Akatsuki - DFME: Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Akatsuki Dance Partay!

It was a long day for the Akatsuki organization. Quite honestly, there was nothing for anyone to do. They were all waiting on two of their comrades to return with hopefully good news on bringing one of the Jinchuuriki with them. Deidara sighed, obviously somehow bored out of his mind.
"I'm boooooored, un," he whined in a mumble.
"Then get up and do something, baka," Kisame replied.
"Do you WANT me to blow you up, puffer fish, un?!"
"SHARK. I'm a SHARK."
"Yeah, a terror shark, un!"
Kisame looked at the blond questioningly and just walked away. The young bomber MUST have been bored to say something that stupid and nonsensical.
"Yeah, I thought so," Deidara mumbled again, "un."
"What are you babbling about now, Deidara?" Sasori asked as he walked into the room.
"Kisame's being a terror puffer fish, un."
".....What?"
"Never mind, un."
"DEEEEEEIDARA!" called out a familiar voice, carrying his name with a sort of tune. Deidara immediately looked up. Sasori could have sworn for a moment, he saw his blue eyes sparkle with a sort of hopeful anticipation. "Deidara, Deidara, let's do something together!" Aina came skipping in with a grin.
"What kind of something, un?" he wondered aloud.
"Oh, I don't know~" she giggled. "Maybe a sort of partay?"
"Partay? You mean party, un."
"No, no. Par-TAY," she implied, putting emphasis on the last part of the word.
".....Well, what kind of par-TAY, un?"
"A dance partay!"
Deidara blinked. "Dance party?"
"Par-TAY," she reminded him.
"Right, un."
"Anyways, I think we should have a dance partay," she continued. "It would help make the day go by faster."
Deidara stared at her. "I don't dance, un."
"What?!" her eyes went wide with shock. "That's preposterous!"
"Not really, un."
"I think he has two left feet," Sasori stated.
"Do not!" Deidara frowned. "You of all people probably have two left feet, Danna! You're a puppet, un!"
Sasori glared a bit in return. "That's not for you to judge."
"It will be," Deidara grinned quite maliciously, "when we hit the dance floor, un."
"So we ARE having a dance partay then!?" Aina cheered. "BRING OUT THE TECHNO!!!!"
"UN!"
"I AM THE TERROR THAT LURKS IN YOUR BATHTUB!!!"
"GYAAAHH!!!!" screamed Deidara as he jumped away, only to find Kisame laughing his head off.
"Who's a terror shark? I'M THE TERROR SHARK! HA HA!"
"NOT FUNNY, PUFFER FISH! UN!"
"What's going on?" Emi said, opening the door and peering in. "It's so noisy..."
"Ah! Emi, perfect!" Aina grinned and ran over to her friend.
"Eh?"
"Come on! We're having a partay!"
"A party?"
"Par-TAY."
"Oh! What kind of par-TAY?"
"A dance partay!! Come on and join us!"
As she was being dragged by Aina, she could only let out a small gasp. "Um...ok."
Deidara and Sasori watched as the two girls danced. Aina made a point of seeing just how much she could flail her arms and legs while Emi kept herself fairly still, save for her hips swaying with the beat and small arm movements. The green-haired girl laughed uncontrollably as she moved about the room.
"Sasori, Dei-dei! Join us!" she yelled above the music.
Both men looked to each other, baffled and confused. Neither wanted to partake, but how much of a choice did they have?
Deidara was the first to move, coming to stand near Aina. "Ok, what do I do?"
"What do you mean, 'what do I do?' You move to the beat!"
"But how?!"
Aina gave out a loud sigh that could be heard over the blasting techno beat. "Ok, start with your hips. Move them from side to side to the beat!" She demonstrated what she wanted him to do.
Skeptical, Deidara attempted to do what she asked. It was a minute before he was able to get in sync with the music.
Aina smiled to him. "That's right! Now, move your arms with it. Try waving them from side to side, like this."
As the green-haired kunoichi continued to teach Deidara, Sasori watched the two intently, as if attempting to learn the simple moves. This caught Emi's eye and she smiled.
"Are you going to join us, Danna?" she asked over the music as she danced.
"I... um, I dunno...." he replied, still watching the two dance.
"Please, Danna?" her eyes twinkled.
"Well..."
"Please?"
After a moment of watching her eyes sparkle like fireworks, he finally sighed. "Alright."
He walked over next to Emi, still watching them dance, studying their moves...
And then he started.
He gently grasped her small hands in his own, guiding her across the 'dance floor.' His foot work was flawless, managing to avoid her feet even with her confused stumbling. Quite quickly, he realized how much he actually liked doing this. A smile grew on his face as he led the girl, twirling her, flipping her, doing all sorts of crazy dance moves. Oddly enough, he came to the conclusion that dancing was actually very similar to puppeteering. It was all in his hands and what he wanted Emi to do.
Despite all of Emi's stumbling, she soon enough started to catch on, his hands being her guide as to what was coming next. A grin on her face appeared as she started to laugh with joy. This only made Sasori grin and spin her into his arms.
"And now for a dip!" he said, doing just as he stated.
Emi let out a gasp as she leaned backwards against the puppeteer's arm. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking she might fall to the ground, but Sasori proved he could hold her up.
"Whoa!!!" Emi's eyes went wide with surprised wonder. She couldn't help but laugh more. This guy was totally gifted with mad skittlez of amazingness!
"Whoa!!! He can do that?!" Aina grinned with excitement.
"He can dance, un?!"
Sasori helped Emi back onto her feet. "I'm ok, I suppose," he said, blushing slightly.
"Only ok?! Sasori, that was amazing!!" Aina shouted to him. "I mean, the timing with the music was flawless, and the moves looked so complicated. And how you ended it right on the music? Perfect!"
"Sasori," Emi's quiet voice chimed in. "I thought you did really well. Domo arigatou gozaimasu!"
Sasori's smile grew. "Douitashimashite."
"Would you," she started, looking at her feet. "Would you dance with me some more?"
His eyes softened. "As you wish."
A blush was quick to appear on Emi's face. Unfortunately, she didn't have time to notice as the puppeteer took her by the hand and led her into another dance.
"Man," Deidara stood there, feeling a bit stupid. "He's something else... un..."
"D'aww, don't feel bad!" Aina smiled. "Not everyone has a penchant for dancing! Besides, you'll get used to it and learn, if that's what you want to do!"
"Un..."
"Dude, I can't believe Sasori can dance like that..." Kisame watched in awe.
"Who's dancing?" the raven-haired Itachi asked as he walked into the room and saw the others dancing to techno. "....Whoa."
"Yeah. Whoa."
"Let's show him, Aina!" Deidara suddenly shouted in anticipation. "Let's show him we're better, un!"
"Alright!"
The green-haired girl started dancing again, flailing her limbs, only to have one of her wrists caught by the blond shinobi.
"Ah-ah," he said, indicating not to dance like that. "We're dancing together, un."
"Oh!"
Deidara then took her hands, also leading her out to the 'dance floor,' a few feet away from Sasori and Emi. He watched them a bit, particularly Sasori, and started to unsteadily copy him for a bit, before trying to go off and do his own dance moves with his partner.
His moves were unsteady as he attempted to guide her around. Aina found herself stumbling from not being able to read his movements.
"Have you ever danced before?" she asked him.
The blond gave her a sheepish smile. "Heh heh, no, never got the chance."
"In that case," she dragged him around. "I get to lead!"
"Don't the guys lead?"
"Usually, but since you have no idea what you're doing, and I do, I'll lead!"
Aina continued to guide him around, Deidara slowly but surely began to be able to read her movements.
"Have you danced before, un?" the blond asked her.
"I took some ballet classes back in Amegakure, but this isn't too much harder."
Though not quite as spectacular as Emi and Sasori, the two teenagers were able to dance in unison...for the most part. The occasional foot-stepping took place, usually by Deidara. Smiles began to grow on their faces as they became more confident.
Sasori's brown eyes glanced over at the competition. "So, they think they can be better?" He grinned to Emi.
"They are good, even though Aina's leading."
"It's all her, though. Deidara has no idea what he's doing... baka."
Emi giggled. "It's not as easy as you think to follow. I think he's doing a very good job."
"If it helps him sleep at night, I'll let him believe he's actually dancing."
Itachi and Kisame watched in awe at the techno-ballroom dance partay. Neither one of them knew what to do.
"You know," Kisame started. "It's probably been a good ten years since I've danced."
"You've danced at all? I'm surprised," Itachi looked at him questioningly.
"Well, I've done lots of stuff back in the day no one knows about."
"Full of surprises, as per usual."
"Mayhaps I could demonstrate?" He extended a blue hand to his partner.
"Oh, Kisame, I thought you'd never ask!" Itachi jokingly mocked a stereotypical young girl, letting Kisame lead him out to the 'dance floor.'
After a while of pretty much ballroom dancing to techno, a song that two certain girls loved to dance to came on as two other Akatsuki members gradually found their way into the partay room.
Aina and Emi gasped as soon as they heard the guitar strum. "BACCHIKOOOOOOIIII!!!!!"
"WHACHYA!!!" Hidan shouted with the music right after them as the three started to dance.
"Huh?!" Sasori and Deidara's eyebrows arched with great question.
"I'm so confused... un..."
"You haven't heard of Bacchikoi?" Itachi asked. "The girls dance to it all the time."
"Uh..." Sasori thought over, trying to remember any memories of this dance and song. "Since when?"
"Ha! Just watch!" Kisame grinned, folding his arms and watching the now group of four, as Tobi had joined in. The other two turned their eyes to the group as well as the music and official dancing started.
The girls--and two men--started by letting their arms swing diagonally as they let their feet lead them and sway side-to-side. They did this for a good part of the song until the singer's pitch and notes changed; then they gently leaped from side-to-side and shimmied down half-way repeatedly.
"Wh-what kind of dance is that, un?" Deidara asked himself, a blush on his face. 'Aina looks too cute doing that... un!'
"Saa waratte, funbatte, Let's do it do it do it do it!!!" they all yelled in unison as they leaned in closer together. "Bacchikoi, bacchikoi babe!" They crashed their fist against palms, then punched outwards twice, finally ending with a couple waves of the arms.
Sasori, Deidara, Kisame and Itachi watched as they continued to dance. Kakuzu entered the family room, wondering what could be keeping them up until 3 in the morning with ridiculously loud music. He recognised the song immediatly.
"Oh, goodness... not this again..."
Kisame looked back at the miser. "Yes, this again."
"It's like this is a part of Hidan's religion, with how often he dances to it..."
"Nananananananana, Nanananananananananana!!! BACCHIKOI!!!!!" The group ended by jumping in the air and doing the Bacchikoi poses. A few minutes passed, almost awkwardly, only to have the group start laughing.
"That was so much fun!!!" Emi squealed.
"It's been a while since we've danced to this!" Aina agreed.
"Tobi had FUN!"
Hidan smiled widely. "I missed that song! We need to do it more often!"
"No," the masked miser said quite bluntly.
"Oh, but 'Kuzu...!"
"No. You do it so much I'm starting to think it's one of your rituals."
"But it IS, 'Kuzu!!!" Hidan cried innocently. "Jashin-sama LOVES it!!!!!"
".....Sure, he does..."
"He DOES!"
"Alright, alright, that's enough," Itachi said with a grin. "Settle down now."
Emi giggled. "I really love that dance!"
Sasori looked at her. An inane part of his mind was wondering if he learned it, would it cause Emi to like it more? Or... maybe him even more?
'What in the world am I thinking?' He shook his head to himself. 'What AM I thinking? For crying out loud, she's nineteen years younger than me...!'
"Hm," Deidara smiled. "That song was actually catchy, un. Do you think you could teach the dance to me sometime, Aina?"
"Sure! I'd love to!" she chirped. "You'll really like it!"
"I already like it."
"OOOOOOOOOO~~~~!!!!" Tobi and Kisame chimed, both nudging Deidara's arms on opposite sides.
"D-damare!!!!" Deidara shouted. "Un!!!"
Itachi laughed. "Well, it's late. We should all get some sleep."
"D'awww," Aina pouted a bit. "I suppose you're right..."
Emi yawned. "I am a bit tired..."
"I'll take you to your room," Sasori said quickly.
"You know," Kisame said thoughtfully, "Sasori, you were quite quick to volunteer to do such a thing... Come to think of it, you ALWAYS take her to either hers or your room... I hope you're not doing anything to her!"
"What?!" Sasori looked at him, taken aback and red-faced.
"If you tried, Sasori..." Itachi said, his sharingan eyes seeming to glow viciously. "I will, without hesitation, use Tsukuyomi on you. Mark my words..."
"Your words have been marked," the red-head responded faster than lightning. "I'm going to bed now, goodnight!" He quickly made his way to the door, leaving everyone to stare in confusion.
"Well," Hidan broke the silence. "I think that was the most hilarious response I've seen out of 'Puppet Boy' yet!" He chucked to himself.
Deidara couldn't help but let a small laugh escape himself. "Danna's in denial."
Aina rolled her eyes. "He's not the only one. Well, goodnight everyone. See you in the morning."
As she left, Deidara reached out for her. "Aina, what do you mean, un?!"
"You're either in denial, or just WAY too dense. Well, 'night!" Kisame said as he headed for the exit, shortly followed by Itachi, who left without a word.
Kakuzu was next to leave. "I'm going back to bed. No more loud music."
"But 'Kuzu...!"
"NO! Now, go to bed, Hidan!"
Hidan tilted his head down, pouting like a four-year-old. "Yes, 'Kuzu..."
Emi reached up to tap his shoulder. "It's ok, Hidan. We can always do Bacchikoi tomorrow!"
The priest's purple eyes lit up. "Yeah, of course! Night Emi."
"Goodnight, Hidan!" She waved to him as he left, leaving just her, Tobi and Deidara in the room.
Deidara let out a massive yawn. "Bed time!"
Emi nodded, following the blond out of the room.
"Goodnight, Sempai!"
"'Night, Tobi."
The orange-masked ninja stood in the center of the empty living room. Looking both directions to ensure the room was empty, he began to sing.
"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob Squarepants!"
"TOBI!!!" a few voices shouted from outside the room.
"Tobi is sorry!" he shouted back. "Tobi is a good boy!"
