It's chapter 13 of Akatsuki Koro Marimo!
I feel like I've acomplished a lot since the first chapter. We've had 13 chapters of the Youthful pile of McLove and of Koro-ness, and we have had many faithful reviewers that continue to this day to review faithfully. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped Akatsuki Koro Marimo get to this.
I recently read a review where the reader asked if there would be a Koro/Itachi pairing, and I think I will take a vote on that. So keep checking my profile for the poll and cast your vote as soon as possible!
And now... Here is...

Chapter 13,
Hidan tries to convert Koro
Soon after Koro got bored of sitting and her legs fell asleep, she wandered off of Itachi's lap and wandered around the hideout in search of entertainment.
After wandering around the hideout for a while, Koro then happened upon Hidan. The Jashinist sat silently in prayer, his rosary clutched tightly in his hand. Koro wandered over to him, sitting down infront of him on the floor. She wanted to ask him what he was doing, but for some reason some sort of ninja common sense told her not to. Koro felt an odd sense of spirituality overtake her as she listened to Hidan's soft prayers as he whispered and moved his fingers to another bead on the rosary. But soon the prayers ended, and he opened his eyes and saw the little shinobi sitting very still on the floor, watching him.
He stared right back at her.
"What the hell do you want?" he asked.
"What were you doing, Hidan-sempai?" she asked, cocking her head to the side.
"Praying." he said, putting the beads back around his neck. Koro held out her hand, "Can I see it?" she asked. Hidan thought for a while, then took it off again and handed it to her, "You drop it, and I'll fucking kill you." he said. She took it from him and held it as if it would crumble in her hands. She studied the silver upside down triange in the circle and watched as it shone in the light.
"It's really cool!" she said, happily handing the rosary back to him.
Hidan took it from her. He remained silent for a while until he figured that he might as well ask.
"Koro... Are you religious?"
Koro said nothing, but just kinda stared at him.
They remained like that until finally, the small shinobi broke the silence.
"What's that mean?" she asked.
Hidan fell over and off of the couch, Koro still watching him but never once moving from her spot.
"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS KORO?!?!!! YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT RELIGIOUS MEANS?!?!!!" at this point Hidan's mouth was foaming at the mouth and freaking out.
"That's what I said..." she told him.
Hidan sighed deeply, then hid his face in his hands.
"But Hidan-sempai, what does it mean???" she asked, crawling over to him and pulling on his cloak.
"It means that you're faithful and commited to a religion." he said, not looking up at her.
"What's a religion?" she asked.
"DAMN IT KORO!!!!!"

At the sound village...
Orochimaru was cleaning Koro's room. Being seperated from his only child really did a number on him, so he figured he might as well keep busy. He tossed out all of the snake skins, and arranged all of her toys and clothes neatly.
"Orochimaru-sama?"
A knock on the door made the Sannin turn, and Kabuto walked inside.
"We've recieved word that Jiraiya has seen Koro and is trying to track her down..." the med nin shifted uncomfortably, "And... The bad news is that he was looking for Tsunade... There's no doubt in my mind that they'll try and take her..."
At this point, Orochimaru sank to the floor.
"We've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I've decided that we need to call this mission off..."
"No..." Orochimaru said softly. "I know my Koro... She won't be taken so easily... Koro Marimo can't be taken down that easily..."
Kabuto sighed.
Orochimaru looked to the side to see a small stuffed green snake that was soft to the touch. Around it's neck was a purple bowtie. He picked it up and sighed softly.
"My little Koro... She forgot her Snakey..."
back at the hideout...
"-and that's why we stab ourselves." Hidan concluded his big description with a huge sigh. Koro was sitting next to him on the couch and her head was still tilted to the side.
"So wait... Hidan-sempai... What's a sin?"
Hidan yelled then layed back into the couch.
"Koro what in the hell am I gonna do with you?!" he cried angrilly. She shrugged then burrowed into the folds of her cloak.
Hidan looked up from the couch and saw Koro burrowing. "What are you cold or something?" he asked.
"No..."
The Jashinist rolled his eyes, "Then go away..."
There was silence. But eventually Hidan began muttering into the couch cushions, talking about goats on fire or something randomish. He continued talking and babling for about ten minutes before Koro jumped on him.
"RODENTS!!!! OUT TO EAT ME STEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the little shinobi bounced around on Hidan screaming at the top of her lungs and then ran for the hills.
Normally, Hidan would have run tearing after little Koro ready to destroy, but after explaining to the little monster everything about religion and all of that other stuff he was beat.
"Someday..." he muttered, "Someday, but not today..."
