Kira's POV

I rolled over and sighed before trying to go back to sleep. After few minutes of lying there I realized that sleep wasn't going to come back to me. I groaned in annoyance and looked at my alarm clock.

"6:20? Are you kidding me? Why did I wake up so early?" I groaned.

I sighed as sat up before forcing myself out of bed, "Might as well shower since I didn't last night," I thought to myself as I grabbed my towel as well as a change of clothes and went into the bathroom attached to my room.

I turned the water on and waited a few minutes for it to heat up before I hopped in. I reluctantly took a fairly quick shower since I wanted to clean the house up a bit before my parents arrived. After I was clean I turned off the water and jumped out of the shower. As soon as the water was off I heard a knock on the bathroom door.

"Yes?" I answered unsurely.

"Kira?" Zetsu called out, equally as unsure.

"Yes, I'm just getting out of the shower give me a minute," I told him while I quickly dried off.

I assumed he either was waiting or that he left because he gave no further response as I struggle to get dressed as quickly as possible. I fumbled with my jeans as I danced around the room on one foot trying to get my other leg into the denim death trap of clothing. I finally pulled them on and quickly slipped my shirt over my head. I smoothed my shirt out before I exited my bathroom.

"Sorry it took me so long," I said as I entered my room.

Zetsu was sitting at my desk with a book in his hands. He was looking at the pages with a small smile on his face.

My eyes widened as I realized what book he was reading, "Hey! Wh-where did you get that?!" I shrieked as I rushed over to him.

Zetsu looked at me and chuckled, "What is this?" He asked, holding up the book.

I frowned and attempted to snatch the book from him, "That is my journal from when I was a kid give it back!" I demanded as I attempted to obtain the book only to have him move it out of my reach.

"A journal huh?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, "I played with Tadashi today. He has gotten weirder since he started his studies. I don't think he likes being a priest. Maybe I can tell my daddy to make his dad stop pressuring him. I'm sure he would appreciate that," He read jovially.

I frowned, "Quit reading that! It's private!" I yelled as I dove for the book again only to come up empty handed as I fell to the floor.

He laughed, "What is so bad about this that you don't want me to read. It seems harmless to me. What's the big deal?"

"It's mine, and well there is some stuff in there that you shouldn't be reading!"

He smirked, "That just wants to make me read it more," he replied as he flipped through some of the pages.

I tried again to take the book from him but he stood up and held it over his head, and thus out of my reach. Suddenly his smile disappeared and he fell back into the chair.

"What is this?" he asked pointing to a page.

I frowned as I read the page, "This is what I was worried about."

He moved the book back so that he could read it, "I am going to Tadashi's trail today. My mom called last night; she says that her and my dad aren't going to be paying for my school anymore. I think it's because I'm testifying against Tadashi. I can still barely think about what happened that night. It still haunts me. The way he smiled as he recited the ancient text, the way my head felt like it was going to explode as the ceremony went on. I still have scars on my wrists from me trying to wriggle free from the ropes. Chiyoye hasn't talked to me in days. I think this has hit her harder than it has me. Ever since we were released from the hospital she hasn't said more than two words to me and those were, "I'm sorry." I know she blames herself for what happened," Zetsu read aloud, Black Zetsu taking over when White Zetsu couldn't read any further.

"That is why I didn't want you reading it," I said somberly as I took the book from him and placed it on the shelf.

Zetsu took a deep breath, "Who is Tadashi?"

I froze as images of his face flooded my mind, "I-he…He's…He's the one who performed the ceremony on me," I said.

"So he is your ex-fiancé?" Zetsu pushed.

I nodded, "Yes. I was always against it though. I never really felt for Tadashi the way he did for me. I guess that is why he hates Chiyoye so much. He thinks that it is her fault that I don't like him," I replied as tears began to form in the corners of my eyes.

"I'm sorry," Zetsu said softly.

"What?" I asked in confusion, wiping the tears off my face.

Suddenly Zetsu pulled me into a hug, "I said…I'm sorry. We shouldn't have read that when you were so clearly against it," Zetsu apologized.

I blinked in shock, unable to form a response. Zetsu held onto me for a few moments before letting me go. I could tell that he wasn't used to hugs by the awkward why he just pulled me into that one but it was the thought that counted.

I smiled, "It's fine, Zetsu. I guess I should have told you sooner. You have been asking for clarification as to what happened. I just…didn't want to bother you with this heavy burden," I replied as tears worked their way back into my eyes.

"I-I never meant to cause any harm. Uncovering secrets is what we were created to do. We can't help it," Zetsu replied with an upset frown.

I smiled somberly, "I know. I don't really blame you. I was going to have to face this again sooner or later. Besides now that I have embraced that part of my past, somehow he doesn't scare me as much. It's almost as if my head was building him up to be a bigger monster than he really is."

Zetsu frowned, "Your parents aren't much better."

I frowned and cocked my head to the side, "What do you mean?"

"They refused to help you once you turned against Tadashi? Why?"

I sighed, "Mainly religious politics. Tadashi was from the head priest's family and I was from the head priestess' family therefore we were pretty much paired together since birth. It didn't help that Tadashi fancied me," I replied.

"So they wanted you to be with him no matter what?"

I nodded, "Yup! They still want me to go back to him. Probably the whole reason they want to visit today, considering Tadashi gets out of jail soon."

"I'm guessing he is in jail because of what he did to you?"

I nodded, "Yes, but he didn't get as long as a sentence as he should have, mainly because it was hard to prove attempted murder via religious ceremony."

Zetsu frowned, "We'd better get downstairs before Himeko finds out about them coming."

I nodded, "Yeah, if she see them I'd hate to think of what would happen," I replied as I quickly made my way downstairs.

"About fucking time Psycho Bitch! I'm starving," Hidan growled as I entered the room.

"Good morning Hidan. Sure I will make you breakfast. Oh you are so welcome, there is no need for thanks," I replied sourly.

Hidan sent a glare my way, "Bitch."

"Fucking religious moron!" Chiyoye and I replied as we left the room to go into the kitchen.

I decided that the best option would be to make something quick so that I could be at the door at all times. I quickly fixed up some oatmeal and served it along with some brown sugar and syrup so they could season it to their liking. I also made some bacon on the side for Zetsu and Hidan, who I knew would prefer meat over any other kind of nourishment.

"Damn that was quick," Hidan remarked as I arranged the food on the table.

I smirked, "I work in a restaurant; I have to be fast," I replied.

Hidan frowned, "Then why are you so fucking slow most of the time?" He asked as he stuffed food into his mouth greedily.

I sighed and rolled my eyes, "It's not my job to cater to your every whim."

Hidan was about to respond when a knock at the door interrupted him. I rushed over to the door and quickly checked the peephole. I could see Tomiko standing impatiently outside with Kura clinging to her leg like a lost child. I sighed with relief and opened the door to let them inside.

Tomiko smiled thankfully, "Thank god. You have no idea how crazy she has been driving me! Every hour of the day she was going on and on about how her and Sasori needed to finish her puppet."

As if on cue Kura burst into the house, "Sasoriiiiiiii!" she shouted happily.

I quickly covered her mouth with my hand, "Shhh! It is like seven in the morning everyone but Hidan, Zetsu, and I are sleeping."

Kura frowned and moved my hand, "But Sasori doesn't sleep."

I frowned, "True but you are going to wake everyone up by shouting like that."

"Exactly you brat, shut the fuck up and have some courtesy," Hidan added as he got up to put away his plate.

Kura was about to protest when suddenly Sasori entered the room from the hall, "Morning," he said calmly.

"Sasori!" Kura cheered as she ran up to him.

Sasori smirked, "Hello Kura. I understand your excitement but try to keep it down. The others, namely Kakuzu, aren't too happy about you screaming so early in the morning," Sasori said soothingly.

She frowned and took a deep breath, "Okay Sasori…I'm just so super excited that we can finally finish my puppet!" She said with excitement overflowing her words.

Tomiko frowned, "Seriously, what witchcraft is this? How does he calm her down with a simple please?"

I shrugged, "He asked nicely? Not to mention his voice is calming," I supplied.

Tomiko sighed, "You have a point," she agreed with a sigh.

"Where is Usagi?" I questioned upon realizing that she had not entered the house with Kura and Tomiko.

"H-here," a soft voice called out followed by a dull thump of stuff hitting the floor.

I turned to see Usagi dumping several bags onto the floor in front of the door, "S-sorry it took me so long. Tomiko's stuff was so heavy," she explained as she shut the door behind her softly.

Tomiko frowned, "Hey! All of that junk is Kura's she said she needed all of her art supplies. Furthermore why did you bring in all our stuff? I was going to go out and get it later," Tomiko questioned.

Usagi frowned, "S-sorry…I just saw it all in there and I figured that you guys would want your stuff."

Tomiko sighed and grabbed her duffel bag from the entryway, "You are the surgeon not the pack mule," she replied with a smile.

Kura's eyes lit up as she bounded over to her stuff and grabbed two briefcases, "Yay! My supplies. I was running low here," Kura said happily as she effortlessly picked up both briefcases and ran them to her art room.

Usagi blinked in shock, "But those were at least twenty pounds each. I struggled with carrying just one," She stated with a face of complete shock.

Tomiko shrugged, "It's Kura. She is more than she seems."

After a few minutes Kura reemerged from the hallway and dragged Sasori to the table. Sasori reluctantly complied as he allowed himself to be dragged to the table.

"Kura I don't need to eat," he reminded her as he sat down next to her.

Kura giggled, "I know that silly. I just thought you might want some company since you always sit all by yourself when we eat," she replied as she served herself some oatmeal and proceeded to overload it with syrup and sugar.

After the third scoop of sugar Sasori intervened by pushing the bag out of her reach, "I think that's enough," he said sternly.

Kura frowned, "But I love sugar!" She protested as she attempted to grab the maple syrup, only to be intercepted by Sasori.

"True as that maybe others don't like it when you have that much sugar. Besides, it is bad for you," he countered.

"Aww, you got me there. But it's so tasty!" Kura replied with a pout lipped smile.

Sasori, intelligently, changed the subject, "What were in those briefcases?" he questioned.

Kura smiled as she mixed her sugar oatmeal mixture, "Well, I have loads of stuff, like paints, cloth, dyes, different kinds of paper, glitter, glue, streamers, stickers, paint brushes, palettes, and I think at least one little canvas."

Sasori blinked in shock, "Wow that is quite a lot."

Kura smiled, "Of course! I need to have every material I could possibly use to finish a creation."

I smiled as they continued to talk about different types of art and art styles. I turned to ask Tomiko a question but suddenly came face to chest with Zetsu.

"Whoa! Hey Zetsu," I said as I tried my best no to jump in shock.

He smirked, "Damn, almost gotcha," he chuckled.

I frowned, "What do you want you jerk?"

He frowned and held his hand over his heart, "Ow, what's with the hostility?"

I sighed, "I'm on edge. You should know that," I replied.

Zetsu frowned, "Don't worry, we will make sure your parents don't do anything."

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice behind me, "Kira's parents? What are you guys talking about them for?"

My eyes widened, "Shit! Uh…Tomiko! Hi…uh…hehehe…"

Tomiko sighed, "They are coming here aren't they?"

I nodded, "They called yesterday."

Tomiko sighed in annoyance, "Does anyone else know?"

I shook my head, "Only Zetsu and Tobi," I replied lowly.

She pulled out her phone and flipped it open, "Want me to take them out?"

My eyes widened in shock, "Wha-? No!"

Tomiko sigh in frustration, "Why the hell not? They are asses."

"Because they are still my parents!"

"Who attempted to force you into a marriage you didn't want. Among other things I am not too sure about," she countered.

"True but they are still my parents," I replied.

"Whatever, I'm gonna hate to be you when they do show up," Tomiko said with a sigh as she put her phone back.

I sighed with relief as she walked over to the table with Usagi in tow so they could eat, "That was close."

I sighed and turned to Zetsu, "Is anyone else awake?" I asked absent mindedly, more so because I wanted to get my mind off my parents than that I was actually interested.

Zetsu shrugged, "Your guess is as good as mine; though I believe that Tobi may be awake I can go check," he offered.

I shrugged, "If you want I was more so asking to change the subject."

Zetsu nodded and disappeared into the floor, "I wonder what that's like," I wondered to myself.

"Probably really closterphobic." Chiyoye replied.

"Morning grumpy ass," Tomiko joked, breaking me from my thoughts.

I turned to see who she was talking about and saw a very grumpy and slightly disheveled Kakuzu shuffling into the room lazily. Whereas normally his clothes would all be neat and orderly, this morning they were wrinkled and somewhat sloppily put on his body.

He sent a glare Tomiko's way, "Shut up moron," he growled in annoyance.

Tomiko frowned, "Jeez, someone is a fucking grumpy ass. Who the fuck pissed on your money pile?"

Kakuzu sighed in annoyance, "I don't know, probably the little brat who woke me up at this ungodly hour," He snarled while he shot and glare Kura's way.

Kura frowned and hid behind Sasori as much as he would let her, "Sorry Kakuzu," she murmured softly.

Tomiko rolled her eyes, "Seriously? At least you didn't have to get up two hours before this only to hear the same kid rant about how much she was looking forward to spending the night at Kira's house. And then on top of that having to drive said kid to the house she was so excited to go to and hear her yell and rave about how much fun she was going to have. I seriously think I lost some precious years of my life just from this morning," Tomiko countered.

Kakuzu huffed in annoyance, "You choose to live with her, I do not," he pointed out as he served himself food.

"Can't we all just get along?" I pleaded.

Kakuzu sent a glare my way, "Get along with these idiots? I'll just be happy when we can leave," he barked at me angrily.

I shrunk back, "S-sorry…Hey shut the fuck up and stop being such an asshole. I mean goddamn, go back to bed if you are going to be so damn grumpy!" I apologized before Chiyoye went into protection mode and cussed Kakuzu out.

Kakuzu glared at Chiyoye with disinterest before turning back to his food. I sighed with relief as Chiyoye backed down and let me take control again.

I frowned and turned to Hidan, "Is your partner always such a bright ray of sunshine?"

Hidan shook his head, "Not normally, I mean you've seen the guy. Usually only I piss him off that much. Something must have really set the guy off," Hidan replied.

"Someone was yelling this morning and when they finally shut up that brat came into the damn house yelling," Kakuzu explained grumpily.

I frowned, upon realizing that he was probably referring to Zetsu and me as the ones who were yelling this morning. I hadn't meant to yell but when someone you hardly know is reading a book containing your darkest secrets you tend to get upset.

"Sorry Kakuzu, I didn't mean to be so loud," I apologized timidly.

Kakuzu raised an eyebrow, "Thought it was you, you always wake up really early, just like that moron," he replied as he pointed to Hidan.

I frowned, Hidan always was the first awake besides Zetsu and me but I was starting to think that Zetsu never slept by the way he has become my alarm clock/ morning buddy. I was accustomed to waking up early due to my early morning religion studied from back when I was a kid. Hidan was religious too so maybe him waking up early had something to do with his religion.

"Maybe it is a religious thing," I supplied.

Hidan frowned, "What are you talking about Psycho Bitch?"

"Well, I was raised in a very religious home where I had to get up early constantly either for religious studies or for sermons. Not to mention I had classes to go to. So maybe we both wake up early because of that," I explained.

Hidan shrugged, "Maybe but I didn't get into Jashinism until I was an older teen," he replied.

"True but what do you do when you wake up?"

"Usually pray, then I see if anyone else is awake. If not I usually try to connect to Lord Jashin to explain the lack of sacrifices," He explained.

I nodded, "See? Religious reasons!"

"What about Zetsu?" Kakuzu questioned.

I shrugged, "I'm not so sure he needs sleep…I think he spends the night roaming around the house trying to spy on people," I replied nonchalantly.

Hidan laughed, "Seriously? How can you say that without freaking yourself out? You are a weird one Psycho Bitch," Hidan laughed.

I frowned, "Eh, I have encountered worse in my life. Which is sad considering you are all murderers…oh well at least I'm not boring," I said with a shrug.

A sudden knock at the door snapped my attention from the conversation. I was about to go answer it when the door suddenly flung wide open and Yumi burst into the room.

"YAY! I'm not sick anymore!" she cheered happily.

Hisa sighed and followed her inside, "It is still early Yumi try to keep it down," she chastised.

"But I'm not sick! Everyone should be awake to celebrate this!" Yumi protested.

As if on cue Kisame and Itachi came walking into the room. Kisame donned a sleepy expression and Itachi with his usual uncaring one. Both of them sat down at the table without acknowledging the others before they started eating.

Yumi grinned so wide I thought she might be the Grinch, "Itachi! My smexy weasel! Did you miss me?" She asked with excitement as she bounded over to the table.

Itachi looked at Yumi with his usual uncaring eyes before he pointed to the empty chair next to him, "Do you want to sit?"

Yumi's eyes lit up with excitement as she happily took his offer, "I missed you my smexy weasel! I was sick, otherwise I would have visited you guys. Being sick sucks," Yumi said with a pout.

"Taking care of sick people sucks," Hisa said with a pout.

"Hey! I wasn't as bad as Tsukiko was! At least I never asked you to bathe me in blood," Yumi countered.

Right on cue Tsukiko burst into the house carrying three small bags, "Why did I have to empty the car?" she whined.

"Because you were a horrid patient and there were only three small bags between all of us," Hisa replied.

Tsukiko frowned as she threw the bags to the floor, "That isn't a good reason! Humf, you're a slave driver," Tsukiko complained.

Hisa simply rolled her eyes and ignored Tsukiko's complaining, "How have things been while we were gone?"

I shrugged, "Pretty normal…except when Zetsu and the others attacked the mail man," I recalled.

Hidan frowned, "That asshole was carrying a package that had chakra coming out of it. It was to protect you. See if we ever do that again Psycho Bitch," he said in his defense.

"Wha-? Seriously I missed that? No fair!" Yumi exclaimed in annoyance.

"You also missed my little prank!" Himeko said happily as she skipped down the stairs.

I turned to face her, "Oh! Hi Himeko, when did you wake up?"

"Earlier, I just didn't feel like coming down stairs," Himeko replied as she skipped to the table and began eating.

Yumi frowned, "What prank are you talking about?"

Himeko smirked, "You'll see when Zetsu shows up. Speaking of which, where is he?"

I shrugged, "He said he was going to go look and see if the others were awake."

"I wonder what is taking him so long," I wondered to myself.

"Maybe he stopped to talk to Tobi about something," Chiyoye supplied.

"Maybe…but what?"

"What they are planning to do about your parents?"

"I hope they aren't planning anything to drastic."

"I hope they plan to kill them," Chiyoye said with a wicked smile on her face.

"Not funny."

"Wasn't meant to be. Those assholes put you through hell."

"But I still love them! They are my parents no matter how awful they might have been."

"They tried to get you to marry someone who tried to kill you!"

"It is what they thought was right."

"Right or not they should have wanted to protect you from him not make you marry him!"

"SLAM!" the sound of the front door jolted me from my thoughts.

"Oh crap…I'm dead," Is all that came to mind when I saw Himeko standing at the front door.

"Himeko who was that?" I asked, slightly shaking in fear.

She let out a huge huff of air before turning to me with a creepy, fake smile on her face, "Is there something you wanted to tell me Kira?"

I gulped, "Um…w-well…you see…I uh…hehe, surprise?" I said timidly.

Himeko took in a shaky deep breath, "Everyone who is in the Akatsuki get out," she said sternly, her entire façade falling to pieces.

Just as Himeko was freaking out Zetsu entered the room with Tobi in tow, "What happened?" Zetsu asked in confusion.

I was about to answer but Himeko cut me off, "Well, my second in command decided it would be a good idea to hide the fact that her parents were coming to our house today!"

I gulped, "Uh..I," I began but was cut off by a single terrifying glare from Himeko.

Himeko turned to the table to see the Akatsuki members, all of which had now assembled at the table, "I guess that happened while we were talking," I guessed.

"We really should pay more attention to our surroundings when we are talking."

"Yeah…."

Himeko glared at all of them, "GO! Now! We have visitors who can't see you people now go hide in the hallway," she commanded.

"Why the fu-" Hidan began but was instantly stopped by Hisa who slapped her hand over his mouth.

"Unless you want her to kill you just listen. She is not the same Himeko that skips around the house and plays pranks," Hisa warned as she pulled him towards the hallway.

The other members, taking Hisa's advice left the table and followed her to the hallway. After a few minutes everyone except for Tobi and Zetsu were gone. Hisa sighed as she came back into the room, looking more serious than usual.

"Himeko, what is going on?" Hisa asked in confusion.

"Kira's parents are at the fucking door. That's what's going on," Himeko snapped bitterly.

I shrunk back, "S-sorry…I was going to tell you I just didn't know how to without you um…well losing it."

"Well how did hiding it work for you?" Himeko asked in annoyance.

"Not too well obviously," I replied.

Kura looked at Himeko in confusion, "So Himeko is leader?"

Himeko sighed, "Damn it, well there goes the secret, oh well, I have more important matters to attend to," she said as she pulled out a pair of scissors.

"What are you going to do with those?"

"Cut their breaks."

"Wha-?! B-but you'll get caught," I protested.

Himeko frowned, "You have a point, then maybe I could invite them in and then kill them," she pondered.

I sighed, "Could we possibly just see what they want?"

Hisa and Yumi growled, "No way! They deserve to die!" They shouted in unison.

Tobi looked at Himeko for clarification, "What happened between Kira and her parents?"

Himeko frowned, "Bad stuff. Her parents are worse than scum," Himeko replied with an angry growl.

I sighed as I heard my parents pounding on the door, "Let us in my dear!"

I looked towards Himeko with pleading eyes, "Please, let's just hear them out. You know that they aren't going to go away until we do," I reasoned.

Himeko sighed, "That may be true but I did call that idiot at the police station this morning upon Hisa's request. Perhaps he can entice them into leaving. Oh! By the way, thank you for the warning Hisa, the station was in fact planning a raid on our house. Your intuitions have never led us astray."

Hisa blinked in surprise, "You are welcome Leader. I couldn't ignore my feelings," she responded respectfully.

Himeko nodded, "I'm glad you didn't. As for your parents Kira, they can stay as long as they cause no issues."

I nodded obediently, "I will make sure they are well behaved. Tobi and Zetsu would you mind going and hiding with the other members?"

Zetsu frowned but nodded, "Alright, just call us if you need me to eat them," He said with a toothy grin before going to hide with the others.

Tobi reluctantly nodded, "I will be watching from afar," He said sternly before following Zetsu.

I took a deep breath before I opened the door, "Hello mom and dad," I said as I forced a smile to my face.

"Ah! Hello sweetheart. We thought you were going to ignore us! Especially after your friend so rudely slammed the door in our faces," my mom exclaimed as she wrapped me in a hug.

Himeko frowned, "You're lucky that is all I did," she grumbled.

My dad sent a glare her way as he entered the house behind my mother, "Oh dear Kira I commend you befriending such lost souls."

I raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"

"It is quite obvious that your friend has lost the lord and this is why she acts so uncouth," My father replied.

Himeko glared at him, "Oh? What's your excuse mister order a raid on my daughter's house?"

"We heard that there were some men in our sweet Kira's house so we figured we would assist her by sending some police," my mother replied with a kind smile.

I frowned, "How would sending police to my house be useful or helpful?"

"Because sweetie. You belong with Tadashi and if there were other men in your house that must mean that they are here against your will. We are only looking out for you," My mother replied soothingly as she cupped my chin in her hand.

I sighed in frustration, "I'm not in love with Tadashi! I never was and I never will be! So back off goddamn it!"

My mother's eyes widened in shock as she tore her hand away from my face, "Kira! That demon is still in your body," my mother exclaimed in disgust.

"Chiyoye," I replied shortly.

"What?" My mom wondered in confusion.

"Her name is Chiyoye," I clarified.

My mom opened her mouth to say something but thinking better of it she simply shook her head in disapproval. I could feel Himeko's anger growing exponentially as each second of the conversation passed. I had to find a way to calm her before she lost her cool.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked kindly.

My mother's disapproval disappeared, "Oh, we came to see our dearest daughter," She said happily as she wrapped me in a hug.

I frowned, "It is nice to see you too mom but I know that isn't why you came here," I replied as I gently pried out of her grip.

My mom frowned in reply, "Why would you think we were here for any other reason?" my father asked.

I sighed, "I need to play along with their game if I want to know why they're here," I thought to myself dejectedly.

"But you know why they are here. They want you to get with Tadashi," Chiyoye responded bitterly.

"Yes, but I think there is another reason. I mean they did call in their police favor. It has to be important if they were willing to do that," I countered.

"True, alright I guess we will have to play along."

"That means you have to stay out of the conversation."

"What? No fucking way!" She exclaimed angrily.

"You know how they feel about you. They would never reveal their true purpose if they thought you were listening."

Chiyoye sighed, "Fine. You win."

I snapped back to reality to find my parents staring at me awkwardly, "Honey are you alright?" my mom asked cautiously.

Hisa sighed in frustration, "We told you she is probably just getting Chiyoye under control," Hisa explained in annoyance.

"And we keep telling you that this Chiyoye person doesn't exist! It is a demon that has invaded our daughter's body," My father shot back angrily.

I quickly stepped in between the two before something broke out, "Sorry to frighten you mom and dad. Hisa was right I was trying to control Chiyoye," I explained quickly.

My father sighed, "Honey, that demon doesn't have a name."

"Yes she does. She only calms down if she is referred to by her name," I explained/lied.

My mother smiled, "Oh such a smart child you are! You found out how to tame that wretched beat inside you!" She exclaimed happily as she wrapped me in another hug.

"I am sorry for frightening you mom," I replied with a smile.

She released me from her hug and looked me up and down, "Hmm, have you been eating right? You look a lot thinner," she said with worry in her voice.

I nodded, "Y-yeah, I've just been working a lot and finals were a few weeks ago so I have been moving around a lot," I replied.

My dad frowned, "Speaking of work I heard from one of the people at the station that you intend to work for the homicide unit."

I frowned, "Well, yeah but how is that of any concern of yours?" I questioned.

My dad sighed heavily, "Kira, you know we love you but I cannot allow you to work in such an environment," my father explained.

Himeko frowned, "I'm sorry but you have no say in the matter," she replied calmly.

My father sent a glare her way, "Who says that you do?! I am simply looking out for my daughter's best interests. Women shouldn't be working around so many men, it distracts them and makes their minds and loyalties wander," he said sternly.

"Dad!" I shouted in shock.

My dad focused on me, "I'm sorry sweetie but those are the facts of life. Women cannot control their desires if they are around that many men. I am afraid you might be disloyal to Tadashi," My father replied.

Hisa laughed, "You're joking right? It is statistically more likely for likely for men to cheat. Granted it is only about a 4-5% difference and that is only counting those who actually admit it but the fact remains," she replied with a smirk.

My father turned towards Hisa in anger, "Are you saying that the female race is stronger than the male race?"

Hisa frowned, "Well it really depends on which kind of strength you are talking about. Physically, males are the stronger of the two genders simply because their bodies are built with a higher percentage of muscle mass. Emotionally females tend to be the stronger gender, this is also true when it comes to pain tolerance, considering females are meant to give birth. Then again pain tolerance varies from person to person and it is hard to measure completely scientifically," Hisa replied nonchalantly.

I couldn't help but laugh at her complete and utter trolling of my dad. Especially since it was working just like she wanted it to, my father had switched his focus from me to her.

My dad took a deep breath to calm himself before opening his mouth to reply, "Eve was the one who took the fruit of knowledge," he replied calmly but with anger creeping into his voice.

Hisa smirked, "Unless you believe in the big bang theory and evolution. Both of which have loads of scientific evidence to back them up. More so evolution than the Big Bang but they still are supported by science. But for arguments sake let's say that I do believe in creationism. Even if Eve did take the fruit of knowledge, she was able to convince Adam to take it as well so doesn't that make him at just as much fault? I mean God did cast BOTH of them out of the sacred garden," Hisa retorted.

I could see my father's face getting red with anger and I was half expecting steam to comically shoot from his ears. He turned away from Hisa in frustration and put his attention back to me.

"That's right dear, just ignore her, she is not worth your time. She is unholy," My mother consoled as she patted his shoulder.

Hisa scoffed, "Oh damn guess I'll see you in hell then," she shot back.

My mother spun to face her, "How dare you insinuate such a thing! My husband and I are loyal servants of the lord and he will welcome us into salvation!"

Yumi frowned, "Dang, I guess your god just doesn't like you Kira."

I frowned, "You guys…" I tried to reason but it was no use.

"The lord loves all of his followers! Especially Kira, she was chosen by our lord to be the new priestess. She only needs to acknowledge this and take her rightful position," my mother shot back.

Tsukiko smirked, "So he told you guys to force her to marry a man who tried to kill her because she is loved by him? Dang I would hate to see what would happen if he hated his subjects. At least Lady Patriea gives her loyal followers love and protection. Hell, even Lord Jashin, lord of stabbing people, gives his loyal followers immortality! Your lord makes people marry their own murderers," she countered jovially.

"Oh shush you uncultured heathen! Your god is horrible and unloving!" my mother said angrily.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Tomiko warned absentmindedly.

"Oh hush you whore! That's right! I know what you do to get all of your money! You should be ashamed of your filthily whore self!" my dad spat bitterly.

Tomiko glared at him, "Oh shut up, like I need advice from a man who tries to have his daughter marry someone she hates," Tomiko replied.

"As if your parents were much better. According to the police files I read they were stars in the racketeering business. Not to mention forcing their way into office through bribery and blackmail," my dad replied slyly.

Tomiko clenched her fist, "You have one second to shut up before I shoot you right where you stand. I swear to god no one will find your bodies once my men are done with them. You will feed the fish for years to come," She threatened lowly.

My father smirked, he had gotten the exact reaction he had wanted, "See? This is the kind of trash you associate yourself with Kira? Why do consider such filth your friends?"

"Shut up," I said lowly.

My dad laughed, "What was that? You realize that it is only because we are kind that you are not being dragged to our house for your marriage to Tadashi right?"

I looked up at him in fear, "What?!"

"Oh yes, we worked out a few things and we were able to get him out a few days early on good behavior. Isn't that great dear?" My mother explained enthusiastically.

"But-! He tried to…I don't understand why you would do something like that!?" I shouted in shock.

"Because my dear, you must marry him. Those are the rules. It is destiny my dear. The lord has foreseen you two together. That is why Tadashi was allowed to pull that monster out of you," My father replied coolly.

My eyes widened in fear, "Y-you…you knew that he succeeded?"

"Of course we did my dear, we also know that the beast tried to kill you as she exited your body. Do not worry though, Tadashi has found a way to kill her before he pulls her out. This means you will be fine after she is extracted," My dad replied.

I stared at my father in absolute fear. I couldn't move, I couldn't talk, I could barely even hear.

"Kira! Kira ca- d-n! It is al-ht! He can't h-t us!" Chiyoye's voice tried to console me but her voice was too fuzzy to hear properly.

"He's back. He's back. He's back," I repeated over and over in my head as I felt reality slip away.

"Kira calm yourself! It is alright!" Chiyoye tried to no avail to calm me.

"It is nice to see that you are finally submitting to me Kira my love," a familiar male voice said, sending chills down my spine.

"T-Tadashi!" I thought in fear.

"Oh my sweet, don't be so surprised," Tadashi's voice cooed.

"L-leave me alone!" I shouted in fear.

"Oh don't be afraid my pet, that thing will soon be out of you," Tadashi's voice purred.

"N-no!" I shouted in fear as I tried to escape, only to realize that there was nowhere to run.

"Shhhhhh, my love. It will all be over soon," Tadashi's voice reassured as a sharp pain tore through my abdomen.

"You're a fool. Kira can't survive without Chiyoye you idiot. Her body needs both souls in order to function," I heard Himeko's voice say in the distance.

I blinked, "It hurts! Make it stop hurting! I need to escape, I need to...no! I need to help Himeko. Even if he is back and I'm terrified," I thought to myself as I shook in fear.

I closed my eyes and forced my thoughts back into the recesses of my mind, "No, Kira my love stop! You are hurting me," Tadashi's disembodied voice cried in pain as his voice slowly faded with each word.

As Tadashi's voice faded as did the pain in my abdomen. I sighed with relief and forced my eyes back open. Thankfully the only danger in the room were my parents and they were more of an annoyance than anything.

"How dare you say Kira needs that monster! You are the worst of her friends. You have always pushed Kira away from her responsibilities! Kira has no use for someone as blasphemous as you in her life. My biggest regret in life is not letting our police connections kill you when we had the chance," My father shot back at Himeko bitterly.

Before I could stop myself I reached out and slapped my father across the face. The whole room froze as the stinging sound of the slap reverberated through the room. I could gasps as my dad clutched his cheek and turned towards me in shock and anger.

"How dare yo-" my dad began.

"Shut up! You shut the hell up!" I shouted, cutting off my dad.

"Kira! Don't speak to your father like that!" my mother chastised.

"Both of you shut the hell up. I can deal with you trying to force me to marry Tadashi, I can deal with you insulting me, hell I can even handle you insulting my other friends. What I cannot handle and will not tolerate is you saying anything, and I do many anything, bad to or about Himeko. Himeko was my first friend in a world that rejected me simply because I had Chiyoye inside of me. Himeko was the first person who knew about Chiyoye and didn't want to get rid of her! She accepted me and never once wanted to change me for anything but the better, like making me stand up for myself. I won't allow you to come into MY house and say such horrible things about the most important person to me! If you continue to dishonor her name by saying such horrible things than you are no longer welcome here," I ranted in anger.

My father growled in anger and moved his hand to prepare to slap me. My eyes widened in shock but I forced myself not to flinch as his hand came towards my face. I shut my eyes just before it impacted.

Suddenly a low growl forced me to open my eyes out of curiosity, "I think it is about time you left. We are under orders to protect these girls. We cannot let you touch them with such fifthly hands," Zetsu growled in anger.

"Z-Zetsu?" I asked in shock.

Zetsu ignored me as he focused his attention on my father. I could see the anger and hatred in his eyes as he gripped tightly onto my dad's wrist.

"Let go of me you monster!" My dad shouted in anger and fear.

"Shut up old man," Zetsu said bitterly as he gripped my dad's wrist even tighter.

Suddenly a dull snap rang out from my dad's wrist as Zetsu increased how tightly he held him. My father cried out in pain as the dull snap turned into several sharp popping sounds.

"Honey!" My mother cried in horror, "Put him down you monster," she shouted at Zetsu.

Zetsu turned his glare towards her, "I'm the monster? I'm not the one who basically sentenced my daughter to a death sentence to please some stupid religious council," Zetsu growled in disgust.

"Zetsu…let them go they aren't worth the trouble," I said softly as I reached out to touch his arm.

He looked over his shoulder at me and smiled slightly, "Are you sure? I could eat them! I would take the fall for the team by eating such disgusting humans," he replied somewhat jovially.

I smiled slightly, "I think it would be pretty hard to explain that they were eaten."

Zetsu sighed, "Good point. Fine, out the trash goes."

"Tobi wants to help take out the trash!" Tobi said happily as he skipped over.

"Kira! How many men do you have in this house? Why are they all so odd? What is going on here?!" My mom asked in confusion.

"Good-bye Kira's mom!" Tobi said happily as he grabbed her.

"Put me down!" she shouted in anger as he opened the door.

"Okay! Tobi will listen cause Tobi's a good boy!" Tobi said happily as he threw my mom out the door.

Zetsu followed after Tobi and threw my father after my mom, "Stay out. I won't be as kind next time," he warned.

My dad glared at them as he cradled his probably broken wrist and walked to the car as my mom consoled him. I sighed and shut the door behind them.

"Well…that was…interesting," I said slowly.

"Thank you," Himeko said shortly.

I frowned in confusion, "For what? Lying to you, letting my parents in, or allowing them to insult everyone including you?" I replied.

She wacked me on the head, "For defending me you dummy. Stop putting yourself down all the time," She said with a smile.

"Yeah! Kira-chan was so awesome! You got even angrier at your parents than you did at Tobi when I burnt your kitchen!" Tobi replied enthusiastically.

Hisa laughed, "Yeah, I have to say that it is rare to see you that pissed. I mean I don't know if I have ever seen you hit someone! Out of anger I mean," she said in awe.

I rubbed the back of my neck, "W-well I had to defend Himeko's honor. It is my duty," I replied sheepishly.

"Damn Psycho Bitch, I didn't think you had something like that in you," Hidan said with a laugh as he walked into the room, followed by all the others.

"Thanks? I think," I replied in confusion.

Hidan smirked, "Take the compliment I don't give them out often you know," he replied cockily.

"I feel like I forgot something important, like really important," I said slowly.

"Um…a fucking explanation as to when Himeko was the fucking leader?" Tsukiko suggested bitterly.

I winced, "Riiiiiiiight….would you believe religious ceremony?" I asked hopefully.

Tsukiko frowned, "I'm not an idiot."

"Hmm, debatable but you aren't going to fool the rest of us Kira," Tomiko replied.

"I'm not an idiot you bitch!" Tsukiko screamed.

Tomiko sighed, "Oh? Then why on earth would you ask for clarification on something Himeko clearly wants kept a secret? I feel that that is only something an idiot would want the answers to," Tomiko countered.

Tsukiko froze, "I-but-damn it! Fuck you, I'm curious!"

Hisa sighed, "Best to just leave it be for now. Yes Himeko is the leader but this changes nothing," Hisa explained sternly.

Tsukiko frowned, "Fine," she agreed with a pout.

"Besides, how did you not figure it out? I mean who else could have been the leader? Kira?" Yumi asked.

I frowned, "I could be leader!"

"Yeah no. I think Chiyoye would be a better leader than you," Yumi protested.

I hung my head, "What? I could be leader no one would suspect it! I'm tough!"

"As a pet bunny," Himeko said jovially as she pat me on the head.

"Damn…not even my own leader thinks I'm intimidating," I said somberly.

"True, but you make a better second in command," Himeko replied.

"Yeah I guess you're right. So what do we do now?" I questioned.

Himeko shrugged, "I don't know. I'm pretty sure your parents are gone and thanks to Hisa we don't have to worry about the police come here."

"Hold on, how did Hisa know that there was going to be some sort of attack on the house?" Kisame question suddenly.

Hisa frowned, "Well, I had a bad feeling about something bad happening after I had a nightmare last night. So I called Himeko just in case," Hisa replied.

Suddenly a pillow went sailing through the air and hit Hisa directly in the face, "You jerk! Why didn't you tell me about your dream!?" Yumi shouted.

Hisa looked at Yumi with regret, "Sorry, I didn't want to worry you!"

"That doesn't matter!" Yumi shouted as she threw more pillows and couch cushions towards Hisa.

Hisa tried her best to dodge but, like Hisa, Yumi was an expert marksmen when it came to throwing weapons.

"Yumi I really am sorry!" Hisa shouted as she dodged the last of the pillows.

Yumi pouted, "Doesn't change the fact that you didn't tell me! We're sisters we have to tell each other everything!" she exclaimed.

Hisa held her hands up in defeat, "Alright, you win, you're right I should have told you. I just didn't want you to have to worry about it, especially if it didn't happen," she explained.

Yumi frowned and stuck out her lower lip, "Okay, but you'd better tell me next time!"

Hisa smiled wearily, "Alright, alright I will, I promise."

"YAY!" Yumi exclaimed as she forced Hisa into a hug, "We have each other's back so we can kick ass for each other!"

Hisa laughed, "Hey Hisa," Kisame said, breaking up the laugher.

"Hm? What is it Kisame?" Hisa questioned.

Kisame thought for a moment before speaking, "Your dream, was this the first time it has happened?"

Hisa frowned in confusion, "Uh, well no, but they are just bad dreams, why do you ask?" Hisa replied.

Kisame frowned and studied the twin for a moment before sighing heavily, "No reason I was just curious about something," he replied.

Hisa looked at him in confusion for a moment before shrugging it off, "So are we going to just ignore that Himeko is the real leader?" Kura asked suddenly, her childish façade slipping slightly.

Himeko turned to her, "It's not important. I have always been the true leader, nothing is really going to change," she explained.

Kura frowned and turned to me, "So you knew?"

I smiled sheepishly, "Yes, and I would have told you but like Himeko said it wasn't of importance and well, you don't exactly keep secrets well," I tried to explain as kindly as possible that she was unreliable.

Kura groaned in annoyance, her façade completely falling apart, "Oh so just cause I prefer to act like a child I'm not reliable enough to be trusted with the identity of our leader?"

Sasori's eyes widened, "What the hell?"

Tomiko smirked, "She is three years younger than your true age. She can act like an adult when she wants to."

I shrugged, "Well, yeah that is the exact reason."

"I'm older than everyone here…excluding maybe Tomiko, how can you not trust my judgment! I can be just as mature if not more so than you!" Kura argued.

I sighed and massaged the side of my head, "The main point is that you never act mature. If you weren't told Leader's identity it is because she did not entrust you with that information. Now that you do know I trust that you will show that you can keep her identity secure," I replied.

Kura groaned, "Yeah I can keep it secret. Far better than she did! I'm not just going to blow up when some people I don't like show up."

"Hey! Enough, apologize now!" I ordered.

Himeko frowned, "I will admit that I didn't hold onto my temper as much as I should have. However, if you knew the entire story behind Kira's parents I doubt you would have been able to keep your cool."

Kura frowned in confusion, some of her façade returning, "Hm? What full story?"

I frowned, "It isn't important. Just know that Himeko is not to be messed with and she is to be listened to above all else," I replied sternly.

Kura sighed and retreated into her façade, "Yes, Mommy. Sorry Leader Himeko," she apologized obediently.

I sighed, "Sorry Himeko."

Himeko shrugged, "It was interesting to see her act her age for once. Now that that is out in the air, any more questions?"

"Do all of you guys have alternate personalities un?" Deidara asked.

I frowned, "No not all of us, just a few of us. Normally you guys would have no idea about any of this but I guess it is hard to hide things like this from people who live with you. It doesn't help that my parents decided to show up," I explained.

Tomiko shrugged, "I was already pretty sure the leader was Himeko so I'm good. Bored as fuck but good."

Hisa and Yumi both shook their heads, "We both knew it was you so we're not surprised," they responded.

Kura smiled widely and shook her head, "I already asked my question!"

Tsukiko groaned in frustration but shook her head, "I'm still trying to figure out how I didn't fucking see it before!"

"Cause you're stupid," Tomiko stated.

"Shut up Bitch!" Tsukiko shot back.

Tomiko rolled her eyes and turned to Usagi, "You alright kid, you haven't said a word?"

Usagi blinked for a moment, "I am okay, I was just thinking. Why aren't the Akatsuki more shocked?"

I blinked in confusion, "Hm…I have no idea, guys?" I questioned, turning to them.

Hidan frowned, "Hey, you saw that I was shocked Psycho Bitch. I didn't think the spaz had it in her," he replied.

Kakuzu shrugged, "I just don't care."

Konan smiled, "I am sorry to say that I assumed you were the leader," she explained.

Pain nodded in agreement with Konan, "I assumed by the way you stabbed Hidan to protect Kira and how Kira always looks to you for approval that you were some sort of leader type."

Tobi glomped Himeko, "Tobi was super shocked that Hime-chan was the leader!"

Deidara frowned, "I'm with Hidan on this one; I had no idea, you shocked me un."

Kisame smirked, "I'm with Kakuzu, I really don't care which one of you is the leader; pretty sure Itachi-san agrees."

Itachi shrugged, "Hn," he grunted uncaringly.

Himeko smiled, after getting over the initial shock, and hugged Tobi back, "Yup Himeko is the leader but it sure is boring sometimes!" she said in her façade voice.

Deidara frowned, "Why is she still acting like that un?"

I smirked, "Acting serious all the time is boring, besides you never know who is watching. Just cause everyone in our small group knows doesn't mean we want anyone else to know," I explained.

"Hm, makes sense un," Deidara replied.

Tomiko sighed exasperatedly, "So what now? Are we going to go on a killing escapade? I mean Tadashi is out now."

I frowned, "Wh-What!? N-No! We can't just go searching him out with no plan!"

"What are you talking about he tried to kill you!" Zetsu exclaimed in anger.

"I-I know but we can't just go in full throttle with no plan," I countered.

"True, but we do have a plan. Kill any son of a bitch that stands in our way until we find Tadashi," Tomiko responded.

Hidan chuckled darkly, "I like the sound of that plan," he said with a sadistic grin upon his face.

Hisa looked at the others in annoyance as she tapped her foot impatiently, "Guys," she said softly.

"You idiot, that isn't a plan. That is just a massacre that will bring too much attention," Kakuzu chastised.

"Oh shut up you stringed dick," Hidan countered.

"Guys…." Hisa repeated a bit louder.

"Go ahead and insult all you want Hidan but Kakuzu is right, that plan sucks," I countered.

"Oh fuck you Psycho Bitch! What do you know about planning?" Hidan shot back angirly.

I took a step back, slightly taken aback at his angry tone, "S-sorry but we have to keep you as hidden as possible and killing a bunch of people is not the best way to do that. No matter how much I would love to see Tadashi dead," I replied softly.

"Fuck that! I want out of this house and I need to make some sacrifices! Lord Jashin will only be understanding for so long!" Hidan shot back.

"Who's to say you can even contact Lord Jashin here idiot?" Tsukiko said with a smug smile.

Hidan turned all of his anger onto her, "Ohi! Shut up you brat! Of course I can contact Lord Jashin!"

"Guys, shut up for a second!" Yumi said in attempt to help her sister.

Again they were ignored. Hisa turned to Yumi and nodded. Yumi grinned in reply and the snuck off together to do something. I frowned and was about to follow them when I ran into Zetsu.

"H-Hey…th-thank you for your help earlier," I muttered uncomfortably.

"No problem. I was happy to get them out of the house, they pissed me off more than I thought they would," Zetsu responded with a slightly smile.

I looked past him for the twins but they were out of sight by now. I shrugged and returned to my conversation with Zetsu.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

I shook my head, "Not really, I just thought I saw the twins go somewhere and I was wondering what they were doing," I replied.

Zetsu frowned, "In all seriousness, what are you planning to do about Tadashi?"

I shook my head, "I'm not sure. He shouldn't know where I live but I'm sure my parents told him. There is not much we can do until he decides to show himself to me. He is able to use the church to hide anywhere in the city. The people of the church trust him more than anyone else in the world. The fact that he has both my mother and father's seal of approval doesn't help the situation. I will have to see what Himeko says," I explained.

Zetsu sighed, "You mean there is nothing we can do? I could try and find him. But he has no chakra. So? We could still try! There are thousands of people in this city. We are not even sure what he looks or sounds like," Black and White Zetsu argued.

I smiled sheepishly and held my hands up in defense, "It's alright White Zetsu. I'll be alright. Tadashi will show himself soon enough, he won't be able to resist coming to see me," I said in an attempt to calm his fears.

Zetsu instantly snapped, "If that asshole steps one foot in this house I will snap it off and eat it," he said acidly.

I blinked in surprise, "U-uh th-thank you…I think?" I said sheepishly.

"I have never had a guy be so protective of me before," I thought to myself.

"It certainly is a nice change of pace form your Dad and Tadashi," Chiyoye responded.

"That's for sure. I wonder why he is so protective all of a sudden," I questioned.

Chiyoye chuckled, "Cause he likes you idiot."

"Wh-what! N-no way!"

Chiyoye continued her laughter, "You honestly can't see it? I don't mean romantically but he certainly sees you as someone he wants to protect, like a little sister, or a pet."

"Or a friend," I stated bluntly.

"Aww, you make things so much less fun! You could have started calling him Onii-san!"

"Oh shush."

I was snapped from my thoughts as the lights were suddenly extinguished and a flash of light went flying through the room. I followed the light until it stopped upon hitting the wall on the other side of the room. By now all of the other arguing and conversations in the room had stopped.

"What the fuck is going on?" Hidan asked in annoyance.

The room was dimly lit from the sunlight that streamed in through the gaps in the blinds so I could see Kisame walk over to me in concern.

"Kira, where are the twins?" he asked lowly.

"I'm not sure. I saw them leave the room earlier," I replied in confusion.

He nodded and turned to look towards the stairs, "God! Finally you all shut up!" Hisa said in annoyance as she stood at the top of the stairs.

"Hisa what are you doing?" Himeko asked in angered confusion.

"Well, we were trying to get your attention, but since everyone ignored us we took matters into our own hands," Hisa responded as she pulled another light from under her sleeve.

Now that the light wasn't moving I could see that it was just a glow stick attached to a throwing knife. Hisa twirled the knife causing the light to spin in a circle around her hand. Yumi bounded up behind her with a wicked grin on her face as the lights flicked back on.

"I went down to the basement and flipped the circuit breaker so all the lights went off all at once. Ingenious huh!?"

"Well it is certainly something but I'm not sure ingenious describes it," Kakuzu grumbled.

Hisa frowned, "Well it worked did it not?"

"True, well what did you want to get out attention for?" I asked.

Hisa nodded stiffly, "Well, I was thinking, if Tadashi is out of prison, what would he do first?"

I frowned, "Find me?"

"Close, but we all know how he has his flair for the dramatics. So I think that he would first try and contact you. This is why I think it would be in our best interest to see if we can get him to call you and track the signal once he does. Because if we can track the signal to where the worm is hiding then we can formulate a plan around that," Hisa explained.

Himeko frowned, "That may work but who's to say Kira's parents aren't housing him. If that is the case then they have the entire police force on their side."

"True but we have your police connections as well. Kira's parents wouldn't risk using potentially unreliable protection."

"True, but the church has its personal protection force that isn't part of the police force. Meaning that they don't have to follow the same honor codes and rules that police do. The only rules they have to follow are the laws and they can usually get off scot free due to the church's connection with the legal system," I replied.

"True, but they do have to follow the rules of your religion do they not?"

"Well yes, but those are pretty easy to get around if you know the laws well enough."

Himeko lit up, "Oh, but we have you. If there are any loop holes you will know them right?"

I nodded, "Well yes, but I would have to brush up on a few things, it has been awhile since I was super active in the church."

Himeko nodded, "Well if we can predict their movements then it will be that much easier to get past their defenses."

"And if we can get past their security then getting to Tadashi will be a breeze. Well for Yumi and me," Hisa replied with a smirk.

"Sure but what are you going to do when you find him?" I questioned.

"Kill him of course," Yumi replied bluntly.

"Wh-what! No! You could get caught! The jury and the judge would both be merciless towards you!" I exclaimed.

"That is a risk I'm willing to take," Hisa responded sternly.

"No! I could never ask you to do that for me!"

"Well it's a good thing you aren't asking then," Yumi replied.

"Please don't! Himeko say something!" I pleaded.

Himeko thought for a moment before sighing, "We would have to be absolute sure you two wouldn't be caught. I couldn't risk the loss of two of my closest allies," she responded flatly.

Hisa nodded sternly, "I would ensure to leave no trace, you know how careful we are."

Himeko nodded weakly, "Yes, but I also know how you tend to let your protectiveness of Yumi cloud your better judgment. I don't know if placing you both in such a dangerous situation is a wise decision."

Hisa frowned angrily, "I can do this! I want to get rid of that scum bag for good!" she shouted furiously.

Himeko sighed, "I don't know, let me think."

"What's there to think about?! This is our one chance to kill this bastard before he hurts Kira again and you have to think about it!?" Hisa shouted, her anger growing.

"Hisa calm down," Himeko said softly.

"Calm down?! How can I be calm?! I want to stop this guy! How can you be so calm when you know better than all of us just what this monster put Kira through?!" Hisa shouted.

As Hisa was shouting I felt an odd sense of dread enter the room, "Hisa, calm down. I have a feeling you don't understand something," Kisame said sternly as he took a step forward.

"What could I possibly not understand?! Our leader refuses to take action against a man who caused her best friend so much pain!" Hisa shouted as the Akatsuki slowly formed a protective circle around the rest of us.

"What's going on!?" I wondered worryingly.

Kisame grimaced, "I think Hisa may have proved a theory about this universe wrong."

Yumi frowned in equal anger with her sister, "I agree with Hisa! We can do this job quick, why not just trust us and let us kill this jerk! I could even test out on of my torcher techniques on him!"

"I said not until we are sure we can do this without detection," Himeko repeated.

"But you already know we can! How many times have we been found during a game of hide and seek? None! We are champions at sneaking through spaces undetected," Yumi growled in protest.

Suddenly Zetsu stood protectively in front of me, "There is no way. This can't be."

"What can't be? What's going on?!" I shouted in confusion.

"How long are we going to let him run around unpunished!?" they shouted in anger.

Itachi's eyes widened slightly in shock as he cautiously walk towards the girls. Kisame followed in suit as they both approached the girl's slowly.

"What are you doing?" Hisa questioned in fear.

"Kisame why are you looking at me like that?" Yumi wondered.

As soon as the girls were within reach Kisame grabbed both their arms and shook them to get their attention.

Oh my goodness! So crazy!
