Chapter 2: Close Call

It's been five days since Kisa has settled down into the Akatsuki. Accepted by everyone, she's finally being assigned her first mission today.

"Nii-san! Wakey Wakey, nya!" she jumped on his bed happily.

"I'm up, I'm up." Kisame gave into her nagging after 15 minutes and sat up.

She couldn't sleep last night from her excitement. The blood through her veins kept her moving and made her mind uneasy. Hopping off the bed after accomplishing her goal, she ran out to the kitchen searching through everything and anything within her short body's reach. Not finding her favorite food in the whole world, she sat on the ground annoyed.

"Looking for this?" came the deep voice of Kakazu.

She nodded in reply and got excited again as he handed her a bag of apples.

"Think of that as a 'Good Luck on your first mission' present." he began to walk off until she hugged his leg smiling up at him. "Thank you~!"

In total and utter shock he just stood there. He's never been hugged before. It was different to him, and he felt bad as the girl backed away sadly, so he brought her back into a hug.

"Sorry, Kisa. Just not used to hugs." he smiled reassuringly and chuckled as he saw her face brighten up again and hug him tighter, then running off. "Oh, that kid's something." he sighed to himself and walked back into his room.

Kisa ran into Tobi's room, who was surprisingly awake.

"Tobi! Tobi! Our Mission's today!" she hugged him tightly.

"Yay! Deidara-Senpai is coming too!"

"The barbie? Yay!" she was so excited.

Within the next couple of hours, Tobi, Deidara, and Kisa were ready for their mission. An Assassination. She was to be the bait to bring the men into the two Akatsuki Member's trap. The mission is located within the Earth Country [Hidden Rock Village to be specific]. This Village was Deidara's home village, and he was not going to enjoy his time there.

"Deidei! Where did ya hide my apples?" Kisa pouted. If you haven't noticed, yes, she loves apples with every fiber of her being.

He groaned in annoyance. He took them away from her since she was eating them one after another. He didn't want her getting sick from eating too many. Sadly, it seemed only he had the sense in this group.

"Shh, nya!" she covered Tobi and Deidara's mouths, and pulled them behind some trees.

"I swore I saw a girl who was half cat, a guy with a pumpkin head, and a human barbie doll here! It was hilarious!" a guy with white hair and shark teeth laughed.

"Shut up, Suigetsu! We don't have time for this!" yelled a red headed girl with glasses to match.

"But I'm not lying!"

"Hold on guys." she followed the presences of Tobi and Deidara, whom haven't concealed theirs, but luckily, they had backed away enough so Kisa would still be a secret to the Akatsuki. "Awe! She's so cute! Hi! I'm Karin!"

"H-Hi! I'm Kisa!" Kisa climbed onto Karin's back giggling as Karin walked back.

Tobi and Deidara watched from a distance. Now concealing their charka's to not be found. These people were from Orochimaru. Tobi and Deidara knew they had to do something, anything to get her back before they took her. Only God knows what would happen if they were to get their hands on her.

"Hey! I remember you! You're Kisame's little sister! What are you doing out here!" Suigetsu asked the little girl.

"I got separated from my team on a mission, nya~! They were on their way to the Hidden Rock Village when we got attacked by rogue's and they ran off, nya~! They left me for dead, but luckily I can heal, nya!" she answered as Tobi and Deidara sighed in relief that she was very good at lying on the spot.

"Oh. Well, want us to take you there, to find them?" Suigetsu asked.

"No. We don't have time, Suigetsu." scolded a guy with a weird hair style and charcoal colored eyes.

Kisa giggled when she noticed the man. "Your hair looks like a duckies butt mister, nya!" she couldn't contain her laughing.

After a very long talk with them, Kisa finally got them away from her with her clever thinking and started back toward her mission. Tobi and Deidara jumped down after the group had left, and kept praising Kisa for her surprisingly amazing skills at lying with such a young age.

Though, that may be counted as a 'close call', they won't be as lucky the next time.
