Itachi threw another kunai at the target, impeccably aimed even though his sight was deteriorating. He picked up another one, turning to the deafeningly orange target behind him when something struck him like a bolt of lightning.

“Have you ever seen it?” Kisame looked up from the newspaper he was reading.

“What?”

“Tobi’s face.” The Konoha missing-nin twirled the kunai idly in his fingers as he looked at the target.

“No. So what?” Kisame replied, returning to the Obituary section of the paper.

“So most of our organisation have weird faces...or pretty boy faces.” Kisame briefly wondered exactly what was in that special ‘nutrition’ shake that Leader-sama had made for Itachi this morning. “Do you think his face could be that mask?” Kisame folded his paper and placed it to the side, deciding that watching his partner’s sanity disappear, along with his eyesight, was more interesting than dead people.

“Probably not...”

“Then you know what we must do.”

“...No.”

“We must find out what is underneath his mask, idiot.”

“Why?”

“Because I said so.” Kisame stood stony under Itachi’s perfected glare but agreed to anyway before it became infected with the mangekyo. The Uchiha smirked and threw the last kunai at the offensively orange target, hitting another bullseye and breaking it in half before he walked back into the hideout.

What did I just get roped into...? Kisame inwardly groaned as he headbutted the wall he was sitting on.

“Deidara-senpai...” Tobi timidly came forward as he saw his partner working on his art, unconsciously rubbing the not-quite-healed spot where Deidara had blasted Tobi for disturbing him during sculpting.

“Un...”

“Why are there no cupcakes?” Deidara stopped sculpting and looked up at the newest Akatsuki member in disbelief.

“What?!”

“Why are there no cupcakes, Deidara-senpai?”

“I think Leader-sama hates them or something, un.” Deidara watched the hyperactive man become visibly distressed.

“Then you know what we must do.”

“...No.”

“We must get cupcakes and show Leader-sama the true beauty of them!”

“Why?” Tobi made a puppy-dog face underneath his mask and Deidara sighed, that damned rule about not killing your partner was a very bad one. He’d have to mention rebuking it at the next mission. “...Alright.” The dark-haired man visibly brightened and grabbed Deidara by the arm, dragging the artist out.

This was a bad idea... Deidara thought as he tried to stop his hand from biting his kidnapper.
