Edit: Document problem here. -slams head on desk harder- Should be fixed now

Moons: -slams head on desk- This is moving along so slowly, I'm sorry D:

Thanks so much for the reviews and even just for reading this. I feel loved. Sadly school is starting up again and like all other stories, it will be harder to update with homework and such. So don't panic if I take to long. I won't abandon the story.

Anyway, Nyamo's co-creator has changed her name yet again. On here, she's ImTtlyTheHero. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's Hetalia behind that name

I disclaim everything that isn't mine. I wish that didn't include a lot of things like kitties and the Akatsuki, but it does. Too bad.

"Z-zonbi?"

"Huh?" He sat down next to her, leaning against the wall. Joke was over.

"I was serious. Akatsuki wants you."

Zonbi didn't say anything at first. He looked up, not minding the rain for once. "...I know you were. I just didn't wanna think about it. So I made a joke." He shrugged. "Well, half a joke."

"Half?"

"You gotta get out of there."

"Why?"

"They're gonna brainwash you with some Akatsuki shit."

Nyamo almost smiled, but he was serious. It wasn't a joke anymore.

"Nothing bad so far." Nyamo explained. "They found us through their leader. He has powers like Yahiko, and was able to summon us like that. You felt it, didn't you? Like he was trying to contact you."

"...yeah. But I swear, it was shithead's chakra."

"It was...kinda. Half of his chakra came from the Leader of Akatsuki."

"Heh." Zonbi smiled a little. "So that's why he was taking charge. Asshole."

Nyamo sighed. "If your so sure...you should know I'm not alone."

His eyes widened. "They followed you?"

"No, it was a mission. There are four others looking for you right now, un."

"Dammit!" Zonbi cursed, throwing his head back and hitting the wall. He looked back at her. "Can you still meet up with me?"

"What?"

"I dunno, just fucking escape somehow and contact me."

"Why? I thought you were fine."

"I am. I kill. I get the money I need, plus more. I'm fine."

"Then why?"

"...It gets fucking lonely out here." He sighed. "That's why I need you. Your the closest I have to a friend."

Before she could say anything back Zonbi coughed for a few seconds.

"You okay?"

"...fine."

'Focus chakra on the eyes, then push it out. Don't think about it. Just imagine it blocking-'

*snap!*

The focus on the shield was lost and the kunai, instead of deflecting harmlessly like they were supposed to, shot out at where the sound came from.

Pein glared at the wall that now had four kunai pinned in it. "Don't interrupt us like that again. It's dangerous."

Su slowly showed her head as she came back through the wall. Her eyes were still wide open circles from almost being killed. "O-okay..." She mumbled. "Zetsu...just told me to practice..." She slide her head out easily and was gone.

Yahiko sweatdropped nervously. "S-sorry, Leader."

"It's alright." Pein said, standing up. "The Rinnegan is a powerful eye technique. It took me a long time to master it yourself. I understand you learn differently, but that doesn't change it's power. You can kill someone in seconds." He glanced back over at the wall. "Like Su."

"I realize that..." Yahika mumbled. "How long did it take you?"

"Years."

Yahika swallowed. Years...years he probably didn't even have. "I like Konan's ninjutsu better." He commented. "It's a lot easier."

"I'm sure it is."

"I gotta go." Zonbi said, standing up. Nyamo blinked, "Sure?"

"We can't be seen together. Look, if they catch us, they'll bitch at you for helping me and I'll get forced in. We're both fucked."

Nyamo stood up next to him. "Whatever, un. Just be careful to-"

She stopped when a figure fell in front of them. "D-danna."

Sasori looked over at Zonbi. "You're the Kakuzu-Hidan clone."

"Shut up." Zonbi glared.

"..."

"I was going to turn him in, Sasori-no-danna." Nyamo said suddenly. "but like I told you he doesn't want to. So I tried talking him into coming willingly."

Zonbi tore his eyes away from Sasori and just stared at her for a moment. Her face was like stone and she didn't look back.

'She didn't mean it. She didn't fucking mean it...she...wait, of course she didn't. She's lying so only I'll get in trouble and not both of us. Only fair. I'll do the same thing.'

He looked back at Sasori and blinked. Three others had suddenly showed up behind him.

He knew Sasori was Nyamo's, as much as he hated the fact. The one with bright blonde hair had to be Sasori's partner, considering Nyamo's 'little secret'. So the other two had to be his so called originals.

Instantly he hated them more than before.

He pointed a finger at them. "Which one of you is Hidan?"

"Me." Hidan answered and Kakuzu pointed to him, agreeing.

"Are you immortal, Hidan?"

Hidan blinked, then grinned widely. "Fuck yeah I am! Where'd you hear that?"

Zonbi gave him a death glare. Now he hated Hidan more than ever. Hidan seemed obvious to it.

"I read it." Zonbi answered him. "The files."

"You tore those up." Kakuzu said suddenly.

"Huh..." Hidan looked at his partner for a second, then remembered. "Oh yeah! That girl said you tore the files on us up! How'd you read it?"

"I read it before I tore it up, dumbass."

"Oh..."

"That girl..." Nyamo muttered darkly, fist tightening, blood vein starting to throb angrily in her forehead. No one really noticed.

"So, Zonbi right? You coming back with us, or what?" Hidan said grinning.

"No way in hell." Zonbi groaned.

"Told you so..." Nyamo mumbled, crossing her arms. However no one could really hear her.

Hidan thought for a minute and then added, "We'll pay you."

"Not interested."

"Dammit..."

"No big deal. Just do what you did to me, un." Deidara suggested. "We have a little duel Zonbi. You know, a fight."

"I'm listening."

Deidara continued, "Fight's one on one. If our side wins, you come with us, like it or not, un."

"And what about when I win?"

"You mean 'if' you win, un."

"No, I mean when I kick your ass." Zonbi crossed his arms.

Deidara frowned back, "Ok, if you manage to beat us...you can go away and we'll never bother you again."

"I want more than that."

"What the fuck!" Hidan almost yelled, "Seriously kid, your so greedy. What more could you want?"

"Your scythe."

Hidan blinked. "My...scythe?" He noticed Zonbi staring at it, most likely thinking of all the destruction he could cause with it.

"Deal."

"Kakuzu!" Hidan was ready to kick his partner where it hurt for that one word. "I can't replace this! This was specially made for me before I even became missing-nin! There's only one and-"

"So what, un? You're immortal."

"But it's my only weapon!" Hidan yelled. "It was specially designed for me to obtain blood for my jutsu!"

"You have a pike." Kakuzu reminded him.

"Wait, Hidan has a point, un."

"What?"

"Now that I actually think about it, it's like Kisame's sword. Nothing like it..."

The arguing went on between the three.

"Oh this defiantly makes me wanna join." Zonbi said sarcastically only loud enough for Nyamo next to him to hear. "Are they always like this?"

"Sadly yes." Nyamo answered flatly.

"Great. Just fuckin' great."

"Enough!" Sasori shouted, causing everyone to fall quiet. Kakuzu had his hands wrapped around Hidan's neck and Deidara frozen behind Hidan, hands reached for the scythe.

"Now if you're all done with your pointless arguing," Sasori said, "I think it's fair that Hidan fights Zonbi, considering it is his scythe. Besides, it's not like Hidan has lost a battle before."

Moons: Yes, next chapter there will be a fight with Hidan and Zonbi. Cause lets face it. Naruto without fighting is Yu-gi-oh without cardgames.
