"You're what?" he asked softly, not wanting to hear what he had heard.

"I'm pregnant with your child," Konan replied. "And all this time, you had another woman. Thank you, Pien, for showing me how you really are." With that, she turned away and left. She decided she would leave tomorrow. Maybe that other girl was suited for him. She seemed to know him. All to well actually. Besides, she could probably keep the man in place.

"Don't leave…" Pien said getting up. The crazed girl, who had insulted him, had seemed to disappear. He put his face in his hands; he hoped it was a dream. He let out a soft sigh. Why did people always think they were lovers? They weren't, not even close. It would be too disgusting. He got up, well then, he better find a way for Konan to understand. He didn't want her to go just yet. But… a child? When had that happened?

Knowing it was best to go after not Konan, but the other woman, he left the room. He walked out into the hall, dawning a shirt on himself. Zetsu stood in the hallway, not saying a thing. Zetsu knew of the intruder. He knew who the girl was. Lifting his head, both sides didn't say anything.

"Don't," was the only thing Pien said. "I already got it from both of them."

Zetsu just shrugged as he entered a room. Apparently he didn't want to get involved. And yet, how Zetsu knew of the girl was still a mystery to the leader. No one should've met her. "She's outside," the voice said from behind the door. "Get her before she leaves you." Pien didn't even think, he reacted by charging through the hideout. When the door opened once more, Zetsu did not step out, but the girl. A small smile settled on her lips.

"Now, the real fun and games will begin, Pien dear," she smirked. "Would you push away those that are part of you? Will you truly not have the heart to love them as you did her?" Mystery shrouded the girl. She knew more of Pien anyone else. It was almost like she grew up with him. But that couldn't be right… right? I mean, he was an only child… right?

Nothing ever is as it seems.

Konan wasn't outside. Instead, four figures were sitting on a tree, each to its own branch. The one furtherest from the ground jumped down, all features still hooded. Pien cocked an eyebrow. Who was it? He crossed his arms. Should it be a quick or a slow kill? Before he could decide, the figure spoke.

"So easily forgotten, am I?" the voice… it sounded… familiar. "Though, I suppose, after as many… you would forget the one you named, wouldn't you?" The figure stood up, and removed the hood. Hair just like Pien's, body structure similar, but much more flexible and… the look of hatred was embedded in those eyes. Eyes just like Pien's. "And even then, I suppose, you won't ever remember me. Even with all the hints you've been given."

Pien racked his brain. He knew this person from somewhere. He imaged a much smaller and younger child. Who... who was he?

The three other figures landed on the ground. One was clearly a girl, the way the cloak fit her figure. She had put a hand on the male's shoulder. Calm down, it said to him. She looked at the leader of the Akatsuki and shook her head with disgust. It was apparent she did not like him, well, not as much as the man in front of her.

"And you are…?" the girl asked.

"…" Pien did not answer. "Where's Konan?"

"Who? Oh wait, you mean the girl with flower right?" the male replied with a smirk, so close to Pien's. "I can't say. She could be in the ground, in the sky… or well… she could be just a pile of ash." Nothing about their demeanor suggested that they didn't do it. Noting about their demeanor suggest they did it. With a sigh, he rolled his eyes.

"She was really pretty, she was," the girl said now, apparently teasing the man. "But where she is… we cannot say. Whether she is rotting in the ground or flying up above. After all, it's so sad you search for someone you know less than us." She didn't ooze out any hatred, but she did not sound happy. The smallest of the hooded figures, well remaining hooded figures, walked over to Pien. He didn't go into attack mode. Small child like hands reached up toward the man.

"D-d-d-daddy?" the small voice said cautiously. "When are you gonna c'me home?" The hood fell from its position, revealing ocean blue eyes and a very pale white hair. "When are you gonna c'me home?" The arms were still held up toward him, as if expecting something. "A'ntie says you h've ta do som'thin' big."

The other small picked up the small child in his arms, ignoring Pien. He walked over to back to the other girl. His glare got colder, if that were possible. A snarl was once again on his lips, his hatred growing. "Tell me, are still you taking orders from a power hungry fool?"

The intruder walked along the halls, her hand lightly touching the wall. Ah yes, she knew this place well. She remembered when she helped build it. Of course, no one would remember her. She let out a small laugh. Was she that easy to forget? Did even her own- no, he wouldn't, would he? Not with all the trouble she sent his way. She let her feet take her anywhere she wanted to go.

'Don't forget the deal,' a voice echoed in her mind. 'Don't forget what you promised.'

"I know," she whispered softly. "I know." But her promise would be impossible to do. Just as she wanted. Her eyes hardened as she made herself unseen. As she rounded a corner, a hand squeezed her shoulder gently.

"What are you doing here?" the voice asked.

"Noooooothin'," the girl gave a cheeky smile. Such a cheeky, cheeky smile she gave, almost as if she was trying to act innocent. She put her hand on top of his. "I won't cause too much trouble now. "

"Of that I don't believe," the gravelly voice replied. "But I can't stop you, regardless." The girl gave him a grin, and squeezed the hand hang once. Her eyes went calm for a moment. Ah yes, he did always know her, didn't he? He always knew what she was going to do, before she did it. "They're outside."

The girl rushed out from under his grip as she made her way, toward another part of the room. Hopefully, her plan would work. Hopefully, it would all end soon. She touched her chest. It would end soon; it would end when she said it did.

'It's my turn,' she thought once more. 'It's my turn to teach you about the pain I've suffered.' She was only a light breeze as she past the other members. Finally finding what she was looking for, she carried in her arms, like a mother would their child. And yet, looking down, the girl still asleep, she wondered if she was able to pull through with it.

'What would you? What would you do if I were to break her?' the girl thought once more. 'Would you hurt me again, like all those years ago? I bet you don't even remember me… Nagato.'

"What. Did. You. Do. To. Her?" Pien's voice grounded out, ignoring the small figures. He glared at the boy. The older one, of course. The only response he got was cruel laughter, much crueler than his own. Why couldn't kids be so much more obedient nowadays? Why did they have to always get on his nerves?

"Us? Why nothing. We did nothing at all but bring you out here," the male said, laughter lingering on his lips. He tilted his head to the side, showing his eyes. Something that was in the back of Pien's mind was snapped to the front. He remember when he last saw those hateful eyes.

"Mi-"

"You have no right to use that name," the boy snapped. "You deserve what you get!"

"Pien!" a female voice's screeched. It was Konan's as she was being dangled from the roof, a hand clasped around her throat. It was clear her air was limited, and that outcry cost her much. The hand belonged to the intruder. The girl who now made herself known. A crazed smile took over her face.

"Oh, what now, brother dear? What will you do?" she questioned happily. "What would give up? A love that can never be? Or…" She let it trail, nodding toward the group. "Or would you abandon them again for another whore in your book?" She rested one hand on her hip, which was bleeding. She didn't notice.

"Put her gently back down on the roof," he warned. Pien was seriously thinking of killing the girl. "I mean it." A small giggle was heard, as she kept the girl dangling even further away from the roof.

"And since when have I ever listened to you?" she asked quietly. "You never listen to me…" An old ghost haunted her empty eyes as she said the blue haired girl on the roof with a loud thud. A moment later, Konan started to scream in pain. No one knew what exactly happened on that roof, away from everyone's sight, but the female akatsuki had an ankle shattered, three broken ribs and wrists, arms and hands had to be in splints.

And Konan never said what she saw. But later that night, as all the members entered Pien's office for a meeting, there was a small surprise. The girl who nearly killed Konan was leaning against the wall, along with the four other hooded figures. They decided to not reveal who they were to the others. Although, Kakazu probably knew.

The girl was so still, you'd confuse her for a statue, hair covered her face, so no one knew if she was alive or not. She studied each face that looked at her. She memorized their figures, how they acted, and even how they changed position. Pien was looking down at a file in front of him.

"Everyone, this is Ukiko," Pien said. "Better known as Koko. She will be temporarily staying with us. " That was all that needed to be said. But yet, as the group looked at her, Hidan just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"And who the fucking hell is she?" he just had to ask. The girl slowly moved her head, her tired eyes meeting his. She then, painfully slow, pushed off the wall. She was tired, hungry, pissed, really bloodthirsty and this man had the gal to dare curse?! He had no fucking right.

"Who she is-" but Pien was cut off once again,

"Let me tell you who I fucking am, Mr. Women are Digusting. I'm the person you least want to bloody hell fucking piss off. I'm the person is mostly likely to rip you to fucking little pieces and make you eat it and eat again if you throw it up. I'm the person who makes the monster under children's bed look under their own! I'm-"

An idiotic fool (namely Tobi) decided to cut her off, adding fuel to her anger.

"You mean there's a monster under the bed?"

"KOKO NO!"

A little longer this time. But don't expect much.
