Forming a semi-circle, the seven cloaked criminals shifted anxiously, waiting to leave. They either slung their bags over their shoulders or held them. The leader appeared, standing in the middle.

"I assume that you're all ready to set off?"

Nobody responded.

"I'll take that as a yes. Alright, let's leave."

The ninja left their secret cavern, walking out over the water-front. They leapt up the steep cliff side and jumped into the tree tops, trying to remain unseen.

About an hour into the trip, Tobi began to whine.

'Deidara-senpai, Zetsu-sama, I have to use the bathroom!"

Deidara growled angrily.

"I told you to go before we left!"

Later

Five hours and three rest stops later (mainly for Tobi), the eight ninja stood in front of a ten-story hotel. Entering the building and walking to the front desk, the leader began to converse with the attendant.

"We have reservations under the name 'Akatsuki'."

"Alright, hold on just a moment."

The woman looked down, writing small notes on a slip of paper. She spoke up.

"Those are some nice cloaks. You part of some organization?"

"No… we're here for a nearby convention. We're cosplayers."

"That's cool. I once cosplayed as Kagome. Oh wait a minute. You guys have rooms 120 through 127. Here are your card keys and boating passes to the resort island. If you need anything else, just call to the main desk."

"Thank you."

The eight walked to the elevator and arrived up on the fourth floor. They looked at every door until they reached door number 120.

"Alright now. Find your key-corresponding room and we'll relax for the night. Meet at the drink bar by 8:00 tomorrow morning. We'll plan what to do from there."

Everyone easily found their room and unpacked. They quickly crashed on the beds.

I hope you liked this chapter. I know it was uneventful, but I promise it will get better. The action and humor starts next chapter. They consist of complete randomness, but if you've read up to here, you shouldn't mind. LOL.

Please review and have fun reading.
