Amiee:Hello again, at least now the updates shall become more frequent again! Hope you all enjoyed the last chapter... I had to restrain myself from writing stuff from Itachi- He was in the shower!!

Sasori: Pervert.

Aimee: Not as bad as you. I've seen you're Icha Icha!

Deidara: Chapter 7: Hollow's Eve!

A day had past since the events at the table and Deidara and Sasori were busy scrubbing floors of the Akatsuki base. Zetsu and Tobi had left on a mission to the Village in the Mist and would hopefully be back in time for "Holloween" as Hidan had said before he and Kakuzu had left to retrieve some scrolls in the Hidden Sand Village.

"I'm hungry..." Sachi said to herself as she entered the kitchen, looking around; she realized there was no cooked food lying around and that Tobi had eaten the last of the coco pops...

"Does that mean I will have to cook?" Sachi pondered as she looked for any remainders of coco-pops. None.

"Damn... Well there might be a first time for everthing..." Sachi said, after thoroughly looking for another source of food. Unsure of where to start, she put on the gas and got a pot and put water in, leaving it to boil.

"This is what Konan did wasn't it...?" Sachi had watched Konan cook a snack the evening previous, it had been burnt but this is how to start she had said...

"Noodles!! That's easy enough I think!" Sachi said to herself, pouring the noodles into the now boiling water. Although, she put way to much in.

"Oh oh... Ehm... I'll share with everyone!" Sachi said, watching the noodles soften, she didn't want plain noodles, so she found some sort of flavouring. Curry.

"I hope this tastes nice..." Sachi said crossing her fingers as she poured in some flavouring.

--

"Sachi! You made this! It tastes good!" Deidara happily said, eating without hesitation.

"Yeah! It's so much better then eating Konan's burnt "food" all the time!" Sasori said, agreeing with Deidara.

"What Sasori??" Konan said, appearing behind him; glaring at his comment- he knew she had been within earshot.

"Nymph..." Sachi stared at Sasori for a moment, a small smile on her face; glad that the two were enjoying her food.

"Well, Pein and I will be leaving now." Konan said, grabbing her cloak from a hoook at the doorway to the kitchen. Deidara choked.

"Deidara-Senpai!" Sachi said, thinking it was her food, Deidara simply waved at her and smiled.

"You two aren't staying for holloween?" Sasori asked, asking what Deidara would have screamed if he hadn't choked.

"No." Konan said simply, earning an evil grin from Deidara.

"I know what they'll dress up as, un." Sasori and Sachi looked at Deidara, Konan tried to ignore him; she went to the fridge to get a yoghurt before they left.

"Pein, will dress as a devil and Konan will dress as one of thos maids- you know with the really short dress- reveals alot of flesh, then they'll-" Deidara was stopped before he could continue when he was hit across the head by Itachi, who had entered without a sound.

"None of you're perverted thoughts in front of Sachi- she's too pure yet." He said, staring at the bowl of noodles in front of Deidara.

"Here you go Itachi-Senpai." Sachi said, getting a bowl and putting the noodles in; placing it in front of Itachi, he looked at it uncertain for a moment until a pair of chopsticks were placed on the table in front of him.

"It's good." Sasori said, making Itachi even more worried, he turned his attention to Sachi, who wasn't eating, he decided to question her.

"Sachi," He awaited until the green eyes were looking into his onyx ones before continuing his question, "why aren't you eating?" Sachi looked at him seriously for a moment, before breaking into a childish grin.

"I've already eaten." Itachi nodded, and returned his attention to the noodles; he could hear Deidara and Sasori quietly sniggering across the table, he would get them later.

"Konan, it's time to go." Pein said, entering the kitchen; glancing at Sasori and Deidara, who nodded remembering their "mission".

"Oh, Sachi; don't be frightened if you hear any noises over the next few days." Sachi pondered on what Pein could have meant, but before she could question; both he and Konan were gone.

"Noises?" Sachi looked to the three who were at the table, Itachi seemed to speed up eating and Deidara and Sasori quickly rose.

"Well, time we start the mission!" Sasori said, stretching as he walked out of the room, Deidara close to him.

"See you later, un!"

"Itachi-Senpai, what did Pein-Senpai mean by "noises"" Sachi asked, sitting beside Itachi, immiediatly; Itachi felt unsure of what to say... Would she know about holloween? And what sort of danger to be a non-ninja on this occasion, living with Tobi especially.

"Where is Tobi?" Itachi asked, actually interested in the boy for a change.

"He went with Zetsu earlier, something about retrieving a scroll." Sachi said, Itachi rose; putting his dish into the sink leaving it for either cleaners of the month to wash.

"Hey! Itachi-Senpai!!!" Sachi called standing in front of his way, Itachi was getting annoyed.

"Sachi, stop vexing me."

"I answered you're question, now you answer mine! Please?" Sachi said, her voice pleading and her eyes full of worry.

"Well, it's nothing major. But, in here on holloween, the others play pranks on each other and they sometimes get incredibly loud- so... if you hear anything disturbing tonight, don't be afraid." Itachi said, shrugging at why Pein wouldn't explain to her in the fist place, he didn't want to explain everything to her. It would become a nuisence.

"Oh... okay."

"You're not afraid are you?" Itachi asked, stiffling the chuckle that nearly slipped. Nearly.

"Well... there is a cannibal, a plant an immortal man and a man with five hearts... so there is like no reason to be afraid unless Tobi has a bomb or something..." Sachi sighed, giggling, trying to cover her evident fear, er giggle became strained.

"Well, no that that matter has been resolved I'll be going now." Itachi said, turning the doorknob and opening the door.

"Wait, Itachi-senpai!" Itachi turned around, catching a threatening tear in Sachi's eye preparing itself to spill.

"What's wrong now?"

"Can I stay in you're room tonight?" Now that, was a question Itachi hadn't expected.

-- Because I'm a nice person I'll leave you there,

So far Itachi-Kun is in the lead!
