Aoi POV
I answered the phone and put it to my ear.
"Hello?" I questioned to the person on the other side of the line. I should have checked the caller id….
"Aoi, you idiot!" shouted the caller. I grimaced at the sound of the voice. It was the art dealer. Oh, that's the other thing I forgot to do….
"Aoi do you have the painting done?" she questioned. I stayed silent as an answer. "You don't do you?" she questioned.
"No but I can have it in by tomorrow." I replied.
"Oh really?" she questioned in a threatening tone.
"Yes really." I replied matching her tone.
"Okay then, I want the painting done and in my office by tomorrow." She explained. I sighed and closed the phone. All eyes were on me with answers in them. I stared back with a blank expression.
"Well who the fuck was it bitch?" questioned Hidan in a loud tone. He threw his arms up in the air showing he was confused and demanding answers.
"The art dealer." I replied.
"You're going to buy art?" questioned Kakuzu. I shook my head.
"You're an artist, un!" exclaimed Deidara. I nodded.
"You guys need to take a tour of the mansion." I stated in a low tone, "Hana give them a tour. I need to go work."
"What type of work do you do?" questioned Sasori in monotone. I looked at him with a blank expression.
"I work as an artist and an author." I replied. Sasori nodded and kept staring.
"Since you're an artist you must have an art room." Sasori stated. I nodded my response. "Then take Deidara and me to it." Sasori demanded. I sighed and nodded again.
"Okay follow me." I commanded. The followed me as I went up the first flight of stairs. Next, I walked all the way down the hallway by the big window and took a left. After that, I went yet again up another flight of stairs. This landed us in the third floor. We enter a room that was two doors down from the stairs. I opened the door and let both of them in. I followed in after them and they both stood motionless taking in the sight. Their mouths hung open as they stared at the large art room. There was canvas after canvas lined up against a wall. There was a see through armoire with stacks of paints. The paints were acrylics, oil and watercolors. Next to it was another armoire filled with paintbrushes, sponges, trays, etc. On the wall near the armoires were multiple easels of many sizes. Big windows were on the far wall letting in light.
"This is so cool, un!" exclaimed Deidara in awe. Sasori nodded next to him.
"In the room next door you'll find another art room. This one is specifically for painting only." I explained, "The other one is for drawing and other types of art. If you guys want you can both paint a picture but I'll be keeping it. "
"Can we really, un?" exclaimed Deidara in an excited tone.
"She said we could brat!" Sasori exclaimed coolly. I giggled and handed them each a smock, easel, canvas and directed them to the paint. I grabbed a large canvas that was slightly taller than me and all its side were equal. Somehow I managed to place it on a low easel. Sasori grabbed an 11 by 13-size canvas and placed it on high easel. Deidara grabbed a canvas that was exactly the same as Sasori's and placed it on a high easel. Sasori grabbed oil paints and Deidara grabbed acrylics. I grabbed acrylics and a pencil. Now time to focus!
I grabbed my pencil and quickly sketched the face of a woman. Next, I grabbed black paint and went to work. I felt eyes on me but after a while the feeling passed.
Itachi POV
I hate being with these psychopaths. It was bad enough that I was in the akatsuki with Deidara, Tobi, Zetsu and the others but now- this is just too much these people are completely weirdoes! I stopped at a wall and hit my head against it trying to relieve my tension.
"Itachi what are you doing?" Kisame questioned as he patted my back. I turned to glare at him and he took a step back while raising his hands up in defense. "Wah! Itachi what's wrong? Why are you angry?" Kisame asked in a concerned voice. I shook my head and glared at him. "She's not here so you don't have any reason to be angry." Kisame informed. That does it! I activated my Mangekyō Sharingan and called forth black flames. Kisame screamed at the top of his lungs and ran. The others quickly came out of a room they call the Library and saw Kisame running.
"No Itachi bad!" Hana hissed. I aimed my flames at her and she took off running into Tobi's arm.
"Tobi is a good boy! Itachi is a bad boy!" Tobi squealed as he and Hana hugged.
"Itachi why are you using flames against us?" Pein asked in a calm tone. I whirled around to face him with anger boiling inside me. I aimed the Amaterasu flames at my group of comrades and got a pleasing reaction. They all ran down the hallway followed by flames. Even though they are S-ranked criminals and one strange short girl they all ran and screamed in terror. This is what they deserve!
"BURN BABY, BURN!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I laughed maniacally.
Aoi Pov
"BURN BABY, BURN!" I heard Itachi shout loudly followed by a craze-filled laugh. I dropped my paintbrush and turned towards the door with a 'WTF' face. I heard Sasori and Deidara come near me.
"What was that, un?" questioned Deidara.
"I think that was Itachi." I replied, "come on let's go check it out!" I grabbed both Deidara's and Sasori's hand and dragged them down the stairs. The floor below us was where the rooms were. I let go of their hands and signaled for them to follow me. We neared the corner where the laugh was coming for and I stopped. I turned to Deidara and Sasori and motioned for them to wait. I reached into a closet and pulled out a broom. I grasped the broom with both of my hands and peeked through the corner. There I saw Itachi laughing to himself; his face was full of crazed-filled joy. Quickly I dashed forward and lifted the broom above my head. I jumped a bit as I brought the broom down on Itachi's head. Itachi fell forward and hit the floor; the held his head in pain as if he just had a horrible hangover. These are supposed to be S-rank criminals….
"Why did you do that?" Itachi growled as he turned around to face me. I glared at him and he glared back.
"You were going crazy, no offense mister Weasel-san." I mused. Itachi's face went from angry to red and angry. The Uchiha got up and launched himself to me. I dodged and jumped to where Deidara and Sasori were watching. Deidara jumped as Itachi launched himself for the three of us. Sasori grabbed Itachi using chakra strings and directed him away from us. Deidara and I watched as Sasori did this but ran as soon as we realized something. Itachi has his Mangekyō Sharingan activated. We ran upstairs to the art room and locked the door. Like that's gonna help!
"Do you think Danna will be alright?" Deidara questioned as he went back to work on his paintings. I nodded and turned to work on my painting too after I dropped the broom.
"Sasori can take care of himself," I stated as I put some red paint on the canvas," I mean he's a ninja right?" Deidara grunted in agreement.
Sasori Pov
"Now calm down Itachi," I stated in a calm monotone voice, "There is no reason to be angry. Why are you angry anyway?" Itachi's face calmed and he deactivated his Sharingan. I let go of him and stared at him waiting for an answer. Itachi stayed silent and stared at me. "Answer the question," I growled, "I don't like to be kept waiting!" Itachi sighed.
"That girl." He replied. What the hell does he mean?
"But she was upstairs with us the whole time." I explained.
"I'm angry at her now. She made fun of me, again." The Uchiha responded. He made fist and his face turned into a scowl as if he was remembering something he hated. Most likely her…
"Are you angry because she called you 'mister Weasel-san'?" I smirked. Itachi shot me a glare and I laughed. Then Itachi launched himself for me. I dodged and backed up into somebody. I turned to see Pein staring at Itachi with anger. Then Hana popped out from behind him. She went to Itachi and reached up to his head. She grabbed Itachi's ear and pulled on it.
"You're getting a timeout!" She exclaimed causing us to laugh. Itachi pulled away from Hana and glared at us.
Pein cleared his throat, "Itachi you are in timeout as Hana says. That's your punishment for almost burning us." Itachi sighed and followed Hana who lead him to the corner of the hallway. I stared dumbfounded as Itachi did as Hana instructed. He faced the wall and stayed there like a pole. I turned and walked away to the staircase. I entered the painting room and Aoi and Deidara turned to face me.
"See I told you he would be fine." Aoi mumbled to Deidara and then she went to work on her painting.
"Danna, what happened to Itachi, un?" Deidara questioned.
"He's in timeout." I answered as I headed to work on my painting. I heard Aoi chuckle amused but said nothing.
Aoi POV
TWELVE HOURS LATER
I was almost done with my painting. I just needed to wait for it to dry so I could add some details to the eye and then brand it with my name. My stomach rumbled loudly in the empty room. Deidara had disappeared about two hours ago mumbling something about being tired. Sasori left about an hour ago saying he had a book to read and a house to explore. I sighed and rubbed my head. I have a major headache. It's probably just my body telling me I'm is like 8pm now. I got up and headed down to the kitchen. I stood dead on my tracks as soon as went down the first flight of stairs. I saw Itachi standing in a corner of the hall. He just stood there motionless as if standing in the corner of a wall was normal. Is this what Sasori meant by timeout? Wait a minute it's been over twelve hours, what's he doing there? I quickly walked over to Itachi and poked his back.
"Itachi what are you doing?" I asked as I took a step back in case he turned around.
"Taking punishment." He responded not even turning around. I shrugged my shoulders and walked away. I ran to the kitchen and made two ham and cheese sandwiches. Next, I poured some cranberry juice and rushed up the stairs. I neared the corner where Itachi still stood and set down his cup and sandwich.
"There's some cranberry juice and a sandwich. You must be hungry so I made you one." I told him as I took a bite of my sandwich. I took a leaned by a wall as Itachi turned around. He picked up his sandwich and took a bite. The cup of juice was in his other hand. He took a sip and his face softened but then he frowned.
"Why are you being nice to me after I slapped you?" Itachi questioned in monotone with a hint of confusion. I coughed and choked on my food. After a minute or two of coughing and regaining my breath I stared at the Uchiha confuse. He looked at me waiting for an answer.
"When did this happen?" I questioned confused. Itachi got up and tapped my forehead. This caused me to feel a pain in my head. My juice and uneaten sandwich fell out of my hand. I fell forward and into Itachi's arms. Suddenly memories started to pop into my head like a movie. The first memory was of the time I almost killed that burglar. The next memory was about Itachi and I, and that whole day. I experienced the pain in my cheeks. My eyes widened as I realized this and I pushed myself away from Itachi. I glared at him and turned away. I ran up the stairs and into the painting room. I shut the door behind me and held my head.
"How could I not remember this? What's wrong with me? Why couldn't I remember?" I questioned to myself aloud. I sighed, shook my head clear of thoughts and went to work on my painting. The paint is almost dried… I sighed again and took a seat on the floor waiting for the paint to dry.
Itachi POV
I stared at where Aoi once was. Next, I leaned down and picked up her sandwich and cup. I walked down to the kitchen, threw away the sandwich, and put the cup in the sink. I finished my own sandwich and put my cup in the sink. Then I grabbed a mop and headed back upstairs. I worked on cleaning the spill and sighed. I can't believe I just made her remember. Now I know how to do it. I heard footsteps and looked down the hall to see Kisame and Hidan coming.
"Yo fucker, what ya doing?" Questioned Hidan loudly. Kisame sighed and took the mop form me. He cleaned the spill and shook his head as he left with the mop in hand.
"Hey where the fuck is fucking Aoi?" Hidan questioned poking my chest. I pointed up. "In fucking heaven?" Hidan exclaimed. I shook my head at his stupidity.
"She's in the painting room upstairs." I explained in an irritated tone.
"Okay thanks, fucker!" Hidan left up the stairs with a big grin on his face.
Hidan POV
"Fucking shorty!" I shouted as I entered the painting room. Aoi turned to face me from her spot on the floor. I walked over to her and grinned. She raised her eyebrow in confusion as I sat down next to her.
"Hidan what do you need?" she questioned in a bored tone. I laughed and stared around the room. My eyes stopped on the painting in front of me. A girl arched her back in despair to escape the darkness as her skin burned. Her eyes were a brilliant, bright, bloody red. My mouth flapped open as I gazed at this picture.
"You fucking made this?" I shouted as I grabbed her shoulders and shook them. She nodded with a bored expression and I let go of her.
"Hidan can I ask you something?" she questioned in a nervous tone. I stared at her confused for and few seconds then smiled.
"You fucking could." I stated proudly. She opened her mouth but closed it again. She looked down at the floor.
"H-Hidan did you and the others lie to me?" she questioned. I stared at her dumbfounded.
"What the fuck do you mean?" I retorted after moments of trying to process this in my brain. She looked at the floor and then me.
"Y-you lied to me about Itachi…," she whispered in a low tone. I stared at her shocked. How did she know? How did she find out? I got up to my feet and she stared at me waiting for an answer. I turned to the door and walked towards it.
"It was for your own good." I replied as I left the room leaving behind the girl.
Itachi POV
I walked down the hall and into my room. The room was rather large. It held a bed, desk, lamp, bathroom and closet. As I lay in my bed, I began to think. Suddenly I heard a burst at the door and looked to see Hidan coming in. He walked over to me fuming mad.
"Did you fucking tell her?" Hidan questioned as he stood in front of me. I nodded my head in response.
"It slipped out." I informed the angry Jashinist. Hidan seemed to get angrier at this. He punched my chest and stormed out of my room. The whole time he was cursing rather loudly. I sighed and knew one thing. I'm in for a hell of a day tomorrow but- I could just apologize more sincerely this time. The thought rang through my head over a thousand times. Until I decided for it. I got up and noticed the time was 1 am. I doubt she'll be awake. I walked over to the art room and saw that the lights were on. I peeked inside and saw Aoi working very closely on a painting. I entered the room silently and watched her work. After about two hours she was done. She took a step back to admire her work after printing her name on it. I gazed at the painting that signified a battle even in the depths of hell.
"What do you need Itachi?" she questioned in a bored tone as she turned around. How did she know I was here?
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry." I apologized, "I mean it this time. I understand my mistake and I'm sorry I did that to you. I don't know what came across me." Aoi faced me with a bored expression.
"Why did you do it?" she asked after a few moments of silence, "I know I can be annoying sometimes but still. I'm not annoying like Tobi. Heh, nobody can be that annoying. Maybe all you have is a bad temper. You know I don't blame you, people hate me either way." She shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "I'm happy you at least apologized sincerely but don't fret over it. That was nothing so you don't have to worry." I stared at her shocked. How can she be so calm? How can she not be angry?
"Aoi I said I'm sorry but that never solves things so easily." I commented, "I don't understand why you aren't angry at me."
"I already told you that you're forgiven." She repeated with a sigh.
"What can I do for you to forgive me completely?" I asked as I shook her shoulders.
"Get me a knife." She stated. I nodded confused and took out a kunai. I handed it to her and waited. Most likely, she's going to stab me. I deserve this any- I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sight of Aoi digging the kunai into her left hand. She slowly carved what seemed like words on her palm. I watched shocked and frozen in place as she continued to draw on her flesh. After she was done, she licked her hand and put it up in front of my face. I narrowed my eyes trying to read the words. My eyes widened as I saw what it read. The words read, "You're forgiven". I grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly.
"You idiot! Why did you do that?" I yelled as I squeezed her hand hopefully causing pain. She didn't budge; she just stared at me with a bored expression. I sighed and took the kunai away from her. I put it back in my pocket and faced the girl in front of me. She grinned and took back her hand. I snatched her hand back and began to heal it. She watched in awe as her wound closed. I let go of her hand after examining it. She examined her hand and flexed it.
"Why did you do that?" I growled. She giggled and reached up to my head. Then she patted my head and giggled again.
"It proves my point." She replied in a soft tone. I sighed and shook my head.
"You are one strange kid." I muttered low enough for her to hear.
"I know!" she replied amused. I laughed with her and turned leave.
"Where you going Mister Weasel?" she questioned calling out to me. I turned to her and glared.
"What did you just call me?" I barked. She chuckled and grinned. I sighed and left the room.
Aoi POV
It's always fun to bother Itachi! Hah ha! I rubbed the back of my head and yawned. I should go to sleep. I looked out the window to see a beautiful full me. The moon looked large and there were no clouds in the sky.
"I wanna go outside." I whined to myself. I got up and walked out of the art room. I went to the end of the hallway and took a left. After a few minutes of walking, I came to a ladder in the corner. I climbed the ladder and pushed on the door at the top. The door flung open revealing the sky. I pulled my body out to the roof and stood up. I strode over to the edge of the building and took a seat. I looked up at the sky and glared at the moon. I lay on my back glaring at the moon. I heard the sound of footsteps, flipped over, and then stood up. I stood still as I saw someone across from me.
"Who's there?" I asked loudly. I heard the sound of slithering. Then Orochimaru's form came from the shadows. I froze at the sight of the snake man.
"Hello there little girl." Orochimaru greeted. I waved and stared at him.
"How did you get here?" I questioned.
"I'm the reasssssson the Akatsssssssuki is even here." Orochimaru replied in a mused tone.
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
"My jutssssssssssu issssssssssss the reasssssssssson the Akatssssssuki is even here." He responded, "I brought them to this world." I nodded in understanding. Suddenly, Orochimaru disappeared. I shrugged my shoulders and shuddered.
"EW pedophile." I muttered as I lay back down to glare at the moon. This just keeps getting stranger and stranger….
ABOUT FIVE HOURS LATER
7 PM
I growled at the sun as it burned at my cool skin.
"Stupid sun!" I growled as I got up and headed down the ladder. I can't tell anyone about that. I went down the hall and into the painting room. Itachi, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, Yukiko and Akiko stood there motionless staring at my painting. I entered silently and poked Yukiko in her back. Yukiko jumped at this and turned around.
"Aoi, why did you do that?" she screeched in chibi rage.
"Because I can!" I replied as I waved my hands in front of me. Yukiko and I burst out laughing.
"What the fuck is wrong with you two?" shouted Hidan as he pointed at us.
"They're abnormal, un." Deidara responded. Sasori nodded and they all laughed.
"Aoi this is your latest work?" questioned Akiko. I nodded and looked at the dry painting.
"Could you take it to the dealer for me?" I questioned in a tire yawn. Akio nodded and I yawned again.
"Aoi, you weren't in your room last night." Yukiko commented.
"I stayed up the whole night." I cheered, "The moon is mean. It doesn't talk back when you talk to it." Akiko and Yukiko faced palmed.
"How many times do I have to tell you?" Akiko exclaimed shaking my shoulders, "Inanimate objects don't talk back to people!" I nodded and yawned again.
"Well we have to go to work," Yukiko commented as she and Akiko grabbed my painting.
"Breakfast is in the kitchen." Akiko added as they left the room. I nodded and trotted after them. The others followed me as we walked down the stairs. They loaded the paining into Akiko's SUV and left. Yukiko left in her own car and waved. I waved back and then headed to the kitchen. In the kitchen the smell of eggs, fried white cheese and plantain hit my nose. I got a plate ready to serve myself and then I heard a scream. I quickly grabbed a frying pan and rushed outside where the scream had come from. The scream sounded again coming from the woods. I ran to the woods and saw Tobi screaming.
"What the hell are you screaming for?" I asked in and irritated tone. Tobi stared at me and then gave me a hug. He pointed to a section of the woods and I followed his gaze. My heart dropped as I heard a growl. There was a bear standing by a tree growling at us, His/her teeth were barred and he/she looked ready to attack. Tobi grabbed my and ran. I was pulled and ran with him. He led us farther away from the house and to the river. The bear followed behind us closely. As we neared the edge of the river, Tobi let go of my hand and pushed me in. I fell forward into the river and grabbed onto he side before I sunk down. I put the frying pan on the ground and pulled myself up.
I stood up and grabbed the frying pan. I got near the bear and hit it across the face causing it to faint. The bear fell to the ground and stayed there. I looked at Tobi who was cheering. I hit him with the frying pan and grabbed him by the back of his Akatsuki collar. I dragged him back to the house and kicked the door open. As I entered the house, I felt the stare of everyone who was currently in the kitchen.
"Tobi where were you, you little shit? Tobi is unconscious." Zetsu stated as I entered and dropped Tobi on the floor. Everyone sweat dropped as I dropped the drying pan and stormed off to my room.
Deidara POV
"At this rate Tobi and the rest of us are going to get killed, un." I stated through the silence, Everyone grunted his or her agreement and Pein sighed.
"Itachi, I heard from Hidan that you told her." Pein announced. Itachi nodded and looked away.
"She took it rather well," Itachi muttered, "though she did cut at her hand."
"WHAT?" Everyone shouted simultaneously except for Itachi and Kakuzu who didn't give a damn. Itachi nodded and we all faced palm.
