Didn't she say she came here with her niece? Hidan thought in a buzz. He ran as fast as he could *once again in a hurry o_o* to reach the lake he saw the boy who recognized 'Asoya-chan'. He looked around and saw the tree that guys was in. He looked down at Hidan with his misty eyes.

"Back again?" he asked smartly.

"Uh, yeah, whatever…" Hidan looked with an eyebrow raised. "Hey you know Asoya right?"

"Asoya-chan."

"Yes, whatever, but I need you to help me."

"Is something wrong with Asoya-chan?" the boy said concerned.

"No, but could you tell me where her niece lives?" Hidan said sheepishly.

"You...Are interested in a 14-year-old?" the boy laughed to himself.

"You sick fuck…" Hidan mumbled under his breath.

"Look, she lives at the Mizu-Apartments; the biggest building in this village besides the Mizukage's building."

"Thanks," Hidan held out a peace sign, turning around to go to his destination.

"Wait," The boy called.

"Huh?" Hidan turned to him.

"Are you going to see Asoya-chan?"

"…Yes."

"Tell her Utakata-kun is sorry."

"Sure, I will…" Hidan started his walk once again. First that little kid, now this…Utakata? Too many messages if you ask me! I should've been a fuckin mailman if was going to deliver words to people.

Hidan thought sourly. But walking onward, Hidan soon stops getting so worked up, for now a giant building is standing in front of him.

Itachi looked over at Sasori as they both sweat dropped regrettably for accepting another act of gratitude, as Miss Ituushiannai says. She's the caretaker of Vio-chibi, the purple-haired child the two men found earlier. She had them in her Tatami house, sipping tea with her and Vio-chibi's mother.

"Really, Ituushiannai-chan, we're okay to go now." Sasori smiled as sweet as the worlds would let him.

"No, no, no. You can't go," The woman cried. Itachi looked over at Sasori as if to tell him to fix this. Sasori sighed and hugged Ituushiannai.

"Are you okay?" Itachi asked, holding out a hand.

"Oh, dearie me. I'm getting worked up over nothing. It's just-just, I lost my family when I was a little girl. A big fire, so elegantly silent, destroyed many homes back in the Iron country."

"The…Iron country?" Sasori questioned.

"Isn't that where they have Samurai instead of Shinobi to protect the village?" Itachi slowly said.

"Indeed, but a story's a story. Questions are irrelevant," She said, wanting to end the conversation. Itachi and Sasori understood.

"Well I'm okay, you can go back to your families, I'm sure that'd be better than hanging with this old bag." Ituushiannai laughed quietly. Sasori's eyes got wide. Itachi looked away.

"We're like you…we don't have a family." Itachi said.

Ituushiannai covered her mouth with her hand. "I'm so sorry" she gasped.

"Well you have each other," Ituushiannai smiled.

"Yeah…" Sasori smiled and looked over at his strangely acting comrade.

A/N—I know I know, too short, too short

But still, I have a life (and writers block D: ) So, what do we have here…A disclamer? O ya, I don't own Hidan, Itachi, or Sasori, okk?

PS-Ituushiannai is a pun, Ituushi meaning adorable, and annai meaning guidance ^_^
