"I can't believe you know her... Hey... where'd she go?" Hidan had gotten out of bed, stark naked, and was standing in the hallway, looking for Emiri, "Damn she's a good ninja..."

"She is..." Hitomi chuckled softly before getting up with the blanket wrapped around her body.

"Why're you covering your body?" Hidan frowned at her, "You should be proud of it..."

"Everyone is probably going to know we slept together and I'm going to die..." she sighed softly.

Hidan frowned before glancing over, "Oh hey Kakuzu."

"Hidan put some pants on..." Kakuzu sighed and went to the bathroom.

"See? No one cares when I walk around naked. You should totally do it too." Hidan grinned.

Hitomi giggled, "Alright, alright..." She dropped the blanket and walked past Hidan, getting her ass smacked on the way.

"Dat ass." Hidan grinned and Hitomi rolled her eyes.

Hitomi went and knocked on Itachi's door, "Emiri? Are you in there?"

"HITOMI!" she was interrupted by Kisame covering his face, "Why aren't you wearing anything! Put some clothes on!"

Emiri opened the door, "Put some clothes on, One-san. I'm talking with Ita-kun."

"Ita-kun? When did you get so friendly?" Hitomi chuckled.

"Just go put some clothes on." Emiri rolled her eyes and shut the door.

"I need a shower!" Hitomi went to the bathroom, "Kakuzu! Open the door!"

She waited a couple minutes before Hidan came and just opened the door, "He's in the shower, go join him and freak him out. It'll be funny."

Hitomi giggled and nodded, sneaking in and listening to the shower water run. She licked her teeth and watched Kakuzu showering behind the curtain. He wasn't looking over to where she was. She grinned and sneaked to the back of the shower, slipping in. However, the moment she got in, Kakuzu heard the shower curtain and turned, getting her sprayed with ice cold water.

"OH MY GOD!" she shrieked, "THAT'S FUCKING COLD!"

Kakuzu frowned, "Then get out."

"You're not paying the water bill, turn it on hot!" she reached for the water handle.

He grabbed her wrist, "You touch that and I'll kill you."

"It's free fucking water! Get your money's worth!" she yelled.

"Get out first." he growled.

"I need a shower." she pouted.

He looked her up and down, "Where are your clothes?"

"No one takes a shower with their clothes on, jackass..." she grumbled, hugging herself tightly and shivering violently. Her teeth chattered loudly.

He opened the curtain a little and peeked out, "Again, where are your clothes?"

"In my room."

He sighed, "Damn it, woman... get out."

"Dun wanna." she frowned.

He growled and suddenly his hand was at her throat and it wasn't long before she was seeing stars. She gasped and choked for air, struggling feebly against his grip. She reached in the shower for something, pulling down the curtain rod and trying to hit him with it.

"What is going on in there?" Hidan called and walked in, "Kakuzu what the fuck are you doing! Trying to kill her! Get off!"

Kakuzu had to be pulled off by Hidan and Kisame both, glaring at Hitomi. When he let go, however, she bolted to her room before collapsing.

When Hitomi woke up, Emiri was at her side.

"I never got to ask you... why you're here..." Hitomi breathed, sitting up.

"Let's just say we're both in huge trouble with Konoha..." Emiri sighed softly.

"I see... I'm sorry I pulled you into this..." Hitomi frowned softly.

"It's alright..." Emiri shrugged, "At least you and I are still friends..."

"What about Katerinu?" Hitomi frowned.

"I'm afraid she's betrayed us..." Emiri looked forlorn.

Hitomi looked down, "I'm sorry... it's all my fault..."

"No. We're both in this together." Emiri smiled, "Anyways, if it wasn't for you I would have never met Ita-kun..."

Hitomi nodded, "Alright... So we're sticking together then?"

"Of course. Duh." Emiri smiled.

Then Hitomi and Emiri grinned, both saying in unision,

"Friends forever."
