Upside Down, Backwards, and Twisted (Naruto Story)

The third day at the hot spring was completely boring. Let's just say I did nothing that day. All I did was wake up, eat, watch TV, eat, take a nap, eat, and then I spelt again till morning. So you can say that I was ready to go when Itachi shook me awake.

"Akako we have three minutes before we leave." Itachi said, while nudging me with his foot.

I snapped awake, "Three minutes!" I gasped, and jumped into the air. Rushing to the bathroom I shouted over my shoulder, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner!"

"You wouldn't wake up." Itachi said nonchalantly

"Damn you Itachi!" I growled, running back out of the bathroom with my brush in hand. Because I was a ninja, I did manage to get ready in the short time I was given.

"Akako we're leaving. Are you ready?" Kisame asked. I rushed around the corner and to the door of the room. When I stepped out in the hall, all the Akatsuki members were there waiting.

"I'm ready." I huffed.

"Good we have a half day travel to get to our clothing place." Kakazu muttered.

"So you guys actually have a place where you get these cloaks from?" I asked.

"Yes. I set up a deal with the owner." Kakazu answered.

"Why did the guy agree to giving you guys clothes?' I asked.

"He wanted to keep his head." Kakazu replied in a tone that said 'no more questions'.

"That's pleasant." I sighed, and continued to walk. Soon we were on the road again. I was looking up at the sky, just enjoying the open sky. It still hasn't been that long since I've been out of the war prisons. It has been about three weeks, and I've enjoyed most of it.

"What does Akako have in her bag?" Tobi asked, popping over my shoulder.

"Why do you ask?" I shrugged him off.

"Because it's fuller than it was when we came here." Deidara explained.

"Yes Akako what is in there?" Kakazu asked.

"It's not money. I can assure you of that." I replied.

"Come on Akako. Tell Tobi." Tobi begged.

"Are you guys really that bored that you want to snoop through my bag?" I questioned.

"Yes." Hidan answered without even pausing.

"Here just look." I sighed, tossing my bag to Tobi.

Tobi reached out and caught it. "The bag is lighter than Tobi thought it would be." Unbuttoning the top, Tobi reached his glove hand into it.

"Come on Tobi what is it?" Deidara snapped.

Tobi pulled out his hand, "Flowers?"

"Aren't they pretty?" I gushed, grabbing a petal that was falling towards the ground.

"You have flowers in your bag?" Hidan questioned, "What the hell?"

"I found them at the hot spring, and there was tons of them." I explained.

"Why do you need flowers?" Deidara asked.

"You guys haven't forgotten yet, have you?" I sighed. At their blank looked I rolled my eyes, and threw the flower petal back into the air, "I fight with flowers." And with that I caught, and flung the petal at a tree. From there it dug into the trunk, and then shot through the complete tree, embedding in the one behind it.

"You mean you use real flowers?" Kisame gaped.

"What else would I use?" I scoffed.

"So Sasori actually got owned by flowers!?" Deidara burst out laughing.

"Well yeah. What else would I use?" I questioned.

"Anything, but real flowers." Kisame joined in on laughing.

"Sasori-san got beat by flowers!" Tobi giggled while he pointed and laughed at Sasori.

"All of you just shut up before I turn you into puppets!" Sasori growled, turning away from all of us.

"Sorry Sasori." I apologized. All Sasori did was grunt at me. "Fine then be that way." I crossed my arms over my chest.

No one had anything to say after that, so all I did was walk and absorbed my surroundings. Surprisingly, I knew the path we were taking, and it brought a smile to my face. If we continued this direction I'd be back. "Kakazu how much farther east are we going?" I asked.

"We'll be passing through a small village soon, and then we'll turn to the north and finish our trip in a larger village." Kakazu explained.
