Chapter 16

Note: Disobeying Pein results in painful exercise

~Laura's POV

"Order for two shortcakes, an ice tea and green tea~" I hum slightly while waving at Kakuzu who nods and starts the order. He probably knows like 19 recipes now seeing as he has been watching Mimi cook for over five hours now.

"It will be done soon, just wait," Kakuzu says, really getting into this job, then again he is probably thinking he'll get a bonus for his hard work… knowing Yuki… he just might.

I nod to him through the little opening from the tables' part of the café to the kitchen.

I walk round the café seeing as there aren't any new customers coming in, seeing as we only have about 10 minutes till closing time.

As I walk I spot Hidan, being lazy by sitting down at a spare table with his head on his palms, elbows on the table staring out the windows which leads outside and out to the beach seeing as the café overlooks a beach.

Me, being me, I walk up behind him and take a step to the side. Knowing I'm gonna have to do this or Yuki will with way more force.

Luke walks pass us with an 'I dare you too' look as my hand holds onto the back of Hidan's chair. I smile innocently while pulling my hand back, sending the chair to the floor along with Hidan.

He stares up at me with wide eyes like he wouldn't expect me to do that, one bit.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" he yells at me while jumping to his feet, glaring at me. And just like that Kakuzu has come out with the shortcake order and drinks and like lightening he is glaring at Hidan who is standing over me with a glare.

From Kakuzu's angle it looks like Hidan has jumped up from his seat, pushing the chair back and is now starting a fight with me… heehee he's in trouble with Pein later~

"Hidan, move away from her," Kakuzu says while glaring at him before handing Luke, who was standing by watching with a smirk plastered on his face, the order which has the table number on it before pulling Hidan backwards, away from me before saying, "Pein will be hearing about this later," and like that Hidan is trying to get Kakuzu off of him.

"Well that was fun," Luke says while holding the tray of cakes and drinks on one hand while walking off and upstairs since the order is for two high school girls on the second floor.

"Kinder," I say while rubbing my neck slightly, I'm gonna get yelled at by Pein… most likely Hidan will but yeah he will probably ask me why he picked a fight for… ahh… no idea what to say now.

I look to the clock and see five minutes left… might as well get changed into my kimono, seeing as no new customers are coming.

Once I have changed out of my uniform and into my kimono, Mimi walks in, still in her chef apron, trousers, shirt and hat.

"Hey," she says while walking passes me just as I'm getting on zori shoes on.

"Yo~" I say while tapping the front of my shoes, making sure they are on right. "Have fun with Kakuzu?" I ask with a grin, Kakuzu seemed to have fun.

She nods happily while taking her apron and hat off, it's puffy and looks like fun to play with, "yeah he's cool and a hard worker," she says with a nod, "I told Yuki how hard he was working and she seemed pretty happy about that," she nods again, "no doubt now that he's getting a little extra in his pay," she says while looking to me as I hold in a laugh.

She sees me holding in a laugh and like that we have burst out laughing for no silly reason.

Oh this is funny and yet I have no idea what's sooo funny about it.

"S-so yeah," I say while my giggles start to die down.

"You girls in here?" Yuki calls into the changing rooms before walking in and walking over to us with a smile on her face. "I have your pay for the day right here, six hours of work," she says while handing us both an envelope which has the money in it seeing as she hates checks.

"Thank you~ I'll be needing this today," I say while pulling my money envelop up my sleeve with my other stuff. Bag?

Why I'll use my sleeve ha-ha. Yuki smiles then starts to change, "see you guys later then," I say while giving a wave then hopping out the changing room to see, both Hidan and Kakuzu arguing and the next thing I know Kakuzu has kicked Hidan out the store while its raining and yells at him to walk home without an umbrella.

I laugh watching them as Kakuzu turns to me while his eyes stop narrowing down since he was probably glaring at Hidan.

"We're going," he says while NICELY grabbing my wrist and dragging me out as Hidan is already half a mile down the road, probably running to get home before he gets completely soaked.

"Okay~" I hum while walking decide Kakuzu with an umbrella in hand as he is using the one that Hidan was using this morning. Soon we see the apartment and it looks like Hidan is already inside, seeing as I don't see him anywhere.

I quickly grab my keys as Kakuzu puts away his umbrella and I open up the door using said keys. Me being me, I run in after I put my umbrella away and took off my zori.

"We're home~!" I yell while running in and straight away see Kahlan on the sofa and jump in the seat beside her. "We got paid and Kakuzu got paid extra for working hard," I say while crossing my legs, having no trouble with my loose kimono.

Kahlan nods her head as her laptop is lying in her lap with her MP3 on top of it, I think she may be listening to music.

And like that about six seconds after I say we got paid, Pein walks into the room and straight over to Kakuzu and me.

"Your pay checks need to be added to the money for everything needed," he says and I nod easily. I can always get more tomorrow at work and work is easy seeing as I don't have to cook anything.

"Okay~" I say while handing him my pay envelop. Kahlan gives me a sad look but I reassure her with a smile. I seriously don't mind I have more than enough money in my bank account; and Kahlan should know that.

Kakuzu glares for a second before handing Pein his envelop and like that Pein has three of them… looks like he always took Hidan's.

Kakuzu mentions Pein over who only raises a brow as Kakuzu stands up and whispers something in his ear.

Pein's expression goes from normal to utterly pissed.

Pein nods as Kakuzu goes back to reading the book and Pein walks over to the kitchen opening and like that my ears hurt.

"HIDAN! Get your ass over here now, that's an order!" he yells loudly. Ahh I see… Kakuzu told Pein he almost started a fight with me while he was working… he is very 'pissed off' right now.
