Summary; Tea Party at Kabuto's
Log;
Kabuto frowned down at himself for the hundredth time. For some reason his shirt was missing, all of his shirts were missing. Why it happened today, he didn't know, but he was going to try and not let it interfere.

He had spent most of the previous day, and all of that morning preparing for having guests over. He had made cakes, cookies, pies, dango, sandwiches and all sorts of snacks, as well as prepared the tea (also picked up the milk and orange juice). Once everything was ready to his liking, he had started moving the food to the balcony, having set up a table and chairs out there.

Honestly, Kabuto had no idea how many people would be showing up, this could end up being a small event. Even so, he had done what he could to make sure there was enough for those he knew would be arriving shortly, and whoever else might be showing up.

He examined his handy work one last time; satisfied with what he saw, he returned to the inside of his apartment, waiting for guests to arrive.

Edit: Put who the comment is directed at in the subject, if it doesn't have one anyone can say something or hear what is said.

Shizune finally ventured from the confines of her room in the apartment, self-consciously tugging close her yukata, as her chest was slightly more visible without the mesh underneath.

"Kabuto." She said in a form of greeting, looking about at the final product. It really was nice, as she hadn't seen it since she'd finished helping a bit last night. She didn't know how many people would show, but she did hope the people from Konoha outweighed the number from Sound and Akatsuki.

"There you are Shizune san." Kabuto returned her greeting with a smile. "People should be showing up shortly, I hope your ready." He paused, noticing how she was holding her yukata closed. "The curse got you too? Well, this one doesn't seem too bad."

[medic-assistant.livejournal.com]

"Yes, my mesh undershirt." She tried not to make the small embarressment too obvious, but couldn't help it at the sight of Kabuto walking about cheerily without a shirt.

"You too, it seems." She looked about. "I do hope others will not be showing up semi-nude. Or nude either, for that matter. What a horrible coincidence that the curse would be today."

[snake-servant.livejournal.com]

Kabuto tried to keep a serious face at the thought of people running around in their undwear or less, but couldn't quite help the chuckle that escaped him. "The higher ups of this City love to mess with the residents. Let's try to make the best of it. I'm sure none of our guests would show up naked."

Tayuya stood outside the door, a disgruntled look upon her face. She shifted her hips back and forth uneasily, trying to watch the flaps on the tunic to make sure they stayed put in front and behind. Not having any pants was a fucking inconvenience, and having to go to a tea-party with Kimimaro and hosted by Kabuto was not making it better any time soon. Looking at Kimimaro beside her and shooting a 'this is not fun' glare, she rapped on the door to the apartment. Loudly.

Since the snake (currently nestled around the region of his collarbone) had naturally not consented to stay put where it had been conveniently wrapped around his waist, Kimimaro was now relegated to simply tying the kimono sleeves themselves instead, and leaving the upper half of his body exposed to the elements.

It was hardly pleasant, but nothing a proper shinobi couldn't take, and although Tayuya fidgeting with her uniform was amusing--the little devil had never looked so uncomfortable without his threatening her--it was also unnecessary. "I hope you will try to look a little more composed in front of Konoha," he noted as they waited.

[violentflutist.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, yeah, like you don't look ridiculous at all." Tayuya sneered. "Why don't you have some of those bones poke out and you can be the goddamn coat rack?" She was grumpy today.

[snake-servant.livejournal.com]

Kabuto pulled open the door a few seconds after hearing the knock, only to be greeted with the tail end of some comment Tayuya was throwing at Kimimaro. "Hello," He smiled pleasantly at the two of them, "please come in."

Kabuto stepped aside and held open the door; lowering his voice as the two of them passed so only they would hear him, "Don't harass my roommates."

[violentflutist.livejournal.com]

Tayuya threw her hair back over her shoulder with a rather unladylike snort. "Good afternoon." She grit out. She figured she'd let Kimimaro tell Kabuto they'd moved in down the hall. Later.

She heard his voice as they passed by him into the apartment, ignoring it. Well, she wasn't ignoring it, she had survival instincts, but she acted as if she heard nothing. She instead made sure to keep checking on those tunic flaps every thirty seconds.

Resting her hands on her hips, Tenten glanced behind to make sure Neji was still with her. He looked positively awkward in the clothes she'd managed to dig up but...

She consoled herself with the thought that it was better than before as she turned back to face the door. "Better get this over with..." The kunoichi mumbled to herself as she knocked politely on the door.

[medic-assistant.livejournal.com]

Shizune walked to the door, thankful to get away from the Sound nin and let her smile slip. She opened it slowly and a real smile graced her features.

"Tenten, Neji." She said, opening the door wider. She shot a look behind her without moving her head to let them know of the prescense of part of the Sound Five. "Come in, come in. It's good to see you."

[weaponed.livejournal.com]

She gave the medical ninja a small grin as she slipped inside, dragging the older boy with her as she did so.

"I'm not sure how long we'll be here for, Shizune-san. But I hope it will be enjoyable." She winked merrily, glad to be doing something that didn't require spending any period of time underground fighting the smelly slow monster things.

Standing at the door, Deidara held the bedsheet that he had loosely tied about his waist up. He only lived next door, and yet, the bedsheet had felt progressively looser, and lighter since he walked out of his new place. Taking in a breath with a sigh, he walked in.

"Konnichiwa..." He said, walking in, finally. "At least I found something to...." At this moment, he looked down at himself, noticing something was not quite right. As he had taken a stride, he did not feel the familiar brush of the bedsheet around his legs. It was at this moment he noticed that the bedsheet had gone the way of his other garments...to that place where left socks go when you place them in the dryer..to the land of nonexistance. "Well, I had found something, un. But it seems to have disappeared as well..."

[snake-servant.livejournal.com]

"...Deidara san... it's uh... nice to see you again. Though, I don't think any of us were expecting to see quite so much of you." Kabuto paused, keeping his eyes firmly locked on a spot just to the left of the Akatsuki's head. "Why don't you go and take a seat, I don't think the table cloth will be doing any dissapearing as long as you don't try to wear it."

[medic-assistant.livejournal.com]

Shizune turned her head to see who had entered without knocking. She caught the face first, trying to smile, there was that twitch in her face again, and then she looked for that bedsheet she recommended. And...

"What the hell-" Shizune covered her mouth at the explitive. Blood rushed to her face and she turned about abruptly, averting her eyes.

[hyuuga-hime.livejournal.com]

Hinata glanced up as she heard Shizune's outburst. She smiled slightly, glad to see a familiar face.

"Shizune-sensei, it's good to see you..."

As she walked over, a glance at the couch... and the stark-naked Deidara... caused her to completely lose all speech ability. Her pearlescent eyes widened, their blanched colour even more noticable in the sudden bright red colour of her face. With a startled gasp, she quickly turned her face away.

Kimimaro had finished pouring himself the glass of milk, and the serpent at his shoulder had flicked a forked tongue into the drink and made a soft, sibilant sound, so he merely took a cautionary whiff of the fragrance before taking it with him, following Kabuto to the front door where quite a crowd had congregated.

"Is there something wrong, Kabuto-sen..." The words trailed off once the center of all the gawking attention came into full view, and he hastened to avert his eyes and take a gulp of his drink, masking the fleeting pink in his cheeks. Well. It wasn't everyday you met one of the respectable Akatsuki... quite like that.

[violentflutist.livejournal.com]

Tayuya turned around upon hearing Kabuto's... roommate curse. Not something she expected from the delicate looking woman. Moving her head to the side, she took a drink of the orange juice.

And promptly spit it back out.

"THE FUCK?!"

[chaoticcreator.livejournal.com]

Deidara grinned, placing his hands on his hips, allowing his assets to be displayed in full view. He had certainly made an impression...this would be quite amusing, as he had expected. He wandered through the room, his eyes grazing over everyone in attendance, his grin widening with each and every person he passed. His gaze caught the table, covered with different foods, and he walked up to it, grabbing a cup, and a bit of Orange Juice. With that done, he turned back around, leaning up against the table.

Hinata stood shakily in front of the door, staring at the metal numbers nailed to it. She could hear muffled voices from the other side of the slightly battered wood, though she couldn't make out who was who. She knew that Tenten and Shizune would be there, but who else? Shizune had mentioned that there would be other Konoha-nins at the "tea party", but that didn't really specify which Konoha nins. She hoped it wasn't her father. Or any other member of the Hyuuga family, really. She glanced at the floor momentarily, cheeks turning a slightly rose hue. Well, it could be Neji... that wouldn't be so bad. Hinata thought she might be ok if Neji was there. But that would mean...

I would be so embarassed if Nejinii-san saw me like this...

She pulled her arms away from her body for a moment, studying the very thin white robe she wore. She felt her cheeks burn as she remembered why she was so embarassed. She had woken up this morning and found that everything that had once been UNDER the robe had vanished... With a gulp, she took a deep breath and reached up to knock on the door.

[snake-servant.livejournal.com]

Kabuto took the knock on the door as a good way to get away from the very.... clothesless Deidara. "I'll...uh, get that." He turned away, pulling open the door to reveal yet another guest.

"Oh, it's you, I remember you from the chuunin exams, how's your heart?" This was the girl, turned woman, who had had her heart damaged by the boy the girl with the buns had dragged with her. "Please come in, and I appologize for everyone's state of undress, curse days tend to make strange things happen." He lowered his voice, "A word of warning, one of the guests has been effected in the extreme."

[hyuuga-hime.livejournal.com]

Hinata's eyes widened as the strange silver-haired man (who wasn't wearing a shirt) made polite conversation with her. It wasn't so much his lack of shirt, though that wassomewhat embarassing, it was the fact that he somehow seemed to know some degree of personal information about her. Disconcerting, as the Hyuuga girl had no recollection of this man.

"W..who are you? H..how...what do you mean, about my heart?"

She took a step backwards slightly, extremely un-nerved by his seeming familiarity with her.

[violentflutist.livejournal.com]

Tayuya wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, turning around to not face the Akatsuki member. ... She'd seen naked men before, she'd lived with four of the damn things, but that was a bit... unexpected. Of course, she could remember times like Kidoumaru running around in a towel trying to find his clothes, and she'd once walked in on Jiroubou changing, Sakon preening in the nude and Kimimaro in the shower. But... this was still different, and quite shocking. She tried to reign in her initial shock, and to cover, she discreetly checked the flaps on her tunic and turned to Kimimaro.

"He's... in the dreaded Akatsuki?"

[ossuarybouquet.livejournal.com]

Kimimaro, after the initial doubletake, had wisely decided to retreat to the living room and lean against the wall, at an angle where he wouldn't have to look at the unclothed guest on prominent display on the sofa at the moment. He sipped his milk, and looked up with raised eyebrow at Tayuya's exclamation.

"I'm not so sure about dreaded, but yes, they are notorious. He seems to be the only one in the city so far, unless they've gone underground." He had still not dismisssed that particular possibility, which was why he'd been so willing to discuss the matter of the 'sabbuwei' and guidance with Deidara.

[violentflutist.livejournal.com]

"... Notorious..." Tayuya shifted, one hand on her hip, the other on her drink. "You can say that again." She shook her head, her wild hair swinging in front of her face, half-restrained by her helmet.

"I wouldn't put it past the fuckers. Orochimaru-sama made it sound like they were good at laying low and all that shit." She took a drink from her glass, watching the other guests out of the corner of her eye, a reflex and habit. A good one, for a shinobi to exercise.
