CHAPTER TWO: DELICIOUS

It was a small house, compared to the others. As the light shone apon the beaches and then cascading towards the modern homes, the true extent of this beuatiful setting was revealled. The sands were iron, so the black was shimmery. The water was sparkling like a newly cut sapphire. How Konan liked this view and wished this was the Akatsuki Lair. She looked back into the house to see all of the men were very happy, almost too happy. Ahinata was chatting to the attentive Sasori about something properly doll related as she felt a hand slide into hers.

"It's beautiful here, isn't it?" Pein said. He looked at her with the very rare soft face that he had always shown to her and her alone. He kissed her on the forehead and Konan blushed furiously.

"Of course." Konan replied, her gaze returning to the scenery. "As you said eariler anything goes right."

"Hmm." When did he say that?

She paused, not knowing if it was alright. She gripped his hands and kissed him. Deepily. Lovingly. Heatedly. Konan saw the door slide open and Nata's face poke out of the house.

"Good luck and theres rooms upstairs." She said cheekily, she raised the pair a thumbs up and closed it behind her before either could kill her. People whooped.

"She's weird." Pein commented.

"What's normal?" Konan said. "There's a plant, a shark and a lolipop-man."

At this, Pein laughed.

I don't know, he thought as he watched the group of people chat. Just chatting. No one was trying to kill each other and even Hidan was being civil. This place was having a good effect on the Akatsuki.
