Luna

I woke up and hopped out of bed, full of excitement. I was finally able to restart training after, what a month? I couldn't wait and even though I had gotten little to no sleep I was full of adrenaline keeping me awake.

I stole a glance at the clock on the night stands, it read four in the morning, quite an ungodly hour but I didn't really care all that much.

Tobi slept silently on his bed, probably still completely asleep, unless my presence woke him up, "you up?" I whispered quietly.

He didn't move but his voice said, "I am now."

I rolled my eyes and went out the door. I couldn't see anyone else around so I went to the kitchen where I found it empty. I grabbed something edible looking out of the fridge and munched on it.

I sat there, thinking to myself, when Itachi walked in. It was my first time alone with the Uchiha, well, this Uchiha, and if felt weird. I looked over to him while he completely ignored my presence.

"Morning Itachi, why are you up so early," he looked at me and blinked. The look in his eye clearly said, 'I'm-always-up-this-early.'

I turned away and got a glass of water. I always found it weird how you can always tell what an Uchiha is thinking just by looking at them. I guess that ability makes up for their lack of speech.

As I thought that I said, "Itachi you lack speech. Talk more damn it!"

"Hn," was all I got in reply.

I sipped at my water and still sat in the kitchen, waiting for someone else to appear. By the time five o'clock am rolled around Tobi was up and about as well as the rest of the present Akatsuki.

Tobi clung to me while everyone else entered. And let me tell you, his attention did not go unnoticed.

Zetsu was, of course, was the first to comment, "oh so you two are together? I didn't know you had the 'charm' to get with someone."

Tobi giggled and held me, "Tobi loved Luna-san from the start!" I pushed him off me and since he was sitting on the same chair as I was he fell over onto the floor. Where he started to fake cry and hold my legs.

Deidara walked in and punched a Tobi sized hole into the wall while sitting down and drinking a cup of something. My only guess was that it was coffee since what else would you drink this early? Tea I guess, but it doesn't wake you up.

Kakuzu entered next. Looking same as usual. Annoyed and grumpy. He grabbed a cup of coffee and sat across Deidara who was fiddling with something in his hands. Tobi was quiet but he was hugging me tightly. I don't know when he had such a change of 'heart' so-to-speak, but whatever.

Pein came in and grabbed some coffee before immediately leaving again. Kisame entered at the same time Pein left and like all the others, grabbed some coffee and sat down to drink it.

Sasori came in looking board. I didn't understand why he was here but he sat next to Deidara and the two talked about something quietly. Itachi came back in as well, sitting next to Kisame, he said nothing but Kisame immediately started to talk about something. I don't know what though, he was too far out of earshot.

By now it was six thirty and I saw Oceanna make her way to the kitchen. I smiled at her and she waved sleepily.

"Why are you up so early?" I asked. I knew she usually got up at around nine.

"I don't know," she answered.

"Your excited to train?"

"Yeah that too," she lowered her voice to a whisper, "I only had a weeks worth of training so I don't know too much," I was surprised to find out that she had gotten any training at all. That's awesome, at least she's not starting from scratch.

"Cool, let's go wake up Amber then," I linked our arms together and took her over to Hidan's door. I knocked on it, ready to bolt if Hidan came out swinging his scathe. There was no response so I knocked a little louder.

"Amber?" Oceanna said before putting her hand to the knob, "Hidan if your in there don't kill us we're only here to collect Amber."

She turned the knob and opened the door slowly. She pushed but it was stuck on something.

I helped her and together we slowly pushed the door open. Oceanna looked around the door to see what had been blocking the door and I heard her gasp loudly.

"Get Konan, now."

She pushed me off and I ran all the way to Pein's office, fearing the worst. I found it on the left and I ran faster, I've spent enough time around these halls to know where a thing or two is.

"Konan!" I yelled, bolting into the office. Pein was there, but no Konan.

"Do you need something," he asked not even looking up from is paperwork.

"Yes where's Konan? I think something's wrong with Amber!"

He put a hand to his head in frustration, "she's not here right now. Take me to her I'll try to help."

He stood, walking quickly to my sprint. I ran into Hidan's bedroom and I froze when I saw Amber lying there.

She was still and her breathing was incredibly shallow. Oceanna held her head in her lap so I couldn't see her face.

"Oceanna! W-what happened to Amber?" I asked, fear evident in my voice.

"I don't know! Where's Hidan? I'm going to smite that little bastard if he had has anything to do with this!"

"What the fuck did I do this time? I was sleeping in one of the other rooms since this bitch was complaining so much."

Oceanna put Amber's head down and rushed Hidan. She grabbed him by his necklace and held him to the wall, "what did you do to her!" she said, in what I like to call, her scary Orochimaru voice.

He held up his hands to try to calm her, "what the fuck! I did nothing."

"Then why is she like that?" Oceanna said pointing to Amber. Her face was red and blotchy and her stomach slightly bloated, "she's having an allergic reaction to something!"

He blinked, "uh, is she allergic to shrimp?"

Oceanna's face turned red and she punched Hidan in the jaw, knocking him over but not doing too much damage. She kicked him in the gut and said, "you idiot! Amber is horribly allergic to shrimp! I saw you leave the kitchen but I didn't know you were going to do this!"

All my time with her, I've never seen her so angry. I've never seen such a strong bloodlust in her eyes. I've never seen so much fear, fear of what would happen to Amber.

She turned to Pein, "where's a hospital," she demanded, "she need's her stomach pumped stat!"

Pein blinked, "the nearest hospital is one mile down the road. We are in Amegakure after all."

She then did something that shocked everyone in the room, he grabbed the collar of his Akatsuki cloak, pulling him close to her face she said, "take us there. Now."

Pein didn't say anything, but he nodded and disappeared for a second. A moment later he returned, Zetsu and Tobi at his side.

Tobi grabbed my and Oceanna's hands and Zetsu picked up Amber.

In a flash, or what felt like one, we were standing outside a hospital.

Oceanna let go of Tobi and grabbed Zetsu, hauling him into the emergency room. By the time we had relocated them, Amber was under anesthesia and in medic hands. Oceanna paced back and forth nervously. Touching her forefingers like Hinata.

Zetsu and Tobi stood by, waiting. About thirty minutes later, with no status change, Hidan, Konan, and Pein entered the waiting room.

"What happened?" Konan asked softly.

"Amber's allergic to shrimp and Hidan is a complete idiot," I answered. Said idiot was about to retaliate but Pein cut him off.

Sitting down wordlessly, we all waited to see what would become of Amber.

A few hours passed before a nurse came out. She looked tired and bedraggled but she smiled as she said, "you got your friend here just in time. We've manage to stabilize her but it will take her some to recover her strength."

It felt like the world was lifted from my shoulders just then and out of happiness I hugged the random nurse, "oh thank Kami!"

She patted my back before sitting me back down. I stood and stretched a bit before telling Oceanna that I needed some fresh air.

Going outside, I breathed in the scent of morning dew. Right here the world smelled damp and moist, and very swamp-like. I could tell it was one of the few times when it's not raining cats and dogs around here.

There was a light mist all around and I knew Oceanna would feel happy out here. She loved the water, the ocean, the color blue. Everything and anything in that range. Including the shark thing.

My mind went back to the first time Oceanna had made shrimp anything for dinner. I was twelve and it was my first time at her house. Oceanna was twenty something and this was her first time cooking for guests. I had been so happy to be apart of something I had nearly fainted.

She made some sort of crab salad and a shrimp platter casserole thing I can't remember but it was good. Amber came late since she had to take care of a few things beforehand. She entered and we all ate silently.

When dinner was over we cleaned up and that was when Amber started to breath funny.

We asked if she was ok, she said yes but when she suddenly passed out we called 911. Scared shitless. The nurse told us Amber was horribly allergic to shrimp and Oceanna felt really bad. Amber said it was alright though, she hadn't even known herself.

I smiled at the memory but jumped when a pair of arms hugged me from behind.

"Luna-kun looks happy," Tobi said. Instead of pushing the little retard off, I let him hug me for the moment.

"I am happy now. Amber will be alright, she's got a strong will."

"Glad to hear," he said in his regular voice which made me stiffen, "because I've decided that you three, are all a part of my next plan."
