The sun shone warmly and the birds chirped happily until suddenly bone-shaking cursing made the earth tremble. "Hidan, SHUT UP!" Sasori and Deidara yelled, for once in union. Both searched for the source of noise but couldn't find it. How could they though when the person mentioned was in the Leader's office. Pain rolled his eyes, showing his fading patience. "What's your problem this time?" he asked the Jashinist, having a hard time keeping is voice calm. Since Hidan was too busy swearing, Kakuzu answered in his stead. "That is his sister." He pointed at the picture laying on top of the information the leader had just passed on to them for their next mission. Pain blinked a few times, trying to compare the picture with Hidan. She had blond layered hair, which reached a little under her shoulder blade. Her green eyes seemed to glare at the photographer. "She does not look a bit like Hidan. Are you sure that we are not talking about Deidara's sister here?" The swearing stopped abruptly as Hidan stared at the Leader. "Are you fucking blind or simply retarded?! Does she look to you like a Barbie? No, she does not!" Hidan replied disgustedly. It almost seemed as if Pain had insulted Hidan himself. Kakuzu sighed extremely annoyed and quickly took the info sheets out of the Leader's hands. "I will not kill her!" Pain's eyes were fixed on Hidan. Even Kakuzu seemed a little surprised by his partner's stubbornness on this case. "That might be a problem." Pain said without a single expression crossing his face. "It seems like you will be granted a solo mission, Kakuzu." Hidan's eyes widened before fixing on the Leader. "You would not dare! You cannot do this!" Pain's eyes transformed into slits and now his face had a threatening expression, which of course did not really affect Hidan. "Watch it, Hidan, don't YOU dare to tell me what I can and what I cannot do. Recently, this girl has been behaving rather suspiciously and that attracted my attention. For the first time in a few years she changed her habit and has been staying for a longer period around Kirigakure…" He was rudely interrupted as Hidan, tightening his fists, yelled: "What motherfucking habits for God's sake?!" "There have been reports stating that usually she appears out of the dark and disappears after two days without leaving any traces. But the first thing she does is visiting the local hospital. This time however she seems to have been staying in Kiri's and some close by hospitals for a little more than two weeks and that's odd. I do not accept any spies." Pain added threatening. Hidan turned around and stomped angrily towards the door. Before smashing it, he growled loudly: "Damn paranoid idiot!" The door closed with an ear-crashing boom and almost fell out of its angles. Pain threw the door a fierce glance. "I congratulate you, Kakuzu, you just won the jackpot: A quiet mission without Hidan and most likely a high bounty." A short nod and Kakuzu left the office.

"Hey retard, I am leaving… now!" Kakuzu mentioned and emphasized for once the last part of the sentence. Hidan sat up straight and spat at him: "Hey, you brain fried motherfucker, I recall saying that I will not kill her! Are you fucking deaf like our f…" He stopped and finally understood Kakuzu's clue. "I am going to wait outside." Kakuzu meant annoyed by his partner's obvious stupidity and by his own kindness.

20 minutes later, they were on their way running through the woods to Kirigakure. ‚What makes her stay in Kirigakure for so long? Why does she keep visiting the hospitals?' Not finding any answers, Hidan was close to turning mad. He forced himself to speed up. Except for a few curses and threatening, their journey passed by rather quietly. Apart from being totally pleased with the silence, the bounty hunter was surprised seeing his partner being so quiet. Hidan actually seemed to be lost in thoughts. Kakuzu himself felt a certain tickle of anticipation. According to the data, the girl had been working as a bounty hunter for a few times. Peculiar was though there seemed to be a big difference between her preys and their bounties. Neither he, nor Pain or Itachi had been able to rank the girl's abilities. All in all, except for her appearance and a few unimportant facts, her true abilities were still hidden. That and Hidan's outstanding behavior were most likely to be the reason for his anticipation and his satisfaction.
