Chapter 28

Note: Wasting money works wonders against ninjas.

~Laura's POV

Glaring at Pein and Kakuzu slightly, I walk over to the coffee machine and turn the switch for it, turning it off, "You guys do know you're wasting electricity which is the same as wasting a lot of money seeing as electricity is very expensive now a days," I say while turning to the two men, crossing arms with a blank look.

Kakuzu gives a blank look for a split second before nodding, getting the whole 'wasting money' bit. Pein glares for a second before sighing and pinching his nose a little… well nose and piercings.

"Fine, it will be on when we need it," he says while glaring at me a little. I feel myself shrink but quickly walk around him and go after Kahlan. I know how much she hates coffee.

"Kahlan~" I sing which seems to wake Kisame up as he rolls off of the sofa and onto the floor. I suppress a giggle as he jumps into action with a kunai ready and waiting. "Morning sleepy head," I sing again as he looks at me before giving a slight glare, clearly not happy about waking up by falling off of his 'bed'.

"Morning," he says while stretching his blue arms out as loud clicks are heard. I make a face while walking towards the bathroom but soon bash into Kahlan as she exits said bathroom, looking a little pale.

"Are you okay Kahlan?" I ask as she nods her head a little, saying yes though she does still look a little pale.

"I'm fine," Kahlan says while rubbing the remaining sick off of her mouth with her palm before looking at me, "go get changed I'll be leaving for my lesson in fifteen minutes," Kahlan says while looking to Konan as she walks up behind me with some toast and eggs.

"Here," she says while handing us the two plates with toast and eggs, I make a slight face and pour the eggs onto Kahlan's plate, I hate eggs sooo much. "I got you two these before they were all gone," she says with a smile as she is wearing her kimono, seeing as she only wore it yesterday for a few hours before taking it off for bed.

"Thanks," Kahlan says as her color comes back and takes a bite out of the toast, chewing it slowly.

"Thanks Konan," I say with a smile before walking off towards my room with the plate, "I'll be getting changed!" I yell back as I soon reach my room and open the door to see both of the beds neat and tidy.

I smile slightly while closing the door behind me and settling the plate onto the bed before going to my closet to choose my kimono for the day. I open up my closet and pull out the first one that catches my eyes. It's a sunset orange with a yellow whirlpool design all over it; Naruto Uzumaki inspired this design as the Obi is blue to match his headband.

I quickly put it on and grin at the snugness. It's soo warm since I put a thin extra layer under it so it's super warm but it's only mid-thigh length.

I grin to my outfit in the mirror before putting a kanzashi which looks like the food 'Naruto' in my hair along with two yellow and orange sticks as I pull my hair into another loose bun.

I nod to my outfit and change my phone cover to orange cover to match my outfit. I smile to the mirror and run out my room and to the front door where Kahlan and Konan are standing by, already ready to go.

"Sorry for making you wait," I say with a sheepish grin while rubbing my neck, hey a kimono takes like five minutes to put on at least.

"It is fine," Kahlan says with a smile before grabbing her keys off of the hallway table before looking to us two, "let's go,"

"Wait one moment," I hear a low voice and look round to see Pein who is crossing his arms, giving us a stern look for some strange weird reason, "where are you two going, Konan," Pein says while looking to Konan as she is giving him a simple look which says 'innocence' which is kinder cute to see.

"Kahlan has a Cello lesson and if she were to miss it her teacher would ask questions," Konan says while nodding. Pein thinks for a moment before nodding and looking to me, making me feel kinder small… I have learnt he's a scary man… kinder funny to say but not funny if you're me.

"Then why is Laura going," he asks while narrowing his eyes slightly which makes me hide behind Kahlan, why is he soo mad at me for?! I didn't do anything wrong like hurt him in some way!

"I don't think leaving her alone in a house full of S-ranked criminals would be a good idea," Konan says while rolling her eyes slightly… she has a great point there. Leaving me alone with these guys spells big trouble.

Pein nods slowly before looking to the two of us, Kahlan and I, narrows his eyes slightly before turning round and heading for the living room… seriously? Is he always this moody like he has thousands of splitters stuck in his foot?

"Well, let's get going," Kahlan says while walking out the door as Konan follows after her, I nod and yell a 'be back soon' into the house and quickly run out after them, closing the door behind me while locking it. Can't have people walking in or they will get attacked by super ninjas.

I grin to them both as I start walking in the middle of them and start heading for Kahlan's Cello lesson, seeing as I have no idea where we are going, I let Kahlan lead.

After about ten minutes of walking and lots of twists and turns, we get to a huge building which says 'community center', I tilt my head slightly seeing as this is the first time I have ever come to this place.

I watch as Kahlan talks to the person at the desk as she nods, says something to Kahlan before pointing to her left, I follow her finger and see a hallway and lots of doors… wonder why?

"This way guys," Kahlan says while waving us over as Konan starts walking, following her and I skip/jog (mix of both) to her, following my best friend and roommate Kahlan

I smile following and look round the hallway and different things catch my eyes from paintings, photographs, letters and… well… doors.

"This is the place," Kahlan says while knocking on the door before entering, I watch as Konan follows and I follow in after them, after glancing at the door which has the words 'music room' on it.

I smile and look round the room as I see instruments of different sizes everywhere I look.

"Well let's get started," Kahlan says as I look to Konan who is sitting on a cream leather sofa as Kahlan sits in a chair, a cello near her as a middle age woman with light brown hair and hazel eyes, her hair looks freshly dyed as she has a little bit of dye on her neck, showing she dyed her hair on her own.

I nod and take a seat near Konan as I watch Kahlan softly start playing the cello, a music sheet placed in front of her.

I yawn a little and rub my eyes, the tune she is playing is light, high and gentle… it's making me sleepy… after a few more minutes of Kahlan playing amazingly my eyelids start to feel very heavy… I really want to sleep.

Slowly, I lean my head on Konan's shoulder as I hug a nearby pillow, she stiffens for a second but soon relaxes, I yawn again and rub my tired eyes… soft music always makes me feel sleepy… even more sleepy the Winnie the Pooh… after he's eaten five jars of honey.

After another yawn, I close my eyes and feel sleep slowly take over me as I listen to Kahlan's amazing cello playing, she's really great… I hope I don't have to walk home… so tired… sleep… oh how wonderful your rays of dreams are… but for your nightmares… please go to hell and meet Jashin you evil person / people / thing / things.
