Henna collapsed onto Hidan s couch. Tokko circled around in front of it, before hopping up onto it himself. Hidan frowned. He hated dogs. Maybe Konan could take Henna in for a few nights. Still What kind of rough life had Henna been living, that she had to use a house no one else was living in. He glanced at the clock. Henna? He said. Hm? She responded. Want to come to work with me? He grinned. Its fucking 10:49 pm. Where the fuck do you work? Henna asked grumpily. Hey, watch you fuckin tone with me. I m the one with the potty mouth. Henna leaned her head back and smiled up at him. Fiiine I ll go. Henna hopped up and picked Tokko up. Hidan looked at the little dog cross eyed. He hated dogs. Bleck, that mutt. Hidan shook himself and led the way to the car. Henna slipped Tokko into her purse and followed Hidan out the building and back into the car. As she got into the car, Tokko popped out of Henna s purse and sat in her lap. Hidan rolled his eyes. Although he was a little jealous of the mutt. They drove towards the center of the city. Where exactly do you work? Henna frowned as she watched the buildings pass. Hidan chuckled. Just hold onto your fucking panties, we ll be there in oh were here. Henna saw a huge Casino in front of her. It simply said Kohona on the front in giant glowing blue neon letters. So your like, a bartender? Or card shark? Henna asked as Hidan parked the car. Yoooouu ll see! He sang, as he pulled her along from the car. He paused a moment to lock the car, and then continued to drag her along. Henna barely had time to stash Tokko in her purse. Instead of heading in the front entrance, Hidan dragged Henna to a locked fence, and unlocked it, letting her in first. He turned and locked the fence again, and led Henna to a side door. Henna s stomach clenched. What was she doing here. Hidan unlocked the door with a different key, and pulled Henna inside, pausing to lock the door again. Lots of locks, huh? Henna asked. Don t worry. I know you ll kill me if I put a move on you. Were just going into the soap box. Henna was confused. Hidan opened one of the two doors in front of them. It was steamy inside, like a sauna. Henna saw a dark haired man walk out of a separate room with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked at her blankly for a moment, then looked at Hidan. You cant bring you skanks in here, I don t care how much you paid for them. He stood with his hands on his hips. Henna sucked in a breath. I m not his fucking skank and he didn t pay a fucking penny for me, so shut you fucking mouth. She huffed out quickly. Hidan threw back his head and laughed. The dark haired man rolled his eyes and dried his hair with a second towel. Chill out Tobi, she s a friend. A very good friend. Henna clonked Hidan on the head. Shut the hell up. She said. Her brain hurt. Henna, this is Madara Uchiha. He s one of my co-workers . Hidan laughed. We call him Tobi though. He s usually very good natured. Henna eyed Tobi warily. She wasn t sure about that. Come on, lets go. I wanna introduce you to everyone before my match. Match? Henna asked as she was dragged along. You shall see. Hidan laughed. Henna looked back at Madara before the door closed to the bathroom. And got a very clear view of his ass, before the door swung back in her face. She grimaced and followed Hidan up, yet another set of stairs. The door opened into a white room. The carpet was a plush blue color. The couches and chairs were all white. There was a mini bar with its own bartended to the back of the room, and a whole glass wall that overlooked the room. Six men sat in various places. Another dark haired man sat beside a strange looking man with gills and blue skin. In a chair across the room, sat a man with that was half green and half black. Three men sat on the 2nd couch. A blond, a redhead and a man with a mask. Everyone s head snapped towards the door when they looked up. Ok henna, I have four minutes to make introductions, so lets get to it. Hidan pointed to the dark haired man. That s Itachi Uchiha. He s Tobi s nephew! Their actually the same age. Itachi just glared at Hidan. Henna nodded. And the freaky blue guy beside him is Kisame Hoshigaki. Hey! I object to being called freaky! Kisame hissed out. And the blond is Deidara. Hii! Deidara cried as he waved. Henna was happy to see someone was actually friendly. The redhead is Sasori. Sasori lifted his hand into a slight wave. The mask crusader is Kakuzu. Kakuzu just ignored them. And the other freak is Zetsu. Hey! We don t like being called a freak. Yeah, we hate it. Cant stand it. Never could. Henna looked at him, confused. Split personality. Hidan said solemnly. Whelp, enjoy the show! Henna turned to leave. Hey wait. Henna grabbed his hand. What the hell am I suppose to do? She asked him. Tokko poked his head out of her purse. Like I said. Kick back, relax, talk to the guys, and enjoy the show. A doggie! Deidara cried jumping from his seat to come towards Henna. Bye! Hidan ducked away from Henna, and stomped down the steps. Henna stared blankly after him. Then she felt Tokko being lifted out of her purse. She turned to see Deidara cuddling him and cooing. Who s a good little doggie! Yes you are! Yes you are un! Ugh Deidara, your giving me a fucking headache, shut the fuck up. Kisame grumbled. Henna felt nervous. Like she should leave. Deidara set the dog on the grabbed and grabbed Henna s hand, steering her towards the already crowded sofa. Hidan usually brings visitors, but they ve never been as cute as you, un He grinned. Yeah yeah, I m sure he spent his whole paycheck on her. Itachi made a shooing motion to Tokko. He is far to frivolous with his money. I hope he gets every penny our of you tonight. Itachi met Henna s eyes. Henna snapped. She crossed the space between them and gave Itachi a left hook in the jaw. The force of it slammed him to the floor. He looked up at Henna in shock. Deidara started making catcalls and whistling.
Would everyone stop fucking calling me a hooker. Im not even dressed the fucking part. Don t assume I m something I m not just because the man you work with is a fucking whore. The door opened. A orange haired man, and a woman with blue hair entered. Deidara quickly shut up. The pair started to make their way across the room, when the saw Itachi on the floor with Henna hanging over him. The woman started to laugh. Itachi, you just have a way with the ladies, don t you. She giggled. Itachi growled. She s not mine, Hidan brought her. So shut up Konan. Konan s smiled faded. Her faced started to harden. Im not a prostitute, I m not a hostess, I m only here because I kicked Naruto s ass and bandaged Hidan up because Sasuke brought a knife to the first fight, and because Otogakure burnt down my house. Henna held her hands up, hoping the message would be clear. Deidara burst out laughing. You beat Naruto? He giggled. Henna looked around at everyone one. Sure enough, they were all grinning. I ve been kicking Naruto s and Sasuke s ass s since preschool. Nothings changed. She said briskly. Pein looked at her. I know what happened already. Hidan told me. The room went quiet again. And if you hadn t been there, I doubt Hidan would have survived. Thank you. Henna nodded. She felt better that someone recognized she wasn t a stupid ditzy girl trying to make a fast buck. Pein began flipping threw the papers on his clipboard. Hidan felt the need to hunt Sasuke down after Sasuke deserted up. Henna felt awkward being the only one standing up, so she made her way back to Deidara. She squeezed into the seat between him and Sasori. Hidan called Sasuke at 9:15 this evening, asking him to meet him in a deserted grocery store parking lot. What Hidan didn t plan on, was Sasuke bringing Naruto to tag along. He also didn t count of Henna s car breaking down, and her being a fighter. Henna most likely saved Hidan brain injuries, or death. The facts are true that Sasuke did indeed bring a knife to the fight, in hopes of dispatching Hidan. He turned to look at Itachi. We absolutely cannot allow him back into the Akatsuki now. Itachi nodded, a grim look on his face. Then it hit Henna. Your Sasuke s older brother! She blurted. Itachi rolled his eyes. Yeah, unfortunately for me. Henna burned a little inside. Itachi had probably gotten Sasuke into this business. She needed to talk to Sasuke and Naruto. And soon. Hidan s fight is starting now. Pein looked at his watch. By the way, Henna. Henna turned to look back at him. Im Pein. Im Hidan s boss. What dos he do exactly anyway? Henna asked. He fights whoever I tell him to. Pein replied. Puzzle pieces started to click in her head. Otogakure. Akatsuki. Two of the biggest organized crime rings in The land of fire. She felt all of her internal organs shift. This was the Akatsuki. This was the number one organized crime gang in probably the world. And now she was right here in the middle of them. Screw my fucking luck. She thought, as she sat down in one of the 11 chairs facing the window.
