Today the disclaimer will be a little different. and maybe a bit long, but so what?..WHO WANTS TO DO THE DISCLAIMER??

Tobi: Oh oh oh Tobi does!

Me: Okay, Tobi, you do it!

Tobi: . . . What's a disclaimer?

Me: -twitch- Okay...who else wants to do it?

-crickets chirp-

Me: Right...KAKUZU! You'll do it if I pay you, right?

Kakuzu: Yeah...how much?

Me: I don't know...just say it!

Kakuzu: Art-is-a-bang-XD does not own Naruto or the Akatsuki or me or-

Me: We get it.

Kakuzu: Money?

Me: -sigh- hands over five dollars-

Kakuzu: Five dollars? I'M RICH!!

Okay...now let's start...

Everyone regarded their sleeping leader with interest. Sasori wondered if he could make live people into puppets. Kakuzu wondered if he could steal his organs and sell his body for money on the black market. Hidan wondered if he could sacrifice someone sleeping to Jashin. Itachi wondered if Tsukiyomi would still work on sleeping people. Deidara wondered what Konan would do if he blew their leader up. Kisame wondered what their leader would look like without all his piercings. Tobi was eating marshmallows again, and Konan was curled up next to Pein, asleep too.

"Are we going to go back now or stay here forever?" Kisame demanded.

"Stay here forever, un!"

"I'm sure that wasn't what he meant, Deidara," Sasori muttered.

The blond scowled, but rallied almost at once. "Oh yeah, un? Well I'm sure that's exactly what he meant un!"

Sasori felt like poisoning him.

"Senpai was right though. Kisame-san asked us a question!"

"Tobi...pay me and I'll tell you what he meant."

"Don't hurt Tobi. Tobi is a good boy! Honest Kakuzu-san!"

"Pineapple Tobi! Shut the sherbet up before I sacrifice you to Jashin-sama!"

"Don't hurt Tobi," Zetsu cried.

"It's not like he ever did anything to you anyway," his black side added.

"That means I get to hurt him, un!"

"No, Deidara. We're finished with the battle. We're going now," Itachi said, returning to his stotic, quiet and emo self.

"No we're not un! I thought Kisame no Danna said we were staying forever!"

"I'm a Danna now?"

"I thought I was special!"

"You are, Sasori no Danna! But whoever made me had to make me say Kisame no Dan-"

"DON'T SAY IT DEIDARA!" Sasori screamed.

"Why not un? Kisame no Danna-"

Slam! Bonk! Crash!

Sasori had hit his head onto a tree, three times. Everyone else stared at him in confusion.

"I think we should go back now," Kakuzu muttered. "Time is-"

"Money, we get it you banana," Hidan interrupted.

Kakuzu scowled but luckily didn't pester the Jashinist.

"We're going back," Zetsu said firmly.

"Before I eat you all," his black side added with a smirk.

Kisame and Tobi looked severely frightened, but everyone else knew it was an empty threat. Zetsu was forbidden to eat members, just as Sasori was forbidden to turn members into puppets, and Deidara was forbidden to blow members up. Hidan was forbidden to sacrifice members to Jashin and Kakuzu was forbidden to steal other's organs and sell their bodies on the black market. But unfortunately for all the members, Tobi was not forbidden from annoying people.

"Let's...just...go," Kisame said quickly, practically dragging Itachi down the hill and fleeing, leaving a long trail of smoke. Zetsu grinned evily, both sides practically looking downright intimidating.

At this, Tobi broke cover and fled, running down the hill much like Kisame did, although dragging his 'Senpai' along and screaming "Aaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!"

Deidara literally bounced along behind him, shouting things like: "TOBI! I'M GONNA- Oww un! Stop running or else I'll fry- OW!! STOP RUNNING NO- EEEEEK! OWWWWWWW!!"

Sasori winced, then walked calmly down the hill after his partner, mumbling something about: "I wonder if Hidan would look good as a human puppet...Actually, I'm not even sure live people could be used, so maybe turning him into a puppet might kill him..."

Furious, Hidan dashed down the hill, after the redhead, screaming something that vaguely resembles: "JASHIN WILL OWN YOUR SOUL!"

"Hmmm...the puppet sounds good...it might sell for a price," Kakuzu muttered, trailing behind Hidan, and wondering about money and sums and black markets.

"Um...guys? I was only joking," Zetsu said hurriedly, teleporting to the hideout and leaving the sleeping Pein and Konan on their own.

-Back at the Hideout-

A few minutes to hours later, everyone was finally there. Kisame had come back, dragging Itachi, and in a hurry, shut himself in their room, and locking it with Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. Tobi came back next, with a angry, injured Deidara, who was by now swearing at the top of his breath. At one especially scary word which even Hidan didn't know (1), the poor masked man broke down, running and hiding in Itachi and Kisame's room. Sasori arrived half an hour later, the Hidan puppet fully formed in his head. A minute later, Hidan came back, promptly tackling Sasori and pushing the human puppet idea out of his head. Kakuzu came back an hour later, mind full of money and sums and how maybe he should have charged that guy last week one more dollar...And Zetsu arrived before everyone else, and was now munching on a dead corpse in his little garden.

But after a long loooong while, everyone congregated in the living room.

"So...are we just going to leave Leader-sama and Konan-sama out there? By themselves?" Kisame asked.

"Yes," Kakuzu smirked.

"Fine with me." Kisame shrugged and returned to braiding Itachi's hair.

"Are you sure? But...Tobi is a good boy so shouldn't Tobi-"

"Shut up un!" Deidara growled.

"But Tobi is-"

"SHUT UP!" everyone yelled.

Tears began appearing out of the masked man's eyes. Zetsu took pity on him.

"Don't hurt Tobi, he's just a boy."

"Boy my ass, un!"

"Shut up, Deidara." Sasori had slipped into Hiruko again, for better battle preparations next time.

"I thought we were lolly picking on Tobi," Hidan complained.

"You're going for him now?" Kakuzu shot his partner a most intimidating and surprised glare. If that was possible, that is.

"Scone, Kakuzu you bastard!"

"We need a little silence here," Kisame said timidly.

"Kisame. Shut. Up."

Kisame shut up even before Itachi's sentence- no, series of words were complete.

"Wow...that's the first time I've heard you swear, un," Deidara teased.

"Brat, I thought I told you to shut up."

"But Daaaaaannnnaaaaaaaaaaa," the blond whined.

"Deidara, shut the hell up before I go deaf-"

Deidara looked up brightly at this.

"- and tear your organs out," Kakuzu finished angrily.

Deidara twitched once, then fell silent.

"Thank you!" Sasori breathed. "I thought he was hopeless!"

"Oh oh oh Tobi is hopeless!" A certain someone said brightly.

"Tobi, hopeless means...uh..." Kisame scratched his head.

"Hopeless means not being able to learn or act, perform, or work as desired," Itachi said smartly, tapping to dictionary.

Tobi scratched his head.

"For a sweet second I thought that stupid weasel was actually smart for once," Hidan sniggered.

Itachi and Kisame twitched.

Dead silence...Zetsu had ate all the crickets lurking around the hideout.

A cough.

Everyone turned, to find a disgruntled Pein and Konan, with sticks and leaves sticking out of them everywhere, opening the door of their hideout.

"Why did nobody wake us up?" Pein thundered.

"L-l-l-leader-sama...we were...uh...sleeping, yeah un!" Deidara nodded enthusiastically, but was promptly hit in the face by Hiruko's tail.

"Deidara, you were always horrible at lying," Konan smiled.

The blond looked away.

"We were chocolate cooking," Hidan muttered.

"Suuuuuure you were," Pein grinned, but even Deidara could tell he was being sarcastic (but Tobi couldn't).

"Yay! Leader-sama believed Hidan-san!" Tobi yelled joyfully.

Crickets chirped from within Zetsu's stomach.

"I shall forgive you this time," Pein said stiffly. "But there will be no next time.

"Yessir!" Kisame snapped to attention, but soon went back to braiding Itachi's hair, which the Uchiha seemed to be enjoying. Konan gawked at the sight.

"Good. It has come to my attention that the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki has always slipped away due to misfortunate accidents. This will not happen again. Sasori, Itachi, Deidara, Kisame. You four go and make sure you catch him!"

"Yessir!"

As Sasori and Itachi walked out, both were giving each other death glares.

"My money!" Itachi said gleefully, to which Sasori handed over ten dollars.

"I bet Deidara loses both arms again on this mission," Sasori grinned.

"Why do you keep betting on him? You're on."

And together, the four Akatsuki members walked off into the sunset. –cough-
