The sunlight which beamed directly on his face made him squint as he opened his eyes in wonder. He lazily put his hand on his face as he pulled himself onto a sitting position. He suddenly opened his eyes with slight shock as he felt the metal piercing on his nose. Yahiko's body…but how? Nagato thought as he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples in frustration, figuring why was he in Yahiko's body. Is this one of Kabuto's tricks? Lost in thought, he didn't realize the other Akatsuki members who were lying all over the ground, unconscious. They seemed to be in the middle of a forest.

"…Pein?"

Pein's trail of thought was interrupted as he heard a familiar voice call him. He turned to where the sound came from.

"Konan?" He rushed towards the blue haired woman. As soon as he got to her, Pein gently raised her.

"Are you alright? Hey!" having no response from her, Pein started to worry but his face concealed it.

All the way to the other side of the area, was a more…different…event. As he heard Pein calling Konan's name, Hidan yawned and then smiled. With his eyes still closed, he snuggled closer to the warm, soft substance he was hugging. At that moment, he realized something. He realized that hugging something THAT comfortable and warm was strange, especially when someone slept on grass in the middle of nowhere. With suspicion on his face, he looked up, only to see a familiar masked face. He immediately jumped up at the "horrible" sight of his so called partner, screaming. "KAKU…" before Hidan could even finish, something punched him on the face.

"Shut up Hidan, I'm trying to sleep!" groaned Kakuzu as he reattached his arm then turned towards the opposite direction of where the Jashinist was. Wait… Hidan…a and I'm alive. Kakuzu thought as the silver haired man cursed in pain. "I'm alive…" kakuzu murmured as he sat up.

"Oi! What the fuck did you do that for?" asked Hidan

"Shut up." Said Kakuzu, punching Hidan on the face again.

"Ah, looks like the zombies are awake." Giggled a blue skinned man, holding a bandaged sword. A familiar raven walked beside him.

"What the fuck man?" Hidan complained.

Meanwhile, not far from the group were the two artists. They were sleeping beside a tree, they laid on each other's shoulder. It didn't take long before the blonde finally woke up. Deidara rubbed his eyes. He stopped rubbing in slight wonder after touching a metallic substance on his left eye. My scope… it's back,un. "Where are we, un?" He asked, unfazed by the fact that he had been sleeping beside Sasori the entire time. Hearing the familiar, Sasori slowly opened his eyes. Both of them stood up and went towards the group.

"Where are we, un?"

"Yeah, where the fuck are we?" Each of them question as they approached their leader.

"Alright, settle down everyone. Obviously, none of us know where we are. " He said, looking at Konan with her usual calm face. This is bad, were a group of 8 S-classed ninjas who are all supposedly dead in the middle of nowhere.He looked back at the other members.

"Sitting out here in the open without knowing where we are is too dangerous. We'll need some place to hide ourselves, which at the same time, can be used as our refuge. We also need to find our basic needs" Pein exclaimed, looking at everyone.

"Kisame, Kakuzu, go look for food."

"Deidara, scout the area and see if you could find shelter. Better if you can find out where we are."

"Sasori, prepare some wood for Itachi."

"Hidan, stay here with Itachi and do nothing."

"Oi, why do I have to stay here with pretty boy." Hidan responded.

Pein just stared at Hidan emotionlessly, and then continued giving his orders

"Itachi, you know what to do."

"and I have some matters to discuss with Konan."

"All of you, be back at the maximum of fifteen minutes." Most of them agreed almost immediately.

The warm colors of the sunset shined across the horizon.

Deidara scanned the area with his scope. He spotted many things, some of them were interesting sights, like seeing Kisame catch fish. It didn't take long before he managed to spot a cave a few miles away from where they were. As soon as he caught sight of what he needed to search for, he immediately banked left and went home.

Sasori, Itachi and Hidan sat on a circle with wood at the center. They all shifted their eyes at each other, watching each and every other's movement. Hidan curiously looked at Sasori, Sasori just looked away uninterestedly while Itachi just closed his eyes and sighed. Awkward silence filled the air, until Hidan opened his mouth.

"So that's what you look like. Man, I didn't expect that you'd be as pretty as blondy" Hidan laughed. Sasori just glared at him menacingly. The redhead was about to throw a kunai at the laughing Jashinist until…

"Were back!" exclaimed Kisame with arms full of fish. Kakuzu appeared after him, holding a giant wild boar. Hidan just stared in shock after seeing what they had caught. Soon enough, Konan and Pein appeared, not long before Deidara came back as well. They all moved at the said location. They built a fire immediately after arriving, cooking what Kisame and Kakuzu had just caught. They all sat in silence as they ate, which was weird because for once, even Hidan kept quiet. After a few moments of deafening silence, Konan tried to start up a conversation.

"It's been a while since we've last seen each other face to face…" She noted then looked at pein. "Why not get to know each other?" She said with a smile. Everyone looked at her. But it didn't take long for someone to reply.

"I'll start." Declared Kisame with a toothy grin. Everyone stared at him uninterestedly.

"I'm Kisame Hoshigaki and I like sharks" Said Kisame, happily.

"Of course you do. Just as how much Deidara likes blowing things up" Hidan rolled his eyes.

"Shut it." Kakuzu slapped Hidan at the back of his head.

"Well someone woke up at the wrong side of bed, un."

"As a matter of fact, I did." Hidan retorted and Kakuzu slapped him afterwards.

Most of them laughed, even Itachi was chuckling behind his collar if you looked hard enough, except for Sasori. He just stared at them with an unreadable expression on his face. All laughter came to an end when something suddenly popped out beside the fire, near Pein. Everyone jumped a few steps back, they all stood on a defensive stance. They were all about to attack until the unidentified object popped open.

"Zetsu?" They all shouted

"Well this is a surprise." Said white Zetsu with a smile.

"Mother fucking bitch, you scared us to death!" Shouted Hidan at the plant man.

"It's only Zetsu." Said Pein.

"Oh you're so mean leader-sama" White Zetsu frowned.

"Quit your whining." Said black Zetsu

"Zetsu, where were you." Questioned Pein

Zetsu reported himself, and like all the others, he didn't know how he got there. All he know was that he woke up in the middle of nowhere and started to wander. In the end, they found no useful information. The Akatsuki continued their night, slightly talking to each other. Soon, everyone felt tired and went to bed. When everyone was deep in their slumber, Konan stood up and made her way outside the cave. She looked up at the stars closed her eyes and remembered her death. She felt tense for a moment after recalling her battle with the person so called Madara Uchiha. But when she opened her eyes and came back to reality, somehow, she felt…different… safe… Konan smiled then went back.
