I don't own any of the Naruto Characters obviously...

Ninx did not appreciate the makeover, it made her regret putting the cloak on even if the thing was amazingly silky. She sulk went back to the her room following it and fell into the bed with a sigh burying her head under the pillow.

"The fuck?"

She brought her head up slowly. Hidan stood by the open bathroom door completely nude and covered with blood head to toe. Well that image wasn't going away, she scowled.

"Cover up."

He scowled back, "I was doing a ritual for Jashin Heathen I don't see you doing that."

"I don't like to cover myself in blood."

"Your tattoo—" She was to annoyed to give him ground, "LEAVE ME BE OR I'LL TEAR YOU APPART AND FLUSH YOU DOWN THE TOILET PIECE BY PIECE."

He grudgingly dispersed back into the bathroom because threats were the only thing which worked. It soon started to smell less like metal and more like roses, ironic really. When he emerged once again in was in a cloud of steam. He went over to his bed in nothing but a towel the moisture still sticking to his skin and making all his muscles glisten like they were oiled. She sighed and hurried her head back under the pillow. He smacked her, more specifically her ass hard. When she hissed at him he laughed, "Don't fake it I know you like it.

"That's harassment."

"That's nothing compared to what I did to my last partner."

Ninx glared up at him though only halfheartedly. She'd wondered of course if Hidan was gay with all his grooming and overcompensating in the harassment department as if he were overcompensating. Was he so pissy to hide that he actually missed his partner? "Were you two a thing?"

Hidan's jaw dropped, "The fuck? I'm not a faggot you sick—"

"It's okay if you are," Ninx said earnestly, "It's natural, and not against Jashin's word, (she knew that because of her parents it wasn't like she researched the creepy cult that had scarred her…okay so maybe she had).

He struggled for a second to find the proper words, "…damn…pansy…cunt." Finding the right ones he disappeared again into the rose scented bathroom. She rubbed her stinking backside and mentally cussed the jerk out, she'd just been trying to talk be like a partner.

Deidara apparently having seen her alcoholism had moved the alcohol which sucked—or she'd drank it all which was worst. She was looking through the fridge furiously when she got whistled at for the umpteenth time that day.

"Nice bruising—if you toking for milk we don't have any."

"I need alcohol."

"I'll get you something if you don't vomit on me."

She closed the fridge, it was Kisame, "I won't commit on you, and I don't know what you mean by bruising. Just a few minutes prior she'd been in a fight with Hidan. She had managed not to black out and literally tear him limb from limb but…well things weren't looking to good for them as a team. Anyway she wasn't about to help him face his sexual insecurity through BSDM no matter how good he looked nude and how interesting the leather things had looked. Also she wasn't submissive.

Ninx had decided that Kisame was the Akatsuki member she could actually be friends with, he seemed cool and collected for a shark. Also he wasn't trying to sleep with her to affirm his masculinity. Deidara had tried once again to entice her showing off his weird hand mouths. Though that was both interesting and disturbing she'd declined his offer. Kisame dug out a box of fish fingers from the freezer—not Zetsu's the plant man had one all to himself. It had a bottle of vodka inside (it was strange that there was so much vodka it was almost as if the writer knew nothing about alcohol).

They drank shots of it and talked which was great. They collectively complained about Hidan some, laughed over their first meeting. Then they started playing cards because…well the author wanted to finished the chapter damnit and stuff had to happen so said writer started to awkwardly break the fourth wall. As it turned out not drinking a bottle and an entire teapot full of strong liquor helped in the not getting violently I'll department. For the first time Ninx thought maybe this could work, being part of a criminal organization that ran off of sex appeal could work.

Then Tobi burst in yelling something about Sempai and waving his arms which were on fire at the sleeves…
