Anyway, yes back again. Now have a heart attack at my feet. Lol. No, please don't. I would have no one to post back to. It would make me cry.
Anyway,
Bag o' Moon Frogs: Don't worry, I will not answer your questions because I'm one of the people who will NEVER spoil a good story! And you know what's kick ass...I'm a masochist too! high fives
Back to story now.
Kosuke's POV
As Lee was waiting for his white rice and ramen (what the hell?), I was trying to think up a way to get Gaara to fess up. But how the hell can I do that? It's not like I know very much about pregnant people. I mean, last I knew, only women can become pregnant. But now, apparently, it's perfectly common for guys to be pregnant. I don't even want to think about how the actual birth is going to work. So, that shows you how much I know about that subject.
However, there was one thing I do know about pregnancy. No alcohol whatsoever. And seeing as Gaara is the Kazekage, I figure he will most likely want to protect his kid, so he would not drink. Perfect, I thought as a plan crossed my mind.
I waited for Amaya to come back to the living room with Lee's food, then I left the others sitting around the room. As I left, Amaya looked at me questionably, so I shook my head very slightly to her. She shrugged, figuring that I'd explain myself at some point.
I walked into Kakashi's kitchen, searching. I knew that he had to have some somewhere in this house. I rummaged through all of the cupboards, then the refrigerator. When I didn't find what I was looking for, I paused to think once again. Where would Kakashi keep it? I can see why he would hide it, what with Amaya living with him and all. But where would he hide it?
I snapped my fingers when I remembered something Amaya had told me once. She had told me that Kakashi has a mini-fridge in his room. She says it's where he keeps little snacks for the nights, so that he wouldn't have to walk all the way downstairs (of course, she had ended this little story with "What a fuckin' lazy ass," which I had to agree with). She told me that she had searched through it once or twice while Kakashi was gone, but that she hadn't found anything interesting. Of course, she had never specified what was in there, but it was very possible that what I was looking for was locked away in the mini-fridge.
I swiftly ran up the stairs, making no noise so that none of the people in the living room would hear me. I walked up to the door that I knew was his, and opened it quietly. I looked all around the room, noting where everything was incase I had to move anything. I didn't want Kakashi to know that anyone had been in there, but I could see the things that Amaya had all ready moved around.
I shook my head, smiling at her idiocy and love of making Kakashi mad. Any way, I walked over to the white mini-fridge that was sitting close to Kakashi's bed. I knelt down in front of it, and studied the lock. Yes, lock. Kakashi had put a LOCK on his precious mini-fridge. What a freakin' weirdo.
I smiled to myself once again. Kakashi seemed to know that Amaya had gone through his fridge before, so he had put the lock on. He must have also known that she wasn't particularly talented at picking locks. I mean, she's able to pick most simple locks, but not complicated ones like the one that was before me. I, on the other hand, am rather talented with picking locks. I didn't usually do it, except when needed on missions, but I decided that this was a mission, in a way.
I reached into my bag that I still had strapped on my back, and pulled out my lock picking tools. I took two of the small wires and stuck them up into the lock. I twisted those around until I could feel that they were in the correct positions, and then grabbed another wire. As soon as I slid it up there with the others, I knew the lock was about to give. I moved all three of them around another minute, and the lock snapped open.
I removed the lock, placing it to my side, and opened the fridge. There, on the top shelf, was exactly what I was looking for. I smiled once again, very proud of myself. If this plan doesn't get Gaara to fess up, then I wont know what will, I thought to myself, as I removed the glass from the shelf it was sitting on.
I was about to close the door and turn away, when I noticed that there was also a pie of some sort on the shelf. I thought for a moment, and then shrugged my shoulders. What the hell, I thought, as I also took the pie out of the fridge. I then closed the door and put the lock back on it. I had to laugh when I thought of the look that was going to be on Kakashi's face when he noticed that his precious sake and his pie were missing.
I walked back down the stairs, not bothering to close the door of the bedroom behind me. I grabbed a cup from the kitchen before returning to the living room and the others.
"Hey Amaya, where's your cards?" I asked her, as I entered the room.
She only had to look at my face and what I was carrying to figure out what my plan was. "I'll go get them!" she replied, jumping up from her seat on the floor, and racing up the stairs.
She was back in record time, carrying a deck of cards with her. The boys looked at the two us, confusion clearly written on their faces.
"Okay, so here's what we're going to do," I said, as I sat down and started to shuffle the cards she had handed me as she sat down. "This is a little game that Amaya and I like to play. It's really very simple. We play a game of cards, and the losers have to pay the winner what ever sum of money we decide on before we start, and also take a healthy swig of sake. We'll play in groups of two. Me and Amaya will be a team, you two lover boys over there can be a team," I nodded my head towards Naruto and Sasuke, who both started to blush slightly, "which leaves you two as a team," I nodded towards Gaara and Lee.
"Obviously you, Lee, wont be able to take a swig of sake, but you can take a swig of, um, coffee instead," Amaya said, as she got up to make a pot of the brown energy drink.
While we were waiting for her to return, I snuck a look over at Gaara. Was it my imagination, or was he looking a little worried? I couldn't really tell, since he always is able to hide his emotions so well. Any way, he wasn't refusing to play. Maybe he's good at gambling and card games, I thought to myself, so he's not worried about losing. Or, maybe he's really not pregnant. Well, whether he is or not, we'll make sure he loses. Amaya is especially able to gamble (yes, she did sometimes cheat, but she is also pretty lucky in these kinds of games), and I'm not all that bad either.
My thoughts were interrupted as Amaya came bounding back in the room, a pot of hot coffee in her hands. How she managed to not spill any of it, I don't know, but she didn't spill it. She put the pot in the middle of the circle we had made on the floor, next to the sake bottle, and a cup next to it.
Once every one was settled down comfortably, I dealt out the cards. No one was allowed to sit next to their partner, so that no one would be able to cheat off their partner. I was sitting between Naruto, who was on my right, and Lee who was on my left. On Lee's left sat Sasuke, and on his left was Amaya. Gaara sat between Amaya and Naruto.
After I finished dealing, I picked up my cards to see what I'd gotten. I raised my eyebrows slightly; a sign that Amaya knew meant I had a pretty good hand. I carefully looked over my cards, to see she too was raising her brows slightly. I could also see that Naruto must not have had a very good hand, by the way he was frowning. I couldn't tell from the others' faces whether they had good cards or not. I smiled inwardly; this was going to be a very interesting game.
Amaya's POV
Okay so I can admit myself I was pretty good at card games, I mean come on I grew up with Kakashi. Speaking of which I had no idea where the weirdo was. Well acctualy I do, he's probably with Guy, because hell, he doesn't care who hates his daughter just as long as he gets the queer in green spandex's ass. Anyway back to the game, I got a REALLY good hand, yet I didn't let it on to much. Poker face, man did I have a good one on. Instead I rose an eyebrow, which told Kosuke I had a good deck. Yet I probably should have rose TWO eyebrows because my deck was the shiznit! An ace of hearts, a king of hearts, and a queen of spades. All I needed was queen, a jack, or a ten of hearts and BAM! 31.
Kosuke had delt so it went to Lee, Lee picked up a card from the pile. Obviously it wasn't what he needed, he scowled and set it down in the discard pile. It had been a three of spades. Next was Sasuke, he picked up a card, a smile playing on his lips. He kept it and instead set down a eight of dimonds. MY TURN! I picked up a card, nine of hearts! I kept it, and then everyone raised an eyebrow to me when I set down the queen of spades. Yet everyone's eyebrows went up when I knocked. Hey, when you hit 30 you've got to knock. Kosuke looked at me like I was cheating, I nodded towards the mirror that was behind me (I knew where to sit when playing this game) and tilted my hand to she could see my cards in the mirror. Her eyebrows rose, but she kept a straight face.
Everyone went around again and it was just my luck that Sasuke put down a ten of hearts. I picked it up, jumped up, then screamed, "31!! HAHAHAHAHAHA I WIN!!"
"Okay, what does everyone else have?" Kosuke asked, she set down a king, jack, and eight of spades. Lee set down a ten, nine, and seven of dimonds. Sasuke set down a queen, jack and six of clubs. Gaara put down an eight, six, and seven of clubs. Naruto put down a six, seven, and eight of hearts. It was a tie between Naruto and Gaara who lost. I look puzzled, this had never happened before. Of course I had never played with this amount of people before, so it couldn't have happened.
"Okay," I begain, "who's gonna take the role of loser?"
Gaara shook his head, "I'm Kazekage, do you know how bad it could look if I drink?"
"Tsunade drinks!" I butted in.
"Yes well, I don't."
"Don't or won't?" I asked, it would have gone further had I not heard Kakashi walk in. I froze, then looked at Kosuke. "I'll be right back." I ran down stairs, hardly even touching the wood. I found Kakashi in the kitchen, he was staring at the leftover white rice and ramen I had left on the table. He looked back at me, eyebrow raised.
"What the hell kind of food are you eating?" he asked me, he he was in a pretty good mood.
"Oh it's not mine," The other eyebrow raised.
"Who's is it?"
"Oh, Lee wanted it."
"Lee's here?"
"Yeah, along with Kosuke, Gaara, Sasuke, and Naruto."
"You kid, are going to drive me insane."
"Kakashi, I'm sixteen. I'm not a kid!" I argued.
"You are until you leave my care!" he yelled back.
"Well that could be sooner then you think!" SLAP! He just back handed me! I glared, eyes bleeding in to silver. "You did hear what Tsunade said, it was like she WANTED me to leave! AND MAYBE I WILL!" I said before stalking back into my room. Everyone was looking at me, they must have heard, but I had my back to them as I slammed the door shut. With my back still to them I calmed myself, eyed going back to gold and I put on a smile.
"Amaya?" Kosuke called out. I turned around, smile on my face.
"Okay! Kakashi's home so we might want to get to sleep." I said with a smile. "Kosuke and I will change in the bathroom considering my room is bigger and there is more guys to change then girls." I grabbed some shorts and a tank top. Kosuke grabbed some of my PJs like she always did when she spent the night. We walked into the bathroom, which was pretty big; I threw off my heavy metal plates, leaving only the thin black material I wear under it. I began taking that off two, the only thing I left on was my arm sleeves and underwear and bra, which exposed the long scar that ran down my stomach. I slipped into my shorts, then my tank top. I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked kind of funny with the arm sleeves, but I wouldn't take them off. Not with everyone there, I took them off when I was alone, but not in front of everyone. No one needed to see the scars that ran up and down my arms, hell not even Kakashi knew. Kosuke was getting irritated and kept bugging me about it, but I refused to tell her.
I walked into the room, Kosuke (in my white PJs) walked along beside me. The boys were dressed, well sort of. Naruto and Lee were only wearing pants. Gaara and Sasuke were the only ones wearing pants AND a shirt. They raised an eyebrow at my arms sleeves that did not match my PJs, but all I did was chuck my metal breastplate at them, it hit Naruto in the head. "OWIE!" he yelled, then smirked, "Just for that you have to play truth or dare with us!" Kosuke and I swallowed. Weren't we supposed to go to bed? I thought, but I didn't say it out loud. I just sat in the group with them. Hey maybe Gaara would pick truth!
