Chapter 24

Note: Ninjas are like spies but better.

~Laura's POV

My hands shake a little and so do my Sasori and Deidara plushies, running out on a group of ninjas isn't the best idea a person can have.

"They are ninjas," I murmur softly while petting Deidara's head. It's so soft and calming to pet. Kahlan nods softly before grabbing a random rucksack and starts filling it with important things like her music, clothes and more.

I really don't think this is a good idea… I mean… I think they will probably wake up as soon as we walk pass them. Kahlan gives me a small confident smile as she picks up the paper we were writing on and starts ripping it to pieces before burying it at the bottom of the bin.

I smile softly back before pulling out my old black school rucksack which has Sebastian from Black Butler on the back of it, along with the mark of his on it in purple. Trust me the guy is very cool looking at his smile is super cute.

"I'm done," I say while stuffing the last of my stuff into the bag, along with my Sasori and Deidara plushies, I am NOT leaving my cuties here while the Akatsuki may find them.

Kahlan gives me a soft nod before throwing her bag into her closet as I slowly put my bag in her closet as she closes it, pressing a button on the side which locks it while the button on the other side unlocks it.

"There," she says while wrapping her arms round my shoulder, hugging me as I stare at the closed closet, please god let this work I don't wanna die at an early age, "they won't get us okay," Kahlan says while ruffling my hair before turning to her guitar, picking it up slowly and sits on my bed, strumming a few cords.

I smile a little before grabbing some paper and start writing down a note for Konan, no doubt Konan saved us both from Pein's wrath a few minutes ago.

I write down a small letter and hide it under my pillow, it went something like this, 'Dear Konan, I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly but I'm truly scared right now, and as you've seen, I don't scare easily. No hard feelings, your super nice and I have no idea why your with these mean people, hope to see you again, super soon, Laura,' I wrote as the small letter.

I think for a second and face palm, I don't think they even know English… but there are some English to Japanese and Japanese to English books in this house so it should help them figure out what I wrote.

I shake my head a little before smiling a tiny bit. Hopefully the Akatsuki find a way back to their world but them being here does make me think… if Tobi is here shouldn't Sasori be dead? If Sasori isn't dead then they are become Shippuden and… AHH so many unanswered questions! Bleh I need to stop thinking serious matters through.

I yawn a little then quickly get changed into a dark blue yukata which I put down on my bed earlier and stretch out a little as I hear the door open slowly. I look and see Konan slowly walk in with a clenched fist. I wave a little to her as she looks to me and gives a small smile before sitting down on her bed, falling back onto her back sighing.

"Anything wrong," I ask while sitting down softly beside the bed as she shakes her head and stares at the ceiling. I'm betting her and Pein had a little fight.

I give a small smile before tapping her shoulder softly, "cheer up, life is made for having fun, right," I say as my smile turns to a grin. Konan gives a slightly bigger smile back before sitting up and rubbing her eyes a little.

"I'm fine," she says before yawning lightly, I nod to her as I stand up and go to my closet, unlock it quickly, fish out two yukatas and quickly close it, locking it again.

"It's almost ten pm," Kahlan says while putting her guitar down softly and stretches out a little as her arms pop, she murmurs something under her breath before noticing Konan is here and sends her a tiny smile.

"Here you two go," I say cheerfully, smiling happily as I pass the two their dark green yukatas.

"You certainly have cheered up," Konan says with a slight smile as she holds the yukata to her, seeing if it's big enough for her which it is. I force the smile a little more at what she says before nodding and quickly going to brush my teeth.

As I walk along the hallway I slid my hand along the walls as I hum a light song which is Love and Joy by Miku I think. I just know I listen to her version of the song.

I continue to hum as I get to the bathroom; knock on it to check if anyone is in there. Seeing as I get no reply I take it as a 'no one is in here' and open the door and indeed see no one in there.

I nod to myself before walking to the toothbrushes and take my orange one which I have hidden beside the soap. I rinse my toothbrush to get rid of the soap like taste and push some toothpaste onto it.

I hum Judas by Lady Gaga while brushing my teeth. I quickly spit and rinse my mouth before walking out the bathroom, almost walking into Itachi, who has his sharingan active, who catches me before I fall backwards onto the floor.

"Sorry and thanks," I quickly say before darting round him, I am mad at him from stopping me from escaping the living room from Pein. I quickly speed walk down the hallway, doing all in my power not to look back at Itachi.

"Your fear is written all over your face," he says as I turn around and he's right behind me. I jump back while eek-ing at him. Damn ninja powers!

"It i-is not!" I shudder then quickly shake my head, trying my best not to shudder again, "I'm not scared," I say before turning around, only to bash right into him again. I jump back again and turn round to see him gone.

"You're scared," he says from above me and I look to see a crow, flying in the air. I blink and stare at it… why the heck is there a crow in my house?! I take another step back, covering my eyes are I bump into something again. I slowly open my eyes and see him on my left, right and front… this has to be genjutsu!

"I'm not scared, I know this isn't real," I say calmly as I take a very deep breath, but still… his staring is scaring me more then there being maybe four of him.

Itachi raises his brow a little as my head spins for a second and I hold it in slightly pain and dizziness. Heck if there is more than four of him I wouldn't be surprised.

I slowly open my eyes and look at him, there is only one of him and he has deactivated his sharingan.

"Be careful with your next decision, it's foolish and bound to fail," Itachi says while looking me right in the eyes, "Leader-san is extremely irritated and will most likely be for a few days," he continues before walking pass me, purposely bashing into my shoulder with little force.

Slowly, I put my hand on where we collided, don't tell me he heard us from our room… darn spy… so that means that what he said was a warning.

Taking a deep breath, I start walking back to my room, sliding my hand along the wall again as I think through what he said.

Our decision of leaving is foolish… and bound to fail. So he knows that we are planning to leave while everyone is asleep… I mentally thank him as I highly doubt he has told the others and probably won't.

I open my door slowly and see only Kahlan in there, finished changing and strumming a few cords on her guitar.

"Where'd Konan go?" I ask while hopping into the room softly, closing the door behind me, after looking to see if anyone was coming or watching… no one.

"She went to say good night to everyone then brush her teeth," Kahlan says while sitting on Konan's bed.

"Kahlan, we can't leave," I say while walking over to my bed and staring at the ceiling, counting the little tiny dents in it, I have counted six so far. I look back to Kahlan as her head slowly turns to me with a confused look.

"What? Why not?" she asks while putting her guitar down and turning to me, crossing her arms a little.

"Well," I begin and look to my hands, fidgeting a little, "Itachi knows," I say as Kahlan opens her mouth to say something but I quickly continue, "I didn't tell him," she slowly closes her mouth, "I think he probably walked by and heard, he told me to be careful with our next decision since it's foolish and bound to fail," I repeat him as Kahlan makes a thinking face.

She soon sighs while placing her face on her cheek, "he knows… just peachy," she says while lying back on the bed, glaring at the ceiling. She soon gets up and looks to me with a seriously face, "should we still do this, I mean, should we risk the chance," Kahlan asks while looking me in the eyes as I quickly break contact and look to my hands. I have no idea… I'm really confused right now.
