A/N: Okay, welcome to chapter two! For those of you who have chosen to continue reading, thank you! So like before please review, favourite and all that...

Konan

"Where are the others?"

As if on cue, Sakura slips into the room calling for me. I nearly sigh in relief.

"Ah, there you are Konan! I've been looking all over for you! I tried your room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the roof, the basement, which I should inform you in nonexistent by the way, the attic-" She finally notices Sasuke on the couch.

"Oh Sasuke is here! Why didn't you tell us our very late friend had arrived? I thought poor Hidan over there," she points in the said direction, "was going to tear apart furniture in his impatience! That's why I came looking for you, you see. I mean honestly for a guy nicknamed 'lucky' he certainly hasn't been bestowed with the best of it-"

"That's why we call him that. Because he is very unlucky." Sasuke interjects.

Ironic enough, Hidan shows up saving us all from Sakura's next stream of babble. "Hey, I'm not that unlucky, you bastard! And, honestly, you're one to talk! I thought you'd never get your ass here! You've got some nerve! Making us wait on you like you're bloody royalty of some kind or another!" he replies heatedly.

"And you!" he turns to Sakura, "You're a real pain in the ass, you know that? I was impatient enough waiting on him, and you won't fucking shut up!"

"And Konan!"

I stiffen as he turns his anger on me.

"How could you leave me alone with that-That babbling monster!" Sakura gives an offended look at this accusation, "I swear I thought my head was going to fucking explode! My mind has been blown to fucking bits by her non-stop chatter!" He heaves, lacking the energy to say anything else.

Sasuke rolls his eyes.

"As if you've got a mind to blow in the first place..."

Hidan opens his mouth to retort but nothing comes out. I sigh.

"Hidan, I apologize for leaving you alone with Sakura. Sasuke, it doesn't matter what you're caught up in, you can't have us waiting with no clue as to when you'll be making your arrival. And Sakura, how much sugar have you had today?"

The boys both make audible grunts that I acknowledge as affirmatives, while Sakura turns pink.

"Umm... not... a lot."

"How much?" I repeat.

"... Two."

"Two teaspoons?"

"... Two jars..."

"TWO JARS!" Hidan explodes.

"And that's not a lot... How?" Sasuke asks, bewilderment clear in his widened eyes.

I bring a hand to my temple and sit on a couch, unable to deal with this. Sakura is wailing, Hidan is cursing, and Sasuke tosses himself on the adjacent couch, ignoring me and the rest of the commotion around us. I shake my head. How am I supposed to mediate this?

"Okay! Can everyone just-"

The room instantly silences.

Nagato had just wheeled himself in.

A/N: I realise my chapters are rather short, and I apologise for that. I try to make my chapters as long as possible, but I also like to keep them consistent. I'll try to make them longer in the future. In the mean time, follow, favourite, and please, please review! See you in the next chapter (:
