(A/N): Update 3/17/10 Hey guys! Just a few things I wanted to say. First of all, thanks for reading! This story has been fairly popular and successful so far, more than I expected! I promise to keep updating it, just sometimes I get behind in school work so I can't. Second, just wanted to let you know that I'll be adding Author's Notes to the chapters more often, but not so much that it takes away from the story. Okay and finally, because of how much this story was being read I decided to change it a little. So now, instead of each chapter having about 300-400 words, I combined similar chapters. The reason there were so many before was because I like to change POV often, as you can tell. So now each chapter has a lot more words but just '~' every time the POV changes. I know most people prefer a few longer chapters rather then a lot of short chapters, so that's why. Anyway, enjoy the story and check back often for updates! I hope to get to the main part of the story before summer (school sucks XD). Don't forget to review too! I enjoy and appreciate every one I get and they inspire me to write more! Okay, I'll stop babbling now! NOW READ!

"Please Pein? Pretty please?" Konan begged.

Said man slammed his hands on his desk and stood up, meeting her at eye level. The blue haired girl continued to stand her ground though.

"Would you stop your persistent begging already? I already told you NO and I meant it!" Pein nearly yelled.

Konan took a step back and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Oh, come one Pein. Don't be that way. It's the holiday season. It'll be fun. Tobi and I will plan everything. All you have to do is come." she whined.

"Damn you woman! You're wearing my patience thin!" the orange haired man shouted.

The girl's face lit up. "So that's a yes then!" she exclaimed more so than asked.

"I never said-…fine. But YOU'RE the one who has to get the money from Kakuzu." Pein said as he slumped back into his chair.

The blue haired beauty's smile turned into a slightly annoyed frown. "Ugh. Well, fine. I can just get Tobi to do that." she agreed.

The girl turned and headed for the door. As she reached for the handle she heard "Oh, and Konan, meet me in my room tonight for your punishment."

She simply nodded and opened the door.

"Tobi? What the heck are you doing?" asked a shark-like man.

"Sssssshhhhh!" Tobi hissed, holding a finger up to where his mouth would be.

"What?" the large blue man asked again, slightly more quiet.

Tobi pulled him closer until both their backs were against the wall.

"Tobi what the h-" the masked ninja cut off the shark man by putting a hand over his mouth.

"Sssshhhh! Tobi's trying to listen in on Leader-sama and Konan. Please ssshhh Kisame." the goofball whined in a hushed tone.

"Why?" Kisame asked, confusion in his voice.

"Konan is asking if we can through a New Year's party! Tobi and Konan are going to plan it!" he excitedly answered, maintaining a whisper.

"Hhhmmm…I don't think Leader-sama will go for it." Kisame disagreed, shaking his head.

"But why? Tobi's been a good boy! And Konan's a good girl! Of course Leader-sama will!" Tobi protested, obviously offended.

"If you sa-" Kisame was cut off by the sound of a loud slam.

Both ninja stared intently at the door and pressed their ears to the wall, trying to eavesdrop.

"Can you hear anything?" Kisame asked, only to be shushed again.

They could hear Leader-sama shouting, but were unable to make out any of his words. After a few moments, it went dead silent.

Kisame was about to ask another question when the door opened.

The two nin froze instantly.

Kisame let out a sigh of relief and Tobi glomped Konan.

"Tobi was scared Leader-sama would hurt Konan!" the masked man cried.

"Oh Tobi. You know Leader-sama would never hurt me." the blue haired girl tried to comfort a frantic Tobi.

"But you said that last time and you had little bruises all over when you came out!" the boy argued with concern.

Kisame face palmed and Konan sweat dropped.

"Tobi…those weren't…never mind…" Kisame tried to explain to a naïve Tobi, but quickly deemed it a lost cause.

"Anyway…" Konan began, impatiently. "Leader-sama agreed to let us have a party as long as we do all the planning."

Tobi let go of the girl and began jumping for joy at the news.

"Yay!" he exclaimed over and over and over…and over again.

"Ok ok! Yes it's exciting, but please calm down Tobi." Konan begged and so the goofball settled down.

"So. We have three days to plan and prepare for this party. Tobi, we need to get started right away." the blue haired beauty announced.

"I'll help too." Kisame offered, nothing better to do.

Konan smirked at this. "I have just the perfect job for you!" she exclaimed, far too happily for it to be anything good.

Kisame just gulped.
