The Supervisor will run the decisions after reviewing them and make them as laws. This event will commence in several days. I hope you're prepared for what's to come.
Chapter 1- Seven Days Alone
Seven days alone. What will I do? I lay on my bed contemplating. Hang out with friends? Go to the movies? Throw a huge party and invite that handsome Jacob over? Maybe.
"Nora! Come down here Nora!" my mother called for me.
I got off my bed with a whine, "I'm coming mom!"
Today is the greatest day of my teenage life. My parents and my siblings are going out on vacation to Florida. They decided to go to Walt Disney World and they insisted on taking me with them, but I refused hoping to get some time alone. Just for myself. After all, I have already been there several times with my friends and traveled through their entire virtual world. It always was a blast, but sometimes you find yourself a little too old to play cyber chase and zombie hunting with your friends in a computer-generated galaxy.
Thinking about it now, maybe it isn't that I am too old, it is more like that I want more things in life than those digital ones, those that don't exist and can't have. I want the opportunity to live a little and go crazy. That's it! Just be crazy.
I rushed down the stairs hoping to hurry up and get them prepared and ready to leave. I entered the kitchen, stomping my feet a little irritated to be out of my comfy bed, "Yes mom?"
"We're heading out", she said while packing a backpack with pumpkin seeds and water bottles. "Don't you want to say goodbye to us?" She asked pausing what she was doing and looking up at me.
I went by her and gave her a quick goodbye hug, "I love you, mom", I said gently.
"We'll be back soon. You know our number. Call if there is an emergency", she began with her lecture.
"Mom! I know what to do! I'm not a little kid anymore!" I shouted softly.
She continued with her packing and completely ignored what I said. "No parties while we're away!"
"Mom!"
"No boys in the house", she continued, not paying any attention to my complaining.
"Mom!"
"And definitely no Jacob in the house!"
"MOM! Please stop it! You know that there is nothing between us!" I protested.
My mom knew a lot about me. She knew everything from my darkest secrets to my deepest crushes. She cradles me when I'm tired and stays up all night when I'm sick. You're probably thinking that's what mothers are supposed to do, but not all of them do it so well. Sure she cooks and cleans, but she's also my kind of like my best friend.
I could hear footsteps descending down the stairs. "Dear, hurry up. We should have been out of the house two hours ago. We might miss our flight!" my father called in a rush.
He walked up to me and gave me a quick hug and a kiss on my head, "How is my little pumpkin today?" he asked me.
"I'm fine dad. I'm just tired to be awake at six o'clock in the morning", I yawned. He chuckled.
"Once we leave, you could go back to your bed and sleep. Just remember no parties, no drugs, no drinking, and most importantly NO BOYS!" he emphasized.
I rolled my eyes. "You guys don't trust me that much?!" I asked with a disappointed, yet doubtful tone.
My mom opened the fridge. "We trust you with our lives. It's just that this would be our first time leaving you alone for a whole week!"
I looked at my dad who was staring at me. He began, "You know our number, right?"
Not this again, I thought. I jerked my way to the couch. "Yes, I do. And I also know the police's number as well as the pizza guy's number. So don't worry, I could take care of myself", I scoffed.
My dad glared at me. "Don't you mean the pizza store's number?" he corrected.
I rolled my eyes then nodded in agreement. More footsteps could be heard descending from the stairs now. Here comes trouble, I figured.
A rush of footsteps entered the kitchen, "Mom, tell Sabrina to give me back my game. She hit me then she took it from me! I was fighting a boss battle and now she's going to make me lose!" my little brother exclaimed with his whiny voice.
"No, I didn't you liar! Your weren't even playing it, so stop making up lies", my sister began with an irritated tone, "I found it laying there on the bed, so I took it to try it out and you came along and started hitting me", my sister retorted. She went and hide behind our dad and said with a pouty face. "Dad, tell Eric that he needs to learn how to share. Tell him to apologize!"
Our dad rubbed his eyes with his hand frustrated by their early fight. "Both of you stop it!" my dad demanded.
My mother stepped in. "Why do you guys have to argue this early in the morning?" she grunted. She had made sandwiches for both of my siblings and handed each one of them two sandwiches to shut them up.
"He started it!" my sister began with a full mouth.
"No I didn't!" my little brother hissed back.
"Yeah ha!"
"Nuha!"
"Yeah ha!"
"Nuha!"
"ENOUGH! Both of you to the car!" my father bawled. I could hear their muffled complaints as they began heading to the car.
They just had to get him mad! I thought miserably. Lucky for them, our dad doesn't stay mad for long. He is a diplomatic person full of patience.
My mother went up to him and gave him a reassuring hug. He sighed and gave her a hug back.
After a while of awkward silence, my mother's sight set on me. "Okay, honey", my mother smiled worriedly, "we're leaving".
Finally! I got off the couch and skipped toward my mother. I gave another, yet longer, goodbye hug and kiss. "Don't worry about me. I'll check in with you guys everyday", I smiled toward her.
"It won't be for long", my dad joined in on the hug, "We'll be back before you know it", he smiled.
He gave my mother a quick glance while I wasn't aware and headed for the car. "Dear", my mother said casually placing her hands on my shoulders, "I have too last words I want to say to you before I go. Are your ears open?"
I looked at her suspiciously. "Yes, they are mom. What is it?"
She took in a deep breath and sang, "No sex!"
I felt a blush slowly burn my face. "You know I wouldn't! I don't have boyfriends or guy friends! I can't believe you just said that to me!" I argued angrily. "Why are you asking me to not do something that I wouldn't want to do?" I yelled irritated.
My mother looked at me with a puzzled expression. She realized that some of my sentences don't make sense since I was angry, but she brushed it off and continued, "There is a first for everything", my mother explained, "Besides, your father just wanted me to clarify. He knows your girl friends aren't good. That is why no one is allowed in the house. You know we're doing this because we love you, right?" she kissed my cheek.
I frowned, "Will you guys ever trust me?"
My mother ignored my question and walked toward the garage door. "Stay safe and call us if you need something". With that, she closed the door behind her leaving me alone. The whole house to me… but first I had to make sure they left.
I ran up the stairs and watched as they reversed their car out of the driveway and onto the street. They waved their final goodbyes from the car and drove off toward the sunrise. I gasped in relief, "FINALLY!"
There was something I was dying to do from the beginning of summer. I ran to my bedroom and rummaged through my closet. I found the summoning scroll I had bought off of the internet. I went through my Naruto gaming cards and found all of the Akatsuki members. Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, Sasori, Pain, Konan, Hidan, Kakuzu, Zetsu, and Tobi. I loved every single one of them. And I wanted them to know that. They may be criminals, but they are amazing criminals. Each one of them with their amazing life story. Don't they deserve to be summoned?
After reading about their stories in comic books left to me from my great great grandfather, I couldn't help but see whether summoning them could be achieved in my time.
The excitement rushed through me as I ran back down to the living room, moved the table aside and placed the scroll in the middle of the room. I rushed to the kitchen and got myself a lighter and a knife. I closed all of the curtains and shades in the house and turned on several candles. Figuring that a ritual feeling would be the best, I placed ten candles around the scroll, in a circle form. What's more, I followed that by placing all of the Akatsuki cards around me, one by each candle.
Heaving a grand sigh of relief, I began my ceremonious summoning with an evil voice "Today, I shall summon the Akatsuki. Muhahaha". I giggled at my idiotic plan, but I figured it was worth trying.
I stood in the middle of the living room with the scroll in front of me on the ground. I took the knife and placed its edge on my thumb. 'Come on Nora, you could do this', I thought to myself, 'It will only hurt a little, then you could bandage it and finish this stupid experiment so you could get back to your life'.
I took a deep breath in. I place some extra pressure on the knife and felt a trickle flow down my arm. "That didn't hurt", I lied to myself. "Now all I have to do is perform the hand seals and, hopefully, all will end well".
I readied myself. "Dog. Boar. Monkey. Bird. Sheep", I finished. Outside I could hear thunder roar and see lightening flicker. The house shook slightly from the forceful power of the thunder. I looked at the window suspiciously with narrowed eyes, 'A storm? Already? But I thought the weather lady said we had sunny and clear skies throughout this week?!' I glanced at my summoning scroll. 'Could it be…?' I thought. "Nah, what am I afraid of, nothing bad is going to happen", I dismissed my suspicions, "After all, the laws of physics and life won't allow it".
I went back and concentrated on my ritual. I stood up straight with my hand raised high. Slamming my hand on the summoning paper, I yelled powerfully, "SUMMONING JUTSU!"
I looked around my house. Nothing. No sign of anyone. "Oh, well. At least I got that out of my system", I smiled. The thunder outside began to roar even harder and the rain began to pour. I went over to the window and looked outside. There was wind as well. Very strong wind, clearly ready to knockoff some trees out of the ground.
I closed the shades again and went to the kitchen sink and washed my finger. I glanced over to my little ritual place and frowned a little. "I wish that I could have summoned them".
"Summoned who?" a voice said behind me. I turned around. Nothing. "Who's there?" I said a little frightened. No answer.
Was I hearing things? Was it all in my head? I closed the water and walked around my dark house. "Why did I have to close the shades", I whined.
I heard a footstep coming from the hallway. I froze. "Hello?" I called out nervously, "Is anyone here?"
No reply.
"I must be paranoid", I admitted with a sigh of relief. "After all, I'm the only one in the house".
I walked back to my ritual site. The candles were out. I was sure that I didn't put them out. I looked around one last time and caught a shadow in the room before me. It was moving away and I could no longer see it. 'Someone is here', I thought petrified. I grabbed the knife I used to puncture my thumb off of the table and slowly tiptoed to the other room. The floor creaked at every step I gained toward the dining room. I stopped moving to hear for sounds that the other person might make. I felt dumb right then, 'Why didn't I think of that earlier?' Now he knows I'm coming and probably won't move until I reach his sight. Then he'll kill me. My knees went weak. I was almost there.
I continued to tiptoe toward the dining room just extra cautiously. I neared the kitchen. 'One more room', I began to shake, 'I don't wanna to do this!' I complained in my mind.
I entered the room slowly. WOSH. WIP. WOSH.
"It was only the curtain", a groan escaped my lips. "I must have left this window open".
Well now I feel really dump.
I took a sigh of relief then yelled, "STUPID CURTAIN! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!" But I finally relaxed and my heartbeat slowed down.
Turning around, I began heading back to the living room when… CRASH! A blinding, instantaneous light crashed through my living room ceiling. I stood there dumbstruck. Lightening never struck and broke the ceiling of a two-story house before!
The light disappeared. It took me a while until I realized what had just happened. "MY HOUSE!" I squealed. I started to breathe fast. Am I hyperventilating?
What are my parents going to think? No…What are my parents going to do? I thought about it for a little while. "MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO MINCE ME AND COOK ME AND EAT ME FOR DINNER!"
I went closer to where the lightening had struck. I could hear the hissing of the fire and see the smoke arise. The ground and the ceilings were on fire. I began to squeal even louder. "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW?"
"You might want to call someone to fix it", a crispy chuckle came from behind me. Was it… Kisame?
No way. I didn't want to turn around this time. If I did, nothing would be there. Closing my eyes tight shut, I muttered lowly, but hurriedly, "It's all in my head. It's all in my head. It's all in my head". I kept my eyes closed, but I could still hear the burning and crackling of the wood. The smell of burnt wood told me that I was still awake. I opened my eyes slowly and saw my living room burning. The voice was gone.
"What's all in her head?" another voice asked. "Maybe the fact that her house is on fire", the other voice coming from the same direction answered.
I stiffened. Could it be that it worked? Are they really here? I recollected myself, turned around, and shrieked. Ten figures stood in front of me. "Oh my GOD! IT'S YOU! IT'S REALLY YOU!"
"What the hell are you screaming for? Your house is on fire!" an angry Hidan scowled.
I just stood there baffled. I couldn't help but stare at all of them and their divine figures. I felt a slight drool coming down my chin. I wiped it quickly with my sleeve and continued to look at their heavenly charm. I was dazed.
In all actuality, some of them looked a little creepy in real life. Like Tobi with his mask, or Kisame with his blue skin and fish like features. Not to forget Kakuzu with his green and red eyes, and Zetsu with his plant appearance. But, if you look at everyone else… they were just to-die-for handsome…except for Konan because she was a girl, but she was gorgeous!
"Are you going to just stand there dumbstruck?" Kakuzu asked with irritation in his voice.
Itachi stepped forward. "She's obviously under shock", he answered with his dreamy voice, "Give her sometime and she'll eventually snap out of it".
"If we wait for her as you say itachi, the house might burn down killing us with her", Konan replied firmly to Itachi's conclusion.
Pain nodded in agreement. "Then in the meantime… Kisame, Zetsu fix the damage done to this house", he demanded.
"Oh, but do we have to? I really want to see how long it would take her to snap out of her stupid look", Kisame replied frantically.
"I agree with Kisame", White Zetsu began, "Let's see how long it will take her", Black Zetsu admitted.
All their leader did was gave them a deathlike stare. They both muttered at the same time lowly in defeat, "Yes sir". With that the shark boy and plant guy began with the most amazing water style and wood style techniques to put out the flames and close the ceiling openings.
"Amazing", I muttered to myself.
I noticed that the leader Pain was walking up to me. I gulped.
"Have you awakened yet from your bewilderment?" he examined me directly.
"…" I tried to talk, but for some reason the words were caught in my throat. Opening my mouth to try again, a squeak exited my lips. A heavy blushed covered my face the minute I heard some of them chuckle.
"Worthless garbage. Can I kill her?" Kakuzu asked looking at me with an evil eye. I yelped. Is he really going to try and kill me? I could feel my soul throbbing in fear in my chest forcing the air in my lungs to tighten.
He began to advance toward me and I began to retreat at each step he took.
No one was trying to stop him. What was I going to do now? Am I going to die here? Today? On the first day of summer?!
I knew I had reached the end of the destroyed damp living room when I felt my back hit the house's limit. I looked behind me… Stupid wall!
I set my sight forward again and there he stood, inches away from me. Glaring down on me with his red and green eyes.
I let my body fall to the ground as I placed my arms around my head. "PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Without warning, he held me up by my collar ready to splatter my blood across the walls.
An uncomfortable hammering pulsed through my chest when Pain called out just in time, "Kakuzu put her down. She must live".
"And why is that?" Deidara requested, "We don't need her, hn".
Sasori walked over to Deidara. "If she is the one who summoned us, then killing her would mean the end of us as well. Stupid idiot", he retorted while hitting his partner slightly on the head.
Deidara rubbed his head then whined, "You're so mean Sasori, my man. I was sure we didn't need her. We're the Akatsuki after all, hn".
"Sasori is right. Her end will mean our end", Pain informed.
"So what do we do now?" Konan inquired.
"We have her inform us where we are, what is going on, and why she has summoned us here?" Pain answered calmly. "Then we'll see what we can do in this world".
"Kakuzu", Hidan began ignoring his leader's words, "You should put her down before your ugly face gives her a heart attack", he grinned evilly.
Kakuzu released me to fall to the ground then walked over to his loudmouthed partner. "Do you want to die?" Kakuzu challenged with his dark voice.
"I don't die you fat idiot", Hidan smirked menacingly.
"Then I'll make the rest of your eternity a living hell!" he replied dryly.
"Tobi doesn't like it when master Kakuzu and master Hidan fight", Tobi broke in.
"He's right", Sasori added, "We don't have time for this".
"So what are we going to do about the girl?" Kisame entered the conversation.
"I'll take care of this", Itachi answered casually walked up to me.
"I don't trust him", Deidara hissed, "He's got the looks, but everything else about him just reeks, hn".
"Well, if it was for you", White Zetsu scolded, "You'd blow everything up", Black Zetsu finished.
Tobi laughed. "That's senpai for ya. He bombs everything!" he said cheerfully.
Deidara took a step forward toward Tobi. "You say another word and I'll destroy you Tobi!" he exclaimed fiercely.
Tobi jumped and hid behind Zetsu. "You never learn, do you Tobi?" white Zetsu said, "Don't be so mean to him. Tobi's a good boy", black Zetsu added.
I watched them converse with each other. They were just like in the anime… Dangerous and unpredictable.
Once Itachi reached me, he gave me a sincere and gentle smile. I was sure I was about to faint. His gorgeousness was unbelievable! He even looked hotter in real life than he was in the anime! If that was even possible!
He put out a hand for me and I took it. Helping me up, he asked with his alluring voice, "Are you alright?"
I still couldn't say a thing with my tongue twisted. Not to mention that the hottest Akatsuki member was standing right in front of me!
I just nodded my head telling him that I was fine.
He held out his arm for me. At first I was hesitant. What does he want from me? What is he going to do to me? But then I realized something. If there was anyone I could trust out of all of the Akatsuki, then it would be Itachi.
I took his arm casually with a wild blush burning my face. He led me up the stairs and into a room where he could speak with me alone. I could hear the giggles and dirty jokes as he led me upstairs from some of the members of the organization. I decided to ignore them for there was nothing more I could do. I gazed at Itachi.
"Are you afraid?" he asked.
I still was staring at him with giant eyes disbelieving that he was right there, next to me. I recollected myself and answered with a stutter, "Y-yes".
He smiled. I was about to melt. "What's your name?" he continued to question me.
"My name is Nora", I struggled out.
After a minute or two, my mind as well as my heartbeat began to relax. I was able to breathe normally. And I allowed him to ask me his questions and I answered all of them unconsciously.
