Affairs between angel and god

Divine Observation

Konan stood upon her perch atop the castle of the Hidden Rain village. Pain walked in and stood beside her. "What troubles you, Konan?" She looked to him with a sad expression on her face. "It is nothing, Lord Pain." "If it's one thing you should know by now, it's that you cannot fool these eyes." "You're right...I should know

better." Pain sat down on the edge of her perch. "Sit...let's chat." "How are you aware of my troubles?" "A god should know his angels well enough to know just when they are troubled or in danger, so that he may comfort and protect them." "So you've been watching me?" "These eyes see all." "Of course." Konan plopped down

beside him. Pain put an arm around her and pulled her closer. Konan cuddled up to him. "Are you cold?" "It's been chilly today." "I'm not the best body warmer, a blanket has more heat than this body, but I can try." "It doesn't matter to me." Pain rubbed her shoulder, attempting to use friction to heat her shivering body. "Ow."

"Hm?" "Your chakra piercing pricked me." "Oh, I'm sorry." "It's alright. At least I'm a little warmer now." Konan embraced him. Pain placed a hand on her back. "Now, tell me what ails you." "It's nothing really...I just...missed you." "Really? Is that all?" "You've been gone to the Land of Clouds for a long time. I've just been feeling

a little lonely, I guess." "If I'd of known I'd be gone so long, I would have brought you with me. Perhaps I should have regardless." "Hm?" "On the way, Animal found something." "What was it?" 'Bonsho teim!' A small object floated from within the room, to the outside, and landed in Pain's hand. Konan gasped upon beholding the

nostalgic sight. Pain held in his hand a light blue flower that was made of paper. "The old hideout." "You found our old hideout… and my first flower? I thought I lost it forever!" "Lost...and found." Pain placed it in her hair. "This flower brings out your beauty, that of a true angel, a sight nigh but gods may beheld. All the more

reason I appreciate my godhood. Were I a mere mortal, your aesthetic appearance would surely never strike upon these heaven blessed eyes." Konan blushed at his kind words. "Thank you...Yahiko."
