-Hidan-

It was quite. Too quite, considering she was back from her mission. So what was she up to...?

Hidan stopped in his tracks, curiosity painted on his face like artwork. This girl, whom had only been part of their organization for no more than 5 months, had created a reputation. THE tormentor of tormentors. In AND out of missions. If she wasn't nagging you with constant questions just to get your goat, she was flinging herself at you from the shadows and corners in surprise 'attacks'-

Hidan's eyes widened slightly in realization. "Fuck." Was all the immortal man could say before hitting the ground. All 98 pounds of crazy sitting comfortably on his back, giggling the entire time.

"AHA! WOOOH! GROUND SCORE!" The teal haired girl screamed with enthusiasm as she pumped her fists in the air. All the while ignoring Hidan's angry shouts.

"What the fuck! Jashin's not going to be pleased! NOT GOING TO BE PLEASED! Now get the fuck off me!" Being taken down by a girl her size once is one thing...but when you've been taken down by that very same girl every week...It starts damaging ones pride. And Hidan's pride was definatley damaged.

"Well I dunnooooo...Hmm...Does Hidan deserve to be let up...or should he stay on the ground..?" The petite girl raised her finger and placed it on her chin in thought, purposely taking her sweet time. Hidan's patience quickly dwindling to nothing with every second that passed, before he, once again, snapped. Snapped like every other time this has happened. But a passerby would never know he snapped, for the girl always 'corrected' his behavior with a simple remark then left without a word. Most likely to go torment some other poor fool.

"KARU!" He screamed in anger. Why he didn't just push her off every time was beyond him. Hidan then felt movement from the blue eyed girl. And like every other time, she stood up, bent over, looked him straight in the eyes and poked him in the cheeks. Pride and dignity being thrown out the window like useless pieces of paper once again.

"Awe Hiddy... You really shouldn't yell. That's not nice...hm...You're such a Vampire...Sucking the fun and life outta evveerythiiing! Doesn't matter though...Because you'll always be the one meeting the floor! For I...AM INVINCABLE!" Karu said with a giggle before jumping into an upright standing position and walking away into the kitchen, but not before getting one last poke in. Hidan remained on the ground for a few minutes more, fuming over the way she constantly treated him. Not to mention the way he LET her. Any other Akatsuki member would be dead if they tried that. But something about Karu intrigued him.

"Hey Hiddy. Your turn to make dinner." Kakuzu usually wasn't the one to joke around or mock. But he simply couldn't resist! He finally witnessed Hidan make a fool out of himself...by not fighting back none the less. One would be simply idiotic to pass up that opportunity.

"Shut the fuck up you ugly fuck! This is no-" His shouts were interrupted by other shouts coming from the kitchen.

"YES! FACE CHECK! RIGHT INTO THE FRIDGE!"

"Ow! What the hell Karu, un! That hurt!"

"YOU were too slow miss Dei! What if I were an enemy! You would be DEAD! D-E-A-D! DEAD!"

Hidan and Kakuzu exchanged glances before heading to the kitchen to survey the damage their oh so wonderful Karu had done. And sure enough, the fridge was dented and unfortunately so was Deidara. But we mustn't forget about Deidara's beat red face as he stared her in the eye, nose to nose, and mouth agape at the 'miss Dei' remark. Never the less, he was laughed at. Not only by Hidan and Kakuzu, no no...That's not how life worked out. Kisame just happened to walk in at that exact time, followed by Tobi, Whose laugh sounded as if he had no clue as to what he was laughing at.

"What did you say, un? .Not...A GIRL!" The blondes yell fell on deaf ears, for Karu and Hidan were having a conversation of their own and the others wandered off in hopes of finding something else to hold their interest.

"Just missing the fucking chest I say" Hidan Joined in on the fun as he started to play along. This was Karu. She was tormenting the poor blonde. At least it wasn't him anymore. He couldn't handle another pride shattering 'Ground Score'.

"Well duh! I keep saying...'Implants aren't a bad thing in your case' but does 'she' listen? Nooooo of course not" Karu taunted the clay master while noting that his hand was now in his clay pouch. 'Well...this should be fun!' Was all she thought as Deidara's hand flew out of his clay pouch and released about a dozen spider bombs in her direction. Unfortunately for him, she knew long before.

"Hehe better move Hidan. Or you'll be doing your rituals sooner then you expected" She warned as she turned on her heel in a 180 and jumped in the air, landing on the palm of her right hand. From there she pushed off into the air once again, effectively landing upon Deidara's head and using it as her next push off. Karu landed gracefully on the ground behind the frenzied blonde, and just in time to use him as a shield from his own bombs.

"You know...you really shouldn't let such trivial things get to you! Your gonna end up missing all the good things in life!" She gave Deidara a smile and shoved him out of the kitchen and into the clutches of Tobi, who was claiming that he was a good boy.

"Now the kitchens ruined...Well call me when dinners ready, kay Hiddy?" Karu took no further notice to the kitchen damage as she clapped her hands in front of her face and wandered off to the living room, leaving Hidan to once again question himself. 'Why do I put up with this fucking shit!"

"Because you've fallen for her" Kakuzu knew exactly what the Jashinist was thinking. You don't get paired up with someone and NOT learn to read them like books, even if just a little. But most of it was just plain common sense. Hidan's head swung around to look the thread master in the eyes. It was truly a deer caught in headlights look.

"What the fuck are you talking about! That's ridiculous! Even if that was fucking true, Jashin would never allow it." Could that really be what it was? That strange feeling he had been feeling for quite some time now.

"Tell her,un" Deidara had walked in at the perfect moment. Though he was always somehow bashed into things by Karu, they still had a pretty good friendship going on. Not as good as the friendship Karu shared with Kakuzu, but good enough to know that a certain teal headed brat had fallen for the sacrificing 'boob'...As Deidara referred to him as.

"When the fuck did you get here! And don't tell me a shit for brains idiot like you knows too!" Hidan's anger slightly started to rise. The thought of sacrificing them both crossed his mind more than once. He did NOT fall for that tormenting little brat...

"Well it's not hard to see. More like super obvious, un...When you find yourself thinking about her at all the wrong times...when your mood automatically lightens when she's around, un. You joke more, smile more...we all see it!" Deidara finished with a smirk plastered on his face, the avoidance in Hidan's eyes a clear sign that Deidara hit the mark.

"Fuck! You really are a fucking woman! Why don't you go Bra shopping or something! I swear to Jashin ill sacrifice you!" Deidara just smiled. He couldn't get angry now, no. not when his plan was working so well. If he couldn't get Karu to confess. He would go after Hidan, and he was determined that it was going to work, whether they liked it or not. Deidara's antics earned him a questioning look from Kakuzu, before Karu rounded the corner.

"Hey Big Brother Zuzu! Come on! Come on! You said you'd help me practice today!" And with that, Kakuzu deeply sighed and was dragged away. Karu had immediately attached herself to Kakuzu when she first arrived, claiming he reminded her of her older brother. So she got into the habit of calling him big brother, something he doesn't much mind...now. But before, no matter how many times he got angry or strictly told her not to call him that, she persisted. And eventually it just grew on him.

"Besides... If you don't make a move...Ill claim her as mine, un. She is quite cute, you know." Deidara Taunted, choosing his words carefully. something he normally wouldn't do, but he had his mind set on it...and he WAS going to succeed. Something in Hidan must have clicked right then and there because all in a split second, Hidan had Deidara pinned to the wall. Uttering threats of harm to the man, it was clear that the Jashinist was not happy. But why? He said himself that he had not fallen for the girl, so why was he so angry. After a few counts of thoughts, Hidan realized one thing. The fucking blonde was right, Though he would never in a million years, admit that he was right. Hidan let Deidara fall to the floor and he walked out of the room in a fast steady pace. Karu...He needed to find Karu. Cause this feeling was killing him, and he Hated it!

"Thanks Zuzu! I knew I was doing something wrong in that move...but I couldn't figure out what! Now it's PERFECT!" Using his amazing tracking skills...and with a little help from her very loud voice...He found her just on her way into the base. It was now or never, and Jashin would surely frown upon a coward, so he got an idea and hid in the shadows. Once the petite girl was in place a few feet away, he readied himself and pounced.

"Eeeeeek!" Karu screamed as her back hit ground and she was sat upon. yes...sat upon. Hidan had successfully knocked Karu down and sat on her, placing his hands on the ground on both sides of the girls head for support. The sudden 'attack' made Karu panic and shout the first thing that came to mind.

"Okay! I Really Really Really Like You! I admit it! I'm cute, small and innocent...ish...PLEASE DONT HURT ME!" She looked up at Hidan with big eyes. Her eyes immediately meeting his amused ones. With a cocky smirk evident on his face, he leaned down till his nose was touching hers.

"Good. Well that was fucking easier then I thought. And don't be fucking stupid! I couldn't hurt you without kicking myself down to the ground...You'll be protected from now on. Cause I've claimed you as mine!" Hidan cackled before crashing his lips down on hers in a rough kiss. After the shock had left Karu's small body, she immediately kissed him back with no further hesitation. A minute passed before they broke apart, both panting for much needed air.

"That was definately it" Hidan smirked, feeling quite accomplished.

"...But...Jashin...I thought...me..." Karu couldn't put a full sentence together. Confusion jumbling all her words as she failed to piece things together, back into the complete puzzle it was.

"Well then...I guess I forever sin" Karu simply beamed at his answer, All her prayers finally answered.

"Forever...Sin..." Karu repeated in a whisper.

"Oh yeah. By the way...GROUND SCORE! Fucking rights"
