Chapter 11

Ara stood at the top of the cliffs with Hidan and Kakuzu on either side of her. They had just completed her first mission as an Akatsuki member. Hidan had a body slung over his shoulder and Ara kept eyeing it wearily. Below them lay a village; one Kakuzu had insisted they stop at.

"So, you're taking it down there, and you are going to sell it?" Ara asked softly. Kakuzu nodded. She shook her head and the three started down to the village below.

While Kakuzu completed his 'sales,' Ara and Hidan sat at a small sake house waiting patiently. Or at least Ara was, Hidan was muttering under his breath while they sat there.

"Hidan please stop." Ara said softly.

"This is fucking ridiculous. I don't know why the hell he can't just leave those fucking bodies alone.

"Hidan."

"Sorry Ara-chan." He proceeded in quieting down. While they sat there in silence a few men's voices rose from across the room. Ara fidgeted nervously while the conversation caught Hidan's interest. She closed her ears to the men's words. She already knew what they were speaking of. It was her, or at least her other half, the assassin inside her. She stared down at the cup in her hands. She hated being in public, hated having so many people around her. Setting down the cup she crossed her arms across her stomach and glared down at the table.

Hidan listened to the men for awhile and glanced over at Ara. She looked upset, staring down at her cup, ignoring everything around her. Hidan reached out and touched her arm.

"Ara." She glanced up. "What's wrong?" She shook her head and looked back down.

"Come on you two. Let's go." Kakuzu said from behind them.

They travelled to the next village and stopped for the night. Kakuzu purchased a room, with much protest from Hidan who wanted two rooms. Kakuzu couldn't be swayed, not that Ara cared either way. She had been oddly silent through the last leg of their journey that day.

After the three had soaked in the bathes they joined each other for a meal before they slept. During which Hidan decided to bring up the discussion he had overheard at the Sake house to Kakuzu. Ara set down her chopsticks and stood before moving to the door.

"Ara-chan, where are you going?" Hidan asked her. She looked back at him but left closing the door behind him.

Ara walked out into the open air breathing deeply. A light rain had started since they had gone inside and she could tell that it was just the beginning of a long storm. She walked until she came to the center of a courtyard. Lifting her face to the rain Ara let the cool, fresh water run down, cooling off her mood and clearing her mind.

Soon the light rain started to grow heavier until it soaked through her clothes to the skin hidden underneath. Thunder started to rumble above and soon lightening lit the sky. Ara didn't know how long she stood there but soon she felt a presence behind her and she turned. As she looked behind her lightening once again lit the sky showing a tall cloaked figure behind her. Ara sighed and shook her head.

"What is it Hidan?"

"What's wrong Ara? What made you run off like that?" Ara stayed silent but soon felt his warm arm on her back.

"It's nothing Hidan I just needed some air." She said softly. A warm cloak enveloped her and she looked at Hidan to see his bare chest.

"We should go back in Ara. You'll get sick in weather like this." Ara nodded her head and both turned and started back to where they were staying.
