Chapter Five: peek-a-boo
"A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said 'no'."
~'Woody Allen,'
"One more thing,"
"What's that?" Kisame asked as he rose and eyebrow and began to scratch the back of his head like a stereotypical person who thinks.
"Well if were going to stay here we better get a better hotel room." Itachi lifted his ring finger to a yellow spot on the ceiling.
"I never knew you really thought about cleanliness." Kisame chuckled as she took out a sac of coins, "But if you really want another place then we can probably look into it."
"A.s.a.p." Itachi mouthed the letters quickly as he rolled on his side.
Kisame chuckled again as he walked back into the washroom.
*~*~*
The week after.
6:00 p.m.
The reddish brown haired girl sat up mechanically as she hopped out of her bed. She hadn't gotten any sleep that night. Like every morning she marched over to her alarm clock and slapped down the sleep button and hopped back into bed but today wasn't like any of the other days. She didn't go back to sleep instead she had travelled down stairs to her kitchen and pulled out a sac of bagels and popped them in her toaster. She noticed her cat's kitty dishes were empty and filled them up with the last bit of cat food.
"God, I need money." She huffed as the bagels popped. As she dressed her food she noticed the date on the calendar.
It was Saturday.
She pinched the tops of the bagels and took them out of the toaster ad spread cream cheese on both of them. She looked in her fridge for tomatoes' but found it bare.
In the end she ate the bagels without tomatoes and got dressed. After covering her face in powder and lip-gloss she grabbed a red and black plaid scarf and walked out the door to find herself face to face with the boy at the cafe.
"Hi Kain, Kasumi told me to give this to you." Kyou handed her a bag of coins.
"What's this fo-."
"Your pay check."
"Oh, thanks' Kyou it was really nice to bring this to me. I swear I was just about to go out and grab a few things from the market."
"Well it's good I came just in time. See you on Monday." He waved to her and left.
Mariko stuffed the bag in her pocket and smiled as she began to walk the opposite way the bridge. The shop was good for picking up a few items when she had no time but with the amount of money she had now she was going to go the center town of Iwagakure. A lot of mini markets and restaurants laid there. It was a bit of a walk but it was worth it. Mariko soon found herself in a crowd of people. At the end of the day Mariko had bought a ton of groceries, clothes and furniture. She made a few trips to her house and back to the market but she knew she was getting her daily exercise. It around 5:00 p.m. when she finished her shopping. She still had quite a bit of money left that's when she saw him again.
He was standing in line to a dango stand with his blue partner. The brownish red head girl began to leap with joy inside her head.
'Why is he here, is it because he really likes it here or who cares he's here and and and.' Mariko clapped her hands together and decided to say hi, 'Wait what if he thinks I'm stalking him again. Oh Kain what is wrong with you girl, just say hi!'
In the end she said more then hi to him.
"So what brings you back to Iwagakure?" She asked as they sat on a bench and ate dango's together.
"Family business. When I came back home and told my parents was in Iwa they asked if I brought anything home for them, I felt bad for not getting anything, so I came back to pick something up." He lied as he took a bite of his dango. Kisame snickered. Mariko smiled.
"That's really sweet that you came back all the way back to get your parents something. They must really appreciate it." Kisame snickered again as Itachi nodded. An unreadable expression was plastered on his face. He reached over and shoved something in her pocket. Mariko ignored it and smiled.
"Well I better get going now. Nice seeing you again." Mariko stood up, turned around and walked away from the two. She pulled out a note that was in her pocket.
'Meet me at the Stonebridge tonight at 8.' ~Onda
The red head soon disappeared from the crowd and Kisame smiled.
"What was that you gave her?"
"She knows too much, even about the Akatsuki. She and I will meet somewhere private tonight." Itachi spoke coldly.
"That's mean." Kisame stood up, "But it has to be done. Can I come?"
"No."
Kisame shrugged.
