Kay! Here's the next CHAPTER~!
Mathew twisted the knob to the kitchen sink turning it off before dunking his head into the warm soapy water and began scrubbing. Even with water in his ears he could still hear the giggling from the two baboons known as Becka and Tobi as they were having one of those 'Lee and Gai hugging moment' complete with the beach and sunset. It were times like these he thought Becka had finally lost it, but alas, she'd eventually grab reality again and prove him wrong.
A sudden tap on his shoulder made him jerk his head out of the water. Now this wasn't one of those love taps, this was a hard tap that made his shoulder pick in pain. He turned and rubbed his eyes. Everything was just a single blur. After blinking abit, it cleared and of course, there was Tobi.
"What?"
"Tobi wants to know why your head's in the sink." The masked man asked innocently.
Becka giggled in the background, "Mathew has been a victim to a prank."
Mathew sent her a glare as water dripped down his shirt making it stick to his skin. He could sense a grin under the masked man and wanted nothing more than to wipe that smirk off his face. Mathew disliked Tobi more then he did that creepy Kelly at the orphanage. Kelly was some weird orphan that always tackled him and hugged him and kissed him.
He made a face at the memory. There was something seriously wrong with that girl. Not to mention she kept calling him her boyfriend and always tried holding his hand. Boy, he sure was glad when she got adopted, it gave him more time to create plans for pranks or terrorize the snobby blondes.
Tobi was just as bad except he killed people and possibly snapped their wrist instead of hold it. He killed Konan, turned Sasuke to the dark side, and was a complete prick!
Ruffling his drenched hair, Mathew sneezed and snickered as he was facing Tobi when it happened. Tobi dramatically dropped to his knees and began wiping his face like it was acid. Mathew scoffed, "Drama queen." He muttered grabbing the dish towel and scratching it on his hair in hopes of drying it off again.
Becka grinned wildly at him and Tobi, "Well, that was amusing."
Mathew's eyes rested on the box of Pocky that had assualted him. He was surprised that he didn't feel a slightest bit of anger. He was irritated to have been pranked, but he was also excited at the thought of someone having enough guts to prank him, Mathew, the prankster.
Course whoever did this had an upper advantage since Mathew didn't know who would be so dastardly to do this. Only a coward wouldn't make themself known to their victim.
Whoever did this had a grudge against him obviously and wanted to keep their identity hidden. It wouldn't surprise him if there was another one on the way. But the question was, why? Or who for that matter.
Giving Becka a determined look, Mathew smiled slightly, "Someone's playing with fire right now and they're gonna get burnt."
He said before tossing the dish towel over his shoulders and leaving the kitchen with a smirk on his face.
-Break?-
Leader-sama laughed mentally like a made man as he heard Mathew's yelp from downstairs. He leaned back on the chair behind his desk, his hands resting behind his head as he smelled the sweet air of justice.
Mathew was just getting the start of his master plan. Finally there was someway to punish him without feeling the wrath of Konan. Okay, so he didn't have to go to the extend of trying to beat Mathew to a bloody pulp, but that boy seriously needed to get his ass beat.
Being an orphan gave him no excuse to act the way he was. Seriously, Pein couldn't even walk the streets of Amegakure without having people swarm him with creepy questions like 'so are you and the angel going out?' or 'I can't believe your the father of that cute boy!'
Heck, even the coucil members wouldn't stop bugging him. And to top it all off, he started recieving presents for Mathew. Things ranging from Ninja tools to clothing came in all sorts of sizes.
He told himself that it would all eventually blow off and everything would be back to normal within a month's time if he was lucky.
A chakra level came his way and he quickly sat up straight and put on his famous grim faces.
"Enter." He said briskly as Zetsu arose from the floor. Why doesn't he just use a door like every other normal person?
"Mission report."
Sasori and Deidara will be returning from their mission within a two hours time.
The plant man reported sounding disappointed. Probably because he wasn't able to eat one of them.
A mental smirk grew on his face, Mathew had been wrong. There was no way his associates could be defeated by a bunch of idiotic morons known as the Leaf Ninja. Especially those Sand Ninja.
"Alright, you are dismissed."
With a slight nod, Zetsu sunk into the floor leaving him alone in his office. Konan would probably be here with him if it weren't for Mathew fake crying.
Taking out his blueprints, Pein began scribbling down information on more pranks feeling like a mischievous child.
-Break?-
Deidara and Sasori both silently walked the empty streets of Amegakure as rain poured down from the dark sky. Neither of them had said much through the hours of travel for there was nothing much to talk about. Both were tired and their chakra was still recovering, so neither were in a chatty mood.
They were though highly aware of the high chakra signatures within the village. Konoha ninja were afoot and that always meant trouble. Not for them, but for the Leaf ninja. Even with their chakra low, they would be able to fight them off. Deidara snorted slightly as his gaze drifted to one of the roofs,
"These ninja sure are stupid un."
Sasori grumbled in agreement and felt a twinge of irritation. That was great, now they'd have to take the long way to base, damn.
Deidara shoved his hands in his clay pouch and walked casually along side the puppet. Sasori was fully awarewhat was going to happen and decided it would be best if the brat got to ignite his clay. If he said no, the blonde brat would have a fit and that wasn't something thier enemies should see.
They acted all big and bad outside the base, but the moment they stepped in, all hell broke loose.
"Just try not to draw enough attention brat."
"No promises Danna, un."
Thirty minutes prier to that, there were a few explosions followed by screams. Deidara listened in joyfully, "Here that? That's what true art sounds like, un."
"I'm not even gonna say anything." He just wanted to get home, create another defesive puppet, and then sleep. Argueing with Deidara would waste his energy.
"Why do you think there's so many Leaf Ninja here, un?" Deidara asked as they entered the forest. He was obviously in a talking mood now he had blown up something and wouldn't shut up.
"Brat, shut it."
"Pft, no."
"I'll poison you."
"Have fun explaining that to Leader-sama, un."
Sasori scowled under his breath, but said nothing as they moved silently through the forest.
They arrived back at the base to find Mathew laying down on his stomach in the middle of the floor with his arms and legs stretched out.
He looked to be covered in some type of paint and both found this highly amusing.
"Finally found a drug eh?" Sasori mused as the boy's head shot up.
"OMFG YOUR ALIVE!" He nearly screamed leaping to his feet and tackling the puppet into a hug. In the process the paint that covered Mathew started to smear, on him!
"Off of me!" He growled plucking the anime crying boy off.
"I can't believe your alive!"
Deidara jeered, "And I can't believe you'd think i'de get my arms blown off, un!"
Mathew's eyebrow twitched and his tackled the blonde, this time purposely splattering the paint all over his cloak.
"That hell Mathew, un!"
Sasori gave the boy a curious stare, "Why are you covered in paint?"
Mathew let go of Deidara and wiped some of the paint off his face, "Some coward pranked me."
"You mean again." Becka said tiredly who was laying down on the couch. Nobody had noticed her there untill now.
Mathew crossed his arms over his chest and huffed like a child, "I'll get that bastard back, you watch Becka, my master plan is about to commence!"
Becka rolled over and rested her elbows on the couch with her head on her hands, "And what is you 'master plan'?"
"Like I'm telling you!" Mathew sniffed, then he started coughing, "I'm taking a shower."
Deidara watched as he vanished up the stairs, "So who's the pranker? Hidan, un?"
Becka gave him a bubbly look, "If I were to tell you, you wouldn't believe me."
Sasori turned and faced her, "Who is it?"
Becka did a 'tsk tsk', "Sorry my little whore and bomber, but you gotta do something for me before I can tell you. Law of equivalent exchange, remember?"
A tick mark appeared on Sasori's head at being called a whore. Deidara flashed him an amused look before turning back to Becka, "What do you need us to do, un?"
Becka rolled off the couch and stood up, "If only my bitches and hoe's had as much enthusiasm as you did." She said with a gruesome sigh, "I guess I'm just lucky to have them I guess."
"Who's you bitch, un?" Deidara asked tipping his head questioningly to one side.
"Hidan."
"Really, un?"
"Yeah, decided it after I hit him with the frying pan at dinner a couple weeks ago."
"Huh..."
"Yeah."
Sasori cleared his throat, "We don't need to know, we'll find out eventually and there is really one person here that has the capabilities of pranking someone else and that's Hidan."
Deidara thought for a moment and slowly nodded, "Point taken, un."
Becka swatted the air, "Alright, but your gonna be rather surprised when you find out, toodles." Then she strolled up the stairs.
