I do not own Naruto but I DO own the all the OCs

Chapter 23: "Hospitality"?

The next day, everyone was in Hidan, Kakuzu and Sasori's living room, trying to find a way around the major problem.

"So what exactly are you going to do, Kakuzu-kun?" Hareta asked.

"I'm not done thinking yet," Kakuzu growled, annoyed at the question that had been asked too many times that day.

Hidan had his head on the table. "I am done. Life is cruel."

"Hidan," Fuyumi said. "You've been lamenting for an hour now."

Hidan mumbled curses.

"There is no way around this," Sasori said. "It's a fact guys."

Suddenly, somebody knocked on the door.

"People read that fast?" Kakuzu pondered, knowing it was the media.

Hidan began moaning again and uttering curses.

"Just don't open it," Sasori said, leaning back in his chair.

The knocking continued for a second, and then stopped.

"I come all the way here, and no one opens the door," a familiar voice complained. "I mean, omigosh, those people!"

"Wait," Kakuzu said. "I know that voice. Katamaru?"

Hidan looked up for a second. "But why?"

"I'll go see," Erena got up from the chair she was sitting in.

She opened the door.

"Finally." Sure enough it was Katamaru.

"What are you doing here?" Kakuzu asked.

Katamaru let himself in. "I came here for something important."

Kakuzu looked at him questioningly.

Katamaru held out a CPU memory chip.

"See this?" he asked. "It holds all that info you were trying to delete."

Kakuzu rolled his eyes and let out a disaproving sigh. "If you came here to gloat--"

Katamaru dropped the memory chip on the floor crushed it with his foot.

"There," he said. "That takes care of everything."

Everyone stared in awe and confusion.

"You're lying," Kakuzu finally said.

"No," Katamaru said, simply.

"I don't believe you. And trust me, you don't want to openly deceive me."

"Listen. I wouldn't come all the way up here to gloat. What point would that have to that? And if you still foolishly don't believe me, give me a computer and I'll give you a record of all my sent e-mail drafts."

Kakuzu looked at him skeptically.

Suddenly, Katamaru's cell phone rang.

Katamaru glanced at it and smiled. "Proof."

He put it on speaker.

"Katamaru-kun," a male voice came through the speaker. "Why did you cancel the article?"

"I'm busy right now," Katamaru replied. "Chow."

He gave Kakuzu a proud look.

Kakuzu studied him.

"One word:" Sasori said. "Why?"

Katamaru glanced over at Kakuzu. "I just figured I was too hospitable to do something so despicable."

"You make me sick," Kakuzu said.

"Aww."

Kakuzu went up to Katamaru. "If you touch him--"

"Relax. I won't touch your boyfriend."

"On second thought maybe I'll just kill you now."

Sasori held Kakuzu back.

"Okay, okay," Katamaru put his hands up in mock surrender. "Half-boyfriend."

Kakuzu clenched his fist and tried to punch him.

"Shut up if you want to live," Sasori said, losing his grip.

"Alright," Katamaru smiled. "Oh, and this is all under one condition."

"I knew it!" Kakuzu yelled.

"I get to come with you guys when ever I want."

"No wa--"

"I can just rewrite the article."

Kakuzu banged his fist on the wall. "Fine."

"Good. Well, see you guys later. Chow."

With that, he left.

Hidan sat up. "Well, at least life will be more...interesting?"

Everyone groaned.

That was exactly what they didn't want.

Thanks for reading people! X) Katamaru is one of those characters who can seriously get on peoples' nerves I guess. LOL! Kakuzu for the main part. So you all can probably guess what the future will be like for those two. LOL! :D
