Author's Note: Chapter Fourteen.~


Boyfriend and Waterfall

The search of the bottle of Life is really good. The whole organization enjoys itself.


Pain commanded Ayako to go back to their camp. Happily Tobi ran up to her as she came up behind the large rock, Deidara looked rather pissed. Smiling she came closer to Itachi and Kisame who stood near the ashes of the campfire. "Has Hidan-senpai come back yet?"

Itachi looked at her. "No."

Kisame shrugged his shoulders, sticking a branch in the ashes. "No clue."

Glancing to the ground, she bit her bottom lip. I hope Hidan-senpai is not mad at me...!

"What does Ayako-chan think about?" Tobi jumped in her view.

"Oh..." Ayako was surprised, but brushed it aside. "Nothing." Kisame pierced little holes in the ashes as he rose an eyebrow at her. "Okay, okay!" She rose her hands a bit. "I was wondering if Hidan-senpai might be mad at me...!"

Instead of answering, Kisame threw his head back. "I still don't understand how someone can be mad at you, Ayako-chan! I am also still wondering that you even know what the word 'bother' means!"

"I'm just worried." Her eyes turned sad. "I... don't want to hurt anybody... ."

"You're fine, Ayako." Sasori hadn't looked up to her as he had got busy with one of his puppets.

She turned to him, smiling. "Thank you, Sasori-senpai."

"What are Tobi and his friends doing now?" the lolli-pop asked. He moved closer to Itachi. "Oi, Itachi-senpai, Tobi still wants to become sexy! Will Itachi no danna of the sexiness teach me?" He threw himself on his knees before Master Uchiha.

Itachi smirked, going with his hand through his hair. "I know."

"When do we eat?"

"Oh... I haven't thought about that. How long was I talking to Leader-sama anyhow?" Nyu purred at her, making Ayako blush. "N- no, Nyu! It's not what you think it is!" Nyu kept her cat face in place, causing her mistress to redden more.

"Oh, no!" Tobi dropped the attention from Itachi for a second. "Ayako-chan's got a sunburn again! We should hide her in the shadows!" Blushing like a red tomato, Ayako was dragged under a tree by the hyper, worried lolli-pop. Her cat suppressed a giggle.

"What do you all want to eat?" Sasori asked as he was still busy on his puppet.

"Now! Now!" Nyu meowed.

"Nyu..." She looked at her cat. "He asked what we want to eat, and not when... ."

"Oh... but I am so hungry that I can't think of anything else right now." The fluffy cat was close to pass out from hunger.

"Okay," Ayako laughed softly as Tobi released her. "Nyu wants to eat now."

Kisame narrowed his eyes on the cat. "Don't think about eating fish, little Nyu!" His small, round eyes glinted warningly. However, Nyu meowed at him.

"I'll take care of the food." Zetsu smirked.

Sasori didn't look up. "On your own?"

"Of course," his dark side replied before he grew back into the earth and with that disappeared.

"Come on, Tobi." Itachi called him with his finger. As Tobi's mask looked confused, he explained his intention in a question, "You want to become sexy, don't you?"

"Yayy!" Tobi followed his sexy Master, dancing. "Tobi is excited!" Master and student walked a bit off side, so nobody would disturb them in their sexiness lesson number 1.

Ayako glanced at Deidara. He looked back at her with his eyes asking 'What is it, yeah?' but she quickly looked back. "S- sorry for staring, Deidara-senpai!"

He smiled at her. "Don't worry."

"Thank you." She smiled at him, then leaned on the tree Tobi had dragged her to and slid with her back down on it on her butt. She looked to her right where Sasori was still dealing with his puppets and Deidara forming animals with his clay. Her expression turned sad as she remembered that one of his birds had brought her away from her home. With one tear escaping she looked up to the clear, blue sky.

Nyu realized and jumped in her mistress' lap, purring and snuggling up on her. Ayako smiled down on her, petting her. Then she looked back up to the sky, seeing one single could pass slowly by.

"Nyu...?" Her cat purred in reply. "Do..." She looked down at her cat. "Do you really think we will find the bottle of Life?"

"Sure. Don't you?"

"I... don't know, Nyu. My life... it's all so messed up!"

"But you're happy, aren't you?" Nyu had stopped to purr, knowing that something was up.

She gave her cat a weak smile. "I... I don't know... ." A tear glistened on her cheek as Nyu meowed worried.

"We will find the bottle of Life!" Ayako found her hands in fists as she looked back up to the sky - the freedom. "And Teny will live again! I also will heal Neji-kun, and we all will be happy!"

Nyu meowed. "Really everyone?"Ayako looked at her cat, her fists loosening.

"What do you mean?" Nyu looked over at Sasori and Deidara. "Oh... ."

"Also, don't forget Tobi...!" Ayako looked back in her lap where her cat sat.

"You're... you're right, Nyu, but... what could I do that everyone could be happy?" Her cat sighed. "Hm... maybe... I can visit them once I revived Teny and married Neji-kun." She smiled as her cat facepawed herself.

"Ayako... do you really think they will let you go easily? Think about Pain... and even this whole organization! They kidnapped you in the first place, and they aren't quite the 'happy, lucky, joy' organization. They're Akatsuki!"

Ayako closed her eyes, sighing. "True..." With determination she opened her eyes afresh. "But now I just have to find the bottle of Life and then I heal Teny and Neji-kun!"

"What were you talking about?" Deidara asked sweetly as he sat down next to her. Nyu started to purr again.

"Eh- ah... random stuff." She smiled. Instead of his usual smirk, he smiled back.

"Oi, Ayako-chan, un..." She rose her eyebrows as she waited patiently to what he had to say. "I have been wondering..." She narrowed her eyes as he looked her directly in the eyes. "Is that Hyuuga-kid really your boyfriend, hm?"

Amused by Ayako's never ending blush, Nyu continued to purr. "Here we go again. He really likes you."

"Nyu!" But it didn't help.

"And, yeah?" Deidara looked adorable asking his question so reserved.

"Oh, um..." With her blood in action she looked at him. "Well... um... I... I don't know... . We... well... we love eachoth-" She swallowed. "-er and... we told eachother th- that we l- l- love e- eachother, but a- after that Itachi-senpai brought him into this small room and... and I- I haven't seen hin since then... ."

"Oh... un." Both looked to the ground. "Do you still love him, yeah?" He asked, facing her. She blushed and as she was about to answer a screaming Tobi ran up to the two blondes and a white cat. Ayako sighed with relief.

Thanks, Tobi-senpai...!

"You're annoying, Tobi, hm!" Deidara was back to his usual self.

"But Tobi's found something really important!" He moved with his legs up and down but stayed with his feet on the ground.

Nyu jumped off her lap as she followed Deidara's movement to stand up. "What is it?" The lolli-pop handed her a bottle. She blinked. Her blush returned though as Deidara came closer to see.

"Open it, Ayako-chan, open it!" Tobi was full of sugar.

She glanced at him. "Haven't you opened it yet...?"

The mask was aimed on her. "No... ."

Itachi walked up next to Tobi. "He found it as we were training." He shook his head slightly, his hair following him submissively. Ayako stared at him for a moment.

"But... why haven't you opened it yet, Itachi-senpai?"

He pointed at the bottle. "This might have something to do with the bottle of Life."

Nyu meowed. "Are you going to open it, Ayako?"

"Hai." Ayako led her finger to the opening of the bottle. "Leader-sama!" Shocked she looked up.

Wincing Deidara turned around, protecting his face with his arms. "Is he behind me again, yeah?"

"No... ." Deidara sighed with relief at her answer and as he had seen that he wasn't here. "But... I better open it with Leader-sama."

"Why?" Deidara asked, putting his arms back down.

"Because we are searching it together and... he's still Leader-sama... ."

"Tobi likes Leader-sama, too!" He rose his arms up into the sky, spelling a blush upon her.

"I- I di- didn't say that... that I l- l- like him...!"

The mask was disappointed. "So Ayako-chan doesn't?"

"N- n- no! I... I like him, but... he- he's still Leader-sam and-"

"We got that now," Itachi interrupted her.

Ayako panicked. "What?"

"I know more that you think that I know, Ayako."

This words from her personal protector made her think back to her kiss with Pain. Was he there as well? But he'd left at that time! "Y- y- you are kidding, ne, Itachi-senpai?"

Itachi leaned slightly in to her with a smirk on his lips. "Who said that I talked about that?" Her eyes and blush extended. He winked at her while she swallowed really hard.

The blonde male rose one eyebrow as he watched Itachi go back into his normal pose. "What is going on here, yeah?"

Itachi glanced at him. "None of your business, Deidara."

Glaring, Deidara held his eyes on Itachi. "If it is about Ayako-chan... of course it's my business, hm!"

"So senpai finally admits that he loves Ayako-chan?" Little hearts lightened up on his orange mask.

Before this scene could get worse, Deidara screamed his favourite word - Katsu! Tobi flew up in the air, then landed next to the campfire which was lightened by Kisame a few minutes before.

"Tobi... just... wants to help... to find... love... ."

"Tobi-senpai!" Ayako pointed at him. "Y- your cloak!"

Hysterically, Tobi screamed as he saw his precious cloak on fire. "Help Tobi! Help Tobi! Help to save Tobi!" Instead of running to the water, he kept on running around the fire with his hand up in the air.

Deidara watched with a pissed expression. "If he doesn't stop running he'll catch more fire, hm." Ayako turned to him.

"That's right...!" Immediately she turned back to Tobi. "Tobi-senpai! Run under the waterfall!" Dramatically she pointed at the splashing water.

In the blink of an eye Tobi slowly bowed before her, his cloak still on fire. "Thank you, Ayako-chan." Ayako blinked, yet as she opened her eyes again, he was already under the waterfall.

Nyu sighed. "That was close."

"More or less," Itachi added. As if the two girls had seen a ghost, they turned to Itachi.

"Y- you understand w... what Nyu is saying?" She couldn't believe it!

"Slow but steadily, I figured it out." He smirked lightly at their confused and embarrassed faces.

With her eyes staying on him, she whispered to Nyu, "Okay, Nyu. We now have to be very careful when we talk near Itachi-senpai!" Nyu eyed Itachi as well, whispering an agreement meow back. Rather amused Itachi watched them whisper in front of him.

"Oi! Oi, Ayako-chan! Senpais!" The lolli-pop waved its arms around. "Watch Tobi dance under the waterfall!" No sooner said than done, he started to dance, trying to appear sexy. Deidara took a deep breath.

No comment, hm!

"You look good, Tobi-senpai," Ayako yelled, going on her tip toes. Itachi sighed as he put a hand on his head.

"He still needs a lot of my training... ."

Ayako went fully back on her feet, glancing at him. "But for the beginning... not bad... ."

"Yes, because I already taught him a little." Itachi closed his eyes while Nyu wanted to make sure that he really could understand her.

"Hm... let's see... Itachi is sexy!" Ayako was confused as she looked at her cat, Itachi, however, opened his eyes.

"Tell me something I don't know." A new soft wind came up, and he shook his hair, being the sexiness in person. Unexpectedly the wind blew harder, ruining his smooth black hair. "Kisame," he scolded. "I told you not to turn the air conditioner too high!"

Kisame put the air conditioner down. "Sorry."

Itachi shook his hair back in order. "Good... ." He was gorgeous, all right, but what mistress and cat wondered the most about was that he really could understand what Nyu was meowing!

"He... he can really understand you, Nyu!"

Nyu wasn't this easy to believe things. "An other try." She cleaned her little throat. "Itachi is a pervert!"

Within a millisecond he turned to the fluffy cat, narrowing his eyes. "What did you just say?"

Nyu meowed innocently. "I just told you something you might not know... ."

Gently he picked her up by the fur and skin of her neck. He lifted her up to his face. "Then you better tell the truth."

The cat closed her eyes, lifting her paws. "Only you and Ayako understand me anyhow." Suspiciously he watched for one more moment as she opened her eyes. Then he put her into his arms, petting her softly.

Ayako didn't know what to think of this. "Nyu...?" But her cat purred in the strong arms of this pretty Uchiha.
