One week time leap in this chapter!


Chapter 8

Since Itachi would not let me leave his room, the only thing I could to was waiting and working on my escape plan.

In the following days I used every minute of my time to check this place for ways to escape.

The problem was that this building had absolutely no windows and I had no idea where the main entrance was. The only thing I noticed was the ventilation shafts in almost everyone of the members' chambers, high up on the walls. The next problem was that as soon as they left their chambers, they locked it. So my goal would be to steal a key from an S-rank criminal unnoticed while being under constant supervision by at least one of them and then manage to escape through one of those shafts.

Sounds viable? Absolutely.

I sighted.

"What's wrong, Ena-chaan~", asked the masked guy known as Tobi who sat next to me on the couch. He sometimes scared me a little with his childish behavior but most of the time he was really nice. He (and Itachi maybe) were the only ones that have helped me feel a bit more comfortable in this week I have been here so far.

In that week I learned a lot about this organization called Akatsuki and their goal to extract all nine Tailed Beasts from their Jinchurikis in order to obtain a quite powerful *weapon*. But I have not understood yet where I would take place in all of this. They won't tell me which probably meant that my part in this won't be too much fun. The fact they already had eight Tailed Beasts wasn't good news. I had to escape soon.

"Ena-chan?", Tobi asked again, shaking me.

I jumped, being pulled back into reality.

"Sorry" I rubbed my head "I was absorbed in thoughts.."

He stared at me wide eyed.

"Is Ena-chan worried about something?"

"No, I'm fine", I lied.

"Mhh..." He took my hand. "Does Ena-chan want to go to Tobi's room? They can play there!"

He really was like a little boy. How did such a person end up with those bad people? Maybe he was powerful and that's enough to be forced to live here...

I nodded. In his room I would be safe from the others.

Tobi squeaked with joy and guided me to his room. To my surprise he locked the door behind us. Maybe it was part of the game still I couldn't help but feel a little nervous about this. At least he left the key in the key hole.

"Now we start playing" His sudden sinister voice made me jump.

"What's wrong, Ena-chan?", he asked in his child voice again like he also had a few minutes before. "Did something scare you?"

I stepped back from him, closer to the door.

Fear accumulated inside me. Something was not right with this guy, and I didn't want to know what it was.

"Well... what does Ena-chan want to play..." He turned around and rooted for something inside a wooden case.

Now that he could not see me I reached behind my back, searching for the key he left there earlier. Luckily I found it quickly and was about to unlock the door but the key did not turn around. Instead it made a loud noise. Shit.

Tobi turned around and even though he wore a mask, I knew he was pissed.

"Oh" He chuckled with his now deep voice "I don't think so"

A millisecond later he stood one inch away from me and reached over to grab my hand holding the key. He pulled it up and ripped the key out of my hand. I gasped as he stepped closer, squeezing me to the door. With his one eye, which was glowing red by now, he looked down at me.

"And with that you've just limited your game choice to two games. So, decide: You want me to be really nice or really bad? It's your choice..."


Important note!

The next chapter is one of the reasons why I decided to give this an M rating... So if your younger than 17 or don't really like the content of M rated fanfictions, you might wanna skip the next chapter. Don't worry, I will post a little summary (around 3 sentences) right at the beginning of chapter 10.
