Chapter 1: Day Off

Deidra sat at the couch in the Akatsuki base's living room. He slowly flipped through the channels on the small television set with one hand and made small clay animals with the other half-mindedly. He was barely aware of his surroundings. That was until Tobi came along.

"ROAR!" screamed Tobi, scaring the explosives expert off the couch and onto the ceiling where he stood upside down. Tobi on the other hand was underneath laughing like a hyena.

"God dammit, Tobi! I'll kill you!" the blonde yelled out his battle cry before launching an assault of small explosives and quick hand-to-hand strikes before hopping back and attacking again. His week's worth of being cooped up in the base had taken a toll and made him extremely irritable.

Tobi just laughed as they fought. "Haha! Deidra-senpai, I though that a ninja like you was skilled enough to not get snuck up on!" He dodged another round of clay grenades in the shape of various birds as they playfully attacked one another.

But, their fun was cut short. "SIT DOWN!" screamed the all powerful voice of Konan. She stood in the corner of the room and was obviously pissed off. "You two immature brats! You almost destroyed the room!" She stalked over to the now frozen ninja.

Deidra had a bomb just in his hand, ready to blow. Tobi had stopped mid-dodge and got part of his clothes singed. And sure enough, the room had a few black marks and scuffs from them running around. All in all Tobi and Deidra would've been proud of their battle. Konan on the other hand, wasn't too happy what-so-ever.

"Either you two are going to clean this up right now or pay for the damage to have it replaced!" Her voice was easily heard through out the base, and today just happened to be the day everyone was home. Not a single member went without knowing about the incident that morning.

"We're sorry, Konan-sama!" Tobi and Deidra bowed to her, begging for her forgiveness. Well, sort of. As soon as she got close enough the blonde through his last explosive and Tobi broke left, distracting her long enough to allow a swift escape.

"YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!" Konan's cry caused the base to shudder. Normally she was a lot calmer, but hey, it was that time of month again. No wander Tobi and Deidra wanted to get out of there. Unfortunately for the other members, that meant she would play the roll of slave driver on them...again.

-Forest-

The blonde and masked ninja were in a small clearing of the forest on their backs laughing harder then they could imagine. "I can't-gasp-believe-gasp-you just did that Deidra-senpai!" Tobi choked out between giggles.

"I know-snicker-great one-snicker snicker-lolly pop face, hn!" Deidra felt better know that he'd gotten rid of most of his pent up energy. He let a smile spread itself across his face. He looked up, noticing that it was only morning. "Hey, Tobi, we have the rest of the day to ourselves. Wanna hang out?"

Let's face it, when they weren't on missions and weren't under "adult" supervision, they were still a teenager and child at heart. Hey, you can't blame them can you?

Tobi let himself calm down before answering. "I don't know about you," he took out a fat wallet. "But, I had plans to do something fun today! Maybe even hit the stores in town?" You could tell that beneath the maske he was smiling ear to ear. And Deidra knew exactly why.

His eyes glinted as he pulled out his full wallet and checked his near full bags of clay. "Mwahahaha, time to pull some pranks and have a day to pig out!" They sped off excited to finally get out of the house, especially with the Witch-er-Konan, there waiting.

-Noon-

The two companions sat in the park, stuffed from the vendors, still randomly giggling from the pranks they'd pulled and watching the other people go about their business, completely ignoring them. By now the town's people were used to these trouble-makers and had given up complaining to Pein and Konan about it.

"Hey," Deidra started, "think it's safe to go back?" He mused the idea of going home and relaxing in his room the rest of the day doing sculptures that he'd take out and detonate in a few days with Tobi.

"Okay!" Tobi on the other hand was pondering how much of his stowed away candy from last Halloween he should eat. Then again, he still had an entire room somehow hidden, so it didn't really matter how much it was that he devoured.

They got up and began walking back towards the base with empty wallets, an empty pouch of clay and full stomachs.

They'd decided to cut across the forest again and were a good ways in when they noticed something. But, before they could react, they were caught in the trap. Apparently, the Witch wasn't letting this one go today. Wait, did I say Witch again? Well, that's what Konan's name should be!

Well, let's go ahead and just say that they didn't make it back to the base. And Konan had a fun time torturing them. Not to mention the fact that by the time they got back they'd missed dinner and weren't getting any. Darn, shouldn't have gotten caught then!

But, little did the know, their lives were about to change the very next day. And neither one were prepared for it in any way.

Next Chapter: Stranger in the Dark

Well, the first chapter was just fun loving goof-balls. Don't worry though, there's an actual story line with a conflict and everything. Oh yeah, the later chapters might not be as funny or humorous. I only made this one to make a foundation to work on.
