Just enjoy this chapter. Next chapter will be probably more fighting.

Enjoy

The days passed by without much happening. The only things that changed is that luckily the members of team RWBY and JNPR have slightly opened there arms again. However there were still some trust issues here and there, the question if Itachi had really killed his partner wasn't really answered even after Itachi himself confirmed it. They just couldn't brig themselves to believe that someone could actually bring themselves to murder there parents for no reason.

Other good news was that Roman gave them the location of a hidden cave outside of the city. Inside the cave was a few supplies and spare parts he could swipe from the white fang. But the biggest thing in the cave was a factory new Paladin which Sasori immediately drooled over and claimed for himself.

At the moment however it seemed like the white fang was laying low and even Torchwick wasn't getting any interesting information. So the only thing left to do for the Akatsuki is to simply enjoy there free time and prepare for the party that is coming up.

The Akatsuki were currently looking down at a match that they held in front of the entire class. Better put, they watched as Pyrrha completely dominated Cardin's entire team alone. That next battle however was actually quite interesting for Itachi and Kisame.

Pyrrha fought again but this time against Mercury. As they fought Kisame noticed that he was fighting mainly with his legs and the guns attached to them. "Hey Itachi, remember when we found that dead book store owner? Those weapons could be the ones that took of his head."

Itachi nodded and whispered back. "We know now that one of Orochimaru's teammates is able to kill in cold blood and that his other teammate has stolen powers of a maid."

Kisame chuckled. "Could we find another name for her power? The power of a maid doesn't sound very intimidating."

Meanwhile Yang got closer to Kakuzu. "Hey, I know that we are only starting to be friendly with each other again but since you helped us out against that robot I would like to make it up to you."

Kakuzu raised and eyebrow. "I expected only money."

Yang only smiled. "I'm going to give you something better. The dance is coming up so I decided to help you find a date."

"No."

"Aww, come on."

Kakuzu sighed. "Listen, im not interested in romantic feelings and even if I were I wouldn't need your help."

"Five Lien say that you can't." Yang said while waving the money in front of his face.

Without a moment of hesitation he agreed to this bet. "You will see me at the dance with a date."

In another set row the blonde artist was slightly nudging the immortal for attention. "So who are you going to ask for the dance?"

Hidan just shrugged his shoulder. "That's no big fucking riddle now is it? Ruby, if I managed to ask her while not in the presence of her sister. You are going for that rich girl right?"

Deidara slightly tilted his head. "I don't know, I believe she wants to go with some other person. I'll probably just wait for a bit in case she doesn't end up with anyone and just ask her for a dance at the party."

Sasori watched his teammates talking to one another about the dance or simply trivia. He also noticed that Nagato and Konan became quite more friendly with one another, like something happened between them. The puppet master didn't give that topic to much of his mind, he was never interested in romance and definitely not in this dance. However the thought crossed his mind how Minerva would feel about the dance. Would it be a good idea to bring her to this party?

After the class was over the Akatsuki split up in different directions around the school. Some tended to go around and spend some on there free time for nothing while others help decorate the ballroom for the party or prepare themselves for the party. They normally would do this but Roman hadn't given them any new information and Sasori's hacking device didn't find anything strange in the beacon communication tower jet.

So Itachi decided to go to the library alone, since Kisame decided to help with the ballroom and the library is mostly devoid of people at the moment. He hoped not to find any sort of females at the moment since he still remains the eye candy of many huntress, especially now since its known that he doesn't have a date for the dance.

As he looked around the library he spotted some students who were minding there own business and Blake sitting at a computer looking extremely exhausted. He noticed that the Fanus showed every kind of sleep deprivation there is, she was probably working non stop to figure out anything about the white fang. A idea just pooped into Itachi head how he could make his and her life easier.

Without a moment of hesitation he sat himself in front of her, to which she meekly looked at him through the holographic screen and then back to her work. Itachi waited for a moment before speaking. "You look like you need a break."

Blake didn't stop her work. "And you sound like everyone els."

"Let me guess, everyone is wrong right now and you are the only person who makes sense right now?" Itachi said with obvious sarcasm. The Fanus stopped her work, looked at him and continued her work in silence.

"Listen, I want you to go to the party with me. This way you get a break and I'm spared the avalanche of love from my probably syndicate like fan club." The uchiha offered her.

Blake simply shook her head at the slight exaggeration of his fan club, she did not denied the fact that there was a fan club dedicated to Itachi even after he got marked as a killer. Maybe that event gave him even more attention. "Listen, I have to find any kinds of hints of what the white fang is planning and not wast my time for stuff like that."

"Well, you are doing a poor job." Itachi simply stated.

"Excuse me?" Blake muttered as she stopped her work.

"Looking at you I can see that you barely slept and that you will almost definitely collapse from exhaustion after simply attempting a push up." Itachi said as if it was the simplest fact.

"And what do you propose? Just give up and wait for them to strike?" Blake barked at him.

"What color is grass?" Itachi simply asked.

"Blue. Wait, no green." Blake stammered confused.

Itachi lend back into the chair. "That is what I'm talking about. The entire plan of the white fang could be currently starting at you in the screen but you are to tired to even see it. I promise that the world will continue to spin after the dance and you can work yourself half to death again with some breaks in between."

Blake remained quiet for a bit while thinking for a bit about Itachi's words. Finally she sighed and closed the computer. "Fine. You win."

At the same time in another part of the library, Kakuzu was trying to read a book. However he couldn't concentrate because of that bet he made with Yang. How was he suppose to find a date for the dance in such short amount of time? This was one of the first times he cursed himself for being so greedy. Now he had to do something otherwise Yang will break one of his hearts while taking the money from him.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Said a female voice.

Kakuzu looked up to see Emerald sitting there with a smile. His hands immediately reached for his wallet which was luckily for her still were it was supposed to be. "They are more worth then a penny."

Without a word Emerald pulled out a little bit more money. "How about now?"

Kakuzu looked at the moment and then back at her. "What do you want to know?"

"Oh nothing big, just what the Akatsuki are up to." Emerald said innocently.

"You already know that you have Orochimaru in your team and that he told you everything about us. You want some more interesting stuff like the identity of our secret agent in the white fang. Don't act surprised by now they must have realized that there is a traitor amongst them." Kakuzu said seriously.

Emerald only smudged. "And what will it cost me? You are a man of money now state your price."

Kakuzu only smiled underneath his mask as he pulled out his wallet and dumped its entire money on the table. Next to the money he put a deck of poker cards. "Win all of my money and return it afterwards. If you managed that I will give you the name."

"Deal." Emerald said as she put her wallet onto the table too.

Fearing that Kakuzu might kill her if she attempted to cheat at this game of poker. They decided to each put a bet of money on the table and the winner of the game would naturally take the money. Emerald had the mission to retrieve as much information out of the Akatsuki as possible and since Orochimaru mentioned that Kakuzu liked her she was hell bent on making him tell her everything.

Sadly the cards were not to friendly with her and Kakuzu managed to take her entire money. "Well, that was fun but it's over."

"Wait, wait! I can still play." She said hoping that she could still turn this around. She couldn't return to the others empty handed so she decided to take drastic measures. She looked around to see if anyone was watching and took of her vest before putting in on the table without a word.

Kakuzu raised an eyebrow and simply shrugged. "If that is what you want, so be it."

The game continued and again emerald lost game after game. With nothing to gamble away she lost more and more of her clothes. With each loss of clothing she started to blush harder and harder while hoping that no one would see her right now.

She lost the game again and was now sitting in nothing but her underwear in front of Kakuzu while blushing extremely. Kakuzu just shook his head. "This is just getting depressiv. Why won't you just give up?"

Emerald didn't even think about giving up and slowly reached for her bra to unclip it with shaking hands. Kakuzu stopped her with a loud sigh. "Tell you what, you win the next game and I will return your clothes and promise you that we will play again for the name if you wish. However if I win I will from this point on own your body. I should remind you that if you stop playing now I will never tell you the name."

Emerald froze but decided to gamble for it. She only had to get it over with, after she would return with cinder to Salam there would be no way fir him to claim anything from her. Again she lost the game.

While blushing she tried to cover herself up with her arms as it now dawned to her what she just did. She agreed to him that he could now do whatever he wanted with her. To her surprise however he simply tossed her clothes at her. "Get dress, get yourself a nice dress and go to the dance with me as a date."

She looked at him completely confused. "Is that what you wanted to do when you said owning my body?"

"I could have probably find better words to describe my intentions but this might have taught you not to gamble so much. Luckily for you I'm not that interested in meaningless sex." With those words he left the half naked girls alone in the library to change.

The time of the party has arrived and the students of the academy are moving towards the entrance were Yang was waiting to welcome everyone. This was her job and she wanted to see who came with who to the dance. A little bit of gossip material couldn't hurt right?

The couples and singles entered the building one after another enter and Yang had some small conversation with them as she entered them into the guest book. With some guest however she had a more friendly conversation.

"Well, well, well. Who would have thought that you two come here together?" She said sarcastically at the pair before them.

Nagato stood there in a nice looking black suit with a little smile while rubbing the back of his head while Konan was next to him in a beautiful dark blue dress. The paper angle was blushing bashfully as they were holding hands. "Well, you see we thought that this might be a good moment to make it official."

Yang giggled happily as the couple continued to walk and join the party. The next guests to arrive were Kisame and Deidara who both wore the same suits as Nagato and had no partners with them. "No luck?"

Deidara just laughed. "Well es at the end of the party now won't we?"

The next duo that entered the hall was Sasori with Minerva at his side, he two wore a black suit while the Maschine had a little neckless of flowers. "So are you on a date with your...partner?"

Minerva looked slightly to the side. "I wouldn't call this a date, since I'm not capable of dating in my current state."

The next one who entered was Ruby who had slight difficulties to walk in high heels. "Hey sis, looks like I'm alone. I guess I will join the others."

Ruby was able to disappear before Yang could say anything or do, however her big sister instincts told her that there was definitely something she was hiding. Hidan soon followed and tried to a awkwardly get away from Yang. "Looks like I don't have a date, oh well. That's just my luck."

Yang Stopped him before he could get past her. "You are going with Ruby right?"

"How did you- I mean fuck no, I mean I respect her way to much." Hidan stammered as the color from his face slowly faded. Yang sighed and stepped aside for Hidan to pass.

"I can't control with whom my little sister goes, but I will hurt you if you hurt her. Got it?" She said as the color in her eyes changed to red. Hidan gulped but quickly moved away from her to Ruby who was waiting for him.

After Uang cooled down a bit she greeted the next two guests, Kakuzu who had his arm interlocked with Emerald. "Guess I will need to pay up huh?"

"Not right now, the bet is complete if I dance with her, and we will dance. Through the entire night." The Akatsuki member said to yang but also to Emerald to make it clear what he is planning for the night.

The next couple to enter was Itachi and Blake who looked quite happy with each other's company. Yang smiled at her teammate. "I knew that you would come."

Blake smiled weakly. "Blame Itachi, he was the one who convinced me."

The dance went on as everyone was having a good time with there parents. Well, almost everyone since Minerva wasn't able to dance with anyone thanks to her massive body. Sasori was next to her and simply watched the dance unfold, soon he noticed that Minerva looked quite depressed because of her situation. He didn't blame her, she was young and had a desire to dance and feel companionship.

"Twenty Minutes. Met me in twenty minutes at the roof of the school." He told Minerva before hastily disappearing. She didn't know what he was planning but decided to to to the roof, because of her massive body she would take twenty minutes to reach the roof in the first place.

Meanwhile Kisame was sitting with Jaune at the at the side lines while watching the couples dance. The sharks eyes wandered from one Akatsuki member to the other, from Hidan and Ruby's awkward and wild dance to Nagato and Konan who were always close to one another. Finally Jaune spoke and offered Kisame to tost with there cups. "To the socially awkward."

"Your date didn't work out?" Kisame asked the blonde boy next to him.

"No, I wanted to ask Weiss but she decided to ask Neptune." Jaune said while he hung his head low.

"No she didn't, she came here alone. That's why Deidara ditched me and started to chat her up. They are dancing together right over there." Kisame said as he pointed at the two who are laughing while trying to preform some sort of walz in this unfitting Musik.

Jaune looked at the two dancing and then back at the shark. "I don't understand, I mean I saw her asking. Why would he say no to that?"

Kisame just shrugged his shoulder. "Don't knows but your chance of chatting her up is over. If you are however still interested in a partner i would try my luck with Pyrrha if I were you. She has come alone and you are probably the only one who she would agree to dance with."

Jaune looked genuinely confused at Kisame and then over to Pyrrha who just went to the balcony. "Me and Pyrrha? I mean, she has no date?"

Kisame sighed as he grabbed Jaune's cup so he could push him out from his seat. Jaune slightly tumbled forward before he looked back at Kisame who urged him to go. "Just go already you moron."

Jaune still didn't understand but followed Pyrrha to the balcony. Now Kisame was alone again but not to long before Itachi sat down next to him. The shark looked at his partner. "Didn't your date go to well?"

"What date? I used her so that the fan club leaves me alone. I left her with Sun and Neptun over there so she can enjoy herself." The uchiha said in a calm and collective voice. He did not care that he wasn't dancing with Blake anymore, we was happy that she was enjoying herself with or without him.

Soon Nagato and Konan joined the two Akatsuki members. Kisame smiled at the couple. "Done with dancing?"

Konan smiled. "No, just a little break."

Itachi smiled at the two. "You made it finally official?"

"Without any kind of doubt." Nagato said as he passingly kissed Konan on her lips. She immediately gave in to his kiss and held him close.

Kisame has a toothy grin on his face. "Well, this may be a surprise to you but we already knew."

Nagato looked confused at his teammates. "How did you know?"

Itachi looked slightly to the side before answering. "We were cleaning our room and then we found..."

Both slightly blushed as they slowly realized what there teammates found in there room. Moment of silence passed before Kisame reviled there find with a laugh.

"We found the gag and the blindfold you two kinky lovers."

Immediately Konan blushed extremely red and tried to hide her face in by burring it in Nagato's chest. Kisame made fun of them and theorized what kind of things they already did together to torture the poor paper angle. Nagato was unable to say something as he was petrified by the fact that Kisame guessed two out of three times correct what kind of position and toys they used.

Meanwhile Kakuzu was still dancing with Emerald who tried to get away from him. "You won't be able to help your teammates with whatever they are planning today."

Emerald froze at those words and looked up to Kakuzu. "Don't act surprised, I know that Orochimaru is in your team and that his is the perfect situation to plot something. Since I don't know what it is I we won't be able to stop it, but at the same time I know I can make it harder for you by keeping you occupied."

Emerald frowned at Kakuzu. "And what if i scream, what will you do then?"

Kakuzu smiled under is mask and leaned closer to whisper in her ear. "You won't because that would risk your plans. However if you do plan to scream I would like to remind you that I can easily kill you and dance with your corpse without anyone knowing."

Emerald started to grind her teach as she realized that there was no escaping. Kakuzu arms were around her and she knew that he wasn't kidding with his threat. "You could have at least said it a bit more romantic. We are at this party as a couple right?"

Twenty minutes have passed and Minerva reached the roof. She immediately spotted that there was was a table with two chairs, only all of there legs were higher so that someone here size could use it.

There was music playing from a scroll on the table. It was a slow and wonderful song to have a romantic dance with. From around there corner Sasori entered the roof, however he had mechanical leg and arm extensions on with gave him a slightly bigger appearance then Minerva. "What is all this."

Sasori smiled as he walked over to her with a little bit of uncertainty in his invention he quickly scraped together in twenty minutes. "I saw that you were dying to have a dance with anybody but couldn't because of your body and that everyone saw you as a simple Maschine. I however know that you aren't a simple Maschine, so I ask you if you would allow me the honor to give me a dance."

Minerva laughed but happily took Sasori's hand and expected his proposal. Af fist both had to get used to there conditions but soon they both managed to dance fluently. They both spend the rest of the evening dancing to the slow music on top of the roof and underneath the moon.
