Akatsuki's Arachnophobia 09
Chapter Nine: The Solution and the Conclusion
III
Deidara was finally able to convince the auburn haired man to fallow after him. Pein was not happy about finding out that his brand new carpets were stained with a spider aphrodisiac, but hey, if there was a chance at freeing the base of spiders, then he would be glad to have a tiny stain on his carpet.
The two were just one turn to the left to find the spill, but their path was blocked by two larger men. Kisame and Kakuzu had their backs completely turned from the two. Both seemed to be completely focused on what laid in front of them.
"Well that's just great." The two had heard Kisame speak in front of them. It seemed as though, they two, had just arrived to the scene of the crime. Kakuzu's voice was shortly fallowed after his.
"Who ever came up with this idea-."
"Kisame…Kakuzu." Pein's impatient voice has erupted from behind them. Kisame and Kakuzu had jumped in surprise and exchanged uncertain looks, "Move aside you two."
"Leader sama I don't think you should look." Kakuzu warned.
"Don't be ridiculous." Pein said with a confident tone. And with that Pein had pushed past them.
Deidara stared at the back of his Leader. Somewhere deep inside of him, he knew that if he stayed any closer to Pein, he would surely feel a considerable amount of Pain.
But, Deidara being the curious little youth he was, moved forward, and set his eyes on the exact same spot where he spilt the toxin.
"W-why are…" Deidara trailed as he stared, mesmerised at the amount of spiders that were gathered on top of each other. There were rows upon rows of them, all feeding from where he guessed the aphrodisiac was spilt. But what shocked the blonde the most was not the number of the spiders, but the size of the spiders. The aphrodisiac was helping them grow! This was not good, "…they're getting bigger? The spiders closer to the stain are getting…bigger, un!"
Pein had whipped his head towards the blonde. Deidara had identified the look on his face with the same one he had before he blew something up, "You tell me Deidara. Why…are…the…spiders getting bigger?"
"I don't know, that's why I asked you, un." And with that Deidara had yet again felt his leader's hands grabbing the collar to his shirt.
"I'm going to kill you." Pein had spoken behind clenched teeth.
"Easy, easy now. You know that what ever you do to me is useless since I'm also intoxicated on the aphrodisiac. I'll enjoy every minute of-."
"So. Will. I!" Deidara's blue eyes stared fearfully at his Leader's drawn back fist. Thankfully, Kakuzu and Kisame had held the enraged man back.

Madara had glanced back at his Venus fly trapped friend and nearly burst out laughing. With that flute against his lips, he almost looked like one of the characters in a fairy tale book he had read not to long ago.
What was it called…'The Pied Piperof Hamelin?' Perhaps…
"What are you planning to do with that flute, Zetsu san?" Madara had said with slight amusement in his tune.
"It's a nice flute…I just wanted to test it out, I found it the other day from this merchant I ate, he was truly delicious!"
"Will it help us get rid of the spiders?" Madara then begun to recall what happened in the legend of the pied piper. A man dressed in pied had come to a small town in Hamelin and played the mysterious tune of his flute and lead all the rats of the town and children far away to be seen again. It was quite a dark fairy tale actually.
"Perhaps, I highly doubt it though." Zetsu smiled and played a few notes on the flute, "I actually have a different solution…Deidara had made an aphrodisiac for the spiders earlier. Although it proves to be useless in destroying the spiders, and also acts as a growth serum for the arachnids, I've found a way to use it to our advantage…"
"Really and how will you do that?"
"We are going to lead the spiders to a better place to nest and multiply with scent of the aphrodisiac. We enhanced the one Deidara had made. The new scent of the aphrodisiac is much stronger and more appealing to the spiders. Once the arachnids pick up on the new scent we created, they will have no choice, but to fallow after us."
"Ah I see then, good idea."
"Thank you, Madara sama!" The white Zetsu chimed as he pulled out a vile of the newly created potion. He then un capped the lid and allowed the aroma to fill up the room. Madara had pushed his hands under his mask and covered both his nose and mouth. The smell of the aphrodisiac was ten times worst then the one Deidara had made. The Uchiha had felt bile rise in his throat, and with that he dashed out of the room. Zetsu stared after him confused.
Personally he though the aphrodisiac smelt pretty damn good!

Where we last left Deidara's aphrodisiac stain
It seemed as though Kakuzu and Kisame were not strong enough to hold back their enraged leader. Luckily, Deidara had taken off before the two had released Pein.
"Wait leader sama, look at the spiders…they've stopped moving." Kisame pointed out. Kakuzu squatted down to take a better look at the spiders, "Perhaps Deidara's toxin really did work. Maybe they are dea-."
"No they are still alive, they just seem to be dead." And then Kakuzu got a nose full of the brand new aphrodisiac Zetsu had created.
"What in God's name is that smell?" Kisame had growled as he covered his nose and mouth with his hands. Kakuzu and Pein had done the same as the shark nin. Zetsu had appeared in front of them, a glass bottle was found in his hands. Pein had recognised the liquid immediately.
"I thought I made it perfectly clear this morning that all pesticides are forbidden." Pein said icily as he glared at Zetsu.
"No worries Leader Sama, this potion contains no dangerous side affects or fumes that would harm either humans or insects. It's perfectly safe. You see, it's just an aphrodisiac."
"Another aphrodisiac-."
"Don't worry Leader sama, Zetsu sans got it all under control…You see, his doesn't make you crazy like Deidara Sempai's did! Zetsu fixed the mistakes in Deidara Sempai's work." Madara had appeared behind Zetsu. He was currently using his Tobi personality. He couldn't allow Kisame or Kakuzu to know about his true identity just yet.
"Oh…good." Pein said as relief had washed over him. He then turned towards the spiders, "So you're here to lead them away from the base with that poison. Very well, proceed."
Madara smirked behind his mask, as he watched the men squirm as the spiders had crawled under their feet as they fallowed Zetsu down the hallway and out the back door.

A week later, around the usual time for dinner, the Akatsuki members had found themselves gathered at the dinning table.
Madara had locked himself in the kitchen since none of the other members knew how to cook. The members were currently waiting on him for their meal.
It seemed that the aftermath of the incident wasn't as dreadful as they all thought. Actually, the arachnid problem may have actually helped them.
Kakuzu and Kisame seemed to be spending more time together. After working together in locating Itachi, the two had suddenly formed some sort of male bond between each other. The two rogue nins eventually started going to clubs and bars with each other.
Itachi had now faced his fear of spiders.
Hidan officially hated Itachi. (Not sure how that helped the Akatsuki...Anywho)
Deidara was busy with repairing all the damages he had done to the base. Pein claimed that the youngest member was still under the side affects of the spider aphrodisiac, and that it was easy to convince him to volunteer. Still, the Akatsuki continued to wonder why the blonde was always happy, and how exactly, Pein was able to convince him to do so.
Later on, Madara had pinned up the picture he had taken of Pein and Deidara.
Pein was accused of being affected by the aphrodisiac's side affects.
He denied it.
Konan was usually found helping Deidara repair the base, some say they thought of each other as more then fellow co-workers.
Madara finally came out from the kitchen, he was dressed in an apron and wore a chef's hat on his head, "Everyone please be quiet, Tobi needs to say something."
Everyone's eyes turned to him, well everyone except Deidara, he had fallen asleep on the table waiting for his partner.
"What is it Tobi?" Pein said nonchalantly.
"Well Tobi would just like to say-." At that moment Hidan had walked into the room.
He was not happy.
"You fucking fucktards, I'm going to sacrifice ever last one of you to Jashin! I swear on it!" Deidara had lifted his sleepy head from the dinning table, a large smile had come across his face as soon as he spotted Hidan.
"What's got you so worked up, hmm?" Hidan scowled at the blonde.
"None of you decided to tell me it was time to eat!"
"That's all…" Itachi mocked him. Hidan in return did not say anything. Instead, he took a seat beside Deidara and started up a friendly conversation with him.
Once everyone was served their meals, Madara had left the room. No one seemed to notice.

The swirly masked man had eventually bumped into Zetsu.
"Ah, just the man I was looking for." Madara had said calmly as he motioned the plant like man to fallow him outside.
"Zetsu san, I'm curious." Madara said as he watched the sun set, "Where exactly did you lead all the spiders."
"Well, if you really want to know…"

A man with grey hair tied back in a low pony tail had been racing down the hallway of a dark and damp underground lair. Soon enough he had found a pair of giant doors that lead to his master's bedroom. He pushed open the doors, and found the man he had been searching for. The man with silver hair had knelt down on one knee and stared at the ground as he spoke.
"O-orochimaru S-sama," The man's voice was shaky, "T-there seems to b-be a p-problem."
"What is it Kabuto?" The one called Orochimaru demanded.
"W-we h-have a i-infestation…"
"Of what?"
"Sp-sp-spiders."
"Then get rid of them." Orochimaru laid his head back on his pillow.
"I can't" Kabuto said meekly, "You s-see sir...I h-have arachnophobia."

A/N: KABUTOOOOOO :3
Poor him…I feel so evil. Anyways, thank you so much for reading, it was really fun to write. And thank you guys for the great reviews. You all rock my purple fluffy socks! P.S Should I sequel it? I think if I do I might just have to get Konoha involved. & it would so much fun to get Sasuke. He would probably feel the same way about spiders as his older brother. Just thinking about a sequel makes me smile. It would be so epic!
