The sun fell lightly onto Fukuko's face as she stayed sleeping on a bed of red silk blankets which matched the curtains by the glass window. The four poster bed stood grandly in the stone room .Pressed against the walls were several tables that were covered in many clay sculptures, most of birds and other small animals.

A tiny grey wolf cub laid beside its newly found mother, its head rested on her arm as it whined lightly for her to wake.

Knock Knock

I groaned and threw a cushion at the door. "Five more moments!"

Knock Knock!

"GO AWAY!" I yelled in annoyance trying to turn my back on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK!

"Fine!" I growled trying to sit up, "I'm coming!"

Something prevented me from moving away from the bed. My hands trailed down to my stomach. I felt cold metal against my fingertips.

A long metal chain was wrapped around my stomach, keeping me tied to the bed.

I screamed and tried to wiggle free. I bit endlessly at the chain trying to break it, only to chip my tooth and bruise my belly.

I fell hopelessly on my back upon the bed. Great, another great escape that only led to more problems.

Something fidgeted underneath me and yelped in pain.

I quickly sat up sweat-dropping as the small cub from before crawled out. I reached out a hand and stroked it gently as it wagged its small tail.

KNOCK KNOCK

"You still here?" I grinned running my hand lightly along its back to a wooden panel next to it, properly belonging to a set of drawers. "So it was you who was trying to wake me up?"

The cub barked lightly and leapt onto my bruised stomach.

I winched in pain and stroked it, "I still need to name you"

The cub sat down and I could feel its tail wagging against my belly.

Does this pup enjoy harming me?!

"How about Bob?"

The cub whined and bit my hand.

"Ow!" I moaned, "I was joking!"

Clutching my hand, I tried to think of another name.

"What about. . . Alix? Means Defender"

The cub barked excitedly and leapt around in circles. I groaned and pushed him off.

"You're meant to protect not injure me" I whined.

Alix stopped and whined as well.

I narrowed my eyes playfully, "So it's a contest you want?"

Alix growled and barked again. Soon we were both involved in a long match of who can whine the longest and loudest.

Have to pass time some how.

"CAN I PLAY?!"

I jumped and fell of the bed in fright. Well, I would of. But thanks to the chain I was left dangling by the side of the bed instead.

"Who are you?" I yelled trying to pull myself up, only to get tangled.

"Tobi" was the cheerful reply, "I'm your new partner"

"Partner?" I muttered still trying to free myself. "What do you mean?"

"Tobi is a bad boy!" Tobi said in a silly voice. "Tobi will prove to Deidara-Sempai that I do belong in Akatsuki!"

"Deidara is your Sempai?" I sighed and begun to chew on the metal again, "You have great taste"

"Deidara-Sempai told Tobi to come here and check on FuHina!"

"FuHina? Who is th- oh!!!" I grinned slightly remembering my new name. "Ok Tobi, how about you be a good boy and help FuHina free of these chains? They're giving me such a sore tummy"

"Yes! Tobi is, Tobi is a good boy!"

I could hear Tobi's footsteps coming closer to me. I held out my tangled hands and grinned, "That's it Tobi, Good boy!"

Tobi untied me and threw the chains to the other side of the room. I stood back up rubbing my wrists.

"Now Tobi" I said slowly, "What does Deidara-Sempai want with me?"

"Sempai said FuHina was pretty girl!"

My cheeks burned slightly and I laughed nervously, "No Tobi, What does Akatsuki want with me?"

Tobi stayed silently as we both heard more approaching footsteps from down the hall.

I freaked out as I recognise the voice.

"Tobi un, where are you?"

"HIDE ME!" we both screamed pushing each other out of the way.

"Tobi doesn't want to be told off!" Tobi freaked pushing me onto the bed and running off.

"But I don't want to be here!" I yelled after him.

Standing back to my feet, I tried to follow where I last heard Tobi's voice.

CRASH!

Before I released what just happened, I found myself back on the floor.

"Where do you think you're going un?"

"Err. . . ." I rubbed the back of my neck nervously, "Just getting a glass of water"

"Right un" Deidara chuckled taking hold of my hand, "How you get free?"

"Err. . . . Tobi did it"

Deidara didn't ask me any more questions and pulled me back to my feet.

I tried to pull my hand free. Deidara kept a firm hold on it as he pulled me back towards the bed.

I needed to get free, but with something told me Deidara wasn't going to let me escape for the third time.

For now, it looked like I'll have to wait patiently and find out what's happening around here.

"Hey Deidara-" I asked.

"Hmm?"

Before I could finish my question I suddenly screamed and pulled my hand free. Something had licked me. Something on his hand had licked me!

"What was that?!" I asked keeping my hands away from him.

"My hand" he replied simply.

"But it licked me!"

"How do you like your new room un?" Deidara asked quickly, "You'll be staying in here for a long time."

"My room?" I glanced around and sweat-dropped. "Oh yeah, the colours are amazing. Brings out the white in my eyes"

"Glad you like my room un" Deidara said sarcastically.

"Your room, but you said it was mine!" I whined.

Deidara chuckled again, "You could always go back to the dudgeon"

"Where's the spare bed?" I asked quickly, "It will be like a constant sleepover!"
