Chapter 32

Note: Panicking is a bad thing to do with ninjas.

~Laura's POV

It's been a good five hours, I have finished my collection of Akatsuki plushies seeing as I brought two of them and right now I'm pacing my bedroom, Konan sitting on her bed, watching me as I do this.

"Laura please try to calm down," Konan says while watching me while I hug the Pein plushie while pacing the room, no idea why I am hugging this orange hair leader… but I am.

I nod slowly, coming to a slow halt as my door is knocked on and Konan calls for them to come to in.

I look up from the floor and to the door as it's opened, revealing Deidara and Sasori.

"Leader-sama wants everyone in the living room, now," Sasori asks then walks off from the door with a sour look on his face as Deidara peers into my bedroom, getting a good look of the place.

"This is your room, hmm?" he asks while taking a step in as Konan glares at him, giving him a threatening look as he quickly steps out again, seeing her glare.

I nod slowly to him while placing Pein down on Konan's bed and slowly pick up the Sasori plushie, why? He has red head and it looks soo cute and its soft.

"We're going," Konan says while walking out of the room, grabbing Deidara's arm while doing it, dragging him out of our room and into the hallway.

"Hey, un! Let me go damn it I can walk by myself, hmm!" Deidara yells as I stick my head out to watch Konan drag Deidara down the hallway as he digs his heels into the ground, yelling to be let go as Konan pays him no heed as she drags him.

I grin while following them with Sasori's plushie in hand as I watch them walk into the living room. I grin softly while bouncing into the room and see that everyone is in the room as Kahlan waves me over to the empty seat beside her on the sofa.

I wave to her while walking and plop down beside her.

"Any idea what this is about?" I ask while smiling, hugging the mini Sasori close as he is giving everyone a bored look while Sasori is staring at his mini him before looking to Pein who is now conversing with Konan.

"I have no idea," Kahlan says while shrugging to me, a bottle of mountain dew in her lap which is closed but has been opened. "I swear he said something about the weather though," she says with another shrug as I shrug back and yawn with a stretch.

I shrug softly and watch everyone round the room, doing their own stuff like Sasori is staring at his mini self and Kisame is chatting to Itachi who is watching and gives small but simple answers.

"Hey Itachi, has your cut cleared up yet?" Kisame asks while staring at the small scar on his forehead, seeing as none of the ninjas are wearing their headbands right now.

I look to Itachi as he stares blankly at Kisame before answering, "This scar should be gone in a few more days," he answers while placing two fingers on the big-ish cut on his forehead. I glance to his cut before looking at Kahlan who is giving a slight glare to Itachi… why she was the one who hit him over the head, giving him the scar.

"Kahlan you okay?" I ask while tilting my head a little, poking her in her arm as she snaps to me, pulling her slight glare away.

"I'm fine," Kahlan says with a small smile before taking a sip of her mountain dew before putting it back in her lap.

"Let's begin," Pein says while facing the group / his gang with Konan to his right as she watches all of the Akatsuki members turn their attention to Pein and her.

I nod my head while leaning my head on Kahlan's shoulder; I have to go to work in about ten minutes so hopefully this will be quick.

"After some careful thinking about how we got here," Pein begins as I give the Sasori toy a sneeze as the normal Sasori is watching Pein, listening. "I have figured out a few things since we came here, we came to this world when it was raining here and in our world," he says with confidences while everyone nods like they understand while I'm confused… how does that get them here?

I tile my head softly to him before looking to Kahlan, "what does that have to do with any of this?" I ask softly as she looks to me softly before looking back to Pein.

"It should rain tonight in our world, but it says it won't rain here so we're safe in case other ninjas come," Pein says before looking to Zetsu and Kisame, "keep an eye on the weather in this world," he says as Kisame nods slightly with a bored blank look.

"Understood," Zetsu says before stinking into the ground which makes me a little excited, that's soo cool to watch.

"Okay," Kisame says before sitting down on a single chair, grinning seeing as all he has to do is look out the window or at the TV for the weather program.

I glance to the clock and see we have to leave in five minutes meaning we should be leaving right now. I stand up slowly with my kimono and look up to see I have gained Pein attention.

I give a small smile before laughing a little awkwardly, "we gotta leave for work right now or we're be late," I say with a slight chuckle at the end as Pein narrows his eyes on me while I feel a tiny bit small but grin anyways.

"Fine, Kakuzu, Hidan, be ready for any attack," Pein says to the two as they both stand up from their seats or stand up from leaning on the poor wall.

"Hai," Kakuzu says while walking to the front door, grabbing the black and white umbrella while walking.

"Yeah, yeah," Hidan says while rolling his eyes to Pein who glares at him before raising his palm to Hidan who glares at him, daring him to almighty push him.

"Almighty push," Pein says as Hidan goes flying out the room and into someone.

"Hidan get off of me!" Kakuzu says, raising his voice as I follow after him and see that Hidan was thrown into Kakuzu and is now lying on him, his back against Kakuzu's.

I laugh a little while grabbing a clear umbrella which doesn't clash with my outfit. Seeing as I couldn't find a great kimono to suit this atmosphere, I went for a summer one which is light blue with spots of yellow polka dots all over it. My hair is in its normal loose bun with three anime sun kanzashi and two yellow sticks in the bun.

I grin happily while spinning my umbrella round after I open it outside. I look back to the house and see Kakuzu exit the house with a scowl on his face, mask-less which I have to say looks better than him with the mask on.

I smile to him as he gives me a blank look as his scowl goes a little and watch as Hidan walks out the house with his black umbrella, mumbling something under his breath while glaring at Kakuzu who doesn't seem to notice.

We start walking with a spring in MY step as Kakuzu I walking, glancing round every so often while Hidan is walking on ahead as always. I smile softly while walking as we reach the café, quickly get change and get to work.

"Order up~" I sing into the kitchen as Mimi hands me my order of two strawberry shortcakes, three glasses of juice and angel cake. I nod my thanks to her as she grins and goes back into the hot stream of the kitchen.

"Here is your order, please enjoy your meal and if you need anything else just ask me," I say with a smile while giving a soft bow to the family, the little toddler grinning and quickly takes a bite out of his angel cake.

The mother smiles and thanks me as the father starts to eat, nodding his thanks to me before turning back to his family.

I smile to them though they have already started eating and head back downstairs to the bottom floor, taking the stairs like normal sane people.

"Laura, we're closing early today so your shift ends after you serve the last customer," Yuki says as she passes me, heading upstairs to probably see how many people are left in the café.

I nod softly while walking over to the table near the back where three teenagers are, probably about thirteen and they are all girls. I send a smile to them as I step closer to their table and their attention turns to me.

"Hello, I am Laura and I will be your waitress today, is there anything you girls would like to order?" I ask with a smile while clicking my ball-point pen.

After about five minutes of waiting, I finally get their orders down which are two bottles of fizzy orange water, two angel cakes and a small chocolate muffin… oh and a cup of hot chocolate.

I walk to the kitchen and call in their order as I get Kakuzu's voice instead of Mimi's, "plate is to Hidan as he is now on plate duty for now.

After a while of waiting and pacing the café, it's finally time to go home and I quickly change back into my kimono and put my kanzashi back into my hair.

I quickly say goodbye to the remaining staff in the café and wait outside as the rain is only spitting, my umbrella up as I love it so much~!

"Yo guys," I sing as Kakuzu walks out of the café with his umbrella down and Hidan slowly walks out as well, pushing his hair back into place as the rain starts to soak into his hair.

"Let's go," Kakuzu says while walking pass me as Hidan smirks to Kakuzu, punches him in the back before racing ahead of us, laughing like a mad man… which he is.

I slowly walk to Kakuzu and see him glaring at Hidan before sighing, shaking his head to the crazy lunatic. I give a reassuring smile to him while walking ahead, listening closely to the sounds around us as the rain starts to come down a little heavier.

I yawn widely as it's always eight at night and the streetlights are just coming on.

I watch Kakuzu slowly as he's ahead of me but quickly freezes on the spot; I look ahead and watch as Hidan does the same thing.

"Kakuzu?" I say while looking up to him, his expression focus and serious.

"Get down," he yells slowly while pushing me down then quickly ducks, getting my kimono wet which makes me glare a little but stop as the whirl of air passes my face and a kunai knife is imbedded in the streetlights beside me.

My eyes widen a bit and look to Kakuzu who quickly gets up, grabs my wrist, pulls me up then starts running, picking me up while running see as he's ninja running.

"What just happened?!" I ask while looking to him as panic dances on my face. The Akatsuki won't kill us so who threw that Kunai knife.

"Shut up," he says while looking to Hidan as he is running along the roof, clashing Kunai knifes which fly towards him with his own kunai while running. He turns away from Hidan as some shadow like figures jump in front of us, about half a mile ahead of us.

"Akatsuki!" he, I can tell by the voice, yells while pointing a finger at Kakuzu as I turn slightly to face the figure, "put the civilian down! It ends here for you!" he yells as I narrow my eyes at the darkness, I look closely at the figure as a head of pink shows. And like that… I am holding my lunch back… its Sakura Haruno… please kill me Kami.

Kakuzu chuckles a little as I look at the other shadow figures as my eyes get used to the darkness, Kiba… with NO Akamaru and Shino.

"I'm not in the mood for you weaklings," Kakuzu says as Hidan jumps down from the roof, a murderous grin on his face while glaring at the three Konoha ninjas.

I shallow deep while holding onto Kakuzu's arm in excitement. This can't be good I've only seen Kakuzu fight Naruto and some other ninjas but not these three so I don't know how this will end.

"Ha-ha~" Hidan laughs oh so scary like while getting this scary look in his eyes, "Lord Jashin will be fucking happy with these fucking sacrifices~ he hasn't fucking had one in so fucking long he's getting fucking impatient~!" he says while looking to Kakuzu who grunts tightening his grip round me while looking to Hidan.

"You fight these guys while we run back to the 'base' when we are out of sight get back to the 'base' without being followed, understand, Hidan," Kakuzu says in a low voice that they can't hear as Hidan narrows his eyes at Kakuzu.

"Oh fuck no! I'm inching to fucking kill one of these fuckers!" Hidan yells while stomping his feet, acting somewhat like a child which makes me giggle at the sight.

Kakuzu sends him a nasty glare which spells death, hell and many more words which I shouldn't say to friends and people.

Hidan glares for a few more minutes before sighing with a yell, "Fucking fine!" he yells as I look to the ninjas, they look ready to fight but are watching us carefully.

Kakuzu and Hidan exchange looks before Kakuzu tightens his grip on me again and rushes towards while Sakura pulls back as Shino's bugs come out of his sleeve making me yell and grip onto Kakuzu more, I HATE bugs!

I hold my breath as I watch Kakuzu jump insanely high and see Hidan charge at the three, screaming like a mad man that he is.

I close my eyes as we fall and slowly open them as Kakuzu starts running and watch over his shoulder as Hidan starts fighting, throwing powerful attacks as I watch Kiba go flying backwards, crashing into a building, leaving a huge dent in it.

I feel a small bit of pressure on my neck as my sight starts to fade, "When you awake we'll be at the 'base'," I hear Kakuzu say as my vision fades completely, my sight and consciousness going as well.
