan, bitch!" Hidan answered from the other side of the door.

"Oh. 'Kay! Come on in!" I said, becoming less bothered about covering myself up, therefore lowering the t-shirt. He was my boyfriend now after all. Hidan came in and sat on my bed, grinning at me. "Oh shush, you. It's not like it's going to be the first time." I said, a flirty smirk creeping onto my lips. Hidan chuckled.

"Yeah, well. So, you feeling better, sweetpea?" Hidan is so cute when he wants to be.

"Yeah, thanks. I guess it helps that I heal quite quickly naturally." I replied looking at the scar on my stomach from when I battled Itachi. That only took a couple of days to heal. I put on the top I had been holding and walked over to Hidan.

"That's good then. Wanna go get something to eat?" Hidan enquired, standing up as I motioned that I was leaving my room and so should he be.

"Sure, but then there's the question of what to do for the remainder of the day?" I said closing the door to my room and then walking down the halls to the kitchen with Hidan, hand in hand.

"Ah…what could we do? We'll all be bored out of our fucking minds if we don't find something fun to do!"

"Mm-huh. Oh! Tsukiko said she wanted to go to the hot springs yesterday…we could go today?" I suggested as we turned the corner and walked down yet another hall. I still hadn't gotten over how huge the base was.

"That's not actually a bad idea, Kam…but there's the problem of the hot spring's location." Hidan said, frowning.

"What about the location?" I asked. "Is it far?"

"Not far from here, it's only outside Ame – but that's the damn problem. Leader has it raining 24/7 at Ame so the hot spring is caught in the rain and it'd be wet." Hidan explained.

"Ahh…we could ask Pain if he'd stop the rain just for today. We should invite him along too. Also, I'm guessing the hot spring doesn't get very many customers because of the rain so it'll probably be empty too." I reasoned.

"It's worth asking." Hidan agreed.

We finally made it to the kitchen and I greeted those who were in there. A.k.a. – Tsukiko, Tobi, Ayame, Deidara, Kisame, Sasori, Chiyoko, Itachi and Konan. They were all getting some lunch, apparently.

"Hiya guys, how's everyone?" I asked.

Thwack!

"What the hell are you doing up?" Chiyoko had punched me in the head and now had a harsh grip on my ear.

"Owww! Chiyoko! What the hell?" I winced as Chiyoko began twisting. "Let go! I'm fine, honest!"

Chiyoko narrowed her eyes and released me to do a quick 'heal-over' of my joints to make sure I was fine. Then, she smiled and went back to doing whatever she was doing with Itachi.

I sweat-dropped at her motherly actions.

"Anywhozal…we were thinking…" I started. "We could go to a hot spring today?"

"Yay! Can we? I reaaallly wanna go!" Tsukiko jumped up and down on the spot excitedly. "Please?" She added.

"That's not actually a bad idea. I'm up for it!" Kisame grinned.

"Yeah, I haven't been to a hot spring for a long time…" Ayame pondered.

"Mm. So, who else wants to go?" I asked. Tobi raised his hand and was waving it around in the air. Seriously, if he stretched any further, his arm was going to come out of the socket and fall off. Anywhozal, Deidara, Kisame, Sasori, Itachi and Konan also showed some sort of wanting to go. "Chi, what about you?"

"Hm…are you well enough to go?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Of course, I'm fine. I told you. Besides, the hot water will help soothe my muscles…so it's a good thing!" I persuaded.

"I suppose you're right with that one. Sure, what the hell!" Chiyoko grinned at me.

I leant over to Ayame. "It might also get rid of that 'motherly' mood she's in." I whispered. Ayame snickered. "Hey, Konan? Do you reckon you can convince Pain to stop the rain? We were going to go to the one on the outskirts of Amegakure."

"Sure, Kam. I'll go ask him now. You ask the others if they'd like to come, while I'm doing that. In fact, Pain might even come." Konan smiled sweetly.

I nodded and ran off to find Kakuzu and Zetsu.

I decided to get Kakuzu first, since he would be the easiest to find. I reached Kakuzu's room and knocked on the door before going in.

"Hey, Nii-san!"

"Kamiko. What's up?" Kakuzu said, casually counting his money as usual.

"We're all going down to the hot spring, want to come?" I asked with puppy-dog eyes. Kakuzu looked at my expression and rolled his eyes going back to his counting. "Kuzu?"

"I'd best go to keep an eye on you and Hidan."

"Yay! Bye Kuzu!" I raced down the hall towards Zetsu's room.

On opening Zetsu's door, I found that he wasn't in there. 'I'll try the greenhouse then?' I skipped in the direction of the greenhouse. He wasn't there either. I sweat-dropped.

"Damn it, Zetsu! Where are you?" I yelled, irritated. Zetsu morphed through a wall.

"You yelled?" His white half asked.

"Yeah. Want to join us in going to the hot springs?" I questioned.

"Hm…I think we could. I just need to water Geraldine." The white half of Zetsu considered. "Do we have to?"

"Yes black Zetsu. Your other half said you could so you will." I smirked.

"Alright, kid. See you in a bit." Zetsu sunk back through the wall. I shook my head at their antics and made my way back to the kitchen.

'Hey, if Pain comes, it'll be all of us! An Akatsuki outing!' I thought, beaming cheerfully.


Ayame's P.O.V.

When everyone was ready, with everything they might need, we all met up in the living room. It turns out, everyone was going including Pain. Kamiko called it 'an Akatsuki outing'. Konan had also convinced Pain to stop the rain, thankfully.

"Everyone's sorted, right? We can go then." Chiyoko checked. Again. We seriously need to get her to relax, a.s.a.p.

Anywhozal, we left the base and headed to the hot springs.

"Ne, Dei-kun? Are the hot springs mixed gender or separate?" I asked, innocently. Deidara chuckled at my attempt of purity.

"I don't remember but I'm sure we could sneak into the same one." Deidara answered, smiling a flirty smile.

"We could…you could easily pass for a girl!" I joked. Deidara gave a fake pout.

"Aw, now you're gonna have to kiss it better!" Deidara winked, tapping his lips. I rolled my eyes and giggled.

"When we get there!" I promised. I turned my attention to the group in front of us. More specifically, the couples in front of us. Itachi and Chiyoko were making there way to the springs in a similar fashion as Dei and myself were. They were holding hands and swinging their arms whilst talking to each other. Kamiko and Hidan were having a poke war and tickling each other every now and then. Pain and Konan were walking side by side and Konan had her arms wrapped around Pain's arm in a hugging manner. They were both blushing, Pain more than Konan. I also noticed that Tsukiko and Tobi were acting cute as well. Tobi was giving Tsukiko a piggy-back and Tsukiko was playing with his hair.

"Ah! Dei, look at Tsuki and Tobi! They look so cute!" I whisper-squealed. Dei let out an amused 'hn' and squeezed my hand. I smiled at him and squeezed back.


Kamiko's P.O.V.

Hidan poked my side and I squealed, jumping away retardedly. Hidan laughed at me so I pouted and went over to Leader.

"Pain-sama! Hidan laughed at me!" I whined. Pain ignored me so I turned to Konan. "Konan-sama! Pain ignored me!"

Konan chuckled and smiled at me. "Now, now boys…" She mocked. I grinned and went back to Hidan, jumping on his back.

"Holy shit, Kam. Warn me next time!" Hidan said, half-serious.

"Umm…naah! It's much more fun to just jump you." I giggled.

"Kamiko!" Chiyoko had obviously heard that.

"Damn it." I whispered, looking for a distraction. "Eheh…um, hey look! The hot springs!" I yelled, urging Hidan to run to them.

It turns out; Tobi decided he wanted to be first along with Tsukiko. They sped right past everyone. I heard Tsukiko laugh happily.

"Last one there smells really bad!" She shouted back to us all, causing a few of us to laugh.

"Come on then guys!" Ayame said blushing and climbing onto Deidara's back and speeding off. Itachi and Chiyoko followed suit.

"Quick! Go Hidan, before Pain and Konan decide they want to beat us!" I insisted, excitedly.


Chiyoko's P.O.V.

"Aw. It's not mixed gender!" Ayame said. I cleared my throat to get her attention.

"Oh, uh…yay? It's not mixed gender?" She said.

"You bet, Ayame. Now go on. In." I ordered. Ayame dramatically dropped her head and arms and walked slowly through the entrance. I motioned with my head for the other girls to release their men and follow Ayame. All the while I was smiling menacingly. The boys face-palmed. I kissed Itachi 'goodbye' and left him to join the other sulking girls.

Once we were in, we were greeted by an elderly woman, who supposedly was the owner of the bath house. She showed us to the female changing room and made sure we were happy, wishing us to enjoy ourselves.

"Thank you!" I told the woman as she left. "Right. Get changed guys!" I smiled, not failing to notice Ayame, Kamiko and Konan's sweat-drops. Aw, sweet little Tsukiko hadn't a clue as to what was going on.

Once we were all ready, we made our way to the spring, four of us walking normally whilst Tsukiko imitated a dinosaur. Yeah, short arms, retarded walk and snapping teeth. What a sight.

I was too busy watching Tsukiko's dino walk to notice that Kamiko had run past me, dragging Ayame with her, and jumped at the edge of the spring. She threw away her towel before cannon-balling into the water.

"Kamiko!" I said, frustrated at her and Ayame's actions.

When Kamiko resurfaced along with Ayame they both grinned whilst Ayame gave the victory sign with her fingers. I face-palmed as they began laughing.


Kisame's P.O.V.

We heard a splash and laughing on the other side of the fence-like wall. Chiyoko had also scolded Kamiko for some reason. I raised my eyebrow at the commotion as I got into the spring.

"They sound like they're having a load of fuckin' fun over there" Hidan laughed.

"No shit." I grinned, revealing all my shark-like teeth.

"Tsukiko! Sit down! Or cover up, damn it!" Ayame yelled. Each of the Akatsuki members either face-palmed or smirked. Well, I think Tobi did too…he was still wearing his mask. Yeah. Anyhow, I decided to try and start a conversation.

"So, Itachi. You seem really talkative ever since you got with Chiyoko."

"Hn."

"Screw you." Itachi did it, yet again.

"Why doesn't Chiyoko screw him instead?" Hidan said cheekily but in all seriousness.

What happened next was both really funny but quite unexpected. First, Itachi went the same shade as the Sharingan and second, the fence collapsed. Like, the whole thing fell over flat on the floor. Behind it, Chiyoko stood with a fist outstretched to where the fence would have been. She was just as red as Itachi and I couldn't tell whether it was from embarrassment or anger.

"Hidan…!" She said, growling a little. Chiyoko stormed over to Hidan, and punched him in the face. Hidan was gobsmacked. Literally. I laughed at the situation along with Kamiko, Deidara, Ayame, Tsukiko, Tobi, Sasori, Kakuzu, Konan, Zetsu's white and black half, and even Pain and Itachi chuckled a little.

"What the fuck? It's not funny! It hurts!" Hidan complained. This made us laugh harder.

"Next time watch your mouth, Hidan!" Konan advised, giggling.


Ayame's P.O.V.

Once our laughing fit had died down, we continued with relaxing in the springs. Since Chiyoko had destroyed the wall separating the two baths, and her 'motherly instincts' mood had basically disappeared, we were all in the same bath, namely the men's bath.

I was sitting next to Dei, my face flushed as usual, but this time I can blame it on the heat.

"It seems we managed to find a way for this to work, un." Deidara observed.

"Mm-mh. Even if it wasn't planned this way!" I smiled. Deidara laughed a bit.

I made my mind up to rest my head on Dei's shoulder and close my eyes. It was strangely possible to do this without any disturbances. A.k.a. – Hidan and Kamiko. They were actually being quiet and well behaved for once. I opened my eyes to see what they were doing. Kamiko and Hidan were holding hands, Kamiko's head was on Hidan's shoulder and Hidan's head was resting on Kamiko's head.

'We should bring them to a hot spring more often.' I thought, thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet. I glanced over at Chiyoko and Itachi who were also in a similar position. Chiyoko was leaning on Itachi and Itachi had his arm around her. D'aww, cute.

Tobi and Tsukiko looked cute too. Although, I think Tobi was feeling a bit awkward. It seemed as if Tsukiko had fallen asleep and Tobi was trying to keep her from sliding into the water without waking her. Even if Tsukiko and Tobi had the minds of children, it was obvious they were getting closer by the minute. 'Best chum's' they were as Tsukiko had put it. I chuckled at the thought.

I yawned and snuggled closer to my boyfriend who gladly held me closer.

'What a nice day it's been…well, apart from Kamiko being a retard this morning and Chiyoko's motherly mood. Heheh.'


Kamiko's P.O.V.

We left the springs at around nine, after apologising for the damage. We also paid some compensation money, of which Kakuzu wasn't too happy about.

On the way back to the base, Chiyoko and Tsukiko were reminiscing about the past.

"Do you remember the time when Tsukiko fell in the river and we had to fish her out?" Chiyoko asked both me and Ayame.

I searched my memory and nodded happily, waiting for Ayame to catch up. I gave a shivering Tsukiko my cloak while we waited.

"Oh yeah!" There we go.

"I was trying to get the ball back! Someone decided to be clumsy." Tsukiko shot a look at Ayame who gave her a look that said 'What?'. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, never did get it back in the end…" Chiyoko recalled.

"Mm, that was my favourite ball as well." Tsukiko said, pouting.

"Your ball? It was my ball, Kiko."

"Nu-uh! It was mine!" Tsukiko contradicted.

"What? It was mine, it had my name on it!" Chiyoko shook her head.

'Are they seriously arguing about a ball?' I wasn't surprised by Tsukiko, but Chiyoko! I would never have thought she would argue about something so trivial.

"Tsuki, you probably don't remember all that well, it was so long ago, you know."

"What makes you think you remember it so well then!?" Tsukiko's eyes were welling up with tears and her mouth displayed a quivering pout.

Wow. She looked…so cute!

Tsukiko huffed at Chiyoko before turning and running off in the wrong direction. Okay, I didn't think that would happen.

"Tsukiko!" Ayame yelled after her. I realised that we'd stopped walking a while ago and the other members of Akatsuki were well ahead of us.

"Oh dear…" I said, for both losing the Akatsuki and now Tsukiko. "Oh, by the way Chiyoko, that ball was Ayame's. I popped your ball and Tsukiko gave hers to a monkey for some reason." I deadpanned. Chiyoko looked at me with her mouth in the shape of an 'O'.

"We should probably go after her, or she could get herself into trouble." Ayame urged us. We nodded and chased after Tsukiko.


Tsukiko's P.O.V.

"Hmph. That was definitely my ball! My ball was green with pink stripes! Chi's was red with yellow spots…I think…" I mumbled to myself, having gotten quite awhile away from the others. "Wait…did we even play with my ball that day?"

*Flashback Time!* (8 year old Tsukiko and 9 year old Chiyoko, Ayame and Kamiko)

"Catch, Kamiko!"

"Oof!" Kamiko landed on her butt after attempting to catch the purple ball they were playing with. It flew past her and landed in a nearby river with a splash.

"My ball!" Ayame exclaimed, running up to the side of the river to watch it drift away.

"I'll get it!" Tsukiko ran and jumped straight into the moderately fast flowing river.

"Ah! Tsuki! The river will drag you along, you idiot! Kamiko, Ayame, quick! Find something for her to grab onto!"

*No more Flashback Time…*

"Ah…so the ball was purple…that means it was Ayame's…whoopsie." I giggled. "I should head back now then, or the others will get worri-"

I felt someone hit the back of my head harshly and I fell to the ground unconscious. Although I had passed out, every sound was as clear as diamond.

"This is a member of the Akatsuki? Not really much effort…" Someone said.

"They can still be interrogated though. Good work…Naruto."


Yeah...sorry about it being somewhat late...again. You see, I got lost on the path of life...
Anywhozal, do you know what's really annoying and retarded? I do. It's my cursor. It has a mind of it's own and I have to stop every 5 seconds just to watch it spack and then stop working. I'm going to break this damn laptop in a bit. :P I've been in a Disney mood recently...what's been going on with you guys and gals? Well! That's all I'm saying for now other than thanks for reading and thanks to those who'll review this chappy. Also, love you! And, uh, yeah, virtual cookies all round! ;) Bye! εїз
