5 Reasons Zaku likes Kin or at least can stand having her around: (for: Seifette-fan)

---------------------------------------------------------

1. Being the first one to be found by Orochimaru should have given him the upper hand, yes? And on cold nights Zaku would often lay in bed wondering just why the heck it hadn't been so. Perhaps, it was because Dosu had been stronger than him even before obtaining his metal arm... Either way, Zaku hated thinking about it. Although Dosu never purposefully rubbed it in, just trying to play- in Zaku's opinion- older brother, was torture enough. He never said thank you but still, having his butt saved on almost a daily basis really was a killer for one's self esteem. But when it came to Kin. Zaku laughed, it was a whole different story. Kin- surprisingly to his pleasure- was the weakest of the team. And even Dosu couldn't be always there when you needed him. So when Kin got herself in a screwed up situation-although this wasn't often-, Zaku could play the hero for once.

2. Kin was the only one in the whole Sound village who knew how to sew (not counting Kidoumaru who never did as neat of a job). Although she did it with senbon rather than sewing needles, she always got the job done. Not to mention she always up for a challenge and for some reason never turned down anyone who brought her something to sew up. Zaku recalled a time when they were a little younger. Back when he had been too proud to ask for anyone's help even when it came to "certain things". Even now he'd grimace remembering those days. Trying to fight serious battles had been freaking hard wearing what looked like something that had just gone through a paper-shredder. And fighting in his boxers was just too damn degrading (he knew because he had tried it once). However, Kin's expression that one time had been priceless.

3. Kin was just a hell of a lot more fun to pants then Dosu. Especially days when she didn't wear her skirt. (Despite it meant for him having to walk around the rest of the day with a red hand-print on his face and Tayuya giving him the finger if he passed her in the village, he decided it was always worth it anyways).

4. Dosu was the quiet one of the group. Kin was the "girl" of the group. That left only the difficult, annoying guy for Zaku. He was a challenge that Kabuto avoided, Dosu put down then ignored, and nobody else even looked at. He was a challenge that only Kin ever met. Although it was often only a way to past the time, she would make fun of him. She'd try to to make him feel like dirt- trying to be like her idol, Tayuya- but she'd always fail. Zaku knew he was much better at banter then she was. This was because he was naturally ruder and had more practice. She always fun to counter and shoot down with some cheeky and/or perverted remark (most of which he learned from Kidoumaru). His favorite moments were the times when he'd say something so pleasingly inappropriate that he left her so flustered that she had a hard time deciding whether to slap him or jump him (most of the time she'd do both).

5. Kin was an easy target. Not just in the training field, but as a human in general. Although it killed her inside to admit it, she was even worse at being a girl than Tayuya. Although she didn't poses as bad of a mouth and dressed slightly more feminine, it was true. Despite being female, she couldn't cook (even Tayuya could fry an egg and bake a potato when necessary). Kin simply sucked at all things feminine (except of course her sewing). Although no one could compete with Jiroubou, at least none of them burned cereal like she did (when Kabuto left them Dosu had been left in charge of the Three's cooking for a reason). Cleaning also wasn't the Tsuchi's strong point. Most of the time she'd leave things messier than when she started. Because of these, and many other things, Zaku could always find a reason to bring her down. He knew despite what she said, she was really sensitive about her faults. Yet it was just so much fun to make her cry then give her a hug (while secretly taking a peak at her chest when she wore low-cuts) to make her stop- although this often meant getting pushed down the staircase later the same day.

6. Because if Kin died he'd be left with just Dosu and that was just not ok.

Yes, I know I know, this may have suck, excuse me. But It's my first of the series so don't be too harsh. Please return to me feedback and/or a request for another chapter.
