(This is after the takeover of the Death)

Deidara had finally got the infotmation he was waiting for. They had the Death at their mercy and soon all the other Vallies would be under their control as well. Walking into the main room he went to speak with all the members of the Akatsuki. They would be starting Phase 1 of the Takeover immediatly. That meant finding out who would be stationed over in the Death Valley as well as seeing who woul be part of the Magma takeover. The Akatsuki were finally making their move and it'd be one the Shinobi would never forget.

Deita sat on the couch in the main room with a can of pop in his hand. He knew that the akatsuki were supposed to be having a meeting. He'd finally started getting comfy after his first mission. Things had gone well. He wondered if all the akatsuki got such a rough first mission though. Deita looked at Deidara as he came in with a small smile. "Hello sempai," he said.

Jaymaru walked into the room. She wondered what was going on now since they were having a group meeting. Maybe some new assignments or some plot to take over. Whatever it was she was eager. She hadn't done much yet. Sitting down she gave a small greeting and then fell silent waiting for the others to show.

Talcer walked into the room and casually took a seat on one of the couches. He didn't know what this meeting was about, but he'd heard that the Akatsuki had recently had a victory in the Death Valley. He wished he'd known about it before. He said nothing and sat silently. He wondered if the meeting was about their recent victory. Talcer was one of the newer akatsuki, and he didn't know much about what happened here, but he knew enough to know that this was probably about an attempt at a takeover.

Krissy walked into the room, giving a not-so-nice look towards Deita and Talcer. They were the two newest members, and she had yet to trust them. She didn't know what they were about, all she knew was that Deita had been recruited by Deidara for a reason she was yet to figure out. Krissy didn't sit on the couches with the others, but instead stood against one of the walls and waited for an announcement that was sure to be good news for the akatsuki. She knew for the most part what'd happened at the Death Valley. Since they already had the Death in their clutches, that meant the next move would be to go for whichever valley was weakest right now.

Zeo walked into the Main Room and took a quick intake of who all was there. Deidara, Deita, Talcer, Krissy, and Jutsumaster. So it looked like most of the Akatsuki had yet to show. Zeo took a seat and didn't say a word. Some of the strong Akatsuki were in the room and he felt very unimportant while around them. He wasn't strong at all. He was only here because he had nowhere else to go. He wondered if people thought that he was holding the Akatsuki back. Or if he didn't derserve to be a real Akatsuki at all.

Bat walked in several minutes after Daya. He could care less who was in the room at the time. Whoever it was he'd bring no mercy to them. He then saw Talcer. That guy was one of the people Bat didn't like in the Akatsuki. He was annoying. Bat walked to the fireplace and sat down infront of it and faced Deidara and the others. Yet another meeting. Who knew what it was about this time.

Deidara looked at Deita as he came in. "Hello to you to," he said. It was time he started to train the kid. He'd been putting it off for a while. Mostly because he'd been busy with the Death Valley and planning his next move. As the others gathered he waited. If anyone was late they'd be getting a lesson. He hadn't given one out in a while.

Saya bounced into the room as if it was all good. She didn't care who was in there, she was excited. Plopping down on a couch she gave a cheesy grin. "So what's going on Leader?" She asked. "Are we planning another take over?" She asked. "I have to say the one on the Death was really stylish. Three Akatsuki took down an entire village. We are good." She gave a small chuckle. "Or really Evil." Her ears gave a small twitch and she pulled her legs up on the couch and tucked them behind her.

Kadaj entered just as Saya started to speak. He hid his grin and sat on the couch. She was asking for it. Questioning Deidara and speaking so freely as if they didn't have laws that bound them. He sighed quietly and leaned his hand against his head. Just what was their fierce leader planning this time. Kadaj was guessing he was feeling cocky since the take over of the Death. But he was smart enough to keep that to himself. He'd had enough beatings from Deidara. He wouldn't provoke another.

Deidara gave digusted glare at Saya as she started speaking. She'd regret speaking out of turn, but right now he had other things to do. "Listen up, I'm not waiting for the others. I'll give them their orders later." He looked to the entrance of the Main Room and then back to the others. "As you know we've taken over the Death. As well as lost three members. Xantrex who is still on the run. Eve who was kicked out. And Suri who left for the Crested." Deidara eyes narrowed. "My main purpose of this meeting is to give you all your new task. I'll need four ninja stationed in the Death to make sure things stay in order. The four who will be assigned to this task are Itachi as leader, Pheonix, Saya, and Krissy." Deidara knew Pheonix wasn't present but he'd inform him later.

"Next is the new plans for the take over. Both the Magma and Storm are at its weakest. The Storm is trying to get itself together, but i want to wait for them. They have a group known as the Infamous Five guarding them. Bat and Kadaj will head over there and blend in. Keep tabs on the group. Report to me with anythin you learn. I also want tabs on what happens in the village." Most of the Akatsuki would be leaving. Deidara would have to make sure he had some left to watch the Hideout. "The Magma is going to war with a group of snake ninja. After the war is over we'll start the takeover. While they are at their weakest. Itachi, Jaymaru, Talcer, and Halo will handle the takeover. Itachi will lead." Deidara had planned the Magma group carefully. He wanted to make sure Halo was capable of being an Akatsuki and he wanted to see just what Talcer was capable of. As for Jaymaru he had to make sure she'd gotten over her life in the Vallies. Itachi would keep them all in order. "I haven't spoken of the Stealth and Snow because they're going to war. We'll take over the village that falls first. " He grinned. "And last is the Crested. A new village that has joined the Vallies. We'll need to gather information on them. Halo and Jaymaru will take care of that." He said. "That leaves me, Talcer, Zoey, Zeo, Deita, and Daya left to guard the Hideout. For the ones who have their assignments get to it. Everyone else, you'll get assignments later. Any questions?"

(assignments posted in simpler terms in the assignment board)

Daya came into the room right before Deidara started to give off his orders. He was kind of pissed that he didn't get an assignment. He gave a sigh and raised his hand. "Yeah, I got a question. Why am I stuck at the hideout instead of getting an assignment? I'm sick of sitting around doing nothing. Atleast assign me to the takeover or send me to the rogue forest." He then dropped his arm and waited for Deidara to speak.

Jaymaru was excited to get her first mission. On top of that Deidara was letting her participate in a take over. She gave a smile and sat back in her chair. She just barely looked at Daya when asked why he couldn't go out too. Didn't he just finish with a big assignment. Why was he so eager to go out again. Then again she was eager too. She felt like such a kid. Thoughs he couldn't help but smile at the thought.

Kadaj wasn't up for an assignmenmt. Why couldn't him and Daya switch spots. "Hey Deidara, do you mean me and Bat are like going over there and staying?" He asked. "Or are we just going to get some information and come back," he asked. He would rather have been assigned to the Death so he could see Sabin, but Deidara was no idiot. He had a plan for everything.

Bat looked at Kadaj. "What do you think you half-wit." He said sarcastically. "We're just going there to take a day off then we're going to come back and tell him how great it was in the Storm." Bat eyes were dark with irritation. Humans weren't the most intellegent creatures at all. "Of course we'll be staying. You don't just learn their secrets in a day." Bat sighed and looked at Deidara. He had no fear of the Akatsuki leader, though he'd never tempted him either.
______________________

Zeo being his usual self stayed quiet as Deidara and the others spoke. He wasn't in the least upset about being left to watch over the Hideout. That just gave him more time to himself. He never really fit in with the crowd, so he kept to himself. Looking at Bat as he belitted Kadaj he gave a quick glance to Deidara then looked at Kadaj to see how he'd react.

Deidara looked at Daya. He sure had alot to complain about considering he'd come in late. "Because you've done enough, take a break. I don't need you going on a rampage ever five seconds." He said. He then looked at Kadaj and went to answer him when Bat cut in. "Nice way to put it Bat," he said. "Anyway, yes, you'll be staying there. I'll contact you when you're allowed to come back. Keep me posted. That goes for you as well Jaymaru." Deidara was being considerably calm about this. "Any more questions?"

(thank you Deidara)

Pheonix had come in late, but he'd been out in the Open at the time the meeting had been called and hadn't anticipated that there'd be one. So upon walking in the door and hearing people talk his heart dropped for fear that he'd receive punishment for his tardiness. Carefully he walked in stood against the back wall instead of finding him a seat amongst his fellow Akatsuki. Though Deidara had asked if there were anymore questions he'd rather be not noticed by the leader. He'd ask someone he knew well in the Akatsuki to fill him in.

Deita nodded as Deidara said that he'd be left to help guard the hideout. So he wouldn't get another mission, big deal. Maybe since all they had to do was guard the hideout Deita's training could start. Even if he was still wiped from the attack on the Death, he was excited for his training.

Itachi listened from outside of the room. So he'd be in charge of watching over the Death with Pheonix, Saya, and Krissy. Then he'd be leading the takeover of the Magma. It looked as if Deidara was intentionally keeping him away from the hideout. Itachi closed his eyes for a moment. What are you planning Deidara? When he opened his eyes they were in sharingan. You won't be able to keep me in the dark forever. He then moved away from the wall and headed down the hall to his room. He'd have to prepare for the trip ahead of them.

Zeo gave a few seconds hesitation before he spoke. "So we're on standby, does that mean that we're aloud to leave the Hideout occasionally," he asked. He wanted to leave and get some fresh air. Maybe take a visit to the Lake. "Or will we be confined here until told otherwise," he asked. Zeo looked very fragile sitting there in the group. He had a mild fear of his companions and it was clearly visable.

(np Pheonix)

Deidara looked over his shoulder when he heard movement, but it wasn't Pheonix that had caught his attention, it was someone else. Deidara stayed looking over his shoulder for a moment then turned to answer Zeo's questions, "While on standby you are free to move about, but don't get to comfty with leaving. You'll be sent out soon. Daya has a point on the Rogue Forest." I'd personally like to go there myself, but I have other buisness to attend to."

Daya just huffed when Deidara said he didn't need him rampaging every five seconds. "Well I though that's what the Akatsuki did," he said with no intention to show respect. "I want action, I don't need a break." He said. "Come on Deidara, send me off somewhere, anywhere." He then sat back in the chair and gave a deep sigh. "Just don't make me stay in this place. I can't be confined."

Deidara looked at Daya. "Will you shut up," he said. "You're becoming a nusiance. You will get your chance, but until then make yourself useful around here," he said. Deidara was sick of Daya and his bitching. "Now, if there isn't anymore questions then you're all free to go." He said. He then walked off, he had to go speak with the wannabes before the day was over with.
