Kenji walked up and opened the door. "Pein are you in here?" he asked.

"Yes Kenji, come take a seat." Pein replied. Kenji motioned for us to sit. He closed the door at sat down on the couch with us. "Now, what can I do for you three? Please tell me Haruka isn't pregnant, and you can't figure out who the dad is."

"O hell to no. Their aint no fucking way, I'd fuck Haruka," Kenji spat, "She's got something to request."

"Yes I do," I spoke up. "Orochimaru tried to kill me today. He is too much of a liability, and with the death of Sasori, the only person opposing us taking out Orochimaru, there is now a unanimous vote.

"I will call the rest of our group together, and see if that is so true." Pein told us.

Half an hour later we were all sitting in the living room.

Akemi and Hidan had not been too thrilled to be interrupted in the middle of their "Ceremony." Hoshi, & obi had been playing hide-and-seek, and were also mad at being interrupted.

"My dear Akatsuki, We need to decide on something. This morning Haruka, Kenji, & Deidara had a run in with Orochimaru, and it was none too pleasant; needless to say, their ready to whoop some ass."

"Not me. I'm comfortable," Kenji said lying on the couch that Akemi & Hidan weren't on.

"ANYways, we need to take a vote. Who thinks that we should leave Orochimaru alone?" No hands rose.

"Who thinks that we must hunt him down and kill him?" Everyone raised their hands. Alright, Zetsu and Kenji. Pack your bags, you are going to Otogakure.

"WHAT?" Kenji, Hidan, Akemi, & Deidara all exclaimed at once.

"But Pein, I need to go to honor Lord Jashin," Akemi & Hidan both complained.

"I need revenge on Orochimaru for nearly raping my girlfriend," Deidara spat.

"I really just don't wanna go," Kenji said, "and as I have said before, this couch is comfortable. Konan got up and sat down next to him and slowly scooted closer to him. Kenji instantly jerked up.

"Alright, Alright, I'll go. But don't expect me to enjoy it," he yelled, storming off.

I just stared at him as he stormed off. He and Zetsu were an unlikely duo. Zetsu and plant; Kenji a blind guy, but they worked well together, and were pretty good friends. I just watched as the unlikely duo walked upstairs to their rooms to prepare for their mission.

Hidan, Deidara, & Akemi were still fuming, but I felt safer knowing that Zetsu & Kenji were handling this mission. Just something about the other three staying behind made me feel; more secure. Akemi & Hidan would both fall to Orochimaru's power; they would be unable to resist it. Kenji had better judgment than them, and with Deidara, I couldn't live without him and if something happened to him, then my world would shatter. Kenji's cool headed temperament would come in handy.

I just sat back, and for the first time the whole day I breathed easily.
