1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.

Chapter 13

Note: Anything that is locked does not stop a ninja.

~Kahlan's POV

"Why does Tobi have to ask for sugar," Tobi whines.

"So you don't destroy anything," Laura says with a somewhat smile.

I shrug not caring as I start removing the gauze and icepack from my ankle. Whatever was wrong with it last night, it feels better now. I'll just have to make sure not do anything too strenuous with it for the next couple of days.

"Who the fuck made these rules," Hidan yells.

"We are inside," I speak up as I go to place the icepack in the freezer. "Plus none of us are deaf so use an inside voice."

"I'll fucking yell if I fucking want."

"Hidan I will kick you back outside," Pein says in a dangerous type of voice. "And you won't be allowed back in until tomorrow."

"I made the rules," Laura says smiling. "Leader approved of them so no complaining."

"This is fucking stupid," Hidan grumbles. "I should fucking be allowed to kill someone. Jashin-sama won't be fucking happy if I don't fucking sacrifice someone soon."

"Last warning," Leader warns. I grab the last remaining peach that I found and start eating it. It was in the fridge hidden. I had forgotten I placed it there. "Those are the rules and I will add more to them if I must."

"Let me get this straight," Deidara says. "I can't blow anything up unless it's in a clearing and a bunch of junk and I'm only allowed to blow Tobi outside, hmm?"

Leader glares and says, "If that's what is says then yes. Now, there is also another matter of business that needs to be taken care of. Laura works at a café and will talk with her boss about letting a couple of you start working there. So, I'll be sending one team to go and try for this job. I've thought about this and decided Kakuzu and Hidan are to go."

"Why the fuck do I have to fucking work at some fucking café?"

"Do not question my decision," Leader says glaring at Hidan.

"Hidan shut up," Kakuzu glares. "Or I will place your head back in the freezer."

"Fucking assholes and shitty partners," Hidan grumbles.

"Laura," Leader says turning to my friend. I move closer to her so to jump in the way just in case. "When does this job starts?"

"It starts at three pm," she replies tapping her finger against her chin. "I leave a bit early to arrive on time."

Leader nods then turns to Hidan and Kakuzu. "You are to leave with her. Those rules in your hand also apply when out in public. We don't know if any other ninjas are here as well so be on your guard. This meeting is dismissed."

I walk out of the room as Hidan starts talking about whatever. Heading down the hallway I walk into Laura's room. I check my phone for any messages because I have a few friends that I talk to online and do commissions for and they call me when they want a commission done. Seeing no messages, I place the phone down, grab my clothing and walk out of the room to head to the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom I close the door using my foot. Placing the clothes down on the sink I turn and lock the door. I go and turn on the water in the bathtub. Letting the water run over my hand to test the temperature I make sure it's just hot enough where it doesn't feel like my skin will burn off.

With a small smile I lift the thing that turns on the shower and start to undress. I remove the bandage from my ribs. The wound looks ugly and is probably going to need stitches. It also feels a bit sore so I try not to twist around so much.

I step into the bathtub closing the curtain. The hot water feels good against my skin and I let out a sigh of contentment. For a moment I just stand there letting the hot spray relax my muscles.

With another sigh because other people are going to need a shower/bath as well, I start getting my hair wet. With my hair wet I grab the Japanese cherry blossom shampoo. It smells amazing, though the guys might not think that. It's a good thing all bills were paid off last week. I'm going to have to go out and shop for some stuff. As for the shopping for clothes they are just going to have to wait.

I use the lovely shampoo to wash my hair and then use the same type of conditioner as well. The water starts losing some of its heat so I quickly use the same smelling body wash as well. Turning the water off I get out wrapping the towel around me.

"Sempai Tobi can't get this door open," I hear Tobi yell from the other side.

"Go away," I call out "The door is lock."

Thank God it is lock. There's no reply and I quickly start drying off. I pull on my red torn leggings, blue gym shorts and black tank top. Grabbing the brush I look in the mirror. Staring back at my reflection I start brushing my medium length layered black violet hair. My hair is not naturally black violet I had dyed it like that just a couple days ago. In a couple of months I'll be dying it the same color again. My natural hair color is platinum blonde.

I place the brush down then quickly brush my teeth. With that finished I grab my glittery black eyeliner and apply it on to make my pale green eyes to make them seem brighter. Eyeliner is the only type of makeup I wear.

With a small smile to my reflection, I grab the yukata and unlock the door and walk out leaving the towel in the hamper. Tobi is leaning against the wall on the opposite side. He quickly stands up as I walk out.

"There the bathroom is free," I say then start walking down the hallway back to Laura's room.

Inside Laura's room I place the yukata down next to my laptop. I don't know what else to do with it and I can't wash it. I'm not good at washing clothes…yet. I'm learning but I keep messing up with my own clothes that is the reason why I don't touch Laura's clothes to wash them.

Grabbing my laptop I head for the living room. I have to make sure Laura is alive still. When I walk into the living room I see Sasori on the couch reading some book. Leader (I need to learn his name) is having a conversation with Konan. Kakuzu has a calculator out looking like he's trying to figure out how to use it. Hidan is flipping through the channels. Zetsu is heading towards the kitchen. Itachi, Kisame, Deidara and Laura are missing.

"Yo," I hear Laura say from behind me.

Turning around I see her with a grin and her hair is wet. Letting out a sigh of relief because that means she was taking a bath in the other bathroom. That's right this is a two bedroom two bathroom place.

"Hey," I reply. "Do you know where Itachi, Kisame and Deidara are at?" I have to make sure no one is doing some sort of sneak attack.

"Deidara is using my bathroom to take a shower. Leader sent Kisame out to get a better look about this place. As for Itachi I don't know where he is."

"Okay," I reply with a nod. So we have to keep a look out for Itachi. "We have to talk to Leader and figure out what we're going to do about shopping. I think we should get food and other hygiene products before we shop for clothes. That food won't last very long in there."

"Sounds like a good idea to me," she replies smiling.

With a nod I walk over to Leader and Konan with Laura following. The two of them stop talking and look up at the two of us. Leader does not look happy that we have stopped his little conversation.

"Sorry to have bothered you," I say. "But there are some things we need to discuss about. The food that we have was enough to last me and Laura for a month, but now with all the extra mouths to feed it won't last long. Right now, I only have enough to buy one week and that's if I buy very extremely cheap stuff. As for clothes, there isn't enough to buy that many outfits. So I was thinking food and hygiene products should be bought first."

Leader stays silent for a moment. He turns to Konan and they whisper a few things to each other. He then turns back, looking at me and Laura. "When Laura, Kakuzu and Hidan comes home, add their money to the money you have and take them with you to go shopping. Whatever is left place it to the side until it can be used to buy clothes."

Biting down on my cheek I think his words over. I don't want to use Laura's money but it is going to be needed for the shopping. I look at Laura then back at Leader. I'll just have to pay Laura back.

"Fine," I say. Then out of nowhere Itachi is standing next to us. Laura squeaks surprised and places her hand on her chest.

"You can't just go around scaring people like that," Laura says. I hold back a chuckle. Itachi says nothing to her as he looks at Leader.

"I found a hidden room with more weapons," Itachi says.

Leader raises his brow then looks over at me to glare. "What? I said I collect weapons as a hobby and to use them for a zombie apocalypse."

"You will be sealed off from that room," Leader almost growls out as he stands up.

I slightly glare at him as he tells Itachi to lead him to the room. What I want to know is how Itachi found the room? I had to get permission to change the room and the door. It took me forever to get the perfect door to blend into the wall. It's has no door knob on the outside. What it has is a small slot for a key to unlock the door, but I had to do a lot of work to make it look like cracks instead of a key slot. Well, I just hope they don't find the two safes I installed that are hidden. Anyways, I should start getting to work; I've got a ton of commissions to do.
