Chapter 10
Note: Rules save lives
~Laura's POV
"The sleeping bags are in the closet in the hallway!" I yell back as we get close to my room. Don't want them catching a cold.
So the Akatsuki group is staying with us… cool.
I grin a little as Kahlan walks into my room and pulls the bed on wheels out from under my bed; it's like a bed but it's on a lower level and it has wheels.
That must be for Konan since my bed is big enough for 3 people but yeah Kahlan and I can share.
As she is doing that I grab my laptop from under my pillow and turn it on, a picture of me and my friend, Tyler who is still in England, she was like my sister but I haven't talked to her in a little over 2 years now, she's cool she can use a gun.
I think carefully and quickly hide my Akatsuki plushie which is of Deidara and Sasori under my covers, place my pillow on them and sit on them. That's a good way of hiding them.
"Phew," Kahlan sighs while lying out on the wheel bed, it's pretty heavy even if it is on wheels.
I giggle slightly at Kahlan as she flips herself onto her front and starts to daydream for a bit. I look up from my laptop as word pops up and see Konan walking into the room, taking her cloak off.
We meet eyes as she's about to put her cloak down, she bows softly to us while having a little smile on her face.
"Thank you for sharing your room with me," she says then straightens herself out from her bow.
"No problem~" I say while grinning then turn back to word as I type down 'rules for …' for whoever the rules is for. I make 10 words for each Akatsuki member. Everyone is going to have rules and they are going to follow them if they don't wanna get water gun-ed. Have water pistols and I'm not afraid to use them, Tyler gave me a GREAT aim.
"What cha doing?" Kahlan asks while sitting beside me, taking up a bit of my huge fluffy pillow; it has cherry blossoms on it.
"Making rules for everyone," I say as Konan slowly takes a seat on the other side of me, probably wondering what the heck I am using.
"Can I help?" Konan asks while doing a yoga cross legged sitting way… damn that way HURTS I know I have tried it many times before.
I grin and nod my head happily~ everyone thinks we have no idea what they are capable of so Konan can tell me about them so I can put like 'no killing' or 'no explosions in this house'.
I think it took about 20 minutes of Konan telling us about the group to get ideas about what the rules shall be. One of the rules for Kakuzu and Pein is 'don't sell what doesn't belong to you' yes that idea was from Konan. I knew she was a good guy… err girl!
After another 20 minutes I had all the rules ready for the Akatsuki and Konan agreed to them all so Pein HAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!
Deidara's rules:
No blowing up things unless it's in a clearing and the stuff is junk.
Only blow up Tobi outside of the house.
Stay out of the girl's room.
Tobi's rules:

Stay out of the girl's room.
Hidan's rules:

No blood in the apartment.
If you piss off Kakuzu or Kisame they have permission to knock you out.

Do not steal food from leader or Kahlan she also has permission.
Stay out of the girl's rooms.

Kakuzu's rules:

Keep Hidan and Tobi in line.
Zetsu's rules:

No blood in the apartment.
Keep Tobi in line and away from Deidara.
Leader's rules:
Do not sell stuff that doesn't belong to you, you wouldn't like it if it was you.
Do not mess with Kahlan's laptop, she gets paid on it.
Keep everyone in line.
No blood in the house it's hard to get out the carpets and cost money.
Konan's rules:
Keep everyone in line.
You have permission to punish any Akatsuki member.
Help around the house, us girls need to help one another.
I slowly rub my forehead at all the thinking as Konan agrees to all the rules and to help if we need help, 2 people working and 10 people doing nothing? That isn't going to work.
"What are we going to do about the money? I am NOT selling my weapons," Kahlan says while crossing her arms, showing that she means it. She has been collecting them for years now and she has a huge collection.
I close my eyes thinking as I remember that there are only 3 people working at the Cosplay café and the café has 2 floors of tables and chairs. It's pretty hard work at the café so it does explain why I get paid super well.
"I can call Yuki if she has any room for some of the Akatsuki members? There are only 2 waiters and 1 chef; and the café has 2 floors so it's pretty hard and I'm sure she wouldn't mind. Heck she has more than enough money seeing as she could retire and so could her children and her grandchildren," I say while nodding my head.
Her mother is super rich and she passed away last year so Yuki got all the money but she loves the café and isn't going to close it anytime soon.
Konan nods softly and looks over the rules carefully, "how much does it pay per person?" she asks and I think. The café is near the beach so it's super popular with the normal people around here and tourists so yeah the pay is good.
"About $35 per hour and since its 6 hours its $210 per day and me being me I get my pay every day," I say smiling, I love getting paid everyday it's fun. And I only have to work weekdays not Saturdays or Sundays.
Konan nods slightly and thinks.
"Ahh it's about 3,500 ryō an hour to you so it would be 21,000 ryō per day," Konan nods a little more as she thinks this through deeply.
"That should be enough for clothing, food and other things," she says while nodding her head. Ohh she's thinking that through. Is 21,000 ryō anyway? I have no idea but 200 ryō is more or less $2 right? So it must be a lot I think.
"I'm printing them~" I say as I hit the print button and the printer comes alive making a 'buzz' sound. Konan jumps to her feet in a fighting stance as she glares at the printer… right they don't have printers in the Naruto world… ha-ha.
"I got them," Kahlan says while giving Konan a strange look. I giggle a little at Konan as she sits down slowly, keeping an eye on the printer in the corner of my room.
As Kahlan hands me them I skim through them and see that all the spelling it correct and it was smart of Kahlan to mention to put the rules in Japanese below the English. They should all understand it now.
Konan nods at the Japanese, showing that the spelling is right and slowly takes them from us.
"I'll go show Leader of these rules and the 'café job' right now," Konan says while giving us a slightly bow then leaves the room, most likely heading for Kahlan's room where Pein is staying.
"I'll get the bed yukata," I say as I start taking 3 out of my closet. Yukata are like cotton summer kimonos but since I find them super cool I wear them to bed, they rock and are super nice.
"You'll have to show me how to wear it," Kahlan says while walking up behind me and politely taking the dark red yukata, its dark red with little black cherry blossoms all over it.
I nod and slowly change into my lilac one which has a white firework pattern on mine. I show Kahlan how to change into hers by slowly putting mine go. She nods and follows me and easily gets it on. Putting a kimono or yukata on it a real skill, Yuki showed me how so I find it easy since she's a great teacher.
I yawn stretching my arms out and soon after I do Konan enters the bedroom slowly, silently closing the door since the guys in the living room are probably asleep.
"Leader has agreed to the rules and the 'café jobs'," she says while nodding to us both with a tiny smile on her face. She slowly walks over to us and I show her the yukata she can have seeing as it's pretty big, I didn't measure the sides so it came out a bit bigger then I wanted it to be.
She smiles while taking it from me, it's a nice gray with nice yellow sunflowers scattered all over it.
"Thank you," she says then changes into it, it fits her perfectly and I yawn loudly.
"Teeth~" I say then quickly go and brush my teeth. When I come back I see that Konan and Kahlan have gone to brush theirs probably so I stretch out nicely. Time to hit the hay… I'm tired.
As I get into bed I turn the lights out by clapping, I have always wanted those lights and now I have them. Soo happy~
"Night…" I murmur to myself while hugging my Deidara plushie under my covers close to my chest. I can't sleep without hugging my plushie.
