Part XII:

The door to Usagi's room swung open. The room was a cheery sky blue with hand painted clouds on the ceiling. Around the bottom of the walls, grass was painted along with flowers dotting the scenery. On the right side of the room, was a mural of a dirt pathway with sakura trees on either side. "Do you like it?" asked Usagi. Tobi turned to Usagi, "Tobi thinks Usagi-chan's room is very pretty," Usagi smiled sweetly "arigatou, Kina-san and Riku-san painted the mural for me, and I painted the clouds on the ceiling," Usagi yawned, walking over to her dresser grabbing a small bundle of clothes. "I'm gonna go get changed. While I'm gone, make yourself at home,"

Usagi then walked out of her room with a set of clothes in her possession. Tobi sat down on Usagi's queen-sized bed, patiently waiting for his roommate to return. He looked around a little, taking in his new surroundings. A few minutes later, Usagi came back wearing her pajama, which were a pink short-sleeved shirt with a chibi white rabbit on it, and matching pajama bottoms with the kanji for 'rabbit' written all over them. "Usagi-chan, where will Tobi sleep tonight?" asked Tobi, still swinging his legs like a child. "you'll be sleeping on the bed, Tobi," Usagi replied. "but where will Usagi-chan sleep if Tobi sleeps on the bed?" Tobi asked. Usagi giggled, "I'll sleep next to you silly," Tobi was speechless. He had never been with a girl let alone sleep next to one. The blush he had from a while ago found its way back to his cheeks.

Safia turned the knob to her room opening the door. She walked in, Itachi following close behind her. The walls of her room a dark navy with a hint of a dark purple color, with white and silver stars on the ceiling. On the wall, near the bed, a mural of a gothic style castle and above the castle, perching on a cliff, was a black dragon, with emerald green eyes. It was laying in a calm but protective stance, looking as if it was protecting the castle. The dragon's head was tilted upward as though it were star gazing. Itachi stared at the mural with no emotion. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Safia asked. Itachi turned to her, "This is nothing compared to your beauty, Safia-chan he whispered to her.

Since Usagi and Safia left with their roommates, Kina had been left to show everyone else to their rooms. She had already given rooms to Deidara, Sasori, Konan, and Pein. The only people left in the living room were Hidan, Kakuzu, and Kisame, who was waiting for Kina. "Hidan, Kakuzu, unfortunately, there's only one room left, and you have to share it. Hidan I ask that you don't perform your jashinist emo rituals, or whatever you wanna call them, " Kina cracked up a little about her own joke earning a death glare from Hidan. "and Kakuzu," Kina sighs, "I'm gonna have to ask you to spread 'em," "What?" Kakuzu asked hoping she was kidding. Hidan was currently laughing in hysterics at his partner's situation. "You're fucked now," Hidan laughed. Kakuzu remained on the couch. Kina sighed again, "don't make me haul you off the couch," Kina received no response. Kina started glaring at Kakuzu, "Fine, we'll do this the hard way," Kina grabbed the front of Kakuzu's cloak, yanking him up from his seat. The scene was very strange seeing a young woman about five foot eight holding Kakuzu, who was a head and a few inches taller, by the front of his cloak, both glaring daggers at each other. Kina released her grip on his cloak starting to pat him down like how an officer would search a suspect. She pulled a familiar looking black wallet out of one of Kakuzu's pockets. Kina flipped open the wallet glancing at the I.D. discovering it was Elliott's.

As if on cue, Elliott strolled up to Kina from his room, "Kina have you seen my-," he looks down at his wallet. Then, jumping to conclusions, "Kina, are you stealing money from me again so you can go drinking?" Kina glared at Elliott, "that's a good idea but no, I'm not. I found it on Kakuzu," She threw the wallet, hitting Elliott in the arm with it. Elliott mumbled a few colorful words as he picked up his wallet. Then, he shot a dirty look at Kina as he walked out of the room. Kina, childishly, stuck her tongue out at Elliott, who flipped her the bird in response, "I love you too, Elliott," Kina called to him, her voice full of sarcasm. Kina sighed and turned to the other guys. She smiled innocently, "Elliott's just mad because he got pwned at xbox live last night," Kina turned walking down the hallway. Hidan and Kakuzu followed her down the narrow catching up with her when she was in front of a blank door.
