Nagato had a good feeling about the job interview today, he felt sure that he and his "akatsuki" would finally be hired. He smiled as he ran a comb through his bright hair and thought to himself 'if we get this job, a job for the Hyuuga, no less our reputation will be boosted instantly, and we'll be rich. Word will spread of the amazing skills of the Akatsuki will have to turn down job offers.' Looking at himself in the mirror once more he turned and left. Waiting at the foot of the stairs was his fiancé and business partner Konan, and she gave him a small smile.
"Deidara is going to drive the van today so it probably is best that you don't have anything too heavy for breakfast today." Konan half joked. She was right of course, Deidara's driving is like his art, and you are not safe if you question it.
"Remind me why we let him get his License renewed?" Nagato queried with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Well dear, he did threaten to drive anyway and we can't afford any more tickets." Said Konan quietly, whilst looking at her feet and avoiding eye contact with Nagato, if he found out the group was broke, again, he may go on a violent rampage, but hey, it wouldn't be the first time.
"Surely Kakuzu has some secret volt where he keeps all his money… Where did the money go from our last job?" Nagato asked. If you wanted to borrow money Kakuzu was the guy to go to. The guy was loaded with money, and yet lived in a basic apartment with sparse furniture.
"We all split it and spent it however we wanted to, Remember?" Konan reminded him yet again. There wasn't much money to be had, and the other six had rent to pay weekly.
"Oh yes, that the last time we do that, the money wasn't really enough to be stretched between the eight of us."
"Deidara" Sasori moaned.
"Deidara" Sasori said, this time shaking him. "Come on man, Wake up. This is no time for snoozing. We have a job interview today. Get your lazy butt outta bed, brekkie is ready, it's your favourite" Sasori said dragging out the last syllable. Something suddenly occurred to Sasori and he reached for a glass of water on the bed side table. This was going to be fun.
A sudden alarm brought Hidan screaming into consciousness. What is that, he thought and rolled onto his side, and, through bleary eyes peered at the alarm clock.
"WHAT THE F**K, ITS SEVEN IN THE F*****G MORNING, WHAT SORT OF SADIST WOULD SET THE ALARM FOR SEVEN IN THE F*****G MORNING. I BET IT WAS THAT KAKUZU BASTARD. HOW THE F**K DID HE DO THAT HE HASN'T EVEN BEEN IN MY ROOM, EVER! F**K!" Hidan shrieked to the world, from the comfort of his bed. Good morning to you to Hidan, his neighbours thought as they rolled over and fell back asleep.
"HOLY F**K, the job interview is today. Hidan said, thinking out loud. Then the realization that he had a job interview settled itself into his sub-conscious, and suddenly he was in a huge hurry. Under the large-ish pile of clothes on his floor was a tangle of "nice" clothes that Konan had bought him, so that at the next interview he wouldn't embarrass the group. Well, that wasn't the reasoning Konan gave him but, he had read her face like the open book it was. Then grabbing a pair of pants and a dark button down shirt he crashed down the hall to the bathroom.
Kakuzu was on his way to Nagato and Konan's house when he was suddenly set upon by a large traffic jam.
"Well nothing else for it" he said and turned up the radio
