Chapter 7

After a hearty 9 hours sleep I awake at 6:45am only able to gaze around the room weakly at this point, my vision appears blurred. That can't be good. Before I had gone to bed I had thought that the puffy sheets and the plump pillows would be comfortable and sure enough they were, I think the pillows were feather and the duvet was as well. It was so comfy I fell asleep last night as soon as my head touched the pillow which is an extremely rare occurrence for me!

Behind me soft sun light beams in from the grand window, previously shaded with cranberry curtains…pause, they should still be drawn! Kayleigh asleep, check. Me still in bed, check.

Click.

A small sound emanates from behind me, shuffling around I see the bathroom door handle turning. My heart beats wildly wanting to escape from its prison of ribs; dizziness overcomes my senses as it opens. I'm knocked backwards by a large attacking force dressed in an orange lollipop mask. It's Tobi. Unfortunately a mini scream escaped from my lips before I realized it was him so hopefully Hidan did not hear or Tobi's in trouble! Some of the feathers from the pillow are stuck in his hair, and some are even in the eyehole of his mask, how can you shout at that?

"Tobi, what are you doing?" I chuckle

"Well Tobi couldn't wait for Abi-kawaii's lesson today so Tobi thought he'd come and see Abi-kawaii before it!"

"Tobi, it's only quarter to seven, and our lesson is only at half past eight! Why did you mess with my stuff? Look there is clothes everywhere!"

Looking for the first time at the floor I see my dress, my 10 pairs of trousers and umpteen tops littering the floor with a final chosen pair of black jeans and my red Waiwurrie T-shirt at the end of the bed.

"Well Tobi thought he could spend more time with Abi-kawaii if she could get ready faster, so I got everything ready for you. But Tobi made a bit of a mess while he did it so you will take longer now."

"Not really, if you put everything away while I get showered then it will be the same time."

"OK!" Tobi whirls around the room picking up all of the tops; unfortunately he kicked Kayleigh's bed in the process.

"Tobi be careful of Kayleigh!"

"Yes Ma'am!" still with much vigor he tidied the room, I looked on with amazement as the whole mess disappears in the space of 2 minutes.

Tobi shoves me into the bathroom with a large red fluffy towel, well at least he's trying I think to myself. Cold creeps into me from the tiles on the floor. I realize I sigh a lot but I sigh as I get myself ready, after all…it is early in the morning.

Five minutes later I emerge from the bathroom, red towel trailing on the floor behind me; it looks a bit like a Kings robe. Tobi is still there sitting patiently on the bed, playing with a pair of strawberry knickers, WHOA! I rush over to him and snatch them up from him. I know he's only Tobi but so much embarrassment, like what Hidan did last night with my SpongeBob stuff. Hmmm I wonder where my stalker is today then. Although you can't see Tobi's face his eye is watering, oh no he's not crying is he? Think fast Abi!

"Tobi? Are you alright? Please don't cry it's just these aren't really a plaything…you get me right?"

"Tobi just—just liked the little lacy bit" he sniffles

"That's fine for you to like them but you don't go around touching girls underwear! So I would like you to do me a job please, go and set the paper up in the classroom please." I smile at him while ushering him out of the room, as he still looks a tad miserable I gave Tobi a swift hug he brightened up after that.

I pick out a green Vans t-shirt and a pair of old black combats for today, nothing glamorous. Mind you I don't really have anything glamorous! I notice Hidans scythe still lodged into my wardrobe, grabbing it I try with all my might (which isn't much) to pull it out of the wood, it wiggles a bit that's all. I'll have to get Kisame in a bit later to remove it. Clumsily climbing into my clothes I accidentally knock Kayleigh's bed. Thinking that she should wake up now anyway I shake the mound under the covers, after several seconds of UN responsiveness I flip off the covers. She's not there. What the fudge? Panic soon begins to rise inside me, like a sickness, I finish getting ready and start to search the bedroom thoroughly. No sign of life.

Dashing out of the room and down the corridor, white hair streaming behind me like foam on a river, I try to find her incase she'd gotten lost in the compound! What if she's found a mad experiment!? What if she's been tested on for a mad experiment?! I need to find a mass of people…changing course to the living room I let a string of obscenities run out of my mouth. Hey I am in crisis here!

"Dei Dei! Hidan! Kisame! Zetzu!" I cry, a muffled response came from the kitchenette so I continue my full speed running into it, looking (no doubt) as if I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards.

"We're here, whoa, what happened to you?" Kisame inquires pointing to a gash on my arm…I have a gash on my arm?! Whoa. So I do. Lolage.

"I can't find Kayleigh have any of you seen her?" I gasp in between bouts of rugged breaths

"YES," Zetzu begins "We took her home, she didn't want to be here, of course we erased her memories first" his white half finishes

"Oh thank GOD! I was nearly dying of worry here. Thanks guys. How are you all today by the way?"

I browse the cupboards in the kitchen, all empty and what little food is there I don't even like. Wow I'm in for a really crap breakfast today, aside the boxes of wheat crap I find a single box of pocky. My luck has changed I think as I check the sell by date, still in date! The pink packaging signaling a deep hunger that's been bedded in me since yesterday, its strawberry flavor…my favorite.

"I'm fine un. I hope you aren't thinking of eating that pocky because it's Itachi's UN." Dei Dei smirks' knowing full well that if I know its Itachi's I will eat it in double quick time.

"Is it now…yeah I'm still gonna eat it, after all finders keepers." Chuckling I open the packet smelling the sweet chocolate strawberry smell, it's gorgeous

"I'm fine too, if you wanted to know honey pie." Hidan whispers smoothly

"That's great that you're all fine, now I must be away much in the manner of superwoman." I giggle at the blank expressions on their faces but before I could turn to leave they all grab me, making me gasp a little after all it was unexpected, nothing to do with the fact four handsome/kind guys just grabbed me…cough…cough.

"Not so fast little Miss Sensei, your swimsuit is ready and you are going to try it on!" Kisame growls

"But I could just do that after my pocky!" I whimper, sad at the loss of my breakfast time

"No, you're gonna try it on before lessons UN." Dei Dei instructs

"Fine." Huffing and puffing I'm taken into Dei Dei's room where I'm presented with a black box wrapped up with silver ribbon, supposedly the swimsuit.

Ahead of me lies the bathroom, one side of me is enthralled by the gift but the other is absolutely nervous about what it's going to look like. With shuddering fingers I undo the ribbon on the box, the rough texture scratching me slightly as it falls away I lift the lid of the container. Wow. It's so awesomely cool, lifting it up I see the shimmering chains fall and glisten around the costume, the black material and much to my amazement (and horror!) there were several slits where the chains are. Quickly I put the suit on seeing how it fit's, it's perfect and even better the slits are no where private!

"Come on Abi-kawaii!" Hidan yells "I want to see you in this!"

"I'm coming." As I reach the door knob my courage deserts me for a fleeting second, however checking my appearance in a mirror I deem myself semi-presentable

I thrust open the door so I could not flee back into the deep recesses of the bathroom, looking around the four guys stood in the room I see agape jaws…surely it's not that good? A blush creeps onto my cheeks; I can feel the heat radiating from my face. Before I could gaze at the floor Hidan crosses the room and keeps my chin tilted up with two of his pale fingers. He quickly places a kiss on each cheek, withdrawing from me smiling gently.

"Abi-kawaii un! You look gorgeous like we all thought you would UN." Dei Dei looks around me seeing how well the swimsuit fits, seemingly happy with his handiwork he withdraws.

"You don't need me to tell you how beautiful you are." Hidan smiles standing behind me now, scythe ready to do some serious damage if it has to

"WELL I HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU ARE YUMMY. Don't say that you'll scare her! SO WHAT? SHE LIKES US ANYWAY. Even so, I don't want to frighten her away with thoughts of being eaten by us!" Zetzu argued but his point came across anyway

"Well, I am certainly looking forward to swimming with you tomorrow some you and me time if you get my drift." Kisame smiles showing his pearly white teeth, even if they are slightly pointed

"Don't be getting any ideas!" Hidan warns waving his scythe in Kisame's direction

"Too late, already have." Kisame sneers

"Well get rid of them!" Hidan growls

"Stop it you two you're scaring Abi-kawaii, get over your egos and go do something useful UN." Dei Dei bristles with pride over his creation and the attention it's receiving once again I'm ushered into the bathroom to get changed, thankfully my clothes from before are still warm!

Detecting a commotion outside of the bathroom I quickly hurry up with redressing myself, my hand grasps the handle and twists, the door now opening I see the scene I was imagining. Tobi had come in looking for me instead he found the boys wandering around in the room; he must have gotten upset because he's missed my swimsuit fitting. Sometimes I wonder about the innocence of that guy, playing with my underwear and now sulking because of this. Fully emerging from the bathroom so that Tobi can see me, he suddenly lunges at me encapsulating me in a strong bear hug which feels like it's tuning me to jelly. As you can imagine…not a nice feeling.

I remember the fact that I have a class to teach in about ten minutes, I usher everyone out of the room and into the living room enrolling the members of my class to come with me to begin a bit earlier so they can finish the class a bit earlier, seeing my logic they follow me. I hope they don't go on about my swimsuit after all it is class time and it didn't even look that good! It is gorgeous though, Dei Dei did a great job, even if Itachi did help he didn't corrupt it too much…I bet the slits were his idea! That would definitely make sense.
