A/N: Okay .. so in my last one, Hidan was kind of OOC, with the whole "I want to share her beauty with Jashin" and stupid crap like that. Ugh, I apologize. I'm not very good at keeping the characters IN CHARACTER. :P

Well, Read, Enjoy and hopefully Review.


Once the very large group of Pulsians (excluding the two Akatsuki members) reached Oerba, most of the hunters quickly took the monster meat, and gave them to merchants to sell, and to their chiefs. Vanille was told to take the duo to their new 'home', while Fang went to talk to the chiefs of the Yun and Dia clan.

"So ... this is Oerba. Are there any other clans?" Kakuzu asked the red head.

"Yes, there are. But the major clans are Dia and Yun. There are a few other sub-clans, but all of the clans are basically one big family" she replied cheerfully.

After that quick conversation, the rest of the walk was a bit quiet, except for Vanille's humming. Kakuzu just wanted to check in with the leader and get it over with, while Hidan, uncharacteristically, longed to see Fang.

"Alright you guys! Here are your rooms!"

"So, wait. We're staying with ... whom?"

"Well, as much as I'm sure you want your own empty house to use, Fang apparently said we don't have any empty houses. And because you've never been here before, we've made a decision; to let you stay with Fang and me!" Vanille said joyfully.

All of the sudden, Hidan started jumping around, as if he was a young child who inhaled too many sweets and sugar, and almost bounced off the walls with joy.

"Is he usually like this?"

"Not even close. He's usually either praying to his 'god' Jashin or throwing swears at me and everyone around him every two seconds" Kakuzu responded.

"Who's 'Jashin'?" the young woman asked curiously.

"Ask Hidan once he's calmed down. And could you ask the insane idiot why he's been so hyper, even though I'm pretty sure of the answer?"

"Sue, why not?"

"Uh, thanks. Can you leave now?" the tall man asked a bit rudely.

"Sure!" Vanille said again, with no change of tone in her pleasant voice.

After Vanille left, Kakuzu finally got some peace and quiet. He immediately contacted his leader, Pein, and told him what has happened since they have left. He also asked how long he and the Jashinist should stay here.

"At least for three weeks. Their time." Pein told Kakuzu.

"Their time? What, do they have a different time schedule than we do, hm?" Deidara asked.

"Who knows, but it could be different. We'll just have to wait and see." Kisame replied.

"And if anything goes wrong, leader?"

"We'll send over another duo. I'm not who I would send over though. I'll contemplate it.. This meeting's over." Pein stated, his hologram disappearing.

"Catch you later, Kakuzu, hm?"

"Bye bye Kakuzu-san! BYE!" an orange-masked ninja yelled, his hologram also disappearing.

While Kakuzu ended his meeting, Hidan was off on his own, walking around Oerba. He occasionally bumped into a few women, who would give him flirty looks. Unfortunately, Hidan was sick of trying to find Fang by himself, and asked a young merchant about the beautiful woman.

"I haven't got the faintest idea sir. She's probably with the chief of the Yun clan. After all, she is the heiress to the throne." the young man replied.

"SHE'S THE HEIRESS TO THE THRONE? AN HEIRESS?" Hidan cried out, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Yes ... In fact, she's supposed to become the leader once she's 21."

Hidan smirked in response and left the man without thanking him. He then asked a woman where the chiefs of the two clans were, and the woman told him it was classified. The Jashinist grunted, leaving the woman so he could find the place himself.

After a few minutes of exploring the large village, Hidan passed by a nicely-sized building and overheard some voices - they were the leaders and Fang. The silver-haired man decided to eavesdrop a little bit before making his entrance.

"Are you sure it's safe to let these foreign men stay here in Oerba? What if they decided to murder us all in our sleep?"

"If Fang says they're okay, then they probably are. Of course, I understand where you're getting at. Tall men in black cloaks is something you don't see in Gran Pulse at all."

"In that case we should get rid of them! They could be a burden to our village! Think of the people first!"

"I understand what you're saying, Kanza... But because Fang will become the new heiress, why not let her decide?"

Kanza grunted in response, not saying anything after this. The leader of the Yun clan, named Kain, smiled when his comrade agreed.

"Personally," Fang paused, "I'm not really sure what to think of them. As far as I know of, they don't seem to be a big threat. But if they do anything that harms our people or disrupts the ecosystem of Gran Pulse... Then we'll execute them".

Outside, Hidan's eyebrows furrowed as he heard Fang's decision. 'Execution? It's been almost only a day and those tribal people were already thinking of killing us? What the fucking shit.' He continued to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"Alright then! This meeting's over, thank you father and Kanza." A pause. "Are we having a banquet tonight for our guests? Or are we not? Because we usually have these big dinners for visitors..."

"I believe so, we will have this dinner tomorrow night." Kanza replied.

"Thanks, I'm going to go check on Hidan and Kakuzu..." the voice got louder as it approached the door. Hidan tried to get out of the way, but he was too late. The door swung right into Hidan's face, causing his nose to bleed.

"Fucking shit!" he cursed, stumbling back, "God fucking damn! What the fuck!"

The two leaders looked at Hidan, disapproving of his use of language, and proceeded home. Fang, however, walked right over to him and knelt in front of him.

"Next time, move quicker."

"Next time, don't fucking swing the door so hard! You could've smashed my fucking head you fucking bitch!" Hidan yelled in her face.

Fang, not liking the fact that he called her a vulgar name, slapped him as hard as she could and then punched him square in the jaw.

'Next time," she said, "don't called me a bitch!" And with that, the Pulsian warrior got up and left, leaving Hidan to clean up his own mess.

"Damn women. With their stupid emotions and being sensitive and all that stupid bullshit.."

The Jashinist put his hand over his jaw. It hurt like hell, who knew Fang punched and bitch-slapped so hard? 'Well, she did take down that stupid monster thing that almost cut me into pieces in one blow.. So I guess that it makes sense.' He smirked to himself. 'Heh... I guess that's another reason to like this fucking sexy woman. Alright, time to get the fuck up.'

Hidan got up, wiped the blood off of his face onto his arm, and went back to the house.

Back at the house, the red-headed Vanille was preparing a soup that contained behemoth meat, some Pulsian vegetables and Microchu flowers. It was a very strange concoction, because most soup isn't purplish-brown. Kakuzu looked at the soup, and tried his best not to gag at it.

"Are you sure this is ... delicious?" Kakuzu asked, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"Don't worry! I know this isn't what you guys usually eat, but I promise," the young woman said, "it'll be good."

Kakuzu nodded, and left the woman to do her business. He went to his room and dug into his pocket. 'Some money that isn't worth anything here, and this..' The scarred man held it up to the sunlight that came through the window, 'strange coin. It's probably money from Pulse. Wonder what it's worth.'

Suddenly, a door swung open and the bronze Pulsian entered the house.

"Welcome back Fang! How was the meeting with Kain and Kanza?"

"Fine. How's the dinner?"

"Looking good so far. I don't know if Kakuzu will like it. He looked and sounded really unsure." Vanille said a bit sadly.

"Well don't worry, if they don't like it, they'll have to go hunting on their own!" the Pulsian woman laughed.

"Fang! That's not very nice!"

"I was joking, love. And with that, you gotta go finish the dinner! Make it delicious, Vanille!

Fang left the young red head to do her business, and proceeded to walk to the guest rooms' door.

"Hey, Kakuzu. Whaddaya doing in there?" she said loudly while knocking on the door, "Dinner's gonna be ready soon. And you better like it!"

Kakuzu grunted in response, not really paying attention to the Pulsian female. He got off the bed and exited the room, the coin in hand.

"Dinner's served!" Vanille exclaimed happily, setting down the large bowl of soup in the middle of the table. Fang brought over four bowls and some spoons and also set it on the table. Once everyone sat down, they began to eat.

"Hey, where's Hidan?"

"I don't really know, but I saw him on the way here. Stupid bastard eavesdropping on our conversation and then callin' me a bitch.."

One again, the large door swung open and there was Hidan.

"Finally! Some fucking food! I'm starving!"

Fang's eyes narrowed as she saw Hidan sit down and start eating. Vanille and Kakuzu just sweatdropped as the Jashinist drank the soup hungrily, finishing the soup in two minutes.

"Alright, I'm done," Hidan stated, his eyes suddenly looking at Fang with a flirty look, "where's the dessert?"

Extremely pissed off, Fang got out of her seat and proceeded to kick the living daylights out of the silver haired man. All the while, Kakuzu pinched the bridge of his nose and Vanille sweatdropping again.


A/N : I was having a hard time trying to end it. Hehehehe... Please Read and Review! And if you have any suggestions or anything, please tell me!

Now, a quick question. Should Pein send a duo over? And if he should which team?
