Obito was beyond angry, his mind on the brown-haired beauty. She was going to assist with this dangerous mission, much to his disappointment. Lucifer was an extremely dangerous criminal. Past records indicated that he would go as far as dismembering his victims and potentially even eating them. He was a sick man. And the fact that Rin was going to try to grab this man's attention in order to lure him out worried Obito. Lucifer wasn't dumb; the man was able to escape from local, international, and intergalactic police for years. He knew when someone would try to set him up.

"We're fifteen minutes away from entering the atmosphere," Juzo said, breaking the captain's train of thoughts.

As they entered the planet, they flew further away from the busy dangerous city and towards an open area. Obito landed the ship there.

As planned, Juzo remained in the driver's seat as Obito got up and hurried downstairs. Kakuzu was preparing by attaching several weapons to himself. Sasori was preparing several syringes, just in case they had to tranquilize their target. And finally, on the opposite end was Rin. Deidara had managed to quickly stitch something together for Rin to wear. Something that had him and Hidan looking at her.

Deidara had grabbed one of his blue shirts, cut its sleeves off, and stitched the sides in order to better fit her. But he stitched too much, as the clothing was very tight against her body. The sleeveless dress reached just right below her buttocks, displaying her nicely shaped legs. Obito had been too distracted by her legs to notice her cleavage showing as well, his eyebrows raising just briefly as she finally turned around and looked at him. He could immediately tell that she was very uncomfortable with what she was wearing.

"Doesn't she look good?!" Deidara said, feeling proud of himself.

"Hell yeah," Hidan smirked, "She should have no problem getting Lucifer's attention,"

"What exactly do I do though?" Rin asked. Aside from showing off her assets, no one had explained to her what exactly she had to do.

"Lucifer will most likely be here," Kakuzu said, placing a large piece of paper on the table. It was the blueprint of a nightclub.

"Why?"

"That's where all of the women will be. And you'll need to outshine them all and grab his attention,"

Rin gulped with a nod. Seducing men had never been her skill (nor did she ever think of practicing).

"I will be stationed behind the club, Sasori will be behind the bartender area, and Obito will be stationed by the front. We'll keep an eye on you. Just make sure you lead Lucifer out of the club. Do whatever it takes,"

She nodded again as Juzo's voice came through the intercom, "Are we ready?"

The small group headed towards the exit of the ship, its ramp lowering. The cold breeze suddenly had her trembling, and she rubbed her arms. No one had warned her that it would be this cold. To make things worse, the club wasn't nearby. She could see the building and even hear the music, but it was still a walk.

Rin looked up at Obito from the corner of her eyes, not surprised to find him scowling. The sweet side of him was gone, and he barely acknowledged her. She knew that he wasn't happy with her decision, and that frustrated her a lot. Why did she care if Aiko had stopped by and given him a visit? Clearly something (or two) went between them, and Rin was not going to become some side-woman.

Taking a deep breath, she braced the cold and followed Kakuzu.

"Here,"

She stopped on her tracks and looked at Sasori, who handed over a jacket.

"Last thing we want is you showing up as an icicle,"

"Thanks, Sasori," Rin said, putting on the piece of clothing. With her arms covered, she could concentrate better on walking and thinking about how she would even seduce The Devil.

XxXxX

To say that this was a lawless place was an understatement. Rin's eyes nearly popped out the moment she walked inside. Right there on her left was a woman on her knees, her mouth on the erected member of a man. Her chest was exposed, wearing only a pair of white panties. There were other men around her, staring at her with a hungry stare.

An uneasy feeling fell on her stomach as she walked through the packed area. It was mostly dark, with only certain areas lit by small candles. She couldn't see Obito, Sasori, or Kakuzu, and that worried her. Could they see her?

The three of them had earpieces, but had not given her one to ensure that Lucifer didn't find it. And that meant that Rin would be on her own with finding the criminal and leading him out of the club.

"I can do this," she whispered to herself.

To her luck, finding Lucifer wasn't hard at all. As expected, the bald tattooed man was sitting down with two bikini-clad females on his lap. Lucifer took a large swig of his drink before spitting it back down one of the women's mouths. Rin's frown increased and her stomach turned sour. Her feet were stuck to the floor, and she couldn't find the willpower to approach this man. This man suddenly had the other female on her knees in front of him, his cock out as she began sucking him. She suddenly regretted not listening to Obito. This man was disgusting, and Rin felt disgust as she heard him yell and curse at the female who pleasured him. He grabbed the woman's blond hair and pulled it tightly, causing her to shriek just as he pushed his pelvic forward. Rin saw the woman's face become frantic as Lucifer held her head steady and thrusted harshly into her mouth. He grunted and called the woman vulgar names before coming, covering her face with his semen.

"Disgusting bitch," he said, pushing her aside and closing the zipper to his pants.

A red-haired waiter gave him another drink, and Rin unfroze as she saw Sasori's swift glance at her. His look was a reminder that she had a task to do, and it had to be done as soon as possible. Taking a deep breath, Rin walked closer to Lucifer's chair. And as she got closer, the filthy man finally noticed her and smiled. It was then that Rin realized that his teeth were yellow.

"My...my...my… Now what's a young cute little kitten like you doing here?"

Kitten? "Um…" Rin wasn't sure how to respond to any of that.

"Come here," Lucifer commanded, and once again her feet were frozen; glued to the wooden floor. His eyebrows furrowed, and before she had time to react, his large hand was on her wrist and he pulled her over, right onto his lap. His thick arm was around her waist, his fingers playing with the smooth skin of her thighs.

"What's your name?" he asked, his other hand touching the side of her face.

Rin tried to think of a good name, but Lucifer chuckled and shook his head. "Doesn't fucking matter. You're like a cute little kitten, so that's what I'm going to call you. Now tell me Kitten, what's a girl like you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school or something?"

"I...was curious and...wanted to come here,"

"Really?" Lucifer said with a chuckle, "A little virgin like yourself came all the way here to what...get fucked?"

Rin shook her head, "N-No-"

"Oh, I know girls like you! Acting all innocent and cute, but inside they just want the man with the biggest cock to devour them! If that's what you're looking for, all you gotta do is ask,"

His hand went underneath her dress, tugging at her underwear, and Rin flinched. She pushed his hand away, which made him laugh.

"The kitten's feisty!" He then grabbed her chin tightly, bringing her face closer. Rin became scared, her eyes staring at his chapped lips and disgusting teeth. "Why don't I give you a good fucking on this couch?"

"N-Not here," she said, and he raised his eyebrows.

"Oh?"

"S-Since it'll be my first time, I would like...some privacy,"

Lucifer smirked before nodding, "Ah, so the Kitten wants it private. I can satisfy that,"

Rin gave him a weak smile (his disgusting breath made her want to puke). He stood up, standing tall. He was as tall as Obito, and the thought of the male Uchiha had her turning her head. Her heart sank as she could not find him anywhere. She could spot Sasori behind the bartender area, and Kakuzu gambling with a group. But she could not find Obito at all. Did he go off with some woman? There were many beautiful women at the establishment, a lot of them willing to get on their knees and pleasure the male attendees.

Lucifer eventually dragged her out through the back, walking behind her. He had his arms wrapped around her, his hands squeezing her ass. He tried to lower her panties again, but Rin chuckled nervously and stopped him. Inside, she was panicking and hoping that Obito would save her. She missed him tremendously, and was regretting not listening to him.

Lucifer led her to the outside. There was no one, and she was about to stop him. This area was good for him to be caught. But her eyes widened as a small two-seater ship appeared right in front of them, and he dragged her inside.

"Get in there,"

His voice was harsh, and Rin turned around hoping that Obito or someone else would be following. But the area was empty. And all of the sudden, she yelped as he grabbed her by the back of her neck and dragged her inside. She scratched her knee against the side of the ship, causing her to hunch over in pain as Lucifer got on the driver's seat and flew away quickly.

The ride was bumpy, and Rin held onto the seat.

"Wh-Where are we going?"

"To my special little hide out," he replied, "Where I can fuck that innocence out of you,"

The ship flew through several layers of mountains before landing near a small cabin. The cabin was very far away from the club, and Rin was afraid that Obito and team wouldn't be able to find her.

There was nothing but trees nearby, and the cabin itself blended in with the night. How would they find her?

A dangerous idea came to her mind, and she glanced at Lucifer as he pressed a button and the doors of the ship opened.

'Now's my chance…'

Without much thought, Rin ran out of ship and into the woods. Lucifer blinked several times before smirking.

"Ah, so the Kitten wants some foreplay…"

Grabbing his weapon, he exited the ship and followed her.

XxXxX

Rin knew that he was chasing her, but that didn't stop her. She tried her best to hide amongst the large trees. She also thought about climbing one (it had been nearly a decade since she last climbed a tree, and a short dress wasn't going to stop her from doing it again).

She yelped as a blast was shot, missing her by two feet.

"You can't hide from me, Kitten!"

She stumbled while navigating through the uneven terrain, the short dress making it hard for her to run faster. There was a second blast, and she nearly fell as it went right above her head. He shot a third, and it hit the ground behind her. Even though the blast was about a foot away, the heat from it was felt on the back of her legs. With his precision getting better, that only meant that he was getting closer.

"Come out come out, little Kitten,"

His voice was closer, and Rin stopped abruptly as she reached the edge of a cliff.

"Crap," she cursed underneath her breath.

She estimated the drop to be more than ten feet, but couldn't be sure due to the darkness around her. She could hear Lucifer's laugh echo through the forest, causing her head to turn left and right. She couldn't see where he was, but could hear his taunting laughs as he chanted the nickname Kitten over and over.

Not wanting to become another one of his victims, Rin closed her eyes and moved forward. She had no time to think about whether she would survive this or not, but one thing was for certain: she was not going to let him win.

Her eyes widened widely as a strong grip grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. The action nearly had her screaming, but a hand quickly covered her mouth. Rin tried to push the man's gloved hand away from her as he dragged her back. The man eventually let go of her wrist but not before wrapping an arm around her in order to restrain her.

"Shh, it's me,"

Rin's heavy breathing and frantic heart beat slowly calmed as Obito whispered in her ear. The need to hug and hold onto him was strong. And for a moment, the threat of Lucifer chasing her left her mind as she allowed herself to be engulfed by his presence.

He removed his hand from her mouth, and Rin watched from the corner of her eyes as he grabbed a weapon from the strap of his thigh.

"Oh Kitten… I know you're still here,"

Another blast, and Rin flinched as it nearly hit them. Obito held her firmly, leveling his weapon. She wanted to ask him about what he was planning on doing, but decided it was better to remain silent. It was quiet in the woods, and any little sound would lead Lucifer right to them.

"I can smell your fear from here,"

His voice was much closer, and Rin closed her eyes and pressed on her lips tightly. She trusted Obito and whatever plan he had. She looked up as he raised his hand, and watched as he pressed on the trigger.

"What the fuck-" Lucifer moved aside as the loud pop suddenly turned to several small explosions.

Obito quickly pulled Rin behind him as he turned and pointed the weapon towards Lucifer, pulling the trigger again.

The man smirked and shot back, hitting the tree beside them. Small pieces of wood scratched her legs, arms, and side of her face. Obito fired again, and Lucifer easily dodged and shot towards them. Rin didn't have time to process what was going on as Obito grabbed her and pulled her aside, the blast landing right where they had been standing.

"Give me the Kitten!"

"Then come get her,"

Rin's eyes widened at Obito's response, and Lucifer laughed.

"You know, it's been a while since I've been in a good fight," Lucifer said, throwing his weapon aside.

"I can say the same thing," Obito replied, reappearing.

"Then how about it? Winner gets to fuck the Kitten tonight!"

Obito only smirked, dropping his weapon as well. "Very well, then,"

Rin could not believe her eyes as both men, equal in height and stature, stood in front of one another until Lucifer pulled the first move. Obito quickly deflected by raising an arm and catching his fist. From there, things become more violent. While Obito was able to dodge nearly everything, Lucifer was fast. Very fast. He was able to land a blow on the Uchiha's abdomen, giving him the opportunity to punch him on the side of the face. But Obito seemed resistant to the pain somehow, immediately punching back. Her eyes widened at the damage on Lucifer's face from Obito's latest punch.

"Fuck," the criminal said, looking at the blood trailing from his nose, "You're no ordinary bastard. Something's different about that arm of yours,"

Obito didn't say anything, and Rin looked confused as she wasn't sure what Lucifer was talking about in regards to the Uchiha's arm. Lucifer took out a pocket knife and immediately swung, scratching Obito beneath his eye. But Obito grabbed his wrist before he could do any further damage and kneed him, eventually punching him again.

Lucifer stumbled back and laughed, "Oh, you're good… I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I have to admit, I haven't been keeping up with my skills lately… But I ain't letting you fuck that Kitten tonight-"

Lucifer stopped talking and looked down as blood suddenly began to flow down from his chest, shocking all of them. Another set of footsteps were heard, and Kakuzu emerged. He had aimed a thin razor-sharp instrument through Lucifer's chest, inches from the criminal's heart.

"Obito," Kakuzu said, standing in front of Lucifer as the criminal fell onto his knees, "Leave him to me…. He owes me something,"

"I...owe you...shit… Kakuzu," Lucifer groaned, laughing wickedly before crying as Kakuzu stabbed him in the stomach and drove the long knife well into his body.

Rin looked away as the disgusting sight nearly had her puking; Lucifer's blood sprawled around the ground and Kakuzu feeling no remorse his hand was nearly inside the man's body.

"Obito," Kakuzu said, "Take the girl away from here before she faints. I'll handle Lucifer. I have a score to settle with him. I'll return to the ship in a couple of hours,"

"Fine," Obito said, grabbing his weapon and strapping it by his thigh, "Do what you have to do,"

Without another word, Kakuzu pulled out a zip tie and tied Lucifer's hands together by the front. Rin watched curiously, guessing what Kakuzu would do next. Maybe call some inter-galactic police?

But to her shock, Kakuzu pulled out a pocket knife and pushed the blade right into Lucifer's right eye. Rin closed her eyes and looked away, biting her bottom lip as Lucifer's screams echoed throughout the dense forest.

"Come, let's go,"

She opened her eyes to see Obito's hand extended to her. With a brief nod, she placed her hand in his and allowed him to take her away from Lucifer's painful screams.

XxXxX

She wasn't sure for how long they had been walking; her mind was still replaying the image of Lucifer's eye covered in blood and his screams of pain echoing around. Yes, she had seen blood before and even dealt with severe injuries. But what Kakuzu had done was animalistic. He had driven the knife hard into the man's eye socket, and it almost had her puking.

"You're bleeding,"

"Huh?" she looked up at Obito as they stopped walking, and touched the side of her face to where he was pointing at.

"Your knees are bleeding too,"

"Yeah, I scratched them when he dragged me inside the ship," she replied while sitting down on a small boulder, looking up at him and watching as his eyebrows were furrowed while keeping his gaze on her bruised knees. "How did you know where to find me?"

"I followed you,"

"You did? How? I...wasn't able to see you at the club…"

"I had Sasori keep an eye on you while I waited outside. I knew he would try to take you somewhere, so I followed once I saw you both,"

"But how?"

"I stole someone's ship,"

"S-Seriously? Isn't that illeg- oh wait, there's no laws here…"

"Exactly," he replied, his gaze shifting to her face, "Can you walk?"

"Yeah. Hurts, but I'll be fine. Where's Sasori and everyone else?"

"Sasori went back to the ship, and it's still in the same area. Flying it around here isn't a good idea. We don't want to attract the wrong attention,"

She nodded and looked away, rubbing her aching knees slowly. "Thank you for saving me…I'm...sorry for not listening to you…"

"He could have killed you before I got to you," he said sternly, almost angrily. "He could have done other things to you…"

Rin nodded, feeling guiltier. "I-I know… I just wanted to help,"

"I know," he said more calmly before eventually getting on one knee in front of her and addressing her wounds, "How bad are they?"

"Not that bad," she said, "Hurts to walk. But I'm sure some rubbing alcohol will help,"

"The ship's not too far from here," he said, referring to the ship he had stolen, "Come, I'll carry you,"

"You don't have to-Oh!"

He picked her up and continued his way to the ship, "I'm not listening to you,"

His statement had her giggling, "Wh-What? Obito, I'm not a child. I can walk. Put me down. I don't want people to think that I can't walk,"

"There's no one around,"

"Your team may see us-"

"And?" he asked, looking down at her and she gulped. Realizing his tone, he sighed. "Sorry… I…"

The words were in his tongue, but he was afraid of saying them. He could care less about whoever saw them, as long as he was able to hold her.

"It's OK," she said with a smile, "You saved my life, and I'm grateful for that,"

They reached the stolen ship within minutes. The aircraft was similar to the one Lucifer had; two seats adjacent to each other with the set of controls on both sides. Rin relaxed on her seat as Obito flew the aircraft rapidly through the night sky.

"Obito?"

"Hm?"

"Why was Kakuzu so interested in dealing with Lucifer on his own?"

"Lucifer and his men killed Kakuzu's younger sister six years ago," he replied, putting the aircraft in an idle state. "She was found months after being reported missing. When she was found, Lucifer's signature mark had been carved onto her skin,"

Rin gulped at that. It made perfect sense as to why Kakuzu wanted revenge so badly. And she couldn't blame him, even though it had seemed as if he was doing it for the money at first. She would do the same thing if it had been her sister.

"When Kakuzu joined my team, he told me that he would break all protocols and rules if he ever got his hands on Lucifer. I didn't believe him at first, until he showed me the picture of his sister's mutilated body. It's something he carries with him in order to remind himself that his sister's killer was out there," Obito then turned to her and leaned forward, raising his hand to her face and brushing her cheek with his finger, "Kakuzu was ready to sacrifice you just so he could get his hands on him,"

Rin took a shaky deep breath as her hand grabbed his. "I...I'm really sorry for not thinking things through and-"

"Your safety is the most important thing to me, Rin. So I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe, even if it means physically stopping you from doing anything stupid,"

"You care about me that much?" she asked. It was something that had been on the back of her mind for days. Even when he acted like he didn't care, she would catch him looking at her. And she didn't forget about the short kiss they had before Aiko and her team arrived.

"I've never stopped loving you, Rin,"

Her eyebrows raised at the confession, and she remembered how he had told her that he loved her two years ago. How he wanted her to join him in space, staying by his side as he became captain. She could feel her heart beating rapidly.

"As much as I tried, there were a lot of days where I couldn't stop thinking about you," he continued, "I went on many missions in order to try and forget about you. Maybe fall in love with someone else. But whenever I tried, your face would just appear,"

"So you were avoiding me at first," she said with a smile, and he chuckled.

"Yes, I was. I thought I was finally moving on, but then Minato put you in my team. And at that moment, it was as if the universe was telling me that no matter how hard I tried, my love for you would never go away. That I'll keep loving you no matter what,"

She leaned forward, seeing her reflection against dark eyes. "Two years ago, I wasn't ready. There were some things going on, in regards to my family, that I couldn't really tell you… That's why...I said no… But I'm...ready now,"

Her revelation surprised him, "So you always…?"

She nodded, "I started realizing my feelings for you shortly after you left… And I hoped that you would come back… But then months passed and… well, now you know the rest,"

He cupped her face with his hands, leaning his forehead against hers. He wanted to say something but instead chose to kiss her. The kiss wasn't like before. As much as he wanted to rush and pull her tightly towards him, he took it gently. Their mouths worked against each other's, his hands going from her face to her waist. And without any warning, he pulled her across and onto his lap.

"Obito!" Rin said against his lips while pulling her dress down. "Careful, this dress barely covers anything,"

He kissed her neck and then her lips hungrily, "No point in covering. I'll see everything one of these days anyway,"

She rolled her eyes despite her cheeks getting warm at the comment.

A bright white light suddenly shone towards them, causing the two to stop and turn. There was another ship right in front of them, three unfamiliar male passengers inside. And one of them looked very angry.

"That's my ship, and that's the bastard who stole it!" he yelled through the intercom.

Rin looked at Obito as she realized that the stolen ship belonged to the man.

"Give me my ship back!" the man said before adding on, "And if you don't, I'll take it and your girl by force!"

Obito's eyes narrowed before he faced Rin. "Want to learn how to fly a ship?"

She gave him an incredulous look. "Now?"

"Yup,"

"Obito, the guy is pissed and you want to use this time to teach me how to fly?"

"It's not that hard," he said, turning her so she sat firmly on his lap while facing the windshield. He then grabbed her hands and placed them on the necessary controls. With this guidance, she pushed the lever and the engines of the ship began to roar.

"Actually, this may be kind of fun," she admitted nervously, and Obito kissed her cheek, "But shouldn't we give the man his ship back?"

"We can, once he's able to catch up to us," he said, and guided her hand to push the lever even more.

And suddenly, the ship moved past the other ship and towards the night sky. Rin screamed and giggled as it swerved left and right, grateful that Obito's hands were on top of hers the entire time. Despite the fun she was experiencing, she had no idea what she was doing.

"Give me back my ship!" came the loud intercom voice from behind.

"Want to go faster?" Obito whispered to her ear, and Rin nodded.

He pressed on a button and suddenly Rin's body was jerked back against his as the small ship flew even faster. She laughed as it passed through stars and smaller planets, taking in the beauty of the galaxy. And she thought to herself, with Obito right by herself, that this was the adventure she always wanted.
