Author note: I'm actually using my sister account to post since I can't be bothered to make an account(I'm the younger one), there will be a lot of OOC (This fanfiction is my first fic & it contains all character from Akatsuki. Including Pein's bodies. Flames are acceptable but not to harsh, I'm not completely fire proof. In this story Deidara and Zein [first animal path] are 14 years old and Pein and Konan are married. Ok, enough of this, let's start the story!)

Chapter 1:

In Japan, a company is popular for their songs; Akatsuki. The singers in that company are nicknamed: AkatsukiLoid. They are famous for their song, especially their singer. Akatsuki's song is all over the world.

At Akatsuki

"No brat, this song is supposed to be a fast song. And you're dragging the lyrics." The red head scolded

"It's not my fault that I can't sing it fast." Deidara muttered

"Then start practicing, the company doesn't pay you to slack."

"If it's that easy, then you sing it!"

Both Sasori and Deidara started arguing, then, Pein came into the recording room. He sighed, they always fought when recording.

"Both of you stop it!" The orange haired man shouted. This captures both of their attention. Upon see their boss, they bow and apologizes to him. Another sigh.

"How's the song coming along?"

"It's still in progress, because Deidara still can't get the speed right."

"Hey! You told me last minute and now your pinning the blame on me!" Deidara yelled. The red head just kept silence, this angers Deidara.

"It don't matter who fault it is, we have a deadline for this song. So Deidara, do your best for this." Deidara just nodded in silence show he understands. Deidara went into the recording room followed be Sasori. Pein sighed, 'Can't they give me break from all this yelling?' Just then, Konan walks in

"What's wrong?"

"Another one of Deidara and Sasori argument. I need a break…"

"By the way, Itachi said he would arrive late today."

"I see. Tell him that the new lyrics must be completed and hand it to me by tomorrow."

"Right away." Konan turn and leave the room.

"…"

Shibuya

The streets are buzzing with people and vehicle, it was around 10 in the morning and everyone is going to work. Itachi stroll along the road side on his way to visit someone. On his back, he carries guitar case. 'He should be at home around this time…' he thought to himself. Before he knew it, he reached his destination. It was a two floor large house with and several apartments, the building looks old but it still in good condition. He walks up the stair to the second floor door at the very end. Itachi let's out a breath and knocks the door. No sound or voice are heard from inside, when Itachi decide to knock again, the door opens.

"Hey Itachi! You haven't visit in a while; I'm starting to think you forgot about me!" A boy with long orange ponytail and purple eye say with joy in his voice.

"Sorry Zein, I've been busy lately."

"That's okay. Anyway, come on in." Zein stood aside for Itachi to enter. Itachi entered and walk into the living room. The room is filling with music sheets, instruments and cup ramen, the place was in a mess.

"…"

"I know, the place is in a mess, but I've busy lately too." There was silence between them and Zein doesn't like it one bit.

"…Fine, I'll do it later."

"Good." Itachi make his way to the couch and put down the guitar at the side. Zein jump onto the couch opposite of Itachi.

"So, Zein, how are you doing?"

"Fine, it's been pretty boring lately. Nothing much to do…"

"I see…" Both have all most nothing to say since everyday was the same to them. Something came into Itachi's mind, and he picked up the guitar case to his lap.

"A guitar case? You know how to play a guitar?"

"No, it's not for me to play."

"Then who is it for?"

"For the one in front of me." There was silence; Zein slowly process the sentence in his mind.

"… Oh, right, it's for me."

"Slow to catch up, usual."

"You could have just told me…" Itachi stretch his arms out and places it on Zein's arm. Zein examines the guitar case, the guitar case is rectangle in shape, and this excites Zein. He opens the case, and his face light up.

"Wow! A guitar with keyboards!" Zein exclaimed.

"That's a Keytar, Zein. It allows players a greater range of movement compared to conventional keyboards."

"Thanks Itachi! I love it!" Zein strap it around his neck and tried he keys, he played all sorts of music with the Keytar. Itachi smiled to himself, seeing Zein smiling is relaxing. Itachi's phone suddenly starts buzzing, he took out his phone and a message was send to his phone. "..." Itachi slip the phone back into his pocket and takes out a sheet of paper. Zein is about to play the next note, but the rusting of paper caught his attention.

"Itachi, what's that?"

"Hm, the new song I'm writing."

"Really? Can I look?" Itachi handed Zein the stacks of paper. Zein read the lyrics and slowly examines the speed of the music.

"…"

"I'm stuck with this new song, I can't seem to just the song right."

"…" Zein lifts his head to look at Itachi. "Did you try to do it in a duet version?"

"Duet?"

"That's right. It just occurred to me that this song needed two person to sing it so it will sound better."

"…" Itachi was in shock, after years with him, he never knew Zein could read it. But Zein was right; he took back the paper and read it again. He didn't try a duet version of the song.

"… Zein."

"Yes?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Hm? …Sure."

"I need to sing this song for me. I need to know why it a duet version."

"Ok, but you have to sing it too, Itachi."

"Alright." After a few minutes of practicing, the music sheet is complete. Itachi packed his things.

"Thanks Zein."

"My pleasure, it's to pay you back for giving me the Keytar."

"Bye Zein."

"Bye Itachi." Itachi left the apartment. Itachi look at his wrist watch, it's already 11:30am, now he's really late. He hurried off to the studio.

Akatsuki

The place is as noisy as ever, Akatsuki being a studio, it's not a surprise. Everyone is minding their own business and doing their job. Itachi enter the building, he makes his way to Pein's office. He knock the door gently, knowing Pein, he should be doing his paper work.

"Enter." Itachi open the door and enters the office. The place is quite dull, there's not much decoration but it still acceptable.

"Leader, here's the new music sheet and lyrics."

"That's fast, how did you finish it?"

"I have help along the way." Pein took the stakes of paper from
Itachi, he examine each paper carefully before excusing Itachi.

"… Itachi."

"Yes leader?"

"Can you explain to me why it is a duet song?"

"… The lyrics are not the issue leader; it's just that the song will sound better if the song is sung by two people."

"If this is going to be a duet song, the company needs another singer."

"…" Itachi already thought of someone suitable for the job. "I know where we can get another singer." Pein raise a brow.

"Really?"

"Yes, and I can confirm that this person is the right person for this song."

"… Alright, Itachi. I will accept your opinion and make it a duet song."

"Thank you."

"You are excused." Itachi bowed to Pein and left the room. Pein looked at the papers in his hand. "…" 'A duet song…' Pein turned his chair castor to face the large window behind him. Outside the office, Deidara and Sasori had an argument again.

"Brat, this song is supposed to be a fast song! Stop dragging it!"

"Shut up! I'm tired from all that singing! Can't I get a break!"

"The deadline is tomorrow, so you must finish this song by today."

"You think I care?" The argument continues, Deidara is tired and now his in a bad mood. "Whatever! I'm going out!" Deidara storm out of the studio, he turn his head back to the studio. 'Who does he think he is! Always telling me to do this and do that!' Deidara turn back to the road and stormed off.
