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 50

Note: Never leave me alone in the kitchen.

~Laura's POV

I lean my head on my palm while kneeling down beside Kahlan's bed, my elbow on the bed as I think this situation through very carefully. The Akatsuki say they are coming to get us, Tsunade and Naruto are determined to keep us with them no matter what, and there will mostly be a bloody battle here… well duck me… we are doomed… utterly… doomed!

I let my head drop onto the bed and groan softly, we're god damn doomed I tell you!

I lean my head back up and lean on my chin while looking to Kahlan, she seems quite happy in her sleep, like this isn't even happening.

I smile softly before moving my hair of out my eyes and behind my fringe and think, if I have to change my hair I am dying it blue black… you know Sasuke's color, it's a super cool color.

I look to my hair which is JUST touching my shoulders and think its over softly. Maybe I can click my fringe back too and wear my hair is small downwards facing pigtails.

I nod softly to myself and stand up, heading out of the room just as Hinata walks in.

"See ya later Hinata~" I sing to her as she blushes a little before nodding and walking over to Kahlan's side. Tsunade must have really meant always keep an eye on us. I look round the hallway for a second and watch as Sakura walks out of the living room door, sighing softly as I wave to her, gaining her attention.

"Hey Sakura," I say while holding back a small gag, I am grateful for what she has done for us but I still don't like her, one she lied to Naruto, two she stole Naruto away from Hinata just being in the anime and three… she has pink hair!

"Hey Laura," she says with a smile while turning herself to face me, "Do you need something?" she asks with her smile while looking to me. I nod my head with a smile as I think of Sasuke's hair color… its navy I think?

"I was wondering if you could pick me up some hair dye." I ask with slight puppy eyes as she blinks at my question, probably wondering why I was dye. "I was thinking a bluish black or maybe a really dark blue you know… like… umm…" I ask with a fake thinking tone, I have no doubt that she knows what color I am thinking of.

Sakura's eyes shine for a second before smiling a tiny bit, knowing what color I am thinking of.

"But… isn't that a boy's color?" she asks while sweat dropping a little on her cheek; she KNOWS the color I am talking about! I tilt my head a tiny bit in question as she says that, her eyes almost pleading me not to choice that color.

"Well I like it," I say with a smile and a slight grin, "plus I can't choice a bright color because my hair is dark and won't work and dark blue or bluish black is a great color for my hair," I say with my grin as she sighs, its true I have tried to dye my hair white before… it didn't work it looked more like a light brown.

"I see, I'll tell Tsunade I'll be going to pick that up," she says with a small smile before walking down the hallway to the end before entering a room which has a dark red door. I have no doubt that she'll use a transformation Jutsu to get out of the building unseen by the Akatsuki.

I smile softly before walking into the living room to see Kiba and Naruto, shirtless, training it seems. I tilt my head to them as I watch them sparing with each other, Akamaru barking from the sidelines for Kiba as Naruto yells angrily before flipping Kiba over and making him land just in front of Gaara who kicks Kiba, a reaction probably as Kiba falls to the ground as Akamaru runs over, whining loudly.

"Ouchie," I say while watching Kiba sit up, holding his side that was kicked hard by Gaara who is watching Kiba, wondering where he came out of seeing as he was talking to Kakashi. Kakashi is just watching with an amused look on his face.

"Sorry," Gaara says before shaking his head at Kiba who grins a doggy grin before standing up and petting Akamaru. Kiba shrugs his shoulders to Gaara before turning to Naruto who gets back into a fighting pose. This should be fun to watch.

"I'll be right back!" I hear Sakura yell in the hallway which makes its way into the living room. I shrug my shoulders with a grin before sitting down on the sofa beside Killer Bee who seems to be reading through his raps.

"Yo Bee," I say with a grin while waving a small wave as he looks away from his book and looks down to me, a smile on his face.

"Yo, you don't seem to grow, you know," he says as I give him a blank look at that. I AM GROWING. I was five foot only two years ago. I think I'm about five foot two now.

I childishly stick my tongue out at him, which causes him to laugh and I turn to Kiba and Naruto, they look like they are finishing their spar.

"Hey Laura," Naruto greets, all sweaty and tired, I just stare at him before waving with a smile, he seems pretty happy with that grin on his face; he seems to have completely forgotten about the whole 'Akatsuki' thing.

"Yo Naru-kun," I say with a cheeky grin as he laughs and grins back.

"The fox is finally out of the box, that's whack, Yo," Bee says while shaking his head which confuses both Naruto and I as we tilt our heads to him.

Killer Bee only shakes his head at us both before showing Naruto a fist, Naruto grins before fist bumping Bee who turns to me with his fist as I giggle and fist bump him back. I LOVE doing that.

"I'm going to make something to eat," I say randomly while jumping out of my seat and head over to the door which is connected to the living room, it's a kitchen for the people who come to the hotel but prefer homemade food to hotel food.

I grin softly, finally getting to cook without Kahlan telling me to do stuff and skip over to the fridge, grabbing some bread to make some lovely toast. I look round the kitchen till my eyes lie upon the toaster in the corner of the room and skip over to it; my toast is soon to come.

I grin happily while plugging the toaster into the socket and look over the options on the toaster; I'll put it on the highest setting for some quick toast. I turn the knob on the side of the toaster to the highest bit and put my bread into the toaster, I push down the side part of it, seeing as it's a toaster that pops out the bread unlike some other ones.

I giggle softly to myself while sitting up onto the corner, opposite the toaster and watch the toaster as it starts to cook my bread.

I lean my elbow on my knee and my chin on my palm. I don't know why but in a way I hope the Akatsuki do come, if they do and they make a deal to have one of us, I'll give myself over to them before Kahlan can or try to. I don't want her getting hurt anymore; just remembering those cuts on her body makes me feel guilty and horrible inside… I feel like a terrible person.

Pein hasn't hurt me and he hasn't tried to yet either… well apart from the whole 'feeding kitten' thingy but he only bruised my whist, it didn't hurt really seeing as I have pretty thick skin.

I sigh softly before looking to my arms, not a single scar on my skin, no where on my body has a scar seeing as I heal really well, it kinder runs in my family.

I'm torn away from my thoughts as I smell something… smoke… it smells like smoke.

I look up from the floor… and see the toaster is on fire… DAMN MY BREAD!

"FIRE!" I yell while falling off of the counter, away from the burning toaster that is but none the less… my back hurts now.

I feel and hear a mad rush of feet running towards the kitchen and I look to the door as Kakashi, Gaara, Naruto and Killer Bee rush into the room. Their eyes fall upon the toaster and Gaara quickly jumps into action but using the sand in that huge gourd of his and tries to put out the fire… that doesn't work… whoa… Gaara's sand sucks against fire.

"Laura turn on the sink!" Kakashi yells as I jump to my feet and turn the sink on which was right behind me. Kakashi starts making some super-fast hand signs before yelling, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" he yells as I look to the water in the sink as it starts to take the form of a miniature dragon. I watch with awe as it shoots out of the sink and attacks the toaster just as something pops into my head.

"Wait Kakashi! The toaster has electric running through it!" I yell and watch as I cover my eyes slightly but enough to see as the toaster… well… blows up like Deidara's art and can't help but yell "Katsu!" I yell randomly as Naruto pushes me to the ground, covering me with himself as I look above him, bits of toaster flying everywhere and smoke filling the room.

"Phew… that was close," I hear Naruto say before sitting up, rubbing his head before taking out some rubble out of it. I giggle watching as he yells before shaking his head wildly, trying to get rid of all of the rubble of the toaster.

I sit up and watch as the door slams open, Tsunade, Shizune, Mei, Ōnoki, Anko and Sai. I chuckle slightly as Tsunade looks at the broken toaster before looking round the room.

"What happened in here?!" she yells while glancing round at everyone, it seems she is still pissed at the whole 'Akatsuki' thingy. I chuckle awkwardly while standing up, gaining the attention of her and everyone else.

"Well you see… I was making toast and well… the thoughts of what will happen next kinder pulled me to another world," I say while chuckling slightly as Naruto and Kiba both give me very confused looks, "I kinder got scared for a second and forgot about the toaster," I say while biting my bottom lip before looking to the floor, my hands shake slightly as I hold back the urge to fake cry, I won't cry, I will look weak if I do. "I'm really, really reeaaally sorry," I hang on the word sorry as I stare at the ground, my eyes tearing up a little but I quickly rub my eyes, I should take a job in acting… maybe I will one day.

"Well… there is nothing you can do about it now young one," I hear Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage says with a small frown on his face, he is tinier then me! I pout a tiny bit while looking at him, "you yelled 'Katsu' while the toaster exploded… Why," he asks while slightly raising his voice at 'why' and is now giving me a stern look.

I give an 'oh' look before scratching my cheek a little, oh yeah I yelled that, "Well, Deidara always yells it while blowing stuff up and I wanted to try it out," I say while laughing a tiny bit as Ōnoki narrows his eyes at me a little which results in me hiding behind Naruto, you asked!

"Yes, Tsunade mentioned that you know the Akatsuki personally," he says while keeping his stern gaze as I slowly step out from behind Naruto who is watching with a slightly serious slightly confused look on his face.

"I'm back!" Sakura calls into the hotel floor as Kiba and Naruto rush out of the room, probably to greet her. I give a small sheepish smile to Ōnoki as he sighs slightly and Tsunade and Shizune leave the room.

"Well… I'll try to fix the toaster in a few minutes," Kakashi says awkwardly as you can cut the tension in the room with a butter knife. I nod to Kakashi and watch Mei give me a small smile before patting my head softly, a gentle smile on her lips.

"It's okay, we're not angry," she says as I close my eyes as she leans forwards and I think pecks my forehead softly, "Your too small and cute to get mad at," she hums softly before I am once again being suffocated into her chest… can't… breathe… again.

"Mei, the child can't breathe!" I hear Ōnoki yell as Mei pulls away from hugging me to face him, a small pout on her face.

"I would never hurt her," she says with a small glare as Ōnoki gives a glare back… thank god Mei doesn't like fights.

I slowly and carefully creep out of the room and head for the hallway, Sakura must have my hair dye and she can put it in for me, once she reads the instructions that is… oh wait they have hair dye in the Naruto world… but still she is reading those instructions.

In case you need an update or a reminder about the pairings here it is.

1zara-uchiha1 and I have decided to leave the pairings up to you readers. Laura and Kahlan both have three choices but if you don't like the candidates we have picked you can chose someone else and give a reason why. 1zara-uchiha1 and I will discuss it with one another and decide if we agree with your reason or not.

For Laura here are the three candidates to choose from:

Pein

Hidan

Deidara

For Kahlan the three candidates to choose from are:

Pein

Sasori

Itachi

Now here are the results so far. Laura still has two votes for Pein. She has one vote for Hidan and five votes for Deidara. The suggestion AshXChan made about either Sasori or Kakuzu is still under consideration and only one other person thinks that Kakuzu would fit. As for Kahlan she has seven votes for Itachi and no one else.

We both hope you're enjoying this story. Don't forget to vote in a review or PM. Thanks to all who have review, add to favorite/alerts and voted. Please stay tuned for the next update and review. Once again thank you until next time. ^.^
