I waved to Neji, running to catch up with him toting the heavy bag with me.

"Ni-San thank you for meeting me here," I said panting, I bowed hooking my arm through his.

"It's okay imouto, I heard your work place was attacked, a bank robbery so I'm told," Neji said, sounding stern but trying to be kind.

"Yes, unfortunately they succeeded, and I quit I'm freelance again." Neji smiled at me, proud.

"It's good imouto, I hated seeing you so unhappy and chained to a desk, you seemed happier looking a mess and acting weird," he said as he slung an arm around my shoulder, giving me a squeeze. There was a time when our relationship wasn't very good and Neji was stoic, he had done a very good job closing that gap between us, while father tried his hardest to widen it. I shifted the strap on my shoulder, settling it on my other shoulder. Neji offered to take it out of manners but I objected to it strongly.

"It's all new computer tech, my current employer gave it to me as payment, father destroyed everything I owned when I got that bank job." I turned the corner dragging Neji with me, we had entered the industrial part of town. He looked around questioningly and raised a perfect brow at me.

"A few of these places have been turned into apartments, I'm living with some friends ni-san," I said blushing, he rolled his eyes at me.

"I thought you stopped doing that imouto, we should get lunch sometime, goodbye I have a meeting on soon," he bowed waving, I returned the gesture's. Both of the boys were pacing when I entered, I flung the bag off my shoulder letting it land heavily on the floor.

"My cousin was inquiring to my health, he hasn't seen me in a very long time, I'm sorry for making you worry Kakuzu," I looked at him from under my lashes, waiting for him to scold me.

"You did really good Hina, it's okay go to the room we'll handle the rest of this," he whispered pecking me quickly on the lips. I scrunched my nose up and stuck my tongue out in a childish display.

"You apologise to him but not to me, well that's nice?" Hidan muttered vein pulsing in his forehead.

"I hate you too," I muttered, as I trotted to my room. I looked back at them, focusing on Kakuzu, the way his face lit up when he was handling money told me that I didn't compare to it. Money would always be number one in his heart. A solitary tear slide down my cheek, clutching at my heart I locked myself in 'our' room and leaned heavily against the door. Silent sobs racked my body as I slide down the wall, despair killing my heart.
