-----------------------------------------------------------

dont mind the recap

They walked down the regularly dark hallways of the lair until they closed door with light seeping out the bottom.

"Perfect." Kikai was glad she'd found someone. She was about to open the door when Fuyu interrupted.

"Onee-chan, isn't that rude? You shouldn't just barge in. What about the saying 'A closed door means privacy'?"

Kikai thought for a minute. "Never heard that saying." And besides there aren't any other girls here besides us. What are you thinking you little pervert, they're all guys. Straight guys. As in they like chicks. As in --"

"OK, ok i get it!" Fuyu stopped her again. "There's no privacy here, ne?"

"I would know firsthand." Kikai grumbled. Fuyu raised her eyebrows. Kikai's response was automatic. "Shut up."

Kikai gave the handle a jiggle. Locked. Her sister gave her a weary look and she just rolled her eyes. Kikai twisted as she lifted one foot from the ground and kicked the door, breaking the lock and throwing the door flying open. Instantly she was splattered with blood. She twitched; knowing before actually having to find out who was in the room.

"GOD DAMN IT HIDAN!" she shouted.

"Hitoame-kun is something wrong?" Kazuku asked. He had surprised Kikai; he had just sort of ... appeared.

"Wha-? Why?" Kikai was confused. Hidan and her always got into fights and arguments of all sorts; what was wrong with her yelling at him now? Why would something be 'wrong' with her losing her temper on their bajillionth argument? It wasn't unusual for Hidan or herself to begging yelling insults at each other before they'd even made eye-contact.

"You look ...stressed and -- forgive me -- but a mess. Your clothes are ... well"

"I...know." She tried to hold in her anger, "Listen, can you get Hidan or..."

"Hidan's in the middle of a 'ritual' " he rolled his eyes at the word, "and -- as much as I'd like to -- I can't ...er...don't iwant/i to try to get him out of it... or listen to him complain once I do. So, can I help you with...uh, what was it?"

"Fuyu can't open her orange." and neither could Sasori, or Zetsu, or Tobi, or Deidara.she mumbled. "Will you give it a try?" He already had one of the oranges in his hand; he'd picked it up with a few of his creepy threads and was studying it.

"I'll try." He mumbled and Kikai somehow knew he wasn't going to be the one to open it. Suddenly, thousands of black threads rushed from his hand, startling Fuyu, but Kikai stood perfectly still as the man pierced the orange. "It doesn't have a heart." Was all he said. And was that disappointment Kikai heard?

"We weren't asking you to find the orange's HEART!" Kikai shouted, now totally annoyed -- could no one open an orange! "We just wanted you to openit..." She paused, trying to regain her composure, but after a long five seconds, decided she wouldn't need it to talk to Hidan. She hastily pushed past Kakuzu, a new orange gripped in her hand. "HEY YOU!" She shouted as she crossed the room.

"Kakuzu, i thought i told you to wait, I'm almost finished dammit!" The man with silver hair and an overly large triple-bladed scythe sticking out of his chest knelt in the middle of a circle with a triangle inside of it. His voice carried a hint of annoyance; Kakuzu hated having to wait for Hidan's rituals to finish. Kikai looked around the room. It was splattered with blood. She spat on the ground in disgust. She hated this guy more than hell itself.

"It's not Kakuzu you idiot." She lashed out immediately, her tone carrying her loathing.

He instinctively flinched at the familiar sound of the female's voice, but opened his eyes -- scowling -- and mumbled something.

"What'd you say!" Kikai growled back.

"I said" he emphasized his words slowly and with years worth of hate and frustration "I hate all you damn women."

"Do you really thing i give a damn what you like or dislike!" She made a sound between a sigh and a growl and pinched the bridge of her nose in an attempt to calm down. "No, as a matter of fact you know I don't give a damn."

"Why the hell are you even in here? Didn't that bastard Kakuzu tell you? I'm in the middle of a fucking ritual?"

"Not soon enough! Look what you did!" She gestured to her blood-stained clothing. "I've got your damn blood all over me! It's disgusting!" Her voice raised, looking in disgust at herself.

"Oh, just fucking deal with it!" He spat back. "Now what ido/i you want!"

"Oh . . . what did I come here for?" Kikai's unintentional (and sometimes frequent) 'memory loss' constantly annoyed two people: herself and whoever she was talking to. It wasn't one of her favorite moment's as a blonde [a/n:wow that sounds sketchy...

"Are you serious!" He was now getting up, his self inflicted wound: gone. weapon in hand.

"K-ki-kikai-chan?" the fearful voice of a now timid Fuyu came from the doorway where she stood peeking around Kakuzu [a/n: cuz he's fat...no jk.

Kikai smacked her forehead. "Now i remember! Fuyu c'mere!"

Fuyu gasped and shook her head, hiding further behind Kakuzu.

"Oh, come on! He's just a big dumbass." Kikai took a stab at convincing her sister while intentionally insulting Hidan in the process just for the hell of it.

Fuyu shook her head again as Hidan objected to his stupidity.

"Fine then. Throw one over here." Kikai was slightly pissed off with her sister. Chicken. She rolled her eyes. She caught the orange [a/n: haha katana i can catch...oranges and, holding it her fist, thrust it towards Hidan and stopping centimeters before his face. He didn't even flinch. "Open it." She demanded "and I swear, if you don't I'll fucking kick your ass."

"Fine." He spat with anger. Snatching the orange out of her hand and tossing it a few feet in front of himself, Hidan swiftly swung his triple-bladed scythe and sliced it in half. Both halves fell side-by-side with a gentle thud. Hidan studied the top-most blade on his frightful weapon in disgust. His tongue flicked out to taste the tangy juice left on the blade and his scowl deepened. Throwing his scythe down angrily and walking over to the two orange lumps he suddenly burst out "Filthy piece of shit! DIE!" and began violently stomping on and squishing the orange halves. Fuyu sweatdropped, but Kikai twitched, her anger level risen far beyond normally possible.

" 'FILTHY PIECE OF SHIT ' MY ASS HIDAN!" she fumed, storming towards him. "I'm gonna beat you senseless! Don't you even think about ignoring me you bastard!"

Distracted from his orange-smashing by Kikai's comment, Hidan turned around, "YOU? Beat me senseless? I'd like to see you try bitch!" He taunted, voice and temper rising. Both shinobi began walking towards eachother.

"ALL you had to do was open a damn orange! And what did ja do? YOU SMASHED IT!" She continued to fume.

"What the fuck would I gain by sacrificing an orange!"

"I was asking you to open it not sacrifice the fucking thing! What the fuck did I think I was doing asking a dipshit like ,YOU to open an orange!" She shouted, angrily running a hand through her hair.

"I'm the dipshit! Why can't you open it? Who's the dipshit, now?" His insults only fed her flames ... and continued the shouting match.

Unable to come up with a come a comeback, Kikai went in for the kill. Her kick that was aimed for his head along with that cocky mouth of his suddenly halted. Kakuzu had extended his arm and prevented the continuation of the fight and The blonde's death kick -- unfortunately for Kikai. Because her momentum was stopped so suddenly it caused her to loose her balance. With a small squeak Kikai's world turned upsidedown and her head, just barely above the ground. Scowling, she glared at Kakuzu from across the room, he answered with a simple shrug. She wriggled around to face Hidan, causing her shirt to fall downwards and over her head to further reveal her...er...torso.

Hidan raised his eyebrows, Kakuzu might just have been blushing, and Fuyu sighed and shook her head -- her sister had always been easy to anger -- Fuyu had been the target of that wrath one too many times.

"Oooo. Interesting choice of colors, shorty." Kikai heard Hidan's annoying voice as she struggled to fix her shirt, only tangling it more.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT, YA FAT ASS!" she continued to lengthen their battle despite her 'disability'.

"Red and black? Your boyfriend's favorite colors?" He teased, commenting on her underwear selection.

Realizing only now what he was talking about, Kikai struggled more from Kakuzu's grip and her shirt was finally forced back into place. Her arms crossed crossed over her chest in embarrassment and frustration. "God dammit Kakuzu, put me down!"

"Go ahead Kakuzu," Hidan seemed unusually spur-of-the-moment-kind. "Shorty wants to be on the ground again. She's afraid of heights." 'Well there goes that spur-of-the-moment-kindness'

"I'm not putting her down until you stop teasing her. You're going to be killed -- if not by her, then by Itachi -- and I'm not going to be the one sewing your limbs and whatnot back on you." Kakuzu protested

"We all know very well I'm immortal dumbass."

Annoyed with being ignored for the sake of their mini side-fight -- and still upsidedown -- Kikai twitched, fuming with anger. "Will you just put me the hell down Kakuzu! I came here to get an orange open, not fight with that jackass!" Kikai wriggled once again and emphasized dramatically whith her hands as she shouted.

"Fine then." Suddenly Kikai was dropped to the ground, letting out a short shout as she collided with the floor. Kakuzu's arm retracted as he continued to complain, "You didn't come here to fight with him but that sure as hell didn't stop you from starting a fight with him." He turned around to show the girls the way out.

"And it sure as hell won't stop me from ending one!" Before anyone could act to stop her again, Kikai swung her right fist towards the side of Hidan's head. The harsh sound of knuckles connecting with skull made Fuyu and Kakuzu flinch. Kakuzu immediately spun back around, looking slightly ticked.

"Damn you, bitchy runt--" Hidan didn't get to finish his insult before Kikai brought her knee swiftly up between his legs. Almost instantaneously he crumpled to the floor, curling up and whimpering (followed by much cursing) in pain. Then, most comicly Kikai stepped on him repeatedly, a red 'mad' vein forming on her head as she held her arms in a downwards 90 degree angle.

Getting much pleasure out of having to'iget down to his level/i' after having her lack of height pointed out by the very man she hated like a brother, Kikai glared dominantly and growled "Don't. Call. Me. Short." Kakuzu gaped in horror at the man that had been so proud of being immortal only seconds ago, undoubtedly Kakuzu would have guessed that now he was wishing for death.

"T-that was cheap asshole." Hidan grumbled at his opponent.

Kikai glowered at him, inches from his face, her death glare nearly matching that of her boyfriend's. "I thought by now you'd know, Hidan...I play by my own rules." Her voice carried a threat that said: 'I don't need my boyfriend to beat the living shit out of you, for I am a kunoichi, a kunoichi formerly of Konoha and currently of the Akatsuki, and i can kick your ass anyday.'

Finally coming back to his senses, Kakuzu crossed his arms, a disapproved look on his face. "Had your fill yet Hitoame?"

Cheerfully turning around and dashing to her sister's side, Kikai answered the rhetorical question, "Yup, I'm good!" She sounded carefree and happy now. The glare from seconds ago already replaced with a wide victory grin. "Bye Hidan! Have a nice day!" She waved enthusiastically. As soon as the sisters stepped out of the room the door slammed shut. Kikai and Fuyu looked at each other before bursting out laughing as they began to walk down the hall in search of some who had enough brains to open an orange.
