Peace in a Cursed World

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Kakuzu asked lightly, peering into the rearview mirror.

The Akatsuki were in their gang van, Kakuzu was driving. It was a warm Friday morning, school was in session but the Akatsuki had skipped for this moment.

"Yes Kakuzu," Pein, their leader, replied and looked to the others. "None of you are being forced to do this. You can leave now."

"My clan is corrupt and so it this world Pein-sama," Itachi Uchiha said, leaning into his boyfriend's, Kisame's, chest. "I have no reason to stay."

"I'm not even an Uchiha anymore," Tobi added, serious for once.

"Where Tobi goes, we go," Zetsu said.

"I'm gonna become art hm," Deidara said gleefully.

"I must come to tell Deidara otherwise," Sasori smirked while said blonde huffed.

"The Akatsuki is a peace movement," Pein told them with authority. "Some of you will be missed, some of you won't. This act could do nothing at all. Are you sure you want to follow through? Truthfully?"

The Akatsuki jumped with the van as it hit the bridge.

"What the hell we got here anyway?" Hidan smirked. "I'm going high up so you all better work hard to find me or I'll get Jashin-sama to smite your asses."

Konan smiled. "Good answer."

There were crashes of wood and plastic as well as sound of shouting around them and the van.

Pein looked at his Akatsuki. They were calm, cool, and collected. Slowly Pein took Konan's hand and Tobi's. Konan took Hidan's whom took Kakuzu's free hand while Tobi took Zetsu's and Zetsu took Kisame's. Kisame grabbed Itachi in a hug with his free arm while said weasel took Sasori's who took Deidara's. They all held hands with closed eyes and smiles as the van drove off the bridge; down towards the water.

While they were suspended, there was a special moment.

In that moment, there was peace, in the cursed world.

Though I hate it, Akatsuki are the freaks of the high school who preach world peace. They planned to bring it with the guilt of their deaths. In truth, it probably wouldn't work because this world has very little good people.

I'm striving to be a good person. Someone who doesn't label another just because they look or act different. Someone who smiles at everyone and doesn't yell or let their anger control them. Do you strive for such things to?

The End.
