Chapter 14

The next day, Tobi got everyone up early again. (And they nearly killed him for it.) They spent the day at the beach without incident this time. They stayed until dark and on the way back to the house, Kitty saw lightning bugs. She was so excited and the others looked at her like she was crazy.

"Has Kitty-chan never seen lightning bugs before?" Tobi asked. She shook her head and continued to stare at the blinking lights. "Then Tobi will show you what to do!" Tobi volunteered. He ran inside and grabbed two jars with holes poked into the lids. He set the jars down and chased the bugs around and caught one. He carefully opened his hands and let it crawl onto Kitty's hand. She was thrilled.

When it flew away, she chased it. Tobi and Kitty ran around catching as many bugs as they could and they put the bugs into the jars. Tobi caught six bugs not including the one he gave to Kitty. Kitty caught…a lot. She had to let a few go because the jar got to full.

(And by this time, everyone except for Itachi went inside and to their rooms.)

"Sugoi! How did Kitty-chan catch all those lightning bugs?" Tobi asked.

"Hehe hunter's instinct nya?" Kitty said.

"Sugoi! Imagine what Kitty-chan could do with a human!" Tobi said.

Tobi's imagination! (Hold on! This could get…weird or dangerous or messy…or all of the above!)

"Kitty-chan! Go catch this person!" Tobi ordered as he handed her a picture of the culprit.

"Hai, Tobi-sama," Kitty said. Tobi tilted his head and wiggled his finger in a "no no" motion. "Gomen, Tobi-kun," Kitty corrected.

"Ii ko!" Tobi cheered. Kitty disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later with the bound culprit. "Ii ko!" Tobi cheered again. He jumped up from his throne and stood within an inch in front of Kitty. He petted her and she nuzzled him. He tilted her head up using his thumb and pointer finger.

She blushed and said, "Tobi-sama."

"It's Tobi-KUN, Kitty-chan," Tobi corrected her. "Demo in this case, Tobi will let Kitty-chan call Tobi, sensei," Tobi said seductively.

"Tobi-sa-" Kitty started before she caught herself. "S-sensei," Kitty said nervously as she blushed.

"Ii ko," Tobi said as he took off his mask and leaned down. She closed her eyes as he kissed her.

End Tobi's mind theater! (What a pervert! XD)

"Tobi-kun nya?" Kitty asked as she poked him. He shook his head and looked at her.

"Nani?" he asked.

"You were just standing there staring at the sky nya," Kitty explained.

"Gomen, Kitty-chan!" Tobi said with a laugh. She didn't seem convinced. "Tobi is fine, Kitty-chan!" Tobi reassured her.

"You're weird, Tobi-kun nya," Kitty said with a smile.

"Tobi-kun? What happened to sensei?" Tobi asked her rather loudly.

"Nani nya?" Kitty asked.

"Sensei! Why didn't you call Tobi, sensei?" Tobi yelled as he grabbed her shoulders. He shook her yelling "call Tobi, sensei!" over and over. Her eyes span around in her head. Itachi grabbed Kitty away from Tobi and carried her inside. She muttered as her head span and she sounded like she had really gone crazy.

"Imouto!" Konan cried as she ran over to Itachi (who was still holding Kitty). "What happened?" Konan asked furiously.

"Tobi happened," Itachi said. Tobi walked in the door and Konan's attention snapped over to him.

"You," Konan said, her words dripping with venom.

"N-nani?" Tobi asked nervously.

"You did THIS to her!" Konan yelled at him. Itachi turned around so Tobi could see what Konan was referring to.

"Kitty-chan!" Tobi said as he rushed over to her. Konan moved in front of Kitty and held Tobi back. "Tobi's sorry!" he whined. He tried to reach Kitty, but Itachi took a few steps back. "IIE! Tobi's sorry!" Tobi whined again.

"You are banned from Kitty for the rest of the vacation!" Konan declared.

"NANI? IIE!" Tobi wailed.

"You are to stay away from her until we go home!" Konan said.

"Demo-" Tobi tried.

"Iie," Konan interrupted him.

"Onegai," Tobi pleaded.

"Iie," Konan said. She turned around and Itachi handed Kitty to her. Konan walked upstairs to their room and Tobi rolled around on the floor and sobbed. Itachi smirked at Tobi before following Konan.

"Tobi doesn't wanna stay away from Kitty-chan. Tobi CAN'T stay away from Kitty-chan," Tobi said to himself. He pouted and complained about "mean, old Konan."

Konan lied Kitty down on the bed and sat down beside her. Konan gently brushed some hair out of her face and leaned against the head board.

"Nee-san nya?" Kitty asked as her eyes opened.

"I'm here, imouto," Konan said as she stroked Kitty's hair.

"What happened nya?" Kitty asked.

"Oh nothing much. Go back to sleep," Konan said with a smile.

"I…" Kitty started with a small blush. Konan smiled and lied down beside Kitty.

"Better?" Konan asked. Kitty nodded. Konan wrapped her arms around her and pulled Kitty closer. "How 'bout this?" Konan asked. Kitty nodded slowly. Konan pulled Kitty's head to her chest and nuzzled her. "You are so kawaii," Konan said.

"Hn," Kitty said simply. She was tired and she didn't feel like talking. And she couldn't sleep without being close to someone. She got used to sleeping with Itachi and she couldn't go back to sleeping alone. When she was alone, she had nightmares. When she was alone, it reminded her of all her nights back in that hell hole of a laboratory.

"Imouto?" Konan asked, but Kitty was already asleep. "Ii ko," Konan said as she petted Kitty. 'I guess I'll have to ask her tomorrow,' Konan thought. She smiled at Kitty and let herself fall asleep.

Downstairs, Tobi was still sulking. He could not and would not stay away from Kitty-chan. He started to formulate a plan to get Kitty-chan back. He would show Konan. Oh yes. He would show her.
