Chapter Ten◊
Explaining
"How exactly do her friends know of chakra?" Pein asked after Itachi explained that Adiera seemed to know of her bloodline.
"She must have told them of us," Itachi spoke as he wondered the same question.

Sighing I doodled on my math homework wondering exactly what I had gotten myself into by asking Itachi of my ancestors. Well it must mean something if he wouldn't answer me! However I had not wanted to make them angry at me. When Itachi came back I wondered if he was going to tell me or be his silent self. "Did Pein-sama speak of anything?"
"How did your friends react to you speaking of chakra?" Before I could say the lie we had planned just in case he held up a hand, motioning that he hadn't been done speaking. "And I'll know when you are lying." This made me let out a sigh as I knew that my friends would be getting their wish of meeting the Akatsuki very soon, though I hoped that it wouldn't be a bad meet.
"I told my friends about you, so they know of you as well as chakra." I mumbled and thankfully that was technically true. I'd been one of the first in our small little group to introduce the others to the Akatsuki. "And they've really wanted to meet you guys." With that Itachi stood up and left and I wondered how many times he was going to do that. Sighing with relief I reached into my bag and pulled out my cell phone, quickly dialing Meme, the one who could pass along news the fastest.
"HEEEELLLLOOOOO this is Meme speaking! If you know who stole the moon please answer after the crazed laughter!" Meme cackled in the background as I sighed at how even Tobi would cower in fear at her craziness.
"Yeah, no I don't know who stole the moon but I do know who's going to be meeting the Akatsuki soon." A grin was on my face as I heard the cackling stop and the phone drop to the ground, static ringing in my ear.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? Or are you just playing around with me? Adiera please tell me!" She had the phone back in her hand and decided that she needed to yell into it to get my attention, and also to say that if I was playing around it was a cruel, cruel joke on my part.
"Nope, I'm not kidding, I just told Itachi that you guys knew of them and he's possibly to tell Pein-sama so then by the end of the day they all will know and you guys won't have to hide." A scream went over me as I heard Meme's mom telling her to go to her room at least.
"I'LL GO TO MY ROOM LADY!" I couldn't help but laugh as Meme got yelled at even more, though it didn't seem like she was listening to her mom. "You're serious, we get to meet the Akatsuki? When, when, freakin' when?" A door slammed as I knew that Meme had gone to her room as her mom had told her to.
"Yeah, I want you to tell the others of it and remember the two rules. Don't say anything of you-know-who about you-know-what and you-you-know-who about you-you-know-what." It was a code for both of the Uchihas' secrets.
"I know, I know so when, when, when, when, fuckin' when?" Meme's hyperactive manner was taking over and I knew if I didn't answer then she'd explode.
"Okay, how about Saturday, then we'll have all day." And with that Meme hung up without an answer and I knew she was going to tell everyone the plan for Saturday.
When I decided to go back to work I felt eyes watching me and I knew that Itachi had heard the entire conversation just outside of the room. However he hadn't made a move to come forth so I just ignored him and began doing my English homework, hoping to finish before seven.

She knows something, something she won't say aloud. Itachi thought this as he walked from the library to report to Pein of her information of her friends knowing of chakra. It was getting annoying, to Itachi at the least, that she had so many secrets that she could somehow keep hidden so well. However he also felt something else, something of not annoyance, about Adiera, but he couldn't yet tell what it was.
