Hey everyone! Thanx so much for reading! I hope you enjoy the yard sale!
I don't own Naruto, it's characters of anything related to it.
Some Background…
Every year for the past 3 years Akatsuki has a yard sale on behalf of 'the leader'; he always let's them use his yard when he and his wife leave for the day to go shopping for patio furniture. Today is the day of the yard sale; however no one is ever very organized when it comes to running the yard sale successfully….
"Deidara, how long can it possibly take to put that pony tail on top of your head!" Itachi yelled at him, the other six of them were ready to leave for 'the leaders' house.
"I'm coming! I'm looking for my cologne, yeah!" he yelled from his and Itachi's room.
"You don't need cologne for a yard sale!" Zetsu yelled back. Finally, Deidara appeared smelling wonderfully. 24 minutes later they arrived at 'the leader's' house. The next step was to put the yard sale sign in the yard and pull all of the crap out of 'the leader's' garage. Sasori opened up the garage door only to see tables piled high full of crap, some of it was theirs that they had brought over the previous day, and some of it belonged to 'the leader'. It was agreed that if the seven of them would run the yard sale they could keep all the money. So, Kisame and Zetsu grabbed one table and hefted it slightly off the ground. It was really heavy and so they slowly moved it out to the driveway. Sasori grabbed some lawnmowers, Hidan and Kakuzu gathered several plastic crates of toys (yes, the leader had not one but 2 children, Akatsuki had only recently learned that). Deidara and Itachi were responsible for the boxes and hanging clothes strung out across the back of the garage.
"Why are you selling this shirt, Itachi, yeah? You liked this shirt, yeah." Deidara asked.
"It's stained on the inside…I don't know what it is." Itachi answered.
"Kakuzu, we have never owned a Monopoly board, seriously! God!" Hidan was already arguing with Kakuzu over whether or not they had ever played Monopoly
"You think we will beat last year's sale record?" Sasori asked Kisame setting the pink RAZR in a convenient location in the event that 'the leader' called.
"I hope so, Deidara lost 10 pounds between last year and this year so he has some nice stuff he's selling. I'm hoping that will bring in some bucks." Kisame said
"He didn't lose 10 pounds…he just got leaner whenhe and Itachi started running 3 miles 4 days a week and doing like 400 crunches and push ups combined!" Zetsu insisted. Zetsu was moving a box of plush toys when he looked down…something caught his attention.
"Plushie? Tobi? Tobi plushie?" he said to himself…Zetzu stared at the box for the next 10 minutes.
Hidan, go put the sign up in the yard." Itachi instructed him. Hidan took the sign to the edge of the yard, he read it:
YARD SALE TODAY! KICK ASS PRICES! LOTS OF COOL CRAP! DESIGNER CLOTHES, TOYS, OFFICE PRODUCTS, LAWN CARE ITEMS, COOL CRAP WITH AKATSUKI WRITTEN ON IT, DVDS, BOOKS, A LATTE MACHINE AND MORE!
Hidan wondered who made the sign it seemed a bit wordy…but he told himself not to actually ask who made it. He jammed the sign into the yard and returned to the driveway were everything was setting out.
"What's wrong with the stereo, really?" Hidan asked.
"We think Sasori accidentally poured beer into the speakers one night when we were drunk. But we won't tell the consumers that…besides, we're only asking $4.00 for it." Kisame said. Hidan thought that was a good idea. Zetsu had now picked up the Tobi plushie and was cradling it in his arms; he was still looming in the garage fascinated by the plushie.
"Oh my god! Here comes our first customer, yeah!" Deidara was thrilled. "Remember, no high pressure, yeah!" Deidara said as an older woman parked her car in front of 'the leader's' house. She was barely out of the car when…
"Hi welcome to our yard sale, yeah!" Deidara was apparently the self appointed hospitality coordinator. Sasori and Itachi were checking prices on items, making certain everything was marked. Hidan and Kakuzu watched the woman carefully; they would probably flip if she didn't buy something. Zetsu was still…in another universe.
"Oh, well aren't you a sweet boy." It was just the thing an older woman would say. Itachi noticed this and his twisted mind began…well...twisting. If Deidara would his blonde charm…perhaps it would generate more sales. Itachi walked up to him, grabbing him and pulling him aside.
"You keep talking to people like that, they buy our crap!" Itachi whispered.
"Itachi! I was sincerely welcoming her, yeah!" Deidara said.
"Yeah, yeah, okay, I don't' care…just keep doing it." Itachi insisted, patting him on the back and leaving to sort through more prices. The woman started going through some of 'the leader's' wife's clothes….they had her right where they wanted her…
