((Yippee~ :boogie:))

Hidan scowled. "Tell me whatcha gonna lose to me first if I win." One day...well, he might be able to manage that...maybe........

...

......Even the voice in his head attempting to make it seem like he could succeed sounded weak.

(( LOLL, I loved that last line xDD ))

Itachi looked down thinking before coming up with something, "I'll cut my hair short and steal a couple thousand yen from Kakuzu's safe...if I lose..." He said looking at Hidan. No one knew better then him how dangerous it was to take money from Kakuzu.

((xD same))

"Wait..but what about if Hidan loses?" Mayu looked at Itachi, being curious of his response.

Itachi smirking happily, "Tobi gets to give him a makeover..." Itachi said with a snicker.

"MORE STICKERS?!?!" she could hear Tobi yell from where she was standing. Mayu began to laugh. "Oh man! That would be terrible!" she continued to chuckle. She could imagine Tobi putting his hair into pigtails and plastering his face with glitter, stickers and rhinestones. That image happened to be the most humorous thing she ever thought of that month.

Itachi snickered as he heard Tobi. Oh when Hidan lost, and he would lose, it would be so good. Tobi for one would be estatic and Hidan...Hidan would be mortified. "But wonderful..." he said laughing with Mayu.

Mayu attempted to calm herself down while she was still laughing. "S-so Hidan, what do you think?" she somehow she managed to calm down.

((;PPP))

"WHAT???" Hidan could feel the mental battle immediately starting inside his head. Wanting to See Itachi Lose vs Being Glitterfied. See Itachi lose. Glitterfied. See Itachi lose. Glitterfied. See Itachi lose. Glitterfied...

"Ffffffck!!" Grabbing his head with both hands and mussing his hair up in frustration, he finally decided to let Fate decide for him. Pulling out a coin from a pocket, he flipped it into the air, watching the coin spin before catching it with a hand without looking. Heads I accept the bet...tails I say 'fuck this', flip them the finger, and walk on... Taking a deep breath, he removed the hand covering the coin.

Heads.

...Gods damn it.

"Fine," He snapped, repocketing the coin and smoothing his hair back down with a hand. "But firstly, the bet ain't starting until after we both say 'deal', and second, that thousand fucking ryous you're gonna take from Kakuzu's going to me. But if the fucker ever finds out, you're taking the blame. Oh and lastly, no intentionally trying to get me to cuss!" Knowing his own temper, if someone baited him, he'd most likely 'cuss first, think about what just happened later'.

Mayu nodded. "Sounds fair to me. I'll just keep my tricks out of this then." she said rolling her sleeves up.

Tobi finished adding the glitter to Sai's unconcious face. Her face looked like a rainbow, he wondered how she didn't wake up from all the fun he was having. He stood up, proud of his artwork. So proud he called one who else but-- "DEIDARA-SEMPAI!! DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY ARTWORK?!?" he yelled from his spot at the terrorist.

(( I think it's about time for her to wake up... Heh, she's gonna totally flip. ))

No matter what was happening, her body was still weak, but she had to wake up at some point. A sudden yell helped a lot in the way of waking her up too. Her eyelids fluttered open and Sai found herself staring at a room. She was laying on a couch, but the simple fact that she saw she was in some kind of room. Her eyes widened in horror and she looked at the person standing nearby. She couldn't stop the reaction, she screamed. Scrambling backwards, she fell over the back of the couch and landed on the ground behind it.

These people lived in a cave. Obviously some kind of hideout, but still. A CAVE!!! That was so much more worse than if she'd woken in an ordinary room. She kept screaming too, until her voice gave out and she curled into a ball. Her hands held her head as tightly as she could manage and she began rocking back and forth. She began muttering something about needing to run, to escape. Most of the rambling was completely random and made no sense, but her eyes were wide with terror as she stared only at the space right in front of her.

"Ah~! You're awake!" he said happily as she woke up. As the stranger flipped out he raised a brow. He never would've figure that his lollipop mask was scary in anyway. ((I know, he just thinks that.)) He leaned on the couch onfron of him and looked over it to find the lady rockng back and forth in a fedal position. "Did Tobi scare you?" he asked, reeferring to himself in third person.

Mayu flinched as she heard the intense scream from inside the base. Even though the small group anticipated the trip, they were still standing outside discussing the terms of Itachi's bet. "Did you guys hear that?" she said looking back at the giant boulder blocking the entrance.

Sai paused in her rocking and looked back up at the new figure. The mask didn't scare her, only her surroundings. It felt like they were closing in on her again, just like it always felt when she was inside any room or building. Of course it was much worse in dark spaces or small, confined spaces. A freakin' cave. She shook her head fiercely. "Wha-? N-no... I...." She was having trouble finding the right words to say. She started rocking again, but this time she held her knees up to her chest. "W-what is this place?" She asked cautiously. "A-and... is there any way.... out?" The words came out as a whisper, her heart was pounding against her rib cage, and her mind was also still scattered. It was hard to think when she looked around, so she tried not to look too much.

"Hm? Oh, this is the Akatsuki Hideout! Leader-sama said were gonna move soon! Yay~!" she celebrated shortly. "What's you're name? I'm Tobi!" he leaned a bit closer towards her while he was on the edge of the couch.

Sai was still pretty freaked out, but she recognized something in that sentence. "Akatsuki." She'd heard of them before, but never had she run into them. Perhaps she might have seen individual members at one time or another as she herself had traveled and performed in different places. It was after she thought about that she realized he'd asked for her name. "Sai." She said simply. Her thoughts were still jumbled, and her tongue was having a hard time forming the correct sequence of sounds to speak her last name aloud. She looked around and immediately felt like the walls were closing in again, so she shut her eyes and held her knees up to her chest tighter.

Tobi frowned. "Why does Sai look so scared?" he asked, now curious of her reactions.

Sai shook her head vehemently, immediately she grabbed her head between her hands again and started rocking back and forth. "Th-the walls... the walls are... c-closing in..." She muttered between gasps. Even though there was plenty of space for her to breath, she was hyperventilating. Every time she chanced a look, the walls would continuously grow closer, and even spin sometimes. She couldn't even look at Tobi or else she'd see the world spinning around him.

Tobi's eyes widened. "What does Sai mean by that? The walls are standing still! See?" he pointed out to the nearest wall. He didn't unsterstand what claustrophobia was, what she said seemed almost silly to him--though he isn't the one talk.

Sai shook her head again. "NO!" She yelled, shaking her head again. "I don't... like... confined spaces.... it feels like..." Sai stopped as her head started spinning. At least it felt like it was. "I... I need to... get out..." She mumbled. She barely noticed the feeling of stuff all over her face, merely because she was having a severe panic attack. She was still breathing heavy, and talking between breaths.

Tobi frowned pitifully. He nodded, now knowing what to do. He reached out his hand to her. "Grab my hand, and cover your eyes if it helps.." he sounded serious for once. "Tobi will bring you outside." he said looking at her, another mission like this will promote him to a good boy once again.

Sai looked up at him again with wide eyes. Almost immediately after she closed them again and reached out with one hand. She was too afraid of saying something, and she had never quite experienced people being nice like this. It was a strange concept to her, and she didn't like that she'd had to spell out her problem in order to get help, but at the moment, there was no changing the fact. She needed help, and she needed it right now.

Hidan was still waiting for Itachi's respnose when he heard the small, faint scream coming from inside the base. Girl must've woke up...with Tobi. He thought, smirking. "Yeah, I did." He had a mental vision of her covered in stickers of all kinds and sparkling with glitter, with a horrified expression on her face. He sniggered. "I think Tobi might've...ah, startled her."

Tobi held her hand and got off the couch he stood at the side so she would be able to walk when he made his way to the exit of the room. He dashed to the entrance way and did a few handsigns with the only hand available. He then pushed the boulder and walked out quickly through the space he had made. Tobi walked around the boulder, panting. "Sai can open her eyes again." he said letting go of her hand and leaning on the boulder behind him as he tried to catch his breath.

Mayu saw as Tobi came out with the sticker-glitterfied girl. Oddly enough, the girl didn't seem to notice the decorations on her face. "What did you do, Tobi? Did you set your gold-fish on fire again?" she questioned now crossing her arms. She decided that it was a fine moment to crack a joke.

Hidan had been confused, wondering why Tobi was bringing the girl out. Hadn't he told him to 'take care of the girl with Deidara'? He hoped this wouldn't mean that they were actually going to come along....then he saw what the state of the girl was in, covered in stickers and glitter, and whatever he had been thinking about promptly disappeared from his mind. He burst out laughing.

"PFFFT BAHAHAHAHA!!" He laughed like a maniac, clutching his stomach with one hand and pointing at the girl with the other. "This is awesome! Ahahaha!!" Grinning insanely and slightly wheezing from the amount of air rushing out his lungs, he took in the multi-colored glitter along with every sticker possibly manufactured plastered all over the girl's face, arms, clothes, and some parts of her legs. What was even more funny was that the girl apparently hadn't noticed a thing about the state she was in. Maybe Tobi just wanted to show off his 'artwork'?

"Uh, n-no, Mayu-chan!! It turns out that Sai-chan is..cl...clau--clo. Erm...clautrofedal!" he tried to find the right words, failing tremendously. He had heard the word somewhere before, but what was it?

Mayu raised her brow at the man. "...You mean..'claustrophobic', right?" she corrected him. Tobi nodded.
