Chapter 10 - What Is She Doing?

Sasori's POV

After Leader-sama dismissed us, we left to our own rooms, and while everyone else slept, I did what little repair work was needed on my body, packed Hiruko up, etcetera. This was going to be a two month mission, so I needed plenty of material.

I prepared for most of the night, until I heard a person in the kitchen. That was worrying. You may not be aware of this, but very few S-class criminals can cook.

I quickly left my room and darted into the kitchen.

"Oh, hey Sasori. Did I bother you? Sorry."

"Violet? What are you doing?"

"Well, Konan said we were going on a mission today, and I couldn't sleep anyway, so I decided to cook breakfast."

"Oh. What are you making?"

"Omelets, pancakes, muffins, waffles, bacon, sausage, you name it, I probably made it. You want some?"

"Sure." The two of us munch on the breakfast, her telling me about her sisters, me telling her about the Akatsuki.

Kisame came in the kitchen next. Violet smiled at him, and chirped happily, "Good morning Nemo!" He, not being a morning person, grumbled at the name and laid his head on his arms. Violet got him a plate and a cup of coffee, then got another one ready as Lyana came in.

"Morning Lyana!" Violet lead the blue-haired girl to the seat next to Kisame, and sat the coffee and food in front of her. I've never met anyone who was that much of a morning person before Violet.

We heard a few crashes. Verity and Lilia were the next to come in, Verity supporting Lilia, who I'm guessing was the source of the crashes. Verity reached over and picked most of the bacon up, and Lilia took the rest of it.

Next to walk in was Deidara and Eta. Eta grabbed a pancake, and Deidara reached for it, but she spun, her black hair flaring out and hitting Verity in the head, and bit his outstretched arm.

Laughing at her twin's antics, Violet put the last pancake on a plate, gave it to Deidara, and turned to start a new batch. Chuckling at her attempts to reach another box of the batter, I used my puppet strings to pull the box out, and set it on the table.

She turned around and smiled at me, and I felt my stomach flipflop. How is that possible? I don't even HAVE a stomach anymore!

Saving me from my confusion, Hidan clomps through the door, Kyandra close behind him. Hidan sits at the counter, but Kyandra decides she wants to sit there, so she pushes him out of the seat, pulls a pancake over to her, wraps it around some bacon and starts munching.

Charity walks in, takes one look at Hidan's position sprawled on the floor, and immediately starts laughing. She picks up a chocolate muffin, and, as her laughing slowly tapers off to quiet giggles, sits in one of the chairs.

Zetsu is the next to join us, crossing over to sit in the seat next to Verity, while Lilia moves to sit on the right side of Lyana, and Kisame was on the left.

Tobi came in, his bright orange mask semi-lopsided. He immediately gravitated to the still-giggling Charity, who proceeded to straighten him up, then offer him one of her muffins. The two of them looked, and sounded, like five-year-olds.

Konan was the next to come in, moving to talk with Lilia while munching on the muffin she stole from an unaware Hidan.

Kakuzu came in next, immediately turning on Violet, chastising her for costing money. Standing up, I picked up the largest pancake I could find and stuffed it in his mouth. Violet sent me a grateful look, and it made my stomach flipflop multiple times. Why does it keep doing that?

Itachi came in next, glaring at everyone. He isn't a morning person. I noticed Lilia turn to see who came in, and she immediately spun back to face Konan, her face noticeably pinker. Lyana had turned too, and glared at Itachi before turning back to talk to Kisame.

Silena came in last, her silver hair hanging loosely down to her waist. That, coupled with her long white dress, made her look like she was about to blow away. She floated over to where Kakuzu was glowering at Violet and I, and began eating a piece of sausage covered in syrup.

After everyone finished eating, they went to get dressed. Silena came back first, still in the dress, but with silver sandals on. Kyandra was the second to return, white hair pulled back, blue eyes glowing, same dress as her sister. Eta returned next, wearing a blue tank top, black jacket, black pants, and boots. Lilia was wearing a black strapless top, shorts, and was barefoot. Lyana was identical, except hers had blue instead of black, and she was wearing sandals. Charity and Verity were both wearing purple tank tops, simple shorts, and basic shoes. Verity's hair was streaked with black and white, while Charity's hair was a basic blonde.

Violet was the last to return, and I'm kinda glad for that. If she'd returned any earlier, it'd be awkward. I couldn't help watching her. She was dressed almost identical to her sister, but in green instead of blue.

Could someone PLEASE tell me why my stomach keeps doing that?

Stupid short chapters...
