Itchi eyed up Tobi indecisively, wondering what he could make the orange masked one do. After moments of thought, it finally accoured to him, 'the orange masked one'.. Thats It! He was going to dare Tobi to do something he would neverdo voulintarily and something he would probably hate him forever for, but hey-ho, its only Tobi.

"Hey Tobi," itachi yelled to get his attention, although it was pointless, seeing as for the last 6 minutes or so, Itachi had had all of Tobi's attention.
"Yeah Itachi-san? you decided on what you're gona dare Tobi to do yet?" Tobi replied in his usual sweet and completely innocent voice.
"I have, and youre not going to like it, but you have to do it, its the rules," itachi warned Tobi. He looked around the room and he could see the likes of Pein and Kakuzu, the smarter of the group, had already caught onto what Itachi's plans for Tobi were.

"You can't" Kakuzu whispered to him, itachi, still bitter from his own dare, was shootig daggers at Kakuzu.
"You gona stop me?" he questioned dangerously. Kakuzu, ignoring the invitation to fight, simply sighed and gave Tobi a sympathetic look,

"I just think it's mean, that's all."
"Yeah?" Itachi replied viciously, "and making me, the legensdary S-class ninja, Itachi uchiha, turn my hair ORANGE is okay is it?" he said, with a lot of emotion in his usually blank voice. Kakuzu was a little taken back at how Itachi was going about his revenge, although he did have a point. Still, it wasn't Tobi's fault, it was Peins.
"A dare is a dare. Once I have told him what he has to do, he must do it. It's the rules," Itachi explained, a little calmer than before. The rest of the group, including Tobi, were still clueless as to what lay ahead for him. Itachi let out a sinister laugh and turned to Tobi. As slowly as he could he said, "I dare you to..."
The suspense was too much for Deidara, who involuntarily cried out,

"WHAT? We can't take it anymore!" Itachi sighed, clearly not impressed with the interruption.

"If you don't mind, I was about to reveal my totally awesome and amazing dare, so, yano..." he said.
"Um, Itachi-San?" Tobi queried, "Tobi was wondering if you could hurry up, please? Tobi can't take it any longer." he said innocently. This gave Itachi a great feeling of power, he loved toying with people's minds, and Tobi was so naiive, he just loved messing with him.

"Sure, Tobi. What I was going to say was... I dare you to remove your mask. There, I said it, now you have got to do it!"
Tobis heart sank and his only revealed eye watered ever so slightly. He sniffled a bit and then wiped his silvery tear onto his sleve. Kakuzu placed his hand on Tobis shaking shoulder and said as comfortably as he could manage,

"Its okay Tobi, you dont have to do it..."
"YES HE DOES!" Itachi bellowed. Tobi turned to Kakuzu and whispered,

"Thank you Kakuzu, but Itachi's right. Its about time i did this. Its time you all knew." The entire group were stunned, they didnt know what to say.
"Tobi, you spoke in first person!" Deidara exclaimed. Nobody, in the whole time Tobi had been in the Akatsuki, had ever head Tobi speak in first person. Everyone was still in shock when Tobi continued to speak.
"I'm not who you think i am and i never have been. You have no idea what it's like, having to live like this. I just hope you all understand, I had my reasons." The room was silent as Tobi raised his arms and reached for the clasp at the back of his head that held the mask on. there was a loud 'click' sound that seemed to echo through the entire base and the oval shaped orange mask fell to the floor with a dull 'thud'.

"Are you sure the quickest way to get to the base involves you carrying me?" Beth questioned playfully. She was perched on Hidans back, he was giving her a piggy-back until they got to the base, to save her from damaging her already, very damaged ankle. "Are you telling me you would rather hop back because there is no fucking way you can walk on that foot. have you fucking seen it?"
Hidan replied, a little irritated by the constant questions, but still happy to be in Beths company. The trees were whizzing past at maximum speed as Hidan was running as fast as he could to get Beth to the base, her incredibly long hair was pushed back out of her face by the wind and there was a trail of violet waves behind them. As much as he wanted to spend time with her, he really didnt want to miss the game. Over the past few days, Hidan and Beth had become close friends and he wanted to introduce her to the rest of the akatsuki, although, he had a feeling that wasnt a brilliant idea. Beth was resting her chin on hidans shoulder and her eyes were slowly closing, her blinking getting slower, until she saw a large, dark dark outline against the blue black sky.
"Fucking huge isnt it?" Hidan questioned her. Beths eyes traced the massive building up and down, looking for some windows, or any sign of residents, but there wasnt any. They reached the huge stone door and hidan reached inside his cloak and took out the biggest key Beth had ever seen. he placed it in the lock, silently turning it until there was a loud grinding sound and the door eased open. When they were inside, hidan pushed the door shut with his shoulder until there was another grinding sound and they made their way towards the living room.
When they arrived at the living room, they expected everyones eyes to be on them, but they weren't, and that was understandable.
