I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. I really wish I did because I would absolutely love to see this story in the manga and anime XD Anyway, Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

'Kakuzu, hurry up and put my head back on!' Hidan snapped.

Kakuzu glared at Hidan with a threatening look in his eyes, he didn't like Hidan's bossy yelling and the annoying Janishist knew that perfectly well.

'Kakuzu-chan, come on~!' Hidan whined.

'Shut up,' Kakuzu growled, picking up Hidan's head, 'I might just crush you if you don't.'

Hidan wisely said nothing more while he was in such a precarious position, he wouldn't put it past Kakuzu to actually carry out his threat.

'Hurry up, Kakuzu,' Konan sighed, 'we've completed our mission, we shouldn't stay out here too long or we'll attract unwanted attention.'

'Why is she even here?' Hidan asked, while Kakuzu stitched his head back onto his neck.

'If you'd been listening when Leader gave us our mission, you'd know that he assigned Konan the same mission as us,' Kakuzu replied, irritably. 'Leader seemed to predict that we would need her skills.'

Hidan, his head now securely back on his body, looked down at the paper that was strewn all over the ground. How Konan had managed to take down their target using only that paper was beyong him, especially when he himself had just got his head sliced off by the very same opponent.

'I could've taken him without her,' Hidan muttered, bitterly.

Konan raised an unamused eyebrow, and pursed her lips together in evident displeasure. The blue haired kunoichi said nothing, however, and simply walked past Hidan, heading back to the base.

'Oi, don't just walk away from me you little-'

'I'd be careful how you finish that sentence, Hidan,' Konan said, quietly. 'Or you might find your head on the floor again.'

Hidan picked up his scythe and looked like he was seriously considering attacking the Amegakure ninja before Kakuzu gave him a kick in the shin that made the Jashinist curse loudly, his wrath now upon Kakuzu.

'What the hell did you do that for!?' Hidan yelled, bradishing his scythe at the older ninja.

'You were annoying me, now shut up and get moving,' Kakuzu replied, setting off after Konan.

Hidan, still swearing at the top of his voice, trudged after the other Akatsuki members, occasionally yelling at them that, if he had his way, he would sacrifice both of them to Jashin instantly. He was still ranting on like this as the three made their way through a forest about ten minutes later.

'-and then, I'd stab you, then I'd-'

'Shut up!' Konan said, suddenly.

'Look, I don't care who you are, you do not just tell me to shut-'

'Shh!' Konan hissed, waving a hand for the immortal to be quiet.

Hidan stared at Konan, outraged, his fist clenching tighter around his scythe.

'I heard something,' Konan whispered, her eyes flicked from place to place trying to locate the scource of the noise.

Hidan, momentarily distracted from his rage, listened too, and sure enough he could definately hear something.

'Someone's crying,' Konan murmured.

Slowly and quietly, the kunoichi moved through the trees towards the noise, a kunai at the ready just in case. Kazkuzu and Hidan followed her, even Hidan was doing his utmost to keep quiet. A gasp from upahead told the two men that Konan had found whoever was making the noise.

'Hurry up!' Konan called, urgently.

Abandoning stealth, the two ninja charged through the undergrowth, roughly shoving branches out of their way and scaring quite a few birds in the process. They found Konan crouched on the floor, her kunai abandoned on the ground, in her arms was a small wailing child wearing a white dress and wrapped in a thick pink blanket.

'What the hell is that?' Hidan asked.

'It's a baby, Hidan,' Kakuzu replied, shortly.

'I can see that, you idiot!' Hidan snapped.

The child began to wail even more, burrying it's head in Konan's shoulder.

'You're scaring her!' Konan scolded in a hushed voice.

The two men shut up but continued to glare at each other as if continuing the argument in their heads. Kokan, meanwhile, was gently rocking the baby, whispering softly to it in an attempt to calm it down.

'Shh, it's alright,' she said, soothingly.

'Alright, Konan, put the kid down and let's go,' Hidan sighed, now getting quite bored of the situation.

Konan, who had now managed to stop the child's sobbing, looked at Hidan as if he had just suggested the most horrible crime a person could commit.

'I am not just going to leave it,' she said, her eyes now fixed dangerously on the immortal.

'Fine, kill it and put it out of it's misery,' Hidan replied, irritably.

'Hidan! If you ever say something like that again, I'll make you suffer so much you'll wish you could die!' Konan said, a fiery rage in her steely eyes.

'Woah, calm down,' Hidan raised his hands in surrender, he had had no idea of how scary Konan could be when she got going. 'Why do you want to help that brat?'

'Because she's all alone,' Konan replied fiercly, protectively hugging the baby closer to herself.

'Fine, bring it back with you,' Kakuzu sighed. 'Although I doubt Leader will be very happy with you.'

'I can persuade him,' Konan said, looking very determined.
