Chapter Six: Unpleasant Challenge

**A/N: Hey!~ Yea, it's Tuesday night, but I have a busy day tomorrow so I thought the best time to upload would be the night before instead of really late on Wednesday. That shouldn't bother you at all though! Enjoy!~**

         I awoke to the sound of laughter echoing through the halls. Tobi was screaming about something excitedly and Deidara was yelling back in frustration while Hidan was the one cackling like a madman. Objects crashed from one side of the hall to the next as they continued their argument, Deidara screeching when a loud crash came apparently too close. Hidan cackled again and Tobi now whined, trying to calm the two down. Deidara just yelled at Tobi and then I heard him charge Hidan while mini explosions erupted.

         Realizing I had slept in longer than I intended I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling, the dim light bouncing off the stone above. I could tell by the amount of light coming through my window that it wasn't very early, though it was close enough to dawn that I began to wonder what the commotion in the hall was about. This was before the usual time for those three to be squabbling. I decided to get up, get dressed and go investigate.

         As I sat up in my bed I ran my fingers over my lips before sliding out of the covers. 'Had last night really happened? Had Kisame and I really kissed, and kissed so deeply we were close to tearing each other's clothes off? Had last night sparked something? A fire, perhaps?' I could still feel him; the taste of his tongue in my mouth, his hand on my chin and the back of my head, pulling me closer, the feel of his muscular chest and his hot breath against my skin. It had to be real and not a dream; my dreams are never that vivid.

         Smiling like a fool I stood and wandered over to my dresser, hardly noticing the sounds out in the hall grow closer. Absentmindedly I pulled some clothes out of the drawers and then my closet, tossing them onto my bed; an outfit forming. I stripped off my nightgown, tossing it into my laundry basket and began to dress for the day. In my dream state, I had pulled out a matching bra and panties set in my favourite colour, their design a little too flashy for a day of relaxation but I barely noticed at first. There were a pair of comfortable Capri's and a tank top along with a light vest and scarf to which I slipped on happily. Lastly, I pulled on my barefoot sandals; the usual footwear.

         Hair brushed and styled, makeup finished and deodorant on I then picked up my laundry basket and headed to my door. There was a loud crash against it, a cracking sound, and I hesitated, listening to the scuffle going on in the hall. Another bang against my door before I heard Hidan yell a curse and Deidara respond with a mocking laugh. Tobi cried for them to watch what they were doing, to not to be so rough near my door, but of course, they didn't listen to his plea. Instead, there came a purposeful bang against my door to which Hidan laughed loudly at and I heard Deidara chuckle. Not long after though the two were back at it, running down the halls, an explosion followed by more cursing.

         A soft knock came at my door now and I heard Tobi's voice ask if I was awake yet. Opening the door I smiled at the orange masked man and lifted my basket up to rest on my hip. Tobi pretended to wipe sweat from his brow with a heavily exaggerated sigh before waving gleefully.

         "___, Hidan and Deidara-Senpai almost knocked your door down." Tobi looked at the hinges and the crack running down my door, a single finger pressed thoughtfully to his mask where his lips would be. I sighed in exasperation before shrugging.

         "Well, if that was their plan, to knock my door down, then they failed, didn't they?" I winked at Tobi who swayed in childlike glee. He was apparently in a fine mood this morning despite the quarrel. "Tobi, what started the argument this time?" I began walking and Tobi followed me.
