The Akatsuki Corner
Episode 2.
Drowning In Your Lov....Hate
The large cave-shaped stage comes into the camera's view, spinning around the audience and zooming in on the three men seated around the stone table. Today, they are as usual, dressed in their black cloaks, glasses of water seated in front of them, except Samehada is resting against the wall behind Kisame.
" That won't touch me, will it?" Deidara asked, peering at the sword with a wary eye. " Last time it bite me."
" You wouldn't give it a jelly bean." Kisame sniffed indigently.
Itachi rolled his eyes, then glares at the camera. " What the hell do you want?"
Shinohara Ryouko's "Dancing Beat" Begins to play as the camera zooms in on the TV behind the three hosts. Clips of Deidara arguing with his hands, Kisame sharing jelly beans with Samehada, Itachi painting his nails, and Tobi drawing a smiley face on the toilet, flash across the screen before 'The Akatsuki Corner' appears.
The Camera zooms in on Deidara, who waves enthusiasticly. " We got suggestions from two people." He pouts, " Two people. That's hardly fun, now is it?"
" Not fun at all." Kisame shakes his head, " Though the ideas we got were very interesting. And some, we can't answer...."
" Like what?" Itachi muttered, peering down at his glass of water.
Deidara looks down at a small piece of paper with a list of topics on it. He scans it with narrowed eyes before huffing. " Do my hands drool?!"
" Yes." Kisame snickers, covering his mouth with his hand to stifle it when Deidara shoots him a murderous glare. The blonde then hands him the paper with a Superior smirk and watches as the blue-haired man read it. His eyebrows drew together. " ......" He looks up at Deidara, who's smile gets wider. " No."
The art-master stands up.
" No."
Deidara motions to the stagehands.
" NO!" Kisame jumps up to flee, but a hand latches onto his coat, stopping his retreat. He looks down at the pale fingers gripping onto him as though effortless. " Itachi-san...you wouldn't."
Black eyes lift slowly, a smirk twitching at the corner of his lips. " Oh really?"
A 30-foot tank of water is rolled onto the stage, water sloshing over the top and spilling onto the cold stone of the cave floor. Two men walk behind the five that are pushing, carrying what looks to be a set of chains and a large lock.
" Itachi!" Kisame whines, tugging at his cloak. " You really, really wouldn't."
Deidara is already at the tank, looking at it with some kind of mooney expression before turning to the audience. " Ladies and....men. " He smiles, " Today, we shall be conducting an experiment."
" Nooooooo!" Kisame wails, tugging harder, but getting no leeway from Itachi's grasp.
" I Give you.....'Drowning In Your Love!' " He whooshes his hands to the tank and the crowd starts to clap and scream and holler. Itachi stands up, dragging the almost crying Kisame across the stage and to the large tank, where a stage-hand is setting up a ladder.
" Just ask me If I can breath underwater! I'll be honest!" Kisame exclaims, eyeing the chains as Itachi and Deidara start wrapping them around him. " I swear!"
" We still won't believe you." Deidara sing-songs, hooking the chain ends together with the key lock. He clicks it shut, then motions for Kisame to ascend the ladder. " Don't worry, if you start to die, we have a craze on it's way."
" ON IT'S WAY?!"
" Go on." Itachi states, eyes narrowing, " Or are you a coward?"
Kisame glares before taking shaky steps up the ladder, gulping in a large breath of air and jumping in. The audience gasps, watching as the shark-like man floats slowly to the bottom, eyes narrowed and arms at his sides. Bubbles erupt from his mouth, probably cursing them both to hell and back.
Deidara taps on the glass." SO?!"
Kisame glares.
Gray eyes turn to look at Itachi, who's staring passively at his partner as he grumbles under the water. " What do you think?"
" I think he's going to drown if he keeps talking." Itachi mutters, stepping forward and pressing a hand to the cool glass of the tank. He tilts his head to the side, before pointing to his eyes, as they've both gone Sharingan. Kisame's glare drops, then he nods.
Deidara lifts an eyebrow, " You two confuse me. You really do."
Itachi shrugs, then glances at him, " Is this a test to see how long he can breath, or if he can breath at all?"
" Er....both?" The blonde looks sheepish.
Red eyes dull, before returning to looking at the man in the tank, who seemed to be turning a darker shade of blue than he already was. " Kisame?" He presses his hand against the glass again. " Kisame?" He knocks against the glass and the shark-man jerks. Itachi turns to Deidara, " Mystery solved, he can't. Now get him out."
Deidara salutes, before calling for the stage hands. A loud, annoying beeping sound fills the studio as a small yellow crane is driven onto the stage by none other than Angel herself. The metal hook drops into the water, a diver going in and hooking it onto the chains. The blue man is lifted out and set delicately in front of Itachi and Deidara.
Kisame chokes up water, before glaring at them both. " I hate you."
" You could have just told us." Deidara snorts, crossing his arms and turning up his nose.
Kisame's jaw drops, then his eyes narrow, then he's chasing Deidara around the tank, up the ladder and back into the tank.
Itachi sighs, then turns to the audience. " We'll be back after this short break."

Naruto, Sai and Sakura are seated on a riverbank, bare feet in the cool, rushing water. Naruto's laying back in the grass, blue eyes closed and hands behind his head. Sai's got a paintbrush in his hand and a scroll on his lap, painting the landscape across from them. Sakura's eating an orange Popsicle, leaning back on one hand.
" Hot isn't it?" She mutters to no one in particular.
" Mhmm." Both boys reply, one half-asleep the other in concentration.
Jade eyes roll over the scenery, before blinking, and lifting an eyebrow. A dark figure comes through the trees, walking with a bounce in his step and humming to some unknown tune. His cloak is black, with red and white clouds and an orange mask covering his face, but not his jet-black hair.
Sakura looks down at her Popsicle, then at the man who still didn't seem to notice they were across the river. " Hey, isn't he from Akatsuki?"
" Mhmmmm." They reply again, one still asleep and the other still in concentration.
Sakura rolls her eyes, before watching the bouncy man as he bursts out singing 'Do you like waffles' to no himself, then replying with 'yea we like waffles'. She leans back again, resuming her licking of the Popsicle.
It's not like he'd do much harm singing.

Clapping begins as 'The Akatsuki Corner' appears on the screen and the camera zooms out to focus on Deidara, who is sitting with Angel. Angel smiles, tucking a strand of red hair behind her ear. " Sorry about the delay, we had some...er..."
" Technical dificultes." Deidara mutteres, rubbing his neck with a scowl. Dark bruise marks could be made out from behind the high collar of his cloak.
" You started it." Angel shrugs, " Okay, so.." She peers down at the list from earlier. " So, Deidara, why are you known as the number one cross-dresser online?"
The blonde huffs, " I don't know what they're talking about, I've never dressed like a girl in my life."
Everyone gives him disbelieving looks.
" Well, I havn't!"
Angel snorts, " I don't believe you."
" I havn't!"
Angel picks up a remote, turns to the TV screen behind them and presses a button. A large picture of Deidara in a french-maid costume, Tobi standing behind him as the headless horseman with a peace-sign." This is from last years Halloween party."
" ANGEL!" Deidara cries, lunging for the remote, but falling on his face and Angel jerks it away a second before his hands touch it.
" Ah-ah." She shakes a finger at him. " You almost drowned Kisame. Itachi is very upset."
" He was doing it too!" Deidara hisses, crossing his arms over his chest. " And he is so not upset, he just stared at Kisame and handed him a towel! He didn't even get punished!" He prodded a finger into his chest, " I did!"
" That's because they're partners, They're used to each other." Angel shrugges, " Itachi may not show it, but he does care."
Deidara starts muttering about stupid Uchiha bastards and fishy mist sharks as Angel looks into the camera, " Alright people, I need suggestions! Ideas! I have a few, but I'd really like you're help. I have big plans for Tobi......" She blinks. " Where is Tobi?"
The blonde shrugs, " Said something about taking a walk."
