Busted and Broken, Then Fixed

The blonde teen-aged boy grinned sadistically as he jammed away at his guitar. The green-haired one smirked calmly as he drummed with a passion that didn't match his calm exterior. The bass guitarist smiled happy, well everyone guessed he was smiling anyway, no one could see under his mask to tell for sure.

"Across the land we bring the shadows

of our fucked-up mind. Rising up from the pits of Hell,

you sung my lullaby. You told me not to go near the edge,

but I don't listen very well," the red-headed lead singer sung the versus in a deep, dark voice.

The drummer smirked as he preformed his solo, but near the end something that wasn't supposed to happen happened.

The blonde guitarist jumped to the center of the stage and made his guitar scream a beautiful melody he had written himself. The other members of the band looked at him like he popped a screw lose.

Tobi was the first to act, he had heard Deidara practice this before and what people didn't know was that he was always prepared. He had already made a tune to go along with Deidara's.

Once Deidara had finished, he unsnapped his guitar strap. Taking the guitar by its neck, he slammed it onto the stage floor.

The crowd went wild, to say the least. The drummer looked rather pissed but no one seemed to notice as Deidara leaned over the stage and swooped a pretty girl up into a kiss. Her friends around her squealed and snapped away with their cameras.

Her eyes widened, but she soon closed them and reached up to tangle her fingers into the corn-starch colored hair. Pulling away he stared down at her, "Call you later, baby, un." She squealed happily as one of her friends quickly gave her something to write her number on. He smirked as he pocketed the number.

The lead singer rolled his eyes at the blonde's actions, "He's really immature isn't he?" he asked the pianist. Itachi rolled his eyes as well, fixing his glasses he nodded. Sasori sighed as pushed his sunglasses up the bridge of his nose. Looking over at their plant-loving friend he shook his head. Deidara should have known better than to steal Zetsu's spotlight. Zetsu really worked hard on that solo and being the quit one in the band, the one who didn't feed into the media as the others did, he didn't really get enough attention. Of course, Sasori didn't really feed into that sort of thing either, nor did Itachi, well at least that's what he said. Truth be told, Itachi fed into the media even more than Deidara. But Itachi when about it in a different way. Itachi was the one who played the cold one in the band, which meant all the girls who liked boys with the 'emo' look were all over him.

Sasori looked back over to Dei who was signing autographs by now. Sasori rolled his eyes once again, walking over to the stage edge, his name was called out by fans and admires. Looking down at them he accepted a few pieces of paper to sign his name and handed them back. Tobi soon fallowed and was signing the pieces of paper as well.

Hidan, who was determined to never be left out, started signing autographs excessively. Sasori also caught the sliver-haired male getting a few numbers. Walking back to the microphone, Sasori heard whines of displeasure from the fans that didn't receive his autograph. Sighing in slight annoyance he gripped the microphone in his hand.

"So did everyone enjoy the concert?" Screams of satisfaction were his answer, nodding in approval he continued, "That's good. We hope you all come back to listen to us again."

Tobi motioned for Sasori to hand him the microphone. Sasori handed the spiky haired member the microphone, holding his face indifferent like he generally did. Tobi seemed delighted as he took the microphone and turned to the swarm of fans.

"YAAY!!! What is Tobi?!" Tobi yelled out to the crowd.

"TOBI'S A GOOD BOY!!!!" they answered excitedly. A few of the other members rolled their eyes in irritation, whereas Hidan told Zetsu it was his fault Tobi acted in such means.

"Fuck off Hidan. Yea, seriously, it's not my fault!" the second part turning out more like a whine. Hidan snorted and went back to whispering to Kisame. Kisame chuckled softly at what the zealot said, however Zetsu didn't hear it.

Finally the band left the stage, while the throng of people shrieked in exhilaration. Deidara was the last to leave the stage, blowing kisses at some rather good looking girls, he eventually left the stage.

Zetsu growled as he impatiently waited for the blond to return backstage. The other members of the band casted side glances at each other, everyone knew how much trouble Deidara had gotten himself into with Zetsu. Even Kakuzu, the manager, knew better than to talk to Deidara before Zetsu had his chance to do so. Shifting to the other foot in impatience, Kauzu mulled over the fact that the reckless blond 'artist', as he called himself, had smashed yet another guitar. Did he think that Kakuzu was made of money? Hell, if he was he wouldn't be working this damn job with a bunch of idiotic fools who only cost him money. The only reason he agreed to do this was because he thought they had the potential it would take to make them big. That, and the fact that he owned his auburn-haired friend a favor. Damn Pein. However, Kakuzu couldn't deny the friendship that had formed between him and those knuckleheaded fools. Well, not all of them were fools, Sasori, Zetsu, and Kisame weren't. Hidan, on the other hand was the biggest of all. Kakuzu could recall times he just wanted to reach across the table and chock the living day lights out of him.

"How'd you guys think I did, un? I tota-" Deidara couldn't even finish his sentence as he was slammed against the wall behind him. Deidara made a weak gurgling sound as he tried to breathe.

"How dare you interrupt my solo, you worthless piece of slime." Zetsu hissed between clenched teeth. Deidara made another sickening sound as his air supply was being cut off. Kisame quickly sprung into action. He pulled the plant-lover away from the bomb artiest, Deidara slid to the floor against the wall with his hand wrapped loosely around his neck, gasping for the life saving substance called air.

Zetsu hissed once again and walked away. Kauzu raised an eyebrow as Zetsu passed by him; the plant-devotee looked slightly guilty he had done such a thing. Kakuzu sighed, shaking his head he made his way over to the bomber. Looking up weakly, Deidara forced a smile, "Fucked up, didn't I, Kakuzu-san, un?"

Kakuzu shoved his hands into the pockets of his suit, "Worse than that, dumbass, not only did you piss of Zetsu, you smashed yet another guitar."

Deidara smiled again, this time less forced, "Yeah, the crowd loved it, un. That's what you want don't you? Hmm? For the crowd to love us?"

Kakuzu growled as he rubbed his fingers to his temples, "Yes, you idiot, but I didn't say I want you to destroy everything in the process. Do you have any idea how much that damn guitar cost?"

"Ehh…does it matter? I mean we're rich, un!"

"RICH? You think we're rich? You fucking dumbass! We aren't rich! Hell, we could hardly pay for the fee it took to perform here!" Kakuzu seethed. Sasori raised an eyebrow at the new found information.

"I thought you said we could easily perform here." Sasori stated, stepping closer to block the blond for the businessman's rage, "Did you lie?"

Kakuzu snorted, "No, I didn't lie. Thanks to Pein-sama, I could afford it. Of course I have to do him yet another favor, but I think it was worth it. We need shows, without shows we might as well not even be a band."

"How the hell are we a band? You don't even play!" Hidan grunted rolling his eyes.

Kakuzu looked back at the sliver-haired man, "You fucking idiot. You think you could have gotten anywhere without me?"

Sasori nodded in agreement, "He's right, Hidan, without a manager we wouldn't be anywhere. And Kakuzu is probably the best one there is. A little up-tight, but still the best."

Kakuzu glared slightly at the red-haired teen, he wasn't sure if he was supposed to take that as a compliment or an insult. Hidan snorted and crossed his arms over his chest. It wasn't a surrender, just a way for him to say he would bring the matter up at a later time.

The tension in the room started to build up slightly; glancing at each other they hoped someone would break it. The sound of a door opening granted everyone's silent wish. Looking over at the door they were surprised to see a thin auburn-haired male who closely resembled a human-pincushion.

"That was awesome, guys." The man in his early twenties said nodding in approval, "Deidara, you were amazing! It totally goes with your character. Carefree and reckless. Especially the whole smashing the guitar part and of course how could I forget the kissing the girl part!"

Pushing up from the floor, Deidara made his way pass Sasori and Kakuzu. Grabbing the auburn-haired man's hand he shook it with enthusiasm, "Thank you, Pein-sama, un! You don't think I went overboard do you?"

"Overboard?!" Pein exclaimed, "Hell, you didn't go overboard enough if you ask me!"

Kakuzu raised a curious eyebrow at the man's actions; Pein seemed to be entirely out of character. He was never this happy. He was normally clam, quit, and very indifferent about everything. Something had to be up.

"How much money did my wonderful band bring to you this night?" Kakuzu inquired with a smirk, obliviously stressing the part where it was his band. Kakuzu's smirk was mirrored onto the pierced lips of the slightly older man.

"Oh, that. I'm sorry, Kakuzu, it was a large amount, but once I took away all the expenses, it wasn't very much."

Kakuzu groaned and buried his face in his hand, "Dammit."

"But you're lucky you have a great friend like me!"

"Oh, sure, Pein-kun. If you ask me, you're just trying to cheat them out of their well-earned money."

"Konan-Chan?" Pein's head snapped to the direction the voice had came from. Said blunette smiled, with a hand on her hip she walked over to the two males doing business.

"Why, hello, Konan-chan." Kakuzu greeted with a slight bow.

"Hello, Kakuzu-san." Nodding her head, she turned to the other members, "Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kisame, and Itachi, hello to you as well."

Everyone nodded their hellos also. Sasori frowned slightly as he looked around, "Hey…Where's Tobi?"

"He might have fallowed Zetsu when he left…" Kisame guessed. Everyone looked to Kisame, then to each other. That seemed like a reasonable answer.

"Probably…nevertheless we should go find him. It's hard to tell what he might get himself into." Sasori clarified.

"Tobi's a big boy, he might not act it but he is. He'll be fine." reasoned Konan with a smile gracing her features.

Kakuzu nodded in agreement. "True. But as long as Tobi isn't dead and can still perform I don't care where he is, back to business."

Pein turned his attention back to the money-man, "Hai. What is it you wish you discus?"

"Isn't that a little heartless, Kakuzu-san?" Konan asked, a small pout forming across her soft pale lips.

"I wish to speak of the money part. How much of the profit do I get to keep?" Kakuzu asked Pein, completely ignoring the small blue-haired women, "And how much do you plan on cheating me out of?"

Puffing out her cheeks in aggravation, she walked over to the man who shared her hair color, "Why, hello, Kisame-san."

"Hello, Konan-chan. Did you enjoy the show?" he asked with a smile.

She returned the smile happily, "Of course! I just love it when you guys play. From what I hear you guys are starting to get rather popular. Seriously, I can't even go to class without hearing 'Hey, Konan! Did you see the Akatsuki's last show? It was totally mesmerizing!!' and of course I agree, but you would think that they should know by now that I see every show the Akatsuki do."

Kisame's smile turned to a full-fledged grin, "Hai, Konan-chan. That's because you're our biggest fan."

Konan giggled and rolled her eyes, "Oh, sure. I know people who are obsessed. Severely obsessed. So bad that they practically beg me to take them to one of your guys' shows."

Kisame chuckled, "But you like being that popular, ne?"

Konan huffed and punched him playfully in the arm, "You meanie-face."

The taller blunette smiled down at his small friend with the matching hair color, "Why thank you." He glanced back at Kakuzu and Pein, "Come on, Konan-chan. You know that once Pein-sama and Kakuzu-san start talking business it's useless to wait on them. How about partying a little in the front?"

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Kisame-san. What do you guys say?" Konan asked turning to the other members of the band.

"Sounds good to me." Sasori stated leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Hell yeah! I'm up for that!" Hidan yelled with a large grin adoring his features.

"Me too, un!"

"What about you Itachi-san?" Kisame asked the smaller man who had yet to answer.

"Hn."

"Okay. Let's go!" Kisame stated with a healthy nod of the head.

Everyone fallowed the two blunettes as they led the other up the stairs and into the bar by night, and café by day. Deidara nudged the religious male in the ribs slightly.

"Ow. What the hell do you want?"

"Don't you think it's kinda weird Kisame understands everything Itachi says, un?"

Hidan raised a sliver eyebrow, "No, not really. Kisame and Itachi have known each other since Jashin-sama knows when. When Sasori and I met them they were the same fucking way they are now. Kisame is really loyal, you know that, but you should see when Itachi throws a fit."

"…a fit, un?"

Hidan nodded again, "Yup. I may be a total ass sometimes, but talking about people behind their backs is something I don't do. You haven't been in the band very long. It'll happen before you know it." Hidan grinned as he wrapped an arm around the blonde's neck, "Dude, I'm fucking glad you're in the band. You and me, we party alike. Chicks and boozes. Now let's go live up to our partying name. Here you might need these. Remember to use them, and don't get to drunk and pick up an ugly chick."

Deidara took the offered packets from the Jashinest, "Condoms..?" Deidara grinned and pushed the zealot's arm from around his neck, "Thanks, un. And the same goes for you. Whoever gets the uglier girl has to…hmmm."

"Oh, a challenge? Sounds fun! Make it something really good!"

Deidara grinned, "Okay. How about whoever has the uglier chick has to post naked pictures of himself on the internet, un. Is that good enough?"

Hidan's mouth dropped open, "Wow, Deidara. Just wow."

Deidara smirked in triumph, "Does that mean you're chicken, un?"

Hidan snorted, "No. I never back down. You're on."

Deidara sneered at the sliver-haired male, "Good. Let's shake on it, un." Hidan looked down at the hand held out to him. Smirking back, he took the blonde's hand and gave it a good shake.

"From what I believe, I think both of you would fail against me."

"What do you know, Itachi? What girl would want a four-eyes like you?" Hidan snapped.

Deidara nodded in agreement and crossed his arms over his chest. Itachi raised a raven eyebrow at the two. A smirk curled its way onto the Uchiha's face, "If you say so, then you wouldn't have a problem with the challenge including me as well."

Hidan smirked back and cast a look at the blonde, "No, we wouldn't mind that. Would we Deidara?"

"Oh, of course not, Hidan. Let him bring it on, un."

Itachi scoffed at the two idiots. They didn't know what they were getting themselves into. They had better know some good poses for the pictures they were going to have to take of themselves.

So...? Did you like it? I worked REALLY hard on that! XD I hope you R&R!!! I will forever love you if you do!!! But I'm sorry Ino wasnt in this one. I promise she'll be in the next chapter. I think Sakura will be too....maybe I'll make Sakura a fangirl of the Akatsuki. Sorry if you don't like Sakura. I cant think of a way I could write the srory without her. She is Ino's best friend afterall...But anyways, Hinata, Tenten, Temari and maybe some other girls will be in there as well. I won't promise anything besides Ino being in the next one, because knowing me i'm not sure what I'll do.
