Chapter 8: The break in

"Jeez fine."

A few minutes later we set out, quietly sneaking off campus.

"We're taking the van." Pein ordered.

"TOBI CALLS SHOTGUN!" Tobi cheered as he skipped all the way to a black van- exactly like one of those they tell you to avoid when you're in middle school when someone offers you candy.

"This piece of crap again? Why don't we just get a new one." Hidan complained.

"Because someone keeps using our funds for his silly cult rituals." Kakuzu scolded, hand still in his pocket guarding his wad of cash.

We all piled into the van. Akira, I and Zetsu took the backseat, Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, Hidan and Tobi crammed into the middle (unfortunately for Tobi who did not get to ride shotgun) Pein in the drivers seat and Konan in the passengers. Kisame and Itachi were going in Itachi's car because Kisame said he might want to take some souvenirs home.

During the ride, I found out Zetsu was studying something about Biology- and that he used to be a cannibal. Okay not someone you want to be sitting next to during a car ride.

Pein followed Kisame's lead and stopped beside the main road about half and hour later and we got out thank god.

"Why did we get out in the middle of nowhere?" I asked.

"We're at the back entrance of Sea World." Kisame said, grinning broadly and feeling excited at the prospect of swimming with his scaly brothers.

We climbed through the shrubbery and made a dash from there across the parking lot to the back door, Tobi almost not making it.

Deidara and Tobi ran to the shrubbery by the side firecrackers in hand, shouting "HEY DOESNT IT SEEM LIKE A NICE NIGHT FOR GRILLED FISH?" And Deidara firing paintballs in every direction. I hid behind a dumpster and watched them disappear into the bushes and a few seconds later, pops and bursts of color illuminated the sky, followed by the shouts of a severely over weights and sleepy guard hollering "YOU FILTHY RASCALS!!"

When I was enjoying the show, Sasori tapped my shoulder and gestured for me to be quiet and go inside and handed me a flashlight. Itachi already picked the lock, wow. His name means weasel for a reason..

Konan, Pein and Zetsu had already set out for the control room to disarm the security cameras. Kakuzu and Hidan went off in search of more guards, Kisame was changing into his swimming trunks.

"Bye fellas, I'm going swimming!" He said happily and ran off bare footed and half naked into the dark.

"I guess it just leaves us," Akira said. "What do we do now?"

"We wait." Sasori replied.

As if on cue, a beep was heard all throughout the compound and the little red dot from the cameras was gone.

"Now we move," He grabbed his backpack and went of ahead of us.

We navigated our way to the middle of the compound where the bigger fishes were held, but apparently all of the tanks were already shuttered closed so we didn't get to see any fishes.

"Akira hand me a hammer." Sasori commanded and she placed the handle of a sledge into his palm. He took it and once he got a firm grip on it, he swung and broke the lock off the shutter, sending it up to the roof revealing a massive array of colorful fish.

"Let's get to work."

"Woah woah woah, we aren't gonna break the glass are we?" Akira said, shocked.

"Of course not you idiot. We would flood the place and who would want to be in the same place as a shark that's flopping around on the ground threatening to rip your leg off?" He snapped. "Now get to work."

I looked to Akira sympathetically and took a hammer out of the backpack. I mimicked Sasori's movements earlier to break open another lock but failed, terribly. I don't use my arm muscles much. I don't even exercise much. I dropped the hammer onto my toe and dammit it hurt.

You would've thought the hard rubber of a converse shoe would somehow manage to stop a hammer from crushing your toe right? Wrong. Akira snickered and Sasori groaned, rolling his eyes at me.

"Its like this-" He said, suddenly popping up from behind me and gripping my hands in his and wrapping them around the handle of the hammer. I could feel his body pressing against my back, I tensed up.

"You're tense.." He whispered into my ear, I felt my face redden. His breath felt hot against my skin. That was when he jammed two fingers into my side and I jerked my body uncomfortably in front and I squealed in shock. I elbowed him in the gut as hard as I could.

"IM TICKLISH YOU ASS!!!" I half yelled half laughed, I didn't know what I else to do. What else are you supposed to do when someone sticks two fingers into your side?

Sasori was doubling over in laughter and set his hammer beside him and clutching his stomach laughing. "Too bad!" He said between his fits of laughter, Akira was laughing too.

My face was redder than ever, didn't my elbow do any sort damage to him?

Well this proves my point, Sasori Akasuna is a jerk.
