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 74

Note: An Anime Con is an awesome idea to pass boredom and to earn money.

~Laura's POV

"Konan~ Kahlan~ I don't know what to do today~" I sing to my special people as Kahlan is on the sofa beside Konan, on her laptop writing while Konan is drinking… green tea I think… while talking to my mum, I do not know what they are talking about.

Kahlan looks to me with a small smile while her skin only looks a little brunt from yesterday, we didn't have any after sun cream so Sasori brought some weird yellow cream from some bag of his, told everyone who was burnt to put it on and HORAY! In two hours their skin was near normal but barely burnt, Dr. Ward complimented Sasori on his cream while asking about it and it started a huuuugeeee conversation about the cream and other medical stuff.

"Well, go look online for something to do," my brother says while intruding the conversation and ruffling my hair from behind, causing me to whine really loudly and hop a few steps forwards to get away from him.

"Kisaaaameeee! Hideee meeee from hiiiiiim!" I squeal while running behind Kisame and use him as a shield as my brother, John, is chuckling very loudly at my reaction.

Kisame only chuckles before stepping to the side, not saving me from my brother, "he's your brother, you deal with him."

"I think I won't," I say with a pout before running pass John and to the door as I hear the mail come through the slot. "I got it!" I yell back while bending down to pick the letters, stand up and start walking to the living room while flipping through the letters. Bills, Bills, Bills, leaflets, offers and an anime card?

"Kahlan I have got the bills," I sing while skip-jogging over to her and passing her the letters as I put the offers and leaflets down on the table before sitting down and looking over the anime card while sitting on my own sofa.

"What's that, un?" Deidara asks while walking over and plopping down on the seat beside me, making me jump a little from the sudden move.

"A card~" I sing with a smile while turning it over and seeing an animated picture of dragon balls Z, One Piece, Black Butler and… Naruto in Shippuden form.

I use my thumb to cover up Naruto's picture and read the back of it, feeling Deidara trying to read the English letters.

"It's an anime con," I say with a small squeal and bringing my legs up to cross them in my seat, I reeeeaaaally wanna go now.

"A what, un?" Deidara asks while staring at the card in my hands, giving it a strange look and I can see in the corner of my eyes, Konan and Kahlan seem to be listening.

"An Anime Con, you get to dress up as anything, eat all types of Japanese food, buy lots of cool stuff like weapons," and I have also caught Pein, Hidan and Kisame's attention, "sell stuff for lots of money," now Kakuzu's attention, "and even bid on cool Japanese scrolls which haven't been opened, I think I have one somewhere back home in England."

"You do, it's still in the attic back home," John says while butting into the conversation again and taking the card from me and amazingly, covering Naruto up with his thumb while holding it. "Oh… my… God… they are holding a contest for the newest Left 4 Dead game!" he yells in surprise before scanning his eyes over the card for all the other details, "Japanese spas, 4 and 5 star hotels, hot springs, special deals on herbs and all that crap," he says while gaining more of the Akatsuki's attentions along with Konan, Sasori, Pein and Dr. Wards' attentions.

"Where is it being held," Pein asks while leaning his chin on his palm while looking at my brother, EVEN PEIN IS INTERESTED! I wanna gooooooo it seems sooooo coooolio… I wanna go to the hot springs too!

"Let me check will ya," my brother says with a slightly annoyed tone which causes Pein to glare at him… oh well it's my brother's funeral. "It's being held… Expo center… this town… from one pm till the next day at nine pm," my brother says before handing me back the card and I carefully cover Naruto with my thumb as John walks over to my mum while smiling to her… oh great… here comes the mama's boy. "Can we go pleeease," he says all cute like which makes me gag in the back of my throat, earning a small chuckle from Deidara beside me.

"I don't see why not," my mum says while smiling, my brother only grins as my dad is polishing his camera before giving it to my mum… well her job is to take pictures, sell them and paint and also sell those… she's an artist for the record, she is super popular in Germany and France for some reason.

"Leaaaadeeeeeer-saaaaaaaaan~ can we go pretty pleeeeaaaaseeee," I beg almost while putting my hands into paws for effect while Pein only stares at me and it seems everyone is grinning at the idea… well Deidara, Hidan and Kisame are along with my brother.

"Fine… but we stay in small groups, each group will have two of my members," he says while taking his chin off of his palm before standing up and leaving for the kitchen, "it's almost eleven so you all have an hour to get ready," he calls back to everyone as I squeal again and jump to my feet, I have a super cool maid outfit I can wear and maybe some neko ears and tail to go with! I can get Kahlan and Konan to wear the matching ones as well!

"Kahlan, Konan! Let's match!" I say with a grin as Kahlan puts down her laptop and I take Konan's hand as she stands up, I made three of the outfits so when I grow up more I'll still fit one so I think they should think them.

"Okay," Konan says with a smile as Kahlan only seems to nod at the idea, I grin super happy to them both before grabbing their hands and softly pulling them to my room where I look through my outfits before pulling my maid outfit out before pulling out my other larger size of the other but… where is the largest size.

I pout a little while looking to Konan, "I can't find my third one," I say with a pout as she gives me a tiny smile before petting my head which results in my pouting, I do not like being petted.

"It's fine, I can just wear the Kimono you made me," she says with her smile as my eyes light up and I nod, that will look AWESOME!

I turn my outfit while rubbing my hands together, this should be fun. It's a very thin white dress with a red ribbon on the collar of it and puffy short sleeves, a slightly thicker black dress over it while the black dress fits under your breast which looks AWESOME! It also has a white apron round the waist and the dresses just end mid-thigh, also it needs knee length socks and you can wear any shoes you want with it!

I am soo wearing this~ its sooooo cute~!

I grin softly as I see Konan closing the bedroom door, locks it just in case before changing out of her clothes and into the kimono which she pulls out of her cloak which is on the back of the door… coolio!

Her cloak looks so big… on me as well… whoa~ even Jerry the ghost wouldn't fit that!

I grin to the two before changing into the Cosplay maid and find my fluffy cat ears and tail to attack to my apron and Alice band. I pull on some stripy black and white socks and put black conversers on while spinning in my spot.

Awesome-ness!

"Kahlan!" I yell happily while glomping her as she's changing, I feel sooooo awesome!

"You look very cute," she says with a smile as I grin back, I am ready!

"I'll get my bag and wallet then I'm good to go~" I say with a huge smile before grabbing a small leather backpack before putting it onto my bag, now. I. Am. Officially. AWESOME!

"Okay, I'll go see if everyone is ready," Konan says in her kimono before opening the door and walking out of it to the living room. I cannot wait~!

I grin a toothy grin to Kahlan before running out after Konan and into the living room, "I am ready~" I call while feeling someone tap my shoulder, okay who is it?

"Laaauraaaa," I hear my brother groan which makes me turn around and let out the highest 'Kyaaa' I have ever let out… he's a zombie!

"KYAAA! Get away from me!" I yell before hiding behind Pein for the fear of my life… my brother's eyes is falling out though it looks kinder real and fake at the same time… his arm has a huge chuck of flesh out of it along with his stomach and back… that's creepy! I can see his brains!"

"What the fuck are you fucking supposed to be?" Hidan yells / asks while giving my brother a 'what-the-hell' look as my brother grins to him, part of his lower lip missing.

"I'm a zombie / a living corpse," John says with his smile / smirk before looking over at me while I cower a little behind Pein, when in fear, hide behind leader.

"Cool, yeah," Deidara says with a grin as I see Deidara and most of the Akatsuki members in their Akatsuki cloaks. Hidan has no shirt on but is wearing his ninja shoes and trousers, Deidara is wearing the same as Hidan and his tattoo thingy on his chest is showing. Konan is wearing her kimono and Sasuke is just wearing a black dress shirt which he has decided to leave open for now along with black dress trousers and black shoes… Sasuke much love the colour black, Itachi is wearing a bright white dress shirt, black tie and black trousers.

My dad is wearing a red Hawaiian shirt and black shorts like he is on holiday, my mum is wearing white overalls with paint all over them along with a black shirt with no paint on it for once.

Dr. Ward and Mr. Ward don't look like they are going.

"We will stay here to look after the house for the evening," Dr. Ward says with a smile to everyone as Pein nods and turns to everyone.

"It seems we're all ready," Pein says while looking to everyone, he is also wearing his cloak and normal stuff.

"Kakuzu… you have a 'pay for picture' sign you know?" I say while staring at the sign he has made… very well by that. For a one on one picture its $40 and a group picture is $160… whoa.

"I know."

"As I was saying," Pein says while I walk over to Kahlan and grin, WE MATCH! "The groups will be: Kahlan, Laura, Itachi, Deidara and Sasuke. Konan and I, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Kakuzu, Hidan, Tobi and John. Kisame, Zetsu and Sasori."

So those are the groups… okay~!"

"Kahlan is my partner~ Sasuke shall be my helper / my ride for piggy backs if Deidara doesn't give me one and Itachi can be Kahlan's helper~ Deidara can be my helper for hugs~" I say with a grin before taking the card off the table and run out the door, "I know the way~! Follow me!" I yell while leading the way out the door before anyone can make any comments about my dress and Kahlan's… Kahlan seems to still be blushing for some reason… but hey she is wearing big steel toe boots under the dress so that's good.

"How long is this walk," Sasuke asks from right beside me as I quickly use him as a piggy back ride, I'm blushing a little as I am wearing a kinder small dress but I got short-shorts under this so I'm good.

"About fifteen minutes," I say while pointing at all the directions we need to go as he leads the way with me, using him as a ride~ I am happy now~!
