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 41

Note: Leader will come up with a cover plan for the real plan.

~Kahlan's POV

My eyes look around the large living. Everything is covered in sheets to keep the dust that is in the air off them. I told the members that they would be able to have a room for themselves, so most of them had gone upstairs to pick out bedrooms. Leader had ordered Itachi to place traps and genjutsu around the house. Now all of them are in the parlor discussing whatever it is they are discussing.

I limp over to the couches and start yanking the sheets off, causing the dust to stir. Wrinkling my nose I sneeze a few times. With a sigh, I rub my nose and continue removing the covers off everything. I'm going to have to clean this place.

Gathering up some cleaning supplies that are surprisingly still in the house, I start cleaning the first floor starting in the kitchen. I start from the top, clearing out the cupboards by placing the dishes in the sink and old food in the trash so that there is room for new food. I almost flip out when I saw a mouse. Well, we're going to have to get a cat to take care of any mouse problems.

After cleaning out the cupboards, I started washing the counters and stove, then the dishes. Then I started cleaning out the fridge and freezer in the middle of the room. Finally I cleaned the floor and went to clean out and organize the pantry. Together the pantry and kitchen are a total of thirty minutes.

Even though I wanted to take a break I started cleaning the large dining room and then the living room. By the time I finish cleaning the Akatsuki finish their little meeting. I stand in the hallway watching Itachi, Kisame, Kakuzu and Zetsu walk out the door.

"Kahlan," Leader says. I turn and look at him. "Once they get back with the information of where the Konoha ninjas are staying, your job as a spy will begin."

I only nod in reply and look up to the stairs. The stairs are dark with only a light at the top that barely penetrates the darkness. If you don't stick close to one of the walls you're liable to fall. When I was little I used to be afraid of the stairs.

Now that I'm no longer cleaning I start thinking about the past; I can feel by throat starting to clench and my eyes burning from unshed tears. It's weird to be in this house knowing my grandfather will never be in one of the rooms. Shaking my head I push those thoughts away, I can't think about that while around the Akatsuki.

"What information do you want," I ask turning back to Leader.

In truth I don't want to be their spy, but I'm only doing it because Leader said he would kill Laura and me. So I'll be their spy, but I won't like. It means I'll have to lie to Laura and that's the part I really don't like.

"Everything," Leader replies.

"I'm fucking hungry," Hidan suddenly says. "Where the fuck is the kitchen?"

"Go down the hallway you'll see a little doorway that will lead you into the dining room. Inside there's a large table, follow it all the way down and look for another doorway and that will lead you to the kitchen."

"What the fuck," Hidan says confused.

"Tobi knows," Tobi says grabbing Hidan's arm and runs down the hallway.

The remaining Akatsuki members drift apart to go do whatever they have to do. Sighing, I make my way into the parlor. Closing the door I walk over to the purple piano, a gift my grandfather got me at the age of ten. With a smile I walk over and go through the process of making sure it's in tune. I then take a seat and stare at the keys.

Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath I think through a list of songs I can play on the piano. Slowly lifting my hands, I let them hover over the keys for a moment. With a quick shrug, I decide to play Beethoven's fifth symphony. As I'm playing I hear someone come into the room, but I ignore them keeping my eyes close as I continue playing.

"You need to go into town for supplies," Leader says as I finish playing the song.

"Wouldn't that be a bad thing," I ask opening my eyes and looking over at him.

"It will be helpful with our plan of making you a spy," Leader replies. "You'll be going into town with Sasori and Deidara. Once information is found about the Konoha ninja, Sasori and Deidara will be contacted and will pass the information onto you. If by any chance while you are out and run into them, you are to go with them. Sasori and Deidara have been ordered to stay behind a few feet to keep an eye on you and if there are any Konoha ninja they will put up a fight to help cover up that you'll be our spy."

"Nice," I say moving away from the piano. "May it be alright if I ask for a few things in return?"

Leader slightly narrows his eyes. I stare blankly at him waiting. His eyes go soft for a split second then his face goes blank.

With a nod Leader says, "You can ask and I'll think about it."

"I want no one in my grandfather's bedroom and no one touches my stuff; that is all."

"I'll make sure no one touches your stuff," Konan says walking into the room.

"Your grandfather's room will be off limits to my members," Leader says after a few moments.

Swallowing down my pride I nod my head and say, "thank you."

"Sasori and Deidara are by the door waiting, you should leave now," Leader says then walks out.

Konan walks over and places her hand on my shoulder. My body becomes stiff, not sure how I should feel about Konan anymore. I trusted her but I guessed it slipped my mind that she's also one of them.

"Be careful," she says.

I say nothing as I move away and walk out. I make my way down the hallway to the foyer where Sasori-Danna and Deidara are waiting. Placing my shoes on, I walk out with the two members a few feet behind following me.

As I'm walking my eyes constantly scan everything around me. They pass over the normal looking people and the seagulls talking to one another. The breeze coming off from the ocean helps calm my nerves. What if the Konoha ninjas find out the truth? What if Laura hates me after this? Will I even be able to lie to Laura? I know I can lie to the Konoha ninja, I hardly know them.

It takes about ten minutes to get into town. I can sense Sasori-Danna and Deidara move closer but still keep some distance. With a slight annoyed scowl I start walking to Wal-Mart because it's the store I like shopping at, only to remember it's bombed and head for Target.

Deidara and Sasori-Danna start having a quiet argument about art. I say they're both wrong because art is all about taste and opinion, to me there really is no correct art. As we're walking I think I see Laura with a blonde and red head. I slightly tilt my head and can't help but laugh out loud how I'm also with a blonde and red head.

My random laughing out loud causes people to look over. Some of them give me weird looks like I've lost my mind. Others go back to what they were doing not caring. Sasori-Danna and Deidara have stopped arguing. Most of all, I have also gotten the attention of Laura, the blonde who I recognize and Leader calls the 'Nine-tails' and the red head.

I stop laughing and my body slightly tenses. I don't want to lie to Laura, but if she ever finds out the truth I hope she can understand the reason why I did it and forgive me. So taking a deep breath, I take off running across the street.

"Kahlan, un," Deidara shouts angrily probably keeping up with the whole acting plan.

I feel my body stop moving and then start walking backwards. This actually freaks me out just a tiny bit. I look down to see nothing on me.

"You're not going anywhere," Sasori-Danna says. Okay now I'm getting confused, are they still acting or are they really trying to keep me with them?

"Let her go," the blonde shouts glaring.

The blonde runs over creating copies of himself. One copy of the blonde ninja takes off in a different direction just leaving and another one goes over to Laura. People that are around the street or inside shops start watching what is going on.

Soon fighting breaks out between Deidara and the blonde. Deidara uses small explosions getting rid of some of the clones. Sasori-Danna keeps a hold of me somehow. The people that are around and watching are starting to freak out. Some of them have taken off running and screaming. I'm pretty sure cops will be getting here soon if this continues.

While the blonde ninja is fighting Deidara the other ninja decides to join and fight Sasori-Danna. It is at this moment that I become free. As Sasori-Danna pulls something out I take the chance to run across the street. Reaching Laura immediately I pull her into a hug.

"We have to go now," I say a moment later after we both stop hugging.

Suddenly the clone blonde that left comes back with three other ninjas that are females. One is a brunette holding a pig, another has long indigo hair (it looks indigo) and the other is a busty blonde.

By now the streets are clear and I can hear sirens in the distance. We are going to be in so much trouble if we don't leave now.

"We're going to be in there," I say pointing to a small ice cream shop.

"Naruto," the busty blonde yells. "Gaara we must leave and get back to the others."

"But…." The blonde ninjas says but gets stopped by the busty blonde.

"No buts Naruto," she yells. "Leave some of your clones behind if you want but we must go now!"

"You can't take them with you, un!"

Deidara pulls out a large chunk of clay. I don't know how all I know is that he turns those into bombs. Grabbing Laura's hand I take off running with her to get out of the way from any of the explosions. Good luck to the Konoha ninjas.
