Chapter Ten: Tied Up

"There's nothing to feckin' do here!" Hidan yelled.

"Why don't you read a book?" I suggested. "I have lots of them."

"I feckin' hate reading!"

"Then why don't you, um..." I looked around the living room. My eyes landed on a dark green plastic box. "..build a roller-coaster?"

"A roller-coaster?" Gazzy asked. He, Iggy, Itachi, and Deidara were now in the living room with me and Hidan.

"Ya, the instructions are in the box and it could take a while to make." I said.

"What the hell is a roller-coaster, un?"

"Build it and maybe then you'll find out."

"Kayaty we're almost out of food in the kitchen." Iggy said.

"Well I was going to go with Panda to buy more food anyway. So, which one of ya is going with me?" I asked them.

"Why don't you take Max?" Gazzy asked.

"Sure, I guess I could take Max with me."

"Take me where?" Max asked as she walked down the stairs.

"To go shopping-" Groan from Max, "-for food only. I also despise shopping Max, so the sooner we get their the sooner we can get back home."

"Fine, I'll come with you."

"CALEN! GET DOWN HERE WE'RE GOING TO BUY MORE FOOD!" I shouted up the stairs.

"COMING!" I heard her response.

Soon me, Panda, Max, Aboss, and Calen were in the van driving to the nearest store to buy enough food to feed five hungry ninjas and five starving bird-kids. I only wish I knew about the mess I would find when I got home. Maybe then I would have locked up all my art supplies...

Backatthehouse,ThirdPersonPOV

Deidara was currently going through the drawers next to one of the two bookshelves in the room. Everyone else in the house were currently in the living room building the 'roller-coaster' that Kitta had told them to make to past the time.

Opening up one of the draws he saw it was full of art supplies for all different types of art. Cloth, feathers, paint, colored pencils, clay, and other things were in it. Going through the drawer he took out several things from the drawer placing it on the table.

Soon yarn, rope, cloth, and especially a lot of clay covered the table. Not bothering to put the stuff back after he was finished looking through the previous drawer he closed it and opened up the next one.

It was full of hand puppets made out of cloth just like what he had pulled out of the previous drawer. He scowled at the many hand puppets, ranging from ants to birds to even some giant green lizard-like creature with a long neck. (That,Deidara,iscalledadinosaur)Artisfleeting,noteternal,yeah.Althoughtheyareprettygood.Curious as to who had made them, he picked one up that looked like an octopus. Written in sharpie marker on the glove part of it was Calen Mae.

Hm,sothesisterlikesmakingpuppets,un. Deidara thought. Looking at the bookshelves – which he hadn't even given a second glance until now, being filled with books and all – and noticed some of the clay pots, vases, and sculptures Sammie had made during Ceramics class as well as one very familiar looking clay spider. Iwonderedwhathadhappenedtothat...

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the art supplies falling off the table. Deidara turned to see a small gray and cream-colored mouse darting around the table amongst the stuff. Upon seeing the mouse's third eye, Deidara reached out, attempting to grab the mouse but instead missing and knocking more stuff off the table.

The mouse jumped off the table onto the ground, running out of the room. "Oh no you don't, un!"

Despite its small size, the mouse was pretty fast. Both Dayyan and Clarus were soon in the living room, where the others were building the miniature roller-coaster.

"What the-" Hidan said upon seeing Deidara chasing a small mouse.

"Get back here Clarus, yeah!"

"Clarus?" Gazzy asked.

Soon everyone was scrambling to catch the small mouse before she disappeared. Clarus attempted to jump over the roller-coaster parts and hide under the couch when she was met by a small orange and black cat.

Someone grabbed her and pulled her up. Clarus was met facing a swirly orange mask and through the eye-hole in it the human's eye was red. That was just not natural for people from this world or even her own.

"Tobi caught Clarus!"

Clarus squeaked and struggled to free herself from Tobi/Madara's grasp. Tobi looked over at the assembled bird-kids and ninjas and Clarus took her chance. She forced her third-eye to open, hoping that whatever came out of the portal would help her escape from the masked man's grasp.

Outsidethehouse,Sammie'sPOV

I opened the door to the house, grocery bags sitting on the ground next to us as well as several being held by me,Calen, and Max. Upon opening the door I saw what looked like thick black strings coming from the living room.

"Feck." I said as I set the bags down and ran to see what had happened.

Black tentacles much like the ones Kakuzu uses covered the living room. Parts from the roller-coaster were scattered all over the room. I found that all of the Flock and Akatsuki members were currently tied up by the thick black string covering the entire room.

"What happened here? Did Kakuzu and his tentacle things get thrown into my world by Clarus or something?"

"No, but these sure do look a lot like that bastards doesn't it?" Hidan said, squirming in the string that had his arms pinned to his side.

"Can someone please tell me what happened here?" Calen asked.

"What the hell?" Max said.

"Deidara-sempai had chased Clarus to here and then she tried to get away but Tobi caught her! And after Tobi caught her a portal opened up and then these tentacles shot out of it trapping everyone!" Tobi said.

"Alright, now where are those damn scissors?" I said, walking to the dinning room, where I saw almost all the art supplies that were once in a drawer now inhabiting the table. "Who went through the drawers and left all this stuff out?" I asked, apparently loud enough to be heard from the living room.

"That's what I was doing before I saw Clarus, un!"

"Figures."
