The newly engaged Itachi and Dana and Marisol and Deidara had arrived home from the fabulous Cancun Sports Illustrated photo shoot. Sasori had left them instructions at the resort to meet them at the new house. It seemed that most everything had been moved to the new house. Itachi, Dana, Deidara and Marisol arrived at the new house with their entire luggage.
"Oh my god! This house is even better in person than it was in those real estate listings, yeah!" Deidara said as he tugged luggage out of the trunk of the cab. Once everything was unloaded they quickly made their way to the front entrance…dying to see the house. Deidara was the first to open the door. "WE'RE HOOOOOOOOOME, YEAH!" he yelled through the house. Everyone else was still unpacking and organizing, but Tobi dropped what he was doing and went running through the upstairs and down the staircase to greet a much missed Deidara.
"DEIDARA! DEIDARA! DEIDARA!!!!" Tobi ran right into him and wrapped his arms around Deidara's waist. It was as if little hearts had appeared above Tobi's head. "Oh Deidara! I missed you! I missed you so much! Sasori didn't but I did! I did!"
"Tobi! Let go of me, yeah! I have all this luggage and you aren't helping at all, yeah!" Deidara scolded him.
"Oh sorry, sorry." Tobi quickly let go.
"I'M ENGAGED!" Itachi announced as he came through the door.
"What? What do you mean you're engaged?"
"Did he say engaged or enraged?"
"You're engaged?"
"Engaged? Everyone else shouted from around the house. Dana came in and stuck her finger in front of Tobi who was closest to her. Tobi gasped. Soon everyone else came to look at the amazing site on Dana's finger. But for the time, the admiring of the new engagement would have to wait because there was much unpacking to be done. This was Akatsuki's new house. They had come a long way from the simple 3 bedroom apartment when it was just Itachi, Kisame, Zetsu, Deidara, and Sasori. There had been a lot of changes and a lot of chaos since those days. Of course a newer, bigger house could only mean newer bigger messes…
"Oh by the way, you all have a master bedroom. If you want it split you're going to have to build a wall petition or something." Sasori just dropped the bomb.
"Oh, oh! Let's go see it!" Marisol said as she grabbed Deidara's hand and they headed for the master bedroom. Itachi put his luggage down at the door and examined the numerous boxes that was scattered around the living room.
"Where is our stuff?" Itachi asked.
"Okay, about your stuff, we packed everything that was in your room very carefully. If anything….." Zetsu's thoughts were interrupted by screaming from upstairs.
"Holy hell, I thought this house would be big enough that we wouldn't have to put up with anymore screaming!" Sasori said annoyed. A few moments later Deidara and Marisol came running abck from the master bedroom.
"Dana! Get up here! Come see this!" Marisol yelled at her. And so Dana went rushing up the staircase.
"Hey, I'll be there in a minute…now about our stuff, who touched it?" itachi asked with arms folded.
"Okay, okay just relax me and Hidan packed everything carefully but I don't think we got all of Dana and Marisol's stuff because we didn't think we could get in to their place. Oh and there's some kind of invoice or something to that engagement ring in one of your pants pockets, we found it there by accident."
"Oh thanks, I need to file that. Alright, so then basically what you're saying is that we have to go to Dana and Marisol's to move them out….and by the way why the hell is none of this furniture ours? What happened to that ugly ass couch we had?" Itachi asked, but now he was venturing in to the kitchen. Lola started to panic as he explored the cabinets, She started to shake her head 'no' in hopes that someone would see her and divert Itachi from finding the temporary replacement dishes. She was now flailing her arms behind Itachi as Zetsu explained the entire house situation and how all this beautiful furniture appeared. Itachi opened up one of the cabinets and stopped talking. Lola quickly dove behind Sasori. Itachi just started for a moment.
"Zetsu…….what the FUCK are these dishes?" Itachi asked turning around facing Zetsu with a horrible Correlle 'unbreakable' apple patterned plate.
"Uuuuuhhhh……about the dishes….uuuuuhh…..oh look at the time!" Zetsu quickly disappeared into a safe venus flytrap shelter.
"ZETSU!" Itachi yelled.
"No, no Itachi don't blame Zetsu….I broke the dishes." Lola said a little on the terrified side. She bit her lower lip.
"No, Itachi, Lola didn't do anything I broke the dishes…all the dishes."
"No Sasori, honey I can handle this…I'm a woman who stands her ground, a woman of confidence." Lola said.
"A woman with balls." Sasori said softly knowing that she really shouldn't fess up to this.
"You, you, you, you….you broke the Noritake 'colorwave' pattern dinner wear?" Itachi asked clenching the stupid apple plate harder.
"I'm so sorry, it was a complete accident. I was moving the boxes and I had them stacked too high and I didn't read the label and…" Itachi cut her off.
"And you replaced the dishes that Deidara and I personally picked out with these horrible lame ass unbreakable dishes from the Wal-Mart 'Home' aisle!?!?!? We woke up at 4:30 in the morning just to get to that Macy's home sale! The first 100 customers through the door that day got an additional 40 percent off any home purchase….AND WE HAD THOSE DISHES PICKED OUT FOR MONTHS! NOW, THESE STUPID FUCKING APPLE PLATES AND DUMB ASS APPLE CUPS!? OOOOH LOOK SHIT ASS APPLE BOWLS TOO! I HATE APPLES!" Itachi yelled putting the horrid plate back.
"Itachi, I'm so sorry, it was all Wal-Mart had and I knew you'd hate them but we just had to have some dishes to get by until we could get a new nice set." Lola said. Sasori was about to step in to this because he wasn't going to put up with Itachi yelling at HIS woman. Itachi immediately calmed down.
"Hmmmmm…you know what, it's okay Lola. Now me and Dana can pick out an amazing china pattern for the wedding and use it as our everyday china here!" Itachi said focusing on the positive.
"Great, even more expensive and fragile china for us to tiptoe around. God, it probably won't even be dishwasher safe." Sasori mumbled. "I vote we keep the apple plates." He mumbled again.
"But you know, you're going to have to take this up with Deidara, he loved those dishes. I'm going to see the master bedroom." Itachi said leaving the scene. Lola breathed a huge sigh of relief. Zetsu slowly opened up again.
"Hmmm that went better than expected…although now I feel very obligated to buy him and Dana THE nicest thing on their wedding registry." Lola said.
"You do have a point, come on let's go unpack the rest of our room." Sasori said kissing Lola. And off they went. Welcome home Akatsuki, welcome home!
