Emily and I are very lazy when it comes to morning. Unless we have important commitments, the earliest time we get out of bed is 9:30am. Now, I'm not sure what time the Akatsuki wake up in the morning, but it's certainly earlier than us.
How did I know this? Well, at about 7:30am, Tobi decided it would be a good idea to wake the two of us up. He didn't do it the quiet way, you know, gentle shake of the shoulder. No, he decided to yell at the top of his lunges and start opening and slamming shut doors.
"Wake up you two, cook me breakfast, I'm really hungry. Come on, get up, its time to start the day, not be lazy!" he yelled, coming down the hall towards my door.
He got to my room and opened the door, "Come on, Crissy, get up-" and got a face full of pillow.
"Shut up, you moron! Why the hell are you waking us up at this time of day, go and do something else that doesn't involve waking us up." I yelled, thoroughly pissed off at him.
Now, as you might have guessed, I am not a morning person, and neither is Emily. We both get really annoyed if anyone wakes us up. The only thing that is willing to take our anger in the morning seems to be the alarm clock.
"Aww, sorry Crissy, I didn't realise you wanted to sleep so much. You see, back home, everyone gets up really early." He tried to explain.
I scowled at him, "I don't care, just remember to never wake me up again. Now, go away, I'll come down later and cook you breakfast." I said, figuring now that I was awake; I might as well get up and do something.
As Tobi left the room I stretched and yawned, I knew that this was going to be a long a day. You know when you just have that feeling? Well, that's what my brain was telling me, today was going to drag on forever, especially with Tobi hanging around.
That got me thinking; how many of the Akatsuki were still alive? And how many knew of Tobi's real identity? I knew that in the manga, when Tobi first joined up, Pein, Konan, Itachi and maybe Zetsu knew who he was. I also wondered what the others would do when they found out that I knew all about them. I really hoped that they wouldn't decide to kill me, I don't want to die.
With all this running around my head, I got up and went into the bathroom. There is nothing better than a hot shower when you need to calm down and think straight. The feeling of water running down your body is one of the most relaxing this for me, and right now I defiantly needed to calm down. The shower did make me think a bit clearer, but it didn't completely get rid of my bad mood.
After my shower I git dressed in a tank top and shorts and headed down stairs into the kitchen. When I got there, Tobi was already sitting at the counter.
"Yay, breakfast time, breakfast time!" he cheered. Wow, he must really be hungry.
I sighed, "Fine, what do you want to eat?"
"Um, could I please have eggs and bacon?" he asked in such a sweet voice that it made me wonder whether there really was a darker side to him.
I got to work cooking for both of us; I knew Emily wouldn't be down for another few hours, so I didn't bother making her anything.
When I finished, I took my plate into the lounge room to watch TV, while leaving Tobi in the kitchen to eat his. I turned on the TV to the morning show, watching a news report about animal welfare or something. When I finished, I took my plate back into the kitchen, washed Tobi's and my dishes and then went back to the lounge room. Tobi came with me, we were just sitting down when a breaking news report came onto the screen.
"Soooo, what are we going to do toda-"
But he didn't end his sentence. Instead both of us sat there speechless, looking at the TV. Right there in front of us, on the TV screen, was Deidara, walking away from what looked like a recently blown up building.
'This footage was taken at approximately 7am. The man as seen is wanted by Cairns police for the destruction of a highly important science research lab, and the deaths of the 11 scientists inside the building at the time. The man is described as having long blond hair and wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it. If anyone is to see this man, they are advised by police to stay well away and call the police as soon as they can. He is highly dangerous and proclaimed as unpredictable. How he managed to destroy the highly developed building is still a mystery, but whatever method he used, it is defiantly a dangerous material. Police are beginning the search as we speak, and help from the public will be much appreciated.'
"Oh, my, god." Tobi and I both said together.
I couldn't believe it, Deidara hadn't even been in this world for 24 hours and he was already wanted by the police. I really didn't want to imagine what sort of things the others would get up to if Deidara had already gone this far.
Tobi started laughing, "Wow, Deidara is already in trouble in this world, I can't imagine what Hidan and Kakuzu are up to at the moment."
"I don't even want to think about it." I said.
"Haha, yeah your right." He agreed with me.
We sat there and watched the rest of the news, just incase any of the others happened to be mentioned.
"Are they your horses out in the paddock?" Tobi asked when the news had finished.
"One of them is, do you want to go and meet them?" I asked, getting up from the couch.
"Ok," he said, following me out the door and across to the paddock.
As we reached the paddock the two horses came trotting over.
"Which one is your horse?" Tobi asked, reaching out a hand to pat Emily's horse.
"This one," I said, rubbing Victor's shiny grey coat. "That one is Emily's horse, her name is Sammy and this one's name is Victor. Emily and I like to go riding around the property and the town." I explained to him, as he rubbed Sammy's bay nose.
"Cool, how high are they?" he asked.
"Um, Victor is 17.3hh and Sammy is 16.5hh." I answered.
"They are both very beautiful." He said.
"Thanks," I said as we went back inside.
As we got back inside I went to the fridge. If we were going to have the Akatsuki living in our house, then we were going to need a lot of food, among other things. The fridge didn't seem to be fairing too well, so I decided I had better go into town and get some supplies.
"I'm going into town to get some stuff," I told Tobi, grabbing my keys and wallet off the kitchen counter.
"Ok, can I come too? We might see some of the others." He said.
"Of course," I replied heading to door and putting my shoes on. I headed out to the car and unlocked the doors.
When Tobi saw the car, he stopped dead in his tracks. "That thing is suppose to get us into town?" he asked. "Why can't we just walk?"
"Because, it takes half an hour to get there and I really can't be bothered carrying heavy bags all the way back." I replied in response to his question.
Tobi didn't say anything, but tried to copy my movements as I got into the car. When he was safely seat belted in, I fired the car up.
"Whoa, what happening!" Tobi asked in alarm, grabbing onto the seat.
"Don't worry, it's just the motor starting." I explained.
I pulled out and started to drive down our long drive way. All the while Tobi was hanging onto his seat for dear life. I got to the end of the drive way and waited for a car to pass.
"Aaaarrrgggghh! Its going to hit us!" Tobi screamed in my ear, as the car came towards us.
"No its not, don't worry about it." I said, trying to reassure him, even though I was laughing on the inside.
He let out a big sigh as it went past, but instantly tensed up again as we pulled out and headed toward the town centre. It was just as we were about to turn a corner when it happened. We were driving along a road parallel to the beach, about the pull into the road that went along side the shopping centre to find a park, when suddenly Tobi was screaming in my ear about something and at the same time grabbed onto my arm so I lost the steering. His scream of excitement soon turned into a scream of panic of I managed to get the steering back with one hand just in time to swerve away from the car we were just about to hit. I saw a park and went straight into it, having to slam on the brakes just in time as to not hit the car in front of us.
We were thrown forwards and then slammed backwards as the car came to a shuddering stop. I turned to Tobi, death written across my face, and gave him one of the biggest death stares I could muster. He seemed to shrink away from it, which momentarily surprised me, as it was him who had the sharingan.
"Don't you ever do that again." I said in a deathly quiet voice.
"I-I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again." He said, almost whispering, wow, I must be really scary when I'm angry. "But I saw someone, so I thought I should tell you."
"You didn't have to scream it at me though," I said, "Anyway, who did you see?"
The sudden change of topic and tone seemed to surprise him, "Oh, um, I think I saw Konan!" he said, with the childish voice creeping back in.
This surprised me; I didn't think we would find anyone so soon. Infact the whole situation hadn't really sunk in yet. Having Tobi sitting next to me still felt really wired.
"Really? Where did you see her?" I asked, turning around to try and find her.
"How do I get out, I'll show you where she is." He said, struggling with his seat belt.
I lent across and undid it for him, then showing him how to open the door. I got out my self and walked around to his side of the car.
"Come on," he said, grabbing my hand and running down the side walk. He lead me across the road and onto the beach.
There standing in the sand in front of us, with her back turned towards us, was Konan of the Akatsuki. As always, she was wearing the Akatsuki cloak, with her blue hair hidden behind the collar.
"Konan, hey Konan!" Tobi yelled, running towards her. As she turned around an expression of surprise came over her features.
"Tobi, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Oh Konan, just wait until I tell you everything that has happened so far." Tobi started. He then went on to explain how we had found him at the edge of the forest, how we agreed to help him find everyone and give him a place to stay, and finally about seeing Deidara on the news and what he had done.
"Wow, I can't believe Deidara had already gotten himself into trouble." She said, scowling slightly, which made Tobi laugh.
'Oh, by the way, this is Crissy." Tobi said, pushing me forwards so I was standing infront of Konan.
"Um, hi," I said.
She smiled at me, "hi Crissy, thanks for keeping Tobi out trouble and helping us find all the others." She said, giving a pointed look at Tobi when she mentioned him.
I laughed, "That's alright. We were just about to go get some supplies, do you want to come? We'll head back home afterwards," I explained to her.
"Sure" she said smiling.
"Right, let's go!" Tobi exclaimed, almost running back up the beach.
Konan and I followed, smiling at his childishness. Everyone seemed to be staring at us, which wasn't surprising seeing as there was a man who was acting like a child as well as wearing a weird mask, and two of us wearing black cloaks that made us look like some cult thing. Yep, I would be staring too if I was a bystander. I just hoped that there wasn't any Naruto fans out there in the crowd that would ran up to us and start asking all sorts of questions, questions whose answers I'd rather these two not know about.
Now, that really would be bad luck! I suppose it's just lucky that those sorts of things didn't happen to me; well that's what I thought anyway.
so there you are, i hope you enjoyed it!
please, please review, i really do appreciate it.
other than that, have a good night, or day.
