1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.
Chapter 53
Note: Ninjas eventually find out that they're famous.
~Kahlan's POV
With a pounding headache, my eyes flutter open. I stare at ceiling with painted on glow in the dark stars. Clenching the sheets in my hand I turn to look at the purple walls and glare. It was stupid to hope that the Akatsuki would never find us with our new looks; stupid to hope that we would never have to end up back with them. Nothing stays good forever because life likes being a bitch and laughing at our misery. I can see life now eating popcorn enjoying the entertainment we seem to provide.
My bedroom door opens letting in some light from the hallway. Not once do I look away from the wall as the person enters the room. I'm upset and would like to wallow in my misery for a while as I curse life.
"Kahlan," Leader says as the door closes.
I could pretend to still be asleep but that most likely would not work. I can ignore Leader but that could lead to trouble and I'm getting fed up with trouble. I'm getting fed up with a lot of stuff that I know I'm so close to snapping, but that won't help anything. So with a sigh I turn away from the wall and look at Leader.
"What," I ask as I slowly sit up.
"You never informed me about you two having a new look or that you will be going out today," Leaders says.
With little emotion I shrug replying, "We just got the new looks and Tsunade wanted us to go out and test them. Besides, I did tell you they were not leaving us alone so it's not like I could call you and tell you."
"You should have found a way, but…I'm not mad."
"You're not," I ask hiding my surprise.
"Do they know that you were a spy," he asks sort of changing the subject
"No, not even Laura knows and I want it to stay that way. If she must know then I will tell her when I'm ready."
"Good," he says with a nod. "Laura is downstairs."
Leader walks out and I just stare at the door confused. I was not expecting any of that to happen. Isn't there going to be some sort of yelling, weapons and losing blood involve? This is…different and I'm wondering if this is all a joke or if this is really happening. If so how long will Leader be so calm?
Pushing the covers off I get out of bed. I head out of the room, down the hall. There are four doors on each side of the hallways. Out of all eight rooms, two of them are bathrooms. It is the same way for the third and fourth floor. As for the attic it is was a work room and the basement is the library, weird but I'm not complaining.
I head down the stairs and walk into the living room. The living room also happens to be the game room. On the left side of the rooms there is a Ping-Pong table, pool table, Pac-Man and pinball machine, the old X-box and PlayStation game systems, and a DDR arcade machine from 1999. My grandfather had the Ping-Pong and pool table for himself, the rest of the games are what he got me when I was little.
The other side of the room has the TV, a small bookshelf, a coffee table and three couches in front of the TV surrounding the coffee table. Sitting on the couches is everyone with the exception of Leader. He is somewhere only he knows. Some of them are arguing what should be for lunch.
"We can have pizza for lunch," I comment to let my presence be known.
"Kahlan," Laura says happily. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I say. "Are you okay?"
"Yep," she replies with a smile. I give a small smile in return.
"You fucking change your hair too," Hidan asks.
"Uh…I guess," I reply with a shrug.
"That's Kahlan's real hair color," Laura says. "I think it's pretty."
"What do you fucking mean it's her real fucking hair color?"
"She means that I had gotten all of the hair dye in my hair to go away to get the original color back," I reply shaking my head. "Now drop it and change the subject to something else like lunch. How does pizza sound?"
"Pizza sounds yummy," Laura replies with a grin.
"Whatever does it fucking have meat?"
"Yep," Laura and I reply at the same time.
"Then I'm fucking fine with pizza."
"I don't care what is for lunch," Kakuzu says.
"Tobi wants to try pizza."
"What is pizza, hmm?"
"Food," I reply sarcastically earning a chuckle from Kakuzu, Kisame and Tobi.
"I know it is food, hmm," Deidara replies angrily.
"It's really yummy," Laura says. "You can add any kind of topping you want on it."
"I'm in for this pizza," Kisame says.
"Is there any specific topping anyone wants," I ask.
"I want mine to fucking have meat and no fucking vegetables," Hidan says.
"I want mine with shrimp and crab," Kisame says.
"Monkfish liver," Kakuzu says.
"I'm fine with whatever you get," Konan says.
"I don't care what it is, yeah."
"Tobi wants the same thing as Deidara-sempai."
"Human flesh," Zetsu says from behind. I nearly jump out of my skin as I quickly turn around.
"They don't serve human flesh in America," I reply. "In fact I believe it is against the law to eat a human, and if it isn't well then I know it is frowned upon."
"Then I'll go find someone to eat," Zetsu says then leaves going through the floor.
"I want pepperoni," Laura says with a grin.
"Okay," I say with a nod turning back to the group. "What about you Itachi?"
"I don't care," he replies.
"Alright, I'll go order the pizza and have it delivered," I say.
For a moment I stay there then leave placing trust in Konan that she'll keep Laura safe. I go straight to the kitchen where the phone is. Picking up the phone I dial the number to the pizza restaurant place.
"Kelly's Pizza Planet how can I be of help," asks a lady on the other side of the phone.
"Hi, I would like one medium pizza with monkfish liver and another medium with shrimp and crab, two extra-large meat-lovers and three large with extra pepperoni."
"Do you want any breadsticks and drinks for that?"
"Um…yeah twenty-four count of spicy Buffalo wings and party size of teriyaki, along with breadsticks and four two liters of Mountain Dew."
"Anything else?"
"No that will be all."
"Okay your total is sixty-five dollars and eighty-three cents. Is that for pick up or delivery?"
"Delivery please."
"Okay, it will take about thirty minutes for everything to cook. I need your name and address and you should have everything within the hour. If not you can have a fifty percent discount."
"Okay thank you," I say then give her my name and address.
"Have a nice day," she says then hangs up.
"Sure," I say to the silence as I place the phone back.
I wonder if my grandfather's money is still buried out across the yard. Yeah, you read correctly. My grandfather didn't trust banks and had buried his money all over the yard. I think he has about a million dollars maybe even a little more buried. How he earned so much money I'll never know.
I walk out of the kitchen and head back to the living room. Playing the DDR game is Kisame and Deidara with Kisame winning. Tobi is playing Pac-Man, Hidan is on the pinball and everyone else is on the couch with Leader in the room next to Konan and Laura.
"Okay the food will be here in about an hour, if not we get a fifty percent discount," I inform the occupants of the room.
"They better fucking hurry up with the fucking food."
"Yay we're getting pizza," Laura says smiling.
"Yep, now to get money to pay for the pizza," I say. "Want to help me dig the yard up for money?"
Kakuzu's head immediately snaps up after I finish asking my question that I'm surprise he didn't break his neck. "Dig up money?"
"I was asking Laura," I reply.
"Sure I'll help," Laura answers.
"I'll help too," Kakuzu says.
"You just want to help so you can get money," I reply crossing my arms.
"Yes," he replies honestly. "I'm also charging a fee for helping."
"I'll give you two hundred but that is it," I say.
"That's good enough for now," Kakuzu says.
"Where will we dig," Laura asks.
"Look for a spot marked with yellow paint," I reply.
"Okay," she says.
With a nod the three of us leave going to the kitchen for the back door. I walk over to the small nearby shed and pull out three shovels. Laura grins as I hand her one and she skips off to find a spot to dig. Kakuzu takes his and walks off. Shrugging, I also start searching for yellow painted spots in the overgrown backyard.
"Kahlan what if we can't find a yellow painted spot," Laura asks.
"I think there is a small stick with a yellow flag in the ground you can also look for," I reply.
"Okay," she calls back.
"This yard needs to be cleaned," Kakuzu says.
"Thanks we can add that to our list of things to do," I shot back slightly annoyed.
Turns out I was wrong about being sticks with small yellow flags. So we are stuck hoping for the best when we started digging at random. Digging with everything over grown is hard for Laura and I but Kakuzu seems to have no problem. I blame it on him being a ninja.
It takes almost an hour to find some of the correct spots. Next time I'm going to see if grandfather left a map to where each pile of money is bury, so when the yard gets fixed up I'll be sure to mark it that way the spot is never forgotten.
"It's so hot," Laura says with a pout as we walk into the cool kitchen. Kakuzu has his two hundred dollars though I suspect he has more hidden in his pockets, while Laura and I both have a few hundred dollars on us.
"I know," I reply wiping the sweat off my forehead. "There's supposed to be a huge storm tonight and supposedly it's going to cool everything off."
"It's been doing a lot of raining lately," Laura comments as the doorbell rings.
"Yeah it has; let's go see who that was."
The three of us make our way out of the kitchen, through the dining room down the hallway to the foyer. Konan is the one to have answered the door. Outside, is the pizza delivery boy who looks like he's still in high school. The boy is looking at Konan in amazement.
"Wow that's a really great Cosplay costume," the boy says. "Did you buy it or make it?"
"What do you mean," Konan asks sounding a tad bit confused.
"Not good," Laura mumbles.
"Your Konan costume looks really cool. She's one of my favorite Akatsuki members. Plus she's the hottest females in the Naruto series."
"What are you talking about," Kakuzu asks moving forward.
"I'm talking about the most amazing anime series with the coolest and badass evil organization ever," the boy replies. "You can't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about. Everyone knows who the Akatsuki are they are that amazing, which is why you guys are probably dressed up like them."
"Thank you so much," I quickly say rushing forward.
"Are you having like some Naruto, Akatsuki party going on," the boy asks.
"You'll never know," I reply shoving a hundred in his hands as I take the food and drinks from him. "Keep the change."
"I want to join I love the Akatsuki," the boy says but I close the door on him before anything else can be said.
"How does that kid know about our organization," Kakuzu asks glaring.
"No idea," I lie. "Now let's have lunch."
"Not so fast," Kakuzu says. "Leader must be informed about this information."
Kakuzu walks out of the foyer and I spare a look at Laura. She looks slightly worried. I turn to Konan and see she looks slightly curious. Biting on my lower lip I decide it's best if I make a fool of myself.
"Lunch is here," I yell running out of the foyer past Kakuzu and into the living room.
I purposely make myself trip causing the soda to fall and roll away. The pizzas fly out of my arms but thankfully stay in their box. As for the teriyaki and buffalo chicken, they land on me along with the sauce that goes with them ruining the dress Mei gave me.
"Damn did you have to waste some of the fucking food?"
"Oops sorry about that," I say trying to sound like I mean it.
"Leader," Kakuzu says walking in taking the attention away from me.
Thinking fast I shout the first thing that comes to mind, "A few days ago I saw Deidara checking Sasori out when he wasn't looking!"
