Pein knew, gathering every member of the Akatsuki together was a mistake. A big one. Things were not that bad until the next morning, where Hidan's severed head was found in a fridge and Deidara spilled Itachi's coffee.

It was a rare sight, but everyone was sitting in the kitchen, having breakfast (if Tobi's burnt pancakes could be called food). Pein asked them to be quiet and started to talk.

" Almost everyone has been asking if they can have a holiday even for a week. So, next month everyone will have the right to rest, but with one condition. All of you have to accompany our organization in a restaurant. I think, that doing something together (except sealing bijuus) will be good for our team dynamics."

None of them was brave enough (or had the nerves) to refuse to Leader.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, they were greeted by a tiny, middle aged man named Marcus.

" You must be Mr. Pein.

" Yes, that's me. I reserved a table for 10. "

The Akatsuki had to follow this tiny man. Their table appeared to be on the third floor. The table was at the end of the hall, right next to a large balcony. While they were walking toward it, people started looking at them with curiosity. At one end of the table sat Sasori, on his right side Deidara, next to him Hidan, then Kakuzu and Konan. On Sasori's left side were Tobi, then Kisame, Itachi and Zetsu. Pein was seated at the second end of the table. At first, they just started to observe the room. The hall consisted of tables and a small stage, where musicians played a soft melody, and a fireplace. All of them had noticed, that people started whispering and talking about them, but their table was a little bit far away from the others, so they could not understand anything.

Pein leaned over the table slowly, placing his palms on it.

" Act normal as much as possible. " He said, making pauses after every word. Akatsuki members just nodded.

" I won't order anything. " Kakuzu protested. " It's just a waste of money. "

" Oh come on you are probably starving right now. "

Kakuzu rolled his eyes.

" So, you are going to eat, right? "

" I will, but not you. "

" What?! Why? "

" Well, you see… you are immortal right? So, you don't need food. "

" Whoa whoa! Wait a second. " Hidan raised his brow. " Even if I'm immortal that does not mean, that I'm not hungry! "

" Well, then Sasori won't eat. "

" Why won't I eat?! "

" Because you don't need it. "

" Even if I don't need it I want to taste it! "

" And that's how you waste money! "

" But hey, when I'm eating something and I'm not hungry anymore I still continue to eat because food tastes good. Then I munch and cry at the same time. " Hidan said.

Kakuzu sighed.

" Okay, then Leader won't eat. "

" WHY WON'T I EAT? " Pein's voice was louder than the music.

30 dramatic seconds passed by without a sound. Finally Kakuzu murmured again.

" Did not know Gods needed food. "

" That's none of your business. "

Shortly after, Marcus came to take their orders. The list looked like this:

Pein: Steak with fried potatoes.

Kisame: Fish (with a strange name he could not pronounce).

Konan: Caesar salad.

Deidara: Pizza.

Kakuzu: Lasagna.

Hidan: Spaghetti (even though everyone thought he would order bloody steak or something connected to blood).

Itachi: Just Sushi.

Sasori: Beefsteak.

Marcus heard someone chirping.

" Oi! Mister! Mister! Do you have children's menu? "

" No. "

" Okay then…TOBI WANTS ICE-CREAM AND SAUSAGE! "

" Oh God…" Deidara buried his face into his palms.

Zetsu had a hard time of thinking. What should he order? He does not eats human food. He eats humans themselves. Pein noticed that.

" Ehm. Zetsu, you could try how our food tastes. "

" Guess I have no other choice. How interesting! "

Marcus found their words and way of speaking a bit strange.

" So, what will you order, sir? "

Silence.

" Look at the menu. " Pein whispered to him.

" Oh, right. Hmm… I will eat this soup. Tomato soup! "

After that Pein ordered drinks for everyone and an orange juice for Deidara, which he immediately protested. Finally, the youngest member got what he wanted. He could drink alcohol, only if he did not pass out, vomit, explode the restaurant, explode himself and Tobi.

" And we wait. " Patience was not the word that could be found in Sasori's dictionary.

" Let's play something fun! " Tobi said. " For example change every vocal with 'U' in our names! "

" Stop talking shit, un! "

" But Duuduru Senpai! "

Pein suggested, that telling stories would kill time. After hearing from Kisame, how a kid was swimming with a donut in the sea and how he, this gigantic sword-wielding shark-man was afraid of jellyfishes, the Leader knew, he made a mistake.

" How is that even possible? " Hidan was wheezing.

" It's okay Kisame-san. Tobi's here. Tobi will hug you. " He put his arms around him and put his head on his shoulder. " You are my favourite walking and talking shark ever."

" I'm the only walking and talking shark. "

Marcus came again.

" I'm very sorry to say this, but the meals are going to be a bit late. We have a lot of customers today. So, we have this one rule…If our guests have to wait, we offer them to play a game, not to get bored. Do you want it? "

" Let's say yes. What are the rules? " Pein asked.

" One must put a hand on second's eyes and randomly point a finger at someone. The one who can't see must say 'stop' or 'next'. For example, if you sir, point at the redhead and this lady says 'next', then you point at another one, but if she says 'stop', you stop and take the hand off and tell her who she chose. "

" And? "

" When she says 'stop' and for example, stops on the blonde one, she has to roll this dice. " Marcus took a colorful dice out of his pocket. " If the dice stops on red, it means, that she has to kiss him. To say it in a simpler way.

Red: Kiss.

Blue: One wish.

Yellow: One question.

Black: Slap in the face.

Green: Hug for 20 seconds.

White: Nothing.

Understood? "

" Yes. "

" Okay. I have to go now. "

" I don't think, that it is a good idea to play this game. "

" Itachi-san, sharp as always. " Kisame giggled.

" Let Tobi play! Tobi wants to kiss Senpai! "

" You can't kiss me with that pumpkin on your face, un! "

" I want to slap all of you so bad! " Hidan said.

" Okay then… I will start. Konan, cover my eyes with your hand, please. "

Konan did as Pein told her to and pointed her finger at Zetsu.
