[[I know, right? I like the name... no one has it, really. o .0 I know like two people named Toni but that's not the same. xD ]]
Nami spread her arms out in front of her, preparing to do a handstand; she no longer favored walking on her feet. Soon she was easily walking on her hands, biting her lip so she wouldn't fall over. "Itachi," She finally gained enough skill to be able to talk, "-kun...?" She didn't know how he wanted to be addressed by her, but '-kun' should be alright, right? Eh. She continued her question, "are you a teenager? Adult? ... I know you're not an elder... You're too..." She didn't know how to describe his non-elder-ness. "... not old looking." Instead of shrugging, for that seemed quite impossible while walking on hands, she scrunched her nose in the stupidity of her choice of words. How badly she needed to really study the English language...
[[Orly? 8D I don't really have much actually planned. I just know I wanna keep Kai in here. xD ]]
Kai averted his eyes, looking off to the side near the door. "I know..." He almost didn't want to ask her about it. What if he were to upset her on accident? A happy Kurai is a happy Akatsuki. An unhappy Kurai... His eyes quirked. So many questions to ask not only her, but himself. Why was he doing any of this? He exhaled, aiming the air to move his hair out of his eyes. "Is... is there anything you need, Kurai? Anything you wanna ask me? Er.... Anything?" Honestly, he just ran out of things to ask her that could upset her, so it's the perfect time to see if there was something that Kai could do to ease her, or something like that.
Kira nodded. "Everyone that's ended up in the Akatsuki were ...nomads." She put it the way Akane had, though for the most part she meant something completely different. She poked a roll that was lying on the plate, considering it and its properties, whether or not she'd eat it, that and the like.

[[My dad's name is Tony, with a 'y' xD. Most of the people I know have the common names Michael, John, Christine, Chelsea. And then there's me ^ ^;]]
'The blood rushing to Nami's brain was definitly not good.' Itachi was sort of 'talking' to himself. 'It's making her more.. more clumsy when she was talking.' He wondered about Nami's question whether he was a teenager or an adult. ignoring the 'not old looking' comment. Itachi was only 21 after all. 'Well,' Itachi wondered, 'My age no longer ends with an 'ager', removing me from that category. Although calling myself an adult doesn't seem right.' When he finally made up his mind on what to call himself, Itachi spoke the words, "A young adult." He glanced at Nami, Itachi knew it was only polite to ask Nami the question back except he didn't care to be polite when in the Akatsuki.
[[Yarly! xD It isn't exactly at this very moment and not just for Kai but it'll come along. Hopefully it'll work. n__n"]]
Kurai let out a weak chuckle. By the looks of things, Kai seemed very... unsure. Very confused although she wasn't sure what would lead him to be confused to begin with. She scanned her mind for things to talk about with him, but of course Kurai had yet to feel comfortable to talk to anyone about most of it. There was one thing she could talk about with Kai. The one thing she had a mental note of, "Why do you not call yourself kind?" Of course, he said he only helped her because he wanted to. Maybe because Kai didn't want her dead? If that's all he wanted, her not dead again, than why. Why did Kai go to extent of listening to her picky complaint of slowing down? Why did he want to talk to her more than he had to? Why did he ask if her needs weren't being met? Why didn't he just leave her out to rot away?
"But it was the members' choice." Akane spoke quietly, rolling a roll between her left index finger and thumb. For as long as Akane could remember, she did not have a place to call home. What she would have given to experience such a thing. Akane was still that little girl Katashi had found..
[[Sorry it took me forever to post. I had go find reference for Itachi's age (Silly people keep calling him 17 but that's not right) and for Kurai's post]]

[[Tony. xD I like that name but... it sounds like someone got lazy in naming their child. >.>;; ]]
"Ah." Nami pushed gently off of the ground and bent into an almost painful looking "C" shape to place her feet gracefully back on the ground, continuing to walk without any sort of pause from the action. "Whew..." She picked at her hair, trying to make it lay down as perfectly as it was before. "'A young adult...' Hm. I think I'm still kinda in the 'teenage' catagory. Which I don't like. BUT," Her arm shot up into the air to show her energy for the oncoming statement. "I have a birthday coming up. So... I ... guess that'll put me more into the adult catagory." She quieted down after her exclamation of "BUT," so it seemed unbalanced. [[I feel like making her have a birthday soon, so yeah. xDD ]] Even though she was currently 18, and at that age you're legally an adult, she just didn't feel like being an 'adult' yet.
[[ I'm confused... >.> What if it doesn't work out as planned because I screw it up because Iunno what to do? xD ]]
The question wasn't something Kai had expected, and it honestly took him a minute to remember that he had said that to her not too long ago. A bitter smile made way 'cross his face. "I've done some bad things." Some bad things that really didn't need to happen... Bad things done for no apparent reason... Very bad things. He cocked his head to one side, a popping sound being the result. He repeated that on the other side of his neck, his body then seeming to sag as he lost half of the thoughts inside of his head.
"Not all of the time...I didn't choose to be feared. I didn't choose to be hated, nor did I choose to be shunned." Kira practically spat the words back, 'choose' being the one word with the most venom. Akane wasn't one of a kind. She couldn't have been much different than Kira. Kira was born a murderer. What was Akane born as?
[[xDD You didn't have to do that! Ah, it's fine. c: ]]

[[His name is actually Anthony but no one calls him that. n__n" Sorry this took so long and the post itself wasn't longing. I think I've been typing much slower than usual today.]]
Itachi arched an eyebrow, something he had perfected over the years. Birthdays were dreaded by most, although he didn't understand it. Was it not to celebrate they day of birth? Celebrating each year you remain alive, is it not a blessing? Shame on the people who believed it was more of a step closer to your day of judgment. A real shame. "When is your birthday?" Itachi asked, knowing that it would probably lead to what he was thinking about.
[[Of course not d: I'm very forgetful so it'll probably end up as MY fault ^^;]]
Kurai watched Kai carefully. "You think you're the only one?" Of course it was a silly question for she already knew what he would say. Akatsuki was a place where the worst joined together. They were not S-ranked criminals for nothing. Although the Akatsuki hadn't done much hardening to Kurai, it had the opposite affect. She did her best not to laugh at Kai for this was no laughing matter. Kurai stared at Kai for the longest time, her face now solemn. "I've done some very bad things too." Some people here did forget that's why they were recruited. Her eyes shifted to her hands. It wasn't even those hands Kurai stared at that took lives. It was the hands of others.
"That's cause you, my friend, are very lucky or unlucky depending on how you see it." Akane's smile while she was talking seemed to have the smallest of evil twists. Her tone darkened, "Do you really think things would've happened differently if you weren't a host?" There were things or people, people blamed in their lives. Although, they would have the same mind. In the end, would it not twist up the same without the people or things that have been blamed as that cause? At that very moment, the rolls in front of her seemed plain, unimportant. Almost like she didn't have a care in the world.

[[ :0 I usually don't type slow, I just mess up a lot on some days. xD ]]
[[I'mma make up a random date. 8D Probably when Nami goes to sleep and wakes up it'll be her birthday. I don't like my OC's to sleep much because I like conversations and drama too much. <3 ]]
Nami smiled happily at the question. She didn't know why she did, though. "August 29th." She loved birthdays, but not particularly her own. Though she was still happy she was born! Don't get her wrong... She, unlike many, just didn't like accepting gifts and compliments and the like. So, her own birthday just made her feel awkward. Sure, she was flattered by such things, and she liked 'em and all, but she was just extremely insecure about herself.
[[I bet not. = 3= ]]
"No. I'm that stupid... er..." He tried to find the right word, gesturing with his hand to 'move along.' "selfish, I guess is the right word. Close enough, anyways." Kai paused, looking back down to Kurai. "But people usually have a reason to do something, right? ... I don't think I had a reason. It makes me mad, because those people probably didn't deserve to..." He trailed off purposely. That was the reason he didn't think himself a kind person. Pain can make people do awfully stupid and stupidly awful things.
Kira stared at Akane from the corner of her eyes, her body unnervingly still. "Probably not. I'd probably still see them as the same, with them still seeing the same." One by one, she tapped each of her fingers against the table, something she did when she was either feeling sadistic, or just extremely bored. At the moment it could've been either one. "Right?"

[[Really? I can type really slow if I feel especially lazy today ~ It's weird. I kind of want to post Kurai before Itachi right now. But i won't. Itachi deserves to shine sometimes too ^ ^;]]
[[I assume you mean August? d:]]
How could he bring up the topic of 'how do you feel about birthdays?' without sounding strange? Itachi remembered something for a moment that sparked a whole train of thoughts. These people were not like him. They all gathered in the Akatsuki because of the horrible things they've done and so they could seek for more. Itachi did not seek for more and obviously he did some horid things but not for himself. The lives of the others weren't a happy childhood as he recalled his own. Birthdays were something they dreaded. Something they wish hadn't happened. They were loathed, feared of and terrifying ninjas. How often did criminals celebrate their birthdays? Itachi decided to seek an answer from Nami, "You celebrate your birthday often?"
"Always. People always have a reason." Kurai looked away from Kai, staring at the wall. 'Like me, I killed for enjoyment. I found it rather fun to watch them squirm.' Kurai wanted to say this. She wanted to very badly but couldn't. The faces of those she killed flashed through her mind. A small smile escaped. Quickly, Kurai wiped it off her face. Really, Kurai felt bad for those who had just happened to be there. Much quieter than before she said, "Sometimes the reason isn't the right one. But who am I to say?"
Akane shrugged. She wouldn't know that was for sure. How would life be if she remembered? More or less the same. Akane picked up another roll tossing it into her mouth. "We're just little pawns in a plan, ne? We haven't got a say."

[[ xD Post in whichever order you want~ 8D I'm just posting in the order you are. xD ]]
[I did actually mean to put July... But now that I think about it, it seems confusing... >.> I'll fix it later. xD ]
"Once a year." Nami giggled, "But that's only if you count sitting by yourself 'celebrating.'" She looked up at Itachi, her expression somehow happy. "I was happy on that day, though. Isn't that what matters? Or does having the people you love around you matter more?" She seemed to question herself more than she did Itachi. She doubted she'd be able to do that tomorrow. Having the people she loved around her. Of course, she'd want them to want to be there, so it probably wouldn't happen. Who would care about someone's birthday in a heartless organization where everyone is a criminal?
"Maybe. But my reason must've sucked." Kai adjusted the crown that sat atop his head, just to give himself something to do. "I don't think there's a right reason at all to kill someone. It's still a sin, no matter how it's looked at. Not that I'm one for God... Whether or not I've killed someone, I don't like taking someone's life. Which is odd and ironic when I say that once I'm in the Akatsuki."
"Pawns. I like that word. It's... fitting." Kira arched her neck to examine the ceiling. This kind of talk was depressing even her. Well... not depressing... mostly just pissing her off even more at the world, not to mention humanity. Hn. Teenagers.

[[I'm posting in the order you are too.. xD It doesn't really matter. it's strange though. Kurai's POV is what I always want to post except I keep getting stuck on her POV ^ ^;]|[Ooohs. My bad]]
Itachi's mind flickered back to his past birthdays. He didn't do much on those days except when he was with his family. Itachi wondered quietly if his family was still around, would they celebrate with him? Of course they would've. If Itachi's family was around that meant he was innocent, no crime done. "It's much funner with your loved ones around," Itachi's voice was quiet, the tiniest smiles on his face. "Much better."
"Mmm, I must agree with you. There is no right reason to kill but whatever our reason is seems good enough since we willing do it over and over again." Kurai whispered the second sentence quieter. Was that it for her? That her reason of pleasure seemed good enough to her? If Kurai couldn't have what she wanted, why should anyone else? She was slow for sure 'cause it just hit her, "Must've?? What do you mean must've? You don't.. you don't know?'
Akane was back to her 'happy' little self. "I'm boring you aren't I?" She got up gathering the empty plates, stacking them on top of each other. "You better finish those rolls." Akane requested, shoving the plates into a dishwasher. (don't even know if they have one x3) "You are still developing after all. S'bad not to eat even if you have stopped."
[[I don't know. Should he? Kai-kun, what do ya think? [Sounds funny 'Kai-kun' n__n"] Not to forget you Tsu-san and Courtney-chan? You think the time is ripe? [I loves saying that 'is the time ripe?']]]

[[xDDD I don't know which post I look forward to posting most... Heh. I mostly like Nami's and Kai's so far. Kira seems to bore me because she's getting nice. :C IT'S NOT MY FAULT. I can't stand to have someone so mean, but I'm tired of nice people... xD ]]
[ It's ok! c: You made it better, actually. God knows I'll get confused later.
-.______-. ]
Nami nodded solemnly, muttering a "Yup." Nami had loved her family, they just never seemed to have loved her. She wondered what her birthday would be like this year. She could probably count on Kai being there, at least. They seemed to have bonded quickly, what with having mostly the exact same personality. A two-person party. Joyness to the world. She'd probably feel like she'd have to do something for Kai in return if he just showed up on his own. ... God, she was depressing herself. [[ Is it bad that I'm typing how I feel instead of how Nami should? xD ]]
Kai exhaled deeply, causing his hair to fall back in front of his eyes. "No, I don't know. I'm not sure if I had a reason back then, or now. But you said everyone has a reason, and I stand by that, but if I somehow had one.... I'm not sure what'd it'd even remotely be. If someone goes through something tragic, wouldn't they try to save lives instead of take them?"
Kira almost blushed at Akane's wording. What on earth did Kira have to develop? She could kill someone without even touching them, drive them to insanity and leave them to kill themselves, but she still had to develop? "Fine, fine..." Surely eating one more would be enough, right? ... Her stomach needed shut up.
[[-Kai stares- > .> Iunno, man... It's not my choice. xD // -Courtney stares- I dunno. Depends on if you have anything planned for Kai. xDDD Zetsu doesn't really have a plan. He'll come in, fix ya up, probably have some mindless chatter, and then possibly leave. :0 ]]

[[I know, me too. It's hard to be mean like after Kurai had 'died' I had planned her to be mean but she seems to just not be as hyper]]
The walk didn't seem like a good idea all of a sudden. The happy little atmosphere had suddenly turned to a grim one in a matter of seconds! "Are you.." Itachi seemed hesitant to ask. Reeeeal hesitant. He gulped up some air and continued on, "Are you celebrating with Akatsuki?" Weird. That was definetly out of character. WAY out of character, especially for Itachi.
"We're all different. Most people would attempt to save lives but.. but I.. guess...." Kurai stuttered at the end, wondering where she was heading with this. The thought had completly been dismissed so she lyed there for a while, staring at the wall. It didn't take very long for the thought to return. "I guess it depends how deep the wound is." How deep were Kurai's own wounds? The wounds that, if physical, must've ran across her entire body. Just when they almost seemed to close someone came in or left her life just to open them easily. "We're people who've just been through a lot. We're most likely tired of getting hurt, at least I know I am."
Akane smiled at Kira. As embarassing as what she said was, it was true. There was always something to develop, physically, socially, mentally, emotionally. Always something. She laid the left over rolls on a clean plate, leaving it in the middle of the table. "What else do you do here?"

[[Yeah. I'm tired of being hyper with my OC's. Nami is the only exception. She's not like... mental hyper. Just too happy sometimes. <3 ]]
The question hadn't shocked Nami in the least; it was that Itachi had stuttered. He seemed to not want to ask the question, and Nami couldn't figure out why. She didn't seem the slightest bit sad to say, "Who else is there to celebrate with?" She merely asked in a confused way. She hadn't noticed how much of a downer she was causing. It seemed almost normal to celebrate with the Akatsuki when in the Akatsuki, right? When in Rome, do as the Romans do, right? Where had that saying gone?
Kai seemed to be satisfied with her answer. Made sense. It pieced together half of the questions he had floating around in his head.
"Ready in here?" Zetsu had poked his ... plant-head-thing in the door to gaze at the two. He had been preparing what supplies he thought Kurai needed, so that way when he started he wouldn't have to stop any procedures until finished.
"Mmm. It all depends if you're willing to try out newer things. When I got here, there wasn't much to do until I gave up and just went along with everything." Kira finished off her third roll, her stomach finally shutting up. "Surprisingly, there's quite a bit to do here. Why do you ask? Ready to go on an adventure?"

[[I'm attempting to roleplay and tektek at the same time. D: ATTEMPTING to fix my poor tekteking skills]]
The question coming from Itachi didn't seem to both Nami at the least. Usually, he'd sigh but that would have let Nami know he was bored which he wasn't really. "We aren't really ones to celebrate things." It was true. Itachi knew things about the members, such as birthdays, but no one ever bothered to do anything about them. It didn't seem to need an explination but just so Nami wouldn't be brought down he added, "They might be willing if gathered." Odd for him to care about Nami. Well, odd for him to care about anything.
A small nod came from Kurai. Hopefully big enough for Zetsu-san to see. Her eyes shifed towards Kai, "You probably don't want to see." A small smile, a fake one but still a smile, popped on to her face quickly. "I'm rather bloody and you are too." Kurai added in the last part without so much as a pause. His 'I don't want her to rot' attitude had gotten him quite dirty.
"I'm always ready." The largest, childish smile grew onto her face. Akane quickly finished up cleaning up the kitchen; putting away the dishes and unused vegetables, sweeping the floor, wiping the table and counters and what not. "Done. Lead the way will you?"

[[xDDD I usually don't care about using tektek. I just make my avis when I'm actually dressing them. Probably why mine usually suck. ;o ]]
"No, they wouldn't." Although it wasn't needed, Nami shook her head just to prove how driven she was on the subject of none of them caring. Why should they care? A birthday is just like any other day. Every single day, it was someone's birthday on the other side of the planet. There's no way you could celebrate them all, so why care about one more?
Kai looked down, noticing how bloody his shirt and arms managed to get. He stared at them as if asking, "When the hell did this happen?" But of course he knew when and how it happened. He looked back up to Kurai, eyeing her as if she had a 3rd eye on her forehead. "You sure?"
Kira held up a hand, hopefully slowing the girl. "Hold up, ninja." She lowered her hand so she could continue without her own hand blocking her face. "Depends on where you wanna go and what you wanna do. I need some form of an idea." [[ I have nothing planned, that's why. xD ]]

[[Ehhh?? I thought you always tekteked 'cause your avi's are always rocking n__n]]
Itachi sighed quietly. Their footsteps echoing in the empty hallways. Where was everyone anyway? This might've been the first time the Akatsuki was, well, calm. "You've never tried," Itachi pointed out. Was Nami somehow pysic too?
Kurai didn't know how she would be if she was left alone for one moment. Although, Zetsu-san was there with her right? At least she could be as sane as possible with others around. Kurai did not want to be alone ever again. "Uh huh." She felt hesitant while speaking, though it didn't sound so in her voice. Kurai felt like tugging on Kai's shirt, wanting him to stay, but she couldn't bring herself to do that. She should not bring it upon others if she can't take care of herself.
"Ehhh..." Akane began. What was it that she wanted to do? She flickered her eyes around the kitchen, her idea had to be floating around somewhere. "Trainings boring and I hear no one here trains anyway..." Akane spoke quietly, trying to figure it out slowly. "Meeting the Akatsuki will be an adventure, no?"

[[ My avi is gay right now though, 'cause my friend and I are doin' this whole prank thing. xD But nuuuu, my avi's suck anyways. D8 ]]
Nami, once again, shook her head. "I don't need to try to know." She looked up at him again, keeping her expression even. "You know that, too, don't you?" What exactly was Itachi up to? He actually seemed to care. About her. ... Somewhat. Most people usually just gave up on her when she became depressed.
Kai continued staring at her for a bit, even glancing back at Zetsu to see what he'd say. A mere, "Do what you wish," being the only answer. He shrugged, and took a seat at the end of the bed. He decided that he didn't need to take a shower for the time being. He could wait.
"Depends on who're we are to meet first." Kira gave a half-hearted shrug. "Some of the members are actually boring. But that may just be my opinion." She gave them both a smirk. "What does 'Tashi' want to do?"
