Summary: While hanging out with Kakazu, Kagome asks him a question that was drifting through her head for a while.

Hidan shook off what he had thought and glared at Kagome.

"Why are you still here anyways?"

"Because Itachi-kun and fishface are on a mission, Tobi-kun and Deidara-senpai are sick, Zetsu-san's acting wierd, and Kakazu-kun's busy."

As if on cue, Kakazu suddenly walked in.

"Those taxes weren't as tough as Leader-sama said they would be," he muttered, smirking proudly under his mask.

"There, go hang out with Kakazu-san!" Hidan pulled Kagome by her wrist and pushed her into Kakazu.

The masked man coughed nervously as the young girl was pushed into his chest. "But, I, uh-"

"You're free? Great, now go!" Hidan interupted, pushing the two out of the room and slamming the door behind them. He sighed inwardly and leaned against the door, trying to shake those disturbing thoughts off.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Kakazu looked down at Kagome. The cat nin looked back up at him and smiled. Kakazu sighed and started to walk away, not really minding which direction he w as going off too.

"Hey, wait up Kakazu-kun!" Kagome cried, jogging to catch up with the masked man. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Um...OK, shoot."

"Do you ever get lucky?"

The masked man did a double take.

"Wha- What the hell do you mean?" Kakazu croaked, whipping his head around to stare at the 'innocent' girl.

"Did you ever get lucky? I mean, with a girl?" Kagome repeated slowly, as if it was the most simplest thing in the world."I mean...with the scars on your body, the four face thingys on your back, and the thread like-things running through your body...have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Kakazu's eyebrow twitched uncomfturabely at the present subject. He truthfully couldn't remember the last time he went on a date...

"Y-yes," the masked man uttered, trying to walk faster than the cat nin. But Kagome easily caught up.

"Did she also have threads running through her body?"

"I don't remember."

"Well, when was the-"

Kakazu interupted her. "Why did you even come up with that subject?"

Kagome paused and brought a finger up to her chin. "I don't know. It just popped into my mind.

"Well," Kakazu started, looking away from her, "I...don't think I had much dates because of my appearence."

Kagome stared up at him. The masked man swore he saw sympathy in her eyes.

"Well, I think you look really cool without your mask!" she said, beaming brightly. Kakazu continued to stare down at her. There was silence.

"Hey Kakazu-kun," Kagome suddenly said, making Kakazu jump.

"Yeah?"

"Am I your girlfriend?"

The masked man's eyes widened. "What?"

Kagome frowned. "Are you slow today or something? Am I your friend?"

"I guess..."

"So I'm your girlfriend!"

Kakazu sweatdropped as the words sunk in. She meant a girl that was his friend. The masked man sighed.

God this girl was complicated.

"Oh, and I gotta say, even if you do have those scars, you still look pretty cute!"

Kakazu blushed under his mask. "What?"

Kagome laughed. "Well, I'm going to go check up on Tobi-kun and Deidara-senpai. Bye!" With a wave, Kagome was gone. Kakazu stood there for a moment before walking straight back to his room. He slammed the door open and sat down at his desk. Hidan looked over at him.

"Did she make you feel the same way too?"

-shrugs- I dunno. I seriously didn't like this one. It was shorter than the others, and the ending really sucked.

The next one is Orochimaru. I fully understand that he's not part of the Akatsuki anymore, but...it's going to be like Sasori's chapter. More flashbacks. Woo.
