"I'm really not liking this boat," Tobi whimpered, latching on To Deidara's arm.
"Tobi, do you mind? I can't feel my hand."
"Sorry, senpai."
Tobi freed Deidara's arm and grabbed a nearby handle bar which was attached to the cabin to prevent himself from slipping as the boat lurched forward in the choppy waves.
"I swear," Kakuzu said, joining the conversation, "This piece of crap death trap was bought for twenty dollars at an antique shop."
Hidan slipped on the deck, smacking his head against a railing. He managed to stand up.
"This boat might just be the death of me."
"But Hidan, you can't die," Tobi stated.
"That's my point, Dumbass!"
Tobi just shrugged and walked to the bow, holding tightly to a flag pole in front of him. Nearly scaring everyone to death, Tobi screamed, "I'm king of the world!"
Kisame face-faulted.
"How about we stick a letter bomb to his face and see how long it takes for him to recognize it's there?" He suggested.
"Unfortunately, it can't be fatal," Itachi sighed, "Leader would be furious if we killed him."
"Well, we can at least try."
Everyone snickered as Hidan silently went up to Tobi, holding the letter bomb in his hand. He was about to reach around when he was interrupted.
"What's going on here?" The Leader asked, walking into the group.
Hidan jumped, spinning around and hiding the bomb behind his back.
"Nothing, sir. We were just joking about the Jinchuuriki."
"Right," The Leader didn't sound convinced. "Anyway, get ready to depart. They're tying to boat to the dock now."
With that, the leader walked away. Everybody had been so distracted with trying to blow up Tobi that they hadn't noticed the boat make land.
They all went to the ramp and got off, but Hidan lagged behind. Unsure of what to do with the triggered bomb, he threw it into the water and ran to meet the others.
Proceeding into the forest, the Akatsuki were stopped in their tracks when they heard and explosion behind them. Turning around, they saw the water and boat being thrown into the air. The boat was blown to pieces as planks of wood fell back to the water's surface. They were also surprised when a few human limbs hit the sand on the shore.
Everyone turned to Hidan, glaring angrily at him. Hidan nervously rubbed the back of his head.
"Um… sorry?"
"How will we get back to the resort?" asked Itachi.
"The next boat will arrive around six o'clock tonight. Until then, we should at least use the island to our enjoyment." The Leader sounded exhausted.
"Hey, quiet you guys. I hear something," Kisame whispered.
The missing-nin stopped talking and listened. Kisame was right. Voices could be heard further into the woods.
"We should see who's there."
"If anything, it would be smart to strike first."
They all agreed and began to wonder into the thicket. Almost a half mile in, they seven people walking around a make-shift campsite. There were three bungalows surrounding a picnic area.
"Aborigines!" Tobi yelled.
"No. It looks like they got stranded."
"But the resort's only two miles from here."
"Well then, who knows what happened."
"Let's ask them," Kakuzu stated, walking up to a guy wearing a red and white stripped shirt. The other ninja weren't far behind.
"Hello, sir. May I ask what your name is?"
"You can call me Gilligan. Nice to meet you stranger."
"Gilligan?" Hidan snorted, "What the hell kind of name is that?"
Itachi harshly elbowed Hidan in the stomach.
"Who are the others here with you?" Itachi asked.
"Oh, I forgot!"
Gilligan turned around to call his friends over.
"Get over here, we have visitors!"
The six other people walked to Gilligan's side.
"Can you introduce us to your friends, Gilligan?"
"Sure. Let's start from the left. This is the skipper, the millionaire and his wife, the movie star, the professor, and Mary Ann."
"Nice to meet you all," Kakuzu stated.
Tobi leaned over to Deidara and whispered, "How come Kakuzu isn't mice to us?"
"It's because, in this situation, you have to do radical things to gain information."
"You all look famished," the Skipper spoke up, "Would you like something to eat?"
The Leader walked to the front of the group.
"That would be very nice of you. Thank you."
Following the seven cast-aways, the Akatsuki sat around a fire-pit and awaited their meals.
"Here you go," the Skipper smiled as he handed each ninja a roasted chunk of meat on a stick.
Kisame was the first to take a bite and purred as the meat went down his throat.
"This tastes amazing. What is it?"
"Rat."
With that simple word, Kisame was on his hands and knees, gagging.
Itachi looked over at the immobilized demon shark muttering, "Idiot."
"I think I've lost my appetite," Hidan grimaced, setting his rat on the ground. The others did the same.
Trying to change the subject, the Leader began to question the seven.
"So, why are you on this island?"
"We were stranded here during a storm."
"You can't rebuild you boat?"
"We've tried, but I think we're just too lazy to finish what we've started."
"You guys are wearing really cool cloaks!" Gilligan interrupted with his stupid comment and began tugging at Deidara's sleeve.
"Um, Leader, may I be excused for a moment?"
"Yes, Deidara."
"Thank you. C'mon Tobi."
Deidara and Tobi walked into the forest and disappeared.
Five minutes later-
"Sorry, everyone. I was looking for something and Tobi needed to help me."
The Leader was about to scold them for sounding stupid when he heard a loud horn towards the shore.
"That's the boat. It must have come very early. Sorry, but we must leave."
"Don't worry. It was nice meeting you all."
The Akatsuki left and ran to the beach, just barely catching the boat before it disembarked again.
Everyone was standing at the back of the boat as it reached about 100 yards from the island. Deidara smiled and made a hand sign.
"Katsu!"
The island exploded, trees splintered and sand flew into the air. When the smoke cleared, there was practically nothing left. Everyone turned to Deidara.
"What? That Gilligan was getting on my nerves."
The Leader smacked his head against a pole several times. Certainly taking over the world wasn't worth surviving this torture.
So, how was it? Funny? Gut-busting? For the love of Kami, be nice to me!! The next chapter is called Stargazing. Don't worry though. It's far from fluffy. I'm keeping with the funny all the way through.
Please review and Happy late New Year!
