A/N: Ohmygoodness! I've actually written another chapter for Plushie Akatsuki! It's a miracle! And the particular Jesus responsible for this miracle is my loyal reader ChibiIchigo101, who went to the trouble of messaging me, which persuaded me to keep on writing! At first I had a ginourmous English essay of the most boring play in the world, but then I just felt too lazy to continue, a huge hug and cookies for all my readers that still have this story on alert despite my non-existent updates! Oh and one more thing (damn this A/N is long!) by now you should all be aware of my too-big paragraphs, so now I'm asking for a beta, I have no idea how that works, since I have never been a beta or had a beta before, but all it will require is to see if you can sort my paragraphs out (hehe), so if you think you're up to this extremely-easy-for-anyone-other-than-me task, click on the green-....wait a minute....IT'S NOT GREEN! Where has my lovely, shiny, green review button gone? Now it's just a few blue, underlined words with a little icon! That is so un-buttony it cannot be called a button! TT-TT oops off-track, anyway click on the blue, boring, unshiny not-button and leave me a review, or message me if you want to be my beta, that is all, now, let's get on with the chapter!

IMPORTANT: Do you remember in the 1st chapter, there was a letter attached to the box, it said 'From AF' I am now changing the letters to 'ST' for plot development reasons, it will be important later on, as in many many many many many chapters later when you've forgotten about it, so REMEMBER this! That is all...

Previously in Plushie Akatsuki... "I tried pulling away weakly, I couldn't see, which made me feel disorientated and I breathed in sharply, I felt his teeth against my skin as he grinned in triumph, then I let it all out in a shrill scream. I heard a clatter as he rushed to put on his mask again, and the door slammed open..."

His hand lifted from my face and I scrambled away from the evil lollipop as fast as possible, backing into the wall, "Tobi" said a voice coming from the door, I looked towards it to see...Pein? Pein nodded at Tobi/Madara, who stood up and followed him out of the kitchen, as soon as the door had closed, I stuck my tongue out at it and got up, dusting myself off. I walked over to the door and opened it just a crack, peering through, I could see a few black cloaks standing over by the sofa, so I opened the door a little more and poked my head out, "What are you, a fucking rabbit?", I jumped, hitting the side of my head on the door. I cradled the side of my head and let the door swing open slowly, and glared in the direction of the voice, only to widen my eyes and look away. Why, you ask? Because Hidan was currently shirtless.

I backed into the kitchen again, shutting the door. I stood there for a moment, trying to force my blush down unsuccessfully, until the handle started to turn, I gasped and held it so it wouldn't move, until a much greater force was exerted onto it and I was forced to let go. The door opened and Hidan stepped in, I rubbed my hands, "What do you want?" I said, trying to look away from his chest, I say trying because my eyes kept flicking towards it, no matter how hard I concentrated on something else, Hidan smirked "What do I want? Well I want a lot of things, I want to kill that money-whore Kakuzu, I want to kill that annoying bastard Tobi, I want to kill-", "Do all your 'wants' involve killing someone?" I interrupted, Hidan paused, and then grinned widely, "No, not all of my 'wants' involve killing someone" he said, looking me up and down suggestively, "Ugh" I said, folding my arms and walking past him, 'Why am I a fangirl to that creep again?'.

All of a sudden, the phone started ringing, I made a grab for it and shielded it from the oncoming kunai knives with a cushion, luckily we had many of these cushions, so my mum wouldn't notice if just one went missing, right? Anyway, I yelled at them all to shush, earning me some glares until Pein looked at them, jeez this guy can silence people just by looking at them! Oh yeah, the phone. I picked it up and pressed the little green button,

"Hello?"

"Hey, Ai-Spy",

my face lit up, it was my best guy friend, Gary, insane and a bit annoying, but funny as hell,

"Hiya, Lady GaGa", I could almost feel his eye-roll,

"Why do you insist on calling me that?",

I giggled "Because if I just called you Gary, I'd think of Spongebob's pet snail!",

"Miaow, hey are you busy?",

I frowned "No, why?",

"Cause Grandpa Joe's coming over!",

"Horrors!"

Grandpa Joe was Gary's 84-year-old grandpa, who had huge glasses that magnified his eyes to about ten times their size, teeth that were a yucky brownish colour, a hobby of ramming into people with his remote controlled wheelchair and a tendency to spit when he talked. It was understandable that Gary would call me in his time of need,

"D'you think I can come over so I can escape?",

I grinned "Hmm, I dunno, my mum said not to invite boys over...",

"Aww, c'mon! You're my only hope!",

I laughed "Alright, alright, you can come over, only because it would be sad if you were run over or dissolved by acidic saliva",

"THANKYOU, I owe you one!",

"You owe me twelve!",

"Ok, ok! Aaah! The doorbell just rang!",

"Quick, get your butt over here!",

"Ok, I'll see you in a bit!", and he hangs up.

I chuckled and put the phone down, and then I remembered the ninja behind me, "OH FUDGE I FORGOT!", I whipped around and opened my mouth, and almost immediately there was a hand over my mouth, AGAIN! Except this arm was attached to black threads coming out of Kakuzu's forearm, I'd seen it a million times in the episodes and fanart, but seeing it in real life was kind of creepy, I wrinkled my nose and thought 'Ewwwwww....."

Pein sort of-sighed,

'Don't worry, you're plenty creepy too'

he glared at me 'Could you pretty please tell Kakuzu to let me go?'

Pein looked at me like 'well what do you think?'

'Well, there's someone who'll be here any minute and I don't think you want other people to know about you yet, and if you just kill him then the police...urr...they're kind of like a non-ninja anbu, will get involved and I will go to jail and you'll be stuck as dolls until you rot!'

Pein blinked, before murmuring "Kakuzu", said person withdrawing his hand and re-attaching it to his forearm, I watched it intently "That is seriously freaky", Kakuzu rolled his eyes and Hidan laughed, I looked at him, "You're even freakier!", he stopped laughing and it was Kakuzu's turn to chuckle, "Shut it you fuckin' money-whore!", I sighed "super-calla-fraja-listic-ecspealla-docious...", and there were several poofs.

I was just arranging the plushies on the sofa when there a knock at the door, I opened it and there was Gary in all his tartan-scarf glory. His hair was long and frizzy so it stuck out like an afro, his skin was the colour of chilli-flavoured dark chocolate (his words, not mine) and his eyes were always glinting with mischief, he was literally 'ma bruvva from anuvver muvver', we didn't really argue, we disagreed on things but in the end we just agree to differ. My skin was pale from staying inside all the time, so we contrasted each other in a good way, we've dressed up as the yin-yang symbol before, he dyed his hair white and I dyed mine a reddish-brownish colour (it was the only dark colour we could find!) and we'd had these big costume-things. Anyway, I let him in and shut the door, "I spy a girl in her pyjamas" he said, chuckling", I looked down at myself, "Well would you look at that!" I said, "Would you mind terribly if I got dressed?" I said in my posh-hostess voice, he shook his head, grinning, "If you let me watch your TV", I laughed, "Sure" and ran into my room, putting on jeans, a t-shirt and the necessary underwear, and then walking back into the lounge.

Gary was watching the music channel that-I-can't-remember-the-name-of, and it was currently playing 'She's so Lovely' by Scouting For Girls, I snuck up behind him and jumped, which resulted in tumbling off the sofa and knocking off all the plushies, finally landing in a tangled heap on the floor, laughing our heads off. Until Gary pinned me to the floor and started tickling me, then my legs were flailing about and I accidentally kicked Mini-Itachi into the air to land on top of Gary's hair, and stay there. Gary kept on tickling, despite my pleads for mercy until, by a chance of fate, he lost his balance and fell forward, only managing to stop by supporting himself on his hands, the only problem with that was where one of his hands landed...

Our faces were red, and we were staring at his hand wide-eyed, where did his hand land, you say? Well, it landed directly on my boob! He squeezed it slightly, unintentionally, which made me gasp, which made him come to his senses and lurch backwards, away from me. I sat up and caught his eye as I was doing so, which made us blush even more. Then we sat on the sofa in awkward silence, until a certain song came on, which made Gary groan and put his hands over his ears, whilst I jumped up and sat closer to the TV. For this song was 'Baby' by Justin Bieber, the hottest male celebrity ever, in my opinion. Gary had been convinced that it was a girl singing when I showed him one of the songs on my iPod, and when he saw a picture, "He's gay"was all he said, I protested to this, and we'd almost started to fight about it, until we got into a glaring contest and made each other laugh.

The TV suddenly turned on and Spongebob appeared on the screen, I whipped around, "Hey!" I said, Gary stuck his tongue out at me and waved the remote, I made a grab for it and he held it high into the air, standing up. I pouted, "That's not fair! You're like a human skyscraper!", he grinned, "Then you must be a teensy weensy cottage", I put on my puppy eyes face and whimpered a bit for emphasis, he didn't buy it, "Nuh-uh, I'm not watching Dustbin Beaver", I glared "Stop calling my precious that!", he raised an eyebrow, "Your precious, eh?", he cradled and stroked the remote, "Then this is my precious" he said, which made me giggle, "But it's my TV", he pretended to glare at me, "You'll never take it alive!" and ran to the other end of the room, clutching the remote. I shrugged and pressed a button on the TV, Justin Bieber appeared again,

and then it was Spongebob again, I looked around, Gary was looking at the ceiling, whistling, I turned around, put my finger on the button and turned around again, pressing it,

Gary pointed the remote at the TV, but quickly changed it to scratching his shoulder when he saw me watching.

I sighed and turned the TV off and stood up, I then saw Mini-Itachi still atop Gary's hair, which made me burst out laughing, Gary looked confused, I walked up to him and grabbed Mini-Itachi off his head, and showed him to Gary. Thankfully, Gary was also a Naruto fan, so he knows about the Akatsuki and everything, his favourites are Konan and Tsunade, he poked Mini-Itachi, "When did you get this?" he asked, "For Christmas!" I replied, "I got the entire Akatsuki!", his face lit up, "Even Konan?" he asked excitedly, I sighed "No", he face fell, I giggled, "Only joking, I have her too", he punched my arm playfully, "You're mean!", I waved him off, "C'mon, I'll show you", and I walked over to the sofa again, looking around for Mini-Konan, I saw her and handed her to Gary, who grinned,

"I'll give you a fiver for her!" he said, my eyes widened,

"No!" I said, taking her back. He pouted,

"Ten quid!",

I shook my head, "Nope, I'm keeping her!",

he got down on his knees, "Twenty!",

I folded my arms and raised an eyebrow, "No is no, nothing you say or do will make me give her up!",

he sighed, "Fine, can I hug her?"

I was about to give her to him when I remembered about the poofing and stopped in my tracks, almost as if in slow motion, I saw Gary's hand pluck Konan from my grasp and hug her, I shut my eyes and waited for the 'poof', that I still hadn't heard...

I opened my eyes, Gary was glomping Mini-Konan, who was still in plushie form. I sighed with relief and sank to the floor, Gary paused in his glomping to look down at me curiously

"You ok?", he said, sitting cross-legged in front of me and putting Mini-Konan on his head, I smiled and nodded, "Yeah, just tired"

He grinned, "I bet you were up really late last night watching anime!"

I rubbed the back of my head, "Hehe, well I am an otaku!", I hated lying to him, but what else was I gonna say, 'Oh it's because I'm relieved Konan didn't transform into her real form and I'm tired because I've had to cope with the Akatsuki!', if I'd said that Gary would have either laughed and say that all the anime's gone to my head, or looked at me strangely and called the nearest asylum!

Gary laughed and plucked Konan from his head to resume glomping, which made me wonder why she hadn't transformed, there was no way Gary wasn't using enough strength, he was way stronger than me and glomping Mini-Konan with full force, I frowned, until suddenly I felt an icy chill go up my spine, so I looked at Mini-Konan, who, in her current position, was facing me, I gulped and decided to rescue her before she made up her mind to kill me.

I managed to grab her and held her behind my back, Gary pouted,

"I wasn't finished!"

"I'd like her to remain in one piece!" I mock-glared at him, he stuck his tongue out at me, we laughed.

Then Gary's Crazy Frog ringtone started and he sighed before pulling his phone out, all I heard was something along the lines of,

"Hello, yeah, ok, yeah, what? Oh, ok, has Grandpa gone yet? Phew! Ok, bye!", he closed his phone and looked at me apologetically, "Mum just ran to tell me to come home, Grandpa's gone now so I'll be safe!" he grinned, "Make sure to dodge the pools of acid and shark-infested custard!" I said jokingly, he stared me, "Shark-infested custard?", I waved him off, "Blame Harry Hill", he nodded and stood up, "Well I'd better go", he walked over to the TV and tried to hug it, "Farewell, my precious HD, flat-screen TV! I'll be back!" he exclaimed dramatically before extending his hand to me, "What? My TV get's a hug and I get a handshake?" I yelled with mock-anger and put my hands on my hips, Gary laughed and hugged me, which I gladly returned before he walked to the door and waved before disappearing down the street. I shut the door and picked up the Akatsuki and plopped on the sofa with them on my lap, "Okay, I guess you guys can stay as plushies a little longer, right?", the icy chill from earlier returned, only increased tenfold, I sweat-dropped, "I'll take that as a no then...", I sighed before glomping them all at once, and I was once more enveloped in white smoke.
