"Okay, have you sorted everything out with Konan now?" Pein asked as Hidan sauntered into the cave.

Hidan grinned and nodded, "I sure did,"

"Good," Pein said and gestured to his seat "Now if you could please sit down and we can finish this horrid, horrid meeting,"

Hidan ignored him however and his grin grew even wider "Hey guys," He said jovially.

"Yes?" Everyone barring Pein answered.

"I reckon Konan has a crush on me,"

Itachi leaned back in his seat, "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah,"

"Where'd you get that idea from then?"

Hidan placed his hands on his hips in a triumphant manner, "Oh I don't know... maybe it was the way she was drooling down the phone to me,"

Kisame guffawed, "As if!"

Hidan nodded vigourously, "She did! I was soaked with drool even through the phone. I was as wet as you fish boy,"

"Don't call Kisame 'fish boy' you know it makes him cry," Itachi warned.

"Sorry Kisame," Hidan said quickly.

Kisame nodded solemnly.

"Can you sit down please, Hidan," Pein said.

Hidan took his seat and looked over at Pein, "Hey, no hard feelings big man, right?"

Pein blinked at him,"Excuse me?"

"Well I know you put in a lot of effort with Konan but maybe you just went too far,"

"What are you talking about?" Pein said gruffly.

"I think Hidan is saying that you came across a bit needy, hmm," Deidara explained with a fleeting smile, "Sometimes, the way to a girl's heart is not by necessarily smothering them, yeah?"

"I do not smother her," Pein stated.

"Oh sure no," Hidan said and rested his head on the table, "Course you don't,"

"We've seen him looking at pictures of her longingly," Black Zetsu said.

"Quiet you fool," White Zetsu hissed.

"Ooo, that's desperate," Kakuzu said.

Pein stared at Kakuzu for a second and then changed his glare to the Zetsu, "Do you make a habit of spying on me?"

"Yes," Black Zetsu smiled.

"You do?"

"Yes,"

"Why?"

Zetsu shrugged.

"Do you spy on anyone else?" Kisame asked.

"Why? Are you scared that i'll blab about your intimaces with that trout?" Black Zetsu responded.

"Well I was," Kisame muttered.

"You haven't been watching Tobi have you?" Tobi asked in a worried tone, "Tobi's a good boy. I wouldn't be up to no good,"

"All we've seen of you," Black Zetsu said, "Is you constantly clipping your toenails. You do it every night... you must have the fastest growing nails ever!"

"I'm not sure i'm happy with you spying on members of the Akatsuki without my permission," Pein growled.

"He shouldn't be doing it full stop," Kakuzu said, "We're all trustworthy young fellows,"

"You're not young and you know it," Itachi answered, he turned to Pein and smiled, "No hard feelings on Konan, boss. My brother knows some young talent that I could try and you get set up with,"

"Doesn't your brother want to kill you desperately?" Pein asked.

Itachi laughed, "Yeah, yeah he does,"

Pein shook his head, "I believe this meeting is going wildly off topic again,"

"Yeah, what was this meeting about again?" Kisame asked.

"I need to hear your feelings and suggestions... the union has ordered me to,"

"How about individual theme tunes?" Itachi said.

Pein frowned, "We've already been through all that crap with you,"

"Yeah, but Zetsu wasn't here last time," Itachi said nodding at the plant-like ninja.

"No," Pein answered, "I would like any suggestions or feelings on our goal as an organisation,"

"What is it again?" Itachi asked.

"Something about drinking Gin, yeah?" Deidara smiled.

"Ah right, of course," Itachi grinned and nodded.

"No," Pein growled.

"No?" Both Itachi and Deidara said.

"No," Pein repeated as a vein in his forehead started to throb.

"Then what is it?" Itachi asked.

"We need to capture the Jinjuriki,"

"Well that's basically what I said, hmm," Deidara said brashly.

Pein gritted his teeth together, "Does... anybody... have... any... suggestions... about... how... to... capture... a... Jinjuriki?"

"Ooo," Itachi said loudly.

Pein looked at him, "Yes?"

Itachi flipped his phone around and showed the picture of a young girl with pink hair, "You could get her apparently. She's right desperate,"

Pein's eye flickered violently, "Can we... please... get on with the task-"

"Hey Pein!"

Pein looked at Hidan who was now standing up again, "What?"

"I'm just gonna go nick some of your aftershave so I can totally put the moves on Konan, okay?" He grinned.

"NO YOU CANNOT!" Pein roared.

Hidan frowned and sat down "Fine whatever, you are so totally gay for Konan it's pathetic,"
