Chapter 12
Note: Busy mornings must start with food
~Laura's POV
Soo tired… yet can't sleep anymore… duuude I wanna sleep… but soo tired… great I gotta get up now.
I yawn slightly into my Deidara plushie while stretching out my legs; still never gonna touch that foot board no matter how hard I stretch.
I slowly sit up, still in my bed yukata and stretch out again. I slowly rub the sleep out and glance round my room, Konan is still seeing and it's just gone 9:00am which is extremely early to me seeing as I normally get up around about 12 or 1pm.
I'm not a morning person and my work starts at 3pm so I normally have 3-2 hours to get ready.
I stand up and stretch again till I hear my joints click and I sigh happily… that… felt… great.
I smile down to Konan as she sleeps happily; holding onto one of the pillows and acting like the world is nothing but a way away dream to where she is now.
I slowly hide my Deidara and Sasori plushies under the covers near the pillow so no one can see them. I slowly go to my drawers and pull out a very nice kimono. Its light blue with yellow stars all over it. I love this one since its yellow and blue which go great together.
I quickly change from a yukata to a kimono and look at my outfit in the mirror… it still needs something.
Ahh a kanzashi which is a hair ornament.
I quickly and silently search through my other drawers; after I put my hair into a messy an half in half out bun, it looks super messy seeing as my hair is short only coming to my chin and only half of it can fit in a bun, and pull out 3 star hair ornament and stick 2 sticks into the bun while putting 2 of the stars in the middle of the sticks, then quickly attach 3 long yellow ribbon to the last star and stick it below the other stars. Now that looks AWESOME!
I grin to my appearance and put some knee high socks on before slowly going to my door, slowly walking out of my room and slowly closing the door behind me. Never know how people react when woken up.
I slowly walk away from my room and once I'm at a safe distance from my room I start walking at my normal pace. Walking slowly is pretty easy seeing as this kimono only comes to my knees.
"Good morning~" I sing softly while walking into the living room where everyone seems to be alive, I joke, and awake. I look round the room and see that the TV is off and everyone seems to be doing their own things while Deidara, Tobi, Kisame and Hidan aren't in the room… where'd they go.
"Good morning," Sasori says from his seat on the sofa, he seems to have one of my Japanese books from the bookcase.
I'm teaching myself Japanese and I have some Japanese books to help me improve.
I grin happily at being noticed unlike yesterday where I was ignored by everyone.
"Do you know where Kahlan is?" I ask while almost hopping over to him and looking down over his shoulder to see what book he's reading. The book is 'Sakura night' which is a pretty good book while I only understand some bits of it, not all but some of it.
He points a finger to the kitchen and I nod my head happily.
I tap his shoulder as a thank you and head for the kitchen where a nice smell is coming from.
"Good morning~!" I say happily again while looking into the kitchen through the door less doorway.
I look inside and see Itachi, Kakuzu, Pein and Kahlan in the kitchen. Kahlan is cooking by the looks of it, Pein is drinking coffee as well as Kakuzu and Itachi is just looking outside while he has some drink, I think its juice, on the table in front of him.
"Good morning," Kahlan says, not looking up from her cooking like a good cook, I on the other hand, can't cook to save my life.
Kakuzu just grunts a morning I am guessing, Itachi nods his head and Pein just glancing back to me before returning to his coffee which I am taking as a morning.
I grin happily at being noticed and do a light jog over to Kahlan who is putting all the food out, I like what I see though I can't cook to save my life.
I see many things but I won't eat the omelets, I hate eggs which aren't in sweet things like cakes.
"Where is everyone?" I ask while stopping myself from stealing some of the shredded hash browns, I want to eat them they look super nice.
"Leader kicked them outside," Kahlan says while leaning close to my ear to whisper something, "he literally kicked them out the back door," she whispers which makes me giggle a little, poor guys got kicked in the behind into the backyard. Must have hurt but on the plus side I know not to wake up Pein before whatever time it is right now. I quickly check the time to ensure the time.
Its 9:30am so I shouldn't get him up before 9:10am.
I hear a chair being pulled back against the floor and I slowly look to see Pein standing out of his chair.
"After breakfast the rules will be given out and I will decide who will be going to try out for this 'job'," he says while taking his plate which Kahlan just put down.
Kahlan rolls her eyes at him as he doesn't even say thank you and he walks out the room into the living room.
"Okay done," Kahlan says as she puts the last plate of food down for everyone. There is a lot on the plates but I guess it's because she likes to cook? Well she's been cooking all the meals in this apartment seeing as she has banned me from cooking since the last time I tried I… well the stove looked like a huge piece of charcoal.
I nod happily and go to check on Konan only to have her walk into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes while lazily wearing the yukata which is lightly on.
"Good morning Konan~" I sing while waving to her. She looks up from her daydream and gives me a light smile.
"Good morning," she says while taking her hand away from her eyes and sitting down at the table besides Kakuzu. I guess she gets along with Kakuzu seeing as if I would sit next to him I would probably be panicking but yeah he's cool.
"Morning," Kahlan says while putting Itachi and Konan's breakfast in front of them then puts Kakuzu's down too. I count the plates and see there are 5 missing.
"Hey Kahlan there are 5 plates missing," I say while counting the plates again… yeah there is 5 missing. Kahlan nods while putting my plate down in front of me while I sit at the counter since it is hallow underneath I can fit a chair there and sit down at it.
"Yeah 3 guys were stupid enough to wake up Leader so he told me that they get no breakfast," she says while eating some of her omelet, "Sasori said he doesn't eat and Zetsu said he doesn't want any so that's two less plates," she says while taking another mouthful of omelet then drinks some of her juice.
I nod and quickly finish my plate, I am a super-fast eater I think I get it from my dad he can eat more than my mother, brother and sister combined, strangely enough I'm the youngest and I can do the same.
I stand up and head for the sink just as Tobi, Hidan, Kisame and Deidara enter from the backdoor, looking like they got pulled through a bush and back.
"Morning~" I say to them as Tobi hops over to the sink towards me and I do everything in my power not to shake in fear or anything. I know who he really is and I hate him and fear him a bit.
"Good morning Laura-chan~" he yells in my ear while looking down at the plate I'm washing before turning to everyone who is eating and Kisame who is given a plate seeing as he wasn't one of the people who woke Pein up. "Does Tobi get any breakfast?" Tobi asks just as Pein walks in from the living room with a clean plate.
Deidara grunts slightly and Hidan completely ignores me… nice.
"No you don't," he says while walking pass him, over to me and puts the plate in the sink just as I put mine up on the side to dry. I'm guessing I'm on wash up duty today~ Yay soap bubbles~!
Tobi whines slightly while hopping, I think, on the spot while looking to Pein.
"Why not Tobi is a good boy~" Tobi whines more, yeah right YOUR NOT A GOOD BOY! Then starts following Pein around the room till he seats beside Itachi and glares at Tobi… heehee he's getting glared at.
"That is your punishment for waking me up, along with Deidara and Hidan,"
""WHAT (UN),"" they both yell while snapping their heads to Pein as he stands up and goes to make himself another cup of coffee… I think.
"No excuses wake me up again and you'll be getting no food for the day," he says while glaring at the three while grabbing a cup from the side. A whole day? Isn't that a bit much?
"A whole day is a bit much ya know?" I say while looking up from cleaning his plate to Pein. He shakes his head while pouring the coffee then turns to me while narrowing his eyes.
"No it isn't, do not defend them," he commands then leaves the room with his coffee in hand. I shrug my shoulder slightly as Kakuzu and Itachi pass them their plates while murmurs a thank you while passing me them. I grin at the thanks and continue to wash the plates. I like doing this so I can't complain.
Tobi, Deidara and Hidan all groan while hanging their heads slightly, that is what they get for waking him up.
Moments later Pein walks back in passes me his cup and waits in the middle of the room as Sasori walks in and Zetsu walks in from the backyard. Whoa Zetsu is in the room! This is the 3rd time I have seen him since they came here… which was yesterday.
"Since everyone is finished," he says just as Konan passes me her plate, says thank you and makes her way back to her seats, "I will be giving you your rules for this house," he says while I can't help but think 'it's an apartment NOT a house' and then he starts handing out the rule sheets I printed off last night.
Hope they don't fight but knowing some of the people in the room, hint-hint Deidara, Tobi, Hidan and Kisame hint-hint, some people may argue against it.
