CHAPTER ONE: HOLIDAY

It was easier to travel at night, less traffic and therefore less road-rage. But it was harder if you are driving with the whiny sounding Uchiha Itachi, the blindest (literaly and metaphorically) memeber of the Akatsuki, who was trying to wrestle the steering wheel out of you hands even before you get in the car. Konan-sama stole the keys out of his grasp and jingled the keys in front of the blind Uchiha.

"Not in your condition." She snapped. "I'm driving."

"WHAT!" The others communaly whined. Konan turned to face the rest of the group with a I-am-going-to-hurt-you-real-good-if-you-keep-on-moaning look. Pein yawned as he saw that the beginning of the morning show over the horizon. He was sleepy, and he could tell that the others were too. All except Tobi and Konan, who had been driving the cars. Only Itachi, Kisame and Sasori were willing to exit the Hummers, the rest were asleep.

"Ahinata said to look for red balloons." Tobi said, drinking the last of

his coffee. Konan squinted and pointed into the dimmness. In the darkness the red balloon shone. It was on a post of somekind. On closer inspection, it was a driverway. Konan whooped and high-fived Sasori.

"Lets go people." Konan minutes later, Konan manouvered the Hummer down a cobbled driveway that lead to the seaside was the first to exit the

car and inhale the moist seaspray. Ahinata slid the door open and smiled.

"God, I thought you all died!" she shouted. Konan saw that she was all wet.

"Whats up with being wet?" Konan asked.

"I just got out of the sea." She replied, coming down from the veranda and to help the tired Akatsuki. Tobi jumped out of the car and gasped at the house. It was at least three stories.

"Welcome to Pheonix Bay."

The views were amazing. It was as if a pheonix had streaked the skies with the reds, yellows and golds the mythical creature was famed for. It was a striking sight, with the sea a almost vivid purple and the black islands against both of those brilliant colours, enhancing the whole scene. Whilst Pein woke the others, Ahinata showed Konan and Tobi the house.

It was tidily furnished, seats made of leather sat in the living room whilst a totaly stainless steel kitchen with scattered bits of red decorated it sat opposite of this living room. The whole place felt like a western hotel with a big pricetag. No one would ever guess that it was a safehouse for a shinobi religion. She could hear muttering, strewn with an frequent swear.

"You had to bring that heretic to this place didn't you?"'

"Well he is of the Akatsuki." Konan answered. "And you can't talk, ain't you a religious zealot?"

"Ahh...touche." she said. Tobi was jumping around.

"Tobi needs to go to the toliet, un" Deidara said sleepily.

"Upstairs, first door to the left."
