Okay, why did I make this fic? One reason is because I got into this pairing, and another is that I can't find any HidanKonan! DX so, I decided to make up my own, to try and encourage people to write HidanKonan 8D

Even though I know many people are gunna kill me for not working on my other fanfics, enjoy this one. I'm still thinking up more to it, but I have most of it I think ;D

Naruto, Akatsuki, and characters in fic don't belong to me. And, if I did own them…Sasuke wouldn't be around very long XD

(I know it starts out humourous, but it's kinda just the way I write, so I'm sorry)

As the World Falls Down

Chapter 1

"Leader-san, please, listen to what I'm saying." A masked man said to a figure behind a large wooden desk. On the desk were many papers, pens, forms, and wanted posters, along with several maps with marks and highlights throughout them.

The figure sitting at the desk sighed.

"Kakuzu…no matter how much you request for me to accept your deal, I'm not going to." A deep voice replied. You could hear the depression in the figure's voice.

The figure behind the desk was a man, about the age of thirty. He had red spiky hair, and on his forehead he wore a forehead protector, with four lines to represent a village, but a line was gashed in from side to side in the middle. He wore a black coat that went down to his ankles, with a big neckband on it, and it had red clouds decorated on it.

His eyes were hypnotizing, simply looking at them filled some people with curiosity and dread. They were grey, and resembled ripples in water. On the sides of his nose he had six piercings, and above his chin he had two fang-like piercings.

He looked strong and wise, and kept a serious face on no matter what. But at the moment, his face was a mix of serious, annoyance, and slight anger.

"No, you're not listening." The masked man, Kakuzu, replied somewhat angry. "Just think about it; I'm Akatsuki's Treasurer, and you're Akatsuki's Leader. You say what we do, when we do it; you control every action Akatsuki makes!"

Leader sighed again. "Yet I can't seem to make you silence yourself."

"And that includes financial actions too." The man continued, obviously not caring as to what his superior had just said.

"So, if you and I were partnered together, I could tell you what to do financial-wise, and you can still keep control over us." Kakuzu explained, for the seventeenth time. "What do you think?"

The Akatsuki Leader slowly turned his eyes to Kakuzu. His annoyance clearly shown through them, despite his serious face.

"Like I've said each and every time before," he said calmly. "No."

Kakuzu groaned and rolled his eyes. He placed both hands on the front of the desk.

"Leader, obviously you do not see the logic to this plan-"

"And obviously you do not take no as an answer." He said, intensifying his glare.

The masked man ignored it.

"And I'm telling you right now, again, that this is best for Akastuki!" He removed his hands from the desk, and paced left to right, all the while looking at his Leader.

"Right now, you could, and most likely are, paying too much for prices for common things, like food and clothing. If I was there at your side, I could tell you what to buy, since I do know all the right pricings for such things, and save you more money for later!"

"For you to later steal from under my nose, if that's your plan." The red haired man growled.

"Of course I would never do that." Kakuzu said, shaking his head. "I just simply want a better financial plan for Akatsuki, that's it."

"And my answer stays the same. N. O. NO." Leader said, putting his elbows onto the table, holding his chin on his folded hands, looking at his greedy, annoying…'employee'.

"I suggest you leave now Kakuzu, before you really get me irritated." He said after, picking a random paper and pen and started to read through it, scribbling things here and there.

Kakuzu looked blankly at his leader as he stood in front of him, but you could tell that he was very annoyed and angry…no…pissed off.

He sighed. Then, his eyes widened slightly and he smirked.

"Very well." he said, starting to turn around and walk to the door. "Just don't be surprised when Akastuki goes bankrupt."

Leader twitched and his pen swerved on the paper. He took his eyes from the paper to the departureing man.

"What was that last comment, Kakuzu?" he asked, loud and stern.

The leaving man stopped. He smirked even more to himself.

"I said; don't be surprised when Akastuki goes bankrupt." He repeated, narrowing his eyes at his Leader as he turned.

The Akatsuki Leader sighed, and looked up fully from the paperwork to Kakuzu. "And how exactly will that happen?" he asked, curiously but calmly.

Kakuzu walked closer to the man behind the desk.

"Simple," he began. "I'm Akastuki's Treasurer, so I know where every cent of the money we have is kept, and the traps and codes to get to them. All I have to do is unlock all of those, take the money and go, leaving Akatsuki completely bankrupt.

"With all of the money gone, you, Leader-san, won't be able to pay Akatsuki Members anything, and they'll see this as a chance to flee. With no money at your hand, you won't be able to pay for subordinates or other ex-nin to fetch them back. You'll lose your Akatsuki, and your…dream, for the future." The man finished with an evil grin, which could be seen slightly, even from behind the mask.

Leader stared at the man before him. How, how he hated him, especially right now.

The Akatsuki Leader grinned slightly. "You always have a back-up plan, don't you Kakuzu?" he asked. He folded his hands together and rested his chin on them again.

Kakuzu smirked. "Always. I always see that I have things my way."

Leader crossed his arms on his chest and leaned back in his chair. "I have a feeling there's another reason you want me to be your partner."

"And what do you think it is?"

"Simple," he said. "You want to get away from your current partner; Hidan."

Kakuzu rolled his eyes. "You paired me up with him, so I wouldn't kill any more of my partners." He growled.

"Which you haven't and won't kill him, so it all works out." Leader stated, a smirk on his face. He actually had fun sometimes annoying the hell out of his members.

"Look," Kakuzu said, hands on the desk once more. "I hate him, he hates me; simple as that. I've been with him for God knows how long, and I'm sick of it! And this deal works perfectly, because I get to monitor Akatsuki's financial things, and I get the hell away from him."

"So you're really offering this deal to me for yourself." The red-haired man said nodding a bit.

"Yes, and you have to accept, or you'll face the consequences." Kakuzu glared at his Leader.

Leader was quiet for a moment. He shut his eyes, thinking of all the possibilities.

If he accepted, that meant that his current partner, Konan, the only woman in the organization, would be partnered with Hidan, a religious freak who complained about anything and had a mouth forty-five times worse than any sailor. He didn't like the sound of that, or the thoughts of what could happen to the innocent woman, who was also his life-long friend. Also, he wasn't sure if Hidan knew anything about how to talk to or treat a woman.

On the other hand, if he didn't accept, his organization would go bankrupt, and everything that Kakuzu relied on to happen most likely would. Then, the great and fearless and powerful Akatsuki Leader would be screwed. Also, he wouldn't be able to help Konan or himself.

Finally, after a long while, Leader sighed. He slowly opened his eyes to Kakuzu.

"I'll make this offer with yours." He said. "I'll let you and I become partners, and Hidan and Konan, but only for a month. After that, we'll either see how the partnerships go, or how much Akatsuki has…'saved'."

Kakuzu grinned. "I accept, and I congratulate you for seeing the logic to my plan Leader-san."

The Akastuki Leader nodded, holding in the anger he had.

"Go fetch Konan and Hidan." He ordered.

He went back to the paper on his desk after. Kakuzu, hearing no further orders, nodded, still grinning to himself. Then he went to go bring the others.

Next chap will have Hidan and Konan in it. This just explains why things happen. I don't like fanfics that don';t explain why or how things happen T.T I'm almost doen the next one, so hopefully I'll get it done soon! ;D
