Thanks for the reviews guys! Onward to the next chapter!

Chapter 5

Avery rolled around in her bed for ten minutes or so before actually opening her eyes. She yawned and looked around the room. Her brown eyes opened wide in surprise as she realized this wasn't her room, or her house. Her heart beat sped up slightly then the memories of yesterday flooded her mind. "Oh…right." With her heart calming down she got out of bed and walked past the mirror to the bathroom. As she saw her new hair style in the mirror she gasped. "Oh yeah, I cut my hair…" She mumbled, seeing the traces of hair on the floor. She took a quick shower then put on her only clothes. "Maybe Konan will have new clothes for me…"

Avery walked over to her door and opened it slowly, making no loud noises. She poked her head outside the door and sighed in relief. The hallway was empty. "Good…" She whispered to herself. Avery had been praying that she could at least check out the kitchen before she had to cook in it. The brown haired servant had given up running a while ago. She knew full well what the Akatsuki were capably of and didn't want to see it first-hand.

She made her way down the hall quietly, making sure she kept track of where she was going. Finally she came to the living room and kitchen. The one window in the kitchen had rays of sun coming through it. Avery figured it was probably seven in the morning. Since she had been here there had been no clocks anywhere. It made time pass quickly and slowly at the same time.

She walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Avery's dark eyes widened and she coughed into her arm and backed away. Inside the fridge, moldy rice, cheese and old milk sat. They smelled awful and foul. She coughed a few more times then slammed the fridge door. "Okay... that was gross." She mumbled. The cabinets weren't much better. A bottle of old Sake and some un-cooked rice. She frowned and slammed the cabinet door shut. How are they not all dead yet? There is nothing to eat here! How am I going to cook for people that have no food?

"We have slim pickings around here, yeah." Avery jumped and quickly turned to see Deidara, leaned against the wall with a smug smile on his pale face. He's so…hot. NO! Focus Avery, focus. Avery sighed and glanced back at the fridge. "I see that…"

Deidara glanced at the cabinets the back at her. "We usually eat out because we're always on missions, yeah." He explained. "We will probably have to go to the store or something." He mumbled. Avery walked over to the small table and chairs they had in the kitchen. She flopped down onto the chair and banged her head on the table. "Great. Pein probably won't let me even leave to get food." Avery complained.

"Probably not," He paused and walked over to Avery, sitting down next to her. "But, if one of us went with you he-" Deidara was cut off when an orange blur went past his field of vision. Avery sat up and raised an eyebrow. "What was that?" She asked softly. "It was-" Deidara, again was cut off when something jumped on Avery, making her fall out of the chair. "Tobi…"

"Avery-Chan!" Tobi yelled happily. As she tried to sit up, Tobi kept his weight on her, making her stay to the floor. Avery didn't miss the strength he used. She would have to remember that. "Leader-Sama said that Avery-Chan will be working for us!" She just nodded, still winded by the tackle.

Avery couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked into his one good eye. Madara is on top of me. Madara Uchiha is on top of me. Oh God. She suddenly felt sick to her stomach. This didn't go unnoticed by Deidara. "Tobi, get off, yeah!" Tobi jumped off of Avery then went running back down the hall. Deidara walked over to her and held out a hand. "Sorry, he can be uh….annoying."

She just nodded and grabbed his hand, pulling herself off the floor. "Thanks." The blonde criminal smiled and nodded. "No problem."

"Anyway like I was saying," Deidara started again. "If one of us went with you Leader-Sama would probably let you go get food for the house, yeah." At the word 'house' Avery smiled sadly, remember her own home. No, I'm not thinking about that now. Time to be strong. Time to grow up.

She thought about the idea for a moment, still unsure if it would really work. "Well, it's worth a shot. I'll ask him when I get a chance." Avery stated. Deidara nodded and went back down the hall. Before he disappeared he turned and smirked. "Oh yeah, don't get Kisame fish. He hates the stuff, yeah." He winked and then disappeared. Avery rolled her eyes and sat back down at the table. "I have a feeling this job is going to kill me, or I'm going to end up killing someone." She mumbled sadly.

It only gets crazier from here.
