Chapter: Watching - The first time he found her watching him, He thought she was a stalker.

She was watching him again.

Hidan sighed in annoyance and glanced at the pink haired girl who had just run behind a tree to escape from his view. He stared at the hiding spot long enough for her pretty pink head to peek out once then hide again when she saw him looking her way. That was the fifth time it happened in the last ten minutes.

His eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "What the fuck..."

He glared at the pitiful excuse of a hiding spot before turning on his heel, ignoring the weird girl all together in favor of finishing his work earlier.

Hidan had just finished raking the leaves by the courtyard and thought about meeting up with his two co-workers to figure out what to do next. He had first caught wind of his newly acquired stalker when she accidentally tripped over the bucket he laid out for some gardening tools he had planned on cleaning later on. When he tried to help the girl up, she began flailing like a fish out of water began pushing past him and running behind a tree, to watch him from a distance.

That was an hour ago and the girl was still watching him.

Creepy.

He glanced around the grounds and noticed that the broom was laid out. He frowned and stalked over to the offending item and noticed the note taped on its handle upon closer inspection.

'Work hard!' Below the scribbled words was a crude drawing of Deidara and Kakuzu's faces in anime form with their thumbs up clearly meant to show him encouragement.

Hidan saw red.

"Hell no!" He threw the broom to the ground and tore the note in half. "You fucking retards!" He heard a startled yelp from behind but ignored it in favor of punching a nearby tree in frustration. "This is the third fucking time you stood me up for a goukon!"

Pulling out his phone, he saw a text message from earlier with the same annoying message sent to him but with a photo. The phone was angled in a way to show that Deidara took the photo with his hand stretched up, a bunch of girls he vaguely remember talking to at one point in school were posing in the background with peace signs and pouty expression, Kakuzu was in there as well with a bottle of beer, held up in a mock toast. He noticed a poster on the wall that was an advertisement for the local karaoke. It took all self restrained he had in his entire body to not throw his phone towards the nearest tree.

This was his third phone in six months, jashin knows he could never afford another one.

"Fucking assholes…" He grumbled, knowing that Kakashi would scold him if he heard him yelling out while cursing. He grabbed the broom, thankful that it didn't break like last time and began sweeping the area. He was pissed as hell but that didn't mean that he would leave the task undone. Don't get him wrong, he'll be taking the two's pay at the end of the week. He'd be damned if the fuckers he called friends get money out of playing hookie and leaving him to work his ass off on more than one occasion.

He swept the dried leaves into a neat pile by the foot of the tree, full intent of sacking the debris later on.

"Well… that's done," He rubbed the back of his neck, a tired sigh escaping his lips. He placed the broom on the tree and made his way to the tool shed by the house, Kakashi instructed them to never burn leaves in the garden so he bought some trash bags instead to help dispose of the leaves that littered the garden. He entered the small shed, easily finding the unopened pack of trash bags and pulled out a few. He almost tripped on a hose and cursed at the idiot who didn't bother placing the fucking thing back in its proper place. "Fucking lazy asses!"

He kicked the hose to the side, not wanting a repeat of what almost happened to him later on and made his way of out the shed. He draped the bag over his shoulder and pulled out his phone, texting the two idiots who dared leave him to do all the work that he will be visiting them later on with a bat and a promise of pain. He sent the message with a satisfied smirk. "Bastards think that they could leave me with all the work…"

A startled yelp reached his ears and he looked up to see pinky flat on the ground, a terrified look settling on her face as she stared at him.

"What the hell…?" Then he saw it.

The leaves that he spent a good ten minutes sweeping up were once again scattered around.

Sakura scrambled to get up, her hair sticking up in a few places and leaves were sticking to her clothes. "I-I'm sorry!" she said in English.

Hidan let his head drop in exasperation and groaned. "Fucking hell…"

Sakura was speaking in a frantic manner, explaining herself, but she didn't seem to notice that she was speaking in English. Her hands were moving frantically trying to explain herself but truthfully he didn't give a damn to what she had to say.

"Hey."

She clammed up at his glare and her hands came to fist the material of her shirt. "I-I'm sorry." She repeated.

Hidan ran a hand over his hair, trying to calm himself. He was mad but he couldn't yell at the girl.

Kakashi would fire his ass.

She was scared, he could read it in the way she refused to meet his gaze. He walked up to her and noted how she tensed up when he got closer by the second. Hesitantly, she looked up and met his eyes. Hidan stared at her.

"I'm sorr—Ow!" He flicked her on the forehead before she could finish her apology. "Wha—?"

"Punishment." He said. Sakura blushed and covered her forehead from any more incoming attacks.

Hidan walked passed her and picked up the broom. He needed to clean this mess up before Kakashi comes back, otherwise he could wish his paycheck for this week goodbye. He glanced at the girl who was already running away and sighed. "If she fucking tattles, I swear I'm gonna—"

"U-Um…" She was back, holding a broom in front of her with a nervous smile. "I… I'll help."

Huh. So she can speak a little Japanese now?

He stared at her for a long moment before, finally letting up. No harm in having her do what she wants. "Fine,"

She smiled at him and began sweeping the mess she created, humming happily as she did. Hidan moved away from her to do the same, only to spot Kakashi looking down at them from the second floor balcony. Kakashi caught his stare and waved at him happily before giving him a thumbs up.

Hidan made a disgusted face before going back to his work.

The people here are fucking retarded.
