A/N: Here's the new chapter. Oh and if I don't get any reviews I won't post a new chapter........Just Kidding! But please review, I would love to hear from all of you!

Kara's Song: (It's actually Road's Song from , and I don't own this song. I just changed a word or two so it'd make more sense, but here's the translation)

I am searching for my heart,

searching for my precious heart.

Let's check if you are it.

(Yeah, it's a rough translation, not exactly what it is, so if your Japanese and you go down and read what I wrote and it doesn't match the one above, I'm sorry.)

Zetsu: Black Zetsu is bolded, White Zetsu is normal.

Now on with the story.


Chapter 7 Plants and Seals

"Deidei-sama, what's that? Why is it dressed up?" Kara asked, holding Usa-chan in one hand and pointing to what she was a dressed up plant, with the other.

"That's just Zetsu, un," Deidara said looking up from his clay.

"Why did you name your plant? Oh is it your pet plant? Like how I have a pet rock named Joey?" Kara asked smiling.

"One, he's a member of the Akatsuki, he's not a pet. Two, he'll eat you if you get to close and yes he's a man-eating plant. Three, I'm pretty sure he's human…at least I think so, un," Deidara said.

"Oh so he eats meat!? Why did you say so before!? You know how much money we could get if we sold him to a village!?" Kara said excitedly.

"What? I'm not being sold to anyone you little piece of crap," Zetsu began to speak, "You can't blame her, she's just a kid," he said again. "So if she decided to sell us, you'd let her?"

The other side of Zetsu was quiet for a moment before saying, "No, I guess not."

Kara skipped off to the kitchen and came back with a plate of meat. "Open wide Zetsu-kun, it's time for lunch," Kara said holding up the plate to him

"Oh, she's feeding us," Zetsu said reaching for the plate but then stopped. "What the hell are you thinking? We can't take that from her! That's just weak…but it does smell good…okay just a little bite…" And with one gulp, Zetsu swallowed the bloody piece of meat of the plate whole.

Deidara looked in disgust, but Kara smiled, "Good boy, Zetsu-kun. You at the whole thing!"

"Don't treat me like a bloody pet," Zetsu said darkly then added, "Yeah, we aren't a pet. So stop treating us like that."

"But I can't help it, you're so cute!" Deidara snorted at Kara's comment. Nothing about Zetsu was cute at all. Zetsu then left the room and Kara followed.

"Aren't you going to stop her from following Zetsu?" Itachi asked from behind his book.

"Why, un?"

"Well, don't you think that she'll be eaten?"

"Zetsu just ate a whole plate of meat, un!" Itachi then gave Deidara a look. Deidara looked away, "I think she'll be fine, besides I think Zetsu kind of likes her. I mean , he didn't threaten to eat her the whole time she was talking to him, un."

……………………………..

"If you don't get out of my room, I'll eat you alive…"

"That's not very nice, especially since I just fed you," Kara said looking around his room. She saw various plants and even a small pond. "Wow, I really like your room Zetsu-kun! It's so…earthy!"

"Thanks, I guess," was all Zetsu said. "Do you want to take care of them with me?"

"Why do you have to take care of them?"

"So that they can grow to be their healthiest…" Zetsu said, "…or they'll just wither and die."

"Oh, okay! What should I do?"

"Just take this watering can and water the plants. Wait for the soil to soak up all the water," Zetsu told her handing the watering can, "If you over water them, I'll eat you."

So Kara put Usa-chan down and started to water the plants and Zetsu started to feed the meat eating plants. A few minutes later Kara found a single rose and next to the rose there was a rose bud. She crouched down with Usa-chan to examine it more closely, "Zetsu-kun! Why is this flower closed up?"

"It's still growing. It's kind of like a seal, but if you keep taking care of it soon the seal will break and it'll bloom," Zetsu said looking down at the bud next to Kara.

"Can I have the flower when it blooms?" Kara asked him.

"Sure," Zetsu said, "but that means that you'll have to take care of it then."

"Don't worry I will!" Kara smiled.

Zetsu was quiet for a moment, until a man wearing a orange swirly mask came in, "Zetsu!!!" he said in a childish voice. "Leader-sama wants to see me and you." The man then looked down at Kara, "Who are you?"

"My name is Kara!" Kara said with another big smile.

"You very cute Kara! Is that your bunny? It's almost as cute as you!"

Zetsu then grabbed the man by the arm, "Tobi, didn't you say Leader-sama wanted us?" he asked rather annoyed. "Kara you can finish watering, but then you have to get out right after okay?"

And Zetsu pulled Tobi out of the room, "Bye bye Kara-chan!"

"Bye bye Tobi-kun!" Kara said cheerfully before putting the watering can down and picked up Usa-chan. She walked over and sat down next to the small pond. "Zetsu…is really nice isn't he, Usa-chan?" Kara told Usa-chan, but her voice was no longer childish. And she began to sing sadly.

"Watashi no hearto, sagashiteru

Dajina hearto, sagashiteru.

Anata wa hatari tashikameyo."

"Do you think if I look in the pond, I'll be able to see my reflection?" Kara now spoke to Usa-chan, before looking into the pond. She saw a small 6 year old girl looking back at her. She smiled sadly, "I guess not. I wish someone could take care of me and break my seal too."

"Kara, un!"

Kara turned around to see Deidara, "Deidei-sama?"

Deidara looked at her a bit strangely, "What's wrong with you, un?"

"Nothing!" Kara said returning back to her childish and happy voice, walking out the door. Deidara followed, "Daradara-sama, did you know that if you take care of plants that they grow big and strong."

"Uh, yeah, un," Deidara said not knowing what else he should say.

"So if I took care of you, would you grow to become bigger and stronger and more manly?"

Deidara's face turned red from anger and embarrassment, "I'm gonna kill you, damn it! I do not look like a fucking a woman, un!"
