Hey lovelies! I have been working on this for a while and finally finished with the chapter! Just a heads up, if spiders scare the crap out of you then you won't like where this chapter leads. Anyways, I know it's rather short, but I hope you guys enjoy this chappie :)

I do not own Naruto.

I started pacing at four in the morning; stress was catching up to me and my insomnia was keeping me up more than it usually did. I hated it and nothing was calming me down. I felt like a caged animal in a small environment. I wanted out and nothing was going to stop me. "You're awfully high sprung at this hour; why aren't you asleep like a normal person?" I heard Kisame ask from his spot on the floor.

"I'm stressed out like you wouldn't believe; I need out to get out of here before I flip," I answered continuing to stare at the floor as I paced.

I heard him chuckle before I noted the Sharingan eyes watching me from the Uchiha. "While I can see where you're coming from, you sneak out of the house and Leader will forcibly keep you here until he trusts you," the blue man stated.

"Right now I don't care; I just want out of this damn house other than getting necessities. I want to enjoy the sun, walk around town, do something other than the same boring shit every day," I groaned before sitting on my bed; that's when an idea struck.

Itachi's eyes narrowed at me as if he saw the light go off in my head which resulted in me sticking my tongue out at him. I was going to sneak out of the house one way or another. I noticed that the house was falling under routine and there was one point in the routine in which the Akatsuki would go into one of the guest rooms to talk about things, though I'm not sure what it is they talk about; this would be the best time for me to escape the house if I was going to at all. All I had to do was wait. Light snoring caught my attention and as soon as I caught the source a light smile made its way to my face; I didn't realize how heavy of a sleeper Kisame was. I sighed before getting up and heading to the kitchen for some hot tea since I was probably going to be up for the rest of the night. I put a pot of water on the stove before turning up the temperature to high to get the water hot quickly. "I've noticed you've been getting less sleep by the day. That's not healthy you know." I jumped and turned around to see Zetsu standing almost directly behind me.

I sighed and leaned against the counter, "I know, but the stress of everything is getting to me. I'm sure you understand; it also sucks being stuck in the damn house all the time."

"You know very well that we can't do anything about that. We still don't trust you."

I rolled my eyes, "I haven't done anything outside of your leader's request so I don't see why you don't."

"Try to understand things from our perspective; we come from a world where we are constantly hunted and war is always imminent. We can't really trust anybody."

"While I understand that I still think you guys should trust me since I've been allowing you to stay in my house and have done everything you guys have asked me to for the past month. Surely you can understand how stressful this is not being able to do anything."

In this past month, my cousin Zara was finally able to come over with a surprisingly helpful amount of cash but the living quarters were so packed that it just made everything uncomfortable. Also, I couldn't help but notice some changes going through the Akatsuki such as Hidan actually trying to be more careful towards life and death situations much to my surprise. Sasori has also seemed to become more human-like; I'm not sure if I'm the only one who has noticed these two changes, but I would be surprised if other members of the Akatsuki hadn't noticed yet. "We'll talk to Leader-sama about it. Don't count on anything though," Zetsu said before walking away.

"Thank you, Zetsu," I said as a slight smile came to my face.

"Don't mention it; seriously though, get sleep. Looks like you got punched in both eyes," was the last thing he said before heading back into the living room.

With a sigh I opened the fridge and pulled out eggs, bread, and butter before going to the freezer for the bacon; I wanted to make everyone French toast with a side of eggs and bacon. The longer I cooked the more exhaustion began to take over me. I yawned as I continued adding to the growing pile of food. Eventually people began flocking into the kitchen as six rolled around and I successfully finished cooking everything before making my way back to my bedroom; sleep sounded so good right now. Flopping on the bed face first I let out a deep sigh and ignored the bathroom door as it opened; I felt the humidity from the bathroom and knew that it was either Itachi or Kisame just leaving the bathroom after showering. "Temp, you shouldn't continue over exhausting yourself," Kisame's voice rang as I felt him approach the bed.

"I don't care right now; let me just stay here until something gets destroyed," I mumbled into my pillow, "And don't call me Temp; my ex used that frequently and I'm still mad at that ass."

I heard the blue man chuckle, "Hold grudges much?"

"If people rub me the wrong way, yes, otherwise I get alone with people decently," I answered rolling onto my back.

Feeling added weight to the mattress, I looked to see Kisame sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the far side of the wall; it wasn't awkward, but comforting to have his person nearby. "...I think we should go to my cousin's place in California for a nice, long vacation," I sighed stretching.

Kisame raised an eyebrow before looking at me, "I thought Zara lived near your aunt?"

"No, no, no, I meant my other cousin Stephanie; she has a beach house in southern California. I figured a more relaxing environment may help with all the stress going on between everyone," I clarified. "Not to mention I haven't been to the ocean in a while."

"How many relatives do you have?"

"A lot; thankfully though we don't have any family reunions after the last one."

Kisame stood up and headed to the door, "Well I'll mention it to Leader-sama, but I'm not sure how he'll take to a new person being introduced."

I nodded before sleep almost instantly took over.

Third Person

Cynthia sighed after eating her fill of the meal Temperance so graciously made; she was worried about her ginger friend and knew she would do something stupid if the stress didn't smooth out anytime soon. She, too, was getting tired of sitting around the house doing absolutely nothing along with the other inhabitants; it didn't help her gut was telling her something but she didn't know what. With a sigh the lesbian turned on the TV to watch the Weather Channel; might as well keep an eye on the weather out of boredom. Loud footsteps could be heard running around the second floor along with the attempted smothered laughing of the twins. With a groan the blackette hung her head before a shriek from Temperance's room sounded; not even fifteen minutes after Kisame came downstairs and the twins decided to scare their ginger friend awake. The twenty-five year old got up and ran upstairs along with the rest of the household, and they all stared wide-eyed when they opened the door; covering the entire bed were various species of spiders. Temperance was shaking in place as two tarantulas crawled up her right arm; Cynthia took in a sharp breath when she noticed a few poisonous spiders starting to crawl towards her friend. Tears were seen prickling the corner of the ginger's eyes; talk about a shudder-worthy awakening. "James, Corey, you two are in serious trouble!" Seth shouted as he cautiously made his way into the room; he wasn't sure how but he needed to help his friend out of this situation.

Kisame followed Seth in and frowned, "If we aren't careful she'll get bit."

"I know, that's what I'm worried about. They had to get every spider they saw rather than just ones that aren't poisonous to us," the blonde sighed crossing his arms.

"Spider's don't like fire, right?" Cynthia offered as a thought.

A light bulb went off in Mathew's head. "I'll go get the grill lighter," he said before darting back downstairs to the kitchen.

Temperance bit back a whimper as a daddy long-leg made its way up her left arm; she truly felt disgusted. In the next moment the Hispanic came rushing in the room and lit the end before holding it close to the spiders to scare them off; luckily they ran away from the flame away from the petrified girl and the second she was clear Kisame quickly pulled her off the bed and out of the room and closing the door once everyone was out of the room. Temperance let out a whimper as she shuddered and instantly began removing her clothing just in case a spider snuck its way onto her shirt or pants. The boys quickly turned away while she did this and put on different clothes; they still weren't used to the ginger's unashamed self. Helen covered her eyes and cleared her throat uncomfortably but understood the situation. Once Temperance was dressed she instantly hugged Kisame as the tears ran down her face; she was terrified.

Fun Fact: Daddy Long Legs are the most poisonous spiders.

Q: What is your favorite music genre and artist if you have one?

So I got this spider idea from a dream I had; in a dream I had woken up to find thousands of spiders crawling over me and some even making webs in my mouth. This resulted in me jump starting awake and wiping myself because it was a very vivid dream and it actually felt like the spiders were crawling over me. I couldn't fall asleep for the rest of the night afraid that spiders were indeed in my room. No fun. Anyways Thank you as always my lovelies for reading and reviewing :)
