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 25

Note: Bashing heads can be helpful

~Kahlan's POV

Great, this is just awesome. Please note the sarcasm being used. We were whispering so none of them would hear. Do they come from the same freaking planet as Superman? This just puts a wrench into our plans. Since he knows, he'll no doubt stay up and make sure we don't leave. It doesn't matter what he is, he still needs to go to sleep though so there's still a chance we can make a run for it. The question is do we risk it?

Sighing, I pick up Rellik and hold him close to me. Burying my head into his soft neck I think through everything. It could be reckless to run away if they do catch us before we even make it out the door. One of us could die or both of us. Then yet again they could torture us as punishment and call it a warning. I don't know what they could do to us; I'm not a mind reader so I don't know how they think.

If I was in there position what would I do? Well, they act like they don't know this place at all so they must be foreigners. Then yet again it could all be an act and they're waiting for us to drop our guard to attack us…no not possible. I guess I would go with the torture method as punishment and warning because after all they need us. For now at least, but once we stop becoming useful to them they'll kill us.

Okay fine, we'll just have to reschedule the run away. Maybe we won't even do it at night when they're asleep. We can just do it during the day when we're out shopping or something. It might not cross their minds that we'll make a break for it when they're with us. After all, we didn't try anything when Hidan and Kakuzu were with us. So, for the next however many times we go out shopping with them and gain some of their trust, we'll then make a run for it.

No, that wouldn't be good either because it would be suspicious if we brought our bags with us. I guess we can always get some sort of medication that knocks people out and place it in their food somehow. Knock them out then make a run for it. But they watch me when I'm cooking food, so how would I sneak the medication into the food? Unless I get a white pill, crush it and pretend it is baking powder, baking soda, or sugar. What if they could detect it though?

"Argh," I scream into Rellik muffling my scream. "Why can't they be normal humans?"

Wish there was some hidden passage under here. That way we could escape that way and they wouldn't know…hopefully until we were gone. But sadly, there's no hidden passage. Plus they're not normal so they would probably already somehow know about the passage if it existed.

Dropping Rellik down to the floor I stand up straight. This whole time I'm thinking of ways to escape. However, none of these alien ninjas know about our cell phones. I'm the idiot who called the priest instead of calling law enforcement officers. Why didn't I actually think about this option before? It solves our problem. When they show up, Laura and I will be able to be free again. We'll then have to leave this apartment complex just in case. Besides, knives are no match against guns.

"What are you doing," Laura asks as I rush across the room to where I threw my phone.

Grinning, I pick it up and go to dial, but quickly place it in my bra as the door starts opening. In walks Konan and I let out a small sigh. It is better that she walked in then one of the others. I'll be a little sad when I call the cops and she ends up with the guys, but I'm not that upset. My first priority is to make sure Laura is safe. As kind as Konan has been she's still with them, so in the end we can't always count on her keeping us safe.

"Nothing," I reply to Laura's question.

For now I won't do anything. Tomorrow is a different story though, because I'll take my phone into the bathroom and turn on the shower. I'll use the sound of the running water to cover up my whispering as I call the police.

"It's been a long day," I say a moment later after a yawn. Konan is sitting on her bed. "We should go to bed and try solving our problems tomorrow. Goodnight and sweet dreams I'll see you two in the morning."

"So we're not…."Laura asks, not completing the question, but I know what she's asking.

"It's foolish and bound to fail," I reply repeating the words she told me Itachi said. "Besides, with all the arguing and thinking that's been going on all day I have a massive headache that I need to sleep off. Plus, I have to get up early tomorrow for my cello practice."

"Can I come to see you during practice," Laura asks with a non-scared smile.

Smiling in return, "Yeah, I'll just have to convince my teacher. Some gummy bears should work, she's addicted to them."

"What is a cello," Konan asks.

"A cello is just short of its real name the violoncello and part of the sting family," I reply proudly. "It is about four feet tall, but can be made to fit your height. Anyways, before I go on, it's an instrument that I'm learning to play."

"I bet you're doing really well at it," Laura says with a grin.

"I guess," I reply with a small chuckle as I shrug my shoulders. "I'm still learning, and I'll be glad when I master it. I've written a few songs where that instrument is needed."

"Keep practicing," Konan says. "And you'll have it mastered soon enough."

I look over at Konan. For a moment I just stare at her and she stares back. With a smile I nod my head and say, "Thank you, if you want you can also come watch."

Okay, calling the police is something I'm going to have to talk with Laura about. Konan has been nothing but kind to us and it wouldn't be fair if we caused her to go to jail. I don't care about the other members.

Laura yawns, and then says, "I'm tired."

"Agree," I reply walking over back to the bed we share. Konan nods, probably agreeing as well.

"Goodnight," Konan says, as she lies down.

"Goodnight," Laura and I say together.

We chuckle and I lay down. I watch as Laura goes over to her closet. Quickly, she opens it goes through it and a moment later walks back out with her dolls. I wait for her to get into the bed and that's when I turn the light off.

"Goodnight Kahlan," Laura says closing her eyes.

"Sweet dreams Laura," I whisper in reply closing my eyes and cuddle Rellik.

My eyes open again later on in the night. I had the scariest dream of someone forcing me to play Russian roulette with them. Not only that but, they had someone kidnap Laura and wouldn't let me go unless I won the game.

Rubbing my eyes I look around the room. I notice both of the other occupants are asleep. As quietly as possible, I remove my arms from my comfy bear and make my way off the bed. Still being quiet, I tiptoe out of the room down the hall. For a moment I stop outside my bedroom door to try and see if Leader is sleeping. Not being able to hear anything from the room and not wanting to risk him actually being awake, I continue walking down the hall to the living room.

I carefully maneuver my way around the sleeping bodies into the kitchen. Having spending a lot of the time in the kitchen I know where everything is, so thankfully I have no reason to turn on the light. So, I make my way around the room to the cabinets and pull down a glass. I then make my way to the fridge, open it and pull out the milk. It's a lot healthier to drink since I plan on going back to bed.

I fill the glass up and place the milk back. Closing the fridge, I take my time drinking my milk as I walk around the kitchen. It's a weird habit, but if I plan on going to bed, I walk around while drinking whatever it is I'm drinking before going to bed

As I get close to finishing, I walk over to the sink. Just as I go to chug the rest of the milk down I hear the door open. I freeze, the glass touching my lips as the milk waits to enter. There's no sound of footsteps as the door closes. My thoughts are still being chased from the thoughts of the dream that I woke up to. So immediately I start thinking about that along with a bunch of horror movie scenes.

Something touches my shoulder. Maybe if I was thinking rationally I wouldn't react so harshly. No one can blame me though because I heard the sound of the door opening and closing but no footsteps. So it's not my fault that I scream as I turn around taking the glass away from my lips and bash it against someone's head. I don't wait for any reaction as I hear the glass shatter and fall to the floor as I make a run for it back to Laura's room.

It's night time. I'm not one hundred percent awake, and even I have the tendency to act foolish, childish and not think rationally when I'm not completely awake. So as I run to Laura's room, I scream, "Jerry brought a scary friend ghost!" And I slam the door shut as I enter the room.

It was asked if there will be any pairings in this story. The answer is yes, but any type of romance that may start happening won't be making an appearance until near the end of this story, there will be a sequel where the romance will continue on in there but it will be slow. Plus, we will give you three options of who you want with who; and if you have another option you can tell us and we will think about it. More information will be given out about the choices in a later chapter.

Anyways, we both hope you enjoyed this chapter. Both of us are thankful for everyone who is reading, reviewing, adding to their favorite and/or alerts.
