"AAAACHU!" A loud sneeze erupted from Itachi as a little bit of snot dangled from his nose. He looked over to his fellow Akatsuki members who all leaned away from him in there seats. The match between him, Kisame, Sun and Neptune was a success but now he hast to live with the consequences.
He was drenched in water during the fight and in all honesty the stadium wasn't heated enough for someone to sand around without his shirt covered in cold liquid. Deidara, who was sitting next to him was especially grossed out. "Dude. Maybe you should go home. Your getting sick."
"I'm not getting sick, a uchiha never gets- AAACHU!" This time the snot went flying anf landed directly on Sasori's face. The puppet master took a deep breath and remained calm as he pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped away this disgusting pice of slime that came from Itachi nose from his face.
Hidan laughed loudly. "So fucking much for the great uchiha clan, or maybe that was your ultimate? The 'surprise snot attack jutsu', a true fucking treasure of the uchiha clan."
"I'm not sick and I will not abandon my friend during the finales." Itachi said while pointing to the stage. Kisame was standing there with the rest of the finalists for the single match. The first match would be Yang versus Mercury but Kisame turn would come today or at least tomorrow.
Sasori spoke without moving his head. "Itachi, go to my hideout. There is a small pill box that should help you deal with that cold."
"But I'm-." Itachi wanted to say something but in that moment Sasori's head snapped and turned to Itachi. He stared at him with puppet like eyes. The puppet master was clearly furious that he had to wipe away snot from his face. The uchiha decided to not provoke the puppet master any more and left the arena.
Konan looked over to Nagato who sat next to her. "Who do you think will win this fight my love?"
"I'm not completely sure but it really doesn't matter. Kisame will win this tournament honey." Nagato said before he kissed his love.
The immortal rolled his eyes. "Urgh. Ever since they are fucking they are nothing more then... um... I don't know something annoying that has to do with romance."
"Clever." Kakuzu sarcastically noted.
"Fuck you Kakuzu, you know if they hadn't had sex they wouldn't be so annoying now." Hidan said obviously annoyed.
Kakuzu decided to engage in a conversation with his partner. "I'm sure they had these emotions for the longest time now. The sex was just a happened in the heat of the moment that bursted out of them and revealed there feelings to one another."
Hidan sighed loudly again. "I wouldn't mind to have sex. It seems those two are the only ones that are getting some."
Underneath Kakuzu's mask formed a little smile as he remembered what happened between him and emerald. A pleasant memory. "They aren't the only ones."
It took the immortal a moment to fully understand what his partner just said and there were so many questions he would probably never get a answer. "Wait, what the fuck!? Did you just... you have... but you don't... did you just Fuckin boast?"

The sickly Itachi moved slowly through the city. Most people were either in there homes watching the match, watching the match in some bar with friends or simply in the arena itself. Itachi didn't mind that one bit, it meant for him that he could walk in a modest silence to the hidden base.
As he walked he thought about basically everything that happened in this live and the life before. He knew that he died and that he had nothing that was holding him in that world anymore, his brother could handle whatever the future held for him. The problem he was fighting with was the fact that he didn't know what he wanted with this new life.
Konan and Nagato had there relationship and it's good for them, maybe every Akatsuki member has now the chance to find love and have a good life but what is a good life? It has always been his mission to protect the village but what exactly was he supposed to do now that the village is out of his reach? Find love?
But who would fit together with him? The only person he has shown interest in this world was Blake but it was clear to him that she liked Sun, at least more then him. Maybe he was just interested in her because she was a Faunus? Maybe he developed a thing for cats? He remembered he always liked cats but not in a romantic way.
All this thinking was starting to gat annoying. Normally when you think you find answers for your questions, not throw up more questions. He has reached the hideout in the outskirts of the city anyway so it's about time to stop daydreaming.
He walked straight in and was greeted with a well organized laboratory from Sasori. However some things were thrown around and strewn around. Itachi was cautious for a moment before he spotted the culprit. It was Neo who sat on a table while inspecting a small square device. "I almost forgot you were still here."
Neo looked up as she heard Itachi's voice. It was clear that she was feeling better since she smiled at the uchiha. She hastily grabbed a pen and a sheet of paper to scrabble something down. He held the paper up which read: "do you know what that is?"
Itachi looked at the device. "I believe that that's a bomb or something."
Neo looked at the device suspiciously until she finally shrugged her shoulders and simply dropped the device on the table. She soon grabbed another device and held the same paper up again like a little child.
"That is probably one of Minerva's spare parts." Itachi simply answered as he watch the little girl jump around in absolute delight. It somehow warmed his heart. She soon found another device for Itachi to inspect.
"I believe that's a simple- AAACHU- gun." Itachi sneezing caught the attention of Neo who immediately grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to one of the beds. Before Itachi could protest she already managed to tug him into a bed and even turned the heater up for a comfortable warmth.
Itachi looked at the little girl and smiled. "Thank you."
Neo shook her head and smiled. Before Itachi fell asleep he saw that Neo wrote down a question on a pice of paper. It read: "do you know something new about Roman?"
Itachi smiled and patted the head of the girl. "I know that you two will one day be reunited again. I promise."

The day continued after the horrible incident between Yang and Mercury. The Akatsuki members and the rest of the world saw how she broke one of his legs after the match was over. The naturally caused a uproar and forced the finales to stop for today.
It was a brutal sight but for the Akatsuki members it looked more like a complete out of character behavior. They new that Mercury was working in the same team as Orochimaru but what exactly would be the point of this? They managed to make yang look really bad in front of the world and kick her out of the tournament but they themselves are also out. This couldn't be there master plan.
The Akatsuki split apart after the even since the tournament will continue tomorrow, so they had the rest of the day for themselves. Sasori was still thinking about what the enemy might be planning but his train of thought was interrupted by Minerva who held him by his sleeve. He turned around and saw that she was looking away from Sasori.
"I wanted to ask you something. I know that this might be a bad time but I have the feeling I might not get the chance again." She said clearly nervous.
Sasori turned to her and smiled. "Whatever it is you can trust me. Do you want something changed?"
She started to play with her fingers. "Well, you see... I was thinking about me and the future. I wanted to have as many options as possible available in the future so I wanted to ask if it's possible for me to have children."
Sasori thought about it for a moment. "Well, it might be very unethical but I could remove your womb from you originally body and make a incubator out of it. Technically they would be your child plus the father who donated the necessary sperm."
"D-don't talk like that! I just wanted to know if it's possible!" Minerva said while being very embarrassed. The mere thought of having children now and the fact that she could only picture Sasori as the father were simply to much. Not that she specifically wanted children from Sasori, she just couldn't think of anyone els who might want to raise a child with a puppet made for battle.
"I answered you that it is possible, but we should check if the lack of a soul effected your body. I say we grab my tool from my laboratory and then get your womb." The puppet master decided while happily walking towards the laboratory.
Minerva followed him and frantically waved her arms around which was caused by embarrassment. "We can't just do that! I mean it's my body and I'm okay with you touching me but you said it was unethical. I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to."
Sasori had to laugh loudly at Minerva. "Trust me, that will be very low on the list of unethical things I have done."

Meanwhile Kakuzu was standing in front of the door to Cinder and her teammates dormitory. It was clear that they had something to do with the incident today at the arena and it was clear that this wasn't the whole plan, what was clear is that they would execute the plan very soon.
The greedy Akatsuki member already had the theory that they used Emerald's illusion abilities to make everyone see something entirely different from the actual truth. Sadly he had no way of proving anything, if Itachi would have stayed then he might have seen through the illusion but now he can't do much more then waving his finger around. Might as well do just that.
With one powerful kick the door to the room flew off the hinges and into the room. Without waiting Kakuzu simply walked into the room and looked around. To his disappointment the room was empty of people and completely clean. Whoever lived here is definitely gone by now.
Just before he was about to leave he noticed a small pice of paper on one of the beds. He simply took it and read it. "Leave before its to late. Emerald."
Kakuzu had to smile for a moment. This girl was worried about his safety, how very adorable and completely unfounded. "I'm going to enjoy whatever comes next."

It was getting late in the evening hours, the sun has already disappeared and the shattered moon was hanging high in the sky. The immortal of the Akatsuki was sitting silently in a almost empty bar with a half empty glass. Deidara gave him back the money he stole and now he was trying to drown his boredom.
He turned around as he felt someone tap his shoulder, he expected some drunk who wanted to start a fight but to his surprise it was someone who he didn't expect. It was Ruby with her gentle smile. "Hey Hidan. What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to ask you the same thing, come and sit next to me." Hidan said as he offered her a seat.
She simply shrugged her shoulders and took the seat next to the immortal. They stared to happily chat with one another. "So, how are things since the, you know, accident?"
Ruby sighed. "Not good. We were kicked out of the tournament but that's not the worst part. Yang is taking this really hard and feels really guilty, I mean she says that she is innocent and I completely believe her but... there is always this little bit of doubt in my head. Am I a bad person for doubting my own sister?"
Hidan put a hand on her shoulder. "No you are not a bad person, doubts are something that everyone has. The important thing is what you will do with those doubts. Will you help your sister or will you leave her alone? Your mind is your own, your actions matter."
The silver eyed girl smiled. "Thanks Hidan, I needed to hear that."
"Now to some more pressing matters. You seem like you need to a little pain killer that will turn your brain off." Hidan gestured to the bartender who gave them both a glass of alcohol.
Ruby looked concerned at the drink and then up to Hidan. "I don't know if I should drink that."
Hidan just laughed. "Trust me, sometimes alcohol is the best answer to a completely shitty fucking day. Don't worry, if you are able to kill then you are able to drink. Has always been my motto."
Ruby thought about this decision for a while before finally deciding to drink it, her uncle always had a flask with him so what's the big deal. The liquid went down her throat and instantly burned it. This burning sensation was made clearly visible on her face. Hidan naturally laughed and called her a light weight which Ruby took as a challenge. They drank another round and another and another.
Soon they started to sing together on a small stage in the bar in there half drunken state. They sang duets and solos from every from of music, from rap to hip hop and even heavy metal. The bar tender didn't mind it one bit since the two were singing so bad that the other guests stared to leave, giving him a excuse to throw the two drunken teenagers out after they got rid of everyone els and closing earlier.
Ruby and Hidan didn't mind it at all in there current drunken state. They had a great time and were laughing without any kind of care in the world. Arms locked together they laughed while walking around the night hoping to find something to have fun with.

Everyone of the Akatsuki were asleep at this point but Sasori and Minerva weren't. They wanted to check on her original body but overheard Ozpin and the others in the underground vault. With them was Pyrrha whom they explained what a maiden was and how there powers worked. Sasori and Minerva were stealthily listening on there conversation, non of them informed the Akatsuki about involving her in this situation and Sasori wanted to know what was going on.
Were they trying to outsmart or go against the Akatsuki? Were they planning on doing something with the body of Ember without telling them? Whatever it was the puppet master told his masterpiece that she should prepare for a fight if they decided to do something to her original body. He promised her that he would make it possible for her to have a children and he will do keep that promise no matter what.
They listen to the conversation and it seemed that they were explaining the student that she should become the next maiden and take Amber's power, that would however leave the body completely hollow and death would come shortly after. Pyrrha explained that she will accept and become the next maiden but needed some time on her own. The teachers understood and left with her, Ozpin however remained and waited until they were all gone. "I'm certain that you don't agree with my actions."
Sasori new that he was spotted and came out of hiding with Minerva at his side. "That puts it mildly. When were you planning on telling me this? When were you planning Minerva that you are planning on killing her?"
"I understand that you are displeased with me, but you need to understand that we have to move quickly." Ozpin said with remorse.
Minerva walked up to the headmaster and looked down at him. "If that girl becomes my successor then promise me that you will take care of her. Don't let her fall into the same fate as I have."
"I promise." Ozpin said as he left the underground vault. Sasori looked over to the body in the tube and then at his tools. He cracked his neck and popped some of his joints before walking towards the girls body.
"What are you doing Sasori?" Minerva asked confused.
"I promised you that I would make your life as human as possible, so I will scavenge as much as possible from you body now, your womb, you taste bunds, simply everything I can get. I will probably sit here the entire night and day but I would rather do it now before they decide to kill you off." Sasori explained while he prepared his tools. This will be difficult because one minor mistake might kill the body instantly and ruin everything. Minerva however was deeply touched be Sasori's determination and felt a greater respect then she already had.

The next morning came and Deidara was happily walking around this beautiful day. He simply had the feeling that this day would be a truly beautiful day, he wouldn't let this day be ruined by anyone. The artist didn't even think about the fact that both Sasori and Hidan didn't return to there room last night. They were probably doing whatever they wanted to do, it's simply on of his problems.
He saw Weiss in the distance and decided to properly greet someone of higher class. "Good day my lady."
Weiss was surprised and quickly turned around. As she saw that it was Deidara she smiled and blushed a bit, sadly her smile faded. "Sorry Deidara, we are having a bit of a crisis. Ruby didn't show up last night so I'm searching for her while Blake searches another area."
"Maybe I can help, did she leave any clues?" Deidara asked. He really didn't want to see a frown on that beautiful face of hers.
The heiress thought for a while and then remembered. "Last night she texted me that she spotted Hidan and wanted to hang around with him but I don't know were they met."
Deidara's smile slowly faded. "I know a bar were he sometimes gose, maybe we can get some information there."
They both went to the bar together and found out that both of them were getting drunk until the bartender kicked them out. He also told them the general direction were the two drunks were going afterwards. Deidara and Weiss used this information to ask around that area if they might have seen a teen with silver hair or a girl with silver eyes.
This investigation took them a long time, so long in fact that the sun was starting to set and the next fight of the festival would soon begin. That was also the time they got some useful information from a low class hotel owner, they they came last night rented a room for a entire year in there drunken state. He even showed them Hidan's signature on the contract.
Deidara had a bad feeling about this, not only because of the hell that Kakuzu will unleash but also because the owner told them that they haven't left the room jet. They walked to the door were the two scythe wielders went but suddenly Weiss stopped him. "Deidara? Do you hear that?"
There was a sound coming from the room, a sound he desperately hoped to not hear combined with screams. It was getting louder and louder until Hidan kicked the door down and saw the sight that would ruin his day.
