~*~*~Black Ice~*~*~
Chapter 14
Around the time my plate was empty everyone began to disperse.
I stood as well and walked over to the already piled high stack of dirty dishes and begin to clean.
I know it's really weird and all but cleaning qs one of those things that just eased me into a calm mood.
My thoughts drifted out like they used to and I thought of my old friends… and the friend I wrecked with.
I flinched at that and nearly dropped the plate from my hands. What had happened to Drew? Was he okay? Was he… the 'd' word…?
That made me pause in shock as another thought hit me. What if I was the 'd' word? I mean, I could be in the afterlife or something. Or maybe a comatose related dream.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and jerked back to the room with the Akatsuki.
Tobi, as I had just realized, was a full foot taller than me, and I am pretty tall…
He knelt over just a bit so our heads were closer to the same height.
His gloved hand rested on my shoulder and his other was positioned on his hip like a girl.
He sighed, "Morgan-chan works too much!"
With a small smile and nod, I placed the last clean plate into the cabinet and walked out of the kitchen.
I wondered in my head, "What do the Akatsuki do when they aren't on missions anyway?"
Of course my fangirlism kicked in and I ran off through the random hallways.
After nearly twenty minutes of wandering and seven dead ends I found the living room.
It looked NOTHING like what all the comics on the internet thought.
The wall beside the door was covered with a plasma TV, with an entire tower of DVDs in the corner.
A stereo as big as a car sat on the left wall. CDs littered the floor and cases were open to reveal the discs still in place. Hidan sat among them, looking at his pile lovingly.
A black curved couch was against the back wall where they could clearly see the TV and hear the music if wanted. I noticed it was big enough to seat twenty comfortably.
An actual poker table was set up in the last open corner, off to the side where they could have a bit of peace.
A small coffee table sat in front of the couch, and two small desks with lamps were placed at the ends of the couch. Books, magazines, and pens were scattered around.
I gazed around the room in complete and utter awe.
No wonder the Akatsuki were in need of money. They lived like KINGS.
I wiped the drool from my chin and kept gawking.
Deidara entered from one of the hallways and spotted me.
"What the heck are you staring at?!"
I snapped out of it and walked past him to the stereo.
Music… was a very important part in my life… *Cough. Obsession. Cough.*
I felt the tears and knelt down to the disks.
Hidan eyed me suspiciously, but I ignored him.
Both guys watched me as I tenderly picked up each disk and read the labels. I wasn't sure, but my face was most likely a mix between extreme happiness and trying not to cry.
The disk I placed in was loud, and I didn't know the singer or band.
Hidan asked, "What's with the tears?"
I squealed in happiness, "YOUR BASE ROCKS!"
I was consumed with emotions, but I tackled Hidan and shrieked like a little girl. I mean, if you suddenly had access to four hundred CDs with twenty songs each, you'd be pretty excited right?
He was struggling to get loose and Deidara was roaring for me to 'behave'.
I jumped away just as the angry Hidan stood.
I was too happy to be afraid, and as Itachi ran in the room, another impulse of hormones and happiness hit me… I jumped up and onto him before swinging myself around and gripping onto his back to hide myself.
The music changed and I laughed.
Why in the word was I so HAPPY?! This just didn't make SENSE.
I suddenly realized why, and turned from the awesomeness of the living room to find a certain very tall masked man/child.
Tobi was walking towards the living room, watching me carefully.
"Tobi…"
"Morgan-chan!"
"Tobi…"
"What Morgan-chan?"
"Tobi."
"Morgan-chan?"
"Tobi!"
"Wh-what Morgan-chan?!"
"TOBI," I screamed, "WHAT DID YOU PUT IN MY FOOD?!"
He looked confused as he scratched the top of his head.
"Pepper?" he asked.
I frowned and demanded, "You put some kind of meds in my food, didn't you?"
Tobi frowned, "Nope! Deidara did though, but he said it was to make you happy, so we let him."
I roared, "NOT THIS KIND OF HAPPY! I'M FRIGGIN HIGH!"
Tobi flinched. "You're not happy now… "
I growled as the chakra flowed through me.
Holy crap, I was p'd off.
The chakra had burnt off the drug and now I was just mad.
Wait a sec… I was mad at Tobi, and Tobi was really… Madara.
I suddenly froze. I spun on my heel and walked away quickly.
Not good… he was watching me… not good… he wasn't leaving… not good… he had seen my fear… not good…
~Two hours, 134 dead ends, 5 pit traps, and 9000 doors later…~
I finally found mine and Itachi's room. Well, it was still technically Deidara's room, too, but hey, two beds and three people made me a little nervous, so man number blond was out!
I opened the door and saw Itachi sitting on his bed.
I groaned and stepped in before face planting into the floor. He asked, "Where were you?"
I answered, "Lost."
He sighed and tossed a pillow at me.
"Remember, left at the kitchen and a right after five doors. Second on the right, next left and door straight ahead, that's here."
I groaned and kept my face to the floor. "I hate these stupid halls…"
Itachi sighed and answered, "Then just look at the ceiling. Every hall colored with blue tile leads to the kitchen. Every red leads to the living room. Green takes you to the resident wing where we are."
I looked up and stared at the ceiling. "Oooooooh!"
He just went back to reading his book.
I remember falling asleep on the floor.
~Later, in the evening~
I woke up to the sounds of five voices right above me.
I opened my eyes and found a set of blue, purple, green, black, and red eyes looking down at me.
Abruptly I sat up and looked around.
I was in my bed staring at Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, and Itachi respectively.
Hidan stated, "We're watching movies. You in?"
I frowned, "Which one?"
Kisame muttered, "Today is Itachi's pick so most likely an action one."
I grinned. Movies with the Akatsuki… never expected that to happen!
