"Please, Kakuzu," Hidan begged.
Shikamaru came back with a pack and shoved it towards Hidan.
"Come on, Mitsuko. You guys are leaving out the back," Shikamaru said almost emotionless. Her brother stood beside him.
"I don't want to leave," Mitsuko whimpered as she followed the group out the door. She wanted to stay home with her family and forget about everything.
Shikamaru handed something to Kakuzu. "Some clothes," he grunted and Kakuzu snatched them from him. While Hidan and Mitsuko were facing Shikamaru and Haru, Kakuzu quickly put the clothes on.
"I'll try to convince the Hokage that you aren't a criminal, Mitsuko, and that you were kidnapped but you have to flee from the Fire Country. There will be wanted signs and bounties on your heads. It's best if you go to another country. I'll try to keep in contact with you," When Kakuzu stood up and faced him, totally clothed and not nude, Shikamaru smirked, "And if you return my daughter to me when it's safe, I'll give you some money."
Kakuzu grinned. He'd be willing to do almost anything for money.
"What's in it for me?" Hidan asked, putting his hands on his hips.
"Nothing 'cause you were the cause of my daughter's troubles!" Shikamaru pointed in his face.
"Damn it," Hidan sighed and adjusted the pack on his shoulder.
"Okay, enough said. You all better get going," Shikamaru said when he heard running and shouting.
"Papa..." Mitsuko cried and hugged him.
"Don't worry, Mitsuko. We'll be right there with you the whole time," Shikamaru whispered as he brushed her long black hair with his hand. She pulled away and hugged Haru.
"Make dad proud," he whispered to her, patting her back.
Mitsuko sniffed and walked back beside Hidan.
"Can you run fast?" Kakuzu asked her. She shook her head. She was the slowest in her class. Kakuzu sighed and squatted down, putting his hands at his sides. "Get on," he mumbled.
Mitsuko reluctantly crawled onto his back and held on to his shoulders. He held her up by her legs and stood straight. He was so creepy and Mitsuko could feel large bumps coming out of his back.
"Ready?" Kakuzu asked Hidan.
"I've been ready," Hidan smirked. Really, he had, he had just been waiting for the perfect time to ditch this place.
Mitsuko glanced back at her father and brother. Haru waved with a supporting smile as her father stood there, smug. She knew he wanted to smoke a cigarette so bad, but this wasn't a good time. He probably didn't want her to remember her last moments of him smoking a cigarette but she did. That's how she'll always remember him.
