(Hidan)

I was lying in bed, sleeping. I'd woken up a minute ago and had opened my eyes to see Sakura and Ino awake and talking quietly to each other. I would never admit it to anyone but I think I already like them. Kuzu was not inside the room. I smirked and rolled over, closing my eyes again.

A few minutes later though I felt my bed being shaken. "Wake up Hidan." growled Kakuzu.

"In your dreams." I yawned. "I'll get up at ten and that's it!" I wriggled into my bed just to have my covers torn from my body. I shivered from the cold.

"I said 'get up'." I yawned again.

"Screw you Kakuzu. I said ten." I clenched my eyes closed when I felt my body being moved. I'd gone to sleep in nothing but my boxers. Removing the covers from me was not a good idea. "Kakuzu why are you making me be immodest?" SMACK! "GAH!" I opened my eyes to see I was over his lap. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"You know the rules Hidan." Kakuzu growled. I struggled on his lap.

"Okay! I'll get up!"

"And stop swearing or I'll stuff a bar of soap in your mouth." I chuckled. Before I felt a rather fierce swat to my thigh.

"AH! Okay! I'll stop swearing!" For now. I felt myself be shoved off his lap.

"You're lucky I don't have time to discipline you fully. Leadersama wants us for breakfast. Then we're supposed to be going on a man hunt. Now get dressed." He growled the last part, making it clear that was a demand. I stood up and put on some pants before putting my cloak on. Kakuzu gave me a studying look before turning away.

"If you're going on a man hunt does that mean we're coming?" asked Sakura. I looked over. Kakuzu had left the room, leaving me to get the girls ready for breakfast. Damn you Kakuzu.

"Yes. You're part of the team aren't you? Unless you're a Genin. Then you have to stay behind. Chūnin and above are good. I heard you two were Jōnin. You should be fine. There's no one out there stronger than the Akatsuki. Now if you're not dressed for breakfast I suggest you do so. You took baths last night so it won't take that long."

"What? It takes time to look as beautiful as I do. I need thirty minutes."

"You have ten minutes. You can finish up after breakfast. Before the mission." I replied, picking up my scythe. I began to clean it from any dust it might have acquired over night. In no time they were ready. I put my scythe down.

"Who are we 'hunting'?" Ino asked.

"I know only as much as you two do. That we are doing it. You don't disobey Leadersama without huge reprecussions. I suppose this will feel like an adult mission. I hope you two are prepared."

"Team Seven had an S rank mission back when we were Genin."

"To the Mist Village? Yeah, I know. Zabuza told me. I've talked to him. I wanted to meet Kisame's brother. However, the missions Akatsuki go on are worse than two ninjas who actually know what their doing. I heard about Gaara. I'm surprised Naruto beat him. Gaara has had his fair share of murders." I opened the door to the dining room and gently pushed them both in. "We're here, where's the food?" I said.

"We're setting it out now." Leadersama said. "Just wait." We sat down and when Konan set the last plate down and she sat down Leadersama spoke up. "The man hunt is for Sasuke Uchiha. Shushi noticed he was missing a few minutes ago. He retrieved Itachi and Madara and even they couldn't find Sasuke after a thorough search for him through the building and outside. I'm searching the village right now."

Most of the kids freaked, the only ones not to were Sasori's. He must be proud. "Shut up!' I told Sakura and Ino. "We'll find him. Right Zetzu?" Zetzu smiled, showing his pointy teeth. "Just don't eat the kid. I like him. If you do I'll have to goldy locks you." I smirked. I meant gut him and take Sasuke out before sowing Zetzu back up. Zetzu glared at me.

"I dare you to try." I smiled.

"Really?"

"Stop it you two." Leadersama said. "Are you two even paying attention?"

"Make that a 'were'. Hey Konan. You look hot today." I smiled at her.

"If I were you I would stop while I was ahead." Kakuzu whispered. "He will take the time out of his day."

"As I was saying, Itachi has just informed me that if Sasuke is indeed not in the Rain village then he has either gone to the Leaf village or the Sound village." I don't know how he expects us to be able to catch him if he's gone that far. Or is he headed there?

"If I may?" Sasori spoke up. I just realized we're having a meeting at breakfast… hilarious.

"You may Sasori."

"I have a spy working for me who lives with Orochimaru, so if Sasuke returns we'll know."

"Are we supposed to be talking about this in front of the kids Leadersama?" Kisame asked.

"He is one of them, they deserve to know what happened to their team mate. Thank you Sasori."

"Don't try cutting us out of this, you blue jerk!"

"Naruto, leave Kisame alone." I laughed.

"Ha! You got told by Leadersama."

"Really Hidan?"

"You forget he has the maturity level of a ten year old."

"Hey, I resent that Kakuzu!"

"Well it's true." Zetzu stated. I saw Pein rubbing his forehead. He sighed.

"Will all of you just be quiet?" Sasori asked. Then Deidara laughed. Sasori gave him a look that made him shut up and look nervous. Itachi was just calm as calm can be. Like always. "What do you want to do Leader?"
