Meeting time in the Akatsuki was always a bit of a challenge. Everyone was always off doing their own things, but today all of the members were able to make it to the meeting.

Aya sat in her chair, her legs and arms crossed. She looked very nonchalant sitting at the round table. She stared at Deidara, was sitting directly opposite. Deidara squirmed slightly under her blank look.

"So, Seiko, are you up for the mission?" Aya, known as Seiko to the Akatsuki, blinked and turned to look at the one who had spoken.

Pein was the one she fixed her eyes on. She nodded absent-mindedly. She had heard everything he had said, though she really hadn't been paying attention.

Pein shook his head and chuckled.

"Dismissed. Seiko, you can get the details from Sasori, if need be."

The others stood in near unison and filed out of the conference room. Each going his, or her, own way.

Aya rolled her eyes at Pein's comment. She always knew what was going on. Her mind processed all of the information. She'd be going alone on an infiltration mission. She always went alone, for she had no partner.

She stood from the chair and headed for the door. Everyone, except Hidan, had filed out. She looked at Hidan.

"Are you coming, Hi-chan?" she asked, looking over at him. Hidan looked up at her. A glare was all she was getting. She smiled brightly at him.

"Come on, Hi-chan. If you want something to do, you can come with me on my mission. I don't mind." She walked towards him. It was then that she noticed that the necklace he usually wore was missing. She tilted her head to the side and raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"What happened to the Jashin-sama medallian?" she asked, reaching out a hand and touched the spot where it usually rested.

Hidan's eyes narrowed into slits. His medallian was indeed missing. He slapped her hand away and stood sharply. He turned on his heel and started for the door.

Aya grabbed his arm and tried to wheel him around, but he wrenched himself out of her hand. She made another grab for him. She caught him by the sleeve of his coat and slammed him into the wall.

"Who has it?" she asked, slid up against him, pinning him against the wall. Hidan simply glared down at her.

"Who the fuck has it?! Don't make me say it again." she was getting rather fed up with the way he was acting. Her eyes had narrowed into deadly slits.

Hidan groaned.

"Kakuzu." One word was enough for Aya to figure out exactly what had happened. She sighed and moved back a step, allowing Hidan to leave if he wished.
