AN: This is NOT yaoi. If that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere because you won't find it here. Also, this is before any of the Akatsuki died. Orochimaru already left, so it's just Pain, Konan, Hidan, Kakuzu, Zetsu, Tobi, Diedara, Sasori, Kisame, and Itachi.
It was an incredibly peaceful day as the infamous Akatsuki rose from their slumber. Some thought they trained all day; others believe that they kill people for fun in their spare time. Neither of these are correct. Today, we're going to find out what really happens on the Akatsuki's Day Off.
Diedara was the first to wake up in the Akatsuki hideout. He was always a morning person, and because of this, he tended to "accidentally" wake up everyone else in the hideout.
Diedara sat up in bed and stretched his arms, yawning. "What a beautiful day," he thought aloud. "This is the perfect day to form some exploding clay."
Diedara heard a groan on his left side.
"Good to see you're up, Sasori, my man," Diedara said to the young man in the bed next to his.
"You fool. I asked once nicely for you not to call me that. It sounds like we're dating, and to be honest, you sound like a fag," said Sasori of the Red Sand.
"Harsh, coming from someone who is legally homosexual," Diedara countered.
"Eh. Touché," Sasori muttered. Diedara could tell he was too groggy to put up a fight this early in the morning.
"Well, since I was so rudely awakened, I might as well go clean my puppets," Sasori said, breaking the silence.
"You do that. Hn," he added his own personal noise.
"I hate it when you do that…" Sasori grumbled.
"And that's why I do it, Sasori-kun!" Diedara said with a wink.
"You're really starting to send me the wrong message… I'm leaving." And with that, Sasori stormed out of their room.
"I hate the 'Roommate' system Konan came up with…" Diedara said. "But, at least I didn't get stuck with a freak."
He slipped on his shirt (Diedara always had a habit of sleeping shirtless) and went downstairs to get some breakfast.
A few minutes later, Nagato sat up quickly in bed.
'…Oh, good. It was only a dream…' he thought.
Konan had noticed him stir. She had been awake for a while. "Nagato, is something wrong?" she asked, truly feeling concerned.
"No, it's fine. It was just a dream," Nagato answered. "Can you believe we, the Akatsuki, have absolutely nothing planned for today? It's the first day in ages we've had a free day."
"I cannot believe it, but I won't complain," Konan said with a small but whole-hearted grin.
"I need to use today to rest. My body has become more and more fatigued over the years…" Nagato continued, popping his back, knuckles, ankles, wrists, and neck. "I'm afraid I may develop arthritis."
"Arthritis is something we can heal. I think you're developing Old Man syndrome," Konan said, this time with a chuckle. Nagato noticed she was in a rather good mood.
"Could be, could be," he said with a grin. "I'm going to rest, tell the others not to bother me."
"Will do. Would you like me to bring you any food or perhaps a drink of water?" Konan asked.
"I think I'm fine for now. I'll just send one of the Pains to get it if I need anything urgent," Nagato joked.
"Ha ha, okay. I'll wake you for dinner. I'll make my leave now," Konan said. She exited their room and met Diedara downstairs for breakfast.
"Hm hm hm hm… La la la la!"
'Argh,' Zetsu thought to himself. Tobi had woken him up with his unreasonably loud humming. Again.
"Tobi… I told you yesterday and the day before that. I need my sleep, so you are not allowed to wake me up," Zetsu said to the masked one.
"But Zetsu-!" Tobi said, making the last "U" sound carry. "It's my favorite song!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you've woken me up by humming that blasted song for the past 48 days in a row. What's worse is that it is the same song every day."
Zetsu's voice sounded strained, as if he was trying very hard not to eat Tobi right now.
"I like this song though! It's called Blue Bird!" Tobi pleaded.
"Sounds very positive. It also could sound mellow, with a hint of happiness," Zetsu concurred.
"Exact-"
Tobi was cut off by Zetsu. "I hate those feelings," Zetsu nearly growled into Tobi's mask.
Tobi made an unusually loud gulping noise.
He sprinted out of the room. The gracefulness factor was very low; compared to a swan, Tobi looked like the Incredible Hulk in elegance.
Zetsu merely chuckled to himself. Which, knowing Zetsu, was quite possible for him.
In the kitchen, Diedara was eating a bowl of Trix cereal. At the head of the dinner table (or in this case the breakfast table) was Konan, eating her eggs she scrambled herself. Sasori was on her other side nibbling on some toast. Continuing on, Kakuzu was eating a weird sort of fruit. Hidan was sitting next to him but he was reading the daily newspaper.
On Diedara's other side sat Tobi, who was noticeably trembling. They all assumed it had something to do with Zetsu.
After most people were done with their breakfasts, Kisame and Itachi walked over and sat down.
"What took you guys so long?" asked Diedara.
"We had to sleep a little longer than usual. We had some mad sex last night that really tired us out," Kisame answered.
Everyone at the table sighed.
"Forget I asked…" Diedara muttered.
"He's kidding," Itachi said, smacking a grinning Kisame upside the head. "We were just practicing chakra exercises last night."
A murmur rose from the table. When it quieted down, all the noise was gone except for the rustling of cutlery and paper.
"As you may have heard, today is the day nothing is planned," Konan began. "Therefore, you are all free to do whatever pleases you. Be back by 9:00."
Everyone stood up and left the table, most walking off in different directions.
Konan sighed. It was going to be a long day.
AN: Okay, guys, how do you like it? For the next chapters, I'll do each person's day off per chapter. I'll be sure to make it detailed and such! I'll be more likely to continue this story if it gets reviews, so, you know what to do.
Until next time… Enjoy!
