Hey Guys!

Okay, so I had stuff to do. Big deal. You can cope without me for two weeks. Don't blame me.

Naw, I'm only kidding. Except the fact that I'm totally busy, so the next update could be a while. Not that long as you think, though. I'll try my best to bring 'em in!

So… COMMENTS!

Kakashi Forever (chap. 9): STICHES McCHRISTMAS! That's a good one! And yes, Hidan, no matter how hot he is, has nothing on Haley. She's rather be with Scrooge, sadly saying. Thanks for the review!

WildTiger777 (chap.9): Yeah… I kinda made the whole relationship thingy while I was typing away. But now it progressed, and BAM! You got it. Thanks for the comments, and I'm glad you still love it!

Darcy of Akatsuki (chap.9): Omg. Your name is Hayley? Haha, that's ironic. My name's not really Haley, but I love the name ;) so haha thanks for reviewing and I hope you enjoy more!

MidnightNinja777 (chap.8): Hehe, so I'm not the only one who uses bad puns! Not that yours is bad… I love people who use them! Thanks for enjoyin' it! (not that good, sorry haha) :)

Osuwari-657 (chap.7): Grandma Badass hitting Kakuzu in the package was the funniest thing I think I have ever written. I love you for giving me one of the best positive reviews ever, so CONGRADS! And human backpack… no one beats that but Captain Kakuzu himself. Thanks!

So… I'm really happy for all of the comments, but I'd like some criticism here and there. What do you want me to write about? Type it for me. Just to say whatever, put it in.

I'd like to say thanks for so much for patience and other crap like that because of my sports and honors classes, so in return… here you go! The tenth update! Here we go, peoples!

"Hey, Haley-chan…"

"Mhmhn…"

"Girlie, get up…"

"Get away from my waffles, you prick… or I'll hit you with my… 12 inch revolver…"

"I got it… GET UP OR HIDAN WILL HAVE TO GET YOU UP!"

My eyes opened straight up, and I blinked, looking around the room. It was in a hotel. The bed was huge, enough to fit even one Choji. And of course, I knew who was there… Stitches McChristmas himself, and who else but my favorite and only shark on legs, waiting for me, standing up at the side of the bed. Kisame was grinning, and Kakuzu was giving me the stare again, and if you've kept on, it's the one where he has those blend of red and green, and he narrows his eyes and thinks he's the best thing ever created on the face of the earth… my ass.

"Ha! Hey, there, girlie! Kakuzu! That was the perfect wakeup call!" Kisame laughed. And the thing is, he laughs so weirdly. Like he was coughing up a furball of something. I tried to laugh the same way as him, but it failed me completely when I got the hint from Kisame, who pulled out his big ass sword at me with a pissed off look on his blue face.

"Do you remember who I am?" he roared, teeth looking like saws from my distance.

I mused sarcastically. "Hm… I got this… K…K… Konan…" Hehe, this reminded me of Might Guy (my hero) in that episode where he battles Kisame, and Fillet O' Fish here is all pissed off that Guy doesn't remember him. One of the funniest episodes. Ever.

Kisame blinked. "Wait… what? No!"

"No, no, that's not it, you're right… hmm… OH! You're one of those guys from Avatar! Those blue people from Pandora! No, wait, even better! You're from Davy Jones' crew! One of those mutant pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean!" I jumped out of bed. "Omg! Can I have your autograph?"

Kisame was turning purple (ya know, blue plus red equals my favorite color) with fury and Kakuzu was holding him back from me. And sadly, Kisame called shots on killing me first. Aw, too bad my sweetheart isn't letting him, or he'll call in the color rangers from his back. Oh jeez… did I just call him my sweetheart? I need more sleep; it's official.

While Sharky was yelling and swearing as Kakuzu pulled him out, he raised his eyebrow to me. "Haley… you'll be needed at the lounge in a minute… Leader's having a meeting. And I had to pay for EVERYTHING, so just come down."

"Sure, whatever, Ka-ka-ka-kuzu. Ya know, your name sounds like a bird-"

He slammed the door in my face. That was nice. Prick. I can't believe I like him.

I put on stuff that was in the drawers, instead of my stinky sweatshirt that smelt like blood and crap from guess who but our favorite Zombie Brothers who kept rolling me into the human backpack. I had my dark green navy cut shirt, my black leggings and tan boots. Practical. I shrugged in the mirror. I looked like crap. My blonde hair was all snarly from the rambles and I had dirt on the sides of my face. Nice one, Haley. You'll be surrounded by the sexiest criminals in the freaking world and you'll look like crap. Dog crap, I might add.

I opened the door, not really caring, took the elevator, and went down. The elevator music was bad as always, and I was there to finally see… The Akatsuki! What a surprise.

It was pretty funny, this whole stupid scene. The security guards were all knocked out on the ground, slumped over. Captain Shmex was in charge of that one. The hotel secretariat was tied up, duct tape plastered onto his mouth, and he was panicking, sweat coming out of his face, tears coming out of his eyes. This reminded me of Captain Spock/Kabuto 2.0. The secretariats always get beat up, not to mention. The lights were all on, and my eyes widened. The Akatsuki were looking at me.

"So… hi, guys." I replied, looking around. I pointed to the poor secretariat. "Is this necessary?"

The unnamed guy tied to the chair cried even more to Sasori, who was right next to him. Pinocchio sighed, and chopped his neck, blacking him out. He fell, sighing and I cringed as his head hit the cold floor. Sasori looked at me, expecting some sort of retort. I sighed. "Okay…" It's not worth getting into a fight with Mr. Immortal Artist here, boyfriend of our beloved Deidara princess in the corner, sipping orange juice delicately in the corner. I blinked tiredly and made my way into the waffle maker area of the caf.

And on perfect timing… Tobi the secret asshole.

"Haley-chan!" Tobi cried, breaking the silence. "It's been soooo long!" He hugged me. That about squished the brains out of my head, thank you very much, Lollypop.

"Tobi, get the hell off of me, or you'll be seeing red from your insides," I growled. He leaped off immediately. "See?" I pointed to my chest in pride. "I got that one from St. Santa Stitches. Yeah, he about made my day yesterday."

"Hmm…" an ice cold voice crept behind that mask. Oh shit. Madara's back. "I've heard you've been sharing miniature affections with one of my members. Love is a pathetic emotion…"

"And this is from the guy who's lived one hundred years and have never kissed a girl before!" I laughed, leaning on Madara in order to hold my stomach. Let's just say he didn't like it. He grasped tightly onto my arms, pulling me off, crossing his arms, trying to connect eyes with me.

"Wow, you can be a real bitch, can't you?" I laughed, wiping the tears out of my baby blues, "And if you're trying to melt my brain with your brother's stupid Sharon-gan eyes, you've got another thing coming, asshole."

His voice rose. "Do you know who you're talking to?"

"Hm, well first, I wouldn't yell if you want your subordinates to know who you are… AGAIN…" I raised my eyebrows, "And also, I know you're Madara Uchiha. So there. I do."

"COME INTO THE LOBBY FOR AN ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING!" Pain in the Asses called out. The walls shook. I smiled. "Well, we better be getting there, or Leader will have your neck."

"I'll have yours soon after we're done with this irrelevant mission." Madara grumbled. He stomped out, but when we met at the lobby, he started skipping towards Deidara, the drama queen rolling his eyes. How girly. "SENPAI!" He cried, a childish voice coming out while Deidara's face went red with anger… or maybe embarrassment that Tobi was his boyfriend? Who knew these days.

Purple Buggars eyed everyone. "Okay, so we've brought everyone here before us. To inform you all just in case you all didn't hear from rumor, but yesterday, Hidan and Kakuzu had gathered all of the necessary spending money to use in this world… approximately ten million dollars."

Ten freaking million dollars? Oh man, I'm screwed.

"All caught on tape, I must add," Pein grumbled, grabbing the clicker. He flicked on the news on channel nine and pointed on the screen. "This box informs us all of the importance of this world, including outside news."

"And SpongeBob, and Scooby Doo, and Teletubbies," I added, pointing too. Pain gave me the eyes again, just like Kakuzu, and I slumped onto the couch, pouting. Assholes can never appreciate good television these days.

And speaking of Kakuzu, he sat next to me, stretching his stitched arms on the couch, one arms near my shoulders. "Hey," he whispered, stretching a smile for me. "What did I miss?"

"Hm, I dunna know… TEN MILLION BIG ONES? Are you serious, here, you cheap old bastard! And don't try to hit on me, or Granny's coming back!"

Kakuzu's Christmas eyes widened, and he cringed as he was covering his package, looking towards the window for any sights of that Badass Granny Chiyo look alike. Kisame raised an eyebrow, and a grin came on. He copied me as Kakuzu was too busy looking for the exit sign.

"What scared your boyfriend, blondie?" he asked, smirking already. "Spent all of his money or something?"

"Hahaha… no. It's something I'll have to show you later, but in case, because you're my second favorite Akatsuki member, it's a little blackmail for the two zombie bros. YouTube is the solution to all problems, my dear friend… and also, he's not my freaking boyfriend!"

He chuckled darkly. "Sure, sure… but if you don't want to be his lover… than Hoshigaki Kisame is available, and no one says no to me."

Wait… what the crap? He freaking likes me? I almost needed a barf bag, there. I don't know what caused his mother to have done it with a shark, but his blue shark-merman son is a huge pervert. ME with KISAME. Oh boy.

"Um… how do I put this lightly as possibly…? Um… no way in HELL, YOU WALKING TALKING BOSTON MARKET TO GO!"

"Eh-"

"I'm not taking anything from take-out from Red Lobster! Kakuzu's mine! And I like him!"

"Um, blondie…"

"You know what I said! Wait… did everyone just hear that?"

"Hehe… yeah…"

My eyes widened as I watched all of the Akatsuki eyed me with intensity. Deidara was hiding his laugher, and Purple Buggars, well, ya know. He was being over emo like always. Hidan was clutching his chest, grinding his teeth together, breathing deeply. The stripper Jashinist didn't like this one bit. "Fucking bitch…" he shook insanely, like he was no some drugs that Juugo had used before attacking some innocent little girl randomly walking up.

The old rag doll blinked. "Haley… is this true? You have… I can't even pronounce it."

"No!" I bellowed; fists into balls now. "No, it's nothing! It's stupid, you five hearted bastard!" I formed tears but I didn't want anyone to see. I glared at Kisame, who sighed, grinned, and waved at me from the couch. Again, I hope he dies soon. The new manga comes out tomorrow and Kisame's on the run. Or even better, I'll fry the fish right now.

Pein looked like he was growling. "Now… can we continue without any irrelevant disruptions? Good. Let's focus in onto the upcoming news report. It shows the robbery that we committed, and the alleged ANBU are on their way. So here comes the broadcast. Listen, especially you three." I felt his finger point at me the most than the Immortal Idiots. I was the one in the dress.

The same lady from New York City's news report came on. Again, character similarity. IT was Karin. Well, a more skankier version, not that there was a difference. Too much makeup, and the picture was in high-def too. Hair was red, glasses, lips always pursed out, and eyeing her co-anchor. Ha! They could be twins if they wanted to.

"We interrupt this program to bring you this news bulletin. Yesterday, an attack against our City bank has been reported. Taken was ten million dollars…"

I felt warmth on my hand, tight. I looked next to me, and that person was smiling under his mask.

"What do you want, St. Kleptomaniac? Want to steal my wallet before you die of old age?"

He glared again. Ah, such good memories. "Shut up, you."

"Okay, okay, just checking, Scrooge." That was it. He liked me back.

I continued watching as we secretly held hands as tightly as possible. "… and the criminals suspected were seen in black cloaks with red flowers on them..."

"FLOWERS? FUCKING FLOWERS? BULLSHIT!" I didn't even have to look up to find out who that was, but when the weather lady skank described the cloaks, I burst out laughing.

"Deidara! You finally got what you wanted! A feminine touch on such fashion!"

Kisame couldn't breathe properly after that one. Barbie's face burned red. "Shut up, hmm!"

No retort? That gives me a hint. Anyways, onto the rest. "… and a girl about teen age with a short red dress and blonde hair. The evidence left were as secretariat knocked out on the floor, with what seems to be surrounding him as blood…" No duh, lady. It's floor ketchup. "… and frozen security guards in blocks of ice. They are being unfrozen as the crime goes on, but keep an eye out for anything suspicious. On to you, Kent." She smiled, looking at her anchorman. I totally called that on Karin Number 2.

Pein in the balls hit the power button, expecting an answer from his subordinates. "We were successful, but it was a narrows escape, from what I heard from Kakuzu. Next time, don't be so predictable in this world. They are much weaker, but they have technology. They almost pinpointed our identities. Don't be so obvious. Understand?"

"Yes, Leader," was the only thing said in a mile. Pheh, stupid followers. I mumbled, "Suck it, you prick" by myself without anyone finding out. And I though these guys were ninjas and knew everything. Apparently not, now that I know most of them. Then I remembered what I was going to show, just for everyone's enjoyment. I grinned wildly.

"EVERYONE TO THE COMPUTERS! I HAVE TO SHOW YOU ALL SOMETHING!"

Haha, yes. Revenge is served sweet with a side of Grandma Badass and Zombie leg.
