disclaymore: ...do you really think that Naruto would be the main character if I were in control?

"Seriously, Kakuzu, do you ever think about anything but your fucking money?!" A platinum-blonde missing nin groused to his partner, glaring daggers at him.
"Yes. Not that you would know." Kakuzu rolled his inverted green eyes, and went through the details of the bounty he had decided to pursue, along with the large amount of monetary benefits to be reaped from it.
Hidan closed his violet eyes and leant against a boulder with his head bowed and arms crossed, clearly impatient, thinking about the details of the mission Leader gave the pair, for lack of anything better to think about.
So, we're supposed to find some sort of crystal. Simple enough, right? He uncrossed his arms and sat down, leaning against the same boulder, legs crossed, and his scythe laid across his lap. Well, it had supposedly been sealed into this huge-ass cave, but then the seal wore down over the centuries. And, since out abilities allow us to go through pretty much any booby-trap unscathed, we got this lovely mission. The only problem? It's going to be sold. For fucking money. And thus Kakuzu accepts, and I have to-
"Hidan." Kakuzu broke his train of thought. "We're going." He flatly stated, already heading toward where Leader had pinpointed the general location of the cave.
Hidan followed, muttering colorful things under his breath about money.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kakuzu carried the well-insulated pouch that held the brilliant gold crystal, which they had little trouble locating and retrieving, and also carried his high-profit bounty in the other hand, looking relatively pleased with himself to Hidan.
Hidan, on the other hand, was still muttering things about money and trying to slow them down as much as possible without being obvious.
As Kakuzu collected his bounty, Hidan stood outside the entrance, looking relatively conspicuous. Then he heard something. A rustle? He turned his gaze slightly to the left, trying to locate the origin of the sound, and saw something that most likely wouldn't belong in the surrounding forest: a large section of mesh cloth.
He raised an eyebrow and crouched down on his haunches, delicately picking up the mesh with one hand, triple-bladed scythe resting against the cave wall. He heard another rustle, and then a crack. He flicked his eyes in the direction of the sound, and saw a long, red section of hair tangled in the twigs of a bush. Human hair.
Standing up, he moved quietly towards the bush in question, and roughly pushed aside a section of it when he was close enough.
"The hell?" He asked, mostly to himself, in question of the scene before him.
A girl lay sprawled out on the ground, breathing hard, tugging weakly on the piece of hair tangled in the bush; indeed, she had long, straight, grimy dark red hair, and pale, equally grimy skin. The scared expression on her face wasn't accompanied by a scream, squeak, whimper or otherwise fearful noise. Odd, Hidan thought.
"I suppose this would be the point at where I ask your name..." He flatly stated.
She blinked her large eyes and stared fearfully at him like a small mouse caught in the act of stealing cheese, hands now held up to her chest, lightly fisted together. No reply.
"Dammit, answer." He muttered, already irritated.
Still no answer. The girl closed her eyes and hugged herself, then opened her eyes and started to shiver.
Hidan raised an eyebrow. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"
She made the same movement, but with more exaggerated movement, and kept her eyes to the ground.
"Winter? Is that your name?" He deadpanned.
She shook her head left-to-right. So it wasn't winter. This game of charades is tiring..., he thought.
He tried again, trying to stay calm. "Is it...Reiki?"
This time, she nodded, and looked up at him. He noticed her eyes were a shade of grey, but then shrugged it off.
"Oi, Hidan, let's get back to headquarters and--who the hell is that?" Kakuzu interjected.
"I think her name's Reiki. Maybe we should take her back there?" Hidan asked, not particularly caring about Kakuzu's opinion.
"Pah. You found her, you do whatever you want." Came the short reply.
