Recap

"You need you rest, I'll wake you up when it's time for dinner so get some sleep missy." Konan whispered lightly to me in instruction, I nod my head in return turning over to my side with my eyes closing in unknown tiredness. Well I haven't slept properly in months so it wasn't a surprise. Soon I found myself going into a true peaceful slumber, in an actual bed this time, and I couldn't have been happier.

I've never been happier.

Chapter Three

"Yumi-chan, oh Yumi-chan, wakey wakey!" I heard a distant voice in my head say to me though it was enough to wake me from my blessing sleep that I oh so am grateful for. I pushed open my eyes to find a blurring figure standing above me, when I saw it was a male one I instantly thought of my blue-skinned friend. I hope he was my friend.

"Kisame." my voice croaked out as the arms of the figure picked me up out of the warming covers and placed me on . I listened to a light chuckle ripple through my ears and it didn't sound familiar to Kisame's, this was a different person. I turned my towards the mysterious person to be met with nothing, except an orange swirly mask with a hole in it and the red clouded cloak on.

"W-who are you?" I asked a bit freaked out, I didn't know their was more here. I thought Kisame introduced me to everyone. Maybe he forgot about him, I was afraid he would be mean like those other guys but when he spoke it made me feel relaxed on the inside.

"My name is Tobi! Konan-chan sent me to come get Yumi-chan so Yumi-chan could come eat dinner with everyone!" he spoke in excitment with a tone that made me giggle at him, why was he speaking in 3rd person though. I didn't mind it though because the way he did made me laugh and I haven't laughed in a long while.

"Hello Tobi, do you know where Kisame is?" I questioned in as to why he got me instead of Kisame, not that I minded but still.

"Kisame-sempai is in Leader-sama's room talking about who knows what and while Konan-sempai was cooking she told Tobi to come get Yumi-chan since Tobi is a good boy!" he spoke loudly out as we made our way, well Tobi kind of skipped, down the empty he hallway and toward the dinning room where everybody must be waiting. Once we made it through the door Tobi started calling out excitedly again to the waiting people in the room who had an annoyed look when he walked in.

"Tobi is here with Yumi-chan because I'm is a good boy!" Tobi called out holding my hand and pulled me next to him even though I kind of already was, he raised my hand high enough to where my feet didn't touch the ground no more. Leaving me squirming a bit in discomfort but I let it go when I saw Konan coming up to me with a smile on her face.

"Good boy Tobi." Konan said causing Tobi to put me down as he started running around the room chanting how he was a good boy, it was really funny if you asked me. I smiled at Konan, watching her make her way to me before picking me up in her arms causing me to see everyone at the table. Did I mention the table was really high up?

I looked at the people near the table, minus the now sitting Tobi who was rubbing the back of his head in pain, to find them looking at me. I noticed that Hidan, the red-haired man, and Kakuzu were here with no Itachi or Kisame while the 2 other people who were looking at me I haven't seen before.

"Guys this is Yumi, Yumi this is the organization. Guys introduce yourself." Konan ordered to them with a warning tone in her voice but I didn't give it a second thought as I kept my head down a bit watching my fiddling thumbs. I raised my head as the man closest to my left started speaking, he had long blonde hair with blue eyes that had mascara surrounding it.

"I'm Deidara and I make artistic clay bombs so don't get on my bad side or i'll blow you up, and I'm partners with the annoying freak Tobi, un." Deidara introduced making me a bit freaked out, he wouldn't do that would he. Well hopefully I wouldn't have t find out. And why was he talking bad about Tobi?

"I'm Sasori, I believe in eternal life and I make puppets, I'm partners with Orochimaru." said the red-head in a bored tone as if he could care less, which he probably could.

"The names Hidan and don't forget it, bitch!" the man early before, Hidan declared out suddenly making me jump a bit in Konan's arm who gave him an irritated look in return, he just smirked as he leaned back in his chair. The one next to him was the man I saw in the kitchen earlier, Kakuzu, who just plainly looked at me.

"We've already met but I'll say it again, my name is Kakuzu and my partner is Hidan." he said nonchalantly as he gazed back at the table leaving me to gaze my eyes to the next person across the table, due to the two chairs next to him being empty, and onto Tobi who replied happily.

"My name is Tobi and I'm a good boy! My partner is Deidara-sempai!" he happily told, well yelled to me, causing everyone at the table to groan in annoyance. I thought it was a bit rude because Tobi seemed like a nice funny guy, I didn't see a reason to disrespect him like that. But then again, I haven't been here that long so I wouldn't know.

"Shut up Tobi!" Deidara growled in anger making me flinch once again and I listened as Tobi quieted down so the next person could go up, now this guy REALLY scared me. He reminded of a snake of some sort with long black and yellow eyes that had purple marks outlining it along his super pale skin. He was watching me with a wierd look in his eyes, I felt as if were trying to see inside my soul so I averted my eyes toward the table piece in front of him hopefully to make him stop.

"I'm Orochimaru and I must say you have very strong chakra coming from you, little one." Orochimaru smirked at me evilly in which I felt my insides twist in fear. Who was this guy? Did he naturally look this ... evil like? He had a look in his eye that made me tremble and I didn't like it one bit, not at all. I fixed my gaze on Konan quickly as he started to lick his slimy lips with his tongue which I undoubtedly found very creepy.

"Well why don't we start eating then, Yumi you can sit in Zetsu's seat since he doesn't eat with us. It's right next to Hidan." Konan instructed me sweetly not noticing my discomforted look upon my face, caused by the snake guy who I felt burning a hard gaze into my back. I shivered lightly as Konan set me down lightly on the floor before she walked off through the kitchen doors leaving me alone in front of these ... men. I hesitated at first but I made my way to the chair next to Hidan with a lighter limp than before, I could barely feel the pain now just a little sting, and turned to sit down next to him.

I finally took notice at how tall the table and chairs were when I faced a challenge, this chair had literally came to greeting with my lower torso. I thought for a moment to why chairs were this tall but I briefly forgot that it's been a while since I've sat in one so I guess it would take me by surprise. So using my arm strength I gently lifted myself onto the cushion seated chair, bring my right leg up first for support before I planted my bottom on the seat to find that I had a another problem. The table was a bit higher than me, it wasn't tall to the point I couldn't see over it, it was actually the thing I could do. See over it. The tip of the table met with the end of my small nose and I swore I could see every speck of wood and crumbs on it. This was outrageous, now what am I going to do? I hope they had a scroll book to help me.

I heard heavy chuckling next to me and my mind instantly snapped in realization that it was Hidan, I looked up at him to find that he was laughing at me and my situation. It didn't take a dummy to know that he was laughing at that since I noticed everyone looking at me in amusement.

"Having trouble, puny?" he asked in laughter and mockery which I found a bit mean, I know I was small with my height but it did come to it's advantages but then again it didn't really help with this one.

Ignoring him, I tried another method by bring my body carefully to my knees in hope of solution. It did help a bit with my chin now meeting the top of the table, it would have to do since I didn't have another choice. I turned my gaze up at Hidan who returned my look with a smirk and amusement set on his face, I looked away just to start fiddling with my fingers again. I really need to fix this habit.

"What village are you from?" I heard someone ask, surprised I snapped my to the owner just to find that it was from the slither man himself. I didn't know whether to answer him but with his wierd eyes on me with a patient look on his face I knew I had to answer for some reason.

"Kirigakure." I answered quietly to which I didn't know if he heard it but the nod of head told me he did, even that gesture creeped me out even more.

"How old are you?" he questioned this time a smirk pulling onto his face, I fidgeted with a my thumbs a bit more keeping my eyes averted to the table in front of him. Why was this guy so intimidating and he wasn't even doing anything.

"Seven." my conscience telling me to stop talking but I didn't know what would happen if I didn't answer so I kept on as did he.

"Ahhh young, very young I might say." he said in a menacing tone making my spine shiver in discomfort.

"Have you had any training?" he asked with a bit of hope in his voice but I shake my head in response keeping my head down looking at my lap. I felt his eyes on me and I didn't like it one bit, it felt wierd like he was trying to see my soul or something. His wierd eyes and pale skin made it even worse, he looked like an actual snake in my opinion.

"Alright guys dinners ready, go grab some. And don't grab alot Hidan I mean it." Konan burst through the door with two plates in her hand already and not even a second later everyone, except Sasori who sat with a bored expression, disappeared into the kitchen to prepare their food. Konan came over to me placing a plate of homemade macaroni in front of me with a light smile.

"I didn't know what else you liked so I just made you another plate of this." she explained, placing the smoking bowl of delicious macaroni in front of me, well of my face, and I inhaled the amazing aroma.

"It smells nice, thank you Konan." I thanked her with an appreciation grabbing the fork she handed me and started devouring the smooth tasting food once again with the same satisfying taste as before.

"Oh sorry that, I'll try to find some support next time." Konan gestured to my sitting n as she noted my neck straining to gulp down the food, not wanting to waste any on the floor not table. I shake off her concern with a small smile, chewing my food in delight.

"It's okay, really. It's just nice to have some place to sit. Thank you again." I said quietly with another set appreciation, this one devoted to her kindness that I never really got from anyone. Well except Kisame and so far Tobi, and I couldn't be happier I didn't exactly no their intentions to do with me but with their kind gestures I hope it was something good.

Although, it could be something else. Was it to gain my trust and at the right moment betray me? I don't know, I'm still a bit unsure about it but with this enchanting food in front of me how could I not fall for it? I'm still surprised they were helping me, I was expecting them to either run away or try to kill me when they found out I was a monster. But it was the exact opposite, completely opposite, it was like they accepted me with open arms. Who were these people? And I wondered why did they call themselves an organization? Were they like a club or something? Yea a club full of groan people living in the same house.

"Yea, we're not used to kids being here. Your actually the first kid we ever had here." Konan said bringing me out of my questioning thoughts to see her and a few other members already back from their kitchen visit, seating back into their spot as before with full plates in front of them soon decreasing as they started eating. Except for Tobi and Sasori who sat still, what's with them?

"How come?" I asked without thinking as it slipped out with my curiosity getting the best of me, I might as well get as much information as I could. Wouldn't you have if you stayed in a place with a bunch of people and didn't know anything about them?

"Well let's just say that this place is not a place for kids." she answered taking a bit of her sushi, I was curious to why I was here then.

"Why am I here then?" I asked placing my fork into the bowl, my macaroni long forgotten as I stared at her in confusion. I didn't know what to think now, were they planning something? If I wasn't meant to be here matter fact not suppose to be then why was I in the first place? I notice everyone had returned back to their seat but none of them touched their food as they were to busy focusing on us to eat.

"Yumi ... you have something ... special. Inside of you which we think could help us." Konan answered again but for some reason that reply didn't really help me, How could I help them? I'm a monster.

"How can I help you, what do you guys do here?" I questioned but it goes unanswered when the kitchen doors swing open to show Kisame, Itachi, and a strangely full body pierced man with radiant orange hair walked in. I felt a smile creep onto my face when I see Kisame who smirks down at me.

"Hey kid, I see you've met the others already." Kisame chuckled as he sat himself next to me with no food plate in his hands, wasn't he going to eat. I realize that Itachi didn't have a plate either, I hope they weren't starving themselves. Can't be, they looked to healthy to do so.

"Why aren't you eating?" I asked quietly to him hoping he would only hear but when Hidan chuckled behind I knew it didn't go unheard.

"I'm not hungry at the moment, kid. But we do need to talk to you though so hurry up and eat." he said with a smirk and I didn't know what he meant by 'we' but guessing with the fact that Itachi only sat there with look on his face I couldn't describe I took a hint it might have been him. I looked down at my plate of food to see I only had a few scoops left. So, devouring my last few bites I climbed off of the towering chair and on to my feet.

Being the neat freak I am I went on my tip-toes to grab my yellow smeared plate but I was met with difficulty since I couldn't really see it. Not to worry though, because soon my situation was handled when Kisame went ahead and grabbed it himself with a chuckle.

"You really are short, kid." he commented on me as he brought his arm around my abdomen and lifted me onto his side in which I wrapped my arms around his neck in security. We made our way out of the room, with certain weird eyes on us but I tried my best to ignore it. We exited the room and out the door back into the bedroom hallway where he this time he turned to his left and continued on with Itachi following behind us.

"Where are we going?" I asked Kisame curiously as we went down the unfamiliar part of the hallway I had yet to adventure, it didn't have as many doors as the other one but it still had a good amount. I wonder what they led to?

"We are going to see Leader, he wants to meet with you." Kisame replied with a serious look on his face one I hadn't seen, one not this determined. What was in store for me? I hope it was good.
