A/N- Rofl. Wow. Two Words: Vacations Suck. And I will apologize for this chapter beforehand because I'm mainly trying to get my feel back. And the Tobi thing was verrrry much on purpose. XD

I do not own Naruto. Big shock there.


Chapter 19- Arrangements

Tayuya was unsure as to why it seemed to take several months to open a door, and why it was seriously taking up as much time to open as Dragonball Z takes up episodes with screaming. She shrugged, and pushed it open. Who cared?

It seemed like the moment it creaked about halfway open that the roar flew over, and the floor shook her (very painfully) to her feet. She glared up, and rage may or may not have taken over again. They had pushed her out the window, she injured her legs, and she fell from the high floor. Then they have the nerve… they refuse to blow the hole in the wall until –after- she suffers so? They're heads twisted over suddenly. There was little reaction from Deidara, Kisame, or Kakuzu, they just shrugged at this, and she just stared blankly. As her eyes gained the ability to change position, she recognized the same expression on Hidan's face as well.

"Oh, I guess she didn't run away after all, hm?" Deidara muttered, apathetically. "Oh well, so much for the hole in the wall idea."

Hidan and Tayuya said nothing.

They started to pile out of the room, blatantly ignoring the fact they had now broken a hole in the wall like they had themselves come up with the idea.

"You…blew…a hole in the wall." Tayuya mumbled. "You blew a fucking hole in the wall."

"I know, it was my idea, yeah?" Deidara smiled as he turned around to her. "Pretty brilliant for the time being, if I do say so, hmm?"

Brilliant, he says! Yeah, real damned brilliant. Tayuya glared at him. "I hate you, Deidre." She growled. "Go die in a fire."

"Yeah, I know." He smiled. Deidara was the smarter of them, and she knew it. Oh she knew what a ploy was when she saw it. He planned this from the start, she bet. At that moment, she swore revenge for her legs, and for ever listening to that blonde she-male's ideas to begin with. What the hell was she thinking? "Next time I'll just leave your feminine ass in the room then, shithead!" She shouted out at him as he walked down the halls, stretching his arms. She knew she was ignored. It didn't much matter. Hidan was still in his little daze in his room. Standing up to the left of his bed he just stared as blankly as a person possibly could. Who knew he was capable of focusing on something? Even if trauma-induced.

She rolled her eyes. "Are you going to start cleaning or are you gonna just sit there and stare out your new window for a few hours?" At least it managed to catch his attention a small bit. He glared over. "What?"

"This is you're fucking fault."

"How the hell is this my fault?"



"Because you had to show up too late."

"Hey you try walking when you crack your legs, asshole."

"I have. Don't be such a sissy."

Silence came over them, and the two of them glanced back at the hole again. Looks like they would have to find somewhere new to crash or fix it. Tayuya nodded. She would choose somewhere else over actually having to do something. Then again she had been through this before. But there was a new option! There was a girl in the building after all! In retrospect, Tayuya could see this as better than it first appeared. Hidan glared over to her.

"What the hell are you smiling at?" He snapped. Her bright demeanor faded in the flash of an instant. "So you fucking enjoy the idea that we now have a hole in the wall?"

She paused, shrugged and decided to be honest. "Yep."

The forest was not a comfortable place to be stumbling through that day. It had began raining and Kabuto and company found themselves in a very irritating position, as they had no umbrellas, and it appeared as if they had been lost about as one could possibly manage to be lost.

"Kabuto," Sasuke growled coldly. "Where the hell are we?"

Kabuto said nothing back. He just continued wandering forward, pretending not to hear any cries of defeat or anger from the others. It was better that way, or rather, less annoying. It's not like he didn't know that they were lost or rather that he had made them lost or the fact that he had refused them the rights to bring food on the grounds that it was too heavy. It happens, what could you do? Certainly they would run into the headquarters…someday.

"KABUTO." Sasuke again, Kabuto rolled his eyes, and kept moving. A few minutes later, Sasuke only repeated himself. It went on for about ten more minutes until Kabuto stopped in place.

"What? What do you want?" Kabuto snapped. "If you're going to ask the same thing again; I don't know and I'm not sure, so shut up." He breathed in. "So what else do you want to know? My shoe size? SAT score? What Sasuke, what?"

Sasuke blinked and stared at Kabuto a moment, and was joined by the rest of their group.

"Nothing, Never mind."

"Kabuto didn't you use to work for Akatsuki?" Sakon moaned. Kabuto sighed at the fact that at least it wasn't Sasuke. "So how come we're out wandering the forest aimlessly like a bunch of idiots?"



"It's been awhile, okay?" Kabuto replied. "And it's a top secret place; it's supposed to be well hidden. It's not like a sign is just going to rise out of the ground and declare "Top Secret Akatsuki Headquarters, please watch for our S rank criminals!" geez."

"Kabuto."

"Shut up Sasuke."

"But, Kabuto…" Sasuke wasn't listening. "It's important."

"I don't care. It's not important."

"It is."

Kabuto shook his head. "Fine, what is it?!"

Kabuto looked at the paper Sasuke held up, and that was now constantly getting wet. However one thing caught his eye. He twitched once. The universe hated him more than anyone, he assumed.

"It's marked on the map." Sasuke muttered.

There was a small yellow mark labeled, "you are here" sloppily, and on further examination, he looked at a large area north with a red "x" labeled across it. Kabuto paused. It was labeled

Akatsuki Hideout.

But one does not admit defeat to one like Sasuke.

"Sasuke, why the hell didn't you tell me this earlier?" He snapped.

"You kept telling me to—"

"Shut up." Kabuto snapped. "We're going, now come on."

Sasuke shrugged, and put the map back in his coat. Asshole.

Deidara had the TV turned up all the way to ignore the bickering. It was unusually louder than usual, and it had begun to spur quite the headache. Watching romantic old soap operas was a much greater option than listening a mass of cursing and anger for a few hours, was it not? Oh how he longed it would be like those cheesy romances, the two people who hate each other get together and all the fighting ceases.

However, Deidara at the moment understood the difference between reality and bad acting. He sighed in relief once he heard the feet coming angrily down the steps, pounding down as hard as possible, and followed by a river of ows and damns. The girl, of course, was storming down and into the kitchen. Deidara could only shrug. But it was obvious what she was intending.



Just sit back and pretend it's all nice and quiet, Deidara. Yeah? It's all peaceful and cheerful and everyone's having such a brilliant time.

-

Tayuya had stormed into the room in the kitchen, and Konan barely looked up at this. Her eyes focused on a book in her hand. Tayuya turned her head, looked over to Konan and announced simply.

"I'm crashing here."

"Okay then." Konan yawned. "Whatever."

-

Hidan came down next, however Deidara knew he wouldn't get away as easily he had with the girl.

"I can't believe that bitch!" He snapped, pacing back and forth like he was seriously distraught. "Causing that hole in my wall, and insulting me, and complaining all the damn time, who the hell does she think she is around here?"

Yes because you certainly never complain, do you Hidan? Hmm?

"And then she has the nerve to talk down to me? What the fuck?"

Deidara rolled his eyes, this was getting irritating fast. "I'm getting something to eat, yeah?" An excuse and truth at the same time, ah that statement was quite the double positive. But no good things ever last for Deidara, not now and not ever, he considered it his curse of sorts. He slid into the kitchen blissfully, ignoring all the things in the room around him. He opened the refrigerator before he was shocked to the point of a near heart attack.

"Hi Sempai!" It wasn't as loud as he was used to, however it was one person who by no means should be near him at this current time. Tobi, Tobi the idiot and dead man walking. He hadn't shown his face yet again for about an hour after they escaped being locked in Hidan's room. He growled, and the fridge was slammed.

"You are dead." He growled. "That's it, you're dead, yeah?"

Tobi waved his arms in the air to show he actually had something to say. It was different from his typical way of just blurting it out. Deidara paused. It should at least be mildly amusing to hear the miserable excuse he could give.

"I only played a little joke, it's not a big deal!"

Deidara's face shifted. "Excuse me?"

"You guys are just too sensitive."



Deidara paused again. "What's wrong with you, yeah?"

"Huh?"

"You're talking in complete sentences." Deidara pointed out. "And your voice is different. So you got a new voice actor? How does that make you talk less stupid?"

Tobi paused and shuddered. Tobi never paused, and never shuddered.

"What the hell did you do with the real Tobi and who are you, yeah?"

Another long pause, this creature calling himself Tobi chuckled lightly. "I am Tobi! Uhh…uhh…." He ravaged through his belongings for some sort of material to work off of. He pulled a picture of Rin from his pocket and held it up. "I LOVE RIN….Uhh…umm….YAY!"

Deidara had no comment for this, and was lost beyond all reason. He moaned. "Good enough."

"Phew."

"Now back to the killing, hm?"

Tobi seemed to panic at this. "Wait wait! Not so fast!!"

Deidara sighed, another interruption.

"What if..." He found a way to warp his words to sound slightly more stupid. "Tobi can solve all your problems!"

Never listen to Tobi. Why did he listen to the idiot of all people? It was about time for Satan to check his thermostat.
