Too much noise.

Konan walked the halls silently, being woken by so much noise, she entered Nagato's office.

"What's going on...?" She said, slightly groggy.

"It seems that Deena is hurt, Inu is throwing a fit, and that everyone is in a panic... you seem to be the only calm one." He smiled slightly... but he looked tired... as he continued to fill out paperwork.

Nagato yawned, and stretched slightly.

"When was the last time you slept, Nagato?" Konan said, trying not to let worry colour her tone.

"A couple of nights ago... it's no big deal..."

She looked into his eyes, and she knew he was spent.

"Nagato, you go to bed... I'll try to silence the commotion, and I'll get your assistant to finish your work... that's the reason she was hired right...?" She said, shaking her head slightly.

He smiled, "Thank you Konan... I can always count on you." And with that, he stumbled into his room.

Then Konan walked out into the common room, and politely asked everyone to keep quiet, or she would have their tongues cut out. The room started to silence, except for Hidan's swearing, that, we've learned to tune out.

"Arigatou." She said, disappearing and reappearing next to Nagato, she settled in the corner, and fell back asleep.
