"Why? Why are we going on holiday? Don't you remember the last time we went on holiday? We met Kisame's family and Deidara's cousin. Zetsu spent the holiday attempting to turn the Hoshigaki family into sushi, and Deidara's cousin kicked us out when Sasori and Deidara started arguing about art and Deidara nearly blew us up!" Hidan yelled, his voice getting higher and higher the more he ranted.

"We're going Hidan. Now shut up and go and pack before I give your pay check, which is higher this week because we recently got a load more money, to Kakuzu," Pein threatened.

"So..."

"Kakuzu!"

"I'll be packing."

Pein sighed with relief as Hidan disappeared. Now he had to get his entire organization to the cottage, with all of them in one piece. Why on earth had he ever founded this organization? And who knew planning a vacation would be so complicated. Everyone except him, Konan and Tobi had been completely against going to the cottage. There had been a number of sabotage attempts but so far none of them had worked.

Hidan had claimed that the vacation fell on the extremely important holiday, "Salt in your wounds". After Pein had calmly asked for evidence of this holiday, it had turned out it was held the month before. And that it had been scrawled on a five year old calendar with a pen that's ink apparently didn't dry after five years, you had to wait ten years. Pein had raised an eyebrow and pointed at the door.

Deidara and Sasori had claimed that they were both working on their art when a puppet's hand had accidentally slipped and knocked one very explosive thing into another. The result? An explosion that Deidara looked incredibly happy about. They had then claimed that it was impossible for them to go on holiday as they needed money to repair. Pein however had dryly said "I'll take it out of your pay check" before walking away, leaving poor Sasori and Deidara to be glared at by the rest of the Akatsuki, minus Konan and Tobi.

Zetsu had threatened to eat everything, until Pein had produced a bottle of weed killer and gone out into the garden with it. Needless to say Zetsu had disappeared very quickly.

Kakuzu, Itachi and Kisame had all teamed up. First, Kakuzu had gone over the cost and produced a list of ideas that were cheaper (aka, not going anywhere). Once that had failed, Itachi had come in and threatened to set Pein on fire with Amatersu. Pein had gone and fetched a hose, before attacking Itachi and Kakuzu with it. After that, Kisame had got down on his knees and begged. After Pein had read all the Harry Potter books, he dragged the still begging Kisame out of his office.

Then they had all desperately gone to plan...E, which consisted of a puppet accidentally almost falling on top of Pein (he used a basic fire technique and sent it up in flames) followed by Hidan running up to him and saying that Deidara was about to blow him up, just as a large explosion happened, which Pein barely dodged, which just happened to knock Hidan towards Pein, whist holding his scythe with the blades facing Pein (Pein had proceeded to kick Hidan into Deidara, who was looking to see if the strategy had worked). Then Zetsu had run up to him with several plants, saying that Pein simply must save them, as they were his newest poisonous plants, whist trying to stuff the plants into Pein's face (Pein had produced some weed killer and sprayed the plants). Kakuzu attempted to beat Pein up (Pein merely found some fake money and proceeded to tear it up, reducing Kakuzu to tears), and Itachi and Kisame had attempted to trap him in a genjutsu and half-drown him (Pein started eating sushi, completely destroying Kisame, and read a book, thus avoiding Itachi's eyes).

He picked up a large, rather menacing looking mallet. If a fight, however big, broke out or someone refused to do something, it would be very useful...

It's hard to say who's more evil, Pein or the others...next chapter will be up today!
