If You Dare Ch 20
The Akatsuki got up and got ready for school. With all the members back in action they were confident that they would succeed at beating the other gang. They walked out the door and got into their cars and headed to school. They still needed to be able to get the gang to come to them and that was the tricky part.
They walked into the building and put their books into their lockers. They only hoped that the damage they would do to the school would be broadcasted on the news and radio. It would give the other gang a good reason to come after them. The messages they would leave for the other gang would appear to be threats against themselves.
All they had to do was wait until the school emptied out to put their plan in motion. The teachers and staff would arrive at the school first and see all the graffiti and the bombs would go off by Deidara's remote. School would be closed down and students would be deterred from entering the building. The mess would be extensive.
The school would be swept by a bomb squad and then left unattended at night after it was locked. They would find a window to get in through and hope the gang got the message to come find them on their turf. First they had to get through a day of boring classes, which was per usual. Half of them slept while the other half daydreamed.
The last bell of the day rang. Deidara and Sasori went out to get the duffle bag out of Sasori's trunk. They carried it in and waited in the darkened gym for the school to empty. Itachi and Kisame brought the spray paint in and sat on the bleachers with the rest of the Akatsuki. The excitement went from a three to a ten in most of the members.
Itachi, Pein, Kakuzu and Sasori were all at a three. They were anxious to stop them but weren't giddy about it. Sasuke, Zetsu, Tobi and Hidan were at a five at least. They were a little more excited about the prospect of doing something illegal as well as stop the other gang. Konan, Naruto, and Kisame were at an eight. They were scared but excited too.
Deidara was at a ten all by himself. The excitement in his eyes and the light in his eyes should have been scary. Sasori though welcomed it. He would never be upset about any kind of happiness that Deidara felt. After seeing Deidara in such a state as before he was so glad that Deidara looked the way he did now.
Kakuzu and Hidan went and swept the school an hour later. They had to be sure that no one was left in the building for this to work. To their delight it was as empty as a tomb, except for them of course. They made their way back to the gym to inform the others.
As soon as the others got word that they were able to begin the excitement shot up through the roof. They would have been stupid to not be feeling a little bit of fear as well. After all these guys that they were luring were deadly. Pein and Kakuzu had seen it first hand. They would have to be a lot smarter this time around.
Deidara and Sasori began placing the bombs in different places. The bombs were small but a couple would actually take out half of a classroom. They placed them in lockers, cabinets and teacher's desks. They placed them in the toilets and on top of the doors of the bathrooms.
Deidara had made about two thousand bombs just for this occasion and he was proud to be using them. He grinned the whole time they were being placed. Sasori kept his cool as he helped place them. He watched Deidara closely hoping that this wouldn't be the sun before the storm.
Pein and Konan took cans of paint and went to one location while Kakuzu and Hidan took cans and went to another. Kisame and Itachi went to the cafeteria and sprayed threats all over the walls. Sasuke and Naruto went to the commons area. Zetsu and Tobi planted viruses in the school computers spouting threats towards the Akatsuki.
Once finished the gang came together and stood in a circle around each other. Pein put his hand in the middle. "To the Akatsuki and keeping our school safe." He said. Everyone put their hand in on top of his and shouted "To Sonora High." They left and headed home. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.
Konan sat at the kitchen table sipping coffee. She watched the news as a bulletin came on. "It appears that vandals have broken into Sonora High sometime last night. Threats were spray painted on every wall of every room. It was reported that a bomb went off at 7:00 am this morning and that there is suspected to be more bombs in the building. Sonora High School is closed until further notice. We advise students to stay away from the building until it is safe." The anchor woman said.
"The threats were directed at a gang called the Akatsuki. It has been rumored that the gang that hit our other schools around the city are trying to call this gang out. Who the other gang is, is unknown at this time. Whoever the Akatsuki is, we hope they won't retaliate against this other gang. Violence is never the answer." The anchor man said looking back to his co anchor.
Deidara watched the bulletin and scoffed. He hit a detonator and another bomb exploded in Sonora High. He smiled to himself as he watched Sasori sleep. "Hey Danna, it has begun, un." He said mischievously. Sasori groaned and sat up. He watched the news as the camera crew stood outside of Sonora high.
"Hey Dei, are you enjoying yourself?" He asked the grinning blonde. Deidara turned and jumped on Sasori. "Yes Danna, this is way too fun, un." He said as he kissed Sasori's neck. Sasori grabbed the blonde and pulled him back between the covers. He cuddled up to the blonde and tried to go back to sleep. However Deidara was having none of that.
Kisame laid behind Itachi watching his raven sleep. He smiled at how innocent the weasel looked to him. He was still amazed at how long it had taken them to admit they loved each other and just be together. He hugged the smaller teen to him. Itachi stirred and rolled over to face Kisame.
He wrapped his arms around Kisame's neck and pressed his face into Kisame's jugular. He sighed in his sleep and Kisame's heart soared. Sasuke walked in at that moment and stood at the end of the bed with an almost excited look. Kisame looked up to Itachi's younger brother and gave him an expectant look.
"It worked. The school is closed until further notice and they just called in the bomb squad. Deidara has been on a roll setting off the bombs. It has been reported over the news that the other gang is calling us out. Pein says it shouldn't be long now before the other gang shows up." Sasuke said.
Kisame grinned. He was pleased with their handy work. A small "hn" Came from his neck. Itachi had a way of sleeping heavy and then waking up at the perfect moment. He rolled and sat up. Sasuke smiled at his older brother. Itachi gave him a soft look but never really smiled. Kisame was the only one privy to Itachi's smiles, tears, needs, and wants.
It made him feel like he was a god sometimes. His ego was beyond inflated on those moments. Sasuke turned and left to go find his bubbly blonde. He kicked himself for thinking that way but he had come to think of him as his. Now he just had to follow through.
Hidan and Kakuzu sat up in bed watching the news bulletin. Hidan was happy it worked but the fear that knotted in his stomach made him cuddle closer to Kakuzu. Kakuzu had learned how to read Hidan like a book and knew he was worried about him getting hurt again. He cuddled his silver haired boyfriend and rubbed his back.
Zetsu and Tobi sat facing each other as the bulletin ended. Zetsu smiled at Tobi and Tobi leaned forward for a kiss. The mention of the computers in the bulletin made Zetsu beam with pride. He was every bit a computer genius as the guy who created them. Tobi crawled on top of Zetsu and Zetsu pulled the covers over their heads.
Pein and Konan sat at the table planning out their next step. Pein was gearing up for a good fight while Konan was gearing up for possible heart break and the unclear outcome. Pein hugged her and whispered sweet nothings in her ear. She tuned him out as she began to harden herself to the possibility.
