in for the kill
note1: I have no idea what to write this chapter. WTF.
note2:I have this sick urge to make the entire Akatsuki do the Caramelldansen at some point in time. Why? No fucking idea, but it might be hilarious.
arc one: dawning
chapter: panda
A week into her stay with the Akatsuki found Sakura bored out of her mind. Her impromptu breakfast date with Deidara had ended when he, Sasori, and the majority of the other members had left on missions. Being completely alone in a large building in which she wasn't allowed to leave was starting to get to her. (It wasn't like she was going to try and escape. Pssh, please. She knew better than that. And the traps that had been set up on all of the exits were nasty as fuck. Who the hell puts a guillotine over the front door!?) She had spent a majority of her time exploring the vast network of hallways and talking to her Inner (when she decided to respond. That bitch.)
Halfway down the corridor that led to the kitchen and the lounge Sakura stopped. Something was approaching from the other direction at a rapid rate. She tensed, unfamiliar with this new chakra signature. An ominous shadow appeared around the corner. And then she was faced with... a panda? A panda. A large, purple panda, being carried by a man with a strange orange mask. Raising an eyebrow, Sakura relaxed. The man stopped, finally realising he wasn't alone in the hallway.
"Ah! Hello Sakura-chan! Tobi was just going to build a pillow fort with Steven!"
Sakura's jaw dropped. What. The. Fuck. Who the hell was this guy?!
"Erm, that's nice," she finally managed to spit out, still utterly confused why a member of Akatsuki would ever do anything as mundane and childish as build a pillow fort. With a purple panda. Named Steven.
Tobi looked at her with a tilted head, seeming to think. Finally he gave himself a small nod and grabbed her hand.
"Come! Sakura-chan can help. Maybe we can even have a pillow fight!" He sighed, mumbling sadly, "Zetsu-sempai never wants to have a pillow fight."
Well that was... unexpected. But hell, she was bored out of her mind already. A pillow fight couldn't hurt. This guy seemed pretty nice, if not incredibly childish. She nodded her head in acceptance, and they were off. Sprinting to the lounge, Sakura couldn't help but giggle. This could be fun!
...
Hours later Deidara and Sasori returned home to find the lounge absolutely destroyed. Couches and chairs were overturned, pillows were spilling feathers everywhere and a large stuffed panda hung from the ceiling. In short, it looked like a warzone. (It was, really. The Battle of the Purple Panda would become legendary, at least to Sakura and Tobi.) And in the middle of it all were Sakura and Tobi, curled up together on a blanket stolen from somebody's room. They looked so peaceful that the duo decided to leave them, for now. Tobi was going to get it later though, thought Deidara. Nobody fucked with his pillows. (It had nothing to do with the fact that Sakura was clinging to his shirt, Tobi's arms wrapped around her. Nothing at all.)
note3: Blah that was icky. I love innocent Tobi though. Canon wise, he has to be Obito. The latest chapter just proved it, in my opinion.
