Pein:
You'd been wracking your brain for any knowledge on the Akatsuki leader. He had known your name, he had practically promised you would see him again, yet here you were, two weeks later with no sign of the criminal leader. Whilst on patrol you asked your teammates what they knew about the fearless leader but they could only tell you what he looked like and that was it. You frowned, that information no good to you as you already knew how attractive he was. Although, you knew if you aired that opinion aloud you may be considered a traitor.
"Where the hell did you disappear to?"
"Are you muttering about me?"
You did a complete 180 only to come face to face with the man who had haunted your thoughts for weeks. You didn't know whether to hug him or glare at him for making you wait so long. He waited for you to speak just as he did when you two first met.
"It's risky venturing into a territory guarded 24/7 by Anbu," you commented.
"They aren't doing a very good job."
You stared at him skeptically for a moment before asking, "what makes you think I won't turn you in?"
Pein let out a low chuckle and took a step back with his arms slightly raised. You narrowed your eyes. It was your job to patrol the area and -if you came across any- arrest criminals. You were quite sure the leader of the Akatsuki classed as a criminal. Yet, you couldn't find it in yourself to attack him. He was watching you watch him with a ghost of a smirk on his face.
"Y/N, you don't belong here, in this job where you aren't appreciated."
You scoffed, you didn't mean to but you did. What did he know about your job or your life? You folded your arms across your chest. An eyebrow was raised when he reached his hand out to you and for a moment you found yourself wanting to entwine your fingers with his. You sighed, when had you ever just gone for it? Just took a leap of faith? You were too calculated for that so you did what you did best, you calculated; you calculated your options, the pros and cons of staying and leaving. However, all those calculations went out the window as you grabbed onto Pein's hand and allowed him to pull you from your post.

Itachi:
Itachi! The damn man's name was Itachi Uchiha. You kept the fact you'd seen the infamous Uchiha to yourself. You didn't want to know what people would say if they knew. Would you be branded a traitor? Or just a coward for letting him escape so easily. You shuddered at the memory of his sharingan; he hadn't used it against you. You unintentionally tilted your head to the side, why had he not attacked you?
You sat on the grass of the training area -the same training area where you first saw him- and took a sip of water. Your eyes were focused on the line of trees he emerged from. The raven-haired man had you hooked and he'd only uttered two sentences to you. His voice was like silk and to you he was beautiful. You groaned and flopped against the grass, your eyes staring up at the clouds.
"You don't sound happy."
Your body shot up on its own as you searched for the owner of the voice. Had he really come back? Your eyes went back to the treeline and found he stood against the nearest one. A smile crossed your lips. You stood and made your way over to him. A few metres remained between the two of you and you could see the small smile on his face. You smiled back at him and clasped your hands behind you.

"Itachi," you greeted.
His smile seemed to widen at the sound of his name fluttering from your lips.
"I haven't stopped thinking about you," he confessed.
"You don't even know my name," you stated as you stepped closer to him.
He cast his eyes downward, the smile fading. You tried to see under the bamboo hat he now hid behind. He chewed on his bottom lip in thought and you couldn't help but want to wrap your arms around him and help him with whatever troubles he had.
"Then tell me."
Your stared at him for a second before stepping even closer to him.
"It's Y/N."
This made the smile return to his lips. That small smile was going to kill you, you were sure of it. You had been thinking of Itachi for days, every thought you had somehow leading back to him. He had come back because he had been in the same predicament you had been.
Itachi's eyes lifted to yours as you smiled back at him. You walked toward him with your hand outstretched. He clasped your hand hesitantly and you shook his hand as electricity poured through your veins at his touch. You knew your fates were going to be entwined from then on.

Kisame:
It was blazing hot again which made you sigh. You made it to the lake without passing out from the heat and dumped your bags near the shore. You quickly peeled your sweaty clothes from your body to reveal a two-piece. You took a moment to stretch your hands over your head and click you back before tiptoeing into the cool water. You hissed at the contrast in temperature but settled into the refreshing water not too long later. The lake was crystal clear so you felt safe venturing closer to the centre where many tourists actually swam. You glided on your back, the sun beating down on your exposed skin. However, you nearly had a heart-attack as arms wrapped around your middle and pulled you under the water for a second. You spluttered as you breached the surface and swirled to face your assailant.
The shark-man was back. You splashed a large wave at him and began to tread water, a scowl on your face. He had the nerve to grin at you but once he noticed your irritated face his smile fell and apologetic look took its place.
"S-sorry, I just wanted to see you again..." He trailed off.
You were at a loss for words. The man who came into your life quickly and left as such, then was suddenly back simply because he wanted he wanted to see you. You then felt bad, he wanted to see you and you looked at him like mouldy bread. Your face softened as you swam towards him.
"You scared the crap out of me," you scolded playfully.
The shark-man's cheeks turned purple in what you assumed to be a blush. He apologised once more and avoided eye contact as you made your way toward him.
"You wanted to see me?"
He nodded and flushed even darker.
"I'm Y/N."
He finally made eye contact and smiled sheepishly and you thought he looked adorable.
"Kisame."
The smile you sent him was dazzling. You both swam around for a while simply chatting and splashing each other now and then. The sun was setting by the time you both went back to shore and you couldn't remember when you had been that happy. Kisame made you feel at ease and carefree so when he gave you a sideways hug as a goodbye and you leaned up to kiss his cheek you weren't frightened of the consequences. His blush came back at full force but he didn't shy away which made the smile you gave him even brighter.
"I'll see you again?" It was more of a question than a statement.
"I'd like that."

Hidan:
You didn't know who you were going to kill first: your partner, or your leader. Your fists clenched as you stormed out the gates of your village. You returned from a mission last night and your partner received all the credit whilst your leader criticised your use of jutsu. You knew he meant well but your mind wouldn't let you dwell on that notion but instead filled it with ways you could smash his face in.
"What fucking crawled up your ass?"
You stopped in your tracks, your body alert. Yet, you recognised that voice; you turned to where a shadow lay and noted the shape of a scythe on its back. It was the damn silver-haired shinobi.
"Nothing's 'crawled up my ass'. I'm just pissed at my friends is all."
Hidan walked out from behind a tree with his arms folded across his chest and an eyebrow risen. His eyes raked your body allowing a low whistle to escape his lips... His very enticing lips. You shook your head and shoved your hands in your pockets, your anger only subsiding slightly.
"What'd they do?"
You looked at him skeptically. Did he really want to know? Why did he care? Why would he waste his time on this topic? All those questions rang through your head.
"Fine, don't fucking answer me then. I just wanted to make some fucking conversation."
Hidan began to storm off but you surged forward and grabbed his hand before you knew what you were doing.
"You don't even know who I am."
He scoffed and ripped his hand from your grasp before turning to face you.
"Well that's what I'm fucking trying to figure out," he muttered quietly.
You noticed the smallest blush across his cheeks which made you smirk. With your hand held out to him in what you hoped was a friendly manner, you smirk wider.
"My name's Y/N."

Kakuzu:
It had been three days since your run in with the Great Bounty Hunter Kakuzu. You knew a lot about the man, respected him really, but when you met him you were a tad underwhelmed. You sighed as you dropped another bounty at the BCO which only got you half of what your previous bounty did. You trudged out the doors and into the pouring rain which made your sulking mood even worse.
"I've been watching you."
You let out a yell as you jumped back from the voice. You landed straight into a puddle, the water covering the expanse of your legs. You brandished your kuni and glared at the man who emerged from the shadows. Kakuzu stood before you with his hands in his cloak pockets and his strange eyes boring into yours.
"Kami! You could give a girl a heart attack!"
Kakuzu chuckled beneath his mask and noted your drenched hair and clothes. Your kuni was still pointed toward him but your posture seemed slightly more relaxed.
"You should be more aware of your surroundings, I've been tailing you for three days."
You gaped at him and slowly placed your kuni back in its holster.
"Why have you been following me, Kakuzu?"
He looked away from you when you said his name and you thought he looked... sheepish. You embarrassed Kakuzu; you were putting that on your accomplishment list.
"You know a lot about bounty hunting.." He trailed off.
You sensed there was an 'and'.
"And you're quite pleasing to look at, Y/N."
Your face flamed and you looked up at the sky. The rain continued to come down heavy but the warmth that was suddenly beside you made you stifle a smile. You turned to look at Kakuzu who looked straight ahead.
"We're going bounty hunting, now."
You rolled your eyes as he started to walk away but you both knew you were going to follow.

Sasori:
"Let go of me you jackasses!" You screeched at the top of your lungs.
You were being held by two men with your arms and legs tied. Normally you would have been able to remove yourself from the situation but it was late at night and you were still groggy from what little sleep you actually got. Unfortunately for you your friends had coaxed you into going camping that night so you were in the middle of nowhere and they were knocked out from all the alcohol they had consumed.
"This is pitiful."
Your captors had the decency to looked panicked. You continued to thrash in their hold but stopped screaming. Grunts and groans soon came from one of the men holding you and your legs were free. You landed with one foot in the dirt twisted your body and flung the other man to the floor. He was then dragged along the floor and crushed by a wooden puppet, the same puppet you thought your sensei destroyed.
"We make a good team," you called out to your saviour.
The red-haired man you fought weeks ago came into your eye-line. His large puppet sat next to him and another with blue hair on his other side. You brushed your hair from your face as you puffed out a breath. You cursed yourself for not being able to handle yourself but you felt gratitude towards the puppet man.
"Thank you," you said genuinely.
His blank expression didn't change, instead he nodded. He made a move to leave but you called him to a stop.
"You have a name."
"How observant of you."
You sighed in irritation, "what is it?"
His lips did twitch at the question and after contemplating answering for a while he told you, "it's Sasori."

Deidara:
The festival had gone on for another week and it was its last day. You hadn't seen the blonde stranger since that first night, the night he practically promised you the greatest firework show in the world. As it was the last day and the fireworks were to be shown that night as well, you climbed the same hill and watched the horizon.
A voice over the speakers proclaimed the fireworks were about to start so you settled yourself on the grass and looked up. After the first few explosion you noticed something was off, they were exploding differently and the colours somehow seemed more vibrant. You smiled up at the sky which was once dark and leaned back on your hands.
"Well I'll be damned."
"I told you, un."
You smirked, not removing your eyes from the spectacular firework show. The blonde sat down next to you and held out a sculpture similar to the one he was making when you first met. You smiled at the memory and that smile increased when he placed it in your hand gently. Your attention was brought away from the firework show to man next to you, his eyes boring into yours. He sent you a smirk which caused your cheeks to flame.
"They are impressive," you commented, still staring into his bright blue eyes, "and I don't just mean the fireworks."
You sent him a playful wink and let out a chuckle. It was his turn to go red but he smiled none-the-less.
"So great firework master, do you have a name?"
"It's Deidara, un, but I might stick to 'great firework master'."
He stared at you for a moment before he asked you yours. You poured chakra into your palm to emit a small flame.
"Y/N, great fire master."
You both burst into laughter moments later.

Tobi:
"But Tobi's a good boy, Tobi doesn't want to go."
You had just completed a mission and you and your team were on your way back to the village. It was a usually quiet road so you expected no trouble but when you heard the high voice you couldn't help the falter in your stride. Your team noticed and stopped beside you. You cautiously scanned your surroundings before a flash of orange entered your vision.
"Pretty girl!"
You were soon encompassed in a hug. Your eyes bugged out of their sockets, your arms pinned to your sides. Your team took a defensive stance but you shook your head at their actions.
"T-Tobi?" You asked hesitantly.
He gasped, "you remember me?"
He released you from your hug and placed his hands over where his cheeks were. You nodded and scratched the back of your neck, ignoring the stares of your teammates. You looked at the Akatsuki member through your lashes and shrugged at his gleeful giggle.

"You're hard to forget."
"Tobi is so happy the pretty girl remembers him!"
As happy as you were to see him again, your eye twitched at the common use of his name for you. Tobi didn't notice your change in attitude and danced around you happily.
With a weary glance at your team you uttered, "you can call me Y/N you know, it is my name."
Tobi stopped dancing and gripped your shoulders gently. You glimpsed a sharingan behind the hole in his mask and you stifled a gasp. With an assertive nod of his head he quickly flung you over your shoulder and fled with his blonde companion behind him.

Zetsu:
You hadn't thought much about your encounter with the black and white man, but when you did you couldn't help but smile at the strangeness of it all. You were having one of those moments when you walked directly into someone's back.
"Wow, I'm so sorry, I wasn't loo-"
You stopped short as you locked eyes with the strange man from earlier that day. The white half looked shocked whilst the black half just looked pissed.
"We have been looking for you."
"Yeah, for hours," the black half growled.
You put your hands on your hips, a pout forming.
"Well I'm deeply sorry but I didn't know anyone was looking for me. Why WERE you looking for me?"
The man in front of you looked hesitant, his yellow eyes darting over unfamiliar faces then landing on yours.
"We wanted to apologise for earlier; that was not how we wanted it to turn out," he said as he handed you one of the most beautiful flowers you had ever seen.
You dazzled him with a smile and took the flower. You weren't upset about earlier and there was something about the man in front of you that really made you want to know him more, especially with that dual personality of his.
"You can make it up to me by telling me your name."
Both sides look startled but they answered, "Zetsu."
You held out your hand, "I'm Y/N."
