Hidan woke the next morning, tired and annoyed. He went to the bathroom.
Kakuzu rolled over in bed dreaming of money and whatever Kakuzu's think of when a 'Crash, F**k, Ow' noise came from the bathroom and woke him up. He tried to go back to sleep, but found it was now impossible.
Kakuzu walked through the halls with his robe and made his way for the kitchen. The only other person up at this time in the morning and ready to go was Itachi. Itachi looked up from his coffee.
"You aren't usually awake this early." Itachi said in between sips.
"Let's just say Sunshine's up." Kakuzu groaned as he poured himself some coffee and sat across from Itachi.
Itachi chuckled. "You aren't usually awake unless you have something on your mind. Am I right?"
Kakuzu glared at Itachi and sighed. "It's the 2nd day Claire's got to live, right?"
"If I'm correct." He said as he glanced as Konan walked into the room.
"Arrgh." she mumbled as she poured some coffee for herself and sat down. "How can you people be up this early? It's a Saturday for Pete's Sake!"
"Just because you don't have to work, you shouldn't complain. You have the TV to yourself for hours." Itachi commented back.
"That's what you think." Konan mumbled as she drank her coffee.
-flashback-
"Konan! I want to watch my show!" Pain yelled as he grabbed the clicker from Konan.
"HEY! I was watching that!" Konan yelled as she took the clicker from Pain and changed it back to Buffy.
"No Way!" Pain took the clicker again and changed it to Family Guy.
"That's it!" Konan said as the fight for the clicker turned into an all out war.
-flashback over-
"I see…" Itachi said as Kakuzu tried his best to keep from laughing. At that moment, Hidan walked into the room.
"Kakuzu! Help me!" he said as blood trickled down his forehead and arms.
"Jeez! What'd you hurt yourself with this early?" Kakuzu groaned.
"That aftershave crap." Hidan complained. "I don't want a beard, and everyone says you have to use aftershave, so I did, and it hurts like H**l."
"Kudos Sherlock." Konan sipped.
"So!? You're just a girl!" Hidan yelled.
"JUST A GIRL!?" Konan yelled.
Pain and the rest of the Akatsuki came in wearing pj's and rubbing their eyes.
"What the H**l do you think you're doing at this hour!?" Pain said while massaging his temples.
"Don't ask." Itachi said as he got up and went to sit in the living room with his second cup of coffee.
Pain sighed. "Fine, since everyone is up, somebody make breakfast." he said while he eyed Konan.
"Oh no! I folded all your clothes yesterday! I want no crap from any of you!" Konan growled.
"I'll make breakfast, Un!" He quickly said while sensing the acward moment.

Later that day, Claire was taking a walk to the café up town. She sighed contently and made her way past Ichiraku Ramen and stopped. She sighed and went to Ichiraku's instead.
"Welcome Claire!" Ichiraku welcomed her. "What'll it be today?"
"Oh, the usual." Claire sighed as she put her head on the table and took a look at the guy sitting next to her.
He was tall, and wore a big black cape that covered his eyes. He seemed impatient by the way his fingers thumped against the table. When his bowl came, he quickly started to eat, but didn't put his hood down.
'These people are so rude…' Claire thought as her Ramen came and she quickly devoured it. She thanked Ichiraku and left. The man left too.
She walked calmly, figuring the man would turn, but after all the twists and turns she made, he still followed. She tried not to look back, for fear she make eye contact and get sucked in some Genjutsu.
She reached for a kunai in her bag as the man wrapped his arm around her waist and covered her mouth with the other.
"You're coming with me Claire…" the name rolled against his tongue with a taste of disgust. Claire realized who this man was.
'Jashin!'
--
Hidan sat in the store now, listening to his ipod and singing. He looked around and made sure no one was listening.
"This time, I wonder what it feels like, to find the one in this life, The one we all dream of, when dreams just enough. So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling…" He began and stopped as Blake ran in with blood trickling down his forehead and fell over and began breathing heavily.
"What the H**l!?" Hidan yelled as he hopped the counter and turned him face up. Kakuzu, Kisame, and Deidara followed.
"What happened, Un!?" Deidara asked.
"I don't know!!" Hidan yelled as Itachi came in and put a finger on his lips.
Itachi walked over to Blake and checked his pulse. "He encountered a really strong ninja…"
"Dur Weasel!" Hidan yelled. "When'd ya think that?"
Blake cleared his throat and whispered in Itachi's ear. Itachi's eyes widened. And he stood up, causing Blake's head to fall on the floor.
"We need to talk to Leader!!" Itachi yelled. "NOW!!!"
--
The Akatsuki came back, Kakuzu carrying Blake. Kakuzu threw Blake on the couch and went to look for the Leader with everyone else.
--
"Come on Konan! Can't you do this one thing for me?" Pain begged.
"Out of the question!" Konan turned and folded her arms.
"It'll only take a minute!" Pain said.
"No." Konan said. "I've done enough stuff for you today!"
Pain then takled Konan as Hidan opened the door. Hidan stood there for a minute, and saw that Pain was on top of Konan, fighting over a box of Band-aids. Pain then saw Hidan and fell off the basement couch.
"WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE!?!?" Pain screamed, flustered.
"We had to talk to you, but I see this isn't a good time…" Hidan began as he started to close the door, but Pain caught it with his foot.
"What?"
--
"What happened!?" Pain yelled.
"We told you. Some dude in a black cape took Claire-"
"Who's Claire?" Pain asked.
"One of our customers." Itachi continued. "He took Claire and Blake tried to stop him but now he's in this state."
"What'd he look like?"
"Blake said he had maroon colored eyes, and a red triangular birthmark under his right eye." Itachi said. Pain stared at Itachi with disbelief in his eyes. Pain got up and began to pace.
"It can't be who I think it is…" Pain mumbled.
"Who!?" Hidan yelled. Pain looked at him and pulled some gum out of his pocket and gestured for him to take some. Hidan groaned and took 2 pieces.
"Who?" Itachi said at a much lower volume then Hidan.
Pain stared at Hidan.
"What? Stop staring at me!" Hidan said. "I'm not gay!" But Itachi got it.
"So it's-"
"YES!?!" Hidan said.
"It seems my old colleauge has come back to make everyone's life hell." Pain sighed.
"WHO!?!?!!?" Hidan screamed in Itachi's face.
"JASHIN YOU DUMB***K!!!!" Itachi screamed back. Hidan fell over the back of the couch.
"What? You asked." Itachi said, recomposing himself.
Hidan climbed back over the couch. "That was uncalled for…" but Pain suddenly got up and walked downstairs to the basement.
"Hey! I was talking to you!" Hidan yelled after him, but everybody already left, so he followed, cursing under his breath.
--
Pain unlocked the door that was always locked in the basement. As he opened it, he motioned for everyone to be careful. He walked in, and walked down a hallway full of doors, saying things like, 'Inuyasha', 'Pokemon', 'Bleach', and 'Avatar' on pieces of lined paper and stapled to the doors.
"What's up with this, yeah?" Deidara asked, awestruck.
"I've never seen anything like this before…" Kisame whispered.
"OMG! This door says Family Guy!" Hidan laughed.
Itachi sighed. "Of course it says that, this is the portal room."
"Portal Room!?" Everyone asked.
"Yes." Pain answered. "This room came with the house. All the previous owner did was gave me the keys to the room and said "Be careful." And then he ran as fast as he could."
"You've got to be kidding me. Tellitubbies!?" Kakuzu asked.
"It has portals to every place you desire to be." Pain said. "Even if it's Dora."
"Wiered…" Hidan said as he bumped into Kakuzu. He looked around and read what it said on the door they stood in front of.
"To Hell?" Hidan asked. "What's up with that!?"
Pain turned. "Kakuzu." Kakuzu looked up. "Kisame." Kisame looked at Leader. "Itachi." Itachi stood firm. "Deidara." Deidara straightened up. "And Hidan." Hidan stopped laughing at his Family Guy jokes. "Are you ready?"
"Ready for what, un!?" Deidara stuttered.
"THIS!!!" Pain opened the door and braced himself behind it.
Itachi understood what to do and grabbed Kisame and pulled him with him through the portal. Kakuzu followed his lead and grabbed Deidara's hand and Hidan's arm and jumped through with Hidan's cussing going on.
Pain closed the door and stood with his back against it.
"Good luck to you all." Pain said in between breaths.
--
Itachi fell feet first as everybody else fell on top of each other. People stared at them. They had a very scary appearance to them.
"Owie!!!" Hidan sniffed.
"Suck it up for now guys. We have to blend in." Itachi said.
"That's easy dude!" Hidan said. "Let me tell you what you have to do."
--
The Akatsuki now went on without shirts or their cloaks and walked around.
"Oh I'm SUCH A Badass!" Hidan said loud enough for everyone to hear. "I died because I was hanged for killing a litter of puppies!"
"Wow, that's harsh." A big gruff guy said. "I got ran over by a truck."
"Yeah…" Hidan said as he coaxed everyone to keep moving.
"This is starting to make me feel real uncomfortable…" Kakuzu whispered as he watched the girls eying him.
"Enjoy it while it lasts, dude!" Deidara said as he flexed his muscles for the women. Itachi dragged him away.
"We have no time to flirt." Itachi said.
"It's like midnight already guys." Kisame said. "We should turn in for the night."
"Fine…" Itachi said. And they all layed down and looked up to the sky, and eventually fell asleep. Hidan doubtfuly looked up at the sky and asked himself: 'Where are you Claire?' before he fell asleep.
--
Well, Claire was tied up to a chair next to Jashin in his tourure chambers. Jashin was looking into his crystal ball and scowled.
"Well, looks like the idiot brigade is here to save you. Oh well, I'll still win in the end." Jashin laughed. He then left the room and left Claire on her own.
Claire then chose that exact moment to break down. She didn't want Jashin to see, for fear he call her a baby.
'Where in hell are you…!?'
--
Yay! Another Chapter finished, and a long one too! You know what I don't own, but I do own Claire VanGoph, Blake Harvy, The way Jashin looks, Eiji, Kimiko, Kazuhiko, and the Portal Room! Bye bye for next time!
