It was starting to get late and there was still not a sign of this guys associate leaving anytime soon. The bounty hunter growled to herself and rubbed her shoulder she had her sniper riffle pressed against for the past several hours. Her body was stiff from lying on the ground so long but she had to be patient. Who ever this Hidan guy was there was a huge bounty over his head. She didn't care what the organization was or why he was in it but he had a pretty pay and when you're living paycheck to paycheck its rare a job like this comes your way. Usually pay days like this don't stay on the table for long.
In any case she'd spent the last two months tracking his ass down. For someone with such a high bounty, he sure made a lot of public appearances with out getting caught. The bounty hunter smirked. He must be one cocky bastard. The bounty hunter pulled the sniper close when she saw movement. False alarm. Her shoulders sagged, but she kept on her guard. From what she'd gathered Hidan was supposed to be making some kind of transaction with the associate, but she had to wait until the associate was gone or at least out of range before she sniped this guy.
If she snipped him out right then and there with the associate as a witness things might go bad. He could call in back up and figure out her position, or worse…take the body himself for the bounty. The bounty hunter wasn't going to let that happen. All she had at this point was the equivalent of about 40 bucks and that won't get her far. This mission can't go wrong. That was another thing odd about this job… He's worth more dead than alive… that's pretty unusual. The bounty hunter shook it off and kept her eyes on the prize.
She couldn't hear what was going on but, just knew it was still going to be a while before anything happened. Normally since its only two guys she'd just snipe 'em both, considering their line of work. Who ever the associate was without a doubt was no saint if getting involved with a sick fuck like this guy. But unfortunately she didn't have a clear shot for either of them at the moment and just had to wait it out until they moved. The bounty hunter had spent enough time tracking this guy, she could wait a little longer.
After what seemed like another few hours, and was now probably around 3 in the morning, the two parted. The bounty hunter waited until enough distance was between the two before engaging a strike. It took a little longer to line up the shot she needed. If she shot his head from here he might not be recognizable enough to get paid for. Instead she lined up the shot and fired three shots through the heart. The man dropped almost instantly. The hunter waited about 10 minutes for something to happen, before deciding it was okay to move. She stood straight up and stretched her stiff limbs. Oh my god as soon as I get paid I'm finding an Inn and taking a nice long bath! She fantasized.
It was short lived however for as soon as she began to gather up her things she felt a hand clasp around her ankle. The next thing she knew was she was dangling upside down by some black and white split Venus flytrap man who was rooted to the ground like a tree.
"Hello!" it practically sang before sinking back into the ground and dragging the hunter down with it. In a panic the hunter tried to grab at anything she could get her hands on but to no avail. Before she could even yell anything out she was underground and taken from her ledge overlooking the dirt road in the forest.
Pein sat in his office thumbing through his paper work when Zetsu suddenly appeared in front of his desk. Pein looked up curious as to why the man was reporting back so soon.
"What is it Zetsu, how was the mission?" Pein asked.
About a half mile from the small village by the Akatsuki's secret base Hidan was supposed to rendezvous with a client for a potential business investment in the future. It wasn't ideal that Hidan be the one to discuss the basic details, but this was a shady transaction being made and if anyone can tell when they're being screwed over it was Hidan. Aside from that he was the only one going to be in the area for that time slot. None the less Zetsu was assigned as back up to scout out the area and keep an eye on things. So here lies the question. Pein thought. What went wrong?
"The mission was a success." "Though shortly after an assassination was attempted on Hidan's life." Pein barely looked phased by this but asked none the less
"How is he?"
"Hidan is fine." "It's the assassin that is questionable." Zetsu growled.
"How so?"
"She attacked with some sort of long range weapon." "I'd only heard of them in urban legends" Peins eyebrows knit together.
"What kind of weapon?" he questioned. Now he was getting interested.
"It looked like a modified pipe."
"How far was the range of weapon?"
"Farther than we anticipated." "It fired from outside the area we had scouted." "From where Hidan was you wouldn't have been able to hear it fire." "Though we fire a test shot from the machine and it was quit loud up close."
"The Accuracy?"
"Accurate. Three wounds to the heart."
Pein let out a breath. He didn't like this he knew the ranges Zetsu searched. To have a weapon that accurate from that far away was unsettling. No not just that. Unthinkable. He had heard of some far off land that used guns, but didn't ever think he'd see any. He didn't even particularly believe such a thing existed. At least not ones this good.
"Is she a threat?" he finally asked.
"We do not think so." "Had it been anyone normal she was firing at they would be dead." "But, the girl barely noticed our presence until we had her in our palm." "If she had had any shinobi training she would have had better reactions." "Without her machine she's as harmless as a civilian."
"Anything else?"
"No."
Pein sighed and lean back in his seat in silence. As if trying to solve some kind of great philosophical mystery. He had asked all the questions he needed for the moment. So why was he looking for more?
"We just thought it was something worth looking into." "It seemed a bit odd…" Pein nodded.
"Very well, bring her in for questioning." Pein said and waved Zetsu off.
"Bye the way Zetsu, where is she right now?" Pein asked as Zetsu sank through the floor to leave. If he was here, where was the assassin? Zetsus black half smiled sadistically.
"We left her about six feet under while we talked this over." He said as his head went through the floor. Pein stared at the floor where Zetsu had just been as it sank in. Zetsu left that girl underground the entire time we were talking! For his sake he better hope she's still alive. I need to look into this still…
This all seemed very suspicious. A strange assassin with a weapon only heard about from urban legends, being wielded by some one with the fighting skills of an average civilian…not to mention the timing. Conveniently after the transaction. Where had this assassin come from…and more importantly who sent her here.
Kakuzu strolled along the narrow dirt road that traveled through the forest suitcase of money in hand. He was off on business the past week and was supposed to meet up with Hidan on the way back to the base. Kakuzu growled inwardly. Hidan without a doubt most likely didn't want to wait around and ditched. That would be just like him to blow off work and hit up some strip joint or whore house…and run up a tab. When Kakuzu got around a bend however he saw someone lying in the middle of the road surrounded by blood.
Once he got close he stopped in front of the fallen person who just happened to be his idiot partner. Hidan glared up at Kakuzu.
"The fuck you lookin' at?!" he snarled.
"How did the Mission go?" Kakuzu demanded. Hidan suddenly looked pissed.
"Oh I'm fucking terrific Kakuzu. Thanks a fucking lot for asking…fucker." He grumbled the last bit. Kakuzu rolled his eyes.
"What happened?"
"I don't fucking know! Once that other sonova Bitch left I was minding my own fucking business then all of a sudden some shit went through my chest and it hasn't healed yet!" he exclaimed. Kakuzu paused before saying;
"What I got out of that was I should go on without you." And then starting to walk off.
"No you asshole! Where do you think your-Hey! COME BACK AND FIX ME YOU FUCKING DOUCHEBAG!" Hidan yelled. The wound to his heart had left him in a weakened state. Getting up was out of the question until it healed. Kakuzu turned on his heals and approached his fallen partner.
"How much you got on you?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Hidan gaped at Kakuzu. He couldn't believe at a time like this- okay he could, but still.
"What?! Nothing!"
"Nice try Hidan, but I know you always have carrying money when your missions are this close to villages." Bar tab, sure. But whores were pricy. Kakuzu whisked some threads out and sent them under Hidans cloak to get at his wallet. Only…he didn't find a pocket.
"Hidan…are you not wearing pants?" Kakuzu asked hoping so bad he was. Hidan just looked at him with a pervy smirk.
"I said I had nothing on me haha!" Hidan laughed. Kakuzu quickly removed his hand from Hidans cloak and punched him in the jaw. Unfortunately for Kakuzu it didn't stop Hidan from laughing.
"Oy! What was that for? I'm not the one that was feeling me up! Haha!" he taunted earning another punch in his jaw from Kakuzu.
Begrudgingly Kakuzu leaned down to take a better look at the deep wound in Hidans chest. From what he could see Hidans body had already started to try and heal itself, but for whatever reason had stopped. When Kakuzu willed his threads to stitch Hidan up he found the issue.
"AHH! Kakuzu! What the hell are you doing?!" Hidan yelled as he felt Kakuzus threads digging into heart.
"Hold still." Kakuzus low rumbling voice warned. Hidan grit his teeth and groaned in his throat the pain stopped and Hidan could clearly see a bent up wad of metal dangling from Kakuzus threads.
"What the fuck?..."
"Hm." Almost as soon as it was gone Hidan felt better, and his wound was allowed to heal. For finishing touched Kakuzu stitched up the wound so Hidan wouldn't lose any more blood. He'd be damned if he was going to carry his blood-loss ass back to the base. Curious, Kakuzu, none to gently, hoisted Hidan forward.
"Kakuzu! What the fuck!" the weakened immortal squirmed. Two more metallic wads fell from his back and into the blood he had been lying in. Though the exit wounds had already stopped bleeding, Kakuzu figured if he didn't stitch it up his whiney partner would just bitch about it the entire way home.
For the hell of it Kakuzu kept his hand on Hidans hunched over figure and prevented the albino from getting up. Hidan was in the middle of yelling how he was going to sacrifice Kakuzu to Jashin, when Zetzu sprouted from the ground not far away. Hidan only stopped his rant when he remembered Zetsu was supposed to have his back. He only looked at him for half a second before starting up again.
"What the HELL Zetzu! I thought you were supposed to be my fucking back up! I-."
"Quit your whining before I get a head ache." "Meet us at the top of that ridge. I'll explain on the way back to the base." Zetzu said than seeped back through the ground.
"What fucking ridge?" Hidan said as he got up. Kakuzu pointed behind him to a large ridge quite a ways away. "Oh…"
"You had to ask…"
Kakuzu looked down at the two bits of metal on the ground then at the one he extracted from Hidans chest. However it had gotten in his chest, two of them had made there way out, and one had gotten lodged in Hidans heart and prevented him from healing. Which made Kakuzu wonder how they had gotten there in the first place. They had to have been going fast to not only pierce through him but get stuck before his body could reject it properly…Zetzu had better have some answers.
The bounty hunter woke to the sounds of people walking. She tried to move, but found it very constricting. Her eyes eased open. Her wrists were bound together in something black and from what she could tell who ever was carrying her also held the other end of the rope. With a gasp the hunter realized she had been caught, and struggled to free her bound wrists, but to no avail. However her frantic arm movement had alerted her captors that she was now awake.
Kakuzu threw the small body off his shoulder. The bounty hunter wasn't expecting this and hadn't got her balance. She ended up falling on her ass, prompting Hidan to point and laugh. Her lip curled and she glared at the laughing man in front of her. Then in a flash she remembered what had happened before she was caught. Waiting on the ground. Shooting her target. Being dangled upside down by a mutant cactus. And being drug under ground. At that thought she realized she was completely covered in dirt. Ignoring that for the time being she snapped her gaze back on the albino mocking her. More so the wound on the left side of his bare chest. How is he still alive…I got him right through the heart…I never miss. She thought gravely. I watched him fall…
When Kakuzu and Hidan had made it to the top of the ridge Zetsu had explained the situation and answered what answers he could as promised. After learning the small person lying on the ground was the one who had wounded Hidan it took 45 minutes to calm Hidan down so he wouldn't slaughter their prisoner before Pein could interrogate further. To their annoyance it turned out the reason Zetsu had them meet atop the ridge was so they could mule back the prisoner and gear. Kakuzu through the small body over his shoulder and Hidan gathered up the gear in a duffel bag. Things went fine until the prisoner woke up.
As soon as the hunter had gotten up Kakuzu had barked that she could walk on her own now and gave a forceful tug on the rope and continued to walk. The bounty hunter eyed the two suspiciously. The one holding her rope had most of his face covered so there wasn't much to make out other than deeply tanned skin and discolored eyes. On first glance she had almost commented on them, but with the stoic menacing vibe he gave off…not to mention his towering height, she bit her tongue.
The other, her former target now captor, she could see up close now. He had pale skin silver hair and lavender eyes. To say he was funny looking didn't fit right, but he was…different. They both wore black body length jacket like clothes, with a red cloud pattern every so often. Must be from that organization they're from. The hunter concluded. The only difference between the two's outfits was Hidans. The top half of his cloak was torn it only covered one arm. He wasn't wearing a shirt either so everybody got a full view of his bare torso. The bounty hunter had to admit. It took guts to walk around like that. Heh. Just like I thought. One cocky bastard.
She would have been smirking if it weren't for the fact that she was beyond annoyed right now. Who ever caught her had searched her and took all her hand weapons. Knifes, tazzer, pistols, explosives…they even took her whip she used instead of a belt. She didn't need a belt most the time but it was a good place to keep it if she needed it. That however wasn't to bad. What made her absolutely livid was the fact that they had taken her prized sawed off shotgun her brother had given her. Basically even if she knew where she was, if she tried to escape she'd be defenseless. To top it all off the undead bastard who was supposed to be dead, was going through all her shit in the duffel bag. Every so often he would ask what something was, which she wouldn't even look back to see what it was.
Eventually Hidan was starting to get pissed off from being ignored. Without half a second of thought he grabbed his scythe and hit the prisoner on the top of her head.
"Hey, I'm talking at you!" he snapped. The bounty hunter whipped around and stared at him. Hidan smirked at the wide eyed fury in such a small person. He held out an object in his had and asked
"What. Is. This." The hunter barely recognized the object in his hand as one of her pistols and snarling.
"An ear cleaner! The hell does it look like?! Go ahead stick it in your ear and pull the trigger!" and she turned back around.
"Really?" she barely heard the word escape his mouth before she head a shot ring out followed by the sound of his body falling on the ground. Both Kakuzu and the bounty hunter turned around to see half of Hidans head was gone. Kakuzu instantly had the girl two feet off the ground by the front of her shirt.
"What the hell happened?" he shouted at the equally surprised prisoner.
"I don't know! He just shot himself!" Ignoring the fact that she had pointed out the obvious Kakuzu pressed further.
"Why did you just tell him to do this!" Kakuzu yelled. The prisoner squirmed in his grasp. She was probably trying to escape. Kakuzu thought.
"I didn't think he would actually do it! What idiot doesn't know a gun when he sees one! I didn't know he seriously didn't know what it was!" she muttered frantically.
"We don't have weapons like those around here!"
"I didn't know! I've only been here a few months!" the hunter struggled under Kakuzus grip. He glared at her for another moment before lowering her from his face. It had escalated from explanations to straight up bickering. Good lord Hidan was rubbing off on him.
"Your not from around here are you?" he finally said to the shaken prisoner. She frantically shook here head no. Kakuzu growled and dropped the small prisoner on the ground. Maybe it was the look of absolute shock on her face or the overall shaken appearance from Hidans little stunt, but Kakuzu believed it was unintentional. Kakuzu stared down as the prisoners shook while trying to stand up again. He couldn't help but notice she wouldn't take her eyes off Hidan.
"Whays wrong? Never seen a dead body before?" Kakuzu taunted. The hunter gave him a dirty look that resembled that of a pissed off jungle cat.
"No! just…never this close up and…fresh."
"Really." Kakuzu said like he didn't believe she'd ever been anywhere near a dead body. The hunter was taken a back for a moment when she realized he was watching her shake and recovered by intensifying her glare.
"Shut up its just adrenaline!" she snapped. Kakuzu shrugged off the harshness and went over to Hidans crumpled form, which had was already half healed. At least now he'll be quiet for a while.
"I don't know what your so worked up about." He said as he knelt by his partner. "Your not the one that has to carry him."
Pein sat in his office taping his finger on his desk impatiently. Zetsu had stopped by and told him that Kakuzu and Hidan were transporting the assassin. But it was taking to long. They should have been back a half hour ago. He was just about ready to send out another member to go find them when the main entrance to the hide out was opened. He practically leapt from his seat and angrily stalked off to find out what had taken so long. The second he saw them his eyes narrowed on Hidan who was still being carried on Kakuzus back. The immortal was conscious but just barely. Then his rinnegan eyes snapped toward the 'assassin'. She wasn't what he had been expecting at all.
She was only about 5'4 give or take, and couldn't be older than 20. Even that was a stretch. Her hair was black and cut short enough to be a boy's hair style. It was really messy and uneven and the bangs only added to the overall punk look to it. Her eyes were bright golden yellow. They were pretty big to but fierce. The way she scowled without faltering told Pein that she spent more time with a frightening expression on her face than a happy one. Peins eyes narrowed further when he saw the scars she had. More on the left side than the right, he could see on the bottom half of her face she had what looked like old burn scars. Once you noticed them they stood out pretty well on her pale complexion. He could see they traveled farther down her neck, but with her clothing he couldn't see if there was more than that.
As for clothes they were just as bazaar. She wore a black zip up trench coat, which she wore open instead of closed, that reached bellow the knee and had a collar instead of a hood. Bellow that was a off black loose sweatshirt that reached about mid thigh and had a large skull that covered her torso and looked like it had been painted on. He could tell she had owned it for a long time and has worn it a lot. Her pants were dark grey and bunched up where they tucked into black combat boots. Not to mention she was covered in dirt from head to toe. Between to clothing and overall appearance he wouldn't have thought she was a girl if Zetsu hadn't of told him. Though he could see she did have some feminine features. Finally he fixed his gaze on Kakuzu.
"Put him in his room and lock it in a cell. Then meet me in my office." He barked.
The bounty hunter didn't like being called an it, but if this was the guy calling the shots, than it would be a good idea to keep her mouth shut. Great, what the hell did I get myself into? She thought as 'Kakuzu' she now knew his name, led her to a small room that had two chairs in it. She noticed one of them had arm and leg cuffs on it and shuttered as the image of the electric chair came to mind.
"Hey, wait a min-OOF!" Kakuzu had noticed a resistant look in her eyes when he opened the door and thinking quickly punched her in the stomach, pushed her into the chair and trapped her in the cuffs with his arm extended by threads. Before leaving to Report to Pein, Kakuzu took one last look at the prisoner. She had the same bewildered look of horror she had while watching Hidan heal on the way back to the base. Kakuzu never liked getting stared at like that but, that was one perk to the job he guessed. People like that aren't around for long.
The bounty hunter tapped her finger on the arm of the chair waiting for something to happen. There wasn't much else to do except wait. It had been a while since that Kakuzu guy had left. Oddly enough, in situations like these it was never the capture that got to her it was the waiting. The uncertainty of being alone and restrained was always when reality set in and everything became real. This is happening. The hunter wasn't one to accept defeat so easily. She gulped. this is not happening.
Suddenly the door was thrown open. The hunter flinched, but quickly regain composure and smirked as the same guy as before came in. The flinch didn't go unnoticed. Pein eyed the girl in front of him. Why she was smirking he didn't know, and he didn't like it.
"Who do you work for?" The hunter was thrown off by this.
"What?"
"Who sent you…" he asked in a low serious tone.
"Nobody-." This answer earned a sudden punch to her right cheek.
"Ahh! What the fuck!" she yelped. Pein was now very close in her face.
"Now, I'll ask again. Who do you work for?" the hunter spat out some blood from her mouth.
"I don't work for anybody." She growled. "I'm just a bounty hunter."
For an hour and a half Pein drilled her with questions, and torture when he didn't like the answers. The bounty hunter soon stopped with giving attitude and would give short simply answers. As far as she was concerned there wasn't anything they could use against her in some way. And she sure as hell wasn't involved in anything. After a while pein realized whenever he would ask a question that was to personal she would simply remain silent.
"Where are you from?" he asked. She winced as he pressed his thumb into a new cut on her cheek. It wasn't deep, but it stung.
"The village hidden in the islands!" she seethed. Pein was getting close to the answer he desired.
"Where is it!" she glared at him.
"In the triangle!" she let out. Pein released his thumb from her wound, which she started to rub against her shoulder. So the rumors were true…
"Why would you go after a bounty so far from your home?" He asked her. She glared up at him and smirked.
"With a price like that over his head, who wouldn't…" was her answer.
"Surely you realized how many shinobi die trying to take down just one from our organization. What made you think you could do this?"
The bounty hunter looked away. Though her capture hadn't been very violent she still didn't have a clue how she would get out of here. Truthfully, she didn't understand shinobi. Any of that chakra stuff she had heard about. Seeing it in person had not only been terrifying, but disturbing. It almost seemed unnatural for anyone to have these abilities. And she could tell now with how easy she had been captured, that she's seen nothing compared to a full on battle ready ninja.
"You want to know why I think you did it?" Pein asked in a condescending manner. He had been interrogating her long enough to have a good guess of what kind of person she was.
"I think its because, you're a head strong idiot who doesn't think things through and always bites off more than you can chew and thinks a mission went well even though you got beaten to s pulp just because despite that things somehow went your way in the end." The girls face twisted into a scowl, and she still refused to meet his eye. He got that spot on.
"What is it you have no fears?" most under interrogation would either be a wreck or putting on a false façade of toughness. She just showed indifference. To this comment she smirked once again.
"My biggest fear died off when I was nine." Pein stared at her eerily.
"How old are you?" he was genuinely curious.
"Eighteen." Well…in like five months. She didn't like where Pein was going now. He had stopped with the torture, but now he was going into personal questions again.
"Aren't you a little young to be a bounty hunter?" silence.
"Shouldn't you at least be in school? Or with your family?" Silence. Pein continued asking personal questions like this but all he got was silence.
"You know I think we've had enough of this. Itachi is going to come in and make sure you haven't lied." Pein said as he got up to leave the now bloodied prisoner.
"…I've got a question for you." Pein stopped at the door.
"Why didn't that Hidan guy die when I shot him?" Pein turned back to face her. "Why didn't he die when he blew his head off?" she asked.
"Its no secret Hidan is Immortal." He said than opened the door.
Outside Itachi had been waiting patiently to go in and look to see her memories matched her answers with his sharingan. As Pein trudged through the halls he couldn't stop thinking. Not only were the rumors about the triangle true but the rumors about the hidden island village as well. Whats worst yet is the fact that they had information on the Akatsuki. Maybe not a lot from what the prisoner had said, she knew nothing of the organization other than its existence. She didn't seem to particularly care either. But enough for bounty hunters to come after the members. They were gaining to much attention. Konan passed Pein in the hall. When he didn't even seem to notice her presence she stopped him.
"Pein? Are you all right?"
"Konan, your next assignmet is to find as much information as you can about the triangle, and the hidden Island village."
"but aren't those just myths?" she called as he headed to examine the prisoners equipment.
"No. they're not." One other thing was bothering him. The way she said her fears died off what had she meant by that?
The bounty hunter groggily opened her eyes to find Kakuzu now sitting in the seat opposite from her. The last thing she remembered was Pein leaving and some other guy with long black hair coming in. then she remembered seeing what she thought was just some odd colored contacts, and then waking up now. After just staring at each other for a few minutes in silence, she finally sniffed and said
"'sup." Kakuzu held out his hand. Inside was the small wad of metal he had recovered from Hidans wound.
"What is this?" he asked. The hunter looked at it for a moment before chuckling darkly.
"Pfft, it looks like a bullet that hit its target." She said as if it was obvious, and then went into explaining how guns work once she remembered he probably had no idea what she was talking about. Kakuzu was a little baffled and described the only guns he had ever heard about. The hunter couldn't help but laugh when she realized he was talking about an old musket.
"No-o-o! …no, that's a musket. Those haven't been used in over 200 years." She laughed. Kakuzu decided to let it go once he heard that the gun he had heard of was so outdated. It certainly did explain how much better hers was. She chuckled a little more.
"No, we've advanced a lot since that era, but if you get your hands on a real one, keep it. they'd be worth quite a bit by now." Good to know. Kakuzu got what he wanted to know, but before he had made a move to leave the girl spoke.
"Alright, I answered your question. Now I have one for you." Kakuzu narrowed his eyes.
"You realize your not in a position to bargain." He stated. She shrugged. "What is it?"
"What did that itchy guy do to me?" itchy guy? Oh Itachi.
While Kkuzu tried his best to explain just what Itachi did with his sharingan, Pein talked to Itachi himself.
"Itachi, what did you find?"
"She was truthful."
"And what about her. Is she a threat to us?" Pein aksed. Itachi paused.
"I'm not sure."
"What do you mean? Is she or isn't she?"
"Well…"
"Just answer the question. If one of us got into a fight with her, would she be a threat?"
"No." Itachi said instantly. Pein furrowed his brow.
"…what else did you find Itachi?..."
"I don't believe its my place to tell sir."
"you realize how bad I can beat you correct?" Pein asked. Itachi nodded. Pein sighed. Itachi was a loyal member and he trusted his judgment. If he refused to say something he must have his reasons.
"Very well." Pein said and flicked his wrists signaling for him to leave. Itachi nodded and left.
Kakuzu had come and gone. The second she understood that Itachi had pretty much read he mind, every new cut and bruise Pein had given her burned all at once. WHY HADNT HE DONE THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE! Once Kakuzu had left she was again waiting in the dark for something to happen only this time she was brooding on that fact to keep her mind off of. It worked up until the door opened and she felt a chill go up her spine. She couldn't see who it was with the light behind them, but she could see that whoever it was, was definitely a guy. He slowly walked over until lavender eyes were right in front of her own.
"Listen here you little runt. I don't know how long the leader plans on keeping you here, but I guarantee if I had it my way you would have been fucking dead when we found you. I don't like to be made a fool of, especially not from tiny little bitches that can barely defend themselves." He seethed.
The hunter stayed completely still and decided for now not to poke the bear. She tried not to look at him hoping he would jus leave but the she felt his tongue trail up a cut on her cheek. Now she had winced away form him, no doubt giving him some sort of satisfaction. Hidan leaned back just enough to look at her cringing, and spat the blood he had lick off her, back in her face.
"Jashin has a special place for sinners who mock his followers." Hidan said then walked out of the room as if nothing had just happened.
Pein passed Hidan as he made his way back to the cell they were holding the bounty hunter in.
"Hello Hidan, I see your doing better."
"yeah, yeah. Did Kazuma go shopping? Im STARVING."
"I wouldn't know."
"tsk…damn."
As Pein made his way into the room he looked up and saw that the prisoner once again flinched when he opened the door. Only he wasn't aware it was because she was paranoid Hidan was going to come back. Pein sat back down across from her.
"Hello again." She said sarcastically. Pein wasted no time and got down to business.
"Here's the thing. While your answers checked out from the interrogation, we simply cant just let you leave once you've-."
"-Seen your secret base. Got it." she finished. Pein narrowed his eyes.
"You're smarter than I thought. So one the way down here I was faced with a conundrum, what do I do with you?" the bounty hunter looked down. She knew what was coming. They were gonna give her to the crazy immortal so he could redeem himself.
"Normally you would just be disposed of by one of the members, but I feel you might still have some usefulness. So again what to do?" she perked up when he said he didn't want to kill her…at least not yet. But his mind game was getting old.
"Then on the way over here I had an encounter and it came to me. Our maid could probably use some help keeping things up around here, and besides that its always nice to have help that can take care of itself…even if it is just barely."
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. It all seemed so easy this morning. Snipe this guy out. Go home and collect the bounty. Figure things out from there.
"Wait, so what? I'm your maid now?"
"Not exactly. Think of yourself more like an indentured servant." This cant be happening… her jaw dropped. She'd been in some tight spots, but this took the cake.
"Here's how its going to work, you obey our rules and be a good little servant, and we wont kill you. Who knows, I might even give back your gadgets one day. Got it?" her lip curled, but she forced it into a thin lipped smile and nodded.
"Good. Oh and one more thing. Since you are going to be here for a while, what is your name?" Pein asked. The girl looked up at him, this was the first some one had asked her that, they probably didn't think she was going to be alive much longer but still.
"It's Enik."
A brief history of the hidden island village.
The village hidden in the islands is located in the (Bermuda) triangle. The triangle has strange affects on chakra. Those who are from outside the triangle, find that once the enter they can not long access their chakra and are as weak as normal people. For this reason, ninjas do not go to the triangle. Its also very hard to find unless you know how to get there. People who live in the village, do not have the ability to use their chakra, even if they leave the triangle, because of this they sought out different ways to better their military without shinobi. Once the invention of guns was invented, the ninjas disregarded it and continued to better their ninjutsu, however the islanders jumped on the machinery and have been advancing ever since.
Ninja folk do not go to the island for obvious reasons along with the fact that the technology and lifestyle of the islanders is very hard on the environment and very polluting. The ninjas prefer to keep this lifestyle contained to where it already is.
The islanders don't leave often because they are accustomed to their life style (the village is very modern.) aside from that they just like to keep to themselves. Ninjas who share ports with the islander know very well that the triangle and the village hidden in the islands does on fact exist, however it seems the farther away from the islands you go the more fact turns into urban legend.
Few! That was a lot of writing! Lol if I continue this story probably not every chapter will be this long, but yeah. Let me know what you guys think! I'm still not totally sure which direction I'm going with this story but if you hit me back and get me to finish this bitch then perhaps I will figure it out.
I own nothing!
