A/N: Before I'm asked I want to make mention of where I am getting age factors for this fic. To start in regular Naruto it is said/mentioned 'that it has been almost 7 years since we have all been gathered like this' which indicates that all the current members at that time including Deidara, Hidan and Itachi were all with the Akatsuki almost for 7 years now, minimum. At that time Sakura/Ino would have been 12/13 depending on birthdays, etc. So, it means that all of the members would have already been there when they are 6/7, and also Hidan was the last member to be recruited.

I read that Hidan's ages is 22 in shippuden? or somewhere near that, that would put him at the age of 15/16ish when he joined the Akatsuki, if that is accurate age for him and he is really 22. Also, with Deidara, he is supposed to be 17 in Naruto, and 19 in Shipp, but that would mean he was 10ish when he was recruited, with the almost 7 years that was mentioned. Which is possible since it is said he was the youngest memeber. Also, Itachi is my biggest confusion. I read he is only 5 years older than Sasuke. And that he is 20/21 ish in Shipp (5 years older than Sasuke). but that would mean that at the time they were last assembled, almost 9 years before Shipp (add in the almost 7 and the 2 year time lapse (almost 3) between the series, a guestimate. It would put his age at 11/12 ish when he was already with the Akatsuki? Which he did kill his clan when Sasuke was 6ish or so. Still, even if he was only 11 when he killed his clan or near 12, give or take, WTF? The images, or how he is potrayed, he is almost the same size/height as he is when he is 21. The Itachi in the flashbacks of the slaying, he is not 10 or 11 years old, no way. At the start of the series Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke are supposed to be 12ish. Anyone else see the difference in the age portrayal? Itachi looks to be 14/15 minimum during that time. IMO a more accurate age would be 24/25 in shipp, or he was one pre-teen that was very very matured for his age, and he just didn't hit his last few growth spurts.

Okay, I've rambled enough here. Itachi's age has just always confused me though. This will be a Hidan/Ino and Sakura/Deidara fic. Before you read, I must add that I've watched the subbed version of Shipp, not the dub. In the subtitles and by listening to Deidara speak, every once in a while he will make the hnnn/hmmm noise after speaking. I only heard it a few times. But I've read fics where he says it after almost every sentence or a lot. Sorry, if you like reading/seeing him doing it alot but it won't happen in my fic. It will be done/said occassionally, as I saw/heard/read in the subbed anime.

Warnings: Some violence in this chapter.

Chapter One

"I like this one," It was the prettiest one so far. Sakura Haruno laughed, seeing the peeved look of the blonde girl crouching nearby. She had found it first and it was going into her basket. Only a few more and they'd be done. So far she had mostly lilies and tulips collected. She didn't have a good eye for flowers, not like Ino. For a six year old, there was nothing more important than finding the prettiest flowers to arrange. She had to make hers better than the other girls.

"Let's grab a few gardenia, Sakura." Ino pointed towards the flowers in question that were resting closer towards the forest edge. All the other girls had gone home for the day but she wasn't ready to return. The only thing waiting for her at home was fighting and chores. She'd have to help with the dishes after dinner then listen to her parents. She didn't understand what they were talking about but it was never good when her father raised his voice like that. Things like 'having an empty bed' and 'needing phyisical relieve' made no sense to her. How could her mother be sleeping in an empty bed when she was sleeping in it? What was physicial relief? Was it something like going to the bathroom? Whenever all three of them would sit down to dinner, a dish would always end up broke. They weren't her pink set so she didn't care but she would always be the one left to clean up because both of them would leave. Mother would always slam the door to the bedroom and Father would leave, only to come home later that night smelling like the meat she had accidently left in her room for a month.

"Be careful," Sakura followed slowly behind her friend. They were the only ones still out in the field and it was starting to get dark. Her parents would be angry if she didn't return home soon. They were always angry these days. Not at each other like Ino's, but at her. No matter what she did, Mother was always yelling at her. She never completed her chores fast enough. How many more flowers should they pick? "How many more?"

"Six!" Just like how old she was. Ino grabbed one that was in bloom and grinned. She had gotten the biggest one. Why was Sakura constantly looking around? What was there to be afraid of? They were close to the village and one day they were both going to be shinobi of the leaf. "Oh, wow, do you see that?"

"Huh?" Sakura didn't see anything but it had to be important with how fast Ino dropped the basket. Just as her friend crouched down on all fours to reach into the bushes, the sound of clashing caught her ears. What was that noise? "Do you hear that?"

"Almost, almost there." Just a bit further and, "I got it. Wow, do you see this? It's over three hundred. We can buy lots of candy with this. This is so cool! Someone must have dropped it."

"Oh, wow!" Sakura eyed the waving paper in delight. They could go get them some snacks with that. Her parents never let her have snacks. They never let her do anything fun anymore. The only free time she had was during class. For the last two months there had been something called a 'lock down'. She wondered if it had anything to do with Sasuke's family getting killed. "But why would someone drop it? They might want it back."

"Hmm, you know, I do hear something. I wonder if it is the person that dropped this." With a shrug, she stuffed the paper in her pocket and ducked beneath the bushes to follow the sound of the noise. What was going on? Who else was out here? It couldn't be anyone bad, no one would come this close to their village. "Come on, Sakura."

"I'm coming." Why were they going to inspect the scary noises? It sounded like fighting. They could get hurt or get yelled at. Her parents would get angry if she went too far. Then she'd be grounded and would have double chores. "We'll get in trouble if we go too far."

"Stop being a baby and move it. We need to get closer." Ino waved for her friend to stop as they neared the edge of the bushes. In the clearing up ahead, there were six men, all wearing Leaf protectors fighting against two. The group was fighting off invaders, it was so cool. It was better than watching her father fighting. The bad men were wearing strange black robes with funny clouds on them. "Sakura, look over there."

She saw it, it was where the candy money had come from. The briefcase was filled with wads of it but one of the paper wraps had been sliced through. Four rows down, six across and it probably was deep enough to have a bottom layer. That was a lot of money to be on the ground. What were they doing with it? Who were they and what were they doing this close?

"Go get it! They won't notice." She wanted that money! Ino eyed the gift that was just sitting there, begging to be taken. With that she could give it to her parents and they could stop fighting. Her Mom wouldn't have a reason to yell if they had that much. Her Father wouldn't have to take so many missions and the bed wouldn't be empty or something like that. Then the accusations of 'sneaking around' would stop. It was all foolish anyways. Why would her Mother sneak anywhere? She wasn't a thief or a shinobi, so she had never been taught how to sneak. Why sneak? One would always get to their destination if they just ran to start with. She needed that money. Of course, she'd give Sakura a little bit of it.

"No, it isn't ours and I'm scared." It probably belonged to the bad men and she wasn't going to steal it from them. What if they were seen? The one with green hair looked normal but the other looked like a monster. There was something wrong with him. "You do it, I double dare you. If you want it, you go get it."

"Fine, I will." They didn't need it and Finders Keepers. Ino gulped seeing the strange man knocking back one of the shinobi. None of them were looking their way so this would be easy. She just had to get that money so her parents would stop fighting. It had to belong to the bad men because no one in their village was that rich. She crept out of the bushes and closer to the suitcase.

What was that little brat doing? Kakuzu tightened his fingers around the meaty throat held in his palm. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the flash of blonde and the slamming of the briefcase echoed in his ear. The little tart had just ran off with his bounty. Who did she think she was? He sent his hand to pierce the chest of the nearest victim, leaving only the remaining two that were fighting his partner. "I'll leave this to you."

The rustling of the bushes let him know where the little thief had ran off to. He leapt through the air to land on the tree branch and followed the noise the pest was making. Finally, in the next clearing, not one but two little brats stumbled out gasping for air. He crouched on the limb and peered down at the two.

"I can't believe you did that, Ino. You could have been killed. It won't do you any good when you're dead."

"I'm not dead, they were too busy to notice us. Besides, I need it. Don't you know how important money is? Why do you think everyone works? Why we shinobi do missions?" The blonde chit was clutching his money to her chest. "Did you notice how much it was?"

"I'm not stupid, of course I did. Twenty million, less depending on how much blew away from that torn bundle. I'm just not sure we should take someone's money. What if they come looking for it?"

"They can't find us, we got away without being noticed. I'll just fight them for it."

Interesting, how had they managed to count it so quickly? The blonde child hadn't had much time to figure out exactly what was in the briefcase. Did they do the math with just a glance? Not even he could do that. They had some guts stealing from him. What were two children doing out this far?

"With this money my father won't have to go on so many missions. This much money is always worth steal or fighting for. We should head back before the shinobi finish with them."

Finish them? What naïve little pests. Children of shinobi most likely from their attitudes and the comment. Which gave him an idea, a good one. He had been told to keep an eye out for any possible recruits. They probably wouldn't be much good in a fight but he could use at least one of them. Having to deal with the books could be hectic at times. Every time he got sent on a mission, he'd be up to his neck in paperwork when he returned. If they could recruit a little fuck that liked to blow things up, then he could bring someone back to help him keep their finances in order. Should he take the blonde or the other? Or both? He didn't know much about children.

They appeared to be close from the way they walked next to each other. Perhaps by taking both, it would be easier to control them. They could keep each other company whenever he went on missions. He could teach them what was expected of them and the importance of money.

Kakuzu leapt down and landed in front of the two children. They screamed at his sudden appearance forcing him to silence them. His hands grabbed them behind the neck and squeezed hard enough to make them black out. His money fell to the ground in a hard thump at his feet. What to do with two little thieves? It would take some time before he could teach them how to keep up with the finances. They were both female, he could find uses for them. Someone in that damn hideout needed to learn how to cook and females were natural housekeepers.

"What are you going to do with them?"

He turned to glare at the man he was slowly deciding to eliminate. The idiotic bastard had only been with him for a month and he was already tired of him. Did the prick really expect him to remember his name when he didn't plan on letting the fool live that long? There was only so much gay, prissy, twirling he could withstand. "Take them."

"Whatever for? They will only get in the way and they are atrocious to behold." The long green hair was flicked back in a girly manner, not befitting for a member of the Akatsuki.

Was he being questioned? Kakuzu rolled his eyes as his threads pierced the pale throat making the next complaint come out in a gurgling noise. He didn't really care what else his partner had been about to say. Where did they find these recruits? When would they give him a partner he wouldn't want to kill? The cocksucker fell to the ground while clutching his throat.

Both children were tossed over an arm and he grabbed his money with the other. It was time to head back to the hideout. If they bothered to ask why he decided to bring back the two, he would just have to inform them that his partner fell tragically in battle.

.

"What do you care?" Kakuzu flipped to the next page of the ledge without gracing the stupid question with an answer. If they could recruit, so could he and he would make good use of the two sleeping peacefully on the cot. It wasn't often that many of the members were all here at one time. Everyone had things they were doing and they would learn their place. There was nothing wrong with having two young females in their hideout. He couldn't say for sure what kind of shinobi they would become but he wasn't particularly interested in their fighting skills just yet.

"It could become a problem." Sasori wasn't going to argue over just how the man's last partner fell in battle. He wouldn't be shocked if it had been by Kakuzu's hand or threads. The man didn't have any patience, so why bring in two children? What was the man thinking? Deidara was an exception. The boy was to eventually replace Orochimaru and already showed great talent. These two were nothing more than sniveling brats.

"I will deal with it." They wouldn't be that much of a problem. He would teach them how to behave befitting a member of the Akatsuki. The sooner he could teach them to organize the books, he could concentrate on finding ways to bring in more funds. He was tired of the members bitching about having food and supplies but they didn't do much to bring in money to purchase the items. Everything cost money and they needed to stop pestering him about what he was doing.

"Are you planning on bedding them?" Why else would he bring them here? Was someone like Kakuzu still a slave to the flesh?

"Get out!" That was disgusting and he wouldn't listen to such nonsense. He had no desires to bed anyone. If he wanted a whore, he'd go find one. The only problem with whores was they cost money and he loathed to waste any of it on something so meaningless and intangible.

The slamming of the door announced the departure of the bulky figure. Only the blonde child stirred from the noise. He'd keep them in his rooms for now. There was a bathroom for their use and he didn't trust them not to try and run. He'd hadn't bothered to cart them all the way back to the hideout to let them run off. He would have to keep them away from several of the others as well. He didn't trust that fish bastard not to take a bite.

He already had a list of chores for them to do when they woke. Sometime during his absence the newest recruit had caused a bomb to go off and it had caused part of the ceiling to fall down onto his papers. The stacks were in complete disarray and he hated disorder. He was sure the two could manage to put them all back in order according to the date. Someone would need to sweep the floor and the bathroom could use a good washing. All girls knew how to cook so he should be able to fire the maid soon in order to save some money.

"I'm coming inside."

"Suit yourself," Kakuzu didn't care either way. As long as the young brat wasn't going to complain against his new help. He wasn't going to get rid of them and he didn't have time to explain himself to every damn member of this organization. What the hell was the Uchiha doing here? Had that bitch, Sasori, complained on the way out?

"I see that Sasori spoke the truth, you really did bring children back with you." Itachi looked down at the two children. They looked familar. Where had he seen them from? The duo had been in Konoha to complete a mission. What else had they done while there? That was it, he had seen them playing with his brother once while on the playground. The man had actually stolen two of Konoha's children. "That could cause problems, the blonde there belongs to the Yamanaka clan."

"Am I supposed to feel threatened by that information? If that is all you have to say then you should get the hell out. I have work to do and you are getting on my nerves." He didn't care what clan she was from. They couldn't care too much about these children if they were that far from the village without supervision.

"No, I've been sent to tell you that we have located another member. You will be needing a new partner since your last one was killed." Or simply disposed of. Itachi tried not to show that he was somewhat relieved that the man was no longer with them. He would never wish ill upon another but that one had made his skin crawl. No man should look at him while sucking on candy that way. The hungry gazes unnerved him to great ends. He wasn't the newest member of the Akatsuki, having been amongst them for months now, but he still didn't have the authority to dictate who was recruited.

"Then go fetch him, I have things to take care of." Like wake those two and give them instructions. He hated coming back to a mess. Perhaps later he would go speak to that new member and instruct him on how important it was NOT to fuck up his paperwork.

"We already have and he is one has great potential when it comes to being your partner." If the rumors were true then the man was immortal. The others were getting tired of the man slaying his partners. "He is standing outside in the hall, I'll have him come in shortly to be introduced."

"Whatever, I don't care." With a nod the Uchiha waved to someone. A new partner? As long as it wasn't someone gay, loud, crude or stupid. If it was any of those things, he'd kill them. With a heavy sigh, he turned towards the two still sleeping to find that one had woken up sometime during that small exchange. The blonde girl was finally awake and looking at him with an expression mixed with fear and curiosity. "Don't think of screaming, it will only piss me off."

Where were they? Ino knew not to open her mouth, seeing the scary man watching her. They weren't in Konoha, she knew it immediately. It was the same one that had suddenly appeared in front of them. He hadn't hurt them? Besides being a bit sleepy, she was okay. Sakura was snoring softly in front of her, but she was okay too. This bad man had escaped those other shinobi, he had to be super strong.

"Shut the fuck up, I'm going." The door slapped further open and bounced into the wall. A new bad man was in the doorway, kind of. He wasn't that old at all, or he didn't look old. His age was probably around fourteen or fifteen.

"Huh?" A hand clamped over Sakura's mouth as she tried to sit up. Her eyes began to focus on the two men. The wierd one from the forest was starting to stand and took two steps away from the desk. There wasn't much light in the place but she quickly realized that they were in trouble. The shushing noise beside her was Ino, they had been taken by the bad man. Neither of the two looked friendly and from the mean looks, they weren't the happy kind of people either. What was going to happen to them?

"Heh, so you're this Kakuzu I've been hearing about. You don't look like anything special to me. I was told you were strong. No one said you'd be so fucking ugly. I'm seriously supposed to stare at your damn face everyday? I'll be lucky if I can keep breakfast down each morning."

"My beauty is irrelevant when it comes to being your partner. We've been introduced, now get the hell out of my quarters." Kakuzu didn't like him already. The little shit had some nerve talking to him that way. He'd just wait until no one was around to get rid of him.

"Kakuzu, this is Hidan, your new partner." Itachi was glad it wasn't him that was being stuck with the foul-mouth shinobi. He got on just fine with Kisame so far. These two were surely going to be like oil and water and neither could be slain. This could be interesting. "I'll leave you two alone to get acquainted."

"I said to get out, I have things to do." Like handle the two that had woken up and were watching in fear. If they began to panic and scream, he would have to snap their necks to end the noise. What a waste that would be.

"Not yet, I've been told to inform you that I need to get some new weapons. Give me some damn money, you ugly fuck." Hidan crossed his arms and waited. This was really the one that handle their funds? How smart could he be? Why was a mummy running things? As long as the bastard gave him enough to purchase some new swords, he didn't care. Perhaps, a scythe would be a good investment as well.

"Get a damn job, this isn't a charity." It was confirmed, he was going to kill him at the first available opportunity. There was no way he'd be able to handle someone so loud on a daily basis. Were they trying to punish him for slaying so many of his partners? The next was always more annoying than the previous.

"Give me some money, I need a new weapon. I was told to get it from here." Hidan tilted his head hearing the small squeak. What the hell were brats doing here? The one with pink hair was already crying in fear. The little blonde was glaring at him, just like the mummy bastard. What was up with those arms anyways? "I see, I can't get money for a weapon but you're charitable enough to take care of two brats."

"Those brats may be young but they have already shown to have more intelligence than you seem to possess." A lot more. This one had to be really stupid if he thought he was intimidating with that little sword. Another minute and he was just going to kill him now.

"Who you calling stupid, you ugly mummy fuck? Why don't I just take what I want?" Hidan eyed the several suitcases that had to contain the money. He'd just take what he wanted and get his weapon made. Killing was getting annoying with the basic weapons he'd been given in his former village.

"You brought this upon yourself." Kakuzu heard the Uchiha pause in the hall and take a step back. He would get severely lectured if he accidently killed someone else's partner. His shoulder slammed into the annoying prick that didn't know when to shut up. The threads pierced the scrawny neck as they hit the far wall inside the hallway.

They were fighting! Ino removed her hand from Sakura's mouth to lean forward on the cot to get a better look. Was the loud one dead? No, the hand was bringing the blade up to try slicing through the bad man that had taken them. Then the scary one was out of view. As she blinked the young one was punched and came skidding into the room. He fell to knees nearby but was getting back up. Having him in the room was scarier than the ugly one. Sakura's hand touched her back, having the same thoughts.

"Hn, you can't kill me, you ass-faced cocksucker." Hidan couldn't believe he had attacked him like that. The freak didn't know who he was messing with. The gasp drew his attention back to the bed, "Fine, I'll just kill your ass and I'll make sure to tear your little bitches apart as well. Maybe then you'll be able to afford to pay once you don't have to feed two little brats. That's right, you hear me?"

What? The man was no longer looking at them but the finger was pointing back at them. Ino knew he was talking about her and Sakura. Why would he want to hurt children? She scrambled forward on the bed and reached for the oil lamp the strange one had been using to read with. The mean man was laughing at something only he had heard and found to be funny. Sakura was telling her not to do it. The lamp crossed the room and missed! It had went too low and hit him in the back but not his head where she had been aiming.

"Owe, fuck that is hot!" Hidan screeched as the heat intensified against his back. What the hell? His back was on fire! When had that happened? He turned to see the oil lamp rolling near his feet. "Put it out, put it out!"

"Get out!" Kakuzu made sure to kick directly into the growing flames, sending the annoyance out of the room and through the hallway wall. The others could deal with him. Where had they managed to drag up that one? The door slammed shut in the Uchiha's face ending the discussion. He bent down to retrieve his favorite lamp. It was tempered glass so it hadn't shattered upon impact but a good bit of the oil had managed to spill out. The flame had gone out as well. "Do not worry, it didn't shatter."

"Um, okay." Would she have gotten in trouble if it had? Ino was glad that the other one was gone. This one didn't look ready to hurt them. He had also gotten rid of the one that said he was going to kill them. She had stolen from him and he didn't seem angry. Maybe if she gave him back his money, he'd let them go. She dug inside her pocket to find the three crinkled bills and hopped off of the bed. "Here, you can have it back."

When had she gotten those? It was the missing three hundred he had been searching for. Both were watching to see what he would do. Normally, he would remove someone's head for stealing from him. "Keep it, you just earned it by helping me get rid of that annoying prick without resorting to killing him. Go sit back down, I will go fetch you something to eat."

"Here is another one," Sakura handed the sheet of paper to Ino who had the proper stack in front of her. The work was turning out to be more boring than hard. It wasn't really hard to seperate them by the date. Most of the day had been spent and they had them almost all done by months and the year. Next they would have to do them all by the days, then put all of them in proper order. Working together was making it easier. The scary man that said his name was Kakuzu had told them to behave and do what he said or they'd be punished. Why did adults keep giving them chores? At least he hadn't punished them by denying them food earlier when she had accidently knocked the stack he was working on over. He had calmly restacked them and told her to be more careful lest she make more work for herself.

"Here is a July," her fingers were hurting but it was better than being dead. Ino grabbed the next paper and put it in with the December stack for last year. Why did the man keep so many papers? He had said something earlier about liking things orderly. "I wonder if he is really going to bring us some cake."

"Cake? Shouldn't we go home? Our parents are going to be angry." She wanted to go home, she didn't like it there. There was a lot of noise and she was sure she had seen a shark walking around on legs! This place was scary and was just a bunch of bad men in girly cloaks. "I want to go home. Lets run away."

"Why and go where?" Ino turned to her friend, who had stopped working to pout. Didn't she get it? "We have no idea where we are. That man is an elite shinobi, do you have any idea how fast they can run? What if he used a teleportition jutsu?"

"You mean teleportation jutsu and we should still go home. I'm going to be grounded now. My mom gets mad really easy and she already said that you are a bad influence." Sakura wanted to go home before she got grounded for thirty years.

"I'm smart enough to know that we can't run." She wasn't a bad influence but her Father had always taught her to think each situation out and then decide the wisest course of action. "Even if we could find our way out of here past all of the bad men, we don't know where we are. We would die in the woods. Monsters, ghosts and bandits are in the woods. We'd get lost since we don't know where we are."

"Oh, right." Sakura didn't want to run into any monsters. If they couldn't go home on their own, then what were they supposed to do? "Then what do we do? I don't like it here. Kakuzu seems okay but that one said he was going to hurt us."

"We will be strong and wait to be rescued. My father should be able to find us so for now we do what we are told and survive. I don't think he will kill us as long as we behave and do what he says. If he wanted to kill us, he would have done it in the forest." Ino grabbed a fresh stack and looked at the sheet of paper. "I don't like it either but I was always told to be strong and not to die needlessly."

"You're smart, Ino." Sakura nodded and reached for the next stack as well. The man had given them food and had promised to return with more. "But what if they don't find us?"

"Then we get stronger and do whatever it takes to survive. We are already in the academy so we are kunoichi. We will stick together no matter what happens." They had no one but each other in this place. "We also stick close to Ka..."

BOOM! The noise echoed through the walls causing the stacks to shake in the wake. Sakura placed her hands on the nearest ones to prevent them from toppling over. A far stack toppled but remained in a compressed pile on the floor. Another loud bang a bit further away was heard and then the shouting began. The one that sounded like the mean man from earlier was laughing but didn't stop at their door. "Are we under attack? Think it is our parents?"

"No," they would never resort to blowing the place up when children were inside. The door swung open and quickly closed. Someone with long blonde hair stepped inside without bothering to knock first. The girl didn't even bother to speak to them, she rushed by and ran to the shelf. The room only had one window, too small for even them to fit through. The girl was a bit older and had on one of those silly cloaks. She swore then rushed back over, to head towards the other door. There was nothing in that room but Kakuzu's bed chambers. In the process of going through, the rude girl managed to knock over the five stacks Sakura had perfectly arranged. "Look what you did!"

It was all ruined. Sakura felt the tears beginning to fall as the work she had done toppled to the floor without care. The girl hadn't even bothered to look where she was going. That was so mean and cruel, "You ruined it! I'm gonna get in trouble."

"What? Shut up!"

"How dare you!" Ino couldn't believe the nerve of the girl. She leapt at the girl's back as she turned to leave the room. It wasn't right to make a mess then act like you did nothing wrong. The girl hit the floor with a loud thump, face first and began to scream. There was plenty of hair for her to grab onto and begin pulling. The piercing scream echoed in the room when Sakura decided to join in and started punching the girl in the back wherever both fists could reach. The cracking sound made her stomach turn and the intruder hollered. The blood only got on the floor and the mean girl grabbed her own face.

"What the hell is going on here?" Kakuzu reached out to grab both children. Well, he had found Deidara. The boy was swearing and rolled over cupping his face. This place was a damn mess, again! "What are you doing in my room?"

"She made a mess, Kakuzu-san!" Ino addressed him so as a show of respect in the hopes he wouldn't get angry with them. "We were almost done and she ran inside and knocked everything over."

"She did, did she?" The little prick needed to be taken down a peg or two. The others might overlook the explosions but no one messed with his finances. If he couldn't kill the punk, he'd teach him a lesson. "Deidara, I don't remember giving you permission to run into my quarters. I am not Sasori, I don't have the patience to deal with your antics. You will stop your sniveling and help them straighten up the mess you just made. If you so much as step out of this room without it being finished, I'll remove your damn head."
