What the hell was I thinking?

I was soaked through from the pouring rain, still trying to find shelter in the woods but the storm proved to be too much.

No tree could keep me even somewhat dry; it was dark and could barely see where I was going. I sniffed as my teeth chattered from the chilling water, dying to get some warmth and much needed rest.

I finally stopped walking through the mud, knowing it was useless. Maybe I should have stayed in that alley but…there were menacing looking men so I didn't want to take the chance.

I wandered over to a tree and sat underneath it, hugging my bag against my chest trying to curl into a ball to gain some kind of warmth.

Here I was: soaked to the bone, filthy, cold, starving, lost, and sick. Yes I was ill, but not hard to imagine considering my living situation.

I sat there sobbing like no tomorrow, silently praying to Jashin for my lovers to find me. Though, deep down I didn't want them to after what happened between me and Kakuzu.

I'm such a fool.

*It started out just a small bicker between two lovers then it turned into a nasty fight. How I don't know, it all seemed to happen so fast.

He gritted his teeth towering over me, "I said no Olivia!"

"You don't own me so stop telling me what I can and can't do!"

He snorted, "I have every right to so technically I DO own you!" I pursed my lips growling, "How so Mr. Smart Alec?"

Kakuzu pointed a finger threateningly at my face, "I have a say on everything you do for two reasons. I pay your bills and keep you up!"

"So!? Then I'll just find a job to get my own money since you're such a damn tightwad!" He scoffed, "Don't make me laugh, you couldn't do it before and you can't do it now."

I bit my lip, "What's that supposed to mean?" "Face the facts Olivia, you have no experience in any kind of work at all and can't do missions since you're not a shinobi either so stop this foolish nonsense!"

I was a bit taken aback that he was actually yelling at me right now, cornering me against the wall but what got me the most was the hidden message in his words.

I tried my supreme hardest not to cry and muttered, trying not to sound choked up, "More or less I have no hope surviving on my own and am useless?" "What do you think?" I blinked a few times, beyond hurt that he thought that of me, and dismally went to my room.

"Stop that sniveling too. Crying never solved anyone's problems now has it?"I turned back with the tears already streaming down my face and shrieked,

"I'LL FUCKING CRY IF I WANT TO BITCH!" He stomped to my door and was about to snap at me when I muttered, "I hate you."

Then I slammed the door in his face, not even noticing his expression had changed.

That's how it all started, some stupid argument…..that happened a week ago. Why couldn't we both have just both agreed we were wrong and apologized like we normally did.

I regret it all now and he was right, whether he meant it or not, I'm useless and can't do anything by myself.

*The day of fight*

They all heard it plain as day, even Zetsu and Madara. There was nothing they could do but listen, actually appalled by the cruel words between the two that usually never fought.

After she had slammed the door in his face Hidan scowled at his lover, "Kakuzu, we need to talk." The miser snapped, "There's nothing to talk about."

He marched into his room with Hidan following angrily, "Look old man!" He made his lover look at him, "Do you even fucking realize what you said to her!?"

He pushed his lover away and sat in his chair, "Yes so what's your point?" "You fucking idiot! You pretty much told her she was useless and no count!"

Kakuzu just went rigid, staring at nothing with a solemn expression before he spoke. "I did no such thing."

Tobi came in with a frown, "That's what it sounded like Kakuzu. You hurt Olivee now apologize to her."

The banker snorted, "I will not unless she comes to me first. She started this whole damn thing and infuriated me over something so stupid!"

Hidan grabbed him by the collar snarling, "You're sounding like me old man and that's not a fucking compliment! You fucking let yourself get pissed off and said something you fucking shouldn't! Now fucking get in there and make up with her!"

He let him go and stomped out. Tobi narrowed his eyes at the banker muttering, "Kakuzu needs to get over his pride unless he wants to lose Olivee. If so, Tobi will make sure to take his place."

The miser's head snapped up from those words as Tobi shuffled out. He stared blankly at the floor again. Taking his place? No way will he let that happen and she wouldn't replace him because of this…..would she?

He was dubious but planned on having a long talk with her tomorrow morning once he calmed down tonight. No need to stoke the fire so to speak.

But he was too late...she left.
