11 years previous.
Kakuzu-

The man managed to get away, and I stumbled into my cubby house and pulled out a needle and thread.
Before I sterilized the needle, I wrapped a bandage tightly around my stomach to limit the bleeding.
After sterilization, I attached the black thread to the needle, and dug it right through the skin at my wound.
Slowly, bearing the pain I managed to sew my stomach back together.
With some thread and a needle.
I wouldn't let myself pass out until I was done, but finally, totally exhausted- I collapsed.

Waking up, almost a day later, Naturally, I was hungry.
Searching through my cubby house's cupboards, I found only solid and dry food.
I figured it wasn't ideal with my stomach the way it was.
So I took my spare money off the table, and headed out to a supermarket.

Now, I'd done a lot of stupid things, rushing to find people to fight.
It way my duty as the next heir to my clan.
Occasionally, I would end up saving other people's lives because of it.
Not one of them has actually bothered tracking me down afterwards.
Well, anyway- I was a little surprised when a silver haired girl stepped in front of my trolley.
"Hi! Do you remember me? You saved my life a few days ago!" She spoke a little too fast.
I blinked, trying to recognize her.
Ah. She was the girl that was gonna get silenced by that man that sliced my stomach open.
"No, I don't remember you- sorry." I lied, trying to move forward, and hoping she'd get out of the way.
"Uh… Okay… I'm assuming you went to the hospital for your stomach. I'm surprised they let you out so early." She commented, only following me down the aisle.
"Yeah. They didn't like me." I told her, as she studied the items in my cart.
"Only getting light foods, hm?" she guessed.
I glared at her, but she remained oblivious.
"Say, what's your name?"
The questions kept coming.
"Kakuzu. Now if you DON'T mind, I'd REALLY appreciate it if you'd leave me alone!" I snapped.
"Kakuzu, huh? My name's Hidan. You have pretty eyes."
It's like she didn't even process things she didn't want to hear.
I pushed the trolley out to the checkout, and left as fast as I could.
Throughout the week, she remained persistent. It was like the girl was stalking me, because wherever I went, she was THERE. To annoy the crap out of me.
Eventually, I snapped.
The Hidan girl looked as though she'd just been shot, as I finished my shouting about her not leaving me alone, and her being so annoying I just wanted to kill her.
"Look! I'm only trying to be your friend. I OWE you my life!" She shouted in return.
"PLEASE, for the thousandth time… just LEAVE ME ALONE! What the hell do you want from me, huh?" I screamed.
Taking a deep breath, she gave me a serious look.
"A want you to tutor me."

End Flashback-_

Konan-

He went abnormally red for someone who had no blood, and apparently couldn't speak.
"Come on, pervert." I smirked.
He growled.
"This is sexual harassment!" He shouted.
"This is coming from a SERIAL KILLER!" I almost choked on my laughter.
"Touché…" Sasori spoke.
"Hey, I just realized. Why do we always end up in this position?" I asked.
"Except I'm not usually being forced to grope you." He commented.
I was about to speak, when I heard faint music.
I got off him, and walked over to the porch.
There was a massive dance festival going on.
"Aii! Awesome!" I squealed, as Sasori walked over to see what I was squealing at.
"What? All they're doing is dancing." He spoke.
"PLEASEPLEASECANWEGO!" I pleaded, turning to the redhead with stars in my eyes.
"Why? I'm not going down there!" Sasori told me.
I sighed, and looked out at the crowd sadly.
"Konan…?" Sasori spoke.
"What?" I kept my eyes on the festival.
He turned the speakers on by the sounds of it.
I turned to him questioningly.
He sighed and held out his hand.
"That… is a hand." I stated, with a smirk.
He ignored the comment, and gestured me over.
"Ohh? Second thoughts about cuddling?" I asked, walking over to him.
Sasori took my hand, and twirled me around.
"Aweee! Are you trying to cheer me up?" I asked, my mood ascending.
He said nothing, but let a smirk pass his lips.
"It's alright. I'm exhausted anyway." I lied, pulling him into a hug.
He seemed unsure about the friendly gesture.
Obviously, Sasori wasn't that much of an 'embrace' person, so hugs are practically foreign to him.
I smiled, retreating from the gesture, and twirling a strand of his bright red hair around my finger.
"I always had a thing for redheads…" I smirked.
His face flushed, and I gave him a weird look.
"You're a puppet, right?" I asked.
He nodded.
"How are you blushing?"
He blinked, and felt his face with his hands.
"Be right back…" He spoke, stepping into the bathroom.
I waited for a moment, before I heard him scream.
I knocked on the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He opened the door and pulled me onto his lips.
I blinked.
"What the hell?" I asked, then realized he had a look of panic over his face.
"I'm turning HUMAN again!" He shouted, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me slightly.
"What?" I asked.
He looked like he was having a panic attack.
"CALM DOWN!" I shouted, slapping him across the face.
"Ouch! What was that for?" He asked.
"Holy fuck, you are turning human…" I mumbled, then grinned.
"How about that cuddle?" I suggested.
He glared at me, rubbing his cheek.
"Okay, sheesh! Cranky pants…" I murmured.
He started pacing around, and I rolled my eyes, hopping into the bed.
"Good night, pervert." I spoke.

Kakuzu-
Now, you may be wondering what the hell is up with the flashbacks.
Well, let me say- that Kisame's explanation of Tobiko is left off screen, and will be revealed a little more to you through the flashbacks.
Sorry, it's really not my fault that the author is a bitch, and wants to leave you guys in suspense.

So, it was three and a half weeks since Sasori-M and Konan returned from the hot springs. Sasori refused to talk to anyone, and Konan wasn't talking to HIM, for some reason.
(Maybe she'll tell you why the next time the story is in her Point of view. The author will kill me if I told you.)

Kakuzu-M and Hidan-M were off on a mission, and I had no idea when they would be returning.
Anyway, It was the early morning, and I was sparring with Konan-F.
It was only two minutes in to our tai-jutsu spar, when I started feeling tired, and a little bit sick.
"Kakuzu? Are you alright?" Konan asked, stopping and walking over to me.
I nodded.
"Yeah, let me rest a second." I huffed.
She sat down next to me, and I sipped some water.
"Hey, I'm going shopping later. Are you due? Do you need any… womanly supplies?" She asked.
I furrowed my brows.
"Well, I was due just over a week ago… So yes, but if it drags up any longer, I'll have to see the doctor…" I spoke.
Konan stared at me blankly for a second or two.
"Maybe you should take a pregnancy test…" She suggested.

I nearly choked on my water.
"I'm not PREGNANT!" I laughed.
She said nothing and gave me an amused glance.
My laughter dyed down, and I stared at the grass miserably.

-
"Fuck." I spoke, staring at the two tests in front of me.
Two lines was bad. BAD. NOT GOOD. HORRIBLE.
"KONAN! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE, I SWEAR I'LL MURDER YOU IF YOU DON'T!" I cried.
I was talking about Konan-F, by the way- I forgot the mention the young Konan was helping Kisame-M out on a mission, as well.
"In a second!" She called from the next room.
"NO. NOW!" I cried.
A few seconds later, she flung open the door.
"What?" She asked.
"Close the door." I instructed, and she did so, clicking the lock before walking over to me.
I held both of the tests up for her to see.
All of the air escaped her, and she rubbed her eyes, trying to believe what she saw.
"That…That means p-positive…" She stammered.
"Kakuzu… will KILL me." I squeaked.
Konan-F hugged me sympathetically.
"It was nice knowing you." She smiled, jumping out of her skin as someone banged their fist on the door.
"Hey! I've been holding it for an hour, I get home and the bathroom's already taken! Get the fuck out already, or I'll piss on your bed!" I winced, recognizing Hidan-M's voice.
"ALRIGHT! GIVE US A SECOND!" Konan-F snapped.
"Us?" Hidan-M questioned, as I hid the tests under my jacket and opened the door.
Konan-F and I walked out, and he gave us the 'you're both fucking crazy' look.
"You are NOT to tell a soul." I told her, and she nodded.
"What is she not telling a soul about?" I actually screamed when I heard Kakuzu-M's voice in front of us.
This is the only time, I'll admit… I was scared shitless.
Konan-F's jaw dropped.
"Oh man, your day just gets worse." She told me.
"Nothing. Absolutely, positively no-" I started, but was cut off when…
"Hey! Why didn't you hoes just tell me Kakuzu was taking a pregnancy test? I would have just pissed outside!" Hidan-M stormed through the corridors, waving the… instruction booklet at us.

Bastard.
