Chapter 2. Tobi
The next morning I woke up at 5 and began adjusting to my new life. I cooked breakfast for everyone, and watched with satisfaction as they wolfed it down. I even got a compliment from Pein. With that accomplished, I was assigned to mop the floors with Tobi.
Tobi: Ok, so the supply closet is here, and all we gotta do is the hallways and the entrance hall. Tobi likes to mop, its fun.
I watched him strap two odd looking scrub brushes to his shoes, pour a large amount of soapy water out of a bucket, and start to skate around me.
Tobi: It's easiest to mop this way, because it is fun and gets done faster. Tobi likes it. Tobi made mop shoes for you too.
Cass: Thank you. I strapped them on and awkwardly stood up. I did a few practice steps before taking off down the hall with Tobi. He was right, it was fun!
Tobi: Tobi thinks that you don't know how to skate very well. You keep stumbling...uh...C...Cassandra. Can Tobi call you a shorter name?
Cass: Um...
Tobi: Great! You are now Cass, unless I feel like saying Cassandra. Ok Cass? Now Tobi will be a good boy and help you skate!
Taking my hand, he swirled me around until I was dizzy and let me go. I rocketed down the hallway, miraculously not falling down. This isn't so hard I thought, as I practiced turning and slowing down. Too late, I heard Tobi's frantic shouting and I went smack into some one. Getting to my feet, I saw Hidan, looking murderously at me.
Hidan: You little brat! How dare you let Jashin sama and his priest fall to the ground! I will kill you!
His skin changed to black with white marks outlining his skeleton, and a wicked looking scythe with three blades appeared in his hand. I fled as fast as I could, Hidan right behind me. Occasionally, he would stumble on the wet floor, and I would gain a few precious feet on him. Unfortunately, he knew the place better than I did, and I soon came across a dead end.
Hidan: Now die, little pig, for insulting Jashin!
Cass: ...But I don't even know who Jashin is!!! I was sobbing by now, and trying to find a way out of this
Hidan: Then you will die for your ignorance!
As he came closer to me, I punched him as hard as I could in the hollow of his neck. He doubled over, and blood spewed from his mouth, but he didn't drop dead. My eyes widened in fear
Hidan: coughing Fool, a servant of Jashin such as myself is immortal!
Cass I shrank back from him, out of ideas. Then I heard footsteps, and Sasori, Deidara, Kukazu, Konan and Tobi appeared behind us.
Kukazu: Hidan! Leave the child alone and take your Triangle somewhere else! Now!
Hidan: She dared to defy Jashin!
Konan: So does everyone else stupid! Now get away from her, it was an accident.
Hidan:...Jashin...Jashin...
Tobi: Tobi thinks that there isn't even a real Jashin, and Hidan just likes upside down triangles because he is stupid!
Hidan: his eyes look like they are about to pop out of his head WHAT!!!!!!
I take that opportunity to run behind Sasori and Deidara. Tobi smiled at me...I think. It's hard to tell with his mask, but I'm pretty sure he did. Grumbling, Kukazu steps up to Hidan, unleashes these tentacle things and cut Hidan's head off. It hit the ground cursing. Konan looked bored, like this happens often. Kukazu then picked Hidan's body up and kicked the bleeding head down the hallway. I guess I'll have to mop again, but it's better than being gutted by a psycho with a scythe. Much better.
Konan: Are you ok Cassandra?
Cass: Yes, thank you so much.
Konan: Thank Tobi, he's the one who got us. Try to be careful around Hidan; he's really obsessed with his...triangle. Once he knows that you aren't afraid of him, he'll leave you alone. All Hidan is is a bully. A really annoying bully that just won't die.
Cass: Thanks Tobi.
Tobi: See, I told you Tobi is a good boy! Tobi thinks you will be a fun friend.
Deidara: Ugh. Don't scare me like that! Be more careful ok?
Cass: Yes Deidara.
Deidara: pats my head That's a good girl un.
He, Sasori, and Konan leave. Tobi and I finish the mopping without further incident, and I prepare lunch. Afterwards, there really isn't much to do, so Tobi gives me a grand tour of the place, which is useful, because all the corridors look the same after awhile.
Cass: So Tobi, how long have you been here?
Tobi: As long as I can remember. Tobi has amnesia, because he was in a bad accident before. That's why Tobi doesn't show any skin at all. Sasori and Kukazu fixed Tobi up the best they could, but Tobi has scars and can't remember anything before he was here. Some of it is coming back to Tobi though, he remembers little things, and Sasori says one day, everything will make sense to Tobi. But even if Tobi remembers stuff, he doesn't want to leave here. I have no where to go back to, and they are good to me here. That's what Tobi thinks.
Cass: Why do you talk in third person Tobi?
Tobi: It's just a habit, but I can stop if you want.
Cass: I think it's cute!
Tobi: Tobi does it also because 'Tobi' isn't my name. Its close, but it's not 'Tobi'.
Cass: So saying your name over and over might help you remember?
Tobi: Yes. So what about you?
Cass: Well, my Mommy died giving birth to me... and I don't have any siblings. My Father and Uncles raised me, but they...they did...
Tobi: Don't talk about it. Tobi understands. he pats me on the back
Cass: Thank you Tobi. I think we will be good friends too.
Tobi: So let's play a game. Tobi will ask a question, and you answer. Then you ask a question, and Tobi will answer.
Cass: Alright.
Tobi: Favorite color?
Cass: Purple.
Tobi: Orange.
Cass: Favorite food type?
Tobi: Sweets.
Cass: Meat.
Tobi: Favorite weapon?
Cass: Senbon.
Tobi: Kunai.
Cass: Favorite type of fighting style?
Tobi: Genjutsu.
Cass: Taijutsu. I'm horrible at Genjutsu, but Ninjutsu is ok.
Tobi: Tobi is good at Genjutsu when he wants, but then Taijutsu. Ninjutsu involves too much memory for Tobi. Favorite animal?
Cass: Jackals.
Tobi: Puppies!
The game keeps going until its time to make dinner. I teach Tobi how to chop vegetables, so we can continue to talk. Everyone sits down to eat, except Hidan. He is still sulking. Konan does the dishes afterwards and everyone goes their separate ways.
Tobi: Tomorrow, we have to do laundry. Tobi hates laundry.
Cass: I don't mind laundry. Goodnight Tobi!
Tobi: Goodnight Cass!
