Chapter 3: Just Bead It!


An accessory-making set? Who in their right mind would send this over to a bunch of S-Class Criminal Ninja?

Completely unamused by the current situation at hand, Kisame chose to pick up the garish neon pink box to read the words printed in swirling sunshine yellow script that threatened to burn the eyes of any brave soul who dared read it.

"Make your own bracelets, necklaces or necklaces! A wonderful variety of designs awaits you!"

Kisame squinted a little to make sure he read the horrid thing out right, it was that hard to even make out the 2 sentences curling slyly about the box like the writing was giving the box a death hug.

He shook the box to hear the rattling beads inside and paused for a short moment as if in deep, contemplative thought.

He then burst out into raucous laughter, spluttering out, "This sort of art is just perfect for you Deidara! It fits you like a glove!"

Deidara flushed a bright cherry red at the snide comment before it deepened into a dark crimson as the rest of the group joined in the rowdy laughter.

"Why you! I'll show you art!" Deidara made a threatening gesture, or it would have been if he still wasn't such a deep shade of red, but that may have been out of anger and not embarrassment now.

Pein cleared his throat at that,"I can't have you senselessly killing off the vital members of this organization Deidara."

Deidara snorted in disbelief but unwillingly stepped down and paused in his death advances towards the still-chortling Kisame.

He settled for mumbling incoherent death threats instead and shooting the occasional dark look at the blue-skinned man.

"Well since this contraption appears to be perfectly ordinary, I suggest holding a competition of sorts revolving around this box and its contents."

An evil gleam had entered his eye at this point, "Since all of you do not have any missions for the next few days, it will also help to keep you out of trouble at the base and occupy your attention. What do you say to that?"

Everyone just nodded at that, albeit rather reluctantly, since obviously no one, and I mean NO ONE, ever dares to reject a proposal thought up by Leader-sama.

"You will have the next two days to come up with an accessory of some kind and present it to me for viewing. The winner of that competition will be given the largest room in the base, apart from mine." Pein laid out the next set of rules.

"Sabotage is forbidden as is the the destroying of the box that contains the beads and strings."

He eyed every single one of them carefully to make sure they understood his poorly veiled threat before nodding once in satisfaction.

"Who will be the judge of this contest of yours?" Sasori drawled out boredly.

"I will because I highly doubt that any one of you would be able to judge fairly enough." Konan answered coolly as she stepped out from where she had been standing behind Pein before.

Pein gave another curt nod to show his approval and shifted the box to the other table positioned in the middle of the room and the competition begun~

Everyone pounced at the box almost immediately while Pein exited from the room with Konan by his side to return to his office and finish off the paperwork that was piling up by the cartload.


Sooooo~ How was it? Any OOC? But since it is a fan fiction, it's bound to have moments that don't quite belong there after all... Please report any errors found while reading this story. So much fancy-ass business-y dialogue. I died writing this. So I hope y'all review now! The next chpater should be up soon~ There are only like 5 chapters anyway. And I can't begin to imagine how I wrote 15k words for my other fan fiction. Sighs. Tata!
