# 8. My New Room mate

Obito

I came to where I told Pein that we'll meet. But as I got there, I felt absolutely clueless. Pein was sitting on a rock with a dead-serious expression on his face, Deidara was sulking in a corner for God-knows-what, and Akiera, she was rolling on the floor laughing like a hyena high on weed. What the hell happened here?

I coughed, catching their attention. Akiera's laughter seized.
"What did I miss?" I asked them.
"Nothing much. Just the look on their faces." she said, wiping the tears that formed in the corner of her eyes.

"..Ooo....kay.. "

"So what now?"

"Now. We go home."

"Home???"

"To our stations M'lady."

"huh....?"

All three of them gave me weird looks. Its a name I used to call Akiera with when she was a kid, but offcourse Pein and Deidara doesn't know it. Akiera seem a little taken aback though. I guess she still doesn't remember me.

"Shall we?" I look at Pein.

"Yes. Offcourse." he said taking out the dimensional teleportation scroll.
Perfect.

Akiera

M'lady? Why did he call me that out of nowhere? And where have I heard it before? It sounds so familiar when he says it. Do I know this guy from somewhere before. He has been giving me strange vibes since we met.

Wait. Sensei called him Obito san. But he said his name is Tobi. Was that a code name too? Obito? Even the name sounds familiar. Who is this guy? Have we met before this day?
Urgh... Why can't I just remember? I never forget anything.

"Shall we?" he said.

"Offcourse." Pein replies taking out a scroll from his pocket. An inter-dimensional teleportation scroll.

So we are going back. To our stations? Oh right! The academy. We gotta act like college kids. Wouldn't that be a little strange with Tobi's mask and Pein's piercings. How does these guys blend in with civilians?

"Ok. We are going to perform this jutsu that will take us back to the real world. Its similar to the reverse-summoning jutsu. Have you ever done this before Akiera san? " Pein asked.

"Yes I have. "

"Alright then. On the count of three..... One."

We bit our thumbs to get some blood and did the handsigns. Actually only me and Deidara did this. Pein neither got blood nor the handsigns and To-Obito just did the handsigns.

"Two."

We took our positions on the four sides of the scroll.

"Three... "

We slamed aur palms on the scroll to complete the justu.

We were taken to what I can say is a living room of someone's apartment. It was night time now as I saw from the huge glass window. I looked at the wallclock, it showed 11 p.m.

"Its pretty late. We should go and get some rest." Pein said, "Akiera san. Konan will come in the morning to take you to the Academy. We will be going now."

"Okay." I said. Pein and Deidara left. I turn to To-Obito. "Uhmm...!! " Well. This is awkward. Is he my room-mate or something?

"Come. I will show you to your room." He said turning around and walking to somewhere.

That answers my question. I followed him. He showed me the bathroom, terrace and two rooms opposite to each other.

"This here..." he points his thumb to the door behind him, "...is my room."

Then, he opens the opposite door, stepping inside and turning on the lights. "... And, this is your room. Your bags are here already. I'll answer  the rest of your questions in the morning, or whenever I see fit. Make yourself comfortable. Call me if you need anything. Good night." and then he leaves.

Well, that's brief. I guess he isn't a man of many words. Or maybe he's just tired. I know I am.
I looked around the room and found my bags near the dresser. Other than that, there was a queen size bed, a study table & a chair, a night-stand and a body-size mirror in the room. Simple yet comfortable. I sat on the bed, it was very soft and cozy, just like the one back at home. Light blue bed sheets and pillow covers. The blankets were a shade darker. In fact, from what I noticed, the whole room was kinda like my old one at home, but not completely. This makes me home sick.

I got my night clothes out from my bag. I decided to arrange them tomorrow. I also saw some books on the study table. Must be for the Academy. I went to take a shower. I saw that the lights in Obito's room were still on, but decided not to disturb him. I went quietly to the washroom and got a quick shower. As I changed into my night clothes and stepped out of the washroom, I was hit by a delicious smell. I walked towards the dining table and saw that the dinner was served, but just one plate. What about Obito, has he already eaten? I took the note beside it and read it.

'M'lady,
I hope you like it. I have already eaten.
Bon appetite.

P. S. I'm not a good cook. But I tried...
                                                      
Tobi'

Oh! So sweet.

I ate my dinner. It was as delicious as it smelled.

"Not a good cook, huh? " I smirked, enjoying the last spoonful.

I washed the dishes and kept them on the kitchen counter. I took the note pad from the coffee table and a pen, scribbled down something on it, and kept it on the dining table.

I smiled thinking about what he did. That was the best chicken gravy and boiled rice I have ever had. Reminds me of dad's cooking. But how does Obito knows that I like this dish.

Lucky guess maybe.
I shrugged.

And what's with this M'lady thing? And why do I feel butterflies everytime he calls me that? I can faintly remember someone calling me that. But who?

Urgh... I'll think about it tomorrow, too tired. And so I went to my room. I feel asleep as soon as I hit the bed.

Good night.
