I do not own the Akatsuki.

Dinner Time

Most of the Akatsuki were in the kitchen looking for food. They were opening cupboards and cabinets and the fridge. They found one pudding cup, some expired milk, 4pieces of moldy bread and some mystery container that even Pein was afraid to open.

"Looks like take-out again. I'll go grab the menus." Kisame left the kitchen to grab the coupons.

"I'm not going to get it this time. I went last time" Konan said.

"We'll get it delivered, yeah?"

"You idiot! We can't have a take-out place know where our hide-out is!" Pein smacks Deidera upside the head

"I don't want take-out again anyway. I think we should hire a servant to do the cooking and cleaning" Itachi suggests.

"Found the menu coupons. Pizza or Chinese?" Kisame asks as he returns to the kitchen,

"A servant is not in the budget and neither is take-out really." Kakuzu points out.

"Just hire the one and we'd be fine. Once we're done with her we kill her and we're safe" Itachi argued

"Tobi wants pizza!"

"We don't have the same funds as you Uchihas had."

"A servant would be able to go out to a village and get things we need without being recognized."

"I'm not paying for a servant who's only use is to clean up after us and cook dinner."

"Then use her for sexual favors. Or train her to be a ninja."

"Now that I think about it, I want a nice big salad for dinner with chicken." Konan ponders aloud

"We could go out for dinner. There's a new cafe in the village, yeah?" Deidera suggests to Konan.

"Maybe...We could use a transformation jutsu and hide our real selves." She looks to Pein.

"Alright....Quit your b*tching you two. We're going out to eat tonight. Kakuzu go get Hiden and Zetzu and meet us at the front. Everyone is to wear regular clothes and behave. Kisame, Kakuzu and Zetzu will be using a transformation jutsu. Deidera just keep your tongues hidden. Now go get ready!"

Pein leaves the room to get dressed along with every one else. Kakuzu gets Hiden from his rituals and Zetzu from his garden. Zetzu leaves his venous fly- trap in his room and gets changed.

About 45minutes later they meet in the front of the base dressed in street clothes. Konan put on some blue jeans and a blue button-up blouse with her hair pulled back into a simple ponytail. Pein had black jeans and a black t-shirt. Itachi threw on some dress slacks and a button up shirt with 3 buttons left undone. Kisame put on a muscle shirt and a jean jacket over it, while Deidera went all out. He put on dress pants a dark blue dress shirt and put on a sports jacket.

"I like looking nice for the ladies, yeah." He winked and gave himself a thumbs up in the mirror before meeting the others.

Tobi, not wanting to change his outfit, decided to stay at the base and eat the pudding cup and have them bring him something back. Hiden put on black slacks and a dark red button-up with a few buttons un-done. Zetzu didnt care about looking good for any one or thing so he threw on jeans and a t-shirt. Kakuzu wore jeans and white t-shirt with a plain flannel shirt over it to help cover his stitches..

"Now that every ones ready we can go. Behave Hiden, or I'll lock you in the closet with Tobi for the night." the leader threatened.

"Ahh...f*ck. D*mnit why couldn't we just get the f*cking take-out?"

"Because I wanted a salad tonight, moron." Konan glared at hiden.

"Godd*mnit! Don't any of you have some f*cking balls to tell a woman no!"

"Watch your mouth tonight or you can stay at the base" Pein glared at Hiden.

"Fine!" the dark priest mumbles curse words under his breath as the group leaves the base.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

The journey to the village was quiet except for the occasional 'are we there yet' coming from Hiden or Deirdera. But Kisame and Kakuzu would usually take care of them. This left Pein and Konan free to talk idly about anything really, until Itachi walked up to them and brought up the servant idea.

"It would be rather nice to have another female to talk to." Konan said

"Hhmmm...I'll speak with Kakuzu about it later after dinner Itachi." Pein nodded walking into the cafe upon arrival.

Once inside they were greeted by the sight of a young woman in her early 20's busing tables. She was petite with with light brown hair and emerald colored eyes. A green ¾ sleeve blouse with the top 2 buttons undone to show off the beautiful silver choker that held a moon and 2 stars dangling from it. Her hair was done up in a knot held together with hairsticks. She had cream colored slacks that held her notpad in the back pocket. She was humming softly when she noticed her new customers.

"Oh...Good evening. I didn't see you there. I assume your all together?" She smile brightly.

"Yes. We'd like a table with a little bit of privacy if you can do it" Pein requested.

"No can do in the cafe here, but I could put you in the bakery if some of your big strong friends are willing to help me." she said with a small laugh.

"But the bakery is closed. The owner will mind if we just sit there while we have dinner, yeah" Deidera frowned in slight confusion.

"I won't mind at all. If I did I wouldn't have offered. Now then, lets get those tables over there." She rubbed her hands together and started moving a table to the opening in the wall that connected the bakery and cafe together.

"You're the owner of a bakery and a diner?" Kisame asked as he heaved a table to the other room.

"I sure am. I love feeding people. It makes them happy. Besides, the way to a mans stomach is through his stomach." She laughed again and winked and Kisame.

"Interesting" Kakuzu said to himself.

Once the tables and chairs were in the bakery the owner turned on a back light that made it just bright enough for the group to read the menu but dull enough to give some atmosphere.

"Now that your all seated, my name is Sonya and I'll be waiting on you this fine evening. What can I get you all to drink to start out with?" Being the happy person she is, she smiled and placed her hands on her hips awaiting the drink orders.

"The owner of the store is waiting on us?" Kakuzu raised an eyebrow.

"I try to work just as hard or harder than my employees so they can't b*tch about anything behind my back. Besides, I sent them home after the dinner rush was over. No use paying for work that I can do myself."

"I see... I'd like a coke and a water please." Kakuzu replied. 'A woman just as smart about money as I am. I didn't know they exsisted.'

"A hot tea please," Konan said while looking at the menu.

"Same for me" Pein responded.

"Coke" said Hiden, Kisame, Itachi and Zetzu at the same time, not looking up from the menu.

"I'de like a glass of milk, yeah" Deidera looked up at Sonya with a flirty grin on his face.

"No problem. Let me buss one more table and I'll be back with those and I'll take the rest of your order then too."

With that she left the room to buss some tables. Kisame, curious about the happy woman, looked into the other room to see Sonya easily carrying two very tall piles of plates and bowls into the kitchen. He noticed that she had the strength and grace of a dancer. He shrugged it off and went back to reading the menu.

"Our waitress is nice." Konan says while reading the menu, making idle conversation.

"She's also f*cking hot. With a great *ss. I'm getting a f*cking pizza." Hiden snaps his menu closed.

"It smells like cookies in here. Pizza sound good to me too." Kisame looks around the bakery trying to find the cookies.

"She'd make a good servant." Itach states half to himself.

"No" Kakuzu says still reading the menu.

"If she owns this place, do you think she does all the baking too?" Kisame says still in awe of all the baked goods on the shelves.

*giggles* "Yes I do."

"Ahh!"

"Sorry. Are you all ready to order?" Sonya says as she starts placing the drinks around the table.

"I'd like the chicken stir-fry with extra veggies," Pein hands Sonya the menu and takes a drink of his tea.

"I'd like a chicken salad"

"We need two X-large pizzas. One meat lovers the other veggie." Kisame says grabing the others menus.

"Godd*mnit Kisame! I can f*cking order for myself. I'm a big boy." Hiden said the last part giving Sonya with a lustful smirk.

Sonya just laughed it off and looked towards Deidera for his order.

"I'd like the chili in a bread bowl, yeah." He says smiling at the waitress sweetly.

"And for you handsome?" She asks Kakuzu with a sincere smile.

"The baked spaghetti."

"Excellent choice! You want meatballs and garlic bread with it?"

"Sure"

"Alrighty. This will be up in a jiffy."

Sonya left the room to fill the order with a light sway in her hips. Most of the Akatsuki noticed this and watched with enthusiam. As soon as they were back to normal she returned with a basket of hot, buttery breadsticks for them to share.

"A fine piece of *ss that can cook. I'd tell Jashin to f*ck off if I could have a piece of that." Hiden says between bites of the breadsticks.

"I told you she'd make an excellent servant." Itachi's eyes glare at Kakuzu.

"A woman with that kind of talent would cost a small fortune. So unless you have some of the Uchiha money on you then we can't have her. Just enjoy your meal."

"Let's kidnap her then, yeah?" Deidera says licking his fingers.

"She owns this small business in a small village, she'd be missed you idiot." Pein smacks him upside the head....again.

"A shame really. I'd enjoy her company. Or any female for that matter." Konan remarkes.

"She cleans well," Kisame coments noticing the clean tables in the other room.

"Hush, she's coming back" Black Zetzu hisses.

Sonya walks in with plates and platters balenced perfectly on her hands and forarms with one dish on top of her head. She places the pizzas down first then goes over to Deidera to hand him his chili. With hands now free she sets the salad and stir-fry in front of Pein and Konan. Now only the dish on her head remains. Sonya bends forward to place the platter in front of Kakuzu, giving him and him alone a small veiw of clevage. She winks and then returns to her standing up-right position. She refills the drinks and then leaves a check faced down near Pein and tells them if they need anything just call for her.

"That's it! We're f*cking kidnapping her tonight!" Hiden moans in pleasure from the pizza.

"No, d*mnit! She'd be missed. We'll have to hire her and that will take time so shut up and enjoy your meal." Pein continues to enjoy his stir-fry.

After Pein's small outburst the members of the criminal organization ate in pleasuable silence. The bountiful leftovers were wrapped up and the check paid, the Akatsuki started the walk back to base. Each with their minds in deep thought. Kakuzu was thinking that maybe her being the new servant might be a good thing...
