"Hey Briana, have you seen Zetsu anywhere lately?" "You mean the guy who tried to eat me when I first joined the akatsuki?" Konan sweat dropped with a small smile. "Yep, that's him. He hasn't been showing up for his missions lately and their really starting to pile up." "No, but I'll keep a lookout for him." damn, and he was on my list for people to avoid. "Let's head down to the meeting room so we can see what mission we have. Maybe Zetsu will decide to show up today." "Right."

"-and that's all the missions we have for today. Also, has anyone seen Zetsu lately?" the akatsuki looked at one another. Zetsu was our secrete spy, so it wouldn't be exactly a piece of cake finding a spy. "Alright, just keep your eyes peeled for him, dismissed." I got up to leave, but Konan had stopped me. Please don't ask me that question, please don't ask me that question, please don't ask me that question, please don't, "Briana, I know I might sound paranoid, but could you look for Zetsu for me? I have a mission today but I'm worried sick about him." God dammit Konan! Why do you have to care for all the akatsuki and still sound so sweet? "Eheh, sure, of course. Anything if it keeps my friend happy." What? What am I saying? Ugh, forget it, I can;t say no to Konan even if I tried.

I stood in front of Zetsu's room fully armed. That's right, I had armor, if he tried to eat me again, I'd be prepared. I have my cookie tray on my back and front, and cooking pot in my hand and my weapons are a skillet and my trusty cookie jar. I wouldn't go down without a fight. I slowly turned the knob, the skillet already raised up and pushed it open. "Zetsu...are you in here?" I looked around and took a step in for better view. Something howled and I turned to the side swinging my skillet behind me and hit...the air. There was nothing there except a curtain flapping in the wind.

I went over to it and shut the window, the last thing we needed was bugs. I looked up and there was a giant venous fly trap leaned horizontally against a tree. What the hell? Wait! There's only one person I know with a giant venous fly trap. I dropped my skillet on the floor and ran outside to the garden. Well actually it's Zetsu's garden/feeding area, so the akatsuki just keep away from here.

When I got out there I could see his fly trap and his feet sticking out of a bush, he was probably sleeping, but that doesn't explain why he didn't just come back inside before. No one I've ever known has slept for five days straight, (lol, comment if you've ever done this!), so what was the deal? I pushed the bush aside and saw him sleeping in some girl's lap. Oh, so this was why...that sick pervert! I'd expect this from Zet but not Su! (When I first saw Zetsu, I thought they were twins, so I called the black side Zet and the white side Su, the Zetsu twins! =D) I paused with my cookie jar raised above my head, I did think she was an enemy ninja after all come to seduce Zetsu and kill him in his sleep, (not likely, but still possible).

We stared at each other for a long moment, not saying anything, "Hello." "Hi...um...do you think we could have Zetsu back?" "Of course, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to steal him from you! (.!)" "No, it's just-" Zetsu stirred and stretched upward, yawned, and then looked at me. Then very casually said, "Oh, hey Briana." "Zetsu, can I speak wit you for a minute?" "But-" "Okay we'll be right back." I pulled Zetsu off to the side, "Zetsu I'm doing this for your own sake, come back inside." "I don't wanna." "What? Why not? She probably came here to seduce you, kidnap you, then break your heart and eat your soul!" "Wait, what the fuck?" he yelled even though he was blushing, "Exactly, now come on let's go." I took his hand and started to walk, but he only pulled back, "I don't want to leave, she's my friend." "Ha! good one Zetsu, you can stop it with the act now, you can just go ahead and eat her, I don't have a problem with it." "No, really, she's , my friend and I'm not leaving." Zetsu turned from me, and went back to the woman.

So she's already seduced him and hypnotized him, I better go tell Leader her evil plan before it's too late! I ran off towards Leader's office as fast as I could.

"So your telling me, some forest nymph has seduced Zetsu, hypnotyzied him, and is scheming to eat his soul?" "Yes! Exactly!" Leader burst out laugh. I puffed out my cheeks and frowned, :This is no laughing thin Leader, Zetsu is in grave danger!" "Sure, sure. I'll talk with him and see if I can get him inside myself if it bothers you that much." he got up and left still chuckling. Whatever, he'll be sorry when he finds out I was right...

I was wrong.

Turns out Zetsu was out eating and ran into some forest nymph named Rose who wandered into his garden. They talked and became friends, Leader-sama laughed at when I looked embarrassed, can't people make mistakes? "I'm sorry if you thought I was stealing your friend, I'll leave if you want me to." She turned but I grabbed her arm, "No wait, I'm sorry, it's just that I'm kinda protective of my friends, so when I saw you I knida freaked. But everything's cool!" I gave her a smile. She looked unsure but gave me a smile back. "What are you talking about, we aren't_ACK!1" I elbowed him in the side so he could shut up. "Just consider this a big misunderstanding, okay?" We hugged and I quickly ran off, not wanting to see Zetsu's face right now. He was probably so pissed at me now.

"Hahahaha! I can't believe you thought Zetsu got seduced and then was gonna get his soul eaten, un! Hahahaha!" "Shut up Deidara-kun!" "I'm sorry Briana-chan, it's just so funny, yeah." I glared at him and gave him a small growl. "You two just called each other -kun and -chan...do you like each other?" Mikka questioned. "Ooooohhh, I smell love in the air!" Emi added. "Briana and Deidara sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g~!" Lyric teased. ":No! No! We're just friends (un)!" "Sure you are~." the three of them did not sound convinced as Sasori started to join in. I ran away blushing while Deidara said something and walked away I think, I was too busy thinking of how embarrassed I was.

Seriously, we're just friends!
