She threw a suriken at the last man with whom she was fighting for long minutes… he was the last, he was the strongest…
-I know that if you weren't be on a mission you would beat me… but it seems that Fortuna is with me….
-Please, don't make easily conclusions… - she gasped.
All of her body was already hurting… It hurt like shit…she wanted already to finish it, but that poison… she was a good fighter, but she wasn't immortal…
The purple eyes were tired, but they had still fire…and the fiery look still persuaded the man that… she was really a good… excellent mother and wife.
-It's not a conclusion… just a comment… I would never underestimate you…
-Then… why haven't you killed, attacked me?
-I know that you are protecting that child and in your view I agree, but…
-Why aren't you helping me?
-If I do it, my family would be killed… - the man answered – I was the only who stand for you ground before the council… that's their answer…please, tell where did you hide the boy?
-Thanks – she whispered ignoring his question– I will try not to take your life…
The man stayed in quiet. He just nodded.

-Hidan…
-Do you smell blood too?
-Yes.
-Come after me – Hidan jumped over his partner and he left him behind.
-Don't you think that I'm a ninja too? – Kakuzu thought but he didn't say a thing…

The man cut her with a skillful attack that made her scream… for the first time after a long time ago… she felt to her back into the snow, deepening into it a little. The warmth of the pain and the coldness of the snow were tasting her body which was an odd feeling… and the poison still had that spicy taste in her mind. She almost passed out due to that odd feeling but something kept her spirit in her…
Don't give up…
The man crouched down next to her and he drew strange shaped sword.
-It won't be painful – he took it before her neck – we can't stop the poison already, so it's the best end for you…
-Ansuyu… - she whispered and she tried to sat up or just move but she couldn't move any part of her body.
-Sorry…

-Kakuzu… who the heck are they? – Hidan asked almost without voice as they were watching from the shelter of the bushes.
-Ninjas from Snow Village.
-I know that already! – Hidan murmured angrily.
-Then why did you ask it? – Kakuzu asked. Hidan stayed in quiet for a moment but then he asked again:
-If I'm not mistaken they are talking about a child… could it be that child?
-Could.
-Do you have at least an own opinion? – Hidan asked angrily.
-Yes. She is his guardian…maybe… - Kakuzu answered calmly – what the heck?! – he muttered with disbelief.
-What you matter? - Hidan murmured.
-Don't you feel it? – Kakuzu hissed back and he jumped up to the nearest branch…
______________________________________
-Sorry… - the man said again and his hands were about to move when some cracking noise sounded in the deadly silence. Little nails crawled in the inside of the waistcoat impatiently.
-Don't hurt her… - boyish voice whispered into the man's ear.
The man's body fell to the ground next to the woman.
-Are you alright? – the boy asked on a cruel tune still which was more like a man's voice.
How can a little child have such a voice?
The woman sat up groaning silently. She looked up to the boy…
_______________________________
-Wow… - Hidan whispered with a grin on his face – that child can something!
-Now – he heard Kakuzu's voice and they jumped down…
***
She looked up to the boy and she hugged her suddenly tightly.
-Get out from him – she whispered. The boy tried to get out from her hug but in the end he calmed down and he hugged back her.
-Mommy…
-Yes, honey?
-My hand is wet, and it's sticky…
-Honey… it's nothing…
-Mommy, it's blood…
-My blood dear… - she answered calmly but then she turned to the new voices that she heard. A strange man stood before her who had strange cloak.
-Give him to us –he said he had a mask that covered his face just his green eyes exuded.
-Mum, I don't want to go with them…
-I won't let them to have you… - she whispered back but suddenly she felt that somebody appeared behind her… she moved too slowly to dodge the hit… something hit her back of her head… the world went back for her.
The boy looked up to the man who was standing before his mother. That man was tall with shiny white hair.
-What did you do…
-Oi, Kakuzu… should I… - Hidan started his question but suddenly he felt a strong hit on his chest that made him fell to his back and skipping for meters.
-WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HER? – the boy screamed angrily but not on a boyish voice… it was low…manly… - HAAA?
The boy wanted to jump at Hidan but Kakuzu appeared in a second, and he took a cloth before his mouth and he hugged him not to move… the boy fought for minutes for fresh breath but then he passed out too.
-WHAT THE FREAKING HELL? – Hidan yelled angrily.
-Take her; we are heading back to the HQ – Kakuzu said emotionlessly and he took the boy and he jumped away.
-Is it your fuckin' habit that I always have to carry the heavier things?! – Hidan screamed angrily.
