An Announcement

Deidara sat down, elbows on his knees and chin in his hands, and let out a huge sigh. "My life sucks, un."

"Don't say that, Deidara-sempai."Tobi moved closer to Deidara and put his arm around him.

"Go AWAY, un, Tobi."

Tobi hastily scooted away and pouted under his riduculously orange mask. "But Zetsu-san says Tobi is a good boy."

Deidara stood up, brushing imaginary dust off of himself as he did so. "Zetsu can go die in a weed killer infested hole for all I care, un!"

Tobi got up, too, and gasped. "Deidara-sempai! Why are you in such a bad mood today?"

Deidara threw his arms up in frustration. "I told you! 'Cause my life SUCKS, un!!"

"Whyyyyyyy, Deidara-sempai?"

Deidara glared at Tobi, who immediatley stopped his whining. "Because I'm stuck with an annoying partner who talks in third person, un."

"D-Deidara-sempai…" Tobi's voice sounded sad . . . tearful, even.

Deidara ignored Tobi's obvious depleted enthusiasm. "And the only other artistic person, well, puppet, here got KILLED, un!"

"Tobi is sorry, Deidara-sempai-"

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EFFIN' LONELY I AM?!"

"What about the other Akatsuki members?"

"THEY'RE ALL FREAKS, UN!"

By this time Deidara and Tobi had wandered back into Akatsuki headquarters.

"Ahem. Freak speaking."

Deidara and Tobi looked from their increasingly loud conversation, the latter freezing in place.

"Eh, Konan-san… I, um, er, un-"

Konan rolled her eyes. "Forget it. Pein wants to talk to us. We're having the meeting in the living room, like always."

This news seemed to cheer up Tobi drastically, for under his mask he beamed and said, "Tobi likes meetings!"

Deidara slapped the back of Tobi's head before turning to face Konan again. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. He just wanted to tell us about a new member we're getting." Konan immediatley stalked off, mumbling under her breath. "Idiots. I hope it's a girl."

Tobi let out a girl-ish giggle. "Tobi REALLY likes meetings!"

Deidara thumped Tobi's head again. "Shut up and c'mon. Let's go, un."

Deidara started walking. as Tobi skipped ahead. "La la la."

The bomb artist shook his head. "Idiot."


The Akatsuki base living room was just like any other. It had one huge curved couch were all of the members could sit. In front of the couch there was a long graffiti-covered coffee table. And in front of that, a flat screen T.V. Right behind the living room is the kitchen. The kitchen has a refrigerator and another table (an eating table). Needless to say, that table had blood stains because of Zetsu.

After everyone was seated on couch, minus Pein, black smoke started rolling into the room.

"Ugh! I HATE it when he uses these fucking dramatic entrances of his!" complained Hidan from the end of the couch.

There was a flash of lightening.

"Aaahhhh!!" Tobi jumped into Itachi's lap, the Uchiha immediatley dropped Tobi on the floor causing Deidara to snicker.

"This meeting starts now." Pein entered the room floating on a cloud of smoke, hands folded behind his back.

"As Konan may have told you-" He glared daggers at Konan breifly. She shrugged it off. "We are going to have a new Akatsuki member." He paused a momentbefore adding, "It will be a girl."

"YES!" Konan jumped up from the couch and punched the air. "I'm not gonna be the only girl!"

When she realized that everyone else, including Pein, was staring at her Konan sat back down on the couch, smiling an evil smile to herself. It made all the other Akatsuki scoot a little further away from here when she sat down.

"Ahem" Everyone once again turned their attention back to Pein. "Any questions?"

Tobi waved his hand violently in the air. "Oooh! Oooh! Me! Tobi has a question!"

Pein sighed. "Yes, Tobi?"

"What's her name?"

Pein looked down at a piece of paper on a clipboard he was carrying. "It says here her name is... Kazami, Suki."

Thehyper criminal smiled to himself. "Tobi thinks that's a pretty name!"

Deidara hit Tobi a third time. "Shut up, un."

"I have a question."

Glad to have someone other than idiot to answer, Pein turned towards the very end of the couch (not the side with Hidan, the other one). "Yes, Zetsu?"

The plant nin's black half spoke up this time. "What experience does she have?"

"Um, none actually. You will all be expected to train her. She has basic ninja skills, but no evil background to work from whatsoever. She will be here tomorrow morning and will go to whichever pair of partners I feel like."

The whole couch let out a loud groan.

Pein turned and reached for the door leading to his hallway which in turn lead to his room. But, before he did, he faced them again. "Oh, and I forgot to mention," a terrible, EVIL smile crept onto his pierced features. He took one step out the door before continuing. "She's an Akatsuki fangirl." Pein then promptly slammed the door shut behind him.

There was a long silence, and then Hidan broke it with what everyone was thinking. "Oh, shit."

Tobi tugged on his Sempai's cloak's sleeve."What's a fangirl, Deidara-sempai?"

The blond pushed Tobi off of him and started to chew his nails. "Not now, un. I'm panicking."

Kisame turned to Itachi. "What if leader sends her to US first?!" Kisame grabbed Itachi by the collar and started shaking him. "I'LL GO MAD, ITACHI! MAD!!"

Kakuzu clutched his wad of money tightly. "She won't get any of MY money! No!"

Hidan started stabbing himself in the chest while murmuring to Jashin and stumbled backwards into Konan, causing them both to fall to the floor. While everyone was yelling and panicking Konan was just getting redder and redder.

The bluenette finally threw Hidan off of her. "EVERYBODY JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, ALREADY!"

Everyone looked at her, shocked.

Konan was so mad she that was seething. "If you'll all just SHUT UP I will talk to Pein and try to persuade him to let this Suki person stay in my room first!"

Itachi threw himself to the floor and kissed Konan's feet. "THANK YOU! You have no idea what fangirls put me through!"

Konan simply rolled her eyes and kicked Itachi off. "It's just ONE girl. Gosh."

She then left the living room through the same door that Pein had. A long, dark hallway lay ahead of her, filled with shadow. "Hm. Figures." She glided along the floor, stopping right outside of his bedroom door.

"Pein-kun?" She called out in a girlish, innocent voice. "Could you do me a favor, please?"

There was a small pause as Pein got up and opened his bedroom door. "What?"

Konan had let down her blue hair and it fell in front of her face in a very . . . hot way. "I wanna be the first to train Suki-san."

Pein's face flushed. "B-but, I was going to . . . to . . . to have her torture Itachi and Kisame first . . ."

Pein's hand was still on the door knob when Konan placed hers on top of his. "Pleeeeeeeeease, Pein-kun?" She looked into his rin'nengan eyes, letting a pout grace her lips. "It would mean a lot to me."

"W-well, okay, Konan-chan."

Konan smiled that evil smile of hers. "Good." Then Konan shut the door, locking her and Pein inside.


Tobi bounded down one of the many hallways in the Akatsuki base. "Deidara-sempai?"

The addressed stopped walking and turned around towards the voice, his face buried in literature. "Hmmm?"

Tobi caught up to Deidara and started bouncing in place. "What do you think Leader-sama and Konan-chan are doing?"

Deidara looked up from his book, 101 Ways to Blow Something Up, and saw Tobi's disappearing form running back down the hallway. With a sigh Deidara closed his book amd followed after the man. When he finally caught up (he was walking at a slow pace, not to eager to follow Tobi) Tobi was standing very closely in front of a bedroom door.

Even from his place a few feet away Deidara could hear the noises coming from the room. Shriek. "Pein!" "It's okay, Konan-chan." Shriek (again).

Deidara's one visible blue eye widened. "TOBI! Step away from that door, un, and stop listening!"

Tobi stepped away and and was dragged further away by his partner. "So what was Konan-chan doing? Her's and Leader-sama's chakra levels were going CRAZY!"

Deidara stopped, mid-drag, and pondered how to answer this question. "She was. . . un . . . persuading Leader-sama so that we wouldn't be stuck with a fangirl first thing tomorrow morning."

"That's nice of her."

The artist resumed dragging Tobi down tha hallway. "Un."


A/N: See, isn't it much better now that it's been revised? I think so
