Another Akatsuki Love Story

Chapter 7: Confession?!

Tobi: NarutoxHinata does not own any of us, except for the OC 

Itachi: You know, I never really understood why NarutoxHinata bothers to make these pointless converstions in the beginning of the story. 

Hidan: F**k you Itachi, unlike you, many of us didn't get much screen time in Naruto Shippuden, I'm f**king stuck in the ground right now in the series 

NarutoxHinata: There you have it, the reason I make these pointless conversations

Chapter 7: Confession?!

Seriously, I feel so bad for all those servants out there in the world, I finally know how they feel

Sitting here, washing Konan's clothes is just such an honor, I mean really, it feels like she gave me a year's supply of laundry or something?

I sat and scrubbed and my hands ached, silently cursing the kunoichi for this morning's conversation

"What's all this?" I had asked

"Oh, they're clothes, for washing of course" She said, with a cold smile on her face

And not only that, but I was given most of the members robes to wash off and well, and to tell you the truth, Kisame's smelled like sea water.

This is just the worse punishment I have yet to receive, and I don't even know what they want from me, I mean sure I understand that Pain's busy all the time but geez, just get on with whatever they wanted me here for. 

After I finished scrubbing, for what seemed like hours, I left all the robes in Konan's room as she 'ordered' me to. 

I might've found my sword there, but the room was just as barren as the others that I highly doubt she would've stored it in her room. 

"Toby is a good boy" 

I almost choked on my glass of water, startled, I gave a sigh of relief as I saw Tobi, the Akatsuki clown in the kitchen, at least he didn't make me wash tons of clothes, or kidnap me or order me around 

Although, I kinda wonder why he has that mask on all the time, its kinda weird.

"You look tired" He said happily as he dug around the kitchen for dango 

"Yeah, I had some work to do" I said, gulping down the water in three sips 

"Tobi never has work to do" 

"Well then, you're lucky that you're not some prisoner captured here" I muttered

"Can Yuki use the Sharingan?" He asked, I was touched, finally someone called me by my name, it made me feel a lot better, I was beginning to think that 'Uchiha girl' was going to be my name for ever 

"Not really, I'm really terrible at using it" I shook my head 

"Then maybe Itachi-san can teach you?" 

"Maybe..." I said, blushing a little, the memory of him from yesterday was still fresh in my mind "oh yeah, and thanks for calling me by my name, its nice to see that some people haven't forgotten it" 

I think he smiled, because I really couldn't see through his mask 

"Haha, Yuki's funny!" He said, suddenly glomping me into a hug Funny? 

"Um....yeah" I said, as he let go and wandered off He's weird 

And again Konan pounced upon me for not putting the clothes in a proper place.

Who cares? I mean if this was my home, sure I'd be mad at myself for throwing clothes in random places, but is this my home?

No

I just solemnly waved her off, I didn't need her b**chy self to make me mad again, but she didn't let me off the hook all that easily

Apparently, since I'm the so called maid of this place, I should also scrub the kitchen. 

Unbelievable. And also crazy. 

So there I sat scrubbing the floor like Cinderella, and Konan as the evil stepsister made me scrub it till it sparkled. 

"Dammit!" 

It sounded like a cry, I looked around and saw Deidara sitting in his usual place, pouting, it didn't seem like he noticed me though, he was just staring into space, his head resting on his fist, he looked flustered in a way. 

I also noticed he was just in pants and completely shirtless. A mug of coffee sat on the table in front of him, he didn't seem to notice it going cold, he still had his hair sticking out, like he just woke up

"Um.....Deidara?" I asked 

He looked absolutely startled, and flustered again at the same time, am I seeing things or was he blushing? 

"Didn't know you were here, un" He muttered

"Yeah" I said, raising the scrub to show him "I'm on scrubbing duty" 

"Mm" He replied, staring at his cold mug of coffee as I continued scrubbing

"Need any help?" He asked in a gruff voice, I looked up at him in confusion, why would he offer me help anyways? 

"What?" He looked annoyed 

"Nothing" I said "no thanks, I can finish this off myself"

I could feel his gaze on me, it made me feel uncomfortable and weird 

"Can I tell you something?" He asked finally after he stopped his staring 

"Uh, sure" I said, flinging the scrub into the bucket to listen to him 

"Well......" He thumbed his cup with his fingers and glanced sideways "I think I might...just might, be in love with you" 

I think I'm deaf, because I just heard Deidara confess to me. 

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked in disbelief

"Don't make me say it again dammit" He said, ticked off 

No, I'm sure of it, he confessed to me. ME, the girl who has never in her life been confessed to, who guys don't notice, the girl who creeps everyone out with her red hair. 

Thankfully, just then Hidan came bursting through the kitchen, yelling swear words at Deidara and something about clay, he dragged Dei on with him, I noticed Deidara staring at me the whole while, until I sat in silence there on the floor thinking this through.

I was thankful to Hidan because I had no idea how to respond to that, no way did I have any clue. I sat there in a long daze. 

I sat almost paralyzed on Sasori's bed, still thinking about Deidara, I had finished my day's chores and gone out to think about it, until I heard Sasori call my name a few times

"Yeah?" I finally said after the fifth time

"What's wrong with you?" He scowled 

"I've been thinking" I said finally not looking at him 

"You're doing a lot of thinking today" He muttered "what about?"

"Nothing important" 

"Tell, now" He said threateningly 

"It's not important" I said 

"It has something to do with Deidara?" 

"How'd you know?" I whipped around, staring at him sitting right next to me 

"That's not important" He said "did he confess?"
