“On the count of three, 1...2…3!” Hidan charged at their dorm room’s door.
“Such an idiot.”

“GAH!” Hidan stumbled back falling onto the ground as the door shook violently, but did not budge. “Pudding.”

“Would you stop staying that!” Kakuzu hissed quietly, standing over Hidan.

“Why the pudding not.”

“It sounds weird, it’s stupid, you’ve said it about, oh I don’t know 435 times in the past hour, and I will never be able to eat pudding again.”

“Like I care about you.” Hidan stood up rubbing the back of his neck. Standing beside him Kakuzu were Pein, Konan, Sasori, and Tobi. The rest were all sleeping in hallway.

“Let’s all just get some rest, we’ll ask the office in the morning, but right now it’s closed.” Pein said groggily, Konan and Sasori nodded in agreement.

The hallway was dark, except for a small light coming from the end used to light up the stairwell. Itachi and Kisame were both sleeping peacefully up against the wall.

“Awww, Sempai and pretty girl are just so cute.” Tobi said happily.

Deidara had his arm around Sakura as they were both curled up on the floor; the pink-haired girl was nuzzling her face into Deidara’s chest.

“First off, before you moved them, they were sleeping at opposite ends of the hallway, secondly when they wake up we are all dead.” Sasori mumbled, truly not looking forward to the yelling that was due anytime now.

“Would everyone just sleep?” Pein growled in whisper, falling back against the wall next to Konan. The Akatsuki leader sighed out in exhaustion.

“Why did you guys make me ram the door anyway?!”

“You’re the one who woke up, woke me and the others up, and then charged in anger at the door. It was all you’re doing stupid.”

“Pudding you.”

“Stop saying that, wasn’t ruining my favorite dessert enough for you?!” Kakuzu clenched his fists, Hidan walked over to his partner, shooting him a nasty look.

“Stop it you two!” Pein yelled, slamming his hands onto the ground.

“HOLY CRAP, UN!”

“PERVERT!”

“YOU’RE ALL DEAD, UN!”

“Hn.” Itachi rubbed his eyes, looking up from his sleep to see Sakura and Deidara strangling each other.

“Shhh some of us are trying to sleep, right Itachi?” Kisame looked over at the Uchiha.

“Guess were all up!” Pein said, standing up and throwing his arms up in the air.

“Uh why are you guys in the hallway?” The voice sounded extremely baffled.

Everyone turned to see Zetsu standing in the doorway. Sakura blinked, now she was confused. Sasori sighed; this night just couldn’t get any better.

Zetsu had dark black hair, with green eyes; he’d been given a reputation to change moods very fast. Although most of the other Akatsuki’s had grown quite used to it, although Sakura was quite frightened by it.

“Uh-” Sakura released her grip on Deidara’s ponytail, the blond sneered stalking away from her over to Sasori.

“What the hell is going on, un?”

“I heard racket coming from the hallway, not to mention it sounded like someone had nuked the door a few minutes ago-”

“Hidan.”

Just from Kakuzu’s one word Zetsu already knew what he meant, and nodded his head lightly in understanding. “Yes well, I had a spare key made and when I got back, well no one was here…” Zetsu paused for a second deciding that he better finish up, because he was getting some of the deadliest glares that he’d ever seen. “Lost the key?”

“Blame Pinkie, un.”

“Blame the Pervert.”

“What does this have to do with me, un?!” Sakura and Deidara were both at each others throats again.

“If you hadn’t mutilated my je-”

“Only a messed up person pays two hundred dollars for a pair of crappy jeans, un.”

“Only a pervert would put their roommate’s jeans on!”

“Should we stop them?” Tobi whispered to Pein, the other Akatsuki’s were already inside the dorm room. Sakura and Deidara failed to notice due to their constant bickering.

“Lets leave just them outside; I need some sleep for once.” Pein quickly shut the door and locked it, breathing out a sigh of relief. He didn’t need a further explanation from Zetsu as to how he was in the dorm room the entire time. The only thing he cared about was getting everyone else to shut up.

Deidara and Sakura now stared at the closed door.

“What the hell just happened, un?”

“I blame you.”

Deidara shoved Sakura to the side and began banging on the door.

“Let me in; don’t leave me out here with Pinkie! Do you want me to end up dead, un?!”

“I wouldn’t mind…” Sasori mumbled climbing into bed.

Sakura wrapped her arms around her, a shiver traveling down her spine. She was just now realizing how cold the hallway actually was.

“Come one let us in, I’ll freeze to death out here!” Sakura yelled banging the palm of her hand against the door. She bit down on her bottom lip, not liking her situation at all.

“Then maybe you two should snuggle to keep warm!” Tobi giggled out excitedly through the door. He quickly pressed his ear up against the door, trying to hear the reaction.

“I wish you would all die, un!”

“Come on don’t leave me out here with the pervert!”

“SHUT UP AND LET US ALL GET SOME SLEEP!”

Everyone in the dorm room stared at their leader silently. One word…scary.

“How about…peanut butter?”

“What?!”

“Peanut butter you.”

“Stop it just never speak again!”

“Peanut butter.” Hidan made sure to draw out ever syllable.

“That is just wrong!”

“WOULD YOU TWO JUST SHUT UP?!”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Good morning Sempai!”
Deidara snapped his eyes open to see Tobi and the rest of the Akatsuki standing out in the hallway, all crowding around him. He crunched his face to put on his best ‘Stay away from me and I won’t kill you for making me sleep in the cold hallway with a stupid girl’ look.

“Whats so great about it, un?”

“It’s Happy Days time!”

“Right the stupid thing we go to every year, un.” Deidara was not excited in the least; in fact he’d rather be thrown in a nail pit.

“Where is the girl?”

Deidara turned to Sasori and rolled his eyes. “She was sleeping right across from me, un.”

“She’s not here.”

“We lost Pretty girl!” Tobi paced around the hallway franticly, only to have Kisame take hold of one of Tobi’s shoulders bringing the boy to a halt.

“She’s right here.” Itachi motioned to the stair well entrance, where Sakura stood looking baffled.

“What?”

“Where were you, un?” Deidara made his way over to Sakura. The girl smirked and walked past Deidara, over to Konan.

“You’re not my mom. Although you could probably pass for someone else’s...”

“Don’t even go there Pinkie!”

“Dei-chan.”

“Oooooooooooo sempai got dissed.” Tobi did an approving nod in Sakura’s direction.

Pein sighed, the pair had been awake for about five minutes and they were already arguing. “Let’s just get this over with everyone.”

“Don’t talk about tradition like that.” Tobi said happily, making sure that he had his money for cotton candy.

Pein headed over to the stair well with every one following behind. Tobi and Sasori made sure to fall to the back of the group, getting out of hearing reach.

“Remember the plan?” Sasori asked grinning.

“Yep.”

“Good then lets put to Plan: Kiss into action.

“Heh, Sempai and Pretty girl forever. Tobi giggled quietly, making a heart shape with both of his hands.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The outside area could easily pass for a fair. The Akatsuki and Sakura stood in the parking lot, a few feet from the ticket booth. Behind the entrance were the many rides, games, and arcades.
Happy Days was a local attraction, it was like the fairs that would blow into town, but leave after a week. Nope Happy Days was permanent, and that worked against Sasori. Spending his day in what he would describe as a germ infested and over crowed area was just not his cup of tea. Although it was Tobi’s.

“I missed this place!” Tobi grinned, his eyes widening in excitement.

“Yes, yes I know how exciting Happy Days is.” Pein voiced out mono-tone. “But first things first.”

Everyone was in a half circle as Pein addressed them. The Akatsuki leader pulled out many handcuffs and everyone new what this meant. “Sakura you’ll be paired with Deidara.” He tossed the handcuffs to the girl; she caught them and lazily handed them over to the blond.

“Sasori you’re with Tobi.” Tobi held out his hands to catch the handcuffs. Pein rolled his eyes and tossed them to red-head.

“Hidan you’re with Kakuzu.” He tossed the second to last pair to Kakuzu.

“Yea that was a shock.” Hidan sarcastically remarked. He was always paired with the money loving freak.

“Zetsu can go on his own…finally we have Konan and I.” Zetsu shrugged, he preferred being alone. “Ok, everyone please put on your handcuffs; this is only to ensure that no one gets separated or more importantly does anything illegal today. Deidara groaned as he cuffed Sakura and himself together. Sakura placed a hand on her hip, she already hated today.

The pairs were now cuffed together, the only one smiling was Tobi, but then again he was always smiling.

“Speaking of rules…” Pein brought up the subject no one wanted to hear. The Akatsuki leader raised his finger in the air, closing his eyes. Pein spoke in a dignified manner, and began reciting the rules. He started with the one for Kakuzu about how he can’t touch anything because the whole park is like one big arcade.

Sakura felt a tug on the handcuffs as she was forcibly moved a few inches. “De-” Deidara clamed his hand over her mouth as they silently ran into the fair, the blond nodded back at Konan thankfully. She figured that everyone else shouldn’t have to suffer.

Behind Deidara was everyone, but Zetsu. Around them were booths and many different signs directing people to the rides and attractions.

“Shessh good thing were out of there, Leader can talk for hours about rules.” Hidan commented, slicking his hair back acting suave as a girl walked passed him.

“I’m out of you league.” The girl smirked, causing Kakuzu to have to restrain Hidan from killing the girl as she walked away.

“Bitch.”

“Eh, we’ll see you guys later, come on Pinkie its powered donut time, un!”

Sakura sighed as she felt another yank on the handcuffs as Deidara pulled away from the group. “I should have stolen the keys from Pein, when he wasn’t looking…” Sakura drabbled on to herself.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thirty minutes later…

Pein opened his eyes.

“Where’d everyone go?”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“More, un.”
“But uh, sir this is a little-”

“MORE!”

The man’s pupils enlarged as he complied with Deidara’s wishes. He added what seemed to be a mountain of powered sugar on top of the plate of already powered donuts.

“Thank you, un.” Deidara happily grabbed plate with the over powered donuts sitting on it. He led Sakura over to the nearest bench, where they both sat down. Deidara wasted no time in picking up his spoon and shoving a large heap of sugar into his mouth.

“That’s disgusting.” Sakura turned away from the sight of Deidara shoveling down powdered sugar.

“Here try some Pinkie!” Deidara held out a spoonful in her direction.

“No way, you don’t want to see what happens to me when I eat sugar-” With Sakura’s face in his direction, he quickly forced the spoon into her mouth. “Mphhh!”

She spat back out the plastic spoon and it landed on the ground by her feat. “Good ,un?”

Sakura’s left eye twitched repeatedly.

“Uh…Pinkie what was that about you not being able to handle large amounts of sugar, un?”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deidara felt someone tap him on his shoulder, pulling his gaze away from the twitching girl.

“Well if it isn’t Deidara…”

“Crap.”
