The akatsuki cloak burial
This is a memo of thanks to the reviews I've got for this story. I'm sorry this has been so slow. I've had to take a shit load of tests but it'll be ok soon. There are a lot of ideas I have for this story before I end it. Anyway, I just want to thank you all again. Tell your friends about this story. Enjoy!
Pein and roni walked through the creamy marble halls of E.R industries in a comfortable silence. Roni, not usually silent, decides to keep her mouth closed, seeing in her peripheral that Pein looked deep in thought. His eyes were narrowed, looking to the ground in an almost meditative manner. She didn't even catcher herself staring as an upcoming wall was soon coming into view. Still roni looked deep into his citrine gaze.
'He looks so calm and collected with himself…and yet, there is something about him that has the word panic all over his features…' roni noted absently. Suddenly as the thought left her mind, she felt her self be snatched away and into a dipping position in Pein's arms.
"The wall. You were going to hit it." He said calmly, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice. Roni caught it anyway, and smirked.
"Thanks, but don't you think I know my own towers?" she asked, one golden eyebrow rose. Pein smirked at her. Roni looked at the predicament they were in.
"Um, I can walk Pein-sama. Thanks for saving me from the bad, bad wall." Roni said playfully. Pein smiled and put her back up straight. Roni smiled and headed towards his temporary room.
"Well, here it is. One of my many humble abodes."
Roni said bowing, before opening the door for him to see this room. Pein looked around the mansion sized suite. He looked back at roni, bowing his head slightly.
"Thank you, ms roni. I am very grateful for you to have me as your guest." Roni waved her hand in a silencing manner.
"Nonsense. It's a pleasure to have some company. I missed my girls and was very curious about the akatsuki." Pein narrowed his eyes.
"This reminds me, how did you hear about the akatsuki?" roni rolled her eyes.
"Everyone knows about the akatsuki. I keep in touch with every criminal lord in the world. I pay the bills. I say when everything's ok. You could say I'm the big boss. It's also my job to know. I have to know every and any new or old organization. How else would I have gotten this?" roni said, holding her hands up for Pein to see her accomplishments. Pein raised an impressed eyebrow.
"Beautiful and powerful. My kind of woman." He said, leaning against the threshold of the door." Roni shrugged.
"Pick a number and get in line sweetie." Roni said. Pein chuckled. He thought as much. Who wouldn't want a woman like that? She's gorgeous, independent and she's an assassin. What more could he ask for?
"Well, I best be going. Lots of important things I have to do tomorrow. So, see you later, Pein." She said, waving as she left to the elevator at the end of the hall. He waved back slightly before going in his room for the time being.
-the next day-
The akatsuki leader was awoken the next mourning not knowing where he was. He sat up out of bed, looking around the well furnished red, black and white room. He sighed in relief, knowing that he was in one of the four buildings of elegant rose industries. The leader rubbed his face, laying back down, staring at the white ceiling with narrowed eyes. It seems the first thought in his head wasn't 'where am I?' anymore as much as it was 'who was that beautiful woman?' He was ripped from his thoughts when a knock came at the door. He looked at it before, putting on a shirt and answering it, revealing the same limo driver but this time she had on a maid outfit.
"Hello there mister Pein sir. I'm here to bring you breakfast!" she said as she rolled a cart of various foods in the spacious well furnished room. Pein stepped aside for Giselle to come in.
"Enjoy your food! Oh and ms roni wants to see you in her office along with the rest of the akatsuki." She said in perky chipper voice, reminding him of a black haired Delilah. He grunted, closing the door as she left. Pein looked at the variety of food brought to him. He looked at it like it was from another planet of some sort. He picked up a pancake, inspecting it, as if it were some sort of alien.
"You know, it's not gonna bite you Pein-sama. It's food." The akatsuki leaders' orange gaze turned to the feminine voice in the threshold of his doorway, narrowing his eyes slightly.
'I didn't even feel her chakra..." he thought to himself in hidden astonishment, it seems this roni character never ceases to amaze him. It made him wonder what else she was capable of. Roni went up to him, sitting on the unmade bed. Pein took in what she wore. Her skin tight deep blue, almost black pants looked painted on, and matched her black pumps just nicely. Her shirt consisted of what looked like a black nightgown, the black frills hung on to her figure just as nicely. Her silky blonde hair was in golden curls, falling to the small of her back and shoulder as she looked at him with an added eyebrow raised.
"If you like what I'm wearing so much, I can buy you the same thing, and they're right down the street." Roni joked, taking Pein out his deep concentration on her. Pein looked at her before smirking, sitting down next to her.
"So what brings you to me, Ms. Roni?" Pein asked politely. It wasn't like he was complaining. He loves the company. Roni smiled warmly at him.
"Well, I came to escort you to my office. I have some things to discuss and I think it would be great if you and the rest of the guys come and hear what I have to say. But, I want you to eat first. It won't kill you, I promise." She said playfully. The leader raised an eyebrow, smirking at her.
"How can I be so sure? You could be lying for all I know." He told her. Roni raised a golden brow to match his citrus one.
"Now why would I bring you all the way to new York just to kill you? And besides, if I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead by now..." she said, winking at him. Roni got up from off the bed and headed to the door.
The leader smiled as roni exited.
'A feisty one she is…' he thought before going in the bathroom.
After he got out, fully dressed, akatsuki cloak and all, he opened the door to reveal roni yet again.
"Hey again, ready to go and speak about things?" she asked. Pein smiled at her happiness and nodded. Roni smiled at him.
"Great, the guys and girls are already at the pent house so let's go." She said. And with that, they went upstairs. After the elevator parted, it revealed the akatsuki guys and girls in pajamas. Roni parted from the leader and sat at her desk.
"So you guys are probably wondering why I called you here so early in the mourning no?" roni asked. The guys and girl nodded sleepily.
"Well, a little birdie told me that it's the akatsuki's first time in New York." Roni said, looking at the guys. The group all looked at the little birdie, also known as Delilah. She gave a nervous laugh before roni started to speak again.
"So, being the great person I am, I decided that you guys should have a proper New York welcome. So what we're gonna do today is go on the biggest shopping spree of your lives. Don't say you don't want to go because I know you are hot in those oh so heavy cloaks. How you carry them around baffles me. So, I want you guys to get dressed in some regular pants and things so we can go take a tour around my favorite place in the whole universe. Fashion avenue in Manhattan. So go, go ahead. Because there is more to come in the next five days." Roni said. Kisame raised his hand.
"Honey, we ain't in school. You don't have to raise your hand." Roni said, suddenly wondering what the leader does to them when she isn't there. Kisame put down his hand and spoke.
"What happens in the next four days if you don't mind me asking?" the shark man said. Roni shrugged nonchalantly.
"Dunno. I'm just makin it up as I go along." She said. She shooed them out the room, the girl were particularly exited about this. Suddenly as roni was about to start writing a document on her desk, she heard someone clear their throat.
"Yes sir?" she asked, not taking her eyes off the document. She felt the akatsuki leader immense chakra come at her and sit on the edge of her desk. She briefly looked up at him but kept her eyes on her work.
"Is there something you would like to ask me?" roni asked, hiding her annoyance of being stared at for so long.
"Aren't you coming?" he finally asked. Roni stopped writing to look at the orange eyes that stared at her so intently. She put her pen down and rested her hands on one another.
"And why would I come. To keep you company Pein sir?" Pein narrowed his eyes but regained his composure. She was right, but he didn't want her to know that. Not even twenty four hours in here and he had learned to love her company. Not only that but he wanted to see what she liked. What made her tick he caught himself thinking. Roni waited for an answer as Pein kept staring at her.
"Your company would be nice ms roni. So yes, I would like your company." He told her, not trying to beat around the bush. Roni gave him an impressed look.
"Hm. The kind of guy who knows what he wants eh? And not one to beat around the bush I see. Okay, I was gonna say yes anyway but I just wanted to be amused for a while." She said truthfully. Pein looked at her for a moment before narrowing his eyes.
'She is toying with me?' he thought. He wasn't angry with her. He was a game player himself. 'Okay, two can play at this game…' Pein smiled at her before getting off her desk.
"Well?" she asked. Pein narrowed his eyes at her. Roni sighed before going up to him. She looked at his cloak, inspecting it for a while.
"You honestly cannot sit here and tell me you aren't hot in this cloak in the always sunny Konoha." Roni couldn't see him, but she knew he narrowed his eyes at her.
And how did you..."
"Know where you lived? My little birdie told me." she smiled at him, then focused her attention back on the cloak, looking at it in disgust.
'Ugh…this cloak is god awful. We really need to change this and fast before I throw up all over it.' She thought silently to herself. She touched the top of peins' collar, starting to button it down. Roni unbuttoned his cloak one at a time. She couldn't lie; he was kinda hot now that she saw his whole face.
'Whoa…' she thought in her head. Roni quickly regained her composure and ripped open the rest of the cloak, narrowing her eyes a bit. He had on regular clothes.
"Well these are some nice clothes. Why don't you just wear this?" she asked. Pein grunted in response.
"Just give me the cloak." She said, holding her hand out.
Pein reluctantly took off his cloak and gave to her. Roni took his cloak, and waited for the rest of the guys to come in. she knew, out of respect for their organization, they'd still come in and wear those god forsaken cloaks. As if on cue, they all came in as she predicted.
"Okay, now I don't understand why your leader thought clouds were in, but you cannot wear those cloaks in my presence. I need you to give them to me this instant." Roni said, holding out her hand. The akatsuki guys narrowed their eyes at her, and then turned to their leader for approval. Pein rolled his eyes.
"We have more at home, just give it to her so we can go." The leader said in a bored tone. The guys stood up and took off their cloaks and gave it to her one by one. Kisame was the last one to give his cloak to roni. They all lay in the middle of the floor in a heap. Roni picked up kisame's cloak first, holding as if showing them off.
"And now for the death of the akatsuki cloaks." She said. Roni held the heavy cloak at the over grown collar in the back before completely ripping it down the middle without effort. The guys look to roni with narrowed eyes as she rip through their cloaks but a knife through butter. After that was done, she clapped her hands together at her job well done.
"Yami, sweetie, please do the honors." Yami stood up from itachi's side and did some hand signs, before blowing fire out her mouth, turning the cloaks to ashes. Roni sighed in contentment.
"Ah, a proper burial. May they rest in piece…well! I don't know about you guys but I think it's time we go do that shopping thing let's go!" she said as her adopted daughters followed her happily. The guys looked at the pile of ash before leaving. Pein would have to speak to her about this.
