Chapter 29 - Tobi

Chapter 29 – Tobi

I opened my eyes; my blurry vision didn’t take long to restore. My surrounding was dim; I wasn’t in my bedroom anymore. The back of my head knocked against the floor as I barely tried to lift it. My headache and my half-paralyzed body must be the side effects after awakening from fainting.

“Oh my gosh, that orange masked phantom…” Remembering him just made me scared again.

Fainting from fright shouldn’t last more than a couple of minutes; how did I manage to be at a place like this in such a short amount of time? Surely he must have carried me here..

“You are awake!” A squeaky voice called

With dizziness and some difficulties, I turned my head to see the voice’s origin. You got to be kidding me, he’s here! Being still weak, I couldn’t get up and run away.

The man ran and crouched beside me; he then held his knees with one arm while poking my cheeks with his finger. His ring carved with a 玉 flashed in front of me. I just realized this individual is wearing an Akatsuki cloak.

“Hey, missie! Are you dead???” He’s still poking me. My eyes are half closed, maybe that’s why.

“Umm… Stop poking me…”

“Ahh! You are awake! Yay!” The orange masked man shouted with bliss. His voice sounded extremely immature.

“What’s with this guy…” I thought. I casted a glimpse at his face; his eyes were well hidden behind that mask. And the thing itself has a spiral pattern. Come to think about it, this guy was fully covered from head to toe; he even wore gloves...

“Where am I…” I asked

“In one of our awesome and mysterious and cozy hideouts!”

“Are you a part of the Akatsuki?” I asked while still lying on the ground

“Oooh yeah! I just became their newest member! Sasori-senpai went to Heaven, and I’m here to replace him!” He said while trying to pose like a model in his cloak.

Sasori? I just remembered the Akatsuki member whom Yamato and his partner fought last time.

I sat up, my body could move a little bit more now.

“Waaah! Don’t try to move so much!” The man panicked and held my shoulders to support me

This place was like a cave; a few pillars supported the ceiling. Some wooden barrels and boxes are pilled against the walls. The dim light enveloping the mystery man and me was from a candle. And… I just realized I was wearing nothing but my sleeping robe…

“You… what were you doing in my bedroom in the middle of the night!” I demanded with great annoyance

“Eeek! Scary!” The man jumped back, I almost fell again without his support.

“Um-hum!” He cleared his throat. “My name is Tobi, you are Hisako right??”

“How did you know my name? And answer my last question!”

“Hmm, well you see..” He starts to sweat. “For now I won’t tell you!”

“???!!!!” I squinted my eyes in irritation

“Hisako-chan~ I will be leaving for now, but someone else will keep you company <3” Tobi blew a flying kiss. His entire body distorted in a swirling motion and disappeared into the hole of his mask.

“……………………..”

The cave became silent.

“Hm, that bastard Tobi, telling me to guard some prisoner; can’t he do it himself?! Next time I will blast him off!” A new voice echoed from the darkness; someone was approaching!

I grew vigilant and stood up abruptly. It’s been barely ten minutes since I woke up, my brain was still deprived of oxygen; I kneed down with my palms pressing against the ground. Damn it, who could it be now?

“Huh? It’s you!” Footsteps came to a halt

I looked up; a surprised looking Deidara stood in front of me.
