Episode 15-> My dirty little blonde and red-headed secret... revealed! (-_-) Already...!

I polished off the last of my breakfast and Akamaru was my tablemate as he swallowed his down. With a refreshed sigh, I pushed away my plate and patted my gut. "I need to pay a visit to my mum's people at the catering company sometime! Maybe they will finally tell me the secret of how they always sneak fresh food everyday in my machine without being seen. Those people are ninjas! Don't you think Akamaru? I think so." I said looking at Akamaru and he licked some gravy from his furry lip before he barked in response. I smiled at him and petted his head. My heart went heavy as I thought about my dog, Spotty. I missed him. I smiled ruefully, gathered my plate, and tossed it in the sink. I started packing the food and placed everything in a picnic basket-even the extra plates. Everything was packed! I left Akamaru and went out the kitchen. I heard the shower beside the staircase still running and glanced at the door. I had used the shower yesterday after those ninjidiots chased me around. Heh. Bygones are bygones; at least I have sexy ninjas keeping me company. I climbed up the stairs and saw Kiba at the top dressed in my brother's clothes. Choji was there. And Hinata, now dressed in one of my Capri shorts and a tank top was there too.

"She said we can go train!" I heard Kiba tell his friends ecstatically.

"Hey you all, I packed a basket for you. So when we get there you can eat your breakfast and train. Head down and I'll be there in a bit. Hey Hinata, I'm glad you're awake again! You look nice."

She blushed. Yeah I know it wasn't from the compliment. A sly look crossed my face. I know I didn't see anything of Naruto's... I wonder what she saw.

"Hinata saw the glory!" I laughed and said aloud the minute it popped in my head and I blushed regretting it. "I got to go." I inched around them and slipped into my room. I headed to my bathroom that was now Kiba free for some towels.

"KIYAH!" I screamed pointing at the weird, hot stranger in my bathroom. "HOBO IN MY BATHTUB!"

He waved his hands defensively. "No, no! I am not a hobo! It's me, Shino!"

"..." I stared at the male in astonishment. S-S-Shi-Shino? Flipping Shino. Shino Aburame? That Shino...? He was Shino? Him? Shino... really? "YOU'RE NOT WEARING YOUR GOGGLES!" I yelled smiling and pointed at him again.

"I'm not wearing much of anything really..." He muttered readjusting the towel around his waist.

"Oh my god you are sexy silky, Shino!" I said grinning big, using every ounce of willpower not to glance down to where that towel was draped around his midsection.

"Sexy... silky...?"

"Yes sexy silky!" I walked out of the room on that and he seemed a little unsure. He was about to turn and do something *shrug* and I busted back into the bathroom -my bathroom- and a flash went off.

Shino froze, stunned and I just waltzed out. I was so going to leak this photo onto the internet for Shino fans. Dude was smokin' hot! I was right; he is one of those people who wear overbearing and obscuring clothing so he isn't mauled by fan-girls. I stopped walking entirely when it really hit me: I effen saw Shino's real face. I'm gansta like that mussy.

I cleared my throat and swallowed my shyness. "OK SEXY GUYS AND MY TWIN HINATA AND AKAMARU BE READY IN TEN MINUTES!"

Ten minutes later... =_=

We, meaning Hinata, Teddy-bear, Firefly (aka Shino), Kibs, Akamaru and I were all ready and downstairs. Whereas a certain blonde-haired person was still in the d@mn showers! Choji and Hinata were just as dirty as he was why was he taking this long. I wonder if he fell down and knocked himself out in there.

I groaned angrily, stood up, and stomped out of the living room and into the hall beside the staircase. I stopped at the only visible door and knocked on it repeatedly.

"What is taking you so godda- so effen long!!!" I pounded on the door with both fists.

"Open up, open up, open up! OPEN UP!" I heard a door swing open but it wasn't the door I was pounding on. I glanced to my right at the wall at the end of the hall and there stood Sasori in a doorway. I stared at him with some incredulous emotion I don't have time to pinpoint it. My pounding slowed considerably. So... that's where they were. There is an old room down this hall that we don't use anymore. It's usually hidden because the door is cut into the wall so when it's closed it looks like well a wall. Cannot underestimate the Akatsuki, they know how to hide in plain sight. Sasori stared back at me and I stared back at him.

I opened my mouth but nothing coherent was surfacing. Therefore, I shook my head disapprovingly and pointed a sharp finger toward the doorway entrance. Go back inside that room; go back in before I smack you! Sasori gave me a weird look, marched back into the room, and slammed the door. On the outside, you would never guess there was even a door there or that a puppet master was just standing in front of it.

Suddenly the door I had been pounding on opened. I blinked and I saw Deidara walk out. Holy hell.

"Dude. Get your long-haired blonde-ass back inside that room and don't come out until I get back!" I hissed quietly and he glared at me.

"Little girl who do you think you are talking to un!" He hissed back.

"Little girl! You only have four years on me!! Two years on my brother Leon and you calling me a little girl?! Boy if you don't get your anime ass in that room before you get caught so help me!"

He rolled his eyes and walked away but no, not without flopping his wet hair in my face. I gasped startled and damp in the face. Why that guy! Ough!

"Then where the hell is Naruto?!" I hissed while drying my face with my forearm. I wasn't going to come to any rash conclusion so I won't march into the Akatsuki hangout and beat them senseless so let me look around the house. Something drew me to my room. My face went blank in disbelief when I got inside.

"Naruto... Why in the world are you stuck inside my machine?"

"Just help me out and ask questions later!"

"Kiba, Choji, Shino! I need manpower!!" I yelled over my shoulder then I looked at Naruto with hardness and I folded my arms over my chest.

I really can't leave these guys unattended.

--------------------------------------

"Yet I'm leaving them unsupervised yet again. What am I; an idiot or something?" I mumbled walking right back down the footpath. I dropped everyone off at the little clearing in the bush, aka what Americans call the 'woods', that is just a five-minute walk away from my house and well hidden in the pine tree. [If you walked, a bit more you will find the beach!] Not that I didn't enjoy their company, it was just I had to take care of the Akatsuki just as much as I have been taking care of Naruto and the gang. I had to check on them. I feel like a regular, old mother hen! I mean seriously am I an idiot, I said myself that I should never leave them unattended yet here I am walking away and doing just that. I need help I swear.

"Uh... I forgot the towels! Yeah! I'll be back! Don't go wondering!"

I jogged the walk out and arrived back at the house in no time. I threw the door open and I looked up sharply as I heard a gun cock.

I froze for two seconds, staring through the barrel of the gun and I realised, it was a toy. My startled face turned into a glaring murder and flames face. Deidara lowered the Nerf gun- my brother's- and his eye twinkled. "Hey, hn."

"Bye hn!" I mocked and crossed my arms. "And just suppose I wasn't alone and someone was with me! They would have seen you!"

"Uh... don't care." Deidara replied cheekily and I huffed.

"Insolent brat." I muttered under my breath as I walked away and up the stairs yet again to my fabulous room.

"Where you going?"

"To get you annoying people your breakfasts!"

"I don't eat." I heard Sasori's voice ring out.

"Oh okay." I called back. What I really wanted to say was "I can't believe you're making me waste food!" I just got Deidara some food and a bar of milk chocolate for me. I went back down munching on the blissful sweet with a plate with Deidara's name on it.

"Here'go" I said dropping it in his lap. His stomach growled on the spot.

"Thanks for the food, hm." He said genuinely grateful.

"Welcomes!"

I was busy watching Deidara eating when Sasori came into the living room. "When are you planning on revealing that we're here? I refuse to live in hiding in this house."

"Sasori it ain't happenin'-"

"Natalya-" A familiar voice chimed and I turned to the door with big blue eyes. Deidara looked at the girl standing there in mild interest pausing in his eating.

"Natty..." Naomi, my eldest female cousin, said carefully, "Why are there men in your house while your parents are away?"

I face-palmed. Caught already, and not even by whom I expected. I turned to her and smiled with my eyes closed, obvious sign that the smile wasn't reaching them. "H-hey cousin what's a buzzing." Heh heh yeah I know, lamest ting I have ever said.

She gave me a disapproving glare and I shrunk. Naomi was a sweetheart but you never wanted to get the stink eye. You just do not want that! T_T
