Chapter 9: Surprize

"He said to go to Spencers when we're done eating. He said that there's a surprize waiting for both of us." I answered my friend. We finished our food as fast as possible and headed off to our destination.

"No way! No freakin way!!" We both squealed when we arrive at the entrance of Spencers to see Sasori and Pein standing there.

"Pein!" I ran up hugging him. "What are you doing here? You said you didn't like coming to places like this!"

"Well I just thought since you were going I'd come too. It kind of lonely without you at HQ." He hugged me back.

We headed into the store and eventually covered the length of the whole mall. The only store left to look in was one of my all time favorites; Game Stop.

"Yes! They have it; they have Chrono Trigger for DS!" (A/N yes I am a Chrono Trigger fan.) Rukai laughed at me for a reason unknown to me.

"That's Kat-chan for ya! She always loves her games, especially her RPGs." Sasori seemed amused in this as well.

"I never thought Kat-san was a gamer." He laughed slightly. Pein joined in the fun of teasing me.

"Kat-chan, I've seen you in a brand new light today." He laughed at me too. How dare them!

"What's so funny about me liking a game?! So I'm girl game freak, what's wrong with that?" I glared at them. Rukai put her arm around me.

"Nothings wrong with it, it's just funny to see you freak out about a game like that." She giggled. I growled at my stupidity.

"How much is it? I'll pay for it if it's not over 500 yen." Pein asked. I studied Pein's face, searching it for any hidden meanings. I found none and checked the price.

"It's 400 yen." I stated matter-of-factly. (A/N I'm not sure how the yen thing works but last thing I remember, 100 yen was equal to 10$ American money. So 500 yen= 50$ and 400 yen= 40$. That's what I meant for them to be in this story anyway.)

Pein grabbed one off the shelf and bought it at the register. He handed me the game and I latched onto his arm like a leach.

"Thanks so much Pein! You didn't have to do that though. I could have paid for it." I blushed.

"No worries Kat-chan. I wanted to buy it for you." Pein said. I heard Rukai and Sasori talking and laughing quietly behind us.

We returned at HQ a while after; Rukai and I headed strait for my room. As soon as the door was shut she went off.

"That was just too cute!" she squealed.

"What?" I asked obviously confused.

"You and Pein today, I didn't think you could be so innocent looking!"

"Innocent?"

"Yea, that little blush and those eyes of yours are so cute!"

"Come on Rukai-chan, you know I'm not good at that kind of stuff. I'm not cute. I've never been cute, nor will I ever be cute."

"You, not cute? Ha! That's the worst damn lie you've ever told." I heard some one say. I turned to see Hidan standing in my doorway.

"Hidan-kun? What are you doing here and why the hell did you say I was cute?" I asked shocked.

"I'm here cause I want to talk to you and why I called you cute is none of your beeswax." Hidan's eyes hardened at the last part.

"See ya!" Rukai left the room as quick as possible. Hidan watched her leave, then the religious boy looked back to me as he shut the door.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I have something to tell you. Something that may shock you. Something that-"

"Out with it! What is it that you want to tell me Hidan?" I cut him off.

"Well," Hidan began to fidget. "This is hard to say but- I really like you, and I mean LIKE you."

"Well this day is just one freaking surprise after another!" I shouted in a visibly irritated way.
