Hello! So I guess by now you know that it's me and Luc against Sam? Good! Okay, so I have a plan and it's going to be put into action in this. I love you my fellow innocent bystanders! Oh, and Sam, I love you, but I really hate being grounded so......yeah......I hope you enjoy this :)

"Okay, are you ready?" Lucy asked, looking over at me. I nodded.

"Ugh, I freaking hate shorts...and tank tops!" I hissed.

"I thought you wore shorts all the time?" Lucy asked while petting Oreo who purred.

"Only when it's incredibly hot and when Sam makes me because 'I need to stop feeling insecure about myself"," I said, rolling my eyes and using air quotes. Lucy laughed.

"You ready?" Luc asked, an evil glint in her eye and I nodded.

"Just keep up with me," I smirked and she returned it.

"Oh please, you're gonna be the one that has to keep up with me," Lucy stuck her tongue out at me and I laughed, nodding.

"Okay, so these are the people on our team: Kakuzu, Zetsu, Tobi, Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Shikimaru, TenTen, Chouji, Deidara, and Temari," I breathed out. Lucy nodded.

"So who does Sam have on her side?" Lucy asked.

"All of the uchihas, Konan, Pein, Gaara, Naruto, Itachi, Kisame, and Hidan," I yawned.

"What about everyone else?" Lucy put Oreo down and he meowed and stretched.

"They don't want to be involved in this," I started going over numbers in my head. If I just get him to help...then this will work out.

"Ah, let's go," Lucy started jogging towards the art store and I followed.

"Okay, remember, we're here to get-" I started, but Lucy placed a hand over my mouth and pointed towards a blonde dude that looked an awful lot like Deidara.....who was flirting with someone.

"The b******," Lucy sniffed and she stormed towards him.

"Wait! He won't know who you are!!" I whispered, but she just ignored me and stormed off towards him. He looked up at her and grinned flirtatiously.

"Hey, un. Did you fall from heaven, hmm? Because you look like an angel," Deidara flirted at Lucy. She opened her mouth to yell at him before she shut it and grinned evilly for a second before turning it into a flirty smile.

"Actually, no I didn't. I burrowed my way up from hell, but thank you! You're too cute to not have a girlfriend," Lucy giggled and Deidara smirked.

"Actually yeah I do, un. But she doesn't have to know that I date a bunch of girls behind her back, yeah," Deidara chuckled and Lucy grinned before slapping him so hard that he became unconscious. I widened my eyes and was about to comment, but Lucy sniffed and I saw little tear pools forming in her eyes so I decided to not say anything.

We went into the art store and got the supplies we needed before taking off towards the forest that was a few miles off from the end of Suna. When we got there it was really quite and Lucy looked annoyed.

"No one's even here!" Lucy hissed. Before she could say anything else I shoved her out of the way before she could get hit with a blue fireball. Tyler emerged from the trees and began to produce even more. I performed really fast hand signs and shielded Lucy with a crystal dome. Tyler stopped and looked at me before he shook his head.

"F***, why are you here?" Tyler groaned and I smiled.

"Hiya big bro! Umm.....I need your help," I admitted and he just stared at me.

"No. You're on your own for this," Tyler yawned and turned around to leave. I snapped my fingers and the crystal dome disappeared from surrounding Lucy and she glared at the back of Tyler's head.

"You coward! You won't even try?!" Lucy yelled and he glared at her before flipping her off and walking away. I hung my mouth open and Lucy was glaring at his back the whole time he left.

"Luc, let's just begin our plan okay?" I asked and she nodded.

"Hey Manga?" Luc turned to face me, an evil glint in her eyes.

"Yeah?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Can we add Deidara to the list of people to get revenge on?" Lucy begged and I nodded. She cheered and I went over the game plan again before grinning. I think it's about time that my genius is shown.

*Nighttime*

"What?" Kakuzu removed his strings from Lucy's waist and my throat. I landed on my knees and started coughing violently.

"We need your help," Lucy repeated.

"Why would I help two strangers?" Kakuzu replied coldly and I made my chakra signature evident and Kakuzu widened his eyes.

"S*** you idiot, I could have killed you, and then who would help me collect and count money?" Kakuzu hissed as he helped me up and I glared at him.

"I didn't think you would just randomly attack me!" I yelled at him.

"What? No one's concerned about me?!" Lucy yelled and I smiled at her.

"Are you okay Lucy?" I smiled and she smiled back.

"Yes, I'm peachy," Lucy grinned and Kakuzu rolled his eyes.

"What do you need me to do?" Kakuzu asked and I smiled sheepishly.

"It involves getting revenge on Hidan," I said and he smirked under his mask.

"What's the plan?"

*Hidan's room*

"Careful! You'll wake him up!" Lucy hissed when Kakuzu nearly dropped Hidan on his head. Kakuzu glared at Lucy which made her become quiet.

"What next?" Kakuzu looked at me and I took a paint brush out of my pocket.

"Hold him still for a second," I whispered and Kakuzu nodded as I began to paint a cross on Hidan's shoulder and an 'I Love Jesus' quote on his other arm.

"This is just going to come off anyways, what's the point?" Kakuzu looked bored and I hit him on the arm.

"This is good paint, it's permanent for at least a month," I retorted and Kakuzu nodded.

"Okay, next up is Itachi right?" Lucy asked and I nodded.

"Leave me out of this one," Kakuzu muttered and he went back to his room, completely forgetting Hidan. I kicked his body and he just groaned before shuffling away a little.

"Lovely," Lucy and I both hissed.

*Zetsu's garden*

"-And that's why we need your help," Lucy sighed and Zetsu's clone let go of her before disappearing.

"Ah. You're really Manga then aren't you?" Zetsu turned to look at me and I just nodded, the Zetsu clone had one hand over my throat. The clone disappeared and I clutched my throat and began to violently breath again.

"It's always the throat with you guys," I complained.

"I'll help," Zetsu simply nodded.

"Well that was quick," Lucy mumbled.

"He deserves it. He stepped on Gertrude," Zetsu mumbled and Lucy snickered.

"Who is Gertrude?" Lucy asked.

"My lilies. That are know history thanks to that b******," Zetsu grumbled.

"Okay," Lucy coughed and shifted on her feet nervously.

"Tobi will help too!!" Tobi leapt out of nowhere and I jumped two feet in the air.

"Holy crap!" I breathed out as Lucy laughed at me.

"Manga gets scared easily," Tobi twirled around and I glared at him.

"I don't think Manga thought it was funny, even though it was," Zetsu smirked and Tobi stopped spinning and looked at me.

"Manga should be happy. Tobi is helping you so you shouldn't be mad at Tobi," Tobi stood staring at me and I shifted nervously.

"Stop staring, it's weird," I mumbled.

"Okay! Listen up," Lucy began as she told them the plan.

*Itachi's room*

"Thanks Zetsu," I whispered as he opened the door. Zetsu nodded.

"Tobi is back with the supplies!" Tobi whispered loudly.

"Okay, thank you Tobi. Can you go put these beside his sink?" I asked as I handed him the weekly medicine container and dentures in a glass. Tobi nodded and went to the bathroom to go put them in there. Zetsu placed a walker by Itachi's bedside and Lucy popped her head out from the bathroom doorway.

"Okay, he's done," Lucy grinned and I saw nodded and looked at Zetsu.

"Can you carry him back in?" I asked and he nodded.

"Because we all know that you're too lazy to do it yourself. Be nice," Zetsu argued with himself. Zetsu came out carrying a now gray haired Itachi. I went over and painted his face to make it look like he had wrinkles. I nodded at my work and went over what was left to do.

"Okay, can you and Lucy go to Kisame's room Zetsu?" I asked and he nodded.

"Why can't I be teamed up with you?" Lucy complained.

"Because you know what to do and I doubt you will be able to not make Tobi yell every time he finds something interesting," I explained and she nodded.

"Oh, right," Lucy grinned.

"That's hurtful," Tobi sniffed

"I'm sorry Tobi, I didn't mean it," I promised and he looked happy again.

"Yay! Tobi is ready to help Manga!" Tobi cheered as he began to bounce everywhere and I looked over at Itachi, but he was still sleeping to my relief.

"Okay, okay, let's just split up already," Lucy mumbled and we all went to our assigned posts.

*Konan's room*

"Tobi is finished!" Tobi chirped beside me and I looked at the scene around me. I had to hand it to Tobi, he can be really useful when he needs to be.

"That's good Tobi," I nodded and he hung his head.

"Manga always talks to Tobi like he's a little kid. But I'm not," Tobi sniffed, his voice becoming deeper and more serious at the end.

"What?" I turned and looked at him.

"Nothing!" Tobi lied and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I'm not an idiot Tobi," I replied dryly. I hated it when people pretended that nothing was wrong.

"Neither is Tobi. But you pretend he is," Tobi sniffed.

"Sorry Tobi. I don't hate you if that's what you think," I yawned and looked at the time.

"Is Manga tired?" Tobi asked, bouncing around the room again like nothing happened.

"A little. But we're done here so we can finally meet up with the others," I grinned.

"Yay!" Tobi cheered and I laughed.

"Hey Tobi....you did a good job. We should prank together more often," I grinned and Tobi nodded vigorously.

"Pranking is fun! Tobi sees why Sam does it all the time!" Tobi agreed.

"Oh yeah, I should probably move Sam out of here when the others have an emotional breakdown," I remembered.

"Aren't you two having a war on each other?" Tobi looked confused.

"Eh. I'm over it. I'm too tired to be mad," I yawned.

*Sam's room*

"Took you long enough," Sam greeted me.

"Hey, where's Zetsu and Lucy?" I looked around only seeing Sam, Tobi, and I.

"Zetsu told me that he was heading back to the garden and I think Lucy's still mad at me," Sam sighed as she stretched.

"We got Konan, Kisame, Hidan, and I'm guessing that Lucy got Deidara," I informed Sam and she nodded.

"Tobi saw Lucy burning all of Deidara-senpai's things," Tobi added.

"Should I ask why?" Sam sighed and I shook my head.

"That's for another time. Kisame is locked in a room full of starving cats, Itachi looks like an old man, Hidan looks like he just got tattoos that support Jesus,  and Konan is currently surrounded in a room full of water that rises up to her bed," I grinned and Sam laughed.

"I have taught you well," Sam snickered and I nodded.

"Tobi will go with you guys to the secret base!" Tobi volunteered and I looked at Sam who shrugged.

"Okay Tobi. I think the best place to go is under your bed."
