Chapter 4: Package and Baths

3rd POV

The next day, Ayumi woke up early along with True. She stretched, and gently rubbed True's ears. "I see you're an early riser." She commented.

She had woken up to make breakfast for the girls and cats. For the girls she decided that they will have pancakes. For the kitties she took a piece of salmon, cut a piece out and put some Cod in it. She made a plate for every 2 cats, and a smaller, separate one for True.

By the time she finished, everyone had come and say down a the table, looking for the food

"Mornin'!" Ayumi shouted as she walked in with the blond and raven's plates. She set the down and grabbed the cat's plates two at a time as well.

After breakfast, the girls went to the living room, Kurayami threw herself on the crimson recliner. She picked up the paper, which Happy had brought in, and began reading it. She threw the comics at Ayumi. Earning a filthy look from her.

Momo was searching for something in a drawer. Charger and Boo watched her intently. Snickering every time she hurt herself and let out profanities. Ayumi munched happily on her pancakes, watching as Puzzle took no interest in anyone else, and decided to explore.

"Son of a b****! Ouch... Kuso*!" Momo cursed as she wrestled something out of the confinement of the drawer.

Kurayami chuckled as she took a liking to the show. "It's my favorite type of morning!" Kurayami's usually monotone voice had hit a pitch of excitement.

"Cover. Your. Ears. Ayumi." Momo growled. Ayumi giggled, and put a pair of noise canceling headphones on.

The red head continued eating her pancakes, and read some of the comics.

Before she could finish her Garfield, she realized Momo and Kurayami finished.

"And you... Can take that... To the bank, Akuma!" Momo said in between breaths.

"Bite me, Blondie." The Raven teased the blond.

"The poor little kitties are probably scarred by the things you said!" Ayumi scolded them. Knowing Momo, she would bite Kurayami.

"Biatches." Momo sneered and went back to unraveling the mass of vine like corrds. A sharp rap at the door brought the girls' attention from each other to the door.

Ayumi got up, her red hair following her bouncy steps. She opened the door to a large package.

Sasori's POV

The rapping at the door frightened me, which is a new experience. I should have dropped down on one of the brats' heads.

Flicking my tail in a very much annoyed manor, I lay across one of the wooden platforms. "Momo. Bring this package in for me!" The red haired brat called.

The blond one stood up, her hair whipped behind her. She lifted that damn box like it was nothing.

The blonde carried the box in without a single problem, besides nearly crushing Deidara. Which was not a concern to anyone. Except himself.

Leaping down from my view point, I walk right into a trap. One of the brats scoops me up and squeezes me like a rag doll. My struggling only seems to make it worse, and eventually she loosens her grip.

Claws extended, I scratch the b*****'s arm. She ends up dropping me, and I wander over to where Kakazu and Kisame sat.

Kurayami's POV

Watching Momo open that box slowly made me want to kick her. I know she's paranoid but honestly? She opened the package with strange, red and black cloaks inside. Charcoal on the outside, blood on the inside. With white trimmed red clouds around the outside.

"Hand me one." Momo said. neither Ayumi or I responded.

My punishment, I got hit in the face with a slipper from no where. "You," she pointed her finger at me with a gentle smile.

"Forgot to say please."

"Please, one fight is enough for our ears today, I have virgin ears." Ayumi pleaded, only to release she had already lost her case.

"You. Virgin ears? You were reading a yaoi doujinshi* the other day." I inquire.

"The hardcore kind." Momo's demonic grin on her face made Ayumi wish she never got up.

"I'm not a total perv! Unlike you!" The bickering began boring me, so I began to slip the,very comfortable I might add, cloak on.

Pein's POV

The raven woman slipped on the Akatsuki cloak. Why they are here, and where they came from I will never know. My head is still spinning around after the very brutal ride in that soggy compartment we ended up in.

"Makes you look fat."

"It hides your boobs, Double D." The Ayumi and Momo girl inquired. They seem like they have no idea who the Akatsuki are. Buts am positive they know something.

I just need to wait it out and figure out more facts.

Ayumi's POV

"Kura-Senpai, why don't you take that off. It might have drugs in it..." I ask Kurayami quietly. Momo still giggled with little comments about Kurayami being a druggy.

She shed it and threw it in the box. I sigh and refolded it.

"Cats need bathes, so does the dog." Kurayami turned on her heels elegantly, and walked off.

"Dog?...!" I turn around and duck down on to the floor, just to barely miss an incoming projectile.

"AKUMA!" Momo roared and charged head on for her. Her feet barely touched the wooden floor, as she seemed like she has teleported. This caught all the cats attention.

"Why? Why just... Why?" I repeat as the two try to best the other. I sit down and watch the very interesting match that happens almost every day.

Profanities flying with fists were left and right. The cats watched, but kept their distant from the two raging girls.

"Never... GONNA... WIN!" Momo roared as she broke out of Kurayami's headlock. Momo returned the favor by pinning the poor raven to the floor.

"Say it."

"Rather d-die!"

"Say it."

"NEVER!

The blond's grip tightened, the raven barely hanging to her dignity. The blonde moved in close, her voice dropped to a scary tone. "Say it." The tone echoed.

"YOU WIN! YOU'RE THE BEST AND ALL SHALL REMEMBER!" The raven collapsed with a sigh. I blink a few times.

"Are we done." Momo cracked her neck like she does when she's itching to fight. A grumble came from the body on my clean floor.

"I can't. Feel. My face."

"I'll get the first aid kit. Start the bath water." I sigh, and look over the blonde warrior.

"You really don't like taking people's jabs, do you?" She laughed and walked towards the master bathroom.

"Well, you're not dead..." I sigh, putting the last bandage on Kurayami's face.

"My pride. Dead. My dignity. Eaten alive. My honor. Crushed and burnt to ashes." Kurayami hung her head. Then light up, with a scary smile. Then frowned.

"Plotting?"

"Yes."

"Come, let's give the fuzz buckets a bath." I stand up and give the raven a hand.

"C'mon on, we have baths to take!!!" I yell down the hall. Kurayami close behind.

Momo's POV

" 'Bout time, did you have to mend the little raven's wounds." I purse my lips and mock in voice for talking to a baby.

"I will drown you, with only cats for witnesses Tsuyo-sa!" Akuma glared at me. I laugh harder.

"Momo, please go get some towels, and bring me some of the brushes from the guest bath in the East hall!" Ayumi tells me as I walk out of the room.

Picking up some towels and heading for the East hall, I hear a scream.

Dropping everything, I run over to the master bath. I slide in front of the door, catching myself, I roll in and spring up. "What happened!?" I question, my eyes revert from being serious to 'What?'

Ayumi sat there, covering her hands with her face, which turned three shades of red. Kurayami lay on the ground. Blood running from her nose, a deep blush set in across her face.

"Can we please get some towels, un?" A deep voice, with an embarrassed tone, sounded from the bathroom.

"That would be nice." Another deep voice called.

"F****** today?" Another voice called. The other cats look at me.

"I'll return in a moment."

Hi! Thanks for reading! It wasn't much of a Christmas chapter, but they got a 'gift'! Nothing much else to say...

Ja ne~

QofC: What would you do if you saw naked Akatsuki members?

Me: Run around the house yelling. "MY EYES!!! THEY BURN!!!" Then faint...

Kuso* means f*** in Japanese

doujinshi* is a manga that is usually made by amateurs and made by the person reading it
