Recovery

I got up, and sat up. I placed my feet off the couch, and put a hand to my head. I held a mug of warm tea, and found myself in Itachi's room. He must've taken care of me.....I thought. From my state, I had been out for a few days. I got up, and made my way out of Itachi's room. I felt much better, and not ill at all. I made my way down to Tobi's room.

When I entered, I found the room was empty, like Itachi's. I pulled back the curtain, and found a small box on my cot. I opened it, revealing new clothing, not unlike the typical clothing style of Naruto. I stripped down, and placed the clothes on me. I felt snug in the new outfit. I was wearing a black tank top, with a net, crop top tee shirt over it. I had black, skin tight pants, and wore black gloves, that reached my elbows. A black dickie went around my neck, and doubled as a hood.

I barely recognized myself, but......I really had needed a change of clothes. I picked up my old ones, tears here and there, a faded material. I had only had them washed once, since being here. I picked them up, and carried them from Tobi's room. When I exited, I came face to face with Tobi.
  "Oh, hello Tob-" "Ah! Intruder!" Tobi screamed, and he ran off. I was confused. I then continue to the washer, and tossed my clothes in.

I turned, and went back through the base. When I reached the hall, where Tobi's room was, I was stopped by Sasori, and Deidra, with Tobi hiding behind Deidra.
  "Hey guys, what's up?" I asked. Sasori looked at me, expressionless, Deidra had his hands in front of his face, and Tobi was cowering behind him, like a shy child.
  "Tobi, that's no intruder! That's Jay, you idiot," Deidra explained, hiding his mouth and nose, with one hand.
  "Oh......The way Jay-chan dressed, confused Tobi, so Tobi thought Jay-chan was a stranger....." Tobi explained. I smiled.
  "Is the way Jay-chan dressed making Deidra-Senpai hold his hand over his face?" Tobi asked Deidra. I saw something drip from his chin, it was red.

  "Are you hurt?!" I raced over to him, and forced his hand away from his face. He had a blood falling from his nose. I sighed.
  "Come on, you must've hit it or something," I said, gently grabbing his wrist, like a child. I used most of my strength, to pull him, and I could tell he wasn't moving on purpose.

Deidra's view................

She thinks I hurt myself? I'm a little glad about that but......she's so hot! She was cute before but...wow......He thought as she dragged him along. They reached the kitchen, and she made him sit down. Jay got a little cotton ball, and told him to put it in the bleeding side of his nose. He did, and Jay sat in the chair, next to him, at the table.

  "So, how'd you hurt your nose?" She asked. I slightly panicked. Tell her the truth....or lie? He thought. He knew she sort of liked him, but if he was going to keep her from Tobi, he had to know this stuff, and what to do.
  "I didn't," he said. She looked at him, confused.
  "I didn't hurt myself, I had a nosebleed, from how hot you look," he said. I sounded so desperate! He instantly thought. He saw a blush creep up on Jay's face, and she hid her face with her hair.
  "O-oh, sorry for that....and thank you," she said.

Deidra took the idiotic cotton ball out of his nose, and cleaned up his face a little. He stood up in front of Jay, towering over her.
  "You're silly, you know that? Shouldn't you be resting?" He asked her. She shook her head.
  "I'm fine now," she replied. He put the back of his hand to her head, and she felt normal. Deidra sighed.
   "It seems you are, but, to put Itachi at ease, you should go back to bed," he said. She nodded, and got up. He went to walk with her, but.....stopped myself, when he caught a glimpse of her face. It showed pure emotion, nothing that he's ever seen, in the Akatsuki before.

Jay's view....................

I made my way back to Itachi's room. When I was about to enter, the door opened, and I saw Itachi. He looked at me angrily, and then...then he hugged me.
  "You.....worried me," he said. I felt myself turn red.
  "I-I'm all better now," I managed. He pulled away, and put his hands on my shoulders.
  "Your face is red, maybe you're still sick....." He said. He put his hand to my head, and looked at me, concerned.
  "You're fine...so, you must be blushing. What happened?" He asked.
  "Deidra's nose was bleeding, and I helped him. Apparently I gave him a 'nosebleed'," I explained, smiling nervously. Itachi looked deadly.
  "As long as nothing bad happened to you, I'm fine with it," he said.

The way he spoke to me, and the way he took care of me......it was like I was his baby sister or something. I was conflicted, Should I say something? Should I just leave it alone? I asked myself.
  "Itachi....." I began. He looked at me.
  "Yes, I do," he said, turning away. He knew what I was going to ask?! He truly is amazing, I thought. I smiled, and headed to Tobi's room. Once there, I gathered dirty clothing, and went off to do the same, with the other rooms.

Once I was finished with that, I began to clean the house. I finished late in the day, when I cook dinner. I left before everyone got to the table, so they could serve themselves. When I reached Tobi's room, I saw he wasn't there. I decided to take a shower, for once, since I arrived.
