What the Akatsuki Do When They're Bored
Itachi
It was a stormy day. Most of the Akatsuki were out on the move, and only Itachi was left to guard their hideout. Itachi was bored, watching T.V. all day (when the cable was out) was quite the adventure. Itachi was sprawled out on the couch with a bowl half filled with popcorn sitting on his stomach. He was also half asleep, but vaguely aware of his surroundings. The pounding rain outside was what was keeping him from his slumber. Itachi sighed and then sat up, spilling the popcorn in the process.
"What to do?" Itachi thought to himself. He looked down at the spilt popcorn and walked down the hall, not bothering to clean it up. He was going to head into the kitchen to get some ramen, but stopped by Kisame's room.
"Hmmm. It's a mess in here, well let me clean it up." Itachi said out loud. He stepped in the cluttered room, but was instantly distracted by the mirror. His image was displayed on the metal surface.
"I must do something with my hair." He thought and began rummaging through Kisame's stuff. He picked up the old food, and other trash, and burned it with Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu. With the rest of the stuff scattered out on the floor, Itachi neatly put it back in its rightful place. Itachi made Kisame's bed, polished the window, and categorized his books. Itachi took a good look around the now clean room then started to leave, but stopped when he spotted Kisame's fish.
It really freaked him out.
First of all, its name was Scratch, which is an odd name for a fish. The way the gold fish was blue instead of orange disturbed Itachi the most, though. And the way its tail fin was rather ripped and torn was also frightening. It was also fat. Kisame over fed the fish. He fed it three times a day, when he was only supposed to feed it once a day. The fish was also seven years old. Kisame won it at a carnival during his first years in the Akatsuki. Though there was one good thing from the nightmare fish. The blue, torn, fat, old fish could do tricks. Kisame found that one out when the fish was two years old. He was just messing around, saying that the fish was retarded and that it couldn't do tricks. So Kisame told it to flip and it did.
Scratch did a flip for Itachi. He threw in some food and left after that. Itachi found himself walking down the long hallway to the kitchen again. He glanced over to the right side of the hallway to look at one of the paintings Pein put up. It was of a little girl, she was in a forest. There wasn't much light, except from the moon. The only other interesting thing in the picture was of a muzzle of some kind of creature. There was drool dripping down from the barred fangs. Itachi continued to the next painting. It had the exact same background as the one before. The only difference was that there was no little girl or a muzzle, just a pile of blood where the girl once stood. Itachi shivered and looked over his shoulder; Pein's paintings disturbed him even more than Scratch.
Itachi was close to the end of his journey down the hallway to the kitchen. His stomach was growling by the time he got close enough to see the kitchen. He passed Deidara's room, the last one before the kitchen, but stopped and stepped inside. The room was oddly clean. The floor was visible, the piles of clay in the corner were clean, and the closet doors actually were closed. Itachi's suspicion soon rose. He looked around the room, expecting something to jump out at him, but found nothing of the sorts. He opened the closet to find Deidara's cloaks neatly hung and everything else in its place. The only other place to check was the dresser.
Itachi stepped over to it and randomly picked a drawer to examine. All of Deidara's non-Akatsuki clothes were in order. Itachi was shocked to see what kind of clothes Deidara had to wear though. Most all of them were pink and blue. Itachi pulled out a pink and blue vest and held it up against him. It looked like it would fit. So Itachi slipped out of his cloak and let it fall to the floor. He then stretched, feeling the fishnet shirt and pants rub against his skin, and pulled the vest over his head. He looked at himself in the mirror and thought that he actually made it look good. Itachi opened up another drawer and pulled out a pair of blue and pink stripped pants. He slipped on the pants and looked in the mirror again. He thought he looked fantastic!
So Itachi continued pulling out Deidara's clothes and trying them on, completely forgetting how hungry he was in the process. After about thirty minutes, Itachi's hungriness got the best of him and he walked out into the kitchen in Deidara's pink tank top and blue checkered shorts. He started himself a bowl of ramen and then went back to playing with Deidara's clothes. After a little longer though, Itachi heard a noise, it was coming from out side. He teleported into the entrance way to see who was coming in. When he got there, he hid behind a large boulder and saw the great rock wall move away to reveal Deidara. Itachi muttered a curse under his breath and teleported back into the hideout. He quickly stripped off Deidara's clothes and threw them back into the dresser. After that he calmed down by finishing cooking his ramen. Deidara walked in the kitchen soon after Itachi sat down and started eating his ramen.
"Hey Itachi! How was your day?" Deidara asked while grabbing a pear.
"Fine, thanks for asking. How was yours?" Itachi said in between spoonfuls of soup.
"It was fantastic. I stopped the rebel ninja in one blow!" Deidara said cheerfully. He then walked into his room and shut the door. Itachi waited for a few intense moments, but Deidara didn't yell his name. Suddenly the door to Deidara's room opened up and he jumped out.
"Did you try on any of my clothes?" Deidara boomed.
"Never." Itachi answered with a straight face.
"Then why is your cloak in my room?" Deidara asked, leaving Itachi speechless.
"Itachi!!!" Deidara yelled.
Itachi quickly finished his soup and ran in the opposite direction, away form Deidara, who was close on his tail.
