Busted and Broken, Then Fixed

Chapter 2

Baby blue eyes flickered open, but quickly closed due to the bright light that was cascading down from the window and though the curtains. Groaning softly the small blonde rolled over and buried herself into the pastel purple covers.

"Wake up, pig."

"Err…I don't wanna…" the blond whined. Her pink-haired friend rolled her eyes and proceeded to pull the fair-haired girl from the warmness of her bed.

"Come on, Ino. We're going to go shopping today, remember?" Sakura said as she sat down in the desk chair. Ino pushed herself from the bed and looked over at the pinkette.

"Sakura, do you live here, or something?" Ino asked rubbing her eye.

Sakura smiled and shook her head, "No, but I know you want me to."

Ino sighed softly as she stood and made her way over to the pinkette, and took a seat next to her friend .Ino looked over Sakura's shoulder at the screen of the computer, "What's with you and obsessing over bands?"

"Obsessing? I'm not obsessing! But the Akatsuki is the biggest thing right now." Sakura said with a smile.

"Oh, really now?" Ino asked with a raise of her eyebrow, "And just why are they so popular?"

Sakura shrugged and went back to browsing though pictures of the Akatsuki's last performance. Ino watched the pinkette silently as she looked at a picture of a teen with crimson colored hair. He had a serious look on his face and held a microphone in his hand. Ino guessed he was the lead singer but she wasn't sure. She wasn't really one who grew to be fixated with bands and things like that. She just didn't see how girls her age were into them. She, on the other hand, was into her schooling. She took pride in being the school president, and all the responsibilities and came with such a title.

"The Akatsuki's really good, Ino. You should listen to them." Sakura smiled and clicked on a link titled 'pictures'.

"Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt…Put on a song you think I'll like." Ino said with a shrug.

Sakura squealed happily and pulled out her pink purse. Ino watched the girl as she dug around in the big pink cloth bag. Ino smiled slightly as she recalled the memory of Sakura and herself running around the mall for five hours to find that very purse. It was a rather fun adventure. Sakura insisted that she get a pink one, which is why the two had such a hard time finding it. The place they were looking had every color one could think of, greens, blues, oranges, yellows, purples and many others. However, pink wasn't included. So they had to run to another mall, well drive actually…

Finally finding what she was looking for, Sakura pulled out a CD case with a triumphant look on her face. Ino giggled inaudibly and shook her head at her friend. The CD case was black with a red cloud lined in white on the front and the word 'AKATSUKI' at the top written in red. The name of the CD itself was at the bottom.

"Here, I think you'll like this one, Ino-pig." Sakura said using her nickname for the blonde, it really wasn't as insulting as it was before when the two were in grade school. Both had grown up since then.

Sakura smiled as she pressed a button on the side of the computer. The CD slot opened and Sakura placed it inside. A dark tune started playing, and Ino had to admit, it was pretty pleasant to listen to. The more and more she listened the more and more she liked it. It was really good.

Sakura was still looking though the pictures and singing softly along with the song. Ino listened to the song as she watched Sakura look though the pictures.

"Hey, Sakura. Who's that?" Ino asked pointing to a one of the pictures that had every member of the band in it. The person she was pointing to was standing off to the right with his arms crossed over his chest, and he was wearing a business suit. He had a nice tan, dark hair, and the thing that caught Ino's eye first was his curious eyes. They were green in the pupils and black everywhere else. The second thing that caught her eye was the stitches that stretched from the sides of his mouth and disappeared under his hair.

"Huh? Oh, him. That's Kakuzu, if I recall right. He's the manager." Sakura informed.

"Oh…and him?"

"Zetsu. He's the drummer." Sakura smiled and continued to tell her fair-haired friend who was who in the band.

After about twenty minutes, Ino knew who everyone in the band was. That guy named Kakuzu was out of the ordinary. For lack of better words, he was funny looking. Not ugly just….err…different.

"Oh my gosh, Ino!!! We should go to a concert!" Sakura squealed.

Ino looked at her skeptically, "Ahhh…..no."

"Why not?!" Sakura whined.

Ino only smiled. She stood up from her seat and made her way to the door, "Come on, Sakura. Let's go eat breakfast."

Sakura pouted but fallowed the blonde out of the door and down the corridors of the Yamanaka Mansion. The two walked down the stairs talking about school, boys, bands, make-up, and shopping. Once in the dining room the pinkette took a seat at the table next to Ino, who sat down next to her father.

"Morning, Daddy. How was your sleep?" Ino asked with a smile.

He sat down his coffee cup and smiled back, "Morning, Sweetie. It was fine, yours? And what about you, Cherry?"

Sakura beamed happily at the nickname, it was something Inoichi had given her when she was younger, "Good."

"Yeah, same here."

Ino thanked a maid who sat down her and Sakura's breakfast. The maid, whose name was Mizurka, smiled at her and gave her welcome. She was really nice and Ino liked her. The way she cooked was amazing, and if Ino ever needed someone to talk to, Mizurka was there. Since Ino's mom had passed away during birth, Ino didn't really know what it was like to mother. Mizurka was Ino's mother figure.

"So, girls. What's the plans for today?" Ino's father asked the duo. Both girls giggled happily as cast each other glances.

"Shopping." Sakura informed, smiling cheerfully.

Ino nodded in agreement, as she took a sip of her orange juice. Her dad smiled back and the rest of the meal was eaten in silence.

"Hey, baby, how would you like to go home with me tonight?" Hidan asked a girl with black hair. She looked up from the drink and gave the sliver-haired man a dirty look.

"With you?" she paused to look Hidan up and down, "I'd rather not." With that she turned back to the counter.

"Come on, Baby. Why not? I'll give you the best ride you've ever had." He told her as he stepped closer.

She looked back at him, "Listen buddy, you aren't my type. I'm not into you. Leave me alone." She said harshly.

He gave her a fake hurt look, "That's not very nice. You could hurt my feelings."

"Your feelings? Guys like you don't have any of those."

Hidan glared at her. She was really starting to piss him off, "Listen, Bitch, I don't know who the fuck you think you are but-"

"Oh, I know definitely who I am. But do you think just because you're in a band you can have any girl you want?" She asked interrupting him.

He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.

"That's what I thought." She stated. She flipped her hair and walked away from the Sliver-haired zealot.

"Damn, Hidan. You just got told, un." Deidara laughed as he placed a hand on the shoulder of the white-haired man. He scoffed and pushed Deidara's hand away.

"Fuck off, Deidara. I'm just warming up. I got to beat you and Itachi, don't I?" Hidan asked narrowing pink eyes.

Deidara chuckled and motioned for the bartender.

"Ryoshi! Just the man I wanted to see, un!" Deidara exclaimed happily.

Ryoshi smiled softly and nodded. The reason Deidara had acted in such a way was because Ryoshi was his favorite bartender. In fact, Ryoshi was the whole Akatsuki's favorite bartender. Maybe it was the way he mixed the drinks or maybe the way he always listened to slurred, drunken talk of the people who sat by

the bar counter.

"H-hello, Deidara-san…Wha-what would you want this time? And you Hidan-san?" Ryoshi asked cleaning the glass in his hand.

"Not sure. I want to try something new." Hidan said tapping his chin with his finger, "You know the kind of shit I like. Gimme somethin' you think I'll fucking like."

Ryoshi grinned and nodded, "Deidara-san…?"

"I want something hard, to make me look cool, and something fruity for a 'lady-friend', un" Deidara replied with a smirk.

Ryoshi reddened in the face at what blond was insinuating. Muttering some incoherent gibberish he scuttled away.

Hidan watched the teal-haired male as he left, "You know you shouldn't say that kinda shit around him."

"But he gets so flustered, un!" Deidara laughed.

Hidan shook his head with a chuckle, "Yeah, but he might pass out knowing that baka. And then we wouldn't get our fucking drinks."

Deidara frowned slightly, "No, we would. But Mitzuki would have to fix them, un. I don't see why Pein-sama keeps her around. She just flirts with guys and is a total slut, un."

Hidan snorted, "Jashin-sama…I fucking hate that whore."

The blond nodded in agreement. He leaned against the bar counter as he scanned the dance floor. The lights were flashing and the floor was lit up, changing colors and such. He started the bob with the beat of the music. He smirked as he heard a guitar solo break though it.

"What's with Konan and picking all our fucking music to play here?" Hidan asked as he checked out some giggling blondes in the corner of the club.

"It's good music!" Konan whined. The duo looked at the small blunette and laughed. She huffed angrily and crossed her arms over her breasts.

"Of course it is, Konan-chan, un. We made it." Deidara stated striking a pose he called the 'pose of awesomeness'.

"Err….Here, Hidan-san…" Ryoshi had finally made it back and handed Hidan a clear drink, "I-its really good. Sorta fruity but it d-doesn't have the girly color to it."

Hidan looked at the drink offered to him, "Really? Fruity?" What most people didn't know was that Hidan absolutely loved fruity stuff. Ice cream, drinks, candy, you name it, he liked it. He took a drink and grinned. It was perfect, hard but fruity. He looked down at the drink and declared it his new favorite drink.

"Oh…Deidara-san here's yours…" Deidara gladly accepted the two drinks from Ryoshi.

"Thanks, un." He took a drink out of the one that wasn't pink and nodded his head in approval.

"Hey, Konan-chan." Hidan said to get the blunette's attention, "Know any girls that Dei and me can pick up tonight? They have to be really hot."

Konan gave the Jashinest a dirty look, "Ah…sure. They're 'hot', I suppose." She said uncomfortably, "but….never mind."

Ryoshi gave the girl a sympathetic look, but went back to cleaning. He would have asked Konan if she wanted a drink, but he knew Konan didn't really like to drink so he didn't.

Kakuzu and Pein emerged from down stairs with an annoyed look on the taller one's face. Apparently he didn't get as much money as he had wanted. This doomed the rest of the Akatsuki to listen to him bitch and whine about it.

The auburn-haired man made his way over to the small group and snaked an arm around Konan's waist. She didn't seem to be bothered by it, in fact she leaned into the touch.

"So. What are you guys talking about?" Pein asked placing a kiss upon the petite girl's cheek.

"Just a stupid bet between Hidan, Deidara, and Itachi." Konan informed him.

He gave her a funny look but nodded anyway. He glanced over at the silver-haired male and grinned, "You like that drink, Hidan?"

Hidan grinned back as he swooshed the drink around in the glass, "Hell yeah. This thing is awesome."

Pein nodded, "Sure is. It's one of my favorites. I'm pleased that you like it. I had Ryoshi here make it specially for you. I had him make them because he's the best bartender I have."

"Yes he is. We also had Ryoshi make a bunch of different drinks for everyone in the Akatsuki." Konan cut in with a friendly smile.

"Y-yes… it was really easy t-to make them. W-well, not Kakuzu-san's, but…" Ryoshi trailed off. He was looking down at the countertop he was currently scrubbing, probably trying to hide the blush that had settled across his face due to Pein's praise. Pein hardly praised any of his bartenders so Ryoshi was honored to be.

"Really? Why was it so difficult?" Konan's light voice asked.

"H-he likes his drinks really hard. I put so many d-different kinds of alcohol in it, it-its a miracle he can walk after one drink. L-let alone after he drinks the whole th-thing." Ryoshi said with a sigh.

Pein chuckled and shook his head, as did Konan, Deidara, and Hidan. Ryoshi smiled softly and went back to cleaning.

"Anyway, I'll see you guys later. I got a chick to pick up, un." Deiadara said as he waltzed away.

"Bye, Deidara-san." Konan said waving to him.

"yeah, I better get going, too." Hidan said as he fallowed after Deidara.

Konan waved slightly to the zealot and looked back at Pein, "So how much money did Kakuzu-san get?"

"Not much really. If I were you, I'd stay away from him for a little while. He's pissed."

Konan gave a sad nod and looked at the teal-haired boy as he took the order of a man that looked far beyond drunk.

"S-sir…Don't you think you've had e-enough to drink?" Ryoshi asked him trying to keep him from falling over.

He answered back, but his speech was so slurred Konan couldn't understand what was being said. However, Ryoshi seemed to understand it just find. He told the man he would get a cab to take him home and everything. He quickly walked around the counter and helped the guy from his seat.

"Ryoshi, I'll manage the bar while you're gone. I would have Mitzuki do it, but she left a while ago." Konan told him. Ryoshi smiled and thanked her.

Once Ryoshi and the drunken man were gone Pein turned to the blunette, "That was awful nice of you."

Konan giggled and fixed the flower hairpiece she always wore. She leaned against the counter and cast Pein a seductive stare, "What would you like to drink, Pein-sama?"

Pein smirked as he stepped closer, "I could think of something I want to 'drink', but I can't drink it here." He whispered into her ear.

Her face tinted red slightly, by now she was used to Pein's perverted talk. She still blushed, but she didn't mind the talk like some girls would. In fact, she thought it made their relationship more fun.

"I'm sorry, my dear Pein-sama." She quickly pressed her lips against pierced ones. It was short but loving, "But don't worry, I'll give you your 'drink' later."

Pein pouted slightly but immediately recovered. He watched the blue haired girl walk away, he smirked as he watched the way she swung her hips. Oh how he loved the way she walked.

"Checking out Konan-chan's ass are we?" Pein heard a voice behind him ask.

Pein turned and narrowed his eyes at the unwanted guest, "She's my girlfriend. I can do whatever I want, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru ran a hand though his long jet black hair, "Oh, don't be like that, my dear Pein-sama."

Pein groaned as he turned to the counter, "What do you want?"

Orochimaru leaned against the counter with his back. He appeared to be checking out someone across the dance floor, Pein couldn't tell if it was a guy or a girl. With Orochimaru it was a mystery. He said he was straight but….

"You think I came here because I want something? Oh, Pein-sama, that hurts my feelings."

Pein looked over at the ashen-skinned man, "Yes, that exactly what I think." He said not bothering to respond to the second part.

Orochimaru turned toward him, "Hmm. I suppose I can't fool Pein-sama like I thought I could. Well, the reason I came here…"

"Continue."

"I don't really need to talk to you. But I know better than to talk to Kakuzu right now. He's probably at some rundown bar right now anyway, drowning in his sorrows."

Pein didn't say anything, but the way Orochimaru was talking about one of his oldest friends was bothering him to no end.

Orochimaru took the silence as means to carry on, "With the way Deidara and the other members keep destroying things…The Akatsuki is losing a fair sum."

Pein opened his mouth to say something, but shut it due to the lack of anything he could say.

"Yes, it's true. I had Kabuto-kun add it all up for me."

"Why would you need to know such information?" Pein asked the snake-lover.

Orochimaru gave the auburn a smile. One that gave Pein a shudder, something that never happened, "You'll know in good time. But for now, you should focus on getting the band moved somewhere they can afford."

Pein gave the man a dirty look as he walked away. 'Shit. How did he know that? No matter, as much as I hate to admit it, he's right.' Pein thought, 'I need to talk to Kakuzu about this.'

I'm not sure Why Orochimaru is in there....He just popped into my head. I was going to make the person Zetsu or Tobi but my hands typed down 'Orochimaru' for some strange reason...Damn he has a long name. Deidara as well...Well R&R please!!! I'll love you forever!!!
