Chapter 14: The Pranks and Corruption
-day 16-
Alex moved about the kitchen humming "I wanna die" while grabbing a bowl to have cereal. She poured the little cinnamon squares into it and grabbed the milk. "Tobi wonders what AJ-chan is humming."
"Hello, Tobi. Have a good nights rest? No hard feelings about me trying to attack you."
"Tobi realizes AJ-chan is better at chakra control when angry or scared, so, Tobi forgives." He grabbed his own bowl.
"Tobi you are a good boy and the song is called 'I wanna die.'" She looked at him. "It is a really good song." Alex started to sing it. "You always say that you love. And that there is no one above me. Never givin', always takin', never bendin', always breakin' I know you ain't a liar but you don't tell the truth And you're walkin on a wire wearing someone else's shoes. If you're handing out misery, I'll be the first in line. If you're the death of me darlin' I wanna die."
Zetsu walked in, shortly followed by Kakuzu and Hidan. "Tear it up, break it down Put my heart on your sleeve and wear all over town. I know you're a player but you don't play by the rules. An' I'm just another in a long line of fools. It's so complicated, first I love then I hate it. I'm laughing, your crying, your living, I'm dying. Somebody always loses but we still play the game. An' the fire will always burn you but we still the flame. Let's make it up, baby cause I ain't gonna fight. If you're the death of me darlin' I wanna die."
She went back to humming as she sat down and started eating. "Do you always have to fucking sing. Especially at this fucking hour."
"Hidan it is practically noon. So, you shouldn't act like it is five in the morn." She looked at him. "Besides, I could be singing Christian songs, very loud and obnoxiously but since I'm not religious I try not to."
The silver haired nin glared at her before eating his cold breakfast and drinking his sake. She turned to rest her back against the plant man and her feet on the money monger, pulling out her laptop, she turned it on.
Pein walked in and looked at her typing away on the thin device on her lap. Hating her for not telling him what was on it, but refusing to kill her because Konan liked her as a friend. He clenched his fist and scowled at her for being annoying and never obeying him. Oh, how she was lucky. He sat down glaring at the teen.
"Good morning to you, too, Mr. Grouch." Alex looked at him blandly before going back to whatever she was typing. "SHIT. NononononononoNO! Come on, don't do this to me. Ugh, stupid piece of fucking machinery. What, fucking, good is it to get a two thousand custom laptop if you delete everything on me."
She made to chuck it across the kitchen/dining room but Kakuzu grabbed it from behind and said. "You shouldn't throw things that cost that much."
"Like I fucking care." Deidara came in.
"What's the ruckus, hmm?"
"Can you blow this up?" Alex held up the laptop.
"Sure, Lex, un." He started to make a small clay bird.
"No." Kakuzu grabbed the thin object again and held it in his own lap.
"FINE!" Storming out of the room, she grabbed the blonde bomber and started down a hallway. Stopping she looked at Deidara. "Um…I don't know where your training ground is."
He then took hold of her wrist and led her in the opposite direction through a bunch of complicated twists and turns. They arrived at a metal blast door and he led her inside. The training ground had an average sized pond, metal floors that had dirt poured over it, blast proof walls with innumerous amount of burn scars, and splintered trees.
"Personal decorator." She joked and took a battle stance and he took his own. Taijutsu being the only thing she could do well.
-kitchen-
"Pein, I have to talk to you." Konan stated and he nodded his head to say go on. "In private." The both stood and left the kitchen.
Deidara sent another bomb at her and she flipped out of the way just in time to try and dodge another one. This blasted her off her feet and she landed face first in the sand. Crying out she rubbed at her eyes to get the sand out.
"Lex, un. You okay, hmm?" Deidara ran to help her and walked, with one of his arms wrapped around her, to the pond. He cupped his hand and started splashing her face with the water to get the sand out.
She sat back after awhile eyes red from the irrating grains and blinked them a few times. "I'm fine no Deidara, thanks." She stood quickly. "Shall we continue."
"Are you sure about this, hmm?"
"Y…" "WHAT!?"
Alex turned her head and looked at the door. "Isn't that sound proof?"
"Yep, un."
"And we just heard, Pein, right?" He nodded his head and she smiled knowing that the pranks had begun. "Should we go check it out? It might be fun and interesting."
They headed for the door, he opened and let her head out first. Running down the intricate halls, they headed in on the crime scene, the living room. Ashen faced Pein sat on a couch, looking at the calm blue haired female.
"So, what did we miss?" The others shrugged. "Konan, what did you do?"
She shrugged. "Told him I was pregnant." Konan smiled at the teen and winked quickly before looking back at the shocked man.
"Oh come of it Pein." Alex walked up to him. "It's not like you will be the one pushing out a squishy, squiggly, bloody watermelon." Hitting him on top of the head, the others gasped. "You act like someone just told you, you have a week to live or a couple of hours. Get over yourself, you ugly pompous ass."
Pein snapped out of his daze and glared at the teen that dared to hit him. And Konan chuckled, only the black haired girl would have the gall to insult him. "Can I be the godmother? And I promise, Zetsu won't eat the child."
The said man rolled his eyes before leaving the room. "No baby is allowed in my room. It wouldn't be so bad. No!"
"I agree with Zetsu's white half." She paused. "Two against one. Majority rules, sorry."
"I wouldn't trust you with any child of mine."
"Ah, but Pein, you do have to admit, out of everyone here, I'm the most trustworthy." The girl rest her hand on her heart when she indicated herself.
"She has a point there."
The leader grumbled and got up. "Come, Konan. We need to talk."
Alex headed off to her room, and bumped into an emerging Zetsu and fell on her ass. "Klutz. Here." He offered his hand and she took it. "Pein, someone trashed our room."
"What!? Our room is trashed?" Alex ran around him and to their shared room.
She looked around and gasped at the mess. Instantly, she checked under the bed for her books. "Where are they?"
"Where is what?"
"Shut up, Pein. I have more pressing matters than speaking to an arrogant ass-wipe." Alex was slightly under the bed trying to see if her books were farther back for some odd reason, but couldn't find them. "Crap. Fuck. Shit. This is not good, so not good."
Growling, Pein asked. "What is missing and what is not good?"
"My books and my money. Actually my money, which was hidden in my books." Konan unnoticeably smiled knowing that she did a good job for the prank to make them seem innocent. "If this is someone's idea of a joke, they are sorely wrong. Not to mention, they will regret." Alex cracked her knuckles after standing up and left the room.
-Later, that day (because I'm lazy)-
"So far, Kakuzu's money went missing, Sasori is missing puppet parts, Deidara's clay is missing, Zetsu is sick from drinking weed killer, Kisame's sword is missing not to mention he still looks like a clone," Pein stop as both Konan and Alex laughed at the fishman's predicament, "Tobi's room is painted a disgusting frilly pink, Itachi's hair was cut, and all of Konan's paper was burn. The only one who hasn't had anything done to him is Hidan."
"And you, Leader-sama." Alex spoke, a wide grin on her face.
"Are you suggesting that I'm pulling these stunts?"
"Well, what if all of our stuff is in your room? Wouldn't that make it your fault or Konan's? But she's also lost something and she's not in any condition to do so."
"I was in my room, and there is nothing there." Kakuzu spoke. "So, Hidan is probably not the likely suspect."
"Damn fucking straight, Jashin-sama wouldn't be fucking happy if I fucking resorted to something as lowly as this bullshit. And why the fucking hell would I steal fucking books."
"Hmm, I don't know maybe it is because people hide important things in them."
"Oh, like fucking what you little bitch."
"Let's see: money, records, private information, etc. The list could go on."
"Oh, so what did the fucking little bitch hide in her books."
"Mah-nay." She spoke, emphasizing each syllable forcefully. "Jeez, you are such an ignoramus."
The two were at it again, and it was ticking the red-headed leader off, severely. "Will you two knock it off, before I make you."
"Why don't you make me, Ugly?" She stormed out of the room, once more infuriated with two of the Akatsuki men.
Alex marched off to her shared room and sat down on a chair and watched Zetsu sleep. "Sorry about that, we didn't mean to go that far with the pranks." She got up and kissed him lightly on the lips before heading out of the room again, quietly closing the door.
He opened his eyes. "She poisoned us. Actually, she just got us sick." He stood up carefully and started heading towards the door to probably watch the next stunt she would pull. "With weed killer."
-Alex and Konan-
The stood outside Hidan and Kakuzu's room and opened the door, the men still in the kitchen discussing things. "Okay, should we just take all of it."
"Yes." Konan produced half a dozen clones and they, including the original and Alex, started grabbing Hidan's things.
"You know he is probably going to kill us for this."
"Isn't that where you get your thrills?"
"Good point…"
"Caught you two." Zetsu grabbed the two females and started to drag them to the kitchen.
"Hey, your sick. You should be lying down, Zetsu." Alex complained. "And your ruining my fun."
"Did you consider that Hidan would sacrifice you to his god. How stupid can you get, Alexandra?" He scolded her. "And you Konan going along with it. You encouraged her to do this."
His grip on the blue haired kunoichi tightened. "Zetsu let her go." Pein walked into the corridor hearing Zetsu.
He did and Konan walked over to Pein. "Explain." He held the teen close to him and she kept struggling to get out of his grip.
"The missing items are in Hidan's training grounds. Happy, pappy. Now put me down." When he made no move to release her she bit his arm.
She fell onto the ground with a thump and scrambled to her feet, running off to Tobi's room. Knocking on the door, Alex called in. "Tobi-kun." Entering the room, she saw the boyish nin with paint cans. "Do you want me to help repaint, Tobi?"
"Tobi is glad to see AJ-chan, and Tobi will take AJ-chan's help." She giggled at him and grabbed a paint roller.
"Sorry, Tobi-kun for doing this. Me and Konan just needed something to do. You know pulling menial pranks, shockingly, does pass the time."
"AJ-chan did this to Tobi."
"As a joke, a prank. And I'm trying to help fix now am I not." She stroke the brush over the one wall. "You're not angry are you."
"Tobi thinks it is funny." He copied her movement. "Why didn't AJ-chan allow Tobi in on it?"
She shrugged. "It was something for me and Konan to do with each other."
"Will AJ-chan sing a song for Tobi?" He asked looking at her hopefully.
She smiled. "You won't understand it." And she started singing.

Silence permeated the room for a few minutes, her thoughts on the plant man she had fallen for. A smile graced her face. "Tobi wonders why otome-chan is smiling?"
"Just thinking of something." She rolled the grabbed one of the paint brush and ran it across his masked face.
Tobi jumped back and wiped at his mask to get the invisible black paint off and Alex laughed at him. "Gottcha." She waved the clean paint brush around. "Fooled you, didn't I?"
He, in return, dipped his roller into the paint and slashed it down her back as she tried to run away. "Tobi is happy now."
Narrowing her eyes, she replied, "You did not just… Oh that's it little boy. Time to pay." She picked up the can of paint and dumped on his head just as Pein, Kakuzu, and Zetsu came in shortly followed by Konan.
"What is going on?" Pein glowered. "And you," he pointed at the teen girl, "come here now."
Timidly, she walked up to him and stood in front of him, knowing he was beyond furious. "Y…y…yes, Pein-sama."
His hand raised and sailed down to land roughly across her cheek. Crying out in pain, Alex fall on the ground, lightly holding onto her stinging face. She scooted away trying to get away from the tall formidable man, fear in her eyes.
He walked forward and grabbed the collar of her shirt and lifted her up to look her dead in the eye. Grabbing his hand with both of hers, she tried to break free. Scrunching her eyes up she kicked, landing on in his gut. Pein groaned and she dropped.
Alex scrambled to her feet and ran to hide behind Kakuzu. She ball her fist into the material of the cloak and buried her face into his back, whimpering in fear. He turned carefully, picked her up and took off.
Konan walked over to Pein. "It was just meant as a joke. No one was harmed in the process." He glared at her and she shook her head. "Come on, let me cheer you up." She dragged him back to their shared room.
A/N: O.O Okay I don't want to know what Konan is doing to cheer up Pein but sadly I do. Okay I think this chapter is craptastic and I had to force myself to write the majority of it but anyways...Zetsu what do you think
