Yay!! I'm back yet again. You guys would have known about chapter 15 sooner but for some reason an email wasn't sent until two days after I updated…oh well! I don't own Naruto and we're back into the original plot! Woo-hoo!!
Hmm, thought Pein, those brats working for Kimimaro are really trying to get to Deidara and Sasori. The Akatsuki leader was currently occupying himself with some paperwork. You know, the regular spots to get drugs, artillery, and who they needed to take down to get what they wanted. Those papers had everything Akatsuki found essential to keep rein as the strongest gang in Konoha. But for the last few weeks or even months, that little group of Kimimaro's have been getting in the way. Nailing surprise attacks and sending threats their way. If it weren't for that damned Kaiyada, none of this would be happening.
Pein massaged his temples and groaned. He really hated being the head of Akatsuki, but who would do the job as well as him? The only other options for that role would be Itachi, Sasori, or Konan. No one else was as determined or at least caring towards the welfare of the group. In fact, the auburn haired teen didn't thing anyone cared about Akatsuki, not even himself.
Leader sighed.
He really needed to figure out what to do about everything going on involving Deidara and Kimimaro's gang. They were targeting him for a reason, but what could that reason be? That 'Kaiyada incident' should have been resolved by now. Surely the girl still can't be mad, can she? Pein knew that Deidara hand some beef with them. What he needed to know was what that beef was over…did he piss off someone else in that group or are they just hatin' on Deidara?
God, I've never had to think so goddamn hard about something this stupid. It's pissing me off…god. It was obvious Pein was mad because it then started raining. Yeah, for some reason the pierced teen's emotions had a great influence on the weather. If Pein was indifferent, the sky was cloudy yet it didn't rain. When he was mad or something irked him to no fucking end, it rained. A lot. But whenever Pein was happy, which wasn't often, it was sunny. Sunny days scared everyone who knew Pein well the most. But, the Akatsuki were used to it…all the rain, I mean.
Anyway, everyone in the Akatsuki hideout at the time heard the heavy thuds of rain hitting the roof. "Leader-sama's mad again." complained Tobi. Hidan glared at the masked teen. "What the fuck do you want us to do about it?" he demanded. Itachi looked up from his book. "How about you shut the hell up and go see what's bothering Leader." he suggested. Hidan glared at the black haired teen and went back to sharpening his knife.
"I don't give a flying fuck about what's wrong with him. He'll solve the problem eventually, dammit."
"Then why are you complaining?"
"Shut the fucking hell up, damn redhead." Sasori was at the Akatsuki hideout, with Deidara, the newest member of Akatsuki, waiting for further orders. The blonde had made it through the dreaded three days of dressing up as a girl and was admitted into Akatsuki. Sasori was definitely happy to have that happen. But, back to the task at hand. The redhead was fully aware of why it was raining, but poor Deidara honestly had no clue. So, questions like, 'why's it raining?' and 'it wasn't supposed to rain today, was it?' kept floating around in his head. He thought about asking, but decided against it. Sasori will tell him soon enough, he hoped.
"Yo, Deidara, Sasori, come 'ere." ordered Pein from his little workspace. Sasori sighed and got up, pulling Deidara to his feet as well. "Someone's in trouble!" mocked Hidan. "Shut up, you good for nothing man-whore!" yelled Deidara, clearly getting mad. Everyone, except Itachi and Pein, who didn't hear it, 'Oooohh-ed' dramatically. Hidan simply lifted his middle finger lazily. "Lazy fucker." mumbled the blonde, earning a glare from both Hidan and Sasori. Sasori just wanted to get this over with. He didn't need any drama from the white haired buffoon or his sometimes too much to handle boyfriend. But, whatever.
"What's wrong now, Pein?" asked Sasori, arms crossed. Pein glared at the teen and looked over at Deidara. The blonde, who was still wondering why it rained so unexpectedly, was staring back at the auburn haired teen. "I want to know what's up with all these attacks lately. It's like Kimimaro's gang are just coming up one by one to take you down, Deidara." explained Pein. Said teen made a face and crossed his arms as well. "I don't know why I'm being attacked like this. I...just am." answered Deidara. The auburn haired teen merely nodded. So far, this was going no where so he needed to find out more.
"Have any of them attacked any of the others? Like Itachi or Kakuzu?" wondered Pein. Sasori shrugged but Deidara blinked. "Yeah, Hidan said Karin was following him, but that was weeks ago. I don't know about now." An auburn colored eyebrow rose delicately. "Interesting…then they must want something. But what?" Sasori cleared his throat, making Pein and Deidara look over at him. "They may be looking for information or an opening. Hoping to get to us in some way. And the only way they think they can is through Deidara." He explained.
Deidara's head tilted. "Through me? Why me?" he asked. Pein and Sasori sighed simultaneously. "Why do you think, Deidara? It's because you're the newest member of Akatsuki. If they couldn't be more obvious…" stated Pein calmly. The shorter teen nodded. "Alright, I understand why they'd come after me," started the blond, "But why do they even bother with you guys? You guys are almost untouchable when it comes to them." Pein rested his head in his hands. He felt another head ache coming on and he didn't like it.
The rain got harder and thunder boomed from nowhere.
Sasori's shoulder's tensed ever so slightly. This wasn't heading in the right direction. The madder Pein gets the worse everyone else's luck gets.
"Shit! The fucking roof's leaking!" shouted Hidan from outside. "Great…now we need to pay for that to be fixed." grumbled Kakuzu. "Not like you'd pay for it." answered Kisame. Pein rolled his eyes at their meaningless conversation.
"Sasori, fill Deidara in on why they're hatin' on us later. Right now, we need to find a way to see their next move coming. We could use a spy, but it can't be from Akatsuki because they'd recognize us. But…who?" Pein thought aloud. The room remained silent for a few moments, the rain tapping against the roof and windows of the Akatsuki hideout. Even the rest of Akatsuki were quiet, as if they were deep in thought also.
"What if we don't use a person?" asked Sasori. "Elaborate." simply answered Pein. "What if we use an animal with a camera or microphone attached to it…or a puppet?" Pein looked up. That could work…one problem with that. "If we do use a puppet how would we keep it around them at all times? Or an animal? It couldn't attract attention and it would have to be able to follow them as well." debated the auburn haired teen. Sasori smirked. "I know how this could work. All we need is a doll, a camera with good visual and audio, and a very gullible Karin."
--The next day at lunch--
A squeal of delight pierced the ears of those sitting at the table in the back of the cafeteria, much like those in the rest of the room. Karin held up a small but adorable doll with black hair and equally dark eyes. The doll's face held a soft expression. "Yo, Karin! What the fuck is that crap?!" complained a teen with white hair and fang-like teeth. Said girl glared at the teen. "It's a gift from Sasuke-kun, if you hadn't noticed Suigetsu." Suigetsu smirked evilly. "I hadn't noticed. In fact, last time I checked Sasuke was trying to avoid you." "Fuck you, because it is from Sasuke-kun. See?" the redheaded girl shoved a piece of paper in the white haired teen's face. "To my sweet Karin, from Sasuke. Well I'll be damned, it is from Sasuke." mused Suigetsu.
Somewhere outside of the cafeteria, sat Sasuke and the other freshmen. The black haired teen's eyebrow twitched ever so slightly. "Sasuke? What's wrong?" asked Naruto, blue eyes overflowing with worry. Said teen looked down at the grass, contemplating.
"Sasuke-kun?" questioned Sakura.
"For some reason, some red-haired bimbo is talking about me," started Sasuke, "And I don't like it." At hearing this, the inner Sakura fumed. "CHA!! HOW DARE THAT BIMBO (whoever she is) SO MUCH AS MENTION MY SASUKE-KUN?!" she all but shouted. She will pay…, both the inner and outer Sakura thought dangerously. Poor thing, uh…things, didn't know that Sasuke was gay and fucking the senses out of his blonde kitsune when no one was around. Also, they didn't know he'd never be interested in her for more than just the reason that he's gay. I mean, giant forehead, unnaturally pink hair? Who WOULD want to go out with that?! (A/N: Sorry Sakura fans! I just really find it hard NOT to insult her.)
Back in the cafeteria, the Akatsuki gang were watching the little group on the other side of the room. "Good idea making Karin think that doll was from Sasuke, Sasori." congratulated Deidara. The redhead smiled victoriously. "Too easy. That dumbass girl is too obsessed to think it's not from him." Hidan's eyebrows furrowed. "I don't get it. What's so important about that toy?" he asked. Everyone at the table gave Hidan a look that said, 'You've got to be kidding me.'
"You weren't paying attention at all yesterday, were you?" asked Konan. Hidan shrugged. "I take that as a no." groaned the blue haired girl. "Yeah, you do that. But really, what the fuck is up with that doll?" Deidara tried to put it as simply as he could think of. "Hidan…there's a camera hidden inside the doll's head. With that camera, we can see and hear everything they're talking about. Do you understand?" he responded. The purple eyed teen nodded.
"Good you're slow."
"What was the fish-face?!"
"You heard me." remarked the blue haired male. Hidan slammed his hands on the table. "You want to start something, bastard?!" Kisame smirked. "Bring it. I can kick your ass in two counts." he answered, putting up two fingers to prove his point. Hidan snarled, lip twitching angrily. "Place your bets!" cheered Kakuzu, hoping to make a quick buck by betting on his boyfriend. "Kakuzu?!" growled the white haired teen. "Oh, I'm not missing out on this! I bet you five bucks Kisame kicks Hidan's ass!" exclaimed Deidara, placing his money on the table. "Five bucks isn't enough to be considered a bet!" whined Kakuzu. Deidara glared. "Fine then, ten!" "…Idiots." complained Itachi, Sasori, and Konan.
--Later on that day at the Akatsuki hideout--
Everyone sat staring at the screen, hoping for something to happen. Konan was attending to Hidan and Kisame's wounds at the moment. "Need I even ask what happened?" asked Pein. Deidara, who wore a big frown on his face, waved his hand dismissively. "Nothing to worry about…other than me losing twenty bucks." he said. The blonde, being the overconfident one he is, decided once he saw Kisame winning to raise the bet. What he didn't expect was for Hidan to win. Kakuzu was happily counting his money. Sasori and Konan eventually gave in and betted on Kisame as well. And lost their money much like Deidara did. Luckily they weren't dumb enough to be that much money.
"You should know better to bet that much money, Dei-chan." scolded Sasori, pulling Deidara into a tight embrace hoping to make him feel better. The blonde sniffled childishly and leaned into Sasori's warm body. Hidan snorted. "Such babies." he muttered under his breath. The white haired teen then hissed in pain as Konan rubbed rubbing alcohol over an open cut to keep an infection from forming. "Shit! That hurt!" whined the purple eyed teen. He then looked up to see Sasori and Deidara smirking at him.
"What?"
"What was that about us being babies?" asked Sasori.
"Un, coming from someone who got the crap beat out of him..." continued Deidara.
"And he's belly-aching over a little sting?" they said in unison. Hidan looked away, blushing lightly. "Shut the fuck up." he answered, clearly embarrassed. Deidara howled with laughter, clutching his sides. The other's soon joining in, Itachi and Pein smirking amusedly and Sasori smirking with triumph.
"Okay, enough joking around," said Pein, "We need to check in on Kimimaro's gang." The pierced teen then turned to look at the screen, the rest following suit. "Why bother? They haven't done anything yet." wondered Tobi in a bored manner. "Be patient." responded Itachi. Just then, Kimimaro, the brains of the group, started to speak. The camera gave them a clear crisp sound and equally as good picture.
"Tayuya, Kidoumaru, how could you two have failed in capturing Deidara?" asked Kimimaro, showing extreme amounts of anger. Tayuya crossed her arms and glared at the teen. "He's a better fighter than we thought. He was holding back last time he fought with Sasori." Kidoumaru nodded. "And Akasuna was there too, which didn't make the job any easier." Green eyes narrowed fiercely. "Akasuna was there?" Both nodded. "Great…so far this is going nowhere. Master will only get more and more impatient." stated Kimimaro, running a pale hand through his hair.
Pein's eyebrow rose in a confused manner. "Master? I thought Kimimaro was the leader." thought Konan aloud. "So did I. This is getting more and more complicated." answered the auburn haired leader. "But then, who is their leader?" questioned Itachi. Everyone shook their heads. Hopefully we'll find out, they thought all together.
"Anyway," began Kimimaro, making the Akatsuki to stare back at the screen, "We need another plan to get Deidara to Master. Any suggestions?" Juugo stood, everyone's eyes following. "I suggest we trick him into coming to us." he offered his two cents. At the same time, Kimimaro and Deidara shook their heads. "I'm smarter than that!" he stated out of nowhere. "Deidara's smarter than that…at least he should be." responded the green eyed teen. Deidara deadpanned as Hidan laughed aloud. The redhead shrugged his shoulders and sat back down. "Seriously, we need suggestions. Good ones." said Kimimaro. Kaiyada stood up. "I think three or four of you should catch Deidara alone, knock him out, and drag him back here for the time being. Then we can take him to Master." the short haired girl commented. Sakon and Ukon, the white haired teens, quickly dismissed the idea with a simple shake of their heads.
"Like that could work! That blonde is pretty damn strong." debated Sakon. "And he won't go without a fight. Such a dumb idea, Kaiyada-bitch." added Ukon. The black haired girl crossed her arms. "I don't see you or anyone else coming up with any other good ideas!" she yelled, anger shining in her eyes. The others fidgeted with hesitation. "So it's my idea we're going with." Kaiyada finished with a nod. "And if we refuse?" asked Sakon and Ukon. The girl's lip curled up happily.
"Because if you don't, I won't be afraid to tell everyone in school about what you two do when others aren't around. And I mean everyone." The Akatsuki 'ooh-ed.' Then laughter erupted between the group. "I…I wonder what they 'do'!" joked Hidan. Everyone nodded, most barely able to control their laughter. "God, I wonder if it's what I think she's talking about!" mused Deidara. The others stopped and stared at Deidara, then laughed even harder. "You can't be serious?!" choked out Konan. "Well they are always seen with one another. Anything's possible with those two." answered Itachi, a smirk growing wider with each word.
Sakon and Ukon instantly closed their mouths and kept to themselves. Kaiyada smirked. "Good, then we're going with my plan. We'll go through with it tomorrow." Kimimaro shook his head. "Why not?!" the girl shrieked. "We don't want them to see it coming. After all, Tayuya and Kidoumaru attacked a day or two ago. They're almost expecting another attack." he stated. Kaiyada nodded, but didn't like it.
"If not tomorrow, when?"
Kimimaro stroked his chin, deep in thought. "In a few days. They will think we gave up for the time being. We will attack when they don't see it coming." Everyone nodded. "Sakon, Ukon, Juugo, Suigetsu and I will be the ones to do it. When's a good time to find him alone?" the white haired teen turned to look at Kaiyada. "Between second and third period. That's some of the few classes Deidara and Sasori don't have together. Other than six period when Sasori has Asuma-sensei and Deidara has study hall." She answered nonchalantly. Kimimaro nodded.
"Excellent, then three days from now we'll make our move."
"And we'll be waiting…" responded Pein, a mischievous smirk growing on his face. "We know what they plan on doing and when their going to do it. So, we got plenty of time to make a counter attack. Any questions?" he turned to face the others. "Yeah," Hidan started, "When do I get to kick some major ass?" Pein rolled his eyes, but the smirk remained on his face.
"So Hidan, very soon."
Said teen smiled evilly and curled his fingers into fists. "Good, 'cause I haven't given Jashin-sama a good enough offering yet. They'll make an excellent offering." Everyone sighed exasperatedly. "You and your Jashin-sama." grumbled Deidara. Hidan smiled proudly. "Respect Jashin-sama! For he and he alone is the god everyone should worship!" he chanted, pumping his fist in the air. The rest simply ignored him. Hidan rolled his eyes and sat back down.
"Point is that I'm ready to kick some major ass. And no fucking person is going to stop me."
"Don't worry, Hidan…" reassured Sasori, yet another wickedly evil smirk residing on his face.
"We all want to kick some ass."
Sorry for not updating…again. I seriously have this thing of getting a good idea and typing and updating it within days of the last update…And this thing of not having any motivation at all to come up with something good and not being able to get it updated for about a week. But it's here and that's all that matters. While doing this, I was watching Moon Child, this Japanese movie with Japanese rock stars Hyde and Gackt in it, and listening to M-flo, this Japanese hip hop duo. I strongly urge you to listen to M-flo and watch Moon child. Great movie and great CD. If you're into Japanese music and movies then you'd be interested. Also, please review. Ja ne! Oh, and everyone who views this story, even if you don't review, please go to my page and vote in my poll. I could really use your vote so I know what to write once this is over. Ja ne, for real this time!
