I had always wondered about him. He just didn't seem like the type to be an S-class criminal. He didn't seem the type to be in Akatsuki. He especially didn't seem qualified enough to replace Sasori of the Red Sand. Tobi. Tobi was his name. He was a mystery. His orange mask covered his face and his clothing concealed all of his skin from sight. The only thing not covered up by clothing was his black hair.

I brushed my black bangs out of my eyes. My name was Tamako and I had joined the Akatsuki a few months ago and I still couldn't figure out the mystery that was Tobi. We were friends and yet I hadn't heard a thing about his past or anything about his life outside of Akatsuki at all. He never talked about it.

Tobi was truely unique. His personality was weird too. For an Akatsuki at least. He was always hyper and happy, never angry or sad. He never showed any negative emotions and he was never mean or cruel to anyone.

I kept walking in the direction of the base, just now returning from my latest mission. Of course it was a success. Tobi was skipping happily a few feet in front of me. I giggled at the sight. I really did wonder how he could manage being so cute and dangerous at the same time.

"Tama-san! Tobi wants a cookie! Can Tobi have a cookie?!" Tobi asked.

"Sure, Tobi, when we get inside." I told him. Tobi cheered and hugged me before running off into the base, I followed him at a slower pace.

"Tama-san will go report to Leader while Tobi gets his cookie!" I rolled my eyes. He was so childish. I walked straight down the hall while Tobi went to the left, in the direction of the kitchen. At the end of the hall, I knocked on the large double doors and went inside. Leader looked up from his desk.

"Ah, do you have the mission report, Tamako?" He asked. I nodded, handing him the said document.

"It was a complete success, although I did manage to get this." I said, rolling up my cloak sleeve, revealing a long narrow cut down my arm.

"Clean it up. I can't afford to lose any members." Leader ordered. I nodded and left his office. I walked back down the hall and then to the right which led me to a large staircase. I went upstairs and found mine and Tobi's room. I went inside and slipped off my Akatsuki cloak before going into the bathroom. I washed my cut and rummaged through the cabinets looking for the bandages.

"Damn! Where the hell are they?!" I growled. Someone grabbed my arm gently and wrapped up my wound.

"Don't worry, Tobi make it all better." Tobi assured. His mask was almost touching my nose when I turned around. I blushed slightly and gave Tobi a shocked look before shutting the cabinets and walking out of the bathroom and sitting down on my bed.

I had never thought Tobi was that...well... Up close he...was...damn. Why was I having dirty thoughts about the good boy?! I wonder if I would like Tobi the bad boy... My perverted side thought.

"Is Tama-san ok?" Tobi asked. I looked up and bumped my nose into his mask.

"Ow." I muttered, rubbing my nose.

"Tobi is sorry." He apologized. I shook my head.

"Nah."

"..."

"What?" I asked.

"..." Tobi was just...well, I assumed he was staring at me. I couldn't see because of that damn pumpkin mask he always wears! My brown eyes flashed with anger. I wanted to know what Tobi looked like under that mask!

"Tobi? Good boys don't stare." I scolded. Tobi gasped.

"But Tobi is a good boy!" Tobi said. I smiled. I assumed he smiled back.

"Yeah. I'm going to sleep now." It was already dark outside, which surprised me.

"Ok!" Tobi cheered. I watched him climbed into his bed. He even slept with the damn thing on. I sighed and fell asleep in my own bed.

The next morning Tobi woke me up early.

"TAMA-SAN!" He yelled. I yelped and shot up, smaking my head against Tobi's fucking rock hard mask!

"Oh my fuging Kami!" I cried, gripping my forehead in pain. Blood trickled down my face. I shoved Tobi out of my way and ran into the bathroom. That damn little mofo! Then again he wasn't all to blame since I shot up in the first place. I grabbed a cloth and cleaned my injury with it. There was no way in fucking hell I was having a mark on my face. I made some hand signs and healed myself with a medical jutsu. It was pretty basic but it worked nonetheless. I almost shouted when I felt arms around my waist. Tobi's chin rested on my shoulder and he squeezed me tightly, but not painfully tightly.

"Tobi is very sorry for hurting Tama-san. Will Tama-san forgive Tobi?" He asked. I nodded.

"Y-yeah, Tobi." Kami, his touch was wonderful! His arms around me felt good. I was disappointed when Tobi let me go.

"Good. Now Tobi is happy again!" He cheered. I blushed and followed Tobi downstairs and into Leader's office. We had a mission briefing.

"Onto business. Tobi, Tamako, you two are going to seal the Three-Tails. I don't expect this to be a problem." Leader told us. We both nodded and headed out.

"We're almost to the lake. Keep your guard up." I warned.

"Tobi knows. Tobi may act the way Tobi does, but that does not make Tobi any less of an Akatsuki." He told me. I smirked.

"Right." I saw the lake coming into view and the Three-Tails was visible above the water. Tobi and I got into position in the trees on seperate sides of the lake. We could seal it without any problems considering the beast was sleeping. Tobi and I made the hand signs and formed a barrier around the area. If the beast woke up it wouldn't be able to go anywhere.

As we began the sealing something happened. I had no idea what could've gotten through the barrier, but whatever it was could throw a kunai, because that's just what I ended up dodging. I signaled for Tobi to continue the sealing while I fought off this mofo. From the looks of his headband, he was a Mist nin.

Leave the Three-Tails alone!" He warned. I smirked.

"You can't stop the Akatsuki." I said. I made some hand signs. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" The Mist nin also made a water dragon and they both clashed, but his was stronger and the blast sent me into a tree. I groaned and got back to my feet as the nin walked towards me, sword drawn. I pulled out a kunai and swung at him. He dodged and this went back and forth for a while. I was sure I was holding him off long enough for Tobi to complete the sealing. In fact I could see the Three-Tails growing weak. I avoided a fatal blow by ducking just in time. I stabbed the nin with my kunai before he could recover. He sputtered and choked on his own blood before collapsing. I sighed and put my kunai away.

Soon the Three-Tails was sealed and all we had to do now was report back to Leader at the base.

"Did you get hurt?" Tobi asked me on our way back to the base.

"No, I'm fine." I assured. "You don't need to worry about someone like me."

"Tobi can't help but worry! Tobi always worries about Tama-san!" Tobi exclaimed. That made me smile.

"Thanks, Mr. Good Boy." I said. I stepped closer to Tobi and kissed the side of his mask.

Well...I'm not happy with it. It could've been better, but I'll continue if I get some reviews and possibly some ideas. Probably not my best fic so far...
