Summary: Maybe hanging out with another of her 'kind' would help Kagome :p
Kagome had officially sunk to the lowest of the low.
She was baking with Tobi.
Well, it more of the baking that bothered her, than Tobi. Because she rather liked Tobi, for he was...not as serious as the other Akatsuki members.
Anyways, it was almost Leader-sama's birthday, so everyone was assigned to do something. Tobi had volunteered to make the cake, but then, seeing how Kagome wasn't doing anything, he volunteered for her to help him. Kagome was about to protest, but Zetsu said she should, and stuck her with the masked man. She thought it would be rather boring, because she didn't like baking, but somehow, with Tobi, it was fun.
Kagome peered on at Tobi as he finished pouring the ooze into the pan and stuck it in the oven. Tobi reached up to turn the nobs on the oven, then leaned back.
He looked over at Kagome.
"Hey, I have to prepare the meal too. Do you want to help?" Tobi asked, walking towards her.
"Sure," Kagome answered blandly, drooping her eyes. They had been at it for hours. But she was snapped back to normal when she noticed that Tobi was staring at her.
The cat nin turned to look at him. "What?"
Tobi was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"You have some icing on your cheek."
Kagome blinked. She brought her finger up to her cheek and brought it up to her eyes. There was a pint size of icing on her finger.
"How the hell did that get there?" Kagome muttered to herself wearily. She sighed and wiped the rest away with her hand. Kagome started towards the sink to wash it off when Tobi grabbed her wrist.
The cat nin turned around to question him when she gasped.
Tobi lifted his mask so his mouth was revealed and took Kagome's finger into his mouth. Kagome's face flushed uncontrollably as she felt his tongue slide slowly over her finger. She felt herself relax a bit when Tobi pushed her finger out of his mouth, yet her heart was still beating rapidly.
This time it was Tobi's turn to stare at Kagome strangely.
"What's with the look Kagome?"
Kagome looked up at him with wide eyes, not minding the fact that she was still blazing red.
"W-why did you do that?"
"Oh! Did you even remember that you had icing on your finger? Well, I didn't want it to go to waste!" Tobi replied, his voice full of inocence. Kagome gaped at him. He was such a witless wonder, he didn't even notice why people would usually do that to one another.
Kagome sighed inwardly. Well, she was happy about that part. But...the innoence in Tobi's voice was...too inocent. She raised an eyebrow.
"If...Kisame-san had icing on his finger, would you lick it?" the girl asked, placing one hand on her hip. Tobi brought a finger up to his chin as if he was thinking.
"No, I wouldn't," was the masked man's answer. Kagome grimaced.
"Well, why not?"
"Because he might eat it instead of washing it."
Kagome's eyebrow twitched violently at Tobi's naivety. "Anything else?"
"I don't think he would taste as good."
This nearly made Kagome fall over with embaressment. "W-what?!"
Tobi looked to the floor. "Your finger tasted good-"
Kagome blushed...
"-because the icing made it tasty!"
...then fell over.
"Anything ELSE?!" Kagome asked through gritted teeth.
"Uhhh, no," Tobi answered, cocking his head to one side in confusion. He stared at the floor for a few more seconds before bringing it back up. "Well, while we wait for the cake to bake (a/n: tehe I rymed) I'm going to check on Deidara-senpai! You stay here Kagome-chan, I'll be right back!" The masked man jogged out of the kitchen, Kagome staring after him.
What had just happened?
Tobi had licked her finger because he wanted to get the icing but...when Kagome had kept asking him why...she expected, she...hoped, wanted, a different answer. Suddenly, at the thought of that, Kagome felt a dull throb.
She felt.
Sighing to herself, Kagome ploped down into one of the kitchen chairs.
'What the heck is going on lately?'
I'm getting better at this. :3 PLEASE COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!
