~Weeks Later~

They were sitting in the art room after school, doing a still art of some flowers that was due, Mirai, being such a slow drawer stayed after to finish, Pein seemed to be perfecting his work.

Pein hadn't even so much as looked at her in what felt like forever. Mirai sighed inwardly and returned to drawing her still-life flower. It made her think of the body she had, never changing.

"Pein..." she said softly, wanting to see his eyes if nothing else. She got her wish when he turned to cast a blank expression her way. He blinked and turned back around. She hid a small smile and finished her work before walking up to the teacher and giving it to her with a slight bow, turning on her heel to exit the room.

Pein watched her go, looking down at his own completed work, he had finished fifteen minutes ago but had wanted to wait for her to go first. He rose when the door closed and gave his drawing to the teacher. She smiled at the amazing work as he too left the room.

Mirai began rubbing her once- damaged shoulder, it was a habit she had picked up since she was shot. She was wondering what to do about Pein, she missed him, but she didn't want to kill him.

Pein know something was weird with Mirai, she didn't even notice when he began walking beside her quietly. She was looking at the floor and rubbing her unmarred shoulder. He winced inwardly at the memory of the hole that had been there. He guided her gently, noticing that she moved in the direction opposite where he was unconsciously. Doing that, he moved her through the school to where his car was. That was when she looked up at her surroundings.

"Wha...where am I?" she asked, truly confused.

"We're at my car behind the school." Pein answered softly, wincing inwardly at the ice he heard in his own voice.

"What do you want Pein?" she asked, looking weakly into his eyes.

"I'm taking you away." he said, pulling her into his arms. She tensed when he hugged her, shock tearing through her. He's taking me away? Why?

"Why?" she mumbled against his chest, relaxing only slightly.

"I'll tell you on the way. Now is not the time or place," he said, opening the door of his car so she could get in, he would tell her in time. He closed the door and moved quickly to his side of the car and got in, "Thank you," he said, kindly as they drove away. Mirai smiled next to him

"It looks like Pein will die tonight," giggled Adele, "Don't you agree Moira?" The girl in question clicked a phone shut and turned to her sister.

"Yes, it does. Konan seemed happy about it." Moira grabbed the other girl's hand and kissed it gently, her eyes gazing intently at Adele, imploring.

"Moira, not here," Adele blushed, "Besides, we need to follow them and call Master Oda." Adele retrieved her hand quickly, looking apologetically at the lust-filled eyes of Moira.

I know it's been a while, but still please R&R
