Chapter 10
Pein's P.O.V.
"Where the hell are those boys? They should've been here two hours ago!" I shouted. "Maybe they just got held up or something?" Konan suggested.
I scoffed. "Yeah right." "Well you never know dear, they could've gotten in trouble for something. You know Hidan. Always getting into some sort of trouble." She sighed.
"You're right. Maybe I'm growing to become paranoid with them gone so long." I sighed. "You can go check on them if you want to. I don't mind at all." Konan smiled.
I nodded and stood up. "I won't be long." I told her grabbing my coat out of the closet. I stepped outside and put it on looking at the sky.
It was gray and the clouds looked heavy with rain. 'Better hurry.' I thought to myself. I set off in the direction of the resteraunt that they said they would be eating at.
The little bell on the door chimed as I walked in. "Excuse me miss?" I pardoned as I walked up to the register. "Did you happen to see about seven boys come in here?"
The blond looked at me confused. "Oh!" She exclaimed realizing something. "Yes! They left here about an hour ago." "Where were they headed?" I asked.
"To Seori's house I think." She pondered for a moment while I stared. "As a matter of fact, they did go to her house. Something about seeing if Iame's sister was ok."
"Thanks." I said rolling my eyes. Leaving the store I realized something. Kyomi had adopted all of these girls to live in her house so she wasn't lonely. Some of them were named Iame, Seori and Moiyu.
"These must be the people that girl was talking about," I muttered, walking off in the direction of Kyomi's house knowing full well that the boys would be there.
Iame's P.O.V.
"Iame, I heard you wanted to see me?" Seori asked when she walked into the living room. "Yeah," I said. "I have a task for you." "And that task would be?"
"Everyone wrote down on this list what they wanted to get Moiyu-Chan for her birthday. I need you to go to the store and get them."
"But I don't have enough money for them!" She complained as I gave her the list. "Don't worry. Kyomi gladly gave us the money for them so there's no need to complain." I waved my hand.
"Oh and you and Sasori are going to get them together." I say. "What?! Why?!" Seori shrieks. "Because I have to stay here and supervise, and you needed someone to help you carry all of the presents."
"But why Sasori? Can't it be like Zetsu or that weird Tobi kid?" "No." "Fine. But don't blame me when that kid comes back all bloody." She grumbled as she shoved past Sasori leaving out the door.
Sasori's P.O.V.
"So Seori..." I start, hoping to make conversation. "What?" She snappes at me. "Uh...never mind." I say looking at my feet. "Look, you like me and I don't like you. We need to figure something out to at least semi-get along."
"Well, we could go out somewhere." I suggest. "Are you asking me out?" She asks. "Well...I was kinda hoping..." I trail off suggestively.
"Well...I guess...NOT! You think that just because we're alone means you can put the moves on me?" "Well, yeah." I only had enough time to register he hand coming at my face before she slapped me.
"..." I didn't say anything, just put my hand on my cheek. "Listen here. You're a real jackass you know that? Automatically asuming you can do and say these things to a girl like me." She retorted to my silence.
It started raining after that. Thankfully I brought a coat just in case. I looked as Seori as I put it on. She looked cold, arms wrapped around her torso. She was drenched that much was sure.
I sigh and take off the jacket and put it on her. "Here. You need it more than me." I tell her. She smiles at me but then remembers she's mad at me and frowns.
"Thanks." She says bitterly. "Shit." I breath. "What is it?" She asks looking up. I was staring at the person coming towards us. It was my father of course. I quickly pull Seori into the nearest store.
"What the hell was that for?" Seori demands. "Didn't you see that person?" I ask. "Yeah, so? What about him?" "That is my father. I couldn't let him see me. I would've been soooo dead if I was seen with a girl." I explain.
"Why? It's not like you were doing anything bad." She says. "Well, as he has seen, I have this tendency to be slightly mean to girls." "What do you mean? All you've been is...nice...to...me..." She trails off.
"Well, that's because I feel like I have to be different around you. I want you to like me for who I am." I point to myself as she stares. "Oh..." Was her or so intelligent answer.
"What kind of store are we in anyway?" She asks looking around. "Oh, we're in a StarBucks." I say. "Let's wait for the rain to die down here for awhile." I pull her over to a table.
I pull out the chair for her and then sit across from her. The waiter comes over to ask what we want. I tell them that we just want a regulat coffee.
I hear the door open and hold my breath. Seori looks over my shoulder as I lay my head down on the table. "It's your father." She whispers to me. "Damn." I curse under my breath.
Now all I want to do is turn invisible. What the hell was he doing outside of the house anyway? What business did he have? I look up at the clock to find out it's Seven. We were supposed to be home at five thirty. Shit.
"He's taken a seat two table from behind you. He's looking out the window." Seori informs me. I lean closer to her and look over my shoulder to see that she's right. Except he isn't looking out the window any more. He's watching the waiter come to our table with the drinks.
"Here's your coffee." He says. "Thanks." I say. Seori goes for her wallet but I take mine out first. "Here." I hand him the right amount of money. She looks at me bewildered. "I can't let you pay for this after you were forced to go to the store with me." I analyze.
"That's very kind of you Sasori." The song I'm With You comes on over the speakers. I smile. How ironic. "I like this song." I say. "Me to." Seori smiles at me. "What's this?" I fake surprise. "What?" She gives me a look. "Do we have something in common or am I dreaming?"
She reaches across the table and shoves my shoulder playfully. "Sasori." She laughs. "Hmm? Yes?" "You're father is giving me this, 'are you insane?' look." I look back over at him. He really was giving her that look. I turn around in my chair and flip him off. He glares at me.
Seori laughs harder. "I'm going to get in trouble for that later. And this too." He was giving her that look again. I stood up and stalked over to him. "Would you stop staring at her like that you jackass?" I demand and then go sit back down.
Seori's crying now from laughing so hard. "Well, I feel better." I say. "Why?" She asks whiping a tear away. "Well for one, I got you to laugh that beautiful laugh of yours. Second, got to piss Pein off so much that I'm grounded for a couple of months now." I answer.
"'Well, I'll come to you defense." She sips some of the coffee. "Mmm! This is good! I'm coming back here to have my coffee every day from now on." She declares. "Well then I guess I'll just have to come with you." I declare. "What for?" "I would go any where to hang out with you Seori-Chan."
"Is this a compliment?" She asks suspiciously. "Well, those are the only things I can give a wonderful person like you." She blushes. "That's adorable." I say. "What? What is?" "Your blush. I think it's absolutely adorable on that face of yours."
I drink some of my coffee as she tries to force her blush to go away. That was when someone shouted out "Booner!" and I spit out my drink laughing. Well, I spit it all over Seori. But she wasn't mad like I thought she would be. She was laughing.
"Fine. I get to spit on you too!" She spits her coffee all over me. We laugh together for a good five minutes. "Hey," She says suddenly. "The rain's stopped a little." She points out the window.
"Hey, yeah it is!" I exclaim. "C'mon!" I stand up and walk around the table to her. "Ma'dam." I say, holding my hand out to her. She takes it and I pull her up. "Thank-you sir." She replies. We link arms as we pass chichue's(father)table. "Later." I say.
He glowers at me, and I laugh. What an adventure this was turning out to be.
Kyomi's P.O.V.
"Kyomi-Chan! Why can't I go in the living room?" Moiyu asked me for the tenth time that hour. "Because it's a surprise. But don't worry, you'll see it soon enough." I reassure.
My job was to make sure Moiyu didn't see the living room before it was done. Gir was helping me too because I asked him to keep her occupied with her favorite things. It didn't work as long as we thought.
"Moiyu!~" I sing-song. I had the perfect idea. "Hmm?" She tilts her head. "Let's go to the park and play!" "Yeah! Do you want to come to, Gir?" "Nooo. Gir needs to get something first!" "Like what?" I ask. "My disguise!" He tells us running away down the hall.
"While we wait for him we should have some juice." I walk over to the fridge and open it up. Looking for some juice isn't very hard because we have a lot of it to begin with.
"Here you go." I pour one glass for her and one for myself. Moiyu drinks hers' in a few seconds. She loves juice. I sip at mine thinking about what in the hell would we do at the park.
"Ok, I'm baaaaack! We can go now!" Gir says running into Moiyu's arms. They always do that. Everytime they go outside together Gir alwasy has to be carried my Moiyu.
As we were heading toward the park, I began thinking about the father of the Akatsuki Brothers. Akatsuki rung a bell and all I could think of was Pein. Maybe he adopted them or something. That was a question to ask them later for now.
"Here Moiyu. Umbrella." I hand her mine because I have my hood up and she loves umbrellas. "Thanks!" She takes it greatfully and holds it over Gir and herself.
"Ok Moiyu, what do you want to do first?" I ask her. While we were out I might as well have her drag me around town after the park, right? That would give them enough time. When they were done Iame would text me.
"Hmm...what to do?" She put a finger on her lips, thinking. "Oh I know! We can swing!" She puts Gir down only to grab his hand and race over to the swings.
She puts Gir in the baby-swing and starts to push him. I sit down on the dry part of the bench and notice someone else come and sit beside me.
"It's been awhile." Says the male voice. I recognize it as Iame's dad. He had been trying to get Iame and Moiyu to come back with him. Why Moiyu? Because she was Iames' friend and if Moiyu was taken Iame would go after her, no matter what.
"What the hell do you want?" I growl. "Same old same old, I presume?" "Naturally." He says simply. "Well, go away. Those kids are mine now and, they're happier than when they were with you." "Huh, yeah right." "You wanna bet?" I threaten. And what a hollow threat that was.
I wouldn't ever be able to take this person down. Ever in my life. "Hey!" A distant voice calls. "Is that guy bothern' you?" It asks. "Go away!" Iame's dad barks. But the person does infact not go away, they come right up to him and the person glares.
"Fuck is wrong with you? Can't you see she hates when you're always coming around bothering her? You know if I wasn't off the job right now I would've already killed you." I can already tell it's Pein. "What're you? Some sorta cop or somthing?" "No. If I was don't you think I would've arrested you by now?"
"Well, yeah I guess..." "Good. Now move along before I do kill you." That threat wasn't so hollow. "Bring it." Pein grabs him by the collar of his jacket. "Now see here, I want you to leave because I don't want to get in trouble with the law myself, so if you don't I've got plenty of ways to kill you. Some of which I can think of right off the top of my head, right now. Right this instant." He hissed in his face.
The guy nodded his understanding. "Good." Pein dropped him on the ground. "Now leave." He got up and walked away as if nothing ever happened. "Kyomi-Chan!" Moiyu called running over to me. I opened my arms just in time to catch her as she jumped at me.
"Are you ok Kyomi-Chan? I saw what happened. Did this nice guy save you?" She asked looking up at Pein. "Yes Moiyu." I sighed. "This very nice person is the Akatsuki Brothers's father." "Really? Cool! Hey did you know that Deidara-San likes Iame-Chan? And that Sasori likes my friend Seori but she doesn't like him?" Moiyu questioned. "Well, I didn't know about Deidara and I'm pretty sure that Sasori and Seori both like each other now." He laughed.
Just then my coat pocket vibrated. I took out my phone and looked at the text. "Time to go Moiyu." The party was in motion.
Whoo! Go Chapter Ten! I loved writing this chapter. Sorry for the long wait! Hope this was worth that wait to! Until the next chapter!
