Ok I tried to make this one a little longer ^^;
_____________________________________________________________________________
Ayame woke up in a room that seemed familiar to her "This is my room but how did I get here?" Then the memory of Itachi, Deidara and Sasori barging into the hotel room came to her. "Oh yeah.... I must of past out afterwards or something." The door opened and Itachi came in with a tray.
"Oh, you're awake." he closed the door behind him and made his way towards her bed. He sat on the edge, next to Ayame and placed the tray on the night stand next to the bed. "Tobi made mac and cheese, he was worried about you when we got back cause you were past out. So he made your favorite, you should eat and get your energy back up..." It was silent for a moment.
"Go ahead..."
"What?"
"Go ahead! Punish me... scold me! Do whatever, I know you're mad and I should've listened to you. Deidara usually punishes me whenever I do something wrong. I know you want to yell at me at least!" Itachi couldn't listen to her anymore, so he hugged her and she stopped, shocked from what he did.
"...yes... it's true I do want to yell at you.... but... I'm not like that... and I'm definitely not like Deidara. I would never hurt you Ayame, you know that right? I'm just.... I'm just glad we got to you in time.... and that you're not hurt...." They stayed like that for a couple of minutes.
"Itachi... the macaroni is getting cold..."
"Oh, right!" Itachi let go and looked at her. "Well, eat and come down to the living room... I believe everyone, not just Tobi... is worried about you."
"Even Leader-sama?"
"Yes, even Leader-sama..." he closed the door leaving Ayame alone.
She picked up the tray and began to eat "wow! Tobi sure is a good cook!" She finished it and went to her closet to change. She looked around and noticed something on one of the racks... it was the kimono from the festival Hidan took her to... "well... I'm not going to wear that for a while..." She found a red qui pao (a chinese sleeveless dress) hanging up and changed into that, put some of her hair up in chopsticks and rest down. She doesn't usually wear shoes when she walks around her old home back at Iwagakure. "This is home now, I guess..." She left her room barefoot (it's more fun, and makes you feel more free XD) and went to the living room.
When she got there everyone looked up at her. "Wow Ayame-senpai, you look pretty!" Tobi came up and hugged her out of no where.
"Umm.... thank you Tobi... and thanks for the little meal."
"No problem! Tobi was worried about Ayame-senpai cause Tobi is a good boy!" he left the room and went back into the kitchen.
Sasori was next to come to her "Ayame, are you alright? You passed out right when we were about to leave the hotel."
"Yeah I'm fine. I was just tired, I guess..."
"Well... if you need any help, just ask me... my room is right next to Deidara's... unfortunately..."
"Ah, ok. Thank you Sasori." she smiled at him and he smiled back. Sasori went back to where he was on the couch.
An explosion could be heard in the kitchen "TOBI! Bet out of my way, un! I heard Ayame woke up and I want to see her when she gets to the living room, un!"
"B-But Senpai, Ayame-senpai is already in there! Tobi already talked with her! Don't blow Tobi up senpai! Tobi is a good boy!" Tobi ran out of the kitchen, crying out of the one eye hole, and clinging onto Ayame again. He was followed by an angry Deidara.
"Tobi, how many times do I have to tell you?! Stop touching my sister like that, un!" Deidara was trying to pull tobi off of Ayame.
"Deidara-senpai! Please stop pulling on Tobi! It hurts and Tobi doesn't want to let go cause then Deidara-senpai will hurt Tobi even more!" he clung tighter to Ayame and cried more.
"Deidara! Stop that now! You're hurting him and making him cry! You're such a bully." that made Deidara stop pulling on Tobi and let go.
"Ah sorry sorry. So do you want anything special? Chocolate maybe, un?"
"Eh?.." chocolate?!... well when you put it that way *evil laugh* "umm... actually, yeah. If it's alright." adding a tad sad tone to it.
"Of course it's alright! We were worried about you, un!" Deidara left to get chocolate. Pein came from the stairs with Konan behind him and heading towards Ayame.
"Ayame, I heard what happened from Sasori... are you all right?"
"Y-yes Leader-sama. I'm fine. Itachi, Deidara and Sasori got to me just in time... I don't know what I would do if they hadn't of came..."
"Yes.. I don't know what I would do to Hidan if that happened. Well anyway, you should be glad those three care about you so much that they would go and find you just to protect you. So, you don't have to worry if anything goes wrong. You have a great brother who cares for your safety and happiness. Itachi seems to be nice to you, so that's rare for him, and he wants to protect you from harm and people like Hidan. Sasori... he wants you to think of him as an uncle or even a brother at times... at times cause he doesn't want to be Deidara's brother all the time... but he still cares about you. He's always there for advise about others here if you need it."
Ayame tried to analyze what he just said "So, what happened to Hidan though? Did he come back?"
"... no.... not yet...."
"What? Well, do you know where he is?!"
"Zetsu said he was in a clearing not too far from the village... He looked like he was in thought, but it also looked like... his spirit was gone... crushed...."
"Hey Ayame, I got the chocolate for-" Ayame grabbed the bag with lots of chocolate bars and left the base "Hey, wait!" a hand grabbed his shoulder to stop him from chasing her.
"Wait... it's ok. If what Pein said about Hidan's spirit crushed, then it's ok.... she's safe. She may just want to cheer him up a bit, and this might be like a new life for Hidan. A new start." Sasori was the one who stopped him.
"I hope so Danna... I don't want that to happen again, un..."

-With Ayame-
Ayame was running through the trees trying to find the clearing Pein was talking about. "He said it was near the village... so it should be near here..." she looked around and saw sunlight with a figure in the middle. "There!" she went to it and found Hidan sitting in the middle of the clearing looking up to the sky. Ayame sat down next to him and took out a chocolate bar. She broke it in half. "Here, stop sulking and have some chocolate with me. It's not like you, alright?" she handed the piece to him while she took a bite of hers. Hidan kept looking up "..... -twitch-.... Hidan... I'm not mad at you, ok? I just wanted to say... I forgive you... for what you're done. I mean, I know that's not you're true self, right? It's only a cover up... you're actually a nice guy aren't you? Please Hidan, I came here by myself... on my own, cause I was worried about you!... I heard you're spirit... is broken, is it because of what Sasori said?... you shouldn't sulk just because of that! I didn't say that, did I? So why are you so sad? I still want to be your friend Hidan, just... take it slow this time, ok?" Hidan just glanced at her and back up to the sky. "God dammit! I'm trying to give you a second chance here and you just fuck it off! Damn..." she placed the piece of chocolate on the wrapper next to him and started to walk off.
"Why... do you have so much chocolate with you?" Ayame stopped and turned around to see Hidan looking at her with the piece of chocolate in his hand. She started coming back to where she was and sat back down.
"Because Deidara asking if I wanted anything special... then he mentioned chocolate so I immediately took the offer!"
"Why is it special? You can have it all the time, can't you?"
"No... I can't... it's not that I'm allergic, it's just... whenever I have chocolate, I get... really hyper.."
"Oh.."
"But, my body has gotten used to chocolate and will only become hyper when there's a lot... like this" holding up the bag of chocolate bars. They sat there eating the chocolate bars in silence while Ayame was remembering a memory.
-Flashback-
"Deidara-nii-san! Deidara-nii-san!" This was Ayame, 5 years old, running around trying to find her brother in the village. She had her hands in a fist so people wouldn't see her kekkai genkai "maybe nii-san is at that candy shop" she ran to the shop and found Deidara, 8 years old, buying some candy when he spotted her.
"Ah, Ayame! Why are you out of the house, un?! And why did you come into the village?! Mother and father might see you, un!"
"But I was looking for you, nii-san! I was lonely waiting at the house... you're rarely there cause you have to live with momma and poppa..."
"I know, I'm sorry. But I got you candy! All your favorites, un!"
"Yay!" jumping up and down in joy.
"So let's go back to the house and enjoy it, ok? Before they come, un"
"Okay!" they got back to the house and went to the living room. Deidara dumped the contects of the bag onto the floor and Ayame just started picking out her favorites. She noticed a new piece of candy in the pile. "Hey nii-san... what's that candy?"
Deidara looked at what she was pointing at "Oh, that's a chocolate bar, it's the basic candy of all candies, un!"
Ayame's eyes sparkled "Ohh~ Cho-Ko-Lite"
"You want some?" Ayame nodded her head frantically. "Ok ok... here, un" he broke off a piece and handed it to her. She ate it and immediately went rolling across the living room floor "... uhh.... Ayame?"
"More pwease!" he gave her more and she did the same thing just a little faster "more!" this time she was spinning in circles "pwease?" now she ran around the house going into each room making a route. "Nii-san, I want some more pwease?" this time she did all of the above (rolled across the floor faster, spun faster, and ran around the house faster)
Deidara was just staring at her sweat dropping. He looked down at the chocolate. "Ack! There's no more! Ayame, you didn't let me even have one piece, un!" He started chasing her around the house but couldn't catch her so he gave up and just rested on the chair in the living room. Finally ayame stopped running and was sleeping on the floor. Deidara picked her up and went into her room to place her in the bed. He kissed her forehead. "Goodnight, Ayame. I guess I now know you shouldn't have chocolate." He left to fo back to his real house with his parents. From then on, Ayame snuck chocolate behind Deidara's back.
-End Flashback-
"Hey, Ayame!" a hand was waving in front of her.
"Oh! Sorry Hidan, I guess I just dozed off there a bit."
"Ah, it's ok. Just was worried about you."
"Seems you're back to normal a bit, huh? You feel better now that someone came.. And with something to eat?"
"Yeah, I feel better now and that chocolate did me in. But it was because you came, Ayame. If anyone else came, it wouldn't matter. And... I'm not back to normal, I'm gonna start something new. Try to redo my actions."
Ayame looked at him a bit "That sound like a great idea, Hidan!" Hidan just smiled.
"Yeah, it's because you came and what you said that cheered me up, thanks."
"No prob! Now you definitely aren't yourself with something though."
"What?"
"You're not cursing, are you still sulking?! I think you need more chocolate!" she was getting more chocolate from the bag.
"Eh? Oh, sorry. It's just, when I'm serious like this... I don't usually curse."
"Oh well ok." she sad back down.
"Nice dress by the way, it looks good on you."
"Thanks."
"You like red, don't you? Why is that?"
"Yes, I do like red cause it reminds me of fire. Fire colors are red, orange, yellow and blue. Blue is the hottest. Well sometimes there's white if it's really hot too."
"What are you a pyro or something? You seem to know a lot about fire!"
"Actually yes, I am.. Oh that reminds me! I haven't been able to burn anything since I joined the Akatsuki. I've been busy ever since." she was getting sticks and other things into a pile.
"Wait, no! Don't do that!" Hidan was restraining her from making a fire.
"But! My pyro instincts... must... set.... fire!"
"You need to control your fucken self already!"
"But!" alright, he's back to his cursing normal self
"Alright, that's it!" he picked Ayame up and hung her over one of his shoulders still holding onto her, got the bag of chocolates and ran back to the base.
They finally got back tot he base and Deidara was the one to greet them "Why are you holding her like that, un?" he had an annoyed face on.
"She was about to set a fire... so I stopped her before she could, don't want any trouble now do we?"
"Ah! Ayame, how many times do I have to tell you? Stop setting fires, un!"
Hidan placed Ayame up right for her to stand. "Oh Deidara, I'm a pyro. Pyros need to burn shit... or.... should I say... they have a desire to burn shit... and then when we do set fires, we feel relieved!" a glint could be seen in her eyes.
"Well, at least you're ok... I'm fine with it, un"
"Ok then!" she turned around starting to walk out the door again, but met Deidara in front of her preventing exit.
"I didn't say you could start fires, un. Only use it for training in the woods around the base or actual combat. It's getting late anyway, so go get ready for bed, un."
"Hmph... you're mean Deidara." she turned back around heading towards her room but stopped at the living room door and turned around facing everyone. "Goodnight, everyone!" she then ran to her room and closed the door behind her. She took a shower and got her pj's on, but it was new. She looked at it again in the mirror. It was a silky night gown that went down to the mid thighs and had noodle straps. It felt loose on her, so she felt free to move around. "Well, at least it's comfortable." It also showed all her curves perfectly and that they were in the right place. She couldn't really tell the color cause of the lighting in the room. "I don't remember getting this... all well" She climbed into bed and went to sleep
Itachi closed Ayame's door, which he was trying to see her reaction to the night gown, and went to his own room. "Hmm.. I think she likes my gift I got for her. It looks good on her, just as I thought. This suits her better then what Hidan got her." Itachi got into his bed as well and went to sleep. Everyone was fast asleep in their own rooms, thinking what tomorrow will bring.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Yays! Finally done the chapter *slumps down in chair to rest* I hope I made it long enough for you all! =D Oh and if you are wondering about Ayame's personality... I'm just gonna simplify it a little:
-stubborn (what she's noted for, also her hyperness)
- hyper whenever she has chocolate, candy, or lots of caffeine
- basically the personality of a Taurus~ owo
