*Doku's POV*

"You have got to be kidding me," I starred at my room.

"This was your room when you were a child," Pein explained.

"It's so…so…bright and hideous."

"You loved the bright colors back then; we'll paint over it for you."

"That's okay," I smiled "I'll do it. Now, get out."

*Pein's POV*

"I don't like that bitch being here," Hidan complained "She just doesn't like me."

I raised a brow "You don't like her here because she doesn't like you?"

"Fuck when you put it that way," he blushed.

"Doku is my daughter and she has the abilities to join us."

"You gave her an interesting name," Sasori commented.

"After I found out about her blood is seemed right."

"Doku means poison," Itachi stated "How does that relate to her blood?"

"Everyone, stay out of my room until I can clean it up," Doku appeared glancing at the clock "I'm going out."

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"That's none of your business."

I narrowed my eyes at her "Fine, just don't be out too late."

"Yes father," she smiled running out the door.

"Itachi follow her," I ran a hand through my hair.

*Itachi's POV*

I followed Doku to a club, sneaking in was easy but finding her wasn't, she was no where in sight. I cursed thinking she went through the back door or left already to try to escape me. I turned to leave when the lighting became even dimmer and a spot light illuminated the stage.

"Gentlemen you better hope your wives and girlfriends aren't here," a seductive voice called over the intercom "It's time to sit back and relax, your entertainment has arrived."

The curtains opened and out stepped Doku in a sexy leather outfit with a whip. She snapped the whip and lights appeared on smaller stages throughout the club. Each little stage had a very beautiful woman clinging to an attached strip pole.

"What do you think so far of your entertainment?" there was cheering and applauding "Acid is our featured dancer for the night. Have fun gentlemen, and remember our secrets remains here."

The cheers were even louder then before and money went flying in the air. Doku looked around the room smiling, when she saw me her smile faltered for a moment. I now understood her outfit; it gave her flexibility and sexiness without it being completely obvious and obnoxious.

Music sounded throughout the club. Doku started to dance on the main stage then jumped off to wonder around the place with the whip around her like a belt sharing a stage with some of the other dancers. The men were giving her money but she never stopped to have any one-on-one time with them. I walked up behind her rubbing my hands on her arms trying to play along.

"We need to talk," I whispered.

She turned around smiling, took my hand and pulled me to a back room. She closed the door then faced me. Her face didn't show irritation, or any form of emotion, she also avoided eye contact with me. She stayed by the door ready for a quick escape.

"Make this quick, you're costing me money."

"Is that all you think about?" I asked.

"No. Now, why are you here?"

"Just wondering where you went Acid," I couldn't help but tease.

"Pein sent you," she stated "A girl's got to make money somehow."

"Why here?"

"Hours are manageable and money is good," I raised a brow "It's the only place that would hire me. Please don't tell my father."

"I have to tell him something."

"Please don't," she turned the door knob "When you leave make it look like you had the best time of your life."

Something took over, I put my hand on hers stopping her from opening the door then I lifter her chin so I could look into her red eyes. Slowly I leaned down to kiss her gently, slowly, tenderly, she pulled back slightly letting go of the doorknob.

"This will cost you."

"I'll pay."

I smirked and went back to kissing her, she kissed back timidly. My body reacted in a way I never thought possible, I pulled her closer needing her to be closer. She put her hands on my chest ensuring that when she didn't feel comfortable she could pull away. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew I was dead when Pein found out but I couldn't stop. Doku's eyes closed, I felt her body relax against mine as the kiss prolonged she became less timid and her hands pulled my face closer to hers. I didn't want to pull away but the need for air became very relevant.

"That shouldn't have happened," she whispered.

"But it did," I tried to kiss her again.

She pushed away shaking her head lightly "You know nothing about me."

"I'm sure you felt it, your body acting on its own just as mine did," I heard her excuse but didn't believe her words "This is going to happen again."

She starred at me, took a step forward and caressed my cheek. I didn't move, letting her make the first move, she brushed her lips against mine testing the waters. She kept her lips on mine without moving, after a moment she pulled away and went to the door opening it for me.

*Doku's POV*

"Doku you should be the featured dancer more often," my boss, Sylvie, looked at the box of bills I handed her and she counted it "This is the most anyone has ever brought in."

"How much did I bring in? If you don't mind me asking."

"A new record," she smiled "You brought in $150,000."

"You're kidding me?" I couldn't believe my ears.

"Nope," her smile widened "That's ten times the usual amount each dancer make in this place."

"Since I get half that," I did the math quickly "Then $75,000 will be going in my pocket."

"You got it darling," she handed me a pile of bills.

"Sylvie there's a man in the dressing room," another dancer came out holding her purse close "He looks dangerous."

Sylvie looked at me; I sighed at the silent order and went to deal with the problem. I almost expected to see Itachi but there sat my father; I was angry, embarrassed, surprised.

"Out," I hissed at him.

"Excuse me?" he asked danger in his voice.

"Out," this time I pointed to the door and tried not to show any fear.

"Doku don't speak to me that way."

"I don't really care who you are. Get out," I shook my head "You have no right to barge in on my very personal life."

"Itachi told me you had a job, I just wanted to see you working," he looked around "So work security or something?"

"The club is closed, now get out of here."

"I will, just sleep with your eyes open tonight," he warned.

"Is that a threat?" I raised a brow amused.

He just smirked and left. His threat was his way of punishing me for being disrespectful, I just brushed it off. I walked out into the main room and the other dancers walked back into the dressing room.

"What was the problem?" Sylvie asked.

"Just a man hoping to get a girl," I shrugged lying easily.

"You can go home now Doku."

"Have a nice night Sylvie."

"You too and be careful."

I nodded and walked outside, Itachi stood against the wall waiting to walk me back. I punched his stomach and started walking without him. He caught up putting a hand on my back but I picked up the pace. I wanted no contact with him for the rest of the night, especially because of him my father had to come and see where I worked.
