Author's note: Finally, the last episode of Hot spring!XD Tnx for your reviews!!!!
[Nooooooo!!!!!!! Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!]
Crying out desperately, Kakuzu started to tear apart his precious ten dollars.
[Why does he have to cry out like that un?] Deidara mumbled giggling.
At last Kakuzu finished tearing exactly ten dollars and lay down on the floor, sobbing.
[Oh, my precious moneyyyy!!!!!! Ohhhhhhh......]
[Shut the fuck off, fucking partner!] Hidan growled.
[Shut up and spin the bottle!!] Pein yelled.
Kakuzu quickly stood up and spinned the bottle.
Tittering, members watched the bottle spinning and stopping slowly, pointing to Tobi.
[Yeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!! It's Tobi!!!]
[Tobi's turn un!!!]
Jeering, members altogether looked at Tobi who started to shudder.
[Hey Tobi, choose Truth or Dare un.] Deidara spoke jeering, and Tobi replied shuddering. [To... Tobi will do Dare, sempai.]
Twinkling their eyes, members exchanged glances, then soon Kisame opened his mouth smiling. [Tobi, Dare. speak out loud that you're a bad boy.]
Abruptly Sasori started to chuckle, and Zetsu's face became anxious. The other members burst out laughter.
Tobi stared at Kisame blankly for a while, then all of sudden burst into tears. [Nooooooo!!!!!!! Tobi is a goooooooooood booooooyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Hey, if you reject to do it, then drink this wine, you little shit.] Smirking, Hidan drew the cup to Tobi.
Sobbing, Tobi screamed. [Noooooooooo!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Tobi is a goooooooooooooood boooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!]
That was when Pein put down his coffee can brusquely and glared at Tobi impatiently. [Stop whining and do it quickly, or drink the wine!!!!!!!!]
[Oh, good havens.] Zetsu closed his eyes.
[Some good boy.] Deidara mumbled, laughing.
Sniffing, Tobi slowly opened his mouth to speak out that horrible words.
[To..*sniff*..bi..*sniff*....Tobi...*sniff*...is..*sniff*]
Pein threw the can on the floor and glared at Tobi, causing Tobi to continued his words despairly.
[..To...Tobi is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad boooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!] Then, sobbing loudly, Tobi gasped.
[Tobi is a baaaaad booooy!!! Tobi know iiiiit!!! Tobi ate Dei sempai's chocolates and stole Kakuzu's money to buy suugaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!! Tobi is a baaaaad booooooooooyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[.....]
[.....]
[...So it was you.]
[It was you who stole my five dollars.]
Both Deidara and Kakuzu gnashed their teeth.
[Idiot.] Hidan chuckled at Tobi.
Sasori smirked, and chewed cookie.
[O.. ok, now spin the bottle.] Zetsu mumbled sweating.
Sniffing, Tobi spinned the bottle with trembling hand.
[Bang.. bang... Oh, it's Itachi again un!] Deidara exclaimed.
All eyes of members turned to Itachi, and Itachi scratched his head. [Well... I'd do Truth this time.]
[Truth...] Members looked at each other amusingly.
Sasori tried to mutter out something, when Kakuzu quickly interrupted and threw a question. [Itachi, truth. Tell us what exactly happened between you and Orochimaru.]
[..?!!!!]
The whole members became appalled at this bombshell question.
Itachi blinked blankly for a moment, then, suddenly contorted his forehead little, stood up, and left the lounge.
[.........]
Silence flew for a moment.
[Wha... What the...?] Kakuzu tried to grumble at Itachi, but soon had to shut his mouth for members started to holler at him.
[You dreary fool!!!!! How could you speak of that perverted snake in front of Itachiiiii!!!!!] Kisame hollered.
[Are you an idiot?!!!] Sasori yelled.
[You're an insensitive, dreary, conceited fool un!!!!!] Deidara cried.
[You really are a fucking idiot!!!] Even Hidan barked.
Totally mortified, Kakuzu mumbled something like a pleading, and had to shut mouth again for Pein shouted at him horribly.
[Don't you have head, you deranged idiot?!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Kakuzu gulped, realizing the depth of his blunder.
Now all the members stood up.
[We should go and soothe Itachi.]
[Yeah!! How he'd have shocked!!!]
However, none of them could find Itachi. Itachi was not in the locker room, shower room, hot steaming room, or toilet.
Getting worried, members now became so in a chafe.
Kisame cried desperately. [Maybe he went out alone, and lost and scared!!!]
[Heavens! I hope he won't get any hurts un!!!]
[Tobi is getting really worried!!!]
And Pein yelled frightfully to the members. [Let's go and look for him!!!!!!!!] Then, turning back and glaring at Kakuzu fearsomely, he added. [You'd better find him quickly, for otherwise I'll truly teach you a lesson today.]
Sweating, Kakuzu gulped. [O.. Of course, sir!!!!]
.

Meanwhile, Itachi was walking thoughtlessly at the backyard of Hot spring building.
[...Where am I...?]
Slowing his steps, Itachi blinked as he saw a thick fog in front of him, the fog that was covering his whole view.
[What is this....]
Murmuring to himself, Itachi slowly went through the fog. As he went through, he soon saw a tombstone in front of him.
[Huh....?]
Not understanding why such thing is in here, Itachi tried to approach close to the stone.
And that was when he found two persons standing beside the stone.
[..?]
There was a man_ red haired, middle aged man, with a mild look on his face. He was well built and was wearing a Kimono_ the same Kimono with the Kimono which Itachi was wearing.
And it took a minute for Itachi to notice a little red haired boy behind the man, who's clutching man's sleeves and staring at Itachi curiously.
[...Hey.] Itachi murmured, not knowing what else to say.
The man turned his eyes and looked at Itachi, and smiled affably. [Oh, hey young man.]
Feeling strange, Itachi questioned. [Mind.. What you're doing here...?]
[Hmme..? Ah, I and my son are just visiting my grandfather's grave.] The man pointed at the tombstone. [As you see, it has been not cared of for a long time, since this mountain is very hard for come and going.]
[Mountain...?] Itachi tilted his head, wondering if this man is a madman. However, the man seemed so normal.
All of sudden the little boy who's keeping on scrutinizing Itachi slowly came over, and clutched the sleeve of Itachi's Kimono.
Itachi flinched little, and the boy sticked his tongue out to him. And that was when Itachi could see the boy's eyes clearly.
[....!!!!]
Gasping loudly, Itachi stepped back.
The man gently called the boy. [Son, come here.]
The boy went back to his father. Putting his hand on the boy's shoulder, the man smiled apologetically to Itachi.
[Sorry, young dude. My son loves my Kimono so much, and he seems little surprised to see you wearing the same Kimono.]
[Ah... It's ok....] Mumbling, Itachi felt himself unable to move his eyes from the boy.
And the man smiled at him again, this time most gently.
And the wind started to blow over them.
Gulping, Itachi tried to open his mouth, but his view started to blur_ no, the man and the boy sarted to blur away...
[Itachi... Itachi!!!!!!!]
A familiar voice was heard, and somebody clutched his shoulder at the back.
Almost jumping up, Itachi looked back, and soon his eyes met with Pein's, who was panting.
[Are you ok..?! Why are you wandering here..?] Pein asked in worried voice.
Itachi blinked aghastly for a while, and turned his eyes to the front, only to see empty yard of Hot spring_ No tombstone, no man, no boy.
Pein carefully held Itachi's chin and raised it up. [What's wrong..? Anything happened...?]
Itachi looked up at Pein blankly. [...Leader sama.]
[Yes? What is it?]
[...I think I just saw you and your fa...]
Then a sudden exclamation at the back hidranced them.
[Itachi!!!!]
[Itachi!!! You're here!!!!!]
Members altogether rushed to the two, exclaiming happily.
[I was worried to death, you know?!] Kisame expressed, panting loudly.
[Tobi was so worried!!!!]
[I was worried too, un!!]
[Don't get out and disappear in such way, you trouble maker.] Sasori chided calmy.
[Yeah, please.] Hidan assisted with rather blushed face.
Zetsu was quietly patting Itachi on the back.
It was then when Kakuzu came over hesitantly, his face flushed with total nervousness. [Eh.. Itachi...]
Itachi did not move his eyes from Pein.
Kakuzu scratched his head wildly, then spoke out. [I.. I'm sorry!! I'm sorry for being insensitive enough to mention about the snake to you..!!!!]
[....It's ok.] Itachi replied shortly, his eyes still staring at Pein's.
[You sure you're ok..?] Pein again asked anxiously, and Itachi nodded slightly. [I'm... Ok.]
.
.
As members came back to the building, they did not go back to the lounge. Instead, they went to the lodger building, and found out that Pein has rented only one room.
Before members tried to complain, Pein told them nonchalantly that the counter said there's only one vacant room.
Soon the situation became like this: Tobi and Deidara fell into sleep on the one of the side bed, and Zetsu was dozing at the coner of the room, and the other members were just about to start poker game.
Itachi was sitting absent mindedly beside Sasori. Sasori asked him what is wrong, but Itachi only shook his head and called Pein.
[..Leader sama.]
Holding a toothbrush in his mouth, Pein looked back. [Hmme?]
[...Nothing.]
A minute later, Itachi called Pein again. [...Leader sama.]
[Yes? What is it, my boy?]
[...Nothing.]
[Heavens, What is wrong with you?] Both Pein and Sasori stared anxiously at Itachi.
Itachi shook his head nervously. [No.. Nothing... Mind play poker game together...?]
[Heh, leader sama, will you play?] Hidan twinkled his eyes to Pein.
Shrugging, Pein sat at the table. [Well, let's divide the team into two.]
Soon the team dividened into two: Pein, Itachi, Sasori VS Kakuzu, Hidan, Kisame.
Since Kakuzu was being acknowledged as an expert of poker game, almost everyone was expecting Kakuzu's team to win.
.
.
A daybreak came and sun rose.
Deidara, Tobi, and Zetsu woke up, and they found the other members had not slept.
Poker cards were disarranged on the table, and Kakuzu was crying. [How could this happen, how could!!]
[Why leader sama is so good at everything..?] Hidan and Kisame grumbled, thinking of the money they lost to Pein.
Pein was washing his face in the bathroom, and Itachi was packing his bag. Sasori was calmly drinking coffee.
[Well it's lucky for me and Itachi to have been team with leader sama. Right?] Sasori smirked, looking at Itachi.
Itachi nodded smiling. [Oh yes. We yearned our pocket money of two months.]
[Kakuzu, I didn't know that you're no match for leader sama.] Hidan complained to Kakuzu.
Deidara twinkled his eyes. [Oh, Kakuzu has beaten by leader sama un? Wow!]
[Guys, guys, let's prepare to leave.] Kisame rose from his seat.
.
.

.
.
[Have you guys enjoyed the vacation?]
Konan asked as she greeted came back members.
[Oh, yes!!!!] Members exclaimed altogether.
Pein slammed the door of the car and looked at Konan tiredly. [In fact, some of us did not sleep last night. I really need a bed.]
