I'm so sorry for not updating on Friday! My Internet died on me and because I was in London all evening and really tired when I got back I didn't update! And then my Internet was only up for about two hours this weekend! So sorry!
Note-there is some Sasuke bashing in this chapter, so for those who don't like that then you may want to wait until Friday, because chapter 7 won't make much sense if you don't read this. If you wait till Friday you'll skip the Sasuke bashing and understand this story.
"Hey! We have neighbours!" Naruto exclaimed the next morning as he finished his scrambled eggs and glanced out of the window. A large bright red car was in the drive way that defiantly didn't belong to them.
"We should go and meet them," Kakashi said as he finished his large breakfast of egg, toast, tomatoes, bacon and coffee.
"Agreed," Sasuke, the loser of the rock, paper, scissors game used to decide who would do the washing up, said. He was staring at the pile of things Kakashi had used to just cook his breakfast, which was closer to the ceiling than the floor.
"It's something to do," Sakura said, slipping her shoes on. So that was how Team 7 ended up knocking on their neighbours' door. After half a minute a grey haired man came to the door. It looked like he might possibly have a hangover. His hair was unloved, messy. His eyes were half shut and were struggling to take everything in. He looked like he had had less than an hour's sleep. He glazed blearily at them before running a hand though his hair in an attempt to sort it out. Once he had done so Team 7's eyes widened. The man saw their expressions and took a proper look at them, then at the exact same moment everyone raised an arm and yelled, "YOU!"
"'sstupidlittlebrother'shere!" Hidan bellowed, recovering first. (Pein Konoha ninjas are here what the hell are we going to do Itachi's stupid little brother's here!)
"Itachi is here? Lemme me at him I must kill him!" Sasuke yelled.
"No! Bad Sasuke, no killing Itachi!" Naruto and Sakura yelled, grabbing hold of their teammate.
"How did he pick out Itachi's name from that?" Kakashi muttered. At this point Pein appeared, looking about as annoyed as a tired leader of an evil organisation woken up by one of his minions screaming could.
"What are you yelling about Hidan? Something about...oh..." he trailed off as he saw Team 7. A very long silence followed. Naturally either Hidan or Naruto had to break the silence, so naturally one of them did.
"Is Deidara there? I still owe him some money for blowing up the tower last week," Naruto said, taking a few notes out of his pocket. Kakuzu suddenly appeared. "Where's the money?" he asked. Pein sighed.
"Leave it or your paycheck suffers," he said flatly. Kakuzu left as suddenly as he had come. Pein turned back to the Konoha ninjas.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"We could ask you the same question," Kakashi answered.
"We needed a vacation before someone went insane because of the other nine members of the Akatsuki," Pein explained.
"That's like us, sort of. We were all dying of boredom back in Konoha, we haven't been on a mission in ages, so Kakashi sensei brought us here," Naruto said. He hesitated. "So how is this going to work? I mean, Sasuke is less than fifty meters away from Itachi, and aren't we meant to be mortal enemies?"
"We're on vacation, we aren't enemies until we get back home!" someone bellowed from upstairs. Oddly nobody upstairs yelled at them, something Team 7 had been expecting.
"That's how it's gonna work," Hidan muttered, slowly walking backwards and out of sight. He reappeared ten seconds later.
"Konan's gone back to bed," he said, looking and sounding like a child who had everything to be thankful for and was thankful.
"Oh thank God, Jashin and heaven!" Pein yelled, but very quietly. He then turned and said "goodbye" before shutting the door.
"Well this proves to be interesting…" Sakura said.
It was thought that the Akatsuki and Team 7 would leave each other well alone, but something happened that broke the ice and brought them together as friends.
That night Naruto grabbed a torch, turned it on, and creepily illuminated his face.
"Have you ever wondered what's underneath it?" he asked. Sasuke punched him on the head promptly and yelled, "idiot, what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about Kakashi sensei and his mask of course," was the answer. "We've never seen what's underneath it. And now that he's asleep don't you think…?"
"No idiot!" Sasuke yelled.
At the exact same time that this was going on…
That night Deidara grabbed a torch, turned it on, and creepily illuminated his face.
"Have you ever wondered what's underneath it?" he asked. Itachi punched him on the head promptly and yelled, "idiot, what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about Kakuzu and his mask of course," was the answer. "We've never seen what's underneath it. Well we have but those threads always obstruct the entire view! And now that he's asleep don't you think…?"
"No idiot!" Itachi yelled.
But just after the Uchiha brothers had finished speaking the idea of seeing what was under the masks sank into everyone's minds.
"Let's do it," everyone minus Pein, Konan, (because they were sleeping) Kakashi and Kakuzu said.
So in Team 7's part of the cottage Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura crept upstairs, They very, very slowly opened the door to Kakashi's room, having learnt earlier that it creaked if you opened it too quickly. It was then that they ran into a problem. The Akatsuki had been doing the exact same thing at the exact same time and also had this problem. Both Kakashi and Kakuzu slept with their lower face under the covers. All eyes turned to Hidan and Naruto.
"What?" they both said, completely unaware of what was about to be asked of both of them.
"Do it."
"What?"
"Take back the covers so we can see his face," Deidara and Sakura said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, which in a way, it was.
"No," was the response. "Why me?"
"Because we won't shed in any tears if you're horribly maimed or worse."
"Because your immortal idiot."
So with a death glare followed by a pleading look, Naruto and Hidan made to draw back the covers.
Kakashi's eyes shot open.
Kakuzu's eyes shot open.
Hidan nearly broke out of character and screamed, but was stopped by Kisame slapping a hand over his mouth and slowly dragging him towards the door and everyone else. Then they started towards the stairs. Then all of Kakuzu's masks appeared and went for them. The Akatsuki screamed and ran.
"We're sorry sensei!" Sakura yelled as Kakashi chased them through the cottage.
"I've only had an hour's sleep in the last forty-eight hours!" Kakashi bellowed. "The second I try to get any sleep you all wake me up!"
"It's not our fault that you react so much to us wanting to see what's under the mask," Sasuke muttered. Kakashi somehow heard the comment and increased his pace.
"Sasuke you idiot!" Naruto yelled as they sprinted along. Then they came to a door, A door that led to the Akatsuki's side of the cottage.
The Akatsuki came to this door at the same time.
"We'll be safe on the other side!" was what everyone thought. So, at the same time, the Akatsuki and Team 7 charged into the door. As there were more Akatsuki than Team 7, and the Akatsuki were stronger, they were the ones that broke the door down.
"Huh? What are you guys doing there?" Zetsu asked, looking at Team 7's limbs which were sticking out from under the door.
"We could ask the same question," Sakura said, pulling herself free.
"Die!" Kakuzu yelled from somewhere, just as a lightning bolt shot through the floor, nearly hitting Sasori. Sasuke, who was now free, screamed and jumped into Itachi's arms. Then the two realised what was going on and Sasuke was dropped, resulting in him looking fairly annoyed.
"Die!" Kakashi yelled, running down the corridor towards the group with a full powered Chidori.
"So that's what you were doing there," Deidara said, putting the pieces together as Kakuzu ran towards them with his wind and fire masks. The resulting explosion sent Team 7 and the Akatsuki flying.
"Looks like Team 7 and the Akatsuki are blasting off again!" Deidara and Naruto yelled as the group turned into a star in the distance.
"Again?" Itachi said.
With a large splash the group hit the ocean. Water flew ten feet up into the air and splashed down on the surfacing people, making them cough and splutter even more.
"And this is why you don't listen to blondes who actually idiots and blonde pyromaniacs (sorry to the blonde people out there!)," Itachi muttered as he climbed on top of the water in that fantastic way only he can pull off.
'Itachi, now that we are so far out to see I will kill you!" Sasuke yelled. Everyone wisely moved away from the two as Sasuke prepared his jutsu. He performed the hand signs and inhaled. However when he inhaled he made the mistake of stopping his treading water action. In over words he sank. Thinking that he could overcome the ocean Sasuke continued his jutsu, blowing out, but only managing to get rid of all his oxygen and in the end letting even more water in. When he came up he was coughing up most of the ocean.
"You can relate to this guy Hidan!" Zetsu said from his position on Kisame's shoulder. He's a plant, and plants can drown, like humans, so he needed the help of a fish man.
"No I can't. I puked, not fucking coughed, up something a lot dirtier than the fucking ocean along with leeches. This kid hasn't even coughed up a minnow," Hidan said.
"Can someone help me?" Deidara asked, almost completely submerged. He was holding his hands above the water to save his mouths, and was therefore unable to use them. Hidan swam over and Deidara took his shoulder. He looked around and said,
"I see land, leave the Uchiha…"
"Hey!"
"I meant Sasuke Itachi. Now leave him and let's go!"
"Wait! If we leave Sasuke to cough to death, me and Sakura could get charged with murder!" Narutp protested.
"Good point! Kisame, make a giant wave to wash us ashore and if we're lucky Sasuke will be swept back into the sea!"
"Got it Deidara!" Kisame yelled, making the handsigns. Five seconds later a huge wave picked them all up and sent them flying towards dry land and gasping for breath, they landed.
"Never again," was the collective thought of everyone as they sat up.
I might put the next chapter up today, but I really wanna go to sleep, so if it doesn't get posted today then it will get posted tomorrow (which will be the only time a chapter will probably get posted on any day besides Monday and Friday).
